Chapter 360 Picture of Pine and Crane

Grandpa Bai Yueming will definitely go to his eightieth birthday.

His relationship with Bai Yueming lies here, and Bai Yueming has been particularly helpful to him.

This is all human nature.

"Then you have to prepare a birthday gift."

Chu Yunxuan still doesn't know much about this kind of thing.

"Ask mom tomorrow."

You still need to be careful.

It doesn’t matter if you spend some money.

The suite that Bai Yueming gave him was 30 million yuan.

…

The next day.

Chu Yunxuan called his mother when he woke up.

"Mom."

"My dear son, call me this early in the morning. What's the matter?"

Wang Meiling's voice came.

After all, he is his own son, and Wang Meiling understands him very well.

Since Chu Yunxuan became famous, although he calls home several times almost every week, it is usually in the evening or around dinner time.

Calling this early in the morning, there must be something wrong.

"Mom, I have a friend..."

Chu Yunxuan probably told Wang Meiling about the matter.

"It's your eightieth birthday. That's an important day. Your family must be rich, right?"

Chu Yunxuan nodded: "Yes."

"If you have money, the gift must be thoughtful and not too shabby. You can buy a relatively valuable picture of a pine and crane."

"Picture of Pine and Crane."

Chu Yunxuan thought for a moment.

Songs and cranes all have beautiful meanings.

Songhe prolongs the year, representing longevity, because the pine is evergreen, it means immortality, and the crane because of its aura, means auspiciousness.

Really nice gift.

It is indeed a good choice to spend five to six hundred thousand, or even one million to buy such a famous masterpiece as a gift to Mr. Bai.

That's it.

Chu Yunxuan thought to himself.

"Okay, let's do this."

Wang Meiling: "Can you buy it?"

Chu Yunxuan said, "It should be fine."

"You must not buy it as a fake."

"Don't worry, Mom."

After that, Chu Yunxuan hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Yunxuan was at a loss.

Where to buy it?

Usually such things are collected.

Unless there happens to be an auction in these two days.

If you don't buy it at an auction, it's basically a fake.

And buy someone else's collection of pine and crane pictures?

First, collectors are not short of money.

Secondly, Chu Yunxuan didn’t know who to ask to buy it.

"Isn't this embarrassing?"

Chu Yunxuan scratched his head.

"How about...draw a picture?"

Chu Yunxuan thought for a while.

He acquired master-level painting techniques.

Master level, even if it can't compare to that kind of master level, but looking at the modern age, it is definitely not a bad product.

It would be more thoughtful if you draw it yourself.

As for the price…

Although their family is rich, they can't be stingy when giving things.

Just give something expensive.

But expensive things are just expensive.

"It's not impossible."

Chu Yunxuan thought to himself.

The key point is that his paintings are not shady works.

Just do it!

"Sister Ling."

Chu Yunxuan called Wang Lingling.

"What's wrong?"

"You help me buy something."

Wang Lingling: "I'm in the company now, what do you want, I'll ask Lin Miaomiao's manager to help you."

"Okay, I'll send you the list later."

Wang Lingling: "Okay."

Wang Lingling was taken aback when she received the list from Chu Yunxuan.

Yanghao brushes, Jianhao brushes, liner pens, raw rice paper, inkstones, ink ingots and so on.

This made her look confused.

What is Chu Yunxuan doing?

To be honest, she couldn't understand Chu Yunxuan.

As a singer, he has written so many hit songs, he is already a phenomenal singer.

Now he is definitely on the front line.

In other words, he, Chu Yunxuan, is now at the top.

There is no problem for him to act.

He just has to work hard in the world of singers and entertainers, but that doesn't mean he has no upper limit.

The upper limit is too much.

Arguably, there is no upper limit.

However, before he stabilized, he began to prepare to become a director.

It’s not that Wang Lingling is against Chu Yunxuan becoming a director, but you have just entered the industry.

You did get results, but you have to be steady.

There’s no rush to think about this after you’ve been in the music and entertainment circles for ten years.

Wait until you have nothing more to pursue, or it is difficult to reach a higher level in a short period of time, then consider these things.

She felt that Chu Yunxuan was too smooth.

Getting results too quickly will make him feel that everything he does is easy.

In this case, she worried that he might not be able to reach the heights he could reach in the music and entertainment circles where he was bound to make achievements.

But what can she say?

After all, it was not a long-term contract. After all, the company now relied on Chu Yunxuan.

What's more, she is an agent.

She probably doesn't have much time to spend with Chu Yunxuan.

But she didn't mean it for herself.

She really just thought it was unreasonable.

"Forget it, let's go talk to Director Liu first."

Wang Lingling then found Dong Liu.

"Liu Dong, I have something to tell you."

"What?"

Liu Dong asked.

"It's Yunxuan, he wants to make a movie."

Liu Dong was stunned for a moment.

"Isn't this filming?"

"It's a director."

Dong Liu paused.

"He's a director? What does he want to do?"

Liu Dong really couldn't understand Chu Yunxuan's brain circuit.

"I don't know either. I guess he's just interested. I've persuaded him, and he's quite persistent."

Director Liu said: "That probably won't be persuaded. It's a good thing for young people to suffer a little bit. Let him shoot, but the company's budget is not enough. Most of our current budget is in another movie. Chu Yunxuan doesn't have much financial support."

After finishing speaking, Director Liu thought for a while and said, "The company is not big, what kind of movie is he shooting?"

Wang Lingling: "I don't know, it should be a TV series."

"A TV series? It's good that he wants to make a low-budget movie. This TV series, even if it's a low-budget movie, the actor's salary is quite a lot for each episode."

"But no matter what, the investment shouldn't be too high, so let's tell him, because the company is currently investing in another drama, and they don't have much money, so they can spend three million for him to squander. As for what kind of film he can make, it depends on him."

Wang Lingling: "..."

"Director Liu, this is just using three million to waste money."

Wang Lingling said.

"Let him go, the company has to support it, right? Three million is not much, but it can help him."

"What about the TV series?"

Liu Dong waved his hand: "If there is no share, I will just support him."

Wang Lingling: "..."

Weird things happen every year, especially this year.

In other words, Liu Dong knew that throwing out the three million yuan would be a waste of money, and he didn't even have any idea of ​​getting back the principal.

Chu Yunxuan’s TV series doesn’t require any profit sharing.

It was purely for Chu Yunxuan to squander the three million yuan.

As a capitalist, how can this be the case?

During this period of time, Chu Yunxuan did earn a lot of money for the company, but the company is not that big after all, and three million is not a small sum.

"Okay, let me tell him."

Wang Lingling also told Chu Yunxuan the news that was not necessarily good news.

When Chu Yunxuan heard the news, he actually didn't care.

Because of himself, Chu Yunxuan did not have the idea of ​​letting the company invest in him.

After all, with the current weight of his company, it is impossible to make this TV series.

Unless the company seeks other investments.

But after all, it was Chu Yunxuan who wanted to shoot it personally, not the company's own plan, so how could the company dare to bet on it?

The company is so big, and an investment of hundreds of millions is equivalent to taking the entire company into it.

Therefore, from the very beginning, all Chu Yunxuan wanted was the company's approval.

Unexpectedly, the company gave three million to Chu Yunxuan, and they didn't want to share it, it was purely to support Chu Yunxuan.

Let him play with it.

Pretty good.

"Yunxuan, the company is not big here, and the company is currently filming. There is not much help you want to direct, but the company still supports you."

Chu Yunxuan: "Okay, thank you Sister Ling."

"You don't need to thank me, I'll give you the three million when the time comes."

Chu Yunxuan said: "No need, no need, I just want the company to agree to me, there is no need for money, besides, three million is useless."

Wang Lingling: "..."

"What kind of drama are you filming? What's the budget?" Wang Lingling asked.

"A few hundred million."

Wang Lingling:? ? ?

She originally thought that Chu Yunxuan would be enough to invest tens of millions.

Did not expect him to come for real.

Hundreds of millions of investment?

It doesn't matter whether there are those three million or not.

"Yunxuan, it's several hundred million. Is it necessary for it to be so big?" Wang Lingling really didn't understand.

This is not your area of ​​expertise.

I invested so much to shoot a movie that has a 99% chance of losing everything.

seriously?

She really felt like her worldview was about to collapse.

How can anyone play like this?

Too capricious.

"If you want to take pictures, take them seriously." Chu Yunxuan smiled.

"Okay, if you need anything, you can contact me anytime."

Chu Yunxuan nodded: "Okay."

After that, they also hung up the phone.

"Then start preparing."

Casting is not the most important thing right now.

The most important thing is to invest.

He can come up with 100 million.

It is estimated that at least four to five billion will be needed, which is at least!

Where can I get an investment of 500 million?

Bai Yueming.

Chu Yunxuan thought of him.

Five hundred million is small money to him.

But, as Wang Lingling said, Chu Yunxuan looked like an amateur to outsiders.

Even if he has a good relationship with Bai Yueming, it would be almost impossible to support an amateur, right?

Moreover, Chu Yunxuan is also embarrassed.

Why?

I feel like asking Bai Yueming to invest would be a bit like moral kidnapping.

You keep calling me brother, brother, brother, so why don't you support me?

Therefore, Chu Yunxuan felt that it was not good to seek investment from Bai Yueming.

At this time, a phone call came.

Chu Yunxuan's eyes lit up when he saw the caller.

"Yeah, how could I have forgotten her?"

Afterwards, Chu Yunxuan showed a smile.

"Hello."

Chu Yunxuan answered the phone.

"Xiao Xuanxuan, Bai Yueming should ask you to go to his grandfather's birthday party, right?"

Qin Yueran's voice came.

"I found it."

"You're looking for me too, let's go together then, you sure don't know what birthday gift to prepare, I'll get you one then." Qin Yueran said.

"I'm preparing, this will not be troublesome."

"Ouch."

Qin Yueran's beautiful eyes lit up.

"You still understand this? Then tell me, what do you give?" Qin Yueran asked curiously with a smile.

"Picture of Pine and Crane."

"Huo, I underestimated you, not a bad birthday gift." Qin Yueran chuckled.

"Finally I can see my Xiaoxuanxuan. When the time comes, I will book a hotel. Just come and find me in the hotel room." Qin Yueran said with a smile.

Chu Yunxuan: "..."

"Go aside!"

"Hahaha, by the way, this birthday banquet is different, it's very large."

"Aren't you going to his house?"

Chu Yunxuan asked.

"Come on, how is it possible? How can I tell you, it's almost a big party."

Chu Yunxuan: "..."

"Anyway, as far as I know, a large number of big names from business, entertainment, literature and other fields were invited. It is estimated that there are thousands of people. My parents were also invited. Just think about the scale of this time. ."

Chu Yunxuan: "..."

"On such a large scale?"

"It's the old man's eightieth birthday. Moreover, Bai Yueming's family business was built by the old man from scratch. The people he knows in his own circle are all very powerful beings. It's emotional and reasonable to celebrate this birthday. We need to increase the scale of the banquet."

Qin Yueran said.

"It's nice to have money."

Qin Yueran then asked, "Are you asked to sing?"

"Huh? Sing?"

Qin Yueran said: "Bai Yueming probably spent a lot of money and invited many star singers to sing."

"I wasn't asked to sing."

Qin Yueran said, "That's normal. It proves that he simply regards you as a guest at the birthday banquet. When the time comes, you will sit in the audience with those business giants and watch the stars on the stage sing."

"I know." Chu Yunxuan nodded.

"Hehehe, see you then."

"Okay, by the way, there is something." Chu Yunxuan said.

"What?"

"Forehead……"

Chu Yunxuan hesitated for a moment.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later."

Chu Yunxuan was still not too embarrassed to say it.

"Tell me, who among us is following whom?"

"It's okay, let's talk about it later."

"Then you must say it."

"Yeah, okay, let's go to bed early."

"Rest your sister, don't talk if you can't speak, why should I rest in broad daylight?" Qin Yueran rolled her eyes.

"This doesn't concern you, hang up."

beep beep——

"Let's finish the pine and crane picture first."

…

the other side.

Chen Haobin hurried to his father Chen Anguo.

"dad."

"sit."

Chen Anguo was sitting at a huge table eating alone.

The meals are simple.

On the contrary, there are no such big fish and big meat.

Even something that ordinary people would eat.

Leek egg dumplings or something.

But there are more types.

One or twenty dishes.

Chen Haobin sat in front of Chen Anguo and picked up his chopsticks.

"Dad, why did you call me over in such a hurry?"

"Have a meal."

Chen Anguo pointed to the dishes on the table with his chopsticks.

Chen Haobin knew that his father must not come here just to eat.

He didn't ask much, but ate with him.

After a while, Chen Anguo finished eating. He wiped his mouth and then asked, "It's Bai Baishan's eightieth birthday. Do you know about it?"

Chen Haobin: "Well, it's quite a sensation in the industry. Many singers I know have been invited to sing there."

"Um."

Chen Anguo then handed Chen Haobin an invitation.

"It's time to follow me."

Chen Haobin accepted the invitation.

"OK."

After all, the Bai family is a big boss in the industry, so this person is bound to go.

"Dad, is that all?"

Chen Haobin asked.

He always felt that there should be more than that.

This kind of thing can be done with a phone call.
