Chapter 72 Baoqiang is Moved

The next morning, Wang Shu directly went to the hotel to find Wang Baobao and placed his script in front of him.

"This is the script you mentioned? I can't believe you didn't lie to me!"

Wang Baobao looked at the thick script in front of him and said excitedly to Wang Shu.

Last night, he had already prepared to leave, as he didn't quite believe what Wang Shu had said.

After all, which big director or screenwriter would eat fast food for ten yuan a serving?

He had also heard from his second uncle that there were many scammers outside who deliberately tricked people from the countryside, and their methods were exactly the same as Wang Shu's last night.

However, after thinking about it, he decided to take a gamble. After all, he knew martial arts, so if he found out he was being cheated, he could escape!

To his surprise, this guy actually brought the script to show him today.

"When can we start filming? I can't wait!"

Wang Baobao said to Wang Shu with a look of anticipation.

"Not yet, but soon. I'll take you to meet a big star later!"

Wang Shu replied with a smile.

Then, he took Wang Baobao to the tea house where he had arranged to meet Qin Feng last night.

"Teacher Qin, long time no see!"

After Wang Shu entered the private room Qin Feng had sent him the address for, he indeed saw Qin Feng brewing tea.

"Big Star Qin! I love listening to your songs the most, especially 'I Want to Fly Higher,' it's so good!"

When Wang Baobao saw Qin Feng, he became directly excited.

This was the first time he had ever seen a famous singer. He had only seen Qin Feng on TV at home before, and this was the first time he was seeing him in person!

"And who is this?"

Qin Feng was also startled by Wang Baobao's reaction, thinking that some curious bystander had stumbled into the wrong private room.

"Teacher Qin, this is the protagonist of the film I told you about last night!"

Wang Shu placed his script in front of Qin Feng again and introduced Wang Baobao standing beside him.

"He's the protagonist?"

Qin Feng couldn't help but frown slightly.

Because Qin Feng had told him on the phone last night that he was going to shoot a military drama, but he hadn't expected Wang Shu to find such a protagonist.

So, he wanted to see what kind of script this was.

Five minutes later, after reading the script, Qin Feng looked up again and examined Wang Baobao, who was sitting next to Wang Shu.

Suitable, he was perfectly suitable! This role was as if it were tailor-made for him. The Xu Sanduo in the script seemed to be sitting right in front of him.

"Wang Shu, this script is good, very well written!"

Qin Feng gave the script a positive evaluation at this moment, as he had read it very carefully.

He found that Wang Shu's script was exceptionally well-written, so much so that he almost couldn't believe that such an excellent military drama script could come from a twenty-year-old young man.

"Then how much do you plan to invest, Teacher Qin?"

Wang Shu asked Qin Feng expectantly.

"From a personal perspective, I would definitely be willing to invest ten million for you! But from a commercial perspective, I can only invest five million!"

Qin Feng said to Wang Shu with a smile.

This was because there were very few military-themed TV dramas currently, and even those that were aired didn't have high viewership ratings.

Although Wang Shu's script was well-written, he didn't have high expectations for the drama to become a hit. He even thought that breaking even might be a problem.

"Five million is enough! I've secured another five million in investment from Sister He, and I personally have a few million more. The initial expenses should be almost covered."

Wang Shu said directly.

Qin Feng's five million investment was not considered little.

...

"Here, take this money. Wait for my news anytime during this period!"

After bidding farewell to Qin Feng, Wang Shu took Wang Baobao to the bank. He withdrew twenty thousand yuan in cash, put it in a plastic bag, and handed it to Wang Baobao.

"Why are you giving me so much money?"

Although this was the first time Wang Baobao had seen so much money, he didn't reach out to take the bag of money. Instead, he looked at Wang Shu with confusion.

"This is your advance payment. From now on, you're one of my people!"

Wang Shu said with a smile, looking at the honest man in front of him.

"My father said that one should not accept favors without merit. I haven't filmed your movie yet, so I can't accept payment!"

Wang Baobao directly refused sternly.

"Alright, then take two thousand yuan as living expenses. If you run out, just ask me for more, okay?"

Seeing that Wang Baobao was determined not to accept the money, Wang Shu directly took out two thousand yuan from the bag and stuffed it into Wang Baobao's clothes pocket.

Seeing Wang Shu so forcefully giving him money, Wang Baobao could only reluctantly accept the two thousand yuan.

"Brother, you're too good to me. I've been out for so long and haven't been able to get any acting jobs, let alone any payment... This is the first time I've received payment!"

Wang Baobao was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. To him, Wang Shu was undoubtedly his benefactor.

After leaving home, he had endured all sorts of cold stares. People even mocked and ridiculed him whenever they heard he wanted to act.

Only when he met Wang Shu did he truly feel valued.

Wang Shu genuinely treated him as an actor, and he was the only one who treated him as an actor.

"It's okay, just follow me closely from now on, and I promise you'll definitely become a superstar. Then everyone will be vying to invite you to act!"

Wang Shu gently patted Wang Baobao on the shoulder and said to him.

He had also experienced Wang Baobao's current situation before.

In his past life, he was not much different from Wang Baobao.

He was also looked down upon, and no show was willing to invite him to perform.

"Thank you, Brother Wang Shu. Although you are younger than me, I still want to call you 'Brother'!"

Wang Baobao wiped away his tears and said to Wang Shu with a smile.

"It's fine, call me whatever you like. You're not much older than me anyway!"

Wang Shu didn't mind Wang Baobao calling him "Brother" at all, as his soul was that of a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, so calling him "Brother" was not an issue.

"Alright, let's go have a good meal first, and then we'll get down to business!"

Wang Shu took Wang Baobao to a restaurant, ordered a few stir-fried dishes, and they had a hearty lunch together.

After lunch, Wang Shu and Wang Baobao bought two plane tickets to Longguo's largest film and television base: Long Island Film City, and embarked on their journey to Long Island.

Long Island was very far from Xiangnan, and the flight alone took several hours.

When the two arrived at Long Island Film City, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon.

Wang Shu first rented a shop and then registered a film and television company with the Administration for Industry and Commerce.

Then, he began to recruit talent within the film city.
