Chapter 195 Talking about business
*
The huge success of "Legend of Xilan" far exceeded Lu Zhi's expectations.
Linglu Island also began to come into the audience's field of vision.
What Lu Zhi didn't expect was that after achieving success in his career, the first thing he received was not work, but countless social engagements and banquets of all sizes.
This family held a charity auction today.
There's a summer dinner party at that place tomorrow.
There’s a cruise night at his house the day after tomorrow.
Those who come and go are all people in the circle.
If she wants to share the pie of the domestic entertainment industry, she has to have some social connections.
These were originally borne by Ke Zhijie.
But recently Ke Zhijie has been busy with Xu Qingan's affairs and has no time to help her deal with it.
There are many banquets that Lu Zhi cannot refuse, so he has to go there alone.
She didn't dare show up again regarding Xu Qing'an's affairs.
On one side is a best friend’s love for her child, and on the other side is her best friend’s life.
In her heart, she hoped that Ke Zhijie could successfully abort her child so that she could survive.
She also knew that as a god, Ke Zhijie would definitely succeed.
So she didn't dare to come forward, for fear that when Xu Qing'an asked her for help, she would not be able to hold back her soft heart.
I can only numb myself with work.
But she didn't expect to meet Gu Qiancheng at the cruise night event.
There are only a few people coming and going at high society banquets.
All the people here are familiar faces.
In addition to the young men from the upper class, there are also top stars in the entertainment industry.
Stars without family background are nothing more than beautiful vases and actors in front of these wealthy families, and can be played with.
However, Lu Zhi attended today as the chairman of Linglu Island, so naturally he stood in the circle of wealthy families.
Lin Zhier and Gu Qianhan were also there.
Qin Yanxu and Lian Ying were also there.
There are also some old acquaintances from the previous circle.
What surprised Lu Zhi was that Zhao Lanxin would also be there.
She originally thought that Zhao Lanxin's reputation was that of a relative of the Fu family. No matter what, she would not bother to attend a banquet of this level.
When Lu Zhi arrived, everyone's eyes fell on her.
She is quite confident about her appearance.
He glanced at everyone present and walked straight to today's target person: "Mrs. Chen, long time no see."
Mrs. Chen’s name is Chen Yuelan, and she is the president of the largest entertainment agency in China.
He is also a shareholder of two other brokerage companies, and the resources he holds account for almost half of China.
The pure and innocent actress who was popular all over the country was banned by her just because she offended her and refused to act in her work. She was reduced to being able to only go to Hong Kong to shoot some small commercial films.
This is also the reason why Lu Zhi is here today. She is going to launch three projects at the same time this year.
Funds are certainly not a problem. She just needs to exchange the bird with the Wolf King in the Wanjie Red Envelope Group, and a large amount of funds will be deposited into her account.
But the problem is that such a large amount of capital flow will attract the attention of the higher-ups.
She didn't want to trouble Fu Linzhou too much, so she decided to raise some funds.
Chen Yuelan saw her and nodded slightly: "Miss Lu, long time no see."
In the past, Chen Yuelan didn't pay much attention to her. She only knew that she was in "Legend of Xilan". This little splash was nothing in front of her, who had seen too many ups and downs in the entertainment industry and had worked in the industry for more than ten years and made dozens of hit film and television works.
The reason why Chen Yuelan was willing to nod and greet her was because she heard a rumor that Lu Zhi had attended the Fu family's banquet not long ago.
It seems that he is very much appreciated by Mrs. Fu.
No wonder he was able to get the endorsement of "Yunshen".
The two leaned against the railing and chatted for a while before getting down to business.
Lu Zhi knew that when talking to smart people, there was no need for too much beating around the bush. "I wonder if Mrs. Chen is interested in participating in some small projects recently?"
Chen Yuelan had actually long wanted to win over Lu Zhi, but she didn't expect the other party to extend an olive branch first.
It’s not surprising. I heard that Linglu Island has made some big moves recently.
However, she is a businessman, and businessmen are profit-driven.
Chen Yuelan smiled and said, "Didn't I hear that Linglu Island only considers its own artists for any projects it produces?"
“Investment can be made anywhere, but cultivating a cash cow is the only way to achieve long-term profit.”
A film or TV work can certainly make money, but cultivating a top-tier star is more profitable.
Therefore, the works invested by Chen Yuelan basically require her artists to be the protagonists, otherwise there is no deal.
Lu Zhi naturally knew her rules.
The two of them held their wine glasses and chatted lightly.
They exchanged information and talked about policy changes, director resources, and capital games in China's film and television industry in the next few years...
Chen Yuelan was surprised. "There will be a ban on Korean products next year? How did you know?"
As a reborn person, Lu Zhi certainly knows.
She also knew that Chen Yuelan held several big IPs, all of which were copyrights of Korean TV dramas, and were preparing to remake them.
But once the new policy comes out, these IPs will rot in their hands.
Next year's new policy will focus on supporting traditional domestic film and television works. Her fantasy dramas, costume unit comedies and costume palace fighting dramas are all among the key support categories.
She is sitting firmly on a small boat with favorable policies, while Chen Yuelan is a giant cruise ship that is about to take flight.
It is not necessarily impossible for her to win the sailing race between small boats and cruise ships.
Seeing that she had revealed everything, Chen Yuelan looked puzzled. "Ms. Lu, you're just going to confront me like that. Aren't you afraid that I'll change sides at the last minute and use the policy to find someone else to do a new project?"
Lu Zhi smiled. "I'll be honest with you. I'm here to cooperate with you with sincerity. I also believe that you're not a small workshop company that only cares about petty profits."
The fact that she can reveal the policy direction for next year naturally shows that she has this channel.
As long as the other party is not going to quit after only working for the next year, he will naturally not refuse her olive branch.
The policy direction of the year after next, and the policy direction of the year after that.
If you want to be invincible in the world of fame and fortune, you naturally need to rely on a big tree that is not easy to fall down.
Enough talking.
Chen Yuelan's mind moved, and he raised his glass towards her: "I'd like to visit Miss Lu's Linglu Island someday."
This is what it means to be willing to cooperate.
Lu Zhi also smiled and raised his glass: "I'm at your service anytime."
The two of them had a pleasant conversation.
In the corner, there were many people paying attention to what was happening here.
Chen Yuelan had no intention of getting involved in the younger generation's mess, and said with a hint of meaning: "But I see that Miss Lu is also very busy, so please do as you please."
She said goodbye to Lu Zhi and turned to talk to other people.
Lu Zhi noticed it as soon as he came in.
Lin Zhier, Gu Qianhan, Gu Qiancheng, and some unknown people in the corner were all staring at her with eager eyes.
Lu Zhi was wearing a "Yunshen" cheongsam dress today, which was extremely luxurious. Even if she was attending the Fu family's dinner party, this outfit would be able to hold her own, let alone a small party like this.
She found a corner and waited for someone to come to her.
The first wave of people coming up was Lin Zhier.
Lin Zhier looked at her with a smile: "Zhizhi, long time no see. I heard that you signed the business contract with 'Yun Shen'. Congratulations."
Lu Zhi smiled: "Thank you."
She looked so proud, like a pampered little princess in the forest accepting praise from her subjects.
The smile on Lin Zhier's face twisted for a moment.
She continued to smile and moved closer: "Zhizhi, you don't know yet, do you? Your father is now the head of a certain region in the European and American Caesars business empire."
"You didn't win."
Lu Zhi raised an eyebrow: "Really?"
She really didn't know it, thanks to Lin Zhier for delivering such crucial information.
Lin Zhier curled her lips and said, "Daddy is still working diligently to earn money to support Mommy and me. We are still a harmonious and happy family. We haven't fallen on hard times because of you. I'm sorry to disappoint you."
"They'll be back soon, and then they might have to settle some scores with you."
