Chapter 40 Investors Suddenly Appeared
(Girls' Literature)
Half a month has passed. Liang Ruozi devoted herself to the musical. I didn't know at all because of the release of "The Poison Queen of the Owl". She's now famous. Industry insiders after watching that movie. gave Liang Ruozi a very positive evaluation. Although there are still many people on the Internet who criticize her. But she was immediately drowned by the spit of her powerful fan base. In the lobby on the first floor of the Empire State Building, a poster of her latest image was also prominently displayed. Just like Song Zehan promised Liang Ruozi at the beginning. But. The current Liang Ruozi doesn't like to be too high-profile. So there weren't many posters of her on the streets. There were no ads for her on the big curbside scrolling screens. Of course, all this was arranged by Song Zehan for her.
On this day, Liang Ruozi came to the studio. found that Xu Liang's face was not very good-looking. I thought it was caused by being too tired these days. She's just rehearsing the role she's going to play. And he. Take care of everything. It's going to be busy until late every day. It's impossible not to get tired.
"You don't look good today. Take a day off. Liang Ruozi handed Xu Liang a glass of water. Persuade.
Xu Liang shook his head slightly. "I'm not tired. ”
There was a moment of silence. He frowned slightly. said quietly: "I'm worried that I won't be able to make this musical." He didn't plan to tell Liang Ruozi about it. He didn't want her to worry. But he remembered what Liang Ruozi had told him. She said the musical was more than just his ideals. It is also her and Zheng Yang's ideal. Thinking about this sentence. He thought it would be better to tell her about it.
"Your dad won't give the money. In addition to this reason, Liang Ruozi couldn't think of any other reason for Xu Liang not to rehearse musicals. He put so much effort into it. I can't bear to give up halfway. It's not his style.
The corners of Xu Liang's lips pulled out a sneering smile. "He said he would support my cause," he said. It seems like I'm thinking too simply. ”
Liang Ruozi's heart was extremely unhappy. This old man is really hateful. If not. Five million shouldn't have been taken out in the first place. In this way, Xu Liang will not plan this musical. Now they are halfway in line. But he didn't give any money. Isn't this trying to force Xu Liang to death?
In fact, Xu Hua really wanted to support Xu Liang's career at the beginning. Xu Song went to prison. Only Xu Liang was left by his side. He cares more about the father-son relationship between him and Xu Liang. But after he took out five million. Liu Mei began to give him advice. Liu Mei is not Xu Liang's mother after all. She hoped that Xu Hua would leave more money for Xu Song. And the grandchildren who are about to be born. She said to Xu Hua. Musicals don't make money at all. As much as you put in, you can get into it. It's hard to get even this back. Xu Hua is a businessman. I also know that there is a high possibility of losing money when investing in musicals. I regretted it a little. After listening to Liu Mei's words, I regretted it even more. Thereupon. He simply pretended to be confused. said that his health was getting worse and worse. The money is all handed over to Liu Mei. Xu Liang knew that he was perfunctory. He knew that he would not be able to ask Liu Mei for money. That's self-deprecating.
Liang Ruozi looked at Xu Liang with a melancholy face. Relieved: "Don't worry. Things will always work out. You won't pay me and Brother Zheng's remuneration for the time being. Count us as investing. This opera contains our ideals in the first place. At this time, she remembered what Song Zehan had said. It's time to run out of money. He'll figure it out.
Xu Liang smiled indifferently. He said, "It looks like you're going to have to pay late." But I'll definitely pay. You must not be allowed to do it in vain. I have already appointed an agent to sell an apartment in my name. It is estimated to be around five million. If it could have been sold higher in the past. Now people are not very interested in hearing that it is my house. It's good enough to sell for five million. ”
"Then where will you live in the future? Liang Ruozi asked.
"Live here. It's more convenient that way. I divided this room into two. One of the inside can be used as a lounge. Xu Liang gestured with his hand and said.
Listened to this. Liang Ruozi's heart was sad. He used to be the envy of everyone in the rich family. And now I live in a small rental house.
But she didn't want to show a trace of sadness. made Xu Liang feel even more uncomfortable when he saw it. She smiled lightly and said, "I think it's good too." It's better for your screenwriting. I'm sure our musical will be a big hit at the box office. At that time, you will have to pay dividends to me and Brother Zheng. ”
Xu Liang grinned when he heard this. The mood suddenly brightened a lot. Sweep away the previous gloom. Walking out of the office with Liang Ruozi. I came to the stage and rehearsed with high spirits.
When Xu Liang and Liang Ruozi said those words. Jiang Li happened to be outside the door. She had wanted to tell them that the stage was ready. Listened to the conversation between the two men. The hand that was about to knock on the door gradually lowered. The whole heart also became a mess. Xu Liang didn't like others to disturb him in creating this musical. So he refuses any propaganda. No member is also allowed to divulge any information about the musical. All signed non-disclosure agreements. So no one knew they were rehearsing musicals here. Not to mention investors. She did help attract investors before Liang Ruozi signed the contract. But after signing that contract. I didn't dare to pull it anymore. Get along these days. She already knows some of Xu Liang's character. His personality is somewhat lofty. Some arrogance. He likes to do his own thing quietly. He actually had some contempt for those merchants. Especially those businessmen who don't understand art.
As Xu Liang said. His apartment was not a good sell. The rich man was worried that his apartment had bad feng shui. Don't dare to buy it. No money. It's too expensive. Pushing down prices vigorously. His apartment just hung there. At this time, the kitchen suddenly caught fire. Quite a few things were burned. For this reason, the landlord asked for an increase in rent. It's really a house leak that happens to be raining. The whole studio was suddenly covered in a layer of gloom. There are quite a few actors whispering there. I started worrying that I wouldn't get the money. The good thing is that those students are always motivated. It doesn't matter if you don't get the money. It's time to gain experience.
this day. Suddenly a person walked into the studio. A brocade dress. Said he was willing to invest in the musical. When he came in. Jiang Li is washing vegetables in the kitchen. Since the last time the kitchen caught fire. Xu Liang fired a staff member. Jiang Li volunteered to help in the kitchen. When I heard the news, my heart immediately fluttered. Put down the dish. Walk towards Xu Liang's office. She wondered which investor was so discerning and so well-informed. Ran to invest in this musical.
Just walked to the door. The office door opened. Then I saw Xu Liang walking out with that person. Xu Liang's face looked a little serious. It seems to be pondering a question. The investor, on the other hand, had a calm face.
Jiang Li took a closer look at the investor. I can't help but let my pupils gradually widen. blurted out: "It was you." ”
Yes. It was Jiang Li who was the first investor of Xu Liangla, Jiang Tengyu. Jiang Li felt that he was a person with elegant feelings. Will be interested in musicals. The first one sought him. She thought he would be tempted. As a result, he refused. Three months have passed. She thought that was the end of the matter. I didn't expect him to suddenly appear in front of me.
"You two know each other. Xu Liang asked. The brow frowned slightly.
Jiang Li looked at Xu Liang. looked at Jiang Tengyu again. She sensed Xu Liang's displeasure. I didn't know how to answer for a while.
"You asked him to invest. Xu Liang asked again. The face became even more unsightly.
"I ...... I did ......," Jiang squeaked. She is so able to say that person. At this time, looking at Xu Liang's eyes flashing with anger, he didn't know how to explain.
"Didn't I say you can't talk about it? I don't like irrelevant people coming in and interfering with us. Xu Liang interrupted Jiang Li's words and said. The voice was much harsher than before.
Jiang Li had never seen Xu Liang speak so harshly. I don't know how to speak. Half-open mouth froze there.
"Miss Jiang did contact me in the past. That was a few months ago. At this time, Jiang Tengyu said. "I've always been interested in musicals. I think that's why Ms. Jiang contacted me. She asked me if I was interested in investing in a musical. As soon as I heard that you were a director, screenwriter and starring. Not much interest, really. Because musicals are unpopular. And neither you nor Miss Lin are famous. Of course, I don't want to invest, and it's not just because you're not famous enough. I am also skeptical of your acting skills. But since Miss Jiang told me about it. I often go to see the movies you've made. Listen to the songs you've sang. Although there are many of those scenes where you are not the protagonist. But it doesn't hide your excellent acting skills. As for Miss Lin. Recently, it has been very popular because of "The Poison Queen of the Owl King". I've also listened to her songs. The more you know. The more interested I was in the musical. That's why I'm here today. ”
Xu Liang was not moved when he heard this. With a cold face. "I don't need your investment. ”
Jiang Tengyu grinned. A teasing smile was revealed. said, "What are you worried about? I'm afraid I'll stuff you with actors. I'm still afraid that I'll let you change the script. I can assure you that I will never interfere with your work. If you don't allow it. I don't even have to come here. If you don't feel at ease. These can all be stated in the contract. ”
Hearing this, Xu Liang was silent. Apparently he was a little shaken. He really needs money. Jiang Tengyu's coming to send money at this time is undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow.
Long. Xu Liang looked at Jiang Tengyu and asked, "Then why do you want to invest in this musical." You also know it's not like movies, TV series. You put so much money into it. It's good to get it back. His tone was clearly much softer than before.
Jiang Li was also curious. Raised his eyes to look at Jiang Tengyu. Wonder how he would answer.
