Chapter 410: Chapter 408: Is There a Problem?_1

"Whatever your requirements are, just say them!" Xu Tian hurriedly promised.

As long as she agreed to invest, not to mention one request, he would agree to ten, even a hundred.

Xia Ningxing replied, "Let me play the female lead."

Although just now Lu Fan had also arranged for her to audition, she had read that script, and the greasy, manipulative romance was really a headache.

Compared to this disaster film, that drama was just too hard on the eyes.

Xu Tian was taken aback, then excitedly nodded, "Of course, you can!"

Then, as if something came to his mind, he nostalgically said, "Miss Xia, you might not know, but when my wife was writing the female lead for this play, she modeled it after your appearance. She imagined what you would look like grown up as she wrote the female lead’s characteristics!"

Turned out this drama was tailor-made for her?

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but pause.

"If my wife knew you could play the female lead, she would be overjoyed," Xu Tian said, his eyes reddening as he spoke.

Xia Ningxing was not good at comforting people, so she simply patted him on the shoulder.

"By the way, Miss Xia, can your agent and company agree to you playing this role?" Xu Tian suddenly thought of this.

After all, artists have to listen to their company and agent.

If those two did not agree, the artist couldn’t just accept outside projects on their own.

Xia Ningxing answered him nonchalantly, "Don’t worry, I am the boss myself, the agent and the company have to follow my orders."

Director Xu: "..." Goodbye! He was the one who had spoken out of turn!

"Who would have thought that Miss Xia is already a boss at such a young age, remarkable, truly remarkable!" Xu Tian complimented.

"Low profile, low profile, please don’t mention it outside," Xia Ningxing gave him a ’you know what I mean’ look.

Xu Tian was still someone who had been around the block and immediately nodded understandingly, "Of course."

Then he heard Xia Ningxing say, "Director Xu, then let’s settle it this way. I’ll invest in you and also play the female lead. Tomorrow morning at nine o’clock, I’ll wait for you at Giant Star Entertainment to sign the contract."

"Aye! Okay!" Director Xu instantly turned tears into laughter, nodding his head hurriedly.

No sooner had his voice fallen than Lu Tingli’s indifferent voice came from the front, "Now you can get out of the car."

"???"

Xu Tian was bewildered, somewhat puzzled, as there were many details they hadn’t discussed yet.

With her cheeks slightly red, Xia Ningxing said, "Well, Director Xu, we can talk about other matters tomorrow. Lu and I have a date right away."

After a light cough, Xu Tian immediately pushed open the car door, "Sorry, sorry for interrupting, remember to have fun."

As he watched them leave, Xu Tian couldn’t help but smile at the evening sun not far away.

This smile was in anticipation of a better tomorrow.

The next morning.

The staff of Giant Star Entertainment saw a strange middle-aged man wearing a suit and tie being led to the meeting room by the receptionist.

Tao Tao glanced at Xu Tian inside and couldn’t help asking everyone curiously, "Who is this guy?"

Advancing with his gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, Lu Fan came over, "Insider information, the boss is going to invest in his movie and also play the female lead."

Last night, Xia Ningxing had informed him over the phone about this agent who wanted to make a disaster movie.

The script had even been sent to his inbox.

He had seen it, and it was ok!

"The contract is ready," said Lu Fan as he waved the signing contract he had just received from Lawyer Qin.

Blinking, Tao Tao asked, "How much did the boss invest in total?"

"Twenty million," Lu Fan replied.

"Ah? Twenty million? That much?" Tao Tao’s eyes immediately bulged in disbelief, "What kind of movie is this that it can use so much cash!"

Crazy!

Seeing her astonished expression, Lu Fan couldn’t help but curl his lips, "It’s a disaster film."

"No way, aren’t disaster films only made abroad? Can we even achieve those effects?" Tao Tao was even more shocked now.

So were the others.

It wasn’t that they looked down on their own people, but the development of Star Shine’s movies was very slow; they hadn’t even achieved ultra-high definition, and now they were planning on making such high-end disaster films...

It was like forcing a child who hasn’t learned to walk to run!

So how could they accomplish that!

"As long as you put your heart into it, and are willing to splash the cash, why can’t we produce effects like theirs?" Lu Fan was very clear that their slow development was not just because of technology, but more importantly, they all spent money on actors’ salaries and didn’t value special effects.

As they were speaking, Xia Ningxing had arrived.

Tao Tao and the others quickly said in unison, "Boss, good morning!"

In the company, they would all uniformly call Xia Ningxing boss.

"Good morning." After smiling and greeting them, Xia Ningxing entered the conference room.

Lu Fan, holding the contract, followed in as well.

"Boss Xia." Seeing him enter, Xu Tian quickly stood up from his seat.

As Xia Ningxing sat down at the head of the table, she nodded at him, "Take a seat, Director Xu."

"Hello, Director Xu, this is the contract. If Director Xu feels there is no problem, then we can sign it," Lu Fan said as he stepped forward and placed the contract in front of him.

After looking at it, Director Xu signed his name without any objections.

"Pleasure doing business." Once he finished signing, Xia Ningxing extended her hand.

Director Xu shook it politely, likewise saying, "Pleasure doing business."

Afterwards, Xia Ningxing released his hand. The thought of needing to make changes to the script suddenly crossed her mind, and she turned and gave Lu Fan a look, "Lu Fan, go and call Ruan Ruanruan in, I need to talk to her."

"Ok," Lu Fan responded and went out.

Before long, Ruan Ruanruan walked over.

"Boss, you, you were looking for me?" She came over, slightly nervous, with a look of confusion in her eyes as if she didn’t understand why Xiaxia called her in during the signing.

"Don’t be nervous, have a seat," Xia Ningxing said when she saw sweat on her forehead, looking like a little schoolgirl afraid of being scolded by her teacher, she couldn’t help laughing and patted the chair next to her.

"Boss, just tell me what you need," Ruan Ruanruan’s heart was fluttering nervously.

Xia Ningxing took out the screenplay from her bag and pushed it towards her, "The latter part of this script is not very well-polished, you will modify it and be the screenwriter for this movie."

Although she could do it herself, such professional work should be left to professionals.

Xia Ningxing would not forcibly take on everything herself.

Besides, Ruan Ruanruan also needed to hone her skills.

"Ah!?"

Upon hearing this, Ruan Ruanruan was stunned, her mouth gaping wide enough to fit an egg.

Xia Ningxing frowned, "What’s wrong, is there a problem?"

"I, I’m afraid I’m not capable enough, and it’s too great a responsibility for me," Ruan Ruanruan twisted her fingers, her head bowed, a look of insecurity on her face.

She could sense from Lu Fan’s tone that this script was going to be great, but as a college freshman screenwriter with no experience, how could she suddenly take on the lead screenwriter role.
