At around ten o'clock in the morning, a message came on Wen Shu's mobile phone, saying that the new car had been delivered to the door and she needed to sign for it before it could be delivered.
After getting up and signing for the goods normally, she drove the car to the parking lot. In a few days, Lixian and Nandrolone's limited edition sports car would also be shipped.
Having a car makes it easier to go out, so Wen Shu went to Xu Miao's coffee shop.
Xu Miao today is not as glamorous as the last time we met. She is not accompanied by a brand-name dress. She is just like an ordinary person wearing a simple T-shirt, shorts, and no hat, sitting and drinking coffee.
Wen Shu came and sat down, and Xu Miao's eyes lit up, "Sister Shu, I finally see you again."
"Does the blister around your mouth not matter?"
As soon as I sat down, I saw the big blisters on Xu Miao's lips. Even though her face was pretty, it couldn't withstand the damage caused by the blisters.
Xu Miao carefully touched her lower lip, "Oh, forget it, I was in a hurry. I recently read a good book, and the director also decided that I would be the protagonist, but the investment was not in place yet and it was difficult to start the filming. When I was anxious, blisters appeared.
.”
Wen Shu: "It's useless to rush things like this. Since you said your book is good, it should be a matter of time to get investment."
Xu Miao sighed, "If I do get investment, the protagonist may not be me. Now the industry is not as prosperous as before. Everyone wants to make steady money. Good scripts and good investment will immediately follow well-known actors. It is a risky possibility for me, and I will be
abandon."
Wen Shu didn't know this, "Then what are you going to do?"
Xu Miao held her chin with her hands, "I have decided to mortgage my house in Beijing and go to the bank for a loan. I have a feeling that this drama will become popular, but I don't know how far it will go."
Judging from her attitude, she believed in the book very much.
"Send me the director's WeChat account. If it really has that potential, I'm willing to invest."
Xu Miao, who was still wondering which bank to go to to mortgage the house, took a few seconds to recover after hearing this, and then said in disbelief: "Really? Are you willing to know?"
Wen Shu nodded, "It's not a bad thing to understand. If you're really not satisfied, then talk about it."
Xu Miao cheerfully sent the director's WeChat message, "The director is considered a newcomer in the industry. He has graduated from college several years ago, and he recently decided to regain his dream of directing."
Wen Shu made a note of his purpose and waited for the other party to pass.
"It just so happens that I also plan to make some investments, so I'll start with this investment."
If this investment really comes through, and if it succeeds, the popularity and attention she will receive from live streaming will be incomparable.
Xu Miao instantly felt that the blisters were no longer so painful, "I'll invite you to the store I often go to. The food there is really good."
Wen Shu put down the coffee cup and pointed at her blisters, "Is this okay with you?"
"Hey, it's okay." Xu Miao held her arm and said, "It's just a matter of anger. Just go to a beauty salon and get it sorted out."
The restaurant introduced by Xu Miao was indeed delicious, and the two of them ate and chatted until the afternoon.
When I got home, I found that the director named Du Xiao had already passed the verification.
Wen Shu: [I heard from Xu Miao that you have a good book to shoot, can you tell me about it]
The person there must have been watching the phone all the time, and immediately entered the typing state when he saw the message.
Du Xiao: [I will send you the streamlined script, as well as the filmed preview footage]
Wen Shu walked to the sofa and read the script. She only read the first part and found it quite interesting. No wonder Xu Miao was so optimistic about it.
Then there is the preview clip, which is the heroine played by Xu Miao. The scenes, dialogues and the actor's demeanor are all on point.
Wen Shu: [It’s pretty good, but if I invest, I can only give you money. I can’t help you with connections or anything else. How do you ensure that the video website can be launched smoothly and the investment will not be wasted]
Don’t worry about distribution and review. As long as you don’t use any illegal content, your battery won’t be stuck.
Du Xiao: [You can sign a contract. If it cannot go online, I am willing to compensate you for your investment, but I can only compensate you for the principal. Is this okay? 】
It's quite hard, but being able to say this is partly due to the confidence given by the work.
Wen Shu thought for a moment and agreed.
Wen Shu: [Okay, make an appointment to sign the contract, and I will bring a lawyer]
Over there, Du Xiao was confused when he saw that he was really willing to invest.
Was it so smooth?
The investors I had contacted in the past were all difficult to deal with. His words were almost worn out. The other investors would either praise the young and promising investors, or they would buy the script and find another well-known director to make the film.
This script was the work of his best friend, so how could it be sold casually?
After all the stumbling, God finally took pity on him and gave him such a straightforward investor.
But we can't relax yet, the contract hasn't been signed yet, and any changes are possible.
·
The agreed place to sign the contract was at a teahouse, and Du Xiao squeezed out some money from his savings to book a private room.
While he was waiting anxiously, someone opened the door near the appointed time.
The first thing that caught my eye was a very young and beautiful girl, with a childlike look on her face that was inexplicably reminiscent of a clear and innocent college student.
Behind him was a man in a suit with a serious face. After he came in, he sat on his right side, while Wen Shu was on the left.
"Du Xiao, right? My name is Wen Shu, and this is lawyer Qi Hao from Nanhuan Law Firm."
Du Xiao was immediately shocked by Wen Shu's youth. Xu Miao had mentioned that he was a young man, but he didn't expect him to be so young, looking like he was less than twenty.
Then there is this lawyer, Nanhuan Law Firm. Is he really a wealthy investor who can bring such a great lawyer?
"Hello."
Qi Hao put his briefcase on the seat next to him, "Miss Wen said she wanted to sign a contract. Have you brought it with you? I want to take a look first."
Du Xiao hurriedly took out the folder and opened it to find the contract.
"I'm not a professional. I drafted this contract after consulting some lawyers. You can see which parts need to be changed."
Qi Hao concentrated on reading the contract, and Du Xiao took out his laptop and opened it.
"Ms. Wen, in addition to the preview clip I showed you last time, I have other things here, including details about the script."
He turned the screen to Wen Shu and showed her the trial videos one by one. He smiled shyly and said, "To save costs, these were taken with a mobile phone. If it were a professional camera, it would definitely be better."
Wen Shu watched the videos one by one. Even if they were taken with a mobile phone, Du Xiao did an excellent job in framing the shots and capturing the emotions of the characters. Even if she was an outsider, she felt the shots were good.
After reading the details of the script, I roughly understood the story and made a decision in my mind.
"I have decided to invest, how much money do you still lack?"
This kind of question was too heroic, and Du Xiao blushed when he got excited, "There is still 10 million left. In order to save costs, except Xu Miao, we are going to choose new actors."
He was careful when speaking and repeatedly stated that he would save investment costs.
Wen Shu tilted his head, "I will give you 20 million yuan, and I will choose new actors according to your instructions, but they must fit the roles. I don't care about the rest. In addition, I will give you 20 million in follow-up investment funds. If after the filming,
If you cannot go online for half a year, you will have to compensate the investment principal."
Du Xiao was stunned.
We actually talked about it.
And he is willing to only lose the principal if he fails, and the interest of putting 20 million in the bank for a month will be quite a lot.
He was a little excited, his eyes were red, "Okay!"
Qi Hao read the contract and found that there was no big problem, but he needed to add details.
Less than two hours after signing the contract, 20 million funds arrived. Du Xiao couldn't believe it when he saw the amount, but he was finally able to start the machine.
