During this negotiation, before the meal was even finished, Ji Xiaoli directly transferred one billion yuan to this junior disciple.
The director beamed from ear to ear. He patted the junior disciple, who was still in a daze, and said, "Hurry up and thank President Ji."
Only then did the junior disciple come to his senses. He nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with determination. "Thank you, President Ji! I will surely make a great work."
Ji Xiaoli waved her hand casually. "Don't put so much pressure on yourself. It's just one billion yuan. Just shoot it well. If we make money, I'll share half of the profit with you. If we lose money, I'll bear the loss."
This made the junior disciple even more touched. He almost wanted to devote himself to Ji Xiaoli whole - heartedly.
After investing in her junior disciple, Ji Xiaoli thought about the huge amount she owed to the system. She felt that she still had to work harder to find more sources of income.
Just as she was pondering how to make more investments, the director came to her again.
Ji Xiaoli's eyes lit up. "Director, is the investment not enough? How about I add some more?"
This would also increase the progress of her task.
Hearing this, the director felt his scalp tingle. He took a few steps back silently. "No, President Ji. The investment you gave us is more than enough. There's no need for more."
"Oh." Ji Xiaoli retracted her gaze listlessly. She had thought she could make another investment.
Just then, the director looked hesitant. "Well, President Ji."
Ji Xiaoli was a bit confused. Why did the director look so strange?
"Director, just say what you want."
The director gritted his teeth and finally stated his purpose for today. "President Ji, didn't you invest one billion yuan in my junior disciple yesterday?"
Ji Xiaoli nodded, still a bit puzzled. "Is the money not enough?"
The director shook his head. His smile was a bit awkward. "Well, there are no secrets in the circle. The whole entertainment industry knows that you've invested in my junior disciple."
"So?" Ji Xiaoli raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue.
The director sighed. "A lot of other directors heard that it was me who introduced my junior disciple to you. So they want me to ask if you have any intention of investing in other scripts?"
This was just what Ji Xiaoli needed. Her look at the director immediately became more approving. "Yes, of course. As long as the scripts are good enough, I'm open to all of them."
The director probed further. "There are quite a few scripts this time."
Ji Xiaoli was very generous. "No problem. How about you help me pick out the good ones first?"
The director originally wanted to refuse, but thinking of this generous investor, he agreed.
Although Ji Xiaoli entrusted the director to screen the scripts completely, the director didn't overstep his bounds.
He was very measured. He carefully selected more than twenty scripts from hundreds of documents for Ji Xiaoli to screen again.
Ji Xiaoli received the documents sent by the director and directly forwarded them to Zheng Nanfeng. Then they both took a brief look.
Zheng Nanfeng had good taste. After looking, he found that these more than twenty scripts were all of high quality.
"Xiaoli, in my opinion, these scripts are all good."
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoli had an idea. "Then I'll invest in all of them!"
Since she said so, Zheng Nanfeng always supported her unconditionally.
After discussing for a while, Ji Xiaoli found the director again. "I've selected the scripts."
The director was a bit surprised. "President Ji, you've selected them so quickly?"
Wasn't it a bit too fast?
"Is it fast?" Ji Xiaoli asked without realizing. "By the way, director, please tell the creators of these scripts."
The director's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the generous investor didn't like any of the scripts?
"President Ji, I think these scripts are okay. You can take another look."
Ji Xiaoli nodded. "Of course I know they're good."
"Then why do you want to return them?" The director was a bit unsure.
Hearing this, Ji Xiaoli said with a wry smile, "I'm not saying to return these scripts. I mean I'll take all of them. I'd like you to contact the creators. I'll find a time to invest with them."
After hearing this, the director subconsciously rubbed his ears. "President Ji, I seem to have misheard just now. Did you say you're going to invest in all of them?"
"Yes, I trust your judgment." Ji Xiaoli said righteously. "So I'll trouble you, director."
After saying that, without giving the director any time to refuse, she transferred a large sum of money to the director's card.
"This is the deposit. Please transfer this money to those creators."
The director nodded subconsciously. He was still a bit dazed even when he walked out.
Was this what a rich woman was like? Others would pick two out of twenty scripts to invest in, while a rich woman would just invest in all of them.
However, the director didn't have the nerve to ask. Even if he did, Ji Xiaoli wouldn't answer.
Due to Ji Xiaoli's request, all twenty - odd creators came to the film crew that afternoon.
Among them were well - known directors and some promising newbies.
Ji Xiaoli treated them equally. She directly transferred money according to the quality of the scripts. The better the script, the more money she transferred.
After transferring money for the whole afternoon and signing countless documents, Ji Xiaoli finally completed the task before the task settlement.
[Congratulations to the player for successfully completing the task. It seems that we can't punish the player next week.]
The system's voice sounded a bit regretful.
Ji Xiaoli twitched the corner of her mouth and simply ignored it.
In the following days, Ji Xiaoli lived a very comfortable life.
She would shoot some scenes when she was free. During the shooting, the director treated her like a precious ancestor.
After others knew that Ji Xiaoli was the biggest investor in the crew, they became even more polite to her.
Only Shen Wei was a bit jealous. "What an investor! The money she invested was all from Zheng Nanfeng, wasn't it?"
The third female lead in the play came over. "Sister Shen, what do you mean?"
Shen Wei sneered. "What else do you think? How could Ji Xiaoli, a woman, have so much money to invest? In the end, she's just spending the money of that rich second - generation guy Zheng Nanfeng beside her."
The third female lead thought to herself that Ji Xiaoli was also a well - known rich second - generation.
However, she didn't say this out. As a third female lead, an 18 - line little star, she didn't want to offend Shen Wei, the first female lead.
Most of the onlookers thought the same way. Even if they had different opinions in their minds, they wouldn't refute Shen Wei to her face.
Seeing that others didn't refute her, Shen Wei became even more complacent. She would spread such rumors behind Ji Xiaoli's back from time to time.
Ji Xiaoli wasn't unaware of this after a long time.
However, she thought that Shen Wei was just a clown. No sensible person would believe her, so she just let it go.
But she didn't expect that the Shen Wei she didn't care about would give her a "big surprise".
One day, just after Ji Xiaoli finished shooting a scene, she saw Zheng Nanfeng come over nervously.
Just as she was wondering, Zheng Nanfeng said, "Xiaoli, you have to believe me. I have nothing to do with that woman!"
Ji Xiaoli: ???
