Chapter 26 Oda: Do we still have a chance?
Early the next morning,
Gu Yi made a cross-border call to the other side of the peninsula.
After repeated communication, he spent three days successfully acquiring the adaptation rights to a film under the name of Guyi Media.
After signing the contract and making the payment, Gu Yi scrolled through his mobile banking transaction history with a calm expression. He knew this was just the beginning.
At the same time, he also made an appointment with a director from Wanhe Tianyi to go to Beijing to discuss joint investment and film production.
11 month 16 day,
Gu Yi dialed a number in Chengdu.
"Director Yang, hello, I'm Gu Yi."
Once the call connected, he didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
"I heard that 'Ne Zha' is currently facing a tight budget. Would you be willing to invest?"
On the other end of the phone,
Jiaozi was taken aback when she heard that the person was someone she didn't recognize.
"Who are you, and how did you find my contact information?"
Gu Yi then introduced his background.
"The information came from Yida Pictures."
His tone was natural, showing no fear whatsoever, using Yida's name to intimidate others.
Unfortunately, Jiaozi refused outright.
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I cannot accept your investment."
"Director Yang, I'm from Chongqing and I'm very familiar with the story of Nezha. I happen to be looking to develop the film and television industry in Sichuan and Chongqing, and that's why I contacted you after learning about the situation of your project."
"It still doesn't work!"
Jiaozi was confident in its animation, but the market was too volatile, and it couldn't afford to cheat its fellow villagers.
Moreover, he didn't have the final say on this film; his own company's shareholder, Coloroom Pictures, is affiliated with Fiber Optics.
Gu Yi had anticipated this and spoke calmly.
"Director Yang, you don't want to spend several years' worth of effort only to have it rushed to release before it's even finished due to funding issues, do you?"
"I didn't invest much; 1000 million should be enough for you to cover the shortfall, and I won't interfere with the creative process."
Jiaozi remained silent for a moment, then said helplessly.
"Your persuasion won't work; it takes Mr. Wang from Fiber Optics' approval."
"That's perfect. I happen to be going to the capital tomorrow on business. If it's convenient for you, why don't you come with me?"
Gu Yi glanced at the adaptation rights file on the computer.
They felt more confident.
"I'll talk to Mr. Wang."
"I'll reimburse your airfare and accommodation; how about you take a break and relax?"
Are you confident you can persuade him?
Jiaozi's voice carried a hint of probing.
He is indeed facing financial difficulties right now. His wife is currently relying on her savings to pay the team's salaries.
Since I've already tried to persuade them,
Let Lao Wang handle it.
I happened to be thinking of asking him for money anyway.
This is a rare opportunity.
Most importantly, it's free!!!
"certainly!"
"Okay, let me ask first."
"no problem."
The two hung up the phone.
Not long after,
Gu Yi's phone rang.
Jiaozi's name was displayed on the screen.
"So, did he agree?"
Jiaozi's voice, barely concealing his excitement, came from the other end.
"Mr. Wang is very interested in you. He wants to meet you. If there are no problems, then we'll fly to Beijing tomorrow and meet backstage?"
"no problem!"
Gu Yi smiled and agreed.
at the same time,
With the popularity of "Undersea" on Douyin,
His Weibo followers also surpassed five million. However, the growth curve was no longer as rapid as in the early stages.
On the morning of November 17th,
Tian Xiwei listened to this song for a whole week.
The more she listened, the more heartbroken she felt about the lyrics, fearing that Gu Yi was hiding something and couldn't think straight.
Moreover, Xiaotian is not the type to be coy or hesitant; holding it in for a few days was already her limit.
In the end, they decided to go directly to the person's door and confront them.
Before setting off, she shared her thoughts with Xiao Lu.
Xiao Lu looked at her speechlessly.
"Are you being horny?"
"Besides, with you being so eager, it's easy for you to give it away for nothing."
"I'll go check it out and be right back."
Tian Xiwei looked serious.
"Go ahead, go ahead."
"I'll let you keep chattering away."
"I'm so tired of hearing about it."
Xiao Lu told her to get lost.
It is often said that love is the most hurtful thing, and the ancients were right.
My best friend,
How did it turn out like this?
Filled with anxiety and anger, Tian Xiwei rushed to Gu Yi's door in her sneakers and pounded on it so hard that the sound echoed in the hallway.
I knocked for a full five minutes, but there was no response from inside.
She was about to explode with anger, but she held back and instead dialed Gu Yi's number.
At this moment, Gu Yi was on his way to the airport.
He answered the phone in the car.
"Feed?"
"Gu Yi, why aren't you home?"
"I knocked on the door for a long time but no one answered."
Tian Xiwei's voice carried a hint of grievance.
"I'm on my way to the capital."
Gu Yi's voice came through the receiver.
It even had some background noise from car horns.
Tian Xiwei's heart tightened.
When are you coming back?
"I don't know, he might not come back."
"Maybe I'll stay in the capital in the future."
Gu Yi answered casually, without giving it much thought.
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, followed by suppressed sobs. Tian Xiwei thought about how Gu Yi had left Shanghai because of her, and tears streamed down her face.
Gu Yi knew that if she cried, it would be troublesome, and she might even start cursing on social media, although he didn't mean any harm.
"Don't cry!"
But Oda just couldn't stop.
Gu Yi was truly at his wit's end.
He doesn't want to be trending on social media!
"Wait for me!"
He looked at the driver.
"Master, please turn back."
"That would cost a lot more."
"fine!"
A few minutes after the car drove back,
When Gu Yi returned to his front door, he saw Tian Xiwei huddled there, wearing a white coat, a pink hat and scarf, her shoulders trembling.
She was crying very sadly.
Gu Yi walked over and gently patted her back.
"Why are you crying?"
The moment Tian Xiwei raised her head and her large, watery eyes met his gaze, the genes of the Sichuan-Chongqing Tyrannosaurus Beast suddenly awakened on the spot.
She pounced on him suddenly.
She pounded on Gu Yi's chest with her little pink fists.
"You bastard!"
"Are you deliberately avoiding me?!"
Gu Yi effortlessly caught a flurry of soft punches, and was momentarily stunned, somewhat bewildered.
"No."
"sorry!"
"Sorry for what?"
"Didn't you leave Shanghai for Beijing because my company is there?"
Tian hope sniffled, tears still streaming down her face, but she maintained her aloof demeanor.
"I plan to study in the capital."
Gu Yi opened the door, stepped aside to let her in, and calmly told the truth.
"Oh? You're going to study?"
She blinked her red, swollen eyes, her face filled with disbelief.
"Let's talk inside."
"Oh, oh~"
Tian Xiwei followed him into the room, looking completely bewildered.
So embarrassed I was digging my toes into the ground.
I never imagined that I had just imagined things and misinterpreted the situation.
However, nothing in the room had changed.
The blanket and throw pillows that I bought for the sofa are still in their original places.
A warmth filled her heart, and she stepped forward to hug Gu Yi from behind.
"Gu Yi, do we still have a chance?"
