Tian Xingjian felt bitter after listening to Jin Taixi's words. It seemed like he had really failed. The two girls had been talking about millions of dollars. That was millions of dollars in 2005. They could have spent hundreds of millions on real estate, but now they were using it to start a movie company. As for him, his face was paler than his pants pocket. He had less than 2000 dollars on him, including his bank card. He felt a little ashamed when he said this.
"Um, can I invest in it with my skills? Why don't I work for the two of you?" Tian Xingjian said with some embarrassment.
"Do you really have no money, Oppa?" Han Jiaren narrowed her eyes and whispered as she wrapped her body around Tian Xingjian.
"Bastard, tell me honestly. I don't believe that you're such a useless man. Hurry up!”Jin Taixi could hear the change in her voice.
"I, I, I really can't touch that money of mine. Five years later, I'll return all the money to you five years later. I'll buy the company, okay?”Tian Xingjian gritted his teeth and finally confessed.
"Five years, five years, why is it always five years? Will the world end in five years or something? Hurry up and explain to me. Hurry up, hurry up!……Tell me!" Jin Taixi pulled Tian Xingjian's hair with one hand and tightly clasped the sofa cushion with the other.
"My, my money is all on Facebook. I have 10% of my shares, the kind that won't be diluted, so I'm waiting for him to appreciate.”At this point, it would not make sense for him to be honest with the Ministry. This was the retirement insurance he bought for himself. Although Facebook had appeared in this world a few years earlier, he was still optimistic about his prospects. Last year, he went to the United States and found that guy. He used some tricks to get 10% of the shares.
However, it was not worth much at the moment. If he bought it, it would be less than a million dollars at most. If he left it for another ten years, he would be a millionaire or even a billionaire.
"You guys, you bought Face, you bastard!”Kim Taehee screamed," Bastard, you bastard, I knew you weren't that simple…"
Unlike Kim Taehee, Han Jiaren was lying on her body and trembling as she cried softly.
The two of them had different reactions, but the same reaction made his mouth wide open. While the two of them were completely limp on the sofa, he quickly jumped up and stepped on the coffee table to rush to the bathroom. F * ck, the two of you had fun, but I haven't had fun yet, but neither of the two women could touch him." Yunxi, OPA misses you, come and save OPA!'
The next morning, a sneaky figure came out of the guest room before dawn. He carefully followed the light of his phone and sneaked into the entrance. He gently pulled on his leather shoes and carefully opened the door. With a thud, his little heart also thumped. Fortunately, the sound was soft enough. He gently closed the security door again with a thud. With this sound, Tian Xingjian didn't even have time to lift his shoes. He ran to the emergency exit and waited for the elevator. What a joke. It would be worse if he was captured alive.
He ran all the way downstairs and sat in the car with the heater turned up to the maximum, but he was still trembling all over. From time to time, he sniffed." That bastard said that cold water can calm the fire, but the fire didn't go down. It's true that he caught a cold. Damn it…Ashiba!"”
After breakfast, Tian Xingjian rushed to the company and waited. After all, he and Shen Lie weren't the only ones going. He didn't want to go to Hong Kong before and wanted to stay behind. But now, he suddenly realized that this opportunity to go to Hong Kong was too rare. These two crazy women actually wanted to start a company. Wasn't this a joke?
Even the most popular Jin Xishan had not started a company yet, but the two of them actually wanted to start a company. It was completely amusing. Was starting a company that simple? After taking another nap in the company, he officially met up with the other company staff at 8:30 in the morning and rushed to the airport.
" You've found your conscience. It's still business class!'Tian Xingjian raised his eyebrows when he received his ticket. He remembered that he was still in economy class when he went to Hong Kong last time. It was really good to be with the CEOs. He could sit in business class. He wondered if he could sit in first class when the film was released overseas. He had never sat in first class before.
He continued to doze off on the plane. He took off and landed in a daze. He didn't even unbuckle his seatbelt before he arrived at Hong Kong International Airport. He didn't sleep much last night. After freezing half to death in the bathtub, he wrapped himself in the quilt and continued to shake for the rest of the night. He quickly sneaked out early in the morning until everyone checked into the hotel. Tian Xingjian didn't have time to catch up on sleep. He followed everyone to the hospital to visit Director Quan Chengwu, and then went to meet with the Hong Kong authorities.
Tian Xingjian didn't need to do anything this time, but he couldn't be absent. Director Quan Chengwu was hospitalized, and as the assistant director, he became the only Korean director in the production team.
Tian Xingjian understood his mission very well. He just had to play the role of a marionette and do whatever the head of the company said. As for how these people fought for their interests, no one would listen even if he could speak.
From the conference room of the hotel to the Hong Kong Emperor Company, and then to the Hong Kong Emperor Chen Long Company, he had a full week of meetings. Even on the weekends, he still had meetings. The only thing that Tian Xingjian gained was to watch the movie 'The Myths' three times in advance.
The first retake included the version of the Goryeo Palace. The second retake did not include the version of the Goryeo Palace. The third retake cut out many scenes in India and added the version of the Goryeo Palace. Naturally, the first version of the movie had a time limit. The second version was the normal version, and the third version was the Han version that had been specially made over the past two days. Tian Xingjian had put in a lot of effort in this aspect, and he had privately suggested it to Shen Lie. He had asked him to go to the higher-ups to talk about it. He had not expected that it would really work.
This outcome was also a happy ending. Although there were more collaborations between China and Korea, they had nothing to do with Tian Xingjian, a small fish. They just had to eat and drink. For Shen Lie's proposal, the company would of course reward him after returning to China. Tian Xingjian? Alright, let's wait for Shen Lie's reward.
With Director Quan Chengwu in tow, the group went through a week of various meetings and finally settled the issue of the editing of 'The Myths'. In fact, there were too many such things in the future. Whether it was a world version or a certain country's version, it was all the same. Everything was actually for the box office.
"Kid, you did well. Take a break and report to the production team tomorrow.”After Shen Lie returned to Han country, he said goodbye to the other people in the company and patted Tian Xingjian's back happily.
"Still a photographer?" Tian Xingjian said half-jokingly.
"I have no objections.”Shen Lie scolded him with a smile and pushed him.
Tian Xingjian chuckled and left first. Shen Lie's wife had come to pick him up, so he naturally wouldn't be a third wheel. Although no one came to pick him up, he could also organize his thoughts and report to the crew tomorrow. This week, he was busy talking to the Hong Kong people in the meeting department. He also had to discuss with the crew about the editing of the Han version. Although he would add the title of 'editor' to Tian Xingjian in the subtitles of the Han version, it was estimated that no one would pay attention.
Sitting on the bus, not only did he think about the filming, but he also thought about Kim Tai-hee and Han Jiaren, the two women who gave him a headache. Although the two women hadn't sent him any messages this week, he believed that this was just the calm before the storm. They were waiting for him to come back.
In fact, it wasn't that Tian Xingjian hadn't thought about the possibility of opening a studio, but that was just waiting. At least three or four years later. He wasn't famous yet. Even if he opened a studio, if he didn't have a script, no one would be willing to ask him to direct a movie. Putting aside his life in the M Nation, Xu Ke's studio in Hong Kong was also like this. He didn't have much work to do in the beginning, but he had friends who could recommend some films to him. Moreover, he had been working in the company for a few years and Hong Kong recognized his directing skills. So now, the studio was making a lot of money.
Tian Xingjian also wanted to make a name for himself in CJ first, then start a new studio. However, he would still be affiliated with CJ. This way, he wouldn't have to worry about the issue of distribution, and he wouldn't have to worry about the issue of investment. However, Jin Taixi and Han Jiaren's unforeseen circumstances disrupted his plans.
Even a fool would know that selling his shares would be a loss. This was the last option he had left for himself when he was studying in the United States. If he failed, he was prepared to return to Singapore to live a petty life. As for other investments, he really didn't have that much money. Besides, the first opportunity to take advantage of this was the website that he accidentally spread when he was in school.
He decisively went to Harvard University to look for that kid and invested 50,000 USD to sign a contract for shares that would not be diluted. Tian Xingjian only invested in the development of the website and did not express any opinions. He only retained the right to vote against it. Every year, he did not even participate in the shareholders 'meeting. All the votes were directly handed over to Zuckerberg.
If he were to sell it now, the original contract would be famous. Zuckerberg had also taken the time to check on his own internal repo in Hong Kong. If he sold it now, his 10% share would only be worth more than 1.3 million dollars. It seemed that there would be an appreciation this year, but it would only be a steady appreciation. When computers became more popular, that would be the time to make rockets.
It would be a bit of a loss to sell it now.
Back at his house in Jiangbei, Tian Xingjian once again began to ponder about the Sunshine Sisters. This was the first movie that he had truly established himself in Han. Although he did not go to the production team, he still took the time to call his acquaintances to ask about the progress of today's filming. In the end, he also got Director Park Tingen to confirm the filming progress again. He also quickly compared the script and progress.
Lying on the floor, Tian Xingjian casually found a magazine and started to fan himself. His house was a corner house. It was cold in winter and hot in summer. Although it was only May, the weather was unbearable. He couldn't stay in the daytime at all. In the past, he would either drink iced soda at the production team or spend the night with the company. When it was really summer, he would follow his neighbors to the Han River to sleep. Although there were more mosquitoes, it was cool.
As he thought about it, he actually fell asleep. This was the best sleep that Tian Xingjian had in the past month. He slept from the afternoon until the next morning. He slept until his entire body was sore. He knew that it was because he had slept too much. Even the cold that had been bothering him was almost gone after sleeping for a while.
When he arrived at the set in the morning, he saw that Shen Lie had arrived earlier than him. Naturally, he knew that he was going to return to the director's position today. As for the beating incident last time, there was no new news, so it was left unsettled. There were a lot of entertainment news in Han that could be reported.
The crew was not surprised that Tian Xingjian returned to the director's seat. Seeing Shen Lie sitting next to him and chatting with him from time to time, Park Tingen did not have any temper and did not dare to have any opinions.
According to yesterday's inquiry, Tian Xingjian had asked about the progress of the filming this morning. He knew that the middle-aged man's plot had been filmed. Other than the last scene that he had instructed him to shoot, he had even completed some of Han Jiaren's switching scenes. Of course, Tian Xingjian wouldn't say that he still wanted to practice. He had already seen the things that had been filmed this week. There were no problems at all.
According to the filming schedule, today was the first time the young Seventh Princesses gathered at the Golden Rose's house. Tian Xingjian's eyes were fixed on the beautiful faces of these girls. Before, they were all middle-aged intellectual beauties. Now that they were dressed up, they looked like young middle school students. They were pure and innocent. Other than these two words, Tian Xingjian couldn't think of any other words to describe these girls.
"All departments, pay attention!”Tian Xingjian saw that the crew was ready and naturally prepared to shoot. As for Jin Taixi and Han Jiaren, they didn't give him a hard time. Work was work, and private matters were private matters.
"Match 52, take 1!" Following the script supervisor's slapping, Tian Xingjian shouted at the group of people sitting on the windowsill,"”
Following Tian Xingjian's shout, a group of beauties in the living room of the old house began to dance like a group of demons. Tian Xingjian, who was sitting behind the monitor, focused on the images captured by the two cameras.
However, when he switched to a group of people sitting on the windowsill, Tian Xingjian was a little dissatisfied when he saw Moon Geun Ying. How should he put it? What Tian Xingjian needed was an ice beauty. In fact, if this role was played by Jeon Jihyun and Sun Yizhen, they would only need to be expressionless. Even Yoon Eunhye would be fine. But Moon Geun Ying looked a little unnatural.
"Cut, Wen Genying, when the camera passes by, don't bother with him. Don't make any movements at the corner of your mouth. Your smile will only make people think that you're cute and not an icy beauty.”Tian Xingjian shouted at Wen Genying.
"I'm sorry, Senior. One more time!”Wen Genying nodded in embarrassment. This was his first time shooting with Director Tian Xingjian, and he wasn't involved in the middle-aged scene. Two days ago, he did shoot a scene where she smoked at the window of the mansion, but it was still directed by Tian Xingjian.
They were filming again. This time, they didn't need to dance around in the living room. Tian Xingjian just asked them to sit around Han Jiaren. There was no problem with the editing.
"Something doesn't feel right!" Shen Lie was also experienced and had read the script. He sat beside Tian Xingjian and whispered.
"It can't be helped. This is how it is after filming too many TV dramas. She's also the cute type of girl. It's not suitable for him to pretend to be an ice beauty!”Tian Xingjian also scratched his head. Although Wen Genying's face was very flat this time, it looked very strange, a little nondescript.
"A replacement?" Shen Lie asked in a low voice. He was paying more and more attention to Tian Xingjian now. He could use him well, and he could give him ideas at critical moments. He could make movies, write scripts, and even edit scripts. Such a talent did not need to serve in the military. He would definitely be a vanguard general under Shen Lie in the future.
"It's not like that. She's such a beautiful girl. There's no hurry. Are there any female artistes more beautiful than these people nowadays?”Tian Xingjian shrugged his shoulders. Actually, he had another candidate, Gao Xiaoying. However, that woman was putting on airs and actually looked down on a newcomer like him. Therefore, Tian Xingjian would not lick his face and beg her to go.
Besides, in this parallel world, who knows who would be the top ten beauties of Han in the future?
"Kid, can you be a little more promising!”Shen Lie said in a low voice. This was also what he was most concerned about and angry about. This guy had no ambition at all. His eyes were fixed on the actress. Of course, Shen Lie also knew Tian Xingjian's ambition. It was his ambition to become a director. He had no interest in the company's affairs.
"It's over. Next!" Tian Xingjian wasn't in a hurry. Although Wen Genying's performance wasn't up to par, it wasn't good to cut more than a dozen scenes at the beginning of the morning. He would shoot the next scene first and chat with her later when he was free. If everything went well, he would just shoot another scene.
"Who found this guy?" Tian Xingjian looked at the following scenes and suddenly found another random actor. He had wanted to find the original Jin Shihou to perform, but who knew that he would take on another film this year. As a newcomer, he did not dare to take on two films at the same time, so he rejected him. Tian Xingjian did not think much about it after knowing. In Han, what was the easiest thing to find? Beautiful men, there were a lot of them.
"How about Blue Love of Life and Death, the selling point of the box office!”Shen Lie joked.
"Alright, isn't this guy enlisting this year? You still have time to film with our production team?”Tian Xingjian had a good understanding of Han's entertainment industry. This year, a large number of celebrities joined the army, such as Yan Zhengxun, and Yuan Bin was one of them.
Every May, most of the artists who were about to enlist in the military would start to turn down all their jobs. The company would also help them settle all the work contracts before they joined the military. Now, the only people who could still come out to film were crazy people who wanted money more than their lives.
However, Tian Xingjian felt that Shen Lie's words were strange. He suddenly remembered that Shen Lie used to be the producer of Blue Life-and-Death Love. No wonder he could pull Wen Genying and Yuan Bin over so easily. He probably used his friendship to pull Yuan Bin closer to the crew.
Yuan Bin didn't have many scenes. If they were to shoot the movie right after Yuan Bin's scenes, they could finish it in a week. If they were to follow the normal schedule, it would definitely not be a problem for them to finish it in a month. It wouldn't delay his enlistment at all. He came early today and went to the locker room to study the previous week's filming. He did not greet them, so it was a little strange to see them.
As for the other actors, they were probably a group of professional extras provided by CJ, so Tian Xingjian did not see any familiar faces.
Look, look, what was a professional actor? Although Yuan Bin only had a few lines in this part, he instantly displayed a character that went from pretending to be cool to being kind. When he spoke, the Seventh Princess looked at Yuan Bin in a daze.
"Cut, lovestruck. I'm still filming, so I paid you guys to see handsome guys.”Tian Xingjian didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at the scene on the monitor. He was also speechless,"A bunch of guys who don't know what's good for them. Ah, lift up your clothes and let these fangirls see what abdominal muscles and chest muscles are!"”
Tian Xingjian's words instantly caused the awkward group of actors to burst into laughter. Li He from the props team also smiled shyly and quickly hid in the crowd. However, it was useless for him to hide. The entire crew also laughed.
"Alright, alright, let's start again. If you guys finish filming here before 10 o'clock, I'll add a scene where Yun Bin repairs the faucet. I guarantee that you guys will enjoy it!”Tian Xingjian said with a smile.
" Oh..." The group of people started to cheer again, but soon everyone started to shoot again. This time, the girls didn't collectively forget the plot, but Tian Xingjian told Xu Zaidong to give Yun Bin a close-up shot to make Yuan Bin look more handsome. Later, it would attract more fans to support him.
In fact, this scene didn't need to be filmed in many places, but there were many redundant scenes in the script. Tian Xingjian could have not filmed it, but when he saw that Wen Genying wasn't in character, he could only practice with her for a while to see how it went. After all, there were many places that needed her to be different.
If she continued acting like this, not only would she criticize him, but Tian Xingjian would also suffer.
"Alright, let's rest. We'll shoot the rest of the afternoon!”Tian Xingjian saw that the morning's plot was almost completed, although he knew that the plot here was only a little bit.
"Hello, Director, I'm Yuanbin. Sorry for the trouble!”Tian Xingjian smiled and greeted Yuan Bin politely. After all, he hadn't appeared in the morning. After that, Yuan Bin went to greet Shen Lie, so he recorded his orders with the script supervisor and went to the courtyard to smoke on the stone steps.
He was thinking about how to turn Wen Genying around. However, he knew that it was very difficult to change the shooting method of the TV series to the movie. He thought about the Chinese boy in Xiangjiang. He was still criticized after so many years.
