Chapter 394: Chapter 394: I’ll Invest One Billion in Your Movie

Jiang Li said, "You don’t need to question it, just do as I say, and you won’t be disappointed."

"It’s getting late, I need to sleep. I’ve given you the solution; whether you accept it or not is up to you."

After saying that, she hung up the phone.

Shang Shaobai in the study fell silent.

He had heard earlier that Star Media planned to sell the rights of "Shining Transformation Trip."

At first, he thought it was just a misleading message from the Jiang family.

But now, Jiang Li’s words had certainly sealed the deal.

For them to decisively give up such a hot IP, there might indeed be some issues behind.

Rather than risking his own people, it might be better to find a way to persuade Shaojing to dip his toes into this water.

Reviewing the messages in the chat box, Shang Shaobai silently made a decision.

...

...

These past few days, Jiang Li’s schedule had filled up again.

Apart from the essential daily readings and studies, she had allocated several hours for strength training.

Jiang Yan merely laughed from outside the gym door before tragically becoming part of the hellish training.

Seeing the sandbags tied to his legs by Jiang Li, Jiang Yan fell silent.

"What does this have to do with me?"

Jiang Li glanced at him, "Don’t forget you’re also on the guest list for ’Wilderness Survival 30 Days.’ I don’t want others to mention me and say, ’Ah, you’re the sister of the guy who got eliminated on the first day of the survival show, right?’"

Jiang Yan: "...."

"Heh, a joke, how could I possibly be eliminated on the first day?!"

Saying that, as if to prove his point, he lifted his shirt to reveal his pale, well-defined abs.

"See that? Your brother is strong and robust."

At that, Jiang Li put down the dumbbells and let out a chuckle.

"Then try this."

"Fine, I’ll try."

Jiang Yan rolled up his sleeves, eager to give it a go.

Jiang Li made a welcoming gesture.

Jiang Yan lay down and grabbed the bar above him.

He gave a fierce upward lift.

The dumbbell didn’t budge.

Jiang Yan: ??

Was he holding it wrong?

He adjusted his position, exerting all his might again.

The dumbbell still didn’t move.

Jiang Yan began to question his existence.

A 185 cm strapping man couldn’t lift the barbell that a 165 cm young girl could?!

Jiang Li curled up her eyes, "Dear brother, do you need my help?"

Jiang Yan’s face turned red, "I don’t believe you—"

Then, he watched in dismay as Jiang Li bent down, grabbed the gap in his hands, and easily hoisted the barbell to his chest.

Jiang Yan: ??

Did Jiang Li have a jack installed in her hands?!

Just as he was baffled, the door to the gym was pushed open, and Jiang Ye stood in the doorway with a smile, "Miss, someone is looking for you outside. He said his name is Shao Changqing and that he had an appointment with you earlier."

Jiang Li nodded, "Alright, have him wait for me in the study."

"Okay, Miss."

As Jiang Ye left, Jiang Li turned back to Jiang Yan.

"Alright, continue your training alone; I’ve got a visitor to meet."

After saying this, she let go of the barbell and walked out of the gym without looking back.

Jiang Yan, stranded half-holding a dumbbell, unable to move forward or back, his legs tied with sandbags he couldn’t kick off: ???

"Not like that, don’t leave, what will I do if you leave?!"

"Jiang Li, come back!"

"Sister, dear sister, help me!!!"

Jiang Li went straight up to the study on the fourth floor.

Shao Changqing was already sitting inside, waiting, and he hurriedly stood up when he saw her.

Jiang Li looked him over from head to toe.

He looked completely different from the last time in the coffee shop, with his long, messy hair now cut into a refreshing cropped style, his beard shaved off, his ill-fitting suit replaced by casual gray and white clothing, and his shoes changed to clean, white sneakers.

At that moment, Shao Changqing didn’t look too bad.

His features weren’t profoundly sculpted, but they were clear and handsome.

The gloomy Yintang had now been replaced by a rich, glowing light.

Jiang Li nodded her head in satisfaction.

"Sit down, Director Shao."

Shao Changqing nodded and sat down opposite her, somewhat nervously.

Jiang Li glanced at him, then picked up the teapot in front of her and poured him a cup of tea.

"Don’t be nervous, treat this as your own home. We’re just chatting casually."

Director Shao nodded, exhaled a breath, and placed his briefcase on the table, then he took out a thick stack of A4 paper from it.

"This is the currently detailed script. You can take a look. If you’re not satisfied... we can terminate our cooperation."

Jiang Li picked up the script and began reading.

Director Shao thought she would just flip through it, but she ended up reading for an hour.

After reading through all the content, Jiang Li finally closed the pages.

"It’s quite good, as splendid as I imagined."

Director Shao let out a sigh of relief, somewhat excitedly said, "That’s great, then next—"

"I have some conditions. Would you like to hear them, Director Shao?"

"Okay."

"First, I will arrange the lead actor and actress as well as key supporting characters. You may keep your opinions, but the final decision is in my hands."

Director Shao was startled and visibly displeased.

It’s well-known that choosing the lead roles in a movie is critical and directly impacts the overall reception of the film.

Although he hadn’t started casting yet, he already had some preferences in mind.

Wasn’t Jiang Li’s intention just to place her own people in his movie to promote them?

How was that different from those boastful investors?

But Director Shao didn’t voice this; he just sat silently.

Jiang Li continued, "I will sponsor you under the title of producer—"

Director Shao’s heart sneered.

He just knew it.

A producer, wasn’t that just a way to control the director and the crew in different ways?

Director Shao stood up, about to say "Miss Jiang, we are not suitable for cooperation," but Jiang Li’s words reached his ears first.

"I will invest one billion in your movie."

Director Shao: ???!!!

"How much?!"

Jiang Li looked up at him, "What, is it too little?"

"No..." Director Shao froze, "Did you just say... one billion?"

"Yes," Jiang Li said.

Director Shao was even more stunned.

But he quickly calmed down.

Before coming, he had researched Jiang Li’s information. Although the Jiang Family was wealthy, the total assets of the entire family might hardly reach one billion, and a daughter without shares, how could she possibly come up with so much?

What he didn’t expect was that Jiang Li directly took out a bank card and placed it in front of him.

"This fifty million will serve as the initial deposit for our preliminary cooperation. After next month, I will give you another five hundred million."

"Additionally, you don’t need to worry about the lead roles and sponsorship anymore, it’s akin to having saved you a significant amount."
