I'm A Baller

Young Master Wang’s actions were off the charts. He said that he was going to give Fu Yushi special training, and that it would start in the afternoon.

First, he called Li Yixu to confirm the that they had hired a martial arts master. Li Yixu told Wang Yan that the martial arts team had hired the Yuan Family’s class, and they had already finalized their initial intention to cooperate.

Wang Yan was an amateur, but he had still heard of the Yuan Family’s class.

“Sure, just them! What’s the difficulty?”

Li Yixu smiled and said, “It’s just a little more expensive. What’s the difficulty?”

“Our production budget is more than enough. We don’t need to save on this aspect.”

Li Yixu smiled again. “If I knew you would say that, we would have already shown our sincerity in the discussion. The main thing is that Yuan Qiye will definitely not personally take charge. We have to see which of their disciples is more suitable for our style.”

Wang Yan was quite puzzled. “Are you going to let the director do this?”

In action movies, the action director would often be given the title of assistant director and would be responsible for filming the action part.

A real hand-in-the-mirror director was usually only responsible for making requests. The entire set of action design, rehearsals, and actual filming would be completed by the action director.

The director had an effect that he wanted to achieve, but whether it could be completed or not, it was up to the martial arts master.

Previously, A master hired by Wang, Master Xing, had changed his martial arts style at the last minute because his communication was still not smooth.

At that time, Master Xing was not sure what kind of effect he wanted, so he naturally could not express it clearly. At the end of the day, it was not right to do it over and over again.

In the end, they went their separate ways because they did not share the same ideals.

Therefore, this matter had tested the director’s communication and presentation skills, making it even more necessary to form a tacit understanding with the martial arts masters.

It was best to let the director personally pick a team and check the level of co-production before filming.

Wang Yan’s question was reasonable, but Li Yixu smiled bitterly and said, “The situation is quite complicated… let Sister An tell you. She should be contacting you soon.”

Filming a movie was indeed a complicated matter, especially if the producer did not intend to make do with what was given.

Wang Yan was not surprised, but he was a little puzzled.

Besides financial matters, I have basically given you the authority to do everything else. What else do I need An Xiaofang to personally communicate with me for the initial preparations?

Thinking of this, he asked Li Yixu, “Are you in a hurry? If you are, I’ll find some time to return to Shanghai.”

“You’re not in Shanghai?”

Young Master Wang glanced at Fu Yishi, who was practicing hard, and said with a chuckle, “I’m training the female lead in the capital.”

Li Yixu was both surprised and delighted. “Eh? That’s perfect. Sister An happens to be in the capital, and she was planning to talk to you when she came back. Now, I’m will be asking her to go directly to you.”

Wang Yan thought for a moment and nodded.

“Okay, I’ll take her to see our female lead.”

Li Yixu was suddenly very excited and immediately changed his mind. “Female lead? Then wait for me. I’ll book a plane ticket right away!”

“Do you have to go that far to see her?”

“Why not? I’ve been curious for a long time. What kind of woman can make you spend so much effort to promote her? You’ve been hiding her for so long, and now you’re finally willing to let her out to meet people. Of course, I have to be the first to see her!”

Wang Yan couldn’t help but laugh, but he didn’t stop him. “Okay, I’ll welcome you tonight.”

Li Yixu wasn’t wrong. Wang Yan did have the intention of hiding.

According to the original plan, they would only bring Fu Yushi out when the team was officially formed.

Because Fu Yushi was too inexperienced.

With an investment of 100 million yuan, she was definitely the female lead, but she was just a rookie. It was easy for her partners to question her.

Wang Yan was the first investor. That’s right.

He had already signed the investment agreement. That’s right.

However, the young master still had to take care of his partners’ thoughts.

Only by working together could they make this movie well.

Therefore, Wang Yan planned to wait until Fu Yushi had trained to a certain level before bringing her to be examined by the investors.

In the end, after today’s inspection, the young master was conquered by the little princess.

Those two stunning songs, coupled with her movement skills, as well as her outstanding emotional intelligence and wisdom.

No one would be able to find fault with her.

Now, Wang Yan’s eyes were filled with fatherly love as he looked at the little princess. She was too outstanding and too proud. She was a typical child from another family.

..

In the afternoon, An Xiaofang rushed over to them. After a brief inspection, she was also full of praises for Fu Yushi.

“Producer Wang, your taste is impeccable. It’s even better than the two I expected!”

“Oh?”

“I clearly said that the female lead has been decided, but you’re still so responsible and thinking of a backup I see… hehe!”

Wang Yan smiled playfully. “President An, who are the two female leads in your heart?”

An Xiaofang was also smiling, smiling very calmly.

“One is surnamed Zhang. Her acting skills are top-notch among the new generation, and she’s very young. She fits the role perfectly, but her image may not be stunning enough. The other is surnamed Song. She’s prettier, but she has a hard time acting with a cold aura. In short, she’s not as good as Miss Fu.”

She did not explain the reason, perhaps because she felt that there was no need.

Wang Yan did not ask for a specific name and nodded calmly. “It’s good that you approve of her. It saves me the trouble.”

His words were so domineering that An Xiaofang choked for two seconds.

What he meant was: whether you approve of her or not, I want to use her. There’s no room for negotiation.

Wang Yan deliberately said this not because he was arrogant, but because he wanted An Xiaofang and Fu Yushi to figure out two things —

What she needed to remind An Xiaofang was:

Firstly, I have the final say in my movie. You only have the right to make suggestions, so make sure you know your position.

Secondly, you have to supervise the production team well. No one is allowed to have prejudices against Fu Yushi. She is under my protection.

The so-called prejudices are, of course, not just any bullying.

All kinds of stealing, suppressing, deceiving, and small actions count. Sly old foxes have many ways to deal with newbies. It was not uncommon for the female lead who brought funds into the production team to suffer a loss.

An Xiaofang was a smart person. Smart people had many thoughts and were easily self-righteous.

Wang Yan was still young. If he did not put on a high profile, his right to speak would not be guaranteed.

The things that Fu Yushi needed to be reminded of were:

Firstly, you have me behind you, so be bold.

Secondly, An Xiaofang is really not on the same side as us. You have to be careful about everything.

Fu Yushi was astonishingly beautiful, and her IQ might be higher than that of Lin Pingzhi. Just a little bit and she would know.

When it came to the production team, most of the silly ones relied on An Xiaofang to protect them.

With just a nod and a single sentence, he was able to convey so many meanings without being superficial. Young Master Wang was now more and more like a true elite.

An Xiaofang once again felt that Wang Yan was difficult to deal with, but she was not angry. Instead, she was happy.

Being a businessman, she would not go against money. The more capable Wang Yan was, the more resourceful he was, the prospects of the project would be better.

The success of mediocre people depended on luck, and the success of the strong was inevitable.

Looking at the two lines Fu Yushi sang, although they were only small details accounting for less than a minute in the movie, the attention to details could be seen.

Wang Yan had calculated such details so meticulously. How could the entire movie be bad?

In an instant, the thought that had previously reverberated throughout An Xiaofang’s heart was so strong that it was about to overflow.

Her expression turned serious, and without a word of nonsense, she went straight to the point.

“Producer Wang, I can’t find a director who completely meets the requirements. I’ll find you an excellent assistant director who can control the scene. You can direct this movie yourself!”

Huh?

Wang Yan did not lose his composure, but his pupils rapidly dilated in shock.

Fu Yushi politely accompanied him by the side. She had originally decided to ignore the matter and not respond. She was going to be a smiling wall in the background, but at this moment, she could not smile anymore. She opened her mouth slightly in shock.

As her mind raced, many fragments of thoughts flashed through her mind. A different kind of light gradually shone in her eyes.
