Eight-digit Figure
When the producer, Songkai, saw that it was Xi Wan, he immediately frowned and said in an impolite tone, “Who let you in? If you want to audition for the female lead, wait your turn. I can’t let you get in through the back door.”
Songkai didn’t like Xi Wan to begin with; he felt that although she was good-looking and matched the beauty of the female lead in the drama, Xi Wan was really good at causing trouble. Case in point: they were just having an audition, and yet there was already such a big commotion. What would happen if they actually started filming? Would reporters come every day?
Moreover, because of Xi Wan’s incident today, their audition progress had been delayed. As of right now, Songkai was extremely dissatisfied with Xi Wan.
Xi Wan smiled and said, “Let’s talk about investments.”
Songkai didn’t pay attention to what she said and thought she was here to fight for the female lead. He simply said, “I’m sorry, but I don’t think you’re suitable for the role of the female prota…”
At this point, he trailed off as he finally realized what Xi Wan had just said. His eyes widened and he asked again, “What did you just say?”
“I said that I want to invest in your production. I’m not a female star anymore. I want to be an investor. Let me see, you already have some funds. How about this: I’ll invest another eight figures into your production. Would that be enough?”
Songkai was dumbfounded.
Eight figures? He didn’t hear her wrongly, did he?
She also asked if it was enough. Did that mean that if he felt that it wasn’t enough, she could invest more?
Songkai felt like he was in a dream. Xi Wan was no longer an actress and was here to throw money at his production?
…Wait a minute, if Xi Wan was really that rich, why did she still want to become an actress? She didn’t act much, but she’d already garnered lots of criticism. Why would she suffer this grievance?
At this moment, outside the production team, the staff were all staring at the movements inside.
“Xi Wan has already been inside for a while. They won’t start quarreling, will they? ”
“Who knows? Nothing good ever comes from Xi Wan’s visits. We forgot to stop her just now…I hope the producer won’t scold us later,” they muttered, feeling that the negotiations inside would not be very friendly.
I heard that Xi Wan has a sugar daddy backing her. She wouldn’t use him to negotiate with the producer, would she? ”
“Ah, if you put it that way, although Xi Wan is brainless, she’s indeed quite pretty. The rich will definitely like her. If our producer gives in, then we’ll have to suffer in the future. I don’t want to work with Xi Wan at all, I’ve always felt that she’s really troublesome.”
“That’s right. Everyone’s saying that she’s a big shot, that she has a sugar daddy behind her, and that she’s bullying newbies!”
As the staff outside were mumbling amongst themselves, Songkai came out of his office. They immediately shut up and looked over.
Songkai laughed happily. “We are ready to start work. You can get the others to continue with the auditions. If I remember correctly, it should be Jiang Ran’s turn, right? Let her come for the audition.”
After that, Songkai immediately returned to his room. The other people in charge of the audition also went in one by one.
The staff members were dumbfounded. “No way. Why didn’t Xi Wan come out? Was her sugar daddy so powerful that she can actually participate in our audition? ”
“That’s too scary. Jiang Ran and Xi Wan don’t get along. If she goes in for the audition now, wouldn’t we be in trouble?”
They discussed this news among themselves, but they still quickly informed Jiang Ran of her turn.
Hence, when Jiang Ran came in, she saw Xi Wan sitting in the row of directors and producers.
Although Jiang Ran was full of questions, she couldn’t ask them in front of the director and producer. She could only keep them to herself and introduce herself in silence.
She had already estimated that those who came to audition for the female lead were either not as good-looking or as famous as her.
Her biggest rival was Xi Wan, but she had just announced that she was leaving the industry, so now she had no competition at all. But now that Xi Wan was sitting there, Jiang Ran still felt a little uneasy.
The system said excitedly in Xi Wan’s mind, [Jiang Ran is a good friend of the female lead, and you’re the investor now. As long as you take care of her a little and let her get the female lead role of this drama, she will feel that she’d previously misunderstood you. It will turn out that you’re actually kindhearted, and then you two will slowly turn from enemies to friends. This way, you’ll be one step closer to pleasing the female lead!]
Xi Wan’s lips curled into a smile. “I see,” she replied. “Got it.”
The system was rendered speechless.
Got it? Just like that?
When did Xi Wan become so obedient?
