Rebirth of the Unworthy

The call was from Li Rongjia.After a few simple greetings, Li Rongjia went straight to the point and said, "Rong Xiu, are you still interested in investing in movies?"

"Invest in movies?" Li Rongxiu repeated in surprise, subconsciously looking at the other people at the table.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Qijun and others stopped their chopsticks and looked over curiously.Li Rongxiu continued to ask: "Second brother, why do you suddenly ask such a question, maybe you don't have any money?"

Li Rongjia on the other end of the phone laughed and started to explain.It's not that Meihua Entertainment is out of money, it's just that the situation this time is a bit special.Because this time Meihua spent a huge sum of 7000 million yuan to shoot a semi-commercial and semi-literary film called "The Killer".The reason why he made such a nondescript movie was that Li Rongjia had no choice but to be tortured by a director under the company, Zhang Zhisu.

This well-known commercial director in the entertainment circle of the empire did not know why he went crazy, and suddenly became obsessed with literature and art.They were clamoring to make a literary film, and it had to be a literary film of gunfights, called "The Killer".Originally, Li Rongjia didn't have any objections, so he could shoot as he wanted, and the company was not short of the few million.

But when the director heard this, he quit immediately.Threats and lures were used, and the company insisted on investing 7000 million yuan in the film, and even named the two actors who were the most difficult to work with in the industry to take on the big role... Li Rongjia was worried about Zhang Zhisu's veteran in the company With his identity and his contribution to the company for so many years, it is difficult to refuse, so he can only bite the bullet and agree, which is regarded as buying people's hearts.

However, there is no way to agree to agree. Li Rongjia will not bear the burden of this kind of bullying by himself, so it is necessary to find several investors to share the risk.As for why it was found on Li Rongxiu's head...

"Didn't you set up a Chaomeng fund? I noticed that your foundation hasn't been doing much recently. Do you want to come over and invest? Don't worry. Although this movie is a nondescript literary film, the actor invited Lin Wanhui, the heroine... is Zhang Wanyu, the leading actress of Meihua. I just want to attract money from the fans of these two casts. I believe your second brother, at least you won’t lose money.”

"The Assassin..." Li Rongxiu muttered a few words in a low voice. The name sounded familiar. After thinking about it for a long time, he recalled it. It seemed that this movie had won quite a few awards, both domestic and foreign. Best Film Award, and Best Actor and Actor Award... It seems to be quite powerful.

Thinking of this, Li Rongxiu said, "Then I'll discuss it with Zhao Qijun and the others first, and I'll get back to you later."

"Okay, I'll just wait for your letter." Li Rongjia said, and hung up the phone neatly.

Li Rongxiuxuan was about to learn everything from the beginning, and finally asked: "What do you think?"

"I have no objection." Zhao Qijun was the first to say: "Anyway, apart from supporting some student projects and scholarships in the school, our foundation doesn't have much to do. If Brother Rong Jia is willing, making a movie is also good."

"I have no objection either." Xin Mengmeng still had some fondness for the investment in the last film, and after hearing about the male and female protagonists of this film, he asked with great interest: "Then after the film starts, can we go to the crew to visit the crew?" Is it? I want Lin Wanhui's autograph, I like him very much."

"It should be no problem." Li Rongxiu saw that other friends expressed their agreement one after another, so he called Li Rongjia and asked if he could visit the class. A friend said: "Second brother said, when Lin Wanhui goes to the filming crew, he will arrange for us to visit the set, and even have a meal is no problem."

As he said that, he said to Zhao Qijun: "Don't bother the two masters with one thing, you Zhang Luo was responsible for the filming last time, so let you handle it this time."

Zhao Qijun nodded irresponsibly, pulled the lamb ribs in the bowl with his chopsticks, and asked, "Young Master Xiu, can we stop eating the lamb scorpion hot pot from tomorrow, it's been almost two months , I'm tired of eating."

"That's right." Before Li Rongxiu could react, Xin Mengmeng, who was sitting by the side eating Liangpi, also complained, "I can't stand your enthusiasm. If you catch what you like, you can eat it endlessly. You are not afraid of eating it." hurt."

Seeing this, Li Rongxiu glanced at the pot full of lamb ribs with some reluctance—except for him, basically no one had chopsticks, and said regretfully: "Okay, what do you want to eat tomorrow, you can eat it yourself." Arrange, I will do as I please."

"Then let's go eat the f-national cuisine. I heard that there is a new f-national restaurant in the southern district. The chef's skills are very good. I've wanted to go there for a long time." Allen said quickly.

"It's all good," said Xin Mengmeng and the others, who almost vomited after eating lamb ribs. At this time, even a blade of grass feels fresh, let alone the newly opened restaurant in Country F.

Li Rongxiu looked at everyone's attitude of avoiding lamb ribs, and said with a snort: "You people are too fond of the new and dislike the old, unlike me, who are dedicated and long-term."

Everyone looked at Li Rongxiu's narcissistic and boastful stupidity, and almost couldn't bear to look directly at him and turned his face away.

A month later, the semi-literary and semi-commercial film "Killer's Anger" that Meihua Entertainment and two other film and television companies spent huge sums of money on was finally launched. There are two investors, one is engaged in real estate and the other is engaged in coal mines, neither of which was in this industry before.

On the day of the launch, these investors, the producer and the main members of the crew got together for a meal. Xin Mengmeng also got the autograph of the beautiful uncle Lin Wanhui as he wished, and Li Rongxiu and other men also got the actress Maggie Cheung with satisfaction. signature and the honor of personally pouring wine and persuading food.

After three rounds of wine, five tastes of dishes, a change of glasses, the guests and the host have a good time. It seems that the cultural customs of the empire have decided that things are easier to talk about at the wine table.

What's more worth mentioning is that on the second day of the "Killer's Anger" launch conference, the New Dream Film and Television Entertainment Company founded by Chi Junrui also announced the first film invested and shot by the company, which is also a gunfight action. "The Death of a Killer" with a literary melody.

Everyone, including people in the industry, the major media, and the audience who watched the excitement immediately noticed the similarities between the names and styles of the two films.And when Chi Junrui vowed at the press conference to challenge "Killer's Pride", he was keenly or hesitantly aware of Chi Junrui's purpose of pulling Meihua into publicity.

It's really a cockroach that can't be killed. If you don't bite people, you have to respond to them.

Anyway, the news spread more and more with the help of caring people, Li Rongjia was also furious by Chi Junrui's actions, and even cursed and vowed to make Chi Junrui look good, he would not let him finish the movie smoothly, but It was Li Rongxiu who stopped the furious Li Rongjia, and said with a smile: "Grandpa often said that when we are in business, we should not be troubled by money. Since Chi Junrui is willing to give us money, we just accept it." .Why bother to cause some thankless things and let outsiders see it as a joke."

"He made a movie and dragged us to do publicity, or did he give us money, are you mad by this kid?" Li Rongjia looked at Li Rongxiu and asked incredulously.

"I'm not crazy, I'm awake." Li Rongxiu explained with a smile: "Even if he sets up a film and television company, what can he do if he learns how others make movies? In this era, channels are king. In Wancheng, the largest theater chain In the hands of Meihua, the movie theaters under Meihua are the most luxurious and accommodate the largest number of audiences in the entire evening city. Even if this scope is expanded to the entire empire, we Meihua can control and influence more than one theater chain. Not to mention, we have more than 80 movie theaters in first-tier and second-tier cities in China. As for overseas distribution, let alone. So what are you afraid of?"

Li Rongjia was just a little dizzy from the disgust of Chi Junrui's actions. After hearing Li Rongxiu's analysis, he came back to his senses and quickly smiled: "Isn't that right? What am I worried about? No matter how hard Sun Houzi is, he won't be able to turn over." The Five Fingers Mountain of Tathagata Buddha came out. No matter how much Chi Junrui can hype it up, as long as it’s released and I’m pinched to death, I’m not afraid of his bad deeds!”

Thinking of this, Li Rongjia immediately calmed down.So in the following media interviews, Li Rongjia also began to play tricks with ease: "The golden law of the commercial market lies in healthy competition, so we at Meihua will never worry about competition from the industry, let alone because of malicious hype by others. I messed up my pace. But I also admire Mr. Chi's spirit very much. He is really a very dedicated and hardworking person."

"...What, you asked me why I said that. Of course, this is obvious to all. At least in Wancheng, I haven't seen anyone who can work with peace of mind under such a difficult situation like President Chi. .”

As soon as these words came out, everyone knew that Li Rongjia was using this to allude to the battle between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law between Chi's mother and Shen Manyao.Of course, whether Chi Junrui's daughter who was prematurely born and sickly or even too weak to handle a full moon banquet was mentioned in a vague way is unknown.After all, Li Rongjia is not that brain-dead, and will not leave any excuses for the other party in terms of words.

After the news spread through the media's excuse, Chi Junrui also refuted it immediately. He used the way of participating in the talk show announcement to prove that his family is actually very harmonious, and accused Li Rongjia of irresponsible speech and intentionally misleading the public.The two parties started a scolding war as the media wished, and successfully supported countless media industries.

But Li Rongxiu didn't have the energy to pay attention to this scolding battle, because his good friend Shen Yujun who disappeared for a long time finally came online.After full preparation and unparalleled torture, Shen Yujun, who completed the devil's trial ahead of schedule, was recognized by the Ariel family. He got the name of his own country of Enolia, which he had longed for and dreamed of. The genealogy of the Ariel family has deeply carved its mark.He even got the paternal love from Patriarch Allie...

But Shen Yujun didn't want to be soaked in this atmosphere for too long, he didn't even want to recall any pictures about that trial.You know, the trial of the heirs of the Ariel family was already very cruel, but because those clan elders objected to the Patriarch of Ariel finding an illegitimate son from outside to inherit the family, they arbitrarily increased the difficulty of the trial by at least ten times.In other words, if it wasn't for... he would have almost died on that isolated island.

So after regaining his freedom, Shen Yujun couldn't wait to call Li Rongxiu.He wanted to find the feeling of a normal person from Li Rongxiu.

After the two exchanged brief greetings, Li Rongxiu asked curiously: "Then can you tell me now, what is the name of your Enolia country?"

"Vendicatore, Wendicatore? Allie." Shen Yujun said calmly and calmly. "I chose the name myself."

Li Rongxiu on the other end of the phone took a deep breath. Although he had vaguely realized it, when Shen Yujun confessed, Li Rongxiu was still in a daze and couldn't believe it.Just because——

Vindicatore?Ariel, this mysterious and great name belongs to the youngest and most ruthless patriarch in the history of the Ariel family.During the ten years when he was in charge of the Ariel family, the strength and influence of the Ariel family expanded rapidly on a global scale.And, Vindicatore?Ariel is also the patriarch who is the least willing to deal with the media in the history of the Ariel family.At least in the memory of Li Rongxiu's previous life, none of the media had revealed the photo of Vendicatore.

What impressed Li Rongxiu the most was that he heard a rumor faintly.It is said that this Vendicatore had already passed the test, obtained the approval of the previous Patriarch, and became the first heir.But two years later, the previous patriarch died of a sudden illness. The other elders in the Ariel family suddenly repented and did not agree to let Vindicatore take charge of the Ariel family as the patriarch.Therefore, Vendicatore had no choice but to kill all the elders who dared to oppose, as well as the Ariel clan who had the qualifications of heirs, and finally inherited the Ariel family as the sole heir with difficulty.So after he came to power, he has always had the title of a tyrant.Even under the vicious circle, the patriarch has been repeatedly assassinated within ten years of being in charge of the Allie family...

In his previous life, Li Rongxiu had no contact with this patriarch of Ariel, so he didn't care what happened to him.But in this life...

Thinking of the misfortune Shen Yujun might encounter, Li Rongxiu reminded: "By the way, how is your biological father?"

Shen Yujun was taken aback for a moment, and said with a smile: "It seems that you are quite curious about him. If that's the case..."

Shen Yujun thought for a while, and invited him: "From tomorrow on, I will follow him to learn how to handle business and family affairs. I asked him if he could invite friends to be guests. If possible... Wait until the winter vacation, you Would you like to come and see me?"

When he said these words, Shen Yujun suddenly felt a sense of anticipation for some reason.
