The path to becoming a tycoon begins with binding to the Godly Rich System.

"Mr. Yu, I'd like to offer you a toast." In a private room of a high-end restaurant, a ruddy-faced middle-aged man downed the wine in his glass in one gulp.

"Haha, Director Qin is so generous!" Li Lei, sitting next to Director Qin, clapped and cheered.

Turning to Yu Heng, he said, "Mr. Yu, don't be fooled by Director Qin's hearty drinking. He doesn't usually drink much. It's only because you're here that he would just drink water."

"Oh?" Yu Heng turned his head in surprise: "If Director Qin can't drink, then don't drink. I don't really like drinking either."

Knowing that Yu Heng wouldn't stay long, Li Lei hurriedly brought Qin Zhe over in less than two days.

They are currently in a private room at a private restaurant near the film and television base.

Yu Heng, Gao Zhiyuan, Li Lei, Director Qin, and a thin young man wearing glasses sat in a traditional courtyard private room, enjoying the scenery and food.

"This, this, thank you, Mr. Yu." Qin stammered for a long time before finally managing to utter a word of thanks.

"President Yu, please don't mind him. Director Qin is just a little inarticulate." The young man sitting on the far side quickly stood up and handed the folder in his hand to Yu Heng: "President Yu, please take a look at this. It's the script outline for 'Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon'."

This young man, Xu Yuan, the screenwriter of "Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon," is Li Lei's cousin. That's why Li Lei went to great lengths to help Qin Zhe after Xu Yuan gave him the script.

While directors may seem to have a higher status than stars, not all directors in the entertainment industry are above actors.

Unless you're a famous director, you won't have to worry about funding or actors.

Some relatively unknown directors and even slightly famous actors can treat them with disrespect.

Qin Zhe, on the other hand, is a small-time director with some fame.

Although he doesn't have the same high level of artistic cultivation as famous directors, his storytelling and expression skills are excellent.

Give him a good script and he can make a great film.

But for a director like him who isn't signed to a company and isn't very famous, the scripts that come his way are limited.

So when he received such a high-quality script, he wanted to film it no matter what.

"President Yu, please rest assured. Although I, Qin, am not a well-known director in the industry, the TV series I direct always follow the script." Qin looked at Yu Heng as he began to flip through the script, and mustered up his courage to introduce the script to Yu Heng.

"Whatever the script looks like, that's what I'll film."

"I have high hopes for Xiao Xu's script. The story has a unique perspective, the plot unfolds seamlessly, the pacing is tight, and the characters are portrayed very well. Moreover, it perfectly suits the tastes of today's audiences, making it a rare and excellent script!"

When the topic turned to professional matters, Qin Zhe became noticeably more excited: "You said you wanted your friend Mr. Chu Anlan to play the lead role. I've also watched the TV series he's acted in before, and both his acting skills and appearance are a perfect match for our lead role."

Qin paused for a moment, glanced at Yu Heng, and continued, "We have both excellent scripts and suitable actors. Mr. Yu, you definitely won't lose money investing here!"

Yu Heng skimmed through the script and found it to be quite good overall. From a viewer's perspective, he was also interested in continuing to watch.

"What is your estimated budget for filming?" Yu Heng asked Qin Zhe, closing the script and handing the folder to Gao Zhiyuan.

Upon hearing Yu Heng's question, Qin, Li Lei, and Xu Yuan all became excited.

"Well, we estimate it will cost around 60 million." Qin gripped his wine glass tightly, forcing himself to answer calmly, "After all, we still need to add special effects, and if we skimp on that, it will affect the overall viewing experience of the show."

Seeing Yu Heng deep in thought, Xu Yuan said urgently, "Yes, Mr. Yu, we can cut the budget a bit in other areas, but if the special effects are too bad, the show's broadcast effect will be greatly reduced."

Although Li Lei was a little anxious, he didn't say anything. According to what he had heard, President Yu had previously invested 500 million yuan in Guo Mao's new movie!

He picked up his teacup and took a sip: "And judging from how inseparable President Yu and Chu Anlan are, President Yu certainly won't be stingy with his investment in this drama."

"I can invest 200 million yuan in you." Yu Heng has recently gained a better understanding of filmmaking. 60 million yuan might be enough to make a decent drama, but it depends on luck.

To produce a high-quality film, you need at least hundreds of millions: "I want you to do the best in costumes, props, sets, and sets. If you don't have enough funds, I can continue to invest more."

Upon hearing Yu Heng's words, Qin Zhe suddenly stood up, his movement so forceful that the stool tilted and made a jarring sound.

He ran up to Yu Heng, grasped Yu Heng's hands in both, and said in a trembling voice, "Thank you, President Yu. I will not let you down."

Yu Heng was speechless.

"Director Qin said he would definitely make a good film and would never let Yu Heng's funds go to waste." Xu Yuan caught up from behind, pulled the excited Qin aside, and said to Yu Heng, "Thank you so much, President Yu. Director Qin and I will toast you again."

He picked up the wine bottle and filled it for him and Qin Zhe, then raised his glass to Yu Heng and downed it in one gulp.

Startled by Xu Yuan's sudden action, Qin Zhe, who had been somewhat flustered, instantly calmed down.

He quickly said with a beaming smile, "Yes, yes, Mr. Yu, you are so generous! I must drink this glass of wine first as a sign of respect!" After saying that, Qin tilted his head back without hesitation and drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Seeing this, Li Lei, who was sitting to the side, also quickly picked up his wine glass.

Standing up, Li Lei smiled and said to President Yu, "Hahaha, President Yu, your help has been invaluable! With such a powerful investor like yourself, they can now truly rest easy! I'd like to toast you as well." Before he finished speaking, Li Lei also downed his drink in one gulp.

"If there's anything I can do for you in the future, Mr. Yu, please don't hesitate to ask. My team and I will do our utmost to serve you!" Li Lei said to Yu Heng as he sat down.

After they were seated, Li Lei still had a bright smile on his face. He warmly invited Qin and the other person to sit down and chatted and joked with them in a friendly manner.

It's worth noting that this cooperation between the two parties was entirely facilitated by Li Lei, who acted as a go-between.

He also gained a lot. On his own, he successfully made the acquaintance of Mr. Yu, an industry leader; on his own, he did Qin and his team a great favor.

How could he not be happy and overjoyed?

At this moment, Li Lei couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Truly, appearances can be deceiving! Who would have thought that behind a seemingly unknown and not-so-famous little starlet lies such a powerful and influential 'golden thigh'!"
