Chapter 312: Subordinates are also smart

After the meal, everyone was drunk.

Director Hu was especially drunk, and he was so drunk that he was staggering as he walked. If someone hadn't held him up, he would have come into close contact with the ground.

Huang Xinran originally wanted to discuss business with the other party, but seeing the current situation, he simply moved to another place, ordered some tea, and then sat down to sober up while preparing to discuss business.

Director Hu is obviously a veteran in this area and is very adept at it.

After drinking two pots of strong tea, the alcohol smell was almost gone, and he brought up what he had said before, "You said before that you wanted to invest in a movie. Is that true?"

"The truth."

Huang Xinran nodded seriously, "It's true that I want to make a movie, it's true that I want to invest, and it's also true that I won't make it until I see a good script."

She is the kind of person who won't act until she sees the rabbit. Without a good script, she dare not throw away the resources she has accumulated with great difficulty.

Director Hu nodded to show that he understood.

"I happen to have a few scripts in hand, all of which are pretty good, but I don't know what type you want? Do you have any specific requirements? Or, what do you want to shoot according to? Do you have a default candidate or something?"

Nowadays, don't people with a little money like to invest in their own movies?

Making a cameo appearance is no big deal, and some people even ask to be the heroine or the hero, etc.

Of course, considering that the other party was the one paying, he didn't mind giving her a small role or two. If Huang Xinran really asked for the leading female role or the leading male role, he would definitely not agree.

"I want to take a look at the script first and then pick one. To be honest, I haven't decided what kind of content I want to shoot yet. I'll get back to you after I read it."

"Okay, I'll go back and sort it out, and then I'll have someone send it to you later."

Director Hu finally decided.

"no problem."

Huang happily agreed, thought for a moment, and then asked another off-topic question: "I heard that there are many new themes and new beats coming out in Hong Kong and Hai City, and they are all very popular..."

"That's probably going to be difficult."

Director Hu shook his head and sighed, implying, "You also know the situation in our mainland. It can't be compared with Hong Kong and Haishi. The themes that can be filmed there may not be approved here. If it doesn't pass, you will spend a lot of effort to shoot it, but in the end it will just be stored in the warehouse and gather dust, which will hurt people and money. Why bother?"

"All right."

Huang Xinran also knew that this was the truth, but she did try to say a few words and could only give up helplessly.

Forget it, let's wait until the other party reads the script.

By the time the two groups separated, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

Lao Yu and his two subordinates were already drunk and were snoring loudly in their sleep. Now that the party was over, the four of them returned to their residence with the help of the waiter.

Huang Xinran did not say anything more to them, but just waved and let them go to rest: "Thank you for tonight. Don't worry, I will not forget your kindness in the future."

"No, no, it's my honor."

The other three went downstairs, and Huang Xinran withdrew his gaze and returned to his room.

In fact, when she and Director Hu had a detailed discussion, the three men pretended to be drunk and asleep, but they were actually sober. She knew that Lao Yu was a shrewd man, but she didn't expect that the men he brought with him were also shrewd men. He really was worthy of being a businessman.

"Ms. Huang!"

Just as she was about to enter the room, the hotel attendant stopped her and said, "When you didn't come back just now, there was a phone call from the front desk. We said you were not in the room and asked the other party to leave a contact number, but the other party said to call back later. No message was left."

"oh?"

Huang Xinran turned around and asked, "Can I ask what the incoming call number is?"

"Wait, let me check."

As soon as Huang Xinran saw the incoming call number, he was sure that the person who called was Lu Yunchen. He called back. Lu Yunchen was obviously still awake. He answered the phone almost immediately after the phone rang.

"Hello, Yun Chen? Is that you?"

"...You're back at the guesthouse just now?" The other party seemed to be a little far away from the microphone. His voice was very vague and light, and he seemed to be still smoking.

"Yes, tonight I went to meet a director named Hu with Lao Yu and two of my subordinates. As you know, I want to invest in movies."

As if she had noticed that his condition was a little strange, Huang Xinran spoke with an unconscious gentleness in his voice.

"What did he say?"

"He didn't say anything, he just asked me how much I could invest, and I asked him for the script. He also said that he had to read the script before he could make a decision. I guess he will send the script to me in the next few days. I can only finalize it after I read it..."

Huang Xinran chatted with the other party in a random manner.

For some reason, she felt that Lu Yunchen was not very talkative today.

Even the words contain suppressed emotions.

"What's wrong with you today? I feel like you're worried about something."

"What can I be worried about? I just feel weird not seeing you when I get home. Ranran, you... you've become so busy now. I feel like we haven't had a good chat together for a long time."

"No way, didn't we talk before I left..."

Huang Xin suddenly understood what Lu Yunchen meant and remained silent for a moment.

Lu Yunchen was also silent.

There was only the sound of heavy breathing from both ends of the phone.

"Yun Chen, are you worried about me?"

Finally, it was Huang Xinran who broke the silence: "I used tea instead of wine throughout the whole process, and the tea was just the first cup. Lao Yu and two subordinates were present during the whole discussion. And we had dinner in a place like Dexuan Building, which is open and aboveboard. I..."

"Of course, I believe you. I'm just worried about you. After all, it's already very late. It's not safe for a girl to be outside too late."

Lu Yunchen sighed: "Next time, I'll accompany you on your business trip next time."

"good."

Huang Xinran didn't say anything to spoil the fun, and also expressed concern for the other party for a few words before hanging up the phone.

Let Yun Chen accompany you?

She did want to, but unfortunately, his position and her own job meant that the two of them could not go on business trips together.

She politely thanked the waiter and asked him to bring some food to her room before returning to her room to rest.

Soon, the food was delivered.

Huang Xinran ate with big mouthfuls and felt that the food was much better than that of Dexuanlou.

In fact, it’s not that the food at Dexuanlou is bad, but in order to cater to Director Hu’s taste, the dishes ordered are all sweet and light.

Although Huang Xinran ate, it was not like her favorite food, so she only ate until she was 50% full.

After I came back, I ordered a simple egg fried rice, which made me feel full and satisfied.
