After being slag, I became popular in the entertainment industry

The ten-hour flight was finally coming to an end, and the clear seaside city appeared in front of Chen Zhiwen's eyes.

Lee City.

In the setting of the original book, this is a city of desire, and it is also nicknamed the city of angels.

This may sound contradictory, of course, on the one hand, because it is not controlled by any country, many people can find gold in this city and get everything they want-fame, status, and so on. The title of Meihuan is because it is surrounded by the sea on all sides, and the white fine sand is printed with waves interlaced with moving sunshine, which makes people have the illusion of being favored by angels.

On the plane, Chen Zhiwen always felt that a curly-haired young man with glasses and small freckles on his face seemed to be peeking at him all the time.

There was a fiery light in the young man's eyes, and when Chen Zhiwen set his eyes on him, he was sitting upright again, pushing his glasses in a hurry, and the tips of his ears were quietly turning red.

Chen Zhiwen raised his eyebrows.

——It's really interesting... I'm obviously very interested, but I hold my face. It's rare to meet such a shy foreign little brother.

He smiled softly, set his eyes on the computer screen with little freckles, but narrowed his eyes slightly.

It was a series of astonishing numbers, which can be called a fairly detailed report of the numbers of various theater chains around the world.

This man is a numerical genius, but also a master of information gathering.

Although the other party's secrets are deep and the names are basically abbreviated, Chen Zhiwen still has an impression of the plot of the original book.

Among movie theater companies, in the future there will be a streaming media revolution video-on-demand platform company with a very small market capitalization. The big boys and the heroine Xu Xiuxiu in the movie caused a little trouble.

They tapped into the video-on-demand platform market. In the early stage, they developed their Internet advantages to the extreme, collected all kinds of data, and finally accumulated a lot of money and made great achievements.

Although there is still no way to compete with traditional theater film companies, it has also created its own world in the highly competitive global entertainment market.

This company was created by a group of teenagers who love movies and have considerable attainments in network technology.

——And now... One of the founders who created all this is likely to be sitting next to him.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhiwen unhurriedly touched the edge of the water glass, feeling very satisfied.

Cinema movies are often inseparable from real estate developers. Huaguo's entertainment companies, especially the Yuan family and Zhou family, have occupied too much market share. If he wants to stir up domestic capital forces, he will suddenly emerge In other words, Chen Zhiwen has thought about it, taking the lead in seizing the opportunity in streaming movies, and then combining offline theaters, like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, gradually eating away at their movie market.

——This is currently the safest and most feasible method.

Thinking of this, Chen Zhiwen had the idea of ​​getting to know each other.

However, the active approach is really against his aesthetics.

He pressed a button, and the stewardess on the plane came to him with a sweet smile and brought him a glass of warm water.

When Chen Zhiwen took it, he loosened his fingers slightly, and the warm water just fell on the little curly hair next to him.

"what…………"

The little curly screamed in panic and lowered his head, but he didn't feel annoyed at all.

Something happened that made him even more flustered.

On this international plane, he couldn't help sneaking a peek at the young man from the East as if in a daze, but smiled at him apologetically, took out a piece of paper, and wiped it carefully for him.

"Excuse me."

The paper was too thin, and the temperature of the fingers fell on the body through the paper.

With the movement of wiping, the wrist wrapped under the shirt was exposed.

His wrist bones looked a little slender, with a desire to break.

The little curly hair quickly reached out and grabbed Chen Zhiwen, but when he felt the touch of the skin, his face turned even redder.

"No...it's okay, I, I just wipe it myself..."

I don't know if it's because he was born stuttering, or because he was nervous, but the words that came out of his mouth sounded cute.

Chen Zhiwen smiled, and withdrew his hand as he said.

As if nothing had happened, he turned sideways, quietly looking at the scenery outside the window, his side face was unbelievably beautiful.

There is an ambiguous current in the air.

Perhaps it was because of Chen Zhiwen's actions just now, this little curly-haired man became bolder.

Before getting off the plane, he carefully proposed the idea of ​​exchanging contact information with Chen Zhiwen. To his delight, the oriental young man looked him up indifferently, and quickly agreed to his request.

"Are you a student at Caltech?"

Chen Zhiwen looked through his circle of friends, saw the photo of him typing codes in the campus library, he believed his previous guess even more, and asked with a smile.

"Yes, I...my name is Michelle..."

Little Curly said stammeringly.

Chen Zhiwen is a master of conversation.

In the previous life, he was able to deal with so many little lovers not only because he had an excellent appearance, but also, as long as he was patient, his magnetic and gentle tone of voice could arouse anyone's interest.

The little curly-haired Michel soon discovered that this young man not only had a shy look, but also they had a lot in common in terms of movies.

That's natural. In his last life, Chen Zhiwen was a leader in the director circle of Huaguo. Since he had the bold idea to use science fiction in his first film, he also has many breakthroughs in many groundbreaking fields that ordinary people dare not think of. unique idea.

They chatted happily, and when they got off the plane, Little Curly waved to him reluctantly, calling him Chen who had become kind.

"You, what you said makes sense...Chen! So, so, do you also think that streaming media film companies are feasible? I... When I proposed this idea before, my classmates laughed at me and told me not to Delusional! Going to work in a technology company with peace of mind is better than anything else!"

He said excitedly and laughed, and the little freckles on his face seemed to be very vivid.

"Oops... I still have a material chemistry quiz, Chen...Chen, let's talk this weekend, Chen!"

"Nice to meet you!"

After getting off the plane, he rejected several men who wanted to strike up a conversation with him. Chen Zhiwen watched the back of the other party leaving, put his hand in the pocket of the windbreaker, with an unpredictable smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Yes, Michelle, nice to meet you too."

.....................

After taking a taxi, according to the text message on the mobile phone, Chen Zhiwen came to the place designated by the mixed-race investor.

The taxi driver was a black uncle. When he saw the address above, he showed his white teeth.

"Hey, Morgan Building! The building of the top film investment company, are you a star? Boy, no wonder you look so good-looking!"

Chen Zhiwen quietly held his chin, looked at the floating scenery outside the window, and replied with a smile before getting out of the car, "No, I'm just an ordinary director."

Seeing Chen Zhiwen's fleeting smile, like melting mountain snow, the black uncle was stunned for a long time, and did not restart the car until Chen Zhiwen got out of the car for a long time.

He kept muttering, "Damn, are the requirements for being a director so high now... This appearance is not inferior to most actors, right?"

………………

Chen Zhiwen entered the Morgan Building unhurriedly.

With a charming smile on the corner of his mouth, he asked a little, and then, under the blushing eyes of the staff at the bottom, he walked in the direction she pointed out.

The elevator moved up step by step, and when he reached the 25th floor stipulated in the text message on his mobile phone, he heard a burst of fierce quarreling, accompanied by even a bang bang bang bang sound like smashing things.

The door opened a crack, and many voices could be heard clearly.

"This kind of film... such an extremely bad script? You guys still want to shoot it? Ha, the book "Luo Shui" caused a lot of controversy more than ten years ago, are you crazy?!"

A voice that sounded extremely sharp sounded.

"Huge controversies, huge risks, if handled well, often bring incredible rewards."

The other voice sounded a little softer, like the mellow aroma of brewing wine, as if comforting the person opposite.

Chen Zhiwen raised his eyebrows, and stood outside the door listening casually.

"Luo Shui" is his first official big movie that is about to start shooting this time, and at the same time, it is also a movie with a somewhat controversial subject matter.

It comes from a novel of the same name more than ten years ago. It tells the story of a middle-aged painter who is handsome and has a good social status, and falls in love with a rather immature girl. The girl's name is Luo Shui.

He was obsessed with her youth, and her vivid and beautiful smile. He got close to her and became her tutor. Can't be satisfied.

The middle-aged painter left one painting after another in his studio. It is Luo Shui pursing his lips and tracing pictures in the studio, Luo Shui taking a nap in the lounge, Luo Shui...

Each one is that girl.

This novel caused a great sensation as soon as it was published, because the person who wrote this book used a strong obsessive tone to shape his love for girls. Perhaps it is his own inner allusion. At the back of the book, the middle-aged The painter did many unbearable things, such as seduction, rape, threat of taking pictures, intimidation... But in the back of the novel, those atrocities are beautified in a vague tone, leaving only the front, the Chinese The young painter takes care of the young girl like a father and an elder brother.

Such behavior made Chen Zhiwen feel extremely disgusted.

He is a scumbag. Although he is definitely not a saint emotionally, he will never do anything to deceive minors.

Emotionally, it's your love and my wish, you are greedy for my gentle and graceful appearance, I will give you the film resources you want, and you will sleep with me. This is like a deal, and no one suffers.

But everything this painter has done, with such a name of love, is a hundred times worse than Chen Zhiwen, a scum who thinks he is playing with emotions.

Chen Zhiwen took out a silver lighter and smoked a cigarette.

That was what Yuan Kai forced on Chen Zhiwen before he left.That guy's tone was very bad that day, and he said coldly, "This thing is very broken. I planned to buy a new one at first, and this is a charity for you, the poor."

Naturally, Yuan Kai himself would not tell Chen Zhiwen his true thoughts.

—I want you...don't forget me.

He would never say such hypocritical words.

His thoughts slowly withdrew, Chen Zhiwen would choose to take on such a controversial adaptation of the movie "Luoshui", which does not contradict his distaste for the original.

Because, the mixed-race investor of this film directly pointed out that he wanted Chen Zhiwen to shoot this film with an extremely critical eye.

All beastly deeds cannot be beautified, they should be uprooted from the dark abyss and judged by everyone as a matter of course, instead of being wrapped in a sweet coat.

However, even if the tone of the trial is set, how to grasp the degree of eroticism and beauty in artistic creation, how to handle the transformation of emotions before and after is very natural, and how to deal with all the audience's feelings about the film before seeing the film. The original work of this novel has colored spectacles and disgusted gazes... This is quite a challenge for any famous director.

What's more, in this world, Chen Zhiwen is just a little-known director who has never made a formal movie.

The investor of this movie came to him directly.

It's just because he accidentally saw the movie "Redemption" shot by Chen Zhiwen.

Chen Zhiwen touched his chin.

He suddenly became curious about this man named Augustine Kevin, who was said to be a half-Chinese man of mixed race.

This person can be regarded as a playboy, and he is also one of the big bosses in the original book. He changed his temper after meeting the heroine Xu Xiuxiu.When the heroine Xu Xiuxiu became an international actress, a young international producer walked over to the brightly lit reception with a smile.Due to his mixed blood, Augustine Kevin, whose appearance is more profound than that of Orientals, when he met Xu Xiuxiu for the first time, he secretly showed a good impression of her.

The appearance in the book is very supple. At the banquet, the man holding the crystal wine glass, when he smiled and stared at someone with seemingly affectionate eyes, in those silver-gray eyes, It's like taking a sunset with the Milky Way.

"Rose is the most suitable for you."

He is different from Yuan Kai. Although both of them are playboys, one is a lion who pretends to deceive uncles who are sharpening their knives. As for Augustine Kevin, he was born in a free and unrestrained country, and his nature has a bit of Love to play lively.

Not to mention the difference in investing in movies.

That guy Yuan Dashao was probably willing to invest in his first micro-movie with a curiosity-seeking mentality, and 1000 million is not a big deal for someone with that kind of family background. large amount.

But Augustine Kevin's invitation was crazy.

For such an official movie, the amount of investment may be 10 times higher than that of "Redemption". It should be said that this person can take the initiative to find a person like me who has only made one micro movie and is almost hidden by the Huaguo director circle. Tricky and vicious, or bold and reckless?

And at this moment, the people in the room started another round of fierce quarrel.

"Okay... okay... I understand the truth, you mean you have found a reliable director? Ha, a director who only made a small 40-minute micro-movie? A 24-year-old director?"

"God, does he know how to move the camera? Can he use a helicopter to shoot panoramic shots? Or can he just hold a DV camera and shoot landscapes like a child?"

The sharp voice said with a sneer.

"No, 23 years old to be precise."

Another calm voice corrected with a smile, "That Chen, he will be 6 years old in nearly 24 months."

"23 years old... 23 years old, Augustine, at his age, I was obediently studying in college, trying my best to acquire knowledge, don't tell me that this young guy hasn't even graduated from college yet?"

"He is no longer in the school. Oh no, he was expelled from the most famous Yanhua Film Academy in Huaguo, but that was a misunderstanding. Because of this misunderstanding, the dean of this academy has been dismissed and the case has been investigated."

"The most famous? Being able to expel a student just because of a misunderstanding... I guess this is some kind of pheasant university!"

The man with the sharp voice was arguing persistently.

Very noisy.

Chen Zhiwen glanced, and through the crack of the door, he could see the man in a silver suit with his thinning hair combed back meticulously, excitedly pointing his fingers at the table.

"I will not agree to the company's investment plan this time! Invite such a director to come and carry out such a failed film project. I would rather jump off the 25th floor immediately!"

"What's his name...? Chen Zhiwen? Hehe, if he really dares to accept the invitation and come here, I will definitely—"

jump off.

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted.

Pushing the door open, Chen Zhiwen straightened the corners of his clothes, and walked in with an elegant smile on his lips.

"I am coming."

Slightly scanning the two people in the office who had stopped arguing in an instant, Chen Zhiwen's gaze was filled with a faint, calm light.

That is not the confidence that an ordinary young director should have.

It seems to be an international director who is already famous all over the world and has countless famous names.

"I'll take this movie."
