Chapter 76: Who Wants To Be A Bandit?

Hearing that Yan Jinyi wanted to get Second Young Mistress Huo to back out of the investment, Tao Wei immediately panicked. "Please don't. I believe Second Young Mistress Huo chose to invest in our film because she has high expectations of it, right?" 0

Tao Wei smiled sheepishly and said, "However, there is a strong feud between Lin Chenggong and me. I've been harmed by him and I'm traumatized now."

Yan Jinyi expressed assent and said, "At the end of the day, you're just cowardly."

How could that be considered cowardly? 

At most, he just had post-trauma stress disorder! 

"Jinyi, please tell Second Young Mistress Huo that we won't lose. Lin Chenggong is past his prime. I've seen his promotional videos. The filming is rushed and the actors' acting skills are mediocre. How can it compare to ours?" 

Most importantly, Yan Jinyi did an excellent job at acting out the role of Lin Conggui! 

Even Zhuang Heng, who usually had substandard acting skills, had a huge breakthrough. 

Yan Jinyi nodded and asked, "Will they also use a lot of special effects?"

"Yeah, I heard that the Tang Corporation invested in the film together with a few other investors. The cash flow is definitely more flexible than ours." 

'Is 100 million yuan not enough?'

'Tang Corporation...' 

'They seem to have been at odds against the Huo Group for a long time.'

Yan Jinyi rubbed her chin with one hand and said, "Director Tao, we have a good foundation in shooting, we don't have to use excessive special effects."

"But..." 

"Does your impression of a bandit's fortress exist only in your dreams?"

She had long wanted to criticize him. If not for the sake of being forced to sustain a livelihood and leaving her hometown because she had neither any kin nor friends, who would be willing to be a bandit?

However, she enjoyed herself. 

"A proper bandit's fortress is either made of cement or stone. Do you think a group of bandits live in a Jade Pool?"

Slightly stunned, Tao Wei asked, "Well, it's for the sake of aesthetics and attracting the audience?"

"Attract the audience, my foot! In those lousy promotional photos of Lin Chenggong's film, the pirates live on a luxurious and ethereal island. Does he really think the pirates are a bunch of immortals? Aren't you guys particular about the pursuit of reality? It doesn't seem like the case." 

Seeing that Yan Jinyi was losing her temper again, the crew members hurriedly rushed over to surround her. 

They had a strong hunch that apart from Second Young Mistress Huo, there was someone else backing the background actress Yan Jinyi. 

Some people even thought that Yan Jinyi had gotten too immersed in the role that she began to think that she was Lin Conggui, and that she could not distinguish between the film and reality. 

"Director Tao, if you want to beat Lin Chenggong this time, do as I tell you." 

Tao Wei stared at Yan Jinyi whose pretty little face was tensed up. The sun shone on her skin, making it look exceptionally fair. 

She was wearing ancient hair accessories but was dressed in modern clothes, forming a strange and stark contrast. 

"Go ahead." 

Pointing at the fake flowers on the ground, Yan Jinyi asked, "Throw those away. I've been finding them an eyesore a long time ago. Can't this large plot of land be used to grow some grains or build a house? When the bandits are not out there committing robbery, can't they stay at home and enjoy their free time?"

Tao Wei suddenly felt that Yan Jinyi made a lot of sense. 

"Is the other party trying to build a persona for the male lead and selling it?" 

"Yes, yes, Zhang Yilei posted a photo of himself which was taken in the seawater after he put on makeup. His fans are heartbroken and they're all saying that he is dedicated to his craft." 

Yan Jinyi asked in puzzlement, "Who's Zhang Yilei?"

"…"

'Miss, have you really been a background actress of the entertainment industry for three years?' 

"He's playing the male lead in 'Islander' and Zhuang Heng's rival."

"Oh..." Yan Jinyi thought about it for a while and said, "Get Zhuang Heng to come here." 

Lately, Zhuang Heng had been filming under the scorching sun and a large patch of his arm had turned red. At this moment, he was throwing a fit in the makeshift temporary resting room. 

As soon as he heard that Yan Jinyi was looking for him, he immediately ran over excitedly. 

"Little Pepper, you're finally letting me get closer to you, huh?" 

Yan Jinyi barked with a look of disgust, "Take off your clothes and lie on the ground!"
