In the entertainment industry, everyone has been reborn, but who will be their servant?

Chapter 28 Millionaire
Qin Xuan's words were actually quite hurtful. As an actress, Liu Yifei has always wanted to be recognized.

The fact that people can accept the roles she plays is the greatest affirmation for her and something that makes her quite gratified. But now Qin Xuan has directly exposed this fact, saying that he is just a pretty face.

"I don't have many friends. Since I came from the countryside, you're the only one who considers me a friend. I might say something hurtful, but honest advice is hard to swallow. I still want to change something for you, even just a little bit. Although the methods aren't honorable, I don't think I've done anything wrong." Qin Xuan's tone softened a bit.

He noticed that Liu Yifei's expression was somewhat unnatural.

"It's alright, you're not wrong."

Liu Yifei forced an unnatural smile, stirring her coffee with a spoon, and said, "Don't you have any friends? Aren't those people with you your friends?"

"No, they're just my business partners. I don't owe them anything, and they don't owe me anything," Qin Xuan said.

The only person who could treat him as a friend was Liu Yifei. She gave him money for hotel stays and treated him to meals without ever asking for anything in return, and even took the initiative to say that they were friends.

“Then you must have family, right?” Liu Yifei looked at him.

"Yes," Qin Xuan said, referring to his uncle's family.

Liu Yifei nodded and said, "Actually, I think my role is pretty good, and I enjoy playing it. Although my brilliance may be overshadowed by Brother Hendrik Willem Van Loon and Brother Jeremy Lin, at least people can recognize my efforts through this role."

"Audiences don't care how hard you work; they only care about the quality of your work. There are plenty of hard-working people in this world. Does Andy Lau not work hard? People will still say he's bad, even if they don't want to," Qin Xuan said.

Liu Yifei shook her head: "You're just saying this from your perspective. From my perspective, I think I should act in it and take on the role. Regardless of whether the role is good or bad, or whether the work is good or bad, I will do my best to play my role well."

Even if the final result is not satisfactory, I will accept it calmly and stick to my decision.

She is well aware of her situation. Does she think that if she doesn't take this role, there will be other roles for her to play?

It's as if she has a lot of resources to choose from.

Many people are just talking without understanding the situation. A film of the caliber and star power of "The Forbidden Kingdom" is one that you might not see again for several years in the entire film industry.

Some people will never meet such a person in their entire life.

Qin Xuan was speechless. She knew what she was doing and wasn't as naive and innocent as she appeared.

They have their own ideas and principles.

"Let me tell you, you're a criminal now, and I haven't forgiven you yet. You said you'd treat me to something, but I'm going to order the most expensive thing." Liu Yifei changed her expression again, smiling broadly and becoming lively.

“No problem, I’m a millionaire now,” Qin Xuan said with a smile.

"Oh my, where did you get the money?" Liu Yifei was quite surprised.

"The investors' money, isn't that enough to raise the funds?"

"You've raised the money so quickly? It's only been half a month!" Liu Yifei was quite surprised. When this person first told them about this idea, it hadn't been long.

"It's alright, it's already quite slow for me." Qin Xuan seemed quite smug.

Liu Yifei glanced at him, quite happy for him, and took the menu, saying, "Then I won't be polite."

"Don't be so polite. Being polite would be disrespectful to a millionaire like me," Qin Xuan said smugly.

"Look at you, I'm afraid you'll waste money, and those investors will beat you up if they find out," Liu Yifei laughed.

"It's alright. When you sign for the money later, I'll just take out 10,000 and tell them that you and your daughter gave 10,000 less," Qin Xuan said with a smile.

"You dare!" Liu Yifei pretended to hit him with the menu, but didn't manage to. The two were just joking; Qin Xuan didn't actually intend to use their money for anything.

In reality, it's very difficult for a film crew to keep perfectly clear accounts. It's quite simple: with so many people on set, how do you keep track of who drank an extra bottle of water or ate an extra bowl of rice?

A bottle of water costs a few cents or a few dollars more, a bowl of rice costs a few cents or a few dollars more, it's impossible to be that precise.

We can only say that there is a general idea within this range, so it would be easy for Qin Xuan to embezzle funds by falsifying accounts.

"Would you like something to eat or drink?" Liu Yifei called over the waiter to order.

"Just a cup of coffee will do. I don't like bitter drinks, I want something sweet," Qin Xuan said.

"Then let's have a mocha, it's sweet." Liu Yifei looked at him.

"Okay!" Qin Xuan nodded.

"One mocha and one cheesecake, please." After ordering, Liu Yifei handed the menu to the waiter, then held out her hand: "Let me see your contract!"

Qin Xuan took out a contract from his pocket, which consisted of several pre-arranged sheets of paper, and handed it over.

Liu Yifei took the book and glanced at it, then her almond-shaped eyes widened in surprise, and she exclaimed, "Three parts?!"

“Yes, the money you invest will be used to make three movies,” Qin Xuan said.

"You can make three movies with such a small amount of money? You're not just kidding me, are you?" Liu Yifei was very suspicious.

“If I wanted to coax you, I would have coaxed you out of more money. Why would I only coax you out of 50,000?” Qin Xuan said.

Liu Yifei thought about it and realized that there was a limit to how much she could invest. If she wanted to fool them, she could easily get tens of thousands of yuan.

She looked through the other terms and conditions and found that no matter what happened to the project, their funds would be in place.

"This is too good to be true! There's absolutely no risk in investing," she exclaimed in surprise.

“You’re investing in me because you trust me. I feel obligated to help you make money. If I can’t help you make money, it’s my fault,” Qin Xuan said.

"This is the first time I've seen such a good investment. Not only is there no risk, but you can earn the profits of three movies with just tens of thousands of yuan."

Liu Yifei had seen strange things before, but this was the first time she had ever seen anything like it. She said again, "You're not just going to take some random photos to get it over with, are you?!"

"We'll start filming this month, and you and your mom can come and supervise anytime," Qin Xuan said frankly.

"The relationship is almost ready." Liu Yifei was quite surprised; this man was really quick.

She flipped to the last page, looked at it, and seeing that there were no problems, she signed her mother's name with a pen. It wasn't her who invested; it was her mother.

She then handed over the contract and said, "The money will be transferred to the designated account shortly. Don't embezzle it, okay? I'm here to supervise you on behalf of my mom."

"Sure, your supervision is welcome." Qin Xuan took the contract.

Seeing his confidence, Liu Yifei was very curious: how did he manage to make three movies with just over a million yuan?

I estimate that it wouldn't even cover the cost of renting props and filming equipment. Three movies, three production cycles, and renting filming equipment would be a huge expense.

What she didn't know was that the filming equipment only needed to be rented once, and she only rented it for two months.
