Chapter 29 Let Them Divest Their Investment
That night, Su Yi finally finished his work and lay exhausted on the bed, ready to fall asleep, when the unpleasant ringtone of his cell phone rang.
Whenever this happened, he knew there was work coming.
He had a sullen face and complained bitterly in his heart about the ruthlessness of the capitalists, while he, like a slave, had to work from dawn to dusk every day.
I picked up my phone and saw that one of the capitalists was calling.
"Hey!" Even the good-tempered director Su Yi couldn't help but show his displeasure because his rest time was delayed. Especially since he has been busy preparing for a new drama recently, he has almost become a spinning top.
"Old Su." The capitalist Yu Cheng who called called Su Yi with a smile.
"What's the matter? Just say it. I want to go to bed!" came the blunt words.
"It's nothing serious. I just want to treat you to dinner tomorrow." Yu Cheng ignored Su Yi's impolite tone. He would be more patient with talented people in the entertainment industry.
It would be a lie for Su Yi on the other end of the phone not to be surprised when he heard this. He couldn't figure out what Yu Cheng, the CEO of a management company, had the purpose of inviting him to dinner.
Although he had rejected auditions from several Jiasui Entertainment artists some time ago, he didn't think a few small artists could be noticed by the busy president.
"Haha, Boss Yu actually has time to treat me to a meal?"
"Let me introduce you to an important person." Yu Cheng put out the bait calmly.
Su Yi's heart skipped a beat and he had to admit that he was a little moved.
If you can get to know more powerful and capable people, your path in the circle will definitely be easier.
The result was naturally that Su Yi agreed without hesitation. He had no reason to refuse. One more connection means one more way. He understood this deeply since he entered society.
Yu Cheng told him the time and place with a smile, and even sent it to him via text message in case he forgot.
Su Yi felt happy after hanging up the phone. The big shot that Yu Cheng could accept must have a status and position no lower than Yu Cheng.
Without thinking much about Yu Cheng's purpose of introducing him to other people, he pulled up the quilt and fell asleep with a smile.
At six o'clock in the evening of the second day, Su Yi appeared at the gate of Jinhuang Restaurant on time. The car boy outside the door came over and took the keys to park the car.
Looking at the magnificent restaurant in front of him, Su Yi once again sighed that the life of rich people is different.
Although he made a lot of money from his last drama, it was still a luxury for him to have a meal at Jinhuang Restaurant.
Jinhuang Restaurant is one of the best restaurants in Beijing, and all guests must be members to dine there.
Almost all the powerful people in Beijing will choose to come here to discuss cooperation, which not only demonstrates their own strength but also expresses their respect for their partners.
Those who are invited here naturally feel valued when looking at such a grand and luxurious restaurant, and it is also smoother when discussing cooperation.
Under the guidance of the waiter, Su Yi came to a private room on the fifth floor, on which were written a few large golden words: Sui'an Pavilion.
Su Yi looked at it again and again. The name of this box was much simpler than the previous ones, Zexi Pavilion and Liuyun Pavilion. It was easy to guess the meaning of peace every year.
The waiter knocked on the door, and a clear female voice came from behind the door: "Come in."
woman?
Su Yi touched his face. Could it be that Yu Cheng was going to sell him out?
The thought flashed through his mind, and Su Yi smiled and walked in, "Sorry for the long wait."
There was a man and a woman sitting in the box. The man was Yu Cheng, and the woman...
Su Yi looked at Ji Jinhe's cold face and felt like his heart was about to stop beating. How could there be such a beautiful person in the world?
Ji Jinhe looked at Su Yi with a cold gaze and gestured to the seat opposite him: "Director Su, please take a seat."
Su Yi was startled by the sound. When he came to his senses, he realized that his behavior was a bit rude. He gritted his teeth and pretended nothing had happened. He walked to the chair and sat down.
Ji Jinhe noticed Su Yi's frequent glances and pushed the menu in front of him. "I don't know what Director Su likes to eat, so I ordered some of Jinhuang's signature dishes. If you have any dietary restrictions, please let me know."
Su Yi took the menu and glanced at it casually. It was his first time here and he didn't know what to eat, so he handed it to the waiting waiter as it was. The waiter took the menu and left silently.
At this time, there was no one else in the box except the three people.
Su Yi turned the tea in his hand, looked at Ji Jinhe and asked, "I wonder what this lady wants to see me about?"
Su Yi is not stupid. After all, he is someone who has made great progress in the entertainment industry, which is a mixed place.
Since entering the box, Yu Cheng sat aside and didn't say a word except for greeting. It was always Ji Jinhe who spoke and dominated the conversation.
Considering the call Yu Cheng made to him yesterday, he calmed down and thought about it.
He realized that it was not that Yu Cheng, the evil capitalist, suddenly had a kind heart and wanted to introduce him to a big shot, but that this "big shot" wanted to meet him.
"I'm Liu Yilan's agent, Ji Jinhe." Ji Jinhe didn't beat around the bush. She curled her lips slightly, with a faint smile in her eyes.
Liu Yilan.
The name sounded familiar, and Su Yi remembered it quickly.
The unlucky actor who had already secured a role but was strongly requested to be replaced by the investors.
Su Yi didn't expect the other party to come directly to him, and was stunned for a moment.
"I came to see Director Su today to discuss the final actor for the role of Lu Weinian."
Lu Weinian is the name of the eldest daughter of aristocratic family.
"I want to know what benefits Xingtu gave Director Su that made him decide to change the role that had already been decided."
Although it has not been announced yet, you can still find out about it by asking around.
Su Yi's face suddenly turned a little ugly. He felt that he had been cheated and that the person who came was just an unidentified agent.
He turned his gaze to Yu Cheng. Being asked so rudely, his tone was not very good at this time. "I think Mr. Yu should know the reason."
Yu Cheng laughed, "How could I know what you guys were talking about, haha."
Su Yi was speechless, but he didn't think that Yu Cheng would not know about this matter if he really wanted to investigate.
"The biggest investor in the drama 'Fantastic' is Xingtu Entertainment. They're threatening to withdraw their investment if I don't give the role of Lu Weinian to an actress named Xue."
Su Yi was so angry that his teeth were itching when he said this, but he continued to speak.
"Lu Weinian is just a supporting role, maybe the second female lead, not as important as the female lead. It's normal for capitalists to insert someone, and there's no need for me to risk offending my star path by holding on to such a supporting role."
Ji Jinhe and the other person had some guesses in their hearts, but they were still silent when Su Yi said it so bluntly.
But what Su Yi said was indeed right. There was no need for him to risk offending Xingtu Entertainment to keep this role for Liu Yilan.
It is not wise to confront capitalists head-on.
"Do you think Liu Yilan is the most suitable actor to play Lu Weinian?"
Ji Jinhe knocked on the table directly, and the tapping sound echoed in the box.
"Of course." Su Yi said without hesitation, "She is Lu Weinian. No one can act better than her."
Su Yi gave Liu Yilan a high evaluation and was impressed by the girl's audition performance.
"Then let Xingtu withdraw its investment."
