Chapter 191: "Heart Labyrinth" Review and Investment

"What do you mean by just? Do you think this is nothing? We are in love, I am your girlfriend, we are together, not online love." Tiezi was upset when she heard the word just.

Shen Lang did say that she should not go if she was busy, and just video chat every day. She didn't want to go either, it was tiring, but she had to go to show that Shen Lang was taken, so that others would not have any ideas about him. She was curious about how Shen Lang looked handsome when he didn't change at all.

Of course, he was handsome when they first met, but it was not to this extent. She could only think that she liked Shen Lang too much.

"Xiao Yiyi, I said the wrong thing." Shen Lang said.

"Huh." Tiezi still enjoyed it in her heart, but she couldn't show it too obviously.

She didn't show it in the video, but Shen Lang was back, so it was right for her to act like a spoiled child, mainly because she felt it was unfair.

Can't you come back to see me during your vacation? You are not the protagonist, why are you staying in the crew every day? You can't always make me pay.

After coaxing Tiezi to sleep, Shen Lang couldn't fall asleep. He found that he seemed to be a little annoyed again, especially when comparing who paid more.

Forget it, I'll make it up to her these few days. I can't run away when I'm a little unhappy. It's too bad.

The next day.

"Be good, I'll pick you up in the evening. I won't come to eat at noon. I've made an appointment with Director Xin Yukun." Shen Lang kissed Tiezi goodbye. In BJ, he always sent Tiezi to and from get off work, unless there was a license plate restriction.

"Well, drink less wine." Tiezi said.

"I drink tea, why drink wine." After Shen Lang finished speaking, he watched Tiezi enter the door and drive away.

...

"Are you here?" Xin Yukun opened the door and saw Shen Lang, but he was not surprised. He had already notified him.

"Okay, director, you are so well dressed." This is a small but clean looking one.

"I dare not take credit for this. It's all your sister-in-law's fault. Why did you buy so much food? Okay, there's also wine. Let's have some." Xin Yukun took the cooked meat and cold dishes from Shen Lang's hand. These were all bought by Shen Lang downstairs.

"I won't drink the wine. You know I feel uncomfortable when I drink. This wine was given by a friend. It happened to be in the car. It's quite a waste. Bring it up to you. Let's have tea." Shen Lang said.

He brought a bottle of Moutai. In fact, the price was not cheap. It was more than a thousand. It was from that year. It was not appropriate to come to the door for the first time without bringing anything.

"Okay, sit down. You really bought too much cooked meat. You bought it downstairs. Your sister-in-law asked them to bring it up to me." Xin Yukun knew it as soon as he saw the packaging.

"Hey, sister-in-law, are you cooking?" Shen Lang was a little surprised to see Xin Yukun wearing an apron.

After he returned to BJ, he made an appointment with the other party. He originally planned to ask him to go out for a meal. He asked him to come to his house for a meal. Shen Lang didn't care.

"It's not a weekend off. I'm going to work. I don't dare to think about it. I usually cook at home. Anyway, I'm often at home. Occasionally, I send her lunch boxes. Her colleagues often say that Li Ang is here when they see me." Xin Yukun said.

He didn't feel embarrassed at all. He seemed very happy.

"I really don't know. I didn't see it when I was filming."

"Filming is filming, life is life. Come, have tea. There is a big dish, which is being stewed." Shen Lang said.

"I can help you with something."

"Don't, there's nothing to do. If I still ask you to work, I might as well go out to eat with you."

Shen Lang saw that there was really nothing to do. He looked around. The house was quite clean. Behind the TV wall opposite the sofa was a photo of Xin Yukun and his wife.

His wife was pretty and normal. Xin Yukun was also half an artist. He was doing this. The girls he attracted were also quite excellent.

Also, don't think that Xin Yukun had a particularly difficult time before the movie was released. It was only difficult for him after he became famous. Before he became famous, filmmakers who could independently attract investment were already considered middle-class in this circle.

"Here, this is noodle soup pancake, which is something from where I was born. I only know this one, and there are also home-cooked dishes.

Originally, I was best at the food in Xi'an, such as beef soup buns, but you just came back from northern Shaanxi, so you don't make that anymore."

"Your meal is too sumptuous." It was indeed sumptuous, with a full table.

"Is it your first time here? Please treat me well. You can be casual next time."

"Just casual."

"Haha, that saves trouble."

"Let's talk about serious things. How is the movie?" Shen Lang still pays attention to what he cares about.

"It's pretty good. It has been shortlisted for the FIRST Youth Film Festival. As for other film festivals, I'm still waiting. I'm just waiting for notification." Xin Yukun was still quite happy when he talked about this.

Even if the movie doesn't win an award, it's good to be nominated. Of course, winning an award is the best, but this thing can't be said.

"That's good. Hey, are you sure it's passed the review?" Shen Lang said.

"Yes, the notice came down two days ago. Otherwise, I wouldn't have invited you to this meal. You are a great contributor." Xin Yukun said.

"Alas, we can't participate in anything about this. I just think the word "funeral coffin" may be a bit scary. It would be better to change it to "heart labyrinth". The main thing is that your movie is good." Shen Lang said.

"There are reasons. Alas, it's a pity that some things were deleted, but the result is good," Xin Yukun still regretted it.

The movie was finished last year, and there was no major post-production. The materials were just those, and it was edited soon after shooting.

It started reviewing at the end of last year, and it was rejected a month later before the Chinese New Year. Xin Yukun was hit hard.

After Shen Lang found out, he comforted him and gave a suggestion. Was the name not good? It was mainly because it was realistic.

If you were to make a horror movie like Pen Fairy, you could get it approved with any name. But it’s a bit difficult to get a realistic theme with such a scary name. There are also some plot reasons.

Of course, it has to be re-edited. Xin Yukun can do it by himself, but before that, Shen Lang did something specifically. He took all the investment shares of "Heart Labyrinth".

He liked this project very much because he knew in his previous life that the movie had a good reputation. Otherwise, why would he invest in it when he was not sure about making money.

Xin Yukun was depressed for a long time. It was not until Shen Lang’s investment was in place that he slowly cheered up. He said not to think about getting back the money, but no one wanted to lose money.

After all, it is in this industry. If the box office fails, it will be extremely difficult to attract investment in the future. What's more, it costs money to redo the post-production.

After the movie is rejected by the censors, editing and other things will cost money, and there will be publicity in the post-production, which is not easy to attract.

Shen Lang is also an investor after all, and the second largest one. The largest one is the producer Ren Jiangzhou, who invested more than 600,000.
