The business floor on the second floor is crowded with young and beautiful girls, who are participating in the first round of casting for the big-budget film "Fast and Furious 3".
Although she is not a heroine, nor is she a second or third female lead with a lot of roles, she is mostly a marginal character with a few lines, an inconspicuous presence at the end of the cast, but she still attracts people.
Because this is the A-level commercial film of Marvel Entertainment, which is famous in Hollywood, and the popular series "Fast and Furious".
As long as you can squeeze into this important crew, it is a victory.
In the lobby on the first floor
The agents who followed these second- and third-rate female movie stars gathered here, sitting or standing. Some were making calls, some were browsing information, and some were looking around uneasily.
Not long after
A business car stopped at the hotel porch, and five or six people got out of the car. Among them was a short, fat guy with an arrogant expression, who was none other than the high-spirited Zeng Zhiwei.
With the arrival of Zeng Zhiwei, there was a commotion in the hotel.
The agents around him rushed forward, but were blocked by several assistants nearby, who protected Zeng Zhiwei in the middle and walked all the way to the second floor.
"Everyone please give way. If you have any questions, please contact the secretary. Those who are selected will naturally arrange a special time to talk to everyone. Those who are not selected should not crowd here."
"Borrow light, borrow light."
As soon as the group reached the stairs, they were blocked again by more than a dozen brokers.
"Mr. Vice President, I am Hunter, the agent of Morris Agency. I have made an appointment with you on the phone. This time Miss Aofina hopes to participate in the casting. Please give me a chance. She is a Disney child star and has rich experience.
A TV model with profound dancing skills..."
"Please take a look at Susanna, a Danish and South American mixed-race girl. She is 17 years old and has appeared in several low-budget films."
"Can you please wait a moment? I only need a minute to introduce Helen Elliott, who was very outstanding in the talent show. She has a voice of gold, angelic looks, and a great figure."
The brokers held introduction materials in their hands and squeezed in as hard as they could. The order became very chaotic.
A few assistants couldn't stop so many people, and a pair of hands came in with information and waved it. Zeng Zhiwei found that there were hands above his head, and it was so crowded that his face became very ugly;
"Have you made a mistake? The official casting has already begun. The information is being handed to me at this time. When will I do these secretarial jobs? It will be sent to the company according to the procedures. There will be a dedicated person to screen and select the suitable ones.
When a girl participates in the casting, get out of the way and don’t delay my affairs."
"It's too late for us to receive the news, please give it a chance."
"I'd like to reiterate again that casting has officially begun. All information will not be accepted. As a producer, I will not interfere with the work of the director team. You can wait for the next opportunity!"
Under Zeng Zhiwei's righteous scolding, the agent did not dare to make any mistakes and could only make way for them to pass.
Just walked a few steps upstairs
Zeng Zhiwei's sleeve was pulled, and a piece of information was stretched out from behind. The big photo at the top showed a beautiful mixed-race girl, showing the sunniest smile.
"Please take a look at Susanna. You should have some impression." An agent persisted in catching up.
The beautiful figure of a charming girl flashed through Zeng Zhiwei's mind. At a party not long ago, the two of them...
"Ahem! Collect this information." Zeng Zhiwei coughed twice and ordered the assistant next to him to collect it.
"Oh... please take another look at Helen Elliott. Her lips are very sexy. You will definitely be deeply impressed." The last agent successfully handed over the information, but it seemed to wake up something? Another information was stretched out from behind.
come over.
Zeng Zhiwei glanced quickly. The beautiful blond girl's lips in the photo were indeed very sexy. He was particularly impressed because in the bathroom...
"Okay, take this as well. You all must follow the procedures in the future and don't hand all the information to me. Marvel Entertainment is a formal large company. What does this look like?"
Finished
Zeng Zhiwei walked away, leaving a group of agents staring at each other and thinking carefully in their minds.
Just arrived on the second floor
Numerous beauties surrounded Zeng Zhiwei as if they were exploding, and immediately surrounded Zeng Zhiwei tightly. Several assistants took the opportunity to retreat, and did not continue to move forward.
Nothing unexpected
Zeng Zhiwei was caught in the turbulent waves around him, smiling so happily that his teeth were missing...
a moment later
Luxurious conference room
Zeng Zhiwei summoned the director, assistant director, music director, production director, photographer and prop team for a meeting, but the topics discussed were a bit ridiculous.
He gave an exaggerated scream and said;
“Wow, you want to go to the Caribbean?
The last time I filmed the location of "The Fast and the Furious", I lived in Cuba for more than two months. I was almost bitten to death by those tropical bugs. It was hot and humid, and the smell of sweat and hormones was everywhere.
What kind of things have you not eaten in that shabby place? What kind of sex have you never played? Thinking about it, it is enough, it is too boring.
Can we come up with something new?
For example, this time I went to Australia's Great Barrier Reef. After all, Australia's five-star hotels have better conditions. It's fun to stay and play. If you have nothing to do, you can rent a big yacht and go out on the sea to have fun. Or Hawaii, the sea is always the same.
.”
"President Zeng, besides Mexico, where can our crew go to shoot scenes?" the director retorted weakly.
"According to what you said, the story of "The Lord of the Rings" still takes place in the world of Middle-earth. Martin Freeman, who plays the dwarf, is 1.89 meters tall, so there is no way to film it. Movies are a magical art. The combination of light and shadow will happen.
It’s a wonderful thing, I believe you don’t need me to teach you this, okay?”
The director immediately had black lines in his head
In the last movie, "Fast and Furious 2", the hero and heroine escaped to Mexico and lived like a couple of gods in a seaside city.
Following the main line of the story, this sequel will definitely start in the Caribbean.
Where did the South American women's style come from in Australia, and where did the characteristic Mexican architecture come from? Could it be that we are bringing many South American actors to Australia? Are you going to have fun or shoot on location?
Do we need to change the script?
Movie fans are not fooled. Mexican regional style and Australian style are completely different things. Besides, the special effects blue screen is so expensive!
If he failed in this hit series, his career as a director would be over.
Ke Zengzhiwei is the vice president and production manager of Marvel Entertainment. He is also the producer of this film on behalf of the company. He is a hot shot in Hollywood and he cannot afford to offend.
But it must not be hard-topped, and it should be done slowly.
Thinking of this, the director kept his mouth shut and did not let go. Others looked at each other and did not speak. The venue fell into silence.
When Zeng Zhiwei saw that his proposal had not received a response, the director's face showed obvious dissatisfaction, as if he was preparing to resist softly, and a wave of bad breath immediately rushed to his head;
"Pujie, you can't make a movie if you leave the Caribbean. Can you use your brain? Is the props team a living person? You can hire people to build it. If that doesn't work, you can also do stunts. There are many ways..."
While he was showing off his lust, the door of the conference room was pushed open.
Huang Baiming and Chen Baixiang walked in one after another, followed by many people.
Zeng Zhiwei said with some dissatisfaction, "Oh... what kind of strong wind blew you here? I'm in the middle of a meeting with the crew, why don't you... go to the office first, I have the best French red wine there."
Huang Baiming looked at Zeng Zhiwei with complicated eyes, sighed and said, "Let's stop for a moment."
"how?"
Realizing that something was wrong, Zeng Zhiwei's expression changed slightly. He glanced at Chen Baixiang and looked behind him. There were white people, Chinese people, and even two black people who he didn't recognize.
"I'm afraid President Zeng doesn't know the situation yet. Let me introduce myself. I am Peter Lynch, a senior accountant. These are members of our joint investigation team, from the Royal Family Fund's Accounting Audit Department and Legal Department. Please cooperate with our investigation."
"Ah...this..."
Zeng Zhiwei's fat face, full of joy, suddenly turned white, and he turned his eyes to Huang Baiming in shock: "Brother Baiming, what's going on? Why is this happening?"
"Now that the matter is over, you'd better cooperate with the investigation team and put your work aside first."
"What did I do wrong? Did I make a mistake... You are going to drive away the cook after dinner. I will go to the chairman to sue you. This conspiracy will never succeed." Zeng Zhiwei still held on to his last hope.
"Why……"
Let out a long sigh.
"Don't you understand yet?" Huang Baiming said with a serious look; "The chairman has personally signed the document, suspending all your duties. The consortium has sent a joint investigation team to thoroughly investigate your problem. I hope you will cooperate with the investigation team and put it to the test.
You must explain clearly what you have done, otherwise no one will be able to save you."
"Pujie, I worked hard to make money for this company. I just drank a few bottles of wine and held a few parties. Do you want to make things like this? Brother Bai Ming, please help me, please.
!”
Zeng Zhiwei's heart fell into the abyss, but he still held on to the last glimmer of hope; "I am a senior executive of the company, and you have no right to treat me like this."
Peter Lynch smiled coldly; "We have senior licensed lawyers from the Legal Department here. If you don't cooperate, we will ask the prosecutor to formally participate and prosecute directly as a commercial crime. If things get to that point, there will be no room to look back.
, you have to weigh the gains and losses yourself."
"I...I want to contact a lawyer."
"Okay, this will save us trouble." Peter Lynch said to the staff around him; "Now call the Los Angeles District Attorney's Office. We have a serious commercial crime here. I hope they will send someone to take over it immediately. The company will take over the case."
Relevant verified evidence will be provided to the prosecutor."
Peter Lynch turned around and looked at Zeng Zhiwei, a cold light shot out of his eyes, and the words he spoke sent chills to the bones.
"Based on the evidence we currently have, you will be charged with corruption and bribery, using your power to blackmail others to provide financial benefits, misappropriation of public funds, dereliction of duty and breach of contract. If convicted, you will spend more than ten years in a felony prison.
time."
After hearing this, the expressions of Huang Baiming and Chen Baixiang who came with him changed drastically, and they were really frightened.
They didn't expect that the matter would turn out to be so serious, and that the consortium would directly take heavy action. While feeling sad, they reminded themselves to go back and sort it out quickly to see if they had made any mistakes.
"Weizai, do you want to make Chairman Lei Lei furious? Why don't you quickly explain the situation to the joint investigation team? Honestly explain your problems and how much money you spent on the company. Just pay it yourself. We will help you plead for mercy.
, don’t make a mistake!”
This sentence hit Zeng Zhiwei's heart like a heavy hammer. He could no longer stand and sat down, his whole body paralyzed.
Peter Lynch is a senior accountant and has served as the leader of the accounting audit team many times. He knows that it is easy to pry the opponent's mouth at this time, so the experienced opponent winked.
"We need a quiet place now without being disturbed."
