I'm unbeatable at extracting skills from celebrities!

The boy is so handsome!

This was Yu Feihong's first impression of Jiangnan. In terms of both appearance and temperament, he seemed to surpass her former lover, Liu Yunlong.

However, upon closer inspection, her impression of Jiangnan doesn't seem to be very good.

Despite having hands and feet and a strong body, he refused to carry his luggage or bag, and didn't even lend a hand to the man next to him who was exhausted.

Of course, this is not the point.

The key point is that Yu Feihong remembers the purpose of her visit to Jiangnan.

Hello, Jiangnan!

Upon seeing Jiang Nan approaching, Yu Feihong took the initiative to greet him.

"Hello, Teacher Yu!"

Upon seeing the goddess, Jiangnan was still a little excited. In his previous life, the two had met once. In 05, when this beauty recorded the song "How Long Will You Go?", Jiangnan was her music producer.

Unfortunately, the song didn't make much of a splash, and of course, Yu Feihong herself didn't have any intention of becoming a singer.

"You know me?" Yu Feihong asked in surprise.

He could actually recite his own surname and occupation in one breath?!

"Of course!"

Jiangnan smiled happily when he saw the beautiful woman.

"At the beginning of this year, I came to the Beijing Film Academy to take the entrance exam, and you were already one of the examiners at that time."

  

"Oh... really?"

I don't think I remember quite well.

Yu Feihong smiled apologetically.

In February, when the Beijing Film Academy organized its entrance exams, it coincided with the height of her conflict with Liu Yunlong. She wanted him to stay at the school so that the two of them could elope.

However, Liu Yunlong insisted on acting in a stage play...

Now, he no longer wants to stay at the Central Experimental Theatre and wants to go to the South to become a singer. This is precisely why he came to Jiangnan.

"It's alright, Teacher Yu, is there anything I can help you with?" Jiang Nan pointed to the Qing Dynasty-style guesthouse in front of them, indicating that he should go in and arrange his room.

"have!"

Yu Feihong was a straightforward person and directly stated her purpose.

"Jiangnan, I heard that when you were filming the MV for 'Walking Nine Times on Zhongxiao East Road' in Taipei, you had a chat with Wang Zuxian, and the conversation was about her romantic experiences."

Then, you helped her write a song called "Can't Say Goodbye," which was supposedly sung by Leslie Cheung?

"That's right!"

This story about how one can elevate their social standing has long been known in the Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment circles, but it is still unknown in mainland China.

Jiangnan had regrets before, but now...

It seems to be working quite well; even Yu Feihong has come to visit us.

"Okay then!"

Jiangnan, I'd like to invite you to lunch, and then you can help me write a song. I want to give it to... I want to give it to my ex-boyfriend to sing. He wants to go to the South to become a singer.

What I want to tell you is our relationship story.

"No!"

Jiangnan refused very decisively.

"I can give you money. I've inquired. You write songs for your girlfriend Wang Fei, and each song is worth HK$1.6. I'll give you RMB2." Yu Feihong was truly determined.

Even though we've broken up, I still want you to remember me.

"It's not about the money!"

Jiangnan pointed behind Yu Feihong.

Yu Feihong turned her head and saw a dozen people walking towards her. Leading them were Hong Kong martial arts director Tsui Hark and well-known producer Shi Nansheng, each accompanied by a beautiful woman.

They are Wang Zuxian and Rosamund Kwan, respectively.

"I know you're filming, but that won't stop you from having lunch..."

Turning back, Yu Feihong was about to say something when she realized that Jiangnan had already disappeared.

.........

The red brick building, modeled after a Qing Dynasty guesthouse, has two floors.

The crew of "Arrogance" from Hong Kong was assigned to eight rooms on the east side. Xu Ke and Shi Nansheng shared a room, while Jiang Nan, Wang Zuxian, and Rosamund Kwan each had a room.

Cinematographer Liu Mantang, lighting technician Chen Weinian, assistant director Xu An, and makeup artist Chen Guoxiong stayed in four other rooms. As for the ordinary crew members from Hong Kong, they lived in the dormitory next to the guesthouse, four people to a room.

Although Jiangnan was staying in a single room, the conditions were quite basic.

The room is about ten square meters, with a wooden desk, wooden chair, old-fashioned wardrobe, single bed, thermos, and enamel basin.

There are no private bathrooms; the showers and toilets are all located in the common areas of the building.

Central heating in winter, ceiling fans in summer, no air conditioning…

"Mr. Jiang, that's enough!"

As Jiang Nan walked into room 206, he was looking around at the basic facilities when Huo Wenxi, quick and efficient, had already tidied up his bedding, hung his clothes in the wardrobe, and organized the toiletries in the bathroom.

"Thanks!"

Jiangnan was very satisfied with his assistant's performance. In this era, many compatriots from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan look down on mainlanders.

Even if some nouveau riche go shopping in Hong Kong and spend a fortune, the shop assistants will greet them with smiles on the surface, but as soon as they turn their backs, they will start cursing them as bumpkins.

Huo Wenxi, on the other hand, doesn't have this two-faced approach; she appears happy on the surface but curses behind people's backs.

"You're welcome, it's what I should do!" Huo Wenxi placed the rag on the windowsill and prepared to leave.

At Beijing International Airport, she received 2 RMB in cash from Jiangnan. This money was for their spending money, as well as her accommodation and food expenses.

Since there was no place to stay at the Beijing Film Studio, Huo Wenxi decided to find a hotel nearby, and Qin Chuan went to stay with her.

Jiangnan said that the capital was still a bit chaotic, so he suggested that Qin Chuan live nearby and could act as a bodyguard.

Just as Huo Wenxi was about to leave, Jiang Nan spoke up with a smile.

"Mani, do you want to make a lot of money?"

"Um…"

Upon hearing this, Huo Wenxi's heart tightened, and she instinctively hugged her chest.

"Mr. Jiang, we agreed that I would only be your assistant."

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing the beautiful woman's expression, Jiang Nan immediately flicked her forehead. Before she could react, he grabbed her hand and led her to the windowsill. Then, pointing to a fat man in the courtyard below, he said:

"You should know that fat guy, right?"

"I know him. He's Wang Jing, a very famous director from Hong Kong. His father, Wang Tianlin, is even more famous." Realizing she had misunderstood Jiang Nan, Huo Wenxi felt a little embarrassed, so she gently rubbed her head and said:

"But I know him, and he doesn't know me!"

"It's okay!"

It doesn't matter whether he knows you or not.

All you know is that there is a very famous producer in Taiwan named Yang Deng-kui, who gave this fat guy a budget of 1200 million and asked him to shoot a martial arts action film called "Shaolin Five Ancestors".

But Wang Jing encountered a problem: his target actor, Li Lianjie, yes, the one who's currently showing off his skills with a big gun downstairs, has lost all his prowess due to his indulgence in lust.

"If you don't believe me, just look at how he wields the spear. He's clumsy and awkward, lacking any of the demeanor of a martial arts master."

"Oh, ah..."

Jiangnan gave too much information at once, and Huo Wenxi felt she had to sort it out. What did it mean that Li Lianjie had lost all his sexual prowess? What did it mean that Yang Dengkui was going to make a movie?

However, Jiangnan simply didn't give her any time.

"Mani, remember this."

My salary for starring in "Nobody in My Eyes" was HK$120 million. I feel that with my martial arts skills, I have no problem starring in "Shaolin Five Ancestors".

You are my agent now, and you can totally sell me to Fatty, saying that while I'm filming "Arrogant," I can squeeze out a lot of time to film "Shaolin Five Ancestors."

If you succeed, I will pay you 20% of your salary, just like I paid Chen Jiaying and Qiu Likuan.

"Hiss..." Huo Wenxi gasped.

She understood part of what Jiangnan said.

The current market price for Jiangnan is HK$120 million. If I take a 20% commission, that's HK$24. Even after taxes, that's my entire income for last year.

"Mr. Jiang..."

"Um?"

"I think I could give it a try?"

Go!

Jiang Nan patted Huo Wenxi on the shoulder and watched her walk out of the room with her head held high.

That's right, Huo Wenxi at this time was not yet the person who would dominate the entertainment industry more than ten years later, but without nurturing, she would never become a talent.

"Slap slap slap..."

But just then, applause rang out at the door.

"Little brother, you have to treat me to lunch today to shut me up, or I'll tell Sister Nan that you're being greedy!"
