How To Say I Love You

Extra Chapter Sponsored (Part1/5). Thanks for the Ko-Fis

Xiao Jiashu knew that the entertainment industry was very muddled, but he didn’t know that it could be this chaotic. It was just a company renting a studio. The staff invited here were just like the underworld gangsters, with dragons and phoenixes tattoos on their body. They even dared to attack children.

But he also knew there was nothing he could do with his own small physique. He took out his chequebook and shouted as he walked towards them, “What’s the trouble! I’ll pay the rest of the rent. How much is it?”

The men who were creating a ruckus turned around to face him, they noticed that his million-dollar wristwatch, clothes and shoes were all from famous brands, so they decided to stop what they were doing. One of the goons replied with a number and he quickly filled out the check. “Hurry off or I’ll call the police”, he said as he threw out the check to them. Several of the goons were hired by the boss who was willing to beat up and smash stuff to get the money, all these would make them tired. Therefore, they immediately picked up the check and left without any extra words.

Wei Jiang, who was knocked to the ground, stood up with the help of his two employees and said whilst holding his bleeding forehead, “Xiao Xiao, it’s thanks to you just now. I will write you a debit note, and I will guarantee that within seven days the money will be returned to you.” His house had found a buyer, and it should be available within seven days.

Then he looked around worried, “Are the children okay?”

The staff responsible for taking care of the children quickly waved their hands, “Director Wei, rest assured, the children are all outside and not injured. You just broke three cameras, look … ”

Wei Jiang looked pale and then sighed. Those cameras were also rented out. One already cost tens of thousands of yuan. At least tens of thousands of dollars would need to be paid for smashing three cameras, this was not a small expense. But in any case, “A Dream of a Hundred Years ” must be filmed, because this was not only his dream but also that of the children.

When Xiao Jiashu saw that his depressed state, he immediately asked, “Director Wei, I just watched the sample film and I think your drama has great potential. I want to invest some money. What do you think?”

“Ah?” It took a long time for Wei Jiang to realize what Xiao Jiashu was talking about, rubbing his hands, “Wait, Mr Xiao, you have to know whether our drama is a children’s play or a remake of the timeless classic” A Dream of a Hundred Years”, currently no one in the entertainment industry has done this before, and it is very questionable whether it can be profitable. If you invest in this show, aren’t you afraid of losing money? ”

He has also tried to bring in investment, but when they heard that it was a children’s play, they shake their head first, and when they hear that the remake was “A Dream of a Hundred Years”, the head-shaking becomes even more intense. Xiao Jiashu was the first investor to come to them, but still, he must explain the situation in any case.

Xiao Jiashu didn’t take it seriously and said, “I have seen it and I think it’s good, so I will invest. It is my business whether you and the children can sell the movie or not. In this way, you get me a plan book and a budget statement I’ll take it back to have a look at it first. ”

""

Wei Jiang’s back straightened little by little, rubbing his hands and scurrying about in the studio, then he remembered that he put the planning book in his car and rushed to get it.

Xiao Jiashu grabbed him, concerned, “Don’t worry, first deal with the forehead injury, the children are outside, don’t scare them.”

“Ah, okay!” Wei Jiang sat down immediately and asked two female prop crewmembers to help themselves with the wound.

Just then, a group of people rushed in with a stick, and the leader yelled, “Who the fuck is here to smash the studio? They don’t care who Zhao Chuan is! I tell you, I’ve called the police and I won’t leave until I see you all in jail! What happened to you, Old Wei, Old Wei? BoRong and BoYi are with me, don’t worry about it. ”

The bodyguard sent by Xue Miao just arrived in time and were treated as the hooligans by him.

“Everyone its a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! We are not here to destroy the scene; we are Mr Xiao’s bodyguard.” Xiao Jiashu’s assistant explained nervously sweating. The bodyguards don’t do anything with ordinary people, they just took a defensive stance.

The young leader wore a flowery shirt and a pair of ragged jeans. His half-length hair tied back in an unwashed way which made him seem more like a hooligan. He pointed to the personal assistant with his forefinger, “Mr Xiao? Who is Mr Xiao? What about fooling your grandfather?”

“Director Zhao, it’s truly a misunderstanding! This is Mr Xiao. He was the one who helped me keep the children safe and sent the rascals away by paying the rent. Mr Xiao is a good man. Those hooligans have already left.” Wei Jiang squeezed to the young man and eagerly said,” They are Mr Xiao’s bodyguards. They just arrived and haven’t understood the situation yet. These are all misunderstandings, please everyone! ”

The young man named Zhao Chuan looked at the troubled Wei Jiang and looked at Xiao Jiashu’s expensive clothes, which helped to diffuse the situation. They were also filming in a nearby studio and rushed as soon as they received the news.

“I’m so sorry just now.” The young man changed his face extremely quickly. Not long ago he had been threatening and now he smiled heartily.

“It’s okay, you are kind enough to help too.” Xiao Jiashu glanced at his watch and said, “Director Wei, maybe you can send the plan book to my email. I’ll leave you my contact information. Your forehead is bleeding, its best to get examined in a hospital and see if there is a concussion. It is not a joke to hurt your head. ”

He hesitated for a moment, before adding,” Your house should not be sold. Where would Wei Borong and Wei Boyi live? I’ll take charge of the Follow-up investment, so you don’t have to worry. ”

Wei Jiang was moved to tears. The stranger you met for the first time, who cared if you are profitable not? Who cared about his children? Mr Xiao was such a good person! He nodded while seeing him off to the studio entrance, but did not notice Zhao Chuan whose eyes lit up.

“Mr Xiao, since you’re here, why don’t you come to my set and have a look? It’s not far away, just a couple of steps away, I tell you, we are also shooting an ancient drama …” He ran up to Xiao Jiashu like a monkey. The child’s shamelessness that could not be beaten due to his thick-skinned cheek approached Xiao Jiashu. He was able to lure the god of fortune to another studio a hundred meters away.

Xiao Jiashu became dizzy with his chatter as his arm was held unto, and he couldn’t walk away even if he wanted to. He finally arrived at the studio and examined it, getting more and more faint. What’s this about? How can an actress in an ancient drama wear a tube top and miniskirt? Is that white pearl inlaid wedding dress? And that shoe! Although he didn’t read much, don’t lie to me. The ancients of the great heavens never wore Roman strappy sandals!

Xiao Jiashu’s eyes felt sore as he desperately wanted to shed some tears. He was trying to firmly push away the script handed out by Zhao Chuan, but then he heard the other party say indignantly, “Our crew is simply a conscientious one. The stylist we hired is the internationally renowned emerging designer Jess. He has won The Women’s Designer of the Year Award and the Best Jewelry Designer of the Year Award from the American Fashion Designers Association. Look at our cast, aren’t they beautiful? Creative? I can’t figure out why people are saying it’s not up to standard! There must be something wrong with their eyes!”

“If you look at these scenes again, they are all built-in accordance to my ideas, and they integrate the architectural essence of the major dynasties of the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. It’s elegant and luxurious! The actors wear exquisite costumes, which overall paints a fantastic painting! ”

He pointed to the actors who were eating their lunch, and continued, “These actors, although they are all newcomers who haven’t made their debut yet, the value of each one is so high that they can fascinate people without speaking! When it comes to actors, I am f**king mad, a while ago there was a female actress named Li who came to audition for the heroine role. Her voice was of unique quality and she had a handsome face. So, I was going to hire her to play a princeling. She broke her contract and used the excuse that her mother was ill, that the money I offered was not enough. I said I would give her a share in the movie, but she was unwilling to compromise and discredited my work saying that I can’t make a movie. This move is my dream, the actors are beautiful, the style is novel, and the plot is interesting. It will definitely be a hit in the future. I will not regret it when I see her then!”

Xiao Jiashu who had been pushing aside the script decided to hold it. He tentatively asked, ” Surnamed Li, female actress Li Jia’er? ”

” Do you know her? “Zhao Chuan, fluttered becoming cautious for a moment, for fear that Mr Xiao might be connected to Li Jia’er.

“I don’t” Xiao Jiashu collected the script and said earnestly, “I’ll see if your project is right for me, and I will give you a reply by tomorrow. My mobile phone number is 139XXXXXXXX, if you can’t get through, you can come to Studio 6 to find me. I film there during the day.”

Zhao Chuan was thick-skinned and was not easily embarrassed. Seeing Mr Xiao’s expression was thoughtful and didn’t look like someone out to cheat someone else. He happily committed the phone number to memory.

Xiao Jiashu, who passed through some period of confusion and rebellion, had finally recovered his true nature. He was earnest in his work and firm in his goal. Otherwise, he would not have completed his undergraduate and master’s studies in just four years. It took him one night, to thoroughly study the script for “A Dream of a Hundred Years” and formulated a new plan. The production team for “A Dream of a Hundred Years” were in danger of stopping shooting at any time. How could he not hurry?

After a short rest of two hours, by the next morning, he went to the “Apostles” crew. He did not forget to bring along the planning book and script of “The Cold Crown Prince is a beautiful Princess,” and was ready to go through it during filming. As usual, he bought breakfast for Director Luo and others. Whilst stirring the seafood porridge, he opened the thick pile of information.

“Didn’t you sleep well last night?” Ji Mian sat down beside him.

“I stayed up late.” Xiao Jiashu confessed honestly, and greeted, “Ji-Ge, yours is in the second food bag on the left.”

“What kind of porridge are you eating?” Ji Mian sniffed.
