Mermaid Actor [Rebirth]
Chapter 74
After all, Willie Clayton didn't make him wait too long, but what Lin Chuxi had to face at this time was the expiration of the contract between the brokerage company and him.
As for Meng Qidong, as expected of Ms. Juli's son, he really put his mind to work and quickly mastered how to control the operation of the company. In the past six months, Ms. Juli gradually began to hand over her rights to Meng Qidong.The company does not have many shareholders. At the beginning of its establishment, nearly 70.00% of the shares belonged to Ms. Juli. Now she has transferred the shares to Meng Qidong. Under the absolutely advantageous shareholding, the objections are just some small splashes.
Lin Chuxi has been worrying a lot recently, and she hasn't seen Meng Qidong for a long time.Since their relationship was disclosed at Zhao Jinghe's wedding, the media has become more and more fond of discussing them together.The Meng family is very powerful in both Los Angeles and New York, not to mention that Ms. Juli's natal family is a Hong Kong shipping tycoon. In terms of money, she will never lose to the wealthy families in the Upper East Side.But at the beginning, Meng Qidong broke all kinds of broken jars, which made people very angry.Although at that time everyone thought that Meng Qidong died in the shipwreck, and Ms. Juli could not bear another child, so she took Mr. Richard's illegitimate son home, but there were still some complaints about Meng Qidong's failure to live up to expectations.The current situation is probably what everyone expects.As long as Meng Qidong's younger brother is not so greedy, Meng Qidong is more or less willing to accommodate him.But Lin Chuxi couldn't explain these things clearly, just like what Zhao Jinghe said, the most fickle thing in this world is the human heart.When it came time for Meng Qidong to fight his younger brother, he would probably be gone long ago, so he wouldn't be able to help.
When Meng Qidong came with a renewed contract, Lin Chuxi sat in his exclusive lounge in the company building and read the newspaper.The newspaper reported photos of him and Meng Qidong attending an event together a few days ago.This is the first time Meng Qidong has appeared in front of the public since he became a senior executive of the company, and he wears quite old-fashioned clothes, as if he doesn't want others to think he is frivolous anymore.Lin Chuxi had seen many kinds of Meng Qidong, but this time when he looked at the photos he took, it really felt like a world away.
Meng Qidong is also grown up, not a child anymore.
It's just that Meng Qidong came in with a serious face just a second ago.In the next second, the kid pulled off his tie, and sat in front of him bluffing, shouting that it's uncomfortable to be serious.Lin Chuxi shook her head inwardly, and gave Meng Qidong a blank look.
Meng Qidong explained that his purpose of coming was still related to the renewal of the contract.Lin Chuxi put the newspaper, but told him clearly that she would not renew the contract.Meng Qidong frowned.
"You don't mean to change jobs?"
"Job-hopping? Where do you want to go? Where else can you provide more comfortable conditions than here. Are you stupid looking at the documents?"
"Then how do you..."
Lin Chuxi did not speak, but glanced at Meng Qidong.Meng Qidong said in shock this time, "You, are you going back?!"
"Why so suddenly, you didn't tell me."
"Didn't I tell you now?"
Meng Qidong dared to be speechless for a moment, he could only respond with a grunt, and stared blankly at the contract document on the table.
"Have you decided when?" Meng Qidong hesitated and asked.
"Not so fast, at least we have to finish shooting Weili's film before leaving, otherwise he might blame me for the rest of his life." Lin Chuxi thought of something and smiled.After finishing speaking, he suppressed his smile, put on a serious expression, and said to Meng Qidong: "Are you interested in investing in Willy Clayton's new film? I mean you, not the company."
"Myself?"
Lin Chuxi took out a cigarette from his pocket, but he didn't light it either.Meng Qidong was shocked again.
"You actually started smoking."
"I don't smoke much, just smell the tobacco. Don't tell anyone, especially him."
Meng Qidong knew who Lin Chuxi was talking about, but both Zhao Jinghe and Lin Chuxi were married, and Lin Chuxi was going back to the sea again, so why didn't they break up completely?
"Do you still have contact with him?"
Hearing this, Lin Chuxi cast a glance at Meng Qidong, and said angrily, "You know what a fart." That old monster forced me to return to the sea in such a panic, and you still ask me if I still have contacts with him?After he dies, we probably still have to communicate for hundreds of years.
Meng Qidong choked for a moment, wondering what made Lin Chuxi unhappy again.
"How about it, think about it."
"Well, you know, even if I want to invest, I don't have that much spare money in my hand. Didn't there be news that Lawrence was fully invested in it a while ago, why now it seems that you are raising funds yourself."
Lin Chuxi pulled out the cigarette from his mouth, pretended to have smoke in his mouth and then exhaled, he said flatly: "Push, we want to do it ourselves."
"How close are you?"
Lin Chuxi narrowed her eyes, thought for a while, and said, "5000 million."
Meng Qidong sighed, and said with a helpless smile, "You want me to throw all my wealth into it."
"I'm not forcing you. Investment is always risky. I've filled in all the money I've earned over the years."
Meng Qidong opened his mouth wide, "The money you've saved over the years is at least hundreds of millions, yet it still can't satisfy Willie Clayton's appetite? If the box office doesn't hit, you'll lose everything."
"What do I want that money for? I have to go back. Throwing it into the sea is the same as throwing it into a movie, it's no different. If you lose, it's mine, and if you win, I'll give it to you." Lin Chuxi said or , and put the cigarette in his mouth again.
Meng Qidong said, "Okay, anyway, the money can be earned back after spending it, I will never do what you say."
"Have time to play in the sea?"
"Ha...ha, goodbye, if there is another shipwreck, I may really spend my whole life at the bottom of the sea with you."
Lin Chuxi smiled and chased Meng Qidong away.
"Hey, you..." Meng Qidong shook his head as he walked out.
After Meng Qidong left, Lin Chuxi called Willie Clayton and told him that the money was settled, but also let him save some money.Willie Clayton hurriedly made a promise on the other end of the phone, and almost dragged Lin Chuxi to the church to swear.
Lin Chuxi somewhat knew Willie Clayton's embarrassment. After all, he asked Lin Chuxi for so much money as soon as he opened his mouth. Even his friends were not so cheeky.Reluctantly, he had nothing to do with himself, and rejected the big producer. He wanted to produce independently, so he had to go back to the time when he was filming "Arnold's Dancing Shoes" many years ago.
It's just that the money is in place, but the startup is not so smooth.
Previously, Lin Chuxi stopped the contract with his old club and did not renew it. As soon as the news came out, everyone was ready to move.Rumors began to spread outside again, saying that Lin Chuxi and Meng Qidong were at odds, that's why they didn't renew the contract after Meng Qidong became a senior executive of the company, in order to prevent Meng Qidong from suppressing him in the future.Then it got into the so-called family property battle, and Lin Chuxi robbed Meng Qidong's girlfriend. In short, there were all kinds of weird rhetoric, and they tried their best to make Lin Chuxi make headlines and make the onlookers think that his status was in jeopardy.It was only later that it was reported that many brokerage companies and gold medal brokerage studios proposed sky-high contracts to Lin Chuxi, hoping to take this thriving cash cow under their banner.
Willie Clayton was blocked from collecting actors, and he was also very helpless. Some scripts were sent to others and they were not very satisfied and rejected them. Some liked them very much but had no luck with the schedule. Some had schedules but hated the roles they played. Even if there was no challenge, Willie Clayton ran around, looking for suitable people from the Screen Actors Union, and the double chin that had been raised at home soon disappeared.
Willie Clayton often called him to complain, but Lin Chuxi scolded him for being worthless and tired of finding an actor, so he just stopped filming.As soon as Willie Clayton was scolded, he cheered up again.Sometimes Lin Chuxi thought that Willie Clayton and Meng Qidong were really the same kind of person, and they didn't know the pain until they whipped hard.
Over there, the Cannes Film Festival was grandly opened at the end of autumn. As the leading role of "Rimbaud", Lin Chuxi went to France with the crew to walk the red carpet. As the opening film of the Cannes Film Festival, "Rimbaud" is very appropriate, because this year is the bicentenary of Rimbaud's birth.
Since his debut, Lin Chuxi has walked countless red carpets and received many nominations for awards, but he has never been on the podium once. He can shoot literary and commercial films, but he is still young and attractive I think it's better to wait.Now he watched the premiere of "Rimbaud" with the crowd and knew he couldn't wait.
It was the first time for him to watch a feature film after the film was finished. One advantage of this kind of realistic film is that it feels very strong when filming. It does not require a lot of post-production compared with those sci-fi and fantasy blockbusters, and the scene will be more refreshing.Looking back now and watching the movie again, the feeling will be very different from when I performed it myself.When you are filming, you are experiencing the life of the character, but when watching the film, you are guessing from the perspective of others.Lin Chuxi was asked before why she was so obsessed with acting, how did Lin Chuxi answer at that time, oh, he replied, because he wanted to live someone else's life.Unexpectedly, this sentence later became a prophecy. He died, turned into a fish, lived the life of a fish, and then returned to land and lived the life of Meng Qidong's cousin.He has indeed been living the lives of "others" for decades.
When the movie was playing, Lin Chuxi was in a trance, and before she even had time to look at the beautiful light and shadow images, she was told that the movie was about to end. Lin Chuxi only had time to watch the ending, which he was very familiar with, because it was filmed Passed it many times.
Rimbaud with a face full of vicissitudes stands in front of the train from Paris to Berlin, his facial features are still sharp and beautiful, and his profile in the sun is impeccable.He glanced back at Paris with deep eyes, making it hard to see black and white, and then boarded the train without hesitation.The camera turns and turns amidst the whistle of the steam train, turns to the blue sky, and then turns to Paris. Paris, where the cars and horses flow, seems to be echoing with the gunshot that sent Verlaine to prison, and then gradually falls into silence, submerged in the Among the noise of carriages and cars.
At the end of the movie, many people stood up and applauded, and some turned around and hugged Lin Chuxi.He seems to have been expected.However, in the end, it was still just to sit with him.The best movie star fell to his house, and he actually had a feeling that it didn't happen.
Willie Clayton called him to be sarcastic and congratulate him on another loss.Lin Chuxi was so angry that she immediately hung up the phone, and then Willie Clayton finally coaxed him, and told him that the cast was finally found, and "Escape from Campus" could start!
