The Crippled Boss Loves Me - Chapter 177
Chapter 177: Investors
Zheng Youcai talked about the future planning of the movie. After he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Hanxing with a smile. “At first, I was worried about whether I would need to spend money to do the pre-promotion, but I didn’t expect Miss Shen to donate to the orphanage secretly. If you can help promote it on your personal social media platform, it will be more popular than if we spend money to promote it.”
Others watched Shen Hanxing’s every move. She represented the popularity of the news media, and it was still the popularity that she had obtained without spending money.
Shen Hanxing, who was looking at the fixed makeup photos of the actors, nodded without hesitation and said, “Okay, edit the words. I’ll post it when the time comes.” After saying that, she lowered her head and looked at the makeup photo in her hand. That photo was of Han Yin.
Zheng Youcai’s script was mainly about a couple’s daughter kidnapped by human traffickers when she was three years old. Therefore, the couple had worked tirelessly for many years, traversing mountains and ridges all over the country. It was a story of repeatedly looking for their daughter, disappointed, and not giving up.
Movies had the realistic reflection required by art films and the hot-blooded feeling of commercial films. The rhythm of the script was good. The second female lead, played by Han Yin, was the daughter of this couple who had been kidnapped into the mountains to be a child bride. She lived in the cowshed without food and clothes, suffering from torture.
Although Han Yin was a newbie, she took the photo with a lot of emotion. Her hair was messy, and she looked dirty and tattered. She crossed her arms and sat in the messy cowshed, only revealing a pair of red eyes. Her eyes filled with pain and despair. Just a pair of eyes seemed to say a thousand words.
Even the people closest to her could not immediately associate the girl in the photo with the lively and cheerful Han Yin. Shen Hanxing looked at it and suddenly felt a sting in her nose.
Han Yin was also there. She was the first to notice that Shen Hanxing was not in the right mood. She carefully leaned over and held Shen Hanxing’s hand. “Sister Hanxing, What’s wrong? Is this photo of me not good?” After saying that, she took a look at the photo in Shen Hanxing’s hand. She glanced at the picture. She muttered, “It seems a little ugly… but Director Zhao said that this is what the character should show teh audience. I also felt that this is more suitable for the role, so the photo ended up like this…”
How could a girl who had been through so much suffering be clean and beautiful? Han Yin did not put much makeup on when he took the shot. She only used the shadows to deepen her profile. Suddenly, the girl’s tragic background and black foundation made her face rougher.
Han Yin didn’t say she was trying hard to go on a diet to fit the role. She tried to be as thin as Zheng Youcai wanted before filming started. She could restore the role to the greatest extent.
It shocked Zheng Youcai when he heard that. He was satisfied with Han Yin. The little girl acted with great spirit and was hardworking. She would do whatever the crew asked her to do for the role. It made Zheng Youcai forget that she was Shen Hanxing’s sister and an investor.
Zheng Youcai was nervous. Offending an investor was not the right thing to do. He asked carefully, “If you don’t think this photo looks good, can I take another one?” In fact, Zheng Youcai was heartbroken. He liked the feeling shown in this makeup photo.
“No need. That is very good,” Shen Hanxing smiled and shook her head. “I think it’s pretty good. There’s no need to take another photo.” She patted Han Yin’s head and praised her, “You did well. Keep it up.”
Han Yin immediately grinned. Zheng Youcai heaved a sigh of relief. After a while, the staff handed over all the materials needed to Zheng Youcai, who forwarded them to Shen Hanxing.
Shen Hanxing posted on her social media platform: “The ‘Missing Girl’ is here.”
The moment Shen Hanxing posted, all the major media outlets were alerted and quickly looked for information about the “Missing Gil” crew, saying that the director of the ‘Missing Girl’ crew was a nobody. The role chosen was also an unknown actor. In short, this was an ordinary crew.
Many news media outlets said that someone had duped Shen Hanxing. She had to be careful not to lose everything. When he saw the news, Zheng Youcai was so angry that he stomped his feet. “Impossible! I’ll not let that happen!” As he said that, he clenched his fists, and his gaze was firm. “So, what if the public doesn’t like it? As long as the quality of our movie is good, we will have an audience. Slowly, there will be hundreds and thousands of people. There will be more and more people supporting our movie eventually!”
