Chapter 96: Filming A Kiss Scene

50 million was not a small sum.

Although he was the heir of Hengyuan Real Estate, he couldn’t just cough up that sum casually.

Zhao Xinchen hesitated.

Glaring at him, Yan Jinyi said, “I’m not an unreasonable person. I was just thinking that the Huo Family can help you if you run into some trouble in the future.”

‘Huo Family can help us?’

Zhao Xinchen suddenly remembered that his father had praised an illegitimate son of his last night, and also intended to promote that person to the position of Deputy General Manager.

He felt a sense of crisis.

If the Huo Family stood on his side…

“Sure! Sister Jinyi, I’m not asking for anything in return. I’m willing to invest the 50 million on your account.”

Yan Jinyi raised her eyebrows a little and patted Zhao Xinchen’s shoulder. “Compared to Zhao Xinyue, you’re much less of an eyesore.”

Although Zhao Xinchen was a sloven heir who liked bullying the weak and feared those who were stronger than him, he was not incorrigible.

“Don’t worry, I promise you won’t incur any losses by following me.” After saying that, Yan Jinyi glanced at the cigarette boxes and liquor bottles on the table. “If you don’t want your position to be threatened and you don’t want the company to fall in the hands of outsiders, you need to first get rid of some of your friends who are harmful to you. That’s my advice for you.”

She had very few friends. In her opinion, those who were of no help to her or even sucked up to her only because they wanted to use her, should consider themselves lucky that she didn’t kick them away.

Staring at Yan Jinyi’s disappearing back, Zhao Xinchen opened his mouth and felt an inexplicable sense of admiration surging in his chest.

‘Is this the secret to Huo Zihang’s success in running TG Entertainment well despite being the son of a rich man just like me?’

‘I’ve learned something! Sister Jinyi is my savior!’

Huo Qingyuan looked rather unreliable, but she was much faster than Zhao Xinchen at raising money.

On the following day, Huo Qingyuan’s 50 million yuan was credited to the production crew’s bank account.

In the afternoon, Zhao Xinchen’s money was also transferred.

Tao Wei carefully held onto the bank card and stared at Yan Jinyi with tears in his eyes. “Jinyi, thank you and Second Young Mistress so much. Trust me, this film will be a big hit and we will succeed.”

Of course she trusted him.

Otherwise, why would she invest any money in it?

Yan Jinyi whistled like a gangster and said, “Get to work while I’m in a good state.”

Recently, the crew of Lin Chenggong’s film announced a piece of good news, and that was they had already clinched a cooperation with one of the best special effects teams that worked for Hollywood films. Besides, the CEO of Tang Corporation had also personally invested another 200 million yuan.

“Is Lin Chenggong crazy? He’s already spent a total of 800 million. He’s not shooting a science fiction blockbuster film anyway. Why would a costume film cost 800 million?”

Tao Wei looked at the news and was so angry that he stomped his feet.

There were many excellent special effects teams that worked for Hollywood films, and he managed to hire one at a high price only because he used various connections and got some favors from Zhuang Heng.

Yet, Lin Chenggong copied him and did the same thing.

‘Utterly shameless.’

“What’s the hurry?” Yan Jinyi was rehearsing her lines with Zhuang Heng. When she heard those words, she glanced at him calmly and asked, “Don’t you guys use a tactic that’s professionally known as campaigning?”

Clearly, Lin Chenggong had already gone overboard with it for the sake of undermining Tao Wei.

Local films that had a budget of 200 or 300 million would already be considered a huge investment. 800 million was indeed an exorbitant amount.

Most importantly, why would a trashy film like ‘Islander’ require 800 million yuan?

Tao Wei took a deep breath and said, “Jinyi you are right. I can’t get angry, I can’t get angry.”

The scene that was being shot today involved an ambiguous interaction between the male and female leads.

After confessing her feelings for Cang Yang, Lin Conggui was rejected because she tried to force a kiss onto him.
