This is a very private and exclusive restaurant.
Inside a private dining room, Su Yu looked at Yang Mi sitting across from him, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes.
Even though Yang Mi's aura was still far from that of the formidable Boss Yang he remembered,
Mimi was still Mimi, very...
To put it bluntly, her front assets were dazzling enough.
This was the terrifying power of a naturally gifted player.
Combined with her delicate facial features, seductive aura, and the affectionate gaze she fixed on Su Yu,
Su Yu thought: *This is getting interesting.*
Then he looked at Yang Mi's favorability rating toward him, which had just ticked up to 80%.
Well, even more interesting.
"You're going to be the death of me, staring at me like that! You're incorrigible~~"
Yang Mi's face flushed slightly as she blinked, acting coquettishly toward Su Yu in her unique, sweet little baby voice.
Su Yu smiled faintly. "Oh, not at all. It's just that the flowers are in full bloom, and if I didn't appreciate them, it would seem rather devoid of romance on my part~"
As expected, when a handsome person knows how to compliment someone, the effect is simply unbeatable.
One could tell just by looking at how Yang Mi burst into bright, trembling laughter upon hearing Su Yu's remark.
Once she caught her breath, she said:
"When did you turn into such a slick talker? I remember you used to be so aloof! I didn't even dare to talk to you initiative-takingly back then!"
"That must have been me putting on airs."
Su Yu's words successfully made Yang Mi laugh once again.
Instantly, the camera flashes opposite him began to sway violently,
making Su Yu dizzy just looking at them.
After some casual chat, Yang Mi finally stated the purpose of her visit.
"So what you're saying is, you want me to write the script, direct, and also moonlight as the producer, while you act as my investor?"
Yang Mi nodded.
Su Yu silently praised this woman for her good eye—she was a fine Mimi.
Look at that, she didn't even need him to make the first move.
However...
After pondering for a few seconds, Su Yu looked at Yang Mi and asked:
"I have three questions."
"First, why choose me?"
"Second, why trust me?"
"Third, how do we split the returns?"
Yang Mi was slightly taken aback, a look of appreciation dawning in her eyes as she looked at Su Yu. "First, I saw today's entertainment news with reports about you. I figured you definitely needed this opportunity, and I happen to have some idle cash and a few wealthy friends."
"Second, ever since that time you stepped in to block drinks for me and kept that old man from bullying me, I've trusted your character. As for your talent, hasn't that already been proven?"
"Third, a fifty-fifty split."
With that, Yang Mi stared straight at Su Yu, as if trying to see right through him.
Seeing that Yang Mi's favorability toward him had increased to 90%, Su Yu thought for three seconds and nodded in agreement.
Then, however,
he asked: "So how much of a budget has Mimi prepared?"
"Ten million!"
Su Yu did a mental calculation and shook his head. "At least twenty million!"
Yang Mi thought about it, said "deal," and the matter was settled.
Su Yu sighed inwardly. No wonder she would become Boss Yang in the future; with this kind of vision and boldness, she was no ordinary woman.
Only then did the dinner officially begin.
Thanks to Su Yu's high emotional intelligence, the atmosphere was lively and joyous.
Amidst the clinking of glasses, a bottle of red wine was soon emptied.
"Boss Yang, how about we open another bottle?"
"Sure!"
As the saying goes, I know your... you understand my play-hard-to-get...
After another bottle of wine went down, a rosy flush bloomed on both of their cheeks, and their seats edged closer and closer until they were pressed right against each other.
Yang Mi's cheeks, in particular, looked even more sexy and charming under the lights.
"Su Yu, you know what? The way you stood up for me back then was so manly!"
"Su Yu, whenever I faced you before, I always felt you were too dazzling....."
"Brother Su Yu, when I found out you were single again, I was so happy....."
"Brother Su Yu, I've liked you for a very, very long time......"
As the saying goes, alcohol gives courage to the timid, and Yang Mi's boldness had grown quite a bit by this point.
"So when did you start setting your sights on me?" Su Yu asked.
"Guess~~~~"
"Su Yu, I don't want to be here anymore. Take me home!"
Su Yu shook his head to clear it a little, then scooped up the dizzy and groggy Yang Mi in his arms and walked out of the private room.
Afterward, he called Yang Mi's assistant and had her drive them back.
Ten minutes later,
at Yang Mi's home.
"Su Yu, be gentle..."
A sleepless night...
The next day,
when Su Yu woke up from the soft, large bed, Yang Mi was already gone.
Su Yu rubbed his head, picked up his phone, unlocked it, and saw a message Yang Mi had left for him.
"Sleep soundly at my place. Let me know if you need anything. I'm going to the set to reshoot a few scenes and will be back in three days."
Interesting.
Su Yu sighed.
Right at that moment, a "Ding!" sounded in Su Yu's mind.
[Favorability of Yang Mi toward the host has reached 100%. Dropping entry.]
[Entry dropped: (God-tier Director + Memory Master).]
[God-tier Director: Once bound by the host, you will possess the world's top-tier directing skills. Whether it is composition and framing, film pacing, or narrative style, any technique related to directing will reach the absolute pinnacle.]
[Memory Master: Once bound by the host, you can recall any pop culture work from Earth at will whenever needed.]
[Accept / Reject]
With a thought in his mind, Su Yu accepted.
[Congratulations to the host for successful binding]
Immediately, a flood of complex knowledge washed over him.
A few minutes later,
Su Yu felt terrifyingly capable.
"Now, it's finally foolproof."
For the next three days,
Su Yu didn't go anywhere; he locked himself in his room and wrote the script for Goodbye Mr. Loser.
Thanks to the god-tier entry of Memory Master,
writing it was an absolute breeze for Su Yu, effortlessly falling into place.
On top of that, he took the time to write out all the insert songs and theme songs for the movie,
including but not limited to:
Goodbye Mr. Loser, Once Upon You, Those Flowers, Just Once, Nunchucks, A Spray of Plum Blossoms, It's Not Easy to Find Someone Who Loves You, Chrysanthemum Terrace, Meeting in '98, No Longer Hesitating, Swords and Sabers, and others.
Three days flashed by in the blink of an eye.
Su Yu had completed the script within those three days, waiting only for Yang Mi to return and the funds to arrive so they could officially launch the project, file for approval, build the crew, recruit staff, cast roles, and start filming.
Oh right,
he had registered the copyrights the moment he finished writing the script and songs.
Su Yu had considered having Yang Mi play the role of Ma Dongmei.
However...
she wasn't a good fit.
So, settling for second best, she would just have to play Qiu Ya.
"Mimi playing Qiu Ya, I'm rather looking forward to it~~"
That evening, Yang Mi returned home carrying a wave of exhaustion.
As the saying goes, out of sight for a day...
As the saying goes, a brief parting...
In short, the moment the two met, their eyes were full of each other.
Yang Mi: Su Yu, I want to look at the script first and study the character.
Su Yu: Don't look at it, I'll explain it to you.
Yang Mi: Then let me change my clothes....
Su Yu: No... no...~ Workplace women have the most charm.
