Chapter 53: Poor judgment
Wangfu Century, inside a lavishly decorated villa.
In the living room, the nanny poured tea for the three of them, set out a few plates of snacks, and then went out wearing an apron.
"Little Gu, is it okay for me to call you that?"
"Uncle Lu, you are Tian Tian's elder, please make yourself at home."
Lu Zheng glanced at Jing Tian, who was holding a teacup and did not respond, her big eyes looking around aimlessly.
"Xiao Gu, what are your plans after this movie? I have a project that's short of a director, why don't you come and direct it for me?"
Lu Zheng initially wanted to put on airs, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
When we were filming the album's music video, we had the idea of poaching people, but they didn't agree then, let alone now.
"A movie? Is it for Sweetie?"
Gu Qing knew perfectly well that if she couldn't stay in Hollywood, she would be even more restless now that she was back in China.
Fortunately, this person was sensible and knew to invite him to be the director.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Qing spoke up.
"Uncle Lu, I have no problem directing, but the film script needs my approval."
"I've made some money and I'm planning to start a company. I'd like to partner with Jing Tian."
"in addition……"
Gu Qing didn't refuse. Jing Tian was such a troublemaker, and he was the only one who could lead him.
Everyone present was an outsider, and Gu Qing didn't hide anything, directly stating her desire to start a film and television company.
Previously, he had planned to go into business with Huang Xiaoming and Jing Tian.
But now, he's changed his mind. The others have too many ideas, so it's better for him to partner with his brother.
When brothers are of one mind, their strength can break even metal!
Okay, it's simply because my own brother is naive and easy to manipulate.
That's why it was said that he was working with Jing Tian, rather than with Lu Zheng.
Jing Tian's heart stirred slightly, and the joy in her eyes was already impossible to hide. If Lu Zheng hadn't been there, she would have jumped up excitedly.
Gu Qing had privately discussed starting a company with her before, but somehow it turned into her being with Gu Qing.
"You..."
Lu Zheng was dumbfounded. Gu Qing had just said a lot, and he had listened to a lot of it. For a moment, he was speechless.
Regarding Jing Tian's investment in the new movie, there's no problem with letting Gu Qing review the script, since the other party also has the ability to write scripts.
But this company, after all, should be handled by him. If he lets Gu Qing and Jing Tian partner up, won't it end up becoming his one-man show?
Lu Zheng glanced at his niece and felt exhausted by her lack of ambition.
"Xiao Gu, I think..."
"I think it's a good idea, Uncle Lu. Let's just vote for it. I have faith in Qing's abilities."
Before Lu Zheng could even speak, Jing Tian had already blocked his way out. His siding with outsiders made Lu Zheng shake his head in disapproval.
If things continue like this, then if we partner with Gu Qing in the future, we'll be completely at his mercy.
"Uncle Lu, this is what I'm thinking. Since Tian Tian has entered this industry, film and television projects are naturally of paramount importance. Instead of investing in others, why don't we do something big ourselves?"
Gu Qing took a sip of tea to moisten her throat and then carefully explained her plans.
Lu Zheng is decisive, but his vision is not very good. Rather than spending money and not seeing any results, it's better to just give the money to him directly.
He can handle all the company's affairs on his own, but the biggest problem is the lack of money. Jing Tian is like a proton, or rather, a mascot. When there are suitable and high-quality projects, he can step in himself, and he will also tailor-make roles for the other party.
Huang Xiaoming didn't say he would abandon the other party either. After all, in this industry, it's necessary to have someone who is good at social maneuvering, and Huang Xiaoming is quite good.
Taking a stake is out of the question, but cooperation is not out of the question either.
In the future, I might be able to collaborate with Fan Binbin again.
In the entertainment industry, there are countless examples of sisters who have fallen out but then reconciled, even going so far as to steal a role from their best friend and still become good friends.
Not to mention the couple who were cheated on in the morning but performed love songs together on stage in the afternoon.
Gu Qing didn't hold back with Lu Zheng either, making it very clear that he was practically saying that Lu Zheng had poor judgment and couldn't make Jing Tian famous.
The fact that he only took on that one Hong Kong film and spent two months in Hollywood to get an endorsement contract shows his lack of ability.
However, Lu Zheng is the guardian, not the agent, so he can only discuss things professionally; he has no right to say anything in private.
Lu Zheng's expression remained unchanged, but he was extremely embarrassed inside. However, he was still somewhat unconvinced. He had eaten more than ten years more food, so how could he be inferior to Gu Qing?
However, he did not refuse Jing Tian's offer to start a film and television company with her, just to have a backup plan. He still needed to prepare projects to promote his niece.
Jing Tian listened attentively from the side, her big eyes gazing intently at Gu Qing's eloquent speech.
In fact, Gu Qing didn't say much. He just explained why Jing Tian, who had excellent resources in her previous life, managed to make a mess of things.
With a perspective and experience far exceeding their current level, they could easily fool these two people who were unfamiliar with the entertainment industry.
If Boss Jia can attract funding with just a few slides, then his presentation, which contained some substantial content, is certainly not unworthy of being presented.
That's right, he really needs to be supported by this rich young woman.
"Little rich lady, you'll have to take good care of me from now on."
Watching Lu Zheng leave, Gu Qing shifted her position and sat down next to Jing Tian, making some flirtatious remarks.
With no one else around, Gu Qing couldn't help but become much more unrestrained.
"Hmph, Qing-ge, you'll have to take responsibility for me from now on, no, I mean you'll have to remember to make me famous."
Jing Tian made a slip of the tongue and couldn't help but say what was on her mind, but fortunately she made amends in time.
"Don't you trust my abilities? Look at Fan Binbin, wasn't it me who single-handedly turned her reputation around?"
Gu Qing patted his chest and said confidently.
Actually, he wasn't very confident either. Despite the many criticisms of Fan Binbin as just a pretty face, her abilities are truly remarkable.
In terms of looks alone, they may each have their own merits, but in terms of acting, they are far superior to Jing Tian.
They were originally students of Xie Jin Art Academy and studied acting classes seriously.
"Sweetie, if you ever decide to film or accept a role in a movie or TV series, you must tell me first so I can vet it, okay?"
Gu Qing held Jing Tian's hand, patted it gently, and said earnestly.
Lu Zheng should have gone back to discuss it now; he still needs to give Jing Tian a heads-up.
Don't let him build up his reputation while ruining it all with Lu Zheng.
By then, it will be a good movie or a bad movie.
"Brother Qing, I understand, but Uncle Lu is doing it for my own good, and I can't refuse."
Jing Tian's face flushed slightly, and she felt dizzy. The two had a good relationship, and she had even looked at his body. However, her hand was being held tightly by him, making it hard for her to breathe.
Didn't we agree to treat her like a brother? Is this something brothers should do?
"I'm just giving you a heads-up; you'll need to be able to make your own judgment when the time comes."
Gu Qing released the other person's hand. Although she was somewhat tempted by its softness and smoothness, she didn't want to alert the other person and scare them.
"I'm leaving now. I'll draft a set of articles of association for the company later, and you can give it to Lu Zheng."
Gu Qing found an excuse to make sure he could contact the other party at any time, and then prepared to make a quick getaway.
Let Jing Tian handle Lu Zheng; it's best for this blond-haired guy to stay out of the other side as much as possible.
I'm afraid that military boxing will have to be demonstrated in front of him then.
