Chapter 428 Giving Gifts
Zhou Xun drank a lot, and Yang Mi was ordered to send Zhou Xun home.
The two got in the car, and Yang Mi whispered in Zhou Xun's ear: "Sister Xun, I heard that Huayi offered you a three-year contract worth 1 million yuan, and you refused?"
Just now in the villa, there were so many people around that she couldn't ask, but she was really curious.
Huayi is now strong and powerful. Having failed to sign Zhou Xun back then, it is determined to make a comeback and win him.
Zhou Xun's face flushed, his eyes half open and half closed: "It seems that everyone knows about it. Director Li must also know about it?"
Yang Mi smiled and said, "Even if you knew, you would definitely pretend not to know."
"He is a lotus root, with ten thousand tricks on his mind. Let's not mention him."
Zhou Xun nodded slightly: "Actually, it's not just Huayi, but I rejected them all."
"If I really wanted to sign, I would just renew the contract. Why bother?"
"As for Huayi, it's even more impossible. This is not a matter of money."
Yang Mi is also an understanding person: "Indeed, no matter who you go to, you can't go to Huayi."
"This is a slap in the face of the senior."
It is basically impossible for artists from Rongchen Pictures to work for other companies once they leave Rongchen Pictures.
Unless it's reversed.
Li Chen personally sent Zhang Yimou to the car.
Zhang Yimou didn't want to be too ostentatious and hoped that his signing ceremony and welcome reception would be simple.
Li Chen was embarrassed: "You are really giving me a hard time, Director Zhang."
"If it were any other artist, they would be so happy. Please listen to me this time."
"People's words are scary. If I don't do something bigger for you, I'm afraid you'll be drowned in people's spit."
Zhang Yimou laughed and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
What Li Chen said made sense, so Zhang Yimou didn't insist.
Neither of them mentioned Zhang Weiping again.
It was completely handed over to Yang Siwei to handle.
Before Zhang Yimou got home, Zhang Ziyi called him.
She knew that the teacher was going to attend Zhou Xun's farewell party tonight.
"Teacher, have you told Director Li about me?" Zhang Ziyi was impatient and went straight to the point.
Zhang Yimou was embarrassed: "Can I wait for a while?"
Zhang Yimou couldn't bear to embarrass his disciple.
The key point is that you are now in trouble and the donation fraud incident has not been resolved yet.
The investors are avoiding you like the plague, so how can he talk to Li Chen?
This is not helping people, it is causing trouble for them.
His own affairs were troublesome enough, and Zhang Yimou really didn't want to argue with Li Chen at this critical juncture.
"Okay, okay, teacher. I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much."
"Is it not going to cause you any trouble if I go to your signing ceremony?"
Zhang Yimou would never refuse anyone, he knew what Zhang Ziyi meant.
"bring it on."
Zhang Ziyi hung up the phone with satisfaction.
Yang Siwei stayed until the last to leave.
When Li Chen went to see Zhang Yimou off, Yang Siwei pulled Liu Yifei aside and asked, "What do you want me to do, boss?"
Liu Yifei drank a lot of red wine, her face was red and her eyes were clear.
He looked at Yang Siwei and said with a playful smile: "I asked you to pick someone up."
"Pick someone up? Pick up who?"
"I'm making cartoons." Liu Yifei rubbed her nose lightly and tried to hold back her laughter.
Yang Siwei said with a smile: "Filming a cartoon? Do I need to pick it up?"
She even thought that the boss had poached this animation talent from somewhere.
As soon as Li Chen entered the room, he heard his fiancée teasing Yang Siwei in a mischievous way.
"It is indeed a cartoon, it is Robert."
"Robert? The Robert from Disney?" Yang Siwei suddenly reacted.
That year, Yang Siwei met the head of Disney at Yifei's Crystal Wu birthday party.
See Li Chen nodded in acknowledgement.
Yang Siwei asked curiously, "What is this foreigner doing here, boss?"
"You'll know when you see me tomorrow."
The next day, Yang Siwei picked up Robert at the hotel where he was staying and went directly to Fangshan Restaurant.
If you want to fool foreigners, you have to go to such an ancient place.
Deng Chao and Zhu Yawen looked at the two bottles of Moutai on the table, wondering what the boss meant.
"The big boss of Disney will be here soon. Your mission today is to take down this foreigner."
Deng and Zhu looked at each other, and were shocked. They were specially called by the boss to accompany the guests for drinks, but they didn't expect that the person accompanying them was actually the head of Disney.
Zhu Yawen swallowed his saliva: "The CEO of Walt Disney?"
"Who else besides him?" Liu Yifei asked with a smile.
"Xiao Zhu, today it's up to you and Brother Chao. Li Chen said that this foreigner is a sly guy."
Deng Chao patted his chest and boasted, "Don't worry, Yifei, I'm going to drink as much as I want. These two bottles are not enough for me."
"What's more, it's Maotai!"
"Fake." Li Chen's words left Deng and Zhu dumbfounded.
"Fake? Are you kidding, Director Li?" Deng Chao said in disbelief.
Liu Yifei covered her mouth and chuckled: "He's not kidding, it's Moutai's bottled high-purity Erguotou."
Deng and Zhu were dumbfounded.
The two of them have already made big promises, so they can only pretend to be strong.
After a while, Yang Siwei came in with several foreigners.
Robert laughed heartily and gave Li Chen a tight hug.
"Li, long time no see, you look handsome again (English)"
"It's been a while since we last met, and you're still as strong as ever." Li Chen was a little uncomfortable with the foreigner suddenly being so friendly.
As the saying goes, if someone shows you kindness without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief.
Robert smeared honey on his lips: "Oh my God, Crtstal you are getting more beautiful, I am almost moved."
Liu Yifei smiled reservedly: "Thank you."
Robert is one year younger than Zhang Yimou and can be her grandfather.
Liu Yifei silently glanced at her fiancé. This foreigner was indeed a little abnormal today.
Deng Chao and Zhu Yawen, who were standing by, were filled with emotion.
It is true that birds of a feather flock together.
See who your boss deals with every day.
The national teacher, the head of Walt Disney.
Li Chen introduced Deng Chao and Zhu Yawen to Robert.
Once the two sides sat down at the table, Li Chen was so angry that he almost died.
Deng Chao and Zhu Yawen’s boasting was so loud that it shook the sky.
Robert didn't even have to take action, as the two deputies he brought with him knocked the two brothers down.
Fortunately, the two of them are not completely useless.
With the attitude of dying together, Luobote's two deputies were also killed.
It’s a king versus king situation, so Li Chen has to do it himself.
After a few drinks, Li Chen no longer wanted to play along.
"Robert, you're here to sign a contract with the government this time, and your destination seems to be Shanghai. I'm very touched that you came to see me specially."
Liu Yifei and Yang Siwei were trying to hold back their laughter.
They were not moved at all. They knew that Li Chen was about to start performing again.
Robert smiled and said, "That's what should be done, Lee."
Li Chen nodded: "If I hadn't been flying to Hangzhou tomorrow, I would have gotten drunk with you tonight."
"Are you flying to Hangzhou tomorrow?"
"Well, there's a play about to start filming. If it weren't for waiting for you, I would have flown away today."
Robert looked touched, and I didn't know if he was pretending.
"Li, thank you for your hospitality. It's great here. China is really a magical place."
"You are also a magical person."
"As far as I know, since your debut."
"Whether it's investment or filming, whether it's produced by Chiyou or your Rongchen Pictures."
“It seems like no production loses money.”
"You know what we in Hollywood call you? The Miracle of the East!"
Li Chen smiled and remained unmoved.
Just listen quietly.
Yang Siwei also realized it later.
If you think about it carefully, it seems that except for the box office of "Buried", the other films are all good in terms of box office and copyright.
Indeed, no compensation was paid.
What Chi You produced was more like a money printing machine.
Yang Siwei seemed to understand a little bit about why this foreigner came today.
"I'm here to give you a thank you gift. Thank you for proposing the Oriental Disney project." Robert glanced at Liu Yifei and said.
