That evening, Xiao He and Liu Rulan went to meet with President Song of Jiaxing Entertainment, as well as several other investors who came with President Song.
Among them is producer Ma Qianyou, who has been absent from the public eye for a long time.
From the outset, Ma Qianyou was extremely enthusiastic, shaking Xiao He's hand repeatedly with a gleam in his eyes: "Little Xiao, it's been so long!"
Xiao He hadn't expected Ma Qianyou to be so enthusiastic. He tried to pull his hand away, but couldn't.
Xiao He: "...Hehe, Producer Ma, long time no see!"
It was Liu Rulan who came to the rescue, extending her hand and saying, "Producer Ma, it's been a long time! How have you been lately?"
Ma Qianyou could only let go of Xiao He's hand, then shook hands with Liu Rulan, before immediately letting go and inviting Xiao He to sit on his side.
Xiao He: ? Why is this person so enthusiastic?
However, once he sat down, Xiao He understood why Ma Qianyou was so agitated.
"Xiao Xiao, I had my fortune told again a while ago, and guess what? That person said I'll meet a benefactor this year who will change my fortune for the rest of my life!"
Ma Qian looked at Xiao He with excitement on his face.
Xiao He: "...Ahaha, so that's how it is? Congratulations, Producer Ma!"
Uh, hasn't this guy already been scammed a few times before? He still believes it? What else can he possibly say?
Superstition and metaphysics are not advisable; wealth must be accumulated through hard work.
Thinking of Ma Qianyou's unfortunate past, Xiao He swallowed his words again.
After all, the fact that "Shining Stars" had changed multiple male supporting actors before is indeed a bit mysterious.
He should stop talking.
However, Ma Qianyou clearly had no intention of letting Xiao He off the hook: "So I thought to myself, isn't that benefactor you!"
Xiao He: "Huh? Me?"
Wait, how did he become a benefactor?
"That's right!" Ma Qianyou excitedly patted Xiao He's shoulder. "I also invested in Hidden Stars Shining! But I was really unlucky back then, and I was even thinking of just running away. Then you appeared! Not only did you portray Meng Zetian very well, but you also helped us gain a lot of popularity. Hehe, we can still make money from this. Just thinking about it makes me happy!"
Xiao He: "Haha, not really. This is the result of everyone's joint efforts."
So this guy was already planning to run away back then? Does Director Wen know?
Uh, I probably don't know.
If Director Wen knew, he'd probably cry himself to sleep in a corner.
Ma Qianyou was almost in tears—from being moved.
"Look at me, Lao Ma, I followed the crowd and invested in the Chinese entertainment industry. Everyone else's investments were profitable, but I was the unluckiest. Every investment I made failed, and most of my wealth went down the drain. But I, Lao Ma, refused to give up! I was determined to keep investing and show everyone what I could do! And now, I've finally done it! Xiao Xiao, you're my benefactor!"
Xiao He's lips and eyes twitched this time: "...Haha."
No wonder he managed to snag a bargain on such a huge production project; it turns out this guy was using some kind of mystical power.
If other investors knew that their big projects were almost ruined by this small-time producer Ma Qianyou, they would probably kick him out of the entertainment industry and permanently blacklist him.
Fortunately, Ma Qianyou spoke very softly, and no one else heard him. Liu Rulan was already using her eloquence to chat enthusiastically with several investors.
Ma Qianyou glanced at the several executives over there, coughed lightly, and continued to ask Xiao He in a low voice, "Xiao Xiao, is there any plan for your next drama?"
Let him see if he can get some more investment. If he can't be a producer, he can become a boss.
