"That must mean there are a lot of good scripts waiting for Xiao Wen to choose from."
Zhou Tao came in quietly and sat down next to Tong Wei, and everyone else also sat down.
Most of the people at the table were investors and directors from the entertainment industry, so Wen Qiao briefly introduced Zhou Tao and said, "This is a new artist signed by our company. If there is a suitable script, we can work together."
Naturally, everyone agreed.
With Lu Xu here, the atmosphere of the celebration party was quite good. Although he had only been in the circle for a short time, he knew quite a few directors and could chat with anyone.
Wen Qiao just listened quietly to them talking about things in the circle. He just felt that Zhou Tao was not very interested and would occasionally be absent-minded.
Lu Youyou stopped a waiter and asked around, then whispered to Wen Qiao, "Second Master Lu was also at Baoyan Tower today. He probably bumped into Zhou Tao just now. The couple doesn't seem to be getting along very well."
Wen Qiao nodded, the relationship between those two was indeed not very good.
Wen Qiao saw Zhou Tao drinking one glass after another, and while Fu Nanli was chatting with the people around him, he quietly sat next to Zhou Tao. Zhou Tao wanted to pour more wine, but Wen Qiao held her hand and said, "It's easy to get drunk if you drink too much."
Zhou Tao smiled at her and said, "I can drink quite well, I won't get drunk easily."
Wen Qiao pressed the bottle and said, "Then I'll ask the waiter to pack two bottles of red wine for you to take back later. You can drink them at home and go to sleep after you finish them, okay?"
Zhou Tao felt warm in her heart.
She had just signed with a company casually, just wanting to attract Lu Wenzhou's attention in this way, and she had no intention of opening up to anyone.
But she could sense that Wen Qiao was worried that she, a girl, would get into trouble if she got drunk.
It is ironic that she feels much more warmth from outsiders than from her husband.
The director of [Summer Sky] smiled and asked Fu Nanli: "Mr. Fu, do you have any expectations for the box office of this movie?"
Fu Nanli held up the wine glass and chuckled, "Let my Qiaoer pick a number."
Wen Qiao: "I told my company before that with five Golden Lion nominations, I estimate the box office to be 500 million."
The film and television industry bosses and directors all applauded, "With Xiao Wen's words, a box office of 500 million will definitely be within reach."
"Mr. Fu, do you want to stay up late tonight to watch the box office?"
Someone else laughed and said, "How could Master Fu be so upset? The profit of this movie is definitely several times the cost. Master Fu's first official investment in a movie has achieved such a great success. He can definitely rest easy now."
Fu Nanli just smiled.
There was a great atmosphere at the banquet, with clinking glasses and toasting each other.
In the second half of the dinner, a man came to the next private room. He was also a rich young man from Haicheng. His name was Xue Lin, and he was the CEO of Hailin, the largest entertainment company in China. The company was full of big names, many of whom were movie emperors and actresses.
It just so happens that a commercial blockbuster is going to be released tomorrow.
Xue Lin walked up to Fu Nanli holding a wine glass and said with a smile, "The cinema chain is really something. It's the first movie invested by Master Fu, but they didn't give me more screenings. They insisted on giving my movie the same high screenings. It just so happens that Master Lu is also at Baoyan Tower today. I'll talk to him later. At least the difference can't be so big. They gave me 30% of the screenings and only gave you, Master Fu, 19%. Isn't this looking down on me?"
Fu Nanli's smile did not reach his eyes. Wen Qiao beside him smiled and said, "Summer Sky is an art film. It is quite appropriate for an art film to have such a high box office. It mainly depends on the attendance rate tomorrow. Movies with high attendance rates will be scheduled higher, and movies with low attendance rates will be scheduled lower. I hope you can maintain your high schedule."
