"Ding!"
Three glasses clinked together.
Before Li Tang toasted, he secretly glanced at the two of them, but there was nothing strange about them. While sighing secretly, he drank the red wine in his glass.
Little Fatty did the same. He raised his head and drank a toast like he was drinking beer. Jiang Qinqin, on the other hand, took a small sip and tasted it in her mouth before toasting.
"This wine tastes good."
"Of course it costs more than two hundred yuan a bottle."
This kind of 92 Great Wall has a somewhat mellow taste depending on the year, but it’s not necessarily how good it tastes. Li Tang estimates that it is at most the same as the California dry red that cost more than ten dollars that he often sold in the supermarket in his previous life. almost.
"Why do I think they all taste sour?" Xiaopang said with his mouth shut.
Jiang Qinqin glanced at her and said with a sense of superiority: "Of course red wine is sour, but if you taste it carefully, you will find that there is a big difference. Good red wine has different flavors, such as apple flavor, lychee flavor, It tastes like watermelon and chocolate.”
Oh, I almost forgot, she lived in Wanwan. These days, Taiwanese girls still have a strong sense of superiority, and they are very good at showing off in front of mainland bumpkins, and I guess she has learned that too.
In fact, the taste of red wine is nothing more than wine aroma, wine acid, wine flavor and tannin.
Wine aroma is the aroma you smell. All wines have aromas, but some are rich and some are light. This depends on the grape variety during brewing. In addition, the oak barrels used during wine fermentation and storage will also affect the aroma of the wine. For example, the Jiuer Great Wall they are drinking now has the aroma of oak barrels.
As for wine acidity, all wines have sourness, some are strong and some are light. And if the sourness is moderate and suitable for people's taste, it is generally a good wine.
The same goes for the so-called wine taste. All wines have a fruity taste, and most of them are grape-flavored. But some fruit flavors are very strange and can make people think of them, just like what Jiang Qinqin just said, such as apple flavor, lychee flavor, watermelon flavor, chocolate flavor, etc., and even honey, tobacco flavor, etc.
In fact, this so-called taste is more of a psychological effect of people, and they follow others' opinions to show their awesomeness.
That last tannin is more of a texture than a flavor. The slightly astringent flavor in wine is caused by tannins. Whether it is strong or light, to put it bluntly, it depends on what concentration suits the taste and what kind of wine is good.
In fact, generally anyone who has some research on red wine will know this, but Xiaopang is a foreigner and doesn’t understand anything. He was really fooled by Jiang Qinqin, so he poured some more himself and took a sip imitating Jiang Qinqin’s example. Then he slurped it in his mouth as if gargling it, and after swallowing it, he thought for a moment and said, "It's still sour and has no taste."
Li Tang couldn't stand it anymore, so he took a piece of goose leg and gave it to the little fat guy: "Eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables."
When Xiaopang wasn't paying attention, he glared at Beauty Jiang again. Isn't this bullying?
Jiang Qinqin smiled happily, but stepped on Li Tang under the coffee table to show her dissatisfaction.
Li Tang looked at Xiaopang, who was looking at the goose legs with a hesitant expression. Forget it, I don't know her.
"Eat it, indulge once in a while, it's not a big problem."
But the little fat man still reluctantly put the goose legs back into his bowl and hummed: "What you said is easy. The first time you indulge, there will be a second time. If you want to lose weight again, you don't know how many meals you will have to skip. Not cost-effective!”
As she said that, she still stretched her chopsticks towards the plate of bad edamame very knowingly.
Jiang Qinqin was not taboo about meat and vegetables, and while eating it deliciously in front of the little fat girl, she also advised: "Bingbing, if you want to lose weight, you need to exercise more. Eating less is not only unhealthy, but also easy to lose weight if you relax a little." Bounce.”
Xiaopang pouted and said, "Of course I know, but exercising is easier said than done! I might as well eat less."
Yep, it’s hard to persuade the damn ghost with good words!
Jiang Qinqin snorted, turned around, picked up the glass she had just poured wine into, and toasted to Li Tang with a smile: "Brother Li, I hear Bingbing say how much you help her every time she promotes, you have to help this time too." Yeah. I’m worried right now that I won’t be able to play the role of Mu Nianci well.”
Listening to Jiang Qinqin's charming voice, Little Fatty had goosebumps all over his body. Before Li Tang could speak, he taunted Li Tang: "Sister Qinqin, you are also a graduate of Nortel after all, and you have been in the industry for so long. Do you still need it?" Will Li Tang give you guidance?"
Is this a metaphor for being old?
Jiang Qinqin did not show weakness and immediately countered: "Of course, although I am from a major, I am much better than those wild people, but the acting industry is very good. Brother Li is the best actor in Venice. This is a rare opportunity. I Of course you have to ask for advice!"
Who is Ye Luzi scolding?
Seeing that Little Fatty was about to lose his luck, Li Tang quickly smoothed things over and said, "Okay, okay, stop making trouble. We agreed that today is a celebration drink, so don't make it unhappy, okay?"
It's all Cheng Er's fault for sneaking away without making a sound. If he had known that he would be facing these two women alone, Li Tang wouldn't have had a celebratory drink.
Jiang Qinqin, who got the advantage, walked downhill, moved the cup she was holding towards Xiaopang, and said with a smile: "Okay, Bingbing, I'm kidding you. Come, let's have a drink."
Xiaopang looked aggrieved. He looked at Li Tang and saw the other person winking at him, so he reluctantly picked up the cup.
When Li Tang saw this, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly picked up his cup and said with a smile: "I'll come too. I wish our movie...well, I can't say it will be a big hit, but at least the box office can survive." .”
"Ding!"
"cheers!"
"Hey, Brother Li, our movie probably needs box office to recoup our investment, right?"
Jiang Qinqin doesn’t know much about the specific situation of film investment.
"It has to cost at least 10 million at the box office."
Now counting all the copying, publicity, etc., the total investment has already exceeded 3 million, almost 3.5 million. Even if the box office is 10 million, according to the 33% share ratio, it is not enough.
"Wouldn't that mean we would lose money?" Jiang Qinqin said worriedly.
These days, a movie that can reach a box office of 10 million is considered a big hit. According to the current trend, it is obviously impossible for "The Third Man" to reach a box office of 10 million.
After saying that, Jiang Qinqin added: "Then what kind of remuneration do you give us..."
But before she finished speaking, Fan Xiaopang burst out laughing, finally getting a chance to fight back.
She looked at Jiang Qinqin with a stern look and said, "Do you know about overseas earnings?"
Before Jiang Qinqin could react, she turned on the question-and-answer mode and said, "Do you think we went to Venice last time to judge awards? We mainly went to sell movies!"
Thinking of how he and Zeng Jia were shouting and distributing promotional pamphlets at the film market on Lidu Island, Xiaopang not only felt proud, but also full of a sense of superiority.
Then he said: "We have reached a global agency agreement with France's MK2 Company, the largest art film distributor in Europe. Let's put it this way, overseas revenue is the bulk, and the domestic box office mainly focuses on influence. Even if you lose money and make a profit, it will be no problem. !”
Jiang Qinqin was confused when she heard this. She has been filming Qiong Yao dramas for many years, because Qiong Yao dramas are not only distributed in the Gulf, mainland China, Hong Kong and Macao, but are also very popular in Southeast Asia. This is probably what she knows about the so-called overseas income. .
As for Europe's largest art film distributor, the French company MK2, she had never heard of it, but it sounded like a very high-end company.
"Really?"
She looked at Li Tang.
Li Tang nodded and smiled: "It's true."
"How much does that cost?"
"The recycling of art films is a long process, and it is not unusual for two or three years. By the end of this year, there may be 500,000 to 600,000."
"Only five or six hundred thousand?" Jiang Qinqin said in surprise.
"Please, this is US dollars, okay!" Xiaopang said with disdain.
Well, she finally got a win.
Jiang Qinqin could only say: "Oh, that's it!"
According to the current exchange rate of 1:8.43 between US dollars and RMB, even if it costs 500,000 US dollars, it would still cost more than 4 million, which is enough to recover the investment.
In fact, the figure Li Tang mentioned is quite conservative. In the past month or so, he has earned US$300,000 to US$400,000 just from selling the copyright of MK2. But as we all know, the box office share is the bulk of the overseas agents' share. Since the specific box office is not known yet, Li Tang only calculated a little and came up with the figure of five to six million. If the box office is a hit, it will be far from this number.
Two bottles of red wine was just a drizzle for the three of them. However, Jiang Qinqin's face easily gets on her face after drinking alcohol. Her skin is white and delicate, no worse than the chubby one who is six years younger than her, or even better. Looking at her rosy face at this time, she really felt a little bit gorgeous.
Li Tang's absent-minded gaze naturally caught Jiang Qinqin's eye, and he even secretly hoped to be discovered by Xiaopang.
But at this moment, a cell phone rang.
Li Tang immediately came back to his senses, and while picking up his phone, he subconsciously glanced at Xiaopang guiltily, and found that there was nothing strange, so he secretly shouted: Lucky!
However, as soon as his eyes turned and he came into contact with Jiang Qinqin's charming eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little bit in his heart.
In a hurry, he glanced at the phone screen and found that the call was from Zeng Jia. He immediately ignored the eyebrow lawsuit with the beauty and quickly answered the phone: "Jia Jia, how are you?"
When Zeng Jia called at this time, there was only one possibility, and that was that the box office for the three working days from the 8th to the 10th was out.
Sure enough, Zeng Jia said excitedly on the phone: "Brother, the box office in three working days is 2.2 million, and our total box office now exceeds 5 million!"
Before the movie was released, they set a goal of reaching a box office of five million. Now this goal has been achieved less than a week after its release?
Li Tang even couldn't believe it, and hurriedly said: "Jiajia, you can't be mistaken, can you get 2.2 million in three working days?"
According to his experience in his previous life, generally speaking, the box office of the first weekend of release is definitely the highest, but once it comes to the working day, the box office will drop off a cliff. Unless it is a phenomenal blockbuster, it may drop by 20 to 30%. .
Nowadays, "The Third Man" has 3 million in one prime week and 2.2 million in three days on weekdays. The decline is only a little over 20%. How is this possible?
"Yes, it's absolutely true. I couldn't believe it at first, and I checked carefully. The box office for the three days from the 8th to the 10th was 820,000, 630,000 and 750,000 respectively. Plus It’s exactly 2.2 million!”
Li Tang finally understood that he was right, and immediately said excitedly: "Okay, okay, Jiajia, you have worked hard during this period, I will give you a red envelope later!"
When Li Tang put down his phone, Xiaopang and Jiang Qinqin both looked at him with twinkling eyes. What they had just heard was true.
Xiaopang spoke first: "Two million and two million for three working days, is that a lot?"
"Um!"
Li Tang nodded heavily, unable to suppress a smile on his face.
"So, our previous target of five million box office has been exceeded!" Xiaopang exclaimed.
In his excitement, he actually hugged Li Tang and kissed him hard on the face.
"What are you doing?" Li Tang quickly wiped his face.
Although the two have slept together for a long time, they have always admitted that they are just friends in front of outsiders. Even during this publicity road show, they booked two rooms to show their innocence. As for whether they would sneak into whose room at night, then only They both know.
Although Jiang Qinqin was not an outsider, Li Tang had always deliberately avoided being too intimate with Xiao Pang in front of her. Of course, this is also Li Tang's subconscious mind. Who told him to eat the food in the bowl and look at the food in the pot!
"So happy!"
Xiaopang was not at all angry at Li Tang's action of wiping his face, because she did it on purpose, just to declare her sovereignty on the pretext of being happy, so as not to be worried about the vixen all the time.
Moreover, the two of them are about to join the same crew, and they actually have to play a couple, so it is even more necessary to declare their sovereignty. In addition, at least for herself, this is also a psychological comfort.
Although Jiang Qinqin tried her best to stay calm, she was still stimulated by this scene. But they were the first to get there, so I can only blame myself for being too reserved at the beginning and not being able to capture Li Tang immediately.
Of course, she couldn't lose her composure in front of Xiaopang, otherwise she would play into the opponent's hands. She could only force a smile and said: "That's great, but it's a pity that the wine is finished, otherwise we would have to have another drink."
Xiaopang looked at Jiang Qinqin's embarrassed look and said more and more proudly: "If you don't have wine, what's the point? I'll ask Shasha to buy two bottles now."
Li Tang saw this and said quickly: "Forget it, it's getting late. Everyone has worked hard today, I think it's better to rest early."
Jiang Qinqin had already been stuffed with a mouthful of dog food, and her interest had already waned. After hearing what Li Tang said, she immediately stood up and said, "Then I'll take my leave first."
"I'll see you off." Li Tang also quickly stood up and said.
…
night.
Fatty was lying on the bed panting. She liked to ride horses, but unfortunately her riding skills were not good. In addition, due to weight loss during this period, her physical fitness inevitably declined, resulting in physical exhaustion.
Li Tang next to him was originally very sleepy, but after such a toss, he became energetic. The main thing was that he was neither up nor down, and he was a little unfinished.
"Didn't I agree to have a good rest tonight? I have to catch a flight tomorrow morning!"
The chubby guy didn't say anything. After finally catching his breath, he said, "If I don't come, I'm afraid some people will take advantage of it."
Li Tang knew what she meant and couldn't help but said: "I don't know what you are thinking about all day long. I told you that I have nothing to do with her."
"Tch, by the time something happens, it will be too late!"
Li Tang was too lazy to argue with her, stretched out his hand to hug her, kissed her collagen-rich face and said with a smile: "Then you can't guard against thieves, and even if you want to guard against thieves, you can't guard against thieves. It can definitely be prevented."
"I'm out of sight! Anyway, I don't care what you do outside, don't let me know. If you let me know, hum... you know the consequences."
"Uh... got it!"
Li Tang's expression was stagnant, and he nodded hurriedly. Who would let his "handle" be held in other people's hands? If you are not careful, it will affect your sexual well-being throughout your life.
I've eaten so much today that I can't even bother to write chapters.
