Five hundred and fiftieth chapters greedy petty gain
Before going to the restaurant area in the evening, Liu Jinpeng told the news that Wan Yichen was treating him. As expected, no one was willing to go. Liu Jinpeng must not go alone, so he had to threaten: "If you don't speak, then I'll just close my eyes and pick it?"
Liu Mei immediately sold Li Xiwen: "Boss, just go, boss, no one will go if you go." She muttered in her heart, "This boss is not that easy to be like this, you should block the gun hole.
Ye Ling immediately supported Liu Mei's statement: "Yes, only the boss can shock the evildoers at this time."
When Zhang Yu saw that he could no longer remain silent, he had to follow the sentence: "Well, Mr. Wan is the eldest son's relative. When he saw the eldest son, he must be honest."
Meihua was eager to say something, but Meiling immediately covered her mouth. Li Xiwen looked left and right and nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, you guys betray me, I admit it."
So they divided the troops into two groups. Liu Jinpeng, Li Xiwen and Lin Lin went to the Western Restaurant for a banquet, while the others went straight to the Chinese restaurant. When they reached the fork, Meiling and Meihua waved their hands obediently and shouted, "Goodbye brother."
Wan Yichen's preparations were not that big. After being kidnapped once, it seemed that he had become much more restrained. The Western restaurant just cleared a corner against the railing and set up four tables. According to two to three people per table, there were only twelve people at most for dinner this time. It seemed that there were too few idle people waiting.
Wan Yichen was already waiting here, with Zeng Laosi sitting next to him, both of whom were empty. Seeing Liu Jinpeng and Li Xiwen coming in, Wan Yichen quickly stood up and waved. When they came over, they asked them to sit at the table next to them. Liu Jinpeng looked at the table on the table and found that there were only eight sets of tableware on the four tables, so he quickly called the waiter to add one to their table.
Seeing this, Wan Yichen glanced at Lin Lin standing next to him and quickly said to Liu Jinpeng: "Brother Peng, I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to bring you two here."
Liu Jinpeng did not laugh and corrected his statement and said, "This is my bodyguard. She is very responsible, but I can't let her see me eat. We are all concerned about people, right?"
"Yes, yes. That's right." Wan Yichen nodded repeatedly and kicked Zeng Laosi under the table.
Zeng Laosi jumped up as if he was shocked and shouted to the waiter: "Do you have any wise and price? I'll ask you to get a tableware for so long. There's still a chair missing here. Hurry up."
After the things were all set up, Liu Jinpeng asked Lin Lin to sit down and asked Wan Yichen again, "Who are there any other guests today?"
Wan Yichen looked at Li Xiwen and found that her cousin was very honest today. She sat quietly without saying a word, and she muttered a little in her heart. But he quickly replied: "I have done what you told me. I'll ask that old boy Wang Tianli to come over and apologize later."
"He is here to apologize? I don't want him to apologize?" Li Xiwen spoke with anger, and Liu Jinpeng immediately stopped talking, just in time, and she was allowed to play.
Wan Yichen blinked and thought that his cousin was so angry today, so he quickly explained: "I didn't ask Wang Tianli to have dinner here. After the apology, he asked him to get out. Director Hu and Director Tian from the Director Association will come here later. They are today's guests."
This is almost the same. If she had to have a meal with Wang Tianli, Li Xiwen would be able to leave immediately. Seeing that her face was a little clear, Wan Yichen dared to defend herself: "How can I be so blind? That kid is here to apologize. If I go to the table to eat, I would feel embarrassed."
Liu Jinpeng also took the opportunity to break the topic so as not to get froze: "What are you looking for Hu Dong and Tian Wen for? Do you want to film in the mainland again?"
Wan Yichen smiled and said, "The Los Angeles is almost done. The post-production is very smooth, so I can find a cinema soon. I want to hold a ceremony or something in the mainland. I don't want to use their reputation to support it."
This is reasonable. Li Xiwen doesn't like people in the entertainment industry, and her sense of the film and television industry is a little stronger. Liu Jinpeng also thinks that the entertainment industry is really messy. Those who really devote themselves to film and television technology are actually not so messy. For example, everyone in the circle knows that Tian Wen only likes to pursue art and attaches importance to family, and never uses unspoken rules. Some of the films he made are very popular and few people can understand. He is dedicated to pursuing artistic heights. Hu Dong is a few famous masterpieces, and then it is difficult to break through. He can only take some bad movies and has a bad reputation.
Hu Dong has liked to do big productions in recent years because it is difficult to make breakthroughs in art, so he can only maintain his reputation through this method. The first few big productions basically make money, and they make a lot of money, but the industry believes that they have no meaning and are just pure commercial films. But if he doesn't make such films, investors will not make money, and no one will invest money for him. Once no one invests money, he will gradually break away from the core circle, which is something that Hu Dong cannot accept.
Tian Wen's condition is slightly better. He has sold box office films and art films. Some of them have even been released because they cannot pass the review. However, the industry generally believes that Tian Wen's filming good films are all good films, but some focus on business, while others focus on art, and the box office is naturally high and low. It can be said that when making movies, Tian Wen is very smart, knows how to use techniques to innovate, and tells an ordinary story with great taste.
These two directors are both the core circle directors. The so-called core circle directors have great appeal. Whenever they say they are filming, someone will give them money. For industry insiders, participating in their crew is an honor, and some people would rather not have money than do things with the crew. This is the power of the core circle directors.
After sitting and chatting for a while, Hu Dong and Tian Wen came. They were alone, only Tian Wen brought his nephew Tian Hu. The new three people sat down and chatted for a while. Liu Jinpeng asked, "Who is there another one?"
Just as Wan Yichen was about to say it, Zeng Laosi shouted: "Here's here, it's Director Xu."
The last person who came here was not old, at least much younger than Hu Dong and Tian Wen, but he was also one of the directors in the core circle. He had worked as a drama actor, starred in several famous TV movies, and finally became a director himself. He even made several well-known and popular movies. As soon as he arrived, he bowed and said, "I'm so sorry, I've delayed something, so I'll let you wait for a long time. I'll punish myself for a cup of mine."
Director Xu is famous for his name Xu Zheng, and he has a small nose and small eyes, and he still has a big bald head, which looks very funny. He has also acted in comedy and filmed comedy before, so he is considered an old man in this industry. When he comes, he will be here. Before the formal banquet begins, Wan Yichen will give an introduction to the host.
He first introduced Li Xiwen and said, "This is my cousin, his surname is Li." Everyone here is a wise man, and no one knows Wan Yichen's identity. When he heard that his cousin's surname was Li, he immediately knew. He turned around slowly and understood. He all showed respectful smiles.
Wan Yichen introduced Liu Jinpeng and said, "This is my cousin's fiancé, Chairman Liu of Titanium Star Group." Titanium Star Group is a rich man. The robots they made are sold around the world and have bought them more or less at homes here. Of course, I knew it. They all said hello and met them. Maybe they could also advertise or something in the future.
The introduction to Lin Lin is much simpler. He only said that he was Dong Liu's bodyguard, but the bodyguard could also be served. Not only was he a beauty, but his fiancée didn't even express his objection, which surprised these directors. They all guessed that either Dong Liu had extraordinary skills and ate His Royal Highness the Princess tightly, or this bodyguard was actually the inside line of His Royal Highness the Princess.
Wan Yichen next introduced the three directors and talked about their proud films. The three of them were humble for a while. Finally, Wan Yichen said: "Zeng Tao, Zeng Hu, and I are all acquaintances. We already know each other, so we won't introduce them."
Tian Hu also took the opportunity to say, "Yes, Liu's fishing skills are really awesome. I just saw them yesterday."
Tian Wen glanced at Tian Hu and secretly blamed his nephew for not reminding him earlier, but Tian Hu was still a little confused. Wan Yichen laughed dryly and said to the waiter next to him: "Take that person over there."
That person was Wang Tianli. This guy stood alone at the stairs, shrank his head and looked pitiful. He was so scared that he had just received the information sent by the fat man in the afternoon. After a long time, there was His Highness the eldest princess among the women. When Wan Yichen came to the door, he immediately cried bitterly and expressed his willingness to change his mind and become a new person. In order to satisfy Wan Yichen, Wang Tianli paid a lot of money. Seeing that he was quite "sincere", Wan Yichen arranged for him to apologize during dinner.
At this moment, Wang Tianli shrank over and took a secret glance, and found that Li Xiwen was still frosty, and her heart was shocked. However, after this, she could not escape, so she could only apologize with her teeth. She said a lot, but Li Xiwen still didn't say anything.
Tian Wen was brave and asked Wan Yichen: "What's going on?" The other two great directors were also very curious, and they both held their ears.
Wan Yichen said the matter with a wry smile. He regretted it a little. He shouldn't have been greedy for Wang Tianli's benefits. It seems that my cousin doesn't want to forgive him. After hearing the incident, the three directors felt that Wang Tianli must have done a lot of such things before, and this time he was considered unlucky. The directors knew the tricks of this beauty pageant, but no one wanted to break it on his own initiative.
Liu Jinpeng saw that the guy talked for a long time and still didn't speak, so he said, "Mr. Wang, you don't seem to have any sincerity?"
In fact, Wang Tianli has been a little grateful to Liu Jinpeng since he knew Li Xiwen's identity. If he hadn't stopped the fat man's behavior, he might have caused a big disaster. At this moment, he didn't remember that he was instructing him and threw all the blame on the fat man.
Wang Tianli knew that Li Xiwen definitely didn't care about her compensation, and she would not be able to pass the test without being embarrassed today. She gritted her teeth and took a step back and kowtowed, scolding herself while kowtowing. Li Xiwen felt why this person was so disgusting, and she was actually spineless, and she didn't want to pay attention to it anymore.
Liu Jinpeng didn't want to mess up the atmosphere of the banquet because of Wang Tianli's affairs. He saw that he kowtowed for about ten minutes before saying, "Okay, don't do this, we won't care about it this time. I hope you don't do such things again in the future." After saying that, he felt strange. Could it be that these arrangements were done by Wan Yichen, otherwise why would he have to wait until the guests arrived before bringing this bastard here?
Wang Tianli was so grateful to Liu Jinpeng that he promised not to make mistakes in the future. After apologizing again, he retreated at Wan Yichen's instructions. When he left, Wan Yichen breathed a sigh of relief and secretly reminded himself that he must not be greedy for small gains next time.
