Chapter 922

Snapped! Snapped! Snapped!

There was a rhythmic knock on the door.

Hu Fei was leaning on the boss chair and rubbing his brows, when he heard the knock on the door, he sat up all of a sudden, his breathing was as steady as usual, and he said calmly: "Come in!"

Ming Xiaojing pushed the door open and came in.

"Oh, Xiaojing is here? Come, come, come, sit!"

Hu Fei got up immediately, with a friendly smile on his face, and greeted at the same time: "Xiao Liu, which cabinet did you put my tea in? Find it, find it!"

The secretary came in and asked which tea, Hu Fei replied, "It's just the cake of black tea I just brought yesterday!"

Xiao Liu immediately understood, turned around and went to the cabinet where Hu Fei stored the tea, and quickly found the tea.

At this time, Hu Fei had already started to boil water himself, and seeing that Ming Xiaojing was still standing, he greeted again, "Sit, sit!" After finishing speaking, he sat down first.

Ming Xiaojing was somewhat surprised.

Hu Fei usually treats people very affectionately, which makes people feel that they are particularly willing to make friends with him, but today... how should I put it, in terms of the sixth sense of a more careful woman, he is a bit too affectionate.

After he sat down, Ming Xiaojing sat down.

As an actor, you can't compare with a director. Even if you are a celebrity and famous enough to Ming Xiaojing's level, you can't talk about your stature when facing a boss and big boss like Hu Fei.

Qin Wei can call Hu Fei a brother and brother, and call "Old Hu" face to face, no problem, but Ming Xiaojing has to show some respect—even if this old Hu is very affectionate with Kang Xiaolou who calls him a brother and brother at every turn, but he is in the circle , You must know all the rules, he calls you brother, brother, please don't push your nose on your face!

The two sat down, and the secretary came over with the tea leaves, skillfully found out the tea needle, pried out enough for a pot, filled it with the tea handle, put it on the table, and asked: "Mr. Hu, should I make it or not?" ..."

Hu Fei seemed to be in a really good mood today, and said with a smile: "No, I'll rush by myself, let's talk for a while! Go get busy!"

Secretary Xiao Liu took him to the door and went out.

Ming Xiaojing felt that something was wrong.

The water boiled, and Hu Fei made tea, started tea, and divided tea fluently.

After the tea soup was divided, he asked with a smile, "How is Lao Qin?"

Ming Xiaojing received a call from Hu Fei after he came out of Qin Wei's house. Hu Fei naturally wanted to care about Qin Wei's current state.

Ming Xiaojing heard the words and said, "It's not very good."

Hu Fei put away his smile, nodded, and then sighed heavily.

"Yeah, it can't be too good! What happened this time hit him hard!" Hu Fei shook his head and sighed, "Old Qin, a person who has never lost in his life! He has never been so ashamed in his life! "

Ming Xiaojing nodded.

At this time, she simply didn't know how to describe her deepest thoughts to others.

regret? grief? Pity?

neither.

Alternatively, the four words "inexplicably sad" can be used to roughly describe it.

When she first debuted, Qin Wei was a young and middle-aged director who had risen to fame, and was hailed as a rare genius by the domestic film industry. Before she was forty years old, she had already won various domestic awards. When the two met, the cooperation of a "Red Light District" directly brought both of them to the pinnacle of their respective careers.

At that time, Qin Wei was full of vigor and pride.

However, what he saw today was already a little old and a little sad.

Seems to be getting old fast.

After Hu Fei sighed with emotion, he said, "Stop talking about this, drink tea and have a taste!"

Ming Xiaojing forced a smile, picked up the cup and took a sip.

This is the first time I drink black tea.

Hu Fei picked up the teacup and took a sip, then watched Ming Xiaojing put down the cup with a smile, and asked, "How is it? What about the taste, is it okay?"

Ming Xiaojing said with a smile: "I don't know much about tea. If you, Mr. Hu, value it so much, then it must be good tea."

Hu Fei smiled when he heard the words, and said, "I don't understand tea either! It's just this tea...hehe."

He left half of his speech, Ming Xiaojing couldn't help but look at him.

Hu Fei said: "I met for dinner two years ago. Li Qian took He Runqing and He Tianhou to go. He Runqing brought these two boxes of tea and gave them to me. I suddenly remembered yesterday. I dug them out at home and brought them here."

Ming Xiaojing was a little stunned.

In the past when they had frequent exchanges, it seems that Li Qian mentioned that He Runqing's hometown produced black tea, and Li Qian liked to drink tea. Obviously, He Runqing probably searched for him a lot.

She knew Li Qian very well.

In addition to creating, creating, and creating, he himself doesn't care much about basic necessities of life. But the point is that most of the people around him are people with good taste, so although he doesn't pay attention to and doesn't care, but the people around him help him pay attention to and care about him. Unknowingly, he There are almost no ordinary things around for food, clothing and wear—once when I went to his office with Xiaolou, the two of them opened the cabinet to look for cigars. Shocked, I went home and talked about it for a long time.

The root of the problem is here. There are some things that you may not even be able to buy with money!

But Li Qian is weird: he smokes cigars, someone gives them top-notch cigars, he doesn’t care about the clothes, but Zhou Mo founded a clothing brand by himself, and he loves drinking tea. In my impression, Xie Bing simply paid for a big piece Leave the tea garden to her father to manage, nothing else, just bring the most essential tea every year.

As the two most famous nursery rhymes in the domestic music scene, Xie Bing can do that, so you can imagine that He Runqing, who is smarter and more thoughtful, might have bought a tea garden in Hunan's hometown!

How should I put it, it gives people the feeling that although Li Qian doesn't care about these things, the things he enjoys daily are extremely extravagant.

Of course, at this time, the information just flashed through my mind.

After all, it's not a big deal.

The most important thing is that Hu Fei called himself over and took out the tea that Li Qian gave him two years ago.

This is a bit interesting.

Calculating carefully, from the fight between the two movies last year, until Li Qian couldn't bear it anymore and took out the break-up letter that shocked the entire entertainment industry, the two sides have completely severed contact for more than a year.

Subconsciously picked up the cup and took another sip.

Well, I still can't drink anything, but it seems to be quite moist.

Hu Fei took a sip of tea, put it down, seemed to be brewing for a while, and then said: "I remember that "Unfinished Love" was scheduled at the end of September?"

Ming Xiaojing nodded, "Yes."

After a pause, he said again: "After all, it's not a commercial film, and it's courting death in time for the summer vacation."

Hu Fei nodded, "Well, that's right, try to avoid risks!"

But soon, he asked again: "How is it? Do you have any new ideas? What are you going to do for the next film?"

Ming Xiaojing was taken aback when he heard the words, and then said after a while: "Aren't you afraid that I will lose money for "Unfinished Love"?"

Hu Fei laughed, "If you pay, you will pay! Movies are inherently high-input, high-return, and high-risk. We have been making movies for so many years, and we have a little bit of wealth and knowledge. You, Brother Hu, and I It’s not like those people outside, who are immediately frightened when they say they might lose money!”

Speaking of this, he waved his hand and said grandly: "As far as your production cost is concerned, how much can you pay for it? Besides, you are a dignified actress. There is nothing to say about your artistic talent. One can't do two." One film, two films are not enough, three films, if you lose, you will understand what is going on, once you understand at your level, one film can earn back all the losses in the past!"

Speaking of this, he laughed, "If you can't do it anymore, if you keep paying for several movies, then you can sign a contract of sale, just take a few more movies and earn the money back and pay me back!"

Ming Xiaojing couldn't help showing a smile.

Some are elated.

But she soon realized that things were definitely not that simple.

It is true that Hu Fei is very generous, but he has never been too generous when it comes to business investment and movie investment—on the contrary, if you say you fancy a certain luxurious dress, the boss dares to even Don't even ask the price, just say, buy it, I will give it to you!

In short, work is work, investment is investment, friendship is friendship.

Moreover, when I first proposed to shoot "Unfinished Love", he didn't have the attitude he has now - I approached him three times, and the budget was cut from 4 million to 2 million, but he still asked him again and again. Killed directly.

In the end, I found Li Qian. He was soft-hearted. He knew that he would lose money, so he decided to give half of the money to himself—but he later betrayed his love.

So at this time, after being happy, Ming Xiaojing didn't say a word, just looked at him.

Hu Fei also looked at her.

We are not fools, nor are we laymen.

Just go around in circles. Although Hu Fei is a smooth person, he has never been the kind of person who goes around.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and he said bluntly: "Xiaojing, the current situation is like this, Lao Qin's spirit was blown away all of a sudden, I guess he will have to rest for a while to get over it. But now, Minghu culture has become a major trend. They are invincible in movies and TV dramas. Li Qian is not only talented, but also very good at training people. Feng Bicheng and Zhao He have already made their mark! Jin Han also won an award! , as far as I know, Han Shunzhang is the number one director in Li Qian's hands, and he hasn't made a move yet! In addition, it is said that Li Qian also has a high opinion of Lu Lingxi!"

Speaking of this, he looked heavy and said, "Think about it, what kind of concept is this? In just a few years, Li Qian's three films have been famous and profitable. The director under him also produced one Only one movie sold well! The domestic box office has exceeded 500 million so far, including this "Huang Feihong", there are four in total, and their company has three of them!"

Having said that, he sighed and said, "This battle is impossible to fight!"

Ming Xiaojing looked at him in surprise.

She really didn't expect that such a boss as Hu Fei would actually say such things to herself.

The situation... Has it reached this point?

Hu Fei raised his hand, as if he wanted to do something, but in the end he put it down helplessly, and just said: "If "Golden Terrace" starts this wave, we can barely stand up to Minghu, let's pull it up again Zhou Yanghua, I can hold on for a while, but "Golden Terrace" is going to hit me, so I can't help it! Zhou Yanghua is probably thinking about finding a place to cry where no one is around this year, and I'm about the same!"

"What should we do? We've worked hard, we've worked hard, but we just can't get him!"

"On my side, Lao Qin is broken. At least one year, he can't rest. The key is that he has no confidence! Liu Chengzhang's new movie does not know when it will be released. The key is, even if it is his new movie I made a lot of money, but I can’t count on him! He is not a person who can carry the flag! Moreover, he has no deep friendship with us, so he will leave as soon as he says it!”

"For Zhou Yanghua, Wu Han's film may be released in the second half of the year. This is good news, but this year, even Lao Qin and Du Weiyun can make such a move, so Wu Han will definitely be able to do it? Besides, several of the best-selling films in China this year He didn't even have a mouthful of soup for this play, and Du Weiyun, who he relied on the most, also threw himself like that..."

"I guess he can't stand it anymore. As long as Minghu Culture's future plays are not copied to him, he will stare blankly! You know, the movie theaters of the Oriental Cinemas are all in the bustling commercial district! The same movie, he The attendance rate there is high, but the rent is also expensive! He has a lot of costs and expenses. If he doesn’t have the movies that other people have, he can’t get them. Let me tell you, it’s okay to say in one year, but in two years, he will have to wear all his underpants. Pay it off!"

"It didn't take a year and a half for Zhou Yanghua to be so clever. He probably has come to his senses by now. What is there to fight for? What is there to fight for? To put it bluntly, we are not like you. You are artists. We It's just a businessman! A businessman, isn't the ultimate goal of making such a big mess? Because of vindictiveness, you don't even make money? Are you stupid?"

"So, maybe he had intentions before, and I also had intentions, but now, my heart is like a mirror, and he probably already knows very well in his heart. Even if our two families are united, and Yuan Ke is added, of course, it is still the same. If we can continue to wrestle with Minghu Culture for a while, the three companies can still form a Minghu foundation if we join together, and with the fact that Oriental Media has a theater chain, we can be regarded as a strong army!"

"But it doesn't make much sense anymore!"

"It's still the same sentence, what are you fighting for! Everyone joins hands to make money, which is serious business!"

"But the problem now is that, as you know, the relationship is dead! Very dead!"

Speaking of this, he looked a little worried, raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, then waved his hand unconsciously, "I don't know what Zhou Yanghua will do, but I, we, have to turn around!"

Speaking of this, he looked at Ming Xiaojing and said: "Xiaojing, I know, this will make you a little bit embarrassed. But, I can only find you! I know the relationship between you and Li Qian before, but for the old man Qin, I know I have hurt this love, but what can I do?"

Up to now, Ming Xiaojing feels that this may be the most and longest passage he has ever heard Hu Fei say in one breath-it means that of course he understands it, he understands it very well.

only……

Hu Fei said: "In this way, you can draw up a book, even if there is only an outline! Just shoot what you want to shoot the most, and I will tell you clearly, Brother Hu is not afraid to pay for your film! You will pay for everything, you and me I can only thank you, okay? Just treat yourself as the top trainer and go play with confidence!"

After a pause, he said: "There is only one request, the male and female protagonists, invite someone from Minghu Culture! And you must invite me! The heavier the better!"

After finishing speaking, before Ming Xiaojing could reply, he added, "If you can get Li Qian's script, that would be even better!"

Ming Xiaojing looked troubled.

Shall we go to Li Qian again?

She really didn't have that confidence anymore, and felt that she really didn't have the face to make any more requests.

As we all know, Li Qian does not take on any dramas except for one "Red Sorghum". The hero of "Unfinished Love".

Think about it, how much face is this.

What a great deal of affection.

but……

When she met in Cannes this year, she already knew very well that the past friendship was gone.

"Mr. Hu, I'm afraid it's..." She shook her head, trying to refuse.

Hu Fei quickly raised his hand, stopped her words, and said: "Li Qian is a nostalgic person, and his heart is also soft. As long as you go, he will definitely not refute your face! You believe in you, Brother Hu, I see people, and never make mistakes! "

Ming Xiaojing looked at him and wanted to say at this moment, even if he would agree to me, I would be ashamed to go.

But after thinking about it, another sentence came out of my mouth, "Some of what you said just now, I understand, but there are others, I don't understand! Zhou Yanghua has theaters in his hand, and he wants to support them. , he can’t continue to lose the screening rights of those big-selling movies over at Minghu, but our Huafei Film and Television..."

Hu Fei laughed, shaking his head while laughing.

Ming Xiaojing's words naturally stopped.

After a pause, Hu Fei said: "Last year, Lao Qin's "The Gate of Life and Death" stepped down Li Qian's "Huang Feihong". Box office! So, what's next? Du Weiyun is on the move, Lao Qin is on the attack, and Li Qian is unstoppable! In this circle of people in the country, whoever he wants to destroy! Not to mention him, even Feng Bicheng and Zhao He, they are also human I have seen a scary character!"

"What if Minghu Culture turned around and began to target our film, what should we do? Among other things, he will make the third part of "Huang Feihong" next year. Whatever schedule you set, he will set it." What schedule, what should I do? Let’s say it’s small, make less money, and lower the box office; let’s say it’s bigger, the current power of "Once Upon a Time" can directly crush all the films of the same period!"

"To put it bluntly, Shiyi time shifts, we are at a disadvantage now! So I don't want to, and I don't dare to fight against them! And... I'm afraid!"

"So, I'll pay for it, and you'll make a movie and invite actors from Minghu! Let's take this opportunity to ease the relationship, and hope that Minghu culture won't target us in the future. Tell me, is that the reason?"

Ming Xiaojing hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and said: "Li Qian... no way? He is not such a person!"

Hu Fei nodded, but said: "But Qi Jie will!"

Ming Xiaojing suddenly felt speechless.
