Reborn God Superstar
Chapter 37
Xu Changpei looked at Qi Su with a smile, and said to Qi Jiuzhou, "Hurry up and introduce this handsome guy to me!"
Qi Jiuzhou rolled his eyes: "Am I not a handsome guy? [Please search for updates soon]"
Xu Changpei curled his lips: "You have more wrinkles on your face than the young handsome guy."
Qi Jiuzhou stared round his eyes angrily: "Did you talk like that! Hurt friends!" Then he patted Qi Su on the shoulder, with a malicious expression on his face: "See, this is what happens when you make friends carelessly."
Qi Su smiled, but remained silent.
Xu Changpei smiled and slapped his hands: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, you just don't like teasing." Then he turned his gaze to Qi Su: "This is Qi Su, I've been looking forward to meeting you Woolen cloth."
Qi Su greeted politely: "Mr. Xu is good."
Xu Changpei stared at Qi Su for a few seconds, a smile overflowed from the corner of his eyes, his expression was vivid and cute.Qi Su didn't expect that the famous double actress would have such a lively personality.He had previously thought that his visit this time was already a bit of a dead end.There must be some quarrels or fights between Qi Jiuzhou and this big guy.If no one can convince anyone in the end, the scene must be quite embarrassing and ugly.And Qi Jiuzhou's own expression also has a sense of sternness on the battlefield.
However, Xu Changpei's character is indeed beyond Qi Su's expectations, and Qi Jiuzhou's close relationship with Xu Changpei is another piece of news that has not been exposed.
Xu Changpei placed Qi Jiuzhou and Qi Su on the sofa.
Li Youning, who had been standing aside hesitating to speak, was moved to her side by her, while Qi Su and Qi Jiuzhou sat on the sofa that Li Youning had just sat on.
The servants brought tea and snacks.
Qi Jiuzhou doesn't talk nonsense with Xu Changpei, and their relationship is really no better than ordinary friends, so there is no need to gossip about compliments.
Xu Changpei took a sip of tea and smiled slightly: "Jiuzhou, I read the script, and the lines and plot are all right. Of course, the script you crafted carefully is top-notch."
Qi Jiuzhou frowned: "Then why didn't you answer?"
Xu Changpei said: "The book is good, but I don't like it."
Qi Jiuzhou stared: "Huh? No, why."
Xu Changpei Qi Jiuzhou: "You know, Jiuzhou, now I can't choose scripts as I used to. I'm not targeting you, nor is it that your script is not good. It's just that I have to be more cautious now." "Dream The heroine of "Lover" is similar to the characters in "Dream" that I filmed before, and I don't really want to take on such biased roles. What's more, you know, if I take your drama, it will I definitely don’t have time to catch up with other events in half a year. With you in “Dream Lover”, it’s unlikely that it will be made into a bad movie. But it’s a bit far from my request.”
Qi Jiuzhou's expression was complicated, and he could tell that what Xu Changpei wanted was a script that could win international awards, not something that stood out among the short people in China.Although Qi Jiuzhou's ability to write and direct himself is outstanding, he is subject to too many restrictions.The domestic environment is like this, and he can't help it.If you want to be more pioneering, you have to take the risk of not being judged.If it follows the market trend, it will be difficult to be elegant.
The halo over Xu Changpei's head was too heavy, and it was no longer possible to use subjective feelings to choose the script.She is the face of Canxing, and even the face of the entire Chinese film and television industry.What she wants is super high-quality, and there is a big team behind the script, and big money to operate.The status quo of Qi Jiuzhou obviously cannot meet the standard.
The filming cycle is long, and Xu Changpei doesn't have so much time to waste.
Xu Changpei poured tea for Qi Jiuzhou: "You are my friend, that's why I find it difficult to do it. If it's someone else, why should I tell him so much? Just ask the agent to push it."
Qi Jiuzhou curled his lips: "Cut, don't make yourself so majestic."
Xu Changpei seemed to be used to bickering with Qi Jiuzhou, and he didn't care about Qi Jiuzhou at all.She patted Li Youning's arm, and said to Qi Jiuzhou: "However, you were so excited to invite me to act, but I refused, and I feel very sorry."
Qi Jiuzhou raised his eyes, a little speechless: "Well, you don't think that what you said is not sharp enough, so you should make up for me a few more times."
"No way, I can't play the role, but I can be an investor. No, I brought Li Shao over."
"Director Qi, it's a pleasure to meet you." Li Youning stretched out a hand.
Qi Jiuzhou shook his hand and also greeted: "It's a pleasure to meet you."
Li Youning secretly glanced at Qi Su, and Qi Su nodded at him.
Xu Changpei's meaningful eyes lingered between the two for a moment, then fell on Li Youning: "It seems that Li Shao and Qi Su have known each other before."
Li Youning was still deliberating on how to answer, but Qi Su was the first to speak: "We met a few times ago, Mr. Li visited the crew of "Dynasty" earlier."
Xu Changpei seemed to understand: "Oh, so that's the case." He glanced at Li Youning, with a smile on his lips.
Li Youning was a little embarrassed, and nodded accordingly.
Fortunately, Qi Jiuzhou quickly brought the topic back to film investment.
Li Youning's media company last year wholly owned or participated in the investment of five films, the total box office value reached an astonishing 40 billion, making a lot of money.Among them, three are youth films that arouse the nostalgia of the whole people, one nonsensical and funny film, and one action film.The results are very gratifying.
Li Youning is the top in the industry in terms of investment vision and professionalism.
He is indeed born well, but he is also an incredible business genius.
As soon as Xu Changpei mentioned Li Youning's record, Qi Jiuzhou knew that Li Youning's money was not easy to lobby.
Seasoned investors often disagree with the filmmakers' ideas.A businessman seeks profit, not a dreamer, nor a philanthropist.You are an artist, you can draw a big pie and eat it yourself, but investors will not go crazy with you.No good profit prospects, no one to play with you, this is the reality.
It's not the first time Qi Jiuzhou has negotiated with investors. He likes the kind of nouveau riche who only cares about the production team and the fame of the leading actors. He is quite easy to fool.People like Li Youning are not liked by directors and producers.Because of this kind of people, they are considered half filmmakers and know the market conditions in the industry.He will guide you how to do it, how to add elements that are popular at the moment, and even force you to change the script.Money is the uncle!
But since it was Xu Changpei who found him, it shouldn't be too much.
Thinking of this, Qi Jiuzhou looked at Li Youning again.
Like Qi Jiuzhou, Qi Su was secretly observing Li Youning at this time.
The high-end suits are tailored to outline the figure, and the facial features complement each other on a healthy complexion.From the tie, cufflinks and various details, it can be seen that he is a man of great taste and definitely not short of money.His expression at this moment is serious and serious, with the solemnity, calmness and self-confidence unique to a man with a successful career.
He was talking with Qi Jiuzhou battlefield as if they were confronting each other.
This made Qi Su look sideways.
Before this, Li Youning had always given him an unreliable and emotional feeling, he could write some love poems, and his handwriting was good, but his behavior was very dissolute, a rich and handsome idiot.
Now it seems that he may have misjudged Li Youning.
The atmosphere between Qi Jiuzhou and Li Youning is not good, because both of them are a bit aggressive.
Qi Jiuzhou presented Li Youning one after another with exquisite ideas and a bright future at the box office, his production investment, his actor's salary investment, and where he will film the scene, and what famous behind-the-scenes workers he invited.
Li Youning was dissatisfied, he was calm and sensitive, and was not tempted by Qi Jiuzhou.He asked Qi Jiuzhou what measures to save money, why the audience is willing to spend money to watch this movie, and whether the casting of the movie is attractive.
The two of you come and go, it's a serious negotiation.
A negotiating table can be big or small, dispensable.Some people are fighting with each other on the top, and their ass is peeing.Someone was downcast on it, with a muddy complexion.There were also people who lashed out at Fang Qiu, chatting and laughing happily.
Self-respecting and confident men are attractive.
The man with elegant posture and eyes like tigers and leopards is eye-catching.
"Although I haven't read the script, it can be seen from your description that this is a low-budget film. If you can invite Sister Xu, I am willing to vote for any amount. But the problem is that you don't have any heavyweight actors to dominate the scene. Even if it's Qi Su..." Li Youning paused when he said this, "Qi Su is a newcomer, and you know it."
When Qi Jiuzhou heard the words, he immediately looked at Xu Changpei with resentment, his eyes seemed to say, if you agree, things will be easier?
Xu Changpei quickly took a cup and turned away, pretending not to know anything.
Qi Jiuzhou was helpless, "Can't I myself be the heavyweight in the field?"
Li Youning said: "Director Qi naturally counts, but..."
"but what."
"However, you are not considered a national." To put it bluntly, it is that the fame has not yet spread, and as soon as you are printed on the poster with your famous Kyushu name, people flock in to see it.
"Mr. Li's request is too strict." When Qi Jiuzhou was retreating steadily, Qi Su spoke to save the situation: "Films that are [-]% profitable and risk-free are not investments, they are called money laundering."
"Director Qi has made five films since his career. Only Virgo has not been released in China due to the subject matter, and the box office is not clear. The box office results of the other four are getting better and better. "Sweet Mountain" has a total investment of 900 million, and the final box office 3000 million. "Du Fei's Imagination" has a total investment of 2000 million, and the final box office is 500 million. "Breakup Diary" has a total investment of 3000 million, and the final box office is 8000 million. And the recent "Jungle Survival" has a total investment of 9000 million, At present, the box office has reached [-] million, and I believe it will not be difficult to break the [-]rd mark. Director Qi's ability is obvious to all, and he has never disappointed investors."
Qi Su took out a white book from his backpack and handed it to Li Youning.
"This is the script of "Dream Lover". If Mr. Li can take the time to read it, I believe you will like this story."
Qi Jiuzhou looked at Qi Su in surprise, he didn't expect him to be so well prepared.You know, he didn't even carry the script with him.
Li Youning pursed her lips slightly, took the book, flipped it casually, and read it quickly.Soon, Li Youning raised his eyes in surprise.The dense notes written in the blank space in the notebook reveal that this is probably the one that Qi Su usually uses, and it is not specially prepared for him.Qi Su was not so confident.
Li Youning looked at those tiny characters, his eyes fluttered a little.
He coughed, put away the script book, and said to Qi Jiuzhou: "There may not be any results to discuss now. How about this, Director Qi, let's leave a contact information, and I will take the script back to read. I will seriously consider making an appointment again." You talk about it. Of course, this time will not be too long. What do you think?"
The object of these words was obviously Qi Jiuzhou, but Li Youning's peripheral vision was all on Qi Su.
Qi Su didn't say anything, just quietly waiting for Qi Jiuzhou's decision.
Qi Jiuzhou narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled: "Then I'll wait for Shao Li's call."
When going back, Qi Su was still in Qi Jiuzhou's car.Li Youning walked with them.The chartered car in the garage is indeed Li Youning's car.
Before getting into the car, Li Youning held the script in his hand and said to Qi Su: "I will read it carefully."
Qi Su looked at him for two seconds, then hooked the corner of his mouth: "Thank you."
Qi Jiuzhou was very puzzled, and asked Qi Su: "Are you familiar with each other?"
Qi Su shook his head: "It doesn't count either."
Qi Jiuzhou showed an expression of "I don't understand you young people", and then he seemed to suddenly think of something, and said excitedly: "We didn't know that we were going to meet investors before, how did you know to bring the script! And You actually know so much about my films. Hehe, I said you won't be my mifensi!"
Qi Su shook his head: "That script is my own. Director Qi remembers to give me another copy. As for the film data, I wrote it down by the way when I checked the information before. I didn't expect it to be useful one day."
Qi Jiuzhou scratched his face in embarrassment: "Shun...By the way, ahaha, that's it." Then he muttered softly: "Who would memorize these useless numbers for so long by the way."
"Director Qi, what did you say?"
Qi Jiuzhou hurriedly chattered: "(⊙⊙)? No, it's nothing. I said you are so clever, yes, I praise you."
"Oh, I should thank you then."
Qi Jiuzhou's mouth dropped, no matter how he heard it, he felt that Qi Su's words were so creepy!
Qi Jiuzhou rolled his eyes: "Am I not a handsome guy? [Please search for updates soon]"
Xu Changpei curled his lips: "You have more wrinkles on your face than the young handsome guy."
Qi Jiuzhou stared round his eyes angrily: "Did you talk like that! Hurt friends!" Then he patted Qi Su on the shoulder, with a malicious expression on his face: "See, this is what happens when you make friends carelessly."
Qi Su smiled, but remained silent.
Xu Changpei smiled and slapped his hands: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, you just don't like teasing." Then he turned his gaze to Qi Su: "This is Qi Su, I've been looking forward to meeting you Woolen cloth."

However, Xu Changpei's character is indeed beyond Qi Su's expectations, and Qi Jiuzhou's close relationship with Xu Changpei is another piece of news that has not been exposed.
Xu Changpei placed Qi Jiuzhou and Qi Su on the sofa.
Li Youning, who had been standing aside hesitating to speak, was moved to her side by her, while Qi Su and Qi Jiuzhou sat on the sofa that Li Youning had just sat on.
The servants brought tea and snacks.
