Porcelain to Porcelain

The Spring Festival is approaching, and the upcoming Spring Festival New Year's greeting expenses make Lu Qiu's head very big.

After coming to this world for half a year, I got more than 600 red money after running around with Jiang Ge for a few days. The film "Spring and Autumn Love" paid [-] yuan, and the group performance salary for two months was [-] yuan. The total was less than [-] yuan.

The income of 1000 was given to Lu Chunhua [-], and the rest was spent on living expenses, clothes and other supplies. Now, there are only more than [-] left in Lu Qiuku's pocket.

Don't buy gifts to go to relatives' house to pay New Year's greetings, the siblings save enough.But the Lu family owes relatives more than 01:30. The Lu family has borrowed money from almost all relatives, sold the house and paid off the money, and the debt of favor cannot be said and paid off.Some relatives have borrowed money for as long as seven years, and the bank interest for the seven years is not counted. The relatives have lost a lot just because the price has risen and the money has depreciated.

In addition to borrowing money, there is also the favor of the concierge grandfather to find a relationship for Lu Qiusheng to go to school. Lu Qiu replaced Lu Qiusheng's life, and Lu Qiusheng inherited all the good and bad. Anyone who has a heart to repay his kindness must help Lu Qiusheng repay.

Lu Qiu did the math, and estimated that the cost of purchasing new year's goods plus New Year's gifts would cost around four thousand, a difference of three thousand.There are two reasons for not reaching out to Lu Chunhua for this money.One is to put money on Lu Chunhua, which is her heart. With a little money, Lu Chunhua has a little confidence in her heart, and she will not be too frugal and work hard at night.In addition, driven by Lu Qiu's self-esteem, the pressure of life cannot be borne by a woman.

During his odd jobs in the film and television city, Lu Qiu completed three books in total. In addition to "Farewell My Concubine", there is also a movie version of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and a slightly adapted "Ghost Love".

The classics copied from copycats have different styles, and the writing of the same author has its own style. The style of the works is too different, which will make people doubt and lead to investigation.In order to prevent unnecessary troubles, Lu Qiu did not use a pen name to submit the manuscript.

"Farewell My Concubine" and "The Love of Ghosts" are both literary and artistic, and they use the pen name of late autumn, which is the reverse homonym of Qiusheng. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" belongs to the genre of martial arts, and uses the pseudonym Jin Daxia.

Using the martial arts pseudonym Jin Daxia exposed Lu Qiu's mind. He wanted to copy all the classic novels of Jin Dashen.Jin Dashen's novels are all long, with about a million words, and the handwriting speed is slow and exhausting. Lu Qiu is going to wait until he buys a computer before copying the cottage.

Novels with different styles are submitted to different publishing houses and novel publications.Before the Spring Festival, the "Xiafeng" novel publication submitted by "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" responded, informing Lu Qiu that the manuscript was adopted, and the novel will be published in the journal next April.

Because Lu Qiu's copyright is not for sale, only the rights to the first issue of "Xiafeng" are given. In addition, Lu Qiu is a new author and has no reputation. The fee for a thousand-character manuscript is not high, and the total manuscript fee is only about [-].

The [-] manuscript fees cannot be expected before the Spring Festival, and "Xiafeng" will not be remitted until after the festival.

In order to let his sister have a good New Year and return some favors to relatives, Lu Qiu is going to borrow money to deal with it. If he has no money, he can only borrow it.There are only two friends who are close enough to borrow money, Wang Gui and Ding Xiaoqiang.

These two, the relationship between Wang Gui and Lu Qiu, in a sense, is more of a partner than a friend.Wang Gui values ​​Lu Qiu because he thinks that Lu Qiu has potential in the entertainment industry, and helping Lu Qiu get rewards is a profit.

As for Ding Xiaoqiang, Lu Qiu is pleasing to the eye, worth playing with, and pure in mind.

It is best for the partner not to owe much personal affection, so Lu Qiu decided to ask Ding Xiaoqiang to borrow money.

Ding Xiaoqiang readily agreed and asked Lu Qiu to go to Jiang Ge to get the money.

When we arrived at Brother Jiang's house, Mother Jiang was still sitting in front of the big screen watching TV in the lobby downstairs.Upstairs there was a table of people pushing Pai Gow, Ding Xiaoqiang was taking care of it, Jiang Ge was not in the room.

Ding Xiaoqiang saw Lu Qiu get up immediately, and the two left the room and went outside.

The gambler who opened the bank was the matchmaker who happened to make a fortune because of the backlog of goods and the price increase.When Lu Qiu entered, the cards were about to be played on the gaming table, and all the gamblers were so engrossed that no one noticed that Lu Qiu came in and went out.

"Here." Ding Xiaoqiang took out a stack of hundred yuan notes from his trouser pocket and stuffed them into Lu Qiu's hand.

Lu Qiu used his hands to estimate the number. "Ten thousand here, right? It's enough to lend me three thousand, not so much."

"Take it, put it on your body if you have too much, I have nothing left, lending you the money is equivalent to depositing it in the bank, and you will pay me back later when you are in trouble." Ding Xiaoqiang said with a face full of indifference.

To say more is hypocritical and polite, Lu Qiu smiled and accepted the money.

After putting away the money, Lu Qiu asked, "Is Brother Jiang here?"

"Yes, upstairs." Ding Xiaoqiang pointed to the third floor. "Wang Gui brought Director Xie to talk to Brother Jiang."

"Director Xie talking to Brother Jiang?" Lu Qiu was surprised. "Isn't it to lobby Jiang Ge to sponsor the film?"

"I don't know, Wang Gui came over a few days ago and talked with Brother Jiang alone." Ding Xiaoqiang thought for a while and suggested: "Why don't you go upstairs and listen?"

"Well, I'll go up and have a look." Lu Qiu frowned slightly.It seems that the results of Xie Pu's running of funds are not satisfactory, even Jiang Ge, who started a private bet, came here to try.

Lu Qiu went up to the third floor and knocked on the door to enter. Xie Pu and Brother Jiang faced each other, dancing and spitting, and Wang Gui sat beside him very quietly.Jiang Ge seemed unable to withstand Shep's offensive, and moved his butt around on the chair.

"Lu Qiu, you're here." Jiang Ge was relieved when someone came in to interrupt him.

Xie Pu was also very happy to see Lu Qiu: "Lu Qiu, it's just in time for you to come, come and persuade Boss Jiang, investing in "Farewell My Concubine" will definitely not lose money."

"I'm very optimistic about Director Xie's level." Lu Qiu raised his hand and scratched the short hair on the back of his head, firmly concluding that this conclusion is too arbitrary.

"Look, Lu Qiu can guarantee the ticket." Xie Pu spoke boldly, Lu Qiu opened his mouth and did not dare to deny that Xie Pu was demolished.

Xie Pu approached Jiang Ge and continued to lobby: "Is there any interest in putting money in the bank? Investment and filming are very profitable. Have you seen "Spring and Autumn Love and Enmity"? The TV series that Lu Qiu acted in?"

"I just watched the TV series when it first aired, and it's pretty good." Because of Lu Qiu, not only Brother Jiang watched it, but Ding Xiaoqiang, who doesn't like dramas, also didn't watch an episode.

"The filming cost of the TV series was more than 300 million, plus other miscellaneous expenses such as the script and publicity, a total of 500 million. Do you know how much the broadcast rights were sold for? More than 1000 million! Li Weiming's grandson made a net profit of 500 million! It's both profit and profit!" Thank you Pu cursed the original partner: "My good grandson wants to pull me to make a sequel, slandering and belittling "Farewell My Concubine" everywhere in the circle. Pooh, "Farewell My Concubine" is much more high-end than my good grandson's brain-dead drama!"

Because Li Weiming was playing tricks behind his back, those who originally intended to sponsor and invest were hesitant.The mutual friends of the two basically listened to Li Weiming's judgment, and the funds were not obtained. Instead, they persuaded Xie Pu to face the market to make money, and not to follow the style of literary and art blogs.

"But "Spring and Autumn Love and Enmity" is very good. My mother and I both want to watch the sequel."

"Cough! Cough!..." Brother Jiang almost choked Xie Pu with a single sentence. "That, that, after I film "Farewell My Concubine", I will consider making a sequel in Spring and Autumn. Uh, let's shoot "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" first, Boss Jiang, I promise, you will definitely not lose out on investing in "Farewell My Concubine". "

Lu Qiu touched his nose, Xie Pu really dared to make a promise, put it on Lu Qiu, Lu Qiu would not dare to make such a promise.In the previous life, "Farewell My Concubine" gained both fame and fortune. In this life, different actors and different directors, who can guarantee 100% replication of the success of the previous life.

Xie Pu talked about this part, Jiang Ge was said to be moved, and agreed to inject 30 yuan.

The funds that Shepp has drawn so far do not exceed 300 million, and 30 is far from enough.Shep teased Jiang Ge to lobby the gamblers who came here to gamble.These gamblers all have some net worth. Shep thought, one person would be 40 million, and ten would be 400 million. If there are 20 people to lobby, there will be a gap in the remaining funds.

Since Brother Jiang agreed to invest in shares, he naturally wanted to help Xie Pu.Two days later, Jiang Ge hosted a banquet for more than 30 powerful gamblers.At the banquet, Jiang Ge, Xie Pu, and Wang Gui took turns to give speeches on stage, inciting gamblers to invest in filming.

Most of the gamblers belong to the low-level upstarts, making TV and movies is very high in their eyes, and they are very interested in injecting money to make movies.

Hobbies are hobbies, this group of upstarts is very shrewd, this one said that with an injection of 30 yuan, the name of his braised vegetable shop must appear in the movie.The one said to sponsor 50 yuan, as long as his Xiaomi will play the prostitute Juxian.

The stewed vegetable restaurant was named Dongfanghong, and the appearance of such a reputation with the characteristics of the times should not make the audience scold to death during the Republic of China.The gambler who is willing to pay 50 yuan, Xiaomi, looks good, her temperament is like a street girl, she has no acting skills at all, even if Xie Pu had ten guts, he would not dare to use Xiaomi to act as a female lead.

In addition to these two particularly weird ones, there are various other provisos that almost short-circuited Shep's brain.

Shep lobbied for a while, but couldn't deal with these gamblers, so he had to give up and find another way.

One month after the Spring Festival, when Xie Pu ran around without much gain, he happened to meet Zhou Hongxun, the boss of Feixun Company, at a banquet.

"Director Xie, long time no see, what have you been up to lately?"

Before Xie Pu approached Zhou Hongxun to strike up a conversation, Zhou Hongxun took the initiative to chat with him with a glass of wine.

"I'm still busy with the Liyuan Opera." Xie Pu was flattered. "It was mentioned in Tianding, Mr. Zhou still remember?"

Zhou Hongxun thought about it for a while and then made an expression of sudden understanding: "Oh, yes, you told me when will the filming start?"

"It is expected to start up in May." Xie Pu casually gave a date and rubbed his hands: "Is Mr. Zhou interested in investing?" The funds are not in place, and the machine will not be able to start up in May next year.

Zhou Hongxun didn't answer immediately, but picked up the wine glass and tasted the wine leisurely.Xie Pu raised his heart, and his eyes followed the Chengjiu in the glass.

"I have to read the script before I can answer." Zhou Hongxun took a sip of wine before giving a sentence slowly.

Willing to read the script, there is a door!Xie Pu suppressed his joy, and said with a smile: "Of course, I will go back and bring it to Mr. Zhou."

Zhou Hongxun smiled and shook his head to stop. "Director Xie doesn't need to go back to get it today. Let's pick a time to have a meal. You bring the script and we chat while eating."

"Okay! How about tomorrow?" Shep wanted to talk now.

"The day after tomorrow, at six o'clock in the evening the day after tomorrow on the top floor of Daminghua, see you there or be square."

"Alright! At six o'clock, see you there on the top floor of Daminghua." Xie Pu smiled the happiest after the Chinese New Year.

Zhou Hongxun raised his eyebrows: "Who is the author of the script?"

"It's Lu Qiu, the young man who accidentally stepped on your foot that day." Xie Pu emphasized the three words carelessly.

"Director Xie, let's invite Lu Qiu over tomorrow night, so that the discussion will be more in-depth."

The purpose of Zhou Hongxun's coming to see Xie Pu is for Lu Qiu.

Sitting on the tree waiting for the rabbit to see the rabbit, Zhou Hongxun was anxious for the whole Spring Festival, polished his patience, and took the initiative to cast a net to catch it.
