Chapter 61 Director Fang Wants to Be Sissi's Boss
.......
Liu Yifei led the way, with Fang Yi following a step behind.
The two walked through the garden to the front of the villa, stepped up the stairs and entered.
The interior was spacious and bright, with crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and several unidentifiable Western paintings hanging on the snow-white walls.
"Meow..."
In the living room, two cats came out on their short legs to greet them, circled the little girl and Fang Yi a couple of times, and then left on their own.
It seemed like they were just coming out to say hello, acting all aloof.
The two sat down on the sofa, and Liu Yifei put the wire aside and made tea for Fang Yi.
At this time...
Hearing the noise, Liu Xiaoli, who was in the kitchen, swayed her hips as she walked out and smiled when she saw Fang Yi.
"Director Fang, welcome to our home."
"Hello, Auntie, sorry to bother you."
Fang Yi stood up, greeted them politely, and sat back down on the sofa.
Seeing her daughter making tea, Liu Xiaoli went back to the kitchen and brought out a large plate of fruit.
The mother and daughter, one pouring tea and the other serving fruit.
Fang Yi sat upright on the sofa, feeling quite dignified and comfortable.
However, the grandeur only lasted a few seconds. When the young girl served tea, he stood up again.
well..
There were many rules and regulations on my first visit.
The three sat down again. Liu Xiaoli picked out a bright red apple, slowly peeled it with a knife, and started the conversation: "Director Fang, you must be very busy these days. When will the new movie start filming?"
"It'll be soon, scheduled for August 15th."
"That's only a few days away."
Liu Xiaoli smiled and raised her chin slightly, glancing at her daughter: "This girl has been getting ambitious lately, she wants to go and act in movies again."
What..
Auntie, you must be too proud!
Fang Yi muttered a complaint to himself, but didn't reply. He then looked at Liu Yifei, who was pouting.
Clearly, the little girl was also resentful of her mother's scolding.
"Hua Yi contacted me again recently, inviting Qianqian to join them, and I'm having a headache about it."
Liu Xiaoli continued, speaking casually and lightly about her intention to host the dinner party today.
After peeling the apple, she cut it into several pieces with a knife, then grabbed a handful of grapes and arranged them on a small white plate.
"Here, Director Fang, have some grapes and apples."
"Thank you, Auntie."
Fang Yi watched her delicate movements, took the small plate with both hands, picked up a grape and put it in his mouth.
Liu Yifei shifted her position, moved closer, and reached into the dish to grab a piece of apple.
One bite, and it's crunchy!
"Sisi, if you want some, peel it yourself." Liu Xiaoli glared at her, annoyed by her rudeness.
"Mom's peeling is delicious."
The little girl wasn't afraid at all. She flattered him and happily ate the remaining half of the apple.
The mother and daughter's daily life is warm and comfortable, allowing Fang Yi to feel the long-lost family atmosphere.
Since the time travel, my parents have passed away. The last time I saw my cousin Fang Qing, I felt a sense of kinship.
Most of the time, he was alone!
Thinking of this, Fang Yi felt like smoking and unconsciously took out a cigarette from his pocket.
The little girl looked at him, opened the coffee table, and took out a crystal ashtray, placing it in front of him.
"Senior brother, smoke less."
Fang Yi smiled, lit a cigarette under the watchful eyes of the mother and daughter, and asked, "Auntie, what kind of treatment and conditions did Hua Yi offer Qianqian?"
"The benefits are pretty good."
Liu Xiaoli sniffed the smoke and thought to herself that it had been a long time since she had smelled a man at home.
She picked up another apple and began to recount how Hua Yi had come to know them.
"The person who came was Zhou Siwei, the newly appointed vice president of Huayi. He told me that he could give Xixi the treatment of one of the four leading actresses."
Zhou Siwei offered two cooperation models: one was a direct five-year contract with Huayi Brothers, with Xixi and the company splitting the profits 80/20, and Xixi receiving the resources of one leading role in a film and one leading role in a TV series each year.
Another option is for Huayi to invest in Red Star Wu, acquiring a 30% stake. For the first three years, Huayi would provide Xixi with the lead role in one film each year.
"There are two models; the former offers better benefits, while the latter offers greater freedom."
indeed.
Fang Yi nodded after listening; Hua Yi was quite frank.
Instead of binding the young girl with a contract like they would with newcomers, they gave the mother and daughter two options!
Zhou Siwei, whom Liu Xiaoli mentioned, is an elite talent who was previously in charge of Huayi Overseas's distribution and copyright business.
After Wang Jinghua left, Wang Zhongjun recalled her and appointed her to take charge of Huayi's overall artist management business in a time of crisis.
Fang Yi pondered for a moment and then asked, "Auntie, Qianqian, what are your thoughts? What are your specific ideas and concerns?"
He needed to figure out what the mother and daughter were thinking, especially the little girl's thoughts.
As far as he was concerned, he was good friends with the girl and naturally didn't want to see her being manipulated by capital.
Liu Xiaoli remained silent, lost in thought, unable to make up her mind for a moment.
Liu Yifei crossed her arms, furrowed her brows, and said softly, "Senior brother, Changchang is going to develop her career independently. She can act when she wants, and play when she wants... or rest when she wants."
understood!
The little girl wanted freedom more.
Fang Yi smiled slightly and said smoothly, "Then let's reject the first cooperation model."
"What about the second one?"
Liu Xiaoli perked up, her dignified and beautiful face turning solemn as she stared intently at him.
Fang Yi picked up a grape, put it in his mouth, and mumbled slightly, "We can give Huayi a small investment."
"His godfather wouldn't allow it!"
Liu Xiaoli shook her head and explained the situation inside Hongxingwu.
"Director Fang, you may not know this, but Xixi's Red Star Wu is not wholly owned by my daughter and me. Her godfather and Zhang Jizhong also have investments."
"Sissi and I own 35% of the shares, her godfather owns 50%, and Zhang Jizhong owns 15%."
Liu Xiaoli's words revealed her predicament, carrying a hint of sorrow about the difficulties of being a mother.
"Mother.."
Liu Yifei recognized her mother's tone and shook her head.
"I'm not signing the contract!"
"Don't talk nonsense, listen to your senior brother's idea first."
Liu Xiaoli quickly composed herself, smiled softly, and handed the peeled apple to her daughter.
Fang Yi winked at the little girl and said, "Boss Chen has been away from the entertainment industry for a long time. Apart from providing some funds, he can hardly help Qianqian's future career."
Liu Xiaoli nodded in agreement. She had already considered this, but as a woman, without Chen Jingfei's help, it would be difficult for her to protect Qianqian's stability in the entertainment industry.
Fang Yi's appearance and rise gave her another option.
Based on her observations over the past few years, the young man may have feelings for the daughter, but since college, he has always maintained a clear head and respect for Xixi, making him a trustworthy man.
At least... Fang Yi never showed any lecherous behavior or possessiveness towards beautiful women towards Qianqian.
The director, who has made 8000 million at the box office, is young and promising, and has a new project worth 5000 million to produce.
Given time, it's not impossible to protect Sisi's safety.
With this in mind, Liu Xiaoli sincerely felt that inviting Fang Yi to visit today was the right decision.
She even chuckled to herself, thankful that she hadn't done what she did before—stopping Sisi's college classmate and breaking up their relationship.
For some reason, Liu Xiaoli thought of Chen Hong, that great beauty who is now the high-ranking wife of a famous director.
She and Chen Hong had known each other for a long time. Since they both lived in Beijing, they often went shopping and malls together.
Chen Hong's demeanor is completely different from when she was at the height of her popularity as an actress; she is even more impressive than before.
"My opinion is simple: give Huayi a small investment share, 10% will be fine."
"Auntie and Qianqian took the opportunity to reclaim more shares, thus reducing the influence of Boss Chen and Director Zhang in Hongxingwu."
"With Hua Yi involved, they dare not be too forceful."
Fang Yi spoke in a gentle tone, with a hint of certainty, as if the matter were easy to resolve.
Liu Xiaoli's mind raced as she subtly observed his handsome face, then asked in bewilderment, "Huayi wants 30% of the shares; 10% won't satisfy the appetites of the two kings."
"Haha...it's alright."
Fang Yi chuckled softly, put down the small white plate in his hand, and met the beautiful woman's eyes, which were as clear as autumn water.
"Auntie, how about I become Sisi's boss?"
"The remaining 20% stake in Hongxingwu will be funded by my Yidongrenxin Media Culture Company!"
