I Transmigrated As A Villain's Mother

589 A More Cost-Effective Business

“Do you think it’s inappropriate?”

“I just didn’t expect you to think of this so quickly,” Lu Gan shook his head. Song Ci had just taken over Sunshine Media not too long ago and had only been general manager for half a year. His original planned to let Song Ci adapt first and develop steadily before making plans for Sunshine Media. He did not expect Song Ci to take the initiative to step forward. “I agree with your idea. Although I don’t know what kind of director you want to sign, I believe in you. As for Sunshine Media’s investment in this movie, including Chu Yi’s starring and Fu Qinqin’s singing of the theme song, I have no objections. Though I have to remind you… This market doesn’t necessarily succeed just because you have an idea. It’s not that many people are incapable, but they just lack luck. So you have to bear the possibility of failure.”

Song Ci nodded. She had also thought of the worst outcome. However, she would definitely regret it if she did not try.

Lu Gan hugged her and said, “Go on, then. As long as you’re prepared, there’s no need to worry about the rest.”

Song Ci saw the support in Lu Gan’s eyes and nodded heavily.

Lu Gan kissed her on the cheek and smiled, encouraging her. “Don’t worry. At most, you’ll lose money, and with a husband so rich, that won’t be an issue. I’m just afraid that your expectations are too high, and you won’t be able to bear the disappointment.”

Song Ci leaned into his arms but did not say a word. She was used to being disappointed. Now that she had Lu Gan’s support, even if the results were bad, she would not be because she still had him.

Song Ci met Shi Mingyu and Qian Wu two days later, as promised. To her surprise, Qian Wu was not the kind of director who always looked serious and old. On the contrary, Qian Wu was very young and even a little handsome. If he were to act in a film, his looks would get him far. He exuded the arrogance of an artist, and his eyes were filled with arrogance. Song Ci was secretly surprised that such a person could have so many delicate thoughts.

As everyone’s objective was clear, there was no need for formalities. Song Ci looked at Qian Wu and said, “May I know more about this movie? For example, the investor, the budget, the scriptwriter, and the actors. I’d like to know more about them.”

Qian Wu already knew she would ask this, so he answered simply. “We haven’t confirmed an investor yet. With you as the main lead, it should be easier to find one. The budget is within fifty million. The screenwriters are Shi Mingyu and I. I’ll talk to the actors, but there won’t be anyone more well-known than you.”

Song Ci nodded before expressing her thoughts. “In that case, I’d like to help. Sunshine Media would like to invest and can add another 10 million to the budget. The scriptwriter will still be you and Shi, but I would like to recommend an actor. I can also find a professional in charge of the theme song. What do you think?”

“Why are you being so kind?” Qian Wu asked warily.

Song Ci did not hide it from him. “I really do think your script is good, and I like your shooting style very much. As you’re not well-known in the film industry, it’s a risk for me to take on this film. If this movie is filmed well, you and I will have representative works. However, if the results are not ideal, and I have to use my most popular months to lower my pay to accompany you to act in this movie, that would be my loss, so I want to make this deal a little more worthwhile.”

“How do you want it to be worth it?” Qian Wu asked her.

“For example, you can sign a contract with Sunshine Media. This way, this movie will be considered an investment by the company. Once it’s profitable, the company will also profit, and you and I will gain a reputation.”

“How are you so sure that Sunshine Media is willing to sign me?” Qian Wu was in disbelief.

“Why would I tell you this if the company wasn’t willing?” Song Ci smiled.

Qian Wu was even more confused now. “Don’t you think you’re in the wrong position to say that? Aren’t you just an actor?”

Song Ci took a sip from her tea and smiled. “I have a good relationship with the person in charge of Sunshine Media, and I hope that Sunshine Media can develop further.”

“Don’t tell me you have shares in Sunshine Media?” Qian Wu said casually.

“A little,” Song Ci replied humbly.

Qian Wu was speechless. There it was! What kind of employee would think so much about the company? Did the company belong to her? Looking at it now, it was almost the same. With the shares, if the company made money, she would make money as well.
