Chapter 117: I won a luxury car and a young model, but I lost and went to work in the sea (Please subscribe and give me a monthly ticket!)
…
Chen Ruoxi is recognized as one of the most capable women among Zhu Bing's close friends.
But Chen Ruoxi came from a humble background.
She was born in a very ordinary family in a remote area.
Fortunately, when she was in her second year of high school, she was selected into the military art troupe because of her beautiful appearance and served as an art soldier for three years.
After demobilization, she ventured into Shanghai alone and began to shoot various types of commercials, becoming an unknown actress who played supporting roles for many years.
Not long after, because of her excellent qualities, she was spotted by the director of a sitcom and played a relatively important role, thus officially entering the entertainment industry.
After acting in sitcoms for more than a year, she was spotted by a female producer and cast in a Qing Dynasty drama, which made her a minor celebrity.
After that, she had ups and downs in the entertainment industry, and her performance was neither good nor bad.
It was not until a few years ago that she met Zhu Bing through a play, and then joined Zhu Bing's group of close friends and started to get involved in behind-the-scenes work.
In recent years, she has acted less and less, and seems to be trying to transition behind the scenes.
Because her stardom is going downhill and she has not yet officially stepped behind the scenes, Chen Ruoxi does not actually have much money - based on Zhu Bing's understanding of her, her assets would definitely not exceed five million, and the largest portion of them is probably the small house she bought in Shanghai five or six years ago after filming that Qing Dynasty drama.
Apart from anything else, before seeing Xu Kai's script, Chen Ruoxi had not invested a penny in "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands" - before that, she only expressed that she could make a guest appearance and serve as the chief producer.
But at this time, Chen Ruoxi wanted to invest another 10 million!
It is no wonder that Zhu Bing, who knew Chen Ruoxi's situation, was shocked.
Not only Zhu Bing was shocked, but other people who knew Chen Ruoxi's situation were also shocked.
Danchun, who had a good relationship with Chen Ruoxi, asked directly: "Sister Xi, can you... take out 10 million?"
Chen Ruoxi smiled and said, "Now that I've said this, I'm sure I can raise the money."
"Bingbing, please give me this opportunity. I want to be the producer of this play."
Fearing that Zhu Bing would not agree, Chen Ruoxi added: "I don't want any money for acting or being the producer. I will share the 10 million yuan with everyone in proportion. How do you think?"
Although almost all the people here are women, there are also some who are smart and even wise enough to be like demons.
Even without others saying anything, Zhu Bing could tell that Chen Ruoxi was extremely optimistic about "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands" and was ready to bet her entire fortune on it.
Zhu Bing looked at Xu Kai and said to Chen Ruoxi, "Are you so confident in him?"
Chen Ruoxi also looked at Xu Kai: "I am confident in my own vision."
Chen Ruoxi has been a strong-willed person since she was young.
As the eldest sister, she has been helping her parents relieve the pressure of life since she was young. When she was very young, she did many housework. When she was a teenager, she rode a bicycle to change the gas tank by herself.
During the three years she served as an arts soldier, she got up at 5 o'clock every morning and assembled at 6 o'clock. In addition to military training, she learned stage performances. Whether it was sketches, crosstalk, dance, or musicals, she participated in almost all of them, and she was always challenging different roles.
At the same time, from then on, she insisted on running 3 kilometers every day and lived a simple and hard life of carrying water, growing vegetables, and raising pigs.
After demobilization, she took on advertising jobs while studying at the Law Department of the University of Foreign Studies at her own expense, constantly improving herself.
After years of ups and downs in the entertainment industry, Chen Ruoxi discovered that there is never a shortage of beauties in the industry. However, she is almost thirty years old and is increasingly unable to keep up with the endless stream of young beauties, even though she has been delaying her peak state through running and fitness.
It was not until she came into contact with production work that Chen Ruoxi felt that transforming into a cross-border all-round female artist might be her future path.
Of course, this was also because there was a lack of production-type talent around Zhu Bing at the time, and Zhu Bing’s group of close friends was Chen Ruoxi’s most important circle, and she could not be marginalized.
Therefore, in the past few years, Chen Ruoxi has been working hard to learn the job of a producer, and has used Zhu Bing's relationship to build her own network of producers. At the same time, she has been looking for opportunities to give it a try.
God will not let down those who work hard.
Finally, Chen Ruoxi waited for Xu Kai and "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands".
After reading the script of "Ten Miles of Foreign Concessions" written by Xu Kai, Chen Ruoxi judged with her keen eyes that "Ten Miles of Foreign Concessions" was the most promising movie since she started to get involved in the film industry.
The key point is that the new director Xu Kai does not have his own team and really needs a producer to partner with him.
Chen Ruoxi believed that this was a godsend opportunity and she must seize it.
Therefore, Chen Ruoxi was not only prepared to use up all her assets, but also to borrow money to gamble on this game.
To quote a saying often used by men: if you win, you get a luxury car and a young model, if you lose, you have to work in the adult industry.
Let’s do it!
Seeing the determination in Chen Ruoxi's eyes, Zhu Bing turned his head to Xu Kai: "How much did you spend?"
As soon as Zhu Bing said this, everyone understood that Zhu Bing was ready to support Xu Kailai as the director of "Shiliyangchang".
It cannot be said that no one has doubts about this.
But Xu Kai has conquered many people with a script he created on the spot, and even made the usually conservative Chen Ruoxi ready to gamble her entire fortune. The key is that Zhu Bing is there to protect Xu Kai, so who could raise any objections?
Xu Kai also saw the situation clearly, and said as the director of "Shiliyangchang": "30 million is enough."
Chen Ruoxi interjected, "The extra money can be used for publicity and promotion. With the 10 million I put out, we will have 80 million. We can definitely market it as a 100 million-dollar production."
When Chen Ruoxi said this, everyone thought that this was going to be a big deal.
You have to know that it is 2009 now, and there are only three to five big productions with a cost of over 100 million yuan each year. It is definitely at the top of the pyramid.
Xu Kai couldn't help but look at the woman who wanted to partner with him, and then he saw two big words written on her face - ambition! "In 2009, she dared to spend 50 million on publicity. My partner is really very courageous. It's quite interesting!"
Xu Kai nodded to Zhu Bing, indicating that he was willing to partner with Chen Ruoxi.
Seeing this, Zhu Bing turned to Yao Manling and said, "Sister Manling, I recommend Yu Qingyun to be the director and screenwriter of "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands", and I recommend Sister Ruoxi to be the producer of "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands". If anything goes wrong with them, I will be responsible."
Yao Manling was a canary who was obsessed with her husband before, how could she make a movie? To be honest, if Zhao Qihang hadn't forced her into a desperate situation, Yao Manling would not have made "Ten Miles of Foreign Lands".
It can be said that Yao Manling does not know how to care, nor is she willing to care.
In this case, since Zhu Bing, who has a strong background and is always reliable, has already found someone for her and even guaranteed her, Yao Manling gave her the power without saying anything: "Since I came to you for help, I naturally trust you. So, I will invest another 20 million, and we will raise a total of 100 million. In addition, we have a lot of people sitting on the bench at Pegasus. If you want to use them, I can assign them all to you..."
