Chapter 102 Half a year later(1/2)

"I announce that "Crazy Stone" is officially finished!"

As Ning Hao shouted these words through the director's loudspeaker, the crew, which had been busy for nearly fourteen months, was finally about to return.

"Yeah, it's done!"

"Ugh!...Woo!"

Everyone in the crew, whether they are actors or behind-the-scenes staff, is roaring in their own way to celebrate their efforts during this period.

Zhong Yunqing stood next to Ning Hao, watching this scene equally happily.

This is the fourth month since Zhong Yunqing came to Chongqing. The filming of the movie was completed much later than Ning Hao originally expected.

No way, after entering July, the rainy season came early. The next two months could only be stopped.

But no matter what, the filming has finally been completed. Post-production has been going on while filming. The remaining two months can be completed. As expected, it will not be a big problem to release it during the October holiday.

.

However, although the filming of the movie has been completed, given that the Stone Crew has spent all the filming funds, Zhong Yunqing, as the second largest investor, still generously accepted the final banquet.

In the end, he spent his own money to treat the crew to a delicious meal in the local area.

During the dinner, after three drinks and five dishes, everyone entered the chatting mode.

Ning Hao's wife Xing Aina, as the screenwriter of Stone, has always been with the crew, so naturally she also attended the closing party.

Moreover, she also helped Zhong Yunqing revise his movie script.

"Yun Qing, I have completed the script you helped me revise. In fact, there is nothing wrong with the script you wrote. I only modified some details. You can just follow this script when the time comes."

"To be honest, I have read a lot of literary and artistic film scripts, but yours is quite unique and makes people feel a sense of expectation. I am very optimistic about this story. If it works well after filming, it will have a box office score of over 10 million.

I don’t think it’s a big problem.”

Regarding Xing Aina's words, Zhong Yunqing did not elaborate, but turned the conversation to Ning Hao:

"Director Ning, did you hear that your wife is optimistic about my script? You can make up your mind about what I told you before."

Hearing Zhong Yunqing's pretentious statement, Xing Aina looked at him and lightly touched Ning Hao with her elbow:

"What did you discuss before?"

"Yun Qing said that the film will start shooting around October, and he wants me to participate in part of the investment. Then he will ask me to help him run it at China Film."

So that's what happened. After Ning Hao said this, Xing Aina admired Zhong Yunqing a little bit. She thought this young man was quite good at things.

So she also added fuel to the fire and said:

"Since Yun Qing asked you to participate, you should vote for it. I think this book is pretty good!"

Of course Ning Hao would not doubt his wife's professional vision.

He has actually read this script before, but he is not a particularly professional screenwriter after all. Considering that this movie is a literary romance film, he is a little worried about the box office results after filming.

But now that professional screenwriters like my wife think it’s good, I can feel free to join.

With an idea in mind, Ning Hao stopped dragging his feet. Instead, he looked at Zhong Yunqing and asked:

"How much funding does your movie require?"

"The initial tentative decision is 3.7 million. I will invest 2 million myself, and I plan to go to China Film and Television to get another 1.5 million."

The rest is self-explanatory.

"I heard you said before that you had a deposit of 200,000 yuan and were planning to pay the down payment for buying a house. I think you should stop worrying about buying a house and just take out the money and put it in."

Having said this, Zhong Yunqing changed to a half-joking tone and continued:

"I dare not tell you more, but I am confident that I can guarantee to help you with the down payment of this apartment and the down payment of a bungalow."

"I dare not say this! The bungalows in Yanjing must cost at least one million!"

Ning Hao smiled and cursed, already making a decision in his heart.

"Okay, anyway, this money of mine belongs to my wife. Since my wife has agreed to "squander" it in advance, I also believe you..."

After finishing the wedding banquet, the group of people were walking back to the hotel. Then everyone witnessed with their own eyes a car accident not far away across the road.

A white car seemed to have lost control. It suddenly rushed out of the driveway, knocked down the guardrail, rushed straight into the green belt, and finally hit a big tree where five people were hugging...

The unconscious driver was quickly rescued by nearby pedestrians and was able to walk with help. Visual inspection suggested that he was not seriously injured. However, looking at the front of the car that was constantly smoking, it seemed that the car was in trouble.

Seeing this car accident, Zhong Yunqing remembered that according to the original timeline, Lao Hu, the leading artist of the Tang Dynasty, should have had a car accident that would trigger his transformation in ten days and a half...

In his previous life, Zhong Yunqing read a saying that without this car accident, there would have been no Lao Hu.

To be honest, Zhong Yunqing is actually disgusted with such a statement!

Isn’t this nonsense! In fact, when people change and grow up, they will naturally grow.

Just like when most people look back at their high school and college years, or at themselves ten years ago, they will feel naive and ridiculous.

The same goes for Lao Hu. Even if there is no car accident, he will slowly transform over time.

Besides, what kind of growth requires a human life? An assistant was killed in his car accident.

The reason why Zhong Yunqing thought of this was because of an idea he had before.

This was a bold idea that came from his "expansion" after participating in three hit dramas.

But if you want to put this idea into action, you need to have a good talk with Tangren’s boss Cai.

As for whether we can save Lao Hu and the poor assistant in the process and save them from this disaster... we still need to see what Boss Cai makes.

However, Zhong Yunqing had no way of contacting Boss Cai. She remembered that she once wanted to take Sisi to Tangren. Maybe Sisi had her contact information.

So after returning to the hotel, Zhong Yunqing called Sisi.

As a result, this girl didn't answer the question right away. She is now practicing eye contact with Ying Bao on the balcony of the dormitory.

As for why Ying Bao was in their dormitory, it was actually because Lin Peng had a boyfriend and moved outside a while ago.

When Sisi saw that there was a vacant bed, she acted coquettishly with her sister-in-law and asked her to help her move Yingbao into the girls' dormitory of Zhongxi Drama.

After all, I have to walk ten minutes every day to get to the Central Theater, and she has to go out to pick me up when I get in. It's a bit troublesome, so I'd better just stay in the dormitory.

Ying Bao's performance in the class during this period was pretty good, so Teacher Liu readily agreed. It was easy for a Chinese opera teacher to rent a dormitory.

No one answered Zhong Yunqing's first call, and five minutes later he called a second time.

Sisi muted the sound during her performance class before, but forgot to turn it back after class.

Fortunately, her mobile phone was placed on the computer table. Zhang Jianing happened to come over to get something and saw the caller ID. So he shouted towards the balcony:

"Sisi, your phone number."

"Help me pick it up and see who it is..."

Sisi was practicing and was too lazy to move, so she shouted without looking back.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she realized it because her caller ID had been set by Zhong Yunqing when he went to Chongqing last month and changed it to "husband".

And her caller ID on Zhong Yunqing's mobile phone was in the name of "housewife"...

At first, the girl thought it was quite romantic, so she let him do whatever he wanted. However, now I think about it, it was romantic to be so romantic, and being seen by outsiders... did she want to see anyone else?

"Oh, I saw it, it was your 'husband' calling. Hehe."

Zhang Jianing held the phone and was having fun there, and as soon as she said it, the expressions of Mao Xiaotong and Zhao Liying instantly became ambiguous. Sisi looked at the trotting figure and said funnyly:

"Oh...husband!"

"Oh, I'm ignoring you!"

Sisi took the phone from Zhang Jianing and ran to the balcony shyly.

"Hey, Lao Zhong..."

Zhong Yunqing's somewhat confused voice came from the phone:

"Why did it take you so long to answer the phone? What are you doing?"

"You have the nerve to say it! It's all because of the nickname you set. Everyone in my dormitory knows it! Do I still want to be a human being?"

"Hey, you know it. Anyway, everyone in your class knows that I am your boyfriend. And I have also invited you to dinner. We are legitimate and have nothing to be afraid of!"

After hearing these words, the girl immediately rolled her eyes angrily.

"You keep telling me lies every day! Why are you calling me?"

When Sisi asked Zhong Yunqing, he immediately remembered:

"Oh, yes, I almost forgot about business. That's right, I just wanted to ask you if you still have Boss Cai's contact information."

Her boyfriend suddenly remembered to ask her if she had Boss Cai’s contact information. This made Sisi confused. Is there anything that the two of them can contact?

But thinking about it, Sisi still expressed her thoughts:

"I still have her contact information, what's wrong?"

"Yes, that's fine. I can't tell you the specific details on the phone. I'll tell you in detail when I get back tomorrow. You can help me make an appointment with her tomorrow. I just said that I want to meet her in two days..."

Although her boyfriend had already said that he would discuss it in detail when he comes back tomorrow, Sisi still asked out of curiosity:
To be continued...
