Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

Two days later, Zheng Leran came to find Xia Yichu and told her that Xiao Wangshu had passed the audition. The director was very satisfied with her, saying that Xiao Wangshu was the female lead he had in mind.

"That's good. Tell Wang Shu to make the most of this opportunity."

This is the movie that made the female lead an instant star in her past life, and even the supporting male and female actors became famous as a result.

Xia Yichu knew how rare this opportunity was, and she hoped that Xiao Wangshu could become a movie queen as soon as possible.

"I told her, and she was really excited and said she would work hard. It's just that the director only gave her two days to read the script and get familiar with the character, since filming has already started for quite a while and we can't afford to delay any longer."

Zheng Leran was somewhat worried, wondering if Xiao Wangshu would be up to the task.

"The time is indeed a bit tight, but with Wang Shunu's hard work, there shouldn't be any problems."

After all, Xiao Wangshu was a movie queen in her past life. Although she's younger now and lacks experience, I believe that given the opportunity, Xiao Wangshu will definitely not disappoint her.

"There's another matter. The director feels that although Wang Shu's image is suitable, her acting skills may still need some polishing. He wants to arrange a teacher to give her two days of special training."

"Is this special training effective? Won't it put too much pressure on Wang Shu?"

Zheng Leran explained, "The teacher is very experienced and should be able to help Wang Shu improve quickly. Also, this shows the director values ​​her performance; if she performs well, she'll have a smoother time on set in the future."

It seems that Wang Lei is very invested in this film. Zheng Leran knows that if he can't make a good film this time, his future will be difficult, so he has very high requirements for the actors.

Xia Yichu nodded and said, "Okay, let Wang Shu give it a try. She has a good foundation, and with a teacher's guidance, she might even excel."

"That's what I think too. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but once you take the first step, it will be much easier afterward."

Xu Shaoyang listened to their conversation from the side. Xia Yichu said one sentence, and Zheng Leran said another, giving Xu Shaoyang no chance to interject.

"Yes, you should encourage her and give her more confidence."

Sometimes encouragement is much more effective than criticism. Since Xiao Wangshu could stand so high even though she couldn't sleep, it shows that she has good comprehension and ability.

"Okay, by the way, Mr. Xia, the director said that this movie still needs investment."

When Zheng Leran asked the director if he needed investment, he happily replied that he definitely needed it, and told Zheng Leran that this film was something he had carefully prepared for half a year and was a work he particularly admired.

"Yichu, do you want to invest in movies?"

Xu Shaoyang was a little confused. Didn't they just start the company? Why are they talking about investing in movies now? Moreover, Xia Yichu knows nothing about this industry, and investing rashly might mean losing all her money.

He's been looking for a renovation company these past few days, and he's also busy at the nightclub every night. Xia Yichu was busy looking for an apartment; when she left in the morning, Xu Shaoyang hadn't gotten up yet, and by the time he returned in the evening, Xia Yichu was already asleep.

So the two of them didn't talk much, and Xu Shaoyang didn't know that Xia Yichu was planning to invest in a movie.

"Yes, I plan to invest. Wang Shu is involved; investing in it is a sure thing."

Xia Yichu definitely couldn't tell Xu Shaoyang about her past life. No matter what, she would definitely invest in this movie. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; there might not be another one like it.

In her past life, she was imprisoned by Liu Yaohui and didn't know much about the future. She learned about this movie and Xiao Wangshu from Liu Yaohui, as well as from listening to the sounds of television they watched at home. The more she listened, the more she remembered them.

Xu Shaoyang frowned. "Aren't you planning to buy a house? And investing in movies is quite risky. Are you sure you want to invest?"

Xu Shaoyang gave Xia Yichu two million, which was what he had earned in Hong Kong over the past few years. They each took two million, and the rest was used to invest in an entertainment company.

Zheng Leran had no money; all the money came from Xia Yichu and Xu Shaoyang. Zheng Leran only contributed her labor.

Xia Yichu smiled confidently, "I know what I'm doing. Besides, this is a good opportunity that can help Wang Shu and make money at the same time."

Seeing that Xia Yichu had made up her mind, Xu Shaoyang turned to ask Zheng Leran.

"Le Ran, is the director you introduced reliable? Has he directed any movies before?"

What was Zheng Leran supposed to say? He hadn't expected Xia Yichu to take the initiative to invest in a movie. Actually, he didn't quite agree with Xia Yichu investing in movies now; their company might need to invest in the future, and he'd heard that Xia Yichu was also planning to buy a house.

What if the investment company doesn't have enough funds, and after buying the house there's no money to renovate it, and the movie doesn't make money?

Zheng Leran scratched his head and said with a forced smile, "This director has made a few low-budget films before, which received a so-so response. Although he didn't make much money, he didn't lose money either."

However, this time he prepared for six months, polished the script meticulously, and the director was very confident.

Xu Shaoyang was still somewhat worried after hearing this, feeling it was unreliable. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Yichu, how much money do you plan to invest?"

If it's under 100,000 yuan, then let Xia Yichu just play around with it! It's not like she can't afford to play.

Now the dance halls and game arcades have gradually stabilized, and the two people can earn several thousand yuan a day.

One million

As far as she knew, the film in her previous life suffered from insufficient funding due to the withdrawal of the investor. This resulted in issues such as using non-professional actors, reducing location shooting, sourcing equipment independently, and borrowing venues during filming.

The director said he wasn't very satisfied with the final result, adding that if a boss had been willing to invest at the time, the film would have been much more exciting.

Xia Yichu calmly uttered the words "one million," leaving Xu Shaoyang and Zheng Leran stunned.

Xu Shaoyang's eyes widened. "Yichu, this is no small amount. What if we lose it all?"

Zheng Leran also chimed in, "Boss Xia, although the director is confident, investing one million is still too risky."

Xia Yichu remained unmoved. "I trust my judgment. This movie will definitely be a huge hit. And with Wang Shu around, what's there to be afraid of?"

"Yichu, you don't understand the film market. It's not good to invest rashly. Why don't we learn more about it before making a decision?"

Xu Shaoyang tried to persuade her earnestly, but Xia Yichu was even bolder than him.

"No need, Shaoyang. How about we each invest 500,000? Or you can invest 300,000 and I can invest 700,000."

Xu Shaoyang was helping her make money, so she had to think of Xu Shaoyang whenever she had such an opportunity. Unfortunately, Zheng Leran didn't have any money to invest.

"I'm out of money. I only have a little over 100,000 yuan left."

Xu Shaoyang was telling the truth; he had high expenses and bought a lot of things.

"Why did you have to buy a sports car that costs over a million? Now look what's happened, you can't even make money by investing. Fine, I'll lend you some. How much do you want to invest?"

Xia Yichu looked at Xu Shaoyang with disappointment, saying that the car would depreciate in value, and it would be better to save the money to buy a house or invest in business.

"Yichu, are you really going to invest money?"

"Yes," Xia Yichu said decisively.

"Okay, you lend me 600,000, I'll invest 700,000, you just need to invest 300,000."

Xu Shaoyang said with a death wish, thinking that he should just let Xia Yichu lose money, but not let him lose too much.

"Xu Shaoyang, you're really unfair. You actually asked me to lend you so much money to invest, but only let me invest 300,000 myself. Do you think I'm stupid?"

Xia Yichu angrily pointed at Xu Shaoyang. She was thinking of him when she had good things to do, so he shouldn't be too greedy.

"I…"

Xu Shaoyang looked aggrieved; he was worried that Xia Yichu would lose too much. He hoped she wouldn't cry or do anything rash later.

"Okay, I'll lend you 200,000, you invest 300,000, and I'll invest 700,000. Otherwise, I won't lend you the money."

"Okay, whatever you say. You still want to buy a house, do you have enough money?"

Xu Shaoyang was afraid of her, so he sighed and agreed.

"I have enough money."

At worst, she can buy the house first and renovate it later. Despite Xu Shaoyang's womanizing ways, he is actually quite sensible and respects other people's privacy in a way that doesn't offend others.

During the few days she stayed here, Xu Shaoyang never went up to the third floor. Xia Yichu was quite satisfied and comfortable with her stay.

There's no rush to renovate; we can wait. But we must buy the house first, otherwise the price will go up later.
