Madam Yan was both helpless and amused, but she was eventually infected by her daughter's emotions and smiled broadly.
After all, she's the daughter I've always doted on; I can't possibly beat her up.
Qin Yichen learned that Ji Mingjing and his wife had come to the capital and called to invite them to dinner.
Ji Mingjing spoke with an air of utter disbelief: "You're treating?"
"Of course..." Qin Yichen smiled, then changed the subject: "It was my good brother-in-law who treated us. He's been riding high lately, so I let him book the Zijing Pavilion for the whole night so we could have a great time."
Ji Mingjing rubbed his forehead: "You're really something. Can you call Gu Si 'good brother-in-law' in front of him?"
Qin Yichen scoffed, "What's the big deal? He's my brother-in-law, how could he possibly refuse me?"
Suddenly, Qin Yichen said in a cheeky tone, "You reminded me, that guy has never called me brother, hehe, I have to make him call me that tomorrow night. If he wants me to call him brother-in-law, I don't mind."
Ji Mingjing thought to himself: I didn't, don't blame me.
"Tomorrow night?"
"Don't worry, it's all friends and acquaintances tomorrow night, so it's settled, bye-bye!"
Qin Yichen didn't give him a chance to refuse and hung up the phone after speaking.
Ji Mingjing's lips twitched slightly.
Rongrong entered the bedroom and saw Ji Mingjing's indescribable expression. She asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Ji Mingjing looked up, met her gaze, and waved her phone: "Achen said there's a dinner party tonight, so we should see a chaotic scene. Shangguan Wu went back?"
Rongrong hummed in agreement: "Xiao Tianyou was crying for his mother, so Wubao's mother-in-law had to call her. She couldn't stand hearing Xiao Tianyou crying and went home. We arranged to meet again tomorrow. You just said there would be a chaotic scene at the dinner party tonight, what's going on?"
"Ah Chen wants Gu Si to call him 'brother' tomorrow night," Ji Mingjing said simply, then asked, "Where are you going, wife, tomorrow?"
Immediately, Rongrong smiled innocently: "I won't tell you."
Ji Mingjing: "..."
My wife went astray on her very first day in the capital!
???
The next day, around 8 or 9 a.m., Shangguan Wu received a call from Kang Jie.
This greatly surprised Shangguan Wu.
After the entertainment company was handed over to the professional manager and the second sister, they would go to the second sister for anything. Why would they suddenly come to her? Has something really big happened?
As soon as Shangguan Wu answered the phone, Kang Jie's voice came through: "Boss, do you have any ideas about making a TV series about traditional Chinese medicine?"
Kang Jie's question stumped Shangguan Wu.
TV dramas about traditional Chinese medicine?
This is indeed a way for people to understand traditional Chinese medicine culture and to change some people's prejudices against it. But this matter can be discussed with the professional manager and decided by the company's senior management. It doesn't matter whether he or she is contacted.
Shangguan Wu asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to make a TV series about traditional Chinese medicine?"
Kang Jie had a lot to complain about: "Ever since your identity as the company's boss was revealed, a lot of directors and producers have been coming to us with scripts to solicit investment. Our company isn't short of money, so we prioritize quality when making films and TV series, but we can't stop too many bad scripts from being delivered to our door..."
"Didn't we reject them all? One of the scripts featured a popular celebrity, and although it didn't become a hit, the investors still made money. Then, at a dinner party, the director said that our company was blind to talent and had no talent at all..."
“Some people know that you are a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, so they try to cater to your interests by buying the copyrights of novels related to traditional Chinese medicine on online novel platforms, hoping to attract investment and make money under the guise of making TV series. I can see seven or eight scripts about traditional Chinese medicine every day.”
"If the plot is good, that's fine, but those scripts are just using traditional Chinese medicine as a cover, and the core is still romance..."
After listening for a while, Shangguan Wu could sense his deep resentment, but he still earnestly emphasized: "The company's film and television productions must prioritize quality, and this cannot be changed."
On the other end of the phone, Kang Jie repeatedly assured him: "Yes, yes, boss, I know. The key is that several partners have invested in two TCM-themed films and television series. One is currently filming, and the other has already finished filming. It is said that it will be broadcast online this summer. However, I watched the show in advance, and the plot is really mediocre. A friend of mine who practices TCM watched the second episode, cursed it as garbage, and stormed off."
After a pause, Kang Jie said solemnly, "Boss, I think after watching this show, the audience's impression of traditional Chinese medicine will only get worse."
Is it that serious?
Shangguan Wu frowned. Although the audience has their own judgment and doesn't accept every drama, she is still a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine and doesn't want anyone to smear traditional Chinese medicine.
But now that the show is finished filming, she doesn't have the right to ban it. The extent of its impact is still unknown.
Seeing that she was engrossed in her phone call, Gu Yunzhen popped a peeled grape into her mouth. When she tried to put a second one in, Shangguan Wu shook her head, pointed to her phone, and walked away.
Shangguan Wu thought for a moment, then instructed as he walked: "Director Kang, we won't worry about the dramas that have already been filmed. For the one that's still being filmed, can you get the script? If the script isn't too bad, then ask a senior screenwriter to revise it. Our company is willing to invest more."
"Alright, Director Kang, I support the company producing its own medical dramas. For any questions related to Traditional Chinese Medicine, feel free to contact me anytime. Other aspects will need to be overseen by you and the company's veterans. What do you think?"
Kang Jie didn't expect the BOSS to make a decision so quickly: "Boss, won't you think about it more?"
Shangguan Wu smiled: "Although I'm not short of money, it doesn't grow on trees. I'll have someone assess this. You just need to find a production team with a solid foundation. You don't need to worry about funding."
Kang Jie felt as if he had been showered with money, his blood boiling with excitement: "Don't worry, boss, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
After hanging up the phone, Shangguan Wu turned around and was startled by Gu Yunzhen standing in front of her: "What are you doing? You walk without making a sound."
However, she happened to need to talk to him, so she pulled his arm and led him to the living room.
Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow and let her pull him to sit on the sofa. He asked with interest, "Does my wife need something from me?"
Shangguan Wu smiled and said, "No, this is my wife's request to you."
A smile crept onto Gu Yunzhen's delicate brows as he tilted his head to look at her: "What are your demands? Go ahead, your husband is all ears."
