Middle age: leisurely life in the entertainment industry

"It's really a big deal!" Li Wan praised: "With your 10 million, the entire crew can get up and running."

"Li Wan, as a producer, don't you want to invest?" Yu Dongqing asked half jokingly and half seriously.

"Haha, according to the old rules, producers usually only take commissions, but since Meili is my school girl and your sister-in-law, I should support her."

"Let's see." Li Wan pondered for a moment before saying, "I'm not as wealthy as you. I only invested 3 million in my studio."

"Okay, let me thank you first for Meimei." Yu Dongqing smiled.

"Why are you so polite? We are now comrades in the trenches, let's get things done together."

The two chatted for a while about the details of financial operations, and then Li Wan said goodbye and left.

Naturally, an assistant will do the signing of contracts and transfers.

After Li Wan left, Luo Yun said, "This Li Wan is a ghost."

"how?"

"If you didn't invest, I guess he would get nothing. Seeing that you invested, he quickly offered 3 million, and said it would give you and Meiliang face." Luo Yun said.

"Which producer is not smart?" Yu Dongqing laughed after hearing this: "But I don't think it's not for the reason you said."

"oh?"

"No one would take 3 million just to save face. This shows that he still recognizes the movie and the ability of Meimei to a certain extent. Otherwise, no matter how glamorous you say or how strong the relationship is, he will not pay a penny. "

"Wang Dongsheng's film "My Days Digging Coal in the Mine" lacked funds and asked him for help, but he still didn't pay a penny?"

Luo Yun heard from Yu Dongqing that at the beginning of the year, Wang Dongsheng was short of funds for filming, so he came to Yu Dongqing. Yu Dongqing not only invested 1 million, but also through Luo Yun's father-in-law Jin Yunfeng, he found a way to release the film in Hong Kong, which could not be released in the mainland.

"What you said makes sense, but I still want to think that there is such a factor." Luo Yun insisted on her opinion: "If you don't vote, he won't vote either. He believes in your vision."

maybe?

Yu Dongqing smiled slightly, took a sip of tea, and no longer wanted to argue about this issue.

"Hey, Dongqing, I almost forgot if you didn't mention this." Luo Yun thought of something.

"Wang Dongsheng's "The Days of Digging Coal" not only won the Best Film Award at the French Asian Film Festival, but has also been approved to be released in Hong Kong. Your 1 million will not only not lose money, but also make a fortune. Li Wan Miscalculation."

"Don't do this kind of erratic thing in the future." Yu Dongqing said: "I have to thank your father-in-law, Mr. Jin, for this matter. He was a big help."

Speaking of Jin Yunfeng, Luo Yun's expression was a little complicated, but she quickly adjusted: "I guess Wang Dongsheng will invite you to attend the premiere in Xiangjiang, will you go?"

"No, it's too troublesome." Yu Dongqing shook his head: "If the call comes to you, you can refuse it for me."

"Don't you want to go and meet that popular Hong Kong singer Wu Jingqi? She misses you very much."

Yu Dongqing glared at her and ignored her.

Luo Yun burst into laughter, and her mood was turbulent for a moment.

Yu Dongqing quickly moved her eyes, picked up the tea cup and took another sip, and asked: "Luo Yun, don't you personally plan to vote?"

"I have thought about this problem just now." Luo Yun quickly replied: "Since you and Li Wan have invested, let me invest some too. But I am not as rich as you. I personally invested 1 million."

"Okay, I'll thank you on Mingmei's behalf."

"You are really worried about your sister-in-law." Luo Yun said.

Yu Dongqing didn't answer, stood up and walked out of the room slowly.

Of course, Yu Dongqing and Li Wan's investment of more than 10 million is only a temporary solution to an urgent need, and the bulk of the investment has not yet been secured, but there is no rush. It is impossible to take out real money from the pockets of investors without some ability.

Li Wan, as the producer, was fully responsible. Yu Dongqing did not interfere much and transferred another 10 million from his personal account to the studio's account. The specific signing of the investment contract was handled by Luo Yun, and he began to live a leisurely life again. .

Just after lunch today, Yu Dongqing was about to take a nap, but her cell phone rang. Yu Dongqing answered it when she saw that it was Mingliang.

"Brother-in-law, are you busy now?"

"Not too busy. Is there anything you want?"

"Well, I'm a little annoyed. I want to talk to you."

It could be heard that Meimei's voice was a little low, and she seemed to be in a bad mood.

Yu Dongqing also guessed a few points.

He said, "Okay, will you come to my house?"

"No, just go for a walk to Rending Lake Park near your home and get some fresh air. I'll drive over and I'll be there in about half an hour."

"good"

Half an hour later, Yu Dongqing was at the entrance of the park and saw Meili's white new energy car driving over and parked on the side of the road.

The two of them walked into the park together and walked along the lakeside.

"What, you're not happy?" Yu Dongqing looked at Meili.

The girl who usually talks, laughs and is cheerful, today is full of sadness.

"Cheng Cong and I had a serious quarrel."

Cheng Cong?

Yu Dongqing remembered that he heard from Meili that he was her roommate in the dormitory and studied acting. The relationship between the two was not good. Cheng Cong also refused to shoot the short film "Old Boy" by Meili because of the low pay.

"You are all adults, and you still quarrel like children?" Yu Dongqing asked with a smile.

"She said too much! She said that I can't make a good movie at all, it's a waste of your script! She also said that everyone who invested in me is blind!"

The latter sentence is indeed somewhat vicious.

Yu Dongqing frowned slightly.

"Then how did you answer?"

"I'll let her wait and see! Then we'll see who is blind!"

Ah?

"Brother-in-law, I must work hard. Even if I lose ten pounds, I still have to make a movie that is both popular and well-received!" Meiliang said, clenching her fists to cheer herself up.

"Losed ten pounds of meat? That would be too thin and ugly." Yu Dongqing laughed.

"Brother-in-law, I am telling you seriously, but you are joking with me!"

"Okay, no kidding." Yu Dongqing said quickly: "I believe you will do well in filming, and I support you!"

"Thank you, brother-in-law." Mingliang smiled sweetly.

My brother-in-law told the truth and was very supportive of me.

Not only did he write his own script, but he also invested heavily in his own movie!

After chatting with Yu Dongqing for a while, Meili felt much better.

"Hey, Mingliang, how do you like the script?" Yu Dongqing suddenly asked.

"I've read it no less than ten times, and I've added my own thoughts and opinions on some key content. I'll send it to you later." Meiliang was a little arrogant.

Yu Dongqing nodded.

"But brother-in-law, the capital matter is very troublesome. I heard Li Wan said it is very difficult to deal with." Meiliang frowned again.

"Don't worry about the funding for the time being, let Li Wan figure it out." Yu Dongqing replied: "Tell me how is your search for actors going?"

"I have an idea. The male lead is playing the role of Xiaobei. I plan to ask Zhang Han to play the role. His temperament is very suitable for this role."

Zhang Han?

This time and space is a popular niche, and his acting skills are pretty good.

only

"Zhang Han seems to be in his early thirties, right?" Yu Dongqing asked.
