83: Chapter 83 The Second Collaboration with Yang Mi

Yang Mi said this because she wanted to gain the upper hand over Chen Shaoping in terms of momentum.

This would facilitate subsequent script negotiations.

She had noticed Chen Shaoping's unusual behavior, and it couldn't possibly be some secret.

She didn't plan to get to the bottom of it; as long as she could secure the script for 'three lives, three worlds, ten miles of peach blossoms', that was enough.

Chen Shaoping gave an awkward smile. He also wanted to sit on the sofa, but circumstances didn't allow it.

It's easy to get engorged, but troublesome to get the blood back.

“Sister Mimi, just tell me directly, do you want the script, and how do you want it?”

He could only change the subject and get straight to the point, so Yang Mi wouldn't dwell on his attitude.

Li Qian gave Chen Shaoping a sidelong glance; she also felt that this way of communicating was a bit impolite.

However, at this moment, she couldn't criticize Chen Shaoping.

Any criticism would have to wait until after Yang Mi left.

Getting down to business.

Yang Mi became serious, smiling faintly as she said, “Teacher Chen, how would you like to cooperate?”

“Sister Mi.”

“To be honest with you, if I didn't think you were very suitable to play the female lead, Bai Qian, I wouldn't have brought out this script now.”

“Given our company's current pace of development, I believe we can start filming this TV series next year.”

“What do you say?”

Chen Shaoping said confidently.

After reading the script, Yang Mi indeed took a liking to the female lead, feeling it was written specifically for her.

Most importantly, she was confident that this TV series would become a milestone in her career.

In the future, when 'Qian Qian' is mentioned, people's first reaction will be Yang Mi.

Thinking of this, her heart itched, and she wanted to secure the script immediately.

If she could also win over this talented man, that would be even better.

“Teacher Chen, if you give me the script, I can organize people to start filming right away.”

“It's better for such a good script to meet the audience sooner.”

Yang Mi subtly expressed her desire for the script, while also acknowledging what Chen Shaoping had said.

“5 million, the script is mine. All copyrights will be managed by Jiaxing Media, and you'll get 40% of all profits.”

Yang Mi felt this offer was quite good, and Chen Shaoping should agree.

“5 million, the script is yours. All copyrights will be managed by Jiaxing Media, and you'll get 40% of all profits.”

Chen Shaoping shook his head, changed a few words of Yang Mi's statement, and sent it back.

Yang Mi shifted her slender jade legs, then quickly stood up, glaring at Chen Shaoping.

She shouted furiously, “What are you talking about?”

Yang Mi was truly angry; even English slipped out.

Her eyes fixed on Chen Shaoping, hoping to hear him say, 'I was wrong'.

“Sister Mi, I've already given very generous terms. It's just because you're an actress I admire.”

Yang Mi calmed down a bit, “But your terms are too harsh.”

“You just provide a script, I give you 5 million, and I still have to give you 60% of the profits?”

Chen Shaoping narrowed his eyes and smiled, “Yes, Sister Mi, you understood correctly.”

“And I'm also planning to insert two actors into the TV series, and you'll have to cover their salaries.”

Yang Mi roared, “Chen Shaoping, don't go too far! Everything else is negotiable, but don't even think about inserting actors.”

Seeing the tense situation, Li Qian quickly mediated, “Even if we arrange actors, they'd still need to audition and get the director's approval.”

“That's more like it.”

“Fifty-fifty!”

“Sixty-forty!”

“Teacher Chen, if you're like this, you're not cute at all.”

“Shouldn't a man be a little more accommodating to a beauty?”

Seeing that Chen Shaoping wouldn't budge, Yang Mi began to pull out her trump card.

First, she gave Chen Shaoping a flirtatious look.

Then, swaying her waist, she once again approached his desk.

“Bang!”

Chen Shaoping's office door was pushed open forcefully, making a loud noise.

Tian Jun walked in anxiously, sweat beading on his forehead.

Seeing the situation in the office, he immediately froze.

After a moment, he spoke.

“Da Ping, what's going on with you? Hurry and explain, time waits for no one.”

Chen Shaoping was focused on watching the beautiful woman walk over when he was suddenly interrupted by Tian Jun.

His brows furrowed.

“Four Jun, you bastard! Have you forgotten how to knock?”

“Get out, knock again, and only come in after I say 'come in'.”

Tian Jun was about to retort, annoyed at Chen Shaoping's constant fussiness.

But seeing Chen Shaoping's stiff neck and murderous gaze, he decisively caved.

Who told him he needed Chen Shaoping's help?

Extremely unwilling, he still obediently retreated.

“Knock knock!”

“Come in!”

Tian Jun re-entered, his expression not looking good, contemplating how he would definitely get back at Chen Shaoping later.

He still had to put on a smiling face: “Brother Ping, are you satisfied now?”

“Can you entertain me now?”

After Tian Jun's interruption, Yang Mi stopped in front of Chen Shaoping's desk.

All the words she had prepared were completely forgotten. “Sister Mimi, why don't you go back first, and we can talk another day?” Chen Shaoping suggested.

All the words she had prepared were completely forgotten. “Sister Mimi, why don't you go back first, and we can talk another day?” Chen Shaoping suggested.

Cen Minglan's matter was indeed urgent, and there was no time to delay.

Yang Mi was a bit displeased, “Everything has a first-come, first-served rule! Let's settle our business first.”

“Fifty-fifty, how about it?”

Chen Shaoping also became resolute, furrowing his brow, “Seventy-thirty.”

Yang Mi was startled, knowing that he was using more stringent conditions to show his unyielding attitude.

She had wanted to fight for more benefits, but seeing Chen Shaoping's expression, she knew it was impossible.

If she continued to entangle, it might backfire, and she might not even get the script.

Although signing this way would mean less profit for the company.

But she had just witnessed the terrifying money-making ability of 'palace jade'.

She believed that 'three lives, three worlds, ten miles of peach blossoms' could attract even more.

The filming costs would quickly be recouped, and then it would become profitable.

The time certainly wouldn't exceed half a year.

With this in mind, she no longer hesitated.

Yang Mi pouted, “You rotten man, you have no sense of romance at all.”

“Sixty-forty it is, I agree.”

“Let's go, CEO Li, let's sign the contract and leave the office to these two rotten men.”

Yang Mi felt a pang in her heart thinking that 60% of the money earned would have to be shared with Tongxing Entertainment Company.

Li Qian greeted Tian Jun, then left with Yang Mi.

Now that's better.

Chen Shaoping finally moved from the office chair to the sofa.

Tian Jun quickly offered a cigarette, smiling, “Brother Ping, what information do you have? Hurry up and tell me, I'm dying of impatience.”

“Four Jun, regarding the mastermind, do you police have any leads, or any suspects?” Chen Shaoping asked.

“Absolutely none! From the evidence currently at hand, we only know that such a person exists,” Tian Jun replied.

Chen Shaoping smiled, “Four Jun, if you catch the mastermind this time, can you get a first-class merit?”

“Da Ping, stop talking about merits and quickly tell me what information you have.”

“Tell me quickly, please.”

Tian Jun was anxious.

Looking at Chen Shaoping, he felt an urge to punch him.

“Four Jun, have you ever considered that the mastermind might be a woman?”
