They all say I'm a good wife

Chapter 215 Investing in a Movie

Ouyang Wanting finally understood what her daughter said, and she was really dumbfounded.

The sister Xiaoying mentioned by the daughter is 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, the daughter and the child have kept in touch, and they will talk on the phone if there is nothing to do.

Now that I hear my daughter say that, I finally know what they usually talk about.

What is it all about? These children are really small ghosts.

The little girl was in distress, but she didn't notice her mother's strangeness, so she said to herself: "Mom, when you gave me these exercises yesterday, I read them and found them very difficult, but today I went to Brother Xiaoming's place. After that, it will come out in a while, and it will not be difficult at all.

Mom, tell me, do I fall in love with Brother Xiaoming?What can I do, I'm still a child. "

Seeing her daughter's embarrassment, Ouyang Wanting couldn't help breaking her work immediately, and said with a smile: "Silly boy, that's not the case."

"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 to be with the one you like... How should I put it, sometimes, if you meet someone, it can make you feel safe... Well, it is It can make you feel very safe and at ease, and you will become very focused on doing things, and it is easy to do things quickly and well."

"Is that so?"

"Yes."

Ouyang Wanting nodded affirmatively: "Your Brother Xiao Ming is probably someone who can make you feel very safe, so when you stay with him, you become more focused, and you can do the exercises quickly and well. .Didn't I always tell you that you have to concentrate on doing things, and you can do things well with one heart, isn't that the truth?"

"Oh, is that so?"

The little girl became thoughtful, with a little disappointment in her tone: "So, I fell in love with Brother Xiaoming, I thought... um..."

Ouyang Wanting's way of educating children is based on books and videos. She never instills anything in her children, and everything is to guide children to think, so as to obtain their own concepts and concepts.

Therefore, this time she will not emphasize anything, and just let her daughter think for herself.

However, what her daughter said today made her more determined in her previous idea, which was to let Qiu Ming become her daughter's manager.

She felt that since her daughter trusted that boy so much, it was a good choice for him to be her daughter's manager.

She decided to call her husband tonight and have a good talk about it.

……

After several days in a row, Qiu Ming waited for Ouyang Wanting to come to talk to her.

Ever since he heard Zhuo Lan's words, he felt that Ouyang Wanting might come to her and talk to him about it.

He has already made up his mind, when the time comes, he will say that he is still a relatively novice manager and is not suitable for taking care of little girls, and then he will decline.

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 didn't think about actually coming to him.

This made Qiu Ming secretly heave a sigh of relief, that's fine, there's no need to even decline politely, and there's no need to offend anyone.

However, he also secretly observed Ouyang Wanting in the past two days, and found that the mother's complexion was not very good, she looked haggard and tired, as if something had happened to her.

Although he was a little puzzled in his heart, but he didn't say anything, so he naturally had no reason to take the initiative to ask, so everything was as usual.

A few days later, when the shooting of the film was one-third of the way, one night, Zhang Ruoyin suddenly took several people from the film crew to his room for a drink.

Qiu Ming was also summoned, and he was the last person to enter the house.

At the wine table, Zhang Ruoyin, Zhang Shan, Zhao Huanghuang, Quan Quanfa, and Qi Hua were already seated. As soon as he entered, everyone was present.

What's going on here?
After he sat down, he found that the atmosphere on the wine table was a bit gloomy, as if there was a glum factor floating in the air.

Everyone started to drink, and after a while, Qiu Ming finally knew the reason for the depressed atmosphere. It turned out that he had just been notified by Panorama, the assistant director in charge of money, that the crew was running out of money.

This film has just been shot for one third, and there are still many important scenes that have not been filmed, and the money is gone. This really makes people don't know what to say.

"Why don't 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 said to himself.

Zhang Ruoyin stared at the words, and scolded, "How dare you!"

Zhao Huanghuang said with a smile: "I have nothing to dare, anyway, my parents' house will be left to me sooner or later, I am anxiously waiting for the money to be used, and I will talk to them later, and they will be willing to sell it. Support my cause!"

After a slight pause, he said again: "It's not that you don't know, I have been messing around since I was a child, and the two of them have always been worried about me. I didn't know how happy I was when I found out that the movie we made together won an award. At home Talk about it to everyone, and the one who got the best new director won the award, as if I won it... Well, I will go back and talk to them, and they will support me."

"no!"

Zhang Ruoyin shook his head without hesitation: "That house is the possession of Zhao's father and Huang's mother who have worked hard all their lives, and when they are old, they let them lose even this little leaning. Even if you can live with this kind of thing, I can't live with it here. .”

Zhao Huanghuang shook his head: "Then what do you think we should do? You sold all the houses in your hometown to collect the money. Now that this scene is filmed here, you have no money. How else can you find money?"

Zhang Ruoyin took a sip of his drink and didn't speak.

When the others heard the conversation between Zhang Ruoyin and Zhao Huanghuang, they were all thinking about something and kept silent.

Qiu Ming stayed in the crew for such a period of time, and he has a certain understanding of everyone's situation.

Zhang Ruoyin belongs to the kind of person whose parents died. When he was still in elementary school, his mother died of illness, and when he was in high school, his father disappeared.

The only relative is an older sister who went to Binhai and is an ordinary white-collar worker.

In his hometown, he had a house. This time, he sold the house without telling his sister to raise a sum of money.

Zhao Huanghuang's situation is slightly better than Zhang Ruoyin's. His parents are retired cadres and they own a big house in the city, but this house cannot be moved. Zhao Huanghuang has always been extravagant, and he has no money at all.

As for Zhang Shan and Panorama, Zhang Shan is a poor teacher, and it is not easy to support his family.

At this time, Qi Hua took out a card from his pocket, and said, "I don't want the salary this time, there is fifty thousand in this card, you take it, I won't have any more."

That's what it means to be upside down...

Zhang Ruoyin raised his head, looked at Qi Hua and said, "Old Qi, I can't take your money. I'm already very grateful that you can continue filming this movie. I'll let you pay again... Well, I feel really sorry for this." .”

Everyone understood what he meant.

This drama did not get a shooting license, so I don't know what will happen in the future.

As the lead actor, Qi Hua might be punished by the authorities in the future.

It is unreasonable for him to take such a big risk to act, not only will he not get paid, but he also has to pay for it.

Moreover, Qi Hua is not a famous 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 to this point, we can't give up halfway, right? I'm also a part of the crew, so just treat it as my investment, and if the show really sells 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, half of the road ahead is already dead. It would be good if the cost can be recovered. Where can I get a share?
However, everyone saw Qi Hua's sincerity.

Zhao Huanghuang poured wine for Qi Hua, picked up the glass and touched Qi Hua's wine glass, and then went straight to work.

Qi Hua smiled and did it too.

Suddenly, Zhang Shan asked with a little difficulty: "Why don't I change the script."

When everyone heard this, they all looked up at Zhang Shan.

Zhang Shan met everyone's gaze, smiled wryly and said, "I was unwilling to change the script at the beginning, and because of this, I didn't find an investor. The current situation... well, I think this is the only way to go."

Zhang Ruoyin thought for a while and said, "Brother Shan, this is not just your idea. I agreed with you when you said you would not change the script. Now let's think of other ways to change the script." , don't think about it yet."

At the wine table, everyone fell silent again.

Qiu Ming remained silent for a while, and only then raised his head and asked Panorama: "Brother Fa, how much do you still owe for this movie?"

Quan Quan thought for a while, and said: "We have already spent more than 50 yuan before, and it is estimated that we will need this amount later. We still have more than 50 yuan left on hand, and there is a gap of [-] to [-] yuan.

Qiu Ming asked, "Is this enough?"

Quan Quanfa said: "If you can shoot faster, it should be enough."

Qiu Ming thought for a while and said, "Well, I'll take 50 and invest in it."

Everyone was startled when they heard the words, and they all looked up at Qiu Ming.

They never thought that Qiu Ming could come up with money. After all, they all knew Qiu Ming to a certain extent. Qiu Ming had just graduated from university and had only been working for less than a year.

The family is not rich. According to Qiu Ming, his parents have divorced and he grew up with his grandparents.

Therefore, they never thought that Qiu Ming could come up with money.

But now Qiu Ming said that he would take out 50 yuan, almost catching up with Zhang Ruoyin's money for buying a house, so they couldn't help being surprised.

Zhang Ruoyin asked, "Where did you get the money?"

Qiu Ming said: "I earned the money myself, no problem, but my money is not for nothing, just treat it as an investment in this movie."

He doesn't want to talk more about writing songs to make money, the less people know about it, the better.

As for investing in this movie, it was mainly because of Zhuo Lan's super high return value. He just wanted to see what would happen to such an outrageous future return value.

Zhang Ruoyin didn't know what to say when he heard Qiu Ming say that.

Zhao Huanghuang next to him asked: "Qiu Ming, do you want to spend so much money? Can you get it? No problem?"

"no problem!"

Qiu Ming nodded and answered in the affirmative.

Just kidding, since the 500 million share from Big Goose Music, he is no longer short of money, and he is looking for houses online.

"That!"

Zhao Huanghuang laughed happily: "The rich man has been found, and the problem has been solved."

Zhang Ruoyin was a little worried: "Qiu Ming, is it really okay? I can think of other ways, I don't want you to suffer."

Qiu Ming waved his hand: "Brother Zhang, don't worry, I know it well."

Zhang Ruoyin looked at Qiu Ming hesitantly, and nodded after a while: "Okay, I've written down what happened today."

Qiu Ming smiled and said nothing.

Then, everyone continued to drink.

The problem of lack of money was solved, the previous depression was swept away, and the atmosphere on the wine table immediately became lively.

Qiu Ming actually wanted to take advantage of the fact that he had become an investor in this movie, hoping that Zhang Ruoyin could change his shooting method and shoot more efficiently, so as to save money.

But he changed his mind and felt that this was Zhang Ruoyin's "creative method". If he made suggestions at such a time, it would not only affect Zhang Ruoyin's "creative thinking", but also seemed that he, an "investor", would point fingers when he came up, especially Disgusting, simply said nothing.

Anyway, one-third of the movie has been shot, so let Zhang Ruoyin continue to toss in his own way, anyway, as long as the final result can achieve that super high future return value.

The next day, Qiu Ming simply transferred the money to the crew's account.

The crew received new injections of blood and continued to operate as before.

That day, Qiu Ming happened to be going to the canteen at the entrance of the village to buy something, but unexpectedly met Ouyang Wanting in an alley.

The mother's eyes were red, and the expression on her face was a bit wrong, as if she had just cried.

When we met on the road like this, Qiu Ming couldn't pretend he couldn't see him, so he casually asked, "Sister Wanting, are you okay?"

Unexpectedly, such a casual word of concern actually made Ouyang Wanting cry, and the tears fell down like she didn't want money, looking very sad and sad.

Qiu Ming was in such a hurry, he was a little at a loss.

"Sister Wanting, don't cry, what's wrong..."

Fortunately, Qiu Ming used to be an artist assistant, and he habitually kept a tissue in his pocket, so he quickly took it out and handed it to the mother.

Ouyang Wanting took the tissue, wiped away tears while crying, and didn't speak for a while.

Qiu Ming didn't ask any more questions, just silently stood aside for the other party, and handed the other party a tissue.

After a while, Ouyang Wanting stopped a little bit, choked up and said: "I want to go home immediately, there are some things that need to be dealt with, can you help me take care of Yueyue for a while?"
