After being dumped by the diva, I was picked up by her arch-enemy.

The 300-square-meter office space felt exceptionally spacious after being opened up.

Jiang Yichen sat in his newly bought boss's chair, with a high-end computer in front of him.

Long, slender fingers flew across the keyboard, and the number of characters on the screen increased continuously.

Crazy Stone.

This classic dark comedy film from a previous life has an extremely ingenious script structure.

Multiple narrative threads, each intricately linked.

Jiang Yichen did not copy every word from his previous life, but made some minor adjustments based on the current era and context.

"Brother Dao, Blackie, Xiao Jun."

"Mike, Bao Shihong."

Each vivid character's name leaps off the page.

He typed out that classic line.

"Brand: Baleno!"

And that line.

"Damn it!"

The script was progressing smoothly, but another matter was giving him a headache.

The music studio's recruitment process has stalled.

In the past few days, he has posted recruitment information through various channels.

We are recruiting professional arrangers, mixing engineers, and mastering engineers.

There were quite a few people coming for interviews.

But very few of them could catch his eye.

In his previous life, as a music producer, Jiang Yichen had relatively high requirements for music quality.

The Chinese music scene in this world is too much like an assembly line.

They take a few ready-made sample kits, put on a universal chord like "4536251", and dare to call themselves upstart producers.

They're either seasoned veterans who've just coasted along, with impressive resumes that are actually full of fluff.

However, although technical personnel are hard to find, with more time and money, we can always find a few with real skills.

What really gives Jiang Yichen a headache is the lack of management talent.

He has too many things to do right now.

I need to keep an eye on the theater company, write movie scripts, and personally produce the new album.

He simply didn't have the extra energy to handle the studio's daily operations.

We handle coordination with major music platforms, copyright registration, publicity and distribution planning, and staff attendance.

These trivial yet extremely important administrative tasks must be handled by a professional and reliable brand manager.

Should they recruit them through headhunting firms?

Jiang Yichen didn't trust people he didn't know well.

He leaned back in his chair, his fingers unconsciously twirling the pen.

A haughty face suddenly flashed through my mind.

Gu Ruanxing.

As one of the top entertainment companies in Shanghai, Star Entertainment should have no shortage of professional management talent.

Jiang Yichen stopped twirling his pen, picked up his phone, and dialed Gu Ruanxing's number.

The phone rang several times before it was answered.

Gu Ruanxing's slightly nasal voice came through the receiver, clearly indicating that she had just woken up.

"Feed? Jiang Yichen, you'd better have something extremely urgent to tell me."

"Otherwise, I'll fly all the way to the capital and bite you to death!"

Jiang Yichen glanced at the time in the lower right corner of the computer screen.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

"Miss Gu, what time is it? Are you still sleeping? Is Starry Sky Entertainment going bankrupt?"

Gu Ruanxing snorted coldly on the other end of the phone.

"Mind your own business! Speak up if you have something to say, or shut up!"

Jiang Yichen smiled and didn't beat around the bush with her.

I need to borrow someone from you.

"Borrow someone?" Gu Ruanxing's tone was much more sober. "Borrow what? I'm not lending Lin Qinghe; she's my cash cow right now!"

"Don't worry, I won't covet your tree." Jiang Yichen tapped his fingers on the table.

"I set up a music studio in Beijing."

"What we need now is a brand manager who can oversee the overall situation."

"Do you have any suitable candidates under your command? Get one for me."

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone.

Then came Gu Ruanxing's incredulous voice.

"You went to the capital to open a theater troupe, and now you want to start a music studio?"

Jiang Yichen said calmly, "Just tell me if anyone is here."

Gu Ruanxing pouted arrogantly. "What kind of talent doesn't Xingchen Entertainment have?"

"However, the salaries for these senior management talents are not low. Can your makeshift team afford them?"

Jiang Yichen's lips curled into a smile.

"Money is not a problem. As long as the person is reliable and capable, that's fine."

Gu Ruanxing immediately perked up.

"You said it yourself! Perfect timing, I have a very suitable candidate in my hands."

"I previously worked as an assistant to the director at Star Entertainment for several years. I have excellent business skills and am meticulous in my work."

"I resigned later due to some personal matters, and I'm just now thinking about looking for a new job."

Jiang Yichen nodded.

"Okay, send me her contact information, I'll talk to her."

"No need for that trouble," Gu Ruanxing said with a hint of smugness.

"I'm going to Beijing on a business trip in a few days, and I'll bring the person over with me then."

"You'd better get your roast duck ready; I want to eat at the most expensive one!"

Jiang Yichen raised an eyebrow.

"No problem. All you can eat."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yichen breathed a sigh of relief.

With the management issues resolved, the next step is to expedite the script's progress.

...........

Two days later, Chen Hao rushed over in a flurry.

"Brother Jiang! The scaffolding for the film crew is up and running!"

Chen Hao was so excited that his face turned red.

"Fatty has already contacted equipment rental, and Skinny Monkey is running around coordinating the extras."

"I even brought over a few junior students from our school's directing department to work as production assistants!"

Seeing his posture of being ready to make a big splash at any moment, Jiang Yichen handed him the printed script.

"Don't get too excited yet. Here's the script, take a look."

"Give me a list of the scenes inside, and I'll go scouting locations in the next couple of days."

Chen Hao accepted the script with both hands, as if it were a priceless treasure.

"Don't worry, Brother Jiang! I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"

He eagerly turned to the first page and started reading right there.

As he watched, Chen Hao's expression began to change.

From initial doubt to later surprise, it eventually turned into fervor.

"Brother Jiang...this script..."

Chen Hao raised his head and swallowed.

"This multi-narrative structure is absolutely brilliant!"

"Several people from different camps were brought together by chance because of a jade thumb ring."

"This coincidence is brilliantly designed!"

Jiang Yichen leaned back in his chair, looking at Chen Hao's naive and unsophisticated demeanor.

"As long as you understand it, that's enough."

"This film doesn't have any grand scenes; it relies entirely on the actors' direction and the language of the camera to drive the plot."

"I don't know anything about directing. This whole thing is your responsibility."

Chen Hao's eyes widened.

"Give it to me? Complete authority?"

Jiang Yichen nodded.

He had no knowledge of film; his extraordinary memories from his time travel allowed him to remember the plot. He figured it was better to leave it to professionals.

Moreover, although Chen Hao is prone to overthinking, he is undeniably skilled in his work.

"Casting, location scouting, and overall coordination are all up to you. If you run out of money, come to me for reimbursement," Jiang Yichen said calmly.

Chen Hao's eyes instantly reddened.

A multi-million dollar investment!

It was handed over to him so easily, to a greenhorn who had just graduated.

What incredible trust!

"Brother Jiang!" Chen Hao bowed deeply at a ninety-degree angle.

"A scholar will die for one who understands him! If this play is a disaster, I'll offer my head!"

Jiang Yichen's lips twitched slightly.

"Alright, alright, stop threatening to kill me so easily."

"Get to work quickly."
