Chapter 335: Not Following The Script

Looking at Lan Xins hopeful little eyes, and with Xixi also pleading him for help, Yang Yi reluctantly took out his phone and called Lan Zhoukai.

While waiting for the busy Lan Zhoukai to answer the phone, Yang Yi gave Lan Xin a heads-up and said, Xiner, let me tell you in advance, your dad probably wont agree

Before he could finish speaking, the call was connected, and Lan Zhoukais loud voice came out, Brother Yang, its rare for you to call me. Whats the matter?

Yang Yi then told him about Lan Xin and a few other little girls wanting to act in a movie. He tried to make the situation sound worse and said, My movie is just a micro-movie, a small movie. Its not a big production at all. And they are so young. Im afraid they might not be able to handle it, or it might be too difficult for them

What Yang Yi wanted to hear now was Lan Zhoukais rejection. He had already simulated the lines for Boss Lan: No way, what acting in a movie? This is nonsense. What do these children know?

However, Lan Zhoukais indifferent voice came from the phone: So thats it! Its no big deal! Xiner also told me that she wanted to act in a movie, and I thought it was something else. Anyway, since your movie is a small production, why dont I invest some money for you? You ask the director if a few more people can be added.

Lan Zhoukais voice was as loud as his daughters. Both Lan Xin and Xixi heard it and the two little girls looked at each other excitedly.

But Yang Yi was a bit confused. The script was not going as what he had imagined!

h.e.l.lo, Brother Yang, just go and ask how much money is needed. Is two million enough? The maximum is ten million. Let the director give you a price! Can you hear me? Brother Yang, Brother Yang? Lan Zhoukais voice kept coming from the phone.

No need for money, its not a matter of money. Yang Yi said with a wry smile, feeling a bit of a headache.

Then whats the problem? Hey, its not a big deal. Isnt it just a few children wanting to play? Lan Zhoukai was somewhat puzzled. Or is there a problem with your director?

Yang Yi could only sigh and say, No one has a problem. Alright, since you also agree to let them act in the movie, Ill figure something out!

Lan Zhoukai said with satisfaction, Thats settled then. If youre short on money, just tell me. How about I give you ten million first

Yang Yi perfunctorily hung up Lan Zhoukais phone call.

Without needing Yang Yi to inform them, the two little girls were already jumping happily. Lan Xin smiled and said, Xixi, my dad agreed. Im going to act in a movie with you.

My Papa also agreed. Were going to act in a movie together, yay! Xixi also held her little friends hand and giggled. Her little face that was slightly red from the cold looked as cute as a blooming flower at this moment.

Yang Yi looked at his daughters happy expression and helplessly shook his head.

He decided not to consult with the parents of other children. He would figure it out on his own. After all, he already had two children on board. What harm could a few more do?

In the evening, after Yang Yi put Xixi to sleep, he went to his study and turned on his computer that had been running.

On the computer screen, a recording program was running. According to the program, each hour of recording would be divided and saved as separate files.

Yang Yi had already listened to the recordings from the afternoon. He put on his headphones, opened a new audio file, and started listening at double speed. The voices in the headphones were all conversations between Ju Jie and the people around him or the people he was calling.

Today, when dealing with Mo Feis matter, Yang Yi didnt act recklessly. On the contrary, he made a lot of preparations, such as Plan A and Plan B.

Plan B was to observe Ju Jies reaction. If this person was too cunning and difficult to control, Yang Yi wouldnt mind sending him to feed the fish.

Fortunately, Ju Jie was just as he understood him to be, a young master who was eloquent but was as timid as a mouse. As a result, Plan A proceeded exceptionally smoothly.

But even so, it seemed that Yang Yi had completely trusted Ju Jie and had taken him in as one of his own people. But in reality, Yang Yi didnt let his guard down. He still had a trick up his sleeve.

When Ju Jie was unconscious, Yang Yi had already placed a bug in Ju Jies phone. Fortunately, all the phones of this era had replaceable batteries, so removing the back cover wasnt difficult.

This bug was made by Yang Yi himself, a piece of advanced technology he brought from his previous life. It only needed to use the network provided by a new SIM card with internet access as a transmission medium to transmit the eavesdropped content to Yang Yis computer in his study more than ten kilometers away.

The power was naturally drawn from Ju Jies phone battery. Perhaps soon, Ju Jie would complain that his phone was broken

Speaking of this eavesdropping, it was necessary to mention the supplementary plan of Yang Yis Plan A.

If Ju Jie didnt obey and turned against him, as long as Yang Yi detected any hint of threat, he would mercilessly erase him and anyone he had leaked information to from this world. He would never give them a chance to expose him.

But the recordings from the afternoon were fine. Ju Jie was still in shock, s.h.i.+vering at home, muttering to himself for a long time, but he didnt show any intention of calling the police or retaliating against Mo Fei. Instead, when he calmed down, he became oddly elated, thinking that he had hugged Mu Liangs thigh and would never have to worry about food and clothing from now on. He even indulged himself in thinking that one day he would become the most famous singer!

After listening to all this, Yang Yi really didnt know whether to laugh or cry, and his vigilance towards this guy decreased significantly. He temporarily set aside his worries and went to pick up Xixi.

In the evening, there was a new development in this matter. From the content of the eavesdropping, after Ju Jie regained his composure, he couldnt wait to call Niu Mei Ling and ask her to cancel the hype plan. He also confidently said, Aunt, Ive thought it through. Im going to be the most powerful man in the Chinese music industry, so I dont need these hypes at all.

Naturally, Niu Mei Ling was almost infuriated by Ju Jies change. Who was it that had shamelessly begged her for help in the first place? Now that he had caused a bit of riff in her relations.h.i.+p with Mo Fei, he changed his mind and said he didnt want to play this game anymore? Niu Mei Ling couldnt help but put on a posture of an elder and sternly scolded Ju Jie.

However, Ju Jie, like a dead pig that wasnt afraid of scalding, begged for mercy with a smile. Niu Meiling really had no way to deal with him.

So, was this matter considered perfectly resolved?

Yang Yi temporarily put down his worries and also took off his headphones. However, the eavesdropping would continue. Yang Yi needed to observe for a few days to confirm that Ju Jie posed no threat at all before he would completely let him go.

The problem with Ju Jie could be said to have been temporarily resolved, but Yang Yis own problem had just emerged.

He held the script of Fairy Tale and carefully pondered over which scene these children could be inserted. Their roles didnt need to be significant, as long as they could act in one scene and have some fun!

But no matter how he looked at it, Yang Yi couldnt find a scene in this micro-movie that was suitable for children to appear.

Not to mention children, there were hardly any supporting characters in this movie besides the two main actors!

He couldnt possibly modify the script forcefully, could he? That would be ruining a cla.s.sic! Yang Yi couldnt do such a thing!

What to do?

He got it! Yang Yi suddenly thought of a solution!
