Chapter 616  : A Sure Win Deal

However, as Tan Mo’s aunt, Xu Mingjing did not mention anything about it.

She called to talk about Yuan Keqing.

She didn’t say even a word about Tan Mo’s competition.

Xu Mingzhen suspected that Xu Mingjing did not know that Tan Mo participated in a competition at all.

Not to mention Tan Mo’s biological grandmother, Old Lady Xu, who did not care about it at all.

Thinking of the Wei family’s warm reaction, Xu Mingzhen felt even more disappointed in her family.

Xu Mingjing’s gaze changed, and she said, “Yes, this is Jinqi’s first movie. I don’t know how the results will be.”

Xu Mingzhen could imagine how Xu Mingjing knew about it.

Before this movie started shooting, it had established an official Weibo account.

The Weibo announced the cast and shooting plan for this movie.

Since Yuan Keqing wanted to be an actress, Xu Mingjing naturally paid attention to such news.

“I’m sure Jinqi will do well,” Xu Mingjing said with a smile. “I see that there’s still a second season after this season, right?”

“It’s hard to say. We have to see the results of this season’s results first,” Xu Mingzhen said lightly.

“Oh, I thought the investment was for several seasons,” Xu Mingjing said.

“How is that possible?” Xu Mingzhen was amused by her assumption. “The investors’ money doesn’t come from the wind. Of course, they want to see the results of the first season.”

“I’m sure the results will be good.” Xu Mingzhen smiled. “Sis, if there’s a second season, I’ll ask Old Yuan to invest, so my nephew won’t need to beg money from an outsider and make unnecessary compromises.”

“There’s no plan for a second season,” Xu Mingzhen said, “In fact, it was very difficult to get investment for the first season. He’s a newbie who hasn’t made any works. Few people want to invest in him for fear of losing money.”

“The filming funds currently are really tight,” Xu Mingzhen said deliberately, “If you want to help him, why don’t you invest now? My family has already invested 100 million yuan, but it’s gone before we see any returns.

“You guys can invest another 100 million. Although it’s not much, it’s better than nothing,” she continued.

Tan Wenci, who was driving, glanced at her when he heard her words.

Xu Mingjing laughed dryly. “This… Are things so bad? The drama has been shooting for a while now and the funds are still not enough? Then how can he continue the filming?”

“Alas, just like how you’re busy looking for a movie to shoot for Keqing, we can’t bear to see Jinqi discontinue the filming, right? We have to continue the investment. But it’s really not a small amount. Our family really can’t afford it.” Xu Mingzhen sighed deeply.

Tan Wenci glanced at her again.

Hearing her words, he almost believed it.

Then, he heard Xu Mingzhen say in a light and hopeful tone, “Mingjing, since you want to help your sister, I won’t stand on ceremony with you. Why don’t you invest some money too? I don’t want much, just 100 million. If Jinqi use it carefully, it can last for a while. For the previous investment, Jinqi was really frugal but still it was not enough. If you invest some money, you’ll be a great help.

“As you just said, Jinqi won’t need to beg outsiders for money. I thank you on behalf of Jinqi,” Xu Mingzhen said.

Xu Mingjing was shocked.

She hadn’t agreed to invest yet!

She had thought that if they could shoot the second season, then the first season’s results must be good.

If she invested a little in the second season, she would be able to earn it back. It was a sure-win deal.

She could also take the opportunity to establish connections with the entertainment industry.

In the future, she could find a way to arrange for Yuan Keqing to enter the cast with investment.

Right now, she couldn’t find a way to get her daughter into a cast even with a huge amount of money.

As an investor, she could get Yuan Keqing an important role.

The relationship between their family and the Tan family was no longer the same as before.

Whether it was Tan Jinqi, Tan Wenci, or Xu Mingzhen, they probably wouldn’t agree to let Yuan Keqing join the cast.

Until now, Xu Mingjing still couldn’t forget Wei Zhiqian’s revenge on Yuan Keqing, causing Yuan Keqing to fail her college entrance examination.

Xu Mingjing brought Yuan Keqing over to plead for mercy. She asked Tan Mo to talk to Principal Mu of Beijing University and make an exception to accept Yuan Keqing.

However, the Tan family refused.

Even Xu Mingzhen, her own sister, rejected her without hesitation.

Even after she found out that Wei Zhiqian had deliberately sabotaged Yuan Keqing’s college entrance examination to avenge Tan Mo, she did not feel the slightest bit of guilt. She even thought that Wei Zhiqian did the right thing.

She even chased them out of the house!

Xu Mingjing would never forget it for the rest of her life.

It was precisely because of this that Xu Mingjing was certain that Xu Mingzhen would definitely not help her on the grounds of the family relationship.

That was why she wanted to invest. Tan Jinqi wouldn’t be able to reject an investor’s daughter who was also an relative to enter the cast, right?

However, investing in the first season was too risky.

Just as the other investors were worried, even though Tan Jinqi was a famous director’s student, he wasn’t a famous director himself.

Who knew how much he had learned.

Among the famous directors in China, there were many who had sons, daughters, and disciples.

But there were only a few who had made a name for themselves.

As the saying goes: the master leads the way, but cultivation depends on the individual.

After all, Tan Jinqi didn’t have any previous works or experience of independent directing.

His first work was such a big production. It was natural that investors were worried.

The Yuan family was even more reluctant to invest in it.

What if the drama failed?

Tan family had to invest because Tan Jinqi was their son. Even if he failed, they had to accept it.

Moreover, even if the Yuan family invested in it, it was impossible for them to arrange for Yuan Keqing to enter the cast now.

Wouldn’t it be a waste of money?

Xu Mingzhen talked about investments of 100 million to 200 million as if it was 1,000 or 2,000.

The Tan family wouldn’t think it a lot of money, but the Yuan family would!

Why would they spend money without returns?

“This… sister, I have to discuss this matter with Old Yuan. I Can’t make the decision all by myself,” Xu Mingjing said, “Old Yuan has made some money over the years, but compared to your family, it’s nothing. It’s easy for your family to take out 100 to 200 million yuan, but my family doesn’t have so much money. Most of the money is invested in the company.”

“Is that so? Then dozens of million yuan will do.” Xu Mingzhen pretended not to understand and said, “You said you wanted to help Jinqi. As his aunt, you will definitely help him, right?”

Xu Mingjing had no choice but to say it directly.

She didn’t believe that Xu Mingzhen didn’t understand. Xu Mingzhen was just playing dumb with her..
