Dressed as cannon fodder for the rich
Chapter 57
Qi Xiaoyu put his hands on the edge of the ancient city wall, looked at the river in the distance and took a deep breath. Another incident happened this afternoon, which made his mood fluctuate.
Zheng Peizu called him and asked him if he was interested in investing in a movie called "The Chaos of Mangchuan".
According to Zheng Peizu, more than half of the filming was done, and it was almost finished, but the funding chain was broken, and the filming was forced to stop for almost a week.
However, even if the personnel and equipment are stopped, it will cost money. If there is no new capital injection, it may die at this point. After all, there is still a lot of post-production costs.
Zheng Peizu called and asked Qi Xiaoyu if he had any investment ideas,
"I've read the script and it's not bad, and some clips that have been edited are also pretty good. If it can be released, the box office should be guaranteed. The director of this show is a friend of mine. I know his character. He really wants to make a movie. To be honest , I also invested some money in it myself, but it wasn’t enough. I think it’s a pity that a good movie should stop like this, and it’s also a chance to make money. Xiaoyu, see if you have any ideas.”
Qi Xiaoyu was a little surprised when he heard it. He had an impression of this movie. Although the name "Python River Chaos" sounds like a historical drama, it is actually a funny movie in ancient costume that takes place in the fictional place Mangchuan.
The investment in this film is actually only 7000 million. The director and actors are not well-known, and there are no big scenes. It is not a big production, but the story is humorous and funny. After the release, the box office is second only to "The Evil" in the same period.
However, the investment in "Shangxie" is nearly [-] million yuan. Compared with it, the return on investment of "Python River Chaos" is five or six times higher.
The reason why Qi Xiaoyu has an impression and remembers it clearly is because in the original book, this is the background introduction of Tang Yuning when he appeared on the stage.
"He has been away from the domestic film industry for many years, but he has attracted much attention as soon as he came back. Now he is not only an outstanding actor, but also an investor with precise vision. "Open low and go high, the box office exceeded [-] million in just one week, and there is still an upward trend."
Qi Xiaoyu was surprised that the movie that Tang Yuning invested in and rescued in the original book was now in his hands.
This made him a little confused for a while, not knowing which ones were to follow the original and which ones would change in this world.
He immediately asked Zheng Peizu how much money was left for "The Chaos of Mangchuan".
Zheng Peizu replied that it was still about 700 million short.
Qi Xiaoyu calculated in his heart, the money he spent on commercials, variety shows, and TV dramas and this time's salary add up to about the same.
He originally wanted to save it slowly and return it to Xun Qian, but now it would be a good idea to take it out and give it a go.
After all, if the original plot is followed, the deal will be profitable, or several times the profit.
He thought about it for a while, and then agreed, "Okay, we'll sign the contract when we get back from the crew."
Thinking that Zheng Peizu can think of himself at this time, he added, "Are you in a hurry for funds now? If you are in a hurry, I can call some of them today."
Zheng Peizu was stunned by Qi Xiaoyu's straightforwardness. Although he didn't think of Qi Xiaoyu because he couldn't get investment, he has been in the entertainment industry for so many years and knows a lot of people.
After reading the script and samples, he really thought it was an opportunity to make money and invest, and he liked Qi Xiaoyu a lot, so he recommended it to him, but he didn't expect Qi Xiaoyu to agree so readily, after all, 700 million is not a small number .
Zheng Peizu felt more and more that he had read the right person, and his tone was a little more enthusiastic than at the beginning,
"Don't be in such a hurry, let's go through the contract first and then pay the money. Xiaoyu... You are giving charcoal in a timely manner this time. I will make an agreement with others. When the time comes to sign the contract, I will give you 5 percentage points higher."
5 percentage points more, if the box office is high, it will be several million more.
Qi Xiaoyu naturally thanked Zheng Peizu for his care.

The two discussed the cooperation very happily on the phone.
Although the investment discussion was pleasant, but thinking about it afterwards, if "Python River Chaos" is a big hit at the box office as in the original book, does it mean that there are some doomed plots in the original book that he cannot change?
So which ones are mutable and which ones are immutable?
Qi Xiaoyu scratched his hair a little irritably, then took out his mobile phone, and found the message that Steward Cheng sent him this evening.
Butler Cheng asked him when he would be back.
He never came back.
In the last video call, Xun Qian said that he would come to pick him up, but now he wants to see Xun Qian, but he doesn't want to see Xun Qian.
But it's not good if you don't reply to the message all the time. He hesitated for a while, and first sent a message asking, "How is the third master recently?"
After sending the message, he turned his back against the wall and waited for a while before he heard back.
Cheng Butler directly dialed the phone and said, "Today I went to the hospital with the third master, and I just came back. Xiaoyu, are you still filming?"
After hearing the first half of the sentence, Qi Xiaoyu immediately asked, "Go to the hospital? What's wrong with the third master?"
Cheng Butler's voice was a little tired, "Speaking of it, it's an old problem. When spring and summer alternate from April to May, the third master's lung disease is more serious than other times."
"Didn't Dr. Song say that the third master's illness will gradually get better if he takes medicine and takes care of it? How could it be worse? Is it because he hasn't taken medicine properly during this period of time?"
Steward Cheng sighed,
"If the third master takes good care of him, goes out to exercise frequently, and cooperates with the examination and medication, he will gradually improve. But the third master's legs...you know it too. Also, the last time I took a long-distance flight to Xinguo, it was not good for the lungs. Well... the company's affairs have been more troublesome recently..."
Butler Cheng paused at this point, "Third Master won't let us tell you about these things. Just forget it if you've heard about it."
Qi Xiaoyu didn't speak, he just thought of Xun Qian's performance in front of him every time, with suppressed coughing and calm expression.
Then he thought of Xun Qian's legs.
Xun Qian's leg was injured when he was 15 years old when he won a horse race with Tang Yi.
Tang Yide is his mother's lover.
Xun Qian didn't like that man, even though he was only 15 years old at the time, he could already see at a glance the man's naked and undisguised desire for the Xun family's wealth.
That man obviously didn't like Xun Qian either. He had a son himself, so of course he wanted to get rid of Xun Qian's troubles as soon as possible rather than please him.
15-year-old Xun Qian, like a child walking on the road with a gold ingot in his arms, is coveted by countless people.
The two met at the racecourse to compete.
It just rained that day, the racecourse was wet and slippery, and there was a faint drizzle of rain in the wind, which made people unable to open their eyes.
Tang Yi's horse stabbed diagonally and rushed in front of Xun Qian.
The horse neighs, the wind and rain are dark.
After a brief but fatal panic, Xun Qian was thrown off, Tang Yi had to have his neck broken on the spot and died.
When Qin Xueyin came, she threw herself on her lover and howled loudly, not caring about her son's life or death at all.
The scene was chaotic, and there were traces of being pressed down by the horse's hoof on Tang Yide's chest.
From then on, everyone said that he strangled his mother's lover to death on the horse with his own hands.
At that time, Xun Qian missed the best treatment period, and he himself didn't want to be treated any more. Once he was delayed, he got used to the wheelchair.
Qi Xiaoyu didn't care too much about Xun Qian's legs before, firstly because he didn't care about Xun Qian, secondly because he was too busy with work, and more importantly, in the original book, Xun Qian's legs recovered and he was able to walk. But this has nothing to do with him, but the story between Xun Qian and Tang Yuning.
But how good is the specific... It seems that the original plot did not explain much. The original novel is obsessed with describing how "he" is deadly, and how deformed Xun Qian and Tang Yuning's love is. up.
"Little fish?"
Probably because Qi Xiaoyu hadn't spoken for too long, Cheng Butler called out tentatively.
"Well, I'm here."
Steward Cheng asked again, "When will you come back from the finale? I asked Mama Li to prepare in advance."
"I……"
Qi Xiaoyu was hesitant to let Xun Qian come to pick him up, but now that Steward Cheng said that Xun Qian was not in good health, he immediately thought about not letting him make another trip, so he said vaguely,
"The filming will be finished in a few days. The exact time is still uncertain. It depends on the arrangement of the director team. Don't ask Mama Li to make special preparations. I will tell you when I get on the plane."
After Qi Xiaoyu made the phone call, he stood by the city wall for a while. He didn't pay much attention to the development of the original story's emotional line.
His story line is so messed up, all he wants to do is to change his own destiny, and not let this character repeat the mistakes of the original book.
It's only now that I want to calm down and think about it, but I feel a little uncomfortable.
Do we just wait for Tang Yuning to appear in a few months to accompany Xun Qian to heal his legs?
Or let Xun Qian continue to be sick like this?
****
At the same time, the Xun family was indeed not peaceful recently.
Xun Qian was half lying on the bed, pinching a few documents with fingers as white as green onions.
His eyes swept over the document indifferently, "She is willing to let that boy of the Tang family inherit all the property. Has she signed it yet?"
Zhang Han and Cheng Butler stood in front of the bed one by one.
Zhang Han cautiously said, "Yes, the lawyers of both parties have arrived today, and the old lady has already signed."
Cheng Butler looked at his face and added, "The old lady was not in good health after she went back last time. It may be a muddle-headed decision. Third Master, don't take it to heart."
Xun Qian pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled, "I have nothing to take to heart. She can dispose of those things as she wants."
After speaking, he raised his eyes to look at Zhang Han, "Has Xu Xiucheng cleaned up the remaining personnel affairs?"
Zhang Han, "Cleaned up, but it also affected some of our normal operations."
Xun Qian nodded, "Clean up a share of the assets I have now, and give them to me as soon as possible."
"Yes."
After finishing speaking, Cheng Butler and Zhang Han lowered their heads and looked at each other, not daring to speak.
After a while, Xun Qian waved his hand and let the two go.
Another night.
The spring breeze blows in through the open window.
The little black dog poked its head out, and when Butler Cheng opened the door, it "battabata" slipped in through the crack of the door, then pawed its front paws on the edge of the bed and looked at Xun Qian.
With a hook, Xun Qian hugged the little black dog into his arms.
The little black dog could probably feel Xun Qian's emotions, and lay obediently in his arms without moving, just carefully licking Xun Qian's fingers.
I don't know what Qi Xiaoyu is doing at this moment, filming is hard or not, there are so many hanging wires, will he get hurt...
He originally thought that he could walk as long as possible with Qi Xiaoyu, the longer the better.
But now it seems that some things are happening faster than he imagined.
Unlike his sister, he has never felt guilty about Tang Yide's matter, but he also knows that this matter will not end well.
The author has something to say: Thanks to the little angels who irrigate the nutrient solution: 10 bottles of Nuannuan; 5 bottles of Moran Jiangqing; 3 bottles of Little Ant; 2 bottles of boring snails
