Siheyuan: Shazhu's Life Simulator

Xu Tiejun has been a little worried recently, as there are not many people or things that can make him worried.

Because the Xu family has long been the overlord of domestic entertainment.

But there are other companies in the domestic entertainment industry. Even if they are the most considerate, they still have other competitors.

Of course, there are not only competitors, but also many business partners. After all, there are many people who join when they can’t beat them.

Capital is pouring into the entertainment industry, opening the door to business, so Xu Tiejun naturally would not reject the capital.

Every capital has its own demands. Of course, in addition to the main goal of making money, some people will spend a lot of effort to make someone famous.

Xu Tiejun is now facing a situation where he even sacrificed his own interests for this.

A business partner asked her to help make his friend famous.

Originally, making someone famous was not a big deal for him, and he would naturally give face to his partner. But for several times, this girl just didn't become famous. It was too weird.

Small success depends on promotion, big success depends on luck!
Obviously this girl is not destined to be famous. Although she is good-looking and has a strong backer, she is not popular. Alas, what can she do?
"Boss Lu, you are making things difficult for me!"

"Mr. Xu, I know you don't need investment, but I don't want any box office dividends from my investment. I just want to get back my principal. What do you think?"

Xu Tiejun······

Is this guy crazy for a girl?

If you deposit money in the bank, you can get interest, but if you invest it in yourself, you will have to wait for half a year to get dividends, and not only will you not get dividends, you will only get back the principal.

Is this learning from Lei Feng to do good things? Either he is crazy or he is terribly in love with this girl.

But Xu Tiejun was sure that there was no love between them.
"Boss Lu is so romantic!"

"But this movie is full of big names. Not only do you force someone in, but you also want a female lead..."

"Mr. Xu, we are old friends. You will not refuse to help me with this little favor, right?"

"Okay then, I'll run it."

"Tiantian, come on, give a toast to Mr. Xu."

"Mr. Xu, I toast to you."

Xu Tiejun: "Hey, drink slowly."

"If you ask me, TV series are better than movies in terms of making you famous. So you should act in more TV series to build your reputation first."

Tiantian: "But those who act in movies look down on those who act in TV dramas."

Xu Tiejun: "But TV series make more money than movies!"

"Although the movie box office looks high, in fact, the popular TV series make more money than the movies."

Both the host and the guests had a great time. After the drinking party, Xu Tiejun returned home.

Xu Damao: "Liping, serve our son some hangover soup."

Xu Tiejun sat on the sofa: "Mom, no need, I'll just drink some strong tea."

Xu Damao: "Drinking strong tea, I can't sleep at night."

"Listen to me, hangover soup. What's the situation today?"

Xu Tiejun: "Dad, just have a private gathering with Mr. Lu alone!"

Xu Damao: "Why do you drink so much?"

Xu Tiejun: 'There is no other way!'

"For money?"

Xu Damao: "Our family doesn't lack his small fortune."

Xu Tiejun: "Dad, you don't know, Mr. Lu is too romantic."

"For the sake of a girl, I don't want to receive dividends from my investment. Do you think I am obsessed?"

Xu Damao laughed and said, "Haha, you have some tricks!"

"Although he didn't make any money, at least the girl was devoted to him."

Xu Tiejun said disdainfully: "Lust makes one lose one's mind. I, Xu Tiejun, would never do such a stupid thing as giving up my own interests for a woman."

Xu Damao praised: "You are worthy of being my son, Xu Damao."

"Where's grandma?"

"Look at the time. Your grandma has already gone to bed."

"I waited for you for a long time but you didn't come back. Your grandma couldn't stand it anymore and went to sleep."

Xu Tiejun: "It's my fault. Next time, don't let grandma wait for me. She's getting old and her health is damaged."

midnight.

My son woke up and went to the bathroom.

Seeing the father and son: "Grandpa, Dad."

Xu Damao: "Grandson, go to the bathroom in your room from now on. Don't fall in the middle of the night."

Xu Tiejun: "Dad, he's grown up, he's not a kid anymore."

Xu Damao: "No matter how old you are, you are still a child in front of me."

"Grandpa, can you buy me a phone?"

"what?"

"Don't you have it?"

"But one of my classmates got a new phone, which is so cool."

Xu Damao looked at the envy in his grandson's eyes and asked, "What's the call?"

"apple!"

'oh? ’

Xu Tiejun: "This phone is very popular right now, and many young people are lining up to buy it."

Xu Damao: "It's just a phone call."

Xu Tiejun: "Dad, young people like different things than we do."

"Your needs are just to answer the phone and make calls, and you're too lazy to even send text messages. I'm pretty much the same as you, except for answering the phone and sending text messages."

"But nowadays, in addition to these functions, children can also surf the Internet and play games..."

Xu Damao: "It's really advanced!"

"Oh, I seem to remember that your godfather invested in this company."

Xu Tiejun: "The godfather made a lot of money."

Xu Damao: "Let's talk to your godfather later, and we can invest in some companies."

Xu Tiejun: "Speaking of investment, the special effects company we invested in has finally started to make a profit."

Xu Damao: "That's great. I've been throwing money in year after year and finally I can see the money coming back."

"Dad, don't you think it's weird?"

"Boss Lu's girlfriend is pretty, but she just can't be made popular."

"What's so strange about this? Some people are just not destined to have this kind of life."

Xu Tiejun: "After drinking the hangover soup,

Hand the bowl to Li Liping: "Thank you, Mom."

"Why are you being so polite?"

"Go back and rest quickly."

Xu Tiejun took out his phone and said, "Let me make a call first, so as not to wake up my wife."

"Director Chen?"

Director Chen was awakened by the phone call, and the person next to him complained, "Who is it, so late at night?"

"Shh, it's Mr. Xu, don't speak nonsense!"

"Hello, Mr. Xu, do you have any instructions?"

"Director Chen, how is the preparation for the film going?"

“It will be ready to go in ten days!”

Xu Tiejun: “Very good.”

"Which female characters are still undecided?"

"It's basically settled."

"Look, if we take one away, we have to give face to Mr. Lu."

"Mr. Xu, but other people are also related!"

Xu Tiejun: "Tell me."

Director Chen: "Fang Hong, who has a lot of scenes, will be played by Chun Chun from Super Girl."

Xu Tiejun: “Will this work?”

"Can you act?"

“It can only be trained on the spot.”

"Yueru, performed by Fan Bayi."

Xu Tiejun: "She can, after all, fame can bring benefits to the film and the box office."

Director Chen: "The role of Ah Chun is played by Jiang Wen's wife. You said it's not appropriate to remove him. It would be too offensive."

Xu Tiejun: "What about other roles?"

"The other parts are not many and not outstanding."

"Li Jiaxin's role is okay, but it's not worth it!"

Xu Tiejun thought for a moment and said, "Keep Fang Hong's role and tell them that I will give them a share of the investment in the next movie."

"I'll give them a role then."

Director Chen: “This…”

"It's okay, just tell them it was my decision."

"Well, I have no problem with that."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Tiejun returned to his room.

Xu Damao waited until his son came back, and then went back with Li Liping to rest.

Director Chen didn't waste any time and called Chunchun's agent right after hanging up the phone.

Although Director Chen obeys Xu Tiejun's orders, he does not have such a nice tone towards Chunchun's agent.

"I am Chen..."

"Director Chen, it's so late, what's the matter?"

"The company has decided that Fang Hong's role, Chunchun, is not suitable." "Director Chen, we have already agreed on this..."

"To be honest, it was Mr. Xu who made the decision. I had no choice."

"Boss Xu said that he will give you the investment share in the next movie. Go back and tell your boss. He will also give her a role in the next movie as compensation."

Now that things have been said to this point, there is obviously no room for easing the situation.

I don’t know what the next play will be like, but this one is a big production.

The agent was somewhat unwilling, but the artists he managed were really not competitive. If she didn't have a rich boyfriend, she wouldn't even have this opportunity.

"Chunchun, I just got the news that your role has been cancelled."

"what?"

"What's going on? Isn't it all booked?"

"I don't know what happened, but they gave me compensation and will give you a role in the next movie."

Mr. Lu: "Are you satisfied, Tiantian?"

"Humph, since you've behaved well, I won't pursue the matter between you and my little sister."

"Hey, you know me well. I'm with other people just to find the feeling of youth."

"You are the one in my heart."

Tiantian dealt with it on the surface, but she felt differently in her heart. If this old man didn't have money, she would have kicked him out long ago.

I have followed him since I was a teenager and I know very well what kind of person he is.

Soon, the news of the role change in the movie "The Besieged City in July" spread, and many people began to worry.

On the eve of filming, the roles were changed, which means someone intervened.

Otherwise, things that have been decided will not be changed, and many people are worried that their roles will be replaced by others.

Qianqian and Liu Xiaoli also set their sights on this play, and He Yuzhu was also asked out by them.

"So urgent?"

"Yeah, but let's eat first, and then we can talk after dinner."

After He Yuzhu had dinner with the Liu mother and daughter, he sat on the sofa and drank tea.

"Go ahead, and find me here in a hurry."

"The siege in July!"

He Yuzhu: "Didn't Qianqian already film two dramas this year?"

Liu Xiaoli: "But The Siege of July is also a big production!"

He Yuzhu: "They are about to start filming, are you saying it's too late?"

Qianqian: "Just now there was news that Fang Hong's role has been replaced."

He Yuzhu: “Oh?”

"Is there still this matter?"

Qianqian nodded her little head.

He Yuzhu: "I have stopped interfering in these matters a long time ago, you..."

Qianqian hugged his arm and started to act coquettishly, and He Yuzhu finally couldn't resist.

"I'll make a phone call to see what's going on."

"Hey, Damao."

"What are you doing?"

"Brother Zhu, I'm buying a cell phone for my grandson."

"Do you have to go in person to buy a mobile phone?"

"Hey, yesterday my granddaughter was talking about the new Apple phone, saying how great it was and that she wanted one too if other kids had them."

"Everyone at home is busy, so I just came out to buy one for him."

He Yuzhu: "You, the big boss of a real estate company, have been controlled by a kid."

"Haha, brother Zhu, please stop making fun of me."

He Yuzhu: "Come to my place after you finish shopping."

Xu Damao: "Okay, I'll go to your house?"

“No, you came to this place…”

He Yuzhu brought out Liu Xiaoli's home address.

Xu Damao: "Okay, I'll go over now."

hang up the phone.

"Make some snacks to go with the wine."

"Okay, what do you want to drink?"

'Moutai, my brother likes white wine.'

Not long after, Xu Damao arrived.

"Brother Zhu, what is this?"

"Let's talk after you come in."

"Oh, the Liu family girl is here too."

"Mr. Xu."

He Yuzhu: "Sit down, drink and chat."

"Brother Zhu, what's the matter?"

"Qianqian, go ahead."

Qianqian: "Mr. Xu, I also want to act in The Besieged City in July."

Xu Damao·····

"What's going on? Why do so many people want to act in this drama?"

"Isn't this because this play has attracted a lot of attention?"

Xu Damao: "Which role does Qianqian like?"

"Is Fang Hong okay?"

"That's really not possible. It would have been fine if you had said it earlier, but my son Tiejun had already promised someone else yesterday."

Fearing that He Yuzhu might misunderstand, Xu Damao quickly explained, "Originally, this role was given to someone else, but yesterday, Mr. Lu invited Tiejun to drink and proposed that he not pay dividends for his investment but only get back the principal. Tiejun decided on the spot and settled on the role."

"We can't go back on our word."

He Yuzhu: "Well, that's how it should be."

Qianqian: "What about the other characters?"

Xu Damao: "I was beside Tiejun yesterday, and I heard that the other main role has been confirmed to be Fan Bayi, Jiang Wen's wife."

He Yuzhu heard that Fan Bayi, the person with whom he had had in-depth exchanges, was not easy to deal with!
"No more?"

“The other supporting roles are nothing special either.”

"There's a female supporting actress, but she doesn't have many scenes. I think it's better for her not to act."

Liu Xiaoli: "Mr. Xu..."

"We must not offend Jiang Wen. After all, we will have to invest in him in the future. Otherwise, we have to take down Fan Bayi."

He Yuzhu: "Forget it."

Liu Xiaoli wanted to say something, but He Yuzhu stopped him.

“Are there any other big productions?”

Xu Damao: "Let me ask!"

In front of He Yuzhu and Liu's mother and daughter, Xu Damao called his son.

"Iron Army."

"What's wrong dad?"

"What other big productions does the company have?"

"Let me take a look."

Xu Tiejun quickly replied: "Rumor."

"Has the heroine been decided yet?"

"The candidates are Li Bing and Zhou Xun."

"Both of them?"

"He is indeed a talented actor, but now something has happened. Let Qianqian take over."

Xu Tiejun: “Ah?”

"Dad, Qianqian is not old enough and does not meet the age requirement for the role!"

Xu Damao: "Think of a way to make yourself look more mature with makeup."

Xu Tiejun: "Isn't it okay to play a supporting role?"

"Female assassin, female spy, nurse, singer..."

Xu Damao: "How can Qianqian play a supporting role?"

Xu Tiejun was in a dilemma.

"Dad, let's be frank."

Because Xu Tiejun didn't know there were other people around, he didn't need to beat around the bush when talking to his father.

"Dad, with Qianqian's acting skills, do you think she can succeed in this kind of movie?"

"Can she handle acting opposite Zhou Xun?"

"Even if Zhou Xun is removed, it's probably not going to work for her to play opposite Li Bing, right?"

Qianqian was angry when people said her acting skills were not good enough, but she also knew her weaknesses.

Liu Xiaoli comforted his daughter with his eyes.

Xu Damao: "What are you talking about, brat?"

"It's up to you to arrange it."

Xu Tiejun: "Let me take a look..."

"Got it, let her play the female lead for Hua Zai." (End of this chapter)
