Chapter 2493: Prepare to shoot a TV series!

Xia Fenghua originally thought that Wang Yue could succeed in almost everything he did, and she was even planning to flatter Wang Yue in order to get a role for herself. However, after hearing Wang Yue's self-boasting, she couldn't help but laugh.

However, what Wang Yue said is very right. It's something that anyone with hands can do.

Even if the picture is not taken well, can it not be bad?

Anyway, they have money, so they can buy a camera to play with it, and they don’t necessarily have to take high-quality photos.

The three of them just decided to do it, and immediately prepared to go buy a camera together the next day.

After returning home, Ma Siyi saw her grandmother worried, so she quickly walked up to her and said firmly,

"Grandma, please don't lend my mom money. She has remarried and is no longer a member of the Ma family. There is no need to give her money now."

Grandma Ma originally saw Ma Siyi coming and was about to serve Ma Siyi a bowl of porridge. After hearing what Ma Siyi said, she was still very surprised.

She was originally worried that Ma Siyi would be in trouble in the future, so she hesitated whether to refuse. But now seeing that Ma Siyi was originally a little unhappy, but now suddenly firmly refused to let her give the money, she asked curiously,

"Sisi, she is your mother after all, are you really going to watch her go to the south to engage in pyramid selling? That's not a good place!

If she breaks the law because of this, it will be difficult for you to do the editing work. "

Ma Siyi saw that Grandma Ma was thinking about her, so she certainly couldn't just enjoy it for nothing, so she smiled and comforted her, "Grandma, you know I also have shares in the freight company. Although the proportion is not particularly high now, it is still quite valuable. Even if I don't work as a teacher or other staff in the future, I can still support myself.

So, you don’t have to worry about me at all. I don’t want to make grandma feel bad because of me.”

Grandma Ma didn't expect that the little person she raised would now start to care about her feelings. She was so happy in her heart.

Moreover, she now feels that her granddaughter is getting older, so she and her daughters will think about this carefully in the future.

While the grandfather and grandson were warming each other and chatting happily together, Shao Xingchi and Zhou Haikuo also found Grandpa Zhou.

Grandpa Zhou knew that his grandson should be in Wang Yue's yard at this time, playing with his friends.

This is not just because Wang Yue is the boss of this small group. After all, when we are the boss, it doesn’t matter where we gather.

In fact, the main reason is that everyone accidentally discovered something strange.

In the Huai'an area, or near the canal, there are generally more mosquitoes because there is a lot of water here.

But for some unknown reason, there were absolutely no mosquitoes in Wang Yue's yard. Even within a dozen meters around the yard, the same was true.

Since the secret was discovered, not only did several children go there to play, but even some adults were willing to stay outside Wang Yue's yard.

Because of this, the children's gatherings were originally supposed to be in Grandma Ma's yard, but later they moved to another location because they were afraid of mosquitoes.

Seeing that his grandson had returned home before bedtime, Grandpa Zhou was very curious, so he called out, "Haikuo, why are you back?"

Zhou Haikuo had originally planned it a long time ago, but after returning home, he lost his courage and kept struggling on how to activate it.

Grandpa Zhou actually asked. Zhou Haikuo hesitated for the sake of his family, but still said, "Grandpa, do you support Mom to become a star?"

Grandpa Zhou didn't expect his grandson to ask this question. He thought it was his daughter-in-law who wanted to ask, so he smiled and said, "Why shouldn't I support this? Didn't your mother sing Kunqu Opera before? She was also a famous actress. Besides, being an actor is not an inferior profession now. If your mother likes it, I certainly have no objection.

Haikuo, why are you asking me this question all of a sudden? Did your mother ask you this? "

Zhou Haikuo heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that his grandfather had no objection. He felt that his mission was half successful.

Just thinking of his father, he shook his head helplessly and said, "Grandpa, I want to ask it myself.

I don't want my mother to leave. She went to Hangzhou, which is too far away from home. But I don't want her to lose her dream. After all, she will get old if she doesn't try again.

Grandpa, Brother Wang gave me an idea today. He said we can go to the Film and Television Academy to buy some scripts, buy some filming equipment, and then go to the school to find those new directors to shoot them.

Grandpa, our family is not short of money anyway. For the sake of our family's stability, it is completely fine for us to spend money on making a TV series to make my mother happy."

There was one thing he didn't finish saying, which was that if his mother was filming a drama in her own crew, she wouldn't be so affectionate with others.

In that case, my petty father probably wouldn't be angry.

Mr. Zhou knows his son well. If his daughter-in-law is really satisfied and wants to film a TV series here, she might stay.

After all, TV series can be shot anywhere. The one in Hengdian may be a small crew, while the one in Huai'an may be a large production.

So, Grandpa Zhou smiled and said, "Your idea is good, I can support you, if you need money, just let me know and I can give you some.

But you need to convince your parents yourself. After all, it is your mother's business, and as a father-in-law, it is not convenient for me to get involved."

Zhou Haikuo certainly knew this, so he smiled and said, "With Grandpa's support, we also have two votes."

He was just feeling happy when he saw Shao Xingchi winking at him. He then thought of his brother's affairs and immediately changed the subject, saying, "Grandpa, Xingchi wants to talk to you about something."

Grandpa Zhou was originally wondering why Zhou Haikuo brought a stranger along with him regarding his family's affairs, but after hearing what his grandson said, he immediately understood.

He looked at Shao Xingchi and asked with a smile, "Xingchi, what's the matter?"

Shao Xingchi was anxious and couldn't wait any longer, so he quickly said, "Grandpa Zhou, I want you to persuade my dad. My dad has been writing books, but he hasn't achieved anything. Can you persuade him to write online articles instead?"

Grandpa Zhou didn't expect it to be this, so he asked with a smile, "What is online literature? Is it the tomb-raiding novels you mentioned before?"

Seeing that the old man didn't understand, Zhou Haikuo quickly explained, "Grandpa, online literature doesn't just include novels about tomb robbers. You can also write some historical stories, which are also read by many people."

Grandpa Zhou smiled and asked, "People who know history read books, why do you read it online? Isn't this a waste of Internet fees?"

Seeing Grandpa Zhou's confusion, Shao Xingchi quickly explained, "Grandpa Zhou, of course we can't just write history like A Step into the Past. We can let the protagonist travel back to ancient times and experience that turbulent era. This is also quite interesting."

Grandpa, I remember that many people love to watch A Step into the Past, and of course they will love to read this story too."

Grandpa Zhou finally understood what was going on, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll persuade your father later. However, I know you have good intentions, but you don't understand why your father cares about publishing a book. So, even if he listens to your advice, it may not be helpful."

Shao Xingchi didn't expect the old man to say that. He was stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion, "Then what does my father want to do?"

Grandpa Zhou sighed and said helplessly, "Of course your father wants fame and promotion. He wants to publish a book because with a book he can get subsidies and become famous, which will help him get promoted.

Even if he can make some money by writing online articles, we are not short of money. Writing won’t help him get promoted, so he may not be in a better mood. "

Shao Xingchi knew that Grandpa Zhou was an experienced man and would not do something without a purpose. He did not expect that his father was motivated by this, which made his originally happy mood suddenly become depressed.

So, he said helplessly, "What should I do? My dad is unhappy every day, which makes my family restless. I don't want this to happen."

Grandpa Zhou saw Shao Xingchi scratching his head in frustration, so he smiled and comforted him, "You all have your own troubles, but these are not hurdles that cannot be overcome, so you don't have to worry.

I will try to persuade him first. He may feel better if he understands your concern as a son."

Shao Xingchi opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. In the end, he thanked Grandpa Zhou and didn't talk about family matters anymore.

He always felt that his father might not be in a good mood just because he had grown up. After all, he could sense that sometimes the emotions his father expressed meant that he didn't like him.

He didn't say anything more and just made up an excuse to leave Grandpa Zhou.

……

Not to mention how Grandpa Zhou found time to chat with Shao Xingchi's father, after Shao Xingchi left, Zhou Haikuo found his own father and told him about his thoughts.

In the past, Zhou's father just thought that if he wanted to shoot a TV show, he had to live in a film and television base, and it would not be safe for a woman to go there alone. However, he never thought about organizing a crew at home to make his wife happy.

The main reason is that in Zhou's father's impression, making TV series and movies are too expensive, and their family may not be able to afford them.

After all, many film and television dramas are often said to have invested tens of millions of dollars, which also makes people conclude that the cost of filming film and television dramas is high.

But now, Father Zhou hears from his son that he can buy scripts from film and television academies, and he can also find students from film and television academies to direct and photograph. In this way, the cost can be kept very low.

Now that the family is not short of money, it seems like a good thing if I can make my wife happier and restore harmony to the family.

So, Mr. Zhou agreed, and then before going to bed at night, he took the initiative to tell his wife his thoughts.

The reason why Mother Zhou wanted to leave Huai'an was because she was unwilling to be idle. If she was always idle like this, she would go crazy.

But these days, when she really decided to leave home, Mother Zhou couldn't bear to leave her son, so she was a little hesitant for a while, not knowing whether to leave or not.

Hearing her husband say this, Mother Zhou felt a little moved.

After all, even if she went to Hengdian, she would probably only be able to start as a supporting role. It would be better for her to stay in her own crew, where she could be the protagonist, which is a condition that others can't even find.

Moreover, this was her husband's sincere intention. Mother Zhou felt her husband's love for her, and he was reluctant to leave his child, so she agreed.

……

The next day was just a break time, and Zhou Haikuo started clamoring to buy a camera early in the morning, so he directly pulled Xie Wanghe up from the bed.

Then Xie Wanghe called Shao Xingchi again, and the three of them woke up the two girls from Xia's and Ma's families respectively, and then went to Wang Yue's place.

After all, buying photographic equipment is such a big thing, and the other members of F7 certainly cannot miss the moment of witnessing it.

So, after having a simple breakfast at Wang Yue's place, they went to the mall in the city together.

However, the city’s shopping malls didn’t sell video cameras for filming, so they could only find a larger digital store, pay a deposit, and ask the owner there to help them place the order.

Just when they went to the city to buy photography equipment, Grandpa Zhou found Shao Xingchi's father and told him about what Shao Xingchi was worried about.

After he finished speaking, he added with emotion, "The child has finally grown up and knows how to worry about his parents. Since you have come to me for help, I will come here to advise you.

It's up to you whether you listen or not. You should have received the child's heartfelt wishes and feel that your love is worthy of him. "

Father Shao knew what Grandpa Zhou meant, and he couldn't help laughing. If it wasn't still morning, he would have to drink two cups.

There was no chance at the moment, so he could only say with emotion, "Yes, the child has grown up, and it's just a waste of worry.

What do they, as children, know about work? However, he cares about me, and as a father, I am very happy. "

Grandpa Zhou saw that Father Zhou was taking advantage of him and was acting like a good boy, so he didn't expose him. After all, this is the happiest thing for every father.

So, he smiled and said, "Actually, I think what the child said is right. Just like our canal, some things must be flexible. If you don't, you will end up in a dead end.

You also know about Lao Wu’s story. He almost died because he didn’t adapt.

You see, Boss Xie was persuaded to change his mind and start shipping, and now his business is booming.

Especially after the establishment of Future Cargo, many ship owners in the canal joined, and the original competition among cargo ships turned into a monopoly."
