Chapter 556 Filming
Then he continued to investigate the news about his daughter non-stop.
Unfortunately, my daughter also passed away, and she had been dead for several years. However, the husband's family in the country where my daughter married kept the news secret so tightly that no news leaked out.
The old man used some connections and found out that his daughter was tortured to death by his son-in-law.
After he died, he rolled up a straw mat and threw it directly on the mountain without even burying his body. No bones were left.
The old man was so heartbroken that he almost left with his children.
I just looked at the three children left by my son and the pair of daughters left by my daughter, and I could only hold on.
His daughter married a man who favored sons over daughters, and the two daughters she gave birth to were almost wasted and died. He also brought his two granddaughters to Kyoto.
An old man who has gone through hardships and sorrows has to raise five children, how can he still have the energy to make money?
Now I can only sell my family's ancestral shop to make some money to support my children.
The old man in this shop cherishes it very much, and he just wants to find someone who is destined to cherish it.
Cheng Yushu sighed after finishing speaking, "The old man is really suffering. The money from selling the shop should be enough for him to raise five children. He also has several houses at home that he wanted to sell, but my father He told him not to sell it. The children will have a house when they grow up. It would be good to rent out the house now and earn some rent. The old man listened. "
She looked at Yun Qinghuan and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, my dad thinks that the price of houses in Kyoto will rise in the future, but this is all his guess. He thinks that the old man is already miserable enough. If all the houses are sold, what will happen in the future?" What should I do if I run out of money? If I sell a shop now and still have a few houses left, my life will not be too bad in the future.”
Yun Qinghuan felt uncomfortable after hearing this, "Your father's suggestion is right. The old man has a few houses in his hands, and his life will not be too bad in the future. If you see him next time, talk to the old man about it." Don’t sell your house, save some money, the rent should be enough to live on.”
Yun Qinghuan wanted to buy a house and invest in it, so that she could live a better life, but she was not heartless, and she also hoped that the old man would have a better life in the future.
I was glad that I didn't lower the price just now.
In this era, there are really many poor people.
The pain caused by a white-haired person to a black-haired person may never be cured.
I just hope that the old man can feel better after taking care of some grandchildren.
Now the whole family has a house and something to rely on for their future life.
A big stone fell in Yun Qinghuan's heart.
She now has 60,000 to 70,000 yuan, which should be enough to film the first part of a movie.
But in general, the money is still too little. It can only be produced with a small cost and cannot afford to hire famous actors.
Yun Qinghuan started preparing for summer vacation filming in full swing.
Director Zhang was so happy when he heard that she was going to start filming that he immediately took the train and came to Kyoto.
He has a house in Kyoto, so he doesn't have to worry about having a place to live.
Then he started giving guidance to Yun Qinghuan.
They couldn't afford to hire famous actors, so a few of them went to the film school to audition. Because Director Zhang was there, the students were willing to audition because of his reputation.
After more than a month, the person was finally selected.
Yun Qinghuan was about to buy equipment again. Director Zhang saw that she only had such a small budget and said, "Just use your money wisely. I will only start preparing for the next film in the second half of this year. Some of the equipment will not be used. You If you don’t mind it, just use my equipment for the time being. When you make money, buy better equipment. Don’t buy any messy stuff that won’t produce the best quality filming.”
Yun Qinghuan thanked everyone sweetly, "Director Zhang, Teacher Zhang, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I don't know what I would do next."
Director Zhang's mouth curled up at her praise.
As soon as he was happy, he wanted to sponsor her, "Your money is still too little. I happen to have a friend who is engaged in film and television. They are planning to invest in movies recently, with a capital of one or two hundred thousand. Do you want me to recommend it to you?"
With other people's money? Yun Qinghuan wanted to refuse, "I want to use my own money to film. The profits from the film will be mine in the end. Moreover, if I don't use other people's money, I will have more say in my own film if I use my own money." No one will tell me what to do."
She doesn't like anyone telling her what to do.
After Director Zhang heard what she said, he subconsciously frowned and glanced at her disapprovingly.
"What you think is too simple. Sponsorships are not only for money, but also for connections and resources. Comrade Xiaoyun, if you want to stay in this circle in the future, just listen to my words and ask for sponsorships."
"It doesn't matter how much the sponsorship is, but at least they have invested money, and they will make arrangements for the release of your movie and other things in the future, so that you will not lose money. But if you use your own money to make the film, you will lose nothing. You have to take responsibility yourself, even if the movie is finished, you have to find connections before it can be released."
Even a great director like Director Zhang will get a sponsorship every time he makes a movie to relieve himself of a lot of subsequent pressure.
After hearing this, Yun Qinghuan suddenly realized that she had thought too narrowly. Making a movie is not just about making a movie, but also involves many things.
She sincerely thanked Director Zhang, "If you hadn't reminded me, I might have lost all my money by then, so I'll ask you to help me get sponsorship."
The first drama should not be done just to make money, but to make a name for yourself.
If you want to develop later, it will be smoother.
Director Zhang helped to contact someone and met him on the weekend. The other party was also an old man in the film and television industry, with a lot of resources and prestige. For Director Zhang's sake, he was willing to invest 100,000 yuan.
Yun Qinghuan could come up with 60,000 yuan, so according to the allocation of funds, the sponsor could get 40% of the profit. Yun Qinghuan gave 10% to Director Zhang so that he wouldn't work in vain.
Although Director Zhang might not like it, it was a little thought from her.
She took 50%, which meant that she had absolute say in the movie she made.
This was the benefit that Director Zhang fought for her.
After all, she only invested 60,000 yuan, and the rest of the filming, script copyright, etc. would not cost much.
Several people signed the contract, and the preliminary preparations for the filming of this movie were completed.
It was planned to start filming when the summer vacation came in June.
Because the filming location was chosen in the countryside of other provinces, Yun Qinghuan did not plan to go home after the summer vacation.
When she called the man to tell him, Bai Naihan was silent for a long time on the other end of the phone.
Obviously very disappointed.
Yun Qinghuan had no choice but to coax him, "I bought a house for everyone in our family in Kyoto. Do you think your wife is awesome? Now she has to continue to work hard to make money. Are you unhappy?"
The man's deep voice came from the other end of the phone, "Unhappy."
"Really? You are happy... huh? Why are you unhappy?" Yun Qinghuan thought she had heard it wrong.
She thought she earned much more money than him and hurt the man's self-esteem.
