380: Chapter 380: A Big Star?

Still Sassing!

380: Chapter 380: A Big Star?

Still Sassing!

Bai Fengling was in a panic.

Her words completely lost their measure.

Wu Jie was truly dumbfounded, somewhat confused.

He never dreamt that such words could actually come from the mouth of the big star Bai Fengling.

“Wait a minute!”

Wu Jie frowned and interrupted Bai Fengling, asking in astonishment, “What did you just say?

I have other conditions?

Do you think my demands are excessive, that I’m just blackmailing the production team to arrange for a beautiful actress to take good care of me?”

Bai Fengling shrugged her shoulders.

“Don’t blame me for being too direct because that’s just the way it is in the film and entertainment industry.”

“The producers, advertisers, sponsors—anyone who can influence a film production and play a crucial role in the casting of actors.”

Pausing slightly, Bai Fengling found a chair to sit down.

Wu Jie exhaled a ring of smoke and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

“What exactly are you getting at with that?

Are you suggesting that I’m causing trouble for everyone, hinting that all the major productions need to send me female actresses to entertain me, and then the funding won’t be an issue?”

Bai Fengling replied with a laugh, “There’s no one else here, and I won’t tell President Tang about it.

If you really have such an idea, you could have just told me directly!”

Wu Jie said sweating profusely, “From the sound of it, if you weren’t famous enough and had no backing, could I have taken advantage of you today?”

“In theory, yes, but in reality, it’s impossible.

With my current fame, I no longer need to be exploited!”

Bai Fengling said bluntly, “And the reason I wasn’t exploited in the past is that not everyone is as lucky as I am, suddenly becoming an overnight sensation and immediately taken under the control of the Xu Family of Liuli City.”

Wu Jie laughed quietly, speechless.

Seeing Wu Jie silent with a smile, Bai Fengling teased him,

“Don’t take it to heart, I was just talking about the industry’s insider information with you, with no intention of malice!”

“Actually, it’s nothing exciting.

Being beautiful with a great figure has devalued you significantly.”

“Just like my friends in the circle say, in reality, the positions they can do exceed your imagination!”

Wu Jie responded with a sheepish smile, “Then, what do you think is the reason why I’m giving all the major productions a hard time?”

Bai Fengling sighed, “It’s definitely not because you’re angry at those eight people for being indiscreet, nor are you the type to take advantage of female actresses, so I believe it’s absolutely about money!”

“You’re not embezzling, asking for kickbacks from the production team.

Instead, you want the money you invest to be spent wisely, to be put to good use, not to be squandered or pocketed by others!”

“After all, you were sent here by President Tang, and you two are a couple.

Her money is your money, and carrying out such a massive investment, you rightfully should manage the risks.

But the nonsense of those eight people just now really left you flustered!”

“Making you unsure whether the ten billion you pour in would all result in trash, and all that money would be wasted!

And precisely because you care so much about the substantial amount of money that must bring investment returns, you’ve prepared for the worst-case scenario, which is not to invest a single penny!”

Wu Jie’s brows furrowed slightly as he sized up Bai Fengling with half-closed eyes.

Looking at her, beautiful as a fairy with a transcendent aura.

But when it came to monetary interests and industry secrets, she was incredibly astute.

Wu Jie suddenly felt that Bai Fengling hadn’t wasted her years in the film and entertainment industry.

Her dark, shining eyes had seen through far too much.

Wu Jie nodded slightly and laughed,

“Investment carries risks, I can’t just recklessly throw money at them because they came begging for a meal!”

“If I really gave in, I’m afraid they’d thank me to my face and curse me as an idiot behind my back!”

“And what about your stance?

I used to think we were on the same page, but now I realize that you’re always considering the drama crew!”

Bai Fengling sighed and said, “As a matter of fact, my thoughts are the same as yours, I don’t want to invest rashly or spend money like it’s nothing.”

“But now I’m discussing this from a personal stance with you, do you know what it means if eight drama crews get cut?”

“Hundreds, even thousands of people will lose their income because of this, especially those extras waiting outside under the scorching sun!”

“It’s not easy to make a living in this big city; even with acting, they only make a hundred or two hundred yuan per day.”

“You come from humble beginnings as well, you’ve also suffered under the pressures of life, you should have some compassion, right?”

Wu Jie chuckled, “Compassion?

Society is cruel, the life of an adult doesn’t come with the word ‘easy.'”

“Asking for my compassion is like telling me to throw my money away!”

“Since you’re so full of compassion, why don’t you use your own money to finance the films?”

Bai Fengling was instantly at a loss for words.

“No answer, right?

Don’t tell me you think it’s easy for the corporation to make money, that ten billion is like ten yuan to them, that it doesn’t matter if it’s all lost, so you want to persuade me to rob the rich to help the poor?”

Wu Jie asked with a sneer.

Bai Fengling bit her red lips, her gaze somewhat evasive.

“It’s not easy for anyone to make money!

Do you think I’ve become unsympathetic to the vulnerable now that I have a comfortable life?”

“You only see the surface, not what goes on behind the scenes!

It’s like how you think my blockbuster is hugely successful, but do you know it was almost crushed by a siege?”

“The pressures of societal survival are immense, and the competition in business is even more brutal!

You think the group’s ten billion yuan can be squandered at will, but have you considered that if this investment fails, it could cause turbulence in the corporation’s cash flow, and if it goes bankrupt, that means hundreds of thousands of people will be without food?”

Having said that, Wu Jie tossed away his cigarette butt and stomped on it fiercely.

“Today, it’s lucky that I came.

If it were my wife Tang Xiao, she would have disbanded the crew already, and even cut ties with you!”

“Don’t think I’m scaring you or that I’m not giving you face!”

“In fact, if I weren’t giving you face, if I didn’t have sympathy for everyone, I would’ve left without giving anyone a chance to defend themselves!”

Bai Fengling raised her head, her eyes complex as she looked at Wu Jie.

“So what do you expect me to do?”

“It’s simple!

From your professional perspective, invest in what should be invested in, and resolutely cut what should not!”

Wu Jie changed his tone and smiled, “But don’t try to fool me into thinking I’m an idiot.

I definitely won’t invest in what I don’t deem promising, and I will advise Tang Xiao to not contract with you or give you any position after the company’s restructuring and buyout.”

“After all, with your compassionate heart, if the company is left in your hands, wouldn’t it be worse off than under Wang Taixiong?

At least he could contribute tens of millions in profit every year, but what about you?”

“I’m afraid you’ll only make everyone involved in filming rich while the company suffers heavy losses!”

Upon hearing this, Bai Fengling was instantly flabbergasted.
