The North American internet is rife with undercurrents, so what is Zhang San doing?

He's preparing to film a TV series because he needs time to process those hundreds of billions of dollars and take some time to reflect, so he can fade out of the public eye.

As a powerful figure in the global entertainment industry, he naturally wields considerable influence. Last year, he arranged for the acquisition of the film and television adaptation rights to Ye Zi's original manga, "Hana Yori Dango." Since it was bought by Americans, they were naturally delighted, and the deal was sold for $200,000.

"We need to cast for this TV series. Boss, where are you planning to use actors from?" Producer Ho asked cautiously.

Although Zhang San was a once-wealthy man, he still dared not underestimate him.

"Our total investment in this TV series will reach 50 million Hong Kong dollars, or even more. The filming location will be in Hong Kong, and I will provide many venues." Zhang San answered irrelevantly, and then continued, "Since I've invested so much, of course I have to recoup my investment. We need actors from Taiwan, Hong Kong, and mainland China to sell the TV series better."

"The boss's idea is excellent. I'll go prepare right away." Producer He immediately understood the boss's intention.

Zhang San then said, "I also want to be involved in the casting of this lead actor."

Producer He immediately smiled, a meaningful look on his face, and said, "Understood, understood, boss."

The screenwriter had already finished writing the script, and Zhang San picked it up and started reading it; after buying the copyright, he had taken the screenwriter to see several scenes.

The villa in the script is Zhang San's Cloud Pavilion, Global Film City, and a prestigious private school in Hong Kong. In order to make this movie, he specially bought a French clothing brand, which will open in mainland China and Hong Kong. At the same time, all of Kou Chi's series will be integrated into this TV series.

There are also helicopters, sports cars, and all kinds of luxury cars. He has already sent applications to various brands around the world to inquire whether they want to sponsor them.

If they sponsor it, we can save a lot of money on car rentals.

Southern Dynasties and island nation automobiles were not among those seeking sponsorships, which later caused quite a stir, but that was another matter.

Mercedes-Benz is called Mercedes-Benz in Hong Kong. The local distributor was surprised to hear that the headquarters was going to sponsor a TV series. However, since it was a matter for the headquarters, they naturally had to contact them.

"We need two Mercedes-Benz cars, each worth millions, just enough to be used as transportation in TV dramas. We'll give the Mercedes-Benzes close-ups." Zhang San, the exporter, was explaining the purpose of the cars to a manager of the general agent in Hong Kong.

"Mr. Zhang, won't this damage the car brand image?"

"How could that be? A young master drives a sports car, takes a helicopter, and usually drives a Mercedes-Benz. Is there any problem with that?" Zhang San looked at him strangely, making the other man a little embarrassed.

"No problem, no problem."

The manager later learned from headquarters that the person in front of him had crashed and destroyed fifty luxury cars, worth fifty million US dollars each. This had severely damaged the brand image of these luxury cars. Although the other party did not earn much from the movie, it still made the brands very uncomfortable.

Now that they hear that they only need this luxury car to star in a TV series, they immediately agreed.

"And this Ferrari sports car, in four colors: red, blue, black, and white, for the four male leads to drive."

The general agent for Mercedes-Benz is also the general agent for Ferrari sports cars. When this was mentioned, the other party seemed a little uncomfortable. These four cars cost tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

"Once my TV series becomes a hit, won't it be better than your tens of millions of dollars? You'll make a profit, you know that?"

The manager was hit hard on the shoulder by Zhang San, almost breaking his shoulder, but seeing that Zhang San didn't use too much force, he didn't say anything.

After the deal was settled, he said, "What's this? Global cinemas will be closed for three days because of this TV series. Do you know how much you'll lose?"

"These four most expensive villas in Hong Kong will be used to film this TV series; this prestigious private secondary school will also be vacated for the purpose of filming this TV series."

"Now you know, right?"

"See that helicopter? It's the civilian version of the Black Hawk helicopter. Besides these, I also use private planes."

When the manager left, I felt much better. It was only a little over ten million. The headquarters was willing to sponsor it, and the expenses were paid by the headquarters. What did it have to do with him?

After he left, Zhang San also prepared to head north.

After saying goodbye to Zhou Huimin, Chai Xiaofen, Guan Meiren, and He Meitian over four days, he crossed the border from Shenzhen and headed north to Shanghai and Beijing to cast actors. Since the male and female leads were both student-oriented, they had to be selected from performing arts colleges.

When Zhang San arrived in Shanghai, he did not expect that after the news of Producer He's plan to film a TV series was released in mainland China, he would receive a lot of self-recommendations or recommendations from agencies.

"Why are there so many?"

Producer He said sheepishly, "People these days are all eager to seize opportunities."

"Okay, let me see." Zhang San took the letters, each with a photo attached, and began to sort through them.

With so many letters, sorting through them was naturally very troublesome. He first looked at the names, then the photos, and threw away the ones that didn't meet the requirements.

"Huh, this was sent in too? This is someone I know." Zhang San carefully put the photos and letter aside. He saw many of the celebrities and actresses who would later be called goddesses in the photos.

Putting all that aside for now, they continued with the selection process. Producer He, watching the boss select items so quickly, wondered if the boss was being too frivolous; the selection was happening way too fast.

He inwardly grumbled, "Is the boss judging people by their looks? This boss is a real womanizer!"

Zhang San had no idea that the producer he had chosen was secretly criticizing him, but it didn't matter. He didn't know that the producer still had his job.

"Keep these away for now. They may not be of much use, but they might come in handy if needed."

Zhang San's assistant stepped forward and collected the letters; he took out the selected ones and said, "Let these women come for interviews, and we'll reimburse their travel expenses."

Zhang San handed everything over to Producer He, instructing him to contact the actresses. As for whether he dared to engage in any underhanded tactics, Zhang San would naturally show him his methods.

He himself doesn't even have any unspoken rules, yet you, a subordinate employee, dare to act before your boss? Can't you tell the difference between the big and small kings?

The circle is chaotic, but it depends on the situation. If a big shot takes a liking to someone, the people below will naturally know what to do.
