Huayu: Starting from managing the Mahua FunAge Theater Troupe

It was a little after six in the evening.

Jinghong City, Water Splashing Square.

At this moment, more than 50,000 people have gathered in this 60,000-square-meter area.

There were local residents and tourists from other places.

They came to watch a charity performance, or simply to join in the fun.

There's nothing wrong with joining in the fun; as long as it helps spread awareness about child abduction prevention, it's a good thing.

The performance started at 7 p.m. and ended at 9:30 p.m.

……

the other side.

Daiyuan Hotel, Jinghong City.

This is the first four-star hotel in a prefecture-level city in Yunnan Province, jointly funded by the Provincial Government Affairs Administration Bureau and the Yunnan Provincial Tobacco Company.

The interior is luxuriously decorated, and the background is very powerful.

As CCTV's first heavily invested youth idol drama, "Sky City" was mainly produced by a team from "Meteor Garden," with many people from Taiwan also involved.

The Jinghong Municipal Bureau of Culture, Sports, Radio, Film and Television, which was responsible for coordinating the filming, naturally reserved most of the guest rooms at the Daiyuan Hotel for the crew of "Sky City".

Li Bingbing and Li Xue also stayed here.

Li Xue has already contacted the hotel and booked a private room at the restaurant, inviting Shen Feiyang to meet there at 8 PM.

……

It was around 7:50 PM.

Shen Feiyang took a three-wheeled vehicle to the Daiyuan Hotel from the crowded Water Splashing Square.

Li Xue was already waiting at the hotel entrance.

Shen Feiyang got off the three-wheeled vehicle and walked towards Li Xue.

The two looked at each other.

They sized each other up.

The heat in Jinghong lingered into the evening.

Li Xue wore a white short-sleeved shirt with thin fabric and the cuffs rolled up to mid-forearm. She paired it with a dark knee-length skirt and low-heeled sandals.

At 29, her facial features were more defined than when she was in her early twenties. She wore light makeup and a light-colored lipstick.

Shen Feiyang's clothing style is simple.

Wearing a short-sleeved top and shorts.

He was over 1.8 meters tall, with muscular physiques full of hormones, wheat-colored skin, and the rugged face typical of handsome men from Northeast China.

Li Xue was momentarily dazed, remembering the boy in the next class when she was studying in her hometown in Heilongjiang.

"Hello? Ms. Li Xue?" Shen Feiyang extended his hand.

Li Xue gently grasped Shen Feiyang's hand and smiled, "Hello, Mr. Shen. Let's go inside and talk; it's too hot outside."

"it is good."

……

The Dai Garden Hotel has three floors.

The hotel features the Peacock Hall restaurant, specializing in Dai and Yunnan cuisine, as well as the Yue Lai Xuan Chinese restaurant, which focuses on Cantonese cuisine.

Li Xue booked Yue Lai Xuan.

She doesn't really like Dai and Yunnan cuisine.

Enter the private room.

The private room was air-conditioned and very cool.

The private room is not large, and can accommodate about 8-10 people at the same time.

However, since only Li Xue and Shen Feiyang were dining, the space seemed quite spacious.

Shen Feiyang and Li Xue sat down two chairs apart.

The waiter stood aside, waiting for the two to order.

Shen Feiyang casually ordered a few dishes.

We ordered a roast meat platter, steamed grouper, boiled shrimp, sweet and sour pork with radish, and steamed spare ribs with black bean sauce. For our main dishes, we had shrimp dumplings and siu mai.

Li Xue ordered drinks and several of her favorite snacks.

The waiter left the room.

Li Xue adjusted her posture, looked at Shen Feiyang, and asked, "Mr. Shen, are you also from Heilongjiang?"

"Yes, from Qiqihar."

"What a coincidence, I'm from Wuchang."

"No wonder it felt so familiar, like meeting a friendly older sister next door." Shen Feiyang said with a smile.

Li Xue chuckled, "Wouldn't I be getting a huge advantage if I accepted you as my younger brother?"

"That depends on what kind of benefit you're looking for. I won't give you money, and I won't give you my life either. But if you want my person... I'll have to think about it," Shen Feiyang joked.

Li Xue glared at him, feigning anger: "Am I not pretty?"

"You're beautiful. But my mom said that beautiful girls are good at lying, and that I should stay away from girls. See, that's why I don't dare to sit next to you."

Li Xue laughed and said, "Don't think I haven't read 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber'."

Li Xue patted the chair next to her, gave Shen Feiyang a meaningful look, and waved her hand: "If you really think I'm pretty, come sit down."

"This...isn't that a bad idea?"

Shen Feiyang feigned modesty: "I don't want to be an entertainer yet."

"Hahaha……"

After laughing a few times, Li Xue said, "President Shen, you are very different from the rumors."

Li Bingbing is now the top artist under Huayi Brothers, the largest entertainment company in Beijing.

Li Xue got to know many people in Beijing's elite circles through Li Bingbing, hoping to easily find out Shen Feiyang's background.

Shen Feiyang's image in the martial arts world can be summarized in three words: arrogant, domineering, and impetuous.

Shen Feiyang sat up straight and said in a serious tone, "I must clarify that I am true to myself."

Bang bang bang.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the private room, interrupting the conversation.

Li Xue said loudly, "Go in."

The waiter brought the dishes on trays.

A short while later.

All the dishes were served.

"Mr. Shen, please."

"OK."

The two started eating.

Seeing that Shen Feiyang was focused on eating, Li Xue stopped trying to start a conversation and concentrated on enjoying her food.

There was a brief chat during that time.

Li Xue mainly confirmed Shen Feiyang's age.

Shen Feiyang said that he just celebrated his 19th birthday on June 20th.

When Li Xue thought about how she was 29 years old, she couldn't help but feel a sense of defeat, mixed with a hint of envy and jealousy.

Shen Feiyang did much more than she did.

Li Xue also needs to be adept at social maneuvering, mingling at dinner parties and drinking parties to help her sister find resources.

Shen Feiyang, however, is building a platform, and is himself a powerful resource provider.

No wonder Zhao Benshan values ​​him so highly.

Li Xue pondered to herself.

Although the film and television resources in Northeast China are generally average, it's a good alternative to the Beijing film and television circle. Who knows, maybe we can get a chance to perform a skit on the Spring Festival Gala through the Northeast China circle.

Happy Twist is clearly on that trend.

……

"Are you full? You can order more if you're not full." Li Xue, who had already eaten about 70% of her fill and was resting with her chopsticks, was somewhat surprised to see that Shen Feiyang had finished all the remaining food on the table. She asked with concern.

"I'm full, I'm full. The main thing is that I hate wasting food."

"That's fine. Here, a tissue."

Li Xue picked up the tissue box in front of her and handed it to Shen Feiyang.

"Thanks……"

Shen Feiyang turned sideways to take the tissue box, glancing at the abyss as he did so.

He and Li Xue were two chairs apart. Li Xue turned to the side to hand him a tissue, and as she did so, her collar was pulled wide open.

Li Xue, whose attention was focused on Shen Feiyang, naturally sensed it.

Li Xue is no longer a little girl.

She sat up straight and tossed her hair back.

Shen Feiyang silently pulled out a tissue and wiped his lips.

There was silence for a few seconds.

Li Xuecai then asked, "President Shen, with so many excellent sketches produced by Happy Twist, won't focusing solely on sketches become increasingly limiting?"

Li Xue then explained, "What I mean is that there is a problem of homogenization and a ceiling in the quantity of creative works. You see, some sketch comedy actors may only produce a dozen or so high-quality sketches in their entire lives, while Happy Twist can produce a lifetime's worth in just a few months."

Shen Feiyang nodded slightly: "Ms. Li, your observation is very accurate..."

"President Shen, you can just call me by my name," Li Xue interrupted somewhat inappropriately.

"Oh, okay. I'll continue. Focusing solely on sketch comedy will definitely lead to a narrower and narrower path."

Shen Feiyang continued, "As for how to solve this problem, since it involves our company's core secrets, I can only give you a general idea. That is, we will diversify our business. We will focus on stage plays and expand into TV series, movies, variety shows and other business lines."

Li Xue made some plans in her mind.

Shen Feiyang has made his two performance groups famous through "Chinese Comedians," enabling them to generate a continuous cash flow through stage plays and crosstalk performances.

At the same time, Shen Feiyang's success with "Chinese Comedians" proved his control over content, established connections with television stations, and it's no surprise that he's venturing into television dramas, not to mention variety shows.

As for the movie...

Li Xue asked curiously, "Mr. Shen, do you also have access to film resources?"

Shen Feiyang smiled slightly: "That's a secret."

Humph……

Li Xue stretched out her arm and rested it on the chair next to her, turning to look at Shen Feiyang, blinking as she asked, "Then would you like to know my sister's secret?"
