âMoney, itâs all money, Chaoqun! Donât you want the money?â Yang Boxi asked with a bit of heartache.
However, Xia Chaoqun raised his brows,âmoney?â I have a lot of them.â
Yang Boxi was speechless.
She was indeed rich. Aside from being born into a prestigious family in Hong Kong and having the identity of a high-ranking officialâs father, she herself was already quite rich.
She had the shares of century Galaxy that Luo Yin had given her, which was already a huge income every year. Even if she didnât work anymore, she didnât have to worry. It was because of these bottom lines that she was so confident in her willfulness.
âBesides, sometimes a temporary concession doesnât mean that youâve made a concession.â
She tilted her head, her face leaning on her left shoulder.
âSometimes I take a step back, not because I want to be magnanimous, but probably because of the run-up action before running.â
This was also the Enlightenment that Jiang se had given her the other day.
Luo Yin had given Jiang se a stack of resources the other day and asked her to pick a movie with a character similar to doukou in âthe occasion of Beiping. Jiang se had rejected him without hesitation. She did not compromise for the immediate benefits. It was not because she was unmoved by money. It was just that the immediate benefits were not enough to move her.
She had set her sights even further. Just as Xia Chaoqun had said, her temporary rejection was for the sake of better development in the future. She was not willing to give up greater gains in the future for such a small profit.
It was precisely because of Jiang SEâs choice that Xia Chaoqun decided to give up on Tao cen.
She knew better than anyone else what yang Boxi had said.
She knew how much Tao cen earned in a year. However, she was the one who had brought him up. Back then, she had been able to make Tao cen rise from nothing to something. Why couldnât she do it today?
She remembered that she had left home to study when she was young. While others were keen on shopping, dressing up, and having fun at parties, she was in the process of learning and expanding her network. Most of the students in the same school as her had gone back to take over their fathers âcareers or had shares in their own companies to live. They were young, but their paths had already been arranged for them.
Among Hong Kongâs socialites of the same age and year as her, almost all of them had been arranged by their families to have children. They lived an extravagant life, under the control of their families and husbands, and were imprisoned in the same circle, not daring to make any mistakes.
At that time, she had given up the path her father had arranged for her and entered the capital with passion. Everything she had today was all thanks to her own efforts. She didnât have to lower her head to beg others for pity or reach out to ask for money. She was independent.
She had not lost her will to improve. She was still ambitious and full of fighting spirit.
Although Tao cen was good and made a lot of money, and as yang Boxi had said, working with her might lead to a smooth future without any risks, it would be too boring.
âIn a personâs life, the unknown is the most fascinating.â
She flicked her hair and turned to look at Jiang se. She smiled again.
The assistant came in with a drink. Yang Boxi was deep in thought. Seeing her take the coffee and take a sip, he put the cup down again.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHow are you going to explain this to Tao cen?â
âExplain?â
She asked in return and raised the corner of her eyes, â âWho do I need to explain to?â
Xia Chaoqun corrected yang Boxi.
âI told her that I donât need her to agree to what I should do.â
The two of them had a cooperative relationship to begin with, and they would either get together or break up. When there was nothing on Tao cen that attracted her, she decisively gave up.
This was her usual calm and cold style, which was indeed in line with her personality.
Yang Boxi was a little envious of her carefreeness, but he could only think about it.
He had worked with Liu Ye for many years, but he was not as willful and carefree as Xia Chaoqun. The two of them had different ideologies. She was not a child, and she knew what she wanted.
She was a brave warrior who yearned for a tough battle, not a smooth sailing journey. She didnât need to convince anyone.
However, he still felt that Xia Chaoqun was taking too much of a risk.
Liu Ye, Jiang se, Zhao rang, and the others had set a time for the next official contract signing. They were also planning to have dinner that night. While Xia Chaoqun, Jiang se, and the others were not around, yang Boxi found an opportunity to talk to Liu Ye about this alone. He even sighed.
âChaoqun is acting a little rashly.â
Liu Ye didnât say anything. Yang Boxi thought of Liu Yeâs promise to Zhao Fang to act in âdemonâ and felt a headache coming on.
âYou agreed to Zhao rang too quickly.â
âRight now, a few foreign producers are interested in extending an olive branch to you. Jiang se is just a newcomer. Isnât it too much of a stretch for her to work with you? Itâs better for her than you, Yingluo.â
Liu Ye raised his hand and interrupted him,
sheâs a newcomer, but sheâs doing very well. Thereâs no such thing as being out of her League.
In this line of work, results and numbers were always the deciding factor. The box office of Jiang SEâs â event of Beiping â was her best asset.
but it wasnât easy for you to get the ticket to Europe and America because of ârescue missionâ. Itâs too risky for you to take onâ demon ânow.
Yang Bosi frowned and disagreed, â
brother ye, this is an opportunity that youâve been waiting for many years. Now that the opportunity is in front of you, why donât you want it? â
âI share the same philosophy as Chaoqun.â
Liu Yeâs words stopped yang Boxi. Yang Boxi asked, â
âWhat if âdemonâ doesnât do as well at the box office as we think? Youâll miss the opportunity then.â
if âdemonâ doesnât do well at the box office, it means that Iâm not qualified enough. Even if Iâm favored by foreign producers now and I donât have the confidence, there will be a time when Iâll return to my original state.
He agreed with Xia Chaoqunâs words. The short-term concession and the temporary letting go of the opportunity in front of them was not because they had truly given up. It was only because they still had more ambitions and were coveting a larger bread.
Yang Bosi shrugged and spread his hands, â
âAlright,â he said.
It was Liu Yeâs choice, and he had no right to ask. After all, yang Bosi did not have the right to ask for it given Liu Yeâs status.
Once the male and female lead candidates for âdemonâ were confirmed, everything else would be much easier.
...
Century Galaxy had the adaptation rights for âdevil â, and the most important thing now was to find investors.
In addition, in the post-production, they had to recruit suitable scriptwriters and assistant directors to form a crew. Then, they had to find all kinds of suitable actors in the script and negotiate the remuneration.
There were a lot of things to do after this, but these had nothing to do with Jiang se. After she convinced Liu Ye, she focused on the preparation work before the shoot.
She had discussed with Zhao rang and decided to film Zhang Yuqinâs later scenes first, leaving the earlier scenes for last.
Although Zhang Yuqin had suffered a lot in the early days, she still had hope in her heart, so her figure was not as thin as when she lost her daughter.
Jiang se had already lost 12 pounds. She planned to lose another three pounds so that she would be in the right condition for the shoot.
