Chapter 336: Cellar
Ouyang Ouyang expressed the difficulty in a few words.
"Do you have to rent this family's cellar? Can't you rent someone else's?" Xu Youyou didn't understand.
Ouyang Ouyang scratched the back of his head and said, "Boss, that cellar is really different..."
Xu Youyou had a strange look on her face. She felt that this matter was difficult to judge. No matter how good a cellar was, it was still just a cellar!
Ouyang Ouyang handed the script to Xu Youyou to read, and there were many red words on it.
"This cellar perfectly fits the script setting. Boss, you gave us the script, and you should know it better than me. Almost not a single word of this script can be changed." Ouyang Ouyang said.
The movie script that Xu Youyou gave him was produced by the system. It was basically unchangeable, and all possible errors and omissions had already been satisfactorily resolved.
In Ouyang Ouyang's eyes, this script is as good as the works of the top screenwriters in the circle... no... Ouyang Ouyang feels that it is better than the works of the top screenwriters in the circle. The lines and plot settings are already perfect and not a single word can be changed.
This is the cellar that Ouyang Ouyang found in reality that best fits the setting of the script.
"Boss, you've also met Xiao Luo from our team. If he weren't a local and had dealt with this eccentric old man a lot, I wouldn't have been able to find a cellar that meets the requirements."
Ouyang Ouyang said as he showed Xu Youyou the photo of the cellar.
Xu Youyou had seen cellars in the village when she was a child. The one that Ouyang Ouyang found was indeed different. After all, she rarely saw three bedrooms and a living room dug out from a cellar. What was even more rare was that the top of one of the rooms in this cellar was empty. It didn't look like a cellar at all, but it was exactly the same as the description in the script.
But even if Xu Youyou thought it was appropriate, she didn't jump in like Ouyang Ouyang did, but said: "It's just a cellar. If you have the energy to do this, you can ask someone to dig another hole like this."
Ouyang Ouyang said helplessly: "Boss, do you think I haven't thought about it? But it's either bad here or lacking there. I've drilled several holes, but I can't get such an effect."
Xu Youyou was amazed and said, “Then he really is going to hang himself on a tree.
Ouyang Ouyang was about to cry, and said aggrievedly: "Boss, I have no choice. This plot has to be filmed, and the independent funds are being burned more and more..."
Xu Youyou waved her hand and said, "I told you a long time ago that money is not a problem."
Ouyang Ouyang whispered: "Boss, you are generous, I can't be ignorant, what if someone accuses me of wasting funds on purpose or something."
Xu Youyou continued to give him a reassurance: "It's not like I don't know who you are. If you employ someone, trust him. If you doubt him, don't employ him. Don't say such things."
Ouyang Ouyang stopped pretending to be pitiful, but still looked at Xu Youyou eagerly and said, "Boss, you have a quick mind. Help me think of a way to see if we can persuade this old man."
Xu Youyou asked: "Is it not possible to spend money?"
Ouyang Ouyang nodded slightly.
"What about his children? He doesn't care about money, so will his descendants also not bow down for money?"
Ouyang Ouyang sighed heavily: "Boss, what do you say? We have tried this method before. Our descendants really want to make this money, but unfortunately this old man is very stubborn. Even if the whole family tries to persuade him, it doesn't work!"
Even Xu Youyou couldn't help but marvel at this when she heard this.
Xu Fang, who was standing by, originally wanted to volunteer, but because of the old man's cruel temper, she couldn't help but back down.
Xu Fang still remembered his duty, and whispered, "Boss, I'll ask someone to find out if there's anything he can do to help."
Who knew that as soon as these words came out, Ouyang sighed heavily again: "Assistant Xu, it's useless. Xiao Luo was born and raised in the village. He has been very anxious about this matter. Almost every villager has been harassed by him. He has turned the old man's past upside down, but it's useless."
Xu Youyou was aroused by his curiosity and asked, "What is the past of this old man?"
"This old man's past is both rare and common. There were many people like him in that era. His family is said to be a wealthy family. The family drew lots that year, and the old man won and stayed in China. The others went overseas."
"Boss, I say it's strange because such a wealthy family, which obviously has the ability to send all the children abroad, chose to abide by some inexplicable rules and only keep one child, not caring that the child was only in his teens at the time, and letting him stay alone in the country. How cruel must these parents be."
Xu Youyou couldn't help smelling something unusual when listening to Ouyang Ouyang's words. She immediately perked up and asked, "How can a teenager in his teens live peacefully until now?"
In that era, people were short of food and clothing, and they had experienced the fight against landlords. It was really amazing that a young man in his teens, with so much property, could live safely to over 90 years old.
Ouyang Ouyang nodded heavily: "Boss, I also find it strange. The old man was lucky. It is said that before liberation, he was set up and all his family property was lost. He was left with only a broken cellar to live in. After liberation, he was even classified as a poor peasant."
Xu Youyou was slightly surprised. In that era, people attached great importance to their background, and too much property would become a hot potato. This person was really lucky, but she felt something was weird in her heart, as if the other party had deliberately calculated to make her poor.
"What happens after liberation?" Xu Youyou asked.
Ouyang Ouyang continued, "After liberation, the old man married and had children. Later, when the school was closed and educated youth went to the countryside, the old man still attached great importance to education. When the college entrance examination was resumed, his son and daughter were both admitted to university. His descendants also moved to the city. Even his son caught up with the last wave of dividends from reform and opening up, made a lot of money, and became the first millionaire in the village."
At this point, Xu Youyou thought the story was over.
Unexpectedly, life is unpredictable. Ouyang Ouyang said: "It's a pity that his son and grandson died early, and the huge family business was ruined by his great-grandson. Now the family is just better than the rich but worse than the poor."
Xu Youyou felt sad in her heart that even if the family had a far-sighted leader, it would not be able to withstand the foolish behavior of his descendants.
Ouyang Ouyang: "His great-grandson is short of money and is getting anxious all day long. He persuades the old man to rent out the cellar, but he refuses no matter what he says."
