After the divorce, I became a rich girl

Yu Ming is a director who has become famous in the film and television industry in recent years. Although he has only directed four film and television works so far, each one of them can be called a hit.

Moreover, he is not an exclusive director under Starlight Entertainment, but has his own independent studio, but has always maintained a cooperative relationship with Starlight Entertainment.

This fantasy drama project was originally a collaboration between the two parties based on good cooperation intentions, but now due to Xue Bin’s role issue, he directly stated that he wanted to withdraw.

This cooperation is very important to Star Entertainment and can be regarded as a key project. In order to allow Yu Ming to shoot this drama, he visited Yu Ming three times before getting Yu Ming to agree.

Liu Chengye was surprised to hear Yu Ming's words. After all, although he had not formally told Yu Ming about letting Xue Bin play the second male lead, he had arranged for his secretary to test Yu Ming's attitude yesterday.

Although Yu Ming did not agree immediately at that time, he did not express his opposition explicitly either. Why did his attitude take a 180-degree turn today?

Liu Chengye thought about it and couldn't help but think of Xiao Yi. Otherwise, how to explain Yu Ming's sudden and decisive change of attitude and the pressure from many partners?

Liu Chengye looked at Yu Ming with a puzzled look on his face and asked sincerely: "Director Yu, can you tell me what the reason is?"

Yu Ming looked at Liu Chengye, and considering that they were partners, he didn't want to watch him act on his own in this matter, so he said frankly: "Boss Liu, we have cooperated so many times, so I will tell you the truth.

You should give up the idea of ​​trying to protect Xue Bin. Judging from the current situation, if Xue Bin participates in a film in the future, few directors will be willing to take it over. Even if a director does shoot it, I'm afraid the investment and benefits will be seriously unbalanced. "

Hearing Yu Ming's words, Liu Chengye became even more confused, and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why? Is it because of Xiao Yi? Is the person behind Xiao Yi so powerful?"

Yu Ming looked at Liu Chengye and smiled softly, as if he had anticipated his reaction. He said slowly, "Boss Liu, don't you understand yet? Even if there is no mysterious person backing Xiao Yi, just because he is Xiao Yi, his words carry weight in this circle and can have such a big impact."

Liu Chengye stared at Yu Ming for a long while, still looking confused: "I still don't understand. Director Yu, please stop playing dumb with me. Can you explain it more clearly?"

Yu Ming looked at Liu Chengye helplessly, and then asked: "Mr. Liu, let me ask you, how many new directors who have emerged in the film and television industry in the past seven or eight years do you know?"

Liu Chengye quickly sorted out the list in his mind. Whether they were focusing on TV dramas or movies, there were about 15 or 16 new directors who were able to produce influential masterpieces in the past seven or eight years.

Liu Chengye selected several students with outstanding performance and mentioned them one by one, naturally including Yu Ming.

Yu Ming listened to Liu Chengye's story and just smiled faintly without making any comments. Instead, he continued, "Boss Liu, among the eight people you mentioned, five of them have received help from Xiao Yi.

This is just the emerging directors, not including those who are not well-known but very talented. "

Liu Chengye was stunned for a moment. He stared at Yu Ming in disbelief. He could not detect any sign of lying from Yu Ming's expression. But all this was too unbelievable. When did Xiao Yi come into contact with these directors?

Seeing Liu Chengye's bewildered face, Yu Ming continued, "Do you remember a piece of news about Xiao Yi ten years ago?"

Liu Chengye frowned and looked at Yu Ming with a puzzled look. Ten years ago? At that time, Xiao Yi was just an artist with a little fame.

Although Starlight Entertainment was not as big as it is now, it was already well-known in the industry. As the company's boss, Liu Chengye had so many things to worry about every day that he would never pay attention to a fledgling artist like Xiao Yi.

Yu Ming knew that Liu Chengye would not pay attention to these things, so he did not wait for Liu Chengye to respond and continued, "At that time, Xiao Yi publicly stated that he would take out 20% of his income every year to fund and invest in directors in need and their projects.

Moreover, he has been doing this for more than ten years. " Yu Ming stopped talking here. He felt that Liu Chengye should have understood the deep meaning of this with his intelligence.

After Yu Ming explained everything, Liu Chengye finally had an impression. He did have a vague memory of the incident, but he remembered that Xiao Yi was on the hot search because of it, but he was pushed to the black hot search, and many people accused him of doing everything he could to attract attention.

However, at that time, no one took the little star's words seriously. After all, in everyone's opinion, how much money could he, a small artist, make in a year?

Besides, the trend in the entire entertainment industry at that time was to pursue collaboration with big and famous directors. Who would pay attention to those small and unknown directors?

What's more, those big and famous directors are rich in resources and have no shortage of funds and projects. Why would they care about Xiao Yi's seemingly insignificant move?

Liu Chengye slowly reached out and picked up the cigarette box, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a deep breath, and the smoke slowly rose in front of him.

His thoughts also began to churn. If it was true as Yu Ming said, that Xiao Yi had been insisting on doing this for the past ten years, then the connections and energy he had accumulated behind him were simply beyond imagination.

He couldn't help but wonder if he was a little reckless in insisting on protecting Xue Bin this time, and might have offended someone he shouldn't have offended.

Liu Chengye's thoughts involuntarily turned to Li Jiawei again.

One of the couple is the CEO of Universal Pictures, with strong capital and abundant resources; the other is a popular top artist with such a huge network of connections behind him, making him a big boss behind the scenes.

These two people are simply a powerful combination, and their energy is terrifying.

Thinking of this, Liu Chengye felt like his head was about to explode and had a severe headache. He originally thought that by paying Universal Pictures more than 10 million yuan in compensation, the matter would be over, but he didn't expect that subsequent troubles would follow one after another, and they were far more difficult than he had imagined.

Liu Chengye looked at Yu Ming and asked solemnly, "What about you? Have you also accepted Xiao Yi's help?"

Yu Ming nodded calmly and said, "Mr. Liu, my first work was completed with Xiao Yi's support."

At this moment, Liu Chengye felt like a thousand horses were galloping through his heart and he almost cursed.
