"Don't mention it, don't mention it. You see, it's your first time as a producer. "Detectives in Beijing" became a hit and everyone knows it. I still filmed several movies before I became so famous. What's the saying? Yes, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves in front, and the waves in front crash to death on the beach."
"You're being modest. I'm just lucky. The director is responsible for most of the drama "Detective Beijing". I'm a layman, so I'm responsible for the costume design."
Cheng Xi chatted with Mr. Feng for a while. After the tea was served, the screenwriter and director came over, and then they talked about the new drama.
We continued chatting until about five o'clock in the evening. Mr. Feng checked the time and said, "I think it's getting late too. Let's chat while eating."
Cheng Xi also read the script just now. She was quite interested in this fictional ancient house drama, so she nodded.
Mr. Feng booked dinner at a private club.
After entering the box, Cheng Xi found several more unfamiliar faces.
"Here, let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Ma and Mr. Fan, the investors of our drama. The last one is Mr. Cao, the art director of our company." Mr. Feng introduced them one by one.
Cheng Xi nodded and greeted everyone one by one.
Mr. Ma looked at her and said in a joking tone, "Xiao Cheng, just nodding your head when we meet for the first time is nothing like saying hello. Come on, come on, the wine glass is full."
Tao Mufan saw this and said quickly, "Mr. Cheng, we don't have a good drinking capacity, so I'll drink with you."
"If you're not good at drinking, you have to practice." Mr. Ma picked up a glass of white wine. "Miss Cheng won't be so disrespectful. Let me tell you, if you want to get along in this circle, you won't be able to drink."
When Cheng Xi saw it, he picked up the small wine glass in front of him and said, "In that case, I'd like to propose a toast to you all."
"Xiao Cheng is generous."
Mr. Fan on the side said, "But one cup is not enough, we have to have one cup per person. Let me tell you, your brother Ma and I have invested in many projects in the film and television industry, any one of which costs hundreds of millions. This is the one we plan to invest in." New dramas cost tens of millions just for costumes."
"How many...tens of millions?" Xu Xiao and Tao Mufan were both stunned.
The two of them had previously been exposed to some web drama projects, and everyone was short of money. The most cost only hundreds of thousands, and the cheaper ones only cost more than 100,000.
If it's tens of millions, how much will you earn?
"Cheng Xi, we are really optimistic about you."
Mr. Ma said with a smile, "The little girl is beautiful and talented. You don't see that often, but you can't be proud of this person. In the film and television industry, the most people I see are short-lived people. Just last year, there was someone The actress made a hit drama and was at the top of her game, but there will be no news this year.”
"Thank you, Mr. Ma, for the tip."
Cheng Xi raised his glass with a smile, "Okay, I'd like to toast you and Mr. Fan each with a glass."
"Mr. Feng, myself, and Director Kong are being disrespectful?" Art Director Cao, who had been silent for the whole time, suddenly said.
Mr. Feng smiled and waved, "Don't embarrass this little girl."
"Why are you so embarrassed? Can drinking help improve relationships?" Mr. Fan said jokingly.
"Haha, that's right. If we want to cooperate in the future, we have to get along for several months, so we need to develop a better relationship." Mr. Ma smiled half-heartedly.
Xu Xiao glanced at Cheng Xi worriedly. No matter how slow she was, she could still tell that these bosses were deliberately making things difficult.
Cheng Xi always said with an indifferent look, "I'm sorry, my drinking capacity is really bad. If I toast you all alone, I might not be able to talk about the cooperation content later."
Mr. Feng said, "It's not urgent. Anyway, don't you have to stay for a few days? Let's talk slowly. Cheng Xi, I know there are also several film and television scripts contacting you, but I can tell you the truth, there is absolutely no one like us." This film and television drama has more money to invest, and even the male and female protagonists agreed for this drama are both popular and talented actors."
"Come on, if you sincerely want to cooperate, just drink." Mr. Ma knocked on the wine glass, "One drink per person, only five or six drinks."
Xu smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, we have just entered the society and we are really not good at drinking. Let's just have two drinks per person, okay?"
Mr. Ma looked unhappy.
Mr. Feng beside him already said, "Okay, that's it."
