Elf Emperor, professional vase

Chapter 35

After wiping his face, Du Lei had to pick himself up again. If even he gave up, it would be the end.

Before this, Du Lei had encountered even more troublesome difficulties, but wasn't he solved them in the end?

There is not much time left before the filming officially starts, and Du Lei must find another club willing to cooperate as soon as possible.

The house leaks and it rains continuously all night. When people are unlucky, their teeth will get clogged if they drink cold water.

Du Lei now realized this deeply. Just when he was intensively contacting other troupes, he suddenly received another news that shocked him.

The largest investor in the variety show withdrew its investment, and the reason why the other party withdrew its investment is also easy to understand. After investing so much money, there was no sound at all. After evaluating the pros and cons, the investor must of course stop the loss in time.

Du Lei had to go to the investor's representative to talk in person, but after repeated talks, the other party was very determined to divest the investment. Du Lei's sharp tongue was of no use when it was in front of the investor.

After leaving the cafe, Du Lei sat dejectedly on the side of the street, looking tiredly at the pedestrians coming and going on the road.

Many shops on the street have been decorated with emerald green Christmas trees, which are covered with various shiny trinkets, attracting the attention of many children.

Different from traditional festivals, Christmas is more like a carnival for young people, and you can always see couples on the road.

The moment he saw the Christmas tree, Du Lei suddenly realized that Christmas was coming soon.

According to the original plan, the show will officially start filming after the Spring Festival.

But now Du Lei is not happy at all.

Maybe...he really couldn't hold on this time.

"The investors in the program team withdrew their capital?" Song Huan soon learned the news. He frowned and said to Meng Wen'an, "It's a bit surprising, but this way, Xiaobai's schedule will be freed up. . It will take some time before "Smoke on the Desert" is released, so it seems that we can only arrange other work for him."

"No need." Meng Wen'an said calmly, "I have already injected capital."

Song Huan:? ? ? ?

He didn't understand: "You are so optimistic about this variety show? He didn't even come up with a name!"

"It's not much money," Meng Wen'an said.

Song Huan:......

I don't know if it's an illusion, but Song Huan always feels like spending a lot of money just for Bo Lanyan's smile.

Illusion?

Du Lei has been able to walk with wind recently. Although the previous investor withdrew his capital, if the old ones don't go away, the new ones won't come in. The new investors will be more generous.

For this reason, Du Lei patted his chest and assured the spokesperson that he would definitely make this variety show a hit of the year!

"I swear!"

Although when he made the vow, Du Lei had not even found a new theater group willing to cooperate.

But maybe it's a good time, because with the new sponsor, Du Lei's process of finding a new theater company has become much smoother.

There were two troupes willing to cooperate, one of which was the Lantian Troupe, which was brokered by Du Lei's old friend Qi Chao.

The situation of the Lantian Troupe is not bad, but compared with Qi Chao who had to disband the troupe, it is just a little better.

I remember that another troupe, Xiang Xinmei Troupe, had just been established in China and was recommended by Song Huan.

Du Lei was already thankful to be able to find a theater troupe willing to cooperate within a limited period of time. It was a surprise to be able to find two theater companies in the end.

Amidst the lingering aroma of coffee, the man sitting opposite Meng Wen'an slowly spoke, "Brother, long time no see."

Meng Wen'an nodded slightly, "I didn't expect you to return to China."

Si Zhuo picked up the coffee and took a sip, "It is the teacher's last wish to bring the troupe back to the country."

Meng Wen'an fell silent when Si Zhuo mentioned the founder of Xiang Xinmei Troupe, Ms. Xiang Xinmei.

Meng Wen'an once worked in Xiang Xinmei Theater Troupe and received a lot of care from him. He also met Si Zhuo at that time.

Si Zhuo is a close disciple of Ms. Xiang Xinmei. The purpose of establishing a new Xiang Xinmei Theater Company in China is to fulfill Ms. Xiang Xinmei's last wish.

However, not many people are willing to come back with Si Zhuo.

Compared with the mature system abroad, China is not yet mature in this regard, and the audience is relatively small. In many cases, theater troupes are in a situation where they cannot make ends meet.

Most actors who are willing to join this industry have the simplest enthusiasm in their hearts at the beginning. However, not everyone can balance the moon and sixpence.

Many people were forced to leave this circle in order to make a living, just like the theater troupe in Qi Dynasty that was disbanded.

In the eyes of many people, establishing a new theater troupe at this time is completely unwise.

But Si Zhuo did exactly that.

"Speaking of which, senior brother, I want to thank you this time." Si Zhuo raised his head and said sincerely.

The operating conditions of Si Zhuo's newly established Xiang Xinmei Troupe were not good, but with Si Zhuo's temperament, he would never be able to ask for money from his former senior brother.

Although as long as he was willing to speak, Meng Wen'an would never fail to help because of the friendship between his former brothers, but Si Zhuo did not want to make trouble for Meng Wen'an.

Meng Wen'an shook his head, "It's just a small favor."

"This is not a small favor." Si Zhuo stopped arguing with Meng Wen'an. He asked curiously, "Brother, who is the person you told me to take care of before?"

Meng Wen'an turned on his phone and pulled up Su Bai's photo.

Although the appearance has been sealed a lot by the camera, people who see Su Bai for the first time are still very surprised.

"Is he your newly signed artist?" Si Zhuo pushed the phone back and asked.

"Yeah." Meng Wen'an nodded.

Si Zhuo suddenly chuckled, "If you care about him so much, why don't you participate in a variety show with him? With senior brother's appeal, it's hard to imagine that this variety show won't be popular."

Meng Wen'an shook his head, "No, I need some time to think about it."

As Shang Yujun suggested before, Meng Wen'an decided to stay away from Su Bai for the time being.

He also wanted to know whether his special feelings for Su Bai were because of the drama, or...

Affected by the characters, there are many couples in the entertainment industry who make fake dramas, but after the drama, most of them break up due to various reasons.

But Su Bai is an actor that Meng Wen'an is very optimistic about. If he is abandoned due to emotional problems, even Meng Wen'an himself will feel it is a pity.

Remember

Therefore, Meng Wen'an felt that he had to clarify his feelings.

Only then can he decide how to deal with his relationship with Su Bai.

The reason why I recommended Xiang Xinmei Troupe this time was, firstly, because I wanted to do my junior brother a favor, and secondly, it was also for Su Bai.

Meng Wen'an knew Si Zhuo's strength, and most of the actors who came back with Si Zhuo this time were also very good. It would be a good thing if Su Bai could communicate more with them.

"Then does he know what his senior brother has done for him?" Si Zhuo's voice passed through the steaming steam of the coffee and reached Meng Wen'an's ears.

After a pause, Meng Wen'an said, "It's not necessary."

Si Zhuo slowly stroked the handle of the coffee cup, "In this case, there is one thing I want to make clear to my senior brother in advance."

"Ok?"

Si Zhuo raised his head and looked directly into Meng Wen'an's eyes, "You know, if he doesn't meet my requirements, he might... not be too happy."

Meng Wen calmed down and suddenly remembered the actors who had been so ashamed and angry because of Si Zhuo's poisonous tongue in the past.

After hesitating for a while, Meng Wen'an said, "He won't care."

"Oh?"

"He can tolerate Shang Yujun's bad temper." Meng Wen'an said, "If Abai does something wrong, you can point it out."

Having said this, an unconscious smile appeared on Meng Wen'an's lips, "He will grow at a speed you can't believe."

"It sounds interesting." Si Zhuo had to admit that he was intrigued by Su Bai in Meng Wen'an's words.

Su Bai suddenly shivered. He rubbed his arms subconsciously and raised the air conditioner in the room a few degrees.

The doorbell rang, and Su Bai quickly opened the door. Outside the door was the courier who had contacted him before.

After thanking him, Su Bai took the express box in and took a look at the shipping address. It was the studio.

"It seems like it's a Christmas gift from the studio."

After Su Bai opened the box, there was a box of beautifully packaged apples inside.

Sending peace fruits on Christmas Eve means peace and tranquility.

Su Bai washed one and ate it all.

There was also a greeting card in the box. Su Bai opened the card with one hand, and an exquisite three-dimensional Christmas tree suddenly appeared on the paper.

This was the first time that Su Bai was given a three-dimensional greeting card. He was very surprised for a while, but after studying for a while, he figured out the principle of three-dimensional greeting cards, and thought that he might as well make a three-dimensional greeting card to give as a gift.

Throwing the core into the trash can, Su Bai took out a pen and paper and briefly drew a forest, adding a small wooden house and then a little person on top.

After a pause, Su Bai added another little person. He whispered, "There is only one person, so lonely."

While Su Bai was busy, the doorbell rang again.

What was delivered by the courier this time was a long box, which was wrapped tightly on the outside, making it impossible to tell what was inside.

The shipping address shown on the express delivery note was still the studio. Su Bai was a little confused. He had just received a Christmas gift from the studio, so what was this?

Could it be that the staff made a mistake and sent it one more time?

Su Jibai casually opened the outer packaging box and saw clearly what was inside, Su Jibai was stunned.

In the box, the handle of the recurve bow was painted red, and the upper and lower limbs were lying quietly on one side. The bow strings, sights, and balance rods were all available, just waiting for their owner to assemble them.

After the archery competition, Su Bai once thought about buying a recurve bow, but was deterred by the high price.

Just when Su Bai was at a loss, the phone rang.

After picking up the phone, a familiar voice came to Su Bai's ears. It was Meng Wen'an, "Have you received the gift?"

Su Bai's eyes widened slightly, "Brother Meng, are you talking about...that recurve bow?"

"Yes." Meng Wen'an said in a soft voice, "Merry Christmas."

A smile appeared on Su Bai's face unconsciously, "Merry Christmas, Brother Meng."

"Do you like the gift?" Meng Wen'an asked.

"I like it very much! Thank you, Brother Meng!"

After hearing Su Bai's answer without hesitation, Meng Wen'an's eyes became gentler, "Just like it."

"The variety show will start filming in a few days." Su Bai pursed her lips and said with some anticipation, "Brother Meng, will you come to see me?"

Listening to the expectation in Su Bai's tone, the word "good" almost blurted out.

The tip of his tongue touched the teeth. Not long after, Meng Wen'an's voice slowly sounded, "Sorry, there are some things that need to be dealt with recently, and I may...can't find the time."

"Oh." Su Bai didn't hide the regret and loss in his tone, "Business matters more."

Meng Wen'an's Adam's apple rolled, "Sorry."

"Then..." Su Bai said tentatively, "Brother Meng, will you come when you are done?"
