In Huayu, the career reward is spy

Chapter 100 Arguing with Lao Cai
“Twenty-eight brands are willing to sponsor.”

"Seven TV stations want to cooperate."

"More than a dozen companies want to get people into the team!"

"Six publishers discuss DVD copyright!"

"Ten TV stations want to sign a first-run broadcast agreement!"

In the Sugar Man's office, Lao Cai counted them one by one, looked at Ji Yu and said:

"Now you know how valuable you are, right? With so many brand investors, will they just pick any heroine? You need to figure out your own positioning. If you can't do it, you can spend more money to compensate."

Ji Yu looked at Old Cai, whose face was flushed with ruddy light, with a deep frown on his face. After holding it in for a long time, he couldn't help but speak out his true feelings.

"Sister, I'm not a commodity, and neither is Li Xiaoran. I was planning to record a folk song at Rolling Stone today, but the producer said there's no market for it.

I rewrote four songs. I wrote so many songs just to prove to you that I can make money without Wesley! But Wesley can’t make that much money without me! "

Ji Yu paused for a moment, sighed, and said:

"I didn't intend to tell you this, but people can't live just to make money. If it was just to make money, I could make more money if I wasn't in the entertainment industry, money that I couldn't spend in my lifetime."

Old Cai listened to Ji Yu's words. Although he thought it was outrageous, he subconsciously felt that what he said was true.

Ji Yu rubbed his neck and said, “I want to shoot Wesley because I like him and I want to share the company’s worries.

But sister, I will be unhappy if you only consider money and not me.

I can understand you, and I hope you can understand me.

You shouldn’t have said that today.”

Old Cai was stunned and stared at Ji Yu in a daze.

Ji Yu smiled at her, stood up and said, "I'll leave first. Teacher Li is waiting for me at home."

"Xiaoyu!"

Lao Cai stood up and called him, but Ji Yu just waved his hand, saying "don't work overtime too late" and left.

After Ji Yu left, Lao Cai sat in the office and fell into silence.

She took out a document from her desk, which contained all of Ji Yu's income statistics for this year.

The film remuneration is negligible, but the income from photo albums and records is very high. The part that goes to the company is much more than what Lao Cai earns from filming TV series.

That doesn't even include the revenue Wesley will bring in.

It was this money that changed her mentality. Ji Yu was like a money tree, and a lot of gold coins would fall out when he shook it.

Old Cai looked at the document and sighed deeply.

Maybe I have really changed a lot recently.

She felt that her mentality was not as good as Ji Yu's, as if she had never seen money.

I started to judge the people around me by their money. I really shouldn’t have said that tonight.

Lao Cai sat in the office for a long time until his cell phone rang.

It was a text message from Ji Yu, reminding her to get off work early and go home, and not to think too much.

Ji Yu had already arrived home by now, and Li Xiaoran had cooked.

He put away his phone, looked at the table full of dishes, and exclaimed, "Such a sumptuous feast?!"

Li Xiaoran said happily: "I don't know if you like it. Last time in Beijing, I saw that you liked braised pork very much, so I made a big portion for you."

"I like everything that Teacher Li cooks."

As Ji Yu spoke, he reached out to pinch the braised pork, but was stopped by Li Xiaoran.

"Wash your hands first."

"Then you help me wash it."

"You're a little kid."

"correct."

Li Xiaoran took Ji Yu to wash his hands and dried them bit by bit with a towel.

Ji Yu looked at her and said, "Teacher Li, you look like my mother. She washed my hands like this when I was a child."

Li Xiaoran knew about his family affairs, but didn't know how to answer, so she just took him out to eat.

Ji Yu ate the braised pork and said, "The braised pork you make is delicious, and my mom's is also delicious, but my dad can't make that taste, and I can't make it either."

Li Xiaoran said nothing, but just silently picked up some food for him. She didn't know why he was so sad today.

I've never heard him talk so much about family matters before.

Ji Yu ate the braised pork with big mouthfuls, and soon the corners of his mouth were covered with oil.

"Eat slowly. If you're not full, I'll make more for you tomorrow." Somehow, Li Xiaoran felt like she was raising a son.

Ji Yu wiped his mouth, exhaled lightly and said, "I didn't actually quarrel with Lao Cai yesterday, but we did quarrel today."

"You lied." A flash of anger flashed through Li Xiaoran's mind, but he quickly calmed down.

Ji Yu looked at her and asked, "Are you not angry?"

Li Xiaoran shook her head. She really didn’t need to be angry. How many men don’t pretend to be pitiful?

I just hug, I just rub, I just
I really missed him yesterday. Even if Ji Yu didn't pretend to be pitiful, I would probably have come over.

Ji Yu breathed a sigh of relief and told Lao Cai everything that happened between him and Lao Cai.

After listening to this, Li Xiaoran comforted her: "You don't have to help me. Don't affect yourself."

Ji Yu shook his head and said, "It's okay if she doesn't need you. She won't be angry. The main thing is that she is a little too concerned about interests now. She just scolded me today, but she might sell me out in the future."

"Probably not."

Li Xiaoran's tone was a little uncertain.

When she was talking to Ji Yu on the phone and heard him talk about Lao Cai, she felt that they had a good relationship, just like brother and sister.

At that time, she was envious, envious that Ji Yu had a good boss.

Ji Yu sighed. He originally joined Tangren as a transitional team, but later his relationship with Lao Cai became better and better, so he took the initiative to pull out the Wesley project.

Otherwise why bother?

With his current fame, he can just lie down and do nothing.

Li Xiaoran held his hand and said, "You really think of Ms. Cai as your sister, otherwise you wouldn't be so sad. Don't think too much. If you talk it out today, there won't be much to worry about."

Ji Yu sighed, "I hope so."

Just as he finished speaking, the doorbell rang outside.

Li Xiaoran stared at Ji Yu subconsciously. Who would come to see you in the middle of the night?
Ji Yu was also confused. Besides the people from the company, the only one who knew that he lived here was Li Xiaoran.

Wouldn't someone from the company come looking for him at this time?
Old Cai got so angry that he came over with a knife to kill him?

Not so much
Ji Yu stood up and ran to open the door. He saw through the peephole that it was Lao Cai and he breathed a sigh of relief.

You come here so late, you won’t really come to settle the score with him, will you?

He didn't say anything excessive.

He opened the door, looked at Lao Cai and said, "Sister, why are you here so late?"

"Looking for a drink with you."

Old Cai squeezed in and changed his slippers skillfully as if nothing had happened. He called out to the inside: "Xiao Ran, you're here too, right? Don't mind if I disturb you guys?"

Li Xiaoran, who originally wanted to hide, heard the voice, so she plucked up the courage to come out and obediently called "sister".

Old Cai smiled and walked over to her, took her hand and said, "You are so beautiful."

Li Xiaoran smiled awkwardly and glanced at Ji Yu secretly, not understanding what was going on.

Ji Yu shrugged behind him. He had no idea why Lao Cai came here.

Suddenly come to his senses and apologize?

Not that much.

Old Cai turned around and looked at Ji Yu and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Open the wine!"

"Oh." Ji Yu trotted to the kitchen.

Old Cai turned to Li Xiaoran and said, "Don't be fooled by her silly appearance. She is actually very good at lying. Don't be fooled by her." Li Xiaoran smiled awkwardly. She was cheated last night.

At this time, Ji Yu poked his head out of the kitchen and shouted, "Sister, do you want beer or red?"

"White!"

"Tap water? That's plenty."

"Get lost, you are so dishonest!"

Ji Yu smiled at her and said, "Sister, I am quite happy when you scold me."

"You are so shameless!"

Old Cai glared at him, walked into the dining room, looked at the table full of dishes and said, "How did you eat this meal? Why was the braised pork eaten?"

Li Xiaoran whispered: "All of them were eaten by Ji Yu. He was very sad today and talked a lot about his mother. His mother's braised pork is delicious, but his mother only eats it because of money..."

Old Cai's expression froze and he felt even more guilty.

"The wine is here." Ji Yu ran out of the kitchen, holding a bottle of white wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "Just one bottle, drink it and go home to sleep."

"Who said I'm going home to sleep? I'm sleeping with Xiaoran tonight!"

"Then I won't give you any more drinks. Don't compete with me for Teacher Li!"

"Get out!"

"Leave me alone!"

"I care about you, I will beat you!"

Lao Cai grabbed the wine, poured it out and said, "This glass of wine is my apology to you!"

After saying that, she finished it in one gulp. Li Xiaoran wanted to persuade her but was stopped by Ji Yu.

Why are you persuading her? Just let her drink, otherwise she will feel uncomfortable.

After drinking, Lao Cai poured himself a second glass and prepared to continue, but Ji Yu reached out to stop him.

As soon as he took it, he was laughed at: "I know this cup, it's my turn to apologize, sister, I didn't speak well tonight, don't be angry."

After saying that, he finished it in one gulp.

Lao Cai did not stop him. After he finished drinking, she reached out to hug him, patted his back and said, "Xiao Yu, thank you, sister."

"Thank you too, but can you please let go first? Teacher Li is jealous."

Li Xiaoran, who was named, immediately shouted, "I didn't, Ji Yu, you are talking nonsense again!"

Ji Yu laughed and pulled Lao Cai and Li Xiaoran to sit down to eat and drink.

Halfway through the meal, Lao Cai started talking about records.

"Did you really write four songs today? Don't you like them? If you want to sing folk songs, go ahead."

Ji Yu thought about it, but still shook his head and refused.

Originally, he sang whatever came to his mind.

I do feel a bit competitive today, but now that I’ve written it, it would be wrong not to sing it.

Seeing him like this, Lao Cai said nothing more. As for the matter of the Wesley heroine, she did not mention it further.

I’m already in talks with brand sponsors and investors, and there’s no way to withdraw all of them now, otherwise it would offend too many people and I won’t be able to survive in this circle in the future.

As for Li Xiaoran, let's arrange for her to play the second female lead later.

No matter what the investors say, she has to earn some face for her brother!

Ji Yu was right, he could make money without Wesley, but Wesley couldn't make that much money without him!
Old Cai felt that he should stand up straighter!
But Old Cai would rather recruit Li Xiaoran, which would save a lot of trouble.

It’s just that the company is not big enough now and can’t support so many artists.

Wait a little longer.

After dinner in the evening, Lao Cai was a little tipsy and couldn't drive, so he had to stay and sleep. Li Xiaoran helped him to the guest room.

Ji Yu was also a little tipsy. He returned to his room, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Li Xiaoran wiped the sweat from his forehead and was completely convinced by the siblings.

But I also envy their relationship.

Working in a company like this, no wonder Ji Yu is so happy every day.

If it were her, she would also wake up with a smile every day.

The next morning.

Ji Yu got up very early and exercised on the balcony. He had not tried the breathing method of ancient martial arts yet.

Holding a cup of coffee, Lao Cai looked at Ji Yu, who was standing in a strange posture, and asked, "Are you going to record a song today?"

"Well, we still have to rehearse the dance."

Old Cai took a sip of coffee and looked back at the living room. He didn't see Li Xiaoran coming out, so he whispered, "Are you sure you're with Li Xiaoran? Does Bingbing know?"

Ji Yu finished his exercise, stood up, wiped his sweat and said, "I like it no matter what."

"You ask me? I'm not a man, how would I know what to do?"

Old Cai kicked him angrily and said, "Just wait for your penis to be cut off when you sleep one day."

Ji Yu felt a chill in his crotch, and looked at Lao Cai's departing back and shouted, "You are my sister, why don't you help me?"

"No help!"

Ji Yu looked at her heartless back, snorted and said, "If you don't want to help, forget it. I have plenty of means and strength. At worst, I can kneel down and beg for mercy."

The little brother must be saved!
After having breakfast at home in the morning, Ji Yu and Li Xiaoran left together. Lao Cai said he wanted to take a nap.

Li Xiaoran came here the night before yesterday, having left his publicity work behind, and now has to go back.

Ji Yu was a little reluctant, but he could only watch her leave.

After Li Xiaoran left, Ji Yu went to Rolling Stone.

Record songs and rehearse concert dances!

Ji Yu is not afraid of dancing, because the skill of dancing is one of the rewards for Hua Ze Lei.

Not as good as a professional dancer, but good enough for a concert!
In the Rolling Stones' practice room, the dance teacher clapped his hands and shouted, "One, two, three, four, two, two, three, four, stop. Brother Yu, that move you just made was wrong. You need to lift your hips."

"Oke Oke!"

Ji Yu wiped the sweat off his face, corrected himself and continued practicing.

It’s not easy to hold a concert. It’s not easier than filming a movie.

After training at Rolling Stone for a day, Ji Yu didn't feel very tired because he was in good physical condition. But he was really hungry.

But when he thought about having no food to eat when he returned home, he began to miss Teacher Li.

He took out his cell phone and called Lao Cai, but Lao Cai ignored him and told him to find a place to eat.

Old Cai, you have no love!
Lao Cai is very busy. Negotiating with investors and sponsors is not easy.

Not to mention the publicity and hype, which causes a lot of trouble.

Fortunately, there is a director to help share the worry of hype, otherwise Lao Cai would be really busy.

The director chosen by Wesley is Mai Guanzhi, a famous TVB director who has directed popular TV series such as The Creation of the Century, The Deer and the Cauldron, and Snow Mountain Flying Fox.

Li Guoli was specially invited from TVB to play Wesley this time.

While Mai Guanzhi helped plan the script, he also revealed casting information to the public from time to time.

Only a heroine like Bai Su can arouse the public's curiosity.

Hype is an easy thing, the most difficult thing is how to change the original work of young Wesley.

The original work of Young Wesley is composed of more than a dozen short stories, which also reflect many real-life figures, so it is difficult to change the script.

If the changes are not made properly, it is estimated that it will not pass the review.

Mai Guanzhi's head hurts as he's trying to decide on a few safer stories from a dozen or so short stories.

At the same time, I am also considering whether to add the role of Wesley’s first love.

Wesley’s first love, Zhu Xiangxiang.

This will add a little more emotional drama!
