Rebirth of wealth and freedom starts from the World Cup

Chapter 157 Investment and Filming——"Charlotte's Troubles"

Xia Junjie was so angry that he almost lost control. He wished he could rush forward and beat Zhao Zixuan and Yuan Shiwei up.

but.

Reason told him that he had no chance of winning against two people alone.

A wise man never suffers a loss in front of him, so he chose to endure.

After calming down, he tried to provoke Zhao Zixuan with words, trying to divert his anger and embarrassment, and suddenly said something to Zhao Zixuan.

"Zhao Zixuan, do you still have feelings for Qiuya?"

Zhao Zixuan ignored him and was concentrating on making a phone call.

The person on the other end of the phone was Song Qiuya's mother.

He explained the situation succinctly: "Auntie Cow, Qiuya is drunk. We are on the road in front of the cinema near our workplace. Yes, it's right here at the bus stop. Please come over quickly."

After hanging up the phone, he turned his gaze back to Xia Junjie.

Seeing Xia Junjie being beaten black and blue by Yuan Shiwei, he secretly gave a thumbs up to his good brother in his heart.

Although Yuan Shiwei is short in stature, he is extremely brave in a fight, and Zhao Zixuan himself may not be able to beat him.

This guy is incredibly strong. I don't know what he ate when he was a child, but all his strength is used in fighting while his height doesn't increase at all.

Generally speaking, boys who are good at fighting and can take on beatings like this can easily win the favor of girls.

Unfortunately, in the eyes of good girls, no matter how good you are at fighting, as long as you fight you are not a good student.

At this moment, Wei Xiaoyao thought of Yuan Shiwei as a bad student, and she would never let Song Qiuya have any physical contact with such a boy.

"Zhao Zixuan, please carry Qiuya back. She is too drunk to walk."

Wei Xiaoyao supported Song Qiuya while pleading with Zhao Zixuan.

However, Zhao Zixuan just glanced at them and did not move forward.

He frowned slightly: "She vomited all over her body, and you want me to carry her? I don't want to get into trouble, so let her parents carry her when they come."

He has already thought about it.

Wei Xiaoyao had no choice but to continue waiting.

She originally wanted to take this opportunity to help Zhao Zixuan and Song Qiuya reconcile, but unfortunately Zhao Zixuan's attitude was discouraging.

He looks so strange!
Wei Xiaoyao once thought that she understood Zhao Zixuan, but now that he was standing in front of her, she couldn't tell what he was thinking at all...

Seeing this, Xia Junjie tried to step forward and said, "If Zhao Zixuan doesn't want to carry me, I will. I don't dislike Qiuya!"

He wanted to go up and offer his hand, but under the threat of Yuan Shiwei's iron fist, he could only stop and grit his teeth to confront him.

In less than five minutes, Song Qiuya's mother Liu Xiu hurried over.

Seeing this, Zhao Zixuan asked in surprise: "Auntie Cow, why are you alone? Where is Uncle Song?"

Liu Xiu is tall with a curvy figure. Although she is wearing loose sportswear, it is still difficult to conceal her proud bust. No wonder Zhao Zixuan jokingly calls her "Aunt Cow".

In fact, to be honest, it was Wu Xianglian who asked Zhao Zixuan to call her by that nickname. He had been calling her by that nickname since he was a child, and he got used to it and couldn't change it. He even thought that the nickname was pretty good and had a special sense of intimacy with it.

Liu Xiu trotted over to Song Qiuya, supported her, and then turned to Zhao Zixuan, with a hint of anxiety in his tone: "Zixuan, your uncle Song is on duty in the prison today. Come and lend a hand, help me carry Qiuya back. How did this child drink so much? She usually doesn't drink at all! Who made her drink so much?"

By the end she was clearly getting angry.

Seeing this, Xia Junjie and Yuan Shiwei each started to think about it.

Xia Junjie hurried forward, trying to be considerate: "Auntie, let me carry Qiuya. I didn't take good care of her today and let her get drunk. You let me carry her back as a punishment."

Yuan Shiwei sneered at the sidelines: "How can this be considered a punishment? You are clearly taking advantage! It's not your turn to carry the burden, so just stay away!"

Liu Xiu was so smart that he saw through the thoughts of these two young men at a glance.

Although she was happy about her daughter's popularity, she was also a little worried. After all, it was not a good thing for a girl to be too flashy.

Immediately, she called out Zhao Zixuan by name: "Zixuan, what are you waiting for? Come and help me carry Qiuya back!"

Zhao Zixuan touched his nose helplessly. Although he was unwilling in his heart, Liu Xiu was his elder after all and had always treated him well.

He had been taken care of by Liu Xiu since he was a child. He would receive lucky money from her during festivals and even on his birthday. It could be said that she treated him like half a son.

The only thing left is to recognize her as a godmother.

The main reason was that Liu Xiu and Wu Xianglian had a very good relationship. They had been classmates since childhood, and when they grew up they worked in the same unit. Naturally, they became good friends who could talk about anything.

Sometimes they would joke and say something like Zhao Zixuan and Song Qiuya had an arranged marriage, and let the two children get married and have children when they grow up, and the two families would always be together, loving and lively, and never separated.

Unfortunately, it is good to have dreams, but the reality goes against all assumptions. After Wu Xianglian's accidental death, Zhao Zixuan gradually lost contact with Liu Xiu's family. He only sent blessing messages during the holidays, but the relationship was forgotten.

The relationship between the two families is so close that Zhao Zixuan naturally cannot refuse.

He walked forward, squatted down, and let Song Qiuya lie on his back.

Liu Xiu warned from the side: "Zixuan, be careful, don't drop Qiuya."

Zhao Zixuan nodded, stood up, and walked forward steadily with Song Qiuya on his back.

Seeing this, Xia Junjie and Yuan Shiwei could only follow behind helplessly.

But Liu Xiu stopped them from following. She waved her hand and gently advised: "You all should go back. It's getting late now. If you go home too late, your parents will worry about your safety."

Zhao Zixuan walked in front carrying the drunken Song Qiuya on his back. He glanced back at them and casually ordered, "Brother Wei, send Wei Xiaoyao back. It's not good for a girl to go back so late."

Yuan Shiwei agreed.

He watched them disappear around the corner before turning to look at the dazed Wei Xiaoyao.

"Wei Xiaoyao, let's go. I'll take you back."

He found that the squad leader tonight was a little different from usual, as if he was out of touch with reality and he had no idea what he was thinking.

Is it because of Li Jiaming’s confession?

Wei Xiaoyao came back to her senses, with a trace of disappointment in her eyes. She asked softly, "Yuan Shiwei, tell me, they are such a perfect match, why did they end up like this today?"

Yuan Shiwei smiled and said casually, "A good match? How can they be a good match? Isn't the person who is most suitable for Zixuan right now our school beauty? That's a true match made in heaven, right? Don't worry about it."

Wei Xiaoyao sighed slightly, and the beautiful figure of He Jieyu suddenly appeared in her mind.

Yes!

Now Zhao Zixuan and He Jieyu seem to be the most suitable couple.

No matter how good Song Qiuya is, how can she possibly compete with that BUG-like goddess Wanyan.

How ridiculous!
It’s a good thing that I thought Song Qiuya had a chance before.

Thinking about it now, it’s simply impossible.

All fantasies are nothing but wishful thinking.

Zhao Zixuan is no longer the same Zhao Zixuan as before, but Song Qiuya is still the arrogant little princess who knows nothing.

They are like two intersecting straight lines. Once they pass each other, how can they possibly get back together?

At this time, Xia Junjie, who had not left yet, suddenly interrupted.

"Yuan Shiwei, what are you so proud of? Even if I can't woo Qiuya, don't even think about getting your hands on her. Your so-called good brother is still thinking about the pot while eating the bowl. You actually call him a brother? To be honest, I really look down on you!"

His intention to provoke should not be more obvious.

Wei Xiaoyao kindly reminded Yuan Shiwei: "He is deliberately provoking you, ignore him."

"I know, I'm not stupid." Yuan Shiwei glanced at Xia Junjie coldly and said sarcastically, "I think you are just itching for trouble. Come on, we didn't fight enough just now, let's fight for another 300 rounds!"

Xia Junjie snorted coldly and turned away, leaving Wei Xiaoyao and Yuan Shiwei alone. Wei Xiaoyao saw this and suddenly wondered why they were both boys, but why were they so childish, while Zhao Zixuan was so mature and steady, not startled by anything and decisive in dealing with things...

She suddenly began to understand why such an outstanding girl like He Jieyu would be willing to stay with Zhao Zixuan silently as a younger sister.

"What people say online is right. Good boys are not available in circulation. They are a scarce resource. Girls who don't fight for them have no chance of having such boys."

Wei Xiaoyao was thinking about her own things silently, and walked back home accompanied by Yuan Shiwei.

…………

On the other side, Zhao Zixuan, accompanied by Liu Xiu, walked into the gate of the unit carrying the sleeping Song Qiuya on his back.

Say something.

This drunk beauty weighing 110 pounds is indeed not light. If Zhao Zixuan had not been diligent in his daily basketball training, it would have been difficult for him to carry her home in one go.

Their two families were very close to each other, one lived in the ninth building and the other lived in the tenth building, and both lived on the fourth floor, with their balconies and windows facing each other. There were a few parking spaces and a not-so-tall camphor tree downstairs, so they could communicate with each other in a whisper.

Sometimes, Liu Xiu would stand in front of the window at home and call Wu Xianglian, and then the two would go out for a walk, dance, or play mahjong together...

Along the way, Liu Xiu asked a lot of questions about the relationship between Zhao Zixuan and Song Qiuya, such as why he hadn't come to his aunt's house to play for so long, and whether he had had a fight with Song Qiuya.

What can Zhao Zixuan say?

You can't just say that you have no feelings for Song Qiuya anymore, so if you can avoid meeting her in the future, then don't do that. Shouldn't we just treat each other as strangers?
Zhao Zixuan could only be vague and make excuses, saying that he was busy with art exams and that he was busy practicing performances and had no time for anything else.

Liu Xiu was considerate, so he took the initiative to invite him to come to his house for dinner and have a good chat when he was free.

Although Zhao Zixuan felt a little reluctant, he had no choice but to agree under Liu Xiu's enthusiastic invitation.

"Zhao Zixuan, you big idiot, drink some wine..."

Song Qiuya was still mumbling, and Zhao Zixuan suddenly felt embarrassed.

Fortunately, although Liu Xiu heard it, he didn't say much.

As she watched her daughter and Zhao Zixuan being so close, she felt an indescribable joy in her heart.

This pair of childhood sweethearts who grew up together look so well-matched no matter how you look at them.

Liu Xiu was like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, and she had been looking at him for more than ten years, from childhood to adulthood, and the more she looked at him, the more she liked him and the more she liked him.

Afterwards, Zhao Zixuan took great pains to carry Song Qiuya, who was sleeping like a dead fish, to the fourth floor.

He didn't even dare to drink a sip of the water to moisten his throat, and left the Song family in a hurry like a gust of wind.

When she got home, Wu Xianglian was talking on the phone with Liu Xiu for a long time. From the conversation, it seemed that Liu Xiu was praising Zhao Zixuan a lot on the phone.

After hearing this, Wu Xianglian's mouth almost stretched to her ears, and her eyes were full of pride and satisfaction.

Zhao Zixuan just smiled helplessly, went into the bathroom to wash up, changed into clean clothes, and went to bed to rest.

Before going to bed, he was lying on the bed browsing his phone when he suddenly learned a good news and a bad news from Bai Jie.

Zhao Zixuan couldn't stand this kind of suspense trick, so he called her directly, questioning her in his tone: "Bai Jie, what's the news? Just tell me directly, don't keep us in suspense."

Bai Jie explained on the phone: "Mr. Zhao, I'm sorry to bother you so late. The thing is, I tried my best to negotiate the film and television rights of "Charlotte's Troubles", but unfortunately I didn't get it. However, Happy Twist has agreed to our investment in the filming of the movie. The preliminary agreement is that our Yixuan Studio will invest 10 million yuan to participate in the filming and production of the movie."

"By the way, I also negotiated a spot for the female lead."

Zhao Zixuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Well done. Although we didn't get the copyright, it's still a great achievement. I didn't make a mistake in choosing him."

Bai Jie spoke modestly on the phone.

Zhao Zixuan continued, "You go and meet with them and tell them that we have no problem with a 10 million investment, but I hope the film can enter the shooting stage as soon as possible. In addition, regarding the production, the beginning of the film must be subtitled "Jointly produced by Yixuan Studio and Happy Twist", and our name must be placed at the front. If they disagree, we can consider increasing the investment until they agree."

After hearing this, Bai Jie couldn't help but sigh at her boss's courage. Although she was a little embarrassed, she still agreed.

"Mr. Zhao, do you have a suitable candidate for the female lead? If not, I can recommend one to you." Bai Jie asked.

Zhao Zixuan actually already had a suitable candidate in mind.

He didn't want to choose the original female lead because the actors in the movie "Charlotte's Troubles" are generally older, but the plot starts from the student days. If a younger actress is found to play the female lead, the box office may be more guaranteed.

Thinking of this, he told Bai Jie on the phone: "I have already chosen the female lead, don't worry. Just concentrate on doing your job. This is the first film of our Yixuan Studio, we must strictly control it and there can be no omissions. If there are not enough people, recruit people. If there is insufficient funds, let us know. Do you understand?"

Bai Jie quickly expressed that she understood, and then waited for Zhao Zixuan to hang up the phone first.

next moment.

Zhao Zixuan glanced at his watch and found that it was not too late.

So he quickly sent a message to Zhan Yishang, asking tentatively.

——A comedy movie is about to enter the shooting stage. Are you interested in being the leading actress?
Zhan Yi replied to the message within seconds.

——Yes, yes, yes!

——What movie? When does it start? What are the requirements?
——Are you in the capital? If it's convenient, we can talk in person.

Three messages were typed quickly.

Zhao Zixuan sat back and simply told her to report to Yixuan Studio tomorrow morning, and gave her Bai Jie's contact information.

Zhan Yishang is the first actress signed by Yixuan Studio.

The company she signed with before was Didu Tianhao Shengshi Entertainment Culture Co., Ltd. In order to sign her successfully, Zhao Zixuan also paid her a termination fee.

The amount is not large, as the maximum compensation for breach of contract by an artist is generally not more than 30 percent of the loss caused.

Since Zhan Yishang signed the contract with the other company, he has not filmed any movie, so it cannot be said that he suffered any loss.

Since Yixuan Studio has just started up and is currently short of actors, Zhao Zixuan made another request to Zhan Yishang, hoping that she could help invite some classmates from the Central Academy of Drama to join.

Zhan Yishang agreed without hesitation, and even brought several beautiful classmates from the Central Academy of Drama to Yixuan Studio the next day to discuss the possibility of cooperation.

Among many classmates, Zhao Zixuan paid special attention to several child stars with acting experience.

Among them, a girl named Liang Jingxian is particularly eye-catching.

She is also a freshman and has played the role of Fang Jenny in "Balala the Fairies", showing her excellent acting skills.

In addition, He Yuhong, Kang Keer, Gao Ruifei and others are also favored by Zhao Zixuan. Although he has only looked at their photos and information, he has decided to sign this group of promising young actresses from the Chinese Academy of Drama.

Zhao Zixuan was bored at home for a few days, but his mind was always on the NBA Finals that was far away.

As of June 82, the Cavaliers lost to the Warriors 103-2, and the two sides were tied 2-. The next decisive battle was scheduled for three days later.

Zhao Zixuan felt like every day was a year, and finally the exciting day arrived.

The result of the fifth game was once again a loss for the Cavaliers, and the Warriors won the match point.

Seeing that the situation was about to be settled, Zhao Zixuan felt a sense of certainty in his heart, so he decided not to wait any longer and immediately met up with Zhang Lei, and the two of them went to the Magic City Airport together.

The final battle of this year's NBA Finals is scheduled to be held on June 17 at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland.

After Zhao Zixuan and Zhang Lei arrived in Los Angeles, they immediately transferred to a direct flight to Cleveland without stopping for a moment.

However, when they arrived at their destination, they found that the audience was packed and tickets were sold out.

Even though Zhao Zixuan was willing to pay ten times the sky-high reward, he still couldn't buy an admission ticket.

With no other options, they could only witness the ultimate showdown of the NBA Finals on the big screen outside the Quicken Loans Arena with tens of thousands of fans.

When the Cavaliers suffered a 97-105 defeat at home, Director Zhang, who supported James, couldn't help but hugged Zhao Zixuan and burst into tears.

But human joys and sorrows are not the same.

Zhao Zixuan, whose mouth was crooked from smiling, just thought Zhang Lei was noisy.

He thought to himself, "The game is finally over. Now all that's left is the Finals MVP. If there's Joe, I'll pick Joe. If there's no Joe, I'll pick Shaq. If there's no Joe, I'll pick Iguodala! As long as the foreigners don't do anything shady, I'll take the whopping $15 billion prize!"
