Financial freedom starts from graduation

Chapter 263 A ship full of clear dreams fills the galaxy

"It's not 2000. The total cost of a single business card is more than 3000 yuan, not counting the one-time design fee of yuan."

Hearing Miao Ying's question, Zhou Wang explained with a smile, and at the same time felt a little emotional in his heart.

So mastering professional skills is the hard truth. The designer Xu Wenqian found was only in his early 20s and was only a little-known in the industry. It was said that he had not even finished a proper university. He just tinkered with PS and AD and earned yuan directly...

Maybe the time the other party actually spends on the design will not exceed one night.

The key is that the final effect was unanimously recognized by Zhou Wang and Xu Wenxi. It was finalized after only slight modifications to some details. They deserved to make the money. They are really good at it.

I will send my son to study design in the future... Oh, no, I am a super rich man, and my son can only inherit the family property, so that's fine.

Because it is purely handmade, the production of this kind of business card will not be very large, but ten pieces are enough in the early stage. After all, not everyone is qualified to receive a business card from Zhou Wang.

...Although he certainly doesn't care about the cost.

After asking Miao Ying to keep a few business cards with her in case of emergency, Zhou Wang stretched and called Yun Rou and Yun Lan to go downstairs to eat together.

……

The investors and the boss came to visit the studio together, and they must have a good meal today. In addition to the carefully prepared dishes by the seconded chefs from high-end restaurants, a whole roasted lamb was served in the hotel's courtyard, although it was late.

There are 13 sheep in total... Why 13? In addition to the fact that the number of sheep is just evenly distributed, there is another reason that I don't know if it is true or not, that is, the crew will hold a start-up ceremony tomorrow, and tomorrow is September 9th...

"?"

Yes, Zhou Wang’s reaction was exactly the same as yours. He really didn’t understand what the hell this had to do with anything.

However, film and television professionals seem to have always believed in these things, especially in Hong Kong Island.

In fact, the worship ceremony commonly used by crews when starting filming also came from the Hong Kong film and television industry. It implies that everything will go smoothly and money will roll in.

Investor Zhou Wang, boss Ma Yuan, executive producer, assistant director and several main supporting actors were at the same table. Just from the distribution of seats, one could see Zhou Wang's status among them.

This is mainly reflected in Shen Yutong and the other female fourth actress, who are the two best-looking girls besides Xia Xiwei. They are standing on Zhou Wang's left and right, and the atmosphere of red sleeves adding fragrance is simply full.

Female No. 4's looks are not as good as Shen Yutong's, and her figure is average. She is the type that looks good when viewed alone, but will be beaten by comparison. She is just young and energetic, speaks nicely, and doesn't mind having physical contact with Zhou Wang from time to time, so Zhou Wang has a good impression of her -

They are so generous!
When Shen Yutong sat next to Zhou Wang, several actors gradually came to their senses from Ma Yuan's attitude. It seemed that Zhou Wang was standing behind Shen Yutong.

What kind of fate is this!
Yang Hongni, who has been in the entertainment industry for more than a decade, couldn't help but sigh. Young and rich, anyone would wake up laughing in their dreams if they met such a sponsor, right?

After three rounds of drinks, Ma Yuan, who was sitting next to the fourth girl, patted her on the shoulder. The fourth girl understood and quickly gave up her seat.

Ma Yuan came over with a glass of wine in his hand. After drinking with Zhou Wang, he looked at Shen Yutong with a smile and said, "I remember that Yutong hasn't signed a contract with an agency yet. How about considering Daxia Film and Television?"

Speaking of this topic, Shen Yutong immediately looked at Zhou Wang, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear...just listen to him.

Zhou Wang hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then Mr. Ma, can you relax the restrictions of the contract?"

Regarding the signing issue mentioned by Ma Yuan, Zhou Wang had originally planned to come and help Shen Yutong resolve it.

Since she has decided to enter the entertainment industry, she must sign with an agency. Zhou Wang originally planned to have Shen Yutong sign with Qingguo Entertainment.

Qingguo Entertainment is the parent company of Meow Music, where DJ Jiang Mubai works. Since the controlling shareholder behind it is Zhang Shihao's younger brother, he is half a family member, so Zhou Wang thinks this will be much more convenient.

But after what happened today, Zhou Wang and Ma Yuan became closer. The difference between them was not that big anymore. And most importantly, Zhou Wang knew the real background of Daxia Film and Television...

Letting Shen Yutong sign with Daxia Film and Television seems to be a good choice. Of course, the conditions that should be fought for still need to be fought for.

Although Zhou Wang didn't know much about the film and television industry, he knew that the contracts for newcomers, no matter which company it was, would be very harsh. If the conditions offered by Lao Ma were not good enough, there was no need to force Shen Yutong to suffer any grievances.

It was a conversation between smart people, so Ma Yuan naturally knew what Zhou Wang meant. He laughed and said, "Don't worry, brother. Since I've proposed it, it must be the most generous agency contract. Of course, I can't give you the same commission as first-tier actors, but in other aspects, I guarantee you will be satisfied!"

Hearing Ma Yuan say this, Female No. 4 who was sitting next to him, as well as several other male supporting actors at the table, including Chen He, all looked at Shen Yutong with envy.

The top stars in the entertainment industry are undoubtedly glamorous. They can even earn in one day more money than an ordinary person may earn in their entire life.

But behind the glamour and beauty are piles of corpses.

There are so many handsome men and beautiful women, but how many of them can really stand out?
Because there are too many people trying to squeeze into the entertainment industry, some unscrupulous companies have even emerged that specialize in taking advantage of newcomers. Signing them is equivalent to selling yourself. Even if you don't become popular, the entertainment company will always find other ways to make money back from you.

However, Ma Yuan's words allowed Shen Yutong to skip the stage of "selling herself" directly, because the most important thing in the contract was not the share of the profits, but the "years" and "resources".

In fact, Zhou Wang had no idea, but he would not bother about the details at this time. The contract must be reviewed by a lawyer, and now everyone was just discussing their attitude.

So Zhou Wang quickly pulled Shen Yutong to raise his glass, "Then I wish everyone a happy cooperation in advance, and a great new drama!"

"Happy cooperation!"

After the toasts amid laughter, the next step was something that Chinese people don’t like very much but is a must at such a dinner table - taking turns to toast.

Fortunately, what they drank today was champagne. In Zhou Wang's opinion, it was not so easy to get drunk with this stuff, so he accepted it.

As the most handsome guy in the room, Zhou Wang naturally received the most toasts. However, at this time, the benefits of his status were once again evident...

First of all, Zhou Wang doesn't need to move, he just needs to sit there and wait for others to come over. Secondly, if someone toasts him, he can just take a sip if he doesn't want to drink, but the person who toasts him must drink it.

What a crappy drinking culture...but Zhou Wang likes it.

In addition to Zhou Wang, Chen He, as the second most handsome guy in the audience today, also received a lot of enthusiasm.

Because Zhou Wang did not express his opinion, Chen He did not rashly reveal his relationship with Zhou Wang, and Ma Yuan's attitude did not reveal anything. In the eyes of others, he still had a "mysterious background" and "extraordinary origins", so naturally no one dared to neglect him.

Chen He should be enjoying this moment very much. Although he behaved very restrained in front of Zhou Wang, Zhou Wang could see that it was actually very difficult for him to suppress the smile at the corners of his mouth.

But people are all emotional animals, so Zhou Wang didn't think there was anything wrong with being a little vain. In fact, if Chen He wasn't so utilitarian, how could he have helped the tyrant and personally given Endme to him...

Eh, it seems like I scolded myself?

The meal was finished in a lively atmosphere. Some people were drunk, while others were not.

When Zhou Wang went to the bathroom, he happened to see Chen He, who might be drunk, being helped back to the room by the second female lead Yang Hongni.

Zhou Wang lit a cigarette in the corridor, but he didn't see Yang Hongni come out of Chen He's room until he finished the cigarette.

Zhou Wang immediately knew... Chen He was done for tonight.

Shaking his head and smiling, Zhou Wang turned and left.

……

Nine p.m.

After the dinner, Mr. Ma continued to make noises with the old employees, but Zhou Wang was not interested in joining their second half, even though the female actress number four kept giving him hints with her eyes.

After saying something to Ma Yuan, Zhou Wang took Shen Yutong, Miao Ying, the sisters Yunrou and Yunlan, plus Shen Yurou who was called by Shen Yutong, and left the hotel together, planning to take a night tour of Baicheng.

After strolling around the ancient city of Baicheng, Zhou Wang found it to be boring, so he called Ruan Jingwei, who was leaving before dinner, and asked this local expert to help make arrangements.

Thirty minutes later, Zhou Wang brought the five women to Baicheng Port next to Erhai Lake and boarded a medium-sized luxury yacht.

The yacht belongs to Ruan Jingwei. It is usually idle and is only used when entertaining important customers. It is more than enough to accommodate a dozen people, so Zhou Wang and his group feel very spacious on the boat.

I have to mention that Erhai Lake actually has public transportation by large cruise ships, but the experience is only average, and there will be secondary consumption on the boat, and the ticket price is not cheap. According to Ruan Jingwei, it is better to charter a yacht yourself and spend an extra 1,000 or 2,000 yuan to charter a time slot, but the experience will be great...

The yacht was equipped with a professional captain, a female crew member who worked as a part-time waiter and a chef. After confirming with Zhou Wang and others, the captain started the boat, and the yacht drifted slowly along the Erhai Lake.

Zhou Wang looked around and took out all the wine stored on Ruan Jingwei's yacht. He opened a bottle of Balvenie 21-year-old whisky from Scotland for himself, and opened two bottles of Louis Roederer Cristal champagne for the girls.

Whiskey costs less than two thousand yuan a bottle, and Princess Louis Cristal champagne is relatively expensive. Zhou Wang has the impression that it should cost several thousand yuan, but they are not particularly luxurious wines anyway, and Zhou Wang will not be polite with Ruan Jingwei.

"Come on, roll the dice!" Zhou Wang took the initiative to shout while sitting on the circular sofa on the first floor of the yacht.

Although he was the only boy, because Shen Yurou was also present, Zhou Wang didn't feel comfortable asking them to play "Angels and Devils" directly. That would make his intentions too obvious, so he just bragged directly.

But after a while, Zhou Wang felt a little bored again.

The main reason is the personalities of these girls, which actually don’t quite match the atmosphere at the dinner table.

Needless to say, Shen Yutong and Shen Yurou were both reserved and shy. As for Yunrou and Yunlan, they were also rather shy due to some concerns.

So Zhou Wang was like performing a stand-up comedy, he was the only one making noise, which made him seem like a loner.

In addition, these four women were not very good at drinking, as they all drank a little during the meal. Although they were still drinking champagne at this time, they were generally drunk after only two rounds.

As for Miao Ying, she has her own professional code...she doesn't drink.

If Zhou Wang was alone with any one of them, he would be confident that he could make that other person become a little "dissolute", but there were more than three monks in front of him, so there was no way he could do that.

Later, Zhou Wang gave up treatment and just chatted with them casually, taking a sip of whiskey from time to time. In this atmosphere, the girls relaxed and talked more, which made Zhou Wang laugh and cry.

Hey, Su Yajing is still more interesting...

At a certain moment, Zhou Wang was leaning on the sofa thinking about something, when he suddenly heard Yun Lan's surprised cry:
"Wow, look, what is that?"

Everyone looked out the window following the sound, and then a look of surprise flashed across everyone's eyes. Even Zhou Wang, who did not have such romantic feelings, was stunned for a moment.

Because the scene before my eyes is so damn beautiful!

It was as if a sky full of stars fell into Erhai Lake...

"what is this?"

Shen Yutong couldn't help asking as she took out her cell phone to take pictures.

The waiter standing nearby seemed to have known that everyone would ask this question, and explained with a smile and a hint of pride:
"This is a unique landscape of Erhai Lake in Baicheng. It starts in August and lasts until November every year. Because of the fish ecological regulation work in Erhai Lake, every night, the detectors scattered all over the water area will light up. From a distance, it looks like the stars falling to the earth..."

After listening to the waiter's explanation, the girls finally understood. Although most people did not understand what "fish ecological regulation" was, it did not affect their immersion in the beautiful scenery before their eyes.

Looking at the girls who had already run to the deck to help each other take pictures, Zhou Wang smiled, then took the whiskey, leisurely walked out of the cabin, and went up the escalator to the second floor.

Without the cover of the glass, the dreamlike scenery before his eyes became more and more real. Zhou Wang sat down on the chair and felt comfortable again.

Amid the intoxication, Zhou Wang closed his eyes slightly and entered a state of half-sleep and half-wakefulness, until he heard light footsteps and a faint fragrance behind him.

Zhou Wang didn't know who was coming, but it didn't seem to matter. Hearing the footsteps approaching behind him, he subconsciously said, "You've come just in time. Let me lean on you for a while."

As he spoke, Zhou Wang tilted his head back.

The footsteps behind him paused for a moment, but then moved forward. When Zhou Wang felt the heat, he leaned his entire back against him with confidence.

The back of his head sank into a warm and soft space, which was much more comfortable than the cold seat. Zhou Wang couldn't help but sigh.

This size should be Tongtong...

Yun Rou and Yun Lan are not very big in size, so they should not be able to achieve the effect of blinding the ears.

The body behind him stiffened briefly, but then relaxed. Neither of them spoke. After a moment, Zhou Wang felt two green fingers touching his temple and massaging him.

Well……

With fine wine, beautiful scenery and beautiful women, Zhou Wang, who is feeling extremely happy, feels that tonight is not so boring after all.

"You seem to be quite good at this..."

Zhou Wang said with a smile.

However, perhaps because there was no response, or perhaps because of the difference in the scent of the perfume, Zhou Wang finally noticed something was wrong.

He raised his head slightly and opened his eyes. Through the narrow and obscured vision, he saw a rosy profile. The other person turned his head to the side, as if trying to escape from something.

Her eyebrows and eyes are graceful, and her facial features are somewhat similar, but with more maturity and gentleness.

Zhou Wang was a little surprised, but he was reluctant to leave this warm place. However, there was no need to pretend to be ignorant, so he just said "sorry" softly.

Shen Yurou hesitated for a while, but still responded in a low voice: "It's okay, Mr. Zhou, I, I should thank you..."

"no need thank me?"

"You have changed Yutong's life. Seeing that she is living a happy life now, I don't feel so guilty anymore..."

If Zhou Wang didn't know what Shen Yutong's family was like, he might not understand this sentence, but now, he roughly understood Shen Yurou's mentality.

Maybe in her heart, she felt that Shen Yutong had so many troubles because she listened to her mother and married Liu Chao...

But I don’t know if she has ever thought that she is actually a victim.

"What about your own life?"

Zhou Wang closed his eyes again and asked.

Shen Yurou's expression became gloomy, and after a while she whispered, "I'm actually fine. After all, I'm this age now, and I... I actually don't have any desires or requests."

"Is that true?"

Zhou Wang chuckled, "Then what about what I saw that day? Was it my eyes that were blurry?"

Shen Yurou's cheeks turned red instantly. She probably didn't expect that this was the first time the two of them had a serious conversation, but Zhou Wang would directly bring up this improper matter. This was totally beyond her expectations.

She came to the second floor for some unknown reason. In fact, she really wanted to take this opportunity to thank Zhou Wang for helping her sister, and also to test Zhou Wang's attitude towards the matter.

Now it seems that Zhou Wang is even more "shameless" than she imagined.

Shen Yurou became flustered, "You... don't talk nonsense..."

"Why, you are the only one allowed to do it, but I am not allowed to say it?"

I swear to God, Zhou Wang didn't intend to speak in this way.

But Shen Yurou is obviously 27 or 28 years old, married and has children. Logically, she should be a vigorous young woman, and a topic of this level should be calm and unremarkable.

But at this moment, she behaved like a little lamb that had never experienced the world. Seeing her like that, Zhou Wang couldn't help but want to tease her.

"I……"

Speechless Shen Yurou reacted as Zhou Wang expected and turned around to slip away, but Zhou Wang, who had anticipated the situation, stood up in time and restrained her waist with his hands.

Not as slender as Miao Ying, not as flexible as Shen Yutong, but soft and feels great.

Zhou Wang still had the leisure to make a comment at this time.

Originally Zhou Wang thought that Shen Yurou would struggle and it might take some effort to put up with her, but to Zhou Wang's surprise, he just hugged her like that, and as the two of them got closer, Shen Yurou was instantly unable to walk.

She even went limp and could no longer stand steadily. She just leaned on Zhou Wang and gasped for breath.

Zhou Wang blinked, quite surprised...

What the hell!

Shen Yurou, are you so sensitive?
