Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

"However, we need to sign a contract to protect our rights. Also, let's not rush into the investment; I'll go and inquire about it first."

Xu Shaoyang cautiously said that he still felt that investing in movies was unreliable.

"Okay, it's good to find out. I'll have Le Ran take me to see the director tomorrow."

Xu Shaoyang wanted to meet the director in a couple of days, but seeing Xia Yichu's anxious expression, he ultimately didn't object.

"Yes, you must be meticulous when signing contracts."

Zheng Leran took this matter very seriously and felt a lot of pressure, as she couldn't let Xia Yichu lose everything.

Otherwise, he would feel very guilty. Zheng Leran also wanted to advise Xia Yichu not to invest so much money. Because he himself was not confident, although he had read the script and the story was good.

But market conditions are unpredictable and unpredictable. Seeing that even Xu Shaoyang couldn't persuade Xia Yichu, he didn't dare to try to persuade her again.

Xia Yichu nodded in satisfaction, "Then I'll trouble you. Don't forget to follow up on Wang Shu's special training. Tell her I invested money in it, and tell her to do her best for me."

Zheng Leran patted her chest and assured him, "Don't worry, I know what to do."

"Forget it, let's not talk about the investment. Don't put too much pressure on her. Also, don't worry, even if we lose money, it's okay. Consider it a learning experience."

Zheng Leran looked pained; that was a million! He didn't know if he could ever earn that much in his lifetime.

Seeing their long faces, Xia Yichu comforted them, saying, "Think about it, what if my investment makes the film even better?"

That's a good start for Wang Shu, and her acting career will be even smoother from now on. Let's support Wang Shu and give ourselves a chance too.

Zheng Leran was very touched. After all, Xia Yichu's decision to invest in the film was still because of the company and Xiao Wangshu.

"I don't seek to make a fortune, I just hope I don't lose everything."

Xu Shaoyang said worriedly, but Xia Yichu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Just wait and see. Not only will they not lose everything, they will make a fortune."

"Le Ran, is that director a decent person?" Xu Shaoyang asked, still worried.

"No problem, I've known him for several years. He has a good reputation in the industry. Although his previous works were only moderately well-received, he was very kind to the actors and staff, and I've never heard of him having any problems."

Perhaps it's just bad luck that his works haven't been well-received by the public.

"That's good. After all, we need to cooperate with him, and only if his character is reliable can the partnership last."

Xia Yichu wasn't worried about this. In her previous life, this director hadn't caused any trouble, so she figured there shouldn't be any major problems.

Once this movie becomes a hit, a ton of people will want to invest in it. Actors will be vying to act in its productions, even for supporting roles.

Xia Yichu is seizing the initiative; later, directors will remember her kindness. If artists from her company want to act in her films, it'll be a piece of cake.

Xu Shaoyang was still a little worried. "Although the reputation is good, we can't let our guard down. Let's observe them carefully when we meet tomorrow."

"Okay, let's go together tomorrow. By the way, Leran, could you help me schedule a time with the director and see if he's free at 2 PM tomorrow?"

We'll go and discuss the investment with him to see how much funding is needed and what the requirements are.

"Okay, he'll definitely be free tomorrow afternoon. Just go to the film set and find him there; I'll be waiting for you."

The director is desperately seeking investment due to a lack of funds and is currently cutting costs.

A couple of days ago, I heard from Zheng Leran that Xia Yichu wanted to invest in his movie, and the director couldn't wait to drag Zheng Leran to Xia Yichu.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

Xia Yichu smiled, as if she could already see the film's success and Xiao Wangshu's shining performance in the entertainment industry, winning the title of Best Actress.

"It's not hard work, I'll go get back to work now."

Zheng Leran felt more fulfilled than ever before in his life these past few days; he had finally taken the first step towards realizing his dream. He left the director's address before departing, completely satisfied.

"Yichu, are you really sure you want to invest that much money?"

"Xu Shaoyang, I've noticed you've become indecisive. If you don't want to invest, I can put up a million myself."

Xia Yichu found Xu Shaoyang too talkative. If it weren't for Xu Shaoyang's righteous nature, and his willingness to split the profits with Xia Yichu 50/50 over the years, Xia Yichu wouldn't have asked anyone else to invest.

"Yichu, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that you might not understand this industry. The cost of an ordinary film is only a few hundred thousand to a million yuan. A film costing more than a million yuan is considered to be at a medium level."

Judging from Zheng Leran's words, that director probably doesn't have any outstanding works and probably hasn't made many films.

He probably won't make a film with such a high budget, so what I mean is we can invest a little less; it doesn't have to be a million.

When Zheng Leran mentioned wanting to invest in an entertainment company with Xu Shaoyang, Xu Shaoyang wasn't completely indifferent; he did look into the details of entertainment companies.

He inquired about a lot of things, including the actors' filming and directing, the process and cost of producing a movie or television series.

"Shaoyang, we'll decide on the investment amount after we meet with the director tomorrow and get a better understanding of the situation."

After listening to Xu Shaoyang's words, Xia Yichu understood his concerns. However, Xia Yichu wanted to invest more; the more money she invested, the more money she would make if the movie became a hit.

"Okay, whatever you say."

Seeing Xia Yichu's strong reaction, Xu Shaoyang dared not say anything more.

"Shaoyang, don't worry. Although this director's previous works have not been well received, he said that he may not necessarily be talented, but just lacks funding and opportunities."

Our investment may be an opportunity for him, and also for us.

It's not easy for Xiao Wangshu to get a leading role in a film. If this movie becomes a hit, it will be a huge benefit for her and our company. It's a win-win situation, so why not? Don't you think so?

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

"Don't worry! Once the movie is released, we'll definitely make a fortune, and Wang Shu will become an overnight sensation because of it."

Seeing Xia Yichu's confidence, Xu Shaoyang couldn't bear to dampen her spirits.

Investing in movies may seem like all you need to do is put money in, but an investor's vision and luck are both indispensable, and making money is much harder than starting an entertainment company.

Many business owners in Hong Kong have lost everything investing in movies and television, with large investments and the risk of bankruptcy.

"Okay, whatever makes you happy, I have no objection."

Xu Shaoyang had come to terms with it; he could earn the money later. As long as Xia Yichu was happy, what was a mere million?
