After Rebirth, the Celebrity Daughter is the Medical Expert!-Chapter 27: Youyou Is a Little Rich Girl
"What script?"
"’Before Death,’ I wrote it myself." Cat Someone rubbed his fingers, feeling a bit uneasy.
This script was written by him, taking several years, with much thought put into it. He really liked it, and always hoped to have a chance to produce it.
But he repeatedly hit a wall.
If it wasn’t someone who didn’t appreciate it, it was someone who did appreciate it but had bad intentions.
Like that Wang Pockmarks just now, he had approached him before, and he took a liking to his script, but always wanted to adapt it in his way before filming. Would that still be his ’Before Death’?
This is also why he was so despondent, yet hesitated to sell the script to him for a profit.
"’Before Death’?" Ning Yi was curious.
"’Before Death’?" Ning Youguang exclaimed. You Guang remembered, the Wang Pockmarks who just left was Wang Ji, who had become a famous director in China’s entertainment circle in the previous life by producing ’Before Death,’ a critically acclaimed and commercially successful movie.
And the screenwriter of ’Before Death’...
You Guang pondered, she remembered it was Wang Ji himself.
If ’Before Death’ was indeed Cat Someone’s work, then Cat Someone was truly remarkable.
Wang Ji wasn’t very famous when he shot this film and couldn’t attract much investment. The actors cast were all newcomers, and due to a break in funding, the shooting was delayed for a long time.
Yet this film, without a famous director or actors, became a box office legend that year, and it propelled Wang Ji to the position of a top director in China’s entertainment circle.
Besides this film that did not credit Cat Someone, he became a leading screenwriter in the entertainment industry in the following years because scripts written by him all proved to be both critically acclaimed and commercially successful when produced.
Later on, any slightly notable director in China wanted to collaborate with Cat Someone.
You Guang remembered that in the previous life, her father had spent a lot of effort trying to collaborate with Cat Someone.
After the collaboration, their relationship was pretty good, but such good opportunities, where they know each other since they were relatively unknown, are rare. Once successfully collaborating, the relationship would be unmatched by others.
Ning Yi didn’t know what his daughter was thinking. He just thought she was interested after hearing it. Initially, he had no interest in Wang Yu’s script, but his interest grew now.
"Brother, could I take a look at your script?"
At this time, Cat Someone was not yet ’Cat Someone.’ People who knew him called him by his real name, Wang Yu.
A shabby, single guy who often didn’t even have food to eat.
"Sure, I have it with me. Do you want to take a look?" Wang Yu kind of wanted Ning Yi to see his script.
He had observed Ning Yi, knowing he graduated from the film academy’s directing department and usually had his ideas about work.
Originally, their relationship wasn’t close; Ning Yi was young and worked as a director’s assistant in a crew, never having directed.
He hadn’t thought about showing his script, but now that they had this encounter, and the conversation got more and more engaging, he felt a sense of shared interests.
Ning Yi took the script printed and bound by Wang Yu from his bag and quickly started looking through it.
You Guang leaned over to look at a few pages, realizing it was indeed the movie from the previous life that made Wang Ji famous. She felt slightly excited but remained calm on the outside.
Cat Someone, next to him, watched father and daughter reading his script seriously, for some reason, his mood improved.
He wasn’t anxious, eating the rare feast beside them and letting them take their time.
"How is it?" Cat Someone asked after Ning Yi closed the script.
"Feels quite fresh," Ning Yi pondered, "It’s a rare subject nowadays."
"Do you think it can be filmed?" Cat Someone felt some anxiety in his heart.
He knew he had talent and felt his script was good, but after hitting too many walls, he couldn’t help but gradually doubt himself.
"Brother, to be honest, I think your script is good. It can definitely be filmed, but if I were to shoot it, I’d have to think about it. You know, making a film isn’t something you can just decide to do."
"Your words are enough," Cat Someone knew what Ning Yi said was honest and thought there might be no hope, but wasn’t disappointed.
He had been rejected too many times.
After the meal, Cat Someone left first with the script.
The remaining father and daughter sat in the restaurant, looking at his thin departing figure, remained silent for a moment.
As Cat Someone’s figure completely vanished from sight, You Guang couldn’t resist smiling and said to Ning Yi:
"Dad, you should film Uncle Wang’s script."
"Youyou, darling, you want Dad to film that movie?" Ning Yi rarely saw his daughter so happy and was curious as well as a bit pleased.
"Yes." You Guang nodded, very sure, "If you feel you have the ability to make a good film, then you should film it."
"I definitely have the ability to do it well." Ning Yi was confident in his professional abilities.
"I trust you, Dad." You Guang laughed, "So if you want to do it, go ahead."
"But..." Being entrusted so by his daughter, Ning Yi felt full of strength, yet reality made him hesitate.
"But you don’t have money, right?"
Being so bluntly pointed out by his daughter, Ning Yi’s fair and handsome face turned red, and he awkwardly pretended to drink water, coughing a couple of times.
"It’s okay if you don’t have money, Dad. I have money."
"Making films isn’t a small amount of money," Ning Yi sighed.
"Then tell me how much is needed, we can figure out a way together."
No matter how much is invested, eventually, it can be earned back.
"At least ten million," Ning Yi roughly calculated and reported a number to his daughter.
"Okay, I have six million, it’s all yours. Whatever is missing, we can attract some investment." Little You Guang seriously started accounting.
"..." Ning Yi was dumbfounded; he knew his daughter had some money, but didn’t expect she would say six million right away, "How do you have so much money?"
"My New Year’s money, pocket money, and money made from investments since childhood," Little You Guang counted with her chubby short fingers.
"Investment? What investment?" Ning Yi sat up straight, shocked from his previously slumped position on the sofa.
"Second Uncle opened a hotel previously, I gave him some advice that made him a lot of money. To thank me, Second Uncle gave me some dry shares of the hotel. Then when Second Aunt wanted to open a cosmetic hospital, I also invested in it. These two years, it made some money."
"..."
What more could Ning Yi say? With his daughter being so capable, he of course had to pick up Wang Yu’s script and make a good movie out of it.
Otherwise, he really couldn’t face not doing so as a father.
"Still need four million more, I’ll figure something out."
"Okay, wishing Dad great success in earning loads," You Guang lifted her juice to clink against Ning Yi’s wine glass.
Despite feeling a bit of pressure, Ning Yi couldn’t help but smile happily.
Indeed, if this movie succeeds, it would be his first film in life. Just thinking about it, he felt a bit excited.
Especially with his daughter having such trust and support for him!
Ning Yi brushed off the downhearted sentiment accumulated from work before, feeling completely motivated. 1314
