HuaYu: Starting with Photography to Navigate the Entertainment Industry

Xu Lang noticed the changing emotions on Cai Yinong's face.

He could also understand Cai Yinong's frustration.

but. . .

"What does that have to do with me?"

Xu Lang is not a soft-hearted saint. His experiences in two lifetimes have tempered his heart, making him ruthless and unyielding in some matters.

In particular, he had someone confirm that Tangren Media was suspected of fueling the rumors that smeared Liu Yifei.

After a moment's hesitation, Cai Yinong sighed, as if resigned to her fate, and said:

"Alright, Xu Lang, I've made my meaning very clear. Name your price for the copyright of 'Chinese Paladin 3'!"

"Should I name my price?"

Xu Lang shook his head.

"Mr. Cai, I think you've misunderstood something. It's not that I want to sell the copyright to 'Chinese Paladin 3,' but that you want to buy it."

It's not me who wants to set a price, it's you who needs to set a price, and you have to set a price that will make my heart flutter.

Otherwise, why would I be willing to sell?

Mr. Cai, is this the correct logic?

"you..."

Cai Yinong was speechless at Xu Lang's antics. How could this kid be so clever?

With fur attached, it's even smarter than a monkey!

But thinking about it, Xu Lang's words weren't entirely unreasonable. After all, it was Cai Yinong who was now begging to be sold.

She sat there taking several deep breaths before finally speaking:

"Xu Lang, I'm not going to joke with you anymore. I'll double the price, 160 million. In three months, your investment will double. Is that okay?"

160 million? Earning 80?

Xu Lang chuckled again, got up to pour Cai Yinong a glass of water, took a sip himself, and said with a smile:

"Mr. Cai, do I look like someone who's short of 80?"

I'd rather keep it myself, and then gather a team and film it for fun!

Upon hearing this, Cai Yinong became somewhat anxious.

"Brother Xu Lang, I have a ready-made team, and I even directed the first one. It would be perfect to continue the success of the third installment and capitalize on the popularity of the first Legend of Sword and Fairy."

If you take over, you'll have to start all over again, and there's no guarantee you'll make any money.

Don't you think so?

We make TV dramas to make money, we can't do things out of spite, right?

"Um."

Xu Lang nodded, agreeing with Cai Yinong's statement.

Then, he stopped teasing Cai Yinong and said directly:

"Mr. Cai, as you can see, I have quite a few people to support and I also need to find things for my subordinates to do, so please don't bring up the money issue."

Think about what resources you have to trade with me. Once you've thought it through, we can discuss this further.

All right?"

As he spoke, Xu Lang stood up, indicating that he wanted to see the guest out.

Seeing this, Cai Yinong knew that she wouldn't get anywhere with Xu Lang today, so she could only say helplessly:

"Okay, since you put it that way, I'll go back and think about it."

After seeing Cai Yinong off, Xu Lang said something to the door.

"Where are you? What's wrong? Come in."

"whee!"

As soon as the door opened, Yang Mi walked in with a smile and greeted her warmly.

"Brother Lang!"

Looking at Yang Mi's obedient appearance, Xu Lang felt a little uncomfortable.

In his memory, Yang Mi was always arrogant and confrontational towards everyone.

Looking Yang Mi up and down, Xu Lang smiled and said:

"Little East Evil, you're really popular now. You'll be a big star in the future, with unlimited potential."

Xu Lang was not joking when he said this.

With the current popularity of "The Return of the Condor Heroes," besides Liu Yifei becoming famous, the biggest beneficiary is Yang Mi, whose portrayal of the Little Eastern Heretic Guo Xiang is indeed outstanding and very likable.

Upon hearing Xu Lang's words, Yang Mi's eyes gleamed with an unusual light, filled with confidence, and her chest subconsciously puffed out, making her already full curves even more prominent.

She has an inexplicable confidence in her bones, and she feels that she will definitely become famous and popular in the future.

Therefore, Xu Lang's words were exactly what she wanted to hear.

Although she thought this way, facing Xu Lang and remembering Zeng Jia's instructions, she still humbly said:

"My achievements are nothing compared to the moon, like a firefly. They are insignificant."

"Ha ha!"

Hearing Yang Mi's rare modesty, Xu Lang smiled again.

"By the way, have you received your college admission notice yet?"

"I'm here, from the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy."

Yang Mi said with great pride, "From now on, if we buy from each other again, we'll be fellow apprentices."

At this point, she approached Xu Lang, took his arm, and spoke in a coquettish tone,

"Senior brother, you'll have to help me out a bit in the future!"

Yang Mi's soft, sweet voice sent a shiver down Xu Lang's spine.

Fortunately, he had used up most of his hormones on Liu Yifei over the past three days, otherwise he might not have been able to resist Yang Mi's sweet voice and cute appearance.

"Alright, stop shaking it, or it'll fall apart."

Xu Lang pointed at Yang Mi and said:

"Alright, tell me, what do you want from me?"

Don't worry, I'll agree to anything as long as it's not excessive, just for Zeng Jia's sake.

"Um."

Seeing that her cuteness had worked, Yang Mi was very satisfied and said with a grin:

"Brother Lang, I just graduated from high school and I'm going to college soon. I want to take some photos in school uniforms to commemorate this."

Many other people have taken pictures.

But I wasn't satisfied with any of the photos I saw, so I wanted you to take them for me.

Is it okay?

Lang-ge~~~?!

As Yang Mi spoke, she began to act coquettishly again.

Her voice was already thin and bright, with a metallic quality, and it had a Beijing accent.

Now, when she acts coquettishly, her little trembling voice makes Xu Lang feel like he's being electrocuted.

Xu Lang immediately surrendered.

"Okay, I'll take the picture, I'll take the picture!"

"Great, Brother Lang, it's a deal then."

"Okay, it's settled."

That's how it was settled.

After leaving Xu Lang's office, Yang Mi went to Zeng Jia's office.

Once inside, Yang Mi quickly grabbed a large glass of ice water and drank it down. After finishing, she kept patting her ample breasts.

"Oh dear, this kind of sycophantic, high-pitched speaking is really not something I can do."

Seeing Yang Mi's expression, Zeng Jia put down what he was doing, walked out of his desk, sat down in front of Yang Mi, and asked softly:

"How's it going? Is everything going smoothly?"

"Successfully, he agreed to let me take the photos."

"Um."

Zeng Jia nodded, then took Yang Mi's hand and asked:

"Honey, are you really sure? You really want to take this gamble?"

Upon hearing this, a determined glint flashed in Yang Mi's eyes.

Why not?

She said it with great confidence.

"I believe I am no less capable than Liu Yifei in any way. What she has, I can also have."

I know very well that what I lack right now is top-tier resources. If I were given the same resources as Liu Yifei, I definitely wouldn't be any worse than her.

At this point, she looked at Zeng Jia.

"Sister Zeng, didn't you say that Xu Lang can give me anything I want?"

If I succeed in this gamble, I can avoid years of hard work and obtain core resources much earlier.

Tell me, why shouldn't I?
