Chapter 240 Thinking about money is crazy
A private room in a high-end Chinese restaurant in H City.
Qin Xi asked with a smile, "So, H Satellite TV has invited you to be the only male guest of my "Happy Weekend"?"
Mu Fei, Di Shen, and Tan Jing nodded at the same time.
"And you all agreed without thinking?"
Mu Fei, Di Shen, and Tan Jing nodded at the same time again.
"Then H TV told you that you were not the only ones and that they had invited two others?"
Mu Fei, Di Shen, and Tan Jing nodded at the same time again.
Qin Xi held his forehead and looked up at the sky. He guessed that H TV didn't expect that these three people were so idle and had so much time to spare. It would have been a blessing if one of them could come, but he didn't expect that they all agreed!
H TV was in a dilemma now, and accepted the three-fold increase in pay, but who knows if these three big brothers have the character of not meeting each other as kings, and they are the only ones who are in charge, so in the end, the ball was thrown back to them.
Mu Fei curled his lips and said, "I've already told you that I'm rehearsing a play in H City right now. I can do this kind of small job when I have time. There's no need to trouble you two brothers, but they just won't listen~"
Di Shen laughed, "I'm on vacation recently. I haven't seen Xiaoxi for a long time, and I haven't been on a variety show for a long time. We are all friends, so it's a good opportunity for us to have fun together~"
Mu Fei: Brother, I think I have only met you a few times at events. Can an acquaintance like you be considered a friend?
Tan Jing: Do I know you well? Excuse! You just want to show off in front of everyone, to make it seem like you and Qin Xi have a very good relationship. I don’t know you?!
Qin Xi looked at Tan Jing, who had been keeping aloof, and smiled, "Brother Jing, what about you?"
"Me? I'm just...giving you a favor~"
Needless to say, the result was that each of the three of them wanted to go up by themselves and wanted to squeeze the other two out. In the end, they found that no one could be squeezed out, so they had to settle for the next best thing and the three of them went up together.
The budget for this episode of [Happy Weekend] was greatly exceeded, but H TV is definitely making a profit. As soon as the program was revised, four big names were invited at the same time, which is definitely a good start.
The gathering of four stars, everyone controlled their diet and focused on chatting. It was a pity that these three big brothers were very familiar with Qin Xi, but their relationship was quite ordinary. It was inevitable that they were a little awkward when they got together.
But Tan Jing has this ability. As long as he is not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Tan Jing spoke passionately, "During the tax scandal, I really thought you were being scammed. It turns out you were just playing dumb and using the opponent's strength to defeat Fang Xianyu. No wonder you were so calm at that time, Qin Xiaoxi, you are really capable. I really underestimated you before!"
Tan Jing's opening words opened up several people's conversations, and Mu Fei was not to be outdone.
"Yes, you don't know how many people from the tax bureau came at that time. They were very enthusiastic and full of momentum. It happened to be Xiaoxi's farewell party, and most of our colleagues in the company were there. The situation almost got out of control. Now think about it, Xiaoxi, you were so calm at the time. Did you know that they would have a tantrum at the farewell party?"
"How could I have predicted this for sure? I just knew they would come sooner or later, so I just created the best opportunity for them. I didn't expect that they would actually come!"
Mu Fei sighed, "Ai Fei and I have worked together on several dramas. The first drama she made after her debut was filmed with me. She was such an innocent and simple girl back then. How did she become like this?"
Di Shen sighed, "Time is a butcher's knife, and the entertainment industry is a grinding stone!"
"Okay, Brother Di Shen, you are quite insightful!" Mu Fei said in surprise.
“Alas, these are the blood and tears I have learned after being in the circle for many years!” Di Shen waved his hand.
"Let us encourage each other!" Mu Fei clasped his fists.
Tan Jing rolled his eyes, childish! Then he fixed his eyes on Qin Xi.
"Qin Xiaoxi, have you forgotten what you promised me?"
Qin Xi pondered for a long time, but still couldn't remember. He asked tentatively, "When did it happen?"
"It was on the phone that day!"
Seeing that Qin Xi still had a confused look on his face, Tan Jing became furious.
"Did you forget that you agreed to act in my new movie during the phone call that day?"
Qin Xi was so angry that she almost laughed. "I swear to God, Brother Jing, I almost recorded it for you. It was you who said you wanted me to take over your new movie, but that shit ruined it. You were so angry that you scolded me. Have you forgotten?"
"So you didn't want to read my script?"
"That just means I need to think about it, not that I have to accept it!"
Tan Jing slammed the table and said, "Now tell me, are you going to accept it or not?!"
Di Shen suddenly realized, "I was wondering why you were so active this time. It turns out that you are here for a different purpose. I am waiting for Xiaoxi. This is the first time I have seen you have this attitude when asking someone to do something for me. Tan Jing, I admire you too!"
"How can I beg someone for help? I'm clearly giving Qin Xi a chance to shine in the film industry. There's no more room for improvement in the field of TV dramas, so why not quickly get involved in the film market? It's clearly a win-win situation for us!"
"Since this is a win-win cooperation, why don't you invite me? Why don't you invite Mu Fei?"
"Brother, do you know how expensive you two are? Do you know how tight the budget is for me as a director for my first time making a movie? If you two are willing to make a cameo appearance for free, I would absolutely love it!"
"Ahem..." Qin Xi cleared his throat, interrupting the argument between the two people.
"Brother Jing, although my schedule is free now, it's not a big deal. I can take it if I want."
"What do you mean? Didn't you set up your own studio and become your own boss?"
"I am my own boss, but I am also a shareholder of Meige. I also have a share in the bet agreement that Meige signed for its listing."
Mu Fei couldn't help but shake his head. "Just because of this bet, Mr. Song almost blew up my phone!"
Di Shen asked curiously, "How did you sign this bet? Is it difficult?"
"Three years, net profit of 1 billion, then..."
Di Shen and Tan Jing shouted at the same time, "Three years, one billion?!"
"Boss Song, are you crazy about money?!"
Tan Jing was shocked that there were people in the circle who were crazier than him.
"This... is clearly an impossible task!" Di Shen also shook his head.
"How can you say it's impossible? As long as we invest in two low-budget movies, and the box office of these two movies can exceed 1 billion, then Meige's net profit will reach the target immediately, right?"
Tan Jing took a deep breath, "Do you think this goal is easy to achieve? Low cost, and over 1 billion?"
Qin Xi smiled slightly, "It's hard for others to achieve, but it's hard for you, Brother Jing. Brother Jing, investment is not good now, are you interested in cooperating with Meige? Do you have confidence that the box office will exceed 1 billion?"
Tan Jing was surprised to find that Qin Xi had taken over the role, but he quickly smiled arrogantly, "If you don't even have this much ambition, why would you make a movie?"
Qin Xi and Tan Jing made an appointment to go to Meige to discuss film cooperation after returning to Beijing. At the same time, Sister Meng called and released a bombshell news.
In order to reach the bet target faster, Mr. Song signed two more stars. Mr. Song was very optimistic about them and said that the bet was promising.
"Who is it? Why does Mr. Song take it so seriously?"
Sister Meng sighed softly.
"They are all your old acquaintances! Oh, what a sin~"
