Since it was a holiday, Shi Jing didn't urge An Chunian to find out the results immediately. However, An Chunian was very enthusiastic when he heard that the young boss wanted to get involved in the film industry. In just one day, he found out most of the details about Director Qi.
This is hardly a secret; quite a few people in the industry know about it.
Originally, this was not a big deal. Although Director Qi could not be considered a top-tier director, he was quite well-known in the film industry, and his works had received some positive reviews.
Given Director Qi's current status, he shouldn't lack investment in the industry. However, although he has some talent, he is also arrogant. He stubbornly resists the interests involved in the industry, which has offended most of the investors.
That wouldn't have been bad enough, but the drama he was recently preparing caught the eye of an investor who was determined to cast him as the female lead. Director Qi was inflexible, and no one knows exactly what happened, but he offended the investor and became the target of their attacks.
An Chunian hasn't found out exactly what happened yet, but Director Qi is in a difficult situation for the time being.
After learning about this news, An Chunian was not very optimistic about Shi Jing's investment in Director Qi's new work.
This is not to say that he thinks Director Qi's new work is bad. On the contrary, although Director Qi is a bit old-fashioned in his interpersonal communication, he is still very talented.
The crux of the problem is that the investor he offended had some powerful connections.
This investor, surnamed Qin, is quite well-known in the industry and owns multiple cinema chains, making him a significant figure.
Shijing, a small company, has sole ownership and free capital, making it very convenient to operate investment projects, but that's also where the problem lies.
Her company is small, and she's practically a newcomer in the industry with limited connections. If she invests in Director Qi's work and offends someone, she could easily become a target.
Shi Jing hesitated somewhat about this situation.
The problem An Chunian mentioned is indeed real. Funding is not a problem for her; the problem is how to release the film after it is made.
She invests in movies to make money, not to do charity, so naturally she wants to release them and make money.
But she wasn't willing to give up just like that. If the work wasn't good, that would be one thing, but giving up just because she was worried about being targeted made Shi Jing feel uneasy.
After much deliberation, she still couldn't bear to give up so easily. She decided to wait until Director Qi made a move and she had seen the script and his plans before making a decision.
Shi Jing thought this way, but there was no news from Director Qi for the time being, and no one answered the phone number she had given him.
Investing and being invested in are matters for both parties, and both sides will have their own considerations, so Shi Jing is not in a hurry.
Jin Ye'an returned to Kyoto after only two days, having already dealt with most of her belongings there. The mother and son traveled light, accompanied by a middle-aged woman.
According to Jin Ye'an, this person is a distant relative of hers. Since the last nanny lost the child, she fired her. Because the child needed someone to take care of him, she temporarily found someone from her relatives back home.
Jin Ye'an's house was in the same neighborhood as Shi Jing's. Jin Ye'an also wanted to learn more about the company's operations before Shi Jing started school, so she inevitably had to spend more time with Shi Jing. Shi Jing then came over for a few meals and took the opportunity to tell Jin Ye'an about her plans.
From Shi Jing's own perspective, she definitely wanted to expand the company. Since she needed to continue her studies, she delegated authority to the people in the company quite thoroughly.
After joining the company, Jin Ye'an has a lot of autonomy. As long as she does well in the soon-to-be-established agency, she will become a founding member.
Although Shi Jing didn't say it explicitly, Jin Ye'an could tell from their interactions over the past few days that she was a generous and magnanimous girl. She believed that as long as Shi Jing could achieve something, Shi Jing would not treat her unfairly.
Jin Ye'an had devoted herself to her former company, only to be betrayed by her husband and have her son fall ill. Now, Shiyun Brokerage is the best path for her, and she is determined to seize it no matter what.
All the procedures for the new company went very smoothly. Now, in addition to the charity foundation and investment company, Shi Jing has added a brokerage company to its portfolio.
Jin Ye'an took office and quickly assembled a team. The company gradually got on the right track. However, two months later, the agency signed two artists.
As one of only two artists signed by the company, Shi Jing naturally paid special attention to them. The two newly signed artists are a man and a woman. The man is 27 years old this year and has been in the industry for several years. He has talent, but he can't be said to be particularly outstanding.
There are actually quite a few people like this in the industry. If they're lucky enough to have a capable agency give them a push, they might be able to rise to the top. But most of them remain unknown, lingering in the shadows of the entertainment circle, passing their youth in obscurity.
The girl is only twenty years old this year. She's supposedly an artist being negotiated by one of Jin Ye'an's agents. The girl is very stubborn; she thinks the agent she's in contact with is a good person, and knowing that the agent is going to switch agencies, she came along.
Shi Jing was quite surprised to see this person. The girl was so beautiful that she could have easily gained some fame as long as she didn't have any serious flaws.
I never expected that my newly established small company could find such a promising talent.
