Zhao Wei and Li Donglai had no personal relationships, but they were all in the same circle and met each other several times. She knew that Li Donglai was a busy person and was not polite. She went straight to the point: "I came to invest this time. Didn't I take the lead in a graduate student in the director department before? Our class is about to graduate, and every student has to make a movie as a graduation work. Thinking that you are rich, you are not polite to come and invest."

"I'm already a director graduate student. I haven't read any books, and I really don't know about your graduation works. Do you have a script? Do you want to drink something, coffee, drink or tea?"

"Get a glass of ice water, the weather is too hot and thirsty." Li Donglai was casual, and Zhao Wei was not restrained. Li Donglai nodded and asked the assistant outside to pour water. He took the script handed over by Zhao Wei.

"Is it a youth love story?" After just looking at the name, you will know what type of movie it is. After the popularity of the film "The Girl We Chased in Those Years", it seems that the hotline for youth love films has also been launched. There are many youth love-themed movies in China these days, but not many of them are popular.

"That's right. It's adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name in Xinyiwu. It's a "warm youth" and a fresh style." Zhao Wei took the water handed over by her assistant, said thank you, and continued: "18-year-old Zheng Wei stepped into the university campus with hope and started her journey of pursuing love. It turned out that Zheng Wei had been young and childhood sweetheart with Lin Jing's childhood sweetheart from the neighboring school. This time, he finally got admitted to the neighboring school of Lin Jing's school as he wished, and could date him openly. Who would like to welcome her not the embrace of her lover, but the teasing of fate - Lin Jing went abroad to study. There was no news. Zheng Wei was hit hard, but in times of distress, he formed a deep friendship with his roommates Ruan Wan, Zhu Xiaobei, Li Weijuan and his senior brother Lao Zhang, and slowly got out of his heart with their company."

"The brand new university life has officially begun. In this science and technology school with more men and fewer girls, two beauties, Zheng Wei and Ruan Guan are very popular. The rich young master Xu Kaiyang is one of Zheng Wei's many suitors, and Ruan Guan uses her unique coldness to protect her loyalty to love. An accidental misunderstanding made Zheng Wei and Lao Zhang's roommate Chen Xiaozheng become mortal enemies. During repeated counterattacks, Zheng Wei was surprised to find that she fell in love with this top student who was cold on the surface and kind on the inside, so she counterattacked wildly into a desperate pursuit, and Chen Xiaozheng finally surrendered under the strong attack. The happy enemies eventually became sweet lovers..."

Zhao Wei was obviously well prepared, and she kept talking about the content of the script. When she saw Li Donglai listening to her narration carefully, she realized that she had said too much, "How about it. You can take a look first. Don't treat me."

Li Donglai smiled and said, "What is the budget?"

"The budget is not big, it's more than 40 million."

"Don't you star in the star?" Li Donglai was a little surprised. "No, I'm old. And I'm the first time I'm a director, I'm afraid I can't control it well. I also like the work behind the camera. Didn't you start developing behind the camera?"

Li Donglai nodded slightly and smiled and said, "Everyone has his own choice. I don't advise you. I'll read the script first." The length is not large. After a moment, he put down the script and said directly: "Can I give some small opinions? I happened to read the original novel." "Ha, listen carefully, if you can get your big director's advice, my graduation work will be complete."

Li Donglai smiled, "Your script splicing the original plot is a bit messy. The plot is a bit inexplicable, but the novel is a novel. The movie is a movie, and you cannot criticize it because it is different from the original. This is for the movie, and it is understandable. So except for the original work, just talking about the script, your details and foreshadowing are a bit careless, the story context is complicated and the main line is a little messy. The most unfavorable thing is that the characters are all too negative. Really, too negative. Take a step back and say that a boy takes the back door to get the qualification to study abroad by relying on others' like him, and deceives others' feelings to get married and then divorce. Even if this person is the person he loved when he was young, can this kind of character be?"

Zhao Wei was thinking, and there was no annoyance on her face. Li Donglai continued: "The story seems to be a new millennium before, and the characters can be crafted again. So we have taken over this job. The budget of 40 million is a bit tight. We can give you a budget of 60 million, which is not enough. We only ask you not to save money and make the movie exquisite."

"ah--"

Zhao Wei was a little surprised. She was criticizing the script just now, but she agreed in a blink of an eye?

"You agreed now. Is it more than 20 million in budget? It's too hasty."

"See what you said."

Li Donglai collected the script and smiled and said, "Just relying on your Zhao Wei's name, you can't find a tens of millions of investment. I like to train young directors so much, hehe, it's absolutely right to look for me." This is true. Zhao Wei married a rich husband. If you need to spend money, just open your mouth, and it's not easy to get it.

Li Donglai predicts that movies can make money just by Zhao Wei’s first director. What’s more, Chinese movies are emerging in recent years. Even if the movie is bad and the operation of the Phantom, it will not lose money.

After sending Zhao Wei away, Li Donglai failed to leave the office. It was probably because Li Donglai had a rare trip home, and all the trivial matters were taken. Ms. Zhao was sent away from her front heels, and another lady was welcomed on her back heels.

Li Donglai didn't know the female director Xue Xiaolu who once wrote and directed the movie "Ocean Paradise", but because "Ocean Paradise" was starring Li Lianjie and Heraldry, he happened to watch it. So he is familiar with Xue Xiaolu, and he will know it after Rodro introduced it.

"Director Li..."

"Don't, I'm a junior, Teacher Xue will call me Donglai."

"Haha, okay, I'll just drag it out. This time I came to invest in the Phantom."

"Oh." Li Donglai welcomed her in again, "What a coincidence. Just now, this is the second sentence of Sister Zhao Wei entering the door. Let's sit down and talk slowly, what should I drink?" Xue Xiaolu was born in 1970. He is from Beijing. He is a literary writer, film and television screenwriter, and film director. He graduated from the Department of Literature of the Beijing Film Academy in 1996 and obtained a master's degree. His degree is better than that of Zhao Wei. "Ocean Paradise" was written and directed by her. Other works include "Being With You", director Chen Kaige, and the TV series "Don't Talking to Strangers".

It’s different for a professional man to be born. The script she submitted is also much better than Zhao Wei’s script.

"Is it a youth romance movie?" After reading the name, Li Donglai knew the type. This was very good. Then he found that this sentence seemed to be said for the second time today.

"That's right. A bit weird love movie, haha." Xue Xiaolu smiled and said, "Talking about a wealthy woman named Wen Jiajia was once an editor of a food magazine. She was full of romantic fantasies about love like the movie "Sleeping in Seattle Night". In reality, because there is no way to issue a birth certificate in China, she traveled thousands of miles to wait for her child to have a child."

"At the confinement center, Wen Jiajia's style of showing off her wealth has aroused the disgust of the landlord and other pregnant women. She felt lonely and could only express her feelings to the driver Frank. The dull and honest uncle Frank is not a mediocre man. He was a first-class doctor in cardiovascular diseases in China. While getting along, Frank's considerate and tolerant gradually melted Wen Jiajia's willfulness. When Wen Jiajia's rich boyfriend suddenly disappeared, Wen Jiajia, who became a poor overnight, received meticulous care from Frank. The period of living with Frank and his daughter made Wen Jiajia find the warmth of home. The two of them got together day and night, and they developed subtle feelings."

"Wen Jiajia's child was born, but the rich boyfriend appeared again and took her back to China and proposed to her. Although life was as luxurious as before, Wen Jiajia often missed frank. Only then did she realize what love she really pursued was. Leaving Seattle does not mean the end, leaving is the beginning of the next encounter."

After she finished telling the story, Li Donglai was still reading the script carefully. After a long time, he put down the script and drank a glass of juice. He said, "The story is very wonderful, and it seems to be a suspicion of being biased towards a mistress. But there is only a conflict. To be honest, your script is better than Sister Zhao Wei's. Even her movies are invested in, and there is no reason to refuse a better script. Do you have any ideas about the actors? Both roles are very expressive, and if the acting skills are not in place, it will be greatly reduced."

"Did you agree to invest? It's great. I found you on the first stop and then got it done." Xue Xiaolu was very happy and smiled and said, "What do you think of Wu Xiubo and Tang Wei? Both are acting people. When I wrote the script, the actors in my mind were the same."

"Where is another female supporting role?"

"How is Haiqing?"

"Well..." Li Donglai was silent for a moment, "You are very prepared, and I have no reason to refuse. I wish us a happy cooperation."

"Ha, it's so fast. Don't you ask me how much investment budget I have?" Xue Xiaolu seemed very happy after the big event was completed.

Li Donglai smiled and said, "I won't ask anymore, you have as much as you want."

Xue Xiaolu was completely convinced, "It turns out that she is rich and powerful. I shouldn't talk about anything to a rich man like you. Happy cooperation!" She stood up and shook hands with Li Donglai.

Li Donglai personally sent her out, "Sister Xue has any movie plans in the future, I hope she can consider our Phantom more." "I will look for you, who told you to be so happy?" Li Donglai suddenly burst into laughter and crying.

The reporters outside the Phantom Gate caught two women and walked into the Phantom Company's gate today, all of which were sent by Li Donglai himself. They couldn't help but guess the reason. It was not until a few days later that the Phantom announced the new film plan that they realized what the two of them were doing.

Li Donglai was still anxious about the shooting plan for the coming year, but he didn't expect to come up with two plans in the afternoon. It's really gratifying.

"Brother, why are you so happy?" Rodro pushed the door and walked in.

Li Donglai smiled and said, "It's nothing. I just spent 100 million yuan to celebrate. Is Brother Hua here?"

"I spent 100 million to celebrate? No problem." Rodro was a little stunned, "Mr. Liu is in Hong Kong. His daughter was born and she is very busy. Didn't you give gifts?"

"Oh, I forgot about this."
