The contract has already been signed, and with the live stream imminent, there's no time to change the performer.
Jian Yu said, "That's enough."
Some of the other investors only sent representatives.
After exchanging greetings, the director smiled obsequiously and said, "Shall we begin preparing for the ceremony?"
Jian Yu nodded slightly.
"Everyone get ready, the ceremony begins."
The crowd quickly took their places.
Yu Yao curled her lips and winked at her assistant.
The assistant received her look and retreated into the crowd, just like the other assistants, holding up their equipment to take pictures.
After declining the invitation, the chief director was the first to speak.
Jian Yu followed the director and also gave an opening speech, but her attention was focused on Yu Yao's assistant who was taking photos.
The other person was holding a white matte phone with a strange camera angle. Yu Yao was clearly on her right, but the camera was tilted more to the left.
Jian Yu saw her fiddling with her phone and decided to hack in and take a look after the ceremony.
Jian Yu did not participate in the subsequent group photo.
The first segment of the live stream was the gift-giving exchange among the guests.
Jian Yu wasn't interested in watching, so he said goodbye to the director and prepared to leave.
The director stopped her and looked at Susan with a smile.
Susan brought over a set of Lin Beichen's books, saying, "President Jian, we heard you really like Beichen's novels. We're very happy to have these for you."
Jian Yu chuckled and said, "Thank you!"
Just as I was about to reach out to take it, a hand reached out from both the left and right at the same time.
George and Mu Nannan exchanged a glance, and George, understanding, retreated.
Mu Nannan took the book and flipped through it casually. "It's signed."
A hint of disdain flashed in Susan's eyes. When giving a book as a gift on this occasion, it should naturally be signed.
Why is this assistant such a country bumpkin?
You don't even understand this?
Sensing that Jian Yu intended to leave, several investors gathered around and invited him to chat.
A female producer said, "Ms. Jian, we have a new project recently, I wonder if you would be interested?"
Jian Yu glanced at her. "What is it?"
"The movie 'Being Loved' has a famous screenwriter, a famous director, an award-winning actor and actress, and also has popular young actors. It is guaranteed to have a high box office."
While others might not know about this movie, "Being Loved" features a minor celebrity that my roommate likes. During its release, I kept urging my classmates to go to the cinema and contribute to the ticket sales.
She didn't even spare Jian Yu, a marginal figure.
Unfortunately, Jian Yu wasn't interested in the poster at all.
After searching for reviews online, I found that the movie had a lot of bugs.
Later, unable to escape her entanglement, I contributed a picture, only to find it extremely ugly, lacking even basic logic.
I don't know how it turned out like that.
In the end, the movie flopped, grossing only 40 million at the box office.
Are there any other projects?
The other person's expression stiffened, and they asked in return, "Mr. Jian, aren't you interested?"
"I don't plan to invest in romance dramas."
"Oh, I see! I have something else to say. Let's find a place to sit down and talk about it slowly."
Jian Yu nodded.
Other investors and producers followed suit and left.
Xu Zian watched Jian Yu's departing figure, his eyes narrowing slightly. Jian Yu was still too young. Those people were notorious fence-sitters. If Jian Yu worked with them, he should be careful not to get ripped off.
Even if he messes things up, the other person will realize how sincere he is.
Yu Yao glanced at her assistant, who gave her an OK sign.
Concerned about the live stream cameras, Yu Yao didn't dare to make any big movements, only blinking once in response.
Jian Yu and others held a short meeting in the program team's temporary office.
The producer talked on and on, while Jian Yu answered in a disjointed manner, constantly searching for the producer's investment companies and past works.
They have hit dramas and box office success, but unfortunately, in recent years, the company's executives have only focused on promoting their own favorite actresses, pouring a lot of resources into them.
The consequences of not putting your heart into making a film are obvious.
The rate of return is too low.
Two years ago, he almost caused his company to go bankrupt because he promoted a female celebrity.
The reason for investing in this variety show is simply because the director and producer are old classmates and have a good relationship.
My old classmate came to ask me for help, so I just gave him a token amount.
Because the new show was such a flop, they didn't even recommend it to their own people.
I have no interest in cooperating with investment companies that prioritize money and sex over genuine business.
There's only one investment company that's doing well, but it's a bit small and can't handle many projects.
Fortunately, he was self-aware.
The person in charge of this company is surnamed Zhang. He has several good scripts and is currently looking for people to collaborate with.
He handed a script to Jian Yu, who casually flipped through a few pages, quite interested.
Worried that it might have a bad ending, Jian Yu flipped to the later chapters and said, "Let me take a look first."
"No rush, it's almost lunchtime. Let's go to a private room at a nearby hotel and chat while we watch."
Jian Yu had originally planned to leave, but after thinking about it, she decided to stay.
The director and producer also came along.
George and Mu Nannan sat on either side of Jian Yu, and although the others had opinions, none of them spoke up.
During the event, someone offered Jian Yu a toast, but George stopped them immediately.
The afternoon was spent discussing the new project.
As the conversation deepened, Jian Yu realized that if she wanted to continue investing, she should register an investment company.
They chatted so late that the production team arranged a hotel for them.
This place is in the suburbs, but the hotel is quite nice.
Mu Nannan held the three hotel room keys and checked the rooms one by one.
"The assistant just said that room A1104 is the largest and most suitable for Jian Yu."
"bite---"
The door was unlocked, and Mu Nannan inserted the room card into the power outlet, and the lights in the room turned on.
George went in first to check everything, and only after confirming that everything was normal did he let Jian Yu in.
The other two rooms are separated by two rooms: one faces the remaining room, and the other is adjacent to the remaining room.
Mu Nannan wanted to stay across from Jian Yu, but George wouldn't allow it, so she had to stay in the room further away.
Jian Yu had just finished boiling a kettle of water when Mu Nannan called.
The sound was muffled and incoherent.
You can tell it's uncomfortable just by hearing it.
Thinking that she had eaten several ice creams that afternoon, Jian Yu assumed she had an upset stomach. "I brought some medicine for stomach problems, come and get some."
Mu Nannan walked over with her phone in hand.
After entering the room, Jian Yu opened a bottle of water for her, mixed it with half hot water, and used it to take her medicine.
After taking her medicine, she lay down on the bed.
Staring at Jian Yu with her red eyes, she said, "I want to sleep with you."
Seeing her pitiful look, Jian Yu couldn't bear to refuse, "Go to sleep!"
The medicine must have worked, because Mu Nannan fell asleep in no time.
Jian Yu turned off all the main lights, took her pajamas, and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
After taking a shower, I found Mu Nannan curled up, trembling unconsciously.
Jian Yu walked over, and Mu Nannan opened her eyes, looking somewhat confused.
"Jian Yu, I think I'm getting my period. My stomach hurts a lot."
Mu Nannan had no sanitary products, and there were no painkillers in the room.
Jian Yu remembered there was a convenience store and a pharmacy downstairs. "I'll go downstairs and buy you something."
Because it was late and they were going downstairs, Jian Yu didn't call George.
After buying the items, Jian Yu hurriedly went upstairs.
As soon as I opened the door with my room card, I heard Mu Nannan's cries for help coming from inside.
Jian Yu immediately turned around and rang George's doorbell.
There wasn't time to use the room key to turn the power up; Jian Yu rushed in, asking, "Who's there?"
A tall figure suddenly sprang up from the bed, roaring like a wild beast as it charged out.
When he passed by Jian Yu, Jian Yu had no chance to resist. He grabbed him by the shoulders, slammed him against the wall, and rushed out the door.
