What exactly was she thinking?

Why wasn't it completely clear that there was a problem with the funds? If it was clear, would Ms. Lan continue to invest more?

Questions kept popping up one after another. Not to mention Lao Zhang, even Xiao Wu had a severe headache.

"So, Mr. Zhang, what do you want me to do?"

"How can I help you?"

Lao Zhang looked troubled, as if he was constipated: Young man, I have said this to this point, why don't you come down the steps?

Do you have to say it myself?

yes!

Just waiting for you to say it yourself.

Wu Di still maintained that friendly smile on his face, but he just refused to let go. He clearly knew what Lao Zhang needed most at this time and what he wanted to say most, and he could definitely help him say it first, but

He just refused to speak.

And Lao Zhang, of course, is not ignorant of this mentality of young people.

Suddenly, I felt that the friendly young man in front of me had changed a bit.

Became unrecognizable.

Isn't he always very kind and anxious about other people's needs? Why didn't he say anything this time?

Is it still because of money?

Sure enough, when it comes to money issues, even the most good-tempered person will become stern.

With Lao Zhang's previous temper, now that he is being forced into a corner, he should have jumped up and scolded his mother long ago.

But now, he didn't do this.

Not only did he not do this, he even looked like he was in debt, as if he had a guilty conscience.

This is why?

Xiao Wu was a little confused when he saw it, and he always felt that it didn't look like Lao Zhang's usual personality.

Did Lao Zhang change his gender?

That is of course impossible.

It's just that Lao Zhang figured it out.

If you look at the current situation, other people are investing money and they are the absolute bosses. For example, take our previous collaborator Xiao Zhang. Although he and Lao Zhang have always had a good relationship, they did their best to help him produce movies.

However, if encountering such a situation, Xiao Zhang will also be in a difficult situation for a period of time, and it is normal for him to only be given 500,000 when he asks for one million.

However, this time it was different. Facing Wu Di, Lao Zhang had a strong hunch that as long as he promised to give money, there would be no discount.

He will give money honestly.

They will even give more, not less, and will take the initiative to increase the price.

Besides, Xiao Wu is one of his own now, so he doesn't need to be so polite with his own people. Therefore, Lao Zhang's current state seems to be humble, but in fact he behaves like this because he has full confidence.

Anyway, I am your old father-in-law. I have encountered difficulties. You can't ignore it. You can figure it out yourself.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just want you to explain to Ms. Lan so that she doesn't misunderstand. We do this out of necessity. If the local department doesn't change our mind, we don't have to rearrange the scene, and we don't have to do it from the beginning.

It’s overspending.”

Overspending.

Yes, this is the key word.

Why is Lao Zhang so anxious?

Isn’t it because the movie has already exceeded the budget before shooting has officially started? This is definitely very inappropriate.

It's no wonder that Lao Zhang's mouth seems to be glued with glue and he can't open it.

"So, do you want me to talk to Ms. Lan about additional investment now?"

All right!

Given his age, give him a break and stop making things difficult for him.

Lao Zhang shook his hands and quickly denied: "No, no, you misunderstood. It's not just about money. You know it, there's also a matter of principle."

"Ms. Lan and I will soon become in-laws. I have always been very principled. Filmmaking is a costly project. You know this, I know it, and Ms. Lan, who invests in movies all the time, knows it even better."

"However, what I want to say is that I don't want to leave such an impression on Ms. Lan. I deliberately deceived Ms. Lan and wanted to make more investments, or I could clearly control investment to a large extent, but in the end

But it went over budget before filming even started.”

"I hope Ms. Lan can understand that before she notified me, I really had no knowledge of this matter. I didn't mean to blackmail her money. These changes happened suddenly. Please understand."

After going around and around, he still refused to admit that he really just wanted money.

Wu Di was very sorry that this would be difficult for him. Wu Di had already given him a chance and took the initiative to mention the money issue. If he could go down the slope, he would call Ms. Lan right away and not say whether he wanted to get the money.

Yes, just to resolve the embarrassment, that's absolutely fine.

However, he still wants to gain fame and reputation.

It's not about money, it's about not damaging your own image and not letting Ms. Lan misunderstand you. Isn't this a lie?
