Chapter 324 A Love Across Time and Space, A Modern Movie Queen's Fierce Love - Part 4
Chapter 324 A Love Across Time and Space, A Modern Movie Queen's Fierce Love - Part 4
The boss, trembling, pulled a handkerchief from his pocket, nervously wiping the sweat beading on his forehead, and hurriedly replied, "Yes...yes..."
He stole a glance at Fu Jinchuan in front of him and found that there was no obvious change in the other's expression. His heart tightened and he quickly began to defend himself.
"President Fu, listen to me, we did a lot of market research on this drama beforehand! The number of fans of the original work is staggering, the fan base is enormous! If we can make it well, it will definitely become a hit drama with low investment and high returns!"
At this point, the boss's voice unconsciously rose a little, as if he wanted to increase the credibility of his words.
Of course, he wasn't lying about doing market research.
To the boss's utter surprise, Fu Jinchuan, after hearing his words, said expressionlessly, "Since it's such a promising script, and you're so optimistic about this drama, then let's add another 50 million to the investment tomorrow. Also, you will personally oversee the publicity and distribution work this time, and there can be no mistakes whatsoever!"
The boss's eyes widened in surprise as he looked at Fu Jinchuan, who was sitting in the luxurious executive chair. He wondered to himself, "Why is there such a sudden increase in investment? Does the boss have extraordinary expectations for this drama?" Despite his doubts, the boss knew very well that as a subordinate, he had no choice but to obey the boss's orders.
Moreover, judging from this situation, the boss clearly attaches great importance to this drama. If it is ultimately ruined and the drama flops, then he will probably have to pack his things and leave!
Thinking of this, the boss felt a chill run down his spine and secretly resolved to do his best to make this drama a success, and never let down the boss's trust and expectations.
"Go arrange for the crew to have a meal together. Remember, the lead actor must be there." Fu Jinchuan stared intently at his phone screen, lost in thought, pondering to himself:
I wonder how she'll react when she sees me? This is their first meeting since becoming friends, and he's really looking forward to it.
It's worth noting that even when investing in numerous popular TV dramas based on major IPs, no leader had ever proactively suggested arranging a dinner for the production crew.
Fu Jinchuan, as a long-time employee of the company, has always been known for being obedient and well-behaved.
He knew that his boss had his reasons and considerations for making such an arrangement.
After the dinner party ended, Mu Wanwan gave Fu Jinchuan a five-star review without hesitation.
Upon receiving this comment, Fu Jinchuan was overjoyed, grinning from ear to ear as he hugged his phone tightly and chuckled to himself.
Just imagining that satisfied look on his face makes his upturned lips harder to suppress than the muzzle of an AK.
After filming wrapped, the director shouted, "Wanwan, Yunze, don't leave after we wrap up, stay a little while!"
Upon hearing this, the two people who were busy packing their things stopped what they were doing, looked at each other, and both showed a hint of doubt on their faces.
Seeing the two of them remain silent, their eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment, the director couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"The investors have actually added a whopping 5 million in investment! To express my gratitude, I've specially arranged this dinner to properly thank them. You two are the leads in this film, so you absolutely cannot miss this dinner." The director looked at the two people in front of him with a beaming smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation.
At the special request of those big spenders, not a single word about organizing this event must be revealed to outsiders.
After all, no matter what, for that tempting injection of 5 million, no matter how excessive or unreasonable their conditions or demands, he would agree without hesitation.
In the bizarre and unpredictable entertainment industry, it's no longer unusual for actors to have dinner with investors and bigwigs from the production crew.
However, Mu Wanwan had a vague sense of foreboding—this investment of up to 50 million was likely to be inextricably linked to her.
Mu Wanwan and Kong Yunze stepped into the luxurious private room together.
The investors' representatives and crew members were sitting together, chatting and laughing.
As soon as the director saw them walk in, he immediately stood up enthusiastically to greet them and said kindly, "Wanwan, Yunze, come and sit here!"
As he spoke, the director pointed to two empty seats not far away.
After Mu Wanwan gracefully took her seat as instructed, she inadvertently noticed that there was an empty seat to her left.
Just as Kong Yunze was about to sit down, the director suddenly spoke up to stop him, saying, "Hey, Yunze, don't sit there. Please sit to Mu Wanwan's right."
Upon hearing this, Kong Yunze was slightly taken aback, but then obediently changed direction and sat down to Mu Wanwan's right.
Immediately afterwards, the director, with a beaming smile, began to introduce the important figures present: "Wanwan, Yunze, this is Mr. Zhang, the person in charge of this investment!"
As the director finished speaking, the man referred to as President Zhang smiled and nodded to the two of them in a friendly manner.
With a smile on her face, Mu Wanwan gracefully took a step forward and extended her right hand towards President Zhang.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Zhang, for your generous investment! I am Mu Wanwan, the lead actress in this drama. Please rest assured, Mr. Zhang and everyone else, we will do our best to complete this filming task and will unconditionally cooperate with the director and the publicity team." Mu Wanwan's voice was clear and pleasant.
Immediately afterwards, Kong Yunze, who was standing to the side, also quickly stepped forward, smiled, extended his hand to General Manager Zhang, and shook it gently.
He said politely, "It's a pleasure to meet Mr. Zhang. I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration in the future!"
Mr. Zhang scanned the two lead actors with great interest, a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
He then began to praise the two of them: "Haha, great minds think alike! The director was praising you both to me the whole time. Look at you two, not only are you outstanding in appearance and have extraordinary temperament, but your acting skills must also be first-rate. In my opinion, you two are destined for a bright future and a dazzling career!"
Upon hearing this praise, Mu Wanwan and Kong Yunze quickly responded humbly, "Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Zhang. We still have much to learn and improve upon. However, please believe that we will do our utmost to live up to your high expectations!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Kong Yunze, a gentleman, picked up his wine glass without hesitation and toasted Mr. Zhang, the representative of the investors.
After all, in such a situation, as a man, he should take the initiative and not let the delicate Mu Wanwan take the lead.
Seeing how sensible and considerate Kong Yunze was, the director couldn't help but nod in approval.
