Chapter 376 Starting a Business with the One You Love
What Bai Qiujing said in the interview caused a lot of heated discussion online.
Those netizens who had insulted Shen Zhichu began to reflect on whether they had done something wrong. They thought that the harm was insignificant, but if everyone gave a little, how much pain would that person have to endure?
No one knows, and no one cares.
After watching Bai Qiujing's interview, netizens who were once fans of Shen Zhichu felt as if there was a ball of cotton stuck in their throats, unable to move up or down, and the breath was stuck in their chests, making them feel anxious.
Yes, they clearly knew Shen Zhichu earlier than the rumors, and watched her debut, act, and grow up. How could they choose to leave her just because of a few words from others?
There was no basic evidence for those negative news, no videos or recordings. Shen Zhichu only posted a short text on Weibo and then disappeared. They thought that Shen Zhichu was cowardly, or that he had done something wrong and felt guilty so he didn't dare to apologize in front of others and mention these negative news.
But what if... she can't speak?
Looking at it from another angle, according to Shen Zhichu's "black material", she has offended many people and made countless enemies, but she has not produced any black material that can be used to prove her in court, which means that she herself has no problems.
At this moment, everyone who thought of this was struck by lightning and shuddered. They had denounced Shen Zhichu under the guise of justice, calling her a bitch and a shrew, asking her to get out of the entertainment industry and die.
If she was innocent from the beginning, then what is the difference between them and murderers?
The long-forgotten fan club posted a message on Wechat.
——Chen Zhichu We have been waiting for your explanation and for you to come back.
When Shen Zhichu saw this text, his face showed no expression and his heart was not touched at all.
Because the person you have been waiting for is no longer there.
If these people had shown a little more mercy, Shen Qing wouldn't have suffered from depression, wouldn't have committed suicide alone at home by taking sleeping pills and turning on the gas. And they still wanted her to explain? She could explain, but would those who hurt her go to hell to hear it?
Bai Qiujing waited all night but received no text messages or phone calls from Shen Zhichu. He couldn't help but wonder if Shen Zhichu had forgotten to watch his interview last night?
If she hadn't seen it, should he repeat to her what he said in the interview?
But it seems too embarrassing to say this in front of her?
Bai Qiujing was troubled for the whole morning, and when he looked at the time, it was almost noon, and the text message had not been sent yet.
I typed and deleted, deleted and lost again, back and forth, why is love so torturous?
Bai Qiujing mumbled a few words and decided to test Shen Zhichu’s thoughts first.
A Bai Qiujing: "Have you seen the trending searches?"
Bai Qiujing's interview became a hot topic because it talked about relationships, which netizens are concerned about. It is still on the hot search list. If Shen Zhichu clicked on wb, he should have seen it.
Shen Zhichu might not be free at the moment and hadn't sent a text message. Bai Qiujing just stared at the time and waited. Ten minutes later, he received a reply from Shen Zhichu.
Shen Zhichu: “I saw it, the interview was very interesting.”
A Bai Qiujing: "So what do you think?"
Shen Zhichu doesn't like to beat around the bush when he speaks, and everyone understands why he doesn't speak openly.
"I think the same thing as you. You're right that a relationship is meaningful only when both parties are committed to it, but that's not my goal at the moment."
Bai Qiujing was not too disappointed when he saw this. It could be said that this was completely within his expectations. Shen Zhichu was in the career stage now and would not be in such a hurry to fall in love.
And he didn't want to force her, he just wanted to ask her thoughts on love.
It was his first time pursuing someone, and he didn't know how to do it. He was very careful in everything he did for fear of scaring her.
Shen Zhichu said that her thoughts were the same as his, which made him feel very surprised. As long as he was willing to get close to her and not hide or run away, then one day he would be by her side.
"Are you afraid of marriage?" Bai Qiujing asked.
This really hits the nail on the head. Shen Zhichu is indeed afraid of marriage, and she still doesn't know what marriage can bring her.
It seemed like she could live better alone, as long as she had money.
After thinking about it, Chen Zhichu replied the other party honestly: "If you meet the right person, there is nothing wrong with living together." But the prerequisite is that the person must meet her expectations. Her requirements are not high, but they just screen out most of the men.
Shen Zhichu did not dwell too much on "emotional issues" with Bai Qiujing because it was too early for them to discuss it.
Shen Zhichu changed the subject and talked to Bai Qiujing about how she bought shares in a film and television company last night and directly invested 10 million.
She sent the information over, and Bai Qiujing was stunned when he saw it.
"Isn't this film and television company about to go bankrupt? You'll invest 10 million and not even see any money go to waste."
"How do you say that?"
While laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the details. Chen Zhichu is good at doing business, but he is somewhat lacking in investing in film and television. Bai Qiujing analyzed the pros and cons.
The company invested by Shen Zhichu is a team that specializes in skits. They fell into a pit just after entering the film and television industry in recent years. Three comedy movies they released were ridiculed by the public. The jokes in the movies were very awkward and the shooting level was poor. It would have been better for them to go back to performing skits. Now, the losses are so great that they are about to sell the company.
When Bai Qiujing talked about movies with Shen Zhichu, he was full of energy and vigor. Just by listening to his energetic voice, Shen Zhichu could imagine that his eyes must be bright and cunning yet serious and focused at this moment.
Bai Qiujing was indeed born to do this job, and the questions he raised were very insightful.
As he spoke, Bai Qiujing also glanced at the stock that Shen Zhichu had invested in. He had already lost tens of thousands in just one day.
"You'd better take the money back to avoid a huge loss."
"This team is really not suitable for comedy."
Bai Qiujing thought she had heard it, but Shen Zhichu's next sentence left him speechless.
"Let them make a horror movie." Now she is the financial backer. If she withdraws the money, the company will be finished. She thinks that if she asks them to make a horror movie now, they will probably not refuse.
From comedy to horror, that's a pretty big jump.
Shen Zhichu analyzed, "I've watched the three films they've made, and just like you said, they're not suitable for comedies. The lighting is too dark, giving people a dark and eerie feeling. I've read the reviews online, and the most common comment is that a good comedy was forced to be made into a horror film. Judging from the comments on Dianping, it seems I'm not the only one who thinks they're more suitable for horror films. If they can make comedies this weird, how good will they be in horror films?"
Shen Zhichu's comments are irrefutable.
“But horror films don’t do well in the domestic market.”
"I've analyzed it and there are two main reasons. One is that there's no team suitable for filming horror elements, and the other is that the script is not good. I found a script these days and I'll send it to you."
Bai Qiujing didn't expect that Shen Zhichu had prepared everything. Soon he received the file in his computer mailbox. He quickly took a look at the characters and the general story line of the script and his eyes lit up.
The script is called "Who is the Ghost". The story is humorous and interesting in the beginning, weird in the middle and sad at the end. It is a good script.
Bai Qiujing closed his eyes and recalled the entire shooting style. It's no wonder that the bankrupt film and television company invested by Shen Zhichu was really suitable for this style of shooting.
The main characters of the script revolve around a couple.
"This script is good, but who are you going to invite to play the role?" This is a big problem. Horror movies test the actor's endurance and imagination. They also have to keep their expressions from collapsing at all times to bring the audience into the film.
There are many excellent scripts in China, but all the money is spent on traffic and publicity.
Now we have a good script and a team, all we need is the actors. Bai Qiujing was thinking about this when his cell phone suddenly rang.
He looked at the caller ID and suddenly felt that what he was holding in his hand was not a phone but fire.
He quickly picked up the phone and heard Shen Zhichu's soft voice coming from the phone.
"Big Movie Emperor, can you please co-star with me in this horror film about a human and a ghost?"
Bai Qiujing almost bit his tongue when he opened his mouth: "You mean we should act in this movie together?"
"Don't worry, I will pay you the salary. You have the right to refuse now."
"No, I don't refuse." Bai Qiujing stammered incoherently, trying hard to suppress the upward curve of his lips. He asked stickily, "I want to ask, why did you want me to star in this movie with you?"
"Didn't you hint to me in yesterday's interview that we would collaborate and appear on the same screen?"
Bai Qiujing's ears kept moving with laughter, and the corners of his eyes were stained with a delicate pink: "Yes... yes."
"Then let's use the simplest and quickest way to achieve this small goal first."
Shen Zhichu's voice was very pleasant, like beautiful violin music slowly entering his ears and then turning into an electric current that flowed through his blood throughout his body, making his body almost numb.
He didn't expect that Shen Zhichu had achieved this goal first, which caught him off guard and surprised him.
Bai Qiujing's ultimate goal of appearing on the same screen is to marry Shen Zhichu.
He would give her a grand wedding, he would wear a suit and she would wear a wedding dress, and the image of the two of them appearing on the screen would be broadcast to the whole world.
Bai Qiujing was distracted: "You don't need to pay me. I invested in this movie we starred in. Just think of it as me bringing in money."
The two hit it off immediately. Shen Zhichu was about to start filming "Changmen Hate" and didn't have extra time to deal with this matter, so he handed it over to Bai Qiujing. It just so happened that Bai Qiujing had no schedule recently and was free at home.
Bai Qiujing called his agent Zhang Chao and told him to go to the studio to discuss with him about a movie he wanted to take on.
Zhang Chao instantly became energized when he heard that he was going to work. He arrived in fifteen minutes instead of half an hour's drive.
