Lin Xiyan listened to his every word. Unknowingly to her, her lips had turned white.
Shen Jie tried to hide the disdain he felt and smiled instead, “Yo, young master Fu, I’m truly sorry. It’s not that I don’t want to do you a favor, it’s just that your sister is truly unsuitable for this role.”
Fu Xiuyu didn’t expect Shen Jie to straight up reject him. He appeared surprised.
Then, he grinned, “You can’t judge the suitability of an actor after a single audition. Direct Shen, I’m sure you know that. If you want a great product, you need money.”
“As the old saying goes, the most talented housewife cannot show off her cooking skills without high quality ingredients. Let alone an entire production team.”
“Plus, you are not signed to any company. Without the support of a company, you would need to seek investment yourself.”
“I do not claim myself as talented, but my words carry weight in the entertainment industry.”
“If I express my hesitation towards you, then no investors in this industry would come out and support you. So, director Shen, you should think thrice before you speak.”
His words were oppressive.
He thought Shen Jie would for sure cave after what he had just said. Who knew that on the contrary, Shen Jie chuckled instead. The disdain on his face could no longer be concealed.
Sarcastically, he commented, “Mr. Fu, for your sister, you sure waste your good reputation.”
“There’s no need to worry for me. Two days ago, third young master Jun invested $3B. Actor Yi, as the male lead, came bearing $1B.”
“All this money… I think it’s enough. Even if it’s not, I can still safely say that there will be others to support me. You have made your opinion clear, and young master Jun has made his opinion clear through his initial investment.”
“You are highly influential in the entertainment industry. However, outside of it, there’s a gap between you and third young master Jun. Who determined that investment must come from within the industry?”
Fu Xiuyu’s face turned dark instantly. Not only was he embarrassed by this, but he was also worried.
The Jun Corporation invested in properties and had influences in most major businesses. The only industry it never got involved in was the entertainment industry.
Suddenly, the corporation invested in Shen Jie’s new project. Could it be that it was going to dip its feet in the entertainment industry as well?
The idea of that sent cold sweat down his spine.
Yin Shiqiong suddenly chimed in, “Third young master Jun is Feng Ci’s fan. This new project is based on Feng Ci’s novel. Therefore, it is normal for him to invest.”
“But, director Shen, you plan on only doing this project and nothing else? Don’t you want new projects afterward?”
“Just like Xiuyu had said, you are not signed to any entertainment companies. For every new production, you need to pull in investments yourself.”
“The only reason third young master Jun invested is because of the project itself, not because of you. How can you be sure that he will support all your future projects?”
“If Xiuyu wants to end your career afterward, who can you rely on?”
Yin Shiqiong’s words made Qiao Qing glance at her. Her bright eyes narrowed.
Fu Siying aggressively shook Yin Shiqiong’s arm, “Sister-in-law, you’re so dominating! Only you are good enough for my brother!”
Then, she mockingly gave Lin Xiyan a look and stuck out her tongue.
Fu Xiuyu heard Yin Shiqiong’s words and sighed in relief.
So Jun Yexuan didn’t want to conquer the entertainment industry. Since he was a fan of Feng Ci’s, then for him to invest in this project was very normal.
He then looked over to Shen Jie to indicate that he meant to say that as well.
Who knew that Shen Jie chuckled yet again, “Oh, look at me! I forgot to tell you. Who said I have no company to back me up?”
“A few days ago, I signed with Sky Entertainment. Now, I’m a director under Sky Entertainment’s wing. If I want to do my own projects, I need to ask my boss if they will let me.”
“A project from Star Entertainment? I don’t see a need to ask my boss if I could do it. They for sure will say no!”
This news came as a surprise to Fu Xiuyu. His face turned green, “You signed with Sky Entertainment?!”
