In the entertainment industry, everyone has been reborn, but who will be their servant?

Chapter 62 Does it look like a pig?
After the chorus, they ate and drank to their hearts' content, naturally toasting each other and strengthening their bonds.

Many people, whether acquaintances or strangers, met at this celebration banquet; that's a kind of friendship.

Over time, circles will gradually form.

"Sister Yifei, we salute you." Shen Ao and the others helped each other up.

Liu Yifei, who was with them, was also flushed, but she was still relatively sober. When she saw one of them about to collapse, she reached out to support him and laughed, "Oh dear... are you guys alright?!"

"Who said we're no good? We're not leaving until we're drunk!" Zhang Linke pounded his chest, his eyes glazed over from drinking.

"Then drink!" Liu Yifei said generously, pouring herself a glass.

The group clattered and drank several more cups of wine, and their conversation grew increasingly lively.

"Sister Yifei, you can work with us on movies from now on. Look, we're just as good as those big directors, aren't we? We can still make good movies with high box office returns." Zhang Linke slurred, just like a drunkard who likes to ramble on when he's had too much to drink.

The others nodded vigorously, barely able to stand.

"Then you should have come to me! If you didn't come to me, how could I make a movie with you? There's no script for me, nothing about me. Let me tell you, you're not being fair! You call yourselves brothers? Punish yourselves with a drink." Liu Yifei's tongue was tied, and she talked a lot.

"Then you should contact President Xuan. He wrote the script and found the actors. He didn't contact you. We even strongly suggested you contact him back then."

Zhang Linke turned his head, forehead to forehead with Shen Ao's: "Right?"

“Yes, yes.” Shen Ao had no idea what they were talking about.

They never offered any advice; they were just spouting nonsense.

"Then I'll go find him later. He's a bad guy. You guys can't run away either. You have to drink too." Liu Yifei pointed at them and drank a few more glasses of wine with them.

She's very popular here, simply because she's outgoing and her laughter and conversation are very endearing. Many people enjoy drinking with her, and she never refuses a drink, going from glass to glass without ever getting drunk.

Qin Xuan and Ye Ning clinked glasses. Ye Ning said, "President Xuan is a heroic young man. He led a group of young people who knew nothing to make movies and start a business. He did it."

He knew those people were no good at all; they were completely manipulated by Qin Xuan.

"Liu Bang conquered the world from just one county, and Zhu Yuanzhang's civil and military generals mostly came from his hometown of Fengyang. Therefore, you don't need too many entrepreneurial talents, nor do you need too many professionals," Qin Xuan said.

“That’s right.” Ye Ning clinked glasses with him.

Qin Xuan took a sip and said, "Manager Ye, both of these movies have been in theaters for over a month now. When would you like to get our money back?"

"This can't be rushed. It will take at least six months to collect the payment. We also need to collect payments from those cinemas. You know, payments for goods are the hardest to get."

"Could I pay in advance, or even just a portion?" Qin Xuan tried.

"What, are you short of money?" Ye Ning asked, looking at him.

"What kind of question is that? Do I look like I'm very rich?" Qin Xuan shrugged.

Ye Ning smiled, of course she knew he had no money.

“This is my first pot of gold, it didn’t come easy. Could you pay me a little in advance? Besides, I’m going to shoot a new film at the beginning of the year, and I need money for that too,” Qin Xuan said.

"Don't worry, Wanda will support you in making the new film, and we'll be working together more deeply. As for the advance payment, I'll let Mr. Wang know. I reckon he'll want to talk to you personally." Ye Ning had spoken with Mr. Wang, and he seemed to have that intention.

"Then I'll wait." Qin Xuan nodded.

"By the way, when will the third movie be released?" Ye Ning asked.

"After the New Year," Qin Xuan said.

This period belonged to Stephen Chow; he didn't have many good ideas to compete with, having already exhausted all the strategies he could use.

He can't possibly stir up another wave of hatred by attacking Stephen Chow again! Besides, this movie isn't going to be easy to make money at the box office, so he's looking for a less competitive release date to try and earn something.

Just as the two were talking, Qin Xuan felt someone pat his shoulder. He turned around and saw Liu Yifei approaching him with a flushed face and smelling of alcohol.

"You rascal, have a drink with me." She held up her glass. "How am I a rascal?" Qin Xuan asked, bewildered.

"It is you, they all say it is you." Liu Yifei swayed, her words incoherent.

Qin Xuan saw that she had drunk a bit too much, but didn't take it seriously. He took the wine glass from her hand and put it on the table, saying, "You're drunk. I'll take you home."

"I'm not drunk, I can still drink," Liu Yifei shouted.

Qin Xuan ignored her, put his arm around her, greeted Ye Ning, and walked out of the banquet hall.

After all, he's a celebrity. It wouldn't be good if he drank too much and embarrassed himself; it might even become a black mark on his past.

However, the cameras were turned off during the eating and drinking process.

In the elevator, Qin Xuan held Liu Yifei's arm, the two of them very close. Looking at her blushing face so close to his own and smelling the fragrance emanating from her body, he couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart.

The combination of sight and smell was almost too much for him; his gaze was fixed on those rosy lips, and he couldn't resist the urge to take a bite.

"Do I look like a pig?" Liu Yifei poked her nose and grunted twice.

This comical act immediately shattered Qin Xuan's romantic thoughts, and she couldn't help but laugh: "It's just like it, it's very much like it!"

"Is that pig pretty?" Liu Yifei pouted, looking rather silly.

"Beautiful, like a fairy." Qin Xuan didn't expect her to have this silly side. It's a pity he didn't have a smartphone. If he did, he would have taken a picture of her.

"I don't like celestial beings, I should say Pan An, as handsome as Pan An," Liu Yifei rambled on, saying all sorts of nonsense.

Qin Xuan could only respond with "Yes, yes".

The elevator quickly reached the underground parking garage. Qin Xuan helped her to a minivan. Liu Yifei's driver and assistant were there; she hadn't come alone.

The assistant was a woman, and the driver was a man. Seeing that Liu Yifei was drunk, they quickly went to help her.

Qin Xuan also helped Liu Yifei into the car.

"Call Aunt Liu and explain the situation," Qin Xuan instructed his assistant to call Liu Xiaoli.

"Oh!"

The female assistant took out her phone and made a call.

This was to prevent any unexpected events from happening on the road, so that Liu Xiaoli would know who Liu Yifei was with, and to avoid any misunderstandings later.

Anyway, it won't do any harm to let her mom know.

Liu Xiaoli asked on the phone, "Who brought Qianqian down?"

"It was sent by President Xuan, and he's the one who asked me to make the call," the female assistant told the truth.

"Okay, be careful on the road and drive slowly," Liu Xiaoli instructed before hanging up the phone.

I never expected that boy to be so thoughtful.

The celebration party ended late at night. Those who wanted to continue playing moved to another location, while those who didn't want to go back stayed at the hotel.

All expenses for this celebration banquet were charged to the New Forces account, with Wanda initially covering the costs. The costs would be deducted from the box office revenue later.

The celebration banquet was effective, becoming a topic of conversation among students at institutions such as the Beijing Film Academy and the Central Academy of Drama, and the name "President Xuan" also spread among their groups.

No one spoke ill of him; some people even volunteered to invest in him and work with him.

The talent pool issue has been resolved.
