Huo Yan left the room. After about ten minutes, he returned with a somewhat displeased expression. He sat down and glanced at Liu Meng and Xia Tian, hesitating to speak.

"Is there a problem" Wu Anfeng frowned slightly as he asked.

"Mr. Xia, Miss Liu, I apologize. It's really regrettable, but we can't afford to have Miss Liu act in this film," Huo Yan said with an apologetic look on his face.

"What does that mean" Before Liu Meng and Xia Tian could respond, Wu Anfeng was already furious: "Huo Yan, what's going on Earlier when I suggested Jiang Xiao Yi as the lead actress, you kept saying there were more suitable candidates. So I let you find someone for me, and eventually you found Liu Meng. But we never signed a contract because she didn't agree to it at first. Now that everything is settled and both sides are okay with it, you throw this out of left field Are you playing games with me"

"Director Wu, please don’t be angry, calm down. I assure you this isn’t my intention. All along, I’ve been very keen on helping you make a good film, which is why I insisted on Miss Liu being the lead actress. Now you know that her temperament truly suits this role…" Huo Yan hurriedly explained.

"Since she is so suitable, why can't we let her star in this film" Wu Anfeng interrupted Hou Yan angrily. The saying that big directors have bad tempers is indeed true.

Hou Yan sighed: "Director Wu, it's the investors' decision. I don't have any choice either; I just had a long conversation with him, but he was very firm about his stance. I truly did my best."

"Hou Rock, I told you earlier that apart from Liu Meng, no one else can play the lead role now. This script is mine, and if they don't want to invest, then so be it—I won’t believe I can’t find other investors!" Wu Anfeng was clearly infuriated, leaving such a bold statement.

"Hey, why are you not letting me make movies anymore" Liu Meng finally spoke up at this moment. She looked unhappy and glared at Hou Yan discontentedly, "Are you sick or something You insisted on having me act earlier, but now that I think it might be fun to do so, you won’t let me. Do you believe I wouldn't beat you up"

"Right, why all of a sudden are we not letting Dream Sister be the lead actress anymore" Zhai Yuan was equally dejected; she had been feeling joyful before but now that this film couldn’t go ahead, would her minor role disappear as well

"Well..." Hou Yan was momentarily at a loss.

"Huo, what you're doing here is a bit unfair. You should at least give me a reason, right" Dai Jin also seemed unhappy.

Xia Tian then asked, "Who is Yi Zhiyan"

Huo Yan was taken aback by this question: "Mr. Xia, how do you know..."

"Don't ask me how I know; I just want to know who that idiot is!" Xia Tian said irritably.

"Bro, why are you asking about Yi Zhiyan" Dai Jin was equally puzzled.

Xia Tian turned to look at Dai Jin: "Do you know the idiot Yi Zhiyan"

"This guy, I wouldn't say I know him well, but there's one thing I'm certain about," Dai Jin spoke in a low voice, "He’s a businessman from the coastal area who controls a huge amount of private capital. No one knows exactly how much it is, but it's said that he has control over half of all the private hospitals nationwide, and investing in those hospitals is just one part of his investment portfolio; he also dabbles in real estate, film industry, and other sectors. In short, this guy is a true bigwig in financial circles!"

"Right, I've heard about him too. People say he's quite powerful, but I haven't met him myself," Zhai Yu chimed in.

"So then, does that idiot called Yi Zhiyan have any connection with the ugly Ms. Jiang" Xia Tian asked again.

"I actually don’t know about this." Dai Jin paused for a moment and shook his head, "This matter has something to do with Ms. Jiang"

“Mr. Xia, did you and Miss Liu just have an altercation with Ms. Jiang” At this point, Huo Yan spoke up.

"That disgusting ugly witch who’s full of sores from head to toe tried to bully me through someone else, but we gave her a beating!" Liu Meng was clearly not in the mood and shook Xia Tian's arm, "Little rascal, I'm upset now. What should I do if I want to go ahead with my movie shoot"

"Just take the photos if you want to; it's just money, and we're not short on that," Xia Tian said nonchalantly.

"Right, right! I have money!" Liuliu suddenly became cheerful. She looked at Wu Anfeng and said, "Hey, let’s discuss this: If I pay the costs, shall we continue to make movies"

Wu Anfeng was taken aback: "Miss Liu, making this film will require a huge investment, with a budget of at least 500 million yuan. It might even be more. Are you sure you want to invest in it"

"500 million yuan" Liuliu tilted her head. "Little rascal, I don’t know how much money I have. I need to ask Qiao Donghai."

“No need to ask. Anyway, I have the money. I’ll pay for it,” Xia Tian said without a care in the world. “Director Wu, I’ll invest 1 billion yuan in your film. You just prepare to continue shooting. Discuss the specifics with Qiao Donghai; he will contact you.”

“Mr. Xia, are you serious” Wu Anfeng still found it hard to believe.

"Of course, I'm not in the mood to joke around with you," Summer said a bit unhappily.

"Director Wu, don't worry. Summer definitely has the money." Dai Jin knew what Wu Anfeng was concerned about and spoke up from the side. In fact, Dai Jin didn’t know how much money Summer had, but he felt that this guy who even managed to date Princess Samah of Saudi Arabia couldn’t possibly be short on cash.

"Wow, does this mean I can continue making movies with Dream Sister" Zhai Yuan appeared very excited.

"Of course you can!" Liu Meng replied, "Little rascal, hurry up and call Qiao Donghai. Ask him to handle everything for us!"

Pressed by the impatient Liu Meng, Summer had no choice but to quickly take out his phone and give Qiao Donghai a call. On the other end of the line, upon hearing that Summer suddenly wanted to invest in making a movie with Liu Meng as the leading actress, Qiao Donghai basically understood what was going on; this guy was probably trying to win Liu Meng's favor.

Of course, Qiao Donghai himself also supported this film project. He quickly got in touch with Wu Anfeng and then began discussing the movie over the phone.ckly help my wife with the portrait.""Okay." Ning Jie nodded.
