Huayu: I'm reborn, but you still force me to be a scumbag?

Chapter 277 The First April Fools' Day Meeting
Huanxin Company’s office address was moved in August 08.

At that time, "The Sound of Wind" had just made money and "Twilight" was about to be released.

Chen is shooting a movie in Korea with his sights set on Cannes, while Fan Binbing is unrivalled in her glory after winning the Hundred Flowers Award.

Ning Hao is working on his new play, while Pang Ho-cheung has not yet finished polishing his script.

Han Sanping did not go back on his word, and Liu Yifei seemed to have successfully become popular again.

At that moment, everything was so beautiful.

Mr. Qi has money in his pocket and a gun in his hand. He feels that the small corner of less than 200 square meters near the Film Academy is no longer enough to meet his future grand vision.

After discussing with Chen Nuo, he took out more than 2000 million yuan from the ample cash in the company's account at the time and bought an entire floor of an office building on Chaowai Street in Chaoyang District, totaling more than 13000 square meters, at a price of 1500 yuan per square meter.

Half for personal use and half for rental.

When Qi Yuntian thinks about this now, he wants to slap himself twice.

Although the housing price has indeed fallen and is now lower than the opening price, it would be great if I could keep all that money now.

It can only be said that the cunning Pan couple is one of the best house builders and marketers in China.

Chaowai SOHO, which was delivered at the end of 2007, was indeed very eye-catching in the China World Trade Center area in 09.

The fancy architectural style confused him and Chen Nuo's eyes.
Just like at this moment, it fascinated the two women who came from afar.

August 2009, 4 at 1 am.

When Zhao Liying and Zhang Xinyu arrived here, the sun was rising.

The 25-story Chaowai Soho stands tall under the blue sky and white clouds. The irregular pentahedral facade, surrounded by the podium, has a gray and dark glass curtain wall that reflects the colorful sunlight.
The two people who came here from Hengdian Film and Television City truly felt like they had traveled to the future.

They looked at each other and could see the complexity and excitement in each other's eyes.

It only takes more than two hours to fly from Hengdian to Beijing.

However, the two of them walked together for two full years.

That’s two years!
When the two signed the contract for the new film, Feng Sheng was still filming intensively in Hengdian.

Now, more than a year has passed since the film was finally taken off the screen after selling 3.61 million yuan in mainland China, setting a record in mainland film history.

Over the past year or so,

The two watched helplessly as artists from the same company appeared in entertainment headlines every now and then and were talked about by countless passers-by on the streets of Hengdian.

Fan Binbing,
She won the Hundred Flowers Award in September and the Golden Horse Award in December. The newspapers have praised her as the number one female actress in China after Zhang Ziyi, even Zhou Xun is slightly inferior to her.

Liu Yifei,
Although not as exaggerated as Fan Binbing, I just heard in August that she became famous overnight in Japan by filming the Japanese version of Meteor Garden.
As a result, in December, this woman turned around and intervened again, and easily won the leading female role in the nationally renowned Hawthorn Tree.

It can be said that throughout the second half of last year, the two of them were in Hengdian and were in the whirlpool of public opinion.

Wherever I go, people can't help asking me, "Liu Yifei was promoted by your company to star in Zhang Yimou's movie, to play opposite Chen Nuo."

What are you two still doing here?

In fact, they often ask each other this question.

Although Zhang Xinyu became a little famous this year because of her guest appearance in "The Sound of Wind", she starred in three TV series, two of which were the leading female role and one was the second female role.

It’s not a big production, but the male actor I work with is quite famous.

Huang Xiaoming, Li Chen, Yin Xiaotian and others are all considered well-known young actors in China.

It can be said that she has successfully transformed from a sexy football babe to a little-known actor.

Although Zhao Liying did not appear in "The Whistleblower", she did star in two TV series last year.

One female lead and one female second lead.

She was also a vase in a male-dominated drama with very few roles, but it was definitely a new breakthrough for her career as a supporting actress.

However, compared with Fan Binbing and Liu Yifei, this really looks like children playing house.

Sometimes when two people are idle and chatting, they feel really depressed.

Share a broker.

I have been in the company for so long, but I have never been able to visit the company headquarters.

The base salary of 1000 has never increased.

Social security has always been at the lowest level of more than 2000.

The year-end bonus is still 10000
This all shows that in Huanxin Company, the two of them are just two leftovers, small shrimps that no one pays attention to.

Especially Zhao Liying.

She really wanted to ask someone in person, "Do you still remember me?"

But I don’t know when this opportunity will come.

until today.

However, when she and Zhang Xinyu, led by their agent Sister Zhou, walked into the fashionable building.

I took the elevator to the 21st floor where the company is located and walked into the spacious and bright office area.

Seeing those people who look like employees sitting on the sofa in groups of three or four, chatting, drinking tea and eating snacks, occasionally curling their fingers and typing on their laptop keyboards,

For a moment, Zhao Liying almost forgot her original intention.

She has also worked before and doesn't understand what these people are doing?
Meetings don't look like meetings, work doesn't look like work, and people openly slack off during work hours? Isn't this too arrogant?
Noticing the surprised expressions of the two people around her, the agent, Sister Zhou, introduced: "It looks easy, right? In fact, it's not as fun as you think. President Qi started to implement the KPI system this year. Alas, everyone is under a lot of pressure."

Zhao Liying looked at the men and women in the sofa area who were drinking coffee and chatting with smiles on their faces.
I heard Sister Zhou continue, "These are the new people we recruited in the second half of last year. Even though they look happy now, they are actually working very hard. They will be busy after breakfast. They have to work overtime for one or two days every week and cannot leave before 6 o'clock. The overtime pay is not much, and it is very hard. It is nothing like before."

Morning tea? 6 o'clock? Overtime pay?
Hard?

Zhao Liying had originally made up her mind to ask less and listen more, but at this moment she couldn't help herself, "Sister Zhou, what time did you get off work before?"

Sister Zhou said: "At first, we started work at 10 a.m. and got off work at 3 p.m. Later, there was a period of time when the company didn't care what time we worked, but we had to come."

"It wasn't until later... those idiots in the Public Opinion Department got into trouble that life started to get tough for everyone. No one can leave before five o'clock!"

"However, at that time, the company was small, with only about ten people in total, and President Chen and President Qi were also generous. Although the bonus from The Return of the Condor Heroes was only enough to buy a car, but the bonus from The Dark Knight, hehe..."

"Li Jing, who is now Liu Yifei's agent, had just come from Dalian at that time. She used that money to add a little more and paid a down payment for a one-bedroom apartment of more than 60 square meters near the Film Academy."

"These newcomers nowadays, haha, during the Chinese New Year this year, they were so happy to receive a red envelope of ten times their monthly salary that they lost their minds. They have never seen the world."

While Sister Zhou was talking, Zhao Liying saw several people greeting her, and looked at them curiously. To be honest, she now felt that if she really couldn't continue as an actor and couldn't become famous, it would actually be nice to come to the company and work as a clerk or something.

As they were almost at the meeting room, Sister Zhou changed the subject and talked about business: "As I said before, all the artists and directors under the company are here today. When you two go in, don't be nervous and greet them normally. We are all artists of the company, and no one is inferior to anyone else."

"Think about Mr. Chen, right? What's the difference between you two? Tall and short are actually the same. Just listen more and ask less. If you don't understand anything, come down and I'll explain it to you, got it?"

"Yeah. I know."

"understood."

I agreed very well, saying that I was not stage-shy, but when I finally walked into the conference room where many people were already there, and sat down in the empty seat next to Fan Binbing, next to the big star with a fragrant smell,
Zhao Liying was still so nervous that her toes were curled up.

She actually met him once when The Dark Knight was released, but
When she was in Hengdian, no matter which crew she went to,

When I talk to the staff or actors and directors, the two questions I get asked the most are:

The first one is Xiao Zhao, have you seen Chen Nuo in person?

The second one is Xiao Zhao. Is Fan Binbing really that good-looking?
"Zhao Liying, right? This is the second time we meet, right? Last time we were in the cinema, it was pitch dark and we didn't even say hello properly. Hello."

Although Zhao Liying would always answer those people that Sister Binbing is really pretty.

But that was all nonsense. It was pitch black at the time and she couldn't see clearly.

But at this moment, Fan Binbing turned around with a smile on his face and spoke to her gently.

As a woman, she couldn't help but hold her breath when looking at the other person, feeling a little ashamed of herself.

Suddenly, I felt that my previous answers were too gentle. If it were now, her tone would be ten times stronger. Really, really, really... It's really beautiful!
"Binbing, I'm Zhao Liying. It's the second time we meet. Hello." Zhao Liying said with a blushing face.

If it was Zhang Xinyu, she would definitely find a lot of words to praise the other person and build a good relationship. She would never be tongue-tied like this.

But after Zhao Liying said this, I really didn’t know what to say next.

I can only look at each other and smile foolishly.

But... Zhao Liying didn't know if it was her illusion.

She felt that Fan Binbing's pair of heart-moving eyes were slightly bloodshot and red.

And the eye makeup looked like it was just put on, as if she had just cried not long ago.

Well, it must be an illusion.

How is it possible? Why would Fan Binbing cry?

Ah, I should think about what to say. This is so embarrassing.

When Zhao Liying was embarrassed, Zhang Xinyu was a little embarrassed too.

Even though this girl has met countless perverts of all sizes since her debut at the age of 16.

But it's rare to see such blatant coloring.

She didn't know where this little fat man with glasses in front of her came from and how he could sit in this conference room.

But this person actually scanned her body like a scanner with his undisguised eyes right in front of her. How fucking shameless.

Shit, Zhang Xinyu hadn't encountered such a thing in a long time. She cursed in her heart, forced a smile and greeted, "Hello, hello, I'm Zhang Xinyu. Who are you?"

The little fat man's eyes lit up, and he laughed, speaking in Cantonese: "Ha, pretty girl, my name is Pang Ho-cheung, you can call me Fatty Pang, or Handsome Pang. Pretty girl, I think you have a great figure, are you interested in making a movie?"

To Zhang Xinyu's surprise, this fat man with a lecherous look smiled in a way that was a little different from the lecher she had imagined. She hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse outright, and asked, "Are you from Guangdong or Hong Kong? Are you a director?"

"Yes, I'm a director from Hong Kong. I've made a lot of movies. Hiring a Killer, AV, Princess Revenge, Isabella, have you seen any of them? Do you want to act in my movies?"

When Zhang Xinyu heard about AV, her eager heart suddenly calmed down and she smiled politely, "Sorry, I haven't seen it yet. No. Thank you, Shuai Peng."

Shuai Peng was about to say something when the door to the conference room opened.

The first person who came in was very handsome, known to everyone, and often interacted with everyone. He was also very dignified among everyone.

As for the second one, everyone is more familiar with it, but not everyone has come into contact with it.

At least Shuai Peng next to Zhang Xinyu should not have had any, otherwise, he would not have been so nervous when Zhang Xinyu saw this man.
DaDaLieLie whistled beside her and called out, "NuoZai, boss, I finally see you!"

Chen Nuo smiled at him and nodded, "Hello, Director. It's our first meeting. We must have a good chat later."

Then he walked to the main seat and said good morning to everyone in a very relaxed and natural manner.

Then he turned to look at Zhang Xinyu and said, "Xinyu, this is the first time we meet, but I've seen your play, it's great."

Zhang Xinyu was completely dizzy. She wanted to say something, and she seemed to have said something. But she really didn't know what she said.

Chen Nuo continued to greet everyone in order: "Brother Hao, I haven't seen you for a while."

"Nuozi, I'm almost done writing the script, let's talk about it then."

"Okay, anytime. Um, Yifei, hello."

Liu Yifei smiled, hummed softly, and said, "Hello."

"Oh, Aunt Liu, you're here too."

Before Liu Xiaoli came, she had already made up her mind that she would not give this guy a good face.

Encouraging Sissi to steal money! What kind of evil spirit is this? If she stole money this time, should she be given medicine next time?
But at this moment, Chen Nuo nodded at her. Liu Xiaoli didn't know why, but she suddenly smiled brightly and said politely, "Yes, I won't disturb you, will I? I'll just listen in and won't say anything."

Chen Nuo chuckled and said, "It's okay, I won't bother you. Um, Ah Shan."

Janice Man smiled sweetly and said, "Mr. Chen." This made Liu Xiaoli next to her look at him in surprise.

"Binbing, did you just come back from Guangzhou? You've worked hard."

Fan Binbing smiled and said, "It's okay, boss. It's not hard."

Chen Nuo looked at the round-faced girl next to her and said, "Liying, long time no see. I heard that you finally became the heroine. Congratulations."

Zhao Liying looked at the man's normal expression and heard the words "long time no see". Her throat suddenly seemed to be blocked by something and she couldn't utter a word.

Her eyes were a little red and she nodded vigorously.

Chen Nuo looked at her deeply, and then said to the assistants and agents sitting on the small benches against the wall of the conference room, "And Sister Li, Sister Zhou, Sister He, you too, have been running around all year round, and you've all worked hard."

"No, no." "Mr. Chen, you have worked hard." "It's my duty."

Amid the somewhat flattered responses from several agents, Chen Nuo smiled at them and continued, "The reason I called everyone together today is actually because I wanted to meet and chat with everyone. I think every April 4st, we will sit together like this and have a meeting like this..."
