Chapter 42 Project approval and film issues

"Where did you get the money?"

Chen Xi hurriedly asked.

"In the bank... well, there is still a little saved, so we will pay it back first..."

"That's your pension money! You really..." Chen Xi felt furious for a moment, and he didn't know if it was his fourth uncle, his parents, or himself.

Then, very quickly, the emotion turned into extreme guilt.

Sometimes, I am really an unfilial son.

To make a movie and owe so much money, and let the debtor find his parents, Chen Xi felt very uncomfortable.

Chen Dechun and his wife have worked hard all their lives. After supporting him to go to college, they also started to save money. In fact, it was not pension money, but was saved for when they planned to buy a house for Chen Xi.

It is already 06, and the ever-increasing housing prices make many people daunted, so they have to make preparations in advance.

Originally, they had 5 yuan deposited regularly, but this time, they took it out to pay off the debt.

"People asked for the money, and we have nothing to do." Chen Dechun said at this time: "Why did you suddenly borrow so much money? Did something happen?"

Chen Xi also understands now why Chen Dechun asked himself if he was involved in something that shouldn't be touched... The reason is very simple, they feel that they have borrowed so much money to spend it on something that shouldn't be spent, throwing it in In the bottomless pit.

The guilt in my heart increased, and Chen Xi said: "Dad, don't think too much, I'm sorry I didn't tell you before, I was afraid that you would worry, that's right, we were doing a show before, because that show is equivalent to I contracted it out by myself, so I made up for some of the shortage of funds before, and now the funds have flowed back, and I just plan to pay off the debt."

"Really?" Chen Dechun was dubious: "What program? I haven't heard of it."

Chen Xi said: ""If You Are the One", from Suhuai TV, now broadcasts three episodes a week, you can watch it if you have nothing to do."

"What? "If You Are the One"?" Chen Dechun said, "Your mother and I have been watching it all the time!"

Speaking of this, he began to be a little unbelievable again.

For people like them, when they hear that their son is participating in a program they often watch, they suddenly feel different in their hearts...

It won't be that powerful, will it?This is one of their thoughts.

Instead, they will start to doubt that happiness comes too fast.

"Really, if you don't believe me, every time you watch it, there will be my name on the subtitles below the sentence Meng Fei said at the end of the show," Chen Xi said.

"Okay, okay, let's take a look next." This sudden surprise overcame Chen Dechun's doubts about Chen Xi.

Chen Xi said at this time: "Also, I will transfer your money back to your card. You can check it in a few days."

"How can that work? As long as you are fine, we can rest assured. What's the use of asking for money with your mother? Isn't it all prepared for you? No need."

"It's okay, just look at your card numbers, don't be too surprised when you find out that the money is suddenly hidden one day." Chen Xidao: "Now I am doing this show very popular, so the program team gave me a lot of bonuses, these bonuses are enough .”

"Really? Don't lend us money just to make us feel at ease." Chen Dechun said.

"How could I do that..."

... After hanging up the phone, Chen Xi was indeed filled with guilt.

Thinking, if he hadn't undergone soul fusion, hadn't obtained memory, and hadn't made "If You Are the One" a hit...then his previous debts were real debts, and it would take him a long, long time to pay off.

In that case, the parents will also bear the same huge pressure as myself. Once someone can't ask for money to find their parents...

Chen Xi was thankful and vigilant.

It seems that he can no longer be so casual in the future, at least in the case of insufficient money, he can't just think about his own thoughts and dreams, he also needs to think about those people he cares about.

This night's scene lasted until after twelve o'clock in the evening, and when they came out, both Ye Dongnan and Chen Xi were a little bit drunk.

"Stop driving, take a taxi back." Seeing Ye Dongnan looking for the car with his BMW key, Chen Xi patted him on the shoulder and said.

"Forget it, I'll call a substitute driver." After being stunned for a while, Ye Dongnan said something, then took out his mobile phone, and while dialing the phone, he said to Chen Xi: "I came to you today to talk about business. Thinking of the girls here is so enthusiastic... drag me down directly..."

"Bah, it's you who insisted on staying, okay?" On such a big issue, Chen Xi felt that she had to stick to her position.

"Haha, it doesn't matter... But, why not tomorrow is the weekend anyway, let's call Lao Ou and find a place to discuss it?" Ye Dongnan said.

"Uh..." Chen Xi looked at his watch, thought for a while, and then said: "It's okay, you can call him to try now. Don't go anywhere, just go to my house."

At Chen Xi's home, Ou Yangzhi came over but was ordered by Chen Xi and Ye Dongnan to bring tea and water.

"You two grandsons, I really made friends carelessly." Ou Yangzhi complained while serving tea.

Chen Xi and Ye Dongnan poured a cup of strong tea respectively, and then they became more awake. The three of them sat upright, and then, Ou Yangzhi said, "Chen Xi, other people are interested in your previous movie project... It's just that they said it's a bit difficult to use the stars in it... and now that the project is established, it will be inspected and reviewed, and the filming will not start until June next year at least..."

"It's been so long." Chen Xi began to hesitate: "How could their efficiency be so low?"

"Who told you not to be a great director... If you were Zhang Yimou, would you see if his efficiency would still be so low?"

Chen Xi shook her head helplessly and smiled, and then said: "It seems that I can only do it alone this time! You believe me, I will definitely not lose money if I make this film!"

"... You said that those celebrities are not particularly big names, so it is unlikely to use celebrities to return the book. It can only depend on the solidity of your book, and the quality of the movie... But I guess this is also very difficult. High." Ye Dongnan said: "This time, even I think you should think about it."

"..." Chen Xi pondered for a while, and then said: "There is such a problem... But, I really don't want to miss this movie."

Ou Yangzhi said: "If you insist on investing yourself, you should really think about it carefully. If you don't invest yourself, you can just wait for the film company to approve the project for you and start shooting."
