Chapter 28 Investment
Lu Yuqi's shout immediately destroyed the ambiguous atmosphere. Shang Yi was afraid that if he continued laughing, Lu Yuqi might kick him out of the house tonight, so he quickly stood up and pulled Lu Yuqi up.
"Shall we continue watching the movie?"
There is still some time before going to bed, so I can watch a movie to kill time.
"......good."
Both of them forgot what had just happened and sat on the sofa to continue watching the unfinished movie.
"No need to fall, just continue watching. I've seen this movie." Shang Yi naturally put his arm around Lu Yuqi's waist, and Lu Yuqi leaned into Shang Yi's arms.
"Why do you want to watch such an old movie?"
"Well, I want to do a movie directed by Shangkun, and I was thinking of watching his movies."
"Oh~ Shangkun is going to film a movie? I thought he had stopped filming and was going to quit the film and television industry because of the poor box office performance of his previous movies."
"Well, he wanted to make a movie where he had the final say, and it seemed like he had invested all his family fortune into it."
"Have you read the script?"
"I'll just take a general look."
"Since Liu Jiahe asked you to sign, it should be pretty good."
Lu Yuqi shrugged: "Brother Liu asked me to sign, so I signed. The script looks good." Then he turned to look at Shang Yi: "I haven't read the entire script yet, so I can't spoil it for you. And this matter must be kept confidential."
"I know."
That night, the two of them snuggled up and watched two of Shang Kun's martial arts movies. Lu Yuqi was very excited.
The emotions are surging.
The two of them slept peacefully that night until the next day.
When Lu Yuqi got up in the morning and looked around, there was no one. I sighed inwardly, feeling an indescribable regret.

Shang Yi came to the company and found Assistant Qi, asking him to inquire about Shang Kun's new play.
Assistant Qi was a little surprised when he heard Shang Yi's order, but he still responded expressionlessly. Assistant Qi was somewhat aware of the ambiguity between Shang Yi and Lu Yuqi.
Last time he went to the crew to deliver ointment, and later when he went to a mid-range community to deliver clothes and food, Shang Yi did not hide these from Assistant Qi. Not only Shang Yi's driver knew, Assistant Qi also knew to some extent that his boss had someone around him, and that person was a celebrity.
Assistant Qi didn't think that his boss Shang Yi was a person who would play with people's feelings. Otherwise, in all the years he had worked with Shang Yi, he had never seen Shang Yi have any ambiguity with any man or woman. This was the first time. It’s not that he doesn’t like people in the film and television industry, but Assistant Qi is really afraid that his boss will be manipulated by others.
This time, he was asked to inquire about Shangkun’s new movie. Could it be that he wanted to get someone into the crew? Because it's not a film produced by your subsidiary, so you want to do it without anyone noticing?
Assistant Qi made a direct call to Ren Feng, the CEO of Jinshang Entertainment Company.
"Assistant Qi, are you calling to make any arrangements?" Ren Feng was surprised when he received the call from Assistant Qi. Although Assistant Qi was only an assistant, his power was no less than theirs.
"I want to ask you about Director Shangkun. I heard that he is planning to shoot a new drama now?"
"Well, I've heard about this as well. Director Shangkun didn't seek any investment this time. I don't know where the money came from. He also found the cast himself. I haven't heard that he has any cooperation with any company?"
"Assistant Qi, does Mr. Shang have any opinions or arrangements on this matter?"
"No, I heard something about it, so I wanted to ask you about it."
"Oh, I see."
"Yeah, that's it."
Assistant Qi exchanged a few words with Ren Feng before hanging up the phone and reporting the findings to Shang Yi.
"Mr. Shang, Director Shangkun is indeed planning to shoot a new drama. He has no contact with other companies, and he found the actors himself."
"Okay." Shang Yi tapped the table with his fingers: "You contact Director Shang Kun and tell him that I'm investing 10 million in my personal name."
"personal?"
"Yes, I invested personally. I told Director Shangkun that I would not interfere with his work, but I hope that all the investment money can be used for filming."
"Okay, Mr. Shang."
"Um."
Although Assistant Qi had a blank expression on his face, he was still shocked by Shang Yi's actions. I couldn't help but shake my head in my heart. I didn't expect that President Shang was still a love-brained person. Nothing happened yet, but he invested in making a movie. I don't know how charming this little goblin is to make President Shang, who is always known for his calmness, so infatuated.
Assistant Qi quickly contacted Shangkun's assistant and expressed his personal investment. He said he would not interfere with the director's filming, nor would he add people to the crew. As long as the money was used for the filming of the movie, it would be fine.
When Shangkun heard the news from his assistant, he thought it was a joke. But when the 10 million yuan arrived, Shangkun was shocked! There are still such angel investors these days. The only requirement is no different from having no requirement. It feels like I have hit the jackpot.
This money completely solved the crew's financial problem, and he could also use the perfect set of costumes and props that he had imagined! Shangkun is not a superstitious person, but since Lu Yuqi was chosen to play this role, it seems that everything is going in a good direction, which makes Shangkun full of confidence in his play!
I couldn't help but share this joy with Director Li!
"Hahaha, all thanks to you, Lao Li. The actor you introduced to me is simply my lucky star!"
"What? You look so happy?" Director Li's voice was filled with joy when he heard Shang Kun on the other end of the phone.
"I met an angel investor! He just gave me money, didn't participate in the filming, and didn't make any requests!"
"What! Such a thing has happened to you? Which coal boss?" Director Li couldn't help but raise his voice. Everyone knows the good things about coal bosses. They have money to invest and rarely get involved in filming. At most, they have an ambiguous relationship with the heroine.
“He’s not a coal boss, he’s an individual investor.”
"How much is the investment?" When Director Li heard that it was an individual, his excited heart calmed down a lot. The maximum investment of an individual is one or two million.
"Ten million."
"Oh... one million..." Director Li thought to himself that this one million made Shang Kun so happy, alas, it was a bit of a loss for the fox.
"What? One million? Ten million! Ten million!"
"How much!? Ten million!!! Are you sure? You're not being cheated, are you?" Director Li was a little shocked when he heard the amount!
Could it be that Old Shang has gone insane or possessed by a demon because of the planning and production of this movie?
"Really? The money has arrived and the contract has been signed!"
"Oh, sure, Lao Shang!"
"Hahahahaha! I can finally make the movie I want to make!" Shangkun's laughter at first couldn't help but become a little tearful.
"Yes! You can finally make the movie you want to make." Director Li couldn't help but envy Shangkun. As a director, he could empathize and understand Shangkun so well.
Some people think that the director is the most powerful person in a drama and has the final say on everything. But in fact, the director is not free either and is also restricted by the producer and investors. It is very difficult to make a movie in which you have the final say.
Director Li was happy for Shangkun from the bottom of his heart.
