At noon, I tasted the dishes cooked by Mr. Juan's wife, and Du Lin was full of praise. It's not that it's really delicious, but the intention is indeed worthy of his praise. As a rich man, there are always one or two professional chefs at home to cook. If the guests are not particularly important, the owner will not cook at all. Juan really felt that Du Lin and him were very compatible, especially when the two of them were talking and chatting, time would pass by unknowingly, which made him feel that it was too late to meet him. Reluctant to let Du Lin leave, we chatted for more than half an hour before it ended.
When he returned home, Du Lin was surprised to see Frena sitting on the sofa in the hall. He casually threw the key into a craft basin next to the door that was specially used for keys. He took off his hat and gave it to Dove. He walked directly to the sofa and sat down, "Didn't you report to the crew?"
Frena forced a smile. Of course she reported to the set. Not only did she report, but she also had a conflict with Corinna's female cousin. What was even more troublesome was that she followed the director's advice and wanted to ease the relationship between them. , let the filming of this movie end properly, but Corinna, who has increasingly felt the threat brought to her by Frena, directly "went to her parents". She called the rich man behind her and made it clear that either she would leave or Frena would leave.
The role of Frena is a human role. The rich man who wants to make Frena famous is good friends with the rich man behind Corinna. Perhaps he wants to learn from it, and it is relatively cheap to support an actress. This is a way to improve his reputation, so he has Frena as an extra supporting actress. Now that the serious heroine has quit, this human role will naturally be cancelled. These rich people will not destroy their relationship for the sake of a woman who is destined to never be who they are.
So Corinna found Frena with a look of revenge and told her that she was out.
After hearing the news, Frena was completely stunned, but she did not continue to pester. Instead, she smiled and said goodbye to the crew members one by one, then turned and left. She was a little at a loss and didn't know what to do next, so she had to go back to Dulin's manor for the time being.
There will always be times when any strong woman is weak. The stronger she acts, the more harm she actually suffers. On the contrary, those ordinary girls may burst into tears if they suffer such a blow, but after crying, they will be almost fine.
With tears in her eyes, Frena told Dulin everything that happened during this period. She felt that she had done nothing wrong, and she could not do nothing because of Corinna's constant actions against her. If she suffers it silently, then her scenes will most likely be deleted. Only by standing up to protect yourself can she gain respect and recognition from others, but not her enemies. She didn't expect Corinna to be such a person, but just a few verbal exchanges could make her say something close to a rogue, "With her but without me."
At the end, she laughed with tears in her eyes, raised her wrist and stretched out her fingers, gently guiding away the tears rolling in her eyes, "Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just starting over, and I don't seem to have started. Originally, it's not a big deal. I have nothing, and nothing will happen to me if I lose again." She took a deep breath and bowed solemnly, "I plan to go back tomorrow. If possible, can I stay here for one more night?"
Du Lin didn't react at all during the whole telling process, which made Frena really give up. Just when she had given up and was about to go back, Du Lin said something that made her feel like sunshine. The feeling of heavy dark clouds shining on her body.
"Why are you leaving? This is Ilian, not those remote places. Their money may be very useful in those places, but in Ilian, they can't talk!" He crossed his fingers, and Dove almost Bu walked to his side, he looked back at Dove and said with a smile: "Call Scott and ask him to come. I need to talk to him."
After speaking, Du Lin looked at Frena and patted her shoulder, "Go and touch up your makeup. In Ilian, on my territory, no one can surpass my will!"
Scott came very quickly. He had been so busy these past two days that he was almost suffocating. Coming to Dulin at this time was just a laziness and a little rest. He took off his coat and sat on the sofa. The sea breeze blew through the empty space between the pillars, making him close his eyes in contentment. "Du Lin, do you think all of you rich people are so good at enjoying themselves?" Or are you the only one who enjoys it the most?"
This sentence is not meaningless chat. There must be a reason why no one was willing to buy this villa for so long after it was built. Those wealthy people often own millions or tens of millions in property, but apart from real estate, they actually don’t have much liquidity. But they could still afford this house, but no one took action, so Scott asked.
Du Lin thought for a moment and replied: "Maybe this place belongs to me, so they let me go!"
"Ha... What you said is really interesting. Do you believe in fate?" Scott did not think Dulin's words were arrogant. He was also a young man, and most of the city's managers were young people. Young people should be as arrogant as young people. That is not a shameful thing.
Dulin shrugged his shoulders, took a snake fruit from the hand and threw it to Scott, "I came to you this time because I want to ask you something. If I also want to make a color movie, these Is the equipment easy to get now?”
Scott took a big bite on the snake fruit, and the sweet juice exploded in his mouth. He said reluctantly: "Equipment? That thing is not easy to get, but if you really want it, it's not difficult to spend some money." ". There is only one equipment manufacturer that can produce color film shooting equipment. These capitalists spent a lot of money to develop the production methods of this equipment, just to make money.
If people know that this kind of thing is not much more complicated to produce than black and white camera equipment, how can it be sold at a high price? Therefore, only one set is produced every week, and a set is priced at 129,000 yuan and 999 yuan. Such a high price has not only not fallen, but has continued to rise despite the production of only four sets a month. It is said that the price of each of the top ten orders has already reached more than 20,000, and the top three have soared to forty thousand.
On the contrary, the equipment used to play color movies is almost the price of Chinese cabbage. A set only costs 6,000 yuan, and the supply is unlimited. This is the business practice of capitalists. If the production of playback equipment cannot keep up, naturally no one will buy camera equipment. Because there aren’t many movie theaters that can play the filmed stuff, wouldn’t it be self-defeating
If Dulin wanted it, Scott would make a call and someone would send the equipment over, but the price would not be one dollar short of 130,000, but one dollar short of 200,000.
Dulin looked at Scott with a smile, which made him feel a little scared before he said: "Money is not a problem, I hope to arrive within a week. In addition, please help me pass a message to Mr. Mayor, Juan and I The husband plans to jointly make a color film. The film contains a lot of scenes about the urban construction of Ilian. After the film is released, it will play a very important role in promoting Ilian. "
"In addition, Mr. Juan and I are planning to join forces to acquire the sixteen movie theaters of East Coast Entertainment Company, and then deepen our cooperative relationship with the George family represented by Miss Nasha in this regard, and strive to establish a brand new company to serve the entire To build the largest and most powerful cinema chain in the empire, we need the city hall to take the lead.”
Dulin's two sentences immediately made Scott sit up straight. As the mayor's "secretary", his political sensitivity far exceeds commercial sensitivity. It is not difficult to find from Dulin's words that once the movie he mentioned is shot Being successful and being screened nationwide will have a great positive publicity effect on Ilian, and it will also play a very important role in promoting the upcoming eighth district. In addition, two local tycoons have established a new company with the George family and are directly targeting the theater trust. Their future tax payments will also become an important part of Ilian's economic construction.
He nodded extremely cautiously, regardless of the fact that he came here because he wanted to be lazy, "This news is very important and meaningful, but I have a question, what should I do about Ilian's holiday?"
Du Lin smiled calmly and said in a rather regretful tone: "Some accidents will always happen in this world, either to me or to you. Even God can't save everyone!"
Scott stood up immediately. Of course he knew what Dulin was talking about. None of these emerging capitalists are good, and both the old and new parties are very clear about this. Their pursuit and desire for money exceeds their respect for law and morality. As long as it is profitable and there are huge benefits, trampling on the law is as simple as taking a sip of water to them.
He nodded cautiously, "I think I already understand. I will tell the mayor the news immediately, and the equipment will be shipped as soon as possible!"
Dulin casually stuffed a thin card into Scott's hand, "This is a discount card from that jewelry store. It can only be used once."
Scott smiled, stuffed the card into his pocket, and then left.
He didn't think there was anything wrong with Du Lin's behavior. As imperial officials, they provided a favorable investment environment for these hungry wolf-like capitalists. It was not inappropriate for them to passively receive some self-evident benefits after paying so much. No big deal. At least in this regard they are much better than the old party. At least they won't take the initiative to speak, and they won't go too far.
