Huayu: From Prisoner to Movie King

Chapter 601 Take the initiative to seek peace?

Although the audition process was relatively short, it was almost noon after interviewing eleven girls.

"Let's go."

Xu Kun stood up first and said to Li Yixiang and Chen Sicheng with a smile, "Go and see what the price of your shares is."

Chen Sicheng immediately stood up.

Li Yixiang said helplessly: "Just let Jiang Yiyan make the decision on this matter. Why did you call me back from the Northeast?"

He has been experiencing life in Northeast China recently. If Jiang Yiyan hadn't called him, he would not have come back to host the final interview.

"You didn't sign the power of attorney beforehand. Without your consent as a shareholder, how can we reach an agreement?" Xu Kun put his arm around his shoulders and said with a smile, "Let's go, let's get things done as soon as possible so that you can return to Northeast China earlier."

As the three of them walked towards the elevator, Li Yixiang took the initiative to bring up the topic, saying, "So far, the best performers are Zheng Shuang, Jiang Shuying, Yuan Shanshan, and then there's Jin Chen from Beijing Dance Academy. With some training, he should be able to be used. The others either don't fit the roles or are too artificial."

Xu Kun nodded slightly. Among those people just now, Jiang Shuying and Yuan Shanshan had the most mature acting skills, while Zheng Shuang was more in line with the character's image and temperament. Although Jin Chen was also more in line with the character's temperament, his acting skills were obviously not as good as Zheng Shuang's.

It's a pity that Jiang Shuying has already graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, and her temperament makes her more suitable to play the older sister than the younger sister when standing next to Liu Yifei.

So Yuan Shanshan and Zheng Shuang are in the upper hand at the moment, and Jin Chen can barely be considered a backup - the filming will not start until October anyway, so Xu Kun plans to train all three first, and use whoever performs better in the end.

This is also a unique right of big directors. If you want to do this in a small crew, it depends on whether they are willing to cooperate.

Entering the elevator that the assistant had reserved in advance, Xu Kun asked Chen Sicheng, "Do you have any favorites?"

"Is this..."

Chen Sicheng hesitated and said, "These are all good, but I always feel that they lack that kind of shocking surprise."

"A shocking sense of surprise?"

Xu Kun shook his head and said, "Your standards are too high. Nowadays, when you turn on the TV, you see handsome men and beautiful women everywhere, not to mention all the retouched pictures on the Internet. The audience has long been somewhat aesthetically fatigued."

Chen Sicheng also knows that his request is a bit high, but this is his first time to take the lead in a work that he shoots, directs and acts in himself, so of course he hopes to make it as perfect as possible.

At this time, Li Yixiang suggested: "Why don't you go to the Northeast and find a Russian or mixed-race girl. I met a few of them when I was working and experiencing life in Jiamusi. They had blonde hair, blue eyes, and high noses. They were really stunning when I first saw them."

Chen Sicheng's eyes lit up, thinking that the one with blond hair and blue eyes would definitely not be suitable, but the slightly exotic facial features might really meet his needs.

At this time, the elevator arrived at the floor where the conference room was located.

As soon as the elevator door opened, Jiang Yiyan was seen standing at the elevator entrance with a smile on her face. When she saw several people coming out of the elevator, she looked back and raised her eyebrows and asked, "Didn't Yifei come up with you?"

Xu Kun ignored her and asked, "Have you negotiated the contract?"

"It's almost done. We still need to find a professional lawyer to go over the details." Jiang Yiyan said, turning to Li Yixiang and Chen Sicheng: "The exchange rate is only a little bit lower than the highest value we expected."

Chen Sicheng was overjoyed when he heard this, but Li Yixiang didn't care much. Instead, he asked again when he could return to Northeast China.

His whole heart is now devoted to "The Piano in a Factory", but he is not the most obsessed one. Ever since Baoqiang got the script of "Mr. Tree", he has been feeling a bit drunk and dreamy.

He had originally agreed to propose to Hu Die once the new house was almost renovated, but ended up delaying that matter - fortunately, Hu Die didn't pick on him, and instead thought that this was a sign of ambition.

At this time, brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei also rushed over after hearing the news. After a few pleasantries, Xu Kun suddenly realized that Chen Xuebin was missing. He couldn't help but wondered, "Where's Brother Chen? Wasn't he with you to discuss the contract?"

"Brother Chen left midway due to something."

Jiang Yiyan said, leaning close to Xu Kun's ear and whispering, "I don't know how that little celebrity he just dumped found her way to his house."

Tsk~
It turns out that men with families have weaknesses. For someone like Xu, even if a woman wants to block the door, he doesn't know who to find.

As the saying goes, it is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs. Xu Kun does not want to get involved in this matter for the time being unless Lao Chen takes the initiative to ask for help.

It was already this late, they must have a good get-together at noon. Wang Zhonglei had already made arrangements in advance. Just as everyone was discussing going to the restaurant, Jiang Yiyan quietly borrowed Huang Bin's cell phone and called Liu Yifei.

The phone rang several times before it was connected. After hearing Liu Yifei's slightly puzzled "Hello", Jiang Yiyan giggled and said, "It's me, Yifei."

"Ah? Hmm?" Liu Yifei's doubts only grew. After all, ever since the 'Four Evil Men' incident, she had never heard Jiang Yiyan speak in such an intimate tone again.

For a moment, Liu Yifei began to wonder if she had acted with too many people today and spent too much energy, which led to the auditory hallucinations.

"Why didn't you come up with Brother Kun?"

But Jiang Yiyan's voice continued to be heard in the receiver: "Are you still remembering the past and deliberately avoiding me? We were young and ignorant at that time, so we had a conflict. Now we are all Brother Kun's people, so there is no need to keep holding on to the past, right?"

She is...

Want to take the initiative to mend your relationship with yourself?
Liu Yifei finally confirmed that this was not an auditory hallucination, but she was even more confused. Why would Jiang Yiyan take the initiative to bow to her? Was it because Xu Kun put pressure on her?
In her opinion, only Xu Kun had the ability to make Jiang Yiyan bow her head on her own initiative.

But why did Xu Kun do this?

Just as he was puzzled, he heard Jiang Yiyan say again: "Let's get together at noon. The share exchange has been almost discussed. I will be a shareholder of Huayi in the future. While Brother Kun is here, I can talk to the two Mr. Wangs about your future arrangements. Don't worry, we are old classmates after all. I will definitely try my best to take care of you."

It was not until then that Liu Yifei finally understood something. The talk of reconciliation was all a cover. Jiang Yiyan's real purpose was to show off her superiority from a high position!

So she said coldly: "No need, if I am needed, Xu Kun will call me."

Jiang Yiyan immediately criticized him when she heard this: "Yifei, I have to say something to you. You were not like this when you followed Boss Chen before. Even if you don't call me Gan now... at least you should call me Brother Kun, right?"

"Beep beep..."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a dead tone from the other end of the phone.

Jiang Yiyan smiled disapprovingly, then returned to the crowd and returned the phone to Huang Bin.

…………

the other side.

Zheng Shuang returned to the Beijing Film Academy in a daze. Although she felt that her performance was not bad, at least she got Liu Yifei's role, she didn't know whether her performance was better or worse than others.

It’s all because of those two idiots from Beijing Dance Academy!
Zheng Shuang memorized Jin Chen and Li Yitong in a little notebook in his heart. It would be fine if he didn't run into them again. But if he did...

She pushed open the dormitory door with dissatisfaction and was immediately met with three pairs of inquiring eyes.

"Zheng Shuang."

Jing Tian asked first: "How is it going? Did the audition go well?"

"Okay."

Zheng Shuang still had to give some face to Jing Tian, ​​who had a strong background. While changing clothes, he said, "I think my performance was OK, but I don't know what Director Xu thinks."

"very nice."

Jing Tian's eyes were full of envy. If her family hadn't suddenly interfered, she might have directly won the female lead in "The Way of Heaven". Now she could only watch her roommate compete for it.

Another roommate encouraged her, "Zheng Shuang, you must seize this opportunity. If you become the next Jiang Yiyan, we can also benefit from your success."

"Jiang Yiyan?"

Zheng Shuang asked in confusion: "Why did you suddenly mention her?"

"Here!"

The roommate immediately took out his notebook and saw the latest news on the web page, which clearly stated that Nantianmen Studio and Huayi Brothers Films were about to exchange shares.

The accompanying picture is a photo of Wang Zhongjun and Jiang Yiyan shaking hands enthusiastically, and according to the author's speculation, this move may bring the valuation of Nantianmen Studio to hundreds of millions.

After reading this news, Zheng Shuang felt extremely anxious and thought to himself that if he could also reach this level, he would be willing to pay any price.

The problem is that she can't even reach Xu Kun right now. She can't just find some assistant director or casting director to have sex with, right? This isn't a game where you can beat it level by level!
