Chapter 384: No Money

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Seeing Lang Yu’s guilty expression, she comforted him. “You did very well in this matter. Just accept the money this time.”

In any case, even if Bai Chao did not have money on him, there was so much food there. He did not have to worry about starving for the next week.

“Wait until next Monday to send him another batch of things. If he wants to give you the money again, just say that it was my idea and let him come to me. As for you, no matter what he says, you don’t have to pay attention to him. You can even block him.”

Hence, when the food in the fridge was finished and Bai Chao was about to tuck into his packets of instant noodles again, Lang Yu appeared with another big bag.

At that time, Bai Chao was on the second floor. When he heard someone open the door, he stuck his head out of the window and looked down. When he saw the familiar shopping bag in Lang Yu’s hand, he immediately understood what was in the bag.

He sulked.

Of course, these instant food and other food stuff were better than instant noodles, but he had no money. Was he going to ask Tu Sheng for money again?

Bai Chao had the backbone to refuse, but Lang Yu had obviously learned his lesson this time.

“It’s really Hanhan’s instructions this time, so if you have any objections, you can look for her directly.” He placed the things on the kitchen counter and ran away, not giving Bai Chao a chance to trick him.

Bai Chao was so angry that he laughed. Seeing that he had disappeared, he walked over to see what was inside. Compared to last time, the things in the bag were much richer.

There was rice and noodles, instant food, packaged salad, cooked eggs, and milk. All kinds of nutritional balances were taken into account. It could be seen how much effort the buyer put in.

Bai Chao was very touched and a little frustrated at the same time. Hence, sometimes meeting a good boss was also a sweet burden.

After circling the area a few times, Bai Chao decided to call Yu Han. He wanted to say something to thank her, but as soon as the call was picked up, the words were on the tip of his tongue. After hearing Yu Han’s voice, he could only say that it was about work.

“I wanted to edit the film as soon as possible and send it up for review, but I encountered a problem now. It’s not easy to find a good editing team.”

Speaking of this, Bai Chao was also filled with bitter tears.

In the past week, he had basically gone to all the major editing studios in the city, but he couldn’t choose a suitable editing team.

As the disciple of the famous director in the country, Shen Wei, he had been learning from his teacher for a few years. Of course, he knew the top post-production team in the industry, so his first reaction was definitely to find someone he knew to work with.

However, Bai Chao immediately dismissed this thought after looking at the production team’s account balance. After all, it was quite expensive for a top editing team to take on a project. Moreover, they might not be free to do so.

Hence, he tentatively asked his acquaintances on WeChat. Indeed, he received an answer that their schedule was already full until the next year.

Hence, Bai Chao could only lower his standards and think of finding some cheaper editing teams. However, reality proved that he was still thinking too simply. There were indeed teams with cheaper fees, but their quality was not uniform.

Bai Chao was not very satisfied after watching the film they edited. There was nothing he could do about it. He had watched too much by following his teacher and had come into contact with the top resources in the industry, so he had unknowingly refined his taste.

To put it irresponsibly, as a director, Bai Chao felt that his editing skills were even slightly better than these teams. Then why did he have to let others earn this money?

Bai Chao thought that he might as well do it himself. However, he had the ability to edit, but he did not have the corresponding editing equipment and equipment. Hence, the problem went back to the starting point. In the end, it was still a matter of money.

At this point, Bai Chao also had a headache because it was ultimately his own problem. At the beginning of this project, he expected to finish filming the television drama with less than 10 million yuan.

Hence, in the beginning, the budget of this drama, in addition to all his savings and CEO Zhao’s five million yuan back then, barely met his minimum standards.

Unexpectedly, after CEO Zhao left, Yu Han came and even helped him pull in Ji Jun, his investor. Then, the investment rose to almost 30 million yuan.

Although this sum of money was only a fraction of the hundreds of millions of yuan in the big production teams, it was still enough for a school youth drama like his, which did not have many popular actors and had a simple setting..
