"This script is good. Although it's nonsensical, it's novel. Maybe it can really become famous, but..."
Peter's concerns were still not completely dispelled. He hesitated and said, "The creative team for this kind of web drama is too young. There are too many uncertainties from filming to release. Are you sure you want to take this gamble?"
"I'm sure."
Su Man pleaded, "Although 'Ice Tears' is a big production, it's a movie after all, and its popularity is short-lived. The bonus is not enough for the main character, let alone the third female role. Apart from looking good on my resume, it has no effect on my popularity. But this web series is different. I can play the female lead. Once it becomes a hit, I will be surrounded by stars."
Pete nodded, obviously agreeing with Suman.
One is principal preservation investment, which has no risk but small returns. The other is venture capital, which, while risky, can yield huge returns if it pays off.
"Okay, then I'll try it for you."
Su Man smiled gratefully. She knew it wasn't easy for Peter to give up a big-budget movie for a small web series like this. But it showed that Peter was indeed a forward-thinking agent.
...
The nanny car stopped downstairs of Suman's house.
The house she rented here was a one-bedroom apartment. Although it was not big, the rent was shockingly expensive.
At first, Zhou Man was reluctant to live here, but after being followed by paparazzi several times, she moved to this well-closed wealthy area.
When Su Man opened the door, she smelled the fragrance of flowers.
On the coffee table, a bunch of jasmine flowers growing in water are emitting fragrance.
This is Zhou Man’s favorite flower. It is just like her, clean and fresh.
Su Man was sitting on the fabric sofa stroking her breasts, but before her butt could get warm, the phone rang.
It said "Dad". Su Man hesitated for a few seconds before picking up the phone. "Dad."
"Why did you answer the phone just now!" The man on the other end of the line had a rough voice and an angry tone.
"I was just auditioning."
"Okay, stop talking about those useless things. You can transfer 100,000 yuan to my card later."
"One hundred thousand? What do you need so much money for?"
"Hey, you heartless guy! If I hadn't worked day and night to support your schooling, would you have become a star? You've made so much money, so what's wrong with being filial to your dad?"
Su Man took a deep breath and said, "It's not that I don't want to give it to you, but I have to know what you are going to do with it."
"Why are you asking so many questions!" The man's tone was even higher. "Are you haggling over a hundred thousand yuan? You're really not filial to someone who isn't your own child. You two are ungrateful!"
“…”
At this time, a low female voice came from the other side of the microphone, as if advising him not to speak to the child like that.
Before Su Man could finish her sentence, she heard a crisp sound.
“Pah.”
What followed was the man's angry curse, "Get out of here! What's your business? You jinx! If you hadn't urged me to go home over and over again last night, would I have lost? If you dare to talk nonsense again, I'll beat you to death!"
After scolding his wife, the man finally had time to talk to Su Man, "You, quickly transfer the money back to me. If you dare to refuse again, I will make you and your mother suffer!"
"Beep, beep."
The call was hung up, and Su Man's fingers gripping the phone tightened.
...
The man's name is Wang Shoucai, Zhou Man's stepfather.
When Zhou Man was one year old, her father died in an accident. Frail Chen Yu, who had to take care of the child and had no survival skills, married Wang Shoucai through a friend's introduction.
The matchmaker spoke very well, saying that Wang Shoucai was 32 years old and had never been married. He was strong and capable, and would definitely be able to support the family.
But after they got married, Chen Yu found out that Wang Shoucai was addicted to gambling. He would gamble a little every three days and a big one every five days.
Once the gambling started, he didn't care about anything else. If she asked one more question, Wang Shoucai would punch and kick her.
Chen Yu also thought about divorce, but she was a woman with no source of income. If she divorced, Zhou Man would have to live with her and eat coarse food. She couldn't bear to do that, so she could only endure it.
Habit is a terrible thing. Gradually, she accepted this kind of life submissively.
Although Wang Shoucai loved gambling and beating people, it was because of him that the mother and daughter were able to survive in this world.
In Chen Yu's gloomy life, her only lifeline is Zhou Man.
Perhaps because she had seen her mother's hardships so often, Zhou Man was an obedient and sensible child since childhood. She was awarded the "Three Good Students" award in elementary school and received scholarships as she grew up. Moreover, she would not spend a penny, but would bring it all home to her mother.
Later, when Zhou Man was in college, she became popular on the Internet because of a photo of her doing military training on campus. She was discovered by a scout and entered the entertainment industry.
She thought things would get better and better, but Wang Shoucai stopped working after Zhou Man became famous and instead asked her for money to gamble. If Zhou Man asked him any more questions, he would call her and her ungrateful children.
Zhou Man had to give him money, otherwise he would beat her mother.
Zhou Man was afraid of the consequences and could only fill Wang Shoucai's bottomless pit again and again.
She also advised her mother to divorce many times, but every time her mother said that Wang Shoucai had worked hard for her and her and she should not forget his kindness.
After a long time, Zhou Man knew that her mother would not divorce.
All she can do is earn a little more, and a little more.
As long as she brings home enough money, her mother will live a comfortable life.
In a sense, this is also the reason why she married He Shaoye even though she knew he was not a loyal person.
-
At this moment, as long as Su Man closed her eyes, she could see how Wang Shoucai beat Chen Yu.
