One person's entertainment

Chapter 157, Capture Gao Yuanyuan
When Huo Wenxi heard that Shen Lingyou wanted to use a newcomer from the mainland, he had no objection to it.

Even though she is the producer, it is actually Shen Lingyou who makes the decisions on many important matters.

Because after "Never Forget You", Shen Lingyou's ability in film and television dramas was proven.

Moreover, she has read the script of "Autumn in My Heart".

In one word, abuse!

Although it uses the same three major clichés of Korean dramas - car accidents, cancer, and incurable diseases - it cleverly integrates family affection, love, and sadness throughout, making it different from the foot-binding-style Korean dramas. It compactly and exquisitely creates the theme of "If Heaven Has Feelings, It Will Grow Old", turning clichés into magic.

She doesn't know whether this drama will eventually become a big hit, but what is certain is that there will be no problem in opening up the Korean market.

Moreover, it is no exaggeration to say that Shen Lingyou's looks, coupled with his music and acting skills, are a hit across Southeast Asia.

This is also the source of her confidence.

As for Shen Lingyou, since he has the memories of his previous life and was famous in the original time and space, he basically will not fail.

Small changes will not have much impact on the overall situation, which is also verified from "Never Forget".

As for the plot, "Autumn in My Heart" has 20 episodes, which is just the right length and does not need to be shortened any further.

The plan has been made, with a budget of 500 million RMB.

Shen Lingyou personally contributed 200 million yuan, contributed 200 million yuan in the name of Xinghuo, and the remaining 100 million yuan was sought from external investors.

Huo Wenxi has taken the funds to South Korea to set up a crew, and hopes to start filming in the middle of the month.

He had two things to do. One was to ask Chang Li for leave, and the other was to sign Gao Yuanyuan.

The leave application went very smoothly. Having set this precedent, there was no reason not to approve it.

However, Chang Li still reminded him to balance his studies while filming.

He nodded in agreement and kept it in mind.

After coming out of the office, I went to Gao Yuanyuan's class.

"Brother Shen." Gao Yuanyuan was very happy to see Shen Lingyou coming to find her.

"Are you free at noon?" Shen Lingyou asked her.

"Yes." Gao Yuanyuan nodded.

"Let's have dinner together. I want to talk to you about something. Is that okay?" Shen Lingyou said with a smile.

"Okay." Gao Yuanyuan agreed without thinking.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the school gate after school at noon." Shen Lingyou said again.

"Yeah." Gao Yuanyuan replied.

After that, they returned to the classroom.

Shen Lingyou sat next to Zeng Xiaolai and said to her, "I will be away for two months in the middle of this month to film a movie in Korea."

Zeng Xiaolai blinked and asked, "Did you just get the call?"

Shen Lingyou said truthfully: "It's a script I wrote for entering the Korean market."

Zeng Xiaolai said "Oh", and said: "Go ahead, just remember to call me." She knew that this was the normal life of an actor. Since she liked him, she had to accept that they would be apart more often than together.

Shen Ling said frivolously: "Isn't once a week too little? How about once a day?"

Zeng Xiaolai smiled sweetly and said, "You can fight as many times as you want. I won't stop you." Then, they talked about the new play. She asked curiously, "What kind of play is it?"

Shen Lingyou replied: "A romantic idol drama."

Zeng Xiaolai then asked, "Who is the leading actress?"

Shen Lingyou replied, "A Korean actress named Song Hye Kyo." Zeng Xiaoli had never heard of her. In fact, she was not familiar with Korean actors, but she could name one or two Japanese actors, such as Yamaguchi Momoe and Miura Tomokazu. The Japanese drama "Blood Ties" was very popular in mainland China.

Song Hye Kyo is still unknown now. She entered the entertainment industry in 1996 after winning the first prize in the SMART model competition. Last year, she starred in her first TV series "Two-Color Wedding Dress".

I am 18 years old this year, also in the prime of my youth.

After school at noon, Shen Lingyou said goodbye to Zeng Xiaolai and left the school alone.

When I arrived at the school gate, I found Gao Yuanyuan was already there. She was very fast.

"Let's go."

Shen Lingyou took her to a high-end restaurant on the next street. Since they were going to discuss a contract, the place had to be better.

"Just order whatever you like. You don't have to save money for me." He said with a smile.

"Then I won't be polite." Gao Yuanyuan said this, but in fact she only ordered one dish and gave him the menu.

Shen Lingyou didn't say anything, and ordered two more dishes and a soup. While waiting for the dishes, he talked about business first: "Did you know that I opened a company?"

Gao Yuanyuan nodded and said, "I know, Xinghuo."

Shen Lingyou continued, "Our company is preparing a TV series recently. You meet all the requirements for the second female lead. I would like to ask you to play the role. I wonder if you are interested."

When Gao Yuanyuan heard this, a look of surprise instantly appeared on her face.

Shen Lingyou added: "This second female lead is a vicious villain, which may have an impact on your screen image..."

Gao Yuanyuan came back to her senses and immediately said, "It's okay, I'm willing to act."

Shen Lingyou smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't be too late to decide after you finish reading the script."

Gao Yuanyuan didn't care about so much. She was willing to work with her idol and act in the same play. She said bluntly, "Brother Shen, you don't need to read the script. I can decide now." Hesitation will lead to failure.

Shen Lingyou didn't force it. Anyway, this matter wouldn't cheat her. He said, "There is one more thing. I want to sign you to Xinghuo. You can rest assured that this is not tied to your role as the second female lead." Then he put the prepared contract in front of her and said, "This is our company's contract. Take it back and take a good look at it. If you think it's okay, sign it. If not, don't sign it. It doesn't matter."

Gao Yuanyuan nodded and said, "Well, I'll give you an answer tomorrow."

This matter is different from acting. I need to discuss it with my family. After all, it concerns my future.

The food is served and the business is over.

The meal was a relaxing and enjoyable one.

Especially Gao Yuanyuan, the little girl has a simple and innocent mind, and her thoughts are all written on her face.

In the evening, Shen Lingyou made an appointment with Jiang Qinqin to go to the courtyard house in Liulichang.

It's not that I miss her so much after not seeing her for a long time, but I just wanted to tell her about my filming trip to Korea.

Jiang Qinqin had no objection either, and just asked him to remember to call.

Afterwards, the two snuggled on the sofa and watched TV.

Mango Channel was broadcasting "My Fair Princess" on March 3st together with "Tears in Heaven", except that the latter was first broadcast on China Television in Formosa Province.

What Qiong Yao didn't expect was that the highly anticipated "Tears in Heaven" received mediocre response, while the unpopular "My Fair Princess" became a hit.

Although "Return of the Condor Heroes" had a viewership rating of only 12% on the day of its premiere, it kept rising day by day, reaching 40% on the fifth day. Its momentum was as strong as that of CCTV's "Outlaws of the Marsh" and Shen Lingyou's "Never Forget Me".

"You have a great eye. My Fair Princess is much more popular than The Legend of Chusen." Jiang Qinqin couldn't help but praise.

"This is determined by the market. Conventional Qiong Yao dramas have already caused aesthetic fatigue." Shen Lingyou shrugged.
