Making money starts with self-discipline every day

Chapter 159 Dedication to Art

You Qian and Ying Bao were walking on the street, the street was brightly lit and busy with traffic, but Ying Bao seemed a little depressed.

You Qian felt a little sorry for Ying Bao, if he hadn't been with him this time, maybe Ying Bao would not have encountered such a thing, and it was obvious that Uncle Zhang made things difficult for Ying Bao just now because of himself.

You Qian said: "Sister Ying, I'm sorry, I let you miss the opportunity today, I'm sorry."

Ying Bao smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, and it's not the first time. In fact, sometimes I wonder why the decision-making power of art should be in the hands of those dirty people. In the past, people said I don’t know much about dedicating myself to art, but now I finally understand, dedicating myself to art.”

Looking at Ying Bao who smiled wryly, You Qian suddenly felt that he felt sorry for the other party. Moreover, Ying Bao was still protecting himself just now, and was afraid that he would conflict with Zhang Bo. Thinking of this, You Qian felt that he should do something.

You Qian and Ying Bao wandered aimlessly on the street, chatting, talking about film and television, family, and everything. In the end, the two discovered that the other party was actually a person from the countryside. A little more kind.

There are many suitors around Yingbao, but when Yingbao looks at the rich second-generation cars and watches, she feels indifferent, not because she doesn't like these things, but because she doesn't like others using these things to curry favor For her, compared to luxury cars and watches, Ying Bao prefers the feeling of picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence. For example, when You Qian talked about his life in the countryside, Ying Bao listened with gusto.

You Qian and Ying Bao had been walking on the street for several hours, and they were just about to find a hotel to rest. At this time, the director of "Hua Yi Gu" just called Ying Bao, expressing that he wanted to talk to her alone.

Ying Bao thought about it, and agreed. After a while, the director came to see Ying Bao and You Qian alone, and the three of them sat down at a barbecue stand.

The director ordered a lot of things to entertain You Qian and Ying Bao, and apologized to them: "I'm really sorry at the hotel just now, Zhang Bo is a big investor in the film, and he has a temper, I hope you will forgive me."

You Qian said: "Poor moral character and bad temper are two different things."

The director smiled, did not refute, and continued: "Actually, this time, I still want to persuade you, Ying Bao, that you are definitely suitable to play the heroine in this drama. I will communicate with Uncle Zhang again. Let’s try to work together this time.”

Ying Bao shook his head: "I think he may not be so easy to communicate with."

At this time, You Qian asked: "As a director, how can you allow investors to intervene too much in the selection and shooting of the film and television? Such a messy arrangement by an amateur will make the whole film mess up."

The director smiled bitterly and said: "Although there are many investors in the TV drama industry, it is not so easy to find, especially for directors like us who are not very famous. Everyone is afraid that the TV drama will not be popular and lose money in investment. The status in the drama is also very important, and you can even arrange male and female protagonists at will."

You Qian asked: "Then can you change the big investor of your crew?"

After hearing this question from You Qian, the director was stunned for a moment, and said: "It is definitely possible to change, we are afraid that the other party will withdraw the capital. After all, the crew has done a lot of preparatory work and spent money. It may be difficult to replace the big investor." We have to pay the other party part of the liquidated damages.”

You Qian continued to ask: "How much did Uncle Zhang invest this time?"

The director thought for a while and said, "Probably more than 2000 million. If he withdraws the capital and the crew defaults on the contract, we may have to return him 3000 million."

"3000 million?" You Qian was a little surprised.

The director smiled. He thought You Qian was intimidated by this number, and explained: "Actually, this is also for scoring TV drama genres and watching cast members. Some TV dramas cost hundreds of millions. 3000 million is actually not a big investment. If a TV drama If it’s hot, it’s easy to recover the cost.”

The director is actually speaking nice words now. After all, there are not many TV dramas that are popular, especially for directors like him who are not particularly famous, and there are very few popular dramas. Many popular online novels, once adapted for film and television, It's basically cold.

You Qian thought for a while, and asked the director: "Do you want to change to a big investor for your crew?"

The director smiled: "If someone is willing to shoot 3000 million yuan, I'd be very willing. After all, an investor like Zhang Bo interferes too much in the personnel arrangement of the TV series, so that I don't know what to say, but, No rich man is willing to take such a risk, if you invest 3000 million in a TV series, if it goes wrong, you will have to lose a lot of money."

You Qian patted the table and said, "I voted for 3000 million, how about it? Director, Sister Ying, let's work hard together!"

Sister Ying and the director were startled by You Qian's decision. The director even dropped the roasted lamb kidney that he just picked up to eat, and asked with a blank face, "Brother, are you kidding me?"

You Qian said with a smile: "3000 million, replace the investor with me, and choose Miss Ying as the heroine. Can you do it? In a word."

The director nodded heavily: "If there are 3000 million, it can be done."

"Okay, then it's such a happy decision." You Qian said with a smile: "I will ask my lawyer to contact you to handle the procedures and transfer the money. We will get this matter done as soon as possible."

After the three of them ate the barbecue, the director felt a little unreal. However, You Qian's lawyer contacted him that night and even paid for the money. He was not afraid of the director running away with the money. As if waking up from a dream, at the same time, my heart became inexplicably hot, thinking of You Qian's arrogance when he said he had a big fight, the director's eyes were about to burn with flames.

After parting ways with the director, Ying Bao looked at You Qian in surprise and asked, "Why did you spend so much money investing in a TV series that you don't know whether it will be successful?"

You Qian said with a smile: "Because I'm sure this drama will be popular, I will definitely be able to earn back, and I can also earn a lot?"

Ying Bao asked puzzledly, "Why do you think this show is going to be popular?"

You Qian smiled, stroked Ying Bao's hair and said, "Because, the heroine of this show is you."

Faced with You Qian's sudden molestation, Ying Bao blushed, turned around and said, "Little brother still dares to moleste me, believe it or not, I'll blow my tricks and make you cry to death."

You Qian smiled and said, "I don't believe it."

Ying Bao turned her body back again, facing You Qian and said, "You are really a surprising younger brother, don't worry, I will definitely do my best to perform this play well."

You Qian and Ying Bao found a hotel to live in. When they parted, Ying Bao looked at You Qian and said sincerely: "You Qian, thank you, I will always remember that you gave me the first performance. The heroine's chance, believe me, I will not let you down."

You Qian nodded: "Well, I believe you."

The day after the director received the money from You Qian, Uncle Zhang wanted to temporarily add another actor, and it was a female character, young, beautiful, and well-built. Originally, the ratio of male to female in this drama was three to one, but now it is almost One to three.

The director directly rejected Zhang Bo this time, and still with a very arrogant and arrogant attitude. Zhang Bo was dissatisfied and threatened the director that he would withdraw the capital.

Then, Uncle Zhang got 3000 million in a daze. How hot it is in the future, I will regret it until my intestines are green.
