Chapter 91: The Signing Of The Agreement

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The video call seemed to be taking place in Swallowtail’s top-floor office.

Yan Zhang arrogantly flicked his head and blew out two puffs of smoke from his nose. He ignored the frowning Jiang Zhi and looked at Director Zheng. A disdainful look flashed across his eyes.

“How’s the revision of the script? Director Zheng, don’t say I didn’t warn you. In the entire entertainment industry, the only one who is willing to invest 60 million in your Startup Fund is me! I’m giving you a chance now...

“As long as you agree to continue supporting Jiang Lu and Swallowtail’s artistes and throw away some of the troublesome low-tier rejects, I’m willing to continue investing.”

Yan Zhang was clearly targeting Jiang Zhi. Judging from Star Glory’s recent actions, she definitely wouldn’t be able to come up with the investment funds. “Think about it carefully...”

Director Zheng was a little hesitant as he stole a glance at Jiang Zhi.

Actually, he also knew that Jiang Zhi was already at her limit when she came up with 10 million.

Yan Zhang’s investment offer was indeed very tempting. He calculated that even though Jiang Lu had a bad temper, her acting skills could be trained and honed. If he worked with Swallowtail, he could get some attention from Jiang Lu’s fans during the airing of the earlier episodes. It would not be a loss.

However...

Seeing that he was wavering, Yan Zhang slowly moved closer to the screen and added, “But let’s be clear in advance. As an investor, I have the right to adjust and modify the plot at any time. The time and schedule of Jiang Lu’s filming will be controlled by Swallowtail.”

This was simply an overbearing clause!

As a director, he would have no dignity at all!

Director Zheng’s face was ashen. “Director Yan, no film crew would do this...”

Jiang Zhi did not wait for him to finish speaking and snatched the phone away. He stared coldly at Yan Zhang. “Give up. I will invest in this movie!

“You still can’t get rid of your bad habit of throwing money at people. Do you really think that you can do whatever you want just because you have money? Director Zheng’s movies are all works of art. They are works that can influence a generation and be passed down for generations more. If you go by your vulgar and absurd aesthetic taste, you will only produce rubbish with a stench that will stay for a long time!”

Every sentence from Jiang Zhi was like a knock on Director Zheng’s heart, reminding him not to give up his bottom line.

Yan Zhang was extremely angry at her ridicule. He grabbed his phone and shouted crazily, “Jiang Zhi, why are you talking to me about art when you are broke?

“Your artistes don’t have any money in their pockets. They’re just blindly hoping on Star Glory’s empty promises. They’re just a bunch of useless trash!

“They were all useless in Swallowtail. Even if they shoot a Hollywood blockbuster, they won’t be able to make any splash! Don’t be naive and keep dreaming on!”

Jiang Zhi could not be bothered to argue with him anymore. She raised her eyelids indifferently and retorted, “A piece of unpolished jade will always be a rock in the hands of a fool.

“It’s not that they don’t have potential, it’s just that they had to deal with you blocking their way like a clumsy big rock!”

Yan Zhang’s expression was ferocious. He wanted to say something again, but Jiang Zhi was the first to hang up the call.

The screen went off and returned to pitch-black, reflecting Director Zheng’s conflicted expression.

In Swallowtail’s office, Yan Zhang flung his phone on the ground and smashed it into pieces. The secretary outside was so shocked that she trembled and felt uneasy..

Jiang Zhi took a deep breath and contacted her lawyer via text message. She drafted the agreement in front of Director Zheng.

She signed and stamped the end of the agreement and handed it to Director Zheng. She said, “I will gather the remaining 50 million within three months. If you don’t receive the full amount within the time limit, the 10 million that I paid you will be regarded as the penalty for breach of contract. There is no need to return it.

“I hope our cooperation will be pleasant.”

Jiang Zhi made Director Zheng feel at ease and completely cut off his escape route!

..

The setting sun on the grassland was extremely beautiful, and the sunset glow that was like fire covered the sky.

After Lu Mian finished shooting the last set of shots, Director Zheng stared at the silhouette of him and Jiang Zhi staring at each other on the monitor and clicked his tongue in admiration.

Director Zheng called his assistant over and asked her to post the photo on the official blog of “Beacon”. At the same time, the caption read, “Hello from the Princess and Prince!”

Only ten minutes after it was posted, and tens of thousands of shares and likes were shared. The enthusiasm of the netizens was high..

[They are simply an immortal couple! When will it be released? I want to buy a movie ticket to see the Prince and Princess!]

[I can even feel their love just by looking at their silhouettes. It’s killing me! I’m getting diabetes!]

After Cheng Yi saw it, he tugged at his phone and dialed Lu Mian’s number. His voice was full of worry. “The old man will definitely see such heat. Aren’t you afraid...”

Ring. Lu Mian looked at the other call that was coming in at the same time and said calmly.

“He has already seen it.”

“...”

Cheng Yi was stunned. He pressed his hand against his wildly beating heart and silently prayed for Lu Mian, wishing him a smooth ride.

Lu Mian took a deep breath and said respectfully, “Grandfather.”

The old man stared at the picture that the housekeeper showed him. He leaned on his walking stick and said in an angry tone, “Hurry up and get back here!”
