"How can that be the same? I'm having Xiaoqi study acting under Teacher Liu now so that later on, people will know she belongs to Teacher Liu's lineage. Although that Director Zhang doesn't make very profitable TV dramas, he and his wife still hold considerable influence in the Shanghai film and television circles. Xiaoqi wants to take the exam for the Central Academy of Drama, doesn't she? By having her study under Teacher Liu now, even if she doesn't end up attending the Shanghai Theatre Academy after graduation, she'll still have access to resources here. The entertainment industry is all about resources and connections. If she has access to the resources of both the Central Academy of Drama and the Shanghai Theatre Academy, her acting career will go very smoothly even without relying on us."
"I understand. Won't your company be affected if this drama loses money?"
"It's fine. The film and TV projects I invested in last year have already recovered their costs, and I'll continue to see profits of thirty to forty million coming in gradually down the road, so this little investment won't affect me."
