Not understanding Qin Shi Huang's meaning, Wei Er looked somewhat bewildered: "What fortune?"
Yu Ningning, on the other hand, looked somewhat surprised, clearly finding it hard to believe. She stared at Wei Er with suspicion for a long while before turning to Qin Shihuang: "...Are you sure you didn't see wrong? This person has an immense aura of fortune when it comes to making movies?"
If that's the case, why did Wei Er lose all his money making movies?
Understanding Yu Ningning's doubts, Qin Shihuang said with certainty, "I am sure I did not see wrong just now. This person does indeed possess great fortune, but it seems to be hidden by some kind of shell, making it extremely difficult to discover most of the time."
"If this person hadn't mentioned movies just now, I wouldn't have noticed the fleeting aura of fortune emanating from him."
This is getting interesting.
After observing Wei Er with great interest for a while, Yu Ningning asked, "...Based on your intuition, how strong is the aura of fortune you can sense from Wei Er?"
"...It is naturally dozens of times stronger than what I felt on that land that day..." Qin Shi Huang carefully considered his feelings, trying to describe them appropriately, "...but compared with me, the first emperor of all time who created the world, it is naturally as different as a small lake compared with a vast ocean."
Yu Ningning understood.
It's roughly the same as the luck or fortune of a typical historical figure.
Yu Ningning is a shrewd businesswoman.
Before Qin Shi Huang said that, Yu Ningning would never have thrown money into the water to help Wei Er fulfill his artistic dream for free...
But now that she has discovered that Wei Er carries immense fortune, even though she doesn't understand why he keeps losing money, she doesn't intend to let him off so easily.
She then revealed a wolf-like smile: "Director Wei Er, you weren't wrong just now. I do have quite a bit of money on hand recently, and I've invested in a lot of projects by new directors, planning to help some young people I admire realize their dreams..."
"It seems that Director Wei Er also has a dream about film art. I wonder if he would be interested..."
It was as if he had been hit by a pie falling from the sky. For a moment, Wei Er almost thought he had gone deaf or was dreaming in broad daylight.
Regardless of whether he was dreaming or not, Wei Er felt as if he had found his sugar daddy. He quickly lunged forward and slid down to his knees before Yu Ningning, his face full of emotion and tears.
"Yes, yes, yes! I'm so interested!"
"For Miss Yu's kindness, I thank you on behalf of all those artists in the world who are trapped by money, unable to realize their dreams, and forced to succumb to the mundane realities of daily life."
"Ms. Yu, you are truly our second mother. You will surely leave a significant mark on the history of Chinese cinema in the future."
Having long been familiar with Ningning's true nature, everyone subconsciously shook their heads and showed a pitying expression when they saw Wei Er's 'naive' appearance.
Revealing a gentle smile unique to 'capitalists', Yu Ningning slowly raised her wine glass and coaxed, "...Director Wei, you flatter me. I just did what I thought was right."
"It's noisy here, so it's not convenient to chat."
"Why don't we move to a quieter place first, so we can have a proper discussion about 'film investment'?"
