Chapter 114 If people are not good enough, don’t blame the uneven road
After sleeping on the plane, Shen Lang suddenly felt a burst of hot air next to his ears.
When he opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful flight attendant blowing hot air into his ear.
"Sir, we will be here soon."
He looked up and saw that Astro was already awake, drinking coffee and reading a magazine.
When the plane landed, it was also their private airport, and an extended business car was waiting for the three of them.
In front of the car, a middle-aged man wearing a butler's outfit was waiting beside the car.
After Ye Xiu saw this guy, he whispered in Shen Lang's ear.
"This man is not simple."
Shen Lang was stunned. He naturally knew what he meant by not being simple, and his eyes suddenly became curious.
Before getting in the car, the housekeeper and Ye Xiu looked at each other and said nothing.
In the car, Astro took out the wine very skillfully. This guy likes drinking very much.
At first, he seemed to be restrained, but now that he's matured, his true nature is revealed.
We drove for more than an hour and drove into the mountains.
Shen Lang frowned: "Do you live in the mountains?"
"Normally, the manor is idle most of the time, and we only get together when necessary.
I originally wanted to grow grapes here and make some good wine for myself to drink, but accidentally it became too big, so I simply changed it into a manor."
Shen Lang:????
Shen stepped on the horse accidentally, and now he seriously suspected that this guy was pretending to be cool with him, but he still held back.
Not long after entering the mountain, we arrived at his family's manor. There was a sign above that no strangers were allowed to enter, otherwise there would be consequences.
Only then did he remember what Astro said just now.
"By the way, let's come to the manor. Are there any activities at your house? It doesn't look good if I come here empty-handed."
"It's okay, I'm not short of money. As for the matter, you'll know it soon." Astro said nonchalantly.
He's convinced now that this guy is just showing off, but he can't seem to refute it. What should he do if he's a little angry?
After entering the manor, it reminded him of an idol drama he once watched called "Princess Little Sister".
The big boss there is the richest man in the continent.
But now Shen Lang sees a mere movie family, but it is not that terrifying existence.
He knew that the filming of the TV series was still too conservative. A scene like riding a horse would make an ordinary person unable to think of why they lived in such a big place.
After arriving at the manor house, it would not feel crowded if there were hundreds of people living here.
After entering, he tried not to look at the twenty beautiful young maids in black stockings.
Followed Astro all the way to the living room.
After opening the door, there were at least dozens of people here, and there was a middle-aged man on crutches in the main seat.
He looked to be in his fifties, but Shen Lang knew that this guy's actual age must be much older.
The moment they opened the door, Shen Lang knew something was wrong. The atmosphere was completely like a family meeting.
This guy Astro actually brought himself here, is this really okay?
The middle-aged man looked at them with unkind eyes, and then looked at Astro.
"Today is a family meeting. Don't you know? I brought irrelevant people here. My patience has its limit!"
As soon as Astro's temper reached this point, his temper increased more than a hundred times, and he immediately became angry.
"You're not welcome? Okay, I'll continue to be my psychiatrist. Let's go."
After saying that, he pulled Shen Lang and they were about to leave.
"Stop! Find a place to sit down." The middle-aged man said helplessly.
When Shen Lang saw this scene, he cried out.
This boy has a good handle on his father, and it seems that his family is very dissatisfied with him being a direct descendant of the family becoming a psychiatrist.
The middle-aged man saw them sitting down and continued.
“The profits of several of our companies this year are eight percentage points less than last year, and they continue to decline.
Don’t you have anything to say?”
At this time, a man who was somewhat similar to Astro, but older, spoke first.
“The impact of new media now has a big impact on movies. Although it has made many unpopular movies popular, it also has a big impact on our movies.
Coupled with unnecessary expenses, our finances are not looking good."
Before the middle-aged man could speak, Astro suddenly said.
"Aren't you just dissatisfied with the sample I took? There's no need to beat around the bush.
I thought it was only tens of millions, and it wouldn't bring down the finances so much.
Also, you didn’t mention the director’s waste at all?”
The man was stunned for a moment when he was told this. He didn't expect him to be so straightforward again, but he still retorted calmly.
"It's not the director's fault, it's your script that doesn't work. Our vision is not wrong.
Hundreds of years of experience is not something that a layman like you can understand."
After saying this, it was like knocking over a powder keg, Astro stood up suddenly.
However, before he spoke, another voice spoke first.
“Don’t talk about uneven roads if people are not fair.
If you don’t understand the script and your skills are not good enough, then don’t pretend to be awesome!”
It was Shen Lang who spoke. At this moment, he was finally happy. Astro had pretended to be a coward for him just now, but now he felt better.
If these were all of Pen Shenlang's previous works, he would have been silent, but for Penka God's works, he really couldn't stand it.
Are you saying that Cameron's works are not good? Does the horse rider have eyes that reach up to his butt?
But now the middle-aged man spoke.
"Astro, your friend doesn't seem to know the word politeness. Is this your rule for making friends? I've learned psychology from dogs!"
At this time Astro also began to side with Shen Lang.
"I choose to believe in my friend. He is a director who can create miracles. He has never failed!"
The middle-aged man sneered and said, "Really? How many works has he directed?"
Shen Lang replied in a deep voice: "Including animation, there are four in total."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present laughed. A guy who has directed four movies dares to talk nonsense here?
With four movies under his belt, it would be an understatement to say that he is a semi-newcomer.
Then the middle-aged man continued: "Four works, and an animation, how much box office can it have? How many millions? Or tens of millions? Or hundreds of millions?"
He originally wanted to mock Shen Lang, but he started to think seriously.
Add it all up, and other miscellaneous income, do a simple calculation and say.
"Not counting the TV anime, the box office of the three movies is about 7 billion."
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Quiet, very quiet, you can almost hear a pin drop.
Three movies, seven billion?
This is simply a terrifying number. What does it mean?
This guy makes movies, one or the other, and it's a hit!
They won't suspect Shen Lang of lying, because if you check this kind of thing online, even if you can't get accurate data, you can still be close to ten or ninety-nine.
At this time, everyone around him looked very strange, especially the middle-aged man.
After thinking for a long time, he said.
"The seven billion you mentioned, shouldn't it be island currency?"
