"Boss Xu, Boss Xia, Director Wang is inside. I'll take you in."

Zheng Leran waited for them at the door, while Wang Qiushui was busy inside the film crew.

"it is good"

Xia Yichu responded and followed Zheng Leran inside. Xu Shaoyang followed helplessly behind, but he still couldn't persuade Xia Yichu.

"Qiushui, the two bosses are here."

A man in his thirties looked up from a pile of equipment at the sound. He was wearing a faded shirt and looked quite disheveled.

"Okay, I'll be right there. Please take the two bosses inside for a while."

Zheng Leran invited Xia Yichu and the others to a small room next door. The room was small and even more shabby than the director's room. It contained a few old chairs and a table.

Xia Yichu looked around curiously, while Xu Shaoyang stood quietly to the side. Zheng Leran brought out two slightly nicer-looking chairs for them to sit on.

A short while later, Wang Qiushui rushed over, looking apologetic. "I'm so sorry to have kept you two bosses waiting."

Xia Yichu smiled and waved her hand: "Director Wang, you don't need to be so polite. I can tell you're quite busy. I'll get straight to the point. Le Ran should have told you that we'd like to invest in the movie you're currently making."

"Yes, Le Ran told me you wanted to invest one million. To be honest, the last investor in this movie only invested two hundred thousand, and my expectation is around eight hundred thousand."

"Of course, if you could invest a million, the film production would be even better, and I believe the response after its release would be even greater."

Wang Qiushui sincerely said that he thought the production budget for this movie was only his own 300,000 yuan.

Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better, and someone was actually willing to invest in him, and even a one-time investment of one million, which could solve all his troubles.

Xia Yichu's eyes lit up, and she asked enthusiastically, "We're definitely willing to invest one million. Director Wang, could you tell us more about the movie's plot?"

Xia Yichu hadn't seen it in her previous life; she only heard people discussing the female lead of the movie after Liu Yaohui released her.

It's said that she, an ordinary person, was chosen by Director Wang and landed the lead role in her first acting role with no prior experience, which is incredibly lucky.

They also said she reached her peak right from the start, a height many people can never reach in their entire lives. They also said she was love-struck, and of all things to do, she had to become a mistress, ruining a great opportunity.

In the end, he lost both his money and his life, which was extremely tragic, and he could only make a living by working in a restaurant.

Wang Qiushui perked up, cleared her throat, and said, "This is a romance film set in the Republican era, during a turbulent time. The female lead is a lady from a prominent family, and the male lead is a wealthy young man."

They met during a patriotic event and gradually fell in love. Shortly after their marriage, war broke out, and the husband resolutely joined the revolution, ultimately sacrificing his life for his country.

The male protagonist would write letters to the female protagonist whenever he had free time, but the letters could never reach her. He wrote a total of 160 letters before his death.

After the war subsided, his comrades, carrying over a hundred letters, finally found the female protagonist after many years of searching. At that time, the female protagonist and the male protagonist's son was already twelve years old, and the female protagonist, unable to bear the blow, fell ill and never recovered.

Countless times, in the quiet of the night, the female protagonist longed to follow the man she loved in death, but she couldn't bear to do it, gazing at her sleeping son. For her child's sake, she endured until he reached adulthood before passing away.

"This story is so touching, it's really worth reading."

Xia Yichu gave a perfunctory answer, saying that she only knew that this movie would definitely make her money, and nothing else mattered.

"That's what I thought too. It involves some war scenes, so the investment will be quite large. My original budget of 800,000 yuan was to cover the construction of these scenes and the production of special effects," Wang Qiushui explained earnestly.

Xia Yichu nodded repeatedly: "Director Wang, I really like this story. We've decided to invest one million."

"Great, that's wonderful. I'm confident that with your investment, the film will be a huge success."

Wang Qiushui's face flushed with joy, and he suddenly became energetic. He continued, "With your investment, I plan to use real locations to film and recreate the atmosphere of the Republic of China era. Coupled with the actors' superb acting skills, we are sure to create a classic."

"Okay, Director Wang, quickly draft the contract. Once it's signed, the funds will be in place immediately. We've already prepared the money, and I've brought the cards."

Wang Qiushui was very excited and nodded quickly: "I will go and draft the contract right away, and I will make sure that the two bosses are satisfied as soon as possible." After saying that, she hurriedly left the room to prepare the contract.

Xia Yichu looked on with anticipation and turned to Xu Shaoyang, saying, "Shaoyang, I think this movie will definitely be a big hit."

"If you like it, that's fine. I trust your judgment."

A short while later, Wang Qiushui returned with the contract and carefully explained each clause to them. Xia Yichu and Xu Shaoyang read it carefully and then signed their names.

Xia Yichu took out a bank card and handed it to Wang Qiushui: "Director Wang, please arrange for the use of this money as soon as possible. I hope the movie can be released soon."

Wang Qiushui accepted the card and said gratefully, "Don't worry, bosses, I will do my best to live up to your trust."

Afterwards, Wang Qiushui took them on a tour of the film set. Xia Yichu looked at the busy staff and the meticulously constructed set, her heart filled with anticipation.

Wang Qiushui couldn't wait to get to work, but seeing Xia Yichu and Xu Shaoyang there, she felt embarrassed to leave first.

Seeing that Wang Qiushui was getting restless, Xia Yichu said, "Director Wang, you go ahead and get busy. We need to go back too."

"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner after filming is finished," Wang Qiushui said with a smile.

"OK"

Xia Yichu was overjoyed, as if she could already see the film's success.

"Shaoyang, Leran, I'm so happy today. What would you like to eat? I'll treat you to dinner," Xia Yichu said happily as they left the film set.

"Boss Xia, there's a restaurant called Yun Lai Xuan in Hong Kong. Their roast meats are amazing, and their boat congee is incredibly delicious. How about we go there?"

Zheng Leran had the good fortune to eat there once, and the taste left a lasting impression on him. Xia Yichu became interested, "Okay, let's go to this place. I haven't tried any authentic local cuisine in Hong Kong yet."

Xu Shaoyang had no objection, and the three of them arrived at Yunlaixuan. The store was bustling with activity and filled with enticing aromas.

They found a place to sit down, and Zheng Leran skillfully ordered local specialties such as roast meats, boat congee, and pineapple buns.

Soon, the dishes were served one after another, their colors enticing. Xia Yichu couldn't wait to take a bite of the roast meat; the meat was tender, the skin crispy, and the meat fragrant.

"It tastes really good. The food in Hong Kong lives up to its reputation." Xu Shaoyang also enjoyed the meal. The boat congee was rich in ingredients and tasted delicious.

As Zheng Leran ate, she explained, "This pineapple bun is best eaten hot; the bread is crispy, and the butter melts in your mouth."

Xia Yichu took a bite and said with satisfaction, "It's so delicious, I'll have to come back and try it more often."

The three of them ate to their hearts' content. Seeing Xia Yichu happy, Xu Shaoyang stopped thinking about the one million.
