They surrounded me right after the breakup.

The atmosphere in the private room really heated up after the third round of toasts.

Yang Mi held her wine glass, her body slightly turned towards Jiang Han.

The neckline of the black dress swayed gently with her movements.

Her smile was refined and practiced.

That's the kind of experience you develop over many years in the entertainment industry.

It's neither too enthusiastic nor too cold.

"President Jiang, to be honest, Xingyue's momentum has been too strong in the past two years."

"After Nezha comes The Wandering Earth."

"People in the industry say that Xingyue is making big moves now and has a good eye for business."

Yang Mi put down her wine glass.

"We have several TV dramas currently being produced and packaged here in Jiaxing."

"I'd like to see if I can hitch a ride with Xingyue."

"Dilraba just finished filming an art film, and the director praised her for her breakthrough acting skills."

"Xu Dan's suspense drama will be released early next year, and the character is very likable."

"If we could use Xingyue's resources to give them more exposure on the big screen."

"That would be perfect."

When Reba was called on, she quickly picked up her wine glass, stood up, and bowed to Jiang Han.

Her voice was soft and sweet, yet carried the nervousness typical of a newcomer.

"President Jiang, let me toast you."

"Nice to meet you, please take care of me."

She tilted her head back and finished drinking, her ears turning slightly red. As she sat down, she secretly glanced at Yang Mi.

It's like he's checking to make sure he hasn't said anything wrong.

Jiang Han raised his glass in a gesture of respect and then drank the wine in it in one gulp.

He finally understood why female celebrities liked to wear low-cut dresses and often had to cover their chests.

Because I haven't met the right person.

Look at them now, why aren't they covering themselves up anymore?

Zhu Xudan raised his glass for the last time, still with a very faint smile.

He stood up and simply said, "Thank you, President Jiang."

After finishing his drink, he quietly sat back down.

The entire process takes no more than ten seconds.

Yang Mi glanced at Zhu Xudan, then turned to Jiang Han and smiled.

"That's just how Xu Dan is; he doesn't talk much, but he's a great actor."

"A good performance is more important than anything else."

Jiang Han turned his gaze away from Zhu Xudan.

The girl sat next to Reba and barely uttered a sound the entire time.

She doesn't follow suit when others offer her a toast, and she doesn't join in when others make jokes.

Enjoy your tea in peace and quiet.

"Mr. Jiang, there's actually something else I'd like to discuss with you in person today."

"Jiaxing plans to produce an S+ level historical drama next year."

"The investment is approximately 200 million yuan."

"The script is adapted from the novel of the same name, which has a large fan base."

"I'd like to see if Xingyue would be interested in co-producing something."

Jiang Han put down his chopsticks: "The market for period dramas has become saturated in the last two years, and audiences are experiencing aesthetic fatigue."

"What is Mr. Yang's vision for this drama?"

"Differentiation, not following the traditional Xianxia route."

Yang Mi leaned closer, moving even closer.

"The script leans towards political intrigue and features an ensemble cast of women."

"Several main characters are told from a female perspective."

"The romance aspect is very minor; the core conflict is a power struggle."

"This type of product has never become a blockbuster in the market."

"But precisely because there are no blockbuster products, no one has ever touched the ceiling."

How confident are you in the script?

"The original author personally oversaw the writing, and the scriptwriting team went through several rounds of revisions."

Yang Mi took a stack of bound script outlines from her assistant.

He handed it over with both hands.

"This is the episode outline for the first three episodes."

"Mr. Jiang, you can take a look first, if you're interested."

"Afterwards, I had someone send the complete script to Xingyue."

Jiang Han opened the outline and scanned a few pages.

The writing style is somewhat detached, and the dialogue is concise.

It is indeed different from those ancient costume dramas on the market that are full of industrial saccharin.

He closed the outline and placed it on the table.

"The idea is good, but the production cost of an S+ level historical drama is not low."

"Costumes, props, sets, and post-production special effects."

"Every single one of them is a money pit."

"Do you have any preconceived notions about the art style?"

"Yes, it was based on the clothing system during the transition from the Tang to the Song dynasties."

Yang Mi's tone was more serious than when she was discussing ordinary projects.

"The costume team was hired from teachers who work on film production teams."

"As for the location, if we can use the studio at Xingyue Film City, that would be ideal."

"Both the construction period and costs can be reduced."

"Mr. Yang has even thought of the venue."

"We can't come empty-handed when discussing cooperation with President Jiang."

She smiled openly, deliberately covering her lips.

Her other little hand had somehow landed on Jiang Han's shoulder.

When it comes to manipulating men, Yang Mi is a pro.

However, after spending time with her group of girlfriends, Jiang Han's threshold was raised to a very high level.

Female celebrities in the entertainment industry are best left unsaid.

I'll just play around with it.

If you're really going to be so foolish as to marry her, you'll be crying.

Jiang Han smiled slightly: "The venue can be coordinated, but the specific schedule will depend on the project's progress."

"There's one more thing."

Yang Mi put down her wine glass and changed the subject.

"Our company has several dramas being filmed simultaneously in Shanghai next year."

"Dilraba and Xu Dan's film crews are all over there."

"If the supporting facilities of Xingyue Film and Television City could be connected in advance."

"The schedule will be more flexible."

"I'll have someone coordinate the schedule in advance."

"What genre is Dilraba's art film?"

"A realistic story about a young female doctor."

Reba was picking up food when she heard her name called, and her chopsticks stopped in mid-air.

"The script is based on true events."

"The female lead is an emergency room doctor who volunteered to go to the front line."

"Most of the scenes take place in hospitals and communities, and the emotions are quite intense."

"I interned in the emergency room for quite a while for this role."

"I've learned quite a few first aid techniques."

"Who wrote the script?" Jiang Han asked.

"The screenwriter is the original author himself, and also a participant in the events firsthand."

Dilraba's voice was soft and sweet: "Many details can only be written by people who have experienced them firsthand."

Yang Mi chimed in, "This film doesn't have a large budget, but we value it highly."

"I'd like to nominate myself for Best Actress at next year's Golden Eagle Awards."

"Therefore, the requirements for the production team and the broadcasting platform are relatively high."

"If we can cooperate with Xingyue, we can have more guarantees in terms of broadcast channels."

"The broadcasting platform can be coordinated."

Jiang Han nodded: "If this type of product can be done well, its social impact will far exceed its commercial value."

Yang Mi raised her glass: "I'm relieved to hear President Jiang say that."

Huang Ying suddenly interjected from the side.

"President Jiang, I also want to make movies."

"Focus on making the web series well first. It's not like you don't have a chance to make that suspense film you made last time."

Yang Mi answered the request on Jiang Han's behalf.

Huang Ying pouted and said "Oh".

"The way General Manager Yang trains newcomers is very similar to how Chan Ka-ying trained Cheung Tin-kuen back in the day."

"Hone your acting skills in web series first, then move on to the big screen."

"However, Huang Ying is much more lively than Empress Zhang back then."

"If she really has the destiny of Empress Zhang, I'll kowtow to her right now."

Huang Ying took a sip of coconut juice and almost choked.

He coughed several times, covering his mouth.

"Mr. Yang, you're exaggerating."

"How can I motivate you without exaggeration?"

As dinner progressed into its later stages, the atmosphere in the private room became more relaxed.

The agent began discussing contract details with Xia Yutong.

Dilraba and Huang Ying huddled together to discuss the dishes.

Occasionally, he would let out a low chuckle.

Yang Mi's gaze fell on Xia Yutong.

He took in the subtle distance between the two people.
