Jiang Bei was sitting under the shade of the trees, holding a carving knife and carving words on the bamboo.
Liangliang was sitting in the pavilion, playing with her mobile phone in various boredoms. Occasionally she glanced at the broad arms, with some thoughts in her eyes.
"Brother, are you in a bad mood recently?"
The two have been living together for almost a year. Jiangbei knows some of Liangliang's habits even better than Li Youqing. For example, when he is worried, he always likes to carve characters on bamboo with a carving knife.
Jiang Bei, who was carving words, paused when he heard the words, then shook his head, and while continuing to carve words, he replied: "I have made more than 100 million, how can I be in a bad mood?"
"The Cameras Don't Stop" has been released from theaters, with a box office of 452 million, which is more than he expected.
According to the box office share ratio of 37%, this film brought him 167 million in box office revenue.
After excluding taxes, the final figure is 130 million. (Don’t worry about the tax issue, it is not the focus, and in order to give everyone a better reading experience, in the future, any tax issues will be treated as 20%.)
A movie with an investment of less than one million made a profit of over 100 million.
You really shouldn't be in a bad mood.
And because during this period of time, after the "Camera" crew members broke out one after another about their poor acting performances, Li Youqing also gave up the idea of signing a contract with a film and television company and chose to study at the Blue Film and Television Academy.
Although the purpose of further training was to hone his acting skills, he still managed to curb Li Youqing's rising momentum, which can be regarded as the best of both worlds.
The only worry is that this matter may not go smoothly.
In addition, even if it goes smoothly, Li Youqing will eventually enter the entertainment industry again after completing her studies. By then, acting will no longer be her shortcoming, and her career in the entertainment industry will be easier.
The road is easy to walk.
The harder it is to persuade someone to quit.
So in fact, he is not in a bad mood, but is thinking about how to get Li Youqing out of the entertainment industry once and for all.
Liang Liang pursed her lips, walked to Jiangbei, sat down sideways, picked up a piece of bamboo that had already been engraved with words, and muttered: "Sometimes I really don't understand. Brother, you can create scripts, write lyrics and compose music. You are full of talent.
Why do you insist on stopping your sister-in-law from joining the entertainment industry? I think you can use these talents to help your sister-in-law and quickly help her take off and become a movie queen, a diva, and an entertainment superstar. Isn't this better?"
Jiangbei didn't speak, just engraved words.
"Actually, if you can turn your woman into the best being in the world, that would be an achievement, right?"
"Go get me a glass of water."
Taking the bamboo in Liangliang's hand, Jiang Bei stood up and walked to the four pavilions in the southeast, northwest, and hung up the bamboos one by one.
Liangliang trotted in to pour water and took out the poured cold water.
Jiang Bei sat in the pavilion, drank some water, looked at the green bamboos in the yard, listened to the summer insects chirping in his ears, and said slowly: "Because I want to live a more ordinary life."
"What's the point of ordinary life? It's almost faded away." Liang Liang complained in a low voice.
Life now is ordinary life, but she doesn't like it.
If it weren't for Jiang Bei, she might have left long ago.
"What, you want to go back to Ancheng and be your gambling king?" Jiang Bei glanced at Liang Liang.
"Hehe, that's not true." Liangliang scratched her head in embarrassment.
"How is the matter that you were asked to investigate?" Jiang Bei asked without continuing in this regard.
When it came to business, Liangliang returned to her seriousness and replied seriously: "There is a result. The senior sister from Sui Xi is named Ji Yingzi. She is thirty-three years old and unmarried. She is currently the tutor of the acting department of Weilan Film and Television Academy. She was there fifteen years ago.
Sui Xi and Sui Xi were admitted to the acting department of Weilan Academy of Film and Television at the same time. However, after graduation, Sui Xi chose filming, while Ji Yingzi chose
She chose to stay at Weilan Film and Television Academy to teach and began to learn directing-related knowledge. For more than ten years, she did not have any impressive resume, but people around her said that she had some brain problems, and most students were unwilling to go to her school.
class, so Ji Yingzi is the most dishonest instructor at Weilan Film and Television Academy."
"Then why did Suixi introduce her to Youyou?" Jiang Bei asked with a frown.
Judging from the current relationship between Sui Xi and Li Youqing, there is no reason for her not to introduce a better tutor in the acting department.
Liang Liang tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "Maybe Sui Xi also understood what you meant? Didn't you say that she sent you a text message a few days ago?"
Thinking of that inexplicable text message, Jiang Bei fell into silence.
Does she really understand?
"Then why does she want to help me?" The question came again. Jiangbei didn't think that his relationship with Sui Xi would be better than that between Sui Xi and Li Youqing.
"Please ask for something!" Liangliang flicked the bamboo hanging under the pavilion and said: "Now Suixi wants to 'act while you sing'. She must have valued your creative ability, brother, and wants to please you, and then
Let you sell a few more songs to her."
This...makes sense.
Just need to confirm it.
After the last Fat Fatty incident, I have to be more cautious in everything I do now.
Thinking of this, Jiang Bei looked at the time and found that it was already half past five, so he got up and walked outside: "It's getting late, I'll go back first."
"Oh...brother, please be safe on the road."
"Dududu~~"
The SUV started and drove onto Anshan Avenue, heading towards the city.
About twenty minutes later, after arriving at the city center, the road conditions suddenly became bad and blocked. Jiangbei's people and their car were stuck halfway on the road, unable to move forward.
"The Weilan City Road Traffic Radio reminds all drivers who are traveling that a traffic accident occurred on Weilan Road in the East Second Ring Road, which has caused serious traffic jams. Drivers who need to pass through Weilan Road in the East Second Ring Road are advised to change lanes in time.
, plan new roads to avoid any impact on your travel."
have to.
traffic accident.
It's probably going to be blocked now.
Seeing that he couldn't move even a step after being stuck in traffic for ten minutes, Jiang Bei simply took out his car keys and got out of the car, standing on the sidewalk and looking back and forth.
At a glance, they are all cars.
and the people surrounding the car.
Too many.
According to this situation, it probably won't be able to be unclogged within an hour or two.
"Gugu~~"
I'm a little hungry.
There happened to be a Malatang chain opposite.
"Youngyou is still at home. Let's bring her some after eating."
It has to be said that Jiang Bei feels that he is really a good man. While eating, he still does not forget his wife who has been paralyzed at home for many years.
Malatang business is very good.
There is no space left on the first floor.
Fortunately, there is still one on the second floor.
Follow the waiter to the second floor.
In the process of going upstairs, Jiang Bei felt a little depressed.
This restaurant's business is really good.
It's not like his mood is farmhouse.
well.
Maybe I really am not good at doing business.
While sighing, the waiter had already taken him to a seat to sit down.
After ordering the food, the next step is to sit and wait for the food to be served.
Just at this moment, a familiar voice came into my ears from behind.
"Senior sister, after all these years you still like eating spicy hotpot so much."
New Year's Eve?
And her senior sister?
That Ji Yingzi?
In an instant, Jiangbei's entire body became alert, and he pricked up his ears and listened carefully.
"I can't change it. It's just this one. If you suddenly invite me to dinner, just tell me what you have to say without beating around the bush."
"I have something to ask my senior sister for help."
"I'm sure I can't help you. Xi Liu~~"
"Senior sister is still so irritating when she talks."
"What? Is it possible that you want to fight with me here? It doesn't matter to me. I'm just afraid that you will make headlines tomorrow."
"Then senior sister is not afraid that the dean will find out and fire you?"
"Your argument is not valid. First, he has to be able to beat my mother. Okay, let's talk about it."
"In the class that recently applied for the Adult Performance Department of Weilan Film and Television Academy, there was a student named Li Youqing who I would like to recommend to my senior sister."
"Hey! The student you recommended? I dare not accept it."
"It doesn't matter. Senior sister doesn't need to take care of her too much. On the contrary, I hope that senior sister won't teach her anything. It's best to let her learn nothing. I can even tell her at the appropriate time that she is not suitable for acting and let her quit the entertainment industry."
Um?
These words...
Why is it different from what you imagined?
Jiang Bei, who was eavesdropping, frowned and didn't understand Sui Xi's operation.
Is it true that Sui Xi is enlightened as Liangliang speculated?
"Oh, why don't you say it yourself?"
"Being a star is her dream, but my advice is useless, so she can only come to a professional academy to make her understand that she has no talent."
The conversation still continues.
Ji Yingzi was eating spicy hotpot, and inadvertently glanced at Sui Xi who was wiping the corners of her mouth, and asked somewhat thoughtfully: "Aren't you afraid that I will expose this matter and damage your reputation?"
Sui Xi smiled calmly: "Senior sister can't do that."
Ji Yingzi nodded, stopped eating Malatang, picked up the cold drink and took a sip. A bright light flashed in her eyes and said, "Okay, but you have to help me get an investment of 100 million."
When Sui Xi heard this, his face froze and he said unnaturally: "Senior sister, you want me to pay such a big price for such a small thing?"
"It's not a big price, how do I know if you're setting a trap for me again?" Ji Yingzi sneered and said sarcastically: "After fighting for so many years, you still want to use that trick to provoke me?"
Sui Xi fell into silence and did not speak.
She didn't expect that her senior sister, who was usually not very smart, suddenly became smart today.
"In one sentence, either raise an investment of 100 million, or get out." Ji Yingzi looked at the silent Sui Xi and repeated.
Sui Xi still didn't speak.
Seeing this, Ji Yingzi showed a proud smile on her face, and was about to get up and leave, when suddenly a man opposite turned to look at them:
"No problem, I will vote for this 100 million!"
The one who spoke was naturally Jiangbei.
Seeing that a good opportunity was about to be missed, he finally couldn't hold it back and took the initiative to stand up.
Giving Li Youqing 100 million to quit the entertainment industry was a very good deal.
"Mr. Jiang!" Sui Xi was also shocked when she saw him. She quickly stood up from her seat and took off the hat on her head.
Fortunately, their position was in a corner, and Jiang Bei was blocking them in front, otherwise they would definitely be recognized at a glance.
"Who is he?" Ji Yingzi looked up and down and asked Xiang Suixi.
"I am Li Youqing's husband. As long as you accept her and do what Sui Xi said, I will invest 100 million for you. No matter what you do, whether it is a loss or a profit." Jiangbei did not let Sui Xi introduce him and took the initiative himself.
said.
"real?"
When Ji Yingzi heard about the 100 million investment, her eyes instantly lit up.
"certainly."
"No, Mr. Jiang..." Sui Xi wanted to say something.
"I understand, I'll talk about it later." Jiang Bei waved his hand, signaling Sui Xi not to speak.
"That's right, if you have anything to do with me, go ahead." Ji Yingzi pulled Jiang Bei to sit down, wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeves without any image, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, right? I have to tell you in advance, I
An investment of 100 million is needed to make a movie, and it is a science fiction theme that no one dares to touch in China nowadays. The loss rate is as high as 99%, so you have to think clearly."
"When will the money be given? Do you want a script?" Jiang Bei didn't want to discuss this too much.
Science fiction movies are science fiction movies.
If you lose money, you lose money.
Originally, this money was obtained randomly.
It doesn't hurt at all to give it out.
As long as Li Youqing can finally quit the entertainment industry.
"The boss still has a script?!"
"One-stop service, I just hope everything goes smoothly."
"No problem!" Ji Yingzi excitedly picked up the empty cups on the table, poured two glasses of cold drinks, handed one to Jiang Bei, and said, "Congratulations on our happy cooperation!"
Just like that, Sui Xi watched stupidly as Jiang Bei and Ji Yingzi signed an investment contract in handwriting on the spot...
One hundred million!
It's just gone.
Sui Xi's heart is bleeding.
But Jiangbei doesn't think so.
One hundred million.
It’s time for Li Youqing to quit the entertainment industry.
Super good deal.
Sure enough, some things are only reliable if you have to do it yourself.
After solving the major worry, Jiangbei's depressed mood for the past few days instantly improved. The aroma of food in the air became more and more attractive, and he couldn't help but sit back and eat.
"Mr. Jiang, do you also know what happened between me and my senior sister?"
Sui Xi, who was behind, hesitated for a moment, walked over lightly, sat down opposite, and asked curiously.
You and senior sister?
Jiang Bei was stunned for a moment, then nodded and replied: "I guess you know."
"It seems that Mr. Jiang's investigation is quite thorough."
"You're well prepared!" Jiang Bei didn't deny it. He ate a meatball and said, "Thank you very much for this."
"Mr. Jiang, you're welcome. If it hadn't been for Mr. Jiang's assistance just now, senior sister wouldn't have believed me. But isn't the price a bit high?" Sui Xi replied with a smile.
Although the final outcome was that they successfully cooperated and created an illusion to make the senior sister 'believe' that they wanted to prevent Li Youqing from learning anything, the price was indeed too exaggerated.
As Ji Yingzi's fellow junior sister, she knew very well that if she gave out this 100 million, it would be like nothing.
"High? Not high. As long as the result is satisfactory, I am willing to go bankrupt." Jiang Bei replied as he ate spicy hotpot.
Moreover, it may not be a loss.
People are like this, when they are happy, everything they eat tastes delicious.
"It can be seen that Mr. Jiang loves young children very much." Sui Xi said with sincere envy.
He is the first person in Jiangbei on the Blue Star who can spend 100 million to let his wife learn acting skills.
Perhaps, this is how rich people express their love.
"Didi didi~~"
"Didi didi~~"
At this time, frequent sirens sounded on the road outside the window. Looking down through the window, I found that the cars on the road had started to start, but his car was still parked there, causing the cars behind to honk to show their dissatisfaction.
"It's okay, I hope she won't blame me in the future." Taking out a tissue and wiping his mouth, Jiang Bei stood up and asked the waiter to pay, while saying: "By the way, I hope you can keep this matter a secret for me, don't let her
Know."
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, I understand."
"Then I'll leave first."
"Mr. Jiang, walk slowly."
…
Yangcheng Lake Avenue.
"It seems that Sui Xi misunderstood this time. She really wanted to persuade the student to quit the entertainment industry."
In the car, Ji Yingzi looked at the traffic lights in front of her, the corners of her mouth raised slightly.
"And Li Youqing's husband, who doesn't look like a good guy at first glance, actually colluded with outsiders to harm his wife."
"Scum."
"They must be having an affair. Maybe the man wants to get rid of Li Youqing and be with that bitch Sui Xi."
"Bah! You two are scum."
"But don't blame senior sister for fighting with you again. You want me to destroy her dream and make her quit the entertainment industry. I don't want to! I want to teach her acting, let her shine, and I want to
Let her be the heroine of this movie!"
"I'm so mad at you couple of bitches!"
"Dududu~~!"
"Are you sick? The traffic light has passed three times and you still stopped here?"
"ill?"
Ji Yingzi was stunned for a moment, and then his face gradually became crazy.
