Wang Libo walked up to Ye Huanyan, extended his hand and said politely, "Mr. Gu, I've heard a lot about you."
Ye Huanyan smiled and extended her hand. "You're Lixin Media's Mr. Wang. Nice to meet you. I heard from my assistant that you took the initiative to invest in our movie. You weren't angry at me for refusing to sell the rights to the script at all. You're really magnanimous. I admire you very much."
Everyone knew how to be polite. Ye Huanyan used to be a person who commanded the workplace, so she knew better than anyone else.
"The Joy and Sorrow of the Rest of My Life With You" was popular even before it was filmed. It was all because of the popularity and reputation of her previous seven scripts. Therefore, even if this script was terrible, there would still be people who would buy it.
When a movie's box office was guaranteed, it was naturally a seller's market. The investors were about to break through Haiyan Media's threshold. If Lixin Media was still thinking about her refusal to sell the rights to the script, they would be going against the money.
From Gu Chi, Ye Huanyan found out that before the investment was confirmed, Lixin Media and a few other big media companies had secretly made things difficult for Haiyan Media. Their motive was very simple. It was for the sake of the script. However, Haiyan Media was backed by the Gu family, so they had probably tried to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice used to lure it. Fortunately, Lixin Media's Mr. Wang was a person with foresight. He stopped in time and expressed goodwill to Haiyan Media in time.
Therefore, one of the two main investors still fell into his hands.
The other one was Pleasure Group.
Gu Chi said that after confirming that the rights to the script were not for sale, the first to propose an investment cooperation was Pleasure Group.
Therefore, all these years, if not for the Gu Corporation's suppression, with Ling Han's business vision, he would have left Lixin Media a few streets behind.
Wang Libo warmed up the atmosphere by exchanging pleasantries. He then asked the waiter to bring out the premium red wine he had stored here. These were all pleasantries that were commonly used at dinner parties.
They went back and forth, saying these words, but the meaning was different.
Every word Ye Huanyan said hammered at Ling Han's heart. Her way of doing things was too similar to someone else's.
Finally, after exchanging pleasantries, Ye Huanyan looked up at Ling Han. Seeing his complicated expression, she took the initiative to greet him.
"Chief Ling, is there something on my face? You keep staring at me. "
Ling Han's eyes narrowed, and Wang Libo's laughter came from the side. "Miss Gu, you may not know, but our President Ling is famous for not getting close to women. This is probably the first time he has lost his composure in front of a woman. You are really too beautiful."
"Really?" Ye Huanyan took two steps closer and asked with a smile. "I'll take it as a compliment, President Ling."
The sweet fragrance on her body was endless, and her amorous smile melted the ice in his eyes.
Ling Han's heart finally returned to its original place. He revealed an indifferent and distant smile and said meaningfully, "Miss Gu, you're really good at hiding things."
He was sure that flirtatious, hot, and bold, was definitely not the style of the person in his impression.
It had been too long, and he had been separated for too long, so it had made him hallucinate.
It was too ridiculous to link two completely different people together.
After sitting down, Su Nianhua came back. When he saw Ye Huanyan, he was also shocked. After telling him what had happened, Wang Libo joked, "I heard that the singer of the movie's theme song was personally chosen by Miss Gu. Miss Gu, are you a fan of Su Nianhua?"
Su Nianhua's expression was a little awkward.
When he looked at Ye Huanyan again, she looked calm and composed. "Yes, I've heard Mr. Su's song before, and I think it's very good. It's very compatible with my movie. If possible, I would like to talk to Mr. Su about whether he's interested in the male lead. I think this movie is very suitable for him."
Hearing this, everyone's face was filled with astonishment.
Wang Libo's hand that was holding the wine glass trembled, and a few drops of water fell out, but he still had to smile. "Su Nianhua is a singer, but he has never acted before. Miss Gu, you might not be very clear about the domestic market. Recently, all the popular A-list and B-list stars are in Lixin Media. For example, the second male lead in your last movie, Bai Yu, and the female lead's best friend, Zhao Xiaoyou, are all in Lixin Media. If we work together again, they will be more familiar with your script."
It was a common practice for investors to insert actors into the cast.
This was also one of the reasons why Lixin Media tried so hard to invest in this movie.
But this Gu Huanyan did not play by the rules.
She put down the glass and looked at Wang Libo. "I know that Bai Yu is not bad, but this movie is different from the previous one. There is no suitable role for him, President Wang."
After saying this, she did not wait for Wang Libo to refute and asked Su Nianhua, "I wonder if Mr. Su is willing? I have seen the movie parts you made a guest appearance in before. You don't have to worry about acting skills, we have professionals to train you. "
Su Nianhua's eyes flashed with a trace of surprise. "You mean the male lead?"
Seeing Su Nianhua's hesitation, Ye Huanyan guessed that he had some concerns, so she smiled. "It's okay, Mr. Su, you can go back and think about it slowly. After you have thought it through, you can contact me directly or ask your agent to contact me."
When Ye Huanyan spoke to Su Nianhua, her expression was gentle, as if they were old friends.
Ling Han was between the two of them, so no one noticed that Ling Han's eyes could not help but darken.
Wang Libo smiled meaningfully. "Miss Gu really likes Su Nianhua."
Hearing this, Su Nianhua's expression was a little ugly.
Too many things had happened in the past five years, and the once arrogant teenager had lost his edge. It was as if someone had pulled out a thorn, and he had to bow his head in front of the powerful.
Three years ago, the chain of hospitals controlled by Lu Corporation declared bankruptcy and closed down, and the Lu family was unable to recover from the setback. There was a murder lawsuit in the hospital, and public opinion was on the rise. Some people even dug up the relationship between Su Nianhua and the Lu family, and his popularity plummeted.
Ye Huanyan's heart tightened, and the hand holding the wine glass tightened.
She thought about it in her heart and glanced at Wang Libo from the corner of her eye. She smiled and said, "Zhao Xiaoyou's acting is not bad, and she is quite photogenic. She fits the role of the character in my movie."
Hearing this, Wang Libo beamed. "Miss Gu, you have good taste. That girl is young, and she just graduated last year, but her acting is definitely much better than those young actresses nowadays. She suits Miss Gu the best."
"I think so too. Although this role is still a challenge for her, I believe she can do it."
"She can definitely do it."
Seeing how happy Wang Libo was, Ye Huanyan remained calm and said slowly, "Although the second female lead is a villain, she has a lot of inner drama. Although it is not likable, her acting skills will definitely be recognized by the director's circle, and it will be helpful for her future career."
"Second female lead?" Wang Libo was shocked.
"Yes, the second female lead. This role is specially reserved for President Wang's woman. Thank you for investing in the movie, President Wang. I'll drink first."
Ye Huanyan held the wine glass and smiled slyly.
