Chapter 269 Let’s Go Swimming Together

Yanjiangyan is a restaurant specializing in Huaiyang cuisine. Although it is not a star-rated restaurant, it is indeed quite famous in Zhonghai.

There were quite a few people sitting in the box.

Zheng Jianghe, Han Guangqi, Li Wuyang, Zhou Jin and more than a dozen others are here.

"Old Zhou, you set up a table with such fanfare, do you have something to say?" Zheng Jianghe said, holding a cigarette.

"He must be hiding something. When he came just now, he was carrying a bag and he refused to tell me what it was when we asked him." Li Wuyang joked.

"Why are you in such a hurry? All the good things should be saved for last. I'll show you something."

Zhou Jin opened the bag and took out the script he had prepared in advance.

"Script? You want to make a movie?" Zheng Jianghe asked in surprise.

Zhou Jin nodded. "Lin Jiang's cheerleading competition offered such a reward. The winners had the opportunity to sign a contract with their media company. This directly led to four teams withdrawing from our jazz dance competition. I came up with this solution."

With a snap, Zhou Jin lit a cigarette.

"I picked this script out of more than 2000, but the budget is not enough, about 15 million is still missing, and the guaranteed box office is about 20 to billion. If you are interested, you can invest some, but if not, it's okay. You don't have to give me an answer now, go back and think about it."

Seeing that Zhou Jin was here to solicit investment, the expressions of several people became a little serious.

"What is the total budget?" Li Wuyang asked.

Now, Li Wuyang's whole mind is on Lin Jiang.

When he heard that Zhou Jin was going to make a movie to deal with Lin Jiang, he was more interested than anyone else.

"5000."

"This investment is not that big. Are you sure it can have a box office of 15 to 20 billion?" Han Guangqi asked.

Huipin Group’s strategic plan this year is to build a commercial complex in Ning’an District. Its biggest competitor is Lin Jiang’s Berkeley.

His idea was very simple. If he could attack Lin Jiang from multiple angles, he could accelerate Berkeley's death.

"This is a film about a school, and it fits the current trend of the times." Zhou Jin leaned back in his chair and said confidently:
"I have talked to people in the industry. This type of film is very popular now. The box office of 15 to 20 billion is actually very conservative. We are all in the same team. If there is such a good thing, I must ask you first. After all, the fat water should not flow to outsiders."

Everyone was looking at the script carefully, and judging by their expressions, they thought it was pretty good.

"I'll invest 500 million." Han Guangqi was the first to speak up, "But I have a request, I want to add an actor."

"No problem. It's just a matter of a word to make our own movie." Zhou Jin said readily.

"Looking at your behavior, I think you have already chosen the heroine and are ready to show off your skills on her when the time comes, right?" Zheng Jianghe teased.

"Oh, this is all easy to do. It would be a waste if you don't play with it."

Zhou Jin held a cigarette between his legs and did not hide anything.

"To tell you the truth, since this news was released, many actresses have contacted me, openly and secretly offering to give themselves away for free. I can't handle it all."

"Actresses are like this, there are not many good ones." Zheng Jianghe said:
"There is an actress named Wang Tongrui. She is so pure on the screen, but after going to the hotel with me, she is so sexy. She is not as good as those girls."

"I can think of one too. There was an actress who had just given birth and had no movies to shoot after her comeback. She found me through some connections. She was a good wife and mother on screen, but when we got to the hotel, she spent more money than I did."

"So, this circle is like that. Now that I'm making a movie, I have to have fun. And it's all free. I don't even have to spend money."

"I'll also invest 500 million in you. Make this movie well and try to release it at the same time as Lin Jiang's movie. This will be our first step to get out."

As he spoke, Zheng Jianghe looked at Li Wuyang.

"What about the situation over there? Have you thought of a good solution?"

"I'm going to move my position. Yongan can't beat Muxing."

No one said anything else. They all knew about Mu Xing's situation.

The quality of the meat is indeed very good, and most importantly, the price is cheap, there is nothing we can do about it.

Although changing positions is a bit discouraging, it is still a good idea.

"What are you going to do?" Zheng Jianghe asked.

"We will move our base to the north. There is a Hongyang Animal Husbandry in Shudong City. We are going to invest 1300 million yuan to further integrate the city's resources and expand the scale of the industry. This way, we can offset the market share taken away by Muxing."

"You also want to invest in Hongyang Animal Husbandry?" Han Guangqi said with a little surprise.

"Are you guys the same?"

Han Guangqi nodded and said, "We plan to invest 1500 million yuan, and use their products to supply our supermarkets in surrounding provinces and cities."

"Wait a minute."

Zheng Jianghe stopped the two of them, "Are you sure you can beat Lin Jiang's Mu Xing?"

"We have a price advantage," Li Wuyang said.
"Muxing adopts the channel distribution method. Although their costs have not increased, after distribution to various channels, those dealers will not do so. Generally, the price will increase by 5 to 10 yuan. Once we use Hongyang Animal Husbandry's products, we will have more price advantages and further widen the gap. In the low-end market, we will be more competitive. As for Yongan, we will take the high-end route in the future and carry out dual-track operations to curb Linjiang."

"If you operate on two fronts, you will block all his paths. His only way out will be Berkeley," Zheng Jianghe said with narrowed eyes.

"Berkeley?"

Han Guangqi smiled and said, "Do you think he can be a match for our Huipin?"

"Ha ha……"

Everyone at the table laughed.

"cheers!"

……

[You show your prowess in the three-person card game, Constitution +1]

[You defeated two banshees, force +1]

The next morning, the two girls took the initiative to start a card game. The two little mouths had a clear division of labor and were very harmonious. It was obvious at first glance that they were good sisters who shared happiness.

After Lin Jiang got up, he took the initiative to join the card game. After about two hours, both of them were exhausted and lay on the bed, neither of them could get up.

"Fang Fei, why can't the two of us beat him alone?"

"We need to train harder!"

After leaving their home, Lin Jiang drove to Fang Jie's home.

Today is the final of the Zhonghai regional cheerleading competition, and I want to take Fang Jie to watch it.

When we arrived at Zhonghai Lijing, we waited at the door for a few minutes, and then Fang Jie came out gracefully.

Fang Jie's outfit is quite mature, with a black waist-hugging slit skirt paired with a gray top. Her wide hips and slim waist show off her figure perfectly.

"You must be waiting anxiously. Taking care of the child has delayed us for some time." Fang Jie apologized after getting in the car.

"I just arrived too."

"I have arranged an appointment with the director and actors for you. It will be at 10am tomorrow. Are you available?"

"No problem. Which actor are you talking to?"

"Liu Wenwen, you should have heard of this name, right? She is the third female lead in the movie 'Youth Prose Poems'. After the movie was broadcast, the male and female leads received mediocre responses, but her popularity rose. After reading the script, she was the first person I thought of for the role of Qiuya."

Fang Jie said:

"The director is Li Wenzhong, a newly promoted young director who won a big award at the Beijing Youth Film Festival. The three films he directed have now grossed a cumulative 20 billion yuan at the box office. He is very suitable for making this kind of low-budget comedy."

"Sure, see you tomorrow."

Tongzi rewarded the gifted eye to the person named Liu Wenwen, and he could make some judgments himself. As for the director, he did not have much say and needed to consider many aspects.

"What are the names of his three films? I'll take a look when I have time."

"I've prepared everything for you. Come to my place in the evening and we can discuss it together."

"no problem."

The finals of the Zhonghai region will still be held at Zhonghai Sports University.

Because it was a competition among major universities in Zhonghai, there were a lot of spectators on site, almost all of whom were their classmates, which made the atmosphere even more lively.

After arriving at the venue, Lin Jiang did not go looking for Qiu Yunong. Instead, the two found a place with a wider view and watched the game below.

Fang Jie looks at their appearance, while Lin Jiang looks at their talent.

When the two are combined, the people selected will be pretty much the same.

"The level of this competition you organized is higher than I expected." Fang Jie said:

"The level of these team members is really not bad. In addition to selecting actors for you, I will also pick a few models. Mr. Lin, you won't mind, right?"

"Of course, pick any one you like." Lin Jiang said with a smile.

After a brief chat, the two of them took up their respective tasks.

Lin Jiang looked among the crowd, looking for a suitable candidate.

But these students seem to be very ordinary.

Looking around, the one with the highest acting talent only scored 67 points, just barely passing the passing line.

But there are a few who have good singing talent, with the highest scoring 79 points.

At this level, as long as you cultivate and dig deeper, you should be able to do very well.

But this time, we are looking for people with talent, talent in singing, so they can be placed in the back row.

On the other hand, Fang Jie used her mobile phone's memo to keep recording suitable candidates.

One team after another appeared, and Lin Jiang's eyes swept over these people one by one.

Soon, Lin Jiang's eyes lit up as he discovered a person with an acting talent of 75 points.

Although her appearance is not bad, she can only be considered average in the cheerleading competition where there are so many beautiful girls.

But a talent of 75 points is indeed worth cultivating, so Lin Jiang silently memorized her team, Zhonghai Normal University, Miao Xiaoyuan. About an hour later, the Zhonghai Drama Academy team came on stage.

Lin Jiang's eyes suddenly lit up. There was a person traveling in the team!

[Name: Tang Wan]

[Singing talent: 91]

【Drama Talent: 95】

What kind of divine talent is this???
Not to mention letting her play Qiuya, Lin Jiang was already eager to let her play Ma Dongmei.

It's her!
Holding his cell phone, Lin Jiang took a photo of Tang Wan and sent it to Qiu Yunong, trying to find out the identity of this person.

"You're interested in her too?" Fang Jie said.

Lin Jiang nodded, "I think it's very good."

"She is indeed good-looking, but she is not a student participating in the competition. She seems to be the teacher leading the team."

"That's okay. I think the students in their team are pretty good too. They can come and try out. I'll provide them with more opportunities."

"Ah."

The two spent the whole day in the gym.

Fang Jie selected more than twenty people and Lin Jiang selected five.

Among these five people, three overlap with Fang Jie, and these three people were finally selected.

As for the rest, Fang Jie can leave them to her own media company.

Although the number of people was not large, Lin Jiang felt that it was already good enough.

There are teams from other provinces and cities following behind. If we select more carefully, we will definitely be able to select quite a few.

When all the games were over, it was already past three in the afternoon.

The first place is Zhonghai Sports University, the second place is Zhonghai Drama Academy, and the third place is Zhonghai Jiaotong University.

In terms of strength alone, China Overseas Chinese University should be ranked fourth or fifth.

But this activity was initiated by Jiaotong University, and a seat must be reserved for them among the top three.

Qiu Yunong had already contacted the three people selected by Lin Jiang and Fang Jie, and they were waiting for them in the lounge.

"Let's go and meet those three people."

"Ah."

The two of them stood up and left the venue to find Qiu Yunong, preparing to meet up with her.

"I've learned about Tang Wan's situation. She's a teacher at the Zhonghai Academy of Drama and the school's Youth League Committee. She has no acting experience. How much is the pay for an amateur like her?" Lin Jiang said.

"About 20. After all, he's an amateur, so you don't need to give him too much," said Fang Jie.

“Isn’t 20 a little too little?”

"It's very rare to provide such an opportunity to amateurs like them. If we can negotiate well, maybe we don't even need to pay them, and we can save a lot of costs."

"That's what you said."

Soon, the two found Qiu Yunong.

Seeing Fang Jie beside Lin Jiang, Qiu Yunong remained calm on the surface, but she had already guessed that another woman was about to be conquered by her financial sponsor.

However, considering the financial supporter's strength, this is a routine operation.

"Have you talked to them?" Lin Jiang asked.

"After talking about it, everyone found out they all wanted to get this opportunity. If we could really use them, the pay would be much cheaper," said Qiu Yunong.

Lin Jiang nodded, "Let's go in and take a look."

"Ah."

The three of them came to the lounge, which had a long sofa and many props and clothes.

It’s called a lounge, but it’s more like a small warehouse.

Seeing the three people coming in, Tang Wan and the other two stood up.

Tang Wan's temperament is somewhat similar to Shen Qingqiu's, but not as reserved as her.

She has a face that looks peaceful and calm, without any aggression, a standard bone beauty.

The girl standing next to Tang Wan is named Liu Peipei, and her appearance is no worse than hers.

Talent score 87, also a student of Zhonghai Drama Academy,
Miao Xiaoyuan is slightly inferior, with an oval face, and is more suitable for playing supporting roles.

After seeing the three people, Lin Jiang matched them to their roles, but whether they could succeed or not depended on themselves.

If you can't seize the opportunity, there's nothing you can do.

Qiu Yunong stood beside Lin Jiang and introduced:

"This is the general manager of YM18 Media, Mr. Lin."

"This is Mr. Fang, the general manager of Qingfeng Media."

"Boss Lin, Boss Fang."

The three of them greeted Lin Jiang and Fang Jie stiffly and shook hands with them.

"I've been here for a day and I'm quite impressed by the three of you. Recently our company is planning to make a movie and we have a few roles that we'd like you to audition for."

"Thank you Mr. Lin."

"Please leave your contact information and someone will contact you later to arrange an audition for you." Lin Jiang said:

"If we don't get this movie, we will plan to make other movies in the future, and there is still the possibility of cooperation."

"Thank you Mr. Lin."

After meeting and having a brief chat, Lin Jiang and Fang Jie left.

Once the director is confirmed, you can start the audition.

After leaving China Sport University, Lin Jiang and Fang Jie went out to have dinner together and then went to her house.

Just like last time, Fang Jie made tea and cut some fruit.

Start watching the movies directed by Li Wenzhong.

By fast-forwarding, I watched the three films in about two hours.

Two of them are comedy films and the other one is a youth film, both of which performed well at the box office and received good reviews.

Li Wenzhong has a very strong control over the rhythm of comedy, and Lin Jiang himself is satisfied with it.

"what do you think?"

"It's really good. Let's meet him tomorrow. If there's no problem, we'll take him. Then we can contact the actor for an audition."

"I think so too."

I got up and moved around for a while, then looked at the watch. It was already past seven in the evening, so I had to go back and check in for exercise.

This tiny movement was noticed by Fang Jie.

"Is there anything else later?"

"No, I'm going to go back and exercise and stretch my body."

A bright light appeared in Fang Jie's eyes.

"Would you like to make a date? My new swimsuit just arrived, would you like to go swim a few laps together?"

"The problem is that my swimming trunks aren't here, so there's nothing I can do."

"That's easy. There's a sports goods store downstairs. Let's go buy one. As for the rest of the equipment, you can just use mine. I have a lot anyway."

Fang Jie looked at her watch and said, "At this time, the swimming pool in the community clubhouse is empty, so it's perfect for swimming a few laps."

"also."

Having made up their minds, the two went to the sporting goods store downstairs together, bought a pair of swimming trunks, and went to the swimming pool in the community club.

The two bought passes and, led by Fang Jie, went to the swimming pool on the underground floor.

When Lin Jiang came out after changing into his swimming trunks, Fang Jie couldn't take her eyes off him.

How did he practice that?

What a great figure!
Fang Jie was trying hard to control her emotions, trying not to look at Lin Jiang, maintaining the restraint of a woman.

It wasn't too early, and there was no one in the club's swimming pool, so it was convenient for the two of them to swim together without having to worry too much.

Standing in the arrangement, the two began to do warm-up exercises.

Fang Jie's swimsuit is black and has a backless design.

Her figure was slightly plump, and there was a mark at the base of her thigh, which had an effect comparable to an acceleration halo.

While doing warm-up exercises, Fang Jie could no longer take her eyes off Lin Jiang and couldn't help but steal a glance at him.

Not only does it have eight-pack abs and a six-pack, it's also round and plump. Fang Jie doesn't dare to imagine what size it is.

"Stop looking at it. Your eyes will fall out if you keep looking at it."

Fang Jie felt a little embarrassed and her face turned red.

"Mr. Lin, can I touch your abdominal muscles?" Fang Jie said bravely.
