Jiang Cheng understood Yang Mi's intention: "So you want me to invest in the TV series she's starring in?"
Yang Mi nodded slightly in affirmation: "That's right. Right now, only you can save Reba. Although this incident might not completely ruin Reba, if Feng Gan intentionally makes things difficult for her, her career will likely stagnate for the next few years. She is already 25, and the coming years are the golden period of her acting career. Once she turns thirty..."
"I understand what you mean, but you also mentioned that Reba's situation is currently full of variables. Why should I risk investing in her?"
Jiang Cheng had indeed come today specifically to invest in Yang Mi and Reba.
However, the current situation had changed. Although Jiang Cheng wouldn't alter his original plan because of Feng Gan.
But since Yang Mi had just brought up the current circumstances, Jiang Cheng naturally wouldn't act like a fool being taken advantage of.
His response instantly left Yang Mi speechless, and Reba, standing beside her, showed an expression of deep bitterness.
"But didn't you confront Feng Gan face-to-face for her just now?"
Jiang Cheng curled his lips upon hearing this and said grandly: "I took action to slap Feng Gan's face purely because I couldn't stand him. But those are two separate matters. I am a businessman, not a philanthropist, understand?"
Although Yang Mi was internally annoyed by his words, she understood that only Jiang Cheng could offer Reba a lifeline now.
"In that case, Chairman Jiang, let's talk business. What conditions do you require to help Reba?"
As soon as Yang Mi finished speaking, Jiang Cheng immediately smiled.
Originally, he was still thinking about how to secure the majority of the investment for the legend of fuyao.
After all, Yang Mi was currently extremely popular, and the legend of fuyao was not short on investors.
Although Jiang Cheng had ample funds, Xingchen Investment did not yet have a single notable film and television investment project in the industry.
However, the legend of fuyao was undoubtedly a surefire, unmissable opportunity.
Regardless of the returns this project could bring, the sheer scale of the massive investment alone was enough to open the door to a new territory for Xingchen Film and Television Investment.
This would lay a good foundation for subsequent investments in other types of film and television projects.
"Your Company, currently, only you are capable. To put it bluntly, you alone support the entire Company. It's not impossible for me to invest in Reba, but she carries some uncertainty. How about this: buy one, get one free. I'll invest in your legend of fuyao, you make money for me, and then I'll invest in her as a bonus."
Seeing herself treated as a free gift in a 'buy one, get one free' deal, Reba instinctively pouted slightly.
This small gesture caught Jiang Cheng's eye, making his heart flutter; he found it somewhat playful and cute.
Yang Mi was seen frowning slightly.
She then seriously introduced the situation to Jiang Cheng: "The funding for legend of fuyao Film and Television is currently five hundred million yuan. You should be familiar with Penguin Pictures; as one of the investors in this production, they decided to inject 180 million yuan after continuously increasing their investment during this period. I, representing the Company, have invested eighty million yuan through salary and capital contributions. Furthermore, Xiangmang Film Channel has clearly stated they will inject one hundred million yuan. Calculating this, there is currently a funding gap of 140 million yuan."
"Only 140 million left?"
Seeing that Jiang Cheng seemed to find the amount too small, Yang Mi was surprised but continued to explain:
"That's right, there is indeed only 140 million left now. But don't worry, Penguin Pictures and Mango Pictures both have very mature channel platforms and rich production experience. Therefore, this investment amount is only preliminary, and it doesn't rule out the possibility of other investors joining later."
After listening, Jiang Cheng shook his head directly: "It's too little. I'll be blunt, I want at least a thirty percent stake. If the legend of fuyao requires additional capital injection later, Xingchen must also contribute according to this proportion."
As soon as Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Yang Mi immediately shook her head: "That's highly unlikely, almost impossible to achieve. Although the investment shares haven't been formally agreed upon yet, the signing intentions of these two major platforms are very clear."
To put it harshly, Jiang Cheng is entering last but demanding to take a share from the film and television companies that entered first. No one would agree to that.
Yang Mi paused slightly, then continued: "You should also know that Penguin Pictures has developed rapidly in recent years. For a production like the legend of fuyao, the subsequent distribution and promotional work rely on the support of these two major companies."
Jiang Cheng waved his hand, interrupting Yang Mi: "I don't care what method you use, my words stand: I want thirty percent. If you can do that, Reba's subsequent film and television investments will be handled by Xingchen. Once she is onboard my schedule, I will naturally take care of Feng Gan. How about it?"
As soon as Jiang Cheng finished, Yang Mi pondered for a moment.
Jiang Cheng didn't rush her, instead lifting his wine glass contentedly and slowly taking a sip.
Yang Mi didn't hesitate for long. She quickly nodded slightly in agreement: "Although it will be difficult, I will certainly try my best. I hope Chairman Jiang keeps his word. Reba will rely on you from now on."
After speaking, Yang Mi gently raised her arm, signaling to Reba next to her.
Reba understood immediately. She fumbled to pull a phone out of her small, exquisite handbag and, with slightly clumsy movements, held it toward Jiang Cheng,
She said, a little nervously, "Th-This... Chairman Jiang, thank you very much for your help. Could I add your contact information?"
Jiang Cheng was naturally happy to add them on wechat.
After taking out his phone, Jiang Cheng skillfully handed them his QR code.
Seeing this, Yang Mi also proactively scanned Jiang Cheng's QR code to add him.
At this moment, Su Wan, standing not far away, watched as Reba and Yang Mi successively took out their phones to add Jiang Cheng's wechat, causing her beautiful, willow-leaf eyebrows to furrow slightly.
