Li Zhentao definitely cannot handle an investment of tens of millions alone. With the participation of Wang Jun and Qin Xianming, the money is not that much. Qin Xianming lost millions in Macau at one time without any serious consequences.
The problem is that Li Zhentao asked Wen Ying to participate in the script writing and invited her to be the screenwriter, which surprised Wen Ying.
"Uncle Li, you may have misunderstood me. I'm learning writing and I'd like to pursue that path in the future, but right now I'm not good enough to create a TV series..."
Screenwriters and writers are not quite the same. Wen Ying is still figuring out how to write, so how can she become a screenwriter?
Of course, Wen Ying has a forward-looking vision and has accumulated experience from her previous life. She has read many original works of film and television literature, and has seen many film and television dramas that became popular later but have not yet been released. If she must be a screenwriter, she can piece together and draw on those works to create a TV drama script that combines all kinds of melodramatic elements. The reputation after it is broadcast is not guaranteed, but the attention it receives should not be too low.
But this is not what Wen Ying wants.
It was not the answer she wanted to give to Li Zhentao.
Li Zhentao wanted to set up a film and television company, and his original intention was for Li Mengjiao.
Wen Ying also wants Li Mengjiao to live a good life and shine in the entertainment industry. She doesn't want to learn from or plagiarize others, nor does she want Li Mengjiao to make her debut in a bad drama!
Li Hanhan deserves better, and so does Wen Ying herself.
Besides money and fame, people always have to pursue something different in life. Wen Ying calls it "the ideal of young people." Without ideals, the blood flowing in the body will not boil, and life will really be less fun. This kind of numbness and boredom is difficult to fill with material things!
Li Zhentao looked at Wen Ying with admiration in his eyes.
How many sixteen-year-old girls can resist the temptation of fame and fortune?
Many adults are unable to have a clear understanding of their own abilities. People always unconsciously exaggerate their abilities and ignore their shortcomings.
But Wen Ying is not like that.
"Silly girl, if I want to find another screenwriter, can't I hire him with money? 100,000 yuan won't impress them, but there will always be someone who will be tempted by 1 million! But they just do things for the money. They don't have to be responsible for Mengjiao. They can't understand the worries and expectations that your aunt and I have for Mengjiao. You have no experience, but you are Mengjiao's good friend. You will consider Mengjiao and know what is good for her. Am I right?"
Li Zhentao's long string of words left Wen Ying with no way to refute. She could only nod and say, "Of course I have to consider Meng Jiao. Isn't that what friends do? When she got the chance, she recommended me to Yuan Producer right away."
"That's enough. Don't worry. I'll ask an experienced screenwriter to assist you. You can learn from the old screenwriter yourself. With your participation, I believe that even if the final script doesn't become a big hit, it will definitely be the best for Mengjiao."
Li Zhentao had said so much, and Wen Ying really couldn't find any reason to refuse.
“…Then I’ll give it a try!”
Otherwise, how could Li Zhentao become a leader? Even though different fields are like different worlds, his level is already there and he is not much different.
Li Zhentao's purpose is very clear, he wants to make money by setting up a film and television company.
To make a good drama, it has to be suitable for Li Mengjiao.
In the final episode, Li Zhentao doesn't care about the roles of other people, but Li Mengjiao cannot suffer any loss. Regardless of her character setting or the proportion of her roles, Li Mengjiao must be the well-deserved "heroine".
Since his family was going to invest money, it would definitely not be okay to let Li Mengjiao serve as a foil to others. Li Zhentao was afraid of being fooled by Yuan Fenghui, so he simply stuffed Wen Ying into the crew and intervened from the source of script creation to protect Li Mengjiao.
Yuan Fenghui will definitely not be wary of Wen Ying.
Li Zhentao trusts Wen Ying.
More importantly, Li Zhentao is not sacrificing Wen Ying's interests to fulfill his daughter's wishes. Wen Ying is inclined to develop in this direction.
Yuan Fenghui asked Wen Ying to write a MV script for 2,000 yuan, and Li Zhentao promised that Wen Ying would never be unfairly paid.
The two talked for a while before Wen Ying went home with the information about Li Mengjiao's hit song.
Chen Ru and Wen Dongrong had already returned home. Wen Ying came back so late that she was inevitably questioned by Chen Ru, asking her where she had been.
"Something about work."
Wen Ying spoke frankly, but Chen Ru didn't take it seriously. "What kind of job do you have? Are you going to the night snack street again? Your crayfish shop can make money, but don't put the cart before the horse. Your father and I don't need you to make money to support the family."
Wen Ying never thought about supporting the family financially by herself.
But sometimes, even though I don’t want to make money anymore, the money still comes to me automatically. What can Wen Ying do?
If Wen Ying completes the job that Li Zhentao arranged for her successfully, the salary she will get will probably be enough to buy a car. Although it is not a luxury car, but... it is better not to tell her parents so that they will have motivation to continue attending English cram school.
