It turns out that a director found Zhao Qian to make a movie. He has a good script, but the funds are not yet available. Zhao Qian wanted to invest with his own money, and he wanted to recruit Li Jianbo to join him.
It's just that Li Jianbo is not familiar with movies, let alone how to make movies. After listening to Zhao Qian's explanation, he cautiously replied: "Being a producer yourself must be hard work and the sacrifices are huge. But if you want to invest, I support it with both hands." , but my situation is clear to Weiwei, it may be difficult for me to come up with a large sum of money immediately. "
Li Wei knew that his second brother used a sum of savings to buy a property last month. That property cost Li Jianbo most of his savings, and now he really has no more money left.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how much or how little money you have. The important thing is to participate. If my second brother buys individual stocks, he will be able to share the box office accounts in the future."
Although Li Jianbo is also keen on investing, he has always been cautious. Even if he has a grasp of the financial trends in the next few years, he does not dare to invest randomly. Nowadays, he is interested in real estate and e-commerce, but rarely engages in other areas. Now that he is asked to get involved in movies, Li Jianbo doesn't have much confidence, so he is even more cautious.
Li Jianbo thought about it again and again, and for the sake of his sister, he finally relaxed: "I really don't have much circulating funds on hand, but if you ask, I will still support it. Let's do this, I will use 300,000 yuan. To be honest, I’m not afraid of your jokes. This money is my old capital, so don’t take it too little.”
Three hundred thousand is indeed not a big amount, but Zhao Qian still accepted it with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I guarantee that my second brother will not lose a penny of his money."
Li Wei listened to them talking about business, but she never interrupted. After finishing their meal, Zhao Qian and Li Jianbo went to the living room to discuss things. Li Wei and Mrs. He hurriedly cleared the dining table.
Li Wei helped wash the dishes and tidy up the kitchen. From time to time, a few conversations could be heard in the living room. Aunt He said to Li Wei on the side: "Today's roast beef with potatoes was very well done. I ate them all. It seems to be Madam's specialty." It’s a delicious dish. I wonder if I can ask Madam how to cook the beef deliciously.”
"This is easy, let's talk about it another day." Li Wei didn't have any thoughts about potatoes and beef right now.
She washed the grease off her hands, dried them on a towel and walked out. Li Jianbo was already leaving, and this time she didn't bother to say a few words to her second brother when he came over.
"Second brother is leaving?"
"Yes, I have to get up early tomorrow morning because I have classes, so I won't disturb you. You guys should be well and call me if you need anything."
It was not convenient for Li Wei to force him to stay, so he said he was going to see him off. It happened that Qiu Kai also wanted to leave, so Qiu Kai said: "I will see Dr. Li off. Boss, you guys have a rest."
Zhao Qian still insisted on sending Li Jianbo into the elevator, and then formally said goodbye.
The house suddenly became quiet. Zhao Qian returned to the room and saw Li Wei using the computer in the study. He walked in, put his arm around Li Wei's shoulders and said, "When you have time in the future, you can teach me this. For these There is no difference between me and an illiterate when it comes to electrical appliances.”
Li Wei had no intention of surfing the Internet. She hurriedly closed several homepages, then raised her head and asked Zhao Qian seriously: "You want to attract your second brother to invest, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"Time is urgent, so I didn't bother."
"No matter how urgent it is, there should be time to communicate with each other. In the end, I became an outsider."
Zhao Qian just didn't want Li Wei to worry too much. He said to her gently: "How come you are an outsider? Don't think too much about it. I will discuss this matter with my second brother. But it feels like he doesn't seem to care much about it." It’s like he trusts me. But it’s normal. It’s rare for him to cooperate for the first time. I think it’s mostly for your sake.”
Li Wei thought for a while and finally said to Zhao Qian: "Zhao Qian, you are not the regent, and I am not the Queen Mother. I am a husband and wife, and we have an equal relationship. If you have anything to do in the future, please let me know in advance, okay? I always feel uncomfortable being kept in the dark.”
Li Wei was still willing to speak out everything that was on her mind. She didn't want to keep these words in her heart. She knew that over time it would turn into a conflict.
Hearing what Li Wei said, Zhao Qian also sincerely apologized to Li Wei: "Okay, I will never be like this next time. If anything happens, I will inform you in advance and ask my wife to help me check it first."
Li Wei looked like this was pretty much the same, and then asked: "Last night, when you told me that there was a new movie to start filming in early June, did you mean this movie that you invested in?"
Zhao Qian nodded and said, "Yes, I'm preparing to catch up with the Lunar New Year festival, but I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up."
"The filming only started in early June. After the filming is completed, there is still post-production, and it has to be submitted for approval, and then the schedule has to be set. If there is not enough publicity in the remaining few days, how much guarantee will it have at the box office?"
"If we can't catch up with the Lunar New Year stalls, we may postpone the Spring Festival stalls for two months. There is a long holiday during the Spring Festival, and a lot of people go to the cinema."
Li Wei said: "You should be more generous during the Spring Festival. Don't make shoddy products just to keep up with the schedule. Otherwise, you will lose your reputation and it will be difficult in the future."
Zhao Qian felt that although Li Wei was not in this circle, he still knew a lot about film production. He thought for a while and asked with a smile: "You are free now. Do you want to join me in the production of this film?"
Li Wei looked at him in surprise for a while before saying, "I can't act."
"You don't have to act. You can just work behind the scenes."
"Behind the scenes? Forget it, you have high expectations for this drama. I am a layman joining in the fun. I am afraid that I will miss your business, so don't involve me." Li Wei did not feel confident about it. thing.
Seeing that Li Wei refused, Zhao Qian did not force her.
The couple discussed it for a while, and Li Wei walked out of the study first, only to see Sister-in-law He was cleaning a painting in the corridor.
Li Wei saw it and said quickly: "You just wiped the painting a few days ago and it's not dirty."
Sister-in-law He smiled and said: "I saw there was dust on it, maybe I didn't wipe it clean before wiping it off."
The lights in the corridor were not bright, but Mrs. He could see the dust on the paintings and her eyes were indeed powerful enough. She went outside and poured some water.
When it was time to go to bed at night, Zhao Qian wanted to pull Li Wei to continue what he had not finished last night. Li Wei's attitude was still very cold and he pushed Zhao Qian away and refused on the grounds of physical discomfort.
Zhao Qian felt strange in his heart. Li Wei was not on his period, so why was he so cold all of a sudden
Li Wei turned around and turned his back to Zhao Qian. From her angle, she could just see a little shadow peeking out from the crack in the door. She felt very uncomfortable having her privacy peeked into like this.
The next day she got up earlier than Zhao Qian, and Sister-in-law He naturally got up earlier than Li Wei and was busy making breakfast in the kitchen. Li Wei looked at her busy figure and had many things to say in his heart, but finally pressed the button without speaking.
