The perfect future of rebirth

Chapter 1408 Jiang Wen's Predicament

Many people define love as a certain behavior that can be explained by psychology, but in Zhao Fusheng's view, this is actually a wrong statement.

In a sense, love is metaphysics, not science.

Some people like someone for a lifetime, and the other person may not even pay you a glance, but some people will fall in love instantly even if they only meet once.

This is the difference between men and women.

"Men socialize by teasing each other, but they don't mean it. Women socialize by complimenting each other, but they don't mean it either."

Lying on the soft sofa at home, Zhao Fusheng said to Lao Jiang who was drinking at the dining table.

Fan Baobao was not at home, and "Latent" officially started filming. As the heroine, she naturally had to follow the crew all the time. At least before New Year's Day, Zhao Fusheng had no chance to spend time with his wife.

Fortunately, both of them are open-minded, and their usual text messages and phone calls are not that exaggerated.

Fan Beibei was sent to Jiang Wen's house. Zhou Yun herself was idle at home anyway, and there was a nanny at home, so it was nothing to have an extra Fan Beibei.

Of course, when Zhao Fusheng returned to China, he naturally had to bring the little girl back.

"You are right." Jiang Wen held the wine glass, raised his head and took a big sip, and then said to Zhao Fusheng: "In fact, people are like this. They always like to say insincere things, and do things that are in the face. .”

Zhao Fusheng laughed, shook his head, and didn't answer Jiang Wen's words. He actually understood that Lao Jiang came to him today to complain.

The filming of "The Sun Also Rises" didn't go well. Jiang Wen spent a lot of money. The original investment of 3000 million was for him to shoot two episodes, but this guy is really good. The first one hasn't been finished yet. Half of the money was spent!

That's right, it's spent!

Jiang Wen has always exceeded the budget when making movies, but this time, this guy obviously played too big, and the investors who cheated him wanted to cry without tears. Played.

Don't look at Future Film and Television just reached a cooperation agreement with Huayi, but the problem is, whoever it is, it is impossible to let Lao Jiang continue to deceive people like this.

It was all real money, tens of millions of investment, and it was spent in just over three months. Wang Zhongjun had no intention of killing Jiang Wen.

As a result, the crew of "The Sun Also Rises" temporarily suspended work, Jiang Wen had no choice but to return to the capital to raise investment.

Yes, classmate Jiang Wen came to Zhao Fusheng to attract investment.

Among the people he knew, only Zhao Fusheng was the richest. After thinking about it, Jiang Wen had no choice but to come to Zhao Fusheng.

"To be honest, I'm not optimistic about your new film." By now, Zhao Fusheng also knew Jiang Wen's intentions, so he didn't go around in circles. However, with the current general environment and your own problems, I don’t think the box office of this drama will be very good.”

Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhao Fusheng to be so outspoken.

Looking at Jiang Wen's appearance, it was obvious that he was not convinced. Zhao Fusheng shrugged helplessly, and continued: "My personal suggestion, you can go to Hong Kong Island to try, maybe someone will be willing to invest in your play."

Blinking his eyes, Jiang Wen glanced at Zhao Fusheng inexplicably, obviously he didn't quite understand Zhao Fusheng's words.

Zhao Fusheng sighed and shook his head helplessly.

He couldn't tell Jiang Wen that in the mainland, before those stupid coal bosses entered the market, there was no one to cheat him for the time being. If he wanted to cheat people, he could only choose to go to the Wanwan side of Hong Kong Island.

On Hong Kong Island, there are many people who have been cheated by Sunglass Wang. It is estimated that this time, they will also be fooled by Lao Jiang.

Zhao Fusheng really wanted to see if Yang Shoucheng would be cheated of more than 1000 million Hong Kong dollars by Jiang Wen inhumanely as he remembered.

Speaking of this matter, Zhao Fusheng has to admit that although Yang Shoucheng is not a good character, he does have unique features in his business investment vision.

Although "The Sun Also Rises" Lao Jiang cheated him more than 1000 million, but "Let the Bullets Fly" a few years later, he made a lot of money.

Sometimes we have to admit that burning a cold stove can indeed bring great benefits.

Of course, the premise is that the cold stove you burn must have investment value.

"Hong Kong Island?"

After Jiang Wen for a while, he looked at Zhao Fusheng hesitantly and said, "Do you think the people over there will like my style?"

Obviously, Old Jiang himself didn't have much confidence.

Zhao Fusheng smiled: "Don't worry, now there are a lot of investors in Hong Kong Island who want to enter the mainland entertainment market. With a famous brand like you, the company does not restrict you to cooperate with them. These people are happy to invest money in you. I'm curious, do they know that you guys have a fine tradition of always losing money and winning awards when making movies."

Hearing Zhao Fusheng's words, Jiang Wen was speechless for a moment...

Although he really didn't want to admit what Zhao Fusheng said, but the facts were in front of him. Up to now, although he had won a lot of awards for the movies he made, he hadn't really made any money.

Of course, those were all literary and commercial films, Jiang Wen felt that he still made some money.

Uh, no, those commercial films that I made money were all filmed with the help of Zhao Fusheng, no matter if it was "A Day Trip to Dream" or "A World Without Thieves", in the final analysis, Zhao Fusheng specially asked himself to participate in the filming .

In other words, without Zhao Fusheng's help, I would really be a literary film director who only wins awards but doesn't make money.

The discovery of this fact made Jiang Wen feel even more depressed. With a sigh, he silently poured another glass of wine into the glass in front of him, and continued to drink sullenly.

Seeing Lao Jiang's appearance, Zhao Fusheng was also very helpless, but he had no better way.

Zhao Fusheng is not the Holy Mother. Although he knows that Jiang Wen is very distressed now, Zhao Fusheng can't do it if he is asked to pay Jiang Wen more than 1000 million or more to make a movie that is destined to hit the box office.

This is the truth, because after all, Zhao Fusheng knows how bad Jiang Wen's movies are, and the two are friends. If it is a problem in Jiang Wen's life, Zhao Fusheng can help him without hesitation, and he won't even have any other ideas .But the problem is, this is filming, not living.

If a person does not separate work and life, he will suffer sooner or later.

After a long time, Old Jiang raised his head, looked at Zhao Fusheng, and said, "I have always felt that I can integrate business and art together."

Zhao Fusheng nodded: "You can, but not now."

Jiang Wen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect Zhao Fusheng to say that.

You know, although Zhao Fusheng didn't say it explicitly, Jiang Wen could feel that in Zhao Fusheng's eyes, he didn't like the movies he made.

Or to be more precise, Zhao Fusheng is not optimistic about the path he is taking now.

But now, he actually said that, which made Jiang Wen a little surprised.

"Why, do you find it strange?" Zhao Fusheng glanced at Jiang Wen and asked.

Jiang Wen nodded: "Yeah, I thought, you would think that I would never be able to make a movie with a high box office."

Zhao Fusheng laughed and shrugged: "You are a good director, you can tell a story, and you have the ability to tell a good story. But the problem is that the current movie market is not the right time for you. It's not that the audience is not good, but Because of the general environment, not many people understand what you want to express."

Jiang Wen frowned. Obviously, he didn't understand what Zhao Fusheng said, but he could hear that Zhao Fusheng seemed to be really optimistic about his future.

Zhao Fusheng stood up, walked to Jiang Wen's side, patted his shoulder, but said nothing.

Some things take time to prove.

In the end, Jiang Wen went to Hong Kong Island.
