Chapter 882 Everyone Learns
Director Ning went to see him soon.
Because of their previous collaboration, Director Ning was kinder to him than to others, even jokingly saying, "It's rare that President Huo has time to come here."
"I know you're busy, so I didn't dare to bother you," Huo Sinian replied.
"Speaking of which," Director Ning said, sitting down and pouring him a cup of tea. "You came here for something, didn't you?"
Huo Sinian readily admitted, "Yes."
Director Ning poured himself a glass as well: "Tell me about it."
"I heard you signed Lin Tan for your new film?" Huo Sinian asked, his tone gentle.
"That girl is a good prospect," Director Ning replied indirectly, "She's a perfect match for my new role."
Huo Sinian's lips curved into a smile.
Director Ning hurriedly emphasized, "There's no suitable role for you in this film."
"I know." Huo Sinian didn't beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly, "I came here to ask how your investment is going and whether you still need more."
Director Ning understood immediately: "You want to invest?"
Huo Sinian stroked the teacup in front of him: "If Lin Tan participates, we'll invest."
"She's the second female lead in my film," Director Ning said directly. He still had some appreciation for Huo Sinian. "As long as there are no breaches of contract, I will continue to use her."
Huo Sinian nodded slightly.
Director Ning has always been very careful about investments: "My film is quite good, and the investment will definitely not be a loss."
"I still have faith in Director Ning's abilities." Huo Sinian knew his capabilities. "I heard this film is a crime thriller?"
Director Ning: "Yes."
Huo Siqing took a sip of tea: "Eighty million."
Director Ning choked on his own: "Cough cough!"
His eyes widened.
This was quite unexpected.
Eighty million is enough for the entire investment of a movie.
This is different from the previous film; this one doesn't require many special effects and relies almost entirely on the plot and acting. According to industry norms, a price of 30 to 50 million is quite common.
This is the first time a single company has contributed 80 million.
"Not enough?" Huo Sinian asked.
“That’s enough.” Director Ning couldn’t possibly refuse so much investment; the more investment he received, the more freely he could film. “With your investment, I guarantee I’ll make this film the best it can be.”
The total investment in the early stages has already exceeded 20 million.
With Huo Sinian's 80 million, the total has reached 100 million.
“Okay, I’ll have someone prepare the contract in a bit,” Huo Sinian said unhurriedly.
Director Ning immediately smiled.
This is the first time that securing investment for a film has gone so smoothly.
“Oh, right.” Huo Sinian looked at him.
Director Ning: "What's wrong?"
Huo Sinian's thin lips curved slightly: "There really isn't a suitable role for me this time?"
Director Ning: "..."
Director Ning: "No."
There are no refined and cultured people in the entire play, nor are there any people with excessive power.
Huo Sinian's temperament is too unique. If he were to play a supporting role, it would easily disrupt the naturalness of the film and create a strong sense of disconnect for the audience.
He had to be careful for the sake of the film.
"Can't we add it?" Huo Sinian continued to ask.
“If you want to add to other scenes, I can,” Director Ning said seriously. “But this film is different from the others. The entire script cannot be cut or a new character can be added.”
Everything happens for a reason.
No more, no less.
"Investors can visit the set, right?" Huo Sinian didn't insist.
Director Ning: "Of course."
Huo Sinian: "Okay."
After that, Huo Sinian asked Secretary Ye to prepare the contract.
The moment the official seal was affixed, Director Ning felt completely relieved and was overjoyed.
"I've had dinner ordered, let's have a meal together later." Director Ning proceeded with the usual procedure, "and we can chat about the content of this film."
"Next time." Huo Silai had already achieved his goal of coming here, so he didn't have much time to linger. "I still have some things to do today. We can talk at the opening banquet."
This moment.
Director Ning increasingly felt that Huo Sinian's relationship with Lin Tan was not simple.
It's extremely rare to invest without even reading the script or asking about the content.
According to what was said at the wrap party, Lin Tan is Huo Sinian's fiancée. But Qin Jiangye says the two have no relationship, it's really complicated...
After this matter was discussed...
Huo Sinian then left.
He didn't go to see Lin Tan or send her any messages. There was still plenty of time; he had all the time in the world to slowly wear her down and let her know what the consequences of disobeying would be.
As he got into his car to return to the Huo Group's branch office, he took out his phone and called Yu Peiyun. When she answered, he greeted her with a smile, "Congratulations, Mrs. Yu..."
at the same time.
Lin Tan's side.
After signing the contract, I sent a message to Qin Mo.
According to their previous agreement, they should inform Grandpa Qin and Madam Yu about getting their marriage certificate. Regardless of whether they accept it or not, they should be informed.
Qin Mo replied to her quickly.
That afternoon, they went to Jiang Ruan's house to tell Grandpa Qin about it. The old man was very happy to hear this: "Good, good, I'm relieved that you two are together. When are you planning to have the wedding?"
"Let's wait a bit longer," Qin Mo said. "Lin Tan is currently in the rising phase of her career. Let's wait until she's more stable before making a decision."
"That's fine." Old Master Qin didn't interfere too much in their affairs. "You two can decide your own business."
Qin Mo hummed in agreement.
Grandpa Qin added, "I called and talked to your mother. She shouldn't be as opposed as before. When you have time, you should go back and talk to her properly."
"I know," Qin Mo replied.
"Will you stay for dinner later?" Old Master Qin asked, but considering that they had just gotten their marriage certificate today and were newlyweds, he didn't decide for them directly.
"No, thank you." Qin Mo held Lin Tan's hand. "I have to go to Mom's later."
Grandpa Qin nodded: "That's fine."
He didn't ask them to stay, and Qin Mo and the others lingered for a while before leaving.
As soon as they left, Old Master Qin went to Huo Zhizhou to show off.
He walked up to him and said in a good mood, "It seems that we Qin family members are still more powerful."
Huo Zhizhou: "Hmm?"
Grandpa Qin was very happy: "Qin Mo and Lin Tan got their marriage certificate."
Huo Zhizhou paused.
Somewhat unexpected.
"I was worried that Qin Mo wouldn't be able to win against your brother," Old Master Qin sighed. "I didn't expect things to turn out so quickly."
"Congratulations." Huo Zhizhou's lips curled up slightly.
No wonder Huo Si made that phone call to him at the annual meeting.
So it means making all the plans.
One hour later.
Qin Mo and Lin Tan went to Yu Peiyun and Qin Muchuan's residence.
Because Qin Muchuan was in jail, the house was rather quiet. When they arrived, Yu Peiyun was sitting angrily on the living room sofa. The living room was a mess, with ceramic shards everywhere.
"Young...Young Master..." The butler stood trembling at the door.
"What happened?" Qin Mo glanced at the mess on the ground.
The butler glanced at the hand he was holding with Lin Tan, then at the furious Madam Yu inside, and after much consideration, finally spoke up: "Madam was furious when she found out about your marriage certificate with Miss Lin."
Lin Tan's eyes paused, and her body tensed up slightly.
Qin Mo noticed and squeezed her hand to comfort her, saying, "It's okay, I'll handle it."
After saying that, he led her inside.
Upon seeing them appear, Madam Yu's anger burned even brighter.
"Mom." Qin Mo stopped a few steps away from her, while Lin Tan stood beside him.
Almost instantly.
Yu Peiyun grabbed a cup from the side and threw it at Qin Mo.
"Bang!"
"Clang!"
The cup hit Qin Mo on the forehead.
Blood started to ooze out shortly afterward.
"Qin Mo!" Lin Tan was startled.
Yu Peiyun paused, not expecting him not to dodge.
"It's nothing." Qin Mo didn't seem to care. He calmly looked at Yu Peiyun and told her about his relationship with Lin Tan, "Lin Tan and I got our marriage certificate. From now on, she's my wife."
Lin Tan pursed her lips and took the initiative to call out, "Mom."
Yu Peiyun's breath suddenly became heavy.
The atmosphere in the living room became very oppressive.
"Who's your mother?" Yu Peiyun's face was very pale, and her words were full of sarcasm towards Lin Tan. "Some people keep saying they will never be with my son, but then they turn around and get a marriage certificate behind my back. What a clever trick."
