When she returned home for lunch, she looked at Feng Ziyan, unable to swallow the food in her bowl. Since 'Wife and Love' had stopped filming, wouldn't all the suffering she had suffered be for nothing? Most importantly, the television series's first sixty episodes had only Feng Ziyan as their sole investor. It was said that she had invested a few hundred million yuan into the series because the cost of going to all the country's scenic spots and filming the first movie stars was not a small amount of money.
Shao Yu Lu has a lot of fans as an A-list celebrity, plus Le Fei'er, the author of 'Wife and Love', is one of the top ten romance stars on Baidu's list of romance novels in China. Millions of original fans are looking forward to its release. The effect of stopping the auction should have been very great for her.
She had also heard that other shareholders in the company had long objected to his spending more than a billion dollars on a TV series that was relatively shorter and more rewarding. She was able to recoup the costs in a short period of time. She had been thinking about the matter of 'Wife and Love' being stopped all morning, so she believed that Feng Ziyan had also seen the news. From time to time, she would sit on the table and peek at his expression. Even when he ate and drank the soup, it was as if nothing unusual happened.
On the contrary, it was Feng Ziyan who discovered that Lu Qingzhou was looking at him from time to time. She could not help but stop the food in her bowl without moving a single drop. "Is there something wrong?"
Ever since that day when he and Feng Ziyan had been in a state of sobriety, their relationship had become more subtle. Feng Ziyan also did not keep throwing tantrums, although she still did not talk much to Lu Qingzhou, she did not always keep a straight face, and she would even take out some fruits from Sister Xia's cut fruits for her to eat. With this change, it was relatively easier for Lu Qingzhou to get along with him.
"I'm fine."
Lu Qingzhou lowered her head to pick up the rice in her mouth. Feng Ziyan frowned as she dug a hole in the rice in her bowl. She did not pick at all.
"Speak, I can answer all that I know."
Feng Ziyan put down the chopsticks in her hand and placed her hands on the table as she stared at Lu Qingzhou. Lu Qingzhou first shook his head, then finally nodded. After thinking for a while, he shook his head.
"You only have one chance. If you miss it, you won't answer me even if you wanted to."
Feng Ziyan's words sounded like she was both refusing and agreeing at the same time. Lu Qingzhou opened her mouth wide and then put down her chopsticks: "I heard that 'Wife and Love' stopped bidding?"
"Is that why you're asking?"
Feng Ziyan stared at Lu Qingzhou's face, and she nodded her head vigorously.
"I encountered a problem, but don't worry. We'll be starting up again soon."
He seemed to be making a promise to her. Lu Qingzhou saw that his expression did not seem like he was joking, so she carefully asked: "Is it because of the negative news about Shao Yu Lu?"
Feng Ziyan's lips curled up into a cold smile, "It has nothing to do with her. A person who doesn't know his own private life is unworthy of being a celebrity. She still can't affect the filming of the entire TV series. "
"Does that mean she can't be the female lead anymore?"
Feng Ziyan said it in a very casual manner. It wasn't that she didn't understand the profound mysteries of business, she was just speculating based on the facts that she saw with her own eyes. If it wasn't for the fact that the female lead exposed something unfavorable to her image, how could she have stopped filming?
"Mm, you're interested in this character?"
Feng Ziyan softly acknowledged and the following words scared Lu Qingzhou so much that he quickly waved his hands.
"No, no. I was just asking. I only asked because I heard that you invested in this movie and that it would be a terrible loss if you stopped filming. I never thought of being a female lead. "
They had been sleeping in his bed almost every other day recently, and that sort of thing happened every other day. When Feng Ziyan was in a good mood, she needed to do it two or three times a night, and every other night, she wanted to do it again after recovering her physical strength. It could be said that she would voluntarily climb into his bed every day.
"Are you worried that I won't be able to make money?"
Feng Ziyan's cold face suddenly had a hint of gentleness that even he couldn't detect on his face, and the voice behind him naturally became less cold and warmer.
"Don't worry, I don't really care about just a few hundred million. Investment is either a loss or a profit. Besides, I have the backing of the Feng Family, you don't have to worry about that." One Shao Rain Dew was nothing, she was something the company had raised up. As long as the company wanted to support her, they had ten Shao Rain Dew. If you like this play, I will have the script rewritten to suit you as a girl. The contract between you and the company has not been printed out yet. The pay is twenty million. "
"20, 20 million."
Lu Qingzhou almost overturned the rice in her bowl. She only earned a few hundred thousand yuan from the previous batch. Suddenly reaching twenty million yuan was still a bit of a problem for her to adapt to.
Feng Ziyan continued to eat with her head lowered, a smile on her face as she touched the edge of the bowl. He paid little attention to her, or he wouldn't have noticed before that she had such a cute, silly look on her face.
Lu Qingzhou earned twenty million in the time it took to eat a meal. When she went to bed, she was still feeling a little dizzy. After Feng Ziyan finished her meal, he told her that he had something to do so he went out. She had been tossing and turning in her bed all afternoon, but she just couldn't fall asleep. At last, at the risk of being scolded, she called Hai Yan. Fortunately, she had just come back from a meal and hadn't rested yet.
She asked how much she would be paid if she took the number one position in Wife and Love.
"It's about 15 million for an A-list celebrity. You just got 3 or 5 million and you're already at the top."
Hai Yan put a mask on her face and a plate of fruit salad. She sat on the bed and watched TV. You want the position of the female lead? He figured it out so quickly. "Don't worry, I'm very happy that you're ambitious. In the afternoon, I'll ask the company to let you try. Success or not will depend on your luck."
"No need, Haiyan, I'm just asking."
Lu Qingzhou's heart nearly jumped out of her throat. Feng Ziyan had offered her 20 million, which meant that she was 5 million more than a A-list celebrity. What did he mean by that? Was it the repayment for the past few days of "sleeping with her"? As he thought of this, the excitement from before vanished like smoke in thin air. What replaced it was a face that had squeezed into a knot of facial features.
"What's wrong?"
When Hai Yan heard the silence from the other side of the phone, an indescribable sadness rose in Lu Qingzhou's heart. She sniffed: "It's alright, I'm going to eat. I'm hanging up."
After she hung up, Hai Yan looked at the clock and asked, "It's already 3, what do you want to eat?" It's more like afternoon tea. "
In the evening, when Feng Ziyan came back, she threw three copies of the A4 contract to Lu Qingzhou. It was unknown from where Lu Qingzhou began to read it. Most of it was based on national legal provisions, and she couldn't tell why.
"The 20 million is yours."
