Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 806: The Bet

After Sheng Tang’s new movie started, Fu Qingcen’s project was still in preparation.

The director of the company’s venture capital department had a good relationship with Ke Fei, and the two often drank together privately.

This director, named Xue Liang, joined the company around the same time as Ke Fei, and both were part of the old core team left by Gu You for his son, having deep seniority in the company.

When Sheng Tang was mentioned, Director Xue had a lot to say.

"’High Heels’ was such a good project, a fashion-oriented women’s film with reliable investors, and secured production and direction. If Sheng Tang acted, she would definitely be the first choice, not Fu Qingcen, but she went for Liu Taofang’s movie." Director Xue was frustrated by her decision.

Ke Fei took a slow sip of his drink.

"Old Ke, you used to be quite reliable, what happened now? Would your artist be where she is today without Zheng Weiwei’s support? Why can’t she be more steady?" Xue Liang added.

Ke Fei: "She has her own vision. Sheng Tang has a knack for selecting films. I believe her movie can be a hit. Besides, President Gu agreed too."

"President Gu is bewitched!" Xue Liang said with deep concern, "I heard President Gu invested sixty million in Liu Taofang’s movie?"

The initial investments in films are often kept secret.

The publicly announced amounts are often greatly exaggerated.

Ke Fei knew the truth, but wouldn’t reveal it. Otherwise, neither Sheng Tang nor President Gu would let him off.

Therefore, he ambiguously replied: "Probably."

Xue Liang felt even more distressed: "Sixty million, all down the drain! President Gu is really bewitched!"

Ke Fei wasn’t too pleased to hear this.

"Don’t say that, Old Xue!" Ke Fei put down his glass, "Maybe Sheng Tang’s movie will make a profit."

Xue Liang sneered.

Ke Fei didn’t like his attitude and deliberately provoked him: "How about a bet? If Sheng Tang’s movie makes money, you give me that antique car."

Xue Liang had an antique luxury car, worth over ten million at the market price back in the day, and now a collector’s item worth even more.

Ke Fei had always liked it.

Xue Liang felt a bit of heartache and immediately replied: "Alright, and if her movie flops, you give me that villa in the western suburbs."

Ke Fei had a particularly luxurious villa in the western suburbs.

The villa itself wasn’t worth much, the property value was about five million, but Ke Fei’s luxurious renovations, including everything from furnishings to arrangements, cost him over eight million.

Their bet was more like drunken banter, and they wouldn’t really take each other’s belongings. It was just for the satisfaction of annoying each other.

After parting with Xue Liang, Ke Fei went to the film city the next day and told Sheng Tang about it.

"...Make sure to act well. If I lose that villa, I’ll hold it against you," Ke Fei said with a smile.

Sheng Tang: "Don’t worry, Brother Fei, I’ll definitely help you win that car back!"

"You seem quite confident," Ke Fei said.

Sheng Tang was indeed very confident.

Lately, she maintained this attitude towards both the director and the producer.

She invested half of the cost, and with her attitude, producer Liu Taofang was so charmed by her that he couldn’t be more appreciative of her.

The film shoot was also progressing smoothly.

Sheng Tang played the female lead with polio, and after discussions with the director and the stylist, her makeup was kept beautiful, but her acting needed to be excellent.

"Who says people with disabilities can’t be beautiful?" This was the director’s idea. "We want beauty! Even if we’re born with shortcomings, we still shine brightly, with our looks and intelligence remaining the most beautiful."

Sheng Tang laughed, thinking the director was a bit youthful and passionate.

However, the effect was indeed quite good.
