On the way from Deyun Club to the parking lot, Zhong Yunqing remembered a very serious thing:
I had agreed with Lao Guo before that the three million promised to invest in shares in the next few days would be received. But the money in his hand does not seem to be enough!
I can only blame him for spreading his business too widely during this period. As a result, his ability to make money is far behind his own ambition...
Zhong Yunqing probably still has more than 7 million yuan left in his hands. However, 4 million of this money is planned to be used to make TV series, and more than 3 million yuan is planned to be used to make movies.
If you misappropriate any stroke now, the subsequent shooting will be passive.
The reason is that his current source of income is a bit low. Apart from filming movies and advertising, the only other source of income is royalties.
However, as the books he wrote were completed one by one, the subsequent subscription income dropped sharply. The subscriptions for the three books combined could barely sustain about 700,000 yuan a month.
Of course, with a monthly income of more than 700,000 yuan, this kind of income was still an absolutely high income in 2006!
But Zhong Yunqing is not only a platinum author, he is also a reborn person!
700,000, how can such an income be earned in time travel? How can a reborn person not have his own property in two years and have to work hard as a code farmer!
After all, he had read many rebirth novels in his previous life.
The protagonists in those rebirth novels basically hang out for two or three years, with the help of various noble people, or the help of various awesome young men. Then they advance all the way to become the richest man in the country, defeating two horses and one king.
Something!
How come when he was reborn, the "script" was reversed?
"Hey... why can't you give me another system after you've been reborn?"
Zhong Yunqing raised his head to look at the moon half covered by dark clouds in the sky, and sighed helplessly in his heart.
But it's useless to think about it now, the problem still needs to be solved.
So Zhong Yunqing grabbed Sisi who was walking in front and stopped talking with an embarrassed expression.
As for the girl, it was rare for her to see her boyfriend like this, so she looked at him curiously.
The two looked at each other briefly before Zhong Yunqing said:
"Sisi, what about that, can you lend me some money..."
This opening statement immediately made Sisi fall silent and frown.
Her reaction was not because she had no money, but because she was curious. Her boyfriend had previously claimed to be worth tens of millions, so why did he suddenly want to borrow money from her?
So Sisi asked him back:
"I remember you have more than ten million, don't you? Why are you so short of money all of a sudden?"
After finishing speaking, before Zhong Yunqing could open his mouth to explain, the girl suddenly looked enlightened, pointed at him with her finger and continued:
"Oh, I see, are you having a little vixen behind my back? It's always written like this in the book, 'Men become bad when they have money'!"
After the guy finished speaking, the girl had a fierce expression and squinted her eyes.
"Hurry up and tell the truth!"
"Look, you're here again! I haven't left your sight in this period of time, how can I have the chance to keep the little fox!"
As a result, his words completely overturned. Sisi immediately grasped the topic and said:
"Look, look, don't bring it upon yourself! You really want to have the opportunity to be a vixen! Lao Zhong, this idea of yours is too much!"
"I..." Zhong Yunqing didn't know when the girl's brain began to become so strange!
"Also, have you forgotten that we were not together for a long time? When you were studying directing in Chongqing, you were outside my monitoring range for several months!"
"Humph, no wonder those novels say: Men are not good things!"
This is all a mess!
It's deep in the bones that girls like to mess around. Zhong Yunqing can't let her lead her around like this. Otherwise, she can make up everything in your head!
Then they got into a big fight over these unfounded "crimes", and finally the girl slammed the door and walked out in anger. The next day, major media across the country quoted a photo taken by the paparazzi, and made random assumptions that he was a scumbag...
Thinking about these scenes, Zhong Yunqing immediately stopped and turned to Sisi and hugged her:
"I told you not to read those dirty books every day. Why are you always disobedient? Is it because my books are no longer good?"
Sisi replied very well:
"You have the nerve to say that! It's not because of your sudden change that I had to read other people's books. Then I learned a lot of such things."
Regarding Sisi's words, Zhong Yunqing could only respond helplessly:
"No way, I'm too busy during this period! I don't update weekly like Toad and the others, but I'm already very worthy of the readers! I only have time to code at night every day, and when I'm sleepy, I can only publish the first draft before I wake up.
Modify it again... is it easy for me!"
Of course Sisi knew that her boyfriend was really busy, and she was just complaining just now, so she wouldn't stop reading his book just because he was up to speed.
So he hugged Zhong Yunqing and said:
"It's okay, no matter what other people do, I will always support you!"
The young couple made love under the moonlight for a while. Only then did Sisi think of his previous act of borrowing money and asked again in confusion:
"Where has all the money in your account gone, and you still want to borrow money from me? I am your girlfriend, and I don't even know how you spend your money. This is a bit too much!"
Faced with Sisi's doubts, Zhong Yunqing of course quickly explained:
"Okay then, I will tell you the expenses during this period of time, one by one."
"Well, you say."
Zhong Yunqing clasped his fingers and said one by one:
"Look, I actually bought two million of the two stocks that I introduced my father-in-law to buy before. I also need to prepare funds for filming. The total investment in your movie is 7.5 million, and I will pay half of it myself.
; And this time for Chef Fang, I have to pay four million myself..."
As he spoke, Zhong Yunqing looked ashamed, silently despising himself in his heart and said:
"Zhong Yunqing, Zhong Yunqing, you bastard time-traveler! It has been two years since you were reborn, and you are still wallowing in the tens of millions of levels. You should commit suicide immediately! Don't embarrass the time-traveling army..."
But thinking about it, in fact, if he had a little more time, he would have been able to raise enough money to invest in Deyun Society with a few months of manuscript fees, but he just didn't have enough time.
When Lao Guo heard that he was willing to invest three million, he couldn't wait to renovate the interior space. The money must be spent within these three to five days no matter what!
Therefore, Zhong Yunqing could only "shamelessly" ask Sisi to borrow it first.
"So, sister, you lend me this money first, and when this company starts up, I will share my shares with you in half, how about it!"
Sisi, who shares Shenma, actually doesn't care. In this girl's limited knowledge, cross talk is actually a very niche thing.
But since Zhong Yunqing is optimistic about it and has asked her to borrow it, she still won't refuse.
However, thinking about defeat before thinking about victory, Sisi still looked at her boyfriend a little worried:
"What if we lose money?"
"It doesn't matter if you lose. Anyway, I don't have the money to pay back now. The worst thing I can do is be more diligent in the future and give you 'meat, compensation' every day!"
"Fuck you, you're not serious!"
"Sister, to be honest, I am very serious about this matter! Anyway, within a few years you will know how far-sighted your husband is."
Anyway, Sisi was now immune to his frequent claims of "husband", "husband-in-law" and the like. She rolled her eyes and ignored him.
"Okay, tomorrow I will transfer four million to you, you can give three million to Deyun Club, and the remaining one million will be used to invest 500,000 in each of my TV series and movies."
Of course Zhong Yunqing would not have any objection to his young girlfriend's strong investment in shares. He just thought unscrupulously in his heart:
Look, look, the little rich woman’s poem is online! I just took out four million casually, and it’s an understatement!
Zhong Yunqing suddenly felt like he was getting close to the little rich woman, and he was suddenly possessed by salty fish and didn't want to work hard anymore...
After the money issue was settled, Zhong Yunqing borrowed flowers to offer to the Buddha with a wave of his hand, looked at Sisi with high spirits and said:
"Sister, let's go. I'm in a good mood today. Let's go eat Malatang. I'll treat you!"
After Sisi heard these words, she really couldn't complain.
This guy took her money and only treated her to spicy hotpot?
Sisi regretted it now and wished she could kick him away.
…………
In the blink of an eye, three days of cell phone use passed by quietly.
After Deyunshe's share exchange was completed, Zhong Yunqing focused on preparing for the TV series.
Fortunately, the filming team has people from Tang Dynasty, so he only needs to recruit actors.
So Zhong Yunqing and Si Sibing split up. Zhong Yunqing first visited He Zhengjun and tried his best to persuade him to play the role of Lord Shen, the prefect.
However, Lao He refused at first because he said that he didn't like costume dramas. It wasn't that he didn't want to act in them, but that he thought costumes were too troublesome.
Later, he carefully read the script left by Zhong Yunqing... Well, how should I put it, he felt that the role of the prefect would definitely be interesting to play.
To be honest, after being an actor for so many years, I have reached their age and level. I no longer have much pressure to support my family. The most important thing is to make more outstanding works that I like.
There is no doubt that in He Zhengjun's eyes, the script of "Chef Fang" is definitely excellent!
So after Zhong Yunqing visited the thatched cottage three times, He Zhengjun finally relented and agreed to participate in the show:
"Okay, then I will act in a costume drama again."
Speaking of the prefect's wife, it was not Zhong Yunqing who invited Yan Ni, but Sisi.
The relationship between her and Yan Ni had already been well established during the filming of "Wulin Gaiden". It happened that the other party did not have any suitable filming contracts during this period. Sisi came to the door with a script and a salary that she could not refuse. Yan Ni read the script and
After only five minutes of consideration, I agreed to participate.
Because she had a hunch that this role could help her get out of her current predicament!
Not to mention the other supporting roles, the girls in Sisi's dormitory, when they received the notice to participate in the show, and heard from Sisi that Zhong Yunqing decided to let them star in this drama very early, all of them wanted to hug them.
He kissed me!
Because the novel "Chef Fang" has always dominated the rankings on female channels, girls such as Zhang Jianing and Mao Xiaotong, who play novels on female channels every day, of course know how popular this book is in the online literary circle!
In the hearts of these two girls, this drama is really suitable for them to act in as their first drama!
After securing all the main actors for this drama, Zhong Yunqing initially thought that the assistant director could just find the guest actors who would appear in one or two episodes at will.
As a result, he was about to hand it over to Lao Cai when he received a call from Xu Zheng.
Of course, the other party didn't call to ask for the role, it was just out of concern as a friend. To be honest, the circle of actors is actually quite small, and the news that Zhong Yunqing was going to film a TV series quickly spread among his circle of friends.
"Yun Qing, what's wrong? I heard you want to make a TV series?"
After asking briefly, he then continued:
"Why are you so upset? Aren't you preparing for a movie?" Xu Zheng called over.
"Do you have any acting appointments recently?"
"That's not true."
"That's just right. You and your sister-in-law can come over and help me play a role. When Xu Zheng heard this, he replied half-jokingly:
"What are you acting for? I don't care about ordinary people, I tell you."
"Don't worry, it will definitely be a good job. Haven't you played the role of the emperor of the Ming Dynasty before? It's the same this time, you still play the emperor! My sister-in-law will play your noble concubine."
Xu Zheng laughed and said:
"That's about right. Okay, then I'll go with my wife to help you out."
As soon as this idea started, Zhong Yunqing couldn't hold it back.
Damn, the daring ones will starve to death, and the timid ones will starve to death. Since Xu Zheng and his wife have agreed to guest appearance, he might as well just stop doing it and just play the big one!
While these people who have some friendship with me haven't grown up yet, call them one by one to make an appointment. Let's have a future all-star lineup first!
So, Zhong Yunqing, who was full of bad things, dug out his address book and called the actors he knew one by one.
First of all, there is the Stone Crew. The movie is scheduled to be released at the end of October and has not yet been released. Naturally, these people have no idea that they will become popular.
Zhong Yunqing just made a time difference and brought these people over to make a cameo for him.
"Hey, Brother Bo, what have you been busy with lately?"
"Hey, what can I be busy with? I'm unemployed at home. What, do you have a job to introduce me to?"
Isn't this a coincidence? Zhong Yunqing responded with a smile:
"I really have a good job here, but I don't know if you are willing to..."
"I can't even open the pot. How can I be so particular about it? Let me tell you quickly."
"That's it. I plan to try to shoot a TV series in a few days and practice my skills first. How about you come over and help me play a role? I will definitely give you a discount in terms of salary. I will give you 20,000."
This number made Huang Bo stunned for a moment. You must know that in 2006, 20,000 was not a small amount of money.
Huang Bo didn't joke before. He was really short of money during this period. So as soon as the number came out, he immediately made a decision.
But I still asked casually:
"What role are you going to let me play?"
"Don't worry, whoever follows the other brother among us will definitely have a good life. I'll let you play the role of the prince!"
Huang Bo laughed from the bottom of his heart. He has been playing the role of a migrant worker for so many years, and suddenly being able to play the role of the "Prince" made him feel a bit like "a scholar will die for his confidant"...
"It's interesting. We can also have the opportunity to play the role of 'Prince'. I didn't say anything, but I promised you!"
This is not a spoof by Zhong Yunqing. The prince in his previous life was also average-looking. And with Huang Bo's future film performance, playing a villain prince in a TV series cannot be said to be particularly spoofing.
Besides, Xu Zheng plays the emperor, Huang Bo plays the prince... Of course the remaining second prince Zhong Yunqing also needs to find someone who can match them!
So just like that, he instantly thought of Baoqiang, who was doing nothing now.
Speaking of Bao Qiang, this young man has suddenly become free since filming Soldier Assault. Moreover, this drama is scheduled to be released in December, and he is now an "unemployed vagrant".
When Zhong Yunqing was filming Soldiers, he got along well with Bao Qiang. So as soon as he called, Bao Qiang quickly agreed to come over and play a guest role as the second prince.
Of course, the most important thing is that Zhong Yunqing gave too much! The participation fee of 10,000 yuan is still very considerable for Bao Qiang, who is still an ordinary actor, and he really can't find a reason to refuse.
Of course, at this time, the guest salary of 20,000 to 30,000 yuan is indeed not cheap. But the accounting cannot be calculated like this. These great masters are gathered in one drama. After a few years, after these people have skyrocketed one by one, this drama will be re-run.
The rate may also explode!
Thinking of this, Zhong Yunqing couldn't help but let out a "villain's laughter": Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie Jie!
Zhong Yunqing, the remaining character, did not waste his time. He happened to learn that Deyun Club was going to renovate the venue after accepting his three million, and Lao Guo and Lao Yu wanted to travel. So Zhong Yunqing used his invincible evasion to get this person.
The two "fooled" him to go to Hengdian and help him play a role.
Needless to say, it was the first time that the two of them heard that someone was asking them to film a movie. They both felt it was new and agreed immediately. There weren't many scenes anyway.
Lao Guo plays a guest role as the restaurant manager, who is Miao Shitou's father in the plot. Teacher Yu Qian has a larger role, as he plays a guest role as the restaurant chef, and is later arranged by the prince to become the restaurant owner.
Then there is the little fat guy Yue Yunpeng. As luck would have it, Deyun Club was out of business for renovations during this period. Lao Guo said that he would let him come to study after it reopened, but he has not yet agreed to directly accept apprentices. There is a three-month "trial period"
Take a look first.
But for a fat guy like him, Lao Guo still likes him in his heart. Fat guys have a sense of joy and have certain advantages in cross talk.
So Zhong Yunqing didn't let him go, brought him back to Hengdian, and assigned him the role of Xiao Stutter, the male supporting actor.
It is worth mentioning that in Chef Fang written by Zhong Yunqing, it is vaguely mentioned that "Little Stutter" and "Little Shitou" are a pair!
The subsequent roles were all part of the guest cast for each episode, and Zhong Yunqing left all arrangements to Boss Cai. However, his salary was higher than that of other crew members, which was an unexpected surprise.
Even Xiao Fang Yishao and Zhong Yunqing, who only had one camera, contacted Song Group's friend to make a guest appearance!
This little girl has good acting skills. The last of Zhong Yunqing's three movies needs a very important young actor, so now we are contacting her first.
In addition, there was a scene in the plot about catching human traffickers. There were several little kids who were rescued in that episode, and Zhong Yunqing didn't let them go either.
The contacts are four-year-old Zhao Jinmai, five-year-old Zhang Zifeng, and seven-year-old Wu Lei...
