Chapter 177 Strange Investment
"It's amazing. I've only been in the crew for a week, and you've already attracted investment, Director Chen? How did you do it?"
Chen Bingxia was embarrassed, "Well, actually it's all thanks to you!"
Qin Xi was puzzled, "How do you say that?"
"I've tried every other avenue, but I'm really at my wit's end. It suddenly occurred to me that some of the large brands you're working with also have the financial resources to invest. Besides, the fact that they chose you as their spokesperson means they like you and believe in your commercial value..."
"If I can get their sponsorship, they are not completely incompetent in the film industry, and they will not tell me and my team what to do. They are much better than those half-full film and television investors!"
"My partner? Which company invested in it?"
Chen Bingxia kept it a secret, "Guess it yourself!"
"It can't be 'Chenneng Technology'~"
Chen Bingxia's eyes lit up and she clapped her hands vigorously.
"You are really good, you guessed it right! It's 'Chenneng Technology'! How did you guess it? Did their PR tip you off?"
Qin Xi shook her head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Not really, but every time there's a brand that comes to our rescue, it seems to be Chenneng Technology. I can't think of anyone else except them."
Chen Bingxia was all smiles and talked incessantly.
"This is a timely help! This 'Chenneng Technology' is definitely in love with you! After I approached them, they acted so fast, as if they knew about it in advance! For such an important matter, I didn't even meet their boss, but they signed a shareholding agreement on the same day and directly invested 5000 million. With your 1000 million, although it can't be compared with a big production, it is enough to cover the small cost of [The Abyss and You]!"
Chen Bingxia became more and more excited as he spoke. When he thought about the funds being in place and the project being able to start immediately, he rubbed his hands with excitement.
Qin Xi, however, couldn't get excited, as he felt that there was something vaguely weird about the matter.
"You didn't even see the big boss, so who was going to receive you?"
"The director of their strategic investment department! He also said that their entire company loves you very much. The commercials you shot for Chenneng, especially the car, the Chenneng 520 commercial, sold out the car! Not only that, because of your high-end image and temperament, the level of this domestic car has been raised by several levels, and the long-tail effect has continued to this day..."
"Just because a few advertisements had good sales, 5000 million was given and the contract was signed on the same day. This..." Qin Xi still found it unbelievable.
As the saying goes, there is no business without fraud. Even if he loves her, it is only because of the additional benefits she can bring. If he only considers true love and ignores benefits, then "Chennai Technology" would have failed long ago. How could it have developed to its current scale, or even in the future, to such a large scale?
Qin Xi didn't believe it! The seemingly sincere and selfless help must have its unknown purpose.
But what are they after? Could it be that the boss or senior executives of "Chenneng Technology" are also as foresighted as she is, and can see at a glance that "Abyss and You" is a potential stock?
Chen Bingxia said indifferently, "Why do you care about him? At least this is a great thing for our crew. Song Jin's salary has been settled. Once the preparatory work is finished, we can start filming!"
"From the moment I prepared to start filming, I set myself a life creed: do good things and don't worry about the future! Let's just take it one step at a time. Thinking so much now is not only meaningless, but also adds to the troubles! Xiaoxi, let's encourage each other~"
Doing good deeds without asking for reward.
Qin Xi repeated this sentence silently in her heart. If it were in her previous life, this sentence might have worked for her, but after going through so much in her past and present lives, everything she lost and paid for must be valuable and have a reward.
In order to get what she wants, she must look ahead and behind, and think three steps ahead. Otherwise, wouldn't she be letting God down by giving her this second life?
"Oh, I suddenly remembered that the investment director also relayed a sentence from their big boss, saying that he really likes all the roles you have played and looks forward to you shining on the big screen and interpreting classics."

"Brother Lu, I know that the CEO of Chenneng Technology is Chen Qingbai. Can you help me check what his son, nicknamed 'Xiao Xingxing', is called, as well as his family background? The more detailed the better."
Lu Chuan: "!!!"
Qin Xi noticed that Lu Chuan's expression was a little strange, a bit like a "cracked" emoticon package on WeChat in his previous life.
"Brother Lu, is there a problem? Is my request beyond your scope of business? I took it for granted. After my experience with the Xiang Yangchun crew, I almost thought you were omnipotent..."
Lu Chuan's expression became serious. "There is no boss. I just feel... it's a little strange. We can check it out, but it may take some time."
Qin Xi shook her head and smiled, "You are the only one who finds it strange. I am even more puzzled. Chenneng Technology has helped me many times, and this time the amount is so huge. If they say it is for the sake of their children's idol pursuit, it is really unreasonable. If they want to get something from me, they have cooperated with me for 4 years and have never invited me to dinner once. It is really strange."
"So I have to ask you to find out the truth about this big boss. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. I'm sorry to trouble you again. You can take your time to check. I'm not in a hurry. I've already asked Xiao Fu to approve this month's bonus..."
-
Fu Yao's office.
"Lu Chuan, yours~"
Fu Yao handed the salary slip to Lu Chuan.
"So many?! Is this for a month?"
Lu Chuan was quite shocked when he saw the salary slip. This was definitely the highlight of his salary in more than 30 years.
Fu Yao said nonchalantly, "What's the big deal? The boss is always generous. The more you work, the more you get. After all, you have contributed too~"
More work, more pay? This job wasn't even half as hard or dangerous as his previous one!
It seems that he is really old and lucky, so he got such a good position.
Fu Yao saw that Lu Chuan's usually serious face finally showed some vivid colors, and couldn't help but tease him.
"The higher the bonus, the heavier the burden. Has your boss assigned you another important task?"
Lu Chuan: "..."
"Tsk, you look so nervous, I don't want to find out anything, Lu Chuan, do you really need to?"
Seeing Fu Yao's attitude, Lu Chuan actually felt a little unhappy.
"How old are you this year? The boss calls me Brother Lu. You are really disrespectful."
Fu Yao glanced at Lu Chuan with a smile.
"Hey, what era is it that still emphasizes seniority? If I call you brother, can you give me a piece of meat?"
This kid! He's too arrogant!
In this case, I have to take good care of him~

Extra small theater
Lu Chuan: What should I do? Boss Qin Xi is very perceptive and has asked me to investigate you. Should I investigate you or not?
Someone: Since I gave you to her, she is your boss. Naturally, you should do whatever she tells you to do. You just need to listen to her and don't need to report to me.
Lu Chuan: ...Are you sure?! Anyway, I have no problem. Then I can leave.
Someone: Wait! Let me...think about it...
Lu Chuan: Haha, I knew it!
