Slightly perfunctory. Xia Rui thought so.

"Is this comforting me?"

"Who do you think would think of such a thing as a dream like you now," Ning Xi stretched out his hand to pat Xia Rui's head, but in the end, he turned the action of patting his head into rubbing his head, "How many people graduate from college every year, how many people choose their majors out of liking, many people have begun to mix other ideas when choosing a major, for example, people in the family will choose some more popular ones to find a job when they come out, There are many majors that may not be able to engage in this major even after they come out, for example, many law schools may not all be engaged in the legal profession. Even if I, to be honest, were to ask me if I was doing law out of love, I would say no. ”

"So, in general, it's a comparison of 'the world is so big, I want to see it' and 'I have so little money, I can think about it.'" Xia Rui thought about it and felt really helpless, "I instantly felt that this world was really cruel." ”

"If you say that, then there is no problem, the world is cruel in the first place, not a dream utopia, even if you like this profession and then engage in the job you want, over the years, even if you like it at the beginning, I am afraid that I will not like it." Ning Xi thought for a while and said, "Dreaming is something that only a little girl like you can think of, so I said that this is the confusion of your adolescence, Rui Rui, I originally thought that your secondary two would not come, but I didn't expect you to come a little late." ”

Ning Xi felt that in the second phase of other people's middle school, Xia Rui was still the same, and she didn't make much trouble or cheat, so it turned out that the co-author was waiting here.

"Since your dream is not to be an actor, then don't stay in the entertainment industry, go to school obediently, and apply for a double degree when you are in the second year, and then you will be busy and won't think about anything." Ning Xi said, "And what kind of thing to do in the future, you can think slowly, of course, you can also choose to do nothing, your brother is still very willing to support you for a lifetime." ”

"Then when my sister-in-law enters the door, she may look at me in all kinds of unpleasant ways." Xia Rui said, "Generally, family dramas are played like this, mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and sister-in-law can form a play, and then my brother is the double-sided tape in the middle, well, this is the structure of the most popular family drama in China." ”

As far as your nest is concerned, it is either controlled by your daughter or controlled by your sister, how can this kind of thing happen! Ning Xi thought to himself, but he said: "That's good, when your sister-in-law comes in and sees you unpleasantly, you can come to our house." ”

"Do you want to be your daughter?" Xia Rui smiled, "Will you give me pocket money and New Year's money?" ”

"Why didn't you be my wife?" Ning Xi blurted out, and when he said this, he himself was stunned, he coughed softly, and tried to put his tone as naturally as possible, "In this way, our family will give you pocket money and New Year's money." ”

Xia Rui was originally taken aback by Ning Xi's words just now, but after hearing the second half of Ning Xi's words, she calmed down, "That's not good, my daughter is more favored, and it's okay if I don't want to be my sister." ”

"I think it's still my daughter and my sister who are more favored." Xia Rui said, "My family is now the only one who is still collecting New Year's money and pocket money every year. ”

"That's because you're a girl in your family, and we already have girls in our family, so you just take advantage of the option of daughter and sister, but if you marry me, it's different, you are our little daughter-in-law, don't say it's New Year's money and pocket money, and you have to take care of my salary card." Ning Xi said plausibly, "How about it, do you want to think about my mention?" ”

"That's even worse, I'm too young, can't I delay Brother Ning Xi's youth!" Xia Rui's intuition was to take what Ning Xi said just now as a joke, and in her heart, there was not much difference between Ning Xi and her brother, "At that time, there will be a stalk of an old cow eating tender grass and an old man." ”

"I'm not worried, what are you worried about?" Ning Xi stretched out his hand and poked Xia Rui's head, "When the time comes, you will become our family's little daughter-in-law, it's too late to like you by then, you can't scold, and a bunch of people will have to coax you at that time, do you feel a little excited?" After this village, there is no such land. ”

"It's as if it's true," Xia Rui stroked her forehead that was poked, "Brother Ning Xi, your ascetic personality is completely inconsistent with your current appearance." ”

"Alright, let's go upstairs." Ning Xi waved her hand, and she didn't talk to Xia Rui here, so she hurriedly went upstairs Recently, there is a cold air temperature, which is getting colder and colder day by day, and it is naturally cold after staying outside for a long time.

"Well, Brother Ning Xi, be careful on the way back." Xia Rui waved her hand at Ning Xi, "See you next time!" ”

Ning Xi nodded, watched Xia Rui enter the dormitory door and go upstairs before getting into the car and leaving.

When Xia Rui returned to the bedroom, Wang Wenwen and the three of them hadn't come back yet, she was bored alone, so she simply took the script that she hadn't finished reading yesterday and continued to read, in fact, you have to read the script that was sent, for example, the script sent by some famous directors is much simpler, and the director who is not very famous is basically a careful script, however, some scripts are comprehensive does not mean that they can attract people, although some scripts are small investments, but at a glance, you know that the box office will be bad in the end, If you look at the script, you can't pick out any interest, how can it be interesting.

Pick and choose, Xia Rui is only very interested in a TV drama script of a unit drama type, but she hasn't heard much about the director and screenwriter, she looks like a newcomer, and in terms of scripts, she can actually agree that she can choose a role at will, even if it is the female number one, it is the first time she has encountered this kind of role, and she chooses the script at will, that is, the previous scripts are generally given to her at most one female number two role.

Just thinking about whether to contact Chen Nan, the mobile phone on the desk rang, and after glancing at the phone from Xia Yan, Xia Rui was connected at once.

"Didn't you say that you went to dinner with Ning Xi today, how did you go back to school?" Xia Yan's background seemed to be a little noisy, but it didn't affect the call.

"It's back, Brother Ning Xi sent it back." Xia Rui said.

"That's as it should be, if I don't send you back, will it be difficult for you to come back yourself? How could he be embarrassed to do that? Xia Yan said as a matter of course.

"Yes." Xia Rui said, "Brother, did you have any dreams when you were a child?" ”

Xia Yanleng on the other end of the phone paused, as if he didn't expect Xia Rui to ask such a question, "What's wrong, why do you suddenly ask such a thing?" ”

"Oh, when Brother Ning Xi asked me what I wanted to do in the future today, I suddenly found that I didn't seem to have any goals, and then Brother Ning Xi thought that I might be late for the second half of the second grade, so I wanted to ask you, did you have any dreams in the second and second grades of the previous year?" Xia Rui thought for a while and asked.

"This, in fact, I used to want to have an older brother, isn't it my oldest brother in our family, at that time, the family will always say something to me to make me more humble Ji Lang and Wang Heng's two little rabbit cubs, I am very unconvinced, I thought that if I could have a brother, then someone would be able to humble me." Xia Yan said.

"That's a shame I didn't realize your dream!" Xia Rui said, "Brother, will you feel very sorry, because no matter how much your mother gives birth to you, she will not give birth to a brother." ”

"No, although I don't have an older brother, but after you were born, didn't those two little rabbit cubs be instilled all day long that you can't bully you to be humble and let you do this, from another point of view, looking at those two people can also feel my original feelings, which can be regarded as a curve to complete my original dream." Xia Yan said. It's actually quite interesting to think about it now, especially when he saw that Ji Lang and Wang Heng wanted to oppose it but couldn't oppose it at that time, he was happy in his heart, 'Who made you your brother', this sentence like a spell was also shared by those two people, how could he not feel happy.

Xia Rui couldn't help laughing, thinking that her brother was still so cute, because in her memory, her brother had always been calm and very model, and it turned out that there would be such a second stage of middle school.

"I remember that you also had dreams when you were a child," Xia Yan thought for a while and said, "I remember when you were only four or five years old, and at that time, the people in the family loved to coax you to ask you what you wanted to do in the future." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Xia Rui asked, why didn't she remember.

"Yes," Xia Yan said with certainty, "you were old at that time, and you said three words at that time - you want to live." ”

When she was a child, Xia Rui was so noisy and noisy, and the people in the family always loved to tease her, and that time seemed to be about the same, it seemed that the aunt was teasing and coaxing over there, asking if she wanted to be a little princess or something in the future, and then his father also coaxed him to meet the words that his daughter would marry her father when she grew up, but Xia Rui ignored no one, and the words 'to live' popped out of her mouth, but they were shocked, this is not at all like a little girl will answer.

Of course, at that time, they all laughed and laughed, and even my grandfather couldn't help but laugh and said that Xia Rui is the most understanding person, and only when people live can there be hope. Xia Yan has always been very impressed by Xia Rui's affairs, so after mentioning it, he thought about it, but when he said it, it was mainly funny.

When Xia Yan said this, Xia Rui also remembered this matter, and couldn't help but hold her forehead, feeling that Ning Xi's words were really wrong, and her middle and second grades had always been saved at all.

"Why don't you speak?" Xia Yan saw that Xia Rui had not spoken for a long time, and with a smile in his voice, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you embarrassed to be told about the original black history?" ”

"No, I'm worshipping myself who was so wise back then!"

Xia Rui said that she had already realized such a luxurious dream, didn't she! That can't be considered black history, that's the truth! She didn't think about living a good life at any time, and as for the future, she never planned to do so, so she actually always thought like this now.

"Your Royal Highness the Wise Little Princess, are you still satisfied with your dream?" Xia Yan asked with a smile.

"Very satisfied, give you a good review!" Xia Rui smiled and said, "So, brother, I won't look for a job in the future for you to raise and gnaw the old clan, do you think it's okay?" ”

"Don't say that if you get a job after graduation, you will definitely be able to earn money, and now the Moonlight Clan doesn't know much." Xia Yan said, "After the TV series and variety shows you filmed before were divided with the company and the agent, do you think the remaining part of the money is enough for a high-end dress?" And your time is so unfixed, at most it is a cameo in friendship, you can't make blockbusters, you can't make money in small films, fortunately you don't rely on the entertainment industry to eat, or you can really starve yourself to death. ”

TV and variety shows are hard and the price is not high according to her current coffee position, and there is not much money at all after packaging a season, that is, she is just happy to toss herself.

The boat of affection sinks all at once.

Xia Rui's voice was flat like an electronic sound, "If you say that again, you will lose me sooner or later, do you know?" I'm not an artist, and I think I can be a producer too. ”

Xia Yan chuckled, "Then, when you become a producer, how many investors can you bring in?" With your own money? Then I think you can probably only invest in movies and TV series with a small cost, and the big estimate is not fun, and I don't think you can do it if you pull the investment, of course, if you pull your parents to invest in you, then forget it separately. ”

Xia Yan still doesn't understand, although the family is spoiled, of course, the pocket money every month and the New Year's money at the end of the year are a lot, in order not to develop the habit of profligacy, the family has a certain limit on her monthly consumption limit, and if the amount of one-time consumption exceeds it, it must be agreed by her family or notified in advance, but she basically does not have any large-scale consumption, so she should still have a lot of savings, but if you want to be a producer, it is probably possible to only invest in that kind of small-cost system. The large-cost system is basically impossible to deal with tens of millions of words. This is still domestic, and the cost of foreign film production still has to be calculated in US dollars.

This day is simply unbearable, Xia Rui thought about the money in her bank card, and then thought about the investment in movies and television that Chen Nan had popularized before, and felt that what her brother said was really right.

"Goodbye! I'm going to make money! Xia Rui said to her brother that she decided not to take the initiative to contact him for a period of time, so as not to be stimulated.

Xia Yan saw that Xia Rui hung up the phone, and smiled silently, this little fool, if he didn't raise her, who else could he let support her? It is best to raise it at home for a lifetime.

Xia Yan was not annoyed after being hung up by Xia Rui, and turned his head and called Ning Xi.

"I said you're really staring at this closely, you just sent people back and you pinched it over and called?" Ning Xi said angrily, "Are you staring at Rui Rui all day long?" ”

"Isn't this afraid that if you don't pay attention, you won't know where you will be taken away." Xia Yan said.

"Why, could it be that I can't believe it?" Ning Xi asked rhetorically, "How can I say that I have known your brother and sister for so many years, is it possible that even I can't rest assured?" ”

"Of course." Xia Yan's attitude was very natural, the men who appeared next to his sister were all enemies, how could he rest assured, "Besides, what can you trust me?" "As for the profession of lawyer, I don't know how many twists and turns there are in my stomach, and I will always make myself invincible, so in Xia Yan's thoughts, I didn't think about letting Xia Rui find a partner to be a lawyer in the future, of course, I still need to have a reliable lawyer by my side, which can still be tolerated by him.

From the perspective of a private lawyer, Xia Yan still feels that Ning Xi's storage is still very reliable.

This sister controls!

The corners of Ning Xi's mouth hooked slightly, and said, "You say, how about I chase Rui Rui?" We also know the roots, plus we all know each other, and we can rest assured that we will never let Rui Rui be wronged. ”

"What are you kidding?" Xia Yan interrupted Ning Xi's words, "I told you that you are all old, don't beat our family Rui Rui's idea......"

"Okay, let's drive, let's get back."

Ning Xi couldn't help but want to laugh as soon as he heard Xia Yan's anxious attitude, he knew that there would be such a result, he neatly pinched off the phone, thinking in his heart that Xia Yanna would definitely not be able to sit still now, maybe he didn't know how entangled it was now.

A handful of age? Ning Xi thought about his age, he was indeed a little older than Xia Rui, but he was not at all at the point of being old, and Xia Yan was still older than him, and his younger sister was controlled like this, and he was completely worried about it with his father's sake, so let him worry about it!

Xia Yan was hung up two phones in a row in one night, and now his mood is already terrible, especially what Ning Xi said just now, which made him feel a sense of crisis, shouldn't this kid really call here because he was recently urged to marry by his family? The sincerity of not speaking clearly makes him feel bad!

After Xia Rui selected the script, she found that the unit drama that attracted her the most was the one that attracted her, and this script was also recognized by the three roommates, all of whom said that it was much more attractive than the other scripts, but this script, if you really want to shoot, I am afraid that the shooting time will not be short.

Xia Rui told Chen Nan about his decision, Chen Nan has also read the script, he prefers a movie of a big director, but the important scenes in that movie are basically already selected, at most, it is a chance to show his face in the movie, but it is more in line with Xia Rui's schedule, so after receiving Xia Rui's call, he can't say anything.

And the script selected by Xia Rui is really good, and the plot is also very good, but from Chen Nan's understanding, the director is completely a newcomer, and even the screenwriter is quite unknown, and there doesn't seem to be any investor.

Chen Nan also told Xia Rui what she had learned, Xia Rui thought about it, the direction Chen Nan chose was indeed in line with her current situation, but after reading the script again, Xia Rui still felt that she liked this unit drama more, and finally decided to ask Chen Nan to ask someone out to talk, of course, Chen Nan's agent was also called when talking.

The place that Chen Nan agreed with people was in a relatively secluded teahouse, which was very quiet, with green bamboo planted in the yard, and there were guzheng performances on the spot.

When Xia Rui and Chen Nan arrived, the other party had already arrived, and the two of them were also very distinctive, the director was slightly fat, but the screenwriter was slightly thin, and the age of the two was about thirty years old, so they still seemed a little nervous.

In fact, this script is not the first time that the two of them have voted for a film and television company, and there are also those who like it, basically they dislike that the two people are not famous, so most of them want to buy the script and shoot it themselves, and the better ones are willing to let people enter the group as an assistant director, and hang a name on the screenwriter, almost because they want to buy the script directly, there is no naming right, and when the time comes, they will hang up a more famous screenwriter, but the two of them bite it tightly and don't agree to anything. Not to mention that the larger film and television companies are like this, even most of the studios of some stars still have this attitude, they all think that the script is not bad, but unfortunately it is not famous.

When it was sent to Xia Rui, it was also a case of casting a wide net, and the two of them actually didn't have any hope, but when they received Chen Nan's call to make an appointment to meet, the two of them were also a little confused.

In fact, this scene is not the first time I have seen it, at most it is just a problem of failure, in fact, they don't have the basic framework of their current crew, and there are no producers and investors, even if Xia Rui is really willing to act, according to Xia Rui's current coffee position, it is still a question whether the investor can be brought in, and I don't know if it will work if it will be possible to start filming.

Xia Rui is not very old, and the two of them didn't plan to hide it from her, so they simply told the people the truth about it, after all, it was not interesting to hide it from a little girl.

"So, you're just the two of you on your team right now?"

Xia Rui also heard about it from Chen Nan, but after meeting, she found out that the so-called "poor crew" that Chen Nan told him before was really polite, this is no longer the concept of "poor crew", this is not even the crew has been built yet, okay!

"Yes," the director's surname is Gao, tall and chubby, but he is also quite honest, "We haven't found an investor to invest in this drama, in fact, when we handed you this script, we actually wanted to see if we could get someone to invest." ”

"Huh?" Xia Rui understood as soon as she heard this, "Xia Yan? ”

Screenwriter Tian nodded, and his lean and lean face looked like there was a sequelae of too frequent nightlife, "Actually, it's not that there are no companies that have taken a fancy to this script, but most of them hope that we can sell the script, but the fat man and I are not in this circle for a day or two, the fat man has also been in many crews, from scene notes, lighting engineers and the like to assistant directors, I have also worked for other editors for a long time, and I have also done drama writing for other editors before." This script was conceived by me and the fat man, and we also wanted to make a drama of our own, so we didn't plan to sell the script just like that. ”

Think about it, the script is indeed well written, and there must be people who like it, but they may not be able to accept two people with little reputation as members of the main team, famous directors and screenwriters are a point of hype, just like the film industry, there was a predecessor who said that the domestic film market is sluggish, among which there are good directors who have no funds and can't make their favorite movies, and the TV industry is the same, so Xia Rui can also understand the importance that these two people attach to their scripts, but they are helpless about reality. Most of the famous actors are willing to play in the plays of some well-known directors.

For their not-so-loud crew, let alone unwilling, they can't afford it.

"Actually, I won't hide it from you, we didn't think you would take on this drama, we also know that you are still a student now, you really want to devote yourself to filming, if you star in a unit drama, it would be better, if you are the female number one, you really can't afford this time." Gao Fatzi also said honestly, really, don't look at the role they said when they sent the script, they could pick the role casually, but if they really want to shoot, Xia Rui is really not the choice of the female number one in their hearts, nothing else, that is, people can't spare time at all, this script is full, it will take at least two months to shoot, and students from non-film and television schools are really not the option in their minds.

“……”

Xia Rui really wants to scold her mother in her heart, you are using the script to trick me! Now I know to be honest, why didn't you think to tell me the truth when I first sent the script! This is the latest version of the teasing for you!

"If you shoot according to your script, have you calculated how much investment you need? Are you looking for a more famous actor to shoot, or are you looking for a newcomer? Xia Rui asked, "Is the actor going to be cast?" Or do you want to look for it in the major film and television schools? ”

“……”

The two of them listened to Xia Rui's question, and still didn't understand what she meant, the situation was already so bad, could she still have any ideas? It is said that even if her coffee seat is not big, at least there will be other scripts that can be accepted, right?

"Tell me, I see you've all sent me scripts, I can always ask you what you plan, right?" Xia Rui said, "I read the script quite well, so I want to ask you about your plans, anyway, the situation can't be worse than now, what do you say?" At most, you end up selling the script. ”

When the two thought about it, it was indeed the case, and the situation could not be worse than now, and the worst consequence was to sell the script completely.

In fact, Gao Fatzi and screenwriter Tian have also carefully calculated that according to the current situation of the two of them, it is probably impossible to invite those too famous actors to participate, in order to control the cost, film and television school students are a good choice, the price will not be too high, of course, if there are better investors willing to invest, the producer will be better if he has the ability, the two of them together have not saved much money over the years, if you want to shoot not too badly, if you control it strictly, It also costs at least five million, but according to the current domestic market, there is probably no need to consider the first-tier stations, as long as you can fight for the second and third lines, and there are also online ratings.

It's just that for famous directors and screenwriters, the investor's investment of five million is just a drizzle, the investment of tens of millions in fashion dramas is normal, and the cost of an episode may be two or three million.

Xia Rui thought about it, she had the money, she really liked this script, otherwise she wouldn't have called people out, but she wasn't particularly familiar with investment, so she had to go back and ask, the point was that if she wanted to use a large share of the money, she had to talk to her family.

"Well, I'll go back and think about it, and I probably won't think about selling the script when I look at you," Xia Rui said, "I'll decide whether to be your investor or not after I've thought about it,"

The tall fat man and Tian were also a little embarrassed, "That, even if you become an investor at that time, we may not let you be the female number one, but if you really want to be, the cost just said may not be enough......"

If Xia Rui wants to bring money into the crew to shoot and play the female number one, it will definitely lengthen the filming time, for the crew, filming is costing money every day, and the longer it is pulled, the greater the cost.

"I know," Xia Rui hated, "I will remember that you cheated me in this matter, and I really thought that I would pick all the roles, but it turned out that you are white wolves with empty gloves!" ”

Gao Fatzi and screenwriter Tian were also a little embarrassed, weren't they just casting a wide net at that time, where could they take care of so much, but I really didn't expect that there would really be a fish in this net.
