Actor: Thank you.

Just as Zhang Yuan expected, the news of his reconciliation with Sister Hua quickly spread in the circle.

Although it was a settlement, everyone's reaction was...

"Zhang Yuan has taken care of Sister Hua!"

That's the benefit of being low.

Anyone who can finish the Paralympic Games is a hero. Liu Xiang was scolded for years because he withdrew from the competition due to illness.

Different psychological expectations will certainly lead to different conclusions when faced with the same results.

Wang Jinhua also saw the magazine report and knew in her heart that it was impossible for such a coincidence to happen.

They chose a secluded restaurant as the place for their meal and reconciliation.

This was all captured on camera.

coincidence?

She didn't believe it anyway.

I could only praise it in my heart as a good move.

Of course she was dissatisfied with Zhang Yuan, but she was even more dissatisfied with Orange Sky’s boss Wu Kebo.

After this incident, Sister Hua felt like stabbing him in the back again.

At the same time, she also found it annoying.

Because she had made countless phone calls before trying to ban Zhang Yuan.

Now there will also be countless calls asking what is going on.

She had to explain to each one of them with a flattering face.

I felt so miserable.

But at the same time, I also heard about Huayi's actions.

Although it sounds ridiculous, Sister Hua knows that if she really touches this boy, Hua Yi will have an excuse to touch her people.

It was difficult for him and Hua Yi to reconcile, but his subordinates still had to eat.

So I had to put it aside for the time being.

"I wonder if I will be able to move him in a few years?" Sister Hua muttered to herself.

On the other hand, Jiang Wenli and Chang Jihong also received the news.

"I said, the overall situation is still undecided." Jiang Wenli said calmly, hugging his shoulders.

"I've met him and I know he's a smart guy."

"You can't underestimate him."

Chang Jihong nodded with a unhappy look on his face.

Who knew he would pull through so easily.

If an artist of the same age went through this, even if he did not retire, he would have to remain silent for several years and wait until he found a new backer before he could make a comeback.

"Although the Liu Ye incident was related to him, he was not the one who did it." Jiang Wenli held a lady's cigarette in her hand and glanced at her old friend with a charming sidelong glance.

"It's because Zhao Baogang wanted to gain benefits and act as a pimp for Li Xiaoran."

"The result is our own fault."

"I heard that Xiao Ran and Zhang Yuan have a good relationship."

"Because of Xiao Ran's incident, Ye Zi has gone through a bad period."

"This time, because of Cheng Hao's matter, he dared to do it with Sister Hua."

"This boy is quite a passionate one." Jiang Wenli teased.

Chang Jihong understood the implicit meaning of his old friend's words.

If you don't mess with his woman, Zhang Yuan will be able to talk nicely.

So even if Li Xiaoran is her person, she can't deliberately make things difficult for her.

This will prevent this kid from doing anything crooked again.

Chang Ji Hongye thought, it was a lucky chance that Wen Li stopped him. If I had taken the lead, I would have settled the matter before it even happened.

Wouldn't he be laughed at like Hua Yi?

"Okay, I get it. It's just a matter of keeping out of each other's way." Chang Jihong said helplessly.

"Huh..." Jiang Wenli drew a smoke ring: "It's not just that we don't interfere with each other's business."

"He is a man who, if you are polite, will also be polite. It is a win-win for both sides."

While the two of them were chatting, two middle-aged women were chatting elsewhere.

"Haha, Wang Jinhua is nothing special." Li Shaohong chuckled.

This person has a very high opinion of himself and has always looked down on people like Chang Jihong and Wang Jinhua who come from a "mud-legged" background.

I am a student who was admitted to Beijing Film Academy directly with only primary school education.

What's my relationship with you? What's your level?

"Let me take over. If this young man dares to show his teeth, I will make sure he is completely subdued!"

Li Shaohong spoke loudly on purpose.

Because she was not the only one in the office.

In addition to her, Rong Xingda’s partner Li Xiaowan was also there.

But these words were not meant for Li Xiaowan to hear.

Because there was another person at the scene.

Yang Mi!

Zhong Mi Mi, who was not yet in her complete form at that time, trembled her shoulders when she heard the boss's shouting.

Li Shaohong dared to speak so loudly, not only because of her deep connections in the entertainment circle, but also because of the confidence given by the recent big moves of the company.

It is the "Dream of Red Mansions" that I took over from director Hu Mei.

The top IP is in my hands.

That would be known to everyone, giving us the honor of being in the spotlight!

We must recreate the glory of "The Oranges Are Red" and "The Story of the Ming Palace"!

At the same time, it also let Zhou Xun, the former sister of the traitor, know how stupid it was to leave our company.

And Yang Mi came here today for this purpose.

Although the casting for "Dream of Red Mansions" has not been announced to the public yet, the company has recently signed a large number of newcomers!

She thought something was wrong, so she went to inquire.

Only then did I understand that most of the main characters in "Dream of the Red Chamber" had already been decided by others.

Zhou Xun is gone, and now only Zeng Li is left.

Zeng Li's image is not suitable for playing Lin Daiyu or Xue Baochai, so at most she can play Jia Yuanchun.

Yang Mi is a person with a broad mind. She is a little girl with a big heart. Ever since Zhou Xun, the number one sister, left, she has been aiming to become the new number one sister in the company.

But as soon as the company's "Dream of Red Mansions" project meeting started.

She thought, I signed an 8-year contract with the company, I came early and have rich experience.

There is not a single project of the company in recent years that I have not participated in.

I have contributed to the community!
Now, look what happens. "Dream of Red Mansions" is choosing a person to take charge... no, the protagonist, but it has swept me aside.

Of course, Yang Mi was going for Lin Daiyu.

To take a step back, Xue Baochai is also fine.

As a result, you arranged for me to have Qingwen, who is not even as good as Xiren, a maidservant...

In fact, Yang Mi also suffered from his lack of cultural background.

Qingwen ranks first in the second volume of the Twelve Beauties of Jinling, while Xiren is only second.

In terms of importance, Qingwen is higher.

The book also describes her as having eyes and eyebrows like Daiyu, being good at needlework, being eloquent, and having a strong temper. She is an atypical female character who embodies the image of a new woman.

In terms of personality, he is actually a bit similar to Yang Mi.

But don’t be afraid that there will be no good things, just be afraid that there will be no good people.

As a die-hard fan of the company, Yang Mi has questioned the company's arrangements. As the boss, it is easy for you, Li Shaohong, to say something nice to him.

But this old woman has a bad temper.

"Your acting skills, abilities, and appearance do not meet the requirements for playing Daiyu."

It directly hit both professional level and appearance.

Otherwise, it would be great if it were known as the "star training class".

Anyone who is famous has to go.

When Yang Mi heard this, he naturally felt unhappy.

In addition, several people of the same age, such as Jiang Mengjie, Li Qin, and Song Yi, are coming.

These newcomers, however, all got roles more important than their own.

Yang Mi felt a strong sense of crisis.

It's a bit disheartening.

You will definitely feel disheartened if you treat your old employees like this.

Besides, Li Shaohong has just got in touch with Boyu Group.

The original filming cost of 4500 million was increased to 1.2 million!
This is a TV series!

It only costs this much money to shoot "The Banquet".

1.2 million is enough to make 10 "Soldier Assault" and 4 "The Return of the Condor Heroes".

This is awesome for Li Shaohong...

I can do what Hu Mei can't do.

I can handle the highest TV drama budget in the country!

The boss of the KeBoYou Group was Ding Shumiao, who was a deep participant in the later major railway case.

Nicknamed the Railway Lady.

Is this money easy to come by?

So at this time, Yang Mi didn't know that playing only the small role of Qingwen was actually not a bad thing.

Unlike Li Shaohong who has his eyes set on the sky, his partner Li Xiaowan calculates by counting on his fingers.

"Zhang Yuanxian and Chang Jihong are working against each other."

"Now I'm fighting with Sister Hua again."

"There are only three well-known female agents in the imperial circle."

"Based on the head count, I shouldn't be the next one..."

"He dares!" Li Shaohong raised his voice as he listened to his friend's muttering.

Yang Mi, who was sitting obediently on the side, whispered in his heart: "Why would he be afraid?"

"Xiao Mi, the casting for Dream of Red Mansions has been finalized." Li Shaohong turned around and said to her.

"This play is very important. I want to make it a masterpiece that will be passed down through the ages."

“You can’t play whatever role you want.”

"Then if there are other dramas in the same period, can I..." Yang Mi asked tentatively.

"What can you do?" Li Shaohong glared, "If I ask you to act, just act honestly."

"If you don't act well, I will remember you forever!"

They say that when you are beaten, you are rewarded with a sweet date, but when it comes to Sister Li, all that is left is a stick.

If you are asked to act, you have to act. You cannot refuse to act, you cannot refuse to obey, and you cannot act badly.

Leaving the boss's office angrily, Yang Mi looked back with a pout.

"You didn't take me seriously at all."

Just now, she listened attentively and learned from the two bosses what Zhang Yuan had done recently. "If I had known, I wouldn't have signed with Rong Xingda for such a long time."

"It's better to follow Zhang Yuan."

"At least he doesn't bully me."

"Maybe there's a chance to become a boss lady."

Yang Mi looked down at his chest and said, "Well, it depends on you two."

"Humph!" Yang Mi raised his chin proudly: "Don't think I don't know that you always sneak glances at my chest."

After she left the company, she found a secluded corner and called Zhang Yuan.

Thinking about "rebellion" someday in the future so as to leave a way out for myself.

"Well, there aren't many roles available for you recently." After receiving the call, Zhang Yuan came to a corner of his home and said steadily.

"After all, it's not appropriate to give you a small role, right?"

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Although it was a rejection, Yang Mi felt much better after hearing him say that.

Humph, both are bosses, but Zhang Yuan speaks much nicer than Li Shaohong... Yang Mi increasingly feels that the company treats her badly.

"You should focus on your studies first."

“Finish your studies first before you can achieve your ambitions.”

"I know. I'll pay attention if there's a role that suits you."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yuan thought about it.

"Yang Mi is still quite useful."

"But it's not time yet."

Zhang Yuan asked her to focus on her studies first because by the time she graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, her contract with Rong Xingda would be almost expired.

"There's no rush yet."

Having said that, he returned to the reception room.

He is also entertaining guests here.

The visitors were members of the "Apple" crew.

Except for Zhu Yawen, who was just transferred by him and seemed a little timid, Fan Bingbing and director Li Yu were both very generous.

There was also a middle-aged man present.

It is the film's producer Fang Li.

This person actually has some kind of connection with Zhang Yuan.

Brother Fang Li is a person who is a bit like Cameron.

"Apple" is his first time participating in the production of a movie, and he has invested in several films before to test the waters.

However, this person has a technical background and he founded the world's largest geophysical instrument company.

Later, when he filmed "The Sinking of the Lisbon Maru", the instruments he used to scan and detect the shipwreck were all made by his own company.

Cameron also loves to tinker with underwater instruments.

The reason why they say he is related to Zhang Yuan is that the black box from the plane crash in 02 was salvaged using their company's equipment.

But in this life, I avoided the plane crash.

"As one of the producers, I have a few suggestions." Zhang Yuan raised his arms.

"You bring it up." The director glanced at Fang Li before speaking.

Just by looking at the situation, you can tell that the director still focuses on Fang Li.

"First of all, we have to change the name of this film. It can't be called "Lost in the Imperial City"."

"why?"

"The imperial capital is the capital, it's too sensitive." Zhang Yuan said bluntly.

"Change the name..." Li Yu looked at Fang Li again.

Brother Fang hugged his shoulders and said nothing.

"anything else?"

"Also, since the name has been changed, let's change the filming location as well."

"Don't shoot in the Imperial Capital, let's shoot in the Magic Capital instead."

"why?"

"The imperial capital is the capital and is too sensitive." Zhang Yuan gave the same answer.

“But if we change the filming location to Shanghai, we have to change the details of the script.” Fang Li spoke at this time.

"And if all crews move to Shanghai, it will greatly increase the cost of filming and communication."

Fang Li was not very satisfied with him to begin with.

How come a producer suddenly appeared?
Not only has the leading male role been changed, but now the title and filming location have also been changed.

Who has the final say in this crew?
Seeing that the two producers were not getting along, Zhu Yawen leaned back with his shoulders hunched.

Seeing this, Fat Fan wanted to smooth things over.

But Zhang Yuan raised his hand to refuse.

“Everything I do is for the film.”

"A few days ago, I went to see Yang Buting on purpose and took the script with me." Zhang Yuan had no intention of giving in.

"These opinions were confirmed by this leader who is also the vice president of China Film Group Corporation and the deputy director of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television."

"As far as I know, you have invested in several films before."

"No movie has passed the censorship and can be broadcast in the country, right?"

There are many reasons why these films cannot be broadcast, the biggest of which is that there is foreign capital behind those films.

Most of these art films with foreign capital have ulterior motives and are so-called "underground films."

The head follows the butt. You have to speak to whoever gives you money.

If you take money from foreigners, you're just like a mistress, forget about having an independent personality.

When this was mentioned, Fang Li fell silent.

Why did they choose Fan Bingbing for this movie?

If you don’t want to release it in mainland China, why look for Fan Bingbing?

"Since we are going to broadcast it domestically, we can't just focus on foreign awards."

"Then our goal should be the Golden Rooster, Golden Statue and Golden Horse."

Although he supported Fang Li, director Li Yu nodded slightly after listening to his analysis.

We can’t keep making movies that only have two or three people in the cast and then aren’t allowed to be broadcast.

She also wants to make a name for herself in the mainland.

"Hmm..." Fang Li also calmed down.

He has invested in so many movies over the years, basically doing it out of love, and he also wants to make money.

"Even if we follow your advice, what about the investment?"

"You come to make up for it?"

"No." Zhang Yuan shook his head.

“That’s it…” Fang Li leaned back.

The film "Apple" was originally invested by Bona Film Group, but in order to pass the review, the script had actually been revised several times and became much more restrained.

After the script became "conservative", Bona lost interest.

This resulted in a sharp drop in film investment.

At first there were 1000 million.

Now there are only 500 million left.

It was Fan Bingbing who drastically reduced his own pay and turned his pay into investment.

He signed a contract with a salary of only 50 yuan, but he would share 20% of the box office revenue.

We are already short of money here, and you even raised the cost of filming. Really...

"Mr. Fang, you may have participated in too many foreign awards and are not familiar with the award policies of the mainland and Taiwan."

Zhang Yuan spoke slowly.

"Leaving aside the Golden Rooster Awards, whether it's the Golden Horse Awards or the Golden Image Awards, if you want to participate, you have to have investment and script members."

"The Academy Awards are the most stringent. Not only do half of the crew members have to be Hong Kong locals, but the director must also be a Hong Kong resident."

"Director Li, you don't meet the requirements, right?"

Li Yu shook his head.

Um, it's Shandong...

"What about the Golden Horse Awards..." Zhang Yuan just opened his mouth and Fang Li immediately picked up the call.

"Golden Horse doesn't have any restrictions, the requirements are the most relaxed."

"There's no problem with the Golden Horse Awards, but the Radio, Film and Television Administration has requirements for mainland-owned films to be screened abroad," Zhang Yuan said immediately.

"Without investment from Hong Kong or Formosa, theoretically, you are not allowed to participate in the local selection."

"This is rarely mentioned. You may not know it."

Fang Li opened his mouth but said nothing.

Fan Bingbing glanced at Zhang Yuan with her big eyes and then chuckled.

"Mr. Fang, Zhang Yuan may be more perceptive in terms of policy and know more."

"Ah..." Fang Li had no choice but to nod.

Zhang Yuan knows it too well!
Because in the previous life, this film was withdrawn by the Radio, Film and Television Administration using this excuse!

However, "Falling Leaves Return to Their Roots", "The Sun Also Rises" and "Clouds and Water Ballads" released at the same time were all fine.

Because these films have either Hong Kong or Taiwanese capital behind them.

However, the reasons for the withdrawal of this film are complicated, with restricted content being one of them.

On the other hand, it was also bad luck...

The higher-ups cited this regulation, which no one usually pays attention to, and withdrew "Apple," a film that was invested purely from the mainland.

Parents quarrel and don’t allow their children to go to the other family’s house to play…that’s about what it means.

So you have to do things right and have connections.

The higher-ups may turn a blind eye, but once it gets too serious, you won’t even know how you died.

"Mr. Fang, we all hope that this film will win a big award and make us famous, right?" Zhang Yuan said sincerely.

Director Li Yu on the side nodded.

Zhu Yawen, who had been afraid to speak, just kept nodding his head.

“The Academy Awards are beyond our reach.”

"Golden Horse, we have a chance."

"So we have to clarify our goals and reach a consensus before we can decide on the next plan."

"what do you mean?"

At this moment, Zhang Yuan demonstrated his abilities a little bit, and the other party was willing to talk properly.

“So I can’t pay for this.”

"I will go to Formosa to look for investors."

"If you want to win the Golden Horse Award, it's best to have a local to protect you."

“It just makes up for the increased costs.”

"I'll take care of it."

Fang Li and Li Yu looked at each other, then nodded and agreed... (End of this chapter)
