At about half past seven, Cheng Long rushed back, greeted each other, chatted for a few words, and immediately took Zhang Chengyuan and others to a high-end restaurant for dinner. Before the dishes were served, everyone started chatting again. Cheng Long looked at little Crystal and said, "Cheng Yuan, when we met in Hong Kong two years ago, your sister has not only grown a lot taller, but also seems to be getting more and more beautiful. Well, Crystal, do you still remember me? " Little Crystal smiled sweetly and said: "I remember, Uncle Cheng Long, we met once in Hong Kong during the Spring Festival in 2006. At that time, you were passing by in a car and saw the scene of my brother rescuing people on the street. When you invited him to dinner, Sister Youli and I were also there. And that night, when you invited your brother to watch the horse racing at the racecourse, we were also there. "She has an excellent memory, and she still remembers things two years ago clearly. . Cheng Long said: "I also remember that night when we were betting on horse racing, you sat next to Cheng Yuan and shouted loudly, and how happy you were when you saw your brother winning money. I didn't expect that we haven't seen each other for more than two years. You have grown so much, and you are much quieter. Just now If it hadn't been for Cheng Yuan's introduction, I probably wouldn't have recognized you!" Xiao Jingshu smiled shyly. She was still young at that time and was much more fussy than she is now. Cheng Long continued: "Your brother and sister-in-law all call me eldest brother. You call me uncle, which seems to be a bit confusing. From now on, you can also call me eldest brother." He has become accustomed to others calling him eldest brother. Little Crystal nodded and responded: "I understand, Brother Cheng Long. Also, thank you for the Fuwa Beibei and Jingjing you asked your brother to give to me last time. I like them very much." The last time Cheng Long went to South Korea, I prepared a gift for Xiao Jingshu. They are the Wufuwa dolls, the mascots of the Yanjing Olympic Games. They are all cute and moving. They were specially hand-made with the best materials and were specially made by someone. Xiao Jingshu loved them very much. This paragraph Time often takes turns to sleep with one of them. Cheng Long smiled and said: "As long as you like it." Then, Cheng Long said to Liu Yifei: "Yifei. Thank you for helping me receive Cheng Yuan again this time, otherwise I would be rude." Liu Yifei said: "It's okay. Brother Zhang is also a good friend of mine and has helped me a lot, so I should welcome him." Cheng Long said, "I'll ask you for Chengyuan, Yuli, and Shuijing tomorrow. I'm very busy. Liu Yifei said: "I know, brother, you have been evaluated by the media as the busiest artist during the Olympics. You definitely don't have time to accompany Brother Zhang and the others, so I have asked them to visit the Ming Tombs tomorrow." Hearing this, Zhang Chengyuan nodded to Cheng Long. Cheng Long said: "That's good. I hope you can have fun tomorrow." Zhang Chengyuan said: "Brother. Don't worry, if Yifei is here, we will definitely have a good time." After chatting, Cheng Long told Zhang Chengyuan Talking about business, he asked: "A few months ago, you told me that you planned to invest in China. How are you thinking about it now?" Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said: "Brother, I have this plan, but I I still don¡¯t know which industry I want to enter, and most of my funds are currently tied up in the financial market. If I want to take it out, it won¡¯t be until the end of this year at the earliest.¡± Cheng Long smiled and said, ¡°I do have a little idea. , Well, are you interested in building an artist training school with me, selecting students from Hong Kong or the Mainland, and then sending the students to South Korea for professional training? " Zhang Chengyuan asked doubtfully: "Brother, aren't there many professional schools for cultivating artists in China? "Why do you have such an idea?" Cheng Long said: "Those first-class professional performing arts schools in China have high barriers to entry, and the graduates may not be good at everything and meet my expectations. I hope that the training school we cooperate with can provide training in certain specialties according to my ideas, especially in popular singing and dancing. "Perhaps, if the Korean entertainment industry is really better than China. That's probably because pop songs and dances are slightly ahead of China and more in line with world trends. Zhang Chengyuan said: "Then why are you looking for me? My company is only a small company and does not have strong ability to train artists?" Cheng Long said: "The only one I can fully trust in Korea is you. I don't want to look for you. Who? As for the training level, I believe that with your ability, connections and status in Korea, as long as you have sufficient funds, you can definitely solve it." Zhang Chengyuan said: "Brother, you think highly of me. In fact, I am performing in Korea. The circle doesn¡¯t have much influence. However, since you want to cooperate with me and send me money, I can¡¯t refuse.¡± Cheng Long said: ¡°Then I will be responsible for selecting students and investing the main funds. , you are responsible for the venue and training." Zhang Chengyuan responded: "It's just about the time?" Cheng Long said in a deep voice.In terms of time, it may take a year and a half. After all, the selection of trainees cannot be done in a short time. We will take our time and not rush, so that you can have more preparation time. . Also, are you interested in working with another entertainment agency with me? " Zhang Chengyuan asked: "What kind of brokerage company? " Cheng Long said: "You are responsible for contacting some outstanding Korean actors, and I am responsible for promoting these Korean artists to the Chinese film and television drama market. " Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said: "Brother, you didn't just give me money today, did you? Why is this another business that makes me money? " Cheng Long said: "It's just mutual benefit. In recent years, China's film and television market has been so prosperous that mainland actors' remuneration has skyrocketed, while Korean actors are much more affordable and high-quality. The introduction of more Korean actors should be able to slightly curb the increase in actors' remuneration in China. In addition, I might as well make a buck out of it. " Zhang Chengyuan knew that Cheng Long's words were just excuses. With Cheng Long's situation, how could he care about this? And the reason why he said this was probably just because he didn't want him to feel a psychological burden. He couldn't help but feel a little moved. He immediately He said sincerely: "Brother, actually, you don't have to do this for me. Cheng Long knew that Zhang Chengyuan had seen his intention, so he said: "No need to thank me. Speaking of which, I should thank you. Not only did you heal some old injuries on my body, but you also gave me so many precious tea leaves." , now I drink it every day, I feel really comfortable and full of energy, and I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t have any problem living another 20 or 30 years. And this cannot be compensated by one or two small cooperations. Also, if there's anything else you need my help with, just ask. " Zhang Chengyuan said: "I don't have any ideas at the moment. However, if I think of it in the future, I will definitely tell my elder brother. " Today is different from the past. Now that he has a clone of Yuanshen to help him grab money in the financial market, there is actually no need to invest in China. After all, although the Chinese market is large, there are many business opportunities. But general industrial investment, but How can he make more money faster and more through financial speculation using special means? However, he couldn't refuse Cheng Long's kindness, so he just agreed to cooperate with Cheng Long. Or it can be said that Zhang Chengyuan and Cheng Longzhi. These two ideas of cooperation are not necessary for both parties from the perspective of economic interests. In fact, they are just the product of their desire to repay each other and deepen their friendship. Cheng Long continued: "Well, the matter of cooperation. Let¡¯s talk about this first. I will send someone to contact your company for the next thing. oh. By the way, there is one more thing I need to tell you. Well, you should know that I changed a Hollywood agency a few months ago, right? " Zhang Chengyuan nodded, of course he knew this. Not long after "The King of Kung Fu" was released in North America, Cheng Long's contract with the CAA agency expired and he signed with another Hollywood agency, WMA William Morris. The brokerage company signed a contract. And earlier, Liu Yifei also signed a brokerage contract with this company. Cheng Long continued: "An agent from WMA Company asked me to send a message. Are you willing to sign a global management contract with him? " Zhang Chengyuan asked: "Brother, why did he come to you for excuses instead of coming to me directly? " "Who knows? Cheng Long shook his head and said, "Maybe he mistakenly thinks that I am your eldest brother, and you have to listen to me; maybe he thinks that I have a good relationship with you and can help him persuade you." You know, Americans sometimes like to build relationships when doing things. What do you mean by ¡®network¡¯! but. You don't need to look at my face, I'm just helping to spread the word. If you think it's suitable, you can sign the contract. If you don't think it's suitable, you can sign the contract. I won¡¯t sign. " Zhang Chengyuan thought for a while and said, "Brother, I want to hear your opinion. "Cheng Long said unceremoniously: "If you asked me what I thought, I would naturally say 'it's completely possible to consider', because if I didn't think so, I wouldn't have signed a contract with this company. And to be honest, most brokerage companies in the United States are very formal and not as restrictive as yours in Korea, so you don¡¯t need to worry too much. I think as long as this agent is willing to give you enough benefits and show enough sincerity, you can sign a contract with him. " Zhang Chengyuan responded: "Okay, brother, then I will listen to you. " He felt that Cheng Long's words were completely unselfish, so he agreed. After all, Cheng Long has been in Hollywood for many years and is much more experienced and knowledgeable than him. Cheng Long said: "I will inform the agent of your decision. I believe he will contact you soon. "After a pause, he smiled again and said: "Well, if you also sign with WMA Company after a while, then Yifei and I will be eating from the same family. Maybe we will have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future. ¡°Well, let¡¯s not talk anymore. Let¡¯s eat now. The food is almost cold. Chengyuan, what we are eating today is Hunan, one of the eight major Chinese cuisines.?, although it is spicy like Sichuan food, the style is a little different, so you should try it. Yuli, Crystal, you should also try it. Yifei, you must have eaten it many times, so feel free to eat it. "With that said, Cheng Long picked up the chopsticks first. While Cheng Long and Zhang Chengyuan were talking, the dishes had already been served one after another, and soon the table was filled. Little Crystal's eyes were shining and her mouth was watering. However, Cheng Long and Zhang Chengyuan didn't say anything, and she didn't dare to move her chopsticks. When Cheng Long spoke, she immediately thanked her and picked up the chopsticks. However, she remembered to return it after picking up a piece of beef. He didn't say hello to Zhang Chengyuan, which was a bit rude, so he smiled at Zhang Chengyuan, put the piece of beef into Cheng Yuli's bowl, and said softly: "Brother, I put it for Sister Yuli. " Zhang Chengyuan glared at her slightly and said, "Sister Yuli, I will be responsible. You don't need to come. Also, pay attention to etiquette when eating in the future and don¡¯t be so impatient. " Lifting up her chopsticks, she picked up a few pieces of her favorite food and put them into her bowl. Then she picked up a few more chopsticks and put them into Cheng Yuli's bowl. " Xiao Jingshu said with a smile: "These dishes are so fragrant, so I I just couldn¡¯t help it! " Cheng Youli smiled and glanced at Zhang Chengyuan, indicating that she could do it by herself. Since the conversation between Zhang Chengyuan and Xiao Jingshu was in Chinese, Zhang Chengyuan asked Xiao Jingshu to speak in Chinese as much as possible this time in China to train her. She has good Chinese conversation skills, so everyone present can understand her. Cheng Long smiled and said: "Cheng Yuan, it's normal for children to be lively. Don't be too harsh on her. In fact, she is already very sensible. "Liu Yifei didn't say anything. She just took the clip that Zhang Chengyuan had just pinched with a smile on her face and clipped it again to Little Crystal. She already had a deep impression of this cute and lively little girl. "Little Crystal hurriedly thanked her and said: " Thank you, Miss Yifei! "Smiling very sweetly. Zhang Chengyuan said: "Brother, you don't know how naughty my sister is. If you don't supervise her properly, she will go further and further. " Cheng Yuli felt funny and thought to herself: "You love her the way you usually do, and you are already very good if you don't indulge her, but you still supervise her? At most, he only mentioned her once or twice. Fortunately, Crystal has a good tutor, and her sister Xiuyan supervises her closely, otherwise she would have been spoiled by you. ¡± ¡ In a pleasant atmosphere, everyone had dinner. After a while, Cheng Long left. He had social activities and could not continue to accompany him. However, he still left an assistant who was familiar with the situation in Yanjing to follow him. Zhang Chengyuan served as their guide, because Zhang Chengyuan had just told him that he wanted to take Cheng Youli and Xiao Jingshu for a walk on the streets of Yanjing in the evening. After a while, Liu Yifei also left. Today she has accompanied Zhang Chengyuan and the others. , three hours, and she also had her own things to do, so she couldn't stay with Zhang Chengyuan and the others all the time, so she couldn't take them out shopping in the evening. After Liu Yifei left, Zhang Chengyuan and the others went back to the hotel to put on a little makeup. After a while, I wandered around the streets, walking around casually without any clear goals. I just went wherever I felt the excitement was. I just wanted to feel the atmosphere of the city of Yanjing. As for whether it is modern or traditional. The three of them didn¡¯t pay much attention to the atmosphere. In addition, today happened to be the traditional Chinese Valentine¡¯s Day, so some streets in Yanjing had a festive atmosphere. While taking photos, the three of them also bought some things related to the festival. Celebration gadgets, such as love chocolates, handmade couple rings, roses, etc. In addition, there are also many small items related to the Olympics, such as keychains with Olympic words printed on them, crystal balls, hats, handicrafts, etc. When the three of them were walking, the assistant appointed by Cheng Long followed closely behind them, saying nothing and trying not to disturb them. Only when Zhang Chengyuan needed his help and asked him questions, he would answer questions. They showed them the way or suggested which bus to take. The three of them kept playing until around 11 o'clock in the evening. They returned to the hotel before twelve o'clock. Then they took a shower and asked Xiao Jingyuan to sleep in the next room, while Zhang Chengyuan and Cheng Yuli stayed in the same room. It was not easy to make a mistake, so I went back to my room a little depressed, and at the same time I suddenly thought: "If my brother marries Sister Yuli in the future, then I may never be able to sleep with him again!" Therefore, before that, if you have the chance, you must pester your brother a few more times. "
