After the audition for the hostess selection, several people present who were in charge of the interview gave their opinions.
Several department managers spoke first and basically voted for the two first-line actresses. Even Hu Rui, the artist department manager, also voted for one of them.
Only Xu Wei, the manager of the planning department, voted for Zhang Yuxi. He also gave his reasons, which was that compared to the other two, the salary was lower, his acting skills were top-notch, and his appearance was good.
After several department managers expressed their opinions, it was the turn of the three female executives of the company, Sun Wulu, and Zhao Guoqing, the company's art director.
Zhao Guoqing first stated that based on his understanding and impression of the heroine of the script, among the three, Zhang Yuxi's personal appearance is undoubtedly more suitable in terms of character compatibility. In addition, compared to the other two, the salary is lower.
But in terms of acting skills, Zhang Yuxi is the worst, and relatively speaking, her reputation is also the weakest.
Each of these three has advantages and disadvantages, but after comprehensive weighing, he felt that he should choose Zhang Yuxi.
Zhao Guoqing, as the company's artistic director, made such a statement, and Sun Xiaorui also echoed: "I also think Zhang Yuxi is the most suitable. Her acting skills may not be as good as the other two, but she is the most beautiful and fits the role of the heroine.
The degree is relatively high, and the pay is also the lowest.”
After the remaining Wu Mengting and Lu Sijia looked at each other, Wu Mengting motioned for her to speak first. Lu Sijia was not polite and said directly: "As Director Zhao said, the three of them each have their own advantages and disadvantages. If we choose one of the three, I will
Personally, I am also inclined to choose Zhang Yuxi." At this point, she glanced at Chen Feng, who was sitting in the middle, paused briefly, and continued, "But in my opinion, Zhang Yuxi is not the most suitable, so let's take another look.
Just wait a little longer. Let’s look around and send audition invitations to a few other actresses.”
Wu Mengting also looked at Chen Feng at this time and asked: "Boss, what do you think?"
Chen Feng thought for a while and said: "I think Zhang Yuxi is quite good, with the best value for money and good acting skills. I think I can give her a chance. In addition, I will not hide it from everyone, her agent has contacted me privately,
She is personally willing to invest in shares with her salary, and we can discuss the specific share. I think you can give her priority."
The idea of investing in shares with the salary from the film was last night when Chen Feng and Zhang Yuxi were discussing the script, and Zhang Yuxi took the initiative. The reason was not only that she really wanted to get the heroine role, but also that she was very optimistic that this drama would be a hit in the future.
If it were someone else, Chen Feng might not be very willing to let her take a shareholding, but at that time, Chen Feng had already communicated with her in depth and felt that she was really sincere, so he agreed.
Of course, he had also been vaccinated in advance. Although he was the boss of the company, the real ones in charge of the company now were not him, but Lu Sijia and Wu Mengting. If they objected, he, the boss, could not do anything.
Zhang Yuxi was quite sensible and nodded to express her understanding of Chen Feng's difficulties.
What Chen Feng said now undoubtedly means that he has chosen Zhang Yuxi. Lu Sijia, Wu Mengting, and Sun Xiaorui were not surprised by this.
However, Lu Sijia still insisted: "I think we can wait a little longer. After all, we have only auditioned three people now. We need to audition at least three more people before comprehensive consideration and selection."
Chen Feng glanced at Lu Sijia and nodded: "Okay. Then just wait."
Wu Mengting did not express her position. Obviously she was not very satisfied with Zhang Yuxi.
Chen Feng didn't want to be too obvious, lest people suspect that he was having an affair with Zhang Yuxi.
After the audition for the heroine here was over, Chen Feng was too lazy to stay in the company. Chen Feng was too lazy to take care of other casting tasks, including the male lead, and left them all to Lu Sijia and Wu Mengting for full control and decision-making.
After he came out of the company, he immediately went to the hotel room where Zhang Yuxi was staying, which was quite close to their company.
Zhang Yuxi had made an appointment with him last night to meet again after the audition today. She also sent away the assistants and managers who were following her early with a wink.
"Brother Feng, what did they say?"
As soon as Chen Feng entered the room, Zhang Yuxi hurriedly came over to ask, with a look of nervousness and expectation.
It’s no wonder she is like this. Her fame has been declining in the past two or three years. Originally, her main focus was her singing career, but the record industry is now in a slump. Last year, she finally released a new album, but the sales were not as good as before.
I can only rely on some advertising endorsements, commercial performances, occasional appearances on TV, and participation in some TV station entertainment programs to maintain my popularity.
But generally speaking, she has been resting on her laurels in the past two or three years.
She had also entered the entertainment industry before. With the support of her contract company, she also starred in a costume drama and achieved pretty good results.
However, her acting skills at the time were indeed not very good, and the contract company had limited resources, so some of her acting resources were transferred to other female artists in the company, and she was no longer promoted.
Although some film crews outside the company also invited her to film, but either someone wanted to cast her, or the script was too bad, or it was just a second and third female role with a broken personality, so of course she couldn't be willing.
Therefore, her acting career was interrupted.
Now Fengmang Film and Television has suddenly emerged. Not long after its establishment, it launched the hit drama "Heshan Order", and another urban drama it has just completed is also going to be broadcast on stars, which has attracted widespread attention in the industry.
Now that Fengmang Film and Television is about to launch a large-scale production, it naturally attracts the attention of many artists including Zhang Yuxi.
Zhang Yuxi urgently needs to take off in acting and take her fame to the next level.
"Among the three of you, the main executives of the company are still inclined to choose you. But Lu Sijia is not very satisfied with you yet. In addition, she has also sent audition invitations to several other first-line actresses. She will definitely wait until they have auditioned.
It’s up to you to decide.”
Hearing Chen Feng's statement, Zhang Yuxi was a little disappointed, but she immediately stepped forward to hold his arm and asked with a smile: "Then you, the boss, have expressed your stance? Have you told them what I said last night about buying shares with remuneration?"
?”
"Of course, I have expressed my support for you. I have also mentioned your investment in shares with your salary. If there are no accidents, I am still the most optimistic about you."
"What did Meng Ting say?"
"Well...she didn't express her opinion, but I think among the three people who auditioned today, she still likes you the most."
"That...that's good. When you go back, say another nice word in front of her for me."
"Don't worry. I will definitely try my best to help you get it. When the next actresses come to audition, I will definitely help you reject them."
Chen Feng didn't say such a big deal last night. The main reason was that he couldn't be sure of her acting skills last night, but he was sure of her acting skills today. In addition, coupled with their friendship and even the remuneration of the film, who would he choose if he didn't choose her?
"Brother Feng, you are so kind."
After hearing Chen Feng's words, Zhang Yuxi was naturally elated and immediately offered him a sweet kiss.
Chen Feng stayed in the hotel until 12 noon before leaving. It wasn't that he didn't want to have lunch with her, but it was just not very convenient to be in the hotel. After all, she was now a quasi-A-list female star.
When he returned to Hongshu Bay, neither of the two girls came back for dinner. The main reason was that the company was too busy with auditions and casting, and they couldn't leave.
Chen Feng had eaten lunch prepared by Sister Xue alone at home. He had just sat on the sofa in the living room and watched TV for a while when he received a call from Yang Ziying.
Chen Feng and her met when they were in Austria. Chen Feng even helped her, and then the two exchanged contact information.
It’s just that Chen Feng was still unknown at that time and was just a fan of hers. After that meeting, the two never contacted each other again.
Unexpectedly, Yang Ziying suddenly called him now. After Chen Feng made a little guess, he knew that her identity as the boss of Fengliang Film and Television should be known to her.
Sure enough, as soon as Chen Feng was connected, Yang Ziying smiled and asked: "Is it Chen Feng, Boss Chen?"
"I'm Chen Feng, Sister Yang. What's wrong with you calling me suddenly?"
Regarding Yang Ziying, a domestic first-line star, Chen Feng has always had a relatively stable mentality. After all, we are all human beings, not to mention that he is now the boss of a film and television company. Facing a big star like her, Chen Feng is still very confident.
.
"Chen Feng, it's so hard for you to hide this from me. If I hadn't happened to know today that you are the boss of Fengmang Film and Television, I would still have been kept in the dark by you."
Yang Ziying came up to her so directly, which made Chen Feng frown slightly. To be honest, the two of them were not very close. Although they had some friendship in Austria, it was him who helped her, not the other way around.
Of course, Chen Feng didn't like her tone of questioning now. Of course, he also knew that this should be the reason why the other party wanted to get closer to him, so he wasn't really angry. He just said lightly: "Yang
Sister, I didn’t hide anything from you on purpose. When I first met you, Fengmang Film and Television hadn’t even been established yet.”
"Haha, what I'm talking about is that your company invited me to star in the movie "The Sapphire Case" this time. You, the boss, didn't contact me. You just asked your company's general manager to contact me. You didn't mean to hide it from me and put me in trouble.
Don’t you want to be a friend? I’m very sad, how are you going to compensate me?”
This is really...
A big star, and she is also a woman, asks you for compensation like a baby, what should you do?
"I... I'll treat you to dinner next time. When you come to Xiuzhou."
Chen Feng was caught by her, so it was hard to deny it, so he could only be so perfunctory. He could completely ignore her, but she was a big star after all, and it was not good to offend her. And to be honest, a big star would bring her down.
Your figure and your coquettish talk are enough to give him face.
The other party gave him face, so of course Chen Feng had to give the other party face.
"Well, you can treat me to dinner today. I'm in Xiuzhou now. What do you think of the evening? You can choose the location. I can do it."
When Chen Feng heard what she said, he immediately felt like he was being tricked. As expected, none of the female fairies in the entertainment industry are energy-efficient.
It took just a few words to lure him in.
This has been said, and it is not impossible for Chen Feng to regret it now, but it will definitely be very embarrassing, and both of them will lose face.
He is a face-saving person.
Therefore, Chen Feng immediately pretended to be bold and said: "Okay. It's a food stall on Yongchang Road. What do you think?"
Yang Ziying chuckled and said, "Okay. If you really invite me to eat at a food stall, I will definitely accompany you."
Chen Feng had no idea. After so many years in the entertainment industry, it was really difficult for Chen Feng to be able to reach the top position he has today.
"Just kidding. I'll invite you to a private restaurant, Wenhuaju, at seven o'clock tonight. What do you think?"
"Okay, guest or hostess, I'm free this afternoon and evening."
"Okay, then it's settled. I'll send you the address later."
"Okay. See you tonight."
…
After hanging up the phone, Chen Feng secretly shook his head. This woman is really... able to bend and stretch, and her emotional intelligence is very high.
Needless to say, the reason why she took the initiative to come to Xiuzhou and had dinner together this time was definitely because of "The Sapphire Case". In addition, of course she also wanted to formally make acquaintance with Chen Feng, the boss of Sharp Film and Television.
In the past, Chen Feng was just a passerby, at most a fan with some money. Even though the two exchanged contact information, they never contacted each other again after parting ways.
Of course, what Chen Feng didn't know was that she had some changes in her career and relationship some time ago, which made her exhausted physically and mentally, and she was not interested in anything, so of course she didn't think of taking the initiative to contact him, who had money and connections.
fans.
It was only recently that she regained her energy and planned to start working again. It was because "The Sapphire Case" gave her the idea of contacting and contacting Chen Feng again.
At 6:30 in the evening, Chen Feng brought Sun Xiaorui and Wu Mengting to Wenhua Residence. Not long after, Yang Ziying also brought her manager Hao Xiaolian to the appointment.
After the two parties met and exchanged friendly greetings, they went to sit down in the private room and after ordering the food, Hao Xiaolian, who was a girl and a boy, looked at Chen Feng and said with admiration: "Chen Feng, you are really impressive. When you contacted me to buy a film and television company, I thought
You were just playing for fun, and you didn’t think you would achieve any results. Unexpectedly, you really did achieve results, which gave us people in the industry a big surprise."
"This is really not my achievement. I just found and used the right people. Now the main person in my company is Lu Sijia, and the two of them help me manage it. They usually don't go to my company."
Hao Xiaolian shook her head and said: "This is your brilliance and power. As a boss like you, you not only work hard on yourself, but also hire the right people to make the company prosperous. Most people really can't do that."
This seems to be true.
I have to say that Hao Xiaolian's flattery made Chen Feng feel very comfortable.
Soon after, the various dishes ordered were served. Everyone was chatting while eating, and the atmosphere was lively. Yang Ziying, Wu Mengting, and Sun Xiaorui were talking and laughing like ordinary best friends. From time to time, they laughed together.
They were talking happily.
After the food was served, everyone had almost eaten. Hao Xiaolian started talking about the business: "Before, we really didn't know that Fengmang Film and Television was your company, Chen Feng. When we found out later, we contacted you immediately. In fact, as long as you are Chen Feng,
Call me or Xiaoying, and we will definitely agree to let you star in "The Sapphire Case", and the salary will not be that high. Now I have discussed it with Xiaoying and decided to star in this drama with 20 million, and I am willing to do so.
What do you think of using 20 million to invest in this drama?"
