Xiao He sometimes really thinks that some people in the industry are quite amazing.

Of course, the word "god" can have both positive and negative connotations.

After Deng Lei finished his phone call and returned, he briefly discussed the upcoming arrangements with Xiao He and the others.

"...First, we'll have the costume fitting, then meet with the other actors. A few actors from Yunheng Entertainment will be arriving later, and then..."

Xiao He listened briefly; it was nothing more than the usual itinerary. He nodded directly, "Okay, we have no problem."

As for the artist who would be late mentioned by Deng Lei, Xiao He knew without a doubt that it would be Yuan Sitong.

Wasn't it the same when filming "The Corner"? He was so tired of criticizing Yuan Sitong, the queen of lateness.

Xiao He gave Liu Rulan a look.

Liu Rulan immediately pressed on, "I checked, and our scenes for this shoot are at Qianye Manor. There will definitely be a lot of action scenes. Xiao He has already received training beforehand, so filming shouldn't be a problem, but what about the others..."

Fortunately, Deng Lei wasn't the kind of director who was single-minded and lacked emotional intelligence. After all, what he did most often was to play the victim with different investors in order to get more investment, so Deng Lei almost immediately understood Liu Rulan's unspoken meaning.

He immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, we've already made arrangements for the others."

Yuan Sitong has a powerful background. There are some negative rumors about her online, but not many, and they won't affect her career. However, any artist who has worked with Yuan Sitong knows how difficult she is to deal with.

She has a spoiled, spoiled attitude, is late or leaves early, gossips behind people's backs, is unprofessional, and has a poor work ethic...

If you insist on saying she has some earth-shattering scandal, well, there really isn't! And given the tolerant environment of the Chinese entertainment industry, her flaws aren't enough to make her leave.

So what else can we do? We can only give in to her.

In any case, so far, Yuan Sitong has really not done anything bad to Xiao He.

"Teacher Yuan has a dedicated stunt double who has already started training, so there's no need to worry."

Deng Lei truly understood Xiao He and the others' concerns, and bluntly stated, "It just means that Teacher Xiao might have to go through many scenes."

He filmed with the main actor on one occasion and with his stand-in on the other.

"That's all fine."

Xiao He breathed a sigh of relief.

He was afraid of encountering another one of those stubborn directors who were demanding and insisted on not using a stunt double, making Yuan Sitong act alongside him.

I met a director named Yan, and he felt that was enough.

"Shall we go to the dressing room first?"

"Ahem, wait, wait a minute—"

However, Deng Lei called out to Xiao He again.

"Uh, it's just..."

Looking at the young man in front of him, Deng Lei stammered, somewhat embarrassed, "I heard that your Linghui Studio has successfully become a company? Congratulations..."

Xiao He paused, staring at the director in front of him: "Thank you?"

Thinking back to the director's performance of playing the victim in front of him, Xiao He vaguely sensed something was amiss: "Director Deng, just say what you have to say."

Since Linghui officially became a company recently, Xiao He's status in the industry has quietly changed.

At this moment, he was no longer just an artist, but the boss of a company. Although the company was not large, the recent drama "Royal Decree" was their company's most outstanding achievement and one of the most successful investment projects in the industry.

It was from then on that Xiao He's circle of random people started to get close to him, and almost every day Xiao He would receive several text messages congratulating him on his studio's transformation into a company.

Of course, some close friends not only sent text messages but also gifts, and Xiao He replied to each of them carefully.

Xiao He hadn't expected that his current status would allow the director of his production crew to approach him for investment.

Yes, Director Deng sought out Xiao He for a very simple reason—to secure investment.

"But isn't this project invested in and produced by Banana Video?" Xiao He asked, somewhat puzzled.

Logically speaking, such a large project shouldn't be short of money. If Ling Hui gets involved in the platform's business and offends the platform, their own productions might not have a chance to be featured on Banana Video in the future.

"To diversify risk..." Deng Lei muttered somewhat guiltily, "If you're willing to invest, I'll definitely help you connect with the platform."

Most importantly, if he went to other investors, he might have to cry for a long time before he could squeeze out a little more investment. But looking at Xiao He in front of him and Linghui Entertainment behind Xiao He, Deng Lei felt that this was a brand new investor that had not yet been discovered!

When new investors enter the market, their first investment certainly won't be meager!

Deng Lei was already planning in his mind to order a few more weapons later.

Xiao He: ...

Good, good, good. The person hasn't even joined the crew yet, and the money in their pocket is already being eyed!
