Chapter 73 Several Hundred Million Yuan Missing
Then Han Ziming, Li Feng, and Wen Muye sat down at a table and chairs three meters away from the entrance of the theater.
Li Feng said somewhat helplessly, "Boss, shouldn't we be waiting outside?"
Han Ziming gave a nonchalant look: "It's so cold, you go if you want."
Wen Muye nodded in agreement: "Yes, it's really cold this time of year, especially at night. It's much more comfortable here."
Before long, 75 pairs of fan siblings, 200 audience members, 50 film critics, and 50 media personnel entered the venue.
Soon, Zhang Ruonan, dressed in a white dress, and Li Xian, dressed in a brown suit, walked into the theater side by side.
Then Jiang Peiyao, Xiao Hong, Zhao Shiyao and others came in. They greeted Han Ziming and sat down in the third row. However, Zhang Ruonan's seat was a bit far from Zhou Ye.
Han Ziming doesn't know many big stars either.
He then asked Li Feng to send a few messages to Huang Dan and Tang Ren, feeling that it was unnecessary to bother the bosses in this cold weather.
As for professionals, such as film critics and media personnel, Han Ziming had Li Feng send them invitations.
He thought that was all for tonight, but then a whole bunch of them showed up, which was just unbelievable.
At this moment, hundreds of audience members in the theater exclaimed in surprise:
"That must be Brother Hu!"
"Nazar is so beautiful!"
"Yao Mei! My wife!!!"
Han Ziming turned his head and saw a group of people appearing at the door.
With a smile on her face, Cai Yinong, along with Nazha and Chen Yao, walked into the theater with Brother Hu.
Naza wore a red off-shoulder dress, which made her skin appear as white as snow.
Her exquisite eyeliner and vibrant lipstick made her look even more striking, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
Chen Yao wore a white dress, the hem of which swayed gently in the breeze, like a pure lily.
Her face was lightly made up, and her clear eyes and sweet smile exuded a pure and youthful charm that made people feel affection for her.
The media personnel were stunned and bewildered, their camera shutters clicking incessantly.
"I've never heard of any collaboration between Mozi Films and Tangren. Why is Brother Hu attending the premiere?"
"They were probably rehearsing for the Spring Festival Gala in Beijing and happened to run into this, so they were invited to come and support them."
Han Ziming and the other two stood up to greet Cai Yinong and her group as they approached. Li Feng said with a smile, "President Cai, thank you all for coming!"
Cai Yinong responded with a smile, "Mr. Li, you're too kind. This is an artist from my company; everyone knows her."
Then, Brother Hu, Nazar, and Chen Yao all spoke at the same time: "President Han, President Li, Director Wen, hello!"
Han Ziming was surprised. He wasn't surprised that Brother Hu would come, but what was going on with these two senior sisters?
However, at this moment, all three members of Tangren were looking at Han Ziming. After regaining his senses, he politely said, "Brother Hu, hello! Hello, senior sisters!"
Naza and Chen Yao both looked at Han Ziming with curiosity. After all, it's rare to see such a young director from the same school.
Cai Yinong looked at the young and composed Han Ziming and smiled, "President Han, thank you for thinking so highly of Lao Hu."
Brother Hu said politely, "President Han, I heard that you were the one who selected me to star in 'The Story of Minglan'. Thank you for your trust."
Han Ziming laughed and said, "It's because you yourself are strong enough! Otherwise, I wouldn't have made the selection."
Cai Yinong seized the opportunity: "President Han, Nazha and Chen Yao have good looks and abilities. I hope we'll have the opportunity to work together in the future. Why don't you give Nazha and Chen Yao some pointers?"
Immediately, everyone felt incredibly awkward, especially Nazar and Chen Yao, who became extremely uncomfortable.
Han Ziming wasn't afraid and blurted out, "President Cai is joking. I wouldn't dare to offer advice. But I think Nazha would be quite good at pursuing a career in fashion and variety shows. It would be good if she didn't have a romantic relationship."
Li Feng and Wen Muye both rolled their eyes. Who would criticize someone's relationship right after meeting them? It's like advising them to break up.
However, Cai Yinong, Hu Ge, and Chen Yao felt that Han Ziming was right. Nazha was love-struck, and many fans would definitely rejoice over their breakup.
Upon hearing this, Naza became angry. Her lips trembled slightly, as if she wanted to utter a curse, but Chen Yao pulled her back in time.
Unfortunately, after calming down, Nazar still retorted, "Mr. Han, you're still young. You don't know how dangerous it can be for female celebrities after a breakup."
Upon hearing this, Cai Yinong's expression changed drastically, and Brother Hu and Chen Yao tugged at Nai's hand.
Han Ziming understood that if Nazha broke up with him, he would probably have to attend social events again soon. Sugar Ren wasn't a good company; you had to be able to drink to work there.
I heard that Lao Cai often brings people to banquets. As for what happens after drinking, Tang Ren doesn't force anyone, but Han Ziming really dislikes this kind of guiding behavior.
Moreover, there are many wolves in this industry. If a female artist is single and has no background, her project might be put on hold, and she might have to have a meal with him to relax before anything else happens.
Han Ziming realized he had just said the wrong thing.
"It's rare for my two senior sisters to show their support today. We can't give them resources directly, but giving them an audition opportunity for a role shouldn't be a big problem."
After saying that, he turned to Chen Yao and said:
"As for Chen Yao, just play Wu Xin: The Monster Killer well. However, I suggest you try roles with bright and glamorous costumes. It might have a different effect. I hope we will have the opportunity to work together in the future."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yao felt she had gotten a great deal; it seemed the injection had some effect after all. She smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Han!"
Naza's anger subsided instantly. She hadn't expected her younger brother to be so straightforward. However, her way of apologizing was not bad. It would be good if she got another supporting role audition!
Han Ziming looked at the two exquisite faces in front of him and chuckled to himself.
If a supporting role can be exchanged for the friendship of two beautiful women, that's not bad.
I did say something wrong just now. Actually, pretty girls are both popular and dangerous in the industry, especially when they are down on their luck. They can easily be pulled into drinking with clients.
Although Mr. Cai's company operations are not very good, he is really good at choosing people. No wonder he had worked in Hong Kong in his early years and has a first-class aesthetic sense.
When the others heard Han Ziming's solemn promise, they also became serious.
Before the group could speak again, Han Ziming saw Gong Yu and Dai Ying from Kiwi Fruit, and Hou Hongliang walked over at noon.
He greeted Cai Yinong with a polite yet friendly smile:
"Mr. Cai, please have a seat. I'll go and greet the others. I'm too busy today, let's chat again when we have time."
When the group of people turned around and saw that it was the bigwigs from the online video platform, they weren't angry.
Seeing this, Li Feng quickly led the people with sugar granules to the fourth row of seats.
Just as they reached the third row, Zhao Siyao stood up and said, "Oh! Isn't this Sister K? Long time no see!"
Zhao Siyao has lived in Shanghai for many years and has had a lot of dealings with Tangren.
Seeing that Zhao Siyao recognized them, Li Feng handed Tang Ren and the others over to her to receive.
Cai Yinong and Brother Hu were surprised to find that Zhao Siyao had gone to Mozi Film and Television. The two groups then introduced themselves to each other.
Han Ziming had just finished speaking when he saw Teng Xun's Sun Zhonghuai and Han Zhijie arrive from behind. He was speechless and quickly came over.
Tencent was initially very optimistic about "The Beginning," but due to unforeseen circumstances, Han Ziming went to Kiwi Fruit and there was no follow-up.
This has left Han Zhijie feeling very frustrated. If he wasn't satisfied with the price, they could have negotiated it again. He never expected to miss out on a potential hit drama.
Moreover, it's even competing with its own show, "Candle in the Tomb," which is still airing. Fortunately, "Candle in the Tomb" is a long-standing IP. If it were another show, it might actually lose out to iQiyi.
When Sun Zhonghuai learned of this, he was extremely disappointed, never expecting that Kiwi Fruit would get such a great deal.
Damn it, hundreds of millions just vanished!
