BXBX NOVEL Chapter 68
Chapter 68: Helping in secret
Chi luexi had wanted to ridicule him a little. She had heard that the remuneration could be increased and that it was fine if there were conditions. After all, who would feel bad about money?
After some thought, Chi Kexi replied,””Let’s talk about it the day after tomorrow. I’m very busy tomorrow. I have a few advertisement endorsements to shoot.”
“Okay, I know you’re busy now. I’ll wait for you at the company the day after tomorrow. It’ll be more clear if we talk face to face.”
Chi yaoxi chuckled secretly after she put down the phone. She was not as busy as she was and could not lie so directly. She felt that she had learned to be bad.
He had no choice. For the sake of living, he could only choose to think of ways to be good to himself. When dealing with evil people, he could only use some unconventional tricks.
Chi luexi recalled the movie. Just as sister Ming had said, the script was good, but the female lead was a little disgusting. When she thought of mo Yuzhen, Chi luexi felt that her acting skills had pulled down the quality of the script.
She was also an eccentric woman who liked to play dirty tricks behind people’s backs. Chi luexi shook her head at the thought of this. She knew that all the mishaps she had experienced at the theater were all related to this woman.
It was also because of mo Yuzhen’s existence and influence that the director did not have a good opinion of him, and even looked down on him.
See, since so many things have happened this time, I must adjust the situation when we meet again.
Chi Luoxi changed into a set of luxurious clothes and matched it with branded jewelry. She looked noble and generous. One could tell at a glance that she came from an extraordinary background and had the aura of a big star.
After working in the entertainment industry for a few years, Chi Yuexi finally understood that it was especially important to put on a show of power. Being too honest and dutiful would instead make others look down on her. She tidied herself up before leaving the house.
When she arrived at the director’s office, the director’s actions were indeed completely different from before.
However, he smiled and invited Chi luexi to sit down. He poured her some tea and greeted her simply before waiting for her reply.
Chi Luoxi did not say much and went straight to the point, stating her conditions. “It’s not a problem to return to filming. ”
The director stared at Chi Luoxi’s serious face, waiting for her to continue and see what kind of request she would make.
“The only thing I need to change is the remuneration. I want an increase of 200000 Yuan for each episode.”
The director’s mouth dropped open in shock when he heard Chi Luoxi’s words. One episode was 200000 Yuan, and the costume drama had a total of 80 episodes. That would cost an additional 16 million Yuan!
Chi luexi was not surprised at all when she saw the director’s shocked expression. She still had something to say.”Also, I want the plot to change to have two female leads.”
Before the director could react to the previous sentence, he heard this again. The document in his hand trembled and fell to the ground, and he almost fell from the sofa.
How did this woman become so ruthless! It turned out that she was quite easy to talk to during filming.
The director couldn’t believe his eyes. Was this woman in front of him still the same Chi luexi who listened to instructions obediently and acted seriously?
Seeing that the director was speechless, Chi Yuexi gave him a simple explanation,”
“I’m only making this request for the sake of the crew. This way, I can show how much importance the crew values my return to filming.”
The director’s face was full of doubt. This was considered being considerate of the crew? If he agreed, the cost would increase by so much!
Seeing that the director wasn’t smart enough and couldn’t figure it out, Chi Yuexi continued,”
“I think the director should have seen the comments on the internet. These preferential treatment and compensation will calm the netizens ‘anger and at the same time increase the TV series’ ratings. It’s not a bad thing for the crew.”
The director nodded. He understood that, but how could he apply for such a huge investment? When would they be able to earn it back? This was something that could not be said for sure.
Also, the fact that there were two female leads in this drama wasn’t something that he could decide on alone. The director scratched his head and was speechless for a moment. He hesitated and didn’t agree, but of course, he couldn’t reject it either.
After all, it was the director’s duty to invite Chi yaoxi back to continue filming. If they couldn’t complete this task, this large-scale costume drama would probably have been filmed in vain.
The power of the modern media was strong, and the netizens caused a lot of trouble. If the ratings were low in the later stages, the investment of the entire drama would be a big loss.
After Chi luexi made her request, she did not delay any further and left the director’s office immediately, saying that she had other things to do.
Of course, she knew the seriousness of the matter. She wasn’t deliberately making things difficult for the director. He could do these requests and should compensate her.
Chi Luoxi was not in a hurry. She did what she had to do when she got back. She knew that the production team and the director could not wait and would probably call again soon.
That night, she asked Li Jingjing and the little guy out for dinner. Chi yaoxi told them that the situation had turned around and that they had even held a press conference.
The little boy was very proud of his mommy and rewarded her with a kiss. He even gave her a thumbs up. He liked his mommy who had regained her confidence and was smiling.
Seeing that Li Jingjing only cared about eating and didn’t comment on this matter, she didn’t even look surprised. Chi leixi was a little puzzled. This man was too calm!
It was such great news, but he didn’t say a word or congratulate her.
The little fellow could tell the meaning on his mommy’s face. He sneaked closer to Chi Luoxi’s ear and whispered,”
“Daddy knew about it a long time ago. On the day of the press conference, he even sent someone to listen to the press conference. He even recorded the entire process. I saw him watching the video alone in the study.”
So that’s how it is. It seems that Li Jingjing still pays attention to my Affairs. Chi yaoxi smiled at the little guy and nodded, her mood instantly becoming better.
“If this goes on, I’ll be able to pay you back very soon with a higher pay and a higher pay for the double female leads.”
Chi yaoxi pretended to talk to herself, but she was actually saying it for Li Jingjing to hear.
After dinner, the little guy returned home and saw his father in the study, so he followed him.
Seeing that his daddy was only flipping through a magazine, the little guy climbed onto his daddy’s lap and sat down.
“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you washing up and going to bed?” Li Jingjing held the little guy in her arms and asked with concern.
“AI! It’s not fun at all!”
Seeing the little guy frowning and mumbling in a low voice, Li Jingjing continued,”
“Go take a shower first. I’ll tell you a bedtime story later, okay?”
“No, your story is not as good as mommy ‘s.” The little guy didn’t give her any face at all and told her the truth, making Li Jingjing not know whether to laugh or cry.
The little guy was telling the truth. He was not as patient as his mommy, who had stayed in his room for so long.
“But, you know, your mommy has been very busy recently. She’ll only have time to spend with you after she’s done with her work.”
She thought that after explaining to the little guy, he would obediently go and take a bath, but she did not expect the little guy to be even more agitated.
