Only after being reborn did I realize how fascinating the world of the rich is.

That day, Li Xiaofeng was in his office reading the work reports sent by Liu Qianqian and Miao Peipei when Fang Huiya walked in from outside and habitually locked the door behind her.

Li Xiaofeng pulled her into his arms, made her sit on his lap, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong? Is there something you need?"

Fang Huiya hesitated for a moment, bit her lip, and said weakly, "Xiaofeng, Feng Dahai called me yesterday. He and a few others are investing in a TV series, with his father as the director. They asked if I was interested in being the female lead!"

"What stage is the project at? What type of script is it? Has the funding been secured? What is the total investment? Which well-known actors have been cast?"

"I haven't asked about that in detail yet. That's why I came to ask for your opinion first. But I think if Director Feng were to direct it, it probably wouldn't be too bad. At the very least, it should be able to be broadcast on television!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true. Director Feng is only of average to above-average level among directors in the film and television industry. He is still a long way from being a well-known director."

Now that you mention it, it seems like this so-called TV series is just a small meeting where a few people have agreed to work out a project: no actors, no script, limited funding, and they're offering their sincere invitations!

Fang Huiya wrapped her arms around Li Xiaofeng's neck, rested her head on his shoulder, and remained silent.

"Alright, alright, I know you're determined to make it in the film industry and become a big star. Now that you've finally got an opportunity, you don't want to miss it, right?"

Fang Huiya leaned on Li Xiaofeng's shoulder and nodded slightly.

Li Xiaofeng said somewhat helplessly, "Alright then, Feng Dahai told you, right? I'll go talk to him first and see what this so-called TV series is all about!"

Don't worry, even if this isn't very realistic, if I can help you make it happen, I definitely will. You're so desperate to act right now!

Fang Huiya pouted and said weakly, "I've been studying for so many years, and this is what I've been learning. It's also my wish since I was a child. I don't really want to be an office worker, even a high-level white-collar worker."

Soon, Li Xiaofeng called Feng Dahai, who, along with his father, Sun Wenxuan, and Cao Jinpeng, came to the villa he had just moved into.

"Holy crap, Xiaofeng, you're amazing! I remember you used to live in a one-bedroom apartment, and now you're living in a villa right after graduation!" Cao Jinpeng felt that he was closest to him and was quite familiar with him in front of everyone.

However, Li Xiaofeng felt quite emotional. The once high and mighty leader in the dormitory changed his attitude drastically after making some money from him, and almost became his underling.

Upon hearing Cao Jinpeng's compliment, Li Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Do you, Boss Cao, really need to envy me? Didn't your family already live in a villa a long time ago?"

As Li Xiaofeng spoke, he gestured for everyone to sit down.

He, however, had his arm around Fang Huiya, crossed his legs, and looked very relaxed as he said, "I heard from Huiya that you guys are going to make a TV series together. What kind of TV series are you going to make? Do you have a script?"

Feng Dahai immediately said in a somewhat obsequious tone, "President Li, it's like this, the film and television industry is a bit tough these days. A few days ago, we discussed it and decided to shoot a higher-class TV series."

The specific genre hasn't been decided yet. My dad's idea is to make an urban romance drama, since those kinds of dramas have lower production costs and are easier to film.

Li Xiaofeng smiled and shook his head, saying in a calm tone, "The filming costs for urban dramas are indeed relatively low, and the production costs are not high. However, while it is relatively easy to film an urban drama, it is not easy to produce a good and popular one."

It's too bland, lacks originality, and the audience won't like it. If it's too radical, it might violate censorship and fail to pass, resulting in total financial ruin.

Feng Dahai said with a grin, "It's okay, with Brother Xuan's connections as a guarantee, as long as the quality of the filming is about the same, he can sell it!"

Li Xiaofeng shook his head again: "I don't really like non-market-oriented things. Relationships are necessary, but if the company's lifeline relies entirely on relationships, it's actually very risky!"

"What does Mr. Li mean?"

"I think we should make an anti-Japanese war drama about fighting the Japanese invaders. At least this type of TV series is easier to pass censorship. We can invite a veteran actor with solid acting skills to support the production and mentor newcomers like Huiya."

Seeing Li Xiaofeng's expression, Director Feng, who was already somewhat impatient, complained, "Why should I be able to decide what to film? I'm the director, and I make the decisions!"

Li Xiaofeng said in a nonchalant tone, "Then why did you come to me? Is it just to give Huiya, this newcomer to film and television, a leading role? Are you that kind?"

Seeing that the others remained silent, he continued, "If it's okay, then it's okay. If not, then please leave!"

Director Feng said irritably, "You make it sound so easy. If you want to film an anti-Japanese war drama, you definitely have to go to other places to shoot on location. A whole bunch of people will be brought to other places, and the costs of food and supplies will increase significantly."

If we were to add a veteran actor to bolster the production, the cost would be at least ten million. Where would we get that kind of money?

Li Xiaofeng smiled, pointed at the group of people and said, "With so many of us, can't we even scrape together ten million? Me, Boss, and Wenxuan, each of us will contribute three million, that's already nine million."

Director Feng, you've been in the film industry for so many years, surely your family could easily contribute a million?

Director Feng glanced at him and said irritably, "I only care about making movies, not about investment!"

Li Xiaofeng smiled faintly: "You're the director. If you don't contribute any money, how can this TV series be filmed? Only when it's related to your own interests can you put in your best effort. Don't you agree?"

After listening to Li Xiaofeng's words, Sun Wenxuan and Cao Jinpeng both nodded.

Just then, Tang Shanshan walked in from outside.

"Hey, so many people here! Old Feng, what brings you here today?"

As Tang Shanshan spoke, she naturally sat down on the other side of Li Xiaofeng and nestled in his arms.

Li Xiaofeng, with one woman in each arm, smiled and said, "I'm discussing making a TV series with Director Feng, thinking of having him invest in it himself, but he's not willing!"

Tang Shanshan smiled and said in a teasing tone, "Don't blame him. He's not someone who's unwilling to do his best; he's just a miser!"

Director Feng immediately became somewhat embarrassed and angry: "Who's a miser? I'll invest then! A mere million, I, Old Feng, can easily come up with it!"
