Chapter 660: Chapter 651: Nine-Star Dou Practitioner
The news about Su Qing establishing Baiwen Entertainment specifically for investing in the film industry wasn’t widely broadcasted.
After all, this company wasn’t meant to make money from the public, but it did circulate within a small circle of directors domestically.
Thanks to the three directors who received investments and Wang Fan’s personal promotion, many directors came to know there was such a company in the capital, and that if they ever needed funding, they might try their luck there.
Don’t be fooled by the seemingly low success rate this time of only one in ten; it’s actually quite good among directors, especially for those who aren’t well-known.
As long as they secure the investment, no matter how the film turns out, they are bound to profit. If the film happens to be a hit, then they gain both fame and fortune. So even though the approval rate isn’t high, it can’t dampen the directors’ enthusiasm.
In fact, many people proactively contacted Wang Fan, trying to establish a connection through him to secure investment.
But Wang Fan is not just anybody. Regardless of the directors’ skills, he’s been in the business long enough, and his emotional intelligence can’t be low; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been dubbed the "Mendicant" director by netizens.
He can get many celebrities in the industry to make cameo appearances, so his connections must be quite good. A person with such networking skills naturally knows what should be done and what shouldn’t.
And since it’s about Su Qing, their relationship has become even more familiar since the success of "Wandering Earth."
Especially now, as he plans to work on the sequel, and is able to repay Su Qing for the assistance he received in the past, Wang Fan is now more confident when facing Su Qing, unlike the cautiousness of the previous year.
This is the kind of good social relationship that results when both parties have value to each other.
If it were like a year ago, with only Su Qing making contributions, Wang Fan would naturally find it hard to hold his head up, which would instead hinder their interaction.
Being such a person, of course, he wouldn’t promise others anything lightly, nor would he make things difficult for Su Qing.
And since they’re all in the director’s circle, he knows very well what those people have in mind.
He could help with introductions, but whether it works out is entirely up to Su Qing. If it succeeds, both parties owe him a favor, and if it fails, it’s their own choice and can’t be blamed on him.
Soon, two more days passed, during which Su Qing also resolved all the follow-up issues with his company. At least from now on, Baiwen Entertainment is a legally qualified film investment company.
And the three people Tang Nan arranged were also on their way to various film crews, as they needed to represent the investors on set.
"Hey, don’t forget what you promised me!"
Outside the airport, Tang Nan sat in the driver’s seat with the window rolled down, smiling at him as he spoke.
Hearing this, Su Qing, dragging a small suitcase, took a deep breath and nodded: "Sure, remember, I’ll definitely involve you in the next round of investment.
If you’re free, come to Jiang City for a few days, my treat!"
"Sounds good, before when I went to Jiang City, it was either for Sister Qing or to see Xiao Yi. Next time, I’ll be coming for you, and even if Xiao Yi wants me to leave, I won’t, just to annoy her, hehe!" Tang Nan laughed.
Su Qing: ...
Knowing Tang Nan’s always bickering nature with his girlfriend, he didn’t want to comment on it; clearly, they have a good relationship, but they’re just stubborn.
"Then maybe don’t come, sparing my girlfriend any discomfort!" Su Qing replied.
Upon hearing this, Tang Nan, like a master of facial expressions, immediately changed his expression, furrowed and said, "I spit, you’re really prioritizing romance over friendship, men are all the same."
"Say what you want, if I don’t care for my wife, am I supposed to rely on you? I’m leaving!" With that, Su Qing turned around with his suitcase.
Seeing this, Tang Nan quickly shouted:
"Alright, alright, your wife comes first. Also, wait for my news after some time!"
To Tang Nan’s reminder, Su Qing did not turn back; he simply waved his hand and left.
He’s never felt sad due to partings, because he believes as long as people are alive, there will always be reunions, which are undoubtedly exciting and joyous.
That’s right, he’s leaving now. It’s been over ten days since he came to the capital, and now that everything is completed, even Wang Fan has returned to Shanghai to discuss post-release matters regarding "Wandering Earth." What else is there for him to do in the capital? Going home to be with his wife seems more worthwhile.
Whirr~~~
With a plane taking off from the airport, Su Qing’s trip to Jiang City came to a temporary end.
That afternoon, he returned to Jiang City.
It’s just that today, the weather was not so cooperative, with light rain falling from the sky. Although it’s March and Jiang City isn’t quite in full bloom like Jiangnan, it’s still considered the beginning of spring.
As the saying goes, spring rain is as precious as oil. Even though there’s a slight chill, this light rain season is one of his favorite kinds of weather.
Standing at the airport exit, Su Qing tightened his coat and prepared to jog a bit when a steady and even "tap tap" sound was heard.
Hearing it, Su Qing looked up to see a graceful figure holding a black umbrella walking towards him.
Black suit, white shirt with a tie, flat shoes, hair styled into bangs parted in the middle, long hair cascading down naturally—who else could it be but Shen Yi.
Unlike usual, today she wore a rarely seen suit and tie, with a hairstyle quite different from before. Despite having a youthful girly vibe with her bangs parted, cascading hair falling on each side of her face.
Her face had that innocent girlish look, yet her vibe was strong, giving a sense of dissonance at first glance.
Isn’t she beautiful? Of course, with her figure and looks, Shen Yi is definitely a perfect clothes hanger, looking good in anything. However, it just feels like her outfit and hairstyle don’t quite match her aura.
Thus, as she walked along, passing by, people couldn’t help but take an extra look or two.
At this moment, Shen Yi used her other hand to tug at her tie, loosening it a bit, giving off a casual look. As they made eye contact, Shen Yi finally spoke in her familiar, mature, and savvy voice when she stood before him: "Yo, my dear brother finally decided to visit his sister?"
Hearing Shen Yi’s familiar voice instantly gave Su Qing a tingling sensation all over. He suddenly knew his sister, although appearing calm on the outside, was actually quite impatient inside.
"I’m all done with work, see, I came straight back to see you!"
They gazed into each other’s eyes, and the rustling sound of raindrops on the umbrella unexpectedly calmed their previously restless hearts.
After a while, Shen Yi spoke again: "What are you staring at, you doofus!"
"Just checking out your outfit today."
"How is it, looks good?"
"Good, did you dress up just for me? I don’t remember having such a fetish?" Su Qing chuckled.
Upon hearing this, Shen Yi rolled her eyes and replied, "Nonsense, I had an important client to meet today, so I dressed a bit more formally. Look, Sister just finished with the client and headed straight here to pick you up, aren’t you touched?"
Shen Yi knew he was coming back today, but because of company matters, Su Qing had planned to return home on his own. He didn’t expect her to rush over to pick him up, and to be honest, he’s quite touched.
"Touched, should I reward you with a green fork or what?" Su Qing laughed.
Shen Yi: ???
"Green fork? What is that?"
"Increases attack speed, can also increase critical strike."
To this, Shen Yi paused for a bit before replying with a blush on her cute face, "Get out of here, stop feeding me empty promises. I know your speed, and you talk about increasing critical strikes. Trying to push your luck?"
Hearing this, Su Qing widened his eyes; he never expected Aunt Shen to understand, considering among his friends, her level of understanding was always low, always passive.
"Why are you making that face?" Seeing his expression, Shen Yi asked with a blushing face.
Taking a deep breath, Su Qing said, "You understood what I just said?"
"Hah, little brother, who are you looking down on? Your sister here is now a nine-star fighter!"
Su Qing gasped: "Extraordinary!"
