Hearing Angel's words, Mu Chenhao was obviously taken aback, with a wry smile on his face, but he still tried his best to speak tactfully, "Angel, you see we have to meet guests later, what if this smells like barbecue?" , It doesn’t seem too good. We’ll treat you to something else tonight.
Okay, by the way, do you want to invite Professor Zhu to come with you? "
Angel showed a little disappointment, but recovered quickly, shook his head and said, "I don't think it's necessary. Professor Zhu doesn't like socializing, otherwise he wouldn't have decided to see you at home. After dinner, Let's go together." Originally, Mu Chenhao wanted Xia Qingkong to go back and rest first after eating. Little Tomato and Little Potato were also used to falling asleep to the sound of Xia Qingkong's stories at night, but they thought of the strange thing the angel had just done. I'm afraid she might feel a little uncomfortable being alone with her. In order to avoid causing any discomfort,
Necessary misunderstanding, Mu Chenhao decided to let Xia Qingkong accompany him.
Xia Qingkong was naturally very smart, but she didn't point it out. Instead, she talked and laughed with Angel all the way. She also introduced many interesting things about Mu Chenhao at home, and also showed Angel many cute photos of little tomatoes and little potatoes. .
In fact, Xia Qingkong also told the angel some information in disguise, so that the angel could understand that Mu Chenhao and her were the happiest couple.
Because he didn't want to be exposed to the smell of barbecue, Mu Chenhao finally took Xia Qingkong and Angel to a Japanese restaurant. Angel also knew about this restaurant, but because the price was relatively expensive, she had never been there.
Since Mu Chenhao was treating him this time, the angel was no longer polite. Salmon, Kobe beef, tuna sushi... In short, he had a great meal. Looking at the angel's appearance, Mu Chenhao couldn't help but laugh.
After finishing the meal, Angel took Mu Chenhao and Xia Qingkong, and after more than an hour's drive, they finally arrived at Professor Zhu's home.
Professor Zhu looked to be in his fifties, with a retro oiled hair. When he saw Mu Chenhao and the others, he politely invited them to his home.
Although Professor Zhu's home is located in a downtown area, the interior decoration has a classicist aesthetic. The retro wooden furniture and calligraphy and paintings on the walls make the whole home full of literary and artistic atmosphere.
On the wall just after entering the house, there were many photos of Professor Zhu, including many famous directors and actors. Mu Chenhao kept praising them when he saw them.
After the angel introduced Professor Zhu, Professor Zhu saw that Mu Chenhao was very young and couldn't help but asked with some suspicion, "Are you Mr. Mu? Do you want to make a movie?"
Mu Chenhao knew that Professor Zhu must be a little surprised because he was too young, so he smiled and said, "Professor Zhu, I am Mu Chenhao, the president of Mu Group. In terms of strength, I think you don't need to worry at all. of."
Professor Zhu did not answer, but turned to look at the angel, "Girl, is this Mr. Mu you have been praising me for? He is indeed a talented person!"
Looking at his eyes, Xia Qingkong knew that Professor Zhu must have misunderstood, so he said calmly, "Professor Zhu, I am Xia Qingkong, Chen Hao's wife. I have admired your name for a long time!"
When he heard that Xia Qingkong said she was Mu Chenhao's wife, Professor Zhu suddenly smiled awkwardly.
The angel also stuck out her tongue playfully, but her cheeks were also blushing. Mu Chenhao smiled bitterly and shook his head, but he also knew that the angel had good intentions, so he said respectfully but not condescendingly, "Professor Zhu, I do intend to invest in the film and television industry, but although I have this intention, for this aspect, I am basically a newbie, so this time I come,
I just want Professor Zhu to give me some guidance. "
"So how much money do you want to invest to make this movie?" Professor Zhu sat down and first asked about the investment amount.
Of course, Mu Chenhao would not hold anything back, but answered honestly, "We may not be able to compare with Hollywood, but domestically, I am going to invest 200 million to prepare for the filming first, so I can take a look at this How deep is the water in this industry?”
"Two hundred million!"
Upon hearing this number, Professor Zhu's eyes lit up, "What a big deal!"
It’s no wonder that Professor Zhu is like this. The domestic film industry has become a boom, but it is still full of low-cost and inferior scripts. They generally invest several million, and at most they only get one or two million. .
This kind of movie generally attracts a lot of criticism and scolding. Although many of them make money, such movies and TV dramas are inevitably somewhat shoddy. Some of them cannot be shown in theaters at all and can only be disseminated through online platforms. For these, Professor Zhu doesn’t like it at all.
In fact, although Professor Zhu is Angel's mentor, there is another layer of relationship that Angel did not talk about.
Professor Zhu always didn't like to care about such things, but Angel's father happened to be good friends with him, so when Angel came to ask, he also gave Angel's father a chance to meet Mu Chenhao.
Originally, he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just a joke by a rich man, but when he heard that Mu Chenhao actually wanted to spend 200 million to make a movie, it would be considered a top-notch blockbuster in China. So Professor Zhu was immediately interested.
"If we can really invest 200 million, we can make some big-budget action movies or science fiction movies. Such movies can be sold internationally and the box office should be good."
Seeing Professor Zhu's excited expression, Mu Chenhao also felt relieved, and immediately hit the ground running while the iron was hot, "I also heard from the angel that Professor Zhu has a high status in the film industry. Please give me some guidance." Haha..." Professor Zhu glanced at the angel and said with a smile, "This girl will brag for me. It's okay if I give lectures, but if I go to the front line, I can't afford the hardship. But I can do it. I'll give you some advice on some aspects, if you don't mind my verbosity.
If so, I'd be happy to help. "
Mu Chenhao was overjoyed after hearing this, "Professor Zhu, I will now officially hire you as the senior consultant of my Sweet Orange Pictures. Please agree!"
"Sure, I promise you!" Professor Zhu agreed to Mu Chenhao because Mu Chenhao could come up with such funds. On the other hand, the angel kept winking at the side, looking like he was begging him to agree. Professor Zhu was also very interesting to watch. He also liked this friend’s daughter very much, so in the end
Agree. Then Mu Chenhao chatted a lot with Professor Zhu. Professor Zhu also admired Mu Chenhao, a young and promising young man with unique ideas, so he also gave Mu Chenhao a lot of guidance and let Mu Chenhao listen. He benefited a lot, but Professor Zhu was old after all, and it was not convenient for Mu Chenhao to disturb him too late, so he took Xia Qingkong and Angel and left after drinking a pot of tea.
