After my bestie became famous, I also became famous

Chapter 259 Don't worry, Sister Meng, I'll keep my mouth shut

After dinner, Qian Duo asked Wang Shan to leave first.

It was obvious that he had something to talk to Su Meng about alone.

Qian Duo looked at Lin Jiayue, opened and closed his mouth, and finally chose to shut up.

"It's okay, Yueyue is one of us, just tell me what you want to say."

Su Meng saw his concerns and told him to just say whatever he wanted to say without being hesitant.

Qian Duo then sighed, "Sister Meng, it's like this.

An actor came to me and said that he had been invited by another crew. I guess he wanted to leave or wanted a pay raise.

She can indeed be considered a senior among this group of new actors.

It seems that he has some complaints in his heart."

Su Meng raised her eyebrows: "How much did you pay me?"

"Except for Yueyue, all the leading actors have the same pay. We are all newcomers, so it's great to have a role to play.

We didn't talk about the pay at all.

But I also know that Sister Meng is very generous, so I gave them 100,000 each.”

"One hundred thousand per month?"

"Yes, one hundred thousand per month."

Su Meng roughly calculated that according to the current progress, each person could get about 200,000 yuan in salary.

No matter how much this short drama can sell for, this is the bottom line.

Two hundred thousand, for college graduates like them, it would be good if they could find a job that pays 3500 a month.

Now we just ask them to perform skits, pay them and hire teachers, but they are still not happy.

Su Meng snorted coldly: “There is a lot of money, so let’s do this, you ask, anyway, the short play has not started shooting yet.

If you want to leave, I will never stop you.

But the premise is, if you leave now, you won’t get a penny.

In the future, we will not use them in any dramas invested by our company."

This is also the answer Qian Duo wants.

For them, it is a good thing to have investors’ support and act decisively.

I’m afraid that some investors will procrastinate, which only wastes time.

"Okay, just listen to Sister Meng."

“If there is a lot of money, we don’t have to hire only new actors. As long as they have acting skills, they can be hired. We can also increase their pay appropriately.

You are a smart person. I invested in short plays, and you should be able to guess why.

What I want now is speed, accuracy and ruthlessness.

As long as Yueyue can quickly gain popularity in the market.

In addition, the equipment has already been rented.

When the next drama starts filming, I can definitely buy these things with money. There’s no need to waste time on things that money can buy.”

Su Meng's words left Qian Duo dumbfounded.

He thought the progress was fast enough.

From the day he contacted Sister Meng, he was busy every day and ran around, for fear that this hard-earned opportunity to turn things around would disappear.

Unexpectedly, the sponsor still thought it was too slow.

Looking back now, I feel like kicking myself for having so much money.

Sister Meng made it clear at the beginning that we can form our own makeup team and photography team.

It was just that he had just got this hard-earned opportunity.

I don’t dare to really spend so much money from the sponsor.

The shooting equipment requirements are extremely high, and there are many other miscellaneous items. If you buy them all, it will cost at least 50 million.

Qian Duo gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Meng, let me tell you the truth, it's not impossible to buy these equipment by yourself.

But to buy it, it will cost at least this much money.”

As he said this, he held up five fingers.

Su Meng smiled calmly: "It doesn't matter how much money it is, I just want the result."

Looking at her calm and composed appearance, Lin Jiayue who was sitting next to her felt frightened.

We haven't seen each other for just a few days, but why does it feel like we haven't seen each other for years?

This feeling is so strange!!!

She lowered her head, licked her lips, and picked up the spoon to add another bowl of soup.

Before I could get the spoon, someone snatched it away.

Su Meng had been observing her out of the corner of her eye, watching her every move.

Seeing her somewhat unnatural expression, Su Meng knew that it was difficult for her to accept her current self for a while.

But Su Meng did it on purpose.

The current meeting with Qian Duo is just the tip of the iceberg.

There will be more exciting scenes in the future.

She poured a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Lin Jiayue.

“I have a lot of money, but not many people know my real identity, and I don’t want too many people to know the true relationship between Yueyue and me.

From now on, I will appear on the set as Yueyue’s assistant.

You and Wang Shan can choose to ignore me.

Of course, I won't interfere with anything on your set.

I just don’t want Yueyue to be gossiped about behind her back.”

You definitely know how much money this is.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be the four of them having dinner today.

Qian Duo smiled and assured: "Don't worry, Sister Meng, Shanshan is not a big mouth and won't tell anyone. I certainly won't offend the big money sponsor.

You don't need to worry about the others, as only a few of us know about this matter."

With his guarantee, Su Meng felt relieved.

"Okay, just follow me and I'll do it for you. As long as I have a bite of meat, you will have a bite of soup."

Qian Duo raised his eyebrows: “I’ll follow Sister Meng’s arrangements.

Then I will go and confirm with the venue again later. As long as there is no problem, we can start shooting the important part first.

The rest are on standby at any time.”

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

After finishing their meal, the two returned to their hotel room.

Su Meng didn't sleep well during those nights in the mountains, and was also exhausted from the long journey.

After eating and drinking, I just felt tired.

"Yueyue, I'm going to take a nap."

"Go, I'll take a closer look at the script. From what Director Qian said, it feels like we're going to start filming soon."

Lin Jiayue was a little anxious. Although this short play was invested and filmed by Su Meng, she didn't want to be a special existence in the crew.

I don't want to hold everyone back.

Su Meng fell on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

Lin Jiayue curled up on the sofa, flipping through the script in her hand.

Her role accounts for about 40% of the entire short drama, while the other female lead accounts for about 35%.

The rest of the supporting roles together account for about 25%.

But everyone gets the same pay.

When Lin Jiayue read the script before, she thought the friendship between the best friends in it was very good.

Now that I know Mengmeng’s true situation.

When she read the script again, she simply put herself into the story.

She can completely play the role in this movie in her true colors.

But in order to distinguish it from reality, Lin Jiayue still put in some effort.

In a blink of an eye, three hours passed.

Su Meng opened her sore eyes drowsily.

She rubbed her bloated belly and her throat felt dry.

It turns out that you can’t go to sleep right after eating.

After getting up, it feels like it has been rolled dozens of times in a washing machine.

I feel dizzy, have no taste in my mouth, and feel like vomiting.

She got up from the bed and saw Lin Jiayue sleeping soundly on the sofa with the script in her arms.

Su Meng secretly said, "Good guy."

What about studying the script?

After getting out of bed, I poured myself a glass of water and drank it in one breath. Only then did I feel refreshed both physically and mentally.

He took out his cell phone, sat back on the sofa, and checked the time.

It's almost five o'clock.

Su Meng hesitated whether to wake Lin Jiayue up, but received a voice call from You You first.

She raised her eyebrows slightly.

Why is Youyou calling at this time?

"Hello?" Su Meng lowered her voice, afraid of waking Lin Jiayue up, and got up to go to the balcony to answer the phone.

"Sister Meng." Youyou's slightly cheerful voice came from the microphone: "I have something very important to convey to you."

"Hmm? You look so happy, it seems like a good thing."

"Hahaha, our company has another major shareholder investing in it. Can you guess who it is?"
