Jiang Cheng looked at Yu Xiaoxiao upon hearing this and said with a smile, "Thanks for your hard work."
Seeing Jiang Cheng praising her in front of Su Wan, Yu Xiaoxiao shyly picked up the documents on the table. After looking at them, she said, "The Cat Demon makeup—you're talking about this one, right?"
Seeing Su Wan nod, Yu Xiaoxiao continued, "As for this 'Legend of the Demon Cat,' although the male lead hasn't been finalized yet, I heard Feng Xiaogang recommended Huang Xuan to Chen Kaige. The specific salary hasn't been settled. There are also Zhang Yuqi, Qin Hao, and others. To be honest, I recently spoke with Manager Chen from Xingchen Investment. The investment proposal for 'Legend of the Demon Cat' was sent to us at Xingchen, but frankly, I'm not very optimistic about this lineup."
Su Wan asked somewhat confusedly, "Why is that?"
Yu Xiaoxiao explained, "Although Huang Xuan's main film, 'Blossoms,' received a good response after its recent release, his popularity wasn't very high before that. If he hadn't been willing to accept zero pay, it probably would have been difficult for him to secure this opportunity from the director."
"Huh? Zero pay! I didn't know that," Su Wan's curiosity was piqued.
Yu Xiaoxiao continued, "This is an art film. To reduce production costs, these types of films usually choose newcomers or actors who aren't very famous. I heard the actors in this movie spent as long as half a year just training for various professional movements. For big-name actors, such long-term professional training is almost impossible. However, because this film is by Director Feng, some small actors and newcomers who want to make a name for themselves will seize this rare opportunity even with zero pay, banking on his reputation and strength."
Seeing Yu Xiaoxiao talk about the film industry, Jiang Cheng's thoughts were immediately pulled back to the blockbuster movies that had achieved great success in recent years.
He asked casually, "Xiaoxiao, are there any other film investment projects at Xingchen Investment?"
Yu Xiaoxiao shook her head gently and said softly, "Manager Chen has limited knowledge of the entertainment industry, so I've already communicated with her about this business. I can handle the vetting for film and television investments. I've screened some film projects currently waiting for financing. Would you like to take a look?"
Seeing Jiang Cheng nod, Yu Xiaoxiao immediately stood up, walked to the desk, and picked up a file.
"Here are several documents, all of which are investment letters of intent for TV series and movies scheduled to start filming next year. Look, the ones marked with an 'X' have basically completed their financing, so we no longer have the opportunity to invest."
Jiang Cheng took them and began to look through them.
He first noticed that the first one marked with an 'X' was 'Detective Chinatown 2.'
This wasn't hard to understand. After all, the box office of the first film was a huge success, so once the second one was launched, there would naturally be no worries about funding.
After picking and choosing through the files for a while, Jiang Cheng selected two movies, 'Dying to Survive' and 'Hello Mr. Billionaire,' as well as 'legend of fuyao' starring Yang Mi and 'Sweet Dreams' starring Reba.
"You're optimistic about these four? 'Dying to Survive' shouldn't be a big production, and to be honest, I'm not sure about this one. Although Xu Zheng's previous films have been hits, this subject matter is a bit sensitive, and the actors are all playing minor roles. As for you being optimistic about Yang Mi and Reba, I understand that. After all, following last year's 'Eternal Love,' the two of them are incredibly popular right now."
Su Wan, who was standing nearby, said with a slightly sour tone, "Sister Mi is indeed quite charming! I once attended an event with her, and her popularity back then was terrifyingly high! And most importantly, her figure is truly impeccable. Even Reba has a beauty full of exotic flair."
Seeing the strange looks from the two women, Jiang Cheng didn't offer any explanation. He just cleared his throat and said, "Which of you two isn't better looking than them? You two chat for a bit; I'm going to go talk to Chen Xueer."
After saying this, Jiang Cheng walked out of Yu Xiaoxiao's office.
Seeing Jiang Cheng leave, Su Wan hurriedly said a few words to Yu Xiaoxiao and then immediately chased after him.
Just as Jiang Cheng was about to reach the elevator, Su Wan came running up.
Noticing Su Wan's panting appearance, Jiang Cheng's gaze couldn't help but linger on those two Da Wanyin again.
His throat moved up and down unconsciously as he said, "I've noticed you're quite good at panting."
These sudden words made Su Wan's face instantly turn as red as a sunset cloud, and she instinctively covered her chest with her hands.
It had been a long time since Jiang Cheng teased her like this, so Su Wan was somewhat unaccustomed to it.
Moreover, because of Jiang Cheng's special status and position, Su Wan didn't dare to bicker with him as easily as before.
Seeing the playful smile on Jiang Cheng's face, Su Wan rolled her eyes inwardly. After trying to calm the waves in her heart and taking a deep breath, she asked, "Chairman Jiang, if our company decides to invest in movies, do you think you could give me a backdoor entry? I've never tried acting in a movie before."
Jiang Cheng looked Su Wan up and down, seemingly deep in thought.
"Well, we'll see about that. Nothing has been finalized yet."
