Chinese entertainment: What's wrong with actresses wanting to improve?

Chapter 345: Pacific Rim Premiere

Yang Zi picked up a glass of champagne, took a big gulp, and then took half a step forward.

"Director Fu, besides watching the movie, there's something else I'd like to talk to you about today."

I founded Juli Pictures in May of this year. The company is just starting out and is in need of good projects.

Your company, Dawn, is an industry benchmark, and I sincerely hope to cooperate with you.

money is not a problem.

"Just tell me how much investment is needed for your project."

"Mr. Yang, Chenxi currently has no need for external financing."

"Director Fu, don't rush to refuse."

There's nothing that money can't buy in the market.

How much does the Morning Light project cost? Just name your price, and I, Yang Zi, will not haggle.

You can go and ask around; I mean what I say.

Wang Changtian and Li Ming stood to the side, their expressions subtle.

Fu Yibai looked at Yang Zi, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

"Mr. Yang, the Chenxi project has no shortage of funds."

I don't lack money myself.

Collaboration requires a certain fate.

When the time is right, I will naturally come to visit you.

Yang Zi's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered and waved his hand.

"Okay, then I'll wait."

Director Fu, please remember, my door is always open for you.

"Come find me anytime you figure it out."

He took a step back and put his arm around Huang Shengyi's waist.

"Let's go, I'll take you to say hello to a few directors."

Yang Zi put his arm around Huang Shengyi and walked to the other side of the hall. His white suit made his figure stand out in the crowd.

Wang Changtian had been holding back for a long time, and as soon as Yang Zi's figure disappeared into the crowd, he put down his wine glass.

"This person registered Juli Pictures in May of this year, and he has invested in several projects in the past six months."

But they were all low-budget, third-rate films and web series, with a total investment that probably didn't even amount to five million.

Don't be fooled by his act of being flush with cash; if he were really asked to invest tens of millions in a movie, he probably couldn't even scrape together a fraction of it.

Wang Changtian's face showed a hint of disdain.

"He came to this event today to 'fish' for people. He wants to use Director Fu's name to embellish his own image and then deceive other unsuspecting people."

Li Ming added from the side, his tone even more direct.

"The last time he talked to a director about a collaboration, he said 'money is no problem,' but when it came time to sign the contract, he couldn't even come up with five million."

"So, how many people in the industry really take this Mr. Yang seriously?"

Fu Yibai picked up his champagne glass and took a sip.

"Not a single one."

Wang Changtian answered crisply and decisively.

"He only managed to get into the entertainment industry because of his family's wealth."

To put it bluntly, he's not even as good as the coal bosses of a few years ago.

Those coal bosses may not know anything, but they really do get paid.

this……

It all comes down to his words.

The three of them laughed at the same time.

Jiang Wen walked out from the crowd.

He was wearing a black Chinese-style stand-up collar jacket today, and his hair was shaved very short, making him look sharp and capable.

He strode over, a smile on his face that was both excited and mysterious.

"Yi Bai."

"Brother Wen."

"Your mecha is really cool."

"The special effects team put in a lot of effort."

What has Brother Jiang been busy with lately?

"That's exactly what I was going to say."

Jiang Wen took half a step forward, lowering his voice as if he were sharing a huge secret.

"I'm starting filming a new movie this month, 'Let the Bullets Fly'."

I've been working on this notebook for almost two years, and it's finally finished.

Both Ge You and Chow Yun-fat signed it.

Fu Yibai raised an eyebrow slightly.

In his past life's memory, this cast and crew made "Let the Bullets Fly" an insurmountable milestone in the history of Chinese-language cinema.

"Chow Yun-fat and Ge You?"

"Brother Jiang must have quite a bit of influence to be able to bring these two together."

"It's not about saving face."

The notebook is good; they all liked it after reading it.

Jiang Wen put his hand on Fu Yibai's shoulder and leaned forward.

"This movie is absolutely hilarious."

There's a line in it that I really like.

"Earn money while standing up."

Listen to this: they're making money while standing up.

That's a powerful statement.

"Good words."

"I knew you'd understand."

Jiang Wen patted his shoulder hard, so hard that Fu Yibai swayed slightly.

"Yi Bai, come to the set after the filming starts."

I'm not quite sure how I'm handling a few scenes. Could you take a look and give me some advice?

I trust your judgment.

"Okay. When do you want to turn it on?"

"December 10th, in Taishan, Guangdong."

"I've written it down."

I'll definitely go then.

"readily!"

Jiang Wen patted him again, then turned and strode away, his steps filled with barely suppressed excitement.

Fan Binbin returned after touching up her makeup and walked to Fu Yibai's side.

She changed her earrings, replacing the diamonds with pearls, which made her face shape look softer.

What did Director Jiang say to you?

He looks very excited.

"His new movie is about to start filming, and he asked me to visit the set."

"Let the Bullets Fly? I've heard of it."

Ge You and Chow Yun-fat have both signed on, and rumors in the industry are that this film is going to be a hit.

Fan Binbin took his arm again.

Huang Xiaoming walked over with a glass of champagne in his hand.

He was wearing a dark blue suit, his hair was neatly combed, and he had a standard idol smile on his face.

"Director Fu, Binbin."

"Brother Xiaoming."

Fan Binbin nodded in greeting.
