After being defeated by Qingmei, I became a top player

After Chen Shuren made many changes to the script of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", he gave it to Sun Wen the next day. Sun Wen couldn't stop laughing after reading it.

"You know what, this book is just as you said, full of jokes."

As a director, I have the ability to restore scene images based on text.

Coupled with Chen Shuren's description of the characteristics of each character in "The Richest Man in Xihong City" in the script, Sun Yat-sen already had an idea of ​​"The Richest Man in Xihong City" performed by a faceless villain in his mind.

Sun Yat-sen believed that Chen Shuren also had this picture in his mind.

But what Sun Yat-sen didn’t know was that Chen Shuren not only had the picture in his mind, but also the face of each character!

But those faces don't exist in this world.

"Okay, Huang Hai will be the protagonist this time, so there's no need to cast too handsome guys for the other roles. Mo Zhihu's second generation can be good enough to play the role with a little dressing up. For the other supporting roles, we can use the brothers we took together if possible."

Chen Shuren briefly explained the situation of the film.

"No, you really won't be performing?"

Even though he already knew that Chen Shuren would not be in the role, Sun Wen still found it a little hard to accept at this time.

The combination of him and Chen Shuren has become a golden pair in the eyes of the outside world.

There is a saying circulating in the film and television circles now: as long as the film is directed by Sun Wen and starred and written by Chen Shuren, the box office will be at least 2 billion.

Outside the circle, those movie fans also set their sights on the Sun-Chen combination. Basically, seeing that it was starring Chen Shuren and directed by Sun Wen, they would have no problem buying tickets with their eyes closed.

But this time, if Chen Shuren doesn’t act, will the audience not buy it?
Sun Yat-sen didn't think that all that appeal was directed at him.

Chen Shuren also knew what Sun Yat-sen was worried about.

"I'm not a leading actor anymore, and I probably won't be one in the future. But I will appear in this film, and you should be able to tell which part it is."

Sun Wen was stunned, then reviewed the entire plot, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Yeah! You are really perfect for that role. It's definitely a big surprise. Add to that the temptation of the new song, haha, it's settled!"

"If this succeeds, you will become a famous brand. From now on, any movie you appear in will have a huge box office success, even if you are not the lead actor!"

Sun Yat-sen felt that he was able to recover.

"It's fine as long as it's settled. While I'm still here, let's discuss the plot together and decide on the actors who can be confirmed."

Chen Shuren said so.

Everything after that went according to plan.

First, Luo Lijin exchanged the castle for one of his own well-run projects.

Then there was the castle renovation project, which was supposed to be the most expensive part of the filming.

Although the entire castle did not need to be redecorated, the hall and several important scenes had to be redecorated.

But Luo Lijin insisted on taking the blame for this part of the expenses, and it was a complete renovation!
This made Chen Shuren feel helpless.

However, thinking about the benefits that the castle would bring to Luo Lijin, Chen Shuren did not insist.

In this way, during the filming of the movie, some long shots can be taken to fully display the luxurious life of the protagonist "Wang Duoyu"!
For the next month, Chen Shuren stayed in Yanzhou with Sun Wen and others.

In order to allow a group of "old" extras such as Mo Zhihu to perform better in this movie, Chen Shuren handed over most of the things to Sun Wen and gave them special training.

In other words, special training!
It was special training for the supporting roles in "The Richest Man in Xihong City". Chen Shuren had done this kind of thing before.

The advantage of doing this is that it is simple. Whether you are learning or teaching, it will save you a lot of trouble and you don’t have to learn the theoretical knowledge that lays the foundation.

The disadvantage is simple, because the training is too simple, so after the movie, they are still just extras, or even worse than those professional extras.

But for these rich second-generations, every role they can play is a good one as long as they are happy.

In addition to a group of rich second-generations such as Mo Zhihu, there are also those who really play supporting roles.

That is, the extras who had been following Chen Shuren and Sun Wen in previous films such as "Kung Fu" and "The God of Cookery".

Chen Shuren also provides special training for these people, but it is not special training for a single movie. Instead, it is special training based on these people's talents, personality, appearance and other characteristics.

After this kind of special training, even if they leave the movie "The Richest Tomato", these extras will stand out in other crews.

Chen Shuren does not guarantee that they can jump from extras to supporting roles, but at least they will not miss the opportunity when it comes.

Chen Shuren had no idea that the training he had done in the past month would cultivate many talented people for the film and television industry in the next few years.

Those who received the training had no idea that after a month of training from Chen Shuren, their future lives would be forced to take another path.

But several years later, when these extras who have made it big are interviewed, they will all say one thing.

"If there is a need for Brother Shu, I will also play a minor role."

Time flies. After staying in the crew for a month and training a group of people, Chen Shuren left Yanzhou.

After a quick packing, he took Tang Yingcheng and Shi Lei to the last stop of "Run Together", which is also the most prosperous place in Daxia, Zhongzhou!

……

"Here! Mr. Chen, look here!"

As soon as Chen Shuren got off the plane, he saw someone waving a sign at him, but Chen Shuren was clearly wearing a mask.

With doubts, Chen Shuren walked over.

"Are you the one from the Heaven Realm who came to pick us up?"

"Haha, my name is Shao Zhizhong, and you must be Mr. Chen, right?"

Chen Shuren nodded, then asked curiously, "How did you recognize me?"

"Finally I got you. Someone took your photo and gave it to me before you boarded the plane. I was just afraid I had the wrong person."

Shao Zhizhong said with a smile, and then took Chen Shuren and the others to the parking lot.

After hearing what Shao Zhizhong said, Chen Shuren felt confused.

Anyone taking pictures?
But he did not ask anyone from Tianyu to see him off today. When he left, he just informed Zeng Juan.

So, who took the photo?

Chen Shuren looked at Shao Zhizhong, narrowed his eyes slightly, then took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Zeng Juan.

When they arrived at the garage, Shao Zhizhong invited Chen Shuren and the other two to get in the car, but Chen Shuren made an excuse to go to the toilet.

Tang Yingcheng and Shi Lei also went together.

On the way to the bathroom, Zeng Juan's message came.

"The person who came to pick you up from Tianyu is called Li Yuntian, and his phone number is..."

Looking at this news, Chen Shuren raised his eyebrows.

"what happened?"

Tang Yingcheng asked.

"Nothing, I just found something interesting."

Chen Shuren told them that he had discovered that Shao Zhizhong was not from Tianyu. Tang Yingcheng and Shi Lei were both shocked when they heard it.

"No way. Zhongzhou is the center of Daxia. How can kidnapping happen?"

Shi Lei's eyes widened.

"I'm afraid it's not kidnapping." Tang Yingcheng thought for a moment and continued, "If it's kidnapping, then it's too arrogant to do it at the airport pick-up place. There are cameras everywhere, and Shao Zhizhong is not wearing a mask. If it's really kidnapping, then Shao Zhizhong is the legendary assassin."

The first half of Tang Yingcheng's words made Shi Lei feel relieved, but the second half made Shi Lei's face turn black.

It’s better to kidnap!
Isn't this a bit too much, these assassins?
"So what should we do now? Call the police?"

Shi Lei asked.

Chen Shuren shook his head, took out his phone and called Li Yuntian. After getting in touch, Chen Shuren learned that Li Yuntian had encountered a car accident on the road and was on his way.

After hearing this, Chen Shuren became curious about the people behind Shao Zhizhong.

How could a scene like this, which only appears in movies, appear in reality?
Chen Shuren originally wanted to go with Shao Zhizhong, but after seeing Tang Yingcheng and the other person next to him, he decided to give up.

He has ancient martial arts skills, but the other two do not.

Then the three of them walked back to the airport pick-up area, found a place to sit down, and waited for Li Yuntian to arrive.

On the other side, Shao Zhizhong, who had been waiting for Chen Shuren for a long time, went to the toilet with a puzzled look on his face, but did not find Chen Shuren at all.

"What about people?"

Shao Zhizhong stood at the door of the toilet in astonishment, and then began to look for it anxiously.

After searching several toilets, he accidentally saw Chen Shuren and two other people walking towards the airport reception hall with Li Yuntian, who looked apologetic.

When Chen Shuren saw Shao Zhizhong, he smiled at him but said nothing.

After Chen Shuren and the other two left, Shao Zhizhong called his master with a helpless look on his face.

"Boss, Li Yuntian may have called Chen Shuren halfway through the journey. He didn't leave with me and has now left with Li Yuntian who arrived."

"okay, I get it."

Looking at the direction Chen Shuren left, Shao Zhizhong still didn't know that there was something wrong with his words, and it was not Li Yuntian who called Chen Shuren.

……

Li Yuntian is in the car.

"Brother Li, what kind of car accident did you encounter on the road?"

Chen Shuren asked.

"Well, it was my fault. A man was pushing a bicycle across the road, and I saw him passing by, so I was about to drive my car. I didn't pay attention and I got scratched. Fortunately, the man was a good person and didn't blame me. He just asked me to take him to the hospital. Sorry, Consultant Chen, I kept you waiting for a long time."

"Haha, it's okay, safety first."

When Chen Shuren heard what Li Yuntian said, he also understood Shao Zhizhong's style of doing things.

It seems that he cannot be described as the "death soldier" that Tang Yingcheng talked about, nor is he the situation in gangster movies where the driver is killed and replaced by his own.

Chen Shuren couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.

There is no such thing in a peaceful society.

Afterwards, Chen Shuren and Li Yuntian learned more about the situation in Zhongzhou Realm.

Logically speaking, since Tianyu has a company in Zhongzhou, its headquarters should be set up in Zhongzhou, not Qingzhou.

This was Chen Shuren’s previous thought, but after asking Li Yuntian, he finally understood why the headquarters was in Qingzhou and not in Zhongzhou.

Before the start of Hezhou, although Tianyu was one of the three major entertainment companies in Qingzhou, it did not have much influence in the entire Daxia.

Nearly half of the branches in other states are barely surviving.

As for Zhongzhou, although the situation is different, it is essentially the same.

Tianyu couldn't have a good time in other states, such as the neighboring Yangzhou. Naturally, he wouldn't be able to have a good time in Zhongzhou, where all kinds of capital are entrenched.

Zhongzhou has its own local film, television and entertainment industry, and there are many people involved.

Basically, all big guys with capital will get involved in the entertainment industry. After all, if they can promote a few first-line artists, then endorsements will be very convenient, right?
This also means that even if Tianyu has good singer resources, they will not be able to perform well when brought to Zhongzhou.

There have even been cases in the past where artists brought in by Tianyu were poached by other companies in Zhongzhou within a month.

They poached him openly and honestly, so the penalty for breach of contract that they should pay is no less.

Basically, the artist informed Tianyu on the same day, the lawyer came to resolve all the issues on the next day, and on the third day the artist claimed to be a member of the opposite company.

The subsequent development of that artist also indeed shows that foreign ones are not as good as local ones.

In just the past month, that artist has been offered various endorsements, commercial performances, and supporting roles in big-name directors' films.

Compared to climbing up in the sky realm, it is much easier.

When Chen Shuren heard this, he asked curiously, "How many artists have been poached?"

Li Yuntian thought for a moment and said, "Probably three."

"Only three?"

Shi Lei looked surprised.

"Haha, there were indeed three of them, and they were poached all at once, but our company is not stupid! From then on, if you want to bring an artist from Qingzhou to Zhongzhou, you have to sign a special contract, and the penalty for breach of contract is a hundred times the signing fee!"

"In this way, if an artist feels that they are not suitable and do not want to sign, then they will not go to Zhongzhou. If they go, other companies can poach them. Tianyu will also be happy to be poached. A hundred times! It takes several years to train an artist, even a first-line artist, for the company to earn a hundred times the profit!"

"If the companies in Zhongzhou really have that much money, Tianyu wouldn't mind being a talent company and supplying talent to Zhongzhou."

Li Yuntian's words made everyone laugh.

"It seems that the reason why my Tianyu Zhongzhou branch did not become a broker is because those companies in Zhongzhou are out of money?"

Shi Lei said with a smile.

After Chen Shuren finished laughing, he asked again, "Brother Li, do you know which companies those three artists went to?"

"Let me think... one of them went to Tianyi Group, and the other two were poached by the same company, Tianyuan Insurance... yes, it was Tianyuan Insurance."

"Tianyuan Insurance? Isn't this also available in other states?"

Shi Lei was surprised.

"Oh, Zhongzhou has three major insurance companies, Tianyuan, Diyuan, and Renyuan. The business of these three insurance companies involves the entire Daxia. The ones you know are their branches."

"It's interesting to talk about it. The three insurance companies, Tianyuan, Diyuan, and Renyuan, have some connections..."

Time passed as Li Yuntian told his story.

When he arrived at Tianyu Zhongzhou branch, Chen Shuren also met the person in charge of Zhongzhou.

Even though the Zhongzhou branch has a very low status in Zhongzhou, it has a better office location than the headquarters, a five-story office building that belongs exclusively to Tianyu!
