Chapter 441: Chinese culture is the best

Panel attribute growth?
This is the second time Shen Lang has encountered such an opportunity.

The last time was still because of the "handsome halo".

This...if it can improve your physical fitness, make you feel healthier and enjoy your meals more, then of course it would be OK.

But if you were to top up the 97 points of appearance a little more, it would really be a waste of time.

However, Lao Lu has always liked to do this kind of shit.

Forget it, let’s just deal with the present!
Although I have decided to participate in Shochiku Film's film shooting plan, I still need to maintain the necessary reserve.

Otherwise, if you agree without hesitation, you will appear cheap.

Shen Lang pretended to be silent and said, "I have already sensed the sincerity of Shochiku Eiga, and I am very grateful to Mr. Kobayashi for inviting me here!"

"Mr. Kobayashi, I don't know much about Japanese film companies, but I do know Toho, Toei, Kadokawa, Nikkatsu, and your Shochiku Films."

"But recently I seem to have heard from some friends in the industry that although Shochiku is also a century-old film company, its situation does not seem to be very good!"

Kobayashi Michiru and Sato's faces suddenly changed when they heard this, especially the president of Xiaolingtong. His round face, which was originally full of smiles, suddenly showed embarrassment.

Shen Lang originally wanted to trick the other party because of the mission, to see what kind of trouble the other party was facing.

But after seeing the other person's face, I knew that the situation might be worse than I expected.

Sure enough, after looking at Han Zhiyu and others in the office, Kobayashi Michi suddenly stood up and bowed deeply to Shen Lang.

His action left everyone present a little confused.

"President Kobayashi, what are you doing..."

Xiao Lintong said to Shen Lang: "Shen Sang, you are right. Our Shochiku Film Company has been on the verge of bankruptcy over the years due to the quality of its films and the joint efforts of its competitors!"

"Bankruptcy?" Shen Lang frowned.

Xiao Lin blushed and said, "Yes, I'm really sorry. The company has cash flow problems and shareholders have withdrawn their capital on a large scale. Now the company is almost at the end of its rope!"

I've reached the end of my rope, so you two are planning to take advantage of me for free?

Shen Lang was almost speechless.

Although I am not short of money, I cannot let others take advantage of my hard work for free.

He was about to refuse when he suddenly remembered that Lao Lu's mission had already been issued.

Damn it, if I refuse, I might be wiped out by the system!

……

"Mr. Shen, we really came here with great sincerity this time. The difficulty that Shochiku Film is facing now is not the encirclement and suppression by its peers!"

"But there hasn't been an influential work in these years!"

“If I can produce good works, I am confident that I can convince investors and shareholders to come back again!”

"As for you, I have been observing you for a long time. Any film you choose to participate in, whether it is domestic or foreign, will always achieve great success."

"So, I'm putting all my money on you. I beg you to help me!"

After saying that, Xiaolin bowed deeply again. This time, Sato beside him also stood up, accompanied the president, and shouted loudly in Chinese: "Shen Sang, please!"

Han Zhiyu and Ting Xianghao did not understand Japanese, but seeing their situation, they knew that the negotiations were not going smoothly.

The negotiations were not going well. In Han Zhiyu's opinion, the only reason they couldn't agree on the price was because they were not on the right track.

So Han Zhiyu smiled and said in English: "You two, before this, I have invited Mr. Shen to participate in the movie invested by my company - "Train to Busan 2". Mr. Shen's performance fee is 300 million US dollars."

He made this statement lightly, but when he mentioned the 300 million, he wanted to bold, underline, and highlight it on his tongue.

Sure enough, when they heard the $300 million, the two Japanese people's faces changed drastically.

Xiao Lintong, who had been trying hard to beg Shen Lang for help, looked pale and seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

Sato, who was standing by, clenched his fists tightly and felt very sad.

Seeing this, Han Zhiyu couldn't help but smile proudly and said, "Teacher Shen, how is it? Working with the best director in Asia, our Dabang Republic's Ting Xianghao, will make your career better!"

"Three million dollars. If you're still not satisfied, I can personally promise you an additional two hundred thousand dollars in signing fee, not only through the company!"

"How is it? I have shown my utmost sincerity!"

"I believe Mr. Shen will not refuse for the sake of money, right?"

Hearing this, Shen Lang turned to look at Han Zhiyu. He smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Han, the price you offered is indeed good."

"For other Asian actors, this price is simply irresistible!"

"But..." Shen Lang picked up the contract and looked at it, then shook his head and said, "I'm not an ordinary Asian actor!"

Han Zhiyu was shocked when he heard this. He stood up and glared at Shen Lang, saying, "Mr. Shen, I've already offered a sky-high price. This is not Hollywood, and you are not Jack Cheng. Even if you are Jack Cheng, you only earned tens of millions of dollars after working hard in Hollywood for several years. Don't ask for too much!"

Shen Lang was not excited by Han Zhiyu's excitement, and his voice was still calm: "I think Mr. Han misunderstood me!"

After saying that, he looked at Ting Xianghao standing beside him and said as tactfully as possible: "Maybe this movie will have good box office in the future, but this is not the style I like!"

"The reason why I say I am not an ordinary Asian actor is not to raise my own status, but to tell you that when I, Shen Lang, act, I always choose the roles, not the roles that choose me! Do you understand?"

What the hell? In Han Zhiyu's opinion, there is no actor who can be so calm as to watch a huge sum of money pass by him.

Shen Lang's behavior is just an excuse for him to add more pressure.

"Four million! Four million dollars! Mr. Shen, I want to emphasize that the reason you can get this extra million is not because no one in our country can replace you, but because Director Jung Sang-ho admires you very much and has repeatedly asked the company..."

Ting Xianghao also persuaded, "Yes, Mr. Shen, five million is not a small amount. With the first movie, this "Train to Busan 2" will definitely be a big hit at the box office."

Seeing this, Shen Lang finally frowned and became impatient.

"You two, I'm not interested in this play, please go back!"

"What? You actually refused? Shen Lang, do you think that no one in our country can act in this drama? Let me tell you, our Korean wave is the top wave in Asia, understand? We have many good actors in our country!"

Shen Lang shrugged and said in Chinese: "What the hell is Korean Wave? What else can you do besides giving your American dad a big blow in any occasion? Chinese Wave - is the coolest."

Han Zhiyu was stunned when he heard this: "What did you say?"

"Oh, I think Korean Wave is really good!"
