“Actually, he majored in film directing back in school. In the beginning, he had started out as a background actor. Later, when he had the resources, he started his own studio and became a director, and made a trendy style online drama. I think it looks promising but he couldn’t find anyone to invest in it and his studio is on the verge of closing business. He was desperate when he came looking to me for help, but I don’t know how I could help him. So, I was wondering if you have any ideas to help him out?”

Fang Xiaocheng briefly explained to Xu Xiyan about her friend’s predicament.

After listening to Fang Xiaocheng, Xu Xiyan pondered for a while, then said, “Can you take me to see your friend?”

“Sure. We can go there now.”

Xu Xiyan followed Fang Xiaocheng to look for her friend.

After arriving at the place, Xu Xiyan got to know Fang Xiaocheng’s friend. His name was Lu Zeyan, a young director who’d had a career change recently. He had no fame and his studio was small, and his production team was quite bare.Diiscover new stories at novelhall.com

Lu Zeyan was also quite handsome and he was ambitious with his ideas. He told Xu Xiyan about the script of the movie he was preparing to shoot.

“This is the overall concept of ??my movie. The temporary title of the movie is “Those Beautiful Bygone Days.”

This was a low-budget movie. Since they could not afford to hire famous actors, Lu Zeyan intended to hire newcomers. After estimating all the expenses in all aspects, it should total about one million Yuan.

Xu Xiyan was a little surprised. She did not expect the budget of this film to be so low. The money she had on hand now was enough to invest in this film.

“Then... what about this studio?”

Lu Zeyan assumed that she was just asking the question out of the blue. “At least 10 million Yuan.”

“What if I’m willing to invest 10 million and buy your studio? I want you to make this film into a masterpiece and you must work meticulously on it. Can you do it?”

Since Xu Xiyan decided to invest, she needed him to guarantee the quality of the film she was investing.

She didn’t want the film to become a big flop after it was released.

Ten million?

Lu Zeyan almost fell to his knees in shock. He had literally regarded Xu Xiyan as his savior. He thumped on his chest as he gave her his assurance, “Miss Jing Xi, if you’re willing to invest 10 million, you’re the boss of this studio. If you want me to make this film into a masterpiece, I shall do it.”

Only ten million required to buy a studio and a team of production crew members. Xu Xiyan felt it was worth it.
