If it weren't for Wu Long, he would have been devoured and abandoned by all sorts of filthy people long ago.
Therefore, his frantic efforts to grow were all for the purpose of gaining the power to speak and protect those he wanted to protect.
Lu Jinye also successfully established his own media company, Jinzao Media, during his sophomore year of college. The name Jinzao Media means that it can be as prosperous as the morning.
He successfully poached Wu Long to continue as his agent. Although Lu Jinye paid a price for this, having to pay a high termination fee, he felt it was worth it.
Now, Lu Jinye's Jinzao Media, with Lu Jinye's resounding name, has already attracted the signing of several artists. Wu Long has also worked hard to use his own network of resources to produce several scripts for Lu Jinye. Everything is developing in a positive direction.
Sure enough, this morning, Wu Long shared the good news.
Wu Long rushed into Lu Jinye's office with hurried steps: "Yezi! Yezi! Look! Look at the script I just got!"
Lu Jinye poked his head out from behind the computer on his desk: "What? Why are you so happy?!"
Wu Long patted the script in his hand, unable to hide his joy: "The genre you always thought was great, the one about school bullying! I've successfully secured it for you! I've got all the rights."
“It only cost this much.” Wu Long gestured three to Lu Jinye.
Lu Jinye: "Three million?"
Wu Long shook his head mysteriously: "Guess again!"
Lu Jinye's pupils dilated, and he exclaimed in shock, "Thirty million?!"
Wu Long clicked his tongue: "It's 300,000, boss. You think I'm stupid?"
Lu Jinye let out a soft breath. He only had 40 million left of his total assets, which really startled him.
Lu Jinye smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Long. But how come you got all the copyrights so cheaply?"
Wu Long sighed: "Sigh, you know this kind of subject matter. Nobody dares to film it. Even if they did, it wouldn't be broadcast. Nobody is willing to spend hundreds of millions to throw money down the drain. Only you would do that."
Lu Jinye: "Brother Long, trust me, I have a feeling this topic will definitely be a hit, it's just a matter of time."
Wu Long pursed his lips: "I hope so."
Lu Jinye didn't say anything more; he'd leave everything to time.
Lu Jinye: "Brother Long, we've obtained the copyright, can we start filming now?"
Wu Long still hesitated: "Yezi, I'm not trying to discourage you, but to make a movie like this, even at the very lowest standard, it would cost at least 30 million, not including the publicity."
"Besides, even if you play the male lead, our budget can be less, but what about the female lead? What about the extras? These are the major expenses."
"Moreover, even if this drama is produced, it may not be able to be broadcast. All our funds will be invested. If it doesn't make a splash, our company will face a cash flow problem and have to declare bankruptcy."
Lu Jinye listened attentively to what Wu Long said: "Brother Long, I've thought about all of this. I have great faith in this project. I think it's perfect in terms of both the subject matter and the details of the script."
"This is the choice we are facing now: if we lose, we start over; if we win, we turn things around and make a great start."
"So, how about it, interested in taking a gamble?"
Lu Jinye looked at Wu Long with a serious expression.
Wu Long's thoughts raced through his mind a thousand times, but in the end he could only manage a helpless smile: "I'm truly defeated by you, kid."
"I'll go crazy with you this once. If we lose, you'll obediently come with me to sign with Dragonscale Media and make money for me."
Lu Jinye's eyes curved into a smile, sparkling with light.
"Okay, whatever you say."
Wu Long spat, "You dog! What do you mean 'listen to me'? If you listened to me, you wouldn't be running your little media company here now. You'd be the top dog at Longlin Media. Longlin Media is so good to you. They give you the highest pay and even promised to pay your breach of contract fees. And look at you, you've lost everything in those fees and are still causing trouble here..."
Lu Jinye covered his ears: "Ouch, ouch, Brother Long, I'm sick of hearing this."
Wu Long: "You won't listen to me no matter what I say. How come I never noticed you were such a gambler before? And you're still here betting with me on whether to win or lose."
Lu Jinye smiled without getting angry, and was about to explain.
Wu Long interrupted him again.
"Alright, that's enough. Let's leave it at that for now. Filming a movie is no easy job. I'll go and make the arrangements."
Lu Jinye stood up: "Welcome, Your Majesty."
Wu Long was almost laughing in exasperation, but then something occurred to him.
"No, we haven't discussed anything yet. What I told you about is the casting issue. What do you think?"
Lu Jinye nodded: "This is what I'm thinking. We're going to film a movie about school bullying, so why not find a school? We already have the location, and the students there can be ready-made actors."
Wu Long pondered: "You mean, recruit actors from schools?"
Lu Jinye nodded: "Yes, and the cost is also reduced."
Wu Long shook his head: "Have you ever thought that we are filming a high school bullying story? Many high schools wouldn't allow it, because they're afraid it will affect the students' studies."
Lu Jinye fell silent for a moment, then spoke up: "I'm wondering if we should go to Zhouping No. 1 Middle School in Zhouping City?"
“After all, I graduated from this school, so I can discuss it with the principal. Besides, the cost of living in Zhouping City is much lower than in Beijing, so the cost can be kept below 30 million.”
Wu Long thought it was a good idea: "Okay, then you take the lead in contacting the principal of Zhouping No.1 Middle School, and I'll go and set up the filming team first."
Lu Jinye: "Thanks for your hard work, Brother Long."
Wu Long rolled his eyes at Lu Jinye: "Not hard work~ but bad luck~"
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of Lu Jinye's office.
Lu Jinye chuckled lightly.
His agent is such a hypocrite.
Then I threw myself back into my busy work. Now that I'd made the decision, I'd better hurry up and get it done.
Moreover, as a sophomore, he has a heavy course load. After finishing his work, he often rushes to finish his coursework, not to mention that final exams are coming up soon.
After organizing the materials, Lu Jinye dialed the phone number of the principal of Zhouping No.1 Middle School.
"Hello Principal Zhou, I am Lu Jinye..."

Jiang was still half asleep when she woke up.
It was already 4 p.m.
Jiang's mother got up from the sofa, preparing to pull Jiang Zao out of bed.
He was stopped by his father.
Father Jiang: "What are you doing?"
Jiang's mother pouted: "Why are you criticizing me? Jiang Zaozao has been sleeping for so long. If we don't wake her now, do you believe she'll sleep until tomorrow morning?"
