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

Xu Shaoyang drove for almost an hour to bring Xia Yichu to a relatively remote place, which was also his first time here.

After parking the car, they asked someone for the director's location before taking Xia Yichu there.

The two followed the directions to the filming location, where they found it bustling with activity. Staff members were coming and going, and actors were preparing on the sidelines.

Xu Shaoyang led Xia Yichu to the director and politely said, "Hello, director. We are Wu Yue's friends. My name is Xu Shaoyang."

"Ah Yue mentioned to me that you are the boss who wants to invest in my movie, so you should come with me."

The director put down his work and invited Xu Shaoyang and the others inside to talk.

"it is good"

Xu Shaoyang responded and he and Xia Yichu followed the director.

"Come on, make yourself at home."

The director took them to a room that was very simple, with only a few plastic chairs and a table.

"Thanks"

Xu Shaoyang thanked her, handed Xia Yichu a chair for her to sit on, and then found a chair for himself to sit down.

"My movie is almost finished filming, and I have enough funding, so I don't need to invest any more. How about this: we can find an opportunity to collaborate on our next movie, what do you think?"

Since Wu Yue introduced him, the director should at least give him some face. Besides, someone was offering him investment money, so he had no reason to turn them away.

"Okay, we'll do as the director says. Director, could you please tell us more about the investment details?"

Whether or not to invest now is not important. Xu Shaoyang wanted to come here to understand the situation so that he wouldn't be completely clueless when he went to talk to Wang Qiushui about cooperation later.

"no problem"

The director cleared his throat and began to explain: "Our investment is mainly divided into several levels, and different levels enjoy different rights and benefits."

The basic investment level has a relatively low amount, but it allows you to receive a certain percentage of the film's profits and also gives you the opportunity to have priority in purchasing some peripheral products.

If the investment amount is higher, in addition to the increase in the profit-sharing ratio, you can also participate in some of the film's decision-making processes, such as the initial selection of actors.

If the investment reaches the highest level, one can be listed as a co-producer in the film and have considerable say.

Xu Shaoyang listened and nodded, pondering in his mind. Xia Yichu also listened attentively, never expecting that there were so many intricacies involved in investing, with different levels of expertise.

The director continued, "I already have a preliminary script for my next film. It's an action-romance film with great market potential."

If you're interested in investing, I'll send the script to you as soon as it's finalized.

Xu Shaoyang smiled and said, "Okay, then I look forward to the director's good news. I hope we will have the opportunity to work together."

After saying that, they chatted with the director for a few more minutes before getting up to say goodbye.

The moment the director stood up, he looked Xia Yichu up and down. He had been talking to Xu Shaoyang and hadn't paid much attention to Xia Yichu, but now he could see her clearly.

"This young lady has a good image. If she wants to act and there's a suitable role, I can give her a chance."

The director thought that Xu Shaoyang invested in the film to promote Xia Yichu, and that he would give Xia Yichu a chance because she was beautiful and talented.

He has extremely high standards for actors; he will carefully select even the most minor roles.

"Thank you for the opportunity, director. I'm sorry, I don't act, I only do business. However, we've recently started an entertainment company with some good artists. We might consider collaborating if the opportunity arises."

Xia Yichu didn't want to be an actress; being an actress meant having no privacy. Her life would be constantly photographed by paparazzi and under public scrutiny.

Besides, she was reborn to let things fall apart. Once the company is back on track, she'll hand it over to Xu Shaoyang and Zheng Leran to manage, and she'll just be responsible for distributing the profits each month.

"Okay, here's my business card. If you ever want to act, you can come and find me."

The director felt it was a pity to hear that Xia Yichu didn't want to act. Xia Yichu has an outstanding appearance, and with the company's help in grooming her, plus a bit of luck and some acting skills, he believed she would become famous sooner or later.

"it is good"

Xia Yichu politely accepted the business card, but unfortunately, their company's business cards hadn't been made yet. Otherwise, she could have given the director a business card right now.

"Director, this is my business card. Let's keep in touch later."

Xu Shaoyang took out his business card from his pocket and handed it to the director. The director took the card, glanced at it, and then put it away.

"Okay, I'll contact you once I've finalized the script."

Xu Shaoyang and Xia Yichu got up, said goodbye to the director, and walked out. The two got into the car, preparing to have lunch before meeting Zheng Leran and the others.

"Xu Shaoyang, you have quite a few friends. Our company's business will depend on you from now on."

Xia Yichu joked, which was also her plan. Xu Shaoyang was eloquent and had many friends. She knew that many women liked Xu Shaoyang in her past life, and it would definitely be the same in this life.

If she could remain business partners with Xu Shaoyang, their future business would be smooth sailing. As for being Xu Shaoyang's girlfriend or wife, forget it; she wasn't worthy of that.

Most importantly, she didn't like Xu Shaoyang. Pei Shizhou was much better; he wasn't very nice to women and wouldn't attract so many suitors.

"We met at the nightclub. Sister Wu Yue is also in business; she's a nice person. She's married. I don't have anything to do with her."

Xu Shaoyang quickly explained, afraid that Xia Yichu would misunderstand their relationship.

"Xu Shaoyang, you don't need to explain to me, I'm serious. I haven't been in Gangcheng for long, and apart from investing money, I can't help the company much."

Zheng Leran has a good eye; we can let him handle the signing of artists from now on.

In their past life, the two of them worked together in this way to make the company bigger and stronger.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll definitely take the company's affairs to heart. By the way, Yichu, what do you think of this director? I feel he's quite reliable."

Sister Wu Yue said that as long as he approves of a script, no one will refuse to invest; everyone is eager to invest in this director's productions.

"Let's invest in this movie directed by Wang Qiushui first, and talk about the rest later."

Xia Yichu wasn't very enthusiastic because she didn't know what kind of films this director would make that would be popular.

Once she has made money from Wang Qiushui's film, made Xiao Wangshu famous, and increased the company's visibility, it won't be too late to consider investing in other directors' films.

"Okay, whatever you say. By the way, the director is giving you a chance to act, are you really not interested?" Xu Shaoyang joked.

"No way, being an artist is too hard. I just want to focus on running the company well and then sit back and wait for my share of the profits."

"That's true."
