Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!-Chapter 684: It doesn’t matter if it gets broken, I have the money to fix it.
Chapter 684: Chapter 684: It doesn’t matter if it gets broken, I have the money to fix it.
But Jiang Li had already evolved; she was now a film producer who could easily drop a hundred million on a project, a maker of stars.
Yin Le didn’t dare to neglect her and quickly led her inside.
Although their filming location was quite remote, it was spacious enough, and the construction of the scenery inside was breathtaking.
The Hive Base, which frequently appeared in the film, was mostly man-made, with various steel and crystal elements combined to create a dazzling spectacle.
According to Shao Changqing, just creating this one scene had cost tens of millions.
Even Jiang Yan, who had been complaining about this and that, stopped talking when he saw the scenery inside.
The people on set were surprised to see Jiang Li.
"This must be our producer, she’s so pretty."
"Not only is she good-looking, but she’s also generous with her spending, dropping a hundred million just like that!"
"I know her! She just won five hundred million on ’Deserted Island Survival’ not long ago! With her here, we definitely don’t have to worry about funding for our film."
"That guy behind her is Jiang Yan, right? He’s quite handsome too."
"....."
Shao Changqing led Jiang Li into the shooting studio and had her sit down, then motioned for a few key staff members to come over and introduced them to her.
"This is our technical director, that one is the head of the props department, he studied architectural design, and many of the scenes in our film were designed by him, and—"
"Sister, you came!"
A crisp male voice interrupted Shao Changqing’s words.
Not far away, Luo Xingmu, freshly made up, leapt over like a little cat, heading straight for Jiang Li.
Ji Yanbai raised his hand and stopped him mid-air.
Behind him, the assistant, frightened out of his wits, kept apologizing to Jiang Li.
"Sorry, sorry, Miss Jiang, our Brother Mu got too excited; I apologize, did he hurt you?"
Jiang Li shook her head, "No problem."
Luo Xingmu looked pitiful, "Sister Lili, where did you find such a big guy? He’s already hurt me."
The big guy Ji Yanbai: "....."
He finally understood why Jiang Li needed a bodyguard.
"Where did this sissy come from? Stay away from my sister," Jiang Yan stepped forward and pulled Luo Xingmu away, "You look to be about my age, yet you keep calling her sister."
Luo Xingmu smiled, "Calling her sister isn’t because she’s older, but because she’s strong, that’s why I call her sister."
This behavior stunned the people around.
Usually, Luo Xingmu was as cool as they come on set, even Shao Changqing could only occasionally exchange a few words with him.
After all, he had become famous at a young age and was already playing the male lead in Director Zhang Cheng’s films; of course, he had an air of arrogance.
But here he was, calling Jiang Li "sister" repeatedly, a stark contrast to his usual demeanor.
Luo Xingmu was very polite, and of course, Jiang Li appreciated that formality, so she said indifferently, "Let him call me whatever he likes, why do you care so much? He’s going to be your partner in the future, you should treat him well."
This comment was directed at Jiang Yan, who listened with discomfort.
The thought of having to spend most of the next year with this sissy made him even more uncomfortable! freeweɓnovel.cѳm
"So, director, is this our secondary male lead?"
A man with a robust physique in the crowd spoke up.
He was dressed in work clothes and wore a black peaked cap, his face was hard to see, but he had a strong presence, and his voice was full-bodied.
However, there was a note of skepticism in his tone.
Shao Changqing felt a bit embarrassed and hurried to explain to Jiang Li.
"This is Mr. Wu Jin, our stunt coordinator for the crew, and Yin Le and I specifically sought him out."
Since it’s a sci-fi movie, there are a lot of big action sequences, and the expectations for a stunt coordinator are high.
Wu Jin is a graduate of the martial arts academy and the last disciple of a certain martial arts school. Shao Changqing and Yin Le had to go through a lot of trouble to coax him out of retirement.
As a professional, Wu Jin began sizing up Jiang Yan right from the start.
Although his physique was fairly well-proportioned, the overall impression he gave off was one of sloppiness.
The male lead in "Doomsday Beehive" is the commander-in-chief of the Hive Base, outwardly abstinent and serious, but in reality cruel and merciless—nothing like the rich playboy in front of him.
Moreover, his character in the film is set to have incredibly high combat capabilities.
He had no confidence this man could handle it.
"I’ll just say it." Wu Jin looked towards Jiang Li, knowing that the others here were afraid to speak up because of her financial influence, but he had no such concerns.
"The lead roles are introduced by you, Miss Jiang, and of course, as the producer of this film, I have no say in the matter. Mr. Luo’s capabilities are clear to all, and he indeed fits the role, but this person..."
Wu Jin’s gaze lingered on Jiang Yan, the look of disdain on his face was clear for all to see despite his efforts to be discreet.
Everyone here basically knew that Jiang Yan was neither formally trained nor had much acting experience, and that he had gotten this far only through the support of his sister and family connections.
To suddenly take on a film role on par with the leading man, anyone would be skeptical.
"Hey, what are you implying...."
Jiang Li raised a hand to stop Jiang Yan, who was about to lose his temper, and smiled, "Mr. Wu’s concerns are justified. To avoid any gossip, why don’t you personally test Jiang Yan’s abilities?"
Wu Jin was taken aback, "Me?"
"Yes, you."
This time, it was Jiang Yan’s turn to be shocked.
He dragged Jiang Li behind him and whispered, "Are you crazy? The guy’s a martial arts school grad, how could I possibly beat him?"
"How do you know if you don’t try?"
Jiang Li was resolute and immediately had Ji Yanbai hand a stick to Wu Jin.
"Go ahead, Mr. Wu. Don’t worry if you hurt him, I have money for his treatment."
Jiang Yan: "....."
Is this really my sister?
Wu Jin squinted his eyes, "Since Miss Jiang insists, I won’t hold back."
Letting these siblings back down sooner rather than later is for the best!
Jiang Yan turned pale, "Wait, we’re just starting now? Where’s my weapon?"
Jiang Li took a step back, "You don’t have one."
Jiang Yan: ???
Luo Xingmu gasped from the side.
Good thing he hadn’t called Jiang Li his sister; the cost of being a brother seemed too high.
Knowing what was at stake, everyone wisely stepped back, clearing the area for Jiang Yan and Wu Jin.
Wu Jin swung the stick, sending a whooshing sound through the air, and in the next moment, he firmly planted his feet, readying an offensive stance towards Jiang Yan.
"Please excuse me."
Jiang Yan: !!!!
Holy crap??? Is this for real?!?
The onlookers who were there to watch the drama had already taken out their phones to record, and even Luo Xingmu had pulled out his own filming device.
Before Jiang Yan could say anything, Wu Jin had already charged towards him.
