Chapter 104 - 104 Investment
104 Investment
Hearing Ji Jun’s forthright tone, Yu Han’s eyes lit up. “Alright, you’re the investor. I’ll listen to you.” She took out her phone and sent a message to Bai Chao. [Our sugar daddy said that he needs to make a few changes to this script.]
Bai Chao had probably been staring at his cell phone, so he quickly replied, [My script doesn’t accept changes!]
Yu Han added, [He will add another five million yuan.]
Bai Chao was even more spineless than she had imagined. As soon as the message was sent, a video call came. “Aiya, Little Yu, it’s not like our script can’t be changed at all.” He rubbed his hands on the other end of the video. “We simply can’t change it blindly, right?”
Yu Han turned the camera around to face Ji Jun. “You tell him directly.”
Ji Jun instinctively raised his hand to block the camera. He only reacted halfway though before putting down his hand uncomfortably.
“This…” Bai Chao had already pounced in front of the cell phone camera, only revealing his big head. He even wiped the camera with his hand and looked at it carefully before asking carefully, “Is this Best Actor Ji?”
Yu Han moved her cell phone away in disdain. “Wipe your saliva.”
Ji Jun nodded reservedly.
Bai Chao chuckled. Aiya, the sugar daddy who invested in their small web drama, was actually Best Actor Ji. If word got out, he would probably be able to get more investments as he pleased.
However, Bai Chao was not an ungrateful person. Moreover, he had quite high standards when it came to directing dramas. Otherwise, he would not have chased CEO Zhao away. Hence, although he was happy, he did not want to casually pull in investments and let others criticize his drama.
However, this person was Best Actor Ji. After all, Ji Jun had paid for it, so he had to listen to what was going on. As for whether he would change the script after listening to him, that was another matter.
“Little Yu said that you’re not satisfied with the script. What exactly are you dissatisfied with?”
Ji Jun didn’t stand on ceremony with him. He flipped open a page and pasted it in front of the camera. “Why doesn’t the male lead listen to the explanation here and insist on thinking that the female lead lied to him?”
Bai Chao took a closer look at the camera before he could see which scene it was. “This is a quarrel to cause a misunderstanding between the two of them and improve their interaction.”
“It’s idiotic!” Ji Jun commented viciously.
The moment these two words were said, the smile on Bai Chao’s face froze.
“There are so many ways that can cause the two of them to disagree, but you chose such a retarded misunderstanding. This kind of illogical and meaningless plot will only look slow and long when filmed…”
Bai Chao’s expression darkened with every word Ji Jun said.
In order to prevent this collaboration from “dying before it even started”, Yu Han wiped her face and stood up. “Alright!”
As soon as she spoke, the tense atmosphere between the two of them eased a little.
Yu Han looked at Bai Chao first. “Old Bai, some of the plots here are indeed too melodramatic. It’s not impossible for us to make appropriate changes and make them more logical.”
Then, she looked at Ji Jun. “Teacher Ji, this is a young idol drama. It’s not some logical movie or suspense drama. The audience is more concerned about the sweet relationship between the male and female leads, so there’s no need for us to be so stingy with some details.”
At the mention of that, Ji Jun immediately had something to say. “So when the male and female leads meet for the first time, they have to hug each other and spin in circles. They have to kiss when they have nothing to do?” At the thought of what his assistant said the other day that Yu Han and the male lead looked like a couple, he couldn’t help but continue to say viciously, “You guys like to eat such industrial saccharin?”
Bai Chao had always been very satisfied with his script, but he was repeatedly criticized by Ji Jun. He could tolerate it once, but after two, three, and four times, he decided not to tolerate it anymore!
Bai Chao looked angry. “Teacher Ji, although you’re good at filming movies, you’ve never filmed a love drama before, so you don’t know how to film a love drama, nor do you know what young people like to watch these days. It seems that our aesthetics and opinions don’t match. If you really can’t do it, there’s no need for us to continue. I’ll refund you the money.”
Bai Chao sounded confident, but his heart ached terribly. It was so rare for him to pull in such an investment, but he had lost it again. If his wife found out about this, he would probably be chased out of the house.
Ji Jun stretched out two fingers. “20 million yuan, in addition to station broadcasts and webcasts. If you’re willing, stay. If not, get lost.”
Bai Chao’s anger froze. He blinked and was stunned for a few seconds before he realized what Ji Jun meant. He could not help but shudder.
