Unable to look away even a little, Wei Er swallowed hard and subconsciously asked, "Ms. Yu, is this also an artist under your company?"
"Yes, her name is Su Daji, and she was just signed this year." Yu Ningning raised an eyebrow at him. "What, Director Wei Er, have you now set your sights on our Su Daji?"
He couldn't even concentrate on what Yu Ningning was saying; Wei Er just kept nodding and muttering sighs.
"That's amazing."
"In my more than 30 years of life, I have never seen a woman with such an extraordinary temperament."
"She's a natural leading lady."
"I'd make ten, oh, a hundred movies for her. This captivating charm is destined to be the muse of all directors!"
This wasn't the first time she'd heard this assessment, so Yu Ningning calmly asked the most crucial question: "Director Wei Er, do you even have the funds to make a single film now?"
Wei Er's smile froze instantly, and after a long while, he complained in frustration, "Miss Yu, you're getting more and more cruel with your words these days."
She sighed again and said, "If I weren't so broke, why would I take on this short video shooting job on top of already having a job as an agent's assistant?"
"To be honest, making these short videos is really pointless. It's just creating some sensationalist artistic garbage, which is an insult to my lifelong artistic cultivation."
"I don't know how long it will take to save enough money to make another movie if I keep saving like this."
Suddenly, he remembered something, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Yu Ningning, saying, "By the way, if I remember correctly, Miss Yu's company has been doing very well recently, investing in many film projects and helping struggling young directors realize their dreams..."
"I happen to have two or three film projects on hand, and I don't know if Miss Yu has time to take a look at them..."
Cough cough—
Looking into Wei Er's bright eyes, Yu Ningning, who had been calmly sipping her wine, turned her head and looked at the swaying center of the dance floor, pretending to be blind and deaf.
Investing in a movie by Wei Er?
Haven't the investors who lost everything investing in Wei Er Films learned their lesson?
Wasn't the twelve houses in Beijing that Wei Er's family had to give up enough of a lesson?
The company was only recently established, and it still carries billions in debt. It's too fragile to withstand any setbacks.
Seeing Yu Ningning's 'polite refusal,' Wei Er was somewhat used to it, but he lowered his head in frustration and said, "Making movies is my only dream in life, and I don't know when I'll be able to realize it, to make a work that I'm satisfied with, a work that can become my representative work..."
Upon hearing Wei Er's words, Qin Shi Huang, who had been focused on eating his drunken peanuts, suddenly turned his head and stared intently at Wei Er's face as if he had discovered some treasure.
Feeling a little numb from being stared at, Wei Er swallowed hard, almost wanting to take two steps back: "W-you, what are you going to do? I'm telling you, I'm heterosexual."
Yu Ningning raised an eyebrow and asked, "What's wrong?"
Qin Shi Huang frowned and said, "I saw a tremendous aura of fortune on his face just now, right when he said he wanted to make a masterpiece of his own, but now it's gone."
