Chapter 182 Investing in Movies

Yan Ning: "I just watched the finished film and it feels very good. Bi Shengli is a man who gets things done. The current film market is really being ruined by the ugly children of capitalists. There are only a handful of truly good films.

Of the big productions released in recent years, at least 98% are bad movies, if not 100%.

Xingchen has invested in five movies in a row, all of which have suffered losses. Although Xingchen does not care about losing this little money because it is backed by Star Shine, making money is always better than losing money.

Now that I have taken the position of producer, I want to do a good job in this position.

I've read too many scripts seeking investment recently, and they're all garbage. The trend of time travel and rebirth has already hit the film industry, and there are no truly good movies to be made anymore.

There are also some scripts tailor-made for the ugly kids of capitalists. These ugly kids directly bring money into the crew and get into all kinds of trouble. Recently, a costume drama starring a second-generation star was just stopped.

Fortunately, the official filming has not yet started, and the money invested is not much, so I can stop the loss in time.

Having seen all that rubbish, Bi Shengli's film can be described as a masterpiece. And compared to those big productions that cost hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars, this film is worth investing in.

But I still need to think about it carefully and go back to the company to apply for investment to see if I can get the 10 million that Bi Shengli needs."

Xizhi: "Sister, can I invest some money? I have a feeling this movie will make money if it's released on Valentine's Day."

I don't know why I have this feeling.

Yan Ning: "If you have a lot of money, you can give it a try, but don't invest too much. Just take out a few hundred thousand and try your luck. Movies are like gambling. Sometimes the reputation and quality are good, but there is no box office.

Sometimes the movie is terrible, but it still does wonders at the box office.

There's still a bit of luck involved in this."

Xizhi nodded. "I think I'm very lucky. Let's invest. I'll invest two million and give Xinxin one million. I'll go back and set up an account for Xinxin. Besides saving for the material dowry, we should also save money."

Yan Ning: "You invest two million, I'll invest two million, and then Xinxin, we'll give her 500,000 each. She's just a kid, there's no need to invest that much. Let's take our time."

Xizhi nodded, "Okay."

After returning from Hong Kong, Xizhi broadcasts live almost every day.

Today she has to rush back to bring goods.

The living room of Huo Yanting Hotel’s private suite became Xizhi’s sales base.

She live-streams some of her products here. Originally, this room was not profitable because it was Huo Yanting's private room, but Xizhi, a money-making maniac who never misses any opportunity to make money, fully utilized the living room of this suite for live-streaming.

The hourly rate for this room is paid by the supplier, which is 50% off the price offered by the hotel, a price that no one can negotiate.

The money went into Xizhi's pocket, and the supplier was also very satisfied, a win-win situation.

When Xizhi smugly told Huo Yanting about this, Boss Huo did not seem unhappy about being used. Instead, he praised her for her business acumen.

Look, this is the difference between people. If Shen Shuchen said this, he would ask her for the money right away and would even complain that her asking price was too low.

Hey!

Xizhi was shocked. Why did he think of that bastard scumbag?

I don’t know if he is having a miserable life now. If he is, that would be good. She can be happier.

So when preparing for the live broadcast, Xizhi opened the Sunshine Community owners' group and saw the lively news in it.

At this time, Aunt Ma had just sent a message.

It was said that Shen Shujun was hooded and handcuffed and taken away by fully armed police.

Xizhi: ...

What's going on?

As soon as Xizhi showed up, the entire Sunshine Community group was in an uproar, with everyone greeting Xizhi.

Then Aunt Ma turned on the voice mode and told Xizhi the big news of the Shen family.

It turned out that Li Qingqing, who had had 140,000 yuan recovered by Chen Shuchen, was unable to repay the online loan and had no other choice but to go to Chen Shuchen's hometown, Sunshine Community, to seek refuge with Old Lady Shen.

Because she had sent the divorce agreement to Xizhi, she knew the address.

On the first day she came to visit, she pretended to be pregnant and immediately won the favor of Old Mrs. Shen. She kept calling "Mom" as soon as she opened her mouth.

She said that Shen Shuchen was seduced by a rich woman and insisted that she have an abortion and break up with her, but she really loved Shen Shuchen and was pregnant with a boy.

Her body was too weak, so she couldn't have an abortion. She cried bitterly and asked Old Lady Shen if she wanted this grandson. If she did, she would stay and give birth to the child for Old Lady Shen, and serve her like a slave.

She wants to live a good life with her brother-in-law, Old Lady Shen and the future child. She doesn't ask Brother Shuchen to come back, but only asks him to come back occasionally to see her and the child. She will be satisfied.

If a normal person's first reaction is that Li Qingqing is a liar.

How can there be such a stupid woman who endures hardship without any consequences and has no status?

But Old Lady Shen is extremely confident in her son. She believes that her son Shuchen is both handsome and capable.

Aren't those women just throwing themselves at him without asking for anything? Isn't that Yan Xizhi? She worked hard in this family for eight years, like a cow or a horse, and finally got kicked out without any luck.

Isn't this young Li Qingqing so madly in love with her son that she is willing to give birth to a son for Shuchen even though she is pregnant, has no legal status, and has no money?

Shuchen is thirty years old now and it's time for him to have a child. He should keep the child by his side and let him find any rich woman or boss he wants. That's his son's ability.

Li Qingqing was immediately allowed to stay there, but there were too few rooms, and the room where Shen Shuchen and Xizhi used to live was already occupied by Shen Shujun.

Ever since the online apology incident, Shen Shujun couldn't live in school anymore.

I take the bus to school every day and come home to live.

But after returning home, he felt very annoyed when he heard Old Lady Shen cursing and the nanny's cold noodles and unpalatable cooking.

But the pocket money Shen Shuchen gave him was pitifully small, and he would only come back for dinner a few days a week.

That day, the nanny pushed Old Lady Shen out to bask in the sun and buy groceries. Shen Shujun didn't want to go to school every day, but if he didn't go to school, his brother wouldn't give him a penny. How could he, who didn't even have a high school diploma, survive?

I can only mix it up every day.

The days are boring, dull and empty.

He returned home from school in a rage and saw the young and beautiful Li Qingqing, who was wearing a maid-like outfit.

The young man, who was in adolescence and full of vigor, was stunned for a moment.

Li Qingqing bought several sets of two-dimensional clothes that sexy young people like online. She wore them so tightly that a large area of ​​her chest was about to come out. She put on a fresh makeup look that showed pure desire.

Wearing shorts that revealed a pair of long white legs, and an apron with dark white lace, she greeted Shen Shujun with a sweet and cloying voice when she saw him coming back.

"Shujun, is that you? I'm your new sister-in-law, Li Qingqing."
