Chapter 129: bets

Dou Ai is actually willing to be a match for herself, which is something Xingchen Qi wouldn't dare to think about, no matter in the past or now.

Xingchen Qi asked, confused, "Say it again?"

Ye Bai repeated, "I'll make you a match."

"It's not appropriate, is it? ......"

"What's wrong with that," Ye Bai cried, "what rule says I can't play a supporting role?"

There is indeed no such ridiculous rule, Xingchen Qi again confused for a while. Ye Bai couldn't stand it anymore, and flicked his head, "Contact the director, it's been months, and it's not sure if the director has a schedule."

"...... Right." Xingchen Qi was shocked, finally awake, and hurried to find and the director's text message records, according to the number dialed over.

Fortunately, the director and screenwriter didn't give up on the book. After Xingchen Qi, they have casted a few more film companies. Unfortunately, in the winter environment of film and television, all the companies preferred to choose the books with their own topics and themes that meet the aesthetics of the public.

After all, the purpose of making a film is to make money. And who does the money come from? From the audience.

The vaudeville has long since disappeared, and the only people willing to watch it, besides the older generation, are the boys who temporarily asked their girlfriends out and forgot to buy tickets in advance and had to buy movie tickets for the same scene.

Can investors expect to see 200 to 300 million boys across the country, making low-level mistakes?

And can't.

The nation's boys with objects are not necessarily able to pull out 200 million of them.

But with "Last Night's Star" is different, "Last Night's Star" is the film from the mother's womb with the heat. With it, you can completely ignore the subject matter and tonal issues.

The director and scriptwriter were not from H-city, so after a brief chat, Xingchen Qi asked them to fly over by tomorrow to discuss the matter. After receiving a positive answer, Ye Bai and Xingchen Qi immediately drove to Noah.

It was their first time to make a movie and they knew nothing about it. After talking with Noah Chen, they realized that they needed to create a project first, and that a project needed a plan.

Xingchen Qi looked to Ye Bai: "I am a science student."

Ye Bai helplessly: "I am also a science student."

Chen Noah : "...... Forget it I'll write one for you guys to try."

Half an hour later, the duo walked out of Noah's door with the skeleton of the plan, just waiting for the director to fill in the details when they arrived.

.

When it was not dark, Xingchen Qi asked Ye Bai to accompany him to the hospital.

Xingchen Qi hadn't seen Xuan Tao for a long time since he left after the New Year, and he missed the boy a bit, and he had something to say to Xuan Tao.

When I arrived at the hospital, Xuan Tao was standing in the middle of the ward pulling the yoga belt. Xingchen Qi "wowed", "You're practicing on the equipment?"

" Brother Xing Xing!" Xuan Tao threw down his yoga belt and pounced on me, "I'm preparing for my surgery next month!"

His pounce was quite Jiaze Qi-esque, and Xingchen Qi was a bit upset - why didn't he learn the good things, but had to learn the bad things from Jiaze Qi?

The next thing you know, Ye Bai peeled him off Xingchen Qi's body. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not able to get a lot of money from the internet.

"Well, Professor Liang found it for me!" Xuan Tao smiled coyly, "Brother, you haven't visited me for a long time, is that the brother-in-law Ze Jia was talking about behind you?"

Xingchen Qi : "...... Yes."

"Good day, brother!" Xuan Tao shouted in a crisp voice.

Both from the behavior and expression, you can see that he is particularly happy, Xingchen Qi also can not help but follow the corners of the lips up.

Xuan Tao was able to find a kidneysource, which is a rare piece of good news among a bunch of bad things.

Xingchen Qi asked Xuan Tao to sit with him, and after they sat down on the ward chair, Xingchen Qi hesitated to open his mouth again. Xuan Tao, who is much more delicate than the average adolescent boy, took the initiative to ask, "Brother Xing Xing, do you have something to say to me?"

Xingchen Qi did have something to say to him, but didn't know how to express it.

"It's okay, you treat me like Ze Jia straight up."

Since this is the case, Xingchen Qi also does not want to continue to drag on, try to say: " Xuan Xiao , if one day your sister and I go to the opposite side, will you be sad?"

"Opposite ......" Xuan Tao paused for a moment, "My sister she ...... did something bad?"

From the usual interactions, Xuan Tao can see that Xingchen Qi's character is the kind of person who tries not to make enemies with others.

If Xingchen Qi and whoever goes to the opposite side, then the other party must have touched his bottom line and has reached the point of having to break.

I didn't expect Xuan Tao to be so sensitive, Xingchen Qi's chest was a little tight, but he didn't intend to tell Xuan Tao the truth. After all, Xuan Tao has not yet fully recovered, so if it affects his mood and causes his condition to worsen, it is not worth losing.

Moreover, Xuan Tao had made an appointment with Jiaze Qi to take the college entrance examination together. Freshmen should take the exam as a priority and should not delay their grades.

He deliberated for a few seconds, "Some time ago, your sister designed to hurt some people in order to achieve her goal, and also hurt me and the people around me. The Qi family has suffered a lot of losses because of this incident, and I have to collect this debt."

Xuan Tao thought to have a heart to prepare, can be more easily accepted, but after listening to Xingchen Qi said or show a few sad expression, "I will not be sad because you and my sister to the opposite side, I am more sad is that she actually choose to use to hurt others to achieve their own purposes, which has ...... Not her anymore."

The child is too understanding, Xingchen Qi heart sour, touched his fluffy hair.

"Brother," Xuan Tao's voice trembled, "the harm you say ...... is killing people?"

Xingchen Qi didn't know how to answer, avoiding the important question, "My family is still alive."

Xuan Tao made a soft "mmm" sound and lost the courage to ask further questions. At that moment, Jiaze Qi came in, and Xingchen Qi told him to tease Xuan Tao, ask him about his studies, and then take Ye Bai away.

On the way back Xingchen Qi has been thinking, such a well-behaved child, if you know that his sister burned to death and burned more than fifty people ......

How uncomfortable it must be.

.

The next day, the two sides were still splitting up. Yuji Qi went to the office, while Xingchen Qi and Ye Bai took the plan to Ran An's temporary rented apartment.

By the time they arrived, the director and writer had already been talking with Ran An for a while. When they met Xingchen Qi, the first thing the director said was, "Thank you."

Saying that, he actually cried, "If it weren't for you, I might have really given up ......"

Ran An was taken aback by his weepy appearance.

Xingchen Qi hurriedly took a tissue and stuffed it into his hand.

The screenwriter naturally knows more about the script he created than Xingchen Qi, and when the director calmed down, several of them discussed and filled in a few details in the plan.

After everything was confirmed, Xingchen Qi solemnly signed "Xingchen Qi" on the "Producer" position.

So Night Star Media's first project, Xingchen Qi's first film, was quietly born in this small, unassuming home.

As a professional agent, Ran An naturally has more contacts than Xingchen Qi. After roughly formulating the plan, Ran An didn't wait a minute and started to call all the major film companies.

With the gimmick of "starring for the first time last night", no film company was not interested in the project, not even bothering to ask about the concept and plot outline of the film, but directly asking for the price.

However, when Ran An said he needed $800 million, most companies hesitated, saying they needed to think about it.

After all, 800 million is not a small amount, if you look at today's film market, how many films can exceed one billion after dehydration each year?

A small literary film, opening the door to 800 million investment, they do not want to invest, but want to use the "consider" excuse to pressure the price.

But Xingchen Qi was bound to get eight hundred million, signaling Ran An: "Keep fighting."

"Good, the next film company owner is a friend of Mr. Qi, so it should be better to talk."

Big brother's friend? Xingchen Qi asked, "Which company?"

"Oriental Pictures."

"Oh ......" Xingchen Qi Come to think of it, "My Time" is hosted by East Orange TV, a subsidiary of Oriental Pictures.

As expected by Ran An, Yuedong Ji, the president of Oriental Pictures, did not take a roundabout tactic when she said the amount, but was straightforward: "Unless I am stupid, I will believe that a 2D literary film needs 800 million investment."

"We didn't mean it that way," Ran An compensates, "we mainly want to invest more in the promotion ......"

"No need to say," Yuedong Ji interrupted Ran An, "I can invest the money, but I do not like to fight a battle that is not sure. How about this, the bet, you to the East directed to issue eight hundred million share capital, the end of the year, if the night star stock price did not double to 1.5 times, you use two times the price, and then buy back my hands shares."

In other words, the East can now invest eight hundred million in Night Star. But the requirement is that at the end of the year these eight hundred million shares must be doubled into 1.2 billion, otherwise Xingchen Qi will have to spend 1.6 billion in white silver to buy back this part of the stock from the East.

"Well?" Yuedong Ji said, "I'll give you a week to think about it."

Ran An looked at Xingchen Qi with difficulty.

"No, not for a week."

Xingchen Qi gritted her teeth, "As long as you are free, I can sign anytime."

Now there are seven months left before the end of the year, if the film is scheduled from now on and use some connections to get through the review, it can be released in December at the earliest.

The good thing is that literary films are quick to shoot and easy to post-produce, so you don't need to spend time on doing special effects and such. If the other party can make a request for the end of the year, it must have been calculated.

Xingchen Qi The words just fell, the caller suddenly lightly laughed, "Good, worthy of Yun Xiao's brother.

Yuedong Ji paused, "Since you are so crisp, then I am also painful. Send me the account number and I'll allocate the money to you now."

What, transfer money now?

Xingchen Qi froze, "What about the directed issue?"

"The head of the securities department will approach you ...... Come on, I'm sure you'll be able to bring Yunxiao out."

.

It was only after hanging up the phone that Xingchen Qi realized that the other party's investment was a lie, and the desire to help Qi's was real.

It also really proves what Jing Liang said - in this case, the willingness to lend a hand to the Qi family is not because of kindness or anything else, but the Qi family usually do a good job, extensive good relations.

When in trouble, only when someone is willing to help the Qi family.

Almost ten minutes later, Ye Bai's cell phone vibrated, and 800 million cash arrived. At this point, the hole of 5.2 billion fine was finally filled.

Xingchen Qi couldn't wait a moment, told Ran An to help the director find a team, and dragged Ye Bai straight to pay the fine.

After paying the fine, Master Qi, who had reached his detention period, could be released directly. The registration process was long, and Xingchen Qi kept walking in front of the detention center.

Finally, the moment he saw his father appear, he couldn't help but rush up and hug Qi Laozi hard, "Dad-"

Master Qi coughed twice and patted him on the back: "You're such a big boy, why are you still pouting? Don't cry, Dad is fine."

"I... I... ...... I was worried sick about you," Xingchen Qi choked out, "Did you eat well? Did you get any sleep? Did the people inside bully you? Are there any difficult or uncomfortable places on your body?"

"No, everything is fine," Qi's father's eyes were red from his question, "to say that the hard part is that I haven't seen you guys for some days and I miss it."

"Oooh ...... Dad, I miss you too ......"

Since leaving the orphanage, Xingchen Qi has basically not cried much. While patting his back, Qi's father observed the man behind him, "You are Ye Bai ?"

"Yes, hello uncle."

"I am very satisfied that I can come specially to accompany Xing Xing. Come, hold him up, let's go home first."

.

Master Qi was the first to be captured, he did not know anything that happened afterwards, after returning home Xingchen Qi first gave him a brief account of the time.

When he heard that his eldest son was also taken away, he threw his cane in anger; when he heard that Yuji Qi was managing the company by himself, he exclaimed with relief that women are not as good as men.

After spending some time in detention, it is impossible to say that the body is not affected. Because of the coolness of the detention center, Qi's father fell into a coughing problem. The father and son did not talk for long, he coughed more and more.

It was not suitable to go to the hospital just after coming out, so Xingchen Qi found some cough medicine and took it and waited for him to go to his room to rest.

When her father finally went to sleep, Xingchen Qi came downstairs rubbing her eyes and saw Ye Bai on the sofa, her cheeks fluttered two scarlet red, "You didn't see my ugly face crying, did you?"

Ye Bai shook his head quickly, "No."

"That's fine."

Xingchen Qi breathed a long sigh of relief, settled down next to Ye Bai, and hugged his arm, "My dad said he likes you a lot."

Ye Bai jokingly crossed her fingers, "So now all that's missing is my brother-in-law."

After a pause, Ye Bai said, "Xing Xing, I have a question I've been wanting to ask you."

Xingchen Qi : "What?"

"Have you ever thought about ...... In the future, we will remain in the book, or should we return to the real world."

Xingchen Qi's expression stiffened.

He knew why Ye Bai asked this, because Ye Bai was not sure about his feelings for Qi's family before, but now he should be clear, so he wanted to ask his opinion.

Whether to stay or go, he thought about it, of course he did.

"...... Brother Night," Xingchen Qi said softly, "where do you want to be?"

"Me, I'm with you."

Xingchen Qi lowered his eyes, "Then when the home and the work at hand is finished, we can then think long and hard about it, OK?"

"Well," Ye Bai smiled, "it's all up to you."

"Zee-zee-zee-zee-"

While the two were whispering, Xingchen Qi's phone suddenly rang. The caller showed Changlin Xu, Xingchen Qi got up from Ye Bai and immediately picked up the phone: "Hello, Uncle Xu."

"Xiao Qi, I found the evidence that Tao Tao bought the arson!"
