Chinese entertainment starts with Hong Shixian

Chapter 471 Jing Tian: Anti-Yang Mi Weapon, Anti-Yang Mi Treasure!

Yang Mi was slightly taken aback when Qi Hui got straight to the point.

But he quickly adapted and decided to get straight to the point: "I heard that your film 'The Vanished Woman' is about to start filming. Can I invest in it?"

She didn't ask if investment was needed. Yang Mi hadn't seen the script, but she knew the relevant information.

Suspense, this genre means less investment.

Let alone investment, with Qi Hui's current size, he could easily operate as a sole proprietor.
He's done this kind of thing before; Qi Hui in "Love is Not Blind" was the sole proprietor.

Qi Hui used this film to show everyone his success; from then on, Qi Hui's films never lacked investors.
Everyone was eager to have him mentor them, but unfortunately... most of his investment was used to repay favors.
He either contacted Huayi or Wang Jinghua, but he handled everything internally.
They don't need to humbly seek investment like other filmmakers.

Even the Noon Sunshine team didn't have time to react.
"Ahem... Mr. Yang, why would you be interested in my mere suspense film?" Qi Hui coughed lightly.

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, the refusal was quite clear.

As mentioned before, "The Vanished" is a suspense film, without any grand scenes, and it's not even a 3D movie.
Aside from some underwater scenes and some underwater special effects, there weren't any shots that cost a lot of money.
In total, the required funds are only 6 million.
It may seem similar to Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior," but they are actually quite different.

Wu Jing received strong support from the military during the filming of "Wolf Warrior," with helicopters, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and light and heavy machine guns all provided free of charge.
This kind of support cannot be bought with money; even if others wanted it, they might not be able to secure it.

Compared to other movies, the large-scale scenes in "Wolf Warrior" actually didn't cost that much money.
Without the support of the military, it would have cost an unimaginable amount of money to accomplish any of this... oh, it wouldn't have been possible.
Without the support of the military, there would be no "Wolf Warrior".

Therefore, "Wolf Warrior" has its own unique characteristics, and its financial aspects cannot be used as a reference.

Upon hearing Qi Hui's refusal, Yang Mi thought to herself, "Just as I expected," and then her eyes reddened as she said sadly, "..."
"Qi Hui, I know this is difficult for you, but I have no choice. I signed a betting agreement with someone, and if I lose, I'll have no choice but to become a female model..."

"You wouldn't want to see me like that, would you?"

Xiao Yang was still there, and Yang Mi was hesitant, so she only played the victim and didn't take things any further.

"..." Qi Hui leaned back, instinctively wanting to blurt out that it had nothing to do with him.
But after thinking about it, I realized that saying it like that would be too hurtful and too inhumane.

The entertainment industry isn't about fighting and killing; it's about interpersonal relationships and social dynamics.
If he doesn't even help his college classmates, it won't sound good if word gets out.
If Lao Wang finds out, he might suspect there's some serious conflict between the two of them, and then try to mediate or something.
Just thinking about it gives me a headache.

But... never mind, I'll give her a chance.

"Alright, if Jing Tian agrees, I agree!" Qi Hui's eyes darted around, and he pulled out his phone, saying:

"You talk to her!"

Opportunities don't come for free; there are conditions!
"Uh..." Yang Mi paused, wondering what this had to do with Jing Tian.

You're not a gigolo, and Jing Tian isn't solely focused on film and television!
Before the thought had even faded, Qi Hui had already handed the phone to Yang Mi.

[Jing Tian: Anti-Yang Mi weapon, anti-Yang Mi treasure!]

Let heroes investigate heroes, let good men investigate good men, and let women deal with women!

Even without Qi Huiming saying it, Jing Tian should have known what to do the moment she received the call.

He immediately tapped his finger and dialed Jing Tian's number.

Yang Mi took it, her eyes darting around nervously. In her nervousness, she overlooked one thing:

He was holding Qi Hui's phone!

This was actually a little scheme by Qi Hui to trick Boss Yang.
If Yang Mi calls using her own phone, Jing Tian will be more rational.
But when Yang Mi's voice came through Qi Hui's phone, Jing Tian wasn't so easy to talk to!
He, Qi, did give Yang Mi a chance, but he still had some bias. "Hello? Darling?" Jing Tian's sweet voice rang out, instantly lifting one's spirits.

Jing Tian is like that; just hearing her voice makes you happy.

Yang Mi's heart skipped a beat, her scalp tingled, and she inwardly cried out in alarm.
But since things have come to this, we have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.
"Cough... Jing Tian, ​​it's me, Yang Mi..." Yang Mi said, her voice trembling.
"Hmm?" Jing Tian's tone suddenly changed on the other end of the phone.

Although they couldn't see her face, Qi Hui and Xiao Yang could both imagine Jing Tian's changing expressions.

"It's like this, Qi Hui asked me to call you..." Yang Mi stood up and walked out of the reception room.
Women shouldn't talk like that in front of Qi Hui.
Watching Yang Mi leave, Qi Hui smacked his lips, secretly regretting that he had actually wanted to hear more.
"Boss, you're really ruthless..." Xiao Yang said from the side.

"Cough cough...Nonsense!" Qi Hui firmly denied it:
"I didn't mean to, it was an accident!"

Is he that kind of bad person?
It can't be!

Xiao Yang glanced at Qi Hui and said, "Guess whether I believe you or not?"

About twenty minutes
Outside the reception room, the clatter of high heels approached from afar, first light and quick, then slowing down and becoming steady and powerful.
Qi Hui raised an eyebrow, surprised. How could Yang Mi have changed so much?
Before the thought had even subsided, Yang Mi returned, handing Qi Hui his phone back and smiling:

"Jing Tian agreed."

"Oh...oh?" Qi Hui was startled and quite surprised.
Yang Mi seemed to enjoy Qi Hui's expression.
“In that case, Ms. Yang, let’s talk about the investment!” Qi Hui quickly composed himself, his expression turning serious, and gestured for her to sit down.

Yang Mi smiled subtly and nodded gently.
She was finally being treated as an opponent by Qi Hui, and it felt great; she liked it!
"The film 'The Vanished She' requires 6 million in funding," Qi Hui said solemnly. He was a man of his word, and he wasn't one to back down from a bet.

"We're all set to contribute 30 million, Huayi, President Wang Jinghua, and you will each contribute 10 million. Is that alright?"

"Uh...no, no problem!" Yang Mi hesitated for a moment, then quickly replied.
There is actually a problem!

Jiaxing is a small company; she and two other partners invested a total of 300 million yuan to establish it.
The performance-based agreement was signed later in order to secure funding.
Although cash flow has increased, taking out ten million at once is still a significant financial strain for Jiaxing.
They should agree to invest in Qi Hui's film. If that doesn't work, we can find Shangshi and invest together... Yang Mi's mind raced. There are difficulties, but they can be resolved!
Shangshi Pictures is the company that signed a performance-based agreement with Jiaxing Media. If they fail to meet the target, Yang Mi will be taken over by Shangshi!

"Okay, then three days later... no, the day after tomorrow, let's sign the contract here, okay?" Qi Hui said with a smile.
"The other two investors will also be there then."

"No problem!" Yang Mi readily agreed, deciding to call a meeting as soon as she got back.

"Then it's settled." Qi Hui smiled and said, "I wish us a pleasant cooperation."

"It's a pleasure doing business with you," Yang Mi said with a smile.

The two shook hands, and an agreement was reached.

"I'll see you off," Qi Hui said with a smile, and together with Xiao Yang, they escorted Yang Mi downstairs.
Appropriate etiquette should still be observed when dealing with partners.
Yang Mi was very satisfied with this.
This guy is finally not the bastard he used to be!
"Please don't bother seeing me off," Yang Mi said with a smile, waving her hand before turning and leaving with light steps.
Watching Yang Mi leave, Qi Hui quickly dialed Jing Tian's number:
"Tian Tian, ​​why did you agree?"

"This..." Jing Tian was also a little embarrassed. Of course, she knew what Qi Hui wanted to do by pushing Yang Mi to her.

This wasn't the first time she'd done something like this.

She had done it a few times when she first met Qi Hui, and it became a routine for her; practice makes perfect.

But... Yang Mi tearfully recounted her current situation.
My husband is useless, I have no connections or strength, and I have a baby at home who's still breastfeeding...

Hearing this, Jing Tian's previously hardened heart softened, and she agreed.
Qi Hui: “…”

This girl is too kind.

She is beautiful inside and out, and there is no one more perfect than her!
