“Alright, hurry up and eat. I’ll go up and give Huo Jiling a massage for 40 minutes.”Li Muyao massaged Huo Jiling three times a day according to the doctor’s advice.

Before Li Muyao went upstairs, she said to Chu Ranran with a look of disdain,”Go back to the guest room and wash your face. Don’t put on that makeup in class in the future. Last night, you almost scared me and the nanny to death.

Also, go and change back into your own clothes. The nanny has already washed and dried them for you last night. You can ask the nanny for them later.”

Li Muyao had a lot of clothes, but she wasn’t used to people looking at her clothes, especially a rich young lady like Chu Ranran. Li Muyao always felt particularly awkward.

Forty minutes later, Li Muyao came downstairs and changed into a more formal set of clothes. She even put on a beautiful light makeup. Seeing Chu Ranran standing obediently beside Huang Yuying, Li Muyao’s face revealed a trace of satisfaction.

After they went to the building arranged by the Huo family, Huang Yuying said to Chu Ranran,’We have an appointment with Director Liu Renyi at the cafe opposite Chu Jixing.

Director Liu was not the only one who came today. His old partner, screenwriter Wang Hong, was also here.

Mu Yao, she plans to invest in this ancient mythical movie,” Ji Gong.” Ranran, it’s marked in the script that you brought. It requires an investment of 60 million yuan. Your Sister Yao is willing to get 50 million, but do you want to take some to make up the number?”

If Li Muyao hadn’t said that she wanted to play with Chu Ranran, Huang Yuying would never have said that to her.

Chu Ranran swallowed her saliva. Last time, Chu Ranran and Li Muyao had only invested 10 million each in their idol’s comedy movie. Now, Li Muyao had directly invested 50 million each. Wasn’t this amount a little too much?

Chu Ranran turned to look at Li Muyao, who had closed her eyes to rest after getting into the car. She knew that Sister Yao didn’t want to talk nonsense with her, and she also knew that her father should be the one paying.l The affair made Li Muyao sympathize with herself a little more, so she nodded directly, “I’m willing. I’ll personally invest 10 million. No problem.

However, Sister Ying, if I invest, I might need your help. After all, I’m underage, and I don’t want outsiders to know that I’ve made a profit from my investment.

“So, can you count the 10 million I invested on Sister Yao? When we make a profit in the future, you can just give me 80% of the 10 million. Sister Ying is Sister Yao’s financial manager. These operations must be no problem, no problem, no problem?”

Huang Yuying looked at Li Muyao after Chu Ranran finished speaking. Seeing that Li Muyao didn’t give any instructions, she shook her head and said, ‘”‘That won’t do. You don’t want others to know about it. You have to find a way to solve it yourself.

Actually, since Ranran is willing to invest, there’s no need to hide it. If you can let the people in your circle know that you have investment talent earlier, it’s also a good thing.

And the more capable you are, the better your future will be.”After all, Huang Yuying had worked for Huo Jiling for many years. She knew a lot about the company’s operations and the mentality of the executives and directors.

Seeing that Churan was silent, Huang Yuying didn’t say anything else. She felt a little uncomfortable, so she took out some sour horn cakes that the Huo family’s nanny had specially made for Huang Yuying from her bag and ate them. There were also some brown candy. They were all sour and sweet, suppressing the disgust.

After more than an hour, they finally arrived at the cafe opposite Chu Jixing.

Chu Ranran knew both Liu Renyi and Wang Hong, so she walked in front of Li Muyao and Huang Yuying and quickly locked onto Director Liu and Scriptwriter Wang, who had arrived early.

“Little Ranran, are these two your friends? No wonder. Please take a seat. I’m

Liu Renyi, and this is my old partner, screenwriter Wang Hong.”Liu Renyi was 52 years old this year. Five years ago, he had also acted in several movies that were extremely popular.

Many viewers would even buy tickets to watch the show when they heard the names of Liu Renyi and Wang Hong.

However, in the past five years, none of the movies that Liu Renyi had produced were good enough. He couldn’t even recoup the cost of the movies.

Therefore, the script for the movie,” Polar Palace,” had already been sought out by more than three investors, but no entertainment company was willing to invest in it. Not to mention, this investment cost 60 million yuan. No one was willing to throw their money away.

Yes, many people in the entertainment industry felt that the movies directed by Liu Renyi had no future prospects and were not worth investing in.

“Hello, Uncle Liu, Auntie Wang. Sister Yao is the investor who decided to invest in your movie. Her name is Li Muyao. The person beside her is her secretary, Huang Yuying.

Uncle Liu, you can tell Sister Yao about your thoughts on the movie. She also invested in a comedy movie called ” The Crazy Ring “. It should be completed in two to three months.”

Liu Renyi and Wang Hong both knew about the comedy movie, The Crazy Ring, that Chu Ranran mentioned. They could even be said to be familiar with each other.

“The comedy movie directed by Director Gao Wu?”

Liu Renyi was indeed very familiar with Gao Wu. Gao Wu had been the martial arts director in several movies. If the Gao Wu Chu Ranran was talking about was the person Liu Renyi knew, it should be the same person.

Gao Wu was a genius who turned from a martial arts director to a comedy director. Why was he called a genius?

Every time he wrote a script, no one was willing to invest in him. Instead, they were willing to pay a high price to buy the script and find other famous directors to film it. After Gao Wu wrote three scripts and all of them were shot by others, he was a little unwilling to sell the script to others.

Gao Wu had been looking for investors for the script of ” The Ring of Madness “. Just like Liu Renyi, he had been looking for investors for several months, but he had not been able to find any. However, a few months ago, there was a rumor in the entertainment industry that Jiang Chao had tricked a rich and useless young lady into investing in his script. Not only that, but he had also pulled in a very popular idol singer as the main character.

“That’s right. That ‘Crazy Ring’ that Director Gao shot was funded by Sister Yao and me. Of course, our Chu Jixing will also take over the follow-up publicity.

So, if Director Liu has any questions, just tell Sister Yao directly.

My Sister Yao is not a member of the inner circle, so when Liu Dao is explaining, don’t use inner circle language.”Chu Ranran did a good job in this aspect. She was the middleman between Li Muyao and Director Liu Renyi.

“Hello, Director Liu, screenwriter Wang. My name is Li Muyao. Actually, you don’t have to explain to me like Ranran. I really don’t know much about the rules of the entertainment industry, but I’m really interested in Director Liu and screenwriter Wang’s ‘Polar Palace.’

I invested in the movie, but I didn’t manage it. I really didn’t know anything about publicity or approval. Director Liu, you have to be responsible for those things.

Of course, if the 60 million yuan is not enough, Director Liu can tell me and I’ll add more money! “Li Muyao was determined to get the investment for this movie.

After all, this movie was one of the movies that Chu Lili and Chen Jiao were very optimistic about. It was also one of the highest-selling movies in 2005 that Li Muyao remembered in her previous life.

It was rare for her to be able to use her knowledge from her previous life to make money, so Li Muyao was more confident than before.

“Yes, Uncle Liu. You have to believe in my Sister Yao’s ability. Moreover, after my Sister Yao has invested money, she will definitely not care about how Uncle Liu shoots or what kind of actors are hired. “Chu Ranran knew that the director hated it when investors and all kinds of connections stuffed people into the production team.

If it was an actor who fit the role of the script, Director Liu and the others would be willing to accept it. However, most of the actors who were stuffed into the production team were either flower vases or people with connections who had zero acting skills. Such people could not be scolded or beaten, which really gave the director a headache.

This was also Director Liu’s least favorite habit, and it was also one of the reasons why he had not been able to get any investors.

For five consecutive years, Director Liu had been scolded as a lousy director, saying that he had run out of talent and would never be able to make a comeback. But he still followed a bunch of rules that were worse than sh * t.. Who would be willing to invest money to hire him to film a movie?
