74. A little less
Qin Xiangyang booked a hotel in Wuxian County. Fortunately, today was a working day, otherwise he might not have been able to book a private room.
The two cars of people arrived one after the other and entered the box.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Wang Qian had some guesses in her mind. It seemed that the conversation just now was not pleasant, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
"How much is the budget for this drama?" Qin Xiangyang asked after waiting for the cold dishes.
Although I already know the investment amount from the system, I still need to ask again to confirm.
"The total budget is 1.5 million." Yin Changzai immediately responded: "Mr. Qin, this budget is already very low. None of the leading actors asked for salary, and the expenses were all for equipment and other external work.
personnel."
Indeed, 1.5 million to shoot a TV series is already very cheap, but if you hire a star to help out, I'm afraid it won't be enough to pay for the film.
These are a group of young people with dreams, so the purpose now is not to make money, but to become famous.
Qin Xiangyang nodded and said, "Okay."
Seeing this, Mr. Qin still planned to invest money. Yin Changzai and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and feel a little happy.
For a while, there was some silence at the dinner table. Yin Changzai broke the awkwardness, took the initiative to talk, and also told some about their situation.
Yin Changzai is a senior graduate of the Directing Department of the Shanghai Academy of Arts, and he is also the one who single-handedly started this crew. The oldest remaining is Li Shang, who is also a senior, Wang Qiang is a sophomore, and the remaining two girls are
They are all freshmen.
Then he smiled and said: "It's a coincidence that we were shooting scenes in Shanshui Street the day before yesterday. I didn't expect to come to Wuxian again today."
Qin Xiangyang was stunned for a moment, the day before yesterday? The shooting at Shanshui Street?
Could it be that this was the crew they saw that day?
Qin Xiangyang turned to look at Liu Yunxi. She was wearing a loose coat today, so she didn't see that she was the big cheongsam lady that day.
Liu Yunxi was looked at a little baffled, and she felt more vigilant in her heart.
"Oh? So, I shouldn't be the first person to invest, right?" Qin Xiangyang thought of what happened that day, guessed what happened in an instant, and asked.
When I saw them calling it a day, it looked a bit like the investors had withdrawn their capital.
Yin Changzai's face stiffened slightly. He originally wanted to hide it for a while, but he never expected that Mr. Qin would find out so quickly. Could it be that he had investigated it before?
Yin Chang felt a pain in his heart. If he had known it, he would have spoken out earlier. Being discovered and confessing to him were completely different things.
"Mr. Qin is really wise." Yin Changzai flattered him first, and then said with some embarrassment: "There was a boss before, and he withdrew his capital."
"Oh? Why did you divest?" Qin Xiangyang asked curiously, is it because he doesn't like the show?
But if you don’t like this show, why did you vote for it in the first place?
Moreover, if you withdraw your capital after startup, you will definitely not be able to withdraw the full amount, and the losses will be in vain.
"Ahem, it's because of some business problems!" Li Shang coughed lightly and interjected, trying to hide the matter.
Qin Xiangyang saw that their expressions were a little unnatural, and he suddenly said with a smile but not a smile: "Oh? Really?"
"Hey, to be honest with Mr. Qin, he wanted the actress in our drama to accompany him to socialize. Because he didn't agree to his request, he withdrew the investment." At this point, Yin Changzai had to tell the truth, but he didn't say where he wanted it.
an actress, or both.
Qin Xiangyang glanced at Liu Yunxi, took a sip of tea silently, and said that he was accompanying him to socialize. Maybe he wanted to hide the rules?
Sure enough, the entertainment industry is very chaotic. Things like this are already happening before we even get into it.
No wonder, this girl was so excited before, her feelings were misunderstood and she wanted to do something to her.
"Mr. Qin, I'm sorry. It's my fault for not confessing to you in advance, but don't worry, the previous investor withdrawal was definitely not due to the acting problems of our crew and actors!" Yin Changzai stood up and bowed respectfully.
.
Qin Xiangyang nodded and said nonchalantly: "It's okay, just tell me to open it."
"Mr. Qin, aren't you angry?" Wang Qian looked cautious.
"Fortunately, you would be angry if you kept hiding this from me." Qin Xiangyang glanced at Li Shang, who suddenly looked unnatural.
"Mr. Qin is magnanimous. I'll offer you a cup of tea instead of wine!" Wang Qian picked up the cup filled with juice and said.
Qin Xiangyang raised his glass without clinking it, clinked it on the table, and drank a glass of orange juice.
"Mr. Qin, it's my fault, I should respect you too." Yin Chang felt relieved in his heart and spoke gratefully. Then he felt a little embarrassed while holding the cup, so he said: "Would you like the waiter to bring two bottles?
liquor?"
Qin Xiangyang didn't have time to refuse. He originally wanted to say that everyone should be casual and stop drinking, but Wang Qiang said enthusiastically: "Of course, girls can just use juice. Director Yin, how can you use juice to respect Mr. Qin?"
Then, he asked the waiter to bring two bottles of red wine.
Wang Qiang was very kind and filled up the two glasses. He poured half a glass himself, and then asked excitedly: "Qianqian, do you want some? Red wine can beautify your skin and help you sleep better at night!"
Wang Qian glanced at Qin Xiangyang without any trace, and then said shyly: "Then I should drink less. I have a bad drinking capacity."
Suddenly, Wang Qiang became even more excited. He quickly took another cup and poured her half a glass of red wine. Then he turned to look at Liu Yunxi.
"I don't want it anymore..." Liu Yunxi refused awkwardly.
"Everyone drinks. If you don't drink, won't you be disrespecting Mr. Qin?" Wang Qiang said with an unhappy look on his face.
Qin Xiangyang frowned. It was none of his business, so why bother with him?
When Liu Yunxi saw Qin Xiangyang frowning, she thought he was a little displeased. Remembering that she had already refuted someone's face in the taxi just now, she could only nod: "Less."
"Hey, don't worry, we will take you back when the time comes." Wang Qiang poured a full glass of red wine for Liu Yunxi, and then poured it for Li Shang.
At this time, Qin Xiangyang and Yin Changzai had already had a drink and opened it, so let's drink.
Although Yin Changzai said, "You can do whatever you want, I'll kill you." Qin Xiangyang still finished the drink.
Yin Chang was actually a little grateful at this time. He suddenly felt that Mr. Qin was different from Mr. Wang. He was tolerant and generous, and his eyes were clear when he looked at people, including when he looked at Liu Yunxi, so he felt that he didn't seem to be the same person.
I didn’t have any dirty thoughts, I just had my own preconceptions.
"Come on, Mr. Qin, let me toast you!" Wang Qiang then came to toast: "You can do whatever you want, I'll do it!"
After saying that, he let out a sigh of relief.
