When Zeng Jingyi heard what Mother Xia said, she immediately put down the thermos and reached out to hold Mother Xia's hand again.

Xia Haoyang was just joking, but he didn't expect it to backfire. Instead, it made Xia's mother unhappy. She could only ask awkwardly, "Wasn't Dad around at the time?"

Mother Xia sighed, her eyes softened again, "Your father was on a business trip, I was alone at home, and I had to take care of your elder and second brothers. Actually, we are lucky, after all, we have servants to take care of us. But son, the ten months of pregnancy is really a difficult journey for a woman. The psychological and physical inconveniences do have a great impact on life, so you have to understand the hardships and sacrifices of women. You have to be good to Jingyi in the future, doubly good."

"Don't worry, Mom. I will treat Jingyi well and try to stay with her as much as possible in the next few months. I won't let her face all the difficulties in life alone." Xia Haoyang walked over, put his hand on Zeng Jingyi's shoulder, and said sincerely.

"That's good." Mother Xia smiled again.

Sister-in-law Kuang Yurou looked at the people in front of her with a smile and calmness from beginning to end.

"By the way, Mom, sister-in-law, you have never been here and have only been to the rental house on Daliushu Road. How did you find the house here?" Xia Haoyang asked.

"I've never been here, but I'm not stupid. I heard that you moved. Isn't Baguo Village in Haidian District right here? I asked the security company to pick me up at the airport and send your sister-in-law and me here directly. They know where you live."

"Yes, Manager Luo from the security company knows where I live." Xia Haoyang looked up, thought for a moment, then nodded affirmatively.

"Third brother, I went to see the movie you wrote the screenplay for. My Sassy Girl is very interesting, and the song I Believe is also very nice. At the end of the movie, it was shown that you wrote both the lyrics and the music. Why didn't you let Jingyi sing this song?" Sister-in-law Kuang Yurou mentioned the movie she had watched recently.

"Yes, yes, son, this movie is good. Your sister-in-law came home from watching the movie and told us, and then our whole family went to the cinema and booked a private screening to watch it again. It was really good. The silly look of the male lead is very similar to you in the past." Mother Xia was deeply impressed by the male lead of the film.

"This song is more suitable for a man to sing, and I sold the script of this movie. I have no say in who they choose to sing the OST. But I should have asked my mother, eldest sister-in-law, second sister-in-law and Jingyi to invest in the company you have jointly invested in this drama. It is said that the box office is very impressive at the moment, and you should make a small profit."

"Nana told me about it, and I knew that this film had a small investment, so I went to the cinema to see the effect. It's good, the film is good, and the market reputation is also good. Your recommendation is very good." The sister-in-law was very satisfied.

Because the TV series and movies shot by Xia Haoyang were very successful in both box office and reputation, his second sister-in-law Sun Na and others were very jealous of Xia Haoyang's easy money in the entertainment industry. So, together with his eldest sister-in-law, Xia's mother, and Zeng Jingyi, they invested in a small film and television company, which mainly made money by investing in TV series and movies in the entertainment industry.

Every one of the several films that the company has invested in since its establishment is a hit TV series produced by Xia Haoyang. This is an opportunity that ordinary investors, those without background and resources, simply cannot get. However, under Xia Haoyang's instruction, this small company can easily be shortlisted in the list of investors every time, and naturally makes money every time.

However, the more people made money by investing in the films recommended by Xia Haoyang, the more Sun Na and sister-in-law Kuang Yurou were afraid to choose the films themselves, because they didn't understand the twists and turns at all. What kind of films could make money?

Originally, second sister-in-law Sun Na was optimistic about a big production, with overwhelming advertising and an extremely luxurious cast. She almost invested real money in it, but it was the eldest sister-in-law's persuasion that made her hold back. As a result, the film was released and the box office was terrible, and the investors lost everything.

The eldest sister-in-law Kuang Yurou took a fancy to a low-budget commercial romance film. She thought that the investment would not be large, and if the box office and reputation were great, she would make a fortune. But miracles don't happen often, and she almost invested real money. Fortunately, she didn't really invest. The low-budget film ended up not being able to enter the theaters and could only be broadcast on the Internet. The box office on the Internet was only a few hundred thousand. For a movie with an investment of five million, it was also a complete loss.

Big productions lose money, and small-budget films also lose money. This confused the eldest sister-in-law Kuang Yurou and the second sister-in-law Sun Na. They also know that the entertainment industry is not for everyone. Almost every film invested by the third brother can make money, so there must be a way to make money. So from then on, the eldest sister-in-law Kuang Yurou and the second sister-in-law Sun Na would go to the cinema to experience the films that Xia Haoyang suggested investing in, one to feel the content of the film, and the other to understand the attitude of the audience.

But after watching the film, although some works are indeed good, they are not as good as the box office reflects. In fact, there are some films that are better than Xia Haoyang's works, at least Kuang Yurou and Sun Na think so, but the box office is far less than that. So what kind of film can be a hit in the market? How does Xia Haoyang judge whether a film will be a hit in the market?

Sister-in-law Kuang Yurou asked the question again with a sincere attitude.

Xia Haoyang once gave a perfunctory explanation: if the script is excellent, the actors have superb acting skills, and the film is well promoted, then naturally people will go to see it, and the box office will not be low.

It is meaningless for you to say such empty and pretentious words into the microphone when you are accepting media interviews, but it is also meaningless for you to say such things to your relatives and your extremely smart sister-in-law Kuang Yurou.

But Xia Haoyang didn't want to explain his time travel, so he could only say awkwardly: "Maybe it's an intuition. I can't explain this kind of thing. I just feel that some movies won't lose money, so I recommend them to you."

Sister-in-law Kuang Yurou nodded seriously, "Intuition is actually a kind of experience. Only when you have a full professional understanding and familiarity with your work or a certain field can you have a certain innate judgment ability. This is actually a talent, and talent cannot be imitated or learned."

Although the eldest sister-in-law gave up asking him how to tell whether a movie is a hit, Xia Haoyang still felt a little awkward and could only change the subject: "Tomorrow the cinema will show another movie I wrote called "Introduction to Architecture". I also asked the second sister-in-law to invest in this drama. How about we go to the cinema to watch it together?"

"Okay, I'm very interested in the movie you wrote. Let's go together." Sister-in-law Kuang Yurou agreed without hesitation.
