Compared with Ji Xiaoli's surprise, Zhong Canxi was very calm.
Anyway, there was no hope in the end. It was better to present the best of himself. What if the director remembered him and gave him a small role?
Thinking this way, Zhong Canxi took a deep breath and then entered the role.
This role was quite similar to him. He was originally a son of heaven, but suddenly his family had fallen. He fell into the dust. Just when he was in despair, God played a joke on him. He got rich overnight and his dream came true!
He wanted a job. Countless popular and high - paying jobs came to him.
He wanted a sports car. The sports car drove in front of him in a second for him to drive.
He wanted to reach the peak of his life. The peak toppled and let him step on!
All of these pointed to one thing. His life had really opened up!
It was a pity that the novel was just a novel. In real life, Zhong Canxi didn't expect his life to open up. It was enough to get a small role.
After Zhong Canxi finished his performance and stepped down, the director, Pan Damin, drew a line on his notebook and whispered, "This actor is okay."
Ji Xiaoli was secretly happy.
Couldn't he be okay?
She had written the character based on Zhong Canxi!
Before she could be secretly happy, a roar suddenly pierced Ji Xiaoli's eardrum.
"I know you have already set the champion! But I still want to fight for it!"
Ji Xiaoli was shocked. She suddenly raised her head and saw Fan Kunkun's excited and distorted face.
"This is not just because I am not willing! More importantly..."
"I have an advantage!!!"
With a snap, the pen in Pan Damin's hand fell to the ground.
Damn, the roar - type acting was referring to this, right?
...
It was already evening when they interviewed all the candidates.
Ji Xiaoli and the director discussed the male lead in the office.
Ji Xiaoli was new here and had her own selfish motives. So she said nothing.
Pan Damin ticked and checked. When he was about to speak, the producer, Producer Jiang, spoke first.
"Hey, I saw a young man today. He performed quite well."
With a click, Producer Jiang pressed her Zippo and lit a cigarette. After taking a puff, she lifted her lips and said with a smile, "That Fan Kunkun. I think he is quite good."
"Fan Kunkun?" Ji Xiaoli was stunned. She didn't react for a moment who this person was.
"That one, with yellow hair," Producer Jiang got excited. "He has two stud earrings on his ear. He came out of the draft before. He is very popular now. I think he is quite suitable for the role in your text."
Ji Xiaoli: ...
The character in her text was a rich second - generation from a scholarly family!
"Just decide on him?" Producer Jiang blew out a white smoke ring. She looked up at Pan Damin. "Is it okay? I'll call him now?"
Pan Damin only frowned and looked at the script. Although he didn't say anything, he clearly looked bitter.
"Okay, I'll call him now..."
"Sister Jiang!" Ji Xiaoli couldn't bear it anymore. She suddenly stood up. "Since you have already chosen, why did you let us organize this casting? Don't you think it is a waste of everyone's time?"
Producer Jiang probably didn't expect Ji Xiaoli to say this. She squinted at her and even forgot to smoke.
"Hehe, young people, is your time very valuable?"
Producer Jiang shook off the ash. "How about this? You don't have to do this. This is the most time - saving."
Pan Damin coughed and finally said, "Sister Jiang, that..."
"What? Can't I even fire a screenwriter now that I can't decide on a male lead?"
Producer Jiang's voice suddenly rose. Then she sneered twice. "How about this? I won't invest in this drama. You can do it by yourself. Use whoever you like. I'll leave, okay?"
"Sister Jiang, we didn't mean that..." As soon as they heard that she wanted to withdraw her investment, Pan Damin broke out in a sweat.
"Ouch, anyway, you are so powerful. You don't care about my little investment, right?"
Ji Xiaoli suddenly calmly intervened, "Yes."
"Right, I said so..." Producer Jiang subconsciously answered. She only understood Ji Xiaoli's meaning halfway through.
She looked at Ji Xiaoli in disbelief. She was so surprised that she was speechless.
Even Pan Damin was stunned.
Please, if the investor left, how could this drama be filmed? How could his movie dream be realized?
"Xiaoli, you..."
"Director, how much did Sister Jiang invest?" Ji Xiaoli asked.
Pan Damin continued to be speechless.
Producer Jiang gritted her teeth and showed six fingers.
"Sixty million. That's the total amount of the lottery you won. Oh, I don't know if there is that much left after the donation and tax deduction."
She said coldly, "I don't know if you have the determination and perseverance to invest all sixty million in your book."
Ji Xiaoli suddenly lowered her eyes, shook her head and sighed gently. "Of course not."
Producer Jiang laughed and shook her head. "Ha! I thought you were so tough. Little friend, to tell you the truth, I really didn't fall in love with your book because you wrote it well. You were lucky. You became a little popular through the lottery."
"I saw that you had natural traffic. That's why I chose your book for filming. Otherwise, what do you think?"
Pan Damin also wiped the cold sweat and sighed. "Xiaoli, you... You should talk later..."
"What I mean is, sixty million... Is too little."
Ji Xiaoli clicked her tongue. She tilted her head in distress. "Director Pan, how about letting Sister Jiang withdraw her investment? I'll invest myself."
Seeing her confident expression, Pan Damin didn't dare to be negligent. He asked carefully, "Then Xiaoli, how much do you plan to invest?"
Ji Xiaoli held up a finger.
"Ten million?"
Pan Damin was disappointed.
"No, it's one hundred million."
"Er -!!"
Pan Damin suddenly had a heart attack.
He protected his heart and twitched.
Ji Xiaoli frowned. "What's wrong, Director? Isn't it enough?"
"No no no! It's enough! !" Pan Damin waved his hand again and again.
Producer Jiang was so angry that her face turned white. She gritted her teeth and said angrily, "Don't just listen to her! Can you take it out?"
"How can she not take it out!" Pan Damin suddenly became tough. "Don't you see who her parents are! As long as she wants to take it, she can take out ten billion!"
A check fluttered in front of Pan Damin at this time.
"Here, Director. This is the investment money."
Pan Damin took it and looked.
0!
So many 0s!
One hundred million! It was really an investment of one hundred million! !
"Er -"
Pan Damin had another heart attack. He fainted with a thud.
Ji Xiaoli crossed her hands in front of her chest. She looked up at Producer Jiang. "Sister Jiang, you still haven't left. Is there something wrong?"
Producer Jiang was so angry that her face turned white.
Damn, is it amazing to be rich?
