Chapter 105 Suffocating for Dreams
After sending Du Liang away, Xu Kun waited for another ten days.
Chen Xuebin always said that he was 'talking' and 'there is an opportunity', but Xu Kun couldn't just go on like this, otherwise when director Liu Heng was free to find a suitable crew for him, would he go or not?
Until noon on October 23rd.
Chen Xuebin called suddenly and excitedly said that he would take him to meet the big benefactor.
Xu Kun cleaned up briefly and then got into Chen Xuebin's Bora.
As soon as he sat down in the passenger seat, he couldn't wait to ask: "Brother Chen, where did the big benefactor you mentioned come from?"
"Here~"
Chen Xuebin handed Xu Kun a gold-gilt business card.
Xu Kun took a closer look and saw that it read: Jia Yueting, Chairman of Xibel Communication Technology Co., Ltd.
Hiss~~~
Xu Kun took a deep breath, almost suffocating for his dream.
Even if he was squatting in jail, he was still familiar with Jia Yueting's reputation as "returning to China next week".
This is a man who owes tens of billions in bad debts and can still live happily in the United States!
After being confused for a while, Xu Kun came to his senses and asked doubtfully: "Brother Chen, didn't you say you wanted to contact the coal boss? What the hell is this communications technology company?"
Chen Xuebin explained excitedly: "Boss Jia used to sell coal mining equipment in Shanxi. He has quite a lot of connections in the circle and knows many big bosses in coal mines.
He just moved his company to Beijing this year, and somehow he heard about us, so he took the initiative to come over and said that he was very interested in investing in the film and television industry, and also said that he wanted to chat with you in person! "
Xu Kun thought about it. Jia Yueting seemed to have started his career on a video website, so it would not be surprising that he is interested in the film and television industry.
This made him very excited. Although Jia Yueting failed in the end and was saddled with tens of billions of debts, before he failed completely, Boss Jia was also a famous figure in the capital circle.
The advantages of establishing a connection with him will definitely outweigh the disadvantages for at least ten years.
With such thoughts in mind, Xu Kun couldn't help but get excited. After getting out of the car, he tidied up his appearance before following Chen Xuebin into the teahouse.
In the past, we used to discuss things in restaurants, but recently it seems that more and more people are choosing teahouses. Another change is that the word "teacher" has begun to be abused in the circle. Even Xu Kun was called teacher when he went to have his acupoints checked.
"Director Chen."
As soon as he entered the gate, Jia Yueting greeted him personally.
When he returns to China next week, he is younger than Xu Kun imagined. He looks like he is not yet thirty years old, but he is full of confidence, and his every move seems to attract the attention of the audience.
After he greeted Chen Xuebin, he excitedly extended his hand to Xu Kun: "Mr. Xu, I have watched your performances in "The Blind Shaft", "Conquest", and "The Young Emperor" all night long in the past few days. Every one of them was amazing. It’s a classic!”
"Don't dare to take it seriously."
Xu Kun said modestly: "Actually, I have made a lot of bad anti-Japanese films, and I am known as the killing machine Xu Sang in the industry."
"Hahaha~"
Jia Yueting laughed loudly, grabbed Xu Kun and said, "Your brother is a cheerful person at first glance. It just so happens that I don't like to hide and tuck. Let's sit down, open the skylight, and talk openly!"
That's what Jia Yueting said, and he did the same after sitting down.
He went straight to the point and said that as long as Xu Kun can come up with a high-quality script and find a few famous actors to star in it, he can take the lead in investing 10 million in this trumped-up TV series.
This number shocked Chen Xuebin and Xu Kun.
Especially Chen Xuebin, he originally thought that Jia Yueting would be good if he could invest two to three million, but who knew that it would be ten million if he opened his mouth.
Xu Kun's estimate was higher, but it was only capped at 5 million. Now that he's going back to China next week, is that enough?
But I heard Jia Yueting continue: "I invested in this drama, firstly, I am optimistic about your development, Brother Xu; secondly, naturally there are some requirements - first of all, you must bring in no less than 100 yuan from your hometown. Secondly, this drama must be broadcast on Beijing Satellite TV. If it is not possible, it will be broadcast on local TV stations in Beijing. And I will be involved in the whole process when contacting Beijing TV. "
As soon as these three 'musts' and two 'strives' were spoken, Xu Kun understood what Jia Yueting was planning. He clearly hoped to use this drama as a springboard to establish a relationship with Beijing TV Station.
Moreover, he was afraid that Xu Kun was not worthy enough and would tie him to Xu Kun's hometown county.
For the original food delivery, Beijing TV Station owed Liu Heng, Xu Kun, and RY County a favor.
Among them, Liu Heng has received the rewards he wanted, and the county has also received certain rewards.
Xu Kun received the least reward, after all, he was only a supporting role in "The Young Emperor".
Jia Yueting just wants to spend money and use the remaining favors for his own use - and based on his connections in Shanxi, the money may not come from his own hands.
Xu Kun clarified his thoughts and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Mr. Jia, what are you trying to do by investing so much money to establish a connection with Beijing TV Station?"
"Is this..."
Jia Yueting smiled slightly and gave it away: "The mountain man has his own clever plan, but I'm afraid it won't work just by saying it."
Xu Kun lowered his head and took a sip of tea, and said casually: "You don't want to plan in advance to cooperate with Beijing TV Station to build a video website, right?"
Bang~
The teacup that Jia Yueting had just picked up fell to the table. He let the tea drip down his legs and said in shock: "You, how did you know?!"
He wanted to start a video website, which he had only recently come to the capital.
For this reason, he went to investigate specifically and found that not only domestically, but also abroad, there were no dedicated video websites - except for pornographic ones.
Because there was no precedent, Jia Yueting was hesitant to set this precedent, but he happened to find out about Xu Kun and what he was doing, and what he did during the epidemic, so he decided to take a gamble. .
Who would have thought that the secret he had hidden in his heart would be revealed by Xu Kun as soon as they met!
"I just guessed."
Xu Kun shrugged, as if it was a matter of course.
Chen Xuebin praised it in a timely manner: "The idea of sending loving-kind food to the capital was initiated by Kun'er. Before other places could react, the food from their county had already been sent to the TV station!"
Jia Yueting calmed down by wiping his pants, and then said with a carefree smile: "Brother Xu is indeed not an ordinary person, but I underestimated you - not for anything else, just for you, I invested this ten million It’s settled, I can invest more if necessary!”
Although he said it with great pride, he did not say that he would take back those two conditions.
Obviously, he still values the official background and rich film and television resources represented by Beijing and Taiwan more than Xu Kun.
Xu Kun doesn't care about this. Anyway, he will only be responsible for matchmaking. Whether he can truly establish a cooperative relationship with Beijing and Taiwan depends on Jia Yueting's own methods.
As for the county...
The 'safe food' he initiated was a great political achievement, and the main leaders in the county were praised for it. I heard that it will soon reach a higher level.
Xu Kun's request should not be rejected at this time.
The worst case scenario is that Xu Kun signs a gambling agreement. If the TV series he shoots loses money, he will pay back the original one million within five years.
Thinking of this, Xu Kun stood up and raised his palms to Jia Yueting: "Boss Jia, is this what we have settled on?"
"It's settled!"
Jia Yueting was overjoyed and immediately raised his palms to welcome him.
