BXBX NOVEL Chapter 289 Investing
A day later, Ran Xueyi and Adelle left to meet the producer for the script <<The Untamed>>. Because the producer and director specially sent the script and offered her the female lead role in the TV drama, she was given the first priority amongst others.
Inside a private booth at a café. Director Xiao lowered his gaze to look at his watch. It was nearing nine in the morning, just a few minutes and the actress Ran Xueyi will be there to meet them.
Nobody could tell from their outward appearance, but inwardly, they were extremely nervous.
"Is she really meeting us to accept the role and not to personally reject us?" Director Xiao asked Producer Long.
PD Long Jun set his cup down and replied, "I don\'t think they would want to meet us if they were just going to reject our offer. I\'m sure she\'s going to accept it!"
Director Xiao sighed in relief and happily said, "It would be great if what you said is really the case. If we really end up getting her as the main cast, we don\'t have to worry about how the end result of the drama will be once it is released!"
Ran Xueyi just returned to Hua Country. And just a day after her return, she accepted their script and will work with them from now on. This was enough to make a big headliner in the news station and more and more people will pay attention to the TV drama before and after it was released!
What people like PD Long Jun and Director Xiao were always worried about was how they will make the money they spent on the film they\'re working on return to them. The worst thing could be that they will end up not getting anything and get the viewer\'s hatred instead.
While they waited, Ran Xueyi was at the cafe entrance. The time was right for ordinary people to get their coffee for work and wake themselves up and so, many people were already lining up in front of the cashier to pay for their coffee takeouts.
Ran Xueyi together with Adelle stepped into their booth and saw PD Long Jun and Director Xiao inside.
Ran Xueyi greeted them first, "Hello, Director Xiao, Producer Long."
The woman in front of them was extremely stunning and there was a few seconds in delay before they gave her a response.
Director Xiao coughed and greeted back, "Hello, hello!"
"Please sit. The two of you must be tired from your flight yesterday so we won\'t take much of your time!" PD Long Jun hurriedly gestured to the two chairs across from them.
Ran Xueyi did not shy away and also sat there.
As they said, they really did not speak some nonsense and went straight to talk about the script and contract signing.
"Unfortunately, we don\'t have enough investors and funds in the film so we can only offer you this much," PD Long Jun said while feeling slightly scared that his words might scare Ran Xueyi away. "Of course, once the drama takes off and many people watch it, we will add more to your income!" He hurriedly added.
Adelle, as Ran Xueyi\'s current manager, couldn\'t help but frown when she saw the amount and sternly said, "21 million yuan is still a bit too little for an actress like Estelle— I mean, Ran Xueyi. From what I heard, Rose Lin, who received a Best Actress award recently in the country, gets as much as 31 million to 40 million yuan with 500 thousand to a million yuan per episode. Don\'t you think this is a bit too little for Ran Xueyi as well?"
Well, putting it like that, both PD Long Jun and Director Xiao could not refute her words. It\'s certainly not the same after all. Ran Xueyi was not only an actress who received international best actress awards, she was also hailed as the Best Actress of the Century domestically.
Rose Lin, who was mentioned, didn\'t even have the right to be in the same line as Ran Xueyi, who was a best actress domestically and internationally. Rose Lin only became a best actress domestically very recently.
Ran Xueyi watched the three discuss the amount she will be receiving as if she was not the person involved at all. She was glad that she brought Adelle to this country to be her manager.
Adelle graduated in a business management course and also took four-years in Public Relations. She knew exactly how to work things out so that Ran Xueyi could get the maximum amount she should receive from any film and movie. Most of all, she learned 6 languages and speaks fluently in them.
"This… this… We can give her an additional ten million yuan from our own pockets," said PD Long Jun.
Director Xiao turned his head towards him and stared wide-eyed at him. His expression said \'When did I agree to that? Are you crazy?\'
PD Long Jun ignored him and desperately wanted to have Ran Xueyi as his cast. He was even willing to take ten million yuan from his own pocket just to get her.
His sincerity should be enough to tempt Ran Xueyi right?
After hearing what Producer Long Jun said, Ran Xueyi finally opened her mouth to speak.
"Actually, there\'s no need for Producer Long to take the money out of his pocket. I\'m willing to take 21 million yuan in one condition."
To take 21 million yuan seemed a bit too little for someone like Ran Xueyi… But Ran Xueyi was not obsessed with money. If they can\'t give her the exact amount that she should receive then, they can only agree to her conditions.
p
She shouldn\'t have any ridiculous conditions right?
Ran Xueyi smiled harmlessly and answered, "You two don\'t have to be so guarded. My conditions won\'t harm anyone." She took a pause for a few seconds to let them relax a little bit before she said, "I just want to invest in your film."
…
After their shock settled in and they all calmed down, all four of them ended up drafting a new contract. In this contract, Ran Xueyi became an investor in the film and also the female lead.
"Why did you suddenly want to invest?" Song Yu Han asked her as soon as she stepped out of the bathroom.
Xiao Zhanzhan was sleeping beside him with his head sitting on top of his father\'s lap.
Ran Xueyi paused in her tracks at the scene in front of her and her heart was instantly filled with warmth.
"Being an investor will give me enough freedom in the set. I don\'t want to just listen to what the staff will tell me to do. I also want to get involved in the filming\'s process." Ran Xueyi lifted the quilt to lay beside the two men in her life and placed her head atop Song Yu Han\'s arm.
"More than that, I also want to ensure that the quality of the film will be great since it\'s my first film after returning. I don\'t want another mishap to happen when the shooting starts." Remembering what happened three years ago, Ran Xueyi started to have a grudge against investors. Because of them, she suffered a lot.
Being an investor this time will allow her to control her fate in the set and also not let anyone trample on her only because they have more power and authority to do so.
Song Yu Han sighed and gathered her in his arms and placed a gentle kiss on top of her head. "Don\'t worry, I\'m here so you can do whatever you want."
"Really?" Ran Xueyi placed her hand on his chest and looked at his eyes.
Song Yu Han nodded. "Yes. I will also give you everything you want."
Ran Xueyi narrowed her eyes and suddenly said, "What about the Song family?"
Song Yu Han smirked, "Even the Song family. You can have it if you want."
Shaking her head, Ran Xueyi said while she drew circles with her finger on his chest: "Who said anything about wanting the Song family? I want them to fall down for what they did to me… You won\'t be mad at me if I do that right?"
The accident 3 years ago still gave her nightmares. Even though it was not as severe as it was before because she had Xiao Zhanzhan and Song Yu Han beside her.
But she didn\'t forget about what happened. She still has some grudge and blood debt for them to pay.
Song Yu Han also dotingly kissed her lips before saying, "I let them live for so long only because I thought you might want to do it yourself. Now, you\'re back, you can run wild as you want."
For the past 3 years, he tried so hard to control his rage towards the Song family. If it hadn\'t been for Ran Xueyi\'s sake, he would have already torched them down to the ground.
Of course, he made them suffer in other ways little by little, but he only did that to set up the stage for Ran Xueyi.
Now, she can really do whatever she wants to the Song family.
