"Xingchen, sit next to me." As soon as Jiang Changan saw Li Xingchen, he called him to his side and pointed to the empty seat next to him.

Based on his seniority and role in the movie, it was not Li Xingchen's turn to sit next to Jiang Changan.

However, considering that Li Xingchen was personally invited by Jiang Changan and was young, we made such an arrangement.

"Thank you, Director Jiang." Li Xingchen looked around and saw that the room was full of people from the production crew. Among the main seats reserved for investors, there was only one empty seat next to Jiang Changan.

After sitting down, Li Xingchen realized that Yu Simu was sitting opposite him. Her assistant Xiaotang was sitting at another table behind Yu Simu. She should be talking to Yu Simu now, just facing Li Xingchen.

"Huh!" Sensing Li Xingchen's gaze, Yu Simu's assistant Xiaotang snorted coldly and turned away.

"Xiaotang!" Yu Simu glanced at Xiaotang and said in a serious tone, "I'll be angry if you do this again!"

Seeing Xiaotang's resolute attitude yesterday, Yu Simu originally thought of talking to her after finishing work in the evening. Who knew that after receiving a call from an agent in the evening, he forgot about the matter. As a result, today he is still childish.

So big.

After blaming Xiaotang, Yu Simu turned around and gave Li Xingchen an embarrassed smile. After seeing Li Xingchen's look telling him not to think too much, he looked back at Xiaotang with a warning look.

"Why did you offend Simu's assistant?" Taking into account the interaction between several people, Jiang Changan laughed.

"Nothing, just yesterday..." Li Xingchen didn't expect that the little girl would still be thinking about it after a whole night. She was also a little dumbfounded. He was about to explain the cause and effect to Jiang Chang'an when someone opened the door from the outside and interrupted him.

if.

"Clang-"

I don't know whether the person who came here was intentional or his hand slipped. He opened the door with a huge movement. The sound of the door hitting the wall made the private room quiet for a moment.

Jiang Changan looked at the door with some displeasure, and found that he didn't recognize the person who came. He was about to yell, but the next moment he saw a familiar figure:

"Assistant Hu?"

"Director Jiang." Hu Ruiwen nodded to Jiang Changan.

"Who is this?" After confirming Hu Ruiwen's identity, Jiang Changan looked at the person standing aside, thinking that the reason for the door opening just now was because of this person.

But after searching in his mind, Jiang Changan was very sure that he did not know this man.

"This is the manager of our film and television investment department, Manager Zhang." Seeing Jiang Changan's confusion, Hu Ruiwen quickly pointed to the people around him and introduced him to Jiang Changan.

"Hello, Manager Zhang," Jiang Changan immediately understood. He didn't ask Hu Ruiwen where the original investment manager had gone. The filth in this big company is no less than that in the entertainment industry, so he said "please" to the chief executive.

posture, "please sit down."

"Yeah." Zhang Zexin responded lazily, without even bothering to raise his eyelids, and staggered to the main seat. His every move was like that of a playboy.

"Thank you very much for Shengshi's support of "Mountain and River". Manager Zhang, may I propose a toast to you?" Jiang Changan has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, what kind of person has he not seen? After Zhang Zexin sat down, he raised his hand without changing his expression.

Wine glass.

Although Zhang Zexin knew at first glance that he was a second-generation ancestor, no matter whether Zhang Zexin relied on his own ability or his father, as long as he was from a prosperous age, Jiang Changan would greet him with a smile.

"Director Jiang, right?" Zhang Zexin lazily raised his eyelids and glanced at the wine glass Jiang Changan placed in front of him, without any intention of picking it up. "I heard that you have always been in charge of the box office, so what about this movie?

How much box office can there be?”

Although Zhang Zexin said "you", there was no respect for Jiang Changan in his words.

"No one can guarantee that the movie has not been released yet," Jiang Changan said, feeling a little unhappy because of Zhang Zexin's words. Although Shengshi Group has always cared about the results, it has never been so disrespectful at the closing banquet.

, but it was not easy for him to scorn people in the prosperous age. The smile on his face remained unchanged, "But it is estimated that there will be more than 3.5 billion."

Jiang Changan's words can be said to be very modest. Judging from the box office of his movies over the years, the box office of 3.5 billion is considered rare. Most of them are more than 4 billion, and the highest one even reaches 8 billion.

"Three and a half billion?" Zhang Zexin snorted coldly, "Our Shengshi invested 700 million, the box office was 3.5 billion, and the theaters had one point, how much more can Shengshi make?"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of everyone in the room changed. Even with smiles on their faces, they looked a little stiff.

Let’s not mention that this is the filming crew’s wrapping up party. Whose wrapping up party wouldn’t be a happy and lively one? Let’s just say that the movie hasn’t even been released yet, and the box office issues have started to be investigated.

What? There is an emperor and a courtier. Is this a new official taking office and preparing to take action on "Mountains and Rivers"?

"You can't say that," when everyone was silent, Li Xingchen held up his chin and retorted lightly, "As far as I know, Director Jiang's average box office is around 5 billion. Putting this aside, let's just say

The box office is only 3.5 billion, and in the end, Shengshi will be able to get about 1.1 billion. After excluding the 700 million investment, it can also make a net profit of 400 million."

Before Zhang Zexin could speak, Li Xingchen knocked on the table and continued:

"Not to mention that the largest theater in China is now owned by Shengshi. Isn't the theater's share going in the left pocket and going out in the right pocket? Moreover, Director Jiang's movies have always been popular for awards. I'm afraid that the advertising fees will also be enough for Shengshi.

Get soft."

In the beginning, Li Xingchen still had some expectations for people in the prosperous age. After seeing Zhang Zexin, those expectations disappeared immediately, and he even became a little confused:

How could there be such a person under the uncle's command?

Even after going through a reincarnation, Fu Tingshen's character has not changed at all. In Nanyuan Kingdom, second-generation ancestors like Zhang Zexin, who relied on their ancestors, were the first targets of His Majesty's punishment after he ascended the throne.

"You know..." After being retorted, Zhang Zexin instinctively felt displeased. He raised his head and started to curse, but after seeing Li Xingchen's face, he immediately turned around and said, "I was just joking.

,Why are you all so serious?"

While speaking, Zhang Zexin looked Li Xingchen up and down, his eyes so direct that it was impossible to ignore.

The thing he was most dissatisfied with about the finals banquet was that although the actors in "Mountains and Rivers" were all good-looking, they were all in their thirties, and Zhang Zexin was afraid of biting into a piece of old meat and breaking his teeth.

Who knew there would be an unexpected surprise? Looking at Li Xingchen's face, he is only twenty-three at most, and he is so good-looking. Even if he is really thirty, it will not be a loss.

"So that's it." Noticing Zhang Zexin's gaze, Jiang Changan felt a thump in his heart. He quickly turned sideways and blocked Li Xingchen behind him. "In that case, I'd like to toast to Manager Zhang!"

"Easy to say." Although he was a little unhappy because his view was blocked, this time Zhang Zexin picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Regardless of what Zhang Zexin just said was looking for trouble or really joking, this move also gradually warmed up the atmosphere in the box. People in the entertainment industry are all good people, and each one is better at acting than the last.

After a while, people at the table began to change cups and cups, talking and laughing, as if all the unpleasantness just happened had never happened.

After three rounds of drinking, Zhang Zexin felt a little displeased when he saw Li Xingchen not touching the glass in front of him, so he simply picked up his own glass:

"The actors and actresses also worked hard during the filming of the movie. I would like to toast you all."

If the investor toasts in person, it’s impossible for him not to drink too, right?

Zhang Zexin said he was paying tribute to the actor, but anyone with a discerning eye at the table could see that he was trying to get Li Xingchen to drink.

After all, from the moment he saw Li Xingchen, Zhang Zexin's eyes seemed to have grown on Li Xingchen's body, and he couldn't even pluck them out.

Zhang Zexin's eyes couldn't help but remind Li Xingchen of the first person he met when he first came to this world, Zhou Qiang.

You must know that Zhou Qiang is very unlucky now. After Li Xingchen settled the contract with Tiancheng Entertainment, he went to calculate Zhou Qiang's position and gave Zhou Qiang an enhanced version of the bad luck charm, which can fit between his teeth when he drinks water.

kind.

So what did he give Zhang Zexin?

Li Xingchen was thinking in his mind.

"What? Is Mr. Li dissatisfied with me?" After Zhang Zexin put down the wine glass, he found that the wine in front of Li Xingchen was still motionless, and he frowned dissatisfied.

"Of course not," Ji Feichi said at this time, "Brother Xingchen is not yet an adult. Minors are not allowed to drink."

Ji Feichi moved the wine glass away from Li Xingchen, while not forgetting to emphasize to Zhang Zexin that Li Xingchen was still underage.

I thought Zhang Zexin would give up the dirty thoughts in his heart by saying this, but after learning Li Xingchen's true age, Zhang Zexin's eyes flashed with excitement:

He's not yet an adult yet. It's good to be underage. The budding flower bones are the most delicious.

"How can it be so strict?" Zhang Zexin waved his hand, "I started drinking when I was fifteen or sixteen years old. Now there are many young people who drink better than us. Brother Xingchen, are you right?"

To you!

Li Xingchen was about to retort and jump up to hit Zhang Zexin on the head. Suddenly he thought of something and rolled his eyes:

"Manager Zhang is right. It's just that Brother Ji and Director Jiang were worried and wouldn't let me drink. Since Manager Zhang said so, I'd like to toast you this cup!"

At the same time, he took the wine glass back from Ji Feichi, raised his head and drank it all.

"That's right! Come and feed our brother Xingchen!" Zhang Zexin's face was very satisfied, and his tone of calling Li Xingchen was also very affectionate. If you didn't know the inside story, you would think that the relationship between the two was so deep.

"Xingchen!" Jiang Changan didn't expect that Li Xingchen would do something like this. He turned around and was about to say something when he received a "don't worry" look from Li Xingchen.

Although they had only known each other for a short time, Jiang Changan also knew that Li Xingchen never did anything he was unsure of. Since Xingchen did it on purpose, he must have had other plans in mind.

But even so, Jiang Changan was a little worried. After all, Li Xingchen was still young. He calmly winked at the assistant sitting beside him and told him to watch.

As Li Xingchen drank the first glass of wine, it was as if Zhang Zexin turned on a new switch, and then he poured wine for Li Xingchen one glass after another. Li Xingchen accepted all the orders.

Li Xingchen's move attracted the attention of many people at the table, especially the steward sitting at the next table, who had begun to whisper:

"Brother Xingchen, what are you doing? Is it okay for a minor to drink so much?"

"Seventeen years old is considered an adult, right? But if you drink this white beer like this, you will get drunk easily, right?"

"This guy surnamed Zhang is not a good guy at first glance. He even told me that my younger brother is underage and he still let me drink!"

"I feel so distressed. I wish I could rush up and drink for my brother!"

…

Li Xingchen was drinking here, and on the other side, Fu Tingshen picked up his phone for the unknown number of times and found that there was no new news on it, and then he thought that the little guy was going to attend the wedding banquet tonight.

After thinking for a while, Fu Tingshen reached out and pressed the intercom phone, and then Yan Zhou walked in from the door:

"Seventh Master?"
