Eunuch, do you really know these martial arts?

Chapter 291

However, the reason why the other party was able to achieve such a miraculous result is because he has been rooted in the industry for decades, has a lot of experience, and has been continuously growing as a director, which is completely different from Yang Mi.

Yang Mi's entry into the industry as an actress is like showing off her skills in front of Guan Yu—overestimating her own abilities.

This is like a sword saint who has practiced swordsmanship for decades and has a deep understanding of swords. He can wield the sword in a dazzling way. But if you suddenly ask him to play with a knife, a spear, or a staff, which are weapons he has not paid much attention to before, even if he can easily exert a certain level of skill and reach a relatively high level, he will never be able to reach the peak.

Even some apprentices who have only been in the industry for a few years are probably more proficient in other weapons than him.

In other words, sending him with other weapons to challenge a master of the same saintly level would be tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock and courting death.

Yang Mi did just that, but he couldn't understand the reasoning behind it at all. He always thought he had the ability to become a legend in one battle, so he wanted to make a super movie all at once to defend his status.

Those people were unwilling to invest in him because they saw his overestimation of his abilities.

They even found him ridiculous, which is why no one was willing to invest in him.

The so-called betting agreement was because the other party also saw that Yang Mi was extremely famous. If they could get her to devote herself to making movies for them, they could make a fortune in less than ten years, reaching a value of at least dozens of times more than 100 million.

Moreover, they were able to squeeze Yang Mi's salary to an extremely low level, leaving her with almost nothing. It could be said that they were able to squeeze Yang Mi's value to the limit; that was their idea.

So at this moment, after understanding the situation, Jiang Nian knew that Yang Mi's unstoppable determination meant she had reached the point of not turning back until she hit a brick wall.

That’s all.

Since she wants to play, let her play. At worst, I'll clean up the mess for her later.

And how could this possibly be difficult for Jiang Nian?

Just because he's not familiar with filmmaking doesn't mean someone else isn't.

Jiang Nian suddenly remembered that he had specifically added Tang Youyou's contact information last time, and agreed to meet up and chat when he had time. He had put the matter out of his mind, since it was just a polite remark at the time. He didn't expect that it would actually come in handy now.

"Hello! Is this Mr. Wang? Oh, yes, it's me, it's me."

Could you help me get in touch with Brother Li? I'm willing to sign this kind of agreement with him.

Yang Mi gripped his phone tightly, looking nervous. It was clear that no matter how composed he had seemed earlier, he was now completely flustered.

The phone rang, and a seemingly calm middle-aged man's voice came from the other end:

"It's General Manager Yang."

Are you sure you've figured it out?

Yang Mi nodded vigorously, agreeing without the slightest hesitation:

"Yes, Brother Li, I've thought it through. I'll sign this betting agreement."

"Oh? So decisive! Hahaha, great, great, then I'll have my assistant Xiao Wang send you the contract right away. We can just use electronic signatures; there's no need for a paper contract."

"No problem, Brother Li, I'll do whatever you say. As for the money..."

Yang Mi asked worriedly.

The other party readily replied:

"No problem, the money will be in your account within ten minutes of the contract being signed. The account number should still be the one you gave me before, right?"

"Yes, Brother Li, that's the one."

Yang Mi's eyes lit up with excitement.

"My God, a hundred million is so easy to get? This is like a joke. If I sign a few more betting agreements, wouldn't I have hundreds of millions? Making money like this feels like a dream."

Although the cost of this money was enormous, anyone would be excited when they received it, feeling like they had suddenly become a billionaire. Yang Mi was no exception.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Mi suddenly felt a great sense of relief, her face full of excitement.

In the end, some were so excited that they even pounced on him.

"Hahaha, Jiang Nian, I'm rich! Now 100 million is enough for me to finish filming the rest of the movie, and even cover the publicity."

And there are still some left over, we have a chance this time!

Yang Mi was so excited she was incoherent and overjoyed.

Finally, he straddled Jiang Nian and started making intimate gestures without thinking. He was so excited, it was as if he had been drugged and was out of control.

Although Yang Mi took the initiative this time, Jiang Nian was also happy to come.

Since it's already happened, one more time won't make a difference.

And happy times are always short-lived.

Furthermore, from the conversation between Yang Mi and the man named Brother Li, Jiang Nian could tell that the other party was clearly taken aback when he heard that Yang Mi was willing to sign the betting agreement.

And I was very surprised; I never expected Yang Mi to actually sign it.

This is clearly a very unequal agreement, with the other party only contributing 100 million.

But for the other party, it wasn't a big loss. However, for Yang Mi, it was like selling out the next twenty years of her youth.

The price is enormous, even if one is just filming peacefully without any restriction on personal freedom.

Moreover, he lives a very relaxed and carefree life every day, and he is guaranteed to earn more than 100 million yuan in twenty years. No matter how you look at it, it is more worthwhile to just focus on making movies.

Unfortunately, Yang Mi was ambitious and had lofty aspirations. He was not content to spend twenty years earning this money; he only wanted to achieve instant success.

After all, there are indeed a few exceptional individuals in the industry who, with just a small sum of money or even a few million yuan in betting agreements, eventually rise to the top and become billionaires. That's why Yang Mi wanted to learn from them.

And they wanted to play even bigger than them, to stage an even more spectacular comeback. Unfortunately, there aren't that many lucky ones.

An hour later. Yang Mi lay exhausted in her office chair, even though the office had been made extremely messy by the two of them, with the floor in a complete mess.

But Yang Mi didn't care. You see, he used to be very clean and would never allow his office to be even a little bit dirty. He was never one to tolerate a speck of dust. But this time, he didn't care at all and was only waiting for the betting agreement to arrive.

"Strange, why isn't the contract ready yet?"

Yang Mi's initial joy had subsided, but now she's starting to worry again.

Logically speaking, a contract is just a document, and its contents are not much different from other contracts, so it can be completed quickly.

But this time it's taking so long and it's still not done.

Actually, this was because the investor, known as Brother Li, never expected Yang Mi to agree to this condition.

At the dinner, Yang Mi solemnly expressed that she really hoped to get investment, even at any cost.

He stood up with a serious expression, but the others ignored him.

They even completely ignored him, treating him like a joke.

This investor, known as Brother Li, took pity on him.

Moreover, he was ambitious, so I wanted to help him out and give him a way out. So I casually said that I could sign a performance-based agreement for him. If he dared to do it, I would invest 100 million yuan without any problem. Unexpectedly, Yang Mi actually took it to heart.

They might even actually be considering doing something like that.

This was something he hadn't expected, so he hadn't prepared this contract at all.

But since Yang Mi is going to do it now, he won't stop her. If someone wants to jump into a fire pit, there's no need for him to stop them.

After all, he wasn't a saint, so after hanging up the phone with Yang Mi, he immediately ordered his subordinate, Boss Wang, to prepare the corresponding contract.

Out of caution, he also hired a professional legal team to personally review every item to ensure that there was absolutely no chance of failure and that there could be no mistakes.

That's just how meticulous he is in his work.

Moreover, he became interested. To be honest, he only treated the betting agreement as a joke, something he could brag about to countless people later.

At his level, when chatting with his peers, it's no longer about business; it's about who has more fun to keep their buddies entertained. If everyone's happy, they're naturally willing to lend a hand, and even a small slip of the tongue can make you a fortune.

That's how they always played, so how could he not be happy to suddenly get such a great opportunity? To him, this was a sure-fire way to make money.

"Interesting, so interesting."

The investor, known as Brother Li, suddenly had a new idea. He could sign the agreement with Yang Mi, so he could sign it with others. He didn't have to stick to just one person. There must be many others like Yang Mi who wanted to turn their lives around. These people were good tools for making money.

It seems necessary to develop this business. At this moment, he suddenly became excited. With his level and far-sighted vision, he could see at a glance how valuable Yang Mi was. Even if he let her film movies peacefully, and then use his resources to shoot commercials and earn endorsement fees, it would be enough for him to make a fortune. In twenty years, he calculated that she would earn at least two to three hundred million.

If things go even better, and he happens to create a blockbuster product, earning a billion or two billion yuan at once wouldn't be a problem. From those profits of over a billion yuan, a mere tens of millions would be enough to pay him for his hard work over the past twenty years.

If he were ruthless enough, he could add a clause to the agreement that if Yang Mi lost the 100 million, she would be buying his contract and would have to work for him for free for the next twenty years. He wouldn't have paid her a single penny, and she would have to do her best. In that case, all the money would be in her pocket.

However, at his level, he naturally understood that if he really didn't leave Yang Mi a single penny, making it difficult for her to even eat, how could she possibly work properly? So, in the end, he still had to feed the horse some grass so that it would have the energy to run. However, some coarse grains would be fine, and fine bran was unnecessary.

Thinking of this, Brother Li was extremely excited. He couldn't help but think of several celebrities in the industry who could do this, as these were all opportunities to make money.

Meanwhile, at Yang Mi's company, as she looked at the long-awaited contract and was getting worried, her email notification suddenly lit up.

The words "betting agreement" were clearly written on it.

"arrive!"

Yang Mi excitedly clicked on it and, sure enough, it was the final agreement she had written with the company called Brother Li.

But the next second, Yang Mi stared blankly at the computer screen. How could there be so many pages? The contract, which should have been written on one A4 page, was now densely packed with fifteen pages.

There were so many rules and regulations, a total of 150 conditions. Yang Mi was stunned, speechless with shock. Even the hand holding the mouse began to tremble slightly. From the very first condition, his expression turned grim.

Article 1, Effective Date of Contract: Starting from the date when Party A pays Party B, Yang Mi, 100 million yuan, with screenshots of the payment as proof.

Article 2. The service period is one year. If the bet fails upon the expiration of the term, Party B, Yang Mi, shall unconditionally serve Party A for twenty years without any breach of contract, including but not limited to menstrual periods, maternity leave, holidays, etc.

This clause means that Yang Mi must unconditionally obey the client under any circumstances, and even if she encounters an insurmountable situation, she has no choice but to step forward and let others manipulate her.

They were worse than slaves; it was a truly pitiful sight.

At least the slaves might have had some rest time.

And then there would be as many as 150 similar items. Looking at Yang Mi, her face turned red, her body trembled violently, and her expression was extremely ugly.

Even her breathing became rapid.

Suddenly, Yang Mi completely broke down, and like a madwoman, she violently overturned the books on the table, scattering them all over the floor, and smashed the water glass on the ground.
"One hundred million? So what if it's one hundred million? What kind of bullshit conditions are these? We're cooperating, not being slaves!"

Yang Mi vented her anger wildly, but at this moment, her anger could not solve anything.

Jiang Nian sighed helplessly.

This is Yang Mi. Knowing full well that it was a huge pit, a bottomless abyss that would devour people without spitting out their bones, she still jumped in.

But this was exactly what he wanted, since he was by his side and wanted to see what he would do after seeing these inhumane conditions. But what Jiang Nian didn't expect was...

After venting her anger, Yang Mi calmed down and actually picked up the mouse, typed her name into the electronic signature field, and clicked submit. The contract became effective the moment it was successfully uploaded.

Less than a minute later, with a beep, Yang Mi's phone received a text message from the bank stating that he had received 100 million yuan.

In that instant, Yang Mi's worried expression instantly transformed into one of pure joy:
"We're here! We're here! It really is 100 million! That's great! Now I have the money to continue making my movies. I'm sure I'll succeed! I'm sure I'll succeed!"
