Chapter 16 The Fallen Child Star 16

Soon, Xu Weiheng knew what Yao Rong was going to do with these things.

According to Yao Rong's needs, Xu Weiheng personally went to the timber market twice and successfully bought all the tools she wanted.

Among these things, there are still many unprocessed woods.

Some are cheap at a few dozen yuan each, while others are expensive at thousands of yuan each.

Yao Rong picked out a brown wood from it and began to polish the surface of the wood in an orderly manner. After the smoothness of the surface of the material met her requirements, she picked out the carving knife and turned it back and forth on the wood.

In Xu Weiheng's view, every time she moved the knife was very smooth, without any sense of stagnation, as if she was not carving on the wood, but writing on a flat piece of paper.

He couldn't help but pick up the same carving knife and lightly scratched a piece of the cheapest wood.

The carving knife slipped and almost scratched the back of his left hand, which was used to fix the wood.

Yao Rong glanced at him, made sure he didn't hurt himself, and put her attention back on the wood.

From beginning to end, she never stopped moving.

Not long after, Yao Rong put the carving knife back to its original position.

The piece of wood in her hand had turned into a long cylindrical "rocket".

Xu Weiheng was amazed by the exquisite craftsmanship: "How is this done!?"

Yao Rong handed the "rocket" to him: "Take a close look at this rocket, does it look familiar to you?"

Xu Weiheng turned it over and over, and finally found a clue on the fairing on top of the rocket: "This shape seems to be different from ordinary rockets. Hey, HX, isn't this number the same as the rocket that the hero rode in "Starry Sky"? "

As a reader who has read "Starry Sky" three times, he reacted instantly: "So this shape is the cone of the von Karman curve?"

Needless to say, after knowing that this rocket was HX, the more Xu Weiheng looked at it, the more he found that it was exactly the same as the description in the novel.

He first marveled at Yao Rong's excellent carpentry skills, but soon, Xu Weiheng's heart began to beat violently.

"You... when you were writing a novel, you couldn't really imagine everything in it, right?"

He thought as he read the article. She described it in too much detail. Not only could she describe the external shape, but she also described the internal structure in detail.

This amazing detail was one of the reasons why "Starry Sky" attracted him so much.

Yao Rong brushed off the wood chips scattered on her knees and replied casually: "Anything I have described in detail can be made."

Xu Weiheng had a terrible idea: "Then you bought these woods for..."

Yao Rong smiled slightly and confirmed Xu Weiheng's idea: "In order to carve them all out."

Xu Weiheng's eyes widened: "So this is the author personally making the peripherals?"

"When they are carved out, all will be given to you."

Xu Weiheng was so excited that he couldn't speak and nodded vigorously.

Yao Rong wanted to carve these models on a whim.

But this is indeed a win-win situation.

First of all, such craftsmanship is definitely enough to surpass others.

Secondly, when the program starts recording, her novel will also be on the market.

The production team of "Dear Family" wanted to use the topic of her and Xu Weiheng to hype up the show and attract more viewers to watch the variety show. She also wanted to use the popularity of the production team to attract traffic to her novel.

Although the popularity of the variety show "Dear Family" is no longer as glorious as it was in the first season, a skinny camel is still bigger than a horse, and the live broadcast room has roughly attracted millions of people.

When these millions of people saw the lifelike space station and spaceship she carved, and knew that these space stations and spaceships were perfectly replicated according to her novels, would they become curious about her novels?

As long as a small number of these millions of people are curious and search for her novels, it is a force that cannot be ignored.

In the end, she only wasted some materials and time to maximize the publicity effect.

This kind of free advertising would be a waste if it were not used.

Of course, the most important point is that Xu Weiheng likes her novels very much.

Such a small ornament can make him happy, so why not.

Xu Weiheng held the rocket and looked at it several times, and couldn't let it go. Suddenly he remembered something and asked Yao Rong: "Grandpa is a carpenter. Did you learn this craft from him?"

Grandpa died when he was very young.

But Xu Weiheng still remembered that he had received something carved by his grandfather. The baby carriage he used was made by his grandfather himself. It was sturdy, durable and beautiful.

Yao Rong said: "I learned it from him."

This was not a lie.

At Xu Weiheng's request, Yao Rong also carved a satellite for him.

He placed the two ornaments at the head of the bed, and continued to go out shopping with satisfaction.

The summer is scorching, and now is almost the hottest time of the year. In order to avoid the sun, Xu Weiheng chooses to go out at dawn and come back in the evening when the sun sets.

Seeing that he is not tired, Yao Rong lets him go, and only prepares ice and summer heat relief food every day for him to eat as soon as he gets home.

Of course, in this process, Xu Weiheng will inevitably encounter many problems.

For example, when buying decoration materials, he was sold inferior products as good ones, and was taken advantage of by others.

At the beginning, Xu Weiheng was still a little thin-skinned. He knew that he was being cheated but was embarrassed to say anything. But after a few losses, he got used to it and never stepped into the trap again.

That day, Yao Rong went out for a walk, and Grandpa Chen next door said to Yao Rong: "Wei Heng looks more and more energetic."

Yao Rong smiled and agreed.

He is indeed more and more energetic.

This morning, he climbed up the longan tree in the yard to pick longans, and later found that his arms were bitten by mosquitoes.

After returning from a walk outside, Yao Rong turned on the computer, and several messages popped up one after another.

[Tiangong Vision: Ms. Yao, we have checked the model drawings you provided, and it can indeed be built! ! ! ]

[Tiangong Vision: Can you hand over the design concept to us? We agree to your request, 10 million + technology investment, in exchange for 30% of Tiangong Vision's shares]

The above two messages were sent half an hour ago.

Of the 10 million, 5 million is compensation for Xu Weiheng's mental damages, and the other 5 million is the notice fee given by the program team.

Perhaps because Yao Rong did not reply to their messages for a long time, three more messages were sent five minutes ago:

[Tiangong Vision: This share is indeed a lot. Our team has invested at least 100 million in the company, and several years of hard work, so we must ensure that we have absolute right to speak. ]

[Tiangong Vision: Well, if you are not satisfied, we can still talk about it]

[Tiangong Vision: Otherwise... 35%? 】

Yao Rong finished reading these messages and began to type on the keyboard to reply to their messages.

***

On the other side, far away in H City, was Tiangong Vision.

Pei Rou of Tiangong Vision was slumped in his office chair.

He had a very feminine name, but he was an out-and-out man, wearing heavy black-framed glasses, looking no more than twenty-six or twenty-seven years old, with a depressed look.

Behind him, there were several young people about his age.

They were all listless, like eggplants hit by frost.

"What do you say we should do? The other side hasn't replied to the message yet. Could it be that they think 35% is too little?" Pei Rou had a headache.

A colleague sighed, too tired to straighten his back.

"It's possible. We are already having cash flow problems, and the 10 million yuan from her can solve our immediate needs. If she wants to take advantage of the situation, she can buy 30% of our shares with this 10 million yuan."

"Not to mention the model in her hand. If we can get hold of that model, our company will definitely become a first-class special effects company right away."

"You know, when I say first-class, I don't mean first-class in China, but first-class in the world!"

Pei Rou cried with a sad face, "It's over, it's over. Our dream was so close to us, is it going to leave us just because we are unwilling to give more shares?"

A female member of the team couldn't stand it anymore: "What a mess. What if the other party has something urgent and didn't see the message we sent?"

Pei Rou was about to speak when suddenly, his eyes lit up and he rushed to the computer, staring at the sentence displayed on the dialogue box: "The other party is typing..."

[Yao Rong: Just 30%]

Afterwards, Yao Rong gave them a reassurance.

[Yao Rong: Don't worry, the company will still be managed by your team. I will not participate in the company's decision-making. I will only be responsible for taking dividends.]

Pei Rou screamed and almost jumped over to hug the computer.

Although the other team members did not lose their composure as he did, they all smiled with relief.

It's good that the cooperation can be successfully negotiated.

And from this short sentence, it can be seen that their shareholder is a kind person.

On the premise that they have already proposed to give 35% of the shares, the other party still only asked for the initial 30%.

Pei Rou took out a lollipop from somewhere and bit it with a crunching sound. Her hands were not idle either. She quickly replied: [Okay, Sister Yao, don't worry! We will fax the contract to you later!]

Yao Rong noticed the change in the address at the first time.

She chuckled and closed the chat page.

To be honest, Tiangong Vision was just a chess piece for her.

So there was not much difference between 30% and 35% of the shares for her.

But the more shares the other party holds, the more say they have, and the more motivated they are to work.

In this virtuous cycle, if she gets 30% of the shares, the profit she gets may not be less than if she gets 35%.

And what she really wants is not the money, but the advancement of special effects technology.

Tiangong Vision quickly sent the contract over. Yao Rong checked the contract and signed her name directly after confirming that there were no problems.

Afterwards, she readily transferred 10 million to Tiangong Vision's account, and sent them the model design ideas that Pei Rou and the others had been thinking about.

[Yao Rong: It's all above, you go and study it first, and communicate with me if you have any questions.]

Pei Rou and the others didn't reply to her for a long time.

Yao Rong understood their excitement, closed the computer, and stood up to stretch his muscles.

Suddenly, there was a can of red Wangzai milk on the window.

Yao Rong was stunned and reached out to take it.

He opened the can and took two sips. He still didn't see Xu Weiheng show up, so he couldn't help but say, "Why are you still hiding?"

Xu Weiheng tilted his head and tentatively showed half of his body from behind the window. He also held the same drink in his hand and bit the straw hard.

Meeting Yao Rong's eyes, he spit out the straw: "I'm not hiding, I just don't know if you're done, and I'm worried about disturbing you."

"I'm done." Yao Rong had a very fulfilling time during this period, "I really used the 10 million to invest."

"Oh."

Xu Weiheng said he knew it, without even raising his eyebrows. His emotions were flat, and he was not as excited as when he drank Wangzai.

Yao Rong was defeated by him: "Aren't you curious about what I invested? Of the 10 million, 7.5 million is yours."

Xu Weiheng followed Yao Rong's words and asked: "What did you invest?"

Yao Rong: "...Thank you for giving me this face and asking me this question."

Xu Weiheng laughed: "You're welcome."

Yao Rong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and then he felt warm in his heart.

"Speaking of which, the program recording will start tomorrow, right? The program crew hasn't arrived yet?" Xu Weiheng changed the subject and looked towards the door.

As soon as he finished speaking, there were suddenly several car brake sounds outside the door.

"Is this the place?"

"Yes, it's here according to the address."

"It looks a bit ordinary, just an ordinary homestay."

"The door is unlocked. Come on and knock on it."

The voices of several people talking outside the door came into the yard. Then, someone knocked on the door and gently pushed the wooden door halfway open.

When the scenery in the yard came into view, several people were so surprised that their jaws almost dropped.

The creepers at the door were lush and green, and under the grape trellis, the sea of ​​roses swayed gracefully. There

was a swing between the osmanthus tree and the longan tree. If you didn't look closely, you would almost think that the swing was a tree of strange shape.

The stones used for decoration, as well as the stone benches, stone tables and wells, were all carved with exquisite patterns. Even the originally ordinary corners and eaves were carved with mythical beasts. The most amazing thing is that the beast was deliberately made to look old, and it really looks like it has stood here and has been baptized by thousands of years of wind and frost.

At first glance, this place does not look like a homestay, but rather like an ancient and simple old house with a long history, or a paradise that you accidentally walked into when you took a winding path.

"Are we really in the right place..." someone said embarrassedly, wishing he could slap himself in the face.

Looks ordinary?

If this is still called ordinary, then there is nothing special.

In comparison, the modern mansions where other guests live are mediocre.

"We are not wrong." Xu Weiheng jumped down the stairs, pushed Ping An, who came to join in the fun, aside, and said to a few people, "Come in."

"You, you are Xu Weiheng!?" The assistant director of the group looked Xu Weiheng up and down, with a look of surprise on his face.

The assistant director originally thought that Xu Weiheng and his mother lived in the county town and had just encountered so many bad things, so their condition would definitely not be very good. Even if there was a month's transition period, it would be too late to recover.

However, why did the assistant director feel that the plain-faced Xu Weiheng in front of him looked better than the retouched photos?

When the assistant director and his group walked into the house and saw Yao Rong standing in the yard to greet them, the surprise that had just been suppressed jumped out again.

This, is this really Xu Weiheng's mother? She

looks so young.

The assistant director had actually been to the Xu family once and met Xu Yiyuan's mother.

Xu Yiyuan's mother was well-maintained, wearing light makeup and curling her hair. She looked like a well-fed rich lady.

But her carefully packaged exquisiteness was completely inferior to Yao Rong's natural beauty.

"Hello." Yao Rong, wearing sportswear, greeted the assistant director.

"Hey, Ms. Yao," the assistant director replied.

He put other thoughts aside for the moment and discussed the filming details with Yao Rong: "We will set up cameras in several specific places in the yard and broadcast live 24 hours a day. This is mentioned in the contract."

"No problem, we will cooperate."

"By the way, there is also a place to stay... I have communicated with you before, and you said you could provide us with a few places to stay."

Yao Rong's lips curved slightly: "Yes, there are several empty rooms on the second floor, enough for you to stay. But I don't provide accommodation or food here, your accommodation fee will be charged according to the normal B&B charges, and food will be provided by the next door, do you think it's okay?"

People should not forget their old business.

Taking the opportunity to do the B&B business, and bring Grandpa Chen to earn extra money for the program group, wouldn't it be happy.

"Sure." The assistant director waved his hand and agreed decisively.

They don't have many program groups, but they have ample funds.

Besides, how expensive can the normal charge of a homestay be?

However, when the assistant director thought so, he overlooked a very serious problem-that is, this renovated homestay is no longer an ordinary homestay.

Looking at the price list handed over by Yao Rong, the assistant director's heart bled: "..."

Is it too late for him to change his words now?

Closing his eyes and signing his name, the assistant director urged others to find a good place to put the camera, and he himself went up to the second floor with great momentum, intending to see why this homestay dared to charge such a high price.

He came to the innermost house on the second floor and swiped his card to open the door.

When the scenery inside fell into his eyes, the assistant director was dumb, and the unhappiness in his heart disappeared.

The other party did not cheat him, and the price was very fair.

"Ding."

The assistant director's mobile phone suddenly rang with a notification sound.

He took out his mobile phone and saw

that it was people in the work group chatting.

"Dear Family" invited a total of four groups of guests this season.

The popular young flower and her father, the popular actress and her mother, Xu Yiyuan and his father, and Xu Weiheng and Yao Rong.

Among these four groups of guests, Xu Weiheng's group is the least popular.

The other three directors who followed the group were posting photos of luxury houses in the group and discussing the highlights and explosive points of the three groups of guests.

Xiaoxi, the director who followed Xu Yiyuan's group, even @ed the assistant director at the end: [How is it, the environment at Xu Weiheng's place is okay, it's in the countryside, the conditions are just so-so, if there are any inconveniences, just bear with it.]

The assistant director gave a fierce middle finger.

He and Xiaoxi had a very bad relationship, so bad that the conflict between the two was directly exposed.

This time, the two were in Xu Yiyuan's and Xu Weiheng's groups respectively, and there was an extra layer of gunpowder when they chatted.

The assistant director replied: [The environment is particularly good]

Xiaoxi: [Tsk, just pretend]

The assistant director was too lazy to argue with Xiaoxi, and responded with a noble and cold "hehe", deleted the photos he had just taken, and quickly turned around and went downstairs. He had to remind other colleagues not to leak the photos of the homestay in advance.

"Brother Xi, how are you? Have you found out any news?" At Xu's house, Xu Ji handed Xiaoxi a cigarette.

Ever since he found out that Xiaoxi was his family's director, Xu Ji has been trying to get close to Xiaoxi, and he brought boxes of good wine and cigarettes to his house.

After some interactions, Xiaoxi was also happy to help Xu Ji.

Just now, Xiaoxi went to find out the news at Xu Ji's request.

Xiaoxi took the cigarette, asked Xu Ji to light it for him, took a puff and said, "They say the environment is particularly good. I know him, he is the most stubborn person."

Xu Ji was thinking about other things while agreeing with Xiao Xi's words.

Ever since he knew that the program team was going to invite Yao Rong and her son, Xu Ji had always had an inexplicable worry in his heart. Although he looked down on Yao Rong like Xu Yiyuan's mother, it was undeniable that their family had been going downhill for some time, stumbling one after another. And all these stumbles were related to Xu Weiheng and his son.

This made Xu Ji particularly alert.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the contact information of Yao Rong's neighbors, and he was unwilling to fly to City D in person to inquire about the news, so he asked Xiao Xi to help find out.

The environment is particularly good?

How good can the environment of a homestay in a poor small county be?

I think he just said that because he couldn't save face.
