Chapter 520 He can take his place
【5300】
Huang Yi hasn't been in a very good mood recently. She was originally doing very well with both her career and love life flourishing.
Who would have known that in just a few months, the wealthy husband she had been dating for five years would be gone, and she inexplicably became a bonus to someone else's favor.
Although it was an opportunity to get in touch with Director Xu, it was not a loss for Huang Yi.
But no matter how I think about it, I feel aggrieved.
So when Liu Tao called and asked her out for coffee and a chat, Huang Yi wanted to refuse at first.
But then I thought, I don’t know when Huo Siyan will give me definite news, I can’t just stay at home and wait for her to call me, right?
Just think of it as going out for some fresh air.
Huang Yi drove to the vicinity of the coffee shop and finally found a parking space. He then walked half a street before arriving.
At Liu Tao's invitation, Huang Yi sat back to back in a booth. After ordering his own coffee, he asked curiously, "Why did you think of treating me to coffee today?"
Liu Tao smiled bitterly, thought for a moment, and then asked directly, "Have you and Yang Yi completely broken up now?"
Huang Yi's face turned cold when he heard Liu Tao talking about something irrelevant. He said unhappily, "Why? Are you here just to laugh at me?"
When the two of them were filming together, they each had the dream of becoming famous and marrying into a wealthy family.
Originally, Huang Yi had always been ahead. She was much more famous than Liu Tao. As early as 03, she became a boyfriend and girlfriend with the rich second generation Yang Yi.
It’s a pity that after five years of dating, she still hasn’t been able to become a wealthy wife.
On the contrary, Liu Tao started talking about marriage with Wang Ke, one of the four young masters of Beijing, not long after they met. In just a few months, she achieved her goal of marrying into a wealthy family.
Looking back at myself now...
Huang Yi suddenly regretted coming to the appointment.
"No, don't misunderstand me!"
Seeing Huang Yi was angry, Liu Tao quickly explained: "Actually, Wang Ke has gone bankrupt!"
"what?"
Huang Yi didn't expect to hear such news. He confirmed in disbelief: "Is this true? Are you kidding me?"
After all, he is one of the four young masters in Beijing!
"How can I joke about something like this?"
Liu Tao stirred his coffee with a spoon, but his heart was more bitter than the coffee itself: "Because of the economic crisis, Wang Ke's investments have all gone down the drain, and he is left with a huge debt. It is estimated that by next year, our house and car will all be used to pay off the debt."
Huang Yi was greatly shocked: "This, this is too..."
"That's not enough."
Liu Tao sighed and said, "I can only come back to film and pay off my debts now. As you know, I announced my retirement at the end of last year. At that time, I thought... I don't know how many people will laugh at me."
After hearing about Liu Tao's current situation, Huang Yi suddenly felt much better, and her dream of marrying into a wealthy family became less and less.
So she subconsciously said to herself: "Sure enough, it is most reliable to become a wealthy family by yourself."
"What did you say?"
"nothing."
Huang Yi changed the subject and said, "In fact, it has become easier and easier to make money in the industry in the past two years. I believe you should be able to pay off your debts in no time."
Liu Tao rolled his eyes. "That's easy for you to say. I'm not like you. I was never very successful in the industry, not to mention I've been out of the industry for a while - and I owe hundreds of millions of dollars in debt!"
hiss~
Upon hearing the specific amount, Huang Yi couldn't help but take a breath, thinking that even if the golden age of the entertainment industry really came, it would probably not be easy for Liu Tao to pay off this debt.
Unless her luck turns around and she moves from the tail end of the second line to the front of the first line.
“I probably won’t be able to pay it off in my lifetime.” Liu Tao pessimistically estimated.
"actually……"
Huang Yi stammered, "You can also choose not to bear this debt, as long as..."
Hearing the unspoken meaning in her words, Liu Tao shook her head vigorously. In fact, she had also thought about cutting ties with Wang Ke, but Wang Ke's family secretly warned her that if she wanted to flee separately when disaster struck, they would completely discredit her in the media.
By then, she can forget about making a living in the entertainment industry, let alone marrying another rich man. She will probably just be poor and destitute with a bad reputation.
Therefore, Liu Tao did not want to take this path unless it was absolutely necessary.
After pouring out his grievances, Liu Tao didn't want to continue talking, and turned to ask about Huang Yi's recent situation: "By the way, I heard that you and Huo Siyan are having a very bad relationship, but Director Xu behind her is now in the limelight, and you..."
"Do not worry."
Huang Yi said calmly: "This matter has been resolved."
This conversation with Liu Tao strengthened her idea of becoming a wealthy woman herself. In this case, the dispute with Huo Siyan was naturally nothing.
"Really?"
Hearing Huang Yi's calm words, Liu Tao curiously asked, "How did you solve it? I heard Huo Siyan is not easy to mess with. She used to fight with Li Bingbing and Fan Bingbing, and recently she has started to fight with Zhou Xun."
"It's nothing, it's just a misunderstanding. Everything will be fine once the misunderstanding is resolved." Huang Yi didn't want to say more, so he quickly changed the subject and talked about the recent gossip in the entertainment industry.
But Liu Tao secretly took it to heart.
She had found it a bit strange when Huang Yi muttered about being a wealthy family before, but now he had reconciled with Huo Siyan for no apparent reason, and he refused to elaborate on how he had done it.
There must be something fishy here!
Liu Tao is now like a drowning person, and naturally does not want to miss any opportunity, especially the phrase "become a wealthy family yourself" is like a bait, making her unconsciously want to test it.
So in the second half of the conversation, Liu Tao not only did not hide his predicament, but instead kept complaining:
What Wang Ke is still a playboy after marriage, and still has a gambling habit;
What about being splashed with paint by debt collectors and threatened to be taken away and sold;
What kind of mother-in-law and father-in-law can only bully others and obey debt collectors, but they hit their daughter-in-law hard.
What? Now her family asks for money from her from time to time, but she is too embarrassed to say that her husband is bankrupt and can only support her with difficulty...
Each and every one of those things makes the listeners cry and the hearers sad.
Especially Huang Yi, who, like Liu Tao, once dreamed of joining a wealthy family, felt even more grieved by these experiences.
Because of this, when Liu Tao wanted to take her out to get drunk to relieve her sorrow, Huang Yi did not refuse - after all, Liu Tao was not asking her to go out to drink, but planned to buy some wine and drink it at Huang Yi's house.
One is intentional, the other is unintentional.
This was a deliberate plan, so what is there to escape?
The drinking party started at 5:7, and at :, Huang Yi let the whole thing leak out with his big tongue.
Including Xu Kun's analysis of the future prospects of the entertainment industry; including Xu Kun's establishment of the Youth Directors Association and the lack of resources in the future;
Including Huo Siyan who has just returned to Xu Kun and urgently needs to "show loyalty and consolidate favor" in order to make up for the previous estrangement;
Including Huo Siyan's plan to recruit her to join the group and create a Yanyan Yifei idea;
Including the confusion and hesitation I have been experiencing these days...
The more Huang Yi spoke, the more confused he became, while the more Liu Tao listened, the more alert he became.
If the future is really as Xu Kun expected, then making movies to pay off debts will not just be a gimmick to fool creditors, but something he really has a chance to do.
Just wanting to accomplish all this, relying on one's current abilities is definitely not enough. Even if one holds a big bearded man, it may not be safe...
Thinking this, Liu Tao began to look carefully at Huang Yi opposite him.
After all, Zhang Da Huzi is already old, and he has produced few works in the past two years. In terms of energy, influence, and future momentum, how can he be compared with Director Xu, who is currently in the limelight?
Besides, Director Xu is famous for his ability to "pay as you go".
If you want to make a name for yourself, then you should naturally strive to be the 'best'!
Isn’t it just that Huang Yi doesn’t want to?
I might as well suffer it for her!
