Chapter 215 Invest in a Movie(1/2)
Ouyang Wanting finally understood what her daughter said, and she was really dumbfounded.
The sister Xiaoying mentioned by her daughter was a young actress who acted with her daughter in a previous crew.
She is eight years older than her daughter and is also a half-grown child.
After leaving the crew, my daughter and the child kept in contact, talking on the phone whenever anything was fine.
Now that I hear my daughter say this, I finally know what they usually talk about.
What's all this? These kids these days are really big as little people.
The little girl was in distress and didn't notice anything strange about her mother. She thought to herself and said: "Mom, when you gave me these exercises yesterday, I looked at them and found them very difficult. But today I went to Brother Xiaoming's place
After that, it came out in no time, and it wasn’t difficult at all.
Mom, tell me, have I fallen in love with Brother Xiaoming? What should I do? I’m still a child."
Ouyang Wanting looked at her daughter's troubled look and couldn't help but break the law immediately. She smiled and said, "Silly boy, it's not like this."
"Isn't that so?"
The little girl raised her head and looked at her mother.
Ouyang Wanting said kindly: "This is not what your sister Xiaoying said about being with the one you like... How should I put it? Sometimes, if you meet someone, it can make you feel safe... Well, that's it
It can make you feel safe and secure, and you will become more attentive when doing things, and it is easy to do things quickly and well.”
"Is that so?"
"Yes."
Ouyang Wanting nodded firmly: "Your brother Xiao Ming is probably the person who makes you feel very safe, so when you stay with him, you become more attentive and do the exercises quickly and well.
.Don’t I always tell you that you have to concentrate on doing things, and only by being single-minded can you get things done well? Isn’t that the truth?”
"Oh, is that so?"
The little girl began to think thoughtfully, with a little disappointment in her tone: "So, I don't like Brother Xiaoming anymore, I thought... um..."
Ouyang Wanting's method of educating children is based on books and videos. She never instills anything into her children, but guides them to think and gain their own ideas and concepts.
Therefore, she will not emphasize anything this time and will only let her daughter think about it by herself.
However, what her daughter said today made her more determined in her previous idea of making Qiu Ming her daughter's manager.
She felt that since her daughter trusted that boy so much, it was a good choice to let him become her daughter's agent.
She decided to call her husband tonight to discuss the matter.
…
For several days, Qiu Ming waited for Ouyang Wanting to come and talk to her.
After he listened to Zhuo Lan's words, he felt that Ouyang Wanting might come to talk to him about this matter.
He had already made up his mind to say that he was still a relatively novice agent and was not suitable to take care of a little girl, and then declined.
But what he didn't expect was that Ouyang Wanting never came to him.
It seems that Ouyang Wanting just asked Zhuo Lan about the situation before, and did not really want to come to him.
This made Qiu Ming secretly relieved. This was fine. He didn't even need to refuse politely. There was no need to offend anyone.
However, he had also secretly observed Ouyang Wanting in the past two days and found that the mother's face was not very good, she looked a bit haggard and tired, as if something had happened to her.
Although he had a little doubt in his heart, since they didn't say anything, he had no reason to take the initiative to ask, so everything was as usual.
A few days later, one-third of the filming of the movie was completed. One night, Zhang Ruoyin suddenly took several people from the crew to his room to drink together.
Qiu Ming was also summoned and was the last person to enter the house.
At the wine table, Zhang Ruoyin, Zhang Shan, Zhao Huanghuang, Panorama Fa, and Qi Hua were all seated. As soon as he walked in, everyone was there.
What's going on?
After he sat down, he found that the atmosphere at the wine table was a bit depressed, and there seemed to be a gloomy element floating in the air.
Everyone started drinking, and after a while, Qiu Ming finally understood the reason for the gloomy atmosphere. It turned out that he had just been informed by Panorama's assistant director who was in charge of money that the crew was running out of money.
This movie has only just finished shooting one-third of the way, and there are still many important scenes that have not yet been shot, and the money is gone. This really makes people don’t know what to say.
"How about I go back and sell the house!"
Zhao Huanghuang was the most heartless person. After he took a sip of the wine in his glass, he talked to himself.
Zhang Ruoyin's eyes widened when he heard this, and he cursed: "How dare you!"
Zhao Huanghuang said with a smile: "What am I afraid of? Sooner or later, my parents' house will be left to me anyway. Now I am eager to wait for the money. If I talk to them later, they will be willing to sell it. After all, this is
Support my career!"
After a slight pause, he added: "It's not like you don't know. I've been messing around a lot since I was a child. They both have always been worried about me. They didn't know how happy they were when they found out that the movie we made together won an award. At home,
I tell everyone about it and make it look like I won the Best New Director award... Well, I'll talk to them when I go back and they will support me."
"no!"
Zhang Ruoyin shook his head without hesitation: "That house is the property that Zhao's parents and Huang's mothers have worked hard for all their lives, and when they are old and young, they don't even have this support. Even if you can get through this kind of thing, I can't get through it here."
."
Zhao Huanghuang shook his head: "Then what do you think we should do? You sold all the houses in your hometown to get this little money. Now that this scene has been filmed and there is no money here, how else can you find money?"
Zhang Ruoyin took a sip of wine and said nothing.
When the others heard the conversation between Zhang Ruoyin and Zhao Huanghuang, they were all thinking about something and remained silent.
Qiu Ming has been on the crew for such a period of time and has a certain understanding of everyone's situation.
Zhang Ruoyin belongs to the kind of person whose parents both died. When he was still in elementary school, his mother died of illness, and then in high school, his father also died.
My only relative is an older sister who went to Binhai and is an ordinary white-collar worker.
In his hometown, he owned a house. During this filming, he sold the house without telling his sister to collect a sum of money.
Zhao Huanghuang's situation is slightly better than Zhang Ruoyin's. His parents are retired cadres and he owns a large house in the city, but this house cannot be moved. Zhao Huanghuang has always been lavish and he has no money at all.
As for Zhang Shan and Panorama Fa, Zhang Shan is a poor teacher. It is not easy to support his family and he definitely has no money. Needless to say, Panorama Fa is a single man with no money and no house. He is the kind of person whose life is at stake.
At this time, Qi Hua took out a card from his pocket and said: "I don't want the salary this time. There are fifty thousand in this card. Take it, and I won't have any more."
This is what reverse posting means...
Zhang Ruoyin raised his head, looked at Qi Hua and said: "Lao Qi, I can't ask for your money. I'm already very grateful that you can continue filming this movie. If I ask you to pay again... Well, I feel bad about this.
."
Everyone understood what he meant.
This drama has not received a filming permit, so I don’t know what will happen in the future.
As the actor who plays the protagonist, Qi Hua may be punished by the authorities in the future.
He took such a big risk to act, not only did he not get paid, but he also had to add money to it. This kind of thing is really unreasonable.
Moreover, Qi Hua is not a popular actor. His income is not high and he has to support his family. His money is really unbearable.
Qi Hua smiled and said, "It's okay. We've come this far, so we can't give up halfway, right? I'm also a member of the crew, so just treat it as an investment. If this show can really sell for money in the future, you can share it with me.
I have one."
The latter sentence is of course a joke. For a film without a filming permit, the road ahead is already half dead. It would be good if the cost can be recovered. How can you get a share?
However, everyone saw Qi Hua's sincerity.
Zhao Huanghuang poured wine for Qi Hua, then picked up the glass and touched Qi Hua's wine glass, then drank directly.
Qi Hua smiled and did it.
Suddenly, Zhang Shan asked in a somewhat difficult voice: "How about I change the script?"
When everyone heard this, they all looked up at Zhang Shan.
Zhang Shan met everyone's gaze and said with a wry smile: "It was because I didn't want to change the script in the first place that I couldn't find an investor because of that. Now the situation...well, I think maybe this is the only way to go."
Zhang Ruoyin thought for a while and said: "Brother Shan, this is not just your idea. When you said you wouldn't change the script, I agreed. Now we should think of other ways to change the script.
, don’t think about it yet.”
At the wine table, everyone was silent again.
Qiu Ming remained silent until he raised his head and asked Panorama: "Brother Fa, how much do you still owe for this movie?"
Panorama thought for a while and said: "We have spent more than 500,000 yuan before, and it is estimated that we will need this amount later. We still have more than 100,000 yuan left on hand, and the shortfall is about 400,000 to 500,000 yuan.
Bar.
Qiu Ming asked: "Is this enough?"
Panorama said: "If we can shoot faster, it should be enough."
Qiu Ming thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll take 500,000 and invest some."
Everyone was startled when they heard this, and all raised their heads to look at Qiu Ming.
