Seeing that the girl was genuinely wanting him to have dinner with her, Qin Zongye readily agreed. He also wanted to spend more time with her. Perhaps he could get some good ideas.

The competition between him and his elder brother was now on par, and he had to find every way to make himself stand out. In Nangang, a materialistic society, money often meant dignity, and the more money one had, the more respect one received.

He now often relies on the name of the Qin family, that is, his father's power. He hopes that one day people will look at Qin Zongye's Qin family instead of his father's Qin family. Only then will he be considered successful.

So he must get the inheritance rights of the Qin family, and he wants to make the Qin family reach a higher level in his hands.

There were guests at home, and the food prepared before was not enough, so Ye Shuning planned to add a few more dishes. Fortunately, she had all the ingredients at home.

Ye Shuning is preparing sweet and sour hairtail, baked scallops with cheese and cream, braised prawns, and steamed pork ribs with rice flour. For the vegetarian dish, she'll make a mushroom and rapeseed dish, a baby cabbage with vermicelli and garlic sauce, and finally a clam and tofu soup.

Qin Zongye sat in the living room playing with Li Jingyu. When he smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen, he knew that the little girl must be a good cook.

Qin Zongye suddenly saw some finished drawings and some drawing tools on a cabinet in the living room. It seemed that they were drawn by Ye Shuning. However, the drawings were all of small animals, as if they were from children's stories.

The food was served and Ye Shuning asked the two of them to eat.

Qin Zongye led Li Jingyu to the table and felt a little embarrassed when he saw that Ye Shuning had cooked so many dishes. "I made so many dishes and I'm sorry for costing you so much money."

Ye Shuning smiled and said, "We need to eat too. You've helped me so much, I've wanted to treat you to a meal for a long time. Please don't be polite. Come sit down and try my cooking."

Ye Shuning served everyone a bowl of white rice and everyone sat down to eat.

Qin Zongye saw that the food on the table looked good and tasted really good. He didn't expect that the girl's cooking skills were so good.

In the words of the older generation, she is a good wife who can both work in the parlor and in the kitchen.

Ye Shuning used the serving chopsticks to pick up some dishes for Qin Zongye. "Mr. Qin, please enjoy the dishes. Don't be shy. I don't know if these dishes suit your taste."

Qin Zongye smiled and said, "These dishes are delicious. Your cooking skills are really good."

Qin Zongye could tell from the little girl's cooking skills that she must come from a wealthy family, otherwise how could she cook these dishes? It was estimated that many people had never even eaten them.

However, he was not very familiar with the girl yet, so it was not appropriate for him to ask about her family background rashly.

Qin Zongye ate a lot during this meal. Every dish was delicious. Most importantly, he felt at home while eating these dishes. This was the biggest difference between this and the food prepared by chefs in restaurants.

After dinner, Ye Shuning made a pot of tea and sat in the living room to chat with Qin Zongye.

Qin Zongye said, "Shu Ning, I just happened to see some drawings of small animals. Are you drawing them for children?"

Ye Shuning didn't hide her plans. "I'm planning to draw a comic book for children. I want to submit it once I'm done. I've noticed a lack of children's books in Nangang, and there aren't many cartoons for children on TV. I think there's a lot of market potential in this area."

Qin Zongye's eyes lit up when he heard Ye Shuning's words. "I've never really understood the children's book market you mentioned. Speaking of cartoons, there are indeed very few nowadays.

But the film industry in Nangang is booming right now. I own a film company myself. It's owned by a friend of mine, whose business failed and he needed money urgently, so I bought it. I also made a movie a while ago, but it wasn't very well received.

Ye Shuning was moved when Qin Zongye said he had a film company. Nangang's film and television entertainment industry was developing rapidly.

The film industry is known as a smokeless industry, and its increasingly huge output value cannot be ignored.

Nangang, a tiny place, has gathered a large number of outstanding talents in the film industry. After the accumulation and development in the 1950s and 1960s, batches of filmmakers have devoted themselves to this industry.

In the 1970s, the film industry finally exploded. Even with the impact of the television industry, the charm of movies was enormous. A classic line or a classic scene would be unforgettable for a long time and even passed down.

Nangang produces a large number of excellent films every year, and the box office revenue is higher year by year. This is an industry that makes money quickly.

The more Ye Shuning thought about it, the more excited she became.

She couldn't help but ask, "Is Mr. Qin's film company mainly engaged in making movies?"

Qin Zongye nodded and said, "Now, besides filming, we also rent out studios, equipment, costumes, and film development. We can't let the resources of the film company go to waste.

Everyone says that it is easier to make money by making movies now, so many people invest in and start film companies. After I entered this industry, I realized that it is not that easy.

A profitable film requires a good director, box-office-appealing stars, and an engaging script. However, these resources are monopolized by large companies, making it difficult for those who just entered the industry without a solid foundation to develop. Even I only gained some resources because of the Qin family's influence.

Ye Shuning nodded and asked, "So where do you get your scripts from?"

Qin Zongye said: "Buy it from some screenwriters or novelists. The screenwriter of a movie is very important."

Qin Zongye saw that the little girl seemed very interested in the film industry, so he began to explain to her, "There are several types of screenwriters in Nangang. One type is screenwriters who belong to TV stations, that is, TV station employees. They receive a monthly salary and complete a certain amount of work. Usually, their income is relatively fixed. The other type is freelance TV drama screenwriters. This type is more free. I won't say more.

Another type of screenwriter is one who only writes film scripts. Most screenplays are written by one person. However, well-known screenwriters often sign contracts with film companies, and if they do a good job, they may even receive a commission. Therefore, most high-performing screenwriters are controlled by large companies.

There is another type of film screenwriter, the kind who submits his works everywhere. If no one appreciates his works, he will most likely end up in poverty, having difficulty making ends meet, and be miserable.

Martial arts action films are popular in Nangang right now, but finding a good script is not easy.”

Qin Zongye also often struggled with finding a good script. After all, the film company employees had to be paid, and they couldn't be idle. He had to try his best to find good scripts, which was also to make money.

His elder brother also opened a film company, which was doing very well. He had already made two or three good films and had a good income. He was unwilling to fall behind.

Maybe he can find a better way to make money in the future, but for now he can only develop in a few industries that he is more familiar with.
