Rebirth has space, and the new love sends the bad husband to prison

Liang Sumei, Jiang Meng and director Tong Lishi met in a coffee shop. Tong Lishi's hair was a mess and he looked absent-minded, but when he heard that Jiang Meng agreed to be an actor, he was still excited like a chicken blood.

"Director Tong, what's wrong with you?" Liang Sumei could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Director Tong.

"Alas, as a second-level director, I have to do the screenwriting job in addition to shooting. I have several scripts waiting for me to write. I hope I can become a senior director next year so that I don't have to be so busy like a top." Tong Lishi rested his hands on the table and scratched his head like a deflated ball.

"Director Tong, I'm sorry to ask, how is your current salary?" Liang Sumei asked softly with a smile on her face.

"Ah, although I'm only a second-level director, I've been working in the studio for many years. The studio treats me like a senior director, with a monthly salary of 280 yuan and a bonus at the end of the year." Tong Lishi replied. Judging from his expression, he seems to be quite satisfied with his current job.

"Director Tong, the private economy is just starting out now. Have you ever thought about going out on your own?" Liang Sumei asked.

"Work alone? Haha, I don't have that ability. Making a movie costs a lot of money!" Tong Lishi shook his head in self-mockery.

"I've thought about it. Since Jiang Meng will be in Hai City for a long time, I might as well set up a production company and let Jiang Meng manage it. Director Tong, if you are interested, I very much look forward to your joining. The monthly salary is 500, 5% dividends at the end of the year, and box office commissions!" Liang Sumei looked at Director Tong seriously and said slowly.

Tong Lishi was silent. He pursed his lips and looked at Liang Sumei with suspicion. After a pause, he said, "The initial investment of a production company is huge. A movie costs tens of thousands or even millions. Small-scale investments won't last long!"

It turned out that he was worried about the funding issue. Liang Sumei thought to herself, I have 50 million yuan in my hands now, so a few million is nothing. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is absolutely no problem with the funding. I plan to invest yuan in the early stage, and I can invest more in the future depending on the situation!"

50? Director Tong was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. Anyone who could come up with 50 must be from a wealthy or noble family! Who on earth is this Liang Sumei? He asked doubtfully, "Really?"

Liang Sumei nodded repeatedly.

Tong Lishi frowned, "I need to think about it again." He has been working in Haishi Film Studio for many years. Although he is very busy, he is still stable and down-to-earth. He has long been accustomed to the life in the factory. If he suddenly resigns and goes to a private enterprise, he will lose the golden rice bowl he has held for many years, and he is also unsure. I guess his wife will not agree.

"Director Tong, I just heard you say that you have been working in the studio for many years. I think with your ability, you should have been promoted to senior director long ago. I have seen the movies you directed, such as the one "Love of Mountains and Seas". The beauty of the pictures and the moving storyline are simply amazing! Two of your works have won the "Huaying Award"!" Liang Sumei specially investigated Tong Lishi in order to help Jiang Meng to find a reliable path as an actor.

These words made Tong Lishi sigh helplessly. He knew that he was not good at socializing, and he was stubborn in his film creation to achieve a more perfect effect. He was afraid that there was no hope for promotion. However, he still had a little hope, expecting a miracle to happen.

"Director Tong, if you agree to join us, I will remit 20 yuan to you tomorrow morning as the company's initial registration, site selection and other miscellaneous expenses. I'm not in Haishi, so you have to take care of all these company-setting matters. After I return, I will remit another 30 yuan to you as the company's daily expenses." Liang Sumei said straightforwardly.

Tong Lishi was touched to see Liang Sumei so straightforward and straightforward, and that she trusted him so much after only meeting him once. He also deeply admired Liang Sumei's vigorous style and her unyielding character, and the treatment Liang Sumei proposed really made him excited. If she could really come up with an investment of 50, let alone 50, even if it was only 20, at least his monthly salary of 500 would be as stable as Mount Tai. However, he thought of some practical problems, "Ms. Liang, making a movie is a long process. In the early stage, I have to negotiate the copyright issues with the writers and screenwriters, and then go through my adaptation, and the configuration of the actors, etc., all of which take a lot of time, so you may not see the benefits of your investment immediately."

Liang Sumei waved her hand and said, "Director Tong, we don't have to be so tedious. In the early stage, we will focus on filming classics, such as The Scholars, Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Dream of the Red Chamber and other works with public copyright. We can select those popular clips from them to expand and adapt, such as 'Qin Keqing's Death in Tianxiang Tower', 'Lu Zhishen Uproots a Weeping Willow' and other stories that the people love to hear and hear."

Tong Lishi's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but exclaimed: "This is a good idea, it can save a lot of time, and it works!" In recent years, he has responded to the requirements of the studio and filmed modern dramas, and really threw the ancient drama out of the window. After listening to Liang Sumei's idea, his thoughts were also opened up.

"As for the actors, the main actors, you can talk to those actors you know who are unknown or have excellent acting skills but are not doing well, and see if they are willing to join our company. For the rest, go to the film academy to look for them. These actors you find need to sign labor contracts with our company, so that we don't have to find actors on short notice when making movies in the future." Liang Sumei continued.

Seeing Liang Sumei's logical talk, Tong Lishi actually had some expectations for this unestablished company. After all, the boss has both capital and brains, and is bold enough to get things done. It really makes people feel at ease to cooperate with such a boss. But this matter is not something he can decide on his own, he still has to go home and ask his wife. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I really hope to join, but I have to ask my wife's opinion first, otherwise she will lose her temper again, haha."

"Hahahahahaha, I didn't expect you to be a henpecked husband." Liang Sumei teased.

After Tong Lishi left, Jiang Meng stared at Liang Sumei with her big round eyes in disbelief: "Director? This... is it?"

"Well, it will probably work." Liang Sumei raised the corners of her mouth, and she also imitated Jiang Meng to widen her eyes and nodded vigorously.

"Is this company so easy to set up?" Jiang Meng still found it unbelievable.

"Dear, yes, it's that simple, haha." Liang Sumei laughed and shook Jiang Meng's shoulders. Jiang Meng came back to her senses and realized that the production company was really going to be opened. She went from being unbelievable to being very excited. She suddenly hugged Liang Sumei tightly and said with emotion: "Director, thank you. I was thinking that I would always feel lost in Haishi when I was wandering alone in the future, but you opened a company in Haishi and made me feel at home."

Liang Sumei patted Jiang Meng's back gently and comforted her: "My big star, you are my good sister. If you miss home in Hai City in the future, I can fly over to see you at any time."

"Fly over here?" Jiang Meng blinked her tearful eyes, her face full of confusion.

"You really have a talent for acting. You can cry easily." Liang Sumei wiped Jiang Meng's tears and joked. Then, she pretended to be cool and said, "You should film well. When we make a lot of money in the future, we can buy a private plane. When you miss home, you can fly from Haishi to Ningxi in a flash." Liang Sumei said while gesticulating exaggeratedly.

"Puff," Jiang Meng laughed out loud, "Director, stop joking. Only a powerful person can afford a private jet!"

"So, we have to work hard to make money!" Liang Sumei put away her playfulness and said seriously, "Dear, I'm not often in Haishi. After the company is established, all matters big and small will depend on you. Please pay more attention to it."

Jiang Meng nodded vigorously: "Director, don't worry, I, Jiang Meng, will make you a big crocodile in the film and television industry even if I risk my life!"

"Pooh, pooh, pooh, what are you talking about? I just hope that we are all safe and sound, no matter we are poor or rich, everything will be fine." Liang Sumei gently hugged Jiang Meng on her shoulders and said softly.
