Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

"Could he be your cousin?" Qian Shuyi asked with a smile.

"It was him. His family didn't support him, so he had no choice but to come to me."

Beliqin sighed. If it were in the past, she would definitely oppose her cousin from making movies. Why would he make a movie while ignoring the family business?

Moreover, the film industry is a mess with all kinds of people, so it's not easy to get in.

But now she has figured out a lot of things. Life is short, just a few decades pass by quickly. If you can't even do the things you like, what's the point of living?

Her aunt has two sons. The older cousin has taken over the family business and is doing it well. Since the younger cousin wants to make a movie, he should just go ahead and make one. It's better than messing around outside.

Moreover, her aunt's family has the capital to trial and error. If her cousin fails to make a name for himself, he will naturally turn back after hitting enough walls.

"What's your cousin's name?"

Xia Qingqing asked again. She basically knew the names of all the famous directors in Hong Kong in the 1980s and 1990s. As long as she knew the name of this cousin, she would know whether he had some talent or not.

Beliqin said two names, one was her cousin's full name, given by his parents, and the other was a stage name, chosen by his cousin himself.

"That guy gave himself the stage name Mugino and said he would be famous in the future. This guy has been introverted and quiet since he was young. I never thought he would have such a strong personality."

My older cousin was quite rebellious when he was a child, but his family didn't worry much because he studied well, was handsome, and was an outstanding member of the school basketball team. He was a well-known figure in school in elementary school, middle school, and university, and he also formed a band.

At that time, all the relatives thought that my eldest cousin might not take over the family business and would start a band.

But to everyone's surprise, after graduating from college, my cousin took the initiative to go to the company for an internship. Now he has taken over the family business and is doing very well.

On the contrary, my little cousin, who has been quiet and well-behaved since childhood, changed his major to film without telling his family when he went to study abroad. His family only found out after graduation. My cousin did not go to work at the family company, but signed a contract with a TV station, doing all kinds of jobs. After two years, he finally got the chance to shoot a commercial, and there was no news after that.

My uncle only gave my cousin three years. If he failed to make a name for himself in three years, he would have to go back to work in the company.

There is only one year left, and my cousin wrote a script in a hurry, but unfortunately he couldn't find anyone to invest in it. After reading the script, Beliqin found it interesting and wanted to help this poor guy.

"puff"

Xia Qingqing spat out a mouthful of tea.

Mai Ye...this name is really well-known!

A famous suspense thriller film director.

This guy is particularly good at making horror movies, and he is also a versatile talent. He composes the movie soundtracks himself and sometimes makes cameo appearances in movies, either playing a killer or a pervert, never a normal person.

But Mai Ye is not only good at making horror movies, he is also quite good at making romance movies.

It is said that before Mai Ye became famous, no one asked him to make a movie. He was so poor that he could not even afford instant noodles, so he could only make romance movies. Who would have thought that he was very talented in this field, and every movie he made became a hit. Even after decades, the movies he made are still very classics, and they are stored in our hard drive of positive energy, and we can click them out to appreciate them from time to time.

After becoming famous for making romance movies, Mai Ye finally found investment and made his favorite horror movie. As a result, the movie scared the audience to death as soon as it was released.

As a result, the movie became a huge hit and many young people did not believe in it and wanted to see how scary it was. Naturally, they were scared to death.

There were also many young couples who went to watch the midnight show. The girls were so scared that they screamed and threw themselves into their boyfriends' arms, while the boys were in pain and happy.

This movie was popular for a long time and received good responses overseas. Mai Ye soon made the second film in the same series, which was even more popular than the first. After that, he made several more films, all of which are very classics.

Moreover, Mai Ye later also made bloody and violent gun battle action movies, which also sold very well. He has made many types of movies, some of which were bad, but most of them sold very well. He can be regarded as an indispensable director in the history of Hong Kong movies.

"Sister Liqin, please ask your cousin to bring the script. As long as there is no problem with the script, I will definitely invest."

Xia Qingqing tried hard to hide her excitement and pretended to be calm.

This is a golden goose that lays golden eggs. We must dig her company into it.

"I'll call him."

Bailiqin was also impatient, so she called her cousin immediately.

"Cousin, is it convenient now?"

Mai Ye, who was at home considering whether to make a romance film, suddenly received a call from his cousin. At this moment, his cousin's voice was more beautiful than the sound of nature. She was like a bodhisattva who saved him from the water and fire.

Beiliqin asked Xia Qingqing for his opinion and asked him to come over now.

"Bring your script!"

Beliqin hung up the phone, and the three of them waited for their cousin together.

Mai Ye came here by bike. He insisted on pursuing his dream of entering the film industry. His family cut off his pocket money, but he was very ambitious and rented a house outside. He has not asked his family for a penny in the past two years.

However, he has been short of money recently and cannot even afford a taxi, so he bought a second-hand bicycle and rides it whenever he goes out. It is environmentally friendly and cheap, and he only consumes a bowl of instant noodles for every 100 kilometers.

"Let me introduce you to Mr. Xia from Qiangsheng Film Company. Take out your script and show it to Mr. Xia."

Beliqin introduced her cousin with a smile.

Mai Ye is in her early twenties, quiet and pretty, seems not good at speaking, and has an introverted and shy personality.

He took out the script from his bag, handed it to Xia Qingqing with both hands, and said shyly: "Mr. Xia, this is my script, please take a look."

The script was handwritten in neat and beautiful handwriting. Xia Qingqing opened it and read a few pages, and she was sure that it was the first horror movie that she had seen in her previous life.

“What’s your budget?”

Xia Qingqing closed the script and asked.

Mai Ye didn't react at all and had a blank expression.

Bailiqin poked him hard and asked, "What is your budget?"

"Ah? Three...three hundred thousand!"

Mai Ye answered stutteringly, but fearing that Xia Qingqing would think the budget was too high, he corrected her, "Saving a little bit of 200,000 will be enough."

Xia Qingqing found it funny. In her previous life, she had seen an interview with Mai Ye on TV. At that time, he was already successful and famous, and he spoke very freely in the interview. He was nothing like the shy little boy he is now.

"I can invest in this movie, but you have to sign with my company. Is your contract expired now?"

"It's almost due, Mr. Xia, I can sign with your company."

Mai Ye was extremely excited, he had long wanted to quit that crappy TV station, and not only did they not give him a job opportunity, but they actually asked him to film a romance movie, and he almost agreed.

If his father knew that he made that kind of movie, he would definitely beat him to death.

"Happy cooperation!"

Xia Qingqing stretched out her hand with a smile. Mai Ye was stunned for a moment, then also stretched out his hand happily, with the corners of his mouth almost reaching his ears.

He can finally make the movie he likes!

He will definitely become very famous!
