I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

"This is how it happened..."

Zeng Li recounted the difficulties Mei Ting had encountered.

Cheng Sheng fell silent.

Four dramas a year, unless they overlap, is actually not a lot.

In the fiercely competitive entertainment industry, it has become common for actors to film five or six projects at the same time in order to gain attention and exposure. However, young actors often lack solid basic skills and are filming many projects simultaneously, so the quality of their work is often difficult to guarantee.

For example, Yang Mi is a typical actress who likes to take on multiple roles at once.

She filmed 11 movies in a year, becoming known as the "Queen of Filming Multiple Movies in One Year".

If each film has a three-month shooting cycle, at least three films would be shot during the same period, and this would only be possible if there were no commercial activities involved.

It has to be said that Yang Mi is really working hard to produce such a high output.

Of course, filming multiple projects at once also brought Yang Mi endless troubles.

Filming five movies in four months at the same time, with different roles, was mentally challenging due to the constant switching between them. How can an actor produce high-quality works or demonstrate acting skills if they are not in good condition?
For example, not long ago, the casting for "Dream of the Red Chamber" was announced on TV, and Yang Mi participated in the drama. However, she was also filming other projects at the same time. So, she was not in the right state of mind and naturally could not capture the feeling that the director required. Therefore, the final result of Yang Mi's performance was not ideal.

Before she became famous, Yang Mi was always filming multiple projects at once. In order to leave a good impression on the directors, she would secretly film in multiple productions. Such an unsettled actress found it difficult to settle down and study the characteristics of the characters, because her mind was always on how to finish filming as quickly as possible and then rush to the next production.

If an actor like this were to appear in Cheng Sheng's film, Cheng Sheng would absolutely not choose them; he would eliminate them outright, regardless of their status or popularity in the entertainment industry.

Anyway, Cheng Sheng can't afford an actor like that.

Yang Mi didn't consider the quality of her work, so her acting skills were naturally questioned by the audience.

Cheng Sheng could understand Yang Mi's decision to take on multiple roles simultaneously in her early career. After all, for a newcomer to the film and television industry, securing more screen time was essential for her to be appreciated by the right people.

However, even after gaining fame, Yang Mi continued to take on multiple roles simultaneously without taking the time to reflect on and study her characters, which drew criticism.

This has led to her acting skills being constantly discussed and even compared with those of new actresses.

Mei Ting is clearly not an actress like Yang Mi; she doesn't like taking on multiple roles at once.

But she had already signed the contract, so it was unlikely she could refuse even if she wanted to.

To be honest, Cheng Sheng still admired Mei Ting.

Although Mei Ting is a bit love-struck, she lives more clearly than anyone else.

She has a good reputation in the entertainment industry, and her acting skills are praised by the public.

After her divorce, Mei Ting devoted herself entirely to her career, and her acting skills matured day by day.

In 2012, she returned to the public eye with her role in the TV series "Parents' Love". Amazingly, her acting skills were more delicate and mature than before.

This not only brought her to a new peak in her career, but also led her to meet her other half.

"Helping you is no problem. I can put in a good word and arrange for the four film crews to stagger their start times. I have that much influence," Cheng Sheng said after considering for a moment.

"Thank you, honey."

Upon hearing this, Zeng Li happily hugged Cheng Sheng.

"I've done your best friend such a big favor, how are you going to thank me later?" Cheng Sheng said with a wicked smile.

“I can give you a surprise,” Zeng Li said with a smile.

"A surprise? What is it?"

Cheng Sheng asked with a curious look.

"I can't tell you, you'll find out when the time comes," Zeng Li said mysteriously.

Looking into Zeng Li's eyes, Cheng Sheng grew increasingly curious. What surprise could it be?

Is this a position that will be banned from being used in the future?
Suck.

Thinking of this, Cheng Sheng swallowed.

I can't think about it anymore, or I'll turn into a beast.

"Okay, I'm going back now."

"Ok."

Zeng Li returned to her home.

"Sister Mei, Cheng Sheng has agreed to help."

Zeng Li shared this good news with Mei Ting.

"Really?"

"Mmm." "That's great, thank you, Big Pear."

"You're my best friend, I'll definitely help you if you're in trouble."

Zeng Li patted her chest and said.

"Big Pear, you've touched me so much. If you were a man, I would gladly give myself to you," Mei Ting teased, hooking her arm around Zeng Li's.

Zeng Li chuckled mischievously and said, "It's not impossible."

"Hey, Big Pear, something's off about your eyes! What are you trying to do?"

Upon seeing this, Mei Ting crossed her arms and stared warily at Zeng Li.

Zeng Li didn't say anything, but instead reached out her devilish hand and pinched it hard.

“It’s not a high-tech product,” Zeng Li said with a smile, withdrawing her hand.

"You... what do you mean? I really can't be more real than this. Wait, Big Pear, you seem to have turned bad. Is it Cheng Shengye...?"

"Don't say it."

"I knew it, it seems Director Cheng..."

"Ouch, I'll scratch you to death."

"Haha, wait, I'm ticklish... I'm fighting back."

"Haha, stop, it's so itchy!"

For a time, Zeng Li and Mei Ting went crazy and made a ruckus together.

The laughter was deafening; the joy was unstoppable.

the other side.

Cheng Sheng made a phone call: "Hey, Sister Aina, I'm going to a meeting at the company this afternoon. Please invite the company's senior management and the director along."

"Yes, hold an end-of-year meeting and then discuss next year's development."

"That's fine!"

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Sheng planned to go to Jinxiu Garden Community to see how the renovation of his large apartment was going.

After purchasing the large apartment, Cheng Sheng entrusted the renovation work to Jiangsu Ying.

However, Jiangsu Ying is currently busy honing her acting skills and practicing martial arts because she is going to play Princess Nihuang in "Nirvana in Fire," and she rarely has time to oversee the renovation work.

He had to go and see for himself how the renovation was progressing.

We arrived at the Splendid Garden.

Cheng Sheng took the elevator directly to the 21st floor.

This is the top floor, and also the most luxurious single-level apartment in Jinxiu Garden.

There are two floors in total, and the space is very large.

Jingle bells!

As soon as Cheng Sheng stepped out of the elevator, he heard the sounds of renovations.

Hello.

Cheng Sheng greeted the construction workers.

As soon as a worker saw Cheng Sheng, he immediately came up to him with a smile and said, "Director Cheng, what brings you here?"

"I came to check on the progress of your renovations," Cheng Sheng said casually.

"Don't worry, the renovation is going very smoothly and will definitely be completed on time," the foreman said.

"Okay, then show me around."

"Okay, come this way, watch your step."

"Ah."

The leader led Cheng Sheng on a tour of the large apartment.

Although Cheng Sheng didn't know anything about interior design, he did know about interior design materials.

He discovered that all the materials were top-of-the-line, and the renovation company had not cut corners.

That makes sense; the renovation company Jiangsu Ying chose was the most reliable and had the best reputation in the industry. (End of Chapter)
