Chapter 202: Full Investment
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Sheng was glad that he was lucky this time. Not only did he have a chance of getting an investment, but he could also see the stubbornness and tenacity in Jiang An. This was something that Tan Si did not have. It could only be interpreted through performance, so her performance would have traces of the character’s heaviness.
However, Jiang An was different. This was what she had brought with her. It could only be said that both of them had their own pros and cons. Appearance could be resolved through makeup, but some things were very difficult to act out.
Gu Sheng walked to the front of the stage excitedly. “An’an, you acted too well. The role of Gan Lan belongs to you!”
The excitement here was 30% because Gu Sheng was surprised by Jiang An’s performance, and 70% because he wanted to get An’an so as to get Jiang Huai’s investment!
Seeing Gu Sheng’s reaction, Jiang An was a little flattered. “Director, 1 especially like this role. If you have time, I also want to know more about this character. Everyone has their own understanding of the script. I’m worried that 1 have my own biases.”
When Gu Sheng heard this, he shouted in his heart, “It’s done!”
Gu Sheng smiled and said, “No problem. Such communication is necessary. Your scenes here are very important. As long as your character is established, this show will be halfway to success already.”
Gu Sheng immediately took out the contract and wanted to sign Jiang An.
This speed shocked Jiang An so much that she couldn’t help but look at Zhao Bing. Seeing Gu Sheng’s excitement, Zhao Bing pursed her lips and suppressed her laughter. “Director Gu, there’s no hurry. Let’s take the contract back and show it to the legal department first.”
Gu Sheng slapped his forehead and said with a smile, “Look at me! I’m so happy to have chosen the female lead I want. 1 can’t wait to sign it on the spot. Then take it back and discuss it first. The terms and conditions are negotiable.”
Jiang An took the contract and returned to the company with Zhao Bing.
Other than a few artists signed by Jiang An, Jiang Huai did not forget to sign a few more artists with potential during his acting period. However, the company had an ironclad rule. No matter how many artists there were, as long as it involved Jiang An, they would always prioritize handling it first.
After the audition in the morning, the legal department had already finished studying all the terms and conditions by the time they got off work in the afternoon. After communicating with Gu Sheng and negotiating, they asked Jiang An to sign it. That night, someone sent the contract to Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng looked at the contract and excitedly went home to put it in the safe in the study.
“What are you hiding? Why are you so mysterious? Did you buy something behind my back?!” Gu Sheng’s wife, Wang Xuan, walked into the study with a suspicious expression.
Gu Sheng locked the safe before turning around and saying, “What are you thinking about all day?! This is my sugar daddy’s contract. Of course 1 have to keep it well!”
Wang Xuan narrowed her eyes and pinched Gu Sheng’s ear. “You’re lying to me! You’ve already mortgaged three houses. If you have a sugar daddy that you can use but still bet on the family assets, tell me! Are you going to buy jewelry for some vixen and secretly leave it at home so that you can give it away another day?!”
Gu Sheng tilted his head and followed his wife’s grip. “Ouch, ouch, ouch! 1 want to film the drama properly now. 1 don’t have such tricks! This is really my sugar daddy! I’ve already applied to the bank to cancel the execution of the loan contract.”
Only then did Wang Xuan stop, but the suspicion in her eyes did not dissipate. “Give me the contract.”
Gu Sheng looked at his wife’s muscular figure and then at his thin appearance. Helpless, he gave up resisting and obediently took out a copy of the contract and handed it to Wang Xuan.
The original could not be given out no matter what. It had to be protected! This was Gu Sheng’s last bit of stubbornness.
Wang Xuan was stunned when she saw the photocopy. She flipped it open and took a few glances. “Is there a need to go so far? It’s so precious. Isn’t this just a labor contract signed? She’s filming for you, but she’s still investing in you? Do you think I’m stupid?! Besides, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t look for the investor to prevent interference in the casting? Who is this Jiang An vixen?!”
Gu Sheng snatched the photocopy indignantly and smoothed out the wrinkles Wang Xuan had taken. He glared at Wang Xuan. “What nonsense are you talking about?! If you spout nonsense and ruin my investment, 1 won’t let you off!”
“The investor is her brother. He brought all his money into the production team! He only interfered with the casting of this one role!”
Wang Xuan and Gu Sheng had been husband and wife for 30 years. As long as it did not involve directing scenes, Gu Sheng would try his best to accommodate Wang Xuan no matter what.
Gu Sheng’s father died early and he was raised by his mother. As soon as he graduated and joined the workforce, his mother got into a car accident and was paralyzed. The mother and son relied on each other. Wang Xuan and he were from the same village and had a crush on him since they were young. She ignored her family’s advice and ran to Jingdu City to help him take care of his mother.
The two of them were a couple who had been through a lot. Even though Wang Xuan was getting fatter and fatter and never paid attention to the news outside, did not have much culture, she was wholeheartedly taking care of her family and did not have any complaints. Gu Sheng had never thought of changing his wife..
