Chapter 971 – Investing in One's Own Shot
Huo Yan walked out of the room. After a full ten minutes, he walked back in. His expression became a bit ugly. He sat down again, looked at Liu Meng and Xia Xia, and then stopped.
"Is there a problem?" Wu Anfeng asked with a slight frown.
"What do you mean?" Before Liu Meng and Summer could say anything, Wu Anfeng got angry first, "Huo Yan, what are you doing? "Earlier, when I said that I would let Jiang Xiaoyi be the female lead, you always said that there was something more appropriate, so I told you to find Liu Meng for me. You found Liu Meng, but never signed the contract with her, saying that she didn't agree, but now that I've agreed, Liu Meng agrees, yet you're actually doing this for me, are you playing with me?"
"Director Wu, don't be angry, don't be angry, this really isn't what I meant. I've always wanted to help you finish this movie, that's why I insisted on using Miss Liu. You know now, Miss Liu's temperament is very suitable for this movie …" Huo Yan hurriedly explained.
Huo Yan sighed. "Director Wu, this is what the investors wanted. I couldn't do anything about it. I just communicated with him for a long time, but his tone was very firm. I really did my best."
"Huo Yan, I've already told you. Besides Liu Meng, no one else can be the female lead. This script is mine. If you guys want to invest, then invest. If you don't, then forget about it. I don't believe I can't find investors!" Wu Anfeng was obviously furious. He directly said these harsh words.
"Hey, why don't you let me make a movie?" At this moment, Liu Meng finally spoke. She was clearly unhappy, and stared at Huo Yan in dissatisfaction. "Are you sick? "Previously, you insisted that I make a movie, and when I thought making a movie might be fun, you refused to let me do it. Do you believe that I would beat you up?"
"That's right. Why are you suddenly not letting Mengmeng be the female lead?" Di Yuan was also very depressed. She was happy just then, but now that she couldn't make the movie, wouldn't she lose her role in the movie as well?
"This…" Huo Yan hesitated for a moment.
"I say, Brother Huo, what you're doing is a bit unkind. You have to give a reason, right?" Dakin was also a little unhappy.
Upon hearing this question, Huo Yan was momentarily stunned. "Mister Xia, you, how did you know …"
"Don't ask me how I know. I'm just asking you who that idiot is!" Xia Zhi said unhappily.
"Bro, why did you ask Yi Zhi Yan?" Dakin was puzzled as well.
Summer turned to look at Dakin. "You know that idiot Yi Zhiyan?"
"This, man, I don't know him, but I do know him." Dai Jin lowered his voice, "He is a merchant from the coastal areas who controls a lot of private capital. No one knows the specifics, but it is said that half of the private hospitals in the country are under his control, and investing in them is just one of his investments. He also has access to real estate, film, television and other industries.
"Yes, I've heard of him too. I've heard that he's very powerful, but I've never seen him either. I've only heard of him from others." Di Yuan also agreed on the side.
"Then what does that idiot Yi Zhiyan have to do with that ugly bastard Jiang Xiaoyi?" Xia asked again.
"Mr. Xia, did you and Miss Liu have a conflict just now with Miss Jiang?" At this time, Huo Yan asked.
"That ugly bastard with a sore head and sore feet tried to find someone to bully me, but we beat her up!" Liu Meng was a bit unhappy. She shook her summer arm, "Little Scoundrel, I'm not happy right now. I want to make a movie. What should I do?"
"If we want to do it, we can do it. It's just money. It's not like we lack money." Summer said, unconcerned.
"Right, right, I have money!" Liu Meng was suddenly happy. She looked at Wu Anfeng and said, "Hey, let's talk about it. I'll pay. How about we continue filming?"
Wu Anfeng was stunned, "Miss Liu, the investment for this movie is huge. The budget is at least 500 million, maybe even more. Are you sure you want to invest it?"
"Five hundred million?" Liu Meng tilted her head. "Little Scoundrel, I don't know how much money I have. I have to ask Qiao Donghai."
"There's no need to ask. I have money anyway, so I'll just pay." Xia Chen didn't care at all, "That Director Wu, I'll give you one billion yuan, so you should prepare to continue shooting. As for the specific arrangements, go discuss them with Qiao Donghai, I'll get him to contact you."
"Mr. Xia, are you serious?" Wu Anfeng was still in disbelief.
"Nonsense, I'm not in the mood to joke with you." Summer was a little displeased.
"Director Wu, don't worry. We'll definitely be able to pay in the summer." Dai Jin knew what Wu Anfeng was worried about, so he said something to the side. Dai Jin didn't know how much money there was in the summer, but he felt that this guy had already gotten the Princess of Anasama in the summer, so there was no way he didn't have money.
"Wow, then can I continue filming with big sister Mengmeng?" Di Yuan seemed very excited.
Being urged on by Liu Meng, Xia Chen had no choice but to take out his phone and give Qiao Donghai a call. On the other side, Qiao Donghai heard that he was suddenly going to invest in a movie and Liu Meng was the female lead, so he basically understood what was going on.
Of course, Qiao Donghai himself was quite supportive of this movie project. He quickly contacted Wu Anfeng and the two of them started to talk about the movie over the phone.
"Mr. Xia, Miss Liu, I'm really sorry." Hesitating for a moment, he lowered his voice and said, "You two should be careful, Yi Ziyan is not a man to be trifled with. Although I've never seen him before, even my boss would not dare to provoke him. Also, there are rumors that Yi Zhiyan and Jiang Xiaoyi have a special relationship.
"What special relationship do they have?" Di Yuan asked curiously.
