Chapter 59: At least two meals together

"The steak is good!" Bai Youlou commented while eating.

Who knows, family members.

This kind of rice is the best!
Other men buy it for girls, and girls turn around and give it to themselves
That's good, at least it gives that guy a sense of participation.
However, Bai Youlou felt that he was not eating for free, as he also "returned the gift" at the hotel entrance.

The small price tag was given by a roadside staff member when he was leaving the Cinema Palace.

But as long as the intention is there, it's enough.

"Really? Is it that delicious? It's getting a little cold now!"

Hu Manyin held her chin and sat opposite Bai Youlou, watching him wolf down the food with a smile on her face. She was worried that the steak was not as hot as when it was just cooked and would not taste good, but Bai Youlou did not seem to mind.

That's good!
After all, her senior brother who embarrassed her did something good.

"Don't you want some? He bought this for you, right?"

After finishing most of the Tomahawk steak in one breath, Bai Youlou remembered that Hu Manyin seemed to have not eaten a single bite.

Hu Manyin shook her head. "I really never eat at night."

"Yeah, she's a female star."

But Bai Youlou still politely picked up a piece of steak and put it to Hu Manyin's mouth.

The girl didn't hesitate at all and started eating.

After eating, her face turned red, "It's really delicious."

"Haha, is that so~"

While Bai Youlou continued to eat, Hu Manyin seemed to want to find a topic and asked again: "How is the sale of our copyright going?"

Bai Youlou thought for a moment, "Today's screening was quite good, and with the help of media brochures and other things to promote it, I think it will be easier to sell the copyright later. I've only sold the copyrights to a few small countries and regions before, for about 200,000 yuan."

"Only over 200,000? It's much cheaper than I thought!"

"Dollars."

The change of measurement unit surprised Hu Manyin. "It's more than one million RMB! How much is the investment in this movie?"

"The production cost plus other expenses is about 7-8 million. It should be controlled at more than 7 million."

This is not something worth keeping secret, and Bai Youlou did not hide it.

Although more than one million may seem like a lot, in fact, in Cannes, the cheapest copyright price is around 50,000 or 60,000 US dollars.

Bai Youlou and his team actually sold some of them at a very low price.

Mainly for opening a business.

The real big money still has to go to the big international copyright holders. These people are more cunning and like to buy in packages. The price for a single region may not be as much as selling individually, but Bai Youlou and his people don't have that much time to keep selling them country by country.

In the end, you still have to bargain with the copyright holders.

And "winning awards" is a very important bargaining factor.

Bai Youlou himself thought that it would be best to negotiate and sell the bulk of the copyright before the award ceremony.

He won't put his hopes on winning an award. He will just find some brochures to brag about himself and make himself look like a favorite to win an award so that he can negotiate the price.

After talking about these, we talked about winning awards.
After all, it was not a reporter's interview, and Bai Youlou actually told the truth!

"If I make the relationship between the male lead and the second male lead in the movie a little more weird, forget it, just be straightforward, gay, the chances of winning an award might be higher."

Hu Manyin was completely speechless, "Is this true?"

"Political correctness. Just now, an audience member complained with a look of regret on his face. The emotions in my whole movie are so explosive. In the eyes of some people, this should have generated some love. It's hard to describe the taste of foreigners. If you want to win some international awards in the future, you can try this kind of subject matter."

The Bai Youlou who was talking about the movie in front of him completely shattered the image of the thief Bai Youlou.

There was a different light in Hu Manyin's eyes. At this moment, she looked like someone who was eager to show off herself in front of the other person and try to get on the same wavelength with him.

I frantically searched for a lot of knowledge in my head and tried to piece together a question, "I've seen a lot of films about the lower classes of society that easily win awards."

"Yes, thinking about society and reality is also a kind of political correctness, but I won't shoot it."

"Director Bai, you are quite a man of integrity!" Hu Manyin exclaimed.

Bai Youlou glanced at her in confusion and said, "I have no experience or understanding in this area, so I just can't take the photo."

Just like singing a song, if there is a story behind it, it can make the audience more involved.

For Bai Youlou, making movies is actually more of a way to vent his inner emotions.

Moreover, a movie is different from a song. The process of making a movie takes too long, and the director at the helm needs sufficient emotional support.

That's why he chose Whiplash.

Finished a whole Tomahawk steak.

To be honest, Bai Youlou's eating manners were not very good, but Hu Manyin watched his eating show with an "appreciative" look.

Of course, it's also thanks to her.

The girl leaned over the table and put the two on it as well.

Maybe it's to lighten the burden.

After she returned to the hotel, she changed into some very light clothes.

The lower body is a pair of shorts, and the upper body is a loose T-shirt with a large neckline.

How big is the neckline?
When the two were placed on the table, Bai Youlou could clearly see that with Hu Manyin's movements, they were deformed and squeezed in various ways.
They express their excellence from various angles.

It's not that this girl is watching Bai Youlou's food broadcast, it's clearly that Bai Youlou is using her to eat with him.

To be honest, it really looks good.

He likes this kind of rich and generous people.

Although Hu Manyin's appearance is not as domineering as An Luning, she has a girlish look and her figure also gives her a faint smell of a wife, as if one can smell a hint of meat out of thin air.

Having said that, although they have been "living together" for a few days, Bai Youlou has hardly interacted with Hu Manyin in this room.

He is too busy, so when he comes back he just takes a shower and goes to bed.

Hu Manyin was in a similar situation. As a young girl, she was too embarrassed to hang around in the living room, so she basically stayed in her room and didn't come out.

Maybe it was because of her self-esteem. If Bai Youlou hadn't treated her like a beast of burden, this girl probably wouldn't be able to speak complete sentences in front of him until now.

As for the fact that I still can’t guess her emotions now, they must be very complicated.

It's already past ten o'clock in the evening. Normally, Bai Youlou should get ready to go to bed as he has a lot of things to do tomorrow.

But today, in view of Hu Manyin's "generous display", he was not so anxious. He looked at Hu Manyin steadily and seemed to start deep thought.

Under the orange-yellow light of the living room, after Hu Manyin noticed Bai Youlou's gaze, she first shrank back, but this time she did not avoid his gaze and bravely looked into his eyes.

The refinement of her facial features may not be at the T0 level in the entertainment industry. She even looks a little fierce when she doesn't smile, because her pointed chin gives her a bit of coolness.

But her eyes looked very beautiful under the dim light, with a hint of charm, and just a blink of her eyes seemed to have said something.

What I was thinking was: should I use a clip sound to say a cute "good night"?

Or maybe send your blessing to the upcoming award ceremony.
Before she could organize all the happiness in her heart, Bai Youlou spoke:

"Normally, we should have at least two meals together, talk about our life ideals, and then get a room and have sex, but my time is really limited, so can I just give you the money for the two meals and start now?"

Hu Manyin: ???
