105 Producer
Hiss. Ji Jun was too cunning. He filmed this drama purely for passion, so it was already impressive that he could successfully film it and sell it to a certain streaming website without losing money. Yet, Ji Jun said that he would throw in 20 million yuan for him. Not only did he double the cost, but he also threw out a huge bait like the station broadcast to keep him hanging.
If someone else had told him that he could sell his drama to the television station for broadcast, Bai Chao would definitely have spat on them. However, the person who said this was Ji Jun. If Ji Jun said it, it meant that this matter was close to the mark and not far off.
Bai Chao covered his heart and said with tears in his eyes, “Best Actor Ji, I think your criticism of me just now was really too insightful. As expected of someone who has been able to make a big hit since he debuted at a young age. Your taste is top-notch!”
Looking at this development, Yu Han felt that she was a little redundant as a middleman.
Ji Jun couldn’t be bothered to listen to Bai Chao’s flattery. He turned to look at Yu Han, who was in a daze. “Producer Yu, it’s time to change your contract.”
Yu Han came back to her senses. “Are you calling me?”
Ji Jun glanced at Bai Chao. “Why? You’ve pulled in so much investment for the production team. It’s not too much for you to be a producer, right?”
Bai Chao understood immediately. “It’s not too much. Little Yu is the most suitable person to be our producer.” Anyway, this production team was just a grassroots team. There was no producer in the first place. What was wrong with letting Yu Han be the producer now? He could even worship Yu Han on set just because she had pulled in Ji Jun and this 20 million yuan investment.
Yu Han was at a loss. “But I don’t know anything.” She only knew how to act.
“It’s fine. It’s my first time being the director too. It’s your first time being a producer. Let’s all learn slowly. Anyway, our production team is small, so there shouldn’t be much to do. We can handle it.”
Seeing that the two of them were so insistent, Yu Han could not reject them anymore. Moreover, she did not really want to reject them. The producer could share the proceeds. She had worked so hard. It was a good thing to earn more money.
Yu Han happily took the contract and edited it. Then, Ji Jun officially signed it and paid 10 million yuan in advance.
Ji Jun casually placed the contract that belonged to him on the table. “Since the actors have been assigned and the venue has been rented, let’s start filming in the next two days.”
Bai Chao rubbed his hands. “Why don’t we find a master to calculate a good day for filming?” This was considered an old rule in the industry. They would choose a good day for filming and pray for everything to go smoothly.
Ji Jun was surprised. “It’s just a small-budget drama that is only worth 20 million yuan. Why are you so particular about this?”
Bai Chao felt like he had been shot in the heart. He forced a pitiful smile. “This is also your drama now.”
“Since it’s my drama, there’s no need to pay attention to these things. Just start filming,” Ji Jun said matter-of-factly. “Anyway, every drama I star in earns money, so you might as well pray to me rather than finding a master.”
Bai Chao: “…” Forget it. You’re Best Actor Ji and our sugar daddy. You have the final say. He wiped his face and felt that he had aged 10 years from the great sorrow and anger in this afternoon. “It’s too rushed tomorrow. The actors have to be notified at the last minute. The set hasn’t been set up yet. The filming can only start the day after tomorrow at the earliest.”
Ji Jun nodded reluctantly. “Alright.”
Yu Han was speechless. Was it really possible to start filming so hastily? She even suspected for a moment that this drama’s fate would be changed because of her interference.
However, it was obvious that the two of them had reached a consensus. As a new producer, she did not say anything unnecessary.
“If that’s the case, I have to make arrangements in the next two days.” Yu Han jumped up.
Yu Han hurriedly went back to contact her manager, He Meng, and Lang Yu. She said that she had received a last-minute notice that filming would start tomorrow. Although He Meng found this strange, she thought that this production team was small, so it was normal for them to change their plan suddenly. “Alright, I’ll look for you the day after tomorrow.”
“Teacher Ji, I’ll go back first. Thank you for today. You’re welcome to visit the production team whenever you have time.” Yu Han said goodbye to Ji Jun politely.
Ji Jun nodded as an agreement. He thought that it was good to be busy. He wouldn’t think about finding trouble with the Yu Family for the time being when he was busy. It was better to let the Chen Family deal with these stinky bugs like the Yu Family. At this thought, Ji Jun picked up his phone and called Chen Tian.
Yu Han did not know that Ji Jun had been worried about so many things behind the scenes. She had received so much advice from him on the script in the afternoon. She had many insights to summarize and needed to systematically review the entire script later.
