Chapter 30: The First Investment
Reversed Life.
Song Qinghuan remembered that this movie was a comedy, which had unexpectedly smashed recent box office records of comedies with low production budget in her last life.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Not only the actors but also the director and scriptwriter became well-known and their social status surged because of this movie.
But who was the producer of this movie in her last life? Song Qinghuan couldn’t remember at the moment.
She didn’t expect at all that such an opportunity would find her, only because she went to meet Song Lan.
She blankly blinked and her fingers couldn’t help turning the pages of the script. When reading the name of the hero and a part of plot, she was sure that this was the dark horse in the movie circle in her last life.
“Excuse me,” that gentle woman standing in front of Song Qinghuan said in an uneasy voice, “did I hit you?”
“Em?” Song Qinghuan closed the script and shook her head toward the woman, “No.”
Song Qinghuan gazed at the two persons’ faces and she recognized that these two were the couple who would become really famous in the future.
The man was Xu Hao, a director and the woman Qu Wenyou, a scriptwriter.
She still remembered a video about an award ceremony. In that video, when the reporter interviewed this emerging famous director, in front the camera, Xu Hao, hearing a lot of praise, uncommonly made a self-mockery about the tough time when he and his wife made this movie. They almost failed because of lack of investment.
So, at present, according to their unfavorable situation, Song Qinghuan deduced that they must have been to Kaiyue Company with this script. But they had been rejected and treated unfairly.
Song Qinghuan gave back the script to Qu Wenyou and said with pretended curiosity, ” Ms. Qu, is it the movie you are preparing for?”
“Em?” Qu Wenyou was at a loss for a moment. Song Qinghuan smiled bashfully and said, “I’m a fan of your book, and have read the content of this script unintentionally.”
Saying that, Song Qinghuan blinked her bright eyes and gave an innocent smile, “the name of this movie is interesting.”
Qu Wenyou was a writer and she had spent the whole year finishing this script after she turned into a scriptwriter. Now she came across her fan, which made her more embarrassed.
Xu Hao sitting beside just thought that this girl wanted to act in this movie. He said self-mockingly, “we don’t have money so this program can’t be started.”
“So it is,” Song Qinghuan nodded and stared at Qu Wenyou with her smiling eyes, “how much do you need? If you don’t mind, I can make the investment.”
Xu Hao and Qu Wenyou looked at this smiling girl in disbelief almost at the same time.
“You, you said, you want to make the investment?” Xu Hao stood up.
Song Qinghuan nodded, still with a smile, “yes. Because I am the fan of Ms. Qu, I believe what she made must be the best.” Then, she took out the bank card from her wallet, “is 5 million enough?”
“Please wait!” Qu Wenyou stopped her by holding her wrist. Now in the eyes of this couple, Song Qinghuan was a girl who had a lot of money but didn’t have much wisdom.
“Don’t you worry that we are cheaters?” Xu Hao asked.
Song Qinghuan blinked innocently, and smiled, ” we can sign a contract.”
Xu Hao and Qu Wenyou stopped being gloomy and mournful and started smiling. This couple didn’t expect that when there was almost no way out, they could encounter their lucky star here.
“This is a low-budget film. My wife and I have invested 1 million and the total budget is 5 million.” Because they devoted all their life to this script, they regarded it as their own child. In the past, some people had favored this script but they either required to change the director to promote their own actors, or asked to change the name of the scriptwriter or add another person as the scriptwriter.
Both Xu and Qu didn’t agree, so their script was rejected many times. When they went to Kaiyue Company, the person in charge of script even made an excessive request: he wanted to make an erotic deal with Qu Wenyou. Xu Hao couldn’t help beating that guy. Then they were driven out by guards as garbage.
After making sure that this girl wasn’t a lunatic or cheater, the two sides began to talk about some details. At first, Xu Hao believed this rich and pretty girl wanted to be the heroine relying on her investment.
But Song Qinghuan directly expressed that she just invested money and didn’t involve in anything in the film shooting. All rights belonged to this couple.
No time like the present. Because in the following days Song Qinghuan would be busy, they directly went to a law office. After drawing up a contract, the two sides signed the contract under the witness of the lawyer. Then Song Qinghuan directly transferred 4 million to Xu’s and Qu’s bank account.
Going out of the law office, this couple just felt the black could above their head was gone and that they saw the sun again.
For the appreciation of the couple, Song Qinghuan also thanked them for letting her participate in the production of the movie. When they departed, Qu Wenyou invited Song to visit the movie set when she had time.
Song Qinghuan accepted the invitation and called a taxi for this couple.
When her waving hand had hardly been put down, a black commercial vehicle slowly moved over and stopped just in front of Song Qinghuan.
When the car window was rolled down, she saw the handsome face of Xu Ningzhou.
When Xu saw the law office behind Song, he knitted his brows and opened the door to get off the car. He asked Song Qinghuan, “did the stupid guy Li Kairui trouble you again?”
Song Qinghuan raised her eyebrows with a little interest and she glanced at his knitted brows. After Xu Ningzhou helped her in Xinghan last time, they hadn’t seen each other for a half month. Song suspected if Xu Ningzhou installed the tracer on her, because she, as a person who had experienced death once, didn’t believe that they could meet by chance in this large Wanning City, which could just happen in the idol drama.
“How do you know I’m here?” Song Qinghuan didn’t answer Xu’s question. Instead, she cautiously stepped back to lengthen the distance between them.
Xu Ningzhou stared blankly, and then laughed in a low voice at Song Qinghuan’s petty movement. His voice was so deep and pleasing, just like warm wind, that it made the ears numb.
Song Qinghuan was a little worried. This childe turned into a fool after the electric shock?
