Chapter 78 How many sisters do you have
Qin Lan's original idea was to take 3 million yuan and Meng Bai take 2 million yuan, and then invest together. This not only dispersed the risk, but also solved the problem of insufficient funds.
More importantly, this kind of "interest-binding" cooperation made her feel that there was some "special" connection between her and Meng Bai.
The only thing she didn't expect was that this guy didn't even have 2 million yuan.
"How about I lend you 1 million?" Qin Lan asked softly.
Meng Bai was speechless: "You lend me money, and then I will invest in you together. Don't you think this process sounds a bit strange?"
Qin Lan thought about it and felt it was indeed strange.
After thinking for a few seconds, Meng Bai asked: "Are you really only investing 3 million? Don't consider me, just look at your actual situation."
"It's really only this much, and the remaining money has other uses."
Meng Bai said: "How long will this B round of financing take?"
"It will take two or three months. It will take a long time to complete all the cross-equity procedures alone." Qin Lan said.
"Then don't worry, let me think about it and see if I can find a way to get two million."
-
Meng Bai stayed in Jingbei for more than a week, and only returned to the Blue Island "Psychological Crime" crew until several things were almost arranged.
Qin Lan also came with him. According to the shooting schedule, the plot of the "Seventh Reader" case happened to be filmed recently, and they could take advantage of the fact that all other supporting actors are in place in the next few days to concentrate on filming the scenes that require her.
"Hello, screenwriter brother."
In the lounge of the campus dormitory building, Zhao Jinmai, who was wearing a blue and white school uniform and a ponytail, greeted Meng Bai politely.
"Hello, Mai Mai, see you again." Meng Bai leaned over and greeted the little girl.
Qin Lan, who was standing by, looked at the beautiful little girl with big eyes in front of her, and immediately felt love for her. She said with a warm smile, "Hello, Mai Mai."
Meng Bai interrupted and said, "Mai Mai, this Auntie Qin Lan is your 'mother' in the plot. You can get to know her better."
Zhao Jinmai blinked, but she didn't fall for Meng Bai's trick. She called out shyly, "Hello, Sister Qin Lan."
"Haha, there's nothing wrong with calling me aunt. Your mother and I should be about the same age." Qin Lan smiled with her hands covering her mouth, and at the same time, she didn't forget to glare at Meng Bai.
"Liao Yafan", played by Zhao Jinmai, is the daughter of "Sun Mei". It was because she saw the confession letter her mother wrote to "Brother Wu Han" and secretly took it out that a series of tragic murders followed.
It is also a coincidence that Qin Lan and Zhao Jinmai, the "mother and daughter" in the play, are both from Shenyang in reality, and they live in two adjacent urban areas.
Perhaps it was for this reason that Qin Lan was particularly fond of Zhao Jinmai, and pulled her and Zhao's mother together to chat enthusiastically on the side of the set.
"How many good sisters do you have? Why are all of them so haggard..."
Li Yitong hummed a crooked melody and slowly floated past Meng Bai.
"If you could have a little tune, you wouldn't have no tune at all." Meng Bai said, "You even changed other people's lyrics. What kind of shit are you singing?"
"Hehe, you should know better than me what I'm singing." Li Yitong glanced at Meng Bai with a half-smile on her face.
Ever since Qin Lan and Meng Bai came together, although the two have always communicated normally, she always felt that something was wrong between the two.
There is no evidence, this is a unique "woman's intuition".
"There is no such thing as a 'sister' or 'sister'." Meng Bai said confidently: "We are just 'partners' with a close relationship."
Li Yitong: →_→
Meng Bai smiled faintly and wisely changed the subject: "How is the recent filming? Are you still being scolded every day?"
Although she had attended a three-month training course and had a basic understanding of acting and filming, Li Yitong was still NGing like crazy in the first few days of filming. Wu Bai
was quite patient at the beginning, after all, this was the heroine he had chosen. But after many times, he couldn't help but frown and criticize seriously.
Fortunately, Li Yitong neither tried to excuse herself nor refuted strongly because of Meng Bai's relationship. She just silently wrote down the director's requirements, and then went back to her room at night to take out these key points one by one to rethink and practice.
"It's not as exaggerated as you say. The director has been pointing out problems all the time." Li Yitong said, "I feel that I have made great progress recently compared to the beginning. I have also gradually begun to understand the knowledge that the teacher taught in class before. It seems that I have grasped the essence of acting."
"Wow, congratulations, Boss Li!" Meng Bai clapped his hands exaggeratedly and said, "You have now successfully reached the level of the first semester of the first year of the acting department."
"..." Li Yitong rolled her eyes. Sure enough, this guy always asks for a beating. She was actually looking forward to it just now.
Meng Bai smiled and said seriously again, "In fact, Director Wu mentioned to me that your recent performance is indeed much better than before. Among the newcomers, you are the one who has made the most progress." Starting from the lowest point, it is natural that you will make the most progress.
"Really?" Li Yitong looked at Meng Bai suspiciously, and seeing his sincere encouragement, she believed his words.
Humph, this guy is still quite warm sometimes.
"By the way, I have something to ask you." Meng Bai said, "Do you have money?"
Li Yitong blinked, took out a delicate small wallet from the small bag beside her, opened it and flipped through it, then handed him three red bills and said, "There are still three hundred."
"...I'm not talking about change." Meng Bai took a deep breath, "I'm talking about savings, bank cards, etc."
"There are still two or three thousand yuan, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, just pretend I didn't ask." Meng Bai said, "I remember when you signed the contract with the crew, half of the salary was transferred to you, how come there is only this little left?"
"Please, Mr. Meng, do you remember that I was a boss who failed in entrepreneurship? The money I lost was borrowed from my parents. Although they said that this money was given to me, I am making money from filming now, so I have to pay them some money to prove that I have income now." Li Yitong said.
Although Li Yitong studied dance, her family is an ordinary working-class family. After graduation, she said she wanted to start a teahouse, so her parents "borrowed" her a sum of money as start-up capital.
Unfortunately, college students who start their own businesses often fail more than they succeed. After the teahouse closed, apart from the hardware such as tables, chairs and benches, she lost about 80,000 to 90,000 yuan.
Originally, she planned to find a training class and become a dance teacher. After working for three or four years, she should be able to pay it back.
Unexpectedly, Meng Bai single-handedly pulled her into the path of an actor.
As a complete newcomer, Li Yitong's total salary for her first drama was 50,000 yuan, which was paid twice before the start of filming and after the filming was completed.
The income from one drama made up for most of the losses. She only felt that the pressure was reduced. The first thing she did after receiving the salary was to transfer 20,000 yuan to her parents.
At first, Li's father and mother were frightened by this sudden sum of money, thinking that their daughter had done some "bad" job outside. After hearing that she was an actor, they were worried that she would be bullied because of the various entertainment news they saw on a daily basis.
Li Yitong explained to them that she had taken refuge with a very good friend, and the care of the friend gave her, a newcomer, a chance.
Then the old couple began to worry again, whether this friend was a man or a woman, what the relationship was like, what the conditions were, and whether they could take her home to see.
"It's a friend, a friend! Not a boyfriend!" Li Yitong tried to "clarify" the relationship between the two while on the phone.
Father Li didn't say anything, but just hummed like a toothache. Mother Li was still interested and asked about Meng Bai's situation until her daughter had no choice but to hang up the phone.
Thinking of this, Li Yitong couldn't help but glare at Meng Bai again - who would want such a scumbag as a boyfriend!
Meng Bai didn't notice that he was "despised" again. He had been thinking about LeTV Pictures' financing these days.
The money must be invested. After all, it is indeed a good opportunity. The key is how to get the investment share.
He asked Liu Jun about it. According to the current progress, this round of financing will end in September.
According to this deadline, he will definitely not be able to wait for the profit share of "Psychological Crime". So he thought, why not just do another layer of "nesting dolls" to see if there are any suitable friends among his acquaintances.
It happened that he met Li Yitong today, so he thought about asking her, but unfortunately he forgot that this girl is now a "poor little woman".
Who else is suitable?
