Luo Shimiao's eyes widened. "Are you really my assistant?"
Have you even considered my back?!
Gu Nian hugged Luo Shimiao from behind, his thin lips close to her ear, and said, "Is this the assistant your manager found for you?"
"yes!"
"She's quite sensible, barely passable."
Luo Shimiao: "........."
...
For today's opening ceremony, Luo Shimiao was worried that Gu Nian would be bored staying alone in the hotel, so she took him along.
Gu Nian looked around at the RV's decor, and after a while gave his evaluation: "So-so."
“I knew you would complain,” Luo Shimiao sighed helplessly. “We were in a hurry, and this was the most expensive and best we could buy. I’ll have to make do with your precious fasting for now.”
Lin Mai got into the car and sat in the seat next to the driver, looking at online bloggers' reviews of a certain item on her phone, and writing down the good ones.
A dozen minutes later, the driver pulled the car over to the side of the road: "We're here."
Luo Shimiao quickly kissed the man on the lips: "You're too eye-catching, so just play in the car."
"Okay, go ahead." Gu Nian took his laptop out of his laptop bag.
Only the driver and Gu Nian remained in the car.
Wang De glanced at the handsome man intently staring at his computer and thought to himself, "They're such a perfect match."
......
On stage, after the host introduced the guests, the production company representatives were invited to come up and speak.
Luo Shimiao noticed that he had inadvertently caught a glimpse of Director Jiang making a phone call not far away, gesturing wildly with an excited expression.
The host called out the names of the production company representatives on stage, but after waiting for a while and not seeing anyone come up, he invited another production company representative to come up.
As a result, only one of the four production company representatives showed up.
The main creators and actors in the audience also noticed that something was wrong.
Aside from this minor incident, the rest of the ceremony proceeded smoothly.
Luo Shimiao took the incense from the staff and joined everyone in bowing to the four directions before placing the incense in the incense burner.
After offering incense, firecrackers are lit.
"Crackling and popping..."
Little Green was so frightened that she hid against Luo Shimiao's chest.
Luo Shimiao took it out and thoughtfully covered its ears.
After a cloud of smoke cleared, the crew members handed out a large stack of red envelopes to everyone.
Little Green looked at the red envelope in front of her, raised her head and asked, "Handsome young man, can I have a red envelope?"
"Okay." The staff member smiled and put the red envelope into its mouth.
Luo Shimiao looked thoughtfully at the little green dog asking for red envelopes. He thought that if he took it with him when visiting relatives during the New Year, he might get some unexpected rewards.
It's good at flattering and shameless; it might just get a lot of red envelopes (cash gifts).
After the opening ceremony, the forced smile on Director Jiang's face vanished instantly.
Mi You nudged Luo Shimiao with her elbow and whispered, "Director Jiang, what's wrong? Why are you looking so gloomy on such a joyous occasion?"
"I don't know." Luo Shimiao shook her head.
He Yang said to a gentle and beautiful woman, "Hao Yun, you're more familiar with the director, why don't you go and ask him?"
Hao Yun, a rising star, plays the kind and gentle female lead, Xu Ying, in the film.
“Okay,” she nodded in reply.
Before she could go over, Director Jiang walked over first and said in a deep voice, "Come with me, I have something to say to you."
Jiang Cheng led everyone onto his RV.
Looking at the actors he had painstakingly selected, he suppressed his anger and said, "As everyone knows, besides me, there are four other production companies involved in this film."
“Just now, three production companies suddenly withdrew their investment. With their departure, the funding dried up, and we can't start filming until we find new investors. The remaining funds won't last much longer.” Jiang Cheng lowered his head and sighed heavily.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this.
Hao Yun frowned and said, "This has disrupted everyone's schedules, and it's clearly intentional."
"Sigh, I've been tricked!" Jiang Cheng said painfully, covering his face.
Just as everyone remained silent.
Luo Shimiao looked up at Director Jiang: "If they won't vote, I will."
Jiang Cheng suddenly raised his face and said in surprise, "Shi Miao, this is no small sum of money."
"How much did they invest?"
"Over 100 million in total." Jiang Cheng went outside and typed on his phone: "The estimated cost of our film is 300 million."
Luo Shimiao fiddled with the red envelope and said casually, "I'll make up for the missing part."
Everyone was shocked after hearing this. They just took out 100 million yuan like that. Weren't they afraid that if the box office was bad, they wouldn't even be able to make back their costs?
Jiang Cheng swallowed hard and asked, "Are you really going to invest? Aren't you afraid of losing money?"
"Director Jiang, do you lack confidence in yourself?" Luo Shimiao looked at him with a smile.
He straightened his back, his eyes resolute: "Yes! I invested almost half of my life savings into this film, and I even got gray hairs while preparing for it."
"I believe in my judgment and in everyone's acting skills. With everyone's joint efforts, we will definitely be able to create a great film!"
Luo Shimiao patted his shoulder: "My little green girl's living expenses depend on Director Jiang."
With the funding issue resolved, the dark clouds hanging over him instantly dissipated, and Jiang Cheng's face, marked by the passage of time, once again broke into a smile.
“No problem,” Jiang Cheng paused, looking at the little green creature on her shoulder, “But…is raising it so expensive?”
“That’s right. They have to use the best for everything, even their bowls are made of pure gold,” Luo Shimiao sighed, looking down. “If I keep supporting them like this, I’ll go bankrupt.”
Little Green looked speechlessly at the woman who was ruining its reputation, and decided to give her face by not exposing her.
