The voice on the other end of the phone was somewhat excited. It was hard for Ye Wan to imagine that the mother that Su Qingyan described as someone who was like a hermit who was neither sad nor happy and rarely showed her emotions would show such a cheerful side.
Half an hour later, Ye Wan met Su Jingqiu and Su Qingyan, mother and daughter, in a coffee shop near his home.
"Xiao Wan, I'm talking about him."
As soon as they met, Su Jingqiu handed over the phone.
On the screen was a profile of a director named Tan Zongyan.
Seeing the photo, Ye Wan's eyes lit up, "The film 'Deep Sea Obsession' that was nominated for the Cannes Film Festival two years ago was shot by him."
"You know him?"
Su Jingqiu became even more excited, "It's him."
After the words were spoken, the two fell silent at the same time.
It should be a cause for celebration that "Deep Sea Obsession" was nominated for an international film festival.
However, because of the subject matter of the film, it caused controversy in the country for a long time.
It just so happened that during that period, Tan Zongyan's marriage was going through a crisis, and negative rumors dominated the entertainment pages for several days, causing his good impression among the general public to plummet.
It can be said that the movie was a turning point in Tan Zongyan’s life.
Before, he was a famous director respected by investors and a guarantee of box office success.
After that, not only did investors avoid him, they wouldn't even consider him for good scripts.
A famous director just fell into silence.
Su Jingqiu almost forgot that there was such a person as Tan Zongyan in the entertainment industry.
It was not until the script of "Twin Flowers" was circulated that Tan Zongyan recommended himself.
"I have already contacted him, and Director Tan said that he will not take a penny from this film."
Su Jingqiu said in a deep voice: "He said that he would do his utmost to make this film well, just to wash away the negative criticisms about him."
As a director, there are very few who make movies just for the money.
Most of them do it because of love.
"I've got a director and a leading actress. The part I was most worried about has been solved. Now, the only thing left is the money."
Su Jingqiu looked at Ye Wan, "We have saved a lot of money by not hiring big-name stars for this movie. I calculated that, not counting the post-promotion and distribution, the total cost can be controlled within 20 million. I have more than 10 million in my hand, and once I sell the villa in the western suburbs, there will be no problem at all. So..."
Grabbing Ye Wan and Su Qingyan's hands, Su Jingqiu smiled gently, "My heroines, are you ready?"
"I'm sure there will be no problem, sister."
Su Qingyan straightened her back proudly, "I have no problem either."
Facing the smiling Ye Wan, Su Jingqiu nodded, "It's settled then. I'll contact the agent when I get home today..."
"Aunt Qiu..."
Ye Wanhui held Su Jingqiu's hand and said, "There's no rush to sell the house. I still have some money."
Su Jingqiu disagreed, "Xiao Wan, I appreciate your kindness. But Aunt Qiu doesn't want you to take this risk."
If she loses, the worst that can happen is that she loses a villa.
Just make a comeback later.
Who made her insist on having her own way and not fighting for the steamed buns but for her dignity? But she couldn't let Ye Wan take this risk with her.
Especially when she learned that Ye Wan was the only one left in the Ye family, she not only had to support herself, but also had to support her younger brother.
Ye Wan smiled and said, "Let me be the producer for once. What if our movie becomes a big hit?"
Investing and dividends have completely different results.
Su Jingqiu hesitated for a moment, "Well, let's think about it carefully."
"good."
Ye Wan agreed immediately.
As night fell, Ye Wan exited the live broadcast room and logged into his bank account.
