Chapter 507 - Chapter 508:
Moreover, Li Muyao had done almost everything according to the contents of the letters that Old Madam Huo and her father had written to her. Was there a reward? The reward was still a letter from his father?
Hearing Huo Jiling’s words, Li Muyao smiled lightly.”Yes, Ling, you don’t have to worry about me. Actually, I don’t feel too much pressure on the White House. That’s right. There are some secrets between Grandma Huo and me that you don’t know, and I want to know more about this secret.
I really don’t want to get engaged.
So, Ling, do you really understand what I mean? Of course, Ling, if you want to get engaged, you can tell me. I’ll seriously consider your opinion.”
Li Muyao wasn’t the kind of person who didn’t care about anything. Since she decided to date Huo Jiling with the goal of marriage, Li Muyao had been working hard to get along with Huo Jiling. The two of them could discuss any problems with each other.
“Mooncake, of course I understand you, understand you, and respect you! I support any decision you make, so there’s no need to discuss it. Didn’t Churan ask me to bring you the script?
Should he ask the director and producer out for a talk in the next few days? By the way, I heard from Chen Tao that a documentary is looking for investors recently. Do you want to take a look?”
An investment in a documentary was basically a loss.
Huo Jiling learned from Chen Tao that this documentary was only a ten-episode historical documentary, but it was already deemed a failure before it even started shooting. The company that had invested in it withdrew its investment after shooting two episodes.
As for why Chen Tao would bring this up to Huo Jiling, it was because many people in Jin City knew that Huo Jiling’s girlfriend, Li Muyao, was a rich fool who liked to invest in movies and TV series that others didn’t like.
Huo Jiling had checked on the documentary Chen Tao mentioned. The script and director were all influential old directors in China. More importantly, it was a complete collection of historical characters that Li Muyao liked.
“A documentary? What kind of speaker is he?”
Li Muyao still had money on hand. She should be able to invest a few million yuan into a documentary.
And since Huo Jiling specifically pointed it out, Li Muyao felt that it must be special.
“It’s about the history of the Northern Song Dynasty. Doesn’t Mooncake like the Northern Song Dynasty the most? There’s also some official history about the imperial concubines you like, as well as the unofficial history about Maode imperial concubine that you’ve always wanted to see. Of course, this part of the unofficial history would not be moved to the silver screen. However, this director wanted to make a documentary.
Then, he would shoot a TV series based on a novel about the Northern Song Dynasty. Moreover, it would be based on the emperor’s concubine. The content might have a lot of changes, and it would definitely be different from the real history.”
Yes, Li Muyao and Huo Jiling had talked a lot, so she naturally knew that Li
Muyao liked the history of the Song Dynasty, especially the history of the Northern Song Dynasty. She was even more interested in the most beautiful imperial concubine, Maode.
Speaking of the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, in her previous life, Li
Muyao had been idle for a while and read a female novel about the Northern Song royal family. The supporting character, Maode Imperial Concubine, was simply Li Muyao’s favorite. Unfortunately, whether it was Maode Imperial
Concubine in the novel or her in history, the final ending was especially tragic.
Once upon a time, when online novels were very popular, Li Muyao even wanted to write a novel with Maode Imperial Concubine as the main character, changing her ending to a perfect and happy one. However, in the end, Li Muyao only thought about it and never wrote it. After all, Li Muyao wasn’t the kind of person who had literary talent.
A few months ago, when Li Muyao was chatting with Huo Jiling, she accidentally mentioned the history of China. Huo Jiling asked which dynasty Li Muyao liked the most and which historical figures in that dynasty.
Li Muyao told Huo Jiling that she liked the Song Dynasty the most, followed by
the most beautiful daughter of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Maode Diji. At that time, Huo Jiling was shocked by this name. No, it should be said that Huo Jiling was completely dumbfounded. In his memory, there was no Maode Diji among the outstanding historical figures. Of course, Huo Jiling still knew that Diji meant princess in the Song Dynasty.
“Really? If Maode, whom I like, has a perfect and happy ending, then I’ll vote for this TV series. Yes, I can also vote for the documentary.”
Li Muyao was especially happy. She thought about the wish that she might not have been able to fulfill in her previous life. It was not bad that she had stumbled upon it in her rebirth.
“I knew you’d like it. I’ll make an appointment with them later. We’re free tomorrow afternoon.
By the way, Mooncake, if you like to invest in the entertainment industry, do you want to register a film and television investment company?”Huo Jiling also realized that Li Muyao was partial to investments in the entertainment industry.
He didn’t know if Li Muyao was really doing this to pave the way for Cai Mao to enter the Chinese entertainment industry in the future, or if it was purely an investment.
At present, the people in the entertainment industry were just watching Li Muyao invest in the movie project. The people outside, such as Huo Jiling, also helped Li Muyao analyze the investment. It might make money in the future, but it was not ideal. Of course, this was only Huo Jiling’s analysis of the current situation in the entertainment industry.
However, Huo Jiling also knew that whether a project in the entertainment industry could become popular or not was a matter of metaphysics!
Perhaps everyone thought that it wasn’t very good, but it suddenly exploded.
Moreover, Huo Jiling trusted Li Muyao’s investment judgment very much. Therefore, when Huo Jiling introduced this Northern Song Dynasty documentary to Li Muyao, even if Li Muyao didn’t invest, Huo Jiling also planned to invest. He also wanted to follow Li Muyao’s footsteps and enter the entertainment industry. He wanted to know more about the different Li Muyao.
“Register to invest in a film company? I’ve never thought about that before.
Now that I have the Dream Fulfilment investment company, it’s enough. Besides, I’m only investing money. I don’t care about the other operations in the entertainment industry. Besides, I don’t understand them.
I heard from Director Liu that such a pure investor would be more liked by the directors in the directing world.”
It was indeed as Director Liu Yiren had said to Li Muyao. The directors in the entertainment industry liked movies and TV series that they could make their own decisions. The people who could shake the entire show were the producers, the so-called investors.
The investor was the most important person in the entire film. That was why the directors, actors, and staff could not afford to offend the investor. However, if someone really invested in a film and only paid for it, then did not care about anything else and left everything to the director, the director would be willing to die from exhaustion!
No one can tell the director that they are acting in the movie, and that is simply the director’s god-like happiness.
The producer, the actors, or anyone else could not give orders. If the director wanted to use a newcomer, he could use a newcomer. If the director wanted the other party to work overtime, he could do so. If he could not use a stunt double, he could not use a stunt double.
When the director wanted the effect and the actor couldn’t do it, the director didn’t have to suffer. If he couldn’t act, he would just resign.
All in all, directors in the entertainment industry preferred a more normal and clean atmosphere. Li Muyao was a representative of this and was likely to be the most popular investor in the future..
