Huayu started from the Three Kingdoms period

"Junior brother, you're not going to leave me behind this time!" Yang Mi tossed her head.

"Okay, I was planning to ask you to come along anyway."

"Really?" Yang Mi was skeptical, after all, Xu Ying was the man who had rejected her the most. "Then what shall we eat?"

Xu Ying stroked his chin and asked, "You often film here, do you have any recommendations?"

"Yes, yes!" Yang Mi smiled happily when Xu Ying asked for her opinion. "Steamed buns with braised pork, fish head with vermicelli, scallion pancakes, etc., how about I treat you to some?"

"Okay, thank you, senior sister." Xu Ying replied quickly, calling her "senior sister" with exceptional fluency.

Yang Mi didn't think anything was wrong. "Wait for me, I'll call and reserve a spot right now. Luckily, there aren't many people filming recently, otherwise we wouldn't be able to reserve a spot at all."

Tsk, Yang Mi, the silly, big girl from the capital, before she evolved and turned evil, is quite interesting to be friends with.

Xu Ying didn't dislike Yang Mi, but based on his understanding of her, he knew that this older sister was very goal-oriented and would not give up until she achieved her goal.

Therefore, Xu Ying initially did not intend to provoke her, but after she kindly called to comfort him last time, he thought it wouldn't hurt to get to know her.

Besides, Yang Mi didn't do anything wrong. She just wanted his body, what's wrong with that?

To be honest, there aren't many people in this industry who have become as famous as Yang Mi later on.

The top celebrities in the entertainment industry have changed batch after batch, and stars have collapsed one after another, but Yang Mi has always remained standing.

He remembered that Yang Mi was banned four times later, but because she was so famous, people didn't even know that happened.

At this moment, Yang Mi suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "You just came over with Aunt Yu. Did she invite you to join her company?"

"Yes, but I refused."

"You refused again?" Yang Mi was anxious when she heard this. She grabbed Xu Ying's hand. "Why did you refuse? He's a pretty good person. If you work for him, he'll be determined to promote you."

"And given your circumstances, he probably won't let you off so easily."

Yang Mi revealed the expression that she understood Yu Zheng best.

Despite her words, she held onto Xu Ying's hand tightly and wouldn't let go.

Xu Ying was speechless. How could he take advantage of every opportunity to grope someone?

The woman below.

He calmly withdrew his hand. "I originally wanted to sign with the company, but I changed my mind."

Although Yang Mi and Yu Zheng haven't known each other for very long, it has to be said that these kinds of people often appreciate each other, and they both have a certain kind of persistent quality.

Yang Mi is like this, and so is Yu Zheng.

That's why Yang Mi later starred in "Palace" produced by Yu Zheng, and became a huge star as a result.

"I really don't understand you. I don't mind you rejecting Rongxin, but you rejected Yu Zheng too. Do you want to sign with Huayi or Tangren?" Yang Mi asked.

"Besides, what ideas could you possibly have? You're not thinking of opening your own studio, are you?"

After saying that, Yang Mi looked at Xu Ying's expression, paused for a moment, and said, "You don't really want to start a studio, do you?"

That's what I think.

She stood on tiptoe and touched Xu Ying's forehead. "You don't have a fever, so why are you talking nonsense?"

"Don't think you're famous just because you won a Magnolia Award. I'm so famous, but I haven't even started my own studio yet."

Setting up a studio was just to tease Yang Mi; Xu Ying wasn't confident enough to think he could acquire a lot of resources based on his current popularity.

However, this path is definitely feasible; it's just not the right time yet.

Xu Ying recently contacted the author of "Love is Not Blind" to purchase the novel's copyright.

At this time, the novel was still called "Novel, or Guide". Xu Ying expressed his intention to buy it, asking for 20 yuan, and invited the author to adapt the novel.

The author, Bao Jingjing, was pleasantly surprised and found it somewhat unbelievable. She even offered to take the film without charging him and told Xu Ying to go ahead and film it.

This is definitely not acceptable. To avoid any future disputes, Xu Ying made it very clear that he only wants the exclusive rights to the film and television adaptation, while the publishing rights still belong to Bao Jingjing.

Now all we have to do is wait for the contract to be drafted before we can sign the copyright transaction agreement.

So here's the problem: after signing with a company, making movies will inevitably be difficult, as it will be affected by the company.

It's good if the company can invest, but if it's a newcomer who wants to film, the company is most likely not to invest, since the risk is too great.

Xu Ying wasn't worried about investment at all. If he cast Jing Tian as the female lead, would he lack investment?

Let's put the studio thing aside for now; it's still far from being finalized.

As for investment, isn't there a great potential partner right here?

Yang Mi has been acting for so many years, and at this time she hadn't yet established her own studio, so her savings must be quite substantial.

Xu Ying looked at Yang Mi seriously and asked sincerely, "Senior Sister, are you interested in investing in movies?"

Yang Mi: "???"

No, you definitely have a serious illness, and it's not a minor one.

Yang Mi looked like she'd seen a ghost. She was just saying it was unrealistic for Xu Ying to set up a studio, and now he's suddenly going to make a movie.

"Not interested at the moment..." Yang Mi shook her head frantically, feeling like she was being watched by a vicious wolf.

Although she has a little money, she can't just spend it carelessly.

Xu Ying pulled Yang Mi down to sit, and said earnestly, "Senior Sister, look, isn't your 'Chinese Paladin 3' going to air soon?"

"Yes, it will premiere next week."

"Senior sister, let's be honest, if 'Chinese Paladin' becomes a hit, does that mean you'll become famous?"

"Of course! I'm even hoping this show will win an award."

"What if you don't win the award? Look at you now, you're still doing period dramas. How often do you play the lead role? Most of the time you're the second or even the third female lead."

"..."

"Everyone in the industry knows that if an actor wants to climb the ladder, it's not enough to just act; you have to secure some good projects! The little bit of money you earn from acting is better spent investing in a low-budget film than putting it in the bank."

"Is...is that so?"

Seeing that Yang Mi was somewhat tempted, Xu Ying pressed his advantage.

"Of course! Besides, you're not just an investor, you can also play the role of a trendy urban professional."

"When the audience saw this, they thought, 'Wow, Yang Mi can actually act in modern dramas!'"

"Hehehe, junior brother, what you said seems to make some sense."

"From now on, when people in the industry mention you, they won't just say 'actress Yang Mi,' they'll also say 'investor Yang Mi!' Good scripts and directors will come knocking on your door. This kind of connection is priceless!"

Yang Mi patted her chest forcefully, "Junior brother, just name your price!"

"Senior sister, stop drooling, it's about to drip on me."

"Oh, okay, sorry."

......

After a while, Luo Jin changed his clothes and came out. The three of them walked out of the film set together and headed towards the restaurant.

Xu Ying and Luo Jin walked ahead, while Yang Mi followed behind, all smiles, seemingly thinking of something happy, and occasionally bursting into laughter.

Luo Jin said with admiration, "Junior brother, you really have a way with things, and junior sister is also a reasonable person."

"Senior brother, you don't understand. She's just lusting after my body." Xu Ying exhaled a puff of smoke, shook his head, and sighed. "Boys must protect themselves."

"Junior brother's words are insightful. I will also protect myself."

"Uh, just don't be too protective."
