I Become A Noble in England

"Come, try my cooking skills. According to our Chinese tradition, we have to eat dumplings today."

Today is the Lunar New Year's Eve, and Barron is spending it with Fan Bingbing at her home in Shanghai.

She is a northern girl, so the dumplings she makes look more realistic than the ones Wang Wanting made in London.

At this time, Fan Bingbing had finished filming with the crew of "The Warring States" and came to meet Barron.

"Don't worry, it's still a little hot. I'll go get you a dish of vinegar."

Speaking of which, Barron hasn't felt this kind of atmosphere for a long time. Suddenly, he seemed to have returned to his previous life, when he was still a Chinese.

"It's delicious. I like the pork and cabbage stuffing."

Hearing Barron's praise, Fan Bingbing's big eyes immediately smiled into crescents, and she said happily:

"Actually, I think the dumplings stuffed with Spanish mackerel made by my mom are more delicious. Are you still here on New Year's Eve? Then you can come to my house to feel the atmosphere of the Spring Festival here, and eat a lot of delicious food made by my mom, some of which I can't even cook..."

"It may not work this year. I will go back to Melbourne in two days, and then go to America..."

Seeing Fan Bingbing's slightly disappointed look, Barron patted her hands and said softly:

"I'll be coming here quite often in the next two months. By the way, how's the movie I invested in going?"

"Are you talking about Crazy Stone? It was finished a long time ago. The film was shot very quickly, in just over 40 days, and it will be released this year..."

Previously, Barron invested and registered a company in China under the name of Fan Bingbing, called Tianhe Capital.

Speaking of which, in Barron's previous life, Fan Bingbing also had a lot of companies under her name, but the names she came up with were a bit hard to describe...

It's either "Meitao" or "Meishen" or something like that… This may also be because her mother, Fan, who often holds shares on her behalf, has the word "Mei" in her name.

Barron and Fan Bingbing are both very satisfied with the name "Tianhe". After all, there is "harmony between man and nature" in Chinese culture, and for women, "a match made in heaven" will be more touching.

After Tianhe Capital was established, it invested in "Crazy Stone" by new director Ning Hao.

At that time, the film had already been approved and had received a 3 million Chinese yuan investment from King Liu's "Asian New Director Project".

Although these funds are enough to start filming Ning Hao's film, they are still a bit stretched - the script of "Crazy Stone" was actually completed by Ning Hao in 2000. It was originally called "Big Diamond". Later, the jade in the movie was originally set to be diamond.

However, because the cost of using diamonds was too high, it was later changed to "Crazy Stone"...

In the original time and space, King Liu later added funds to complete the production of the film. After its release, it earned more than 20 million Chinese yuan at the box office, which was considered a hit among low-budget movies at the time.

The crew of "Crazy Stone" arrived in Shancheng in October to prepare for filming. At that time, before Fan Bingbing went to film "The Warring States", he went to Shancheng to meet Ning Hao. After listening to the idea of ​​the movie and reading the script, Tianhe Capital invested 2 million Chinese yuan in "Crazy Stone" - in fact, the final production of the original time and space movie cost almost this much money.

One is King Liu, and the other is Fan Bingbing, one of the most famous actresses in mainland China. In fact, as a northern girl, Fan Bingbing is very generous in private and has a very loyal character. When getting along with director Ning Hao, who was not as famous as he is now, and other actors in the crew, she did not put on any airs at all, and won the favor of everyone. The two of them invested in this work of their new director, which made Ning Hao feel very lucky, and he secretly decided to make a good movie.

"I watched a rough cut by Director Ning Hao before. It's a really good movie. It feels a bit like those cult movies in Europe and America. It's a very special comedy. It seems that our investment this time has really struck gold..."

In fact, at the beginning, Fan Bingbing also asked Barron how he knew about this movie and wanted to invest in it.

At that time, Barron's answer to her was that he had heard about such a movie from others, and it seemed quite interesting and required little investment, making it a suitable film as Tianhe Capital's first trial.

Well, the main reason was that I naturally couldn't tell her the real reason. I couldn't just say that this was a movie that Barron liked very much in his previous life, and that the movie became a hit. Not only did it make Ning Hao a backbone of Chinese-language films, but three movie emperors later appeared in the crew. To put it bluntly, this investment by Tianhe Capital can be regarded as an investment in a new force in the future of Chinese films.

"Next, you can look for movies you like and want to act in, or you can invest in them. There aren't many projects in Hollywood that are suitable for you this year, but next year you will have more opportunities to enter the international market."

"Well, I'll listen to you..."

Fan Bingbing was very happy that Barron could consider himself so much.

Speaking of which, there was originally an opportunity that was more suitable for Fan Bingbing this year, that was "Mission Impossible 3" produced by Paramount and starring Tom Cruise. There was a role in it, which was the role played by the original Chinese mixed-race actress Maggie Q...

However, during the filming of this movie, Fan Bingbing had already taken on "The Warring States", which conflicted with the filming of this movie, and Tianhe Capital was unable to participate in the investment, so he had to give up.

As for Big Brother Cheng's "Rush Hour 3" which will be filmed this year, although there is a role suitable for Fan Bingbing, the production cost of the film was as high as 140 million US dollars, but the final box office was only more than 200 million US dollars, which can be said to be a bloody flop, and the reputation of this film is also average, so there is no need to participate in it.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

This year, we will let Fan Bingbing participate in major productions in China. Next year, when Barron has made his plans in Hollywood, it will not be a problem to give her some good roles.

…

Just as Barron told Fan Bingbing, after spending three days with her in Shanghai, he left China and boarded the Devonshire to Melbourne.

While on the plane, Barron saw a report that was sent to him. He couldn't help but look out the window at the sea of ​​clouds outside and fell into silence for a moment.

This report was delivered by a Chinese team affiliated with the Barron Intelligence Center after they visited Qin Island in China.

The content is very simple. Through their investigation, they found that all the people named "Chen Kai" they could find in Qindao did not match the information provided by Barron, including the university in Barron's previous life, which did not have any students who met the requirements.

Moreover, the owner of the address he gave was not surnamed Chen - the other party had lived there for more than ten years.

There are no residents in the entire community who meet the requirements.

Through all this, Barron has basically confirmed that it seems that he, and even his family, no longer exist in this world... In fact, he had vaguely guessed this before, but after truly confirming this fact, it still took some time for him to accept it emotionally.
