Transmigrated into the body of a tycoon's son's ex-boyfriend

Chapter 32: An Additional Investment of 1 Million

Lu Yu got in touch with Dong Yancheng and is going to become an actress.

She won't need to rely on Song Xijin anymore; she can live a good life on her own.

That's why Lu Yu left so decisively.

I blocked him, and when I see him, I no longer try to please him, calling him "Mr. Song" at every turn, as if I want to sever all ties with him.

Lu Yu wants to get away?

Think beautiful!

Is Song Xijin the kind of person who can sleep with anyone he wants?

He ran away after sleeping with her once, and he ran away after sleeping with her twice. Every time, Lu Yu would pull up his pants and leave.

When has Young Master Song ever been treated like this?

If word gets out, will he still be able to work in this industry?

"I understand." Song Xijin turned her gaze away from Tan Yao's face, her tone indifferent: "I'll treat you to drinks another day."

"Alright." Tan Yao stood up, patted his pants, and glanced back as he walked to the door.

Song Xijin stared at the document on the table. That page had been there since he came in, and he still hadn't turned it.

He chuckled silently: "Then I'll definitely drink my fill. I'm heading back now; I have a dinner appointment with my sister."

After leaving the office, Tan Yao took out his phone in the hallway and sent a message to Dong Yancheng:

"Is the budget sufficient for the web series your company is about to film?"

Dong Yancheng replied instantly: "That's enough. Ye Mingqi invested ten million just to get a male lead in the role. What's wrong with that?"

Tan Yao: "It's okay, someone might be going to send you money."

Dong Yancheng: "???"

Tan Yao didn't reply. He put his phone in his pocket, whistling as he entered the elevator.

In the office, Song Xijin picked up her phone, hesitated for a moment, and finally opened her contacts.

He tapped a name he had almost never contacted and dialed it.

The phone was answered after only two rings. The voice on the other end was both surprised and warm, with barely concealed flattery: "Brother Song, why are you calling me?"

"Dong Yancheng," Song Xijin leaned back in his chair, his tone as if giving instructions to a subordinate, "Is your company currently filming a movie?"

Dong Yancheng was taken aback.

His relationship with Song Xijin is somewhat complicated.

He had a good relationship with Tan Yao, and through Tan Yao, he got to know Song Xijin.

But in terms of friendship, he and Song Xijin were separated by Tan Yao, so at best they were just friends of brothers.

We sometimes bump into each other at drinking parties and chat for a bit.

This was the first time Song Xijin had taken the initiative to call him.

The Song family was different from ordinary wealthy families.

The Song family is at the very top, with the Song Group's business spanning three major sectors: real estate, finance, and energy.

The wealth that Song Xijin possesses is a figure that Dong Yancheng wouldn't even dare to dream of.

The annual revenue of his film and television company is probably enough to cover the profit of any one of the Song family's subsidiaries for one quarter.

Therefore, Dong Yancheng was very clear about the significance of this phone call.

"There is a fantasy drama that is about to start filming, called 'With Immortals'."

Dong Yancheng's voice carried a hint of caution: "What, Brother Song, do you have someone you want to arrange? Just let me know, and they'll be sent over directly."

Although the main roles had already been decided, he asked the screenwriter to write a character on the spot.

Song Xijin didn't respond to that question, but simply said, "I'll invest 100 million in you. Make a good film."

Dong Yancheng didn't react for a moment.

One hundred million?

Although the drama "With Immortals" is a fantasy drama and looks quite grand, its investment was actually not that large.

His original budget was only tens of millions, and the actors he found were popular young actors who came from talent shows and relatively inexpensive 18th-tier actors.

The special effects team was a small studio we had worked with before, and the script was adapted from a moderately popular online novel.

He knew that if a web series of this scale were produced, the costumes, props, and special effects would definitely be criticized by netizens.

But being black and red is still being red, as long as it makes money.

Now Song Xijin wants to invest 100 million yuan in him.

That's a hundred million, not ten million!

With this investment, the production quality of "With Immortals" can be raised several levels.

With a better special effects team and better costumes and props, the budget for post-production marketing can be multiplied several times.

But why would Song Xijin invest money in him?

Dong Yancheng's brain was working at lightning speed.

He just spoke with Tan Yao on the phone this morning and told him about the Lu Yu he had investigated on the set.

Then just now, Tan Yao sent him those ambiguous messages again.

Not long after, Song Xijin called.

If there's nothing between these two, Dong Yancheng would write his name backwards.

He tentatively asked, "Brother Song, is your investment related to that new actor named Lu Yu?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

Song Xijin neither admitted nor denied it, but simply said, "I will have the finance department transfer the funds to your account tomorrow, and then I will send someone to your place to sign the contract."

"I'm hanging up now."

After saying that, he hung up the phone immediately.

Dong Yancheng stared blankly for a long while as he listened to the busy tone coming from his phone.

He took the phone away from his ear, looked at the words "Call Ended" on the screen, and slowly grinned.

What's there to not understand?

It's all because of that Lu Yu.

An investment of 100 million was decided with just one phone call, without even discussing the contract terms. The contract signing was even done by just sending someone randomly at the last minute.

It's like this 100 million is about the same as 100 yuan to Song Xijin.

But Young Master Song didn't say he would give Lu Yu any special treatment.

They neither requested more screen time for Lu Yu nor asked for a better role for him.

He casually invested 100 million yuan to ensure the production team could film properly.

Dong Yancheng pondered for a long time and finally grasped some of the meaning.

Since Song Xijin invested money in Lu Yu's production team for "With Immortals," it's as if Song Xijin now owns shares in Lu Yu's production team.

Although this person was not by Lu Yu's side, he used this method to bring Lu Yu into his sphere of influence.

Then, recalling the meaningful tone in Tan Yao's words just now.

Dong Yancheng shook his head; he didn't quite understand what these two were up to.

But one thing is certain.

With an additional investment of 100 million, the production quality of "With Immortals" can take off immediately.

He picked up his phone and sent a message to the production team: "Notify all departments to hold a meeting tomorrow to upgrade the budget across the board."

Half a month later, filming for "With Immortals" officially began.

The opening ceremony was held in the film set of the film studio, and the venue was temporarily set up by the film crew.

An offering table was set up on the platform, with a statue of Guan Yu on it.

Flower baskets lined both sides of the stage, stretching from the front to the edge of the venue, with fans and media crowding both sides to attend the ceremony.

Lu Yu emerged from the dressing room in his costume, followed by A-Ken, who carried a comb and a bottle of hairspray, whispering instructions:

"Lu Yu, don't touch your hair when you get on stage. I spent a long time styling it."

"Got it." Lu Yu smiled; he had that much professional knowledge.

There are specific rules regarding the actors' positioning during the opening ceremony.

The center position is naturally occupied by the male and female leads, followed by the second male and female leads, and then the important supporting characters.

Lu Yu glanced at the process sheet in her hand.

He plays the villainous master, and in terms of screen time, he should be ranked as the third or fourth male lead, so standing in the second row would be more appropriate.

When they arrived at the venue, Dong Yancheng personally came over to arrange a seat for him.

Mr. Dong was wearing a bright blue suit jacket today, and he looked very energetic.

With a hundred million in hand, how could one not be in high spirits?
