Chapter 435 433. The dining table of the superior
Roosevelt on the third floor.
When he came to the room, Xu Xin saw Qian Pengcheng and Nazha who stood up and nodded respectfully.
The other person is a no see.
But it doesn't matter.
There are few people, and there is one advantage of being acquaintances, that is, to avoid all the trouble of being polite.
Everyone sat down and chatted in a familiar way.
After taking the teacup handed over by Nazha, Xu Xin nodded to the little girl who was still in a business outfit, as a greeting. Then I heard Xue Haifeng say to Qian Pengcheng:
"Boss Qian will have a drink with Director Xu soon."
All the people present were smart people, although Xue Haifeng didn’t mention “it’s done” or “what’s the result”.
But as a middleman, since he let the two of them clink glasses, it means that the matter has been discussed at least from his side, and there is a suitable and stable solution.
Qian Pengcheng beamed with joy.
And Xu Xin didn't try to speculate whether the two would talk about some things in private, such as "What kind of apology should Xu Xin give if he is really angry" or "How should we deal with it if he is really angry"...
Not necessary.
It seems a bit petty like that.
Therefore, Xu Xin also nodded and said with a smile:
"It's two more drinks. Last time I was busy outside for a day, but I got drunk after a few glasses of wine. I didn't enjoy drinking. But I have to eat something first... I'm busy in Yichang. One day, hungry chests sticking to their backs...wouldn't there be a little less people?"
"Others have problems, but we can save this meal, and let them make up for it when we meet them next time. Haha~"
After Xue Haifeng finished speaking, Xu Xin and Qian Pengcheng both laughed.
…
next door.
Yu Zheng looked down at the time on his watch, and found that it was past 5 o'clock, so he couldn't help but look up at the middle-aged man who was sitting on the sofa next to him and fiddled with his mobile phone.
A faint dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.
His room is not big, if calculated in terms of square meters, it is less than twenty square meters.
Except for a bathroom that is also not too big, there is only one LCD TV that is not too big in the whole room, and the single sofa that includes him and the middle-aged man.
and the long coffee table in the middle of the house.
Then there is a bookshelf at the door, on which there are some magazines and books.
Objectively speaking, compared with Xue Haifeng's house overlooking the beautiful scenery of the Huangpu River, this house is no different from a single apartment.
This is the waiting room for drivers.
Specially prepared for drivers.
People who come by car, talk about things surrounded by delicious food, beautiful scenery and beautiful women next door.
Some things are inconvenient to take the driver, the driver is waiting in this room.
It can’t be said that the environment is too bad, but it must be the same as the next door.
Does Yu Zheng know that this is the driver's waiting room?
he knows.
Because he has been to Roosevelt.
And have been here more than once.
There are no fewer film and television investors in Shanghai than in Yanjing, and investors come to him to talk about things, or he wants to invite investors to dinner. Although this place is not a must, it is still frequented.
Talking about things in this place is reasonable and decent.
In the past, his driver sat in this kind of waiting room and waited for him to finish eating with others before seeing him off.
Ironically, today he is the one sitting here.
Dissatisfaction is certain.
But dare not say.
Because the middle-aged man in front of me who called me to sit here and wait today is Qian Pengcheng, the variety show marketing director of Tianyu.
Don't underestimate the category of "variety show marketing".
You must know that Tianyu itself started with "Super Girl" and "Fast Boy"... In other words, it is precisely because of these two variety shows that Tianyu is a company.
The company's initial foreign investment department was variety show marketing.
was their only outbound marketing department at the time.
Although today's entertainment has already divided into film and television drama investment, artist business, etc., they are all sub-departments from the marketing department.
He received a call from the driver named "Wu Qiang" at 3:00 p.m., telling him that Mr. Qian was here before 4:30 p.m., and he was quite happy.
Thinking that it should be to talk about the script.
But after arriving here in a hurry, Wu Qiang stopped him and poured a basin of cold water on him:
"Qian always asks you to wait here for him."
When Wu Qiang pointed to the waiting room, Yu Zheng's first reaction was how unreliable the driver was.
Send me to the waiting room where your driver is?
What international joke are you kidding.
But facing his absurdity, Wu Qiang pointed firmly at the waiting room:
"Let's go."
But when his driver wanted to follow him in, Wu Qiang simply refused to let him in.
"Go down and wait."
In one sentence, he sent his driver to the car in the underground garage.
Now, Yu Zheng had a bad feeling in his heart.
said to Wu Qiang:
"I'll give President Qian a call."
"Qian is always busy, just wait here. I will call you later."
These are Wu Qiang's original words.
But the tone carried a hint of warning.
It sounds a little nonsense at first glance, a driver dares to say this to him... not to mention that he is a big hit, but he is also a well-known screenwriter + producer.
Are you really not afraid of offending people?
But does Yu Zheng dare to offend Wu Qiang?
dare not.
It's the same reason as in ancient times, he didn't dare to offend the servants around the emperor.
He didn't know what happened. Since he came in, Wu Qiang was either reading magazines or playing with his mobile phone, but he didn't talk to him.
Even if he was approached by him or asked a question, he would always shake his head and not be able to explain clearly.
But that feeling of uneasiness is gradually increasing as time goes by.
this…
President Qian received the script and read it, and when he called himself, wasn’t he quite happy? But what happened?
While thinking about it, suddenly, the door of the waiting room was pushed open.
Xue Haifeng's driver Chen Dingxin walked in.
As soon as he came in, Wu Qiang stood up and shouted with a smile:
"Brother Chen."
Yu Zheng was taken aback...
Looking at Chen Dingxin, he smiled and nodded:
"Hmm. Are you hungry? Have you ordered something to eat?"
A warm appearance of a "host" entertaining a "guest".
Yu Zheng was taken aback again after seeing it.
Wu Qiang shook his head:
"No, Brother Chen is hungry? Shall I call the waiter over?"
"I'm not hungry either."
Chen Dingxin waved his hand and glanced at Yu Zheng again.
But his eyes are more subtle.
He is a driver, and one of the most basic principles is not to wear ears while driving, and not to use a mouth in private.
So even if you listened to the words of Director Xue and Director Xu, it was basically impossible to pry something out of his mouth.
But it doesn't prevent him from looking at you with a look... similar to "see your joke" or "let's see who is so bold".
Even if it's just a glance.
But Yu Zheng felt another thump in his heart.
This is…
What's wrong?
And his doubts became stronger after Wu Qiang poured Chen Dingxin a cup of tea and gave him a cigarette.
Is this person also a driver?
Whose driver?
Who is the driver with what status?
With the sneer of "you can't earn my money for the rest of your life" in his heart and that... for some reason, the sense of uneasiness grew stronger, and he felt that the sofa under his buttocks was becoming more and more difficult to make.
He is also a figure with a head and face after all.
Although I can't offend such a behemoth as Tianyu, I let myself stay in the same room with the driver...
These two drivers are still so virtuous...
Ah.
I don't know if it's for courage or what, he sneered in his heart.
OK.
Tianyu?
I remember.
You really think that you can cover the sky with one hand in the field of TV dramas, right? Um? Qian Pengcheng? You really think you are great, don't you...
It doesn't matter if you are bold or brave.
In the intense activity in Zheng's heart, time is passing by every minute.
until…
"Ding."
Wu Qiang's cell phone rang.
After taking a look, he turned his head and said to the witness:
"Qian is always looking for you, it's next door, you go in."
"..."
All thoughts are instantly suppressed.
"…OK."
Yu Zheng nodded, got up and walked out.
Opened the door, he looked at the waiters waiting at the door from left to right.
The waiter is also looking at him.
I don't know whether he wants to leave or push the door in.
But the hand was already on the door.
It can be used to prove the subconscious desire to smoke.
But he didn't dare to delay any time.
Today's meeting is so weird.
Mr. Qian looked for him and arranged him in the driver's waiting room. And there were only two drivers in the waiting room, one was Mr. Qian, and the other was... a driver who seemed to have a higher "status" than Mr. Qian.
What's going on here?
His heart began to beat violently. Surrounded by anxiety, he subconsciously turned around, and the direction was the double-open pure copper gate guarded by two waiters.
The professionalism of the well-trained waiters has been engraved in the heart. Seeing this "driver" turn around, his hands are even faster than his brain, and he has already pushed open the heavy door, trying to let people in.
Yu Zheng's mouth twitched...
He's not ready yet.
But now that the door has been opened, he can only bite the bullet and walk in with somewhat unnatural steps.
Outside, facing those young actors and even some directors, he is the boss of the company, the producer, the screenwriter, and the superior who is in charge of the lifeline of some actors and must be curried.
But tofu is ordered in brine, one thing is one thing.
His identities are basically not worth mentioning in front of President Qian.
Although he couldn't completely block his own way, as a link in the relationship between supply and demand, Tianyu, which has always been a big shop bully, wanted to get someone, so it was not too simple.
Even if they can't be omnipotent, they can block whoever they say they want to block. As the largest pan-entertainment TV platform in China at present, the success of any drama or an actor from them can only be achieved by other TV stations. The kind that none of the five films can surpass.
Offended Tianyu, he can only go to those small stations.
Satellite may not have the guts to cooperate with him.
Unless he can show some value.
So I have to be cautious, and it is impossible not to be cautious.
But the moment he walked into the room, his gaze was immediately attracted by a beautiful figure.
What a pretty girl...
Looking at Nazha who was walking towards him, he was a little lost.
It’s not that I fell in love with it just by looking at it.
But as the owner of a brokerage company, the moment he saw this girl's face, he had an intuition...
This girl is very suitable to be an actress.
Even if the acting skills are a bit bad, it’s okay.
As long as there are some suitable fixed roles, it is definitely not difficult to gain popularity and become a money-making tool with this face!
This girl...who is it?
He lost his mind, but Nazha, who received Director Xu's order to "bring people over", did not dare to show the slightest respect.
She dare not be respectful.
Because... this person offended Director Xu.
Even she knows and even heard the name "Yu Zheng".
But still dare not show any attitude beyond politeness.
In this banquet, although it is easy to be misunderstood by others... But she knows very well that the reason why she can appear here is because of the label of Director Xu.
she…
is the property of Director Xu.
Even if it is temporary, it still represents Director Xu's attitude.
So, the girl greeted him politely as she was told:
"Hi, Director Xu is looking for you."
If possible, she doesn't want to add the word "you".
I was afraid that Director Xu would not like it.
But after thinking about it, I think it still needs to be added.
After all... Director Xu is not afraid of offending him.
But on my side, in case...
Yu Zheng was taken aback when he heard this.
Director Xu?
Which Director Xu?
Because of the angle and the relationship between the chairs, he could only see a slightly fat middle-aged man in the main seat in front of the dining table deliberately imitating the British aristocrats in this room, and Qian Peng who was facing him with a lukewarm gaze. Procedure.
But there is indeed a third person.
The third has his back to him, hidden behind the high, ornate chair back.
Holding a knife and fork in his hand, he is facing a piece of... I don't know what kind of meat is feasting on it.
Can't see the front face clearly.
So, with doubts, he came to the position two steps behind the dining table under the guidance of Nazha.
The delicacies on the table couldn't make him have any desire to eat.
In Mr. Qian's lukewarm gaze and the narrowed eyes of the middle-aged man, his anxiety grew stronger and stronger.
At the same time, more and more wondering... what happened.
And... who is the person who took a knife and fork to break up a piece that looked tender and juicy, but the hemoglobin was particularly bright red?
So, he took another step forward.
It was this step that made him finally see who that person was.
Xu Xin! ? ? ?
Yang Mi's husband? ? ?
When he saw the profile of the man with his head down eating steak, Yu Zheng recognized it.
It is impossible for him not to know.
Whether it is from the aspect of movies, the Olympic Games, or the couple who have spread in the circle a few years ago, they acted as middlemen when they connected Yindu, Xiying, and Shanghai Film who were impossible to connect together. The "energy" that comes out...
The names of these two couples are enough for these people to treat them with caution.
After all... Not everyone can make Shanghai Film Studio, which has put "The Grandmaster" on the shelves, cancel the script, and continue to invest even knowing that it will lose money.
Who doesn't know that the purpose of Shanghai Film Studio is "investment"?
And knowing that you will lose money, you still have to do it...
No matter how these two couples did it, this ability alone is enough to make many people terrified.
How the **** did the two young people get such a big face?
Nishikage is fine.
Both Yindu and Shanghai Film Studio gave you face?
Both the Hong Kong and Shanghai circles have energy?
Everyone is guessing, and everyone's attitude towards these two couples is also very cautious.
So, he knew Xu Xin.
But the doubts in my heart also emerged.
This very beautiful girl said... he is looking for himself?
What are you looking for yourself for?
Just thinking about it, suddenly, I heard a voice:
"You are Yu Zheng?"
"..."
The words came from Xu Xin's mouth.
But he didn't look up, as if he was asking about the air.
He didn't even stop cutting the steak.
Every cut of the good steak meat by the table knife, dripping tender and juicy, but extremely bright red hemoglobin juice.
Dazzling red.
The red ones are also uncomfortable.
Yu Zheng's slow-witted silence aroused Qian Pengcheng's dissatisfaction.
The coldness in his eyes grew stronger.
At this moment, Xu Xin, who didn't seem to care, continued to cut the steak and asked:
"Have you read a novel called "Scary Step by Step"?"
"..."
Now, the silence is solid.
My heart skipped a beat, and I seemed to understand something in a trance, shaking my head instinctively:
"No!"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Qian Pengcheng.
You guys are so interested in this script...
Mr. Qian...don't you say a few words?
He was a little confused at the moment, and he instinctively responded negatively.
However, when he met Qian Pengcheng's extremely cold eyes, sweat gushed out from his back.
this…
Not right...
No No No No No No…
this…
how could this be?
its not right…
I…
He always felt that he had figured out something, but the time was too short to think in detail.
And when I was about to forcibly calm down and think about what to do next...
"Has anyone told you that the copyright of "Scary Step by Step" belongs to me?"
Putting down the table knife, Xu Xin wiped the corners of his mouth with a snow-white napkin, turned his head, looked at him with ordinary sideways eyes and asked.
"..."
Back, sweat profusely.
In Yu Zheng's mind, there is only one thought:
"It's over."
