Magnate Tycoon: How Did Simply Enjoying Life Make Me a Male God?

Li Jing's study is quite large.

Apart from the desk, chair, and bookshelf, there's also a small bed and a sofa for him to rest when needed.

At the moment, Li Jing is sitting on the bed, while Wei Jia is on the sofa, their gazes locked on each other.

"Boss Wei, tell me, what brings you here?"

Li Jing shrugged, leaning lazily against the headboard, "You knew I was coming back today, and you came all the way from Lishui City, it can't be to mess up my back.

Besides, if something happens to my back, your future happiness might not be guaranteed."

Hearing this, Wei Jia rolled her eyes in exasperation, crossed her long legs clad in black stockings, and said, "Don't flatter yourself. I'm here in Tianhai to check on Wen Lan's filming progress, I just swung by your place."

"Wen Lan's movie?"

Li Jing almost forgot about it and couldn't help but ask, "How much has she filmed? How's the progress?"

"Wow, you actually remember to ask about this stuff. I thought you only had women on your mind."

Wei Jia took the opportunity to tease him, always eager to have a little rivalry with Li Jing in every aspect.

Not only did it keep her from being overwhelmed by Li Jing's presence, but she found a strange joy in sparring with him, especially when she won.

Then, she briefly explained the filming situation to Li Jing.

This is one of the main topics she wanted to discuss with him.

"Are you saying the whole crew didn't even take a break for Chinese New Year?"

Li Jing was surprised after hearing Wei Jia's words and couldn't help but feel emotional, "You and Wen Lan are truly great pals, absolute workaholics."

Due to Li Jing's own schedule preferences, most of his scenes were filmed before the New Year.

So he rarely needed to be on set, unless something important came up, then Wen Lan would notify him.

"Do you think everyone's as carefree as you? Eating delicacies, flirting with women, your lifestyle is unmatched, even by immortals."

As she said this, Wei Jia couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

Li Jing's current lifestyle is indeed what many people aspire to achieve in their lifetime.

"However, the reason Wen Lan is in such a hurry is because she feels the crew is currently in great shape, so she plans to continue filming without the interruption of the Spring Festival."

Wei Jia recognized Wen Lan's work capabilities, speculating, "At this pace, the movie might be released early if additional funding is available."

"Additional funding?" Li Jing vaguely guessed the reason for her visit.

"Exactly, when it comes to money, Wen Lan and I think of you first."

Wei Jia looked at Li Jing with a playful smile, "Don't be offended, you always spend hundreds of thousands like it's nothing, giving us the false impression that you have endless money.

Of course, that's not possible, so we're just suggesting; you have every right to decline.

But if you're willing to invest more, this movie might be released by May Day, and your share of the profits would increase accordingly."

"Early release by May Day..."

Li Jing furrowed his brows slightly, pondering as he checked the task information on his system.

["Actor's Life" experience task.

Task objective: Participate in a film or television project, portraying a character, and leave a lasting impression on the audience.

Current progress: sixty percent.

Task completion reward: As this is the first experience task, the original reward of one hundred million yuan is heightened to one billion yuan.]

The task progress has advanced to sixty percent...

It seems Wei Jia and Wen Lan were right, the entire film is proceeding in an orderly manner.

If the film manages to premiere by May Day, he might receive the one billion reward early.

Thinking of this, he looked up at Wei Jia, "How much more investment is needed? Are there any benefits to an early May Day release?"

"We're estimating two million more, primarily for set arrangements and additional promotion."

When it comes to work, Wei Jia's attitude turns earnest and professional, "And the biggest advantage of a May Day release is avoiding the competition with two films that are currently being hyped up.

There are already two films with investments over one billion yuan, set to release during the National Day holiday, and their promotions are everywhere. If we release on National Day as well, we might be squeezed out of screenings.

Even if someone wants to see our film, they might not have the opportunity, as cinemas might schedule it at unfavorable times like midnight, severely affecting the movie's box office and influence."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing nodded slightly.

He knew Wei Jia and Wen Lan wanted this film to be a dark horse, aiming for awards.

If the screenings are limited, it would drastically reduce the film's impact and reach.

Thinking of this, Li Jing asked, "Are you sure you can change the release date? Will it affect the quality of the filming?"

"Rest assured, professionals are handling the technical aspects."

Wei Jia explained, "As for the quality of the film's content, Wen Lan is more concerned than you are, as long as she approves, I don't think anyone else in the crew will object."

Hearing this, Li Jing finally nodded, "Alright, two million, I'll invest."

To Li Jing, two million isn't a big deal, even less than he's spent on An Tong. More importantly, the success of this film directly affects the outcome of his task.

If the film doesn't make waves after release, Li Jing's "Actor's Life" experience task might also fail.

The task requires his role to leave a lasting impression on the audience; if the movie flops, there won't be enough viewers to make that impression.

So from any perspective, Li Jing thinks it's worth spending this money.

Seeing Li Jing agree so readily, Wei Jia was slightly surprised.

She and Wen Lan pondered this matter thoroughly because Li Jing had already invested once before, and they thought he might react negatively to further investment requests.

But whether it's because Li Jing isn't bothered by a few million or he truly believes in this film, he agreed without hesitation.

This made Wei Jia give Li Jing an extra glance, raising her eyebrows, "Did you really agree just like that?"

"Why, is there a problem?"

Seeing Wei Jia's doubtful expression, Li Jing glanced at her long legs, a sly smile forming, "Or were you planning to seduce me if I disagreed?"

"Ha, dream on."

Just as the words left her lips, Wei Jia sneered, "You think you can have me for two million, you're underestimating me."

Saying this, she added, "But if you truly disagreed, I was debating whether to use my 'request'."

"Request?"

Li Jing was puzzled, recalling his heated promise in the car earlier that he would fulfill any request she made.

"But it seems unnecessary now."

With alluring eyes, Wei Jia's gaze through metallic glasses rested on Li Jing's face, her red lips slightly curling, "I didn't expect President Li to be so generous, agreeing in a few words over a few million, I guess I underestimated your financial power."

As she spoke, she leaned slightly forward, staring into Li Jing's eyes, "Last time you didn't tell me, how about giving me a hint now, how much money do you have so I can broaden my horizons?"

"Want to broaden your horizons?"

Li Jing raised an eyebrow, stood up, and walked toward her, a smile playing on his lips, "Then you need to let me broaden my horizons first."
