Chapter 38 What’s the Point of Getting Married?

"Oh, thank you for the treat, my friend is here."

Xia Tian finally coaxed the waitress away, and before leaving, a note with a phone number on it was stuffed into his hand.

Peggy took the note and put it in her pocket - I'll write it on the wall for you later and get a certificate!

Xia Tian asked Quentin to sit down, while Peggy and little Pilo accompanied the guests.

Quentin is a tall man, just over 1.9 meters tall, with dark brown curly hair, a big head and forehead, a short but high nose bridge, and lips that look like two hot dogs that have fallen to the ground and been stepped on.

I can only say that he is a strange man and a future cult director!
Although Quentin was a little nervous at this time - he was a complete amateur facing investors, and he was a director who had made great achievements in the film and television industry, won major awards and had box office hits, how could he not be nervous?
After all, he had shot a short film in the store with his colleagues from the audio-visual store before, and the film was burned in a fire.

Who would invest in a director who has never made a movie?

But no matter what, he still gritted his teeth and started to introduce himself, talking about his understanding of film and art, and then talking about his own script... He was so immersed in the speech that he started gesticulating and using rich body language.

Xia Tian's attitude was very friendly, nodding and praising from time to time, and also giving some suggestions and inspiration. He quickly became friends with Quentin!
In short, Quentin felt like a close friend! He wanted to become sworn brothers with Xia Tian, ​​or rather, form a brotherhood with him!
In the end, the two sides verbally agreed that Shenlong Pictures would invest in his movie "Reservoir Dogs"!
Xia Tian personally invested money to help Quentin set up a small film and television company, and the two sides cooperated to invest in movies.

The total budget of the film is 150 million. Quentin's 30 US dollars and his script and director's salary are counted as as the investment amount!
This is already a very, very preferential treatment!

To be honest, in a place like Hollywood, many directors can only hope for a mentor to come along for their debut film!

Many times, you even have to sell your body!
It's okay if it's just women, but there are more male producers and investors here~
On the third day, Xia Tian had already said goodbye to Peggy and boarded the plane. On the plane, he received a system prompt:

"Ding~ Invest in Director Quentin, receive 20 exchange points, and obtain [Special Effects Techniques Information]..."

At this time, Pierrot should have just signed the formal contract with Quentin.

"Oh!" Xia Tian's heart moved.

This reward is quite interesting, and it looks like it can be used!
Xia Tian looked at the information and found that it was related to movie props and special effects, with many examples and some information combined with computer special effects.

This thing... how should I put it? It's not like giving those magical items directly, like the insect repellent bracelet.

But I can indeed learn a lot, but I don’t know if I will have the chance to use it?

Isn’t it still a bit early to shoot special effects or special effects films in China?
I have to check on the progress of my VCD production line when I get back! I almost forgot about it!

By the way, during these two days in the US, Xiatian also met a new friend, an international student from Shanghai who studied electronics and works at HP. His last name is Jiang!
Aunt D, Brother J, Sister P...

Xia Tian feels that his third generation is stable!
……

Xiaoxu and Zhang Li in Yanjing are enjoying their summer vacation.
These two female bosses, who were still very rare at the time, hadn't even graduated yet. How rare!
Zhang Li is more career-oriented, so even though she is on vacation, most of her energy is focused on work.

I go to work every day, handle various documents, meet some employees I have personally recruited, and pay attention to the progress of some engineering projects.

I also have to talk to a lot of different people on the phone.

With Xia Tian keeping things in check, there weren't too many people or things that were difficult to deal with.

Xiaoxu is different from her, she is more "lazy".

There aren't that many advertising jobs now, but there are also few competitors. Plus, with our relationship with CCTV, we still have a lot of business.

And it is an industry with very high profits.

Xiaoxu is occasionally responsible for some advertising creative plans, but usually plays the role of reviewer, transforming from an entrepreneur to a mature manager.

At this time, she had nothing better to do, so she went to Milan. Xiao Xu's Xiaotian Advertising Company had "rented" a small building next to Zhang Li's Fengming Real Estate Company. At this time, she was in a car, holding Sheriff Mimi, who had not left the house for several days, to go to Milan's Liren Clothing to see what was going on.

Sheriff Mimi is now 12 years old and a real old cat.

But he is still very healthy, even strong, big and fat, and can eat two bowls in one meal!

I am so lazy now that I don’t even bother to look for rats if they are not active nearby.

It wasn't like this in the past. Back then, a cat could catch mice in half the alley!

Xiaoxu walked into the Liren Company holding Mimi. The girl at the front desk was very familiar with Lin Daiyu and knew that she was a very good friend of her boss. Not only did she not stop her, she also took the initiative to say hello and even reached out to touch Mimi's big head!

The girl at the front desk said: "This cat is so big!"

Xiao Xu laughed: "Impressive, isn't it? This is the prototype of Black Cat Sheriff~"

Xiao Xu walked in holding Mimi, and heard Milan "talking dirty talk" to a group of female subordinates.
The female subordinates all blushed and smiled embarrassedly as they listened to their boss telling some ridiculous jokes.

such as:

Milan: "The radishes are rotting in the fields, my teeth are broken, and my wife is pregnant... Do you know why?"

The secretary, a top university graduate, thought for a long time but couldn't think of any commonality between the three items. She asked, "Why?"

Milan laughed and said, "Because it's too late~"

The married lesbians immediately understood, but the young girls were still confused.
What else: If you love a woman, don't let tears flow from her eyes~
What: What’s the point of getting married?

Milan: What’s the use~
Milan told a story excitedly: "I have a friend who is not young anymore and has never been in a relationship. One day, she was passing by an overpass and asked an old lady to tell her fortune. The lady looked at her palm, smelled it, and said, "Are you single now?"

"My friend was so surprised - you're so accurate! He asked the aunt how she figured it out."

"Auntie said - I'm too familiar with the smell of my hands~"

Yu Beibei: Could that friend of yours be me?!
"Pfft~" Xiao Xu almost burst out laughing and threw Sheriff Mimi to the ground.

"Hey! What are you doing as a hooligan?" Xiao Xu asked loudly.

When they saw outsiders hearing what they were talking about, Milan's female subordinates covered their slightly red faces and scattered like birds and beasts.

……

During this period, a lot of things happened inland.

For example, on August 8, the Black Panther band from Yanjing released the album "Black Panther", which contains a song called "Shame", which is quite classic.

On August 8, Wei Wei and Liu Huan also jointly launched the "Yanjing Performing Arts Circle Disaster Relief Charity Performance" in Yanjing.

Milan also donated 10 yuan to Xia Tian - donating too much is not a good idea, as it will put pressure on other singers.

There was an accident during this charity performance. The performance was hosted by CCTV, but Liu Huan did not receive any notification that night.

But he suddenly saw the host announce on TV: The next song was supposed to be sung by Liu Huan, but he didn't show up...

After he rushed to the scene and sang the last song and left the stage, he found that his bag was missing again.
He was suddenly tricked by someone, but he refused to do anything!
In short, it's magical and sinister.
　What is the use of monthly tickets?
