If you don't take it, I will!

  "Su Mang, it seems that the movie thing has changed." Looking at Ye Su Mang's happy smile while eating, Old Man Ye pursed his lips and still steeled himself to say it.

  The phone call just now was from the deputy director of the film factory, and the deputy director on the phone very apologetically informed Old Ye that the director who had originally agreed suddenly changed his mind, so the movie might also be ruined.

  "Is there no one else who can film it except that director?" Upon hearing this bad news, Ye Su Mang slightly furrowed her brow, but she didn't become anxious. Instead, she calmly thought of another way out.

  "The key is that the director has funding." Old Master Ye sighed and explained: "The factory didn't want to spend money long ago, which is also why the directors in the factory all went out to make movies for others. And don't look at some films now with 'Kyoto Film Studio' printed on the production side, but in fact, there are only a handful of films that really have something to do with the studio."

  "Since they won't shoot, I'll do it myself." Ye Sumang bit his lip, and suddenly had an idea. Originally, he wanted to write a script to save the film studio, but unexpectedly received such treatment, so he thought of going solo. Because the film's results are the best counterattack, most reflecting the short-sightedness of the factory leaders and that runaway director.

  "What are you taking pictures with? Do you have money?" Although Ye Su Mang said it very naturally, Old Man Ye was still startled and shouted out in surprise.

  "Those directors can bring in funding, I think I can too." Ye Sumang replied calmly.

  "That's someone who has achieved something, what have you done? Are you a future student of the directing department? You haven't even touched a camera, how can you convince those investors?" Ye Xian looked at Ye Su Mang calmly and gradually suppressed his anger, starting to persuade Ye Su Mang. In his opinion, Ye Su Mang's idea of directing a movie was simply absurd.

  "I have nothing, but I have confidence. I believe this film will be a great one that audiences will laugh and love, and investors will make money!" Ye Sumang said calmly after a moment of silence.

  "I'm going out for a walk to clear my head, and you shouldn't be gloomy either, Grandpa. Heaven won't cut off all ways for a person, if Kyoto Film Studio doesn't want to film it, there will naturally be someone who appreciates him." With a sudden smile, Ye Sumang put on her coat and walked out of the room, her words also filled with confidence, leaving Ye Xian stunned on the spot.

  Ye Sumang walked away with a swagger, actually also releasing some of the anger in his heart. His anger did not show on the surface, but it was even more profound at the bottom of his heart.

  He was very confident in his own script, and also started with good intentions. However, all of this was denied by some short-sighted people, which touched his reverse scales. So Ye Sumang wanted to personally direct this movie, speak with facts, and tell those short-sighted people how big a mistake they made.

  "Alas, if only I could understand more ways to make money, it would be great. Unfortunately, my memory can't be used to earn money..." He patted his head and smiled self-deprecatingly. What's the saying "a single penny can bring down a hero"? He now deeply understands this phrase. Moreover, he knows that the budget for this movie is at least over a million, and with so much money, he doesn't know where to start looking, having never entered society before, he was momentarily at a loss.

  However, before raising funds, Ye Sumang also thought of Huang Bo. The film cannot be shot without funding, so Ye Sumang opened his mobile phone and dialed Huang Bo's number, preparing to explain the situation to him.

  "What's up, Huang?"

  "I'm studying. The exam is tomorrow, I have to review it no matter what." The sound of rustling pages came from the other end of the phone, apparently Huang Bo was reviewing his notes.

  "Let me tell you something."

  "I'm listening!"

  "The movie thing... is probably going to be postponed indefinitely, so it's possible that I won't be able to invite you for the time being."

  "What's going on?" The sound of flipping through books stopped, and Huang Bo's voice paused for a moment, also filled with a hint of questioning.

  "The director who had agreed to film this movie suddenly changed his mind and left with the funds, and the factory didn't want to invest either. But don't worry, Huang Ge, I'll think of a way myself, and we'll definitely make this film a success! When the time comes, you big star will have to clear your schedule, because I'll be keeping the role for you." Ye Su Mang explained very seriously, mainly because he was afraid that Huang Bo would misunderstand something and have some unnecessary thoughts that would affect their relationship.

  After Ye Sumeng finished explaining, Huang Bo's head appeared to have a very long pause again, and it wasn't until half a minute later that Huang Bo responded vaguely before hanging up the phone.

  "I hope Brother Huang doesn't misunderstand me as a boastful and reckless person." Ye Sumang sighed silently into the already hung-up phone, his smile now tinged with some embarrassment. He felt somewhat apologetic towards Huang Bo on this matter, but for now, he could only issue an IOU.

  The early spring in Beijing is even colder than the harsh winter. After walking outside for just half an hour, Ye Sumang felt like her whole body was about to freeze numbly. Looking around, she saw that a 24-hour supermarket nearby was open and quickly ran inside, planning to buy some hot instant noodles or something similar to warm herself up.

  There were no customers in the store, and the shopkeeper was a woman who looked to be in her thirties or forties. When she saw Ye Sumang enter, her eyes lit up immediately, and she hurriedly ran forward to greet him warmly.

  "Auntie, do you have instant noodles? I want a bowl." Feeling the boss's overly enthusiastic attitude, almost rushing into her own arms, Ye Sumang immediately took a step back, subtly creating some distance, but still maintaining a polite smile on her face.

  "What's with the 'auntie', my surname is Lin, just call me Sister Lin." The boss's wife heard Ye Su Mang calling her auntie and her mouth twitched in embarrassment, but having experienced a lot, she had thick enough skin to quickly adjust her state and even took the initiative to pull closer.

  "Lin... sister?"

  "Alright, you little sweet talker, I'll go prepare some noodles for you right away, just wait." As soon as Ye Sumang called her "sister", the boss's wife was overjoyed, her eyes sparkling with delight, and she quickly ran to the back, apparently to personally help Ye Sumang cook his noodles.

  Is my mouth sweet? Ye Su Mang was somewhat bewildered, just now he had only asked a question, didn't think the boss's wife could even hear interrogative sentences as affirmative sentences.

  But temporarily leaving the enthusiastic boss, Ye Sumang also had time to carefully examine this supermarket, which is a lesson for future filming.

  The place is not big, but the decoration of the whole supermarket is really good. The lamps are arranged in a staggered manner, making the entire supermarket without any dark corners. The placement of goods cabinets is also very reasonable, and various commodities are clearly divided according to their types, which shows that the owner is very meticulous in this aspect. What's most noticeable is that on the wall facing the street, two large floor-to-ceiling glass panels are embedded, making it easy to see the inside of the supermarket from the outside, and also making the whole supermarket look particularly bright.

  Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Ye Sumang suddenly found that it had started snowing again outside without her noticing. The tiny snowflakes fell gently, instantly shrouding the entire world in a haze, and also captivating Ye Sumang's gaze.

  Just then, a slender figure appeared in Ye Sumang's line of sight.

  It was a young girl, wearing a white windbreaker, in the vast snow, as if she had transcended the mundane world. At that moment, Ye Sumang was momentarily stunned.
