Chapter 1153: 796 When the Time Comes, Heaven and Earth Unite Their Efforts (Requesting Monthly Votes!)

Jiang Chen’s speech made everyone very happy.

After finishing his speech, Jiao Xiaopao immediately came over again, still discussing the possibility of cooperation.

The success of "That Piece of Blue" inspired and excited him greatly.

He had been making movies all his life. But if you add them all up, they probably wouldn’t even match the box office of one movie.

Now, his only thought was that great talents were rare, but great patrons even rarer.

The only thing he was missing from becoming a world-famous name was an investor like Jiang Chen.

"If you invest in him, you might very well lose all your money."

It wasn’t until Shi Qianxi arrived that Jiao Xiaopao temporarily stepped aside.

"His earlier films were alright, but after becoming famous, he became more arrogant. His works became unrealistic, and he even blamed the audience, accusing them of not appreciating his art."

This assessment wasn’t necessarily fair, but it was certainly sharp.

"You don’t like him?"

Facing Jiang Chen’s gaze, Shi Qianxi casually said: "Do you think there’s anyone I actually like?"

Jiang Chen was left speechless.

Indeed.

Winning this Witch’s affection was probably harder than achieving the highest box-office return.

However, at least today, after the car accident, Jiang Chen had managed to earn her favor, probably because of his smart speech earlier.

Even though he used to be a scorned sycophant, it didn’t mean he had low emotional intelligence.

Miss Shi felt somewhat comforted by his recent emphasis on his presence.

"No wonder so many people love filmmaking; I didn’t realize it was so profitable."

Jiang Chen had been spouting nonsense earlier. Felton had indeed been introduced by her, but the so-called "support" was just nonsense.

At that time, her only aim was to keep Pei Yunxi, that vixen, away from her father. She hadn’t considered other aspects at all and even thought the other party spending three billion US Dollars was a complete sucker.

But reality showed her how shortsighted she had been.

"The attendance of ’That Piece of Blue’ has now exceeded a hundred million, and the total worldwide box office has already broken ten billion."

It’s entirely possible, even highly likely, to set a new world box office record.

That is to say.

One movie brought this man billions in return.

While all she had managed to do since taking over Jin Hai was to "maintain stability", she didn’t even increase earnings, and the spending had even increased compared to when her father was in charge.

Ultimately, it was no longer the time to be a protected young lady. If it were a year ago when she was carefree, she would have insisted on sharing the profits by now—after all, she used to borrow money confidently without repaying, but now Shi Qianxi hasn’t done so, even though she also owns CX Entertainment.

"Survivorship bias, losing everything isn’t unheard of. The audience today isn’t what it used to be. If you really produce crap, no one will pay for it."

This statement was undoubtedly borrowing the mantra of Director Jiao Xiaopao.

Shi Qianxi smiled.

"You really have the knack for business."

Inborn.

That means natural talent.

Just like studying, they say it takes 99% effort and 1% talent, but there’s an unsaid part to that.

Without that 1% talent, even 99% effort wouldn’t help.

Just like how hard work alone makes it difficult to get into Hua Qing or Kyoto University.

Every person on the rich list has a natural talent for business.

No one would say it.

But that’s the reality.

She now felt that this guy had exceptional business acumen, just like her own father.

"Don’t admire me; I’m just lucky."

Jiang Chen remained as humble as ever.

The same words had been said by Cao Jinse, and now this Witch repeated them.

Whether or not he had a business mind, Jiang Chen couldn’t assess himself, but as he said,

He felt he was quite lucky.

Investing in a virtual love game and going into movies had broken records.

Which made him think of a phrase.

Time comes when heaven and earth converge in unity.

"Luck" is profound, mystical, and indescribable.

Abroad, some even buy lottery tickets and win jackpots several times in a row.

Of course.

He wasn’t an "immortal" who could turn stone into gold; while at Dong University messing with angel investments, aside from a virtual romance game, he experienced failures in other projects as well.

Yet, human nature is such.

It automatically overlooks the flaws of those who succeed.

"Fate is the excuse of the weak; luck is the humility of the strong."

Miss Shi uttered this philosophical remark and then took the initiative to say, "I didn’t participate in this movie, so you don’t need to give me any dividends."

Jiang Chen couldn’t help but give a wry laugh.

What’s the difference between this and a subtle hint?

A fine tactic of advancing by retreating indeed.

"I think you’re the one who has a head for business."

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

The movie’s success was an unexpected joy, but it’s no exaggeration to say that he currently doesn’t care much about the billions in revenue.

"Now, she has truly become a veritable money tree, don’t let her slip away easily."

Shi Qianxi looked towards Pei Yunxi, not far away.

Standing from different angles, people see others differently, naturally.

Jiang Chen also looked over.

"The Blue Expanse" has no doubt escalated its box office hit, lifting Pei Yunxi’s reputation and her current commercial value is evident.

As the saying goes.

Actors are ungrateful.

There are countless examples of celebrities turning their backs after gaining fame in the entertainment circle.

"She is someone who knows gratitude."

Jiang Chen said so.

Shi Qianxi, who had just had a drink with her, made no comment.

As the star of the wrap party, Pei Yunxi was busy the entire time; despite her usual aloofness, in such circumstances, it was impossible for her to distance herself from others.

Until a phone call allowed her to excuse herself, bringing some temporary peace.

The call was from Yang Ni, who had gone to Gangcheng.

"Yang Ni."

Pei Yunxi walked to a quieter corner.

She assumed the call was to congratulate her upon hearing the news, but that wasn’t the case.

"Sob..."

On the other end, Yang Ni didn’t speak, only the muffled sound of crying came through, as if she was covering her mouth with her hand.

Pei Yunxi, caught off guard, frowned slightly, "Yang Ni, what’s wrong?"

She wasn’t unfamiliar with her personality.

She never cried.

Fragile people couldn’t possibly make it this far in this circle.

Could it be a problem with the negotiation with her ex-husband?

Before Yang Ni left, they had met; she went to Gangcheng to deal with the custody of her child.

The usually independent and strong Yang Ni was abnormally sobbing incessantly on the phone, hardly able to utter a full sentence.

Pei Yunxi, knowing her well, sensed the seriousness of the situation.

She didn’t ask further, but simply said, "Yang Ni, are you still in Gangcheng? I’ll come see you."

One must show gratitude when someone has shown kindness.

At this time, what she needed most was company.

Although Pei Yunxi had left MiTang, Yang Ni was her mentor and one of her few close friends.

In such times, no one could remain indifferent.
