Chapter 103 Just for Fun
It was as if Charlie had walked straight into a battlefield when she met Alexander.
She bit her lip hard, her gaze flickering nervously towards Alexander.
Alexander, with a smirk that was not quite a smile, extended his hand to Charlie. "Young Master Firth, I've long heard of your reputation. I didn't expect that Glory Group was also setting foot in the entertainment industry," he said.
His words laced with a provocation as clear as the slightly raised eyebrows that accompanied it. His gaze on Charlie was as if he was watching some amusing spectacle.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
His sarcastic tone, combined with his challenging gaze, was so discomforting that even Director Grant, who was standing nearby, felt uneasy. However, since Alexander was the heir to Smoo Media, he didn't dare to offend him and could only force a laugh. Vivian, on the other hand, was so disgusted that she almost pulled Alexander away by his collar.
Deep in thought, Charlie looked at Alexander. His eyes became even more profound, and without a change in his expression, he ignored Alexander's extended hand, and said indifferently.
"I spent three years in Europe, set up a film company and invested in quite a few foreign films. The results were not bad. This time, I found Director Grant's film theme interesting. So I thought I might as well give it a shot and see how the domestic market is. Just for fun. If things go well, I plan to establish a branch in the country."
His statement left everyone in the room holding their breath.
Director Grant and the actors felt a tremor in their hearts. If Charlie were to truly venture into the domestic film market in the future, he would become their golden goose. Wouldn't they be able to film anything as long as they held onto his coattails?
Other investors furrowed their brows upon hearing this. Just for fun? A casual investment from Charlie was enough to out-compete Smoo Media and become the leading investor. If Charlie were to get serious, he would inevitably become the top capital in the domestic entertainment industry. Even Smoo Media would have to step aside.
At that time, it would be challenging for them to compete with Charlie in the entertainment industry...
The most shocked among them was Vivian!
If she had known earlier that Charlie had established an entertainment company during his three years in Europe, she would never have let Nancy marry on her behalf!
She should have cultivated a good relationship with Charlie. Even if Charlie wasn't into women, she would be willing to be his buddy!
Then, when Charlie came back, wouldn't she be able to choose any role she wanted?
Regret... At this moment, Vivian was filled with remorse!
Alexander's hand hung in the air, as Charlie showed no intention of shaking it. Alexander gave a dry laugh, retracted his hand, and looked at Charlie with an arrogant gaze. "Ha... Young Master Firth, you have quite the courage! Investing a hundred million just for fun..."
His gaze shifted to Vivian, and a mocking smile spread across his face. "The
replacedcond female lead was
replaced at the last minute. I
d.ne
suppose Young Master Firth was trying to help Vivian secure this role by throwing money at it, wasn't he?"
Charlie gave him a nonchalant smile, remaining silent.
His ambiguous attitude instantly excited Vivian!
She knew it! Why else would Director Grant decide to cast her as the second female lead just because of a tweet? So it was Charlie who had been throwing money around!
No wonder Director Grant had been looking at her strangely today...
Excitement bubbled up inside her. It seemed that Charlie did indeed like her a lot!
Otherwise who would spend a hundred millions to out-compete the top entertainment company in the country, Smoo Media, and become the leading investor without a good reason?
In her excitement, a blush rose to her cheeks. Without any hesitation, she took Charlie's arm, her eyesè brimming with a pleasing smile. She looked at Charlie with gratitude and said Young Master Firth, you've been too kind to me."
