Chapter 113 Chi Huangmao Explodes Gold Coins
"Ah, I'll add some more then."

Chi Ye was stunned for a while, then immediately nodded and said that this was far from enough and he had to add more.

"..."

The old lady didn't say anything and lowered her head again.

Chi Ye lowered his head, trying to see the expression on her little face.

"Teacher Chi!"

Jin Xia shifted her butt like a victim, turned sideways, and avoided Chi Ye's "tracking" gaze, and said with a grunt: "Well... well... at most 10 more games!"

Ikeno: "...You're fishing for me again? Are you fishing for me again?"

"What are you talking about, Teacher Chi? I didn't."

Jin Xia raised her head, her beautiful peach blossom eyes filled with smiles: "I'll just go along with you, whatever you say is what I will do."

Ikeno: "Now there is a problem."

He rubbed his hands in a feigned embarrassment. "We do have the script, but... the studio is a bit... short on money."

"Oh."

Jin Xia nodded obediently without saying anything.

Chiye: "?"

He coughed twice and said, "Also... there's the problem with this crew..."

He paused for two seconds, and seeing that Mr. Lafayette still didn't say anything, he could only continue, "I did solve one problem."

Jin Xia: “?”

She turned around and gave Chi Ye a strange look, then opened the bag she was carrying, took out a black card, handed it to Chi Ye, and said in a coquettish voice, "Here, this is for you."

"what is this?"

Ikeno asked pretentiously.

Jin Xia thought for a moment: "You support me with your money!"

Chi Ye rubbed his chin: "This... this is not good, this..."

"This is all my announcement fee, Teacher Chi," Jin Xia said sullenly. "This is the small amount of money I've saved for several years. I was planning to keep it as my personal savings... but I invested in our studio last time, and more than half of it is still here."

Chi Ye suddenly felt a little bit like a non-human. After thinking about it, he returned the card: "No, I can't take this money."

"Ok?"

Jin Xia was startled, then laughed: "No way, Teacher Chi, you believe everything I say? Hey, take it, I have several more cards like this!"

Chi Ye looked at her for a few times and shook his head: "You lied to me, this is the only one you have."

Jin Xia was even more shocked: "You figured that out?! You're so smart?! You're worthy of me... You're worthy of you, Teacher Chi!"

Chiye: "..."

He actually didn't see it, he was just lying.

"I think we can't put all our eggs in one basket."

Ikeno thought for a moment: "We'll pay for it ourselves. We still have some money left from Reboot, but as for the crew and the platform...can we find some other resources?"

We will make the money ourselves, but as for the establishment of this crew and the platform... well, although the two of us really don't have many resources, Director Liu has already agreed to bring his original crew to join the studio.

It would be enough to set up a crew and recruit some people.

But as the saying goes, look ten steps ahead before you take one step. Ikeno felt that he had to consider the problems at this summer's family...it would be best to win over the two existing "heads of the family".

People have indeed helped him a lot this year, so it's only right for him to give them some return and enter the domestic entertainment industry, right?
And to be honest, "My Love from the Star" has a relatively large investment and it is not an ordinary small crew. Ikeno and Jin Xia do not have much experience and connections in this regard, so they cannot achieve perfection.

Although the two "heads" of Karl Lagerfeld are not very good in the domestic entertainment industry, they should have a lot of resources in other areas.

For example, at this age, my aunt, who has been in Hong Kong for many years, should know many top idol groups in Taipei and other places.

"Oh, that's easy."

Seeing that Chi Ye was serious, the old lady stopped arguing with him. After thinking about it carefully, her peach blossom eyes lit up: "I got it!"

"any solution?"

Ikeno was quite looking forward to it.

"I'm going to get some gold coins!"

Chiye: "Huh?"

His focus was now very clear: "No, who did you learn this from? What's with the gold coins exploding? That sounds so ugly."

"I learned this from you, Teacher Chi. You told me about it before, and I wrote it down!"

Chiye: "..."

"Who are you going to blast?"

He thought Jin Xia would talk about taking away his uncle's gold coins. After all, his uncle had just acquired an entertainment company, which was quite large. It was a perfect takeover and the people were just there.

But Jin Xia nodded her chin and said, "First of all, you can't expose my uncle."

"Why?" Ikeno wondered.

"Because he brings bad luck!" Jin Xia said seriously, "Any project he takes a fancy to, invests in, or even helps will suffer huge losses! You're just starting out, and it's not easy to earn this little money by singing so many songs, so we can't let him in!"

Ikeno was shocked: "...Is it possible?"

"Of course." Jin Xia said seriously: "It's Auntie's!"

"Although my aunt is usually quite... unreliable, she's much better than my uncle. Plus, she's always wanted to enter the mainland market. I think this is an opportunity."

Chi Ye nodded repeatedly after listening to this, thinking that the arrangement made by the old lady was very thoughtful and smart.

Finally, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you sure you're not targeting your uncle on purpose?"

"No." Jin Xia flatly denied: "I won't target him just because he always scolded me when we were little and now he doesn't support us... us. Don't worry, Teacher Chi, I'm not that petty."

Chiye: "..."

Indeed, I am narrow-minded.

……

Ikeno and Konxia's "first entrepreneurial venture" was decided in a few words of "secret conversation" between the two.

In the following days, Ikeno waited for Director Liu to "forcibly terminate the contract" with his former company, waited for the announcement of this summer, and waited for gifts from his aunt in Hong Kong.

——A very experienced Taipei idol team + a list of contacts from major luxury brands.

This is another reason why Ikeno wants a "win-win" situation.

The costumes and makeup in the drama "My Love from the Star", especially the clothes worn by the male and female protagonists on a daily basis, are basically from major well-known luxury brands. If they didn't have someone they knew to do these, it would be a bit troublesome for the two of them to do it alone.

But for someone like Jin Sui, connections like this are given away almost without blinking... He has been an ultimate VIP black card customer for decades, and he can just borrow it casually.

There is really no shortage!
After learning the news, Jin Ming, who was also in the capital, was very unhappy and even "furious".

He called his sister again.

"Hey?"

Jinsui on the other side asked, "What's the matter?"

"Let me ask you, why did you help Chi Ye expand his territory?!"

"speak English."

"Then let me ask you, why did you help Chi Ye find someone and invest money?! Did you invest money? Do you want to lose everything?" Jin Sui was unhappy: "Who do you say will lose everything? What entrepreneurial genius, whose family gave him 200 million, ended up losing 300 million in less than two months?"

"You're really capable of giving away 100 million, business tycoon."

"After half a lifetime of entrepreneurship, I still lose money."

Today is red: "A good man never brags about his past achievements. What's the point of always talking about the past?"

"A loser shouldn't talk about the past... The money you lost was one-third of what I invested in you. If you have any conscience, you shouldn't yell at me!"

Jin Ming: "...Then you are my sister."

"Go away, whoever wants to be your sister can do it. Please tell me what you don't like recently, and I'll invest in it. Maybe I can even make some money back."

Jin Ming was very angry: "Don't humiliate me all the time. I also have self-respect, Jin Sui!"

"Anything else? If not, I'm hanging up."

I'm too lazy to pay attention to this mentally ill brother this year.

"...I'm very pessimistic about Ikeno's so-called project."

Jin Ming hurriedly said, "Just listen to my analysis! Don't hang up, listen to my analysis!"

Jinsui perfunctorily replied, "Then you analyze it, Wall Street tycoon."

"Haha, there's no need to flatter me like that."

Jin Ming smiled slightly and made a reasonable argument: "First of all, this Chi Ye, I checked it out these few days... He is not an actor to begin with, and his acting reputation is too bad. You said you are not an actor, but you are acting. If you have no acting skills, how can you not lose money?"

"anything else?"

"Secondly, and most crucially, what's his credentials? What's his track record? Six consecutive shutouts! Even Yue Na was autistic. He's a person with early-stage ominous symptoms. So, if Xia Xia plays with him, isn't that like searching for Mona Lisa's excrement with a lantern in the bathroom?"

"...Speak normally, don't be so disgusting."

"Look, it's indecent, isn't it? And you're still blaming me." Jin Ming sighed, "Finally, I really want to help Xia Xia. Xia Xia was trying to hype up some CP a while ago, and half of her fans are career fans. That's been declining, and her career hasn't been doing well in recent years."

"Only by starring in a big production like mine can she reach the next level, instead of starring in a drama with Ikeno that is destined to flop... Wait, let me think about this... Yes, she can't star in a drama that is destined to lack artistic value, poor viewing experience, and weak narrative and audio-visual presentation!"

Jinsui was greatly shocked when he heard it: "You really have a lot of tricks, ha, you have made great progress."

Jinming: “?”

Who is the brother and who is the sister?
"Oh, I know what you're talking about."

The jailer was truly heartfelt, and Jin Sui was speechless. He could only sigh, "It's just... seeing how proactive Xia Xia is... I can't help but help her. If it were you, wouldn't you help her?"

Jin Ming was silent: "I won't help, but I can consider letting Ikeno play the male ninth role in my big production!"

This year: “…6.”

She said, "Don't worry, I didn't invest much, so don't worry about losing too much. I mainly help them make up for the shortfall in funds. The rest is to help them connect with people and recommend a few teams... It doesn't cost any money."

"Not too much is good, not too little is right!"

Jinming breathed a sigh of relief. He called because he was worried that Lao Mei would have to pay too much compensation this time.

After all, he had experienced that feeling before, and Lao Mei's career wasn't going too well now. If she was tricked by Chi Ye again, then he... he could only duel with Chi Ye in a way that was full of poetry and cultural heritage.

Are your parents here?
"Remember, just be thankful for my current business acumen. You'll come back and thank me."

Jin Ming finished speaking and hung up the phone with a sigh.

Looking at the screen of my mobile phone, I sighed tiredly.

Yes, it’s okay if Xia Xia’s career doesn’t get better, but I hope she doesn’t suffer a setback because of this drama.

……

Xia Yu at the poolside didn’t know yet that there were two people who cared about them extremely...mainly the elders who cared about Jin Xia and were “worried about” them behind their backs.

A month later, when the crew of "My Love from the Star" was still preparing, Ikeno received a call from Director Zhang of "Loop".

——“Loop” has relatively few episodes, and the editing has been almost completed. Now we are waiting for the post-production special effects, music and other work.

It won’t be long before, after it passes the review, it will be officially scheduled for this year’s summer season, and the broadcast platform will be the previously agreed-upon Kuying.

As for why it's not Penguin Video or Kiwi Video, which have the largest audience traffic...

Need more to say?
Before hanging up the phone, Director Zhang urged Chi Ye to record the OST. Chi Ye sent a message to Teacher Shi, and then Director Zhang asked curiously: "I heard that your next movie is a self-made pie?"

To build your own cake, in the industry, means to organize and invest in a new play by yourself.

Generally, those who can make their own cakes are big names in the film industry. They either transform themselves into directors, or directly invest behind the scenes and act as project producers. They have enough say and become semi-capital or even capital themselves.

For someone like Ikeno at his age, or even at his current stage of development...making his own film and television business...it can't actually be described as reluctant, but rather a bit of forced effort.

If one movie fails, then you will have nothing.

So Director Zhang was shocked and a little confused when he heard the news.

Is it necessary to be so "desperate"?

Regarding this, Ikeno said frankly: "Yes, it is a new film that I invested in myself, a collaboration between my studio and Hong Kong."

Director Zhang: "...The leading actress is Jin Xia?"

"Ah."

"...Awesome, really awesome! You even managed to get a popular young actress to be the female lead. Bro, I don't admit defeat to anyone but you in this regard!"

Director Zhang gave a thumbs up over the phone.

He really admires Ikeno's approach. It's so awesome. He can be so dependent on others as a gigolo. Never mind whether he will fail or not... Just say, with Jin Xia by his side, what does it matter if he fails a hundred times?
Still a hero!
"During Scream Night, I was already optimistic about you two... Oh, look, half a year has already passed..."

Director Zhang began to ramble on as usual.

When he had almost finished his rambling, Chi Ye casually asked, "Where did you get this news? Do you know everything now?"

"Nonsense, there are no secrets in this circle."

Director Zhang laughed, "But others may not know your acting skills, but I do. Brother, I support you! Wait until 'Loop' is released, and it'll blind their eyes!"

Chiye: "..."

After chatting with Director Zhang for a while, he hung up the phone.

“It’s finally going to air.”

Chi Ye was in a trance.

As my first work after my rebirth and before leaving Yuena, it started shooting at the beginning of this year and took three months to film. In fact, this speed is already very fast.

Generally speaking, before a TV series is broadcast, it is necessary to obtain a filming license. After filming, it is necessary to obtain a distribution license. Only after the content is reviewed and passed can it be confirmed to be broadcast.

This is what the industry generally calls "net logo".

The review speed for this thing varies, but Director Zhang took a shortcut. In order to pass the review as quickly as possible (sensitive content), he sent it to Haixi for review, which is well-known in the industry for its speed. In the north, it usually takes 50 working days to complete the review, but the policy in Haixi is within 25 working days, and the fastest can be 15 working days.

For this reason, the previous filing and filming locations of "Cycle" were all in Haixi.

After "Cycle" is edited and submitted for review, and after passing the review, we can discuss the broadcast schedule with the platform and prepare for large-scale publicity and promotion.

Yes.

Director Zhang has just said that although he is preparing for his new play, he cannot forget his "old lover".

When it comes to promoting "Loop" and making announcements, be sure to set aside time.

This drama is also Director Zhang's "comeback work".
