12. Funds in place
"Coming back?" The old man put out his cigarette when he saw Ye Sumang, and his frowning brows were relaxed.
Ye Sumang didn't answer, just nodded and sat down next to the old man.
"Alas, in a turn of time, you are also older." Old Man Ye stared at Ye Sumang for a moment, as if he was relieved and nostalgic, and then sighed for a long time and said, "When the child is older, he should also have an ideal, you can take this." ”
After speaking, a crimson passbook was handed to Ye Sumang's hand. When I opened it, there were 600,000 yuan inside.
"Grandpa, how come you have so much money?" Staring at the numbers above, Ye Sumang's eyes flashed with surprise instantly, and he looked at Ye Xian with some puzzlement.
"Su Mang, I never seem to have shown you a picture of your mother, did I?" Old Man Ye didn't answer positively, but suddenly asked a completely unrelated question.
Ye Sumang nodded, and immediately remained silent, this is what he has not understood, when he was a child, he wanted to ask his grandfather for a photo of his mother many times, but his grandfather either avoided it every time, or refused indifferently, but he didn't expect his grandfather to ask this question first.
"Actually, I don't show you the photos for a reason." Old Man Ye pondered for a moment, and continued with a somewhat sad expression: "You actually look very similar to your mother, very similar, like carved out of a mold. Especially as I get older, this resemblance often makes me hallucinate. Sometimes, when you walk into the house from the outside, I look inside the house, and I think it is the way Xiaohui looked when she came home and asked me to cook for her. The reason why I collected all the photos of Xiaohui from childhood to adulthood is that I don't want you to look in the mirror every time you seem to see your deceased mother, I am afraid that you will be sad. ”
"Xiaohui has been very smart since she was a child, and her personality is also very stubborn, which you are very similar to her. Her dream since she was a child was also to be a director, and she was also the first female student to be officially admitted to the Kyoto Film Academy, she should have a very good future, but unfortunately everything was ruined by that person! ”
"Do you know what your mother's greatest regret is? I remember Xiaohui in the hospital bed, holding my hand and saying that she... said that she really wanted to make a movie of her own......" said this, her grandfather's eyes were already shining with tears: "That is her lifelong dream, I have been listening to her since I was a child, but unfortunately she has no way to ......complete it"
"Ah......" exhaled deeply, the old man secretly wiped away the cloudy tears in the corners of his eyes, and hobbled towards the bedroom, not stopping until the door, turning his head to look at Ye Sumang, who was also in tears, and said seriously: "You must be good haode to shoot, because you also carry your mother's dream..."
Ye Sumang wiped his tears fiercely, nodded firmly, and the hand holding the passbook was clenched even tighter, and the back of his hand was covered with green tendons. He feels that his confidence has never been so firm, he must make a haode movie, and he must make more excellent movies for everyone to see! And it is also for my mother who is in heaven!!
Tossing and turning, Ye Sumang didn't gradually fall asleep until the second half of the night, he had a dream, in which he held a lot of movie films, and sat with his mother in heaven to watch the movies he made, his mother put her arms around his shoulders, and at that moment he felt very warm, very warm.
The next morning, Ye Sumang was woken up by a text message from Huang Bo, which told him to wait for him at the teahouse in front of the film academy.
After washing up, Ye Sumang casually put on a coat and stepped out of the door, and when he came to the teahouse, he found that Huang Bo was already waiting there, and his eyes were red, obviously he hadn't rested all night.
As soon as Ye Sumang sat down, Huang Bo handed over a red book, which turned out to be a passbook.
"I thought about it, we still can't let the money be stumped. The 200,000 yuan in this passbook is what I have earned in the past few years, not much, and I think it must be not enough to make a movie, but you take it first, and the rest of us brothers can find a way together, isn't it? ”
Huang Bo said it very easily, but Ye Sumang, who had already opened the passbook, was still deeply moved.
The above number shows that this passbook has been saved for five years, and the date on it is exactly this morning.
Ye Sumang was not stupid, and quickly guessed that Huang Bo not only took out his own family, but also borrowed foreign debts, in order to support his own movie, a friend who had only been together for a few days, treated himself so heartily, how could Ye Sumang not be moved.
Ye Sumang did not hypocritically refuse Huang Bo's kindness, but silently collected the passbook, because he really needed the money.
"I won't say anything about Xiexie, Lao Huang, I will definitely not let your investment go down the drain. Now the problem of money is almost settled, yesterday my grandfather gave me 600,000 yuan, plus your 200,000 yuan, as long as we find another 200,000 yuan investment, we can prepare the crew. ”
"Really!?" When Huang Bo heard that Ye Sumang had taken out 600,000 yuan silently, he immediately shouted out in surprise: "Then what are you waiting for, let's hurry up and think about whether there is a way." ”
Ye Sumang's face was calm, not as anxious as Huang Bo, because he had already thought of a way.
Seeing that Ye Sumang was still drinking tea with a relaxed face, Huang Bo's throat was about to dry up, and at this moment, Ye Sumang's phone suddenly rang.
What was displayed on the screen was a series of numbers, obviously an unfamiliar number, but Ye Sumang was sure that the call must have been from his future mentor Xie Fei.
"It's Xiao Su Mang, we have already read the script of your application for 'Young Director Support Jihua', and the tutors of the college are quite satisfied, when do you have time, come to the school to apply, and I will report it to you."
"Grandpa Xie, I'm at the school gate now, I'll rush over immediately."
"Okay, you know where my office is, I'll wait for you here." After speaking, Xie Fei hung up the phone.
In Xie Fei's office, he hung up the phone and was looking at a graduation photo hanging on the wall with a nostalgic gaze, a bright figure among the boys was very conspicuous, it was a girl with short hair, her temperament was very heroic, and what was even more amazing was that this girl's appearance was seven or eight points similar to Ye Sumang.
At the end of the teahouse, Ye Sumang, who hung up the phone, quickly told Huang Bo the good news brought by Xie Fei.
"Brother, it's powerful enough, how can you think of a way so quickly?" Huang Bo couldn't help but sigh after hearing this. If this kind of thing is put on him, he will either be angry or panicked, like Ye Sumang, who solved a sum of money without hurrying, thinking that without the sponsorship of his family and his own savings, he can slowly raise the money for filming the movie.
Ye Sumang didn't say anything, just smiled confidently.
With brisk steps, the two came to the door of the Kyoto Film Academy, Huang Bo came to take the exam, and Ye Sumang went straight to the teaching building of the directing department after sending him to register.
Xie Fei's grandfather had brought him to his office before, so with his memory, he quickly found the mottled office door.
"Tuk-tuk-"
Knocking lightly on the door and waiting for a while, Ye Sumang soon heard Xie Fei's voice letting him in. When he opened the door, Ye Sumang was a little surprised, there was not only Xie Fei inside, but also a young man standing in front of Xie Fei, holding the materials in his hand, and he was turning his head to look at himself with a very strange gaze.
