Chapter 123 First meeting
Chen Jinfei is in the real estate business and has nothing to do with Jiang Heng.
But he knew that Jiang Heng had acquired a piece of land in Wudaokou and was going to build the iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video Building, so he had an excuse to visit them.
First call a friend and ask if he has Jiang Heng’s number.
The latter laughed and said, "You are not thinking about the piece of land he has, are you? Many companies are thinking about it!"
Chen Jinfei smiled, "He does have that intention, but his main job is making movies, and building buildings is not his strong point, so he needs someone to help him do it."
"That's true, but I heard that many companies have entrusted their relationships to Han Sanping. You also know the relationship between the two companies. This matter is not easy to handle!"
Chen Jinfei smiled and said, "When doing business, you have to try!"
The friend stopped trying to persuade him and gave him a number.
After Chen Jinfei hung up, he hurriedly called back, but it was his assistant who answered, which was not surprising.
He told me his name, his company's name, and the purpose of his call, then hung up.
I believe that with his current wealth and reputation, Jiang Heng would choose not to cooperate with him.
We should still be polite and not offend people easily.
Then he called Liu Xiaoli and said that they had contacted her, but Jiang Heng was busy filming and could not make a decision for the time being.
Tell her when there is news.
Liu Xiaoli thanked him profusely, and after hanging up the phone, she said in surprise: "Xixi, you will soon meet Director Jiang!"
"really?"
Liu Tianxian still doesn’t quite understand the rules of the adult world. Her godfather doesn’t know Director Jiang, so is it really possible for them to meet?
However, they don’t know that the group of people who hold power and wealth in a place, even if they don’t have much contact with each other on a daily basis, still have to give each other some face as long as there is no conflict of interest.
Liu Xiaoli has worked hard for half her life and understands this very well.
"Of course. Mom will take you to eat delicious food first, and then wait for news. Maybe it won't be long before we can see the movie you star in is released worldwide!"
Liu Xiaoli encouraged her daughter, and Liu Tianxian couldn't help but fantasize.
As for Jiang Heng, he was naturally filming on the set.
The filming of "The Matrix" 2 and 3 took at least half a year on the crew. He also had to arrange for special effects companies to produce some of the already filmed shots. In addition, he had to promote the premiere of "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother". Jiang Heng was really busy during this period.
I don’t have the time to meet and chat with people. I don’t even have time to work on the iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video buildings. It’s not that I’m holding back on developing the land.
The assistant told him that there was a man named Chen Jinfei, who claimed to be the boss of Tongchan Group, and wanted to invite him to dinner.
Jiang Heng thought about it for a moment and remembered who this person was. He could also roughly guess the purpose of inviting him.
The problem is that it only took me half a day to attend the premiere of "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother", so there's no way I could waste that time on him.
After thinking about it, he finally called Chen Jinfei and said that he was too busy recently and would invite Boss Chen to dinner after the crew finished filming in a few months.
Chen Jinfei couldn't wait for several months, so he hurriedly said, "Well, Director Jiang, I happen to be nearby, and my goddaughter admires you very much. The child is very hardworking and has been admitted to the Beijing Film Academy. She has always been curious about special effects blockbusters. I will take her to have a look. I promise not to cause you any trouble!"
At this point, Jiang Heng couldn't refuse, so he reluctantly said, "Well, okay!"
After hanging up the phone, I wondered, how old is Liu Tianxian this year?
But Chen Jinfei hurriedly called Liu Xiaoli and told her that he would take her and her daughter to visit the set of the sequel to "The Matrix" later, which made the two of them exclaim with joy.
Seeing that everyone in the restaurant was looking at them in surprise, she quickly packed up and went out, driving to meet Chen Jinfei.
The latter was arranging staff to sweep through many milk tea shops in Beijing and move a lot of boxes of cold drinks. As a billionaire with assets of more than 2 billion, Chen Jinfei certainly couldn't visit the studio empty-handed.
It's not a good idea to spend money right away when you first meet someone. Besides, Jiang Heng's current wealth should be more than his, so it's not something he can afford to spend.
It would be better to buy milk tea and cold drinks for the entire crew in the name of the goddaughter, and let people in the circle know that the eldest lady is coming and everyone should get out of the way.
But after the two sides met up, they got on Chen Jinfei's Mercedes-Benz S600, followed by several small trucks loaded with milk tea.
He only heard that the crew of the sequel to "The Matrix" was very large, several hundred people, so he directly asked for a thousand copies.
"Xixi, don't be nervous when you meet Director Jiang later. Just act like you normally would. Godfather will arrange everything for you!"
"Well, thank you, godfather!"
Chen Jinfei looked at his goddaughter in front of him with some doting, and said to Liu Xiaoli: "Xixi is so pretty and well-behaved, there will definitely be no problem!"
Liu Xiaoli's eyes were a little moist, "Old Chen, I'm really sorry to trouble you!"
Chen Jinfei said angrily: "Hey, we are still talking about this between us!"
The China Film Digital Photography Base is in Huairou, nearly a hundred miles away by car. The group arrived at around 2:00 p.m., which was the hottest time of the day.
When Chen Jinfei's motorcade arrived, Li Xiaoping, vice president of iQiyi Films, came out to greet him. "Hello, Mr. Chen. I'm Li Xiaoping, vice president of iQiyi Films. Our director Jiang is busy filming and can't spare the time..."
Chen Jinfei said hurriedly, "Oh, it's my fault for being so abrupt and disturbing the crew's filming progress. It was mainly because my daughter admires Director Jiang very much and wanted to see how those super shocking scenes were shot, so I shamelessly brought them here!"
Then he pointed to the small trucks behind him and said, "The weather is too hot, so I brought some milk tea and cold drinks to everyone. It's a token of my appreciation, a token of my appreciation!"
Li Xiaoping smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is too polite. You don't have to spend so much money!"
After a few polite words, he ordered people to move inside and prepare to distribute milk tea and cold drinks during the break.
He glanced at the pretty and well-behaved Liu Tianxian and thought to himself, "This girl is good-looking, has a quiet temperament, and has an otherworldly aura. She's a good candidate!"
In fact, when Li Xiaoping first heard that a real estate developer wanted to bring his goddaughter to visit the set, she was a little disdainful.
There are many girls who admire Jiang Heng and want to visit him on set. What makes you think you can do that?
But looking at it again now, I feel that the girl in front of me really has the qualifications.
After a little thought, he said, "Let's go inside first, and don't make any noise. After this set of shots is finished, we will take a break for fifteen to thirty minutes, and Director Jiang will be free then!"
Chen Jinfei and others had no objection and followed Li Xiaoping into the crew.
It has been an eye-opener along the way.
I found that the equipment here is very "high-tech" and not at all backward.
When we arrived at the set, they were filming a fight scene between the male lead Neo and Agent Smith, which was a bit boring to watch.
After constant NGs and reshoots, it took nearly an hour to complete this set of shots.
Li Xiaoping took a few steps to explain the situation before Jiang Heng turned sideways from behind the monitor and saw a man in his forties with a strong aura, and a beautiful woman of similar age beside him.
In front of them was a beautiful little girl with a childish face and an ethereal air. She was none other than Liu Tianxian, who would become very popular in the future.
Jiang Heng stood up and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, I have heard a lot about you!"
Chen Jinfei hurried forward and shook Jiang Heng's hand, "Hey, we should say we have heard a lot about you. Director Jiang's name is really well-known!"
