Chapter 289 Doing Zuo Xiaoqing’s Hair

In Cai Yinong's office, Qi Wei was learning about "Meteor Garden" from her.

"Have all the funds for "Meteor Garden" been secured?" Qi Wei asked while flipping through the information on "Meteor Garden".

"It's all in place, thanks to you."

Cai Yinong asked slightly worriedly: "The investment for this drama has reached 1500 million, is it a bit exaggerated? Will this affect the future sales of the drama?"

Generally speaking, modern dramas are much cheaper to produce than costume dramas.

Therefore, the investment in "Meteor Garden" will not be too high. When I first wrote the planning document for "Meteor Garden", I expected that the production of this drama would only cost 500 million.

It was very reasonable, but Qi Wei was not satisfied.

The reason is simple. The first planning document for "Meteor Garden" did not leave room for profiteering.

You know, most film and television dramas are obviously losing money.

But many of the film and television companies that produce these dramas are thriving, and some of them are even gradually growing.

In addition to some illegal activities involving money laundering, many companies will make sufficient profits within reasonable rules during the production of film and television dramas.

Just like the movie "Red Lover", it could have been produced with 800 million originally, but it was increased to 3000 million with continuous additional investment.It directly made the director who produced this drama a lot of money.

As for the drama "Meteor Garden", although Qi Wei and Cai Yinong's companies have invested in it, most of the funds were invested from outside, so there is no need to be as fussy as Hong Kong City TVB.

So at Qi Wei's invitation, the budget of "Meteor Garden" increased from 500 million to 1000 million, and finally to the current 1500 million.

Although the budget has increased by 1000 million, attracting investment is still going smoothly.

The reason is very simple. As the saying goes, if the squire donates money, the people will follow suit. Qi Wei and Cai Yinong's companies each invested 100 million, plus Qi Wei's personal clothing brand and some endorsement merchants sponsored hundreds of millions. Ten thousand, investors will naturally be interested in the remaining few million gap.

Qi Wei didn't even need to ask Boss Wu behind him to help introduce friends.

It was very easy to raise enough investment of 1500 million.

Hearing the worry in Cai Yinong's words, Qi Wei didn't care at all. He smiled and replied:
"How can this affect the sales of the drama? Let me help you do the math. I am so famous and asked to film this drama. It is not too much to pay 200 million for the film. Yuanyuan has just released a hit album. She is a well-known talented woman in the industry. Giving her a remuneration of 50 yuan is not excessive. Add in the veteran actors we invited with huge sums of money. The total remuneration of 500 million yuan must be necessary. Our movie will also go to Yangcheng and Hong Kong City for filming. This adds up to 1500 million, which I think is too little."

"It's almost the same." After hearing what Qi Wei said, Cai Yinong couldn't help but laugh, because she knew very well that if this drama was really produced, 1000 million would be enough.

Cai Yinong also understood the meaning of Qi Wei's words. As long as you can find a reason, no matter it is an investment of 1500 million or more, those investors have nothing to say.

Of course, those in the film and television business are not just doing one-time deals, and they can’t screw up those investors too badly.

Making the show go viral is the best way to make those investors speechless.

"If you think 1500 million is not enough, I happen to have another investor here who is interested."

Cai Yinong suddenly said, and then continued: "A boss named Chen Jingfei contacted me. He said that he had greeted you before and he wanted to invest in our drama. There is only one condition, which is to put his goddaughter in In our drama."

"I remember there is no suitable role for his goddaughter in our drama."

"There is no need to increase it. Anyway, he doesn't ask for a certain number of scenes. There is no need for us to struggle with money."

Qi Wei thought for a moment and shook his head, "There is no need to change the plan just for her. Our company's "Little Li Flying Knife" project has a role that suits her just right."

"You're not talking about the character Long Xiaoyun, are you?" Cai Yinong asked with a frown after recalling.

Qi Wei nodded, "We are about the same age. We just need to dress up as men. Children are not a big problem, so you don't need to worry about this matter. I will let Li Xue contact him."

Qi Wei suddenly thought of something again, and continued: "By the way, there is a game in Wanwan called "Legend of Sword and Fairy" that is very popular. I saw the plot of that game and it is very suitable for adapting into a TV series. You can try to contact them to get it. Get the film and television adaptation rights.”

"I know, I will contact them as soon as possible"

After chatting about some more details, and having almost understood it, Qi Wei was about to leave when he was hooked and pushed by Cai Yinong.

"The door has been locked. The sound insulation effect in this office is very good." She licked her lips seductively towards Qi Wei.

The implication is already obvious.

"I only need 15 minute."

"Uh"

But Gao Yuanyuan is outside.

There seemed to be no reason to refuse now, especially since she had already leaned into action.

It was indeed exciting, especially when Gao Yuanyuan called within the past 15 minutes.

"Aren't you finished talking yet?" Gao Yuanyuan asked on the phone.

"I'm the boss, so I have to understand it clearly. The discussion will be over soon. I will be out in 10 minutes at most."

"Okay, I'll wait for you." She didn't notice anything strange.

This is understandable. After all, Cai Yinong is not an artist. Although she looks relatively pretty, she is not ranked in the entertainment industry at all. She is far inferior to those beautiful actors in the industry. She did not realize that Qi Wei would be "unselective" to such an extent. situation.

But sometimes conquering these strong women is more fulfilling than conquering those beautiful women.

Time soon came to the second day.

"Hey, why did you come to my dressing room? After knocking on the door and seeing Qi Wei walking in, Zuo Xiaoqing asked in surprise.

This Gao Yuanyuan seems to be in the dressing room next door. Is it possible that you want to play something exciting?
Zuo Xiaoqing knew very well Gao Yuanyuan's position in Qi Wei's heart.

The mature Zuo Xiaoqing can act non-competitively, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want to come from behind and replace Gao Yuanyuan's position.

"I came here to see how they styled you."

Qi Wei smiled at Zuo Xiaoqing, and then made a gesture with his eyes, and the stylists and costumers in the room began to work.

Qi Wei has been busy with his new album and concerts, and has no time to take care of many things. "Meteor Garden" has always been handled by Cai Yinong and Wu Ershan.

But Qi Wei wanted to show trend-setting fashion in the drama "Meteor Garden", but Cai Yinong and the others did not have Qi Wei's vision for the future, and obviously could not meet Qi Wei's requirements.

This is true even for the stylists and costumers who spend a lot of money to hire the top-notch stylists and costumers in the industry.

Of course Qi Wei still wants to see is believing.

In "Meteor Garden", Zuo Xiaoqing plays Hua Zelei's secret crush on the school girl. She is a well-educated and sensible wealthy daughter, and is considered the most fashionable character in the show.

This is also the reason why Qi Wei came to her dressing room.

Facts have proven this to be the case. Just as Qi Wei expected, Zuo Xiaoqing was given seven or eight sets of clothes in one morning, four or five looks, all of which were far from what Qi Wei had imagined.This is related to Zuo Xiaoqing's "worry" and "absent-mindedness", but more importantly, it is the lack of fashion vision among the stylists.

"Her face shape is not suitable for such bangs. Her eyeliner is too light, her eyebrows are too curved, and she lacks the sense of fashion I want." After lunch, the afternoon continued. After Zuo Xiaoqing changed two styles and was still not satisfied, Qi Wei Said this to the stylist.

"Mr. Qi, you need a sense of fashion. This is already very fashionable. It is popular in Europe and the United States now." A stylist named Yu Duo sighed and rolled his eyes covertly.

"Then I'll do it this time." Qi Wei was not polite to him and immediately asked Zuo Xiaoqing to go to the back room.

"Mr. Qi, what are you doing?" Yu Duo asked immediately, with a faint look of dissatisfaction between his eyebrows.

The group of people who stand at the forefront of fashion usually have their own pride. What's more, their hard work is denied and they are interfered by people who don't know how to do it. Not to mention stylists, even programmers can't bear it. ah.

The problem is that the domestic stylists and designers and their foreign counterparts have not fully learned the exquisite skills, but they have learned a lot of arrogance.

"Give her a look," Qi Wei said simply: Don't you disagree with my opinion?Then let’s speak with facts. "

After saying that, he directly took Zuo Xiaoqing to the back room. Yu Duo moved his mouth, but in the end, no words came out.

"Brother Yu, this man is too picky, isn't he?" An assistant immediately came over to correct the injustice.

"It's okay, let's see what kind of look he can make." Yu Duo snorted.

He is not stupid. After all, the other party is a big customer. If you are dissatisfied, you will be dissatisfied. If you dare to criticize the customer and give up your responsibility, don't do it in the future.

"When the time comes, if you can't do it well, remember to state the problem clearly." Yu Duo said immediately, with a leisurely tone, and the meaning contained in it made several assistants burst into laughter.

It's hard to talk about other things, but if someone comes to criticize you professionally, what else can you say?
What's more, you were the one who made the first decision.

At this moment, several costume assistants who had stayed in the inner room all came out.

"What's going on?" Yu Duo asked quickly.

The costume designer, who was watching the show, also came up to him in surprise: "What happened?"

"I don't know," several assistants were also confused, "Mr. Qi brought Miss Zuo in and then asked us to come out."

Yu Duo and the stylist exchanged glances, and both sneered.

I know you are a big star and you became famous at a young age but you are too arrogant.

Qi Wei naturally doesn't know what the stylists and costume designers outside think. Maybe he knows, but he doesn't care at all.

If you really reach the level I require, then I will definitely respect you. If you are not good enough and still pretend, then I'm sorry.

"This one, this one, and this one." After selecting a few clothes from the simple mobile hangers brought by the costume designer, Qi Wei brought them to Zuo Xiaoqing, "Come on, put them on and try them on."

"Oh..." Zuo Xiaoqing also wanted to know how Qi Wei would dress herself up, so she honestly took her clothes and went to the back of the simple changing room.

You know, the so-called simple dressing room is equivalent to a small cubicle surrounded by screens. It is generally used by singers at concerts to quickly change their clothes backstage.

Although the shelves on all sides are covered with white opaque curtains, if the light is too bright, the human form can always be seen faintly.

There was a rustling sound for a moment, and Zuo Xiaoqing finally came out of the changing room.

A black top with lace and hollows, a hip-hugging skirt of the same color, and a goose-yellow sleeveless windbreaker.If it weren't for the slightly hunched shoulders, a bit nervous and unconfident, it would be a good clothes rack.

"Take a turn." Qi Wei said after nodding.

Zuo Xiaoqing still obeyed his instructions and posed in circles. After struggling like this for a few minutes, he said again: "It's almost done. Come sit in front of the dressing table and I will do your hair."

"Huh?" Zuo Xiaoqing finally showed a surprised look.

"Hey, what's wrong? Your current hairstyle is not suitable. Come here quickly." Qi Wei greeted, "Don't worry, it's really your hair."

Zuo Xiaoqing naturally couldn't understand it now, so he had to sit in front of the dressing table, looked at himself in the glasses, closed his eyes immediately, and pursed his mouth tightly, as if he was looking forward to death.

Qi Wei shook his head with a smile, picked up the tool and started drawing on her head without any hesitation, and he was very fluent.It's definitely not as good as a professional, but there's no problem at all in getting the look you want.

What's more, there is no need for too much elaboration. That is the matter of the stylist and hairstylist. He is not arrogant enough to think that he can see everything.

Qi Wei quickly finished her hairstyle, but it wasn't over yet. Qi Wei opened the cosmetic case on the three inner and outer floors, picked out the suitable ones, came to Zuo Xiaoqing, and found a stool to sit down on.

"Now, I'm going to put makeup on you. Don't move around and obey my orders." Qi Wei said.

"Well..." Zuo Xiaoqing, whose eyes were still closed, nodded repeatedly.

However, when he lowered his head to pick out the foundation, he opened it slightly and closed it tightly again the moment he raised his head.

Qi Wei quickly started sketching on her face. Zuo Xiaoqing's skin was tender, full of moisture, and elastic. If he wasn't working, he would have wanted to pinch it a few more times.

Well, actually, he was squeezing it and it felt really good.

"Open your eyes." Qi Wei said at this time.

"Ah?" A trace of panic flashed across her pretty face, and Zuo Xiaoqing opened her eyes, barely remaining calm.

Qi Wei said nothing and continued to draw the line on her eyes carefully and very accurately.

His breathing, which was already somewhat rapid, began to become even more rapid, and Qi Wei was still busy as if he couldn't see it.When he felt that the angle was not right, he simply stood up and bent over to continue. When bending over still didn't work, he bent his legs again.

After sketching a few more strokes, he still felt that it was not very good. No matter whether he bent his legs or bent over, he had blind spots and could not achieve the feeling he wanted.

After changing several positions like this, Qi Wei simply pulled up the chair and sat down.

"Get on my lap."

"Ok?"

It's exactly what I thought.

Zuo Xiaoqing laughed meaningfully and sat on his lap obediently.

"This is much better." Qi Wei, who was leaning on the chair, showed a satisfied look, and immediately picked up the eyeliner and outlined it again.

The two of them were so close that there were even several times when their noses were only a few microns apart, and the hot breath hit their faces.As a result, Zuo Xiaoqing's face slowly turned red, and finally almost dripped with water, and his eyes were gradually covered with moisture, hazy and extremely attractive.

Finally, Qi Wei put away his pen, showed a satisfied smile and took a long breath, as if he had finally completed a good work.

Then, Zuo Xiaoqing leaned forward and kissed Qi Wei's mouth proactively.

Hugging Qi Wei's head, it turned into a kiss again
