"It’s already done," Xu Liubai said. "The post-production is complete as well. Thanks to Mr. Chen’s investnt, the review process for this drama was lenient, and many scenes were kept."
"That’s good." Chen Yiyang nodded, "Send a copy of the sample video, so I can take a look ahead of ti."
"No problem." Xu Liubai agreed without hesitation.
Generally, a drama not yet officially aired shouldn’t be shown to others except for the review version.
If it gets leaked to a pirating company, it could be catastrophic for the film company.
But with Chen Yiyang involved, these weren’t concerns.
Xu Liubai secretly thought that if Chen Yiyang’s side mishandled things and their version got leaked outside, it would be a blessing.
Then, in future productions, Chen Yiyang would have to compensate by investing in two or three more dramas.
"Are we late?" At that mont, people from Wanwei Animation and Golden dia arrived outside the private room.
"No, we’re early, just chatting away. I hadn’t seen Liubai for ages, so we’re catching up."
Chen Yiyang stood up and shook hands with people from Wanwei and Golden dia.
"This is Director Yang Yang." The representative from Golden dia introduced a woman accompanying them to Chen Yiyang.
"Hello." Chen Yiyang shook hands with the female director.
Chen Yiyang had heard of Director Yang Yang’s na many tis before.
Despite being a female director, she has worked on diverse genres, from family ethics dramas to historical war, urban romance, and fantasy dramas.
Many of her works like Ever Night, Mind Ga, nghua Record have gained popularity.
Chen Yiyang didn’t expect this female director to take on the filming of Ordinary People Cultivation.
"Everyone in the industry knows Mr. Chen values the quality of the dramas he invests in, so we brought Director Yang Yang over to explain her filming concepts directly."
"Sure." Chen Yiyang acknowledged the practicality of the representatives from both companies.
No need for further explanation; Chen Yiyang listened directly to Director Yang Yang’s ideas.
"One main reason I took on the Ordinary People Cultivation adaptation is the matured animated series of this great IP. Hence, for the drama, I’ll aim to closely match the animation.
Since the animation has proven to be well-received, the drama needs to trim and accelerate the pace based on the animation to suit the format of TV broadcast."
"How are the actors being selected?" Chen Yiyang asked.
"Not yet decided. If Mr. Chen has any recomndations, that would be wonderful."
If Chen Yiyang invests in this show, he would essentially specify at least one of the leading roles.
However, this show is a typical male-oriented web novel, with the male lead at the absolute center; as long as he can carry the show, it’s fine.
So Chen Yiyang considered for a mont and finally said, "I trust Director Yang Yang’s judgnt for the male lead. How about Song Xi from my company as the female lead?"
After several years of honing her skills, Song Xi’s acting is considered decent.
Offering a side female role in a male-centric show to Song Xi is reasonable.
After all, Song Xi’s face suits period costus quite well.
"No problem." Director Yang Yang agreed instantly.
"So, Mr. Chen intends to invest?" People from Wanwei Animation and Golden dia, upon hearing Chen Yiyang specify the female lead, realized he definitely intended to invest.
"Yes." Chen Yiyang nodded imdiately.
Upon hearing the director’s thod of filming closely based on the animated content, Chen Yiyang knew the show would at least not be bad.
The film industry dreads directors whimsically altering original works.
Shows fild faithfully based on IP are generally not bad.
After discussing details with Wanwei and Golden dia representatives, the cooperation was officially finalized.
Having finished discussions, since Zhang Yuling’s ho and Director Yang Yang’s place were nearby, Chen Yiyang decided to accompany Director Yang Yang on her way.
"Everyone in the industry says Mr. Chen is a righteous gentleman, I didn’t believe it before, but now I genuinely do."
In the car, Director Yang Yang suddenly spoke.
"What makes you say that?" Chen Yiyang was a bit puzzled.
He wondered how he qualified as a righteous gentleman. He wasn’t married yet, had no moral risk, but couldn’t even tell how many ’boats’ he was balancing.
"In the industry, whenever companies negotiate partnerships or investnt, they always bring along attractive actors to accompany them.
Those who just like to take advantage and indulge can even be considered decent. So investors have no intent to invest but make unreasonable demands.
Yet, everyone holds that when it cos to Mr. Chen, business is business, no extra services needed, isn’t that gentleman-like enough?"
Ah, that’s why.
Chen Yiyang chuckled, speechless.
In the film industry, despite having significant influence, he avoided playing around with stars or seeking their company for pure trust reasons.
There are good people in the industry, but given its general ethos, most actors try to seize all opportunities to climb up.
Once they latch on, it could be troubleso.
As such a young millionaire in a booming career phase, if Chen Yiyang gallivanted around the entertainnt industry.
It wouldn’t be him sleeping others, but others sleeping him.
Actors, given a chance, would cling to Chen Yiyang’s leg for life.
Chen Yiyang had no interest in embroiling himself in scandalous news during his career peak.
Throughout history, most notable people have arisen due to relationships.
Surrounded by beauties, why bother with the professional pretenders of the film industry?
Countless attractive young actors abound, yet young billionaires like Chen Yiyang are rare globally.
Therefore, Chen Yiyang asked Director Yang Yang, "So, given my status, if I have soone accompany , is it sleeping them, or them sleeping ?"
Upon hearing this, Director Yang Yang instantly realized her mistake.
She hurried to clarify, "I misunderstood, thinking in line with industry norms."
People within the industry who enjoy sleeping stars are common, but their assets are limited.
If a famous actress sleeps with them, even if she exposes them, little benefit is gained.
But if a famous actress has a history with Chen Yiyang and exposes it.
Opponents of Chen Yiyang would readily pay to support her.
So, Chen Yiyang wouldn’t be swayed by lesser desires to gamble on sleeping actresses.
