Chapter 112 Money Debt, Love Debt
“Yes, I understand.”
“Leave the money matter to me, don’t worry.”
Under the moonlight, Cheng Hao put down his phone and sobbed softly.
She leaned on a bare tree trunk with fallen leaves, and her whole body slowly slid down weakly until her legs gave out and she squatted on the grass covered with dead leaves.
"Good sister, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Yuan walked out from behind her.
Seeing him appear, Cheng Hao stood up stubbornly and wiped the tears on his cheeks with the back of his hand.
“It’s okay.”
“It’s okay, I’m crying like this.” Zhang Yuan choked the script on his belt: “Tell me about it, it will make you feel better. Besides, only Speak up and everyone can help.”
When Cheng Hao heard this, his eyes turned red, he covered his mouth with his hand, and while sobbing again, he started talking intermittently.
"My dad... is not in good health."
"He has been hospitalized. Last time...he got better after the operation...that's why I came to make this film."< br>
“But my mother told me a while ago that the new test results were not good, and I have to undergo the next stage of treatment.”
“But all my previous salary has been spent. ”
Oh, it turns out that this is the reason for her strong anger.
My father is seriously ill and needs treatment. No child can avoid getting angry.
At this point, Cheng Hao has already burst into tears.
Excluding literary and artistic films, "The Legend of Lu Buwei", "Li Wei is an Official", "Pink Girl", these are just a few popular dramas, and she has earned at least millions in salary.
If you include other things, the sum of them is enough for her to buy a small courtyard house in the imperial capital.
But for ordinary people, this is already a huge savings, but in the face of the old father's illness, it seems to be a drop in the bucket.
She has tried her best, and she did not even plan to play the role of "heartthrob", but faced with the salary of hundreds of thousands offered by the crew, she chose to compromise.
The reason why I took on "Dragon" this time was because I spent all my previous salary to treat my father's illness and saw initial results, so I decided to actually act in a movie for myself instead of just for the salary.
After all, only one person knows how bad a bearded man can be.
Hu Jundu only paid 300,000 yuan, and Cheng Hao's salary was less than 100,000 yuan.
Of course, if Cheng Hao wants to make money, it shouldn't be too easy.
Mr. Wu of Chengtian stared at her all day long. If she was willing to take off her clothes and sign a multi-year contract with Chengtian, even one million would be paid in minutes, let alone one hundred thousand.
But she is a very stubborn woman. If she was willing to be someone else's canary, she would have done so long ago.
"Treatment is a major matter and cannot be delayed. How much money are you short of now." Zhang Yuan spoke after hesitation.
As the saying goes, talking about money hurts feelings, and talking about feelings hurts money.
After careful consideration, he felt that Cheng Hao was quite reliable and would develop well in the future. It was definitely worth spending a little money to form a good relationship.
Besides, I haven’t been in urgent need of money recently.
More importantly, he understands the human suffering of having a child who wants to be raised but cannot be cared for.
Cheng Hao stopped crying and wiped away his tears again, his makeup was all gone.
"It's useless to tell you. You, a young actor, have no money."
"It's really not much more. We can still make up a dozen or two hundred thousand." Zhang Yuan made an estimate.
Although it took a lot to open the lunch box restaurant, the business has been very good in the past few months, and I have already made money back. Plus the 50,000 red envelopes given to me by Zhao Decai, I can almost have this.
"You...really have that many?" Cheng Hao was shocked by Xiao Xiao.
She never thought that Zhang Yuan, a boy who had only been in business for a year, could save so much money.
She only received a salary of more than 10,000 yuan in the first year of her debut, and she already felt very satisfied.
The era was different, and she was filming artistic films, so her pay was low.
In addition, Zhang Yuan is really hard-working, filming three or four movies a year, and has a side job, which is certainly more than the average newcomer.
"Is it enough?"
"Enough for the first stage of treatment to last until I get paid for this film." Cheng Hao's eyes lit up with hope: "But , I won’t be able to pay it back within a year.”
“It’s okay, I can pay for it with my body.” Zhang Yuan joked.
"Really?" Cheng Hao suddenly took a few serious steps forward, and the distance between the two shortened to less than half a meter.
"Could this be your way of confessing, by throwing money at it?"
Zhang Yuan:? ? ?
He didn't understand what the other party meant, but at this moment Cheng Hao stood on tiptoes and tried his best to climb as high as possible so that he was eye level with him.
"Taotao told me that you don't want to get involved in their affairs because you have always had a crush on me and want to confess to me."
This bitch has such a big mouth, she talks about everything.
These words were the excuse he made at that time.
But in this situation, it would be too ignorant to deny it.
He could only nodded numbly.
Cheng Hao, who still had tears on his face, finally showed a smile and said angrily: "Are you stupid? What if I don't pay you back? All the money you finally saved will be lost." The water is floating.”
"If it's you, it doesn't matter if I pay it back or not." Zhang Yuan replied with high emotional intelligence.
It is better not to repay. Money debts are easy to repay, but human debts are difficult to repay.
Cheng Hao's heart palpitated, like a horse running wildly in all directions.
The pair of deep fox eyes flickered several times, and the brilliance became more intense. But after a few seconds, her cheeks turned red and she lowered her head.
He is younger than me, why do I dare not look into his eyes...
Am I being tricked?
"Thank you." After a while, she spoke again.
[Received thanks from Cheng Hao, acting +3, appearance +3, figure +2, calligraphy +6, flute +5, dance (ethnic dance) +4! 】
If you don’t say that people can become famous, they know a lot.
With these attributes and this favor, he is not at a loss.
A small north wind blew by, and Cheng Haoliang shrank his neck. Perhaps the crying just now had already consumed too much energy.
Or maybe she was exhausted mentally and physically from taking on the family responsibilities alone.
In a daze, she wanted to find someone to rely on.
Cheng Hao's body softened and she fell into his arms, like a kitten nestling against the stove.
My mother, there is an unexpected gain!
Not only did I not lose money, I also made a lot of money.
The air in the forest is cool, but their hearts are warm.
Zhang Yuan's hands are cold, but the beauty's body in his arms is warm.
Qu Yuan once said: I will search high and low.
Zhang Yuan respected Qu Yuan very much.
So while there was no one around, Zhang Yuan searched up and down Cheng Hao for a while.
It can be summed up in three words.
Big, soft and slippery.
In every sense of the word.
What is satin and which is silk? They are not as soft and smooth as the skin of a young woman's back.
"Oh, filming is about to begin, someone will come to see us." Seeing that the situation was not good, Cheng Hao hurriedly pulled his hand out of his underwear.
Zhang Yuan shrugged, almost experiencing the happiness of Hu Jun and Liu Tao.
Question Brother Jun, understand Brother Jun, he almost became Brother Jun just now. But Cheng Hao is different from Liu Tao in that he is relatively traditional and cannot be forced.
"Okay, let's go back." Zhang Yuan knew that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
"Wait a minute." Cheng Hao glanced at him angrily, and used his cold palms to cool down his cheeks: "Please let me slow down..."
After resting for about ten minutes, they went to take pictures. Walk to the scene.
Zhang Yuan also thought, I haven't transferred the money to her account yet, so if I "open up the permissions" in advance, won't I be afraid of being used for nothing?
He didn't know that money was important, but in Cheng Hao's heart, how much money he was willing to spend for her was more important.
Like Mr. Wu from Chengtian, it would be easy to give Cheng Hao one million, two million, or even five million.
In later generations, this person swallowed up Jiahe Film and went public through a backdoor, becoming the first listed entertainment company in mainland China.
A few million dollars is just a drop in the bucket for Wu Kebo.
Cheng Hao knew that although Zhang Yuan could not afford millions, he could not even afford hundreds of thousands.
But these hundreds of thousands are already his entire property.
Will Wu Kebo devote all his assets to himself?
Moreover, it is easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide help when the time is right.
Zhang Yuan's heart was what touched her the most, and it had nothing to do with how much money he spent.
Girls in their teens and twenties are easy to deceive. They are not as firm as steel, nor as rational as computers. After all, they are easily swayed by emotions.
Many female stars get married in their twenties and get divorced in their thirties. After that, they focus on making money without any distractions. Women at this stage have become very strong and utilitarian, and their lives are rarely touched.
Just like Liu Xiaoli, the evil businessman behind her worked hard to help Sissi with money, and even yelled at her, but could not completely impress this charming aunt.
The two came back just in time, and the crew was ready to start filming.
Everyone was very professional and the shooting went smoothly.
But as a director, Ju Jueliang was a little surprised.
“Zhang Yuan’s fighting scene tonight seemed to be particularly energetic and overbearing, as if he had nowhere to vent his passion.”
“The fighting was more vigorous than usual.”
"Hiss, things are going to be different this time."
"The condition was very bad during the afternoon shooting."
"The scene where the foot was licked required Zhang Yuan's help to complete the shooting. "
"But now he looks so energetic and radiant, he looks completely different from what he looked like in the afternoon!"
Ju Jueliang touched his double chin: "Zhang Yuan's massage is perfect! Is adjusting the status so effective? ”
"Why don't I ask him to massage it someday."
He didn't know that Zhang Yuan didn't just massage the acupuncture points on the soles of Cheng Hao's feet.
From Lingxu, Shenfen, to Qi Chong, Qu Gu, he pressed all the major acupoints up and down the human body...
Natural Gate's kung fu is so good~
Nevertheless, Zhang Yuan transferred the money to Cheng Hao's card.
Despite repeated obstruction, Cheng Hao still stubbornly signed an IOU for him and promised to return the principal with interest.
Then he asked for leave from the crew and went to the hospital to take care of his father.
Fortunately, 90% of her scene has been completed, and after slight adjustments, it will have little impact on the progress.
Before leaving, Cheng Hao held his hands and rubbed his hair for a while. After getting into the car reluctantly, he lay on the car window and kept waving to him until the figure turned into a blur of black dots. ...
Back on the set, the next few days were peaceful. It was just a break from filming, which was no longer difficult for him.
When they had free time, Li Yu and the others would take him and tell stories.
However, the scene of shit and urine that day was still fresh in his memory, and it almost left a psychological shadow.
Every time he tells a story, he will constantly observe the faces of everyone present. If there is a slight change, he will be ready to run away with a bucket.
Big Beard kept his word and handed over the lunch box business of the entire crew to him.
Not only that, but he also introduced him to the business of several Imperial City crews, which was regarded as a reward for keeping the matter of "Sima Guang smashing the vat" a secret.
However, unlike Zhou Xiaowen, this one took all the kickbacks Zhang Yuan gave Lao Zhang according to the rules.
Zhang Yuan is not disgusted, the bundling of interests is beneficial to him.
It also brought him closer to Big Beard.
Even Zhang Jizhong pretended to be a cousin and would often call him over when having meals with the crew.
On this day, Big Beard, Yuan Bing, Zhao Jian, and Ju Jueliang were all eating under a tent, and Zhang Yuan was also present.
"Director Zhang, I have contacted you about the theme song."
"Naying and Sun Nan want 1 million, but the copyright must belong to them."
"Lin Zhiying can sing, and so can the copyright It belongs to us, but the asking price of 3 million is a bit too high and not worth it.”
The bearded man curled his lips, 3 million, why don’t you grab it.
“Have you contacted Wang Jingwen?” Zhang Jizhong picked up a piece of fried kidney and his mouth was filled with oil.
"This..." Ju Jueliang was stunned and looked troubled.
“Speak directly if you have anything to say.”
“She wants 20 million...”
Cough, cough cough...
“Director Zhang, Zhang Director, hurry up, I’m choked!”
As soon as Ju Jueliang finished speaking, the bearded man almost choked on a ball of rice and could not recover.
I spent more than 3,000 to make this film...
After resting for a long time, I drank some sheep whip soup to make my beard smooth and firm.
"Jingwen is different from other singers. Her attitude is a bit arbitrary." Fatty Ju looked sad.
“I know, in the words of the imperial capital, she is a bit ‘various’ and has a weird temper.” The bearded man smiled helplessly.
"When I called her, she was very impatient and quoted the price casually."
"I heard the sound of shuffling cards on the phone. She should be playing mahjong at the time."
"The reason I quoted this price is not because I am greedy for money, but because I simply want to reject us." Ju Jueliang expressed his judgment.
"I asked someone to ask, she has been playing mahjong for more than three months and has not worked a day."
"But she is my favorite." Bearded Touching his beard.
02 Last year, Wang Jingwen just won the honor of being the highest-selling Cantonese female singer in history with a total sales of 9.7 million with the best album "You Faye Wong So Me Faye Wong".
She was also nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for "The Unparalleled".
Her sunburn makeup style has become a memory of an era.
At that time, Wang Jingwen was in a state of "alone and seeking defeat".
With both hands in his pockets, he never encountered an opponent.
It is precisely because of her popularity that Big Beard, who loves publicity, wants her to sing the theme song for his TV series.
Ju Jueliang has even been asked to go to Hong Kong Island to contact Lin Xi, the lyricist of Zhou Huajian's "The Hard Sutra", the theme song of the Hong Kong version of "Tian Long Ba Bu".
Big Beard said he didn’t like the Hong Kong version, but he was actually very stubborn. He quite approved of the theme song of that version, otherwise he wouldn’t have gone to Lin Xi.
"Well, let's keep grinding. This woman is really difficult to handle and is very troublesome." Wang Jingwen is one of the people who can't even grow a beard.
How about being strong without desire?
At this time, Zhang Yuan, who was sitting in the corner of the dining table and listening to the whole process without making a sound, raised his arms with a smile.
"Director Zhang, Director Ju, if it is Wang Jingwen, I may have a way..."
