Chapter 56 Talking about Cooperation

The script was passed on, and Peng Mo and his wife, as well as Shen Lang, all knew that it would be impossible to get results so quickly.

But the three of them still felt a little uninspired when looking at the delicious food in front of them.

"Teacher Shen, when do you think we can get news?" Peng Mo took a bite of food, put it to his mouth but didn't eat it. He looked at Shen Lang with expectation.

Before Shen Lang could reply, Pan Jie blamed her husband and said, "You are a person who can't wait for the roast shrimp to become popular. Can you let Teacher Shen have a meal in peace? Anyway, whether it works or not, we should be grateful to Teacher Shen for helping us!"

ten minutes later……

Pan Jie: "Teacher Shen, I don't know if Peng Mo's script will work. It's hard to predict the market's taste now..."

Shen Lang: "..."

Are these two sure they are here to treat me to a meal?

He sighed and was about to speak when his phone suddenly rang.

The eyes of Peng Mo and Pan Jie suddenly turned like those of tigers and wolves in the deep mountains and old forests at night, so bright that Shen Lang's hair stood on end.

"Let me take a look, let me take a look, don't be in a hurry!" Shen Lang quickly took out his mobile phone.

"It's President Han calling..." Shen Lang took a look at the caller ID and reported to the couple.

"Shh!"

"Shush, don't talk!"

Shen Lang pressed the answer button, and Han Ping's familiar laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Teacher Shen, I've read the script. Is it convenient for us to talk now?"

Shen Lang looked at the couple, only to see them nodding excitedly.

"Ah, it's convenient for me! Mr. Han, you decide!"

Han Ping smiled and said on the other end of the phone: "It's like this, a friend of mine just happened to see your script, and he wants to talk to you about it!"

"Really?" Shen Lang didn't expect such an unexpected situation to happen, but he still said politely, "Okay, Mr. Han's friends are my friends, Shen Lang, let's chat for a while!"

After a while of rustling, a voice with a Hong Kong accent suddenly came from the phone: "Is this Mr. Shen? I'm your fan, my name is Liu Dehua!"

Shen Lang looked at Peng Mo and his wife in surprise.

The couple looked confused, waiting for Shen Lang's next words. What does this expression of yours, Shen Lang, mean?
"It's Mr. Liu, hello!"

Liu Dehua on the other side said, "Teacher Shen, I recently registered a film and television company and want to invest in six works by new directors across Asia. I just read the script you sent to President Han, and I am very interested..."

While he was speaking, Shen Lang had already turned on the speakerphone.

After hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Peng Mo's eyes brightened.

Especially Peng Mo, the grievances and self-denial that had accumulated for so long shattered his self-esteem as a man in an instant. His eyes suddenly turned red and tears flowed unconsciously.

Upon hearing this, Shen Lang calmed down and said, "The author of the script is a friend of mine. He used to be engaged in drama and theater research. His scriptwriting ability is among the best in the mainland. I admire Mr. Liu's eye for selecting scripts!"

This one sentence praised both Peng Mo and Liu Dehua.

Peng Mo wiped his tears and nodded silently at Shen Lang, as if to say, "Brother, I won't say anything more. From now on, we will..."

Liu Dehua also smiled and said on the other end of the phone: "Teacher Shen, thank you for your recognition..., but I have three things to explain to you!" Upon hearing that there were conditions, Shen Lang and the Peng Mo couple immediately focused their minds and listened carefully.

“First of all, I’m very optimistic about the script of the film, but the director needs to be re-employed!”

The first condition was so sharp that Shen Lang looked up at Peng Mo, only to see Peng Mo biting his lips and nodding heavily after a moment.

"Director Peng is sitting across from me. He wants to know who is the director you want for his play?"

When Peng Mo heard Shen Lang's words, he was a little surprised at first, then he nodded to Shen Lang with emotion.

Shen Lang did not agree to the investor immediately, but asked who the director was first. This was the greatest respect for Peng Mo, who originally expected to be a director.

Liu Dehua said: "My friend, Ning is fine!"

Shen Lang was stunned. Ning Hao? Ning Hao, the producer of "All or Nothing", what do you think of this incident?

There is no need to mention Ning Hao's fame in the circle. Although he is not as famous as those big directors, he is also a leading figure among the fifth generation of directors in China.

When Peng Mo heard that it was Ning Hao, he nodded repeatedly.

Asking Ning Hao to take the photos at least won’t waste his efforts, and he is very satisfied!
Seeing Peng Mo agreed, Shen Lang nodded and said, "Director Peng temporarily approves this plan. What else?"

Liu Dehua said: "Because I am investing in six movies in Asia at the same time, the funds are tight, so I can only invest 3 million. I will also cooperate with Mr. Han's company. Mr. Han will replace me and become the producer of this film!!!"

As a producer, Han Ping had no problem with this, but Liu Dehua could only invest 3 million, which really surprised Peng Mo. He took the phone and talked to Liu Dehua directly: "Mr. Liu, I am Peng Mo, the creator of this script. 3 million is too little. If we divide it among the actors, we can't afford to hire big-name actors at all!"

Liu Dehua was very polite on the other end of the phone, but what he said was unquestionable: "If you can't afford big-name actors, then you can hire unknown actors. Doesn't Mr. Peng have confidence in his script?"

"This……"

Shen Lang took the phone from Peng Mo at this time and said directly: "Mr. Liu, you are right. Three million can be overcome!"

He remembered the movie "Crazy Stone" in his previous life. The initial investment was 5 million, but in the end only 3 million was realized. What does this mean?
This means that three million is definitely enough, but it’s just a stretch.

Peng Mo wanted to say something after hearing this, but Pan Jie beside him poked her husband, and he shut up and didn't object.

Shen Lang then seemed to explain to Peng Mo and Liu Dehua: "If this play is short of actors, I am willing to join the crew for free!"

When Peng Mo and Pan Jie heard this, they were immediately moved.

"Teacher Shen, this is not good!"

"Teacher Shen, friendship is friendship, but brothers still have to settle accounts clearly..."

Liu Dehua on the other end of the phone was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Teacher Shen, this is the third condition I put forward. If I were the investor of this play, I hope you could participate in this play!"

If other actors were asked this request by Liu Dehua, they would have cursed in their hearts even without saying it out loud.

Who doesn't work from dawn to dusk for a bite to eat?
How? You want to get me for free without spending any money? Grandma!
But Shen Lang was different. Upon hearing this invitation, he said without hesitation: "Mr. Liu is Mr. Han's friend, so he is my friend. Director Peng and his wife are also old acquaintances of mine. I have no choice but to accept this invitation!"

Liu Dehua was deeply moved after hearing this: "Don't worry, Mr. Shen, it's not in vain. If the movie makes a profit, you, as the main creator and assistant director of the movie, can take a 10% dividend from the profit, after tax!"

Shen Lang didn't expect such a good thing to happen.

What the hell is he thinking?
Just do it!
