Xu Bingzhi’s phone call didn’t make Sheng Tang unhappy.
In Sheng Tang’s mind, he was always a stranger.
Sheng Tang still had to busy herself with the movie, and she wasn’t in the mood for this matter.
This movie of hers, the rights weren’t expensive, and the main actors weren’t expensive either; the initial phase cost less than ten million.
There was a 190 million budget for later, so the filming and effects could be done very ticulously. Sheng Tang felt much better.
The next day, Zheng Weiwei flew to S City. Sheng Tang had booked a restaurant, and they had a al together.
Sheng Tang knew what Zheng Weiwei wanted to talk about.
As she expected, Zheng Weiwei indeed said what Sheng Tang anticipated.
"...I used to tell others that you’re a lucky one, and I wasn’t just making it up. In the capital circle, many people are superstitious. The bigger the production, the more they like to find actors with good fortune.
So, an actor’s success isn’t just about their acting skills and connections but also their luck. Your ’Genius Girl’ succeeded, proving you are indeed lucky.
Otherwise, would Huatai Film and Television give you such good treatnt? Even the pay for your ’White Snake’ surpassed top female stars," Zheng Weiwei said.
Sheng Tang nodded, "I know, Sister Zheng, you’ve always taken good care of ."
"But you also need to take care of yourself," Zheng Weiwei sighed. "What if sothing goes wrong with this movie? How big of a blow would that be to you?"
Sheng Tang nodded again.
She understood Zheng Weiwei’s good intentions and earnest advice.
She explained seriously to Zheng Weiwei that she really liked this movie.
In the end, Sheng Tang found that Zheng Weiwei still didn’t quite believe her.
So, Sheng Tang decided to play the mystical card.
"Sister Zheng, you’ve known for years. Have you noticed my extraordinary mory?" Sheng Tang asked.
Zheng Weiwei had indeed noticed.
Sheng Tang indeed had an amazing ability to rember everything she saw instantly.
This wasn’t so trick; without such a trick, she was born with this super ability.
"Well then, let tell you a secret: besides having a photographic mory, I actually have a sixth sense about the future," Sheng Tang said.
Zheng Weiwei: "..."
"After ’Who’s Afraid of the Workplace’ beca a hit, I could have picked better scripts. Why did I choose to collaborate with Liu Taofang on ’Genius Girl’ and even invest my own money?
I wasn’t crazy. I just had this feeling when I saw the script: it would definitely make money, maybe even hit a billion at the box office," Sheng Tang said.
Zheng Weiwei’s speechless expression slightly subsided.
She suddenly rembered sothing: a friend of hers ntioned that Liu Taofang, after getting drunk, told others that before the movie’s release, Sheng Tang said the box office would surpass a billion, and Liu Taofang thought she was crazy.
Looking at it now...
Zheng Weiwei’s expression beca more serious.
"Really?"
"No, no, this kind of feeling doesn’t co all the ti," Sheng Tang said, "It’s a very mysterious feeling that’s hard to predict exactly. But when it happens, this impulse arises in my heart."
"Did you have this feeling when you took my movie?"
"No," Sheng Tang smiled, "But any rational person knows your movie will definitely sell well."
Zheng Weiwei smiled.
"Alright then, let’s see if your sixth sense works this ti too," Zheng Weiwei said. "How about I add so investnt for you?"
She still wanted to share the risk with Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang politely declined her kindness once more.
"My funds are already sufficient. Ding Ruifan isn’t taking a fee upfront, and I won’t either. The other actors’ fees aren’t high, so my current budget is very sufficient."
Sheng Tang laughed, "It’s just that when it cos to the movie’s marketing, if you could offer so ideas, I’d be imnsely grateful."
