The performance of the producer could not be fake, and the contract could not be fake. Zhong Ruanxing really had eighty million yuan, and she really invested eighty million yuan in the crew!
That she dared to take out so much money to invest showed that she had more than that amount of money, at least a small target!
The minor actors in the crew felt stabbed.
As minor celebrities of little fame, how do you have so much money?!
Everyone's expressions were very interesting. Song Lecheng looked as if she had just slapped him in public, his face burning painfully. He had just said that as long as Zhong Ruanxing could take out eight hundred thousand, he would leave, but she directly took out eighty million yuan without a second word.
Compared to his previous attempt to use thirty million to drive her away, Zhong Ruanxing's move was not just a slap in his face, but stomping his face into the ground.
He jumped up abruptly, bumping the dining table heavily, and glasses and plates crashed to the ground. Someone exclaimed, then hurriedly covered their mouth.
He stared fiercely at the woman with cold and arrogant expression opposite him, as if he hated to swallow her alive: “Zhong! Ruan! Xing!”
But she was still very calm: “What, can’t lose with grace?”
The other investor who came with Song Lecheng was now pale, gritting his teeth and pulling him: “Young Master Song, it’s a small matter, they are all small matters! It's not worth getting angry over such little things!"
Song Jinxing snorted coldly: “It seems that not only did your parents fail to teach you respect, but they also failed to teach you honesty.”
The honest should leave now.
Song Lecheng pointed at him three times: “Good! Good! You're great! You have money, fine, you kept your role! But I want to see if you guys can release this movie on time after shooting it!”
When he said this, Director Zeng and the producer's faces changed.
Sure enough, unable to make things difficult for Zhong Ruanxing, he was going to sabotage the entire crew.
This narrow-minded bastard was just lucky to be born into a good family. If he had been born into an ordinary family, he would have been beaten to death long ago!
With that foul temper, if Director Zeng had not seen the female lead gesturing for him not to act rashly, he really would have fought this little bastard at the risk of his old life.
It seemed that Song Lecheng finally thought of a way to regain face, and his expression visibly improved. His tone was gloomy: “Director Zeng, Producer Chen, you should think carefully. Is offending the Song family worth it for a worthless minor actor? The movie will eventually be released, and who controls the screening rights is clear in your minds!”
This was an overt threat.
Song Jinxing's face sank as he heavily put down the teacup in his hand on the table.
The person sitting next to him couldn’t help but hold their breath. The sudden burst of powerful pressure made the atmosphere in the entire room tense up. Song Lecheng's arrogant expression also stalled, locked in that cold gaze, and was instantly chilled to the bone.
There was dead silence in the room, only that low, angry voice: “Since when has the Song family been for you to control?”
The interests involved between the prestigious Song family and outsiders were not something Song Lecheng knew about. He just saw that Song Lecheng was from the Song family and thought he had great power. But in fact, Song Lecheng didn’t even have a penny of Song family shares, just a prodigal playboy son who was idle and did nothing. At most he could ask for some pocket money, how could Old Master Song possibly let him get involved in the business!
If the person here today was Song Lecheng’s father Song Jingwu, then his words would carry some weight. But for a prodigal son like Song Lecheng, if you threw him into the business world, no one would even look at him directly!
It was precisely such a person who was using the Song family name to bluff and bully others. For the first time, Song Jinxing doubted his own decision.
After he took over the company, he should have completely removed such pests, rather than letting him jump around using the Song family name.
How many times had he used such means to oppress Zhong Ruanxing?
That hardworking actor who loved the performing arts industry so much, he had almost destroyed her entire acting career just because he took a fancy to her!
Song Jinxing thought of the always vibrant face every time they met, and had the urge to crush Song Lecheng into dust.
Since being diagnosed with emotional detachment disorder, he hardly had such an obvious emotional fluctuation. That kind of anger, even if insignificant, still stirred the stagnant water.
Song Lecheng felt that he must have gone crazy.
How else could he see the shadow of the great demon at home in Zhong Ruanxing?
His legs trembled a little as he tried to maintain his momentum: “You... you!”
He "you'd" for a long time but did not speak.
Song Jinxing picked up the cell phone that had been on a call next to him at some point, his tone cold and hard: "Did you hear everything?"
Fu Ling was drenched in cold sweat on the other end of the phone.
He was quite surprised when he suddenly received Zhong's call just now. After answering the call, he heard Song Lecheng's shameless words, followed by Zhong's questioning.
Since when has the Song family been for you to control?
Right! How could a prodigal son who only knew how to make trouble for the family actually dare to issue orders outside in the name of the Song family, as if the boss's authority could be so provoked?!
If it wasn't for Zhong's call, he still wouldn't know that Young Master Song Lecheng was so rampant outside every day!
Fu Ling took a deep breath: “I heard it all, Miss Zhong. I will deal with this immediately.”
Although he was just an executive assistant and neither surnamed Song nor of prominent background, following Song Jinxing meant that his words represented Song Jinxing’s intentions. His authority in the Song family was much greater than that of Song Lecheng, who was of the Song family.
After hanging up the phone, Song Lecheng, who had been frightened, was also somewhat stunned. At this time, he looked formidable but weak inside: “Who were you calling?!”
Song Jinxing didn't bother to pay attention to him.
Soon, Song Lecheng's phone rang. He hesitated before answering it. He didn't know what was said on the other end of the line, but his expression got worse and worse. Finally, looking at “Zhong Ruanxing” in disbelief until he hung up the phone, he was so angry that his teeth were shaking:
“You actually got on the good side of the third master?!”
Song Jinxing was expressionless: “You can eat carelessly, but you can't speak carelessly. Young Master Song, are you leaving on your own, or should I have someone escort you out?”
He echoed Song Lecheng word for word.
Song Lecheng's eyes were almost spewing fire, wanting to burn a hole in him. He glared fiercely at him for a long time, but ultimately did nothing. He kicked the chair next to him and left without looking back, his back somewhat miserable.
The room was shocked and uneasy, holding their breaths.
Everyone's expressions were wonderful, only Song Jinxing was as calm as ever, pouring himself another cup of tea.
In the end, it was Director Zeng who spoke first, muttering: “After all that commotion, the dishes must be cold now.” He picked up his chopsticks: “Let’s just eat, we can talk after the meal. Don’t waste all this food on the table.”
He started eating, and the others came to their senses and quickly followed suit, picking up their chopsticks and starting to eat.
The dining table became lively again, but they were even more in awe of this aloof female lead. Putting everything else aside, daring to confront the Young Master Song so directly and even winning showed that she had quite the backing and connections!
The producer and investor were overjoyed as if they had picked up money for free.
Who wouldn't be happy getting eighty million yuan invested for free! Their original filming budget was less than eighty million yuan! Now the funds had doubled, so later the filming equipment, props, scenes, special effects production, etc. could also improve by a level. This movie would be a disgrace if it didn't win any awards!
By investing this eighty million yuan, Zhong Ruanxing instantly became the biggest investor in the crew!
Judging from Song Lecheng’s overt and covert words, her background was that person...
Forget it, Zhong Ruanxing looked too difficult to provoke. It was best to dig less into her gossip. She had become a major shareholder of the crew now. Offending her would lead to no good.
The producer and investor's words to Song Jinxing during the toast were full of flattery.
Whether the speculation was true or not, they had to firmly hug this rich female lead’s thigh! To prevent that petty Song Lecheng from sinister retaliation!
Zhong Ruanxing was now the ballast of the “Spy” crew!
Although this disaster was caused by her... Forget it, it wasn’t her fault that Director Zeng valued her!
Director Zeng did value this female lead quite a bit. Previously, it was only because her appearance and temperament matched the role very well that he stubbornly refused the person sent by the investor, and resolutely chose Zhong Ruanxing.
Tonight's commotion just made him see the pride in "her" more clearly. Look, how much she's like him when he was young! He just loves young people like this, with pride. What's wrong with bumping into walls? When he was young, didn't he also bump into walls? Now hasn't he still made something of himself?
This Zhong Ruanxing, he really didn't choose wrong at all. Heh, his own judgement is so good!
When Song JinXing left, he felt Zeng Mingsong's gaze was full of compassion.
It made him feel a little creepy.
