Chapter 574
Because up until then, she had thought that Tailor Feng was a wandering flower bush and would never really stop at a woman.
So, she could accept it, as long as she could actually become the Feng family’s second young lady.
But it wasn’t until today that she realized that she was wrong.
Others couldn’t tell, but she could tell that Tailor Feng had actually moved his heart towards that woman.
For what?
Why should the man who discarded her be able to turn around and look at another woman.
What’s wrong with her?
Sungaija disobeyed!
That reluctance is like a fire buried in the heart that needs just a little source of ignition to start a rushing fire.
She gritted her teeth hard and clenched her fists, staring at the picture on the screen.
It took a long time before I took a deep breath and pulled out my phone to make a call out.
“Hey, go find me someone who can do something for me…”
And now, the other side.
Evelin didn’t know she was already being watched by Song Jiajia.
Su Hong gave her a few days off, and in a short while, she would be going into the group with Xie Snap to make that suspense comedy movie.
Therefore, she planned to take advantage of the few days off to spend time with her mother in the hospital.
The St. Peter’s Bridge Hospital, where Kang Mo lives now, has the best facilities and environment in all of East Asia.
Plus, Tailor Feng had specially hired the best nurses for her, so there was no need for Evelin to worry about her life.
The only thing she’s worried about right now is the supply of Khamma’s heart.
Her blood type is so rare that she can’t have a new heart without a supply source.
Without a new heart, the disease would be like a curse that would come at any moment, hanging over them all the time, threatening to take Camma’s life away at any moment.
Evelin couldn’t accept this, so she always wanted to heal her mother.
That day, she was about to go to the hospital to visit Kang’s mother when she suddenly received a call from Jenny Jing.
Evelin was surprised.
Jenny would rarely take the initiative to contact her, after all, she was now taking care of the kids and managing the company, so she was actually very busy.
As for Evelin, as Starflight’s artist, the usual business had always been taken care of by Xiao He or Su Hong, and Jenny hadn’t really stepped in for a long time.
Is she calling herself at this time of the day?
With a puzzled feeling, Evelin answered the phone.
As soon as the call came through, I heard Jenny Jing smile and say, “Evelin, I heard that your mother is sick and in the hospital?”
It was impossible to hide the fact that Evelin’s mother was hospitalized from the company, so she had no intention of purposely hiding it from the start.
She hadn’t said anything before because Su Hong and Jenny hadn’t asked, so she hadn’t taken the initiative.
Later on, because of an incident, Su Hong knew about it and she didn’t intentionally try to cover anything up, so she wasn’t surprised that Jenny Jing would know about it.
Evelin gave a soft “hmm” and nodded, “Yes, what’s wrong?”
Jenny Jing smiled, “It’s nothing, it’s just that I heard that your mother is suffering from a heart attack, and it just so happens that I may have to make a trip abroad recently, the news about this heart supply source over in F country should be more and faster than in China, do you need me to ask around for you then?”
Evelin was overjoyed when she heard this.
It’s like pie in the sky, this opportunity.
How could she refuse?
She immediately nodded her head as if pounding garlic, “Yes, of course.”
Jenny smiled at her excited tone and said, “I should be over next week, I’ll contact you when I have news.”
“Good.”Evelin’s excited voice was almost trembling, she knew that according to Jenny’s personality, if it wasn’t for the news she already had on hand, it would never have been possible for her to call specifically to ask her.
Most likely, it was because she herself had been informed of the heart supply source, but wasn’t sure yet, and that was why she had made a special call to remind her.
Evelin’s eyes were a bit warm and moist, and it took a long time before she managed to calm down and said, “Thank you, Jenny.”
Jenny laughed, “What’s there to thank for this?Don’t think that I’m simply trying to help you, you’re now the first sister of Star Glory, the most valuable money tree I have, and I’m counting on you to help me make more money, but of course I have to make sure you don’t have any worries to worry about.”
That was obviously said to deliberately widen her heart.
Evelin naturally understood and was grateful.
She choked out, “I know, don’t worry, I’ll work hard and earn money.”
“Good, then I’ll take your word for it.”
They spoke a few more times before hanging up the phone.
As soon as Jenny hung up the phone, there was a knock on the office door.
Aoi walked in with a cup of coffee.
Jenny is now not acting and has been working at Serenity International, but instead of firing Aoi for that, she lets her continue to follow her.
Usually at work, the other person will teach her more and take her on if she doesn’t understand something.
As a result, Aoi, who could only help the celebrities with the rough jobs of serving tea and carrying clothes, has now become so smooth and considerate that she has become her right hand man.
For this change, Aoi didn’t know how grateful she was.
It was because of this that they felt even more guilty and blamed themselves for the wrongs they had committed against Jenny in the past.
Seeing that she had just hung up the phone, Aoi smiled apologetically and said, “Mr. Jing, I’m not disturbing you, am I.”
Privately though she calls Jenny as Sister Jenny, but now Jenny is no longer just in charge of the PR department, but manages the entire Anning International.
In order not to have a bad influence, therefore, Aoi had always called her Mr. Jing in the company.
Jenny saw that it was her who came in and smiled up at her, putting her phone aside and casually responding, “No.”
She took a sip of coffee and suddenly thought of something, and immediately asked, “Right, I’m going to go abroad next week, and I’ll handle the company’s affairs remotely at that time, so if there’s anything on this side, you remember to report to me in time.”
Aoi nodded evenly, “Okay.”
Jenny gave her another list of people on the table.
“Here’s the list of people who are going to the festival next week, you send a copy of the list to the artist department and one to the PR department so that they can prepare their shortlist in advance, and if they can make it there, try to still go to all of them, don’t go talking about unnecessary nobility at this point.”
Aoi opened the file and flipped through it at random.
Then he smiled up at her and said, “I’m just afraid the landlord and the others won’t be there.”
Luk Yin Chi?
Jenny frowned.
“Why?”
Aoi smiled, “Director Lu has been busy lately, saying that he wants to prepare a sci-fi movie, and the last time I passed by his office, I heard him and the screenwriter discussing it inside, so I guess it won’t be long before he’ll be coming to you to apply for a case.”
Chapter 575
“I think he’s very attentive to this and may not want to be distracted from going out to a film festival at this point.”
Jenny Jing sniffed and knitted his brows lightly.
This kind of film festival, although it carries a lot of weight, but as a famous director, Lu Yanzhi has no shortage of exposure and doesn’t need that much exposure, so it doesn’t matter whether he attends or not.
But….
He wants to make a sci-fi movie?
What do you mean?
Who doesn’t know that domestic sci-fi movies are basically like toxic.
If you make one film and jump on another, none of them will be profitable.
These days, domestic audiences, directors, actors, and investors alike, have basically lost all hope in the science fiction genre.
Because it’s not useful for which director is talented or which actor is good at acting, it’s essentially a technical problem that is impossible to overcome in a short period of time.
And now Lu Yanzhi is saying that he wants to make a sci-fi movie?
Is there a hole in your head?
Jenny rubbed his temples with a headache and said to Dao, “When did you hear him say that?”
Aoi thought about the memory.
Then before answering, “About three or four days ago, I walked by his office at noon and heard it.”
Jenny only felt his head hurt more.
According to her intuition, as long as it was something that Lu Yanzhi had already decided on, it was simply impossible to get people to change.
That’s a stubborn donkey.
Here, she waved her hand weakly, “Okay, I get it, you go down.”
With that Aoi nodded and turned around to go out.
Sure enough, not long after Aoi went out, Lu Yanzhi came in with a big stack of information and a smile.
The moment he saw him, Jenny’s eyelids subconsciously trembled, barely dropping his cup to the floor.
“Little Aunt.”
Lu Yanzhi smiled and walked in with a dog’s legs.
As soon as he saw that smile, Jenny knew that he must have come for the movie.
Headaches.
Jenny was not in a position to say anything more first, so he could only beckon him to take a seat in the chair.
“Landlord, can I help you?”
Lu Yanzhi has been signed directly by Anning International since last year, as the royal director of the film produced by Anning International.
So, in other words, Jenny was his immediate superior.
When Lu Yanzhi heard her ask, he immediately smiled and said, “It’s nothing, it’s just… something that I want to discuss with you.”
It was probably because he knew that he would be taking a great risk with this proposal, and could even be said to be somewhat unreasonable, so when Lu Yanzhi spoke these words, there was an unbearable guilty conscience in his voice.
Jenny Jing originally felt a headache, but when he looked at his attitude, he didn’t have much of a headache anymore, but instead found it interesting.
If he can make the famous director Lu Yanzhi feel so guilty, how big of a mouth is he trying to make this time?
So, Jenny wasn’t in a hurry, so he sat in his chair, looked at him with a good smile, and said, “Oh?What is it?Tell me about it.”
Lu Yanzhi rubbed his hands uneasily and hesitated for a few seconds before saying, “It’s like this, recently Old Xu and I, together we planned a project, and we’ve got the outline of the script and the most basic idea,?”
Jenny nodded.
Lu Yanzhi then flew out of the pile of information and drew a couple of sheets
Come out and put it in front of her.
Jenny took it over and gave it a cursory look.
Movie scripts will be relatively much simpler compared to TV show scripts.
Just a character profile, and a brief synopsis of the plot will do.
The rest is all up to the director to bring out the best.
After Jenny finished reading the entire script outline, he fell silent.
Honestly, the script isn’t really bad when placed in a domestic sci-fi movie, after all, the basic level is just that.
Only, if it did go like this, it would have been bound to take a big investment to get this movie to the level that it was written in the script.
Biden Lu is not short of money, and Serenity International has an adequate investment budget, but that doesn’t mean that you can just spend it freely over the years.
Since it is a company, naturally there is an input-output ratio and a return rate, although Jenny is the boss’s wife of Anning International, it is impossible to ignore everyone’s opinion and invest such a large sum of money into the project simply because she admires Lu Yanzhi and believes in him.
She put down the document in her hand, looked at Lu Yanzhi and asked, “You haven’t done any sci-fi work before, have you?”
Lu Yanzhi nodded.
“So why did you want to make this movie this time?”
At the mention of this, Lu Yanzhi’s face showed a few shades of regret.
“Honestly, I’m not afraid to tell you, you knew director Zhang Xin, who passed away last year, right?”
Zhang Xin, a little-known niche director in the circle, focusing on both genres, animation and art films, Jenny had seen one of his works before and thought the man was quite agile.
The work still has many flaws, but it has to be said that it is beginning to take shape as a famous director.
At the time she had originally been moved to sign people over to Serenity International.
Unexpectedly, before he could act, he suddenly received news that Zhang Xin had died suddenly at home because he was too tired from work.
This incident, because Zhang Xin was not much of a celebrity, had little influence outside the circle, and few people even knew of his death.
But within the circle, it caused quite a stir.
The profession of directing is sometimes hard work is really hard work.
The rewards are great, but the torturous road to fame before becoming famous is unimaginable.
Upon receiving the news of Zhang Xin’s death, Jenny Jing still regretted for a long time at that time, feeling that he could have been a rising star, but died young due to the fatigue of his work.
She was depressed for a while on those days, and then she got better.
Now, after hearing Lu Yanzhi mention this person again, it suddenly dawned on him that a full year had passed since Zhang Xin’s death.
There’s a sense of transience.
Jenny shook her head, taking her thoughts back and asking, “I remember him, why do you ask?”
Lu Yanzhi frowned, a hint of sadness on his face.
“I’m actually friends with him, he’s about ten years younger than me but we met a few years ago and he’s a very thoughtful, creative director who was just delayed because he wasn’t born at the right time, plus he’s high maintenance.”
“The script I’m showing you now is actually the idea he came up with at the time.Of course, I know what you’re worried about, and I had the same concerns you did when I heard him mention that he wanted to make a sci-fi movie.”
“As a mature director, we naturally can’t just focus on what we want to shoot and what we want to express without any regard for realistic deliverability and audience acceptance, so I’ve also advised him several times not to touch the project.”
Chapter 576
“It wasn’t until he said that speech that I was impressed, and I realized that he is the backbone of our Chinese directors and the reason why I admire him.”
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yanzhi recounted to Jenny the words that Zhang Xin had spoken to him at that time, originally without moving.
Jenny was shaken after hearing that.
It’s hard to imagine words like that coming from the mouth of a young director like that.
He said, “Over the years, Eastern science fiction films have been hung up by the West, not because we want to be hung up, but because we don’t have the mature technology, we don’t have the forward-thinking ideas, and he wants to be the first one to break the barriers, to lead Eastern science fiction films, to really come into the West for the first time, to show them that the East also aspires to the universe and canMake good science fiction movies.”
After Lu Yanzhi finished speaking, the entire office fell silent.
Jenny sat there, leaning against the back of the chair, for a long time without making a sound.
Lu Yanzhi didn’t rush her, just made a list of all the budget sheets, and what was needed, and put it in front of her.
Only after half a moment did Jenny Jing say, “You go back first, I’ll have to reconsider this matter.”
After all, it’s a $500 million investment, so sloppy work is not an option.
Of course, Lu Yanzhi knew that it would be difficult to fully persuade Jenny the first time, so he didn’t force himself, stood up, nodded, and turned around to go out.
Only after Lu Yanzhi left did Jenny really pick up the pile of information again and look through it carefully.
It was two hours later after reading the information.
Jenny stretched tiredly and stood up, moving his body.
I have to say, this project, just from this information, you can see that Lu Yan used his heart.
Whether it’s for a good friend’s last wish or if you really want to contribute to Eastern science fiction.
In short, it’s a viable project just by looking at the information.
Jenny thought about it and made a phone call to Biden Lu.
Biden Lu was in a meeting at the Lu Group’s headquarters at the moment, and when he received her call, he lifted his hand to stop a cadre of Lu executives who were reporting data, then stepped aside, softened his voice, and asked, “Jenny, what’s wrong?”
Jenny sat in her chair, rubbed her brow and smiled, “Did I interrupt your work.”
Biden Lu said in front of a large group of executives who were watching him and waiting for him to hang up to continue the meeting, “No, I just had some free time and was about to call you as well.”
All top brass: “…”
Jenny Jing smiled, “That’s good, there’s one thing, I’m a bit hesitant to ask you to help me with my idea.”
“Well, you say.”
Jenny Jing then told Biden Lu the truth about this project.
After hearing this, Biden Lu didn’t make any comments, but asked her instead, “What do you think?”
Jenny hesitated for a moment, but ultimately chose to tell the truth.
“It’s a big risk, but if it does work, it’s not just in terms of monetary gain, it’s largely a sci-fi milestone.”
Biden Lu’s lips curled up slightly at the corners of his words.
Then without hesitation, “Then shoot.”
“Huh?”
Jenny didn’t expect him to agree so quickly and was surprised.
“No. Are you missing my point?”
Biden Lu smiled, the kind of smile with extreme spoiling and confidence.
“I hear what you’re saying, but since you’re saying it has all the potential to work, of course it’s going to be shot.”
“But what if it fails?It’s not a small investment, and from what I can see, people have lost confidence in the subject matter, so there will be very little additional outside investment that can be made, and all of it will need to come from us at Serenity International itself.”
Biden Lu continued to smile, as if he didn’t even care about this matter.
“It’s precisely because it’s so risky that we’re doing it.”
Jenny was a bit confused and didn’t quite understand what he meant.
Just listen to Biden Lu’s ghostly sigh.
“I thought you said that it would be a milestone in progress if it worked?Who else but us, Serenity International, has that kind of strength and guts to do such a thing?If we’re all afraid to take the risk, then even if it has only a ten percent chance of being complete, it will never be complete.”
Jenny was shaken severely.
Biden Lu continued, “Even if we lose, we’ve tried it and have a clear conscience, don’t you think?”
The phone was quiet.
It took a long time before I heard Jenny’s voice.
She seemed to smile unexpectedly, her tone somewhat complicated.
“Shen, I really…” said Jenny after a pause with a smile, “I really like you more and more.”
The man’s eyes, at the words, narrowed in pleasure.
In the conference room, the executives who were sitting in their seats waiting for Biden Lu to finish speaking on the phone and continue the meeting didn’t hear what Jenny Jing said on the phone.
Just seeing his own family’s big boss, a face that was normally cold and frosty, was now gentle and doting, and there was a strange and gentle smile on that ice face.
Hiss-.
Everyone shuddered in unison.
Biden Lu stared back at them before saying to the phone, “That’s all for now if there’s nothing else.”
Jenny nodded, “Well, I’ll take the plunge then?”
“Well, it’s good that you decided.”
After hanging up the phone, Biden Lu returned to the conference table, his gaze returned to its previous indifference, faintly swept the circle of people and sat down.
The executive who was reporting data just now, immediately got together and continued to report on his previous work.
The group of people, sitting squarely as if nothing had just happened, but they were all already gossiping.
And the other side.
Jenny was guided by a pointer from Biden Lu and understood what he meant at once.
Yes, such a big investment, such a big risk, and looking at the industry, only Anning International now has the financial resources and strength to do such a thing.
If it works, it will be a great step forward.
If you lose money, there’s nothing you can do about it, because someone has to do it sooner or later.
If no one rushes to take the first step, those who follow will be even more afraid to make the film, and then sci-fi is a subject that will never be able to raise its head in the country.
Thinking this way, Jenny Jing called Lu Yanzhi and asked him to free up the evening for another appointment with the screenwriter, and she would talk to them in detail in the evening.
Lu Yanzhi was overjoyed at the news.
I thought I would have to wait a long time longer for news, and not necessarily good news.
But I didn’t expect to wait for Jenny’s call so soon.
He was on the phone, incredulous, and followed up with, “Really?Is this project definitively approved?”
Jenny smiled, “I’m not sure, but I’m interested in learning more about it, is that okay?”
