After being reborn, I'm no longer going to play the role of a spoiled rich kid.

Chapter 153 Startup Bonus

This was the first drama that You Sijia had seriously worked on, so she went to the set on the day filming started.

Previously, Tangcheng Pictures had given Wei Ning a lot of publicity, and the male lead of the youth idol drama that Wei Ning was working with was also a popular leading man.

Popular celebrities naturally bring their own buzz, and Wei Ning had already accumulated a considerable number of followers on his personal social media accounts before signing with Tangcheng Pictures. Therefore, on the very day filming began, "Youth Handbook" immediately became a trending topic.

Yu Sijia made a low-key appearance at the start of filming. She is the boss of the company, but not a producer or anything, and she didn't want to join the actors in the fun.

She sat in the car, watching the host start the show not far away, followed by a speech from the original author, then from the director and others. Before the ceremony of paying respects to the four directions and offering incense could even begin, Yu Sijia's phone suddenly rang.

She looked down and saw that it was Meng Weiyuan calling, which surprised You Sijia.

"What happened?" Yusjia answered the phone and asked immediately.

It was during working hours, and Meng Weiyuan was usually very busy at the company, so he didn't have any free time to call himself.

Meng Weiyuan, who had just heard You Sijia ask this question as soon as she answered the phone, couldn't help but reflect on what kind of person he was in his wife's eyes. Why did You Sijia think something was wrong as soon as she called? Couldn't the couple have some casual chats?

"Is today the day you chose the script for the start of filming?" Meng Weiyuan asked.

Yuska nodded and hummed in agreement.

She was a little confused, as she remembered that she hadn't talked to Meng Weiyuan about work yesterday.

In fact, Meng Weiyuan didn't seem worried that this was her first time managing a company. He didn't interfere much, only offering answers when she encountered trouble and asked him questions. Otherwise, he wouldn't intervene.

This actually pleased Yuska.

"Will they give out red envelopes at the opening ceremony? Take a look at the trunk," Meng Weiyuan said.

Early this morning, Meng Weiyuan left Beijing to attend some kind of meeting in Haicheng. You Sijia drove herself to the company.

Hearing Meng Weiyuan's words, You Sijia opened the car door and got out.

After hearing the clicking sound of high heels from the other end of the phone, Meng Weiyuan asked, "Did you see that?"

Yusjia had already opened the trunk, and in her line of sight, there was a large cardboard box inside, filled with red envelopes.

Moreover, the red envelope was clearly custom-made.

It not only has the character "尤" on it, but also a cute cartoon avatar.

Yuska asked in surprise, "When did you prepare this? Why didn't you tell me?"

Meng Weiyuan's laughter came from the other end of the phone, "If I told you, would it still be a surprise?"

Yu Sijia smiled, pursing her lips, "Since President Meng put out so many red envelopes, are there anything inside?"

Recently, many film crews have been trying to save money by not giving out 50-yuan red envelopes; some have even put a 2-yuan lottery ticket inside.

Whether one can become successful depends entirely on personal luck.

Yusjia wasn't that stingy; she followed the movie's standard and put 188 yuan in each red envelope.

When Meng Weiyuan heard You Sijia's words, he almost laughed out of anger.

Is your husband such a stingy person?

How could I not give her a red envelope? Should I just send her an empty envelope?

"Open it and take a look," Meng Weiyuan said.

Even without him saying it, You Sijia would definitely open the red envelope. President Meng was indeed not stingy, but he didn't cause too much trouble for the company's finance department either, and simply put two hundred yuan in each red envelope.

"So many!" Yustia said with a smile, clearly very satisfied.

Even if the money wasn't for her, it was Meng Weiyuan saving face for himself.

"I'll pick you up for dinner tonight," Meng Weiyuan said. "May the project start smoothly."

After Yusjia ended the call, she called her secretary, who quickly came running over from the film set.

"Mr. You wanted to see me?"

Yu Sijia's secretary is a woman in her early thirties who has worked at Tenglong Film and Television for several years. She is called Sister Fan. She is very efficient and meticulous in her work.

Yu Sijia pointed to the red envelopes in the trunk, "Please have Sister Fan distribute these red envelopes to people later."

Sister Fan was surprised, "Didn't President You already instruct the finance department to prepare a box of red envelopes?"

She personally brought those red envelopes to the set this morning, so how come her boss suddenly produced a whole box of red envelopes?
Yu Sijia said somewhat helplessly, "It's okay, the red envelopes in this box don't need to go through the company's finance department, consider it my personal investment."

Sister Fan was only surprised for a moment, after all, ever since You Sijia came to the company, their company's budget had been much more abundant than before. Moreover, based on her observations over this period, their current boss was indeed not short of money.

She is capable of doing something like distributing red envelopes twice on short notice.

"Okay." Sister Fan nodded quickly. "I'll make the arrangements."

The moment she picked up the box, Sister Fan couldn't help but turn back and ask, "Should we have the PR team handle this?"

"Ok?"

Sister Fan: "Today, Tangcheng Pictures' 'Youth Handbook' also started filming. They held a live broadcast to mark the start of filming. Because it features some well-known celebrities, 'Youth Handbook' is trending on several social media platforms. We haven't made any moves yet."

If there's a red envelope gimmick involved, Sister Fan thinks the PR team definitely knows how to make this topic the hottest.

Yuska thought for a moment and then refused outright.

"No need."

It's not like it costs much money.

She was too embarrassed to show off a red envelope that only contained two hundred yuan.

However, the cast and crew of "Glory" still made it to the trending topics.

It wasn't that the people below were outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, ignoring You Sijia's wishes to create buzz; rather, it was that some logistics staff in the production crew posted photos of their red envelopes online.

"I've been in the industry for almost ten years, but this is the first time I've met such generous bosses!!! Look! Three big red envelopes! Two were from our boss, totaling nearly four hundred yuan, and the other was from the original author! It's a whopping one hundred and eighty-eight yuan! There are also a few smaller red envelopes from the lead actors. Wow! The red envelopes I received today are more than my daily wage!"

Once this Weibo post was published, anything related to money, especially money for ordinary people, easily attracted attention. Moreover, most of the people who followed the staff who posted the Weibo were also people working in the film and television industry.

"Wow! That's a really big red envelope! I'm so sad, I only got sixty yuan in the startup red envelope last month, which was the sum of three red envelopes."

"My goodness, our film crew only gets a 200 yuan red envelope. Xiaoman, didn't you join the web series crew?"

"Really? Which film crew is this extravagant?!"

"It seems like Tangcheng Pictures started filming today? I heard their female lead is a genuine rich second-generation? Apparently, even more powerful than Chunzi's family. Could the blogger be in this production?"
