Chapter 156: Bottom out

Views:

Pei Yi placed the fish tank on the table. The waiter came over quickly. He didn't even raise his head:

"Same as her."

She only ordered a coffee, which was barely touched and had already gone cold.

After the waiter left, he pushed the fish tank in front of Jiang Se:

"Those, look."

There was a look of longing in his eyes. After all, the two of them were now in a 'living together' relationship. Although he was sleeping in the study, even so, the fact that they were living under the same roof already made Pei Yi very satisfied.

“I always feel like something is missing from my home.”

Pei Yi bit his lip, trying hard to hold back a laugh:

"So I bought two little turtles." When he was leaving school after class, he passed by a pet shop. The more he looked at the two turtles, the cuter they seemed. They were always in pairs, just like him and Jiang Se, never separated.

He carefully hid his thoughts, not wanting her to see through them, but he couldn't help but get excited:

"Do you want to give them some names?"

Seeing his enthusiasm, Jiang Se felt embarrassed to pour cold water on him.

She had never been interested in raising these pets. He watched with great interest the two little turtles jostling each other in the fish tank:

"How about you say someone called Ayi?" He quietly looked at Jiang Se's expression, with the corners of his mouth raised:

"How about a guy named Se Se?"

The two turtles were crawling around, looking very cute. Jiang Se stretched out his finger to poke them, but the two little turtles instinctively shrank their heads. He was startled and quickly moved away with the fish tank, a little anxious:

"You can't poke it! It's still too young. What if you poke it to death?"

He held the pair of turtles in his arms like treasures, but was afraid that Jiang Se would be angry:

"Sese, don't be angry. You are more important to me than them!" After saying this, he pointed at the turtles in the fish tank and said, "They haven't been named yet. Look, this one is called Sese, and this one is called Ayi..."

Jiang Se leaned over to take a look. The two little turtles looked exactly the same. She tried to look at them for a long time but couldn't tell the difference. She heard him still asking:

"OK?"

She didn't want to have the same name as the turtle and shook her head:

"Just call one Xiao Pei and the other Xiao Yi."

"..." He was a little depressed, and Jiang Se couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth.

"Did the talks go well at Century Galaxy today?"

The coffee was quickly delivered, and he changed the subject, pushing the pair of little turtles away to prevent her from poking them with her fingertips again on a whim.

Jiang Se reached out to stir the coffee on the table that had already gone cold. She never liked drinking this stuff, so after ordering a cup, she just sat there for a long time smelling the aroma.

She briefly recounted her conversation with Luo Ao at Century Galaxy today. She mentioned the three-year contract she had negotiated with Century Galaxy and said, "She said she would discuss it and call me later."

But for some reason, Jiang Se always had a feeling that Luo Ao would eventually agree to his request.

"Do you want me to help you put some pressure on you?"

He thought about it and realized that there were many ways to cause trouble for Century Galaxy and force them to submit. "I heard that they recently exchanged resources and spent a lot of effort to send a female artist named Tao under the company to Zhang Jingan's crew. It's a big production."

Pei Yi originally didn't pay much attention to the film and television industry, but because of Jiang Se, he inevitably paid some attention to it.

Jiang Se played a minor role in his first movie when he entered the industry, and he was in Zhang Jing'an's crew. When he heard him mention Zhang Jing'an, he stopped stirring the cold coffee in his hand and looked up.

People outside may not know much of this information, but Pei Yi will definitely know it.

"The investment for Zhang Jing'an's new movie has been finalized, and several of the investors are well-known overseas. In order to get this role, Century Galaxy exchanged a lot of resources, gave up a lot of benefits, and paid a huge price." Pei Yi pushed the steaming coffee in front of him to her, and took her cold coffee and took a sip:

"Or, I'll think of a way to prevent this movie from being approved in China in the future."

The coffee didn't taste good after it got cold, so he took a sip and left it alone.

China is a big country and a strong competitor in the international film market. In recent years, domestic consumption levels have been increasing, movie box office results have been very good, and industry insiders are also optimistic about the prospects for the development of the film industry.

No matter how famous Zhang Jing'an is or how powerful his appeal is, all his efforts will be in vain if his new film is banned from being released in China.

The losses of investors will be incalculable, and it will also be a huge blow to Zhang Jingan.

Most importantly, Century Galaxy's efforts to stuff people into the team may end up being in vain and result in heavy losses.

Since Pei Yi could say this, it naturally proves that he can do it.

"If he doesn't agree to your request, there are many ways to make him bow his head." He said this naturally, and Jiang Se closed the half-opened magazine in front of him and pushed it aside:

"No need." She lowered her head and smelled the aroma of coffee. "They will agree."

Thinking back to the meeting with Luo Ao today, since he mentioned that the company's chairman was willing to give up part of the profits for Chang Yuhu's sake, purely as a favor to Chang Yuhu, the two requests she raised at that time were not too much for the company.

The concerns raised by Luo Ao have been refuted by her. Even if she becomes famous three years later, she has no intention of terminating her contract with Century Galaxy. The contract will only be revised at that time.

As long as Luo Yin is not stupid, he should know that this contract does not cause any loss to Century Galaxy.

First of all, he could save Chang Yuhu's face, and he didn't have to bear the 10% commission of her for five years as he had originally planned.

If she could grow successfully and make money for the company within three years, Luo Yin could save at least two years' expenses by the three-year agreement she proposed.

And three years later, if she fails to make it big, the company will not be responsible for her future.

Although she might make more demands when the contract is renegotiated three years later, this is also a gamble for Century Galaxy. The next time they sign the contract, Chang Yuhu's face may not be enough, and she will have to rely on her own real ability.

The content of the contract three years later will be based on her own achievements by then.

"I can't understand why Century Galaxy would refuse."

If Century Galaxy couldn't even agree to her request, then she couldn't think of any reason to sign the contract and had to give up.

Pei Yi responded. When he mentioned the agency, he remembered something:

"By the way." His smile faded, "There is something wrong with this 'Feng Nan'."

"What did you find out?"

Jiang Se asked, Pei Yi's eyes were a little gloomy, and his upper body moved closer to her:

"Didn't you say last time that she introduced you to Jufeng Entertainment Media?" (To be continued)
