Sweet Wife in My Arms - Chapter 517

Chapter 517: A Supreme Team

The advancement software technology had encouraged the birth of this near perfect virtual spirit animal. The superior 3D effects had resulted in a wonderful representation on this film. She was able to predict that her version of Zhu Xiaoye was even better than the original, despite the fact that there were no changes to its story or writers. The only difference was the improvement she had made to the costumes, props and make-up of characters. The previous Zhu Xiaoye was a huge success, achieving unbelievably high ratings from the audience but its perfection was far from her version of Zhu Xiaoye.

She was certain that her drama would be a success, and it would not only grasp the throne of audience ratings on television, but also the internet, not to forget it would also propel its casts to stardom.

She was an executive producer this time but she had not forgotten about Yuelun, which was why she had engaged the latter for cooperative venture.

Li Changqing was surprised by this. He was happy that Yan Huan was finally able to stand on herself. He had also read through the script, and the storyline was new and captivating. However, he was worried at the same time. Yan Huan was trying to improve greatly on the visual effects, but if things went north, she could have ruined her own company.

He was still thinking whether to participate in the film, because not only did he need to fund the film, he also need to get his crew of people to be involved.

He could not make a decision on his own, so eventually he came face to face to Yuelun’s boss, who was his superior for opinion.

“I agree, why don’t we agree on this deal?”

Yuelun’s boss was questioning Li Changqing, “Tell me the reason why you don’t approve this deal.”

Li Changqing listed out his worries one by one to his boss.

“Why do you have to worry when she hasn’t even worry about it?” The boss asked Li Changqing, “Her worries are definitely more than what you can think of but she does not give up, she still gives it a go. As for why she gets into contact with us, do you think it is about the funding or she has no one to back her up?”

No funding? Li Changqing thought it was not possible at all. Yan Huan’s endorsement fees were very high and she was currently the ambassador for a few international brands. Besides, the motion pictures she was involved in had always exceeded expectations and she was crowned the queen of ratings. This was her status in the industry. As for her backers, there were not few. The Lu family, Lei family and Ye family were all her backers, who were too tough to be challenged.

Li Changqing also knew Yan Huan negotiated this deal with Yuelun because she was previously the company’s artist. She was inviting Yuelun’s participation in the making of her drama, though she could have done it all by herself.

That was right, what was he afraid of?

Li Changqing felt a little older now. He used to be very bold, but now he was worried here and there before making a decision. The longer he lived, the more he was not sure of his own thoughts.

Well, Yan Huan was not worried at all, then he should not be too. After all, it was Yan Huan who supplied more of the funding; he was just contributing a small part to it. She had made a lot of money for Yuelun when she was still their artist, his contribution to the drama was not significant enough if compared to what she had made.

Even if the drama failed in the end, it would not have caused much trouble to anyone because Yuelun’s actors were given a chance to play a role too.

Right now, he was no longer worried about the success or failing of the drama, because what concerned him the most was an opportunity to be seen on screen.

He hurriedly made a phone call. Those who were in business could understand the words being said would never reflect their own worries, but the surface talking was always well-ordered.

Yan Huan was clearly aware so she would not expose him.

This was the first project for Linlang, and the shoot would take place in Movie City. Yan Huan had only taken a few months off before going back once again to Movie City. After all these years of shooting, she had realised the need to make her own plans so she had rented out her own shelter during the shoot beforehand. As for whom she had chosen as director, she had found Director Kim. Director Kim was not only available but experienced in shooting fantasy genre, which made him the perfect fit for the role.

When Director Kim first met Yan Huan for the drama, he was thrown in a deep pool of feelings.

“The first time I saw you, I never thought you would grow this fast. Four years, it only took you four years to become a producer.” Maybe there was someone who had succeeded even quicker than Yan Huan but in terms of spotlight discussion, no one was able to surpass Yan Huan.

This actor was beyond limitations.

“Oh, Director Kim, you’re exaggerating.” Yan Huan was shy of the director’s remark. She was still the same if she recalled the past few years, but she also thought her success was beyond belief. Maybe that was why it sounded inconceivable to others too.

Who would have thought she would be shooting her own drama one day, using the cast of her dream, and even have her own name came after the word ‘producer’ on the credits, not to mention after her own company’s name too.

This was a summit she was not able to hit even in her previous life.

She came to a realization that the thing she wanted the most was actually a scene as such.

This fantasy drama did not undertake any huge promotions because all its funding was spent on enhancing its visual effects. However, for the cast of the drama, they were supreme–three award-winning actors were part of the drama.

They were Yan Huan, Liang Chen and Qi Haolin, but that was not the end, because Zhou Zizhe was also making a cameo appearance. The influences that these people had were enough to shake the entertainment industry up. They were cast members, but at the same time friends with Yan Huan too, which was why they did not bother about the pay they would receive for the drama. Liang Chen and Qi Haolin had been in a lot of performing works with Yan Huan and once off work, they were close with each other. If they needed help from Yan Huan, she would be there to lend a hand without consideration no matter where she was.

That was why they would not reject Yan Huan’s request to join the drama when she proposed.

As for Zhou Zizhe, that needed no explanation. It was she who helped propell Zhou Zizhe to stardom, though it was generally unknown to the public. Zhou Zizhe knew in his heart whom he should be thankful for because the drama he was involved in, ‘The Uncle and the Flower’ was produced by Yan Huan. Therefore, he certainly should return the favour and his involvement also brought Fang Ying into the picture.

Yan Huan was more than happy to have them both together.

However, Yan Huan had not expected on their day of arrival, an unexpected guest showed up in front of her, only with his baggage.

He placed his baggage down on the ground and slowly took off the sunglasses from his face.

He did not smile, but was staring blankly at Yan Huan in complete silence.

Yan Huan was surprised about his arrival because she had not seen him since their appearance on that reality show. Their paths were not the same because she was focused on film industry while he was more on music industry.

She thought she would never see him again since their last encounter at the show, and she had not even thought of meeting him on such an occasion.

Thus, there came an additional member to the team, a singer whose name was Song Xihua.
