Pirates began to dominate the Chinese entertainment industry.

Wait a minute, it's January 1st, 2008 now, which means that the nationally sensational, "very yellow and very violent" major event is happening at the end of this month!

He remembered that the film seemed to need Ah Sa to come in as a replacement at the end, so how could it possibly start filming on schedule?

It seems that Hu Ge is definitely going to be the third male lead. With his popularity and this being his first appearance after his injury, he's worth at least a million yuan at the box office, which will ease the pressure of recouping the investment.

Ji Yun chuckled foolishly, startling everyone.

He realized what was happening and cleared his throat: "That's such a shame. How about this, if the movie is postponed, let him make a cameo appearance for free."

"The contract has been signed and the money has been paid. How could the release date be changed suddenly? The production company isn't going to be taken advantage of."

But they're the unlucky ones, Ji Yun thought to herself.

"It's okay, just in case."

"Okay." Cai Yinong nodded in agreement, not taking it seriously, thinking that Ji Yun was just saying it casually.

Seeing that she didn't take it seriously, Ji Yun immediately probed again: "It's a pity that we couldn't cooperate with Hu Ge. President Cai, could I borrow your company's online army sometime?"

Cai Yinong was taken aback by his sudden change of topic and said irritably, "Are you ever going to stop? Or should I get you a personal secretary?"

Ji Yun subconsciously glanced around, her gaze landing on Liu Shishi, who had a blank expression, in the corner.

He looked her up and down, and thought, "Hmm, she's definitely a good candidate."

"Is it free?" he couldn't help but ask.

"roll!"

Ji Yun pursed her lips, but seeing the other party's eyes wide with anger, she didn't say anything more, still feeling unsatisfied.

He planned to show the finished product to the other party after filming before discussing terms.

Mr. Cai, you didn't want this either...

Tangren's online army is quite famous in the industry. Not only has the boss himself personally participated, but Tangren's current economic director, Jia Shikai, is known as the "head of the online army" and is most skilled in online public opinion warfare.

Even after starting his own business, he remained the boss of Yang Yang, Song Qian, Yang Ying, and others.

This kind of "talent" should be put to my use.

"Xiao Zhao, bring the contract here." Ji Yun called out, only to find Xiao Zhao still standing there in a daze. "Xiao Zhao!"

"Oh, oh." Xiao Zhao quickly handed the contract to Cai Yinong.

"President Ji, you're really well-prepared, huh?" Cai Yinong chuckled dryly. So you already knew you could close the deal? Doesn't that make you look useless...?

"It's all thanks to President Cai for giving us this opportunity. I've heard that President Cai is willing to mentor younger generations. Otherwise, Tangren wouldn't have been able to cultivate a complete newcomer like Hu Ge."

Liu Shishi sat in the corner, listening silently to the two's pointless pleasantries, secretly glancing at Ji Yun, and quietly letting her guard down a little.

He seems like a decent person, so he should be able to act well.

Liu Shishi thought he was a spoiled brat this morning, but now, seeing his eloquent manner, she realized that he could actually get the strong woman in her heart to willingly do his work for free. He seemed very impressive, and had a youthful yet mature air about him.

She had everything arranged for her by her parents since she was a child, and she knew that she didn't have much of her own opinion, so she always had a special fondness for people who could give her a sense of security.

Liu Shishi actually wanted to go up and find out if what he had just said was true, and if he really wanted to cast her in a movie. Sigh, he wouldn't give her a definite answer.

That's what I thought, but I still felt really embarrassed.

She had never initiated a conversation with a guy before, and with so many familiar faces around, it was incredibly awkward.

The little lion just wanted a job; he had no other intentions whatsoever!

the other side.

Xiao Zhao took the contract that both parties had just signed, looking somewhat dazed.

That's it?

They borrowed Tangren's filming team without paying a single penny, and even had a group of Tangren's stars act for free?

With that kind of eloquence, why bother making movies? Just go spread... cough, you could make a fortune that way too.

"What are the next steps, President Ji?" Cai Yinong asked.

"Let's secure the two lead actors first. Xu Zheng is a senior from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, so we can ask the teachers there to help introduce him. As for Wang Baoqiang, we'll have to use Huayi Brothers' official contact methods."

Cai Yinong nodded, then said, "Since I'm listed as the producer, I can't just do nothing. I have their contact information; you can say I gave it to you when you contact them. Also, I'll personally submit your script for review."

Ji Yun was startled.

Cai Yinong actually agreed to let me negotiate under Tangren's name, which would indeed be of great help.

After all, I'm just a freshman in college, and the company wasn't exactly reputable before.

"I can't accept this..." Ji Yun said politely, but inwardly she became wary, guessing the other party's true intentions.

Kind intentions? Or greed?

It can't be because of someone else, can it?

Cai Yinong keenly noticed Ji Yun's hesitation and smiled:

"It's just a small condition. If this film doesn't make money in the end, Mr. Ji's company will probably be in a tough spot. I know a little about your company's situation."

If it really comes to that, I hope President Ji will definitely consider joining Tangren!

"President Cai thinks so highly of me?" Ji Yun was a little confused, not understanding why she was suddenly being so friendly.

"I don't know how good you are at acting, but you're definitely a shrewd businessman! Your ability to seize opportunities and make money out of thin air is truly impressive. We at Tangren Media need talents like you!"

"Hehe, really? Thanks for the compliment." Ji Yun laughed awkwardly, even her thick skin couldn't hide her embarrassment.

After saying that, he accepted the contact information slip from Tangren's assistant and quickly left with Xiao Zhao.

"Are we really going to hire him?" Yuan Hong leaned closer to the boss and asked curiously.

Watching Ji Yun's departing figure, Cai Yinong felt a delighted surprise, as if she had discovered a perfect employee. She turned to Liu Shishi, who was in a daze, and said, "If you can bring him into our company after filming starts, I'll arrange a lead role for you."

"Eh." Liu Shishi blinked, but suddenly her expression turned serious.

Sister Cai is testing me!

You think you can trick me into telling you anything? No way!

Me? I'm smart!

"Don't worry, Sister Cai, I'll definitely keep my distance from him while filming!" Liu Shishi declared her loyalty, putting on an act that showed she was only focused on her career.

"..."

"Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Shishi is a girl after all..." Yuan Hong said hesitantly.

"If you can bring it over, I'll give it to you too."

"The female lead?" Yuan Hong stared with her intelligent eyes.

"?" Cai Yinong suddenly felt that Tangren's future was in jeopardy: "The male lead!"

"...I would go through fire and water for the Tang people!" Yuan Hong straightened her back and patted her chest as she spoke.

He then immediately strode towards the door.

Where are you going?

"I'll go see President Ji off!"

Cai Yinong's lips twitched. The thought that her eldest brother was also a goofball gave her a headache.

How can we run a company well with this bunch of scum around!

……

"Sister Cai, are you planning to bring him into our company because you don't think he can succeed?" Liu Shishi asked tentatively.

Right now, all she can think about is whether or not this movie can be made; she really wants this job.

"Making a movie is not that simple. Have you ever seen a first-year acting student successfully make a movie? Not to mention his investment acumen, it's a miracle he didn't lose everything. He's gambled everything on this movie, but unfortunately, the chances are slim."

"Huh? Then why did you help him by sending people and effort?" Liu Shishi frowned, her beautiful eyebrows furrowing, suddenly feeling a little worried for Ji Yun.

"Tangren needs to release positive news now in order to sell dramas and recover funds as soon as possible."

Whether the movie is good or bad isn't that important, since we didn't contribute any money anyway.

But it will leave a good reputation for supporting new directors, and perhaps it will even attract some new directors to enter the film market in the future.

After Cai Yinong finished speaking, she patted Liu Shishi's beautiful shoulder: "Alright, don't think too much. Movies aren't that easy to make successful. You just finished filming, so I'll give you a few days off. Go back and get some rest."

Liu Shishi didn't speak, but stared blankly at the gate.
