Chapter 386: Consideration
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Yu Han deliberated over her words. “Now that the drama has been filmed, it’s impossible for us to give up on this project. Hence, we can only increase the funds. However, I have two solutions. What do you think is more suitable?”
Yu Han’s idea was very simple. “Or you can continue to invest more. Of course, if you think the risk is too great and are unwilling to take this risk, that’s not a problem. I can invest more money.”
As for whether she would fork out the money personally or in the name of the studio, she had to discuss this with He Meng, the studio manager.
Speaking of which, Ji Jun had invested in so many large projects under him, so he did not take this small investment seriously. However, just as Yu Han said, every investment had a problem of return. In the past, he would definitely calculate the risk gains inside before deciding if he should continue to increase it or how much he should increase it.
After all, no matter how rich he was, that money did not come from nowhere.
However, now that this matter involved Yu Han, Ji Jun’s perspective was definitely different. He asked Yu Han, “I’m fine with anything. Let’s focus on what you think.”
Yu Han was also in a dilemma. She was absolutely confident in this drama. She believed that it would not fall silent as long as it was released.
However, the success of a good drama or movie was sometimes not determined by a single factor, but by the timing, geographical advantage, and people.
There was no need to worry about the production team. Yu Han believed in Old Bai’s standards, so the quality of the final film would definitely not be a problem. However, in terms of the timing and geographical advantage, that might not be the case.
Now, because she and Ji Jun were involved, the direction of the production team of “Midsummer’s Time” was very different from in the book. Firstly, the first female lead and second female lead had changed. Secondly, because the filming of the movie was relatively smooth, not only was the filming time much faster, but even the filming period was shortened by half.
If the post-production was successfully completed, coupled with Ji Jun’s connections, the release date would be much earlier. Hence, under a freak combination of factors, Yu Han was not confident that this television drama would still be as popular as the one in the book.
At that time, she pulled Ji Jun into the production team because she wanted to repay him for a project that earned money. However, if she let Ji Jun invest too much and could not achieve the desired benefits, this repayment would become repayment of kindness with ingratitude.
Hence, Yu Han did not dare to pat her chest and say to Ji Jun, “It’s fine. Don’t worry and invest. Invest boldly. We’ll definitely be able to help you earn your money back.”
Hence, Yu Han thought for a while and finally chose the latter plan. “Why don’t I pay for the rest first?”
Ji Jun nodded. “Alright, let’s change the contract again when the time comes.” After all, Ji Jun had paid the most for the initial contract, so he had the most shares. Now that Yu Han was going to enter the game, the distribution of shares would also change.
“Alright, I’ll contact you when I’m done here.”
Yu Han decided to discuss the investment with He Meng later and settle it as soon as possible, in case Bai Chao kept waiting.
After talking about serious matters, Yu Han wanted to hang up. However, Ji Jun thought that it would be a happy thing to hear Yu Han’s voice since the two of them had not seen each other for a few days, so he wanted to take the opportunity to say a few more words. He could not bear to hang up just like that.
He asked casually, “How’s your revision for the exam recently? Two days ago, Director Sun and Wang Mian were still asking about you. They said that after seeing you revising in the corner of the set previously, they’re not used to not seeing you now.”
Yu Han thought about her current revision progress and gave a conservative answer. “It’s alright. I should be able to sort out all the knowledge points before the college entrance examination.”
Ji Jun recalled that there were two times when Yu Han’s results were trending. Then, she was attacked by many people, afraid that Yu Han would feel pressured about it.
“Didn’t I hear from your tutor that your revision progress is quite good? There shouldn’t be a problem. Moreover, you’re in an art school. You don’t have to give yourself too much pressure in terms of cultural points.”
Yu Han was too embarrassed to tell him that she had already changed her choice and abandoned the art school to apply for the best comprehensive university in the country. She replied, “I know, but I’ll do my best..”
