I am a historical film director in the entertainment industry.

Chapter 130 Ning Hao and Xing Aina Join the Company
"Although you are the female lead, this movie is mostly male-dominated, so you won't have many scenes. I need to make that clear to you first."

Hearing Ning Hao's words, Wang Zhi didn't care at all. Instead, she excitedly said, "It's okay, thank you, Director Ning. I accept."

Others might never get a leading role in their entire lives, so what's there for her to be picky about?

Upon seeing that Wang Zhi had agreed to act, Cheng Sheng and Ning Hao exchanged a smile.

Ask Wang Zhi to leave her contact number, and tell her that you will contact her to come and sign the contract after the script is revised, and then give her the script.

When Wang Zhi left the conference room, her face was full of smiles, and her big eyes almost disappeared from smiling.

"Congratulations, Zhizhi," Da Tiantian sincerely congratulated her.

"Sweetie, I also want to thank you this time. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had such good luck," Wang Zhi said, holding her best friend's hand.

She was absolutely right. If it weren't for Jing Tian's poor horsemanship, she wouldn't have caught Director Cheng Sheng's eye, let alone been recommended by him to play the female lead in Ning Hao's new movie.

"Wang Zhi, why did Director Cheng call you in?"

At this moment, Bai Baihe walked over and asked curiously.

"Director Cheng recommended Zhizhi to play the female lead in director Ning Hao's new film."

Before Wang Zhi could answer, Da Tiantian blurted it out.

Upon hearing this, Bai Baihe's eyes revealed a look of envy and jealousy.

She's not like Wang Zhi; she doesn't know Ning Hao at all.

Ning Hao has recently become a darling of media reporters.

Ning was so successful in winning awards that the media gave him a lot of publicity in the newspapers, saying that he would definitely become a great director in the future.

Bai Baihe, who has been following the film and television industry, also knew about Ning Hao.

Now that Ning Hao has cast Wang Zhi as the lead actress in his new movie, it's no wonder she's envious and jealous.

It's worth noting that she became quite popular online for a while thanks to her role as Pingyang Zhao.

As a result, she received many film and television opportunities, and Huayi Brothers even contacted her, wanting to sign her.

She wanted better terms, so she kept delaying and didn't immediately agree to sign with Huayi.

Some time ago, news broke that Wang Jinhua had left Huayi Brothers and taken a group of artists with her, which made Bai Baihe, who had not yet agreed to sign with Huayi, feel extremely fortunate.

If she had signed with Huayi Brothers at the time, she would probably have been involved in this incident, which would have been very detrimental to her future acting career.

But now Wang Zhi is playing leading roles, while she can only get supporting roles, which makes her somewhat resentful.

In the conference room.

Cheng Sheng finally produced a 'surprise'.

Ning Hao was overjoyed as she looked at the script for "Buried Alive" in her hand.

He never expected that the 'surprise' Cheng Sheng mentioned would actually be a script.

"Director Cheng, you really want me to direct this film, 'Buried Alive'?" Ning Hao asked incredulously.

Keep in mind that this was a script written by Cheng Sheng.

In today's entertainment industry, everyone knows how amazing Cheng Sheng's scripts are.

Many directors probably dream of having Cheng Sheng write a script for them.

“This is indeed a surprise for you, Director Ning. You know I’ve started a personal studio, and I’m now formally inviting you to join. What do you say?” Cheng Sheng said.

"Buried Alive" was Cheng Sheng's first film project, but because of the simulation panel, he decided not to make it.

However, in order to get Ning Hao to join his studio, Cheng Sheng rewrote the script for "Buried Alive" as a bargaining chip to invite Ning Hao to join.

“If I don’t join, does that mean I can’t direct this movie?” Ning Hao asked seriously.

Although Ning hadn't seen the script, he believed in Cheng Sheng's ability to write it.

“No, even if you don’t join, I will still let you direct this movie, but I will only give you the director’s fee, not a share of the profits,” Cheng Sheng said solemnly.

Bonuses! Ning Hao's eyes lit up; this was a perk that very few directors could receive.

Directors usually only receive a salary.

Ning Hao didn't agree immediately, but instead looked at Xing Aina.

Xing Aina thought for a moment and said, "Director Cheng, if Ning Hao joins your personal studio, will he be able to take on outside roles?"

"Of course, Director Ning is just signed to my company as a director, not sold into servitude. As long as he completes the company's filming work, I have no reason to object to him taking on outside roles," Cheng Sheng said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Ning Hao and Xing Aina exchanged another glance, revealing that they had already made their decision.

Signing a director's contract is a good thing for Ning Hao.

"Okay, boss, I'll have to rely on you from now on."

Ning Hao smiled and shook hands with Cheng Sheng.

"You are welcome to join us."

Cheng Sheng said with a smile.

"Xing Aina, my company is short of a manager. Would you like to give it a try?"

After bringing Ning Hao into the network, Cheng Sheng set his sights on Xing Aina.

Ning Hao's future success as a renowned director in China can be attributed to the help of his wife, Xing Aina.

The two met when they were struggling in Beijing and faced economic pressures together. Xing Aina not only supported Ning Hao's film career financially (such as providing 15 yuan in start-up funds for "Incense"), but also encouraged him in his creative work and helped him persevere in his directing career.

Moreover, Xing Aina is also a very creative screenwriter. She has written many works, such as "Incense", "Green Grassland", "Love Will Carry On", "Crazy Stone", "Golden Robbery" and "Breakup Buddies".

It is no exaggeration to say that behind Ning Hao, the successful and talented director, is a successful screenwriter wife, Xing Aina, who is helping him. Otherwise, he would not have been able to fly so high and go so far in the future.

Besides being a screenwriter, Xing Aina is also a producer and executive producer, and will manage several large companies in the future.

Cheng Sheng certainly didn't want to let go of such a talented manager.

"If I join the company, will it have a negative impact?"

Xing Aina was initially delighted, but then had some concerns.

After all, Ning Hao has already joined Cheng Sheng's studio. If she becomes the manager and shows any favoritism towards Ning Hao, it might attract gossip.

"Then tell me, are you someone who can't distinguish between public and private matters?" Cheng Sheng asked with a smile.

Xing Aina shook her head. Although she loved Ning Hao very much, she would never mix up public and private matters.

"That settles it then," Cheng Sheng said with a shrug.

"Pleasant to work with."

Hearing Cheng Sheng's words, Xing Aina finally came to terms with it.

"Then I'll leave the company management to you from now on, Manager Xing," Cheng Sheng joked.

With Xing Aina joining the company, Cheng Sheng was finally freed from the complicated administrative work, allowing him to focus entirely on filming.

……

The news that Wang Zhi had been recommended by Cheng Sheng to play the female lead in Ning Hao's new movie quickly spread throughout the entire crew.

This made everyone in the crew extremely envious.

A lucky girl.

Having been spotted by Director Cheng, she's likely to become a big star in the film and television industry.

In addition, someone with ulterior motives posted photos of Wang Zhi riding a horse online.

In just a few days, Wang Zhi has become somewhat famous, and there is now a dedicated entry for her on Baidu Baike (Baidu Encyclopedia).
