After everyone sat down, Chen Bei finally understood why those directors liked coal bosses.
The reason is simple: the coal bosses are just too generous.
Qi Bin kept ordering six or seven pound lobsters and one-meter-long king crabs as if they were free.
Judging from the situation, they will be full just by eating these things today.
"My family owns one or two mines, so we've made a bit of money. But while we've got the money, our temperament hasn't kept pace. So, I want to get in touch with people in your literary and artistic circles and see how cultured people live."
Qi Bin held a glass of wine and chatted with everyone. Chen Bei felt that based on what he said, he didn't seem to be lagging behind in temperament.
Since the focus of today's dinner is to discuss investment, Qi Bin naturally became very close to Chen Bei.
He took the initiative to pour Chen Bei a glass of wine and said:
"Teacher Chen, please tell me. I want to show my face in our short video, and preferably have a line or two. What's the appropriate price?"
"Don't be so polite to me. This is why we're sitting here. Don't be shy about asking."
"Well, just name a price, and I won't bargain!"
Chen Bei felt that Qi Bin and Xiao Bai should have a good chat. He didn't know what kind of mushroom cloud would be created when these two rich second-generations got together!
Chen Bei didn't rush to quote the price, but ate his food and said:
"It all depends on how Mr. Qi wants to show off."
"It's one thing to just flash across the screen, it's another to design a couple of lines for you, and we can even help you create a character that often appears in short videos."
Qi Bin quickly put down his wine glass, walked up to Chen Bei and said excitedly:
"Can I really appear in short videos frequently? And even have lines?"
Chen Bei nodded and said:
"That's no problem. In fact, I already have an idea. I'm planning to shoot a short online film. It will not only be broadcast on Doumi, but also on various other platforms."
"If Mr. Qi wants to participate, it's not impossible for me to design a role for you."
Qi Bin wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and said:
"Well, I don't have much acting skills, and I'm afraid I'll mess up the show for you guys."
Chen Bei took the initiative to pick up Qi Bin's wine glass. After the two of them clinked their glasses, he spoke confidently:
"Don't worry about this. This role isn't difficult. I'll let you play it yourself."
"Whatever role you play now will be the same role in the short video. There should be no problem in just playing yourself!"
"No problem! Absolutely no problem! I know exactly what kind of person I am! Look, I told you, I made the right choice this time. You are all honest people here!"
"Waiter! Bring me a few more bottles of wine, I want 1982 Moutai!"
After saying this, Qi Bin winked at Chen Bei and said:
"Teacher Chen, please don't leave after you finish drinking. I will arrange something else for you."
Chen Bei thought to himself, you don’t really want to take me to a health clinic, right? Although I also want to experience it, I am a public figure now after all, and I have to pay attention to the impact.
"Boss Qi, let's talk about filming first."
"Yeah, yeah, let's talk about filming, about our profession! Look at me, I lose my composure when I'm happy!"
Qi Bin patted himself lightly on the face and put on an attitude of listening attentively.
Chen Bei stopped him and said:
"Well, although the script hasn't been released yet, I do have the general structure of the story. Let's shoot the first season first, which will be about a dozen episodes."
"If you really want to participate in the filming, you need to stay here for a while."
"Of course it won't take too long. We will prioritize finishing your scenes first."
Qi Bin shook his head and said:
"No, no, no, you don't have to take care of me like this. I don't have anything serious to do right now anyway, so I can stay here. Even if there's no role for me, I can still help out!"
Chen Bei looked at Qi Bin with some doubt, thinking that it shouldn't be the case.
No matter how easy-going the coal boss is, he wouldn't be so enthusiastic.
I can understand that you want to show your face, and I can also think that you want to film with us just out of interest.
What's the point of you not doing anything else and just hanging out with the crew?
Seeing Chen Bei's hesitation, Qi Bin hurriedly said:
"Right, right, right. Don't just talk about me. How much do you think is appropriate for me to invest?"
Chen Bei pondered for a while and said:
"It shouldn't cost that much for a web series, and considering I'll definitely be looking for other investors later, I'll give you a..."
"Okay! Just ten million!" Qi Bin decided by slamming the table.
Chen Bei didn't know how to continue the conversation at that time. He wanted to ask you to just give him one million.
After all, he just showed up in a short drama and played a cameo role, so Chen Bei felt that one million was too much.
The friendship we built over today's meal alone is worth a role.
It turns out that he doesn't understand the life of rich people. It was too stingy for him to spend 30,000 yuan to book the whole place.
I really want to show those netizens what it means to show off wealth and what it means to waste money!
Chen Yu and others sat on the side, looking at Chen Bei with admiration.
Look! What is ability! What is pattern!
While they were still cheering for the 30,000 yuan private screening fee, Teacher Chen asked the coal boss for 10 million yuan.
Judging from the situation, the coal boss still thinks he has gotten a great bargain. Who can he go to for justice?
Sure enough, the best decision I have ever made in my life was to close the drama club and hang out with Teacher Chen Bei!
Chen Bei felt a little toothache. He really didn't expect that attracting investment would be so easy.
If every investor was so easy to talk to, there wouldn't be so much chaos in this circle.
Ten million! Chen Bei smacked his lips.
Since the other party quoted such a price, Chen Bei definitely couldn't say no.
There are ways to spend one million, and there are plans for ten million.
Besides, with this 10 million, Chen Bei no longer needs to look for others to attract investment.
But the problem is that after taking the 10 million, he was only given the opportunity to play a cameo role. Chen Bei felt that he was not yet capable of such a crime.
So he clinked glasses with Qi Bin again and said:
"Okay, then I'll have someone send over a contract tomorrow. Take a look at the profit sharing ratio above. If it's okay, we can officially cooperate."
Qi Bin also smiled and said:
"Teacher Chen is such a down-to-earth person! I have a feeling that our collaboration this time will be a very pleasant one! Everyone, hurry up and eat. I'll make new arrangements and we'll have our second round!"
After saying that, he looked at Chen Bei curiously and said:
"Teacher Chen, would you mind telling me a little bit about what we're going to film?"
"Part of the filming content is about bathing and hygiene. You will be an important person then."
"Really? Look, my mouth is watering. So what's the name of our skit?"
"Dangsi man!"
