Wang Shicong put on an expression of "I'll see how you explain this."
"Why should I believe you? I haven't even seen your script. Do you think I'd invest in a stranger?"
Wang Shicong tapped on the ground in front of Wang Shu.
Although he had been mocked by many for his stutter since childhood, he wasn't a complete fool.
Even if he could casually spend a million dollars on a seemingly useless script, it wasn't because he was foolish, but because he liked it, and he had the financial capability!
As for this young man named Wang Shu wanting him to invest, he didn't find it very reliable.
After all, such young people often lacked perseverance and weren't very dependable.
Many would dive in headfirst out of impulse, only to give up when the initial fervor faded.
And the invested funds would be lost.
"We have already assembled a professional film crew, and we've found most of the main actors. Most importantly, my drama has the investment of two heavyweight superstars!"
Wang Shu said with confidence, as the names He Yue and Qin Feng should carry some weight.
"Which, which, which two?"
When Wang Shu mentioned that his drama had the investment of two superstars, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Because his father had told him that experience wasn't always accurate.
If this drama truly had the investment of two superstars as Wang Shu claimed, then he might consider investing.
"He Yue, Qin Feng!"
Wang Shu didn't hesitate and stated their names directly.
After all, these two were household names, or at least singers with high recognition.
"He, he, Auntie He? And, and Brother Qin?"
At this moment, Wang Shicong couldn't help but murmur softly.
"So these two are your relatives? Then we're truly family. It would be a huge loss not to invest in this drama!"
Seeing that this young man indeed knew these two seniors, and judging by his address, he seemed quite familiar with them.
"These, these two are my seniors. My relationship with them is generally average, but my father has a good... good, good relationship with them. If they are investing, then it's worth considering!"
Wang Shicong said thoughtfully.
"Then that's simple. You quickly call them and ask if they've invested in a guy named Wang Shu!"
Wang Shu, sensing an opportunity, urged him on.
After hearing this, Wang Shicong directly took out his phone, ready to call He Yue and Qin Feng to inquire.
However, at that moment, a long black Mercedes-Maybach stopped in front of Wang Shu's street stall.
"Young Master, the matter of you studying abroad in Great Britain that the Master arranged has been finalized. When do you intend to depart?"
A middle-aged man in an expensive suit got out of the car and asked Wang Shicong.
"Can't, can't, can't you see I'm busy? We'll talk about these things later!"
Wang Shicong frowned and scolded the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man quickly apologized and then stood obediently to the side, waiting.
Wang Shicong quickly dialed the phones of He Yue and Qin Feng and confirmed Wang Shu's situation with them.
After learning that they had indeed invested in Wang Shu's drama, he hung up the phone with satisfaction.
"You actually know Auntie He and Brother Qin? What's your background?"
After confirming Wang Shu's statement, Wang Shicong looked at him with curiosity.
He was very interested in the background of this young man who knew two superstar singers.
Yet, he was still running a street stall here.
"I'm just an ordinary creator, adept at writing lyrics, screenplays, and even romantic novels!"
Wang Shu grinned and replied.
"Alright, give me one of your business cards. I'll contact you later!"
Although Wang Shicong wasn't entirely satisfied with Wang Shu's answer, he felt that Wang Shu was someone worth getting to know, so he said so.
"Okay, I'll write one for you right now!"
Wang Shu casually tore off a corner of paper, wrote down his contact information, and handed it to the rich second-generation in front of him.
Wang Shicong grudgingly accepted the business card and tucked it into his pocket.
"Wait, wait, wait for my call!"
Wang Shicong, sitting in the Maybach, rolled down the window and said to Wang Shu before driving away.
Watching the yellow-plated Maybach disappear into the distance, Wang Shu couldn't help but sigh.
As expected of the son of the owner of Long Country Film City, his ride alone was worth over ten million yuan.
Then, seeing that no one else was coming to patronize his stall, he decided to pack up and continue the next day.
According to Wang Shu's thinking, if he encountered a rich second-generation like Wang Shicong every day, he felt he could just "lie flat" from now on.
After packing up, Zhang Yimou had already returned to the company.
"Yimou, why are you back so early today?"
Wang Shu asked curiously.
"The film crew is arriving today, and we have to go to the station to pick them up later!"
Zhang Yimou said with a worried frown.
"So what if you pick them up? Why the long face?"
Wang Shu asked, bewildered.
"What are we going to pick them up with? They're all bringing their cameras and various equipment!"
Zhang Yimou spread his hands in helplessness.
"Let's buy a car. Find one that's both cheap and practical!"
Wang Shu thought for a moment and said directly.
Then his gaze fell on a very old but sturdy vehicle across the street from the company.
"What do you think of that one?"
Wang Shu pointed to a Wuling Hongguang parked opposite the company and asked Zhang Yimou.
"Won't that make us look too stingy?"
Zhang Yimou said with a complex expression.
"As long as it works!"
Wang Shu then walked directly across the street, haggled with the owner, and acquired the Wuling for ten thousand yuan.
"Yimou, can you drive?"
Wang Shu suddenly remembered that he didn't have a driver's license in this world, so even if he could drive, he couldn't drive without one.
He then looked at Zhang Yimou and asked.
"Yes..."
"If you can, let's go pick up our little cuties!"
Wang Shu pushed Zhang Yimou into the Wuling and sat in the passenger seat himself.
Although the journey to the station made Wang Shu feel dizzy from the bumps of the old Wuling, he still felt he was a genius at saving money!
When the two arrived at the station, Wang Shu finally met the crew members recruited by Zhang Yimou.
More than ten people were already waiting for them at the station entrance.
However, when Zhang Yimou opened the car door to greet his recruited junior fellow students, several of them looked disgusted.
"Brother Mou, you're picking us up in this thing?"
A girl dressed very fashionably frowned and covered her nose, saying.
"The company has just been established, and the money has to be spent wisely. Everyone, please be understanding!"
Wang Shu rolled down the window and said to the young people.
"Wang Shu? Is that you, Wang Shu?"
As soon as Wang Shu rolled down the window and spoke, the girl's eyes lit up, and she jumped up excitedly, looking at Wang Shu.
The others looked at this scene in confusion.
"I am Wang Shu!"
Wang Shu nodded and admitted.
"I'm your fan! I love your songs, especially 'The Ordinary Road'! And 'Why Not'!"
After receiving Wang Shu's confirmation, the girl ran straight to the car window and cupped Wang Shu's face, saying.
The people present were even more confused. They had never heard of these two songs before!
And who was this Wang Shu? They had never heard his name before either.
"Thank you for your support!"
Wang Shu quickly broke free from the girl's hands, rolled up the window, and said.
This was the first time he had encountered such an enthusiastic fan.
"Brother Mou, who is this?"
The other members of the crew asked curiously.
"This is the screenwriter of our drama, and also the boss of our drama!"
Zhang Yimou introduced directly.
After hearing Zhang Yimou's introduction, the group nodded thoughtfully.
After getting into the car, Wang Shu learned that the enthusiastic girl was named Du Xiaomin, a die-hard fan of his!
She had been following him since he appeared on "Weekly Good Voice."
And then she continued to follow him through "I Am a Singer."
The others in the car finally understood that their boss was quite talented.
Not only could he write lyrics, sing, and compose, but he was also a screenwriter.
And most importantly, this boss was their age.
Thinking of this, their resentment about being picked up in this Wuling dissipated considerably.
After all, for such a young person to have the courage to film a TV series, it was understandable that he would be thrifty.
"Boss, aren't you still recording 'I Am a Singer'? How do you have time to film a TV series on Long Island?"
In the car, the little fan Du Xiaomin asked Wang Shu curiously.
"That's a commercial secret, I can't tell you!"
Wang Shu said mysteriously.
"I'm your employee and your fan! Don't I even have the right to know?"
Du Xiaomin acted cute, nuzzling Wang Shu's arm.
"Alright, actually, I withdrew from that show."
Wang Shu couldn't bear to be tormented by this little vixen anymore and revealed the truth.
"What? You withdrew? Then how can I watch your show?"
Du Xiaomin exclaimed in surprise when she heard that Wang Shu had withdrawn.
"If you want to hear something, can I sing it for you live in the future?"
Wang Shu replied with a smile.
"Really? Boss, you're too kind!"
Du Xiaomin was very surprised to hear that Wang Shu could sing for her live in the future.
"One hundred yuan per song, payable by salary deduction!"
Wang Shu said leisurely.
"?"
Du Xiaomin choked on Wang Shu's next sentence.
"Isn't that too expensive? My salary is only a few thousand yuan, and you still want to deduct it in installments?"
Du Xiaomin said with a pout.
"You didn't ask me not to sing!"
Wang Shu said with a smile.
