Wu Youyou met with Zhai Ming and his group at a Sichuan restaurant.
When Zhai Ming saw Wu Youyou, her beautiful appearance and unique temperament instantly amazed him. He never expected Wu Youyou to be so beautiful. She had a pair of deep, big eyes that people could never forget after just one look. Wasn't she the perfect leading lady?
For him, who excels at directing, if she weren't his investor, he would definitely have signed her and given her a leading role.
Wu Youyou noticed that Zhai Ming and the others seemed a bit reserved, as if they weren't really focused on the investment. She coughed lightly.
"Mr. Zhai, you've come all the way from Kyoto, surely you didn't just come here to see me!"
Zhai Ming's thoughts were instantly pulled back by Wu Youyou, and he gave an awkward smile.
"I'm so sorry, I really didn't expect you to be so beautiful. As a director, it's inevitable that my professional instincts kicked in when I met such a rare beauty. Please forgive me!"
Wu Youyou smiled gently, thoroughly enjoying Zhai Ming's praise.
"President Zhai really knows how to praise people. Let me formally introduce you, Wu Youyou!"
After Wu Youyou introduced herself, she politely extended her hand. Zhai Ming quickly sat up, reached out and shook Wu Youyou's hand with both of his, and then sat back down.
Zhai Ming was clearly very excited and quickly introduced himself and his partners to Wu Youyou one by one.
"Let me formally introduce myself. My name is Zhai Ming. These are Feng Chang'an, who is in charge of the company's distribution and publicity; Sun Shu, a senior editor, who is mainly in charge of the company's production; Zheng Jiajia, who studied finance, who is in charge of the company's finance and human resources; and me, hehe~ I manage everything, mainly in charge of the directing section."
After Zhai Ming finished his introduction, the other three greeted Wu Youyou, and she politely responded to each of them.
Wu Youyou was satisfied with Zhai Ming's introduction. The fact that he brought his partners along to meet her showed his sincerity.
Wu Youyou picked up the teacup on the table, took a few sips, and then looked at them one by one, finally fixing her gaze on Zhai Ming's face.
"Mr. Zhai, we've already explained the situation over the phone. I personally admire Mr. Zhai's character, so I'm willing to invest in you. My money didn't come from thin air; I'm investing in you with the intention of seeing returns!"
Zhai Ming immediately became serious. He was very confident in himself and his team, and was certain that as long as the other party was willing to invest, he would not lose money. He had several excellent scripts in hand, but lacked funding. He answered Wu Youyou very earnestly.
"Please allow me to call you that for now, Youyou!"
"no problem!"
“Youyou, we are all very good at uniting everyone. Whether it’s publicity or controlling the quality of film and television, we are excellent. The copyright issues we are currently facing are some disputes. Otherwise, our hard work would not have gone to waste. Don’t worry, there will definitely be no copyright issues in the future. Moreover, we are currently in contact with several good works, such as ‘Youthful Years,’ ‘Princess of the Dynasty,’ ‘Detective 1017,’ etc. These are the works I am currently working on.”
Wu Youyou was very surprised. She really didn't expect Zhai Ming to have such a sharp eye. These works were all very popular. Every single one of them became a hit drama. She had to think more highly of Zhai Ming. She really had found a gem.
However, of these three works, only "The Princess of the Dynasty" ultimately belonged to Zhai Ming himself, and it was this work that established Zhai Ming's status as a director in his later years.
However, the popularity of his other two works is no less than that of "The Princess of the Dynasty".
Wu Youyou said excitedly,
"Mr. Zhai, of these three works, are you most confident about securing 'The Imperial Princess'?"
Zhai Ming and his partner looked at Wu Youyou in surprise, and Zhai Ming said excitedly,
"Yes, this author isn't very well-known yet, so the price wasn't high when we were negotiating, and it's basically settled now!"
"very good!"
Wu Youyou was incredibly excited. She took a piece of paper from her backpack and handed it to Zhai Ming.
Zhai Ming took the paper from Wu Youyou's hand with a puzzled look, opened it, and instantly froze on the spot.
The entire sheet of paper contained the names of thirty scripts, each marked with an asterisk to indicate its level. Among them were the three scripts I had just mentioned, as well as many others that I had paid attention to and were all of good quality, and some that I didn't know about!
Sun Shu, Zheng Jiajia, and Feng Chang'an, seeing Zhai Ming's surprised expression, went over to take a look out of curiosity. After they finished looking, they all stared wide-eyed at Wu Youyou. She had a smiling face and gave people a very sweet and innocent feeling. But under such an innocent appearance, she was actually a person with keen insight.
Zhai Ming's hands trembled violently, his eyes brimming with tears. Looking at Wu Youyou as if he had found a kindred spirit, he took a deep breath and said...
"I'm so happy, Youyou! Your taste is truly excellent, and I'm so grateful. When we came here, we were worried that you would be too domineering and make us make some bad films. If that were the case, we would rather disband than waste our time. But when I saw these works, I was truly thrilled, really..."
Zhai Ming couldn't help but choke up. His three partners sighed with emotion. Wu Youyou could see that they had a deep bond from starting the business together. She was very touched and comforted them with a smile.
"Mr. Zhai is a man with dreams, and your team is even more worthy of my respect. Rest assured, you can personally inspect the works on the list I've given you. Some of the works on it are already completed, some are still in the process of creation, and some haven't been created yet. You can talk to them as much as you like, but you must sign the copyright for the works marked with five stars!"
Zhai Ming looked at the works that received five stars, some of which he didn't even know about, but he trusted Wu Youyou.
"Don't worry, Youyou, I promise I'll complete the task!"
The other three partners were overjoyed and expressed their determination to Wu Youyou with excited expressions.
Seeing their passionate expressions, Wu Youyou felt very happy.
"Is the contract for the future director Zhai ready yet?!"
When Zhai Ming heard Wu Youyou call him Director Zhai, he immediately straightened his chest and grinned.
"Mr. Wu, I'm all ready, just waiting for your signature!"
Zhai Ming gestured to Zheng Jiajia, who quickly and happily took out the contract from her backpack and handed it to Wu Youyou.
Wu Youyou took it and looked at it. Finding nothing wrong, she picked up a pen and signed her name.
After seeing that the contract had been signed, Zhai Ming inquired about the funding.
"Mr. Wu, how many payments will you make? That depends on your situation, but the first payment cannot be less than 20 million!"
The 20 million is currently their company's operating capital, and everyone is looking at Wu Youyou with anticipation.
Wu Youyou smiled slightly, said nothing, but opened her schoolbag and placed all the jewelry, jade, gold bars and gold ornaments inside on the table.
Then he looked at them with a grin.
"These are worth about 200 million; you can take them and exchange them for cash!"
Zhai Ming and the others stared in astonishment, mouths agape...
