Chapter 19 500 million, I bought this script
"Fuck, Cheng Cheng, did you really write this script?"
The next day, Jiang Nan called and asked impatiently as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Girls shouldn't say 'damn', it's not cute." Cheng Cheng didn't answer immediately, but seriously corrected Jiang Nan's habit of speaking.
Jiang Nan's attention was diverted: "What the hell am I going to say if you don't tell me?"
Cheng Cheng: "If you want to accuse me, I will sue you."
Jiang Nan was so upset: "You are sick!"
Then, she couldn't wait to ask, "Tell me, did you write the script?"
Cheng Cheng said: "Of course I wrote the script."
Jiang Nan was very skeptical: "Why didn't I realize you had this ability before? And you haven't learned it before. Did you buy the script from somewhere?"
"Alas~", Cheng Cheng sighed sadly, "In the past, people only paid attention to my extraordinary appearance, but ignored my inner self. I am a talented screenwriter, director, singer, writer and chef who was delayed by idol stardom."
"Okay, okay, stop it!" Jiang Nan didn't believe it at all. "I can't make calls to so many people!"
Cheng Cheng: "Do you think someone will write a script for me in my current situation?"
Jiang Nan thought for a moment and said, "That's true~ So you really wrote the script?"
Cheng Cheng said: "It's absolutely genuine."
Jiang Nan shouted excitedly, "That's great, Cheng Cheng, can you let me play the leading female role? I really want to act in it! I haven't acted in a movie yet!"
"I do want to!" Cheng Cheng said calmly, "But you know the current situation. If you act in my movie, you will probably be criticized, which is very disadvantageous to you."
Jiang Nan said stubbornly: "I don't care, just tell me to act!"
"How about this," Cheng Cheng discussed with her, "Forget about this movie. When there's a chance and my reputation stabilizes, I'll ask you to be the leading actress again?"
After hesitating for a few seconds, Jiang Nan agreed.
She knew that playing the lead role in All or Nothing was unrealistic.
Not to mention whether the agency agrees or not, even her father would not agree.
"Okay! Let's make a deal. I've reserved you as the heroine of a movie! You can't go back on your word!"
Cheng Cheng smiled and said, "Of course, I will never regret it!"
Jiang Nan said: "Okay, I'll go and convince my dad now, you wait for my good news!"
-
The Jiang family that Jiang Nan belongs to has several branches. The branch of Jiang Nan's father Jiang Wang is mainly engaged in the cinema chain business. It is a comprehensive enterprise integrating cinema investment, construction, operation and management, and owns four cinema brands.
Moreover, Jiang Wang is very ambitious and is not content to just work in the downstream industry. In recent years, he has also been investing in film and television, and has attracted several big directors to try to integrate the upstream and downstream of the film and television industry.
This is also the reason why Cheng Cheng wants Jiang Nan to persuade her father to help him with publicity and promotion.
"Dad, this is the dry-fried pomfret I learned from a famous teacher. It's your favorite dish. Come and try it!"
Jiang Nan pushed Jiang Wang from behind and pushed him to the table.
Jiang Wang is a middle-aged man in his forties, with black and white hair, a tall figure, and a very elegant temperament.
From his aging face, we can tell that he was a handsome guy when he was young, and even now, he is still an elegant and handsome old man.
At this moment, he looked at the "dark cuisine" in front of him with some doubts.
Jiang Nan urged, "Dad, try it quickly. I made it myself."
“You’ll feel scared if you do it yourself!” He thought so in his heart, but didn’t dare to say it out loud. Why?
"Nannan, if you have something to say, just say it. If you don't, Daddy really doesn't dare to eat~"
Jiang Nan pouted and said, "Dad, what are you talking about? Is there any other purpose for my daughter to honor you? What do you think of me?"
Jiang Wang's mouth twitched and he thought, who are you and your father? Don't I know you?
Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing!
However, seeing his daughter's sad look, he still picked up his chopsticks to taste it, and willingly jumped into the trap.
Jiang Nan looked at him expectantly, blinking his eyes, and asked cutely, "Dad, how is it? Is it delicious?"
"It's quite delicious." Jiang Wang almost broke his years of Qi-nourishing skills. He drank a sip of water without making a sound and said seriously, "Now that I've eaten, can I tell you?"
Jiang Nan was really angry, and cried out coquettishly: "Dad! Why are you like this? You don't trust me at all?!"
But the next second, her pretty face smiled like a flower, and she said with a playful smile:
"But I really need help from Dad~" As she said that, she spread out the map of Yan State, handed the script that had been printed long ago to her father, and said, "Dad, I have a script here for you to take a look~"
Jiang Wang showed an expression that said "I knew this a long time ago", took the script helplessly, sighed, and started reading.
At first, he looked a little nonchalant, thinking that his daughter had just had a sudden idea and had found a script that had been used several times from somewhere. But the more he read it, the more serious he became. In the end, he was even a little surprised and asked:
"Where did you get this script?"
Jiang Nan saw that his father had been attracted by the script, and said happily: "Dad, this script is good, right? My daughter is not a child, how could I hand you an unreliable script!"
Jiang Wang said: "This script does have potential. There are very few anti-fraud themes in China, and the story is very complete, but——"
He looked at his daughter suspiciously: "How did this script come into your hands?"
Jiang Nan looked a little unnatural, and smiled awkwardly, "It was written by my friend. He was short of funds, so he came to me."
"Tell me, who is it?" Jiang Wang keenly sensed something was wrong and pressed, "Anyone who can write a script like this, even the format is impeccable, can't be an unknown person, he should have a few years of experience in the industry. Logically, this kind of script should not come to me through you."
Jiang Nan looked at the ground and rubbed his right foot on the ground: "He's my friend~"
Jiang Wang continued to ask: "Which friend?"
Jiang Nan whispered: "Cheng Cheng."
Jiang Wang: "Who!?"
"Cheng Cheng!" Jiang Nan said anxiously, "Dad, even though he's in trouble now, he definitely has talent!"
Jiang Wang didn't say a word, just looked at Jiang Nan quietly.
Jiang Nan slowly closed her mouth. Before Jiang Wang said a word, she started to explain hurriedly, which in itself proved the problem.
Jiang Wang said earnestly, "Nannan, it's not that Dad doesn't want to help you, the problem is that Cheng Cheng has been soft-banned now. He has offended too many people, including investors, industry seniors, and the audience."
"But Cheng Cheng did nothing wrong? He clearly didn't cheat! Those bad guys deserve to be sued, Cheng Cheng can't be blamed, Cheng Cheng did nothing wrong!" Jiang Nan retorted anxiously.
"But this society doesn't talk about right or wrong~" Jiang Wang looked at his daughter with some pity. He would rather his daughter live in a fairy-tale world and remain pure and kind forever, but this world is dirty, and he has to tell her these sinister truths. "Besides, you can only know a person's face but not his heart. Do you know that Cheng Cheng is innocent? At best, you two are just friends."
Jiang Nan was speechless and just looked at his father stubbornly.
Jiang Wang changed the subject and said, "How about this, I bought the script and can give him 5 million, which is enough for him to live on for the rest of his life, but this script has nothing to do with him anymore."
"No!" Jiang Nan flatly refused and begged, "Dad, this script is Cheng Cheng's hope for rise. As a friend, I can't wipe it out."
Jiang Wang said: "Why don't you go ask him first? What if he agrees?"
Jiang Nan shook his head like a rattle and said, "No! Don't even ask him! I know he won't agree, and I won't throw this difficult problem to him."
She stepped forward, took Jiang Wang's arm, and shook him:
"Dad, you should be grateful to me for the delicious fish I made for you. Can you please agree to my request? Besides, the conditions he proposed are very attractive. We don't need to take care of the filming and editing in the early stage. As long as we help with the promotion, we will get 30% of the commission! That's a lot of money!"
Sure enough, the fish was not eaten in vain.
Jiang Wang looked at his daughter seriously and asked, "Nannan, are you sure you want to help him this time? If I don't agree, will you help him with your own money?"
Jiang Nan nodded his head: "I will definitely help him. If dad doesn't help me, I will give him my own money!"
"Okay!" Jiang Wang said, "Then I will help him this time, but my daughter, remember clearly that Dad is not doing this for him, but for you. After helping him this time, you must draw a clear line with him. Do you agree?"
Ah this
Jiang Nan blinked and tried to bargain: "What if he succeeds this time?"
Jiang Wang said: "Success is one thing, but if you fail, you can no longer have any dealings with him!"
Jiang Nan said: "Okay, I agree!"
As she said that, she kissed her father on the cheek in one breath, and skipped off to tell Cheng Cheng the good news.
Jiang Wang looked at Jiang Nan's excited back and sighed:
Oh, this leaky little cotton jacket~
Of course he knew that given his daughter's personality, the promise he had just made was completely invalid and she would have plenty of reasons to go back on her word in the future, but he didn't care at all.
The script is one thing, filming it is another!
He didn't think highly of Cheng Cheng's attempt at all.
Instead, she wanted to take this opportunity to let her daughter recognize Cheng Cheng's true nature and let her daughter recognize the difference between her father and other men:
Dad will give her everything she wants, protect all her wishes, cherish her and make her successful; while the men outside will only deceive her, hurt her and use her.
This is a war between two men.
My daughter~
Don't try to trick your dad for other men anymore~
Jiang Wang picked up his chopsticks, ate the fish in one sip of water and one sip of fish at a time, and finished the fish. He sighed in his heart:
Cooking a dish for dad is because of another man. Dad is really sad~
