Chapter 223 Establishment
Shuyu has a calm, meticulous and exquisite personality.
During the time when she was Meng Ying's assistant, Meng Ying was abroad. This year, Shuyu helped her a lot. From this year, Meng Ying saw the power of being independent in Shuyu.
When I mentioned this matter to Shuyu, at the beginning of the period, Shuyu was very nervous. She felt that she was not qualified and was afraid that she would betray Meng Ying’s trust. But everyone wanted to climb up. This was Meng Ying’s fault. Ying handed her an olive branch, and she desperately wanted to seize this opportunity.
During this period, Meng Ying also consulted Liang Jincong on this matter.
He supported her in letting go.
With a registered capital of two million, Meng Ying used the bankbook left by her grandmother and part of her own savings. Song Zhiqiu also became a shareholder and became a partner. Meng Ying held 65% of the shares and had absolute control. The right to speak.
On the 12th floor of Xingrun Building, we rented a small area to celebrate the establishment of "Jixing Culture" in the evening. Meng Ying and Shuyu found a tavern to have a drink.
When you are tipsy.
Shu Yu’s eyes turned red, “Sister, thank you.”
She knew how rare this opportunity was.
With original intention and enthusiasm, "Sister Meng Ying, I will never let you down."

Meng Ying met Ange again.
Ange smiled and said, "Meng Ying, this time, we are competitors."
Her and Ange's works were both shortlisted at the same time.
“But Meng Ying, I don’t want to defeat you. I have read your work and I like it very much. If I were a judge, this is my favorite movie.”
Local film festivals all have local characteristics. Meng Ying came here this time because she was invited by brands and film media. She didn’t have much confidence in the awards ceremony in the evening. She just wanted to see the international scene with her works. , this film was shortlisted for many film festivals, and Meng Ying won many awards. Her focus is still on domestic awards.
Meng Ying and Ange went backstage to meet Chris, and they took a group photo together. The prize was drawn in the evening. The international camera captured this young and beautiful Oriental female director several times, and the light also showed a special preference for her. With a layer of gentleness.
What’s more attractive about her beautiful appearance is the gentle and confident temperament in her movements.
The winner of the Best Director award is Ange.
Meng Ying stood up and applauded. She was also very happy for the other party.
Ange comes from a family of directors and has attracted much attention in the UK, but at this moment, when he was delivering his award speech, he mentioned Meng Ying's name.
Translated into Chinese, "Sitting in the audience is Meng Ying, a Chinese female director whom I admire very much."
The Westerners did not hide their enthusiasm at all. There were people present who were enlivening the atmosphere, probably encouraging Ange to pursue love, and the camera immediately showed Meng Ying.
Wearing a light pink sleeveless cheongsam, long and light hair, a piece of white rose embroidery on the chest, a delicate and beautiful oriental face, a slender waist and a graceful figure, it seems that the time around her is quiet and beautiful, in the camera , and also caught the ring on Meng Ying’s finger.
It goes without saying that she has a boyfriend.
This controversial topic does not distinguish between countries. The discussion did not decrease because of the ring on Meng Ying's finger, but became more heated.
But Ange was measured in his words, "I hope Ms. Meng will have a safe future, and I also hope that Director Meng's works can be seen at major film festivals."
Meng Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
Chris in the audience shook his head with a smile and glanced at the two juniors.
The best film was awarded next, and the winner was "Three Days Countdown". Meng Ying covered her excited chest and went on stage to receive the award with Song Zhiqiu. When she held the trophy, her fingers were still trembling slightly. Song Zhiqiu was also very excited and said the award speech. In the past few months, the film has gone through more than 40 film festivals, large and small award ceremonies, and the top ten best films. Meng Ying said a lot in the opening ceremony, closing ceremony, and award speech. She knew that her own path had just begun.
She will also move forward step by step and steadily. Standing on the stage, she watched Chris and Ange applauding her.
Meng Ying smiled.
That night, the most important award, the Lifetime Achievement Award, was given to Chris. He deserved it. Meng Ying, the British international director with the highest contribution, applauded in the audience.
Nearly everyone in the audience stood up, and the light shone on this thin old man.
Meng Ying saw in him the endless power of movies.
Many of those present were his students.
After Chris walked off the stage, countless people came together to bless him, and the camera kept following him. This great filmmaker. When he passed by Meng Ying, Chris stopped, hugged her, and patted her shoulder. .

Depart from London and return to Hongjiang City.
Meng Ying began to organize a new movie. The screenwriter was a newcomer. She met a small screenwriter by chance at a dinner party with Song Zhiqiu. The other party recommended himself, but she impressed Meng Ying in an instant. The plot was very curious. Cool, future science fiction, suspense.
Almost immediately, Meng Ying mentioned this matter to Song Zhiqiu, and immediately made preparations, read the script, and started filming a week later.
Song Zhiqiu is an activist. He organized a dinner party on Saturday, invited several employers, and asked Meng Ying to come too. Meng Ying was very popular because of a movie, but this would also face many problems. Some employers would like to Put people in there.
Xu Zhoushan also faced this problem at the beginning.
The management inserted Feng Yuying into the film, causing the whole movie to change.
So that night, Meng Ying rejected the goddaughter offered by an employer. This also led to her offending the other party, and one of the investors fell out in public and left.
Withdrawn 20 million investment.
Normally, this would be nothing. Without this investor, there would be another one. But when the start-up was about to start, one of the investors suddenly withdrew its investment, leaving a hole of 20 million.
Time is tight.
Need to find new investors immediately.
Ensure the crew can operate normally.
On the day the movie was launched, Meng Ying received a phone call. Song Zhiqiu said that she had found an investor, and the other party named Meng Ying to come and have a meal with her.
Meng Ying asked who the other party was.
"Ou Chi."
Hearing the name, she frowned slightly.
When she arrived at the private room and was about to open the door, Meng Ying saw the text message from Song Zhiqiu on her phone.
"Mr. Ou said that he is willing to invest 50 million yuan. He is very generous. Even if he wants you to come and negotiate in person, I can't do it. Do you know each other?"
Song Zhiqiu didn't know what Ou Chi was thinking about Meng Ying, and she didn't know about the previous grudge between the two. Meng Ying didn't say much at the moment. From Song Zhiqiu's point of view, she was naturally happy that an investor suddenly came and was willing to pursue the investment.
She just replied, "I'll tell you later."
Ou Chi watched Meng Ying walk in. The woman rushed back from the set. At first glance, the man's eyes fell on her legs, which was too much. A pair of slender and straight legs wrapped in light blue jeans, and further up, a slender waist, a beige sweater, and a white porcelain neck. His eyes swept up and down.
Meng Ying frowned.
She got straight to the point, a little wary, "Mr. Ou, my movie is currently not short of investment. It should be that Mr. Song didn't make it clear to you."
