Back in time, when Zhang Li knocked on Lu Yang's door, in another hotel a few streets away, Dao Xinyi, who had just returned, was surrounded by several female companions, asking her what she had seen at the banquet tonight. Lu Yang invited guests tonight, and only invited director Yuan Xuan and a few leading actors, and only Wang Lin and Dai Qingwa were invited to do so.

And Wang Lin is his die-hard book lover, and he is also the main investor of this movie. Dai Qingwa is the assistant director, and he is also a friend in private.

Si Mingjuan and others, who came to participate in the signing and start-up ceremony with Dao Xinyi, were not invited, and watched Dao Xinyi go to the banquet after dressing up, but they and the other three could only stay in the hotel to watch TV, Si Mingjuan and they were naturally very envious in their hearts.

It doesn't matter what you can eat when you participate in such a banquet, the important thing is that you can expand your network and have more opportunities in this industry.

They are very happy to be able to participate in this movie with an investment of tens of millions, and they are also very grateful to Dao Xinyi for taking them by the way when they get the opportunity, but they are grateful, seeing that Dao Xinyi, who usually takes classes and practices dance with them, is valued by the crew, they are inevitably a little jealous in their hearts.

Faced with the questioning of the three people, Dao Xinyi was a little overwhelmed, so he had to say something about what he had seen and heard at the banquet to satisfy their curiosity.

has been entangled by the three of them for more than half an hour, Dao Xinyi got out of her body, and finally could go to take a bath, Shanghai in July was already very hot, go out and come back, Dao Xinyi was already sweating, when she entered the door just now, she wanted to take a bath.

When she came out of the shower, the three women were still watching TV. Seeing Dao Xinyi come out of the shower, Si Mingjuan's eyes lit up, and she said, "Xinyi! Aren't we going to go back with the crew? We've been in Shanghai for so many days, and we haven't gone out properly, so how about we go out for a stroll tonight?"

The crew is about to leave Shanghai, and Dao Xinyi also knows that he heard that the main filming location of the crew is set in their hometown of Y Province, because it is everyspring all year round, picturesque, and has many scenic spots. It's a good fit for the otherworldly setting of this movie.

But Dao Xinyi has just taken a shower, where do you want to go out and suffer?

Hearing this, Dao Xinyi shook his head. While wiping his long wet hair with a bath towel, he said, "Forget it! I'm going to go to you! I've just taken a shower, I'm going to go out for a while, and I'm going to wash again when I come back! It's too troublesome! Go ahead!"

"No, the four of us are good sisters! How can I leave you alone in a hotel. Let's go out and have a good time, let's go, let's go! Good sisters should be blessed together!"

Si Mingjuan's head shook like a rattle. Absolutely not.

The girl named Changping next to her also smiled and said: "That's it! If you don't go, what's the point of the three of us going? Let's go Xinyi! K City is so far away from Shanghai, let's go back this time, and I don't know if we will have a chance to come here in the future! If you don't take this opportunity to go shopping and buy some souvenirs to go back, you will definitely regret it in the future!"

A girl named Li Yunyun came over and held the fragrant shoulder of Dao Xinyi, and also persuaded: "Xinyi! Don't spoil everyone's interest! You are the leading actor, you should have the opportunity to come to Shanghai in the future, we may not have this opportunity in our life! It will not be the leading actor." You won't play with us, will you? Could it be that you're such a person in Xinyi?"

Dao Xinyi: "......"

One mouth, where can you say three mouths?

Dao Xinyi, who had just taken a bath, was helpless. I could only change my clothes and go to the night market with these three friends.

Some encounters are destined, and some encounters are just accidental!

In the previous life, Lu Yang and Dao Xinyi were only one-sided, and after watching her dance at that school party, they never had the opportunity to meet again, but in this life, they have more fate.

Zhang Li took Lu Yang to the Bund, the most famous night market in Shanghai! Dao Xinyi They didn't know where the night market was the most lively, so after getting into a taxi, they asked the taxi driver to take them to the most prosperous night market in Shanghai, so they also came here.

There is no coincidence between the two sides to walk into the same store, Dao Xinyi has no interest in tonight's night market tour, following the three classmates, it is inevitable to look around boredly, while her three classmates are dizzying to look at the brightly lit storefronts, shouting from time to time, Greater Shanghai is indeed much more prosperous than Y Province K City.

There was once a saying on the Internet - in the eyes of the people of Beijing, the places outside the capital are all the countryside, and in the eyes of the people of Shanghai, the places outside Shanghai are all poor areas.

It can be seen that Shanghai is much more prosperous than other places.

K City in Y Province is located in the southwest, Si Mingjuan They are so big, they are only on movies and television, they have seen the bustling Shanghai, and they have seen it with their own eyes tonight, which is naturally more shocking, and the Bund at night is more prosperous and beautiful than the big Shanghai they see during the day.

Si Mingjuan and they are enjoying the beautiful scenery of the night market, but Dao Xinyi is bored looking around, it may be because of her personality, for the prosperity of the outside world, Dao Xinyi always has a sense of detachment, looking at the prosperity around her, she always feels that she does not belong here, but misses the simplicity of her hometown.

It was in this sense of detachment and looking around that she inadvertently saw Lu Yang's figure, and saw him and a beautiful woman wearing denim shorts, revealing two white long legs, holding hands and walking into a bar called "Carnival Tonight" on the street.

By chance, the woman with two long legs suddenly turned around, so that Dao Xinyi recognized that it was not Zhang Li, one of the heroines of the crew?

Si Mingjuan and the others who were walking beside Dao Xinyi did not see this scene, and Dao Xinyi only saw that for a moment, Lu Yang and Zhang Li, who were holding hands, had already walked into the bar.

This scene had a great impact on Dao Xinyi's heart.

She knows that Zhang Li is one of the heroines of this new play, and she is also the heroine of the first movie "The Gate of Rebirth" invested by Lu Yang! Zhang Li is the heroine of the two movies he invested! Before, like many people, she just envied Zhang Li's good luck, there are more beautiful women these years, but there are very few newcomers who can serve as the heroines of two movies in a row.

The scene just now solved the mystery in Dao Xinyi's heart.

Sometimes, it's happier not to know than to know what's going on. When he didn't know the inside story, Dao Xinyi still had a beautiful vision for the future, but he saw the scene just now. She found that her dream of stardom suddenly cracked a few cracks.

Is this what you have to do if you want to be famous?

So why did he give me the role too? Was it really helpful? Or ...... Got a crush on me too?

I heard he has a girlfriend!

"Xinyi, what's wrong with you? Why don't you leave?"

There was a strange inquiry from Si Mingjuan in front, Dao Xinyi was startled, only to find that he was in a daze just now, and subconsciously stopped, Si Mingjuan and the others had already walked to the front.

"Oh, nothing!"

Dao Xinyi hurriedly quickened his pace to keep up with Si Mingjuan and them. Si Mingjuan and the others were still a little curious about what Dao Xinyi was thinking just now, but Dao Xinyi insisted that it was nothing, and they couldn't help it. In the end, I put my mind on the colorful night market.

When I returned to the hotel that night, lying in bed, Dao Xinyi had insomnia, and the scene I saw at the night market tonight always came to mind. The two hands that were holding each other. There are also those two long legs, as well as Zhang Li's face when she suddenly looked back.

Dao Xinyi was sure that she was not wrong, but it was precisely because she was sure that she was not wrong, so she couldn't let go for a long time, she would rather she was wrong.

The good impression that Lu Yang left in her heart collapsed, it turned out that he was such a person.

If it's just an unrelated person, Dao Xinyi can choose not to contact him in the future, but he is the investor of this movie. Not surprisingly, he will also invest in movies in the future. She is just a newcomer, although she is confident in her appearance, but her acting skills are not at all, after this movie, she may not be able to become popular, and she should need his help in the future.

What to do?

In the dark hotel bedroom, Dao Xinyi was lying on the bed, looking at the dark ceiling with his eyes open, unable to make a decision.

……

The next day, Lu Yang returned to his hometown M County, he didn't think about the unspoken 'rule knife' Xinyi, and he didn't know that Dao Xinyi accidentally saw the picture of him and Zhang Li together, helping Dao Xinyi, just hoping that he could occasionally see her figure and see the face that once made him dream.

Although he has opened his heart and no longer entangled in his relationship with Cao Xue, Tong Yaqian, and Rui Xiaoxiu, he does not plan to continue to provoke other women, Zhang Li, is a woman who has already eaten, and if he eats a few more times, there is no psychological pressure on him.

Back in M County, Lu Yang began to do three things.

The first was to ask Wu Shun to help him understand the procedures required to build a small waterworks privately, and the second was to discuss with Chen Yi and let Chen Yi start to pre-sell the houses being built in the south of the city.

Real estate development, pre-sale in advance at the beginning of the start of the house, is a common means for real estate developers, for real estate developers who need to invest tens of millions of dollars at every turn, the funds are never enough.

If you pay out of your own pocket from start to finish, not many real estate businessmen can hold on.

There are generally three tricks that everyone is used to.

The first trick is to get the land and get a mortgage from the bank; the second trick is to subcontract the project to others and let others advance money to build a house for themselves, and before the house is built, they only pay a part of the funds in advance.

As for the third trick, it is pre-sale!

Before the house is built, take the house model made in advance, as well as the house design drawing, and sell it to customers in advance, because the pre-sale house price is cheaper than after the house is built, so it can often attract many people who want to buy a house.

Lu Yang had never played real estate before, but he had never eaten pork, and he had always seen pigs walking. He has already used the first two tricks, and now in order to raise funds for the movie, he thinks of using the third trick.

Chen Yi was a little surprised that Lu Yang had such a business acumen, and after the accident, he was satisfied. No one wants their partner to be a pig, and having business acumen is always something to be happy about.

In addition to these two things, the third thing Lu Yang did was to ask several book fans and authors who had sent him private messages before on Q'Q.

When "The Gate of Rebirth" was a big hit at the box office, these local tyrants who were not bad for money sent him a private message, saying that they wanted to invest in Lu Yang's new movie.

Since these people have opened their mouths, especially those hardcore book fans, Lu Yang always has to ask them what they mean, if the movie loses, it will be fine, if it is made again, when the time comes, these book fans will inevitably think that Lu Yang looks down on them when they watch Wang Lin, who is also a book fan, make money again.

7 book fans plus 5 authors, 12 people together, Lu Yang asked one by one, and finally 6 of the 7 book fans did not change their minds, banknotes lit cigarettes and said that they could invest 1 million, Pan Niu said that 500,000 was no problem, and the other four people also ranged from three to five hundred thousand, and only one book fan said that he did not have enough money recently, saying that he could not participate in the investment.

Of the 5 authors, three of them have lent most of their savings to Lu Yang, saying that they can no longer invest, and the remaining hundreds of thousands will be kept to live.

The other two authors, one is the third young master, said that he could invest 500,000, and the passing sheep also said that he could invest 500,000.

Lu Yang roughly calculated, all the investments of these people are combined, there are already 4.2 million, if they are all accepted, he can only invest 800,000 himself, and the script he wrote, tens of millions of investments, he only needs to invest 800,000?

I can only invest 800,000 yuan, it's definitely not okay!

Let these people invest a little less? There is no need to invest, it seems a bit silly, Chen Yi's pre-sale doesn't know how much money he can get in the end, Lu Yang decided to wait, wait for Chen Yi's pre-sale money to arrive, and then discuss with Wang Lin to expand the investment in this movie, improve the quality of the film a little, and do a better job in publicity!

……

After making a decision, Lu Yang's mind was finally able to put back on his novel, looking at the book review area of "Dragon and Snake Rising from the Land", as well as in the book fan group, more and more people strongly asked for a faster update, and then looked at his new book because the word count was less than 50,000, it was obviously very popular, but it was never on the new book list, Lu Yang finally accelerated the update to two chapters a day.

When Lu Yang decided to speed up the update of the new book, "Dragon and Snake Rise" already had more than 20,000 words, and the update was increased to more than 6,000 words in two chapters per day, but in just five days, the total number of words in "Dragon and Snake Rise" finally exceeded 50,000.

On that day, all those who paid attention to the starting point of the new book list suddenly found that the first position on the new book list had changed hands, and "Dragon and Snake Rising Land", which had just reached 50,000 words, suddenly landed in the first place.

The new book of the passing lamb was stepped on in an instant.

Many people look at the huge numerical gap between the two books, and they can't help but feel a little sympathy for the passing sheep. There is a formula for the starting point of the new book list, which calculates the comprehensive value of each new book, including the weekly clicks, weekly recommendations, weekly number of collectors, and other numbers of the work.

When "Dragon and Snake Rises" landed in the first place, this comprehensive value was more than 800,000, and the new book of the passing little sheep, which originally occupied the first place on the new book list, only had a comprehensive value of more than 280,000.

The gap is too big! The little sheep passing by want to counterattack, but there is no hope. (To be continued......)
