As a well-known comedy director in the TV circle, Shang Yunyan is very short of money.

Don't look at his fame, but his salary has not been high.

Especially when I was in Cold Rock Culture before, 45% of the salary had to be handed over to the company, and although the rest was much higher than the income of ordinary people, it was only considered a medium income in the TV circle.

After the contract with Lengyan Culture expired, Shang Yunyan pulled a vote of people out to set up a studio on his own.

This studio has almost wiped out his savings, and now the studio's account is full of more than three million left.

If you count the investment that Shang Yunyan expects to be able to pull, his next drama currently only has a budget of eight million.

Shang Yunyan has been filming TV series for many years, and he can probably calculate the cost of a drama.

According to Zhou Lin's proposal, if 20 episodes are filmed in the first season of "Wulin Gaiden", Zhou Lin's script salary alone will be 3 million.

Although "Wulin Gaiden" is a sitcom, the cost is the lowest among all TV series, but a crew's actors, crew, venues, props, and all kinds of places to spend money have gone.

Five million is enough to prepay part of the actors' salaries and staff's salaries, and it is almost the same to set up the scene of the Tongfu Inn.

Next, we have to find at least 300 to 5 million funds to ensure the smooth filming of "Wulin Gaiden".

This is still the case that Shang Yunyan directed for free, and some actors such as Liu Tao starred at a friendly price, otherwise the cost would be higher!

Shang Yunyan was worried about where to find the remaining three or five million, so Zhou Lin took the initiative to invest in the script salary, of course he was happy!

What's more, Zhou Lin's investment is not just as simple as giving money, but also means that Zhou Lin has become a community of interests with his studio since then, which has too many benefits for the future development of the studio!

Shang Yunyan was overjoyed and said, "Zhou Lin, I can take what you said seriously!"

Zhou Lin thought that Shang Yunyan would be very jealous of foreign capital when he opened his own studio, but he didn't expect him to welcome it like this, and couldn't help laughing: "Director Shang, I'm in a hurry to use money recently, and I can't invest too much." I can only give you a million at most. You're not too little, are you?"

Zhou Lin really wants to invest more, because "Wulin Gaiden" is simply a project that makes money without losing money, and the more he invests now, the more he will earn in the future.

But who made him anxious to use the money, so he could only invest a little less. Anyway, there are many projects that can make money in the future, but there is only one magazine with messy equity, "Science Fiction Literature".

"Charcoal in the snow. This number is a little more than Shang Yunyan estimated, and he is more and more happy.

One is willing to invest, the other is willing to accept, the more the two talk, the happier they become, if it weren't for the age difference, they would almost have to worship.

Even so, after the two of them had almost drunk, Shang Yunyan took a bite of "Brother Zhou", and Zhou Lin also had a mouth full of "Brother Shang", giggling at Liu Tao, who was slightly sober on the side.

Zhou Lin caught a glimpse of Liu Tao's smile, and blurted out with a strong sense of wine: "Sister Liu, you are so beautiful." That man doesn't know how to cherish it!"

Liu Tao didn't expect Zhou Lin to say this, and no man was so abrupt in front of her, so she blushed for a while and said, "What are you talking nonsense!"

Shang Yunyan smiled drunkenly on the side: "Brother Zhou is right, Liu Tao, your ex-husband is a blind man." I'll introduce you to a reliable one when I go back, and I'm sure he'll be better than that guy!"

The conversation ended in the midst of all sorts of drunken talk.

Shang Yunyan was drunk, Zhou Lin and Liu Tao were still sober, and sent him back to the hotel room first.

After settling Shang Yunyan after a busy job, Zhou Lin walked out of the room covered in sweat, fanned the wind with his hands, and said, "It's so hot." ”

Liu Tao hesitated for a moment and said, "Teacher Zhou, my room is next door, do you want to wash your face?"

Zhou Lin didn't think much about it, nodded and said, "It's troublesome." ”

The two entered Liu Tao's room, and Zhou Lin went into the bathroom to wash his face, feeling much more comfortable.

When he walked out of the bathroom, the air conditioner was already blowing in the room, and he felt like he was all over.

Liu Tao was sitting on the edge of the bed looking at his mobile phone, and when he heard the sound, he raised his head and said, "Is it better?"

"It's much cooler. Zhou Lin said.

After saying that, the room fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little strange.

A divorced young woman, a young man, a lonely man and a widow stay in a hotel room, the dim light is ambiguous, always giving people a hint that something is going to happen.

If it is a bloody romance drama, at this time, Bacheng is going to have a kiss scene.

Fortunately, life is not a bloody drama, Liu Tao suddenly said: "Teacher Zhou, I have my own opinion on the role of the shopkeeper Tong, can you listen to it?"

"Oh, you say. Zhou Lin said.

Liu Tao actually took out a small notebook, and after opening it, she talked about her thoughts about the shopkeeper Tong one by one.

Zhou Lin only gave the script for three episodes, the whole story was not fully developed, some characters were still in development, Liu Tao actually saw some follow-up developments from the stories of the first three episodes, which surprised Zhou Lin very much.

After Liu Tao finished speaking, Zhou Lin applauded and said, "Sister Liu, you are too dedicated, or you can write the script later." ”

Liu Tao said embarrassedly: "How can it be so exaggerated as you say." ”

Her shyness at this moment fell in Zhou Lin's eyes, and she couldn't help but look stupid, and said in a ghostly manner: "Sister, you are so beautiful." ”

This is the second compliment in one night.

The first time at the wine table, I was drunk and just a joke.

This time, it was in a hotel room, a young man and a mature woman, and there was a forbidden smell in the air.

Liu Tao was a little panicked, and hurriedly got up and said, "It's not early, that ...... It's time for me to rest, too. ”

Only then did Zhou Lin realize his gaffe, and secretly scolded himself for being too embarrassed, and he was reborn again, how could he see a beautiful woman so slippery?

"It's time for me to go. Zhou Lin hurriedly said.

Walking to the door, Zhou Lin scratched his head and turned around and said, "Hmm...... Sister Liu, if you want to play this role well, it's best to find a teacher to learn the Northwest dialect well. If you can speak the dialect well, this role is half the battle. ”

"I will!" Liu Tao nodded vigorously.

Zhou Lin left, Liu Tao closed the door, hesitated and walked into the bathroom.

She looked at herself in the mirror, turned around, smiled again, and grimaced.

Then she whispered to herself in the mirror: "You are beautiful, you have to come on!"

On this night, many people couldn't sleep.

Some people reminisce about the star concerts they watched during the day, some people beat their chests for the loss of big news, some people ponder the lines of the script, and some people miss their beautiful sister.

Early the next morning, Zhou Lin changed into a new pair of pants in annoyance, thinking that it would not work like this, and he had to find a girlfriend********!
