Chapter 465: Slightly Better

At first, Xia Wei did not know what Su Chu wanted to do with her. After hearing her words, she smiled helplessly. There was even a hint of doting in the gentleness in her eyes.

This scene made the fans of the two sides on the live-stream lively. There were fans who thought highly of Xia Wei and Su Chu’s friendship, and there were also fans who randomly matched Xia Wei and Su Chu as a pair of same-sex on-screen couple. The overlap between the two was often terrifying!

The Best Actor—who had to stay in front of the live-stream on time to see his girlfriend, who would definitely win the award tonight—had already seen countless bullet chats saying that Xia Wei and Su Chu were a good match in the past few minutes!

The Best Actor’s heart ached, but he did not say anything. He just looked at Xia Wei in the live-stream calmly.

Big Manager Wu, who finally had Xia Wei going out for work and his boss finally working, acutely and helplessly realized that Jian Tan was distracted. A few truckloads of complaints flashed across his heart!

After a while, he composed himself and called back the distracted Best Actor to continue their work.

“‘Zhaoyuan’ will officially start filming next Monday? Why? Is there a reason why Director Chen suddenly started filming early?” Wu Fan looked at the production team of “Zhaoyuan” opposite them and frowned slightly.

Ma Lei smiled lightly when she heard that. She glanced at Jian Tan, who was staring at the tablet without looking up, and replied gently, “It’s like this. Because the production team received another investment at the last minute, the preparations for filming were successfully completed. That’s why Director Chen and Teacher Bai decided at the last minute to start filming directly.” “Actually, the filming of ‘Zhaoyuan’ has been delayed long enough for various reasons. If we don’t start now, I guess the media will spread rumors that our production team disappeared with the load of money. Hahaha!”

As Ma Lei spoke, she turned around and looked at Jian Tan. She continued, “Actually, we have to thank Jian Tan for this investment. With him around, our production team really saved a lot of time and effort to pull in investments. This additional investment of as much as 80 million yuan is all for you!”

Jian Tan was not surprised by the early filming of “Zhaoyuan”, but Ma Lei’s subsequent words piqued Jian Tan’s interest.

He looked at Xia Wei, who had finished the entertainment reporter interview in the live-stream, and asked bluntly, “With such a big investment, the other party must be after something big, right? What are the conditions they discussed with the production team? I won’t agree if it’s too ridiculous.”

Ma Lei smiled lightly and did not beat around the bush. “His opinion is very similar to yours. They both want to replace Ding Jing! However, the person they want to support after replacing Ding Jing is different from you.”

As Ma Lei spoke, she picked up the exquisite mug on the table. After taking a sip of wine, she continued, “I’ll tell you the truth. 80 million yuan can’t get rid of Ding Jing. The Ding Family invested much more in Director Chen than this!” For a moment, Jian Tan could not guess who the mysterious investor that Ma Lei was talking about was. Jian Tan looked up at her indifferently. “So you rejected them?”

Ma Lei shook her head and explained with a smile, “Didn’t I tell you just now? We just received a new investment. The movie is about to start filming.”

From Ma Lei’s words, Chen Jing had already accepted this additional investment, but he did not agree to the conditions proposed by the investor! Did Chen Jing have the guts to take the money but not do anything?

Jian Tan guessed that he did not, so Chen Jing must have agreed to the other conditions. While making the other party pay willingly, he also wanted the other party to take a step back first.

This was a good tactic, but Jian Tan did not care much. He looked at Ma Lei without saying anything. Just his scrutinizing gaze made the experienced Ma Lei feel pressured.

Ma Lei smiled and added, “We have no reason to reject such an additional investment, so Director Chen agreed to half of the other party’s request. Ding Jing can’t be the female lead of “Zhaoyuan”…” Naturally, Xia Wei couldn’t either! “Hence, in the end, you, Jian Tan, will be slightly better than the other parties in this benefits game!” As Ma Lei spoke, she raised her glass to Jian Tan. The smile in her eyes became more genuine.. “Your collaboration with Shen Fei can be considered to have taken back the role of ‘Song Zhang’ beautifully!”
