Entertainment Era: Starting with Teaching Sister Meng to Sing
Chapter 110: The Numbers in the Bank Card
Wang Xiaozhou had this plan a long time ago.
They've written songs and made movies, but Meng Ziyi and Mao Xiaotong's faces aren't yet widely known to the public.
They're definitely high-profile now, and reality shows are a great way to boost their fame.
Variety shows have always been a good category for building fame over the years.
However, this kind of program usually needs a top contemporary celebrity to attract viewers, and Wang Xiaozhou currently doesn't have the money to spare.
After hearing Wang Xiaozhou's idea, Meng Ziyi's eyes lit up and he quickly agreed.
Graduation trips are definitely more fun with more people, and in her opinion, the current reality shows are quite interesting, with various game segments and team competition segments. It's so much fun when everyone is involved.
After agreeing on the terms, the two stayed overnight in the city. The next morning, they returned to the county town, gathered everyone together, and at the dinner table, asked who would like to join the trip.
Huang Mao and Lao San naturally jumped up and raised their hands, while Liu Weiguang looked like he wanted to go but didn't dare to.
Wang Xiaozhou understood what was going on and told everyone to leave after the meal, leaving Liu Weiguang behind alone.
"What's going on? Is my uncle up to something again?"
Liu Weiguang nodded awkwardly and said, "My dad wants to start another business. He sees that your supermarket is doing well. I've brought a lot of money home recently, especially from the movie project. Now we have about 200,000 to 300,000 yuan in savings. My dad wants to open a supermarket too, and he wants me to help out at home during the summer vacation."
Wang Xiaozhou let out a heavy sigh. Liu Weiguang's father was actually a very typical middle-aged rural man. This was not to say that he was honest and simple, but that he had no skills and spent his days tending to his two acres of land. He was also extremely controlling and insisted that his children do things according to his ideas.
Furthermore, they have a high opinion of themselves, believing that they can do what others can do. No matter who around them succeeds, they think it's just good luck and that they have no real ability.
So it's normal for someone who can't save 20,000 yuan a year to be tempted when they see someone else opening a supermarket and earning in a day what they would earn in a year.
In addition, the money in the family was all earned by their son, and they never thought about how hard it was to earn it. As long as they didn't feel bad about it, they would invest without hesitation.
"Dude, I don't know what you think, but what I mean is, this is a really fast track to making money. I don't want any of us to fall behind. If we miss this trip, we might never catch up again. So tell me how you want me to help you, and I'll do my best."
Wang Xiaozhou spoke with heartfelt sincerity; he truly didn't want the original few people around him to fall behind.
Liu Weiguang understood his elder brother's meaning. After a brief silence, he said softly, "Brother, you don't need to help me. I should handle these things at home myself. I don't want them to drag me down for the rest of my life. Give me two hours, and I'll go home and deal with it now. Then we can leave at any time."
Having been associated with Wang Xiaozhou, Liu Weiguang also possessed a ruthless streak, and immediately declared that he would go home and handle the matter himself.
Wang Xiaozhou was happy to see his brother understand, so without saying anything else, he patted his brother on the shoulder and they went their separate ways.
When they went outside and found Huang Mao and his friends, they discovered that Aunt Zhao and Lao San's mother were picking out things in their own supermarket. They had bought these things for them to eat in the car after learning that they were going on a road trip.
While emphasizing the importance of one's family of origin, Wang Xiaozhou stepped forward to stop them, telling them that it would be best to wait until after the official recording to begin these preparations.
While speaking, he called Fumino and told him to pack his things and come to Songbei to prepare for filming.
It's just a small variety show. With Wang Xiaozhou's skills, he could easily direct it independently. But he has to record and produce the game segments, which is too tiring for him to do alone. So, let Wenye host the show.
He also wanted to take this opportunity to try and sign Wenye. After all, the future "Dying to Survive" was a critical and commercial success. With so many works in his previous life and the system helping him cheat, Wang Xiaozhou couldn't possibly get his hands on everything. Hiring a worker was a good option.
In the previous film "The Return of the Soul", Wenye got a lot of good food by following Wang Xiaozhou. At his age, there are very few people who can make it to the position of assistant director. Most of them start from the production assistant.
Wenye not only secured the position of assistant director, but also participated in the production of a wildly popular online movie, making him the most qualified person in the school.
So when Wang Xiaozhou invited him again, this man didn't hesitate at all. He put down everything he was doing and immediately bought the next available flight to Songbei.
The third brother also got his driver's license a while ago, so the task of picking up Wenye was handed over to him.
While inviting several elders, Wang Xiaozhou also waited quietly at home for Liu Weiguang.
Wang Xiaozhou was worried that his brother was too young. Although he had made up his mind, he was afraid that his brother would do something too extreme. So he had to keep an eye on him at home so that he could go and persuade him if anything unexpected happened.
Sure enough, before he had even finished his meal, Liu Weiguang stormed back to the supermarket and, upon seeing Wang Xiaozhou, immediately said:
"Brother, I've taken care of everything at home. When are we leaving?"
At the dinner table, several elders looked at Liu Weiguang in surprise, wondering what was going on with him.
Seeing this, Wang Xiaozhou also pulled Liu Weiguang aside, giving his brother a private space to talk.
"What happened? Did you have a falling out with your family?"
Liu Weiguang nodded angrily: "I really can't communicate with my dad. I've been doing something wrong all my life. They've never thought about what the right path for me should be. They just want to satisfy their desire for control."
Others might think Liu Weiguang's words about his parents were excessive, but Wang Xiaozhou knew that there was a type of parent in the world who could indeed be called vampires, and unfortunately, Liu Weiguang's parents were that type.
So he didn't say anything, just waited silently, giving his brother a space to vent.
Sure enough, after talking for a while, Liu Weiguang slumped his head listlessly and whispered:
"In the end, I had a falling out with my family. They took all the money I had earned and told me that if I wanted to have fun, I should just earn my own money and go out and have fun."
Hearing this made Wang Xiaozhou furious. The money Liu Weiguang had earned before was all his own, and they had taken it all. They even had the audacity to say they would go out and play and earn their own money. How could there be such parents in the world?
Gritting his teeth, Wang Xiaozhou patted Liu Weiguang on the shoulder, barely managing to hold back from speaking ill of his parents in front of his brother.
"When we're brothers, money is no problem. Let's go, make more money, and use the numbers in our bank accounts to make your dad bow down in the future."
