Chapter 286 This is my girlfriend
Li Dayong arrived at Zaojun Temple at six o'clock in the evening. He watched Li Ye and Wen Leyu happily eating their special meal, but he himself had no appetite.
While drinking porridge, Li Ye asked, "Dayong, how many days have you been back?"
Li Dayong said: "Twenty-one days."
Li Ye: "How many letters did you receive?"
Li Dayong hesitated for a few seconds and replied, "Three."
Li Ye put down the bowl of porridge and said, "One letter a week, why are you so anxious?"
"I'm not anxious. How could I be anxious? Don't talk nonsense, brother."
Li Dayong blushed, mainly because Wen Leyu was looking at him meaningfully, which made him very embarrassed.
"Okay, you can't rush this kind of thing. It's fate that comes naturally. Don't be nervous when we meet later. Be natural."
"I'm really not nervous, really not. Just tell me I'm leaving!"
Li Dayong denied it again and again, but he looked at the door three times in ten minutes. Finally, he couldn't stand Wen Leyu and Li Ye's mischievous looks, so he simply sat down at the gate of the yard.
Wen Leyu then asked with concern: "Li Dayong, will this time be the same as last time? Love is harmonious and joyful only when there is equality between the two sides. Why is he so eager to do this?"
Li Ye shook his head and said, "This time it's really different."
Wen Leyu: "Why is it different? It seems like he treated Lin Qiuyan the same way before."
Li Ye said: "It's Pei Wenhui who is different. You will know what a sweet girl from the south is later."
"A sweet girl from the South?"
Wen Leyu was a little confused, but an hour later, she finally understood what it meant.
Pei Wencong brought his sister and Jin Peng to Zaojun Temple.
The first thing Pei Wenhui saw after entering the door was Li Dayong, and then she ran over happily.
"Dayong, do your feet still hurt after you came back?"
"Did you take the medicine I brought you on time? The doctor said you strained your bones and muscles and you need to rest well."
"I received the gift you sent me, I like it so much!"
“.”
Pei Wenhui chattered about Li Dayong's well-being and even gave him a small gift that was obviously carefully prepared.
This sweet operation made Wen Leyu look confused.
[How did this bear come across this fine bran? ]
As for the care and enthusiasm shown by Pei Wenhui, even Wen Leyu, a woman, was envious. It would be strange if Li Dayong, who had had enough of Lin Qiuyan's PUA, was not overwhelmed by the sweetness.
Wen Leyu asked Li Ye in a low voice: "Is this what you call good luck? Or are all the sweet girls in the south like this?"
Li Ye said: "Not really. There are so many beauties in the world. She has her good points, and you have your good points. The one who is suitable for each other is the best."
Wen Leyu raised his nose and said, "Humph, you are good at talking."
Li Ye said: "Yes, yes, I like you like this."
"Go away~"
. . . . . . .
After Li Dayong reunited with Pei Wenhui, he wanted to take her to visit the capital, but was stopped by Li Ye.
"Don't you know what's going on recently? Don't wander around at night. Take me out for a good walk the day after tomorrow, Sunday."
The crackdown has been going on for more than half a month, and there are people looking for performance-related personnel at irregular intervals in the evening, so it is better to be cautious.
Li Dayong was a little disappointed, but suddenly he heard Pei Wencong say: "Actually, Xiaohui should not return to Hong Kong Island for the time being. We will have plenty of time to spend together in the future. I have to ask Mr. Li to take good care of my sister in the future!"
"Not going back to Hong Kong Island?" Li Ye thought for a moment and said, "Do you want her to take care of the business here? Or go to school here?"
Pei Wencong said: "Of course, let her finish her studies. I talked to the teachers at Beijing University today, and they said that they could consider letting Xiaohui study at Beijing University, as long as she passes the special admissions exam."
Li Ye smiled and said, "Old Pei, you have good taste, not bad."
Pei Wencong laughed happily and said, "No, no, it's all thanks to Mr. Li."
Pei Wenhui sat aside, her eyes rolling, and she smiled at Wen Leyu, then asked Li Ye: "Mr. Li, I heard that your girlfriend is studying English. I brought some English novels. Is it a good time to bring them in now?"
Li Ye said openly: "Here, this is my girlfriend, you can communicate with each other."
Wen Leyu glanced at Li Ye coldly, then curled her lips into a slight smile.
After a while, two large packages of English novels were placed in front of Wen Leyu.
Then the two girls quickly started to have a lively conversation, and Li Dayong, who had been waiting for a long time, became the third party who couldn't get a word in.
Jin Peng patted Li Dayong on the shoulder and asked him to go outside to smoke.
He guessed that Pei Wencong came to see Li Ye today not just to chat, but must have something private to say.
After no one was around, Pei Wencong said anxiously, "Mr. Li, I just talked to A-Po on the phone. The exchange rate in Hong Kong Island dropped by 10 cents today, from 8.25 to 8.35."
Li Ye asked back: "Why, do you want to throw it away?"
Pei Wencong immediately shook his head like a rattle.
If Li Ye didn't say to throw, how could he throw it?
Hong Kong Island is a place with a strong metaphysical atmosphere. Li Ye's continuous and accurate "magic operations" have turned Pei Wencong, a top student with higher education, into a believer in idealism.
To put it bluntly, now that Li Ye said that peeing while squatting would bring good luck, Pei Wencong would definitely not pee while standing.
Li Ye said: "Don't be anxious, it won't be long before you can sell it. If you really can't hold back, you can sell a little first and listen to the sound of money."
After the British Hong Kong government issued a series of announcements, the exchange rate fluctuated around 8.2. Many people who had made money began to leave the market, but Li Ye knew that it would eventually stabilize at around 7.9 and remain unchanged for decades.
With the money he and Pei Wencong have now, three cents can mean tens of millions of dollars in profit, so there is no need to rush.
"Okay, then Mr. Li, how much money do we need to invest this time to shoot "Homelander"? I asked several directors in Hong Kong Island, and the quotes were all around 35 million."
"Thirty-five million?" Li Ye asked doubtfully, "Hong Kong dollars?"
Pei Wencong's cheeks twitched and he said awkwardly, "No, US dollars."
Li Ye: “.”
Seeing Li Ye in a daze, Pei Wencong hesitated for a moment, but still took out a document and handed it to Li Ye.
"This is their quotation. I don't dare to make the decision myself, so I gave it to Mr. Li to decide."
Li Ye watched silently, without looking up for ten minutes.
“Heh~”
Li Ye couldn't help but sneer.
This quotation list lists nearly 300 actors, with the lowest salary being tens of thousands and the highest being over a million.
As for the costumes and props, it is even more outrageous. A set of armor costs $20,000. Are they going to use real cultural relics?
Li Ye shook the quotation in front of Pei Wencong, scaring him so much that his eyes jumped.
"I'm sorry Mr. Li, I'm not familiar with the Hong Kong film and television industry. This was introduced by a friend of a friend. They just said that filming a costume war drama is very expensive. In 1963, Hollywood's "Cleopatra" cost 31 million US dollars. It's already 1983, so I need you, Mr. Li, to make the decision."
“It does cost money, but it’s not a waste of money.”
Li Ye threw the quotation sheet to the ground and said, "Don't associate with that friend anymore!"
Pei Wencong hurriedly said, "Okay, then should I contact Wu Jinyuan tomorrow? She took the initiative to contact me tonight and seemed to have the intention of cooperating."
Li Ye laughed and said, "Why, Old Pei, are you interested in her? I invited you here to deal with her, you can't think of it as 'picking up' her!"
"I don't want to flirt with her," Pei Wencong said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "I just think that "Homesick" will definitely be released in Southeast Asia in the future. Wu's Cultural Communication Group has deep roots in Southeast Asia."
"Besides," Pei Wencong thought for a moment and said, "That Wu Jinyuan is not the same as us. Have you noticed the way he looks at us? He seems easygoing, but in fact he is arrogant and doesn't regard us as the same kind."
"oh?"
Li Ye became interested and asked with a smile: "We are not from the same path? How do you mean?"
Pei Wencong said, "I have asked my classmates about this. Wu Jinyuan is a direct descendant of the Wu family in Lijiapo. I don't know which room she belongs to. She is not just the deputy manager on the surface."
"Oh, I see."
Li Ye nodded. This made sense.
Otherwise, how could Wu Jinyuan, a deputy manager of a company, be able to arrange matters such as exchange students studying abroad and live broadcast of debates?
"Then Mr. Li, we don't have any professional people to shoot the movie at the moment. Should we contact Wu Jinyuan?"
“Who says we don’t have professionals making movies?”
Li Ye coldly rejected Pei Wencong's suggestion.
When it comes to making martial arts films, Hong Kong Island may have an overwhelming advantage right now.
However, when it comes to making historical war films, the mainland is not weak at all.
Mr. Jin sold the copyright of his martial arts novel to the mainland because "if the quality is as good as Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I am willing to transfer it for one yuan."
In '83, thirty-five million dollars?
Haha, even if you spend half the money, you can make it a classic.
I only wrote two and a half chapters today, I'll update three chapters tomorrow! It's too late, I really can't write it out.
