Chapter 442 Do I have to pay out of my own pocket to film for the Japanese?

Han Zhiyu was angered by Shen Lang's indifferent attitude, and finally slammed the door and walked out without caring about his image.

Ting Xianghao stayed and said to Shen Lang: "Teacher Shen, are you really not optimistic about my movie?"

Shen Lang said bluntly: "If you keep this creative attitude in the future, I think you will regret it!"

Upon hearing this, Ting Xianghao blushed and said goodbye.

At this time, there were only three people left in the room.

Sato saw the two Koreans leave with unhappy faces. Although he couldn't understand Korean, he could read people's expressions.

It’s obvious that Shen Lang didn’t negotiate the contract well with the other party.

Wouldn't that be...

"Shen Sang, can I know the other party's conditions?" Sato pointed outside the door.

Shen Lang laughed and said, "For the sequel to Train to Busan, the other party offered me a salary of 400 million US dollars!"

"what?"

"Nani?"

Four million dollars.

When they heard this number, Kobayashi and Sato turned pale.

Not to mention Shochiku which was on the brink of financial collapse, even Toho would probably have difficulty in spending 5 million to invite a leading actor.

This is not to say that a big company like Toho cannot afford the money, but because the market consumption capacity determines that they cannot get the money back at all.

The two felt bitter. Japanese films before the 80s were also wealthy and influential.

But in recent years, South Korea has caught up and the Korean Wave has become influential not only in Asia but also in the world.

The other party dares to pay the actors such high salaries because they can recover the investment in the international market.

And they... Shochiku Eiga, a film company on the verge of bankruptcy, what can they use to attract Shen Lang?

Thinking of this, the two felt a little disappointed and even ashamed of themselves.

President Kobayashi saw that things had come to this point and there was no point in saying more, so he stood up and saluted, saying, "Mr. Shen, this visit is really intrusive, I hope you can forgive me!"

"We won't bother you anymore!"

When Shen Lang saw the two were about to leave, he was a little surprised. If you leave, what will I do with my mission?
Lao Lu specifically asked your company to cooperate with him in filming this movie.

"Oh no, I was shocked by the $400 million!"

But now that things have come to this, Shen Lang would be slapping himself in the face if he tried to keep him.

He thought for a moment and said, "You two, I am very touched by your sincerity, but I still need some time to think about it. So, let's eat first, and then I will arrange for you to stay. After I think about it, I will tell you the result."

Kobayashi and Sato did not expect such an unexpected turn of events.

But soon, the two looked at each other and understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

Shen Lang's attempt to keep him was just a polite remark. The Chinese have always been hospitable, and it seems to be a Chinese tradition to offer a meal and keep guests for two days.

In other words, the final result will not be any surprises!
but……

Xiao Lin said: "Thank you very much, Mr. Shen. I just have something to deal with in China! We are waiting for your news!"

……

Shen Lang called Xiao Zhuli and said, "Let's take you to the hotel first, and then go to the restaurant we booked for lunch! Get a car from the company in the next two days, and take care of them wherever they want to go!"

Shen Lang did this because he was afraid that the other person would really run away!
Hearing this, Xiao Zhuli muttered, "There is no good job for me. Since you had Wang Yanni, Brother Lang, don't you feel that you have alienated me?"

Seeing Xiao Zhuli's tearful expression, Shen Lang raised his foot and said, "Get out of here quickly! Why are you talking so much?"

Xiao Zhuli said reluctantly: "It's okay for others, but I feel uncomfortable with those who have a good life!"

……

In fact, Shen Lang could understand Xiao Zhuli's mood. If it weren't for Xiao Lin's identity as the president, Shen Lang would not want to talk too much with him. The next day, Gu Jialan saw Shen Lang and said to him, "Wang Zhuo said he was going on a business trip today, and you weren't filming, so where was he going?"

Shen Lang was stunned when he heard this, then he thought, maybe Xiao Lintong and the other person wanted to go out for a walk?

So he told Gu Jialan about the situation.

Gu Jialan nodded and said, "You must be cautious about Japan's invitation. It's very sensitive. I suggest you wait for them to come back and reject them directly!"

Shen Lang took her hand and held her in his arms: "But I'm ready to agree to them!"

"What?" Gu Jialan pushed Shen Lang away, looking incredulous. "Do you know that netizens are very sensitive when it comes to information related to Japan?"

Shen Lang nodded and said, "I know. I think there should be more rational people, right?"

"you……"

At this moment, Shen Lang received a call. It turned out to be from Xiao Zhuli. He pressed the answer button and asked, "Where have you been?"

The other side said: "Brother Lang, I have great intelligence to report to you!"

"..."

"I feel like I'm a little out of my mind these past two days! Guess where we are now?"

"where?"

“Check WeChat!”

"wipe!"

Shen Lang sat on the sofa holding Gu Jialan and opened WeChat - Wang Zhuo. Damn, what caught his eyes was the sexy pictures shared by Wang Zhuo.

"This Wang Zhuo, he shares these with me every day, but I never, ahem, never watch them!"

"Humph!"

Shen Lang quickly deleted the pornographic picture and then clicked on the latest video sent below.

The picture shows a square, and on the screen wall of the square it is written "300000 victims"!
Kobayashi Michiru and Sato bowed deeply in front of the words, then put their hands together as if praying for something.

Shen Lang and Gu Jialan were both stunned when they saw this scene.

They didn't expect that the other party, as a Japanese, would actually go to that place in Jinling City.

After the video ended, Gu Jialan was silent for a moment and then nodded to Shen Lang: "I take back what I just said!"

Shen Lang smiled, then pressed the button to talk to Wang Zhuo: "Bring the two Japanese back and tell them that I agree to cooperate with them in filming a movie."

After saying that, Shen Lang turned to look at Gu Jialan and said, "Boss Gu, Shochiku Films is having a hard time these days. I guess you'll have to pay for the investment in filming the movie!"

Gu Jialan glanced at Shen Lang in a reproachful manner: "Just tell me how much you want!"

Shen Lang smiled and said, "You are willing to only get back the principal without making any profit?"

Gu Jialan waved his hand as he turned to leave: "The company is yours too, you can make your own decisions."

"Okay, okay, do you think I've succeeded in living off someone who's your freeloader? Tiger of Jialan, congratulations!"

……

When Xiao Lintong and the other arrived at the imperial capital again, after listening to Shen Lang's narration, they felt as if they were in a dream.

"Shen Sang, did I hear correctly?"

"Shen Sang, you said that we don't need to pay any money, and you only need to get back the principal in the end?"

"why?"

Shen Lang shrugged: "No reason, it's just that we Chinese people are never stingy with our true friends!"

Then, he took out the script of "Departures" that he had cashed in with his fan box and handed it to the other party, saying: "I have also prepared the script. How about we talk about the actors?"
