This director lacks vision.

Chapter 146 You're actually a pretty good person.

On the afternoon of June 9th.

Laiyue Private Beauty Salon.

The four Teddy Sisters – Qin Lan, Huo Siyan, Li Xiaolu, and Gan Wei – had just finished a full set of beauty treatments and were sitting on a balcony drinking tea and chatting.

Gan Wei asked, "Lanlan, what's the situation with the matter I asked you to inquire about before? Why haven't we heard anything back?"

As the fifth sister, Gan Wei's tone was somewhat impolite.

But no one present said anything.

The main reason is that LeTV successfully went public last month, and its market value soared to 42 billion.

With Jia's shareholding exceeding 60%, her net worth has soared to 26 billion.

As Jia's wife, Gan Wei naturally rose in status and influence, and her influence was now vastly different from what it used to be.

Although some of the shares held by Accountant Jia were held on behalf of others, he must have powerful connections behind him, otherwise it would have been impossible to manipulate the accounts and list the company.

But Qin Lan and the others were unaware of these things.

On the surface, Gan Wei is already a wealthy woman with a net worth of over a billion.

If she speaks in a slightly harsh tone, no one will take it personally.

Qin Lan shook her head and said, "Jiang Yifeng said he's quite happy at Sohu and has no intention of switching jobs."

Jiang Yifeng's rebirth not only affected Youku Tudou, but also disrupted LeEco's development rhythm.

After its IPO, LeEco had the funds it needed and began to acquire copyrights on a large scale.

However, under Jiang Yifeng's impetus, Sohu Video had already acquired almost all the worthwhile copyrights.

Even the copyrights to novels and comics have been swept up by Jiang Yifeng's Fengxing Media.

There are really not many copyrights available for purchase on the market right now.

Accountant Jia needs to tell a story that will leave everyone breathless with his dream; he has to find other ways.

In addition to expanding LeSports, Jia Yueting also wanted to spend a lot of money to poach Jiang Yifeng from LeSports, so that he could help him generate buzz, tell stories, and make big money.

Hearing Qin Lan's words, Gan Wei frowned, then said somewhat pretentiously, "Then forget it. Old Jia said that if Jiang Yifeng doesn't agree, the company will go to Zhang Yimou."

It's a pity he didn't cherish such a good opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Huo Siyan immediately flattered, "LeEco's development speed is too fast. If they can sign Zhang Yimou, they might occupy half of the entertainment industry in the future."

Gan smiled smugly, but Li Xiaolu looked completely indifferent.

She said, "I wanted to buy some shares before, but I didn't succeed. Even though you have money, my sisters and I haven't benefited from it."

My eldest sister is the best; at least she got my second sister and me on the show "Sisters Who Make Waves".

The three of us sisters will definitely dominate the competition on Sisters Who Make Waves!

Before LeEco went public, no celebrities held shares in the company.

It wasn't until several years later, when they began to expand significantly, that they brought in a large number of celebrity shareholders.

Zhang Yimou, Sun Honglei, Guo Xiaosi, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chaosunli, Li Xiaolu, Jia Nailiang, Liu Tao, Qin Lan, Huo Siyan, all of them invested a lot of money.

The result, naturally, was a complete loss.

Zhang lost 80 million yuan, losing more than half of his savings, so he then frantically made bad movies to make money.
Liu Tao and her husband lost 60 million yuan and began the so-called "paying off her husband's debts" path.

In fact, she herself suffered a lot of losses from this debt.

The real opportunity to make money is to subscribe to pre-IPO shares, but Accountant Jia doesn't include you in that game.

It can only be said that if celebrities want to play the capital game, without the guidance of powerful figures, they are not much different from ordinary investors.

Hearing Li Xiaolu's compliment, Qin Lan smiled and said, "Jiang Yifeng said that the show 'Sisters Who Make Waves' is very competitive."

"Don't blame me if you get criticized on TV."

“Absolutely not!” Li Xiaolu said, “I know I’m not old enough. It’s already a big favor of yours that you made an exception for me.”

Li Xiaolu joined Sisters Who Make Waves not only to generate buzz, but also because of her hobby.

She loves singing and dancing shows. She was very engrossed in watching Produce 101 and really wanted to participate herself.

So they sought Qin Lan's help.

It was indeed Qin Lan who coordinated her and Huo Siyan's appearance on the show.

Huo Siyan said, "Jiang Yifeng updated his Weibo today, and the fourth sister is actually Kim Hee-sun. The internet buzz is already very high."

Even He Saifei's Weibo followers have exceeded 40.

Zhou Huimin only registered her Weibo account a few days ago, and she already has 110 million followers.

Li Xiaolu said, "Li Xiaoran has over a million fans! Damn it, I have a bear too. When it's officially announced that I'm here, I'm definitely going to choose the sexiest photo to show everyone my strength!"

Li Xiaolu has a wild side in the entertainment circle, and when she comes out with her rebellious girl vibe, she swears all the time.

Huo Siyan exclaimed, "Jiang Yifeng really knows how to generate buzz. He updates with a different sister every day, and everyone gets attention. Everyone's happy."

Moreover, this popularity has been building up day by day.

You mentioned that the 30th sister will be announced last, the grand finale. How popular will she be?

With all the attention it will receive, it's bound to become a huge hit after the official announcement.

Li Xiaolu glanced at Qin Lan and said with a smile, "The grand finale is definitely the eldest sister. Isn't the reason Director Jiang started this show, 'Sisters Who Make Waves,' to make the eldest sister a star?"

Hearing this, Qin Lan felt a little disappointed. She said, "I don't know the exact order, but I'm definitely not the last one."

"why?"

"I'm not qualified enough. If I rashly take on the final role, I'll be criticized."

Look, when Jiang Yifeng announced his first sister, it was He Saifei who came first.

He preferred to have less buzz to show respect for the older generation of professional actors, and did not announce Zhou Huimin's name right away.

This shows that he has a sense of justice.

Qin Lan repeated Jiang Yifeng's words of comfort to her to her sisters.

Huo Siyan and Li Xiaolu also believed it, and the two women surrounded Qin Lan, constantly talking about the topic of Sisters Who Make Waves.

Gan Wei was left out in the cold.

The sisters are all very pragmatic. Gan Wei's status has increased, but they haven't given her any benefits, and she's even been bossy and condescending.

But following Qin Lan at least means I can get on a TV show, get paid, and have some exposure. That's a real benefit.

Although Qin Lan didn't get the chance to appear at the end, she still felt quite comfortable receiving praise from her sisters.

Jiang Yifeng also promised to take care of her on the Sisters Who Make Waves show and help her become famous.

So Qin Lan was in a very good mood at this moment, thinking that after Yang Mi returned to Yanjing, the Yangqin duo would set off again to give Jiang Yifeng a surprise.

Meanwhile, in a luxury mansion in Shunyi District of Yanjing, Jiang Yifeng slowly took out a string of colorful beads.

The beads were already beautiful in color, but after being soaked in water, they became even more sparkly and gorgeous.

Liu Yifei breathed a deep sigh of relief and curled up in Jiang Yifeng's arms like a kitten.

"So, do you like the necklace I gave you?"

Liu Yifei nodded and said honestly, "I like it."

"I'm glad you like it. I specially learned the technique and it's all handmade."

Hearing this, Liu Yifei was surprised and asked with a burning gaze, "Really?"

"Of course it's true, I have no reason to lie to you."

"Thank you, this is the best gift I've ever received, I will always keep it with me."

Seeing Liu Yifei's slightly moved expression, Jiang Yifeng touched her cheek and asked, "How was your performance in A Chinese Ghost Story?"

Upon hearing this question, Liu Yifei paused for a moment before saying, "It's not very good. The filming felt rushed, not even as good as 'Love Announcement'."

The movie "Love Announcement" is almost finished showing in theaters, and its final box office was around 5000 million.

This movie has a terrible plot and poor reviews, but not many people are criticizing it.

On the one hand, the movie itself didn't generate much buzz, and even its badness was understated.

On the other hand, those who go to the cinema are either fans of Wang Lihong or Liu Yifei, or young couples.

The background music for "Love Announcement" is indeed quite good, and the male and female leads are also good-looking. It would be perfectly reasonable for young couples to watch this romantic movie on Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day) and then connect with each other.

At least it won't be like going to the cinema to watch a feminist film in the future, only to break up afterward.

However, Liu Yifei was not very satisfied with the dating announcement.

After all, by 2010, Chinese films had entered a money-making era; even a film like "Go Lala Go!" starring Xu Jinglei could gross over 100 million yuan at the box office.

A box office of 5000 million is barely breaking even, not exactly a big profit.

It generated even less buzz.

This is not a good thing for Liu Yifei.

Her career had been on the rise until the romantic press release, which was her first film after her comeback, caused her career to decline.

Now that filming for "A Chinese Ghost Story" has wrapped up, Liu Yifei, as the female lead, has also felt the sloppy work of the production team.

Liu Yifei feels that her career trajectory may continue to decline.

Jiang Yifeng joked, "It's okay, after you make a few more movies, you can come on Sisters Who Make Waves."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Jiang Yifeng and said with a smile, "I want to go now, are you going to let me go?"

“Not now. The main character this season is Auntie, not you,” Jiang Yifeng said. “I made sure Auntie was the last to make an official announcement for you.”

As the thirtieth sister, her official announcement was sure to attract a lot of attention, and she immediately became the focus of the show and its leader.

"See? I've been good to you, haven't I? Don't tell me our relationship is just a game of cat and mouse."

Liu Yifei chuckled and teased, "Well, you're a pretty good person."

Using me and my mom to generate buzz, and then making it sound so righteous—I'm truly impressed.

Jiang Yifeng laughed and said, "Just you wait, it won't be long before Auntie becomes more famous than you."

When she attends commercial events, her fee will be higher than yours, and then you'll be jealous.

"That's great. I'll take a break then and become my mom's agent, so I won't have to dress you up as an Avatar and get teased by netizens."

"It's not impossible. If we don't have your avatar, Auntie's avatar will do."

Liu Yifei: "..."

"Don't be angry, I was just joking."

Please have your aunt prepare a little; the program will begin recording on September 24th.

We will introduce a group system and an agent system.

Each group of sisters will have an agent to help them complete the program better. Later, there will be transactions, and agents can switch sisters from other groups to form a better team.

If you're interested, you could really become your mother's agent.

Liu Yifei was somewhat tempted, but added, "I'm not very good at speaking, and I'm afraid I won't do a good job on the show."

"It's okay, there's a script. Don't you want to see Auntie fighting with another woman up close? You have to be there to enjoy the show!"
Besides, if you don't perform well, we'll cut it out.

Liu Yifei was completely smitten. She wanted to watch the drama unfold, especially her mother's comeback.

So he asked, "Will it really be cut off?"

"More real than gold."

"Okay, I'll give it a try."

"OK, but there's still a small problem."

Upon hearing this, Liu Yifei misunderstood and said directly, "Alright, I understand. Your program doesn't have enough funding, so let me appear for free."

"I'm worthless anyway, so free is fine."

Jiang Yifeng smiled and said, "Our program has sponsors, so we have plenty of funding."

You can attract even more sponsorships after you join.

Are you sure you don't want money?

Liu Yifei reacted quickly, immediately mimicking a kitten, meowing and jokingly saying, "Please, Master, give me some cat food~"

Jiang Yifeng misunderstood.

"No problem, catch the kitten."
