Huayu 1999: Starting with nothing but getting something for nothing

At this moment, Qin Lan let out a burp, but then downed more than half a bottle of cola in one go.

"Brother Che, do you want another Coke?"

Upon hearing this, Yang Che looked at the nearly empty glass bottle in his hand and said, "One more bottle, please."

Ning Hao poured the last bite into his mouth: "Me too."

Wu Shixian smiled and said, "Thank you, Xiaolan."

Qin Lan smiled sweetly as always: "Okay, Director Cheng, how about it?"

Cheng Er, who was returning a call, waved her hand: "No need."

This glass bottle of cola, 200ml, costs one yuan a bottle. It tastes really good. Yang Che hasn't had such a delicious cola in a very, very long time.

Zhao Xiaoding and Ge You also collaborated on a movie called "GG," in which Ge You played two roles.

"I can make do with the heat, I can make do with the hard seat, but I won't compromise on something refreshing, I want a Coca-Cola."

............

Cheng Er, who made two phone calls, said that Wang Yuan, the screenwriter of "Spring Bright Pigsy," would be coming over around 3:30.

Yang Che carefully considered the matter again during his meal and finally decided to vote.

The reason for investing is partly to make money, but more importantly, to build a positive connection.

It's important to know that even making movies these days is inseparable from television stations. Among the producers of "Spring Pig" are Jiangsu and Zhejiang TV stations. These two TV stations were able to cooperate because they were giving Fan Xiaotian face. Although they didn't think much of the show, they still invested money.

Fan Xiaotian is a very impressive TV drama producer. He owns a company that was among the first batch of private film and television institutions to obtain a TV drama (Class A) production license from the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and is also the only private production unit outside of Beijing to obtain this qualification.

This company is called Suzhou Funa. Their debut work was "Spring Pig". They were short of money, otherwise they wouldn't have said something like "Whoever can raise money will be the male lead".

The fact that one of the four investors was willing to default and run away presented Yang Che with a perfect opportunity to offer timely assistance.

As for Chang'e being beautiful, well, she is beautiful.

Of course, Yang Che did not express his opinion, still saying that he would meet with Yang Che first.

Ning Hao and Wu Shixian did not express any opinion on the matter of "Spring Pig," showing they are both intelligent people.

As for Qin Lan, she wanted to go back to the guesthouse with Yang Che after the meal. She explained, "The boss doesn't even get a rest, how can a lowly assistant like me get one?"

Yang Che's talk of taking a break was just a formality. Ning Hao was busy with the studio's arrangements, and Cheng Er and Wu Shixian were contacting the actors to discuss the script with them.

Outside the restaurant, the three of them watched as Qin Lan followed Yang Che, exchanged glances, and then quickly looked away, as if they hadn't seen anything at all.

"Brother Che, should we install a computer in the studio and buy a printer? That way I won't have to go to the print shop anymore. It's too hot; look, my face is all red from the sun."

"It's already been purchased. The phone line will be installed tomorrow after it's laid."

Yes, we're using dial-up internet now. Once you've dialed up and established a connection, you can't make phone calls at the same time. As for internet fees, it's 4 yuan per hour for the first 1 to 60 hours, and 8 yuan per hour for any time exceeding 60 hours.

Qin Lan was delighted to hear this: "Brother Che, do you know how to type using Wubi? Do you think I should learn it?"

"No need, Pinyin typing works very well now."

"Oh, I see. When did you learn that, Che-ge?"

"University."

As Yang Che spoke, he couldn't help but recall the Wubi input method mnemonic: "Wang, Pang, Qing, Tou, Wu, Yi, Ti; Tu, Shi, Er, Gan, Shi, Cun, Yu..."

Tan Lan was a little out of breath: "Brother Che, slow down, I can't keep up with you."

"If you're not afraid of getting sunburned like a lump of coal, then slow down."

As Yang Che spoke, he turned and glanced at her. Her cheeks were flushed, and the strands of hair at her temples were damp with sweat. She looked both ugly and cute, so he couldn't help but smile.

Qin Lan was so taken aback by his smile that she forgot what she was going to say. It was the first time she had ever seen him smile like that, a smile that was somewhat indulgent. For a moment, she felt a little shy but also a little proud. It seems that I am still pretty in his eyes. I have been losing confidence these past few days.

She was still a girl after all, and playfully stuck out her tongue.

Yang Che didn't say anything, turned around and continued walking briskly; it was damn hot.

I hadn't walked more than a few steps when the phone rang. It was Zhao Xiaoding.

He said he has a friend who works as a product sponsorship (business development) manager at Huanle Media, and wants to take on the project of product placement in the movie GG. He said he would go over to talk to him in a bit. This friend's name is Yu Wenhao.

Hearing Yu Wenhao's words from Zhao Xiaoding was just as shocking to Yang Che as hearing about Zhao Xiaoding from Ulan Tana back then.

All the heroes of the world are now under my control!

Yu Wenhao, the guy who made film and television product placements so successful that the company went public, is a legend in the product placement industry. Of course, he is currently a business development manager at a media company.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Che went into the guesthouse. The cool air from the air conditioner blew in his face, and he couldn't help but hum a song: "Beautiful spring scenery, better to dream, in dreams the fragrance of green grass."

Fanning herself with a contented expression, Qin Lan suddenly widened her eyes: "Brother Che, what song are you singing?"

Yang Che paused, his face stiffening slightly: "Just singing nonsense."

Qin Lan's expression changed as she realized something, and she said cautiously, "I'm sorry, Brother Che."

Yang Che raised an eyebrow: "Why the sudden apology?"

"Oh! I thought I interrupted your inspiration, you scared me to death!"

Seeing Qin Lan's adorable expression of relief, Yang Che couldn't resist and pinched her still-red cheek. She had just turned 20, and her skin was still smooth and supple.

Qin Lan froze, her mind blank. Then she felt a surge of warmth welling up from the bottom of her heart, and even the air-conditioned lobby of the guesthouse didn't feel so cool anymore.

Yang Che realized something was wrong as soon as he put his hand on it, but he still held back and gently pinched it. Just as he withdrew his hand, he heard a "cough cough cough" sound coming from the direction of the front desk.

Yang Che chuckled and quickly withdrew his hand, while Qin Lan blushed even more, wishing she could bury her head in her flat chest.

So the two of them fled towards the elevator.

After entering the elevator, Qin Lan mustered up her courage and looked up, only to see his right hand placed on the tip of her nose. Her face turned even redder, and her eyes welled up with tears. She felt both ashamed and anxious.

Seeing her on the verge of tears, Yang Che felt a mix of emotions and said softly, "I'm sorry, your face is so red..."

"It's okay, hehe."

Qin Lan smiled, as sweet as ever, but a sense of loss welled up inside her, and she felt a little angry, angry at him and angry at herself, for no apparent reason.

She couldn't help but recall that her roommate Jin Xiaoman had asked her last night if Yang Che was interested in her, and whether she had any feelings for Yang Che.

At that time, Qin Lan thought about it very seriously, and no, neither of them had it.

She found it strange; Yang Che was clearly so handsome, so talented, and so kind to others, with impeccable manners and behavior, but she just didn't feel anything for him.

Now that she had calmed down, Qin Lan seemed to understand that he treated her and everyone else the same way, regardless of gender, but he also kept his distance.

Today, a look he gave her and a gesture told her that he treated her a little differently.
