“Since we are toasting little brother Su Mu, what is the word for using tea?”
Chen Kai spoke up and said to Chen Yufei, a young man standing at the side, “Xiaofei, go to the underground wine cellar and bring out my bottle of 5104.”
Chen Yufei’s mouth opened wide, doubting that his ears had heard wrong.
Feng Gang was also shocked and said tentatively, “Old Chen, is the 5104 you’re talking about the Moutai wine you bought at the auction in ’12 for 5.06 million, number 5104?”
“Hey, it’s that bottle.” Chen Kai nodded his head.
The air in the living room seemed to freeze.
Li Lian, in particular, had the corners of his mouth twitching.
When he heard that Chen Kai had bought 5104 in 12 years, he took a plane overnight to come to the capital, wanting to taste 5104.
However, Chen Kai refused to give him even a drop to taste.
Now, for the sake of Su Mu, Chen Kai was actually going to take out a whole bottle of 5104!
“What exactly is the origin of this Su Mu?” Remember the website http:// novelcone. com
Li Lian’s heart and soul trembled as he realized that he might still have underestimated Su Mu’s identity.
The other bigwigs were the same, they felt that they had been friendly enough to Su Mu, but now it seemed that it was still not enough.
Perhaps, they should not only be warm to Su Mu, but even be respectful to Su Mu ……!
At the wine table, a group of bigwigs were sitting on pins and needles, only hoping that this party would end quickly and then privately ask Chen Kai what Su Mu’s identity was.
They were afraid that where they had spoken inappropriately, they had offended Su Mu.
Just when the party was almost over, Chen Kai received a phone call.
“In time, another friend is coming.” Chen Kai laughed.
“Who is it?” The bigwigs asked, holding back their irritation.
“Guo Fan.” Chen Kai said.
It didn’t take long.
Guo Fan arrived.
“Sorry sorry sorry, I’m late.”
Guo Fan apologized as soon as he entered, picked up his wine and started drinking.
“You should drink less.”
Chen Kai had a pang of flesh pain.
“This wine ……”
Guo Fan smashed his mouth, recalling the taste, and stared at the gla*s suspiciously, “It’s not that bottle of 5104, is it?”
“It’s 5104,” Feng Gang said, “or else Old Chen would be so distressed?”
“That’s not right.” Guo Fan was puzzled, “Why did Old Chen have to take out 5104?”
Chen Kai gave Guo Fan a blank look, “It’s because little brother Su Mu is here.”
Su Mu?
Only then did Guo Fan drop his gaze to Su Mu.
He actually saw Su Mu as soon as he entered, but he thought that Su Mu was just a friend of Chen Yufei and not a major figure, so he didn’t even linger on Su Mu for more than a second.
But from what Chen Kai said, it seemed that Su Mu was not only one of the main characters today, but also the only protagonist today?
Guo Fan was a bit confused.
How did a young kid in his early twenties become the protagonist of this party?
“Hello, Director Guo.”
Su Mu didn’t actually know any directors, but he knew Guo Fan, because a film he liked very much, ‘The Table’, was directed by Guo Fan.
“Hello hello.”
Although he was confused, but seeing Su Mu take the initiative to extend his hand, Guo Fan was not the least bit slow and hurriedly shook Su Mu’s hand.
Just kidding, how could he dare to mess with someone who could make Chen Kai, an unruly old man, treat him respectfully?
After three rounds of wine, Guo Fan looked like he wanted to say something but stopped.
“Director Guo, what’s wrong?” Su Mu was curious.
“I ……” Guo Fan said embarra*sedly, “I came over today to actually ask Lao Chen for help.”
Su Mu immediately understood.
The reason why there were so many bigwigs here today was all because Chen Kai had set up a bureau to help Guo Fan.
“Brother Su, do you mind listening to what I have to say?” Guo Fan asked tentatively.
If there was no Su Mu, then he could speak about things naturally, but with Su Mu present, he would have to consider Su Mu
s feelings.
“Of course I don’t mind.”
Su Mu said, being able to get close to the top bigwigs in the film circle was something that would be of great benefit to his future.
“That’s good.”
Guo Fan was relieved: “I’m here today mainly because I recently wanted to make a movie called ‘Wandering Our Earth’, which is …… a science fiction theme.”
Originally, Feng Gang and other bigwigs still looked interested, but when they heard Guo Fan say that it was a science fiction theme, they immediately frowned.
As we all know, the film circle in Long Guo is not cultivating the soil for science fiction films.
It’s not as if no one had tried to fill the gap in science fiction films in Dragonland before.
But the result was that they flopped at the box office and couldn’t even recover their capital.
As time went by, no one tried to make science fiction films anymore.
Because everyone thinks that making science fiction films is the same as losing money!
“Old Guo, it’s better to forget about science fiction.”
Chen Kai hesitated for a long time, but eventually shook his head.
He only knew that Guo Fan had asked for his help for a new movie, but he didn’t know that Guo Fan actually wanted to try the sci-fi genre this time.
“Why is it that foreigners can make excellent science fiction films, but we in Dragonland can’t?”
Guo Fan gritted his teeth, his eyes firm: “In recent years, every time a foreign sci-fi blockbuster landed in Dragonland, our local film market would take a big hit.”
“Do we have to endure this onslaught again and again?”
“Why can’t we fight back and let the people of our country know that we can make excellent sci-fi films ourselves.”
“Let the world know that the film scene in Dragonland, too, is progressing!”
Chen Kai, Jiang Wenwen, Feng Gang and other directors looked at each other, all sighed softly, lowered their heads and stopped talking.
“I …… get it.”
Guo Fan looked despondent: “People have their own wishes, I won’t force them. However, I won’t give up on this, I will go and pull in investments.”
Guo Fan put down his gla*s and turned around to leave.
“Wait.”
Chen Kai shouted, “Old Guo, how much investment do you want.”
Guo Fan’s eyes lit up, “About three hundred million.”
“Three hundred million!?”
Chen Kai’s heart and liver were trembling.
One had to know that a theatrical movie was not the same as an online movie.
A theatrical movie, if you want to make back your money, you need at least three times the investment at the box office!
For Guo Fan to invest 300 million in this film, he would need 900 million at the box office to make his money back.
900 million at the box office?
The box office of all of Dragon Kingdom’s past science fiction films combined were nowhere near that much.
“Old Guo, I …… will invest up to ten million in you.”
Chen Kai said through clenched teeth.
He said this purely because of the friendship between him and Guo Fan.
As for this 10 million to recover the capital or even make money? He didn’t even dare to think about it!
“Thanks.”
Guo Fan let out a bitter smile, ten million dollars? A drop in the bucket!
“I’m off, you guys have fun.”
Guo Fan waved his hand despondently.
“Director Guo, can I take a look at your script, the film shooting plan and your goals regarding the final effect of the film?”
Suddenly, a young voice rang out.
Guo Fan turned his head back and saw that the person speaking was Su Mu, and couldn’t help but stare.
“When, of course!”
Guo Fan was overjoyed, if Su Mu could invest part of it, then it would be possible for Wandering Our Earth to be filmed.
Guo Fan took out a USB stick and pulled out the relevant information and placed it in front of Su Mu.
“Brother Su, take your time to read it, and ask me if there is anything you don’t understand.”
Guo Fan nervously wrung his hands.
“Okay.”
Su Mu nodded his head and began to concentrate on it.
