Chapter 37 The Future Billionaire Producer
.......
Casting for "The Banquet"?
Asking me for help isn't really a good idea.
This is a movie by Feng Xiaogang, I'm going to figure out what's going on.
Fang Yi was slightly taken aback, then chuckled.
I wonder what Wang Zhonglei is up to.
He didn't agree immediately, and looked at the other party involved.
Feng Xiaogang's eyes flashed, he hesitated, and cursed Wang Zhonglei for being nosy in his heart.
Zhong Lei, are you out of your mind?!
How do outsiders and the media view Lao Tzu's film project, which involved Fang Yi's assistance?
Do you think I, Lao Feng, am too weak to lift a knife?
But since Wang Zhonglei had spoken, Feng Xiaogang couldn't refuse him outright, even if he was dissatisfied, as it would affect the company's unity.
He forced a smile and agreed against his conscience.
"If Director Fang has time, it would be helpful for him to come and give me his opinion."
"Whenever I have free time, no matter how busy I am, I will make time to learn from Director Feng and how to shoot blockbusters."
Fang Yi then agreed, offering a few flattering words with a smile.
His grandma's.
Even Feng Dapao has met his end, coming to me for help.
However, [The Banquet] is destined to be a flop, so I can't get too involved. I need to get out of there as soon as I've chosen my role.
While Fang Yi was pleased, he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Director Feng, when do you plan to start filming?"
This is a question that everyone present wants to know.
Feng Xiaogang had been waiting for this moment; his chance to show off had finally arrived.
He smiled slightly, faced the gazes of the crowd, and slowly recited two lines of poetry.
"When autumn comes on the ninth day of the ninth month, my flowers will bloom and all others will wither!"
"【The Banquet】filming will officially begin on September 9th!"
Depend on..
You'll die if you don't brag!
Everyone was speechless, staring at Feng Xiaogang's arrogant demeanor, almost suffering from severe embarrassment.
We're all on the same side, everyone knows each other!
Next, Feng Xiaogang opened the documents and distributed several labeled actor lists to everyone.
Hua Yi will send notifications to the key celebrities and artists he has highlighted, inviting them to audition for "The Banquet".
......
The meeting lasted until 11:00 a.m.
Before leaving Huayi, Fang Yi and Feng Xiaogang went to Wang Zhongjun's office and each picked up an invitation letter.
The three agreed to go to the optoelectronics company together the next day.
Wang Zhongjun specifically instructed that neither of them should drive tomorrow; they should ride in his Rolls-Royce.
Another pretentious show-off.
Holding the invitation letter sent to him separately by Optoelectronics, Fang Yi walked out of Huayi Office Building complaining all the way.
After leaving Huayi, he first found a restaurant to fill his stomach.
At 2 PM, I drove to the nearby Yi Dong Ren Xin Studio.
Eighteenth floor.
The doors of "Easy to Move People" are wide open. Li Wenfang, the receptionist, is learning from her senior colleagues and leisurely listening to music with her headphones on.
She didn't even know what song she was listening to until Fang Yi came right in front of her, which snapped her out of her reverie.
"Oh...Mr. Fang."
Li Wenfang quickly stood up and greeted them, her face flushed.
"It's okay. Our company doesn't have much business. If you're bored sitting at the front desk by yourself, you can listen to music or play games."
Fang Yi smiled, showing tolerance and not caring whether the receptionist was working diligently.
For the receptionist, as long as her appearance is acceptable, that's fine.
He pointed to Li Wenfang's headphones and shared his paddling tips.
"Don't listen with headphones, just play it out loud, that way you'll know immediately if someone comes."
"Oh, thank you, Mr. Fang."
Li Wenfang breathed a sigh of relief and quickly took off her headphones.
After taking off my headphones, I could clearly hear footsteps in the hallway outside.
It won't affect my work, and I can listen to music legitimately.
Beautiful!
She gave Fang Yi a sweet smile, thinking to herself how kind her boss was, not only not scolding her but also teaching her the secret to being lazy.
Then, as if remembering something, she said crisply, "President Fang, Director Lin said someone will be coming for an interview this afternoon."
"I understand, you go ahead with your work."
Fang Yi waved and walked into the studio.
Inside, the other employees were all at their respective posts, and they all stood up to greet him when he came in.
"Mr. Fang."
"Mr. Fang, you've arrived."
Fang Yi told them to ignore him and go directly to the general manager's office.
Sitting in his chair, he looked around and noticed something was missing.
"Mr. Fang, please have some tea!"
The newly appointed office director, Lin Yi, knocked on the door and came in with a cup of hot tea.
This tea isn't cheap; it's a good tea she brought from home.
When the company was newly established, Fang Yi asked her to buy a few cans of tea, but she felt they were not good and could only be used to entertain ordinary clients.
"Thank you. When is your friend Chen Zhixi coming?"
Fang Yi picked up the teacup, gently blew on it, and a unique tea aroma entered his body through his nose.
He touched the tea with his lips, the aroma lingering on his teeth, a sweet and refreshing feeling.
Fine tea!
I don't know where Lin Yi bought it; I'll ask her to buy more next time.
"Mr. Fang, Sister Chen will be here at 2:30."
"They should be here soon."
Lin Yi had been observing Fang Yi's expression, and seeing that he was very satisfied with the tea, she couldn't help but smile brightly.
It wasn't for nothing that she stole the old man's tea leaves.
Fang Yi took several sips of tea, put down the teacup, and said, "Let me take a look at her information first."
"Everything's ready, it's all here."
Lin Yi took a small step forward, took a document from a stack of files on the office floor, and handed it to him.
"Don't stand, sit down!"
Fang Yi opened the file, smiled, pointed to the chair in front of the desk, and was very satisfied with her work enthusiasm.
The young woman is hardworking. She may have had ulterior motives regarding Chen Zhixi, but it's not a big problem.
……
Chen Zhixi graduated from the Central Academy of Drama with a bachelor's degree in acting.
In his junior year of college, he rose to fame with "Walking Out of the Blue River," a film he co-starred in with Si Qinggaowa.
Subsequently, Chen Zhixi portrayed distinctive characters in many film and television works until she transitioned to producing in 2010.
In 2012, he produced the film "Lost in Thailand," and was praised by the media as the highest-earning producer.
From that moment on, there was no stopping it!
From 2015 to 2016, Chen Zhixi shone brightly in the film production industry, and was known in the industry as a "producer worth billions".
Crucially, she's also a stunning beauty!
Fang Yi quickly browsed through Chen Zhixi's current information and waited for her to come to him.
.......
2:25 PM.
Chen Zhixi, dressed in a black business suit, entered Fang Yi's office under the guidance of Lin Yi.
Born in 1982, she is 23 years old this year. Her brief experience in the entertainment industry has allowed her to shine with captivating charm.
With her long, flowing hair, excellent looks and temperament, and a beautiful figure perfectly showcased in her black outfit.
Having seen so many TikTokers in his previous life, Fang Yi couldn't help but marvel at Chen Zhixi's charm.
Female celebrities in the entertainment industry, when they switch careers, are like a force to be reckoned with, aren't they?
"Hello, Mr. Fang."
"Ms. Chen, hello, please have a seat."
They greeted each other, and Fang Yi gestured for her to sit down.
Then, he got straight to the point: "Ms. Chen, your performance in 'The Great Song Dynasty Forensic Examiner' this year achieved impressive ratings on CCTV, and your acting career is on the rise. Why do you want to switch to behind-the-scenes work?"
Chen Zhixi remained calm, sitting upright in her chair, showing no surprise at Fang Yi's directness.
She is no ordinary person; from the moment she decided to move behind the scenes, she was fully prepared.
"The entertainment industry is so dirty!"
"Under the spotlight, jackals roam the land, and the scene is utterly absurd."
"To be honest, Mr. Fang, since entering the entertainment industry, although I have not personally encountered any shameful or outrageous things, I have seen or heard of more than one case on film sets."
"Switching to behind-the-scenes work will allow me to utilize my expertise while avoiding the messy and corrupt practices within the industry."
"Let whoever wants to be a celebrity, I, Chen Zhixi, am no longer going to be one."
Chen Zhixi’s voice was cold and unreserved as she exposed the bad habits and vices within the entertainment circle.
Having graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, she believed that her expertise would allow her to make a name for herself in the film production industry.
She raised her head slightly, gazing into Fang Yi's eyes. While admiring his youthful good looks and overflowing talent, she couldn't help but feel a unique sense of heroism.
Fang Yi can do it, and so can she.
Of course they do!
Fang Yi did not indulge her boldness; instead, he revealed a hint of sarcasm.
"Don't brag."
"Tell me the truth, have you encountered any unspoken rules or unfair treatment?"
"You couldn't handle the other person, so you had no choice but to change careers?"
