The director starts by learning from the abilities of renowned directors.

Chapter 101 Liu Shishi Takes Over, Shen Qing Increases Investment

At noon, Shen Qing called Chen Zhixi, asking her to arrange a role for Li Yitong in "Scarlet Heart".

"Ma'ertai Ruoxi, whoever plays the female lead in this drama will become famous. We should keep the good stuff in the family."

Chen Zhixi is Li Yitong's top agent, so naturally she speaks on Li Yitong's side. Shen Qing had discussed the selection of the female lead with her, but she didn't quite understand it.

It doesn't make sense that they would give up the best role in a project they themselves are in charge of!

My boss is great in every way, except he's too much of a womanizer. Could it be that he's taken a fancy to that Liu Shishi?

"Guo Luoluo Mingyu is a key supporting character with a distinct personality and strong dramatic tension, so let's go with Guo Luoluo Mingyu," Shen Qing said. "Ma'ertai Ruoxi is Liu Shishi's, Yongzheng will be played by Nie Yuan, Guo Luoluo Mingyu will be played by Li Yitong, the Fourteenth Prince will be played by Chen Xiao, and you and Cai Yinong can discuss the other roles."

Magic City.

Tangren Film Company.

"Sister, you wanted to see me?"

Liu Shishi knocked on the door and entered Cai Yinong's office.

Cai Yinong handed the script on her desk to Liu Shishi and instructed her, "This is the complete script of 'Scarlet Heart.' Take a good look at it and pay close attention."

Liu Shishi took the script, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Sister, didn't you say that all of Green Willow's scenes combined wouldn't even fill one episode? Do I still have to read the entire script?"

Cai Yinong looked at Liu Shishi with a complicated expression and said, "This is the second reason I called you here: you're not playing Luwu anymore, you're playing the female lead, Ma'ertai Ruoxi! Shishi, whoever plays this role will become famous. The opportunity is yours, you must seize it."

"I'm playing the female lead? What about Yang Mi? Wasn't this drama tailor-made for her by Shen Qing? Would Shen Qing agree to that?"

Cai Yinong's expression became even more complicated. She carefully observed Liu Shishi, trying to find some clues, but naturally she couldn't find anything. She said, "It was Shen Qing who personally selected you to play the female lead, Ma'ertai Ruoxi."

Before "Chinese Paladin 3" was broadcast, Liu Shishi was unknown. Even though it was a project of Tangren Media, Cai Yinong felt that it would be too risky to use Liu Shishi. However, outsiders were so optimistic about Shishi.

"I'm playing the female lead?"

Liu Shishi could hardly believe it; it felt like a dream.

Cai Yinong looked at Liu Shishi, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Shishi, when Director Shen Qing visited the set last time, you two had some contact. Did you feel that he treated you—treated you in any special way?"

"Special? How so?" Liu Shishi asked.

Cai Yinong recalled the scene when Shen Qing came to visit Yang Mi in the "Chinese Paladin 3" crew. At that time, she vaguely felt that Shen Qing's attention was always on Shi Shi, but she didn't pay much attention. Now, looking back at the scene, could it be that Shen Qing really had a crush on Shi Shi?

Very likely!

After all, Shen Qing's reputation with women was known to some extent within the industry.

Actually, Liu Shishi wasn't completely oblivious.

The idea of ​​someone liking another person for over a decade without anyone noticing only exists in movies and TV shows.

In reality, if you like someone, the other person will easily notice, but some people will choose to pretend not to know.

Liu Shishi had a vague feeling about it, but she wasn't quite sure.

"Whatever the reason, this is a rare opportunity for you, so make the most of it."

"I understand, sis."

"Shishi, if at any time Mr. Shen—anyway, you should keep a close eye on him, Mr. Shen has quite a few girlfriends."

"Okay, thank you, sis."

Liu Shishi thought Cai Yinong was going to say that President Shen's girlfriends were all quite formidable, but she didn't expect the answer to be "quite a lot".

The total investment for "Scarlet Heart" is estimated at 3000 million yuan, with Magic Films contributing 1100 million yuan in cash, the adaptation rights, and the script, and Tangren Films contributing 1500 million yuan in cash. Each company will hold 50% of the rights.

Shenqi Films proposed that Nie Yuan play the role of Emperor Yongzheng, Chen Xiao play the role of the fourteenth prince, the same role originally played by Lin Gengxin, Li Yitong play Guo Luoluo Mingyu, and Liu Shishi, an actress under Tangren Media, play the female lead, Ma'ertai Ruoxi.

Although Liu Shishi is an artist under Tangren Media, it was Shen Qing of Shenqi Films who suggested that she play the female lead. Shen Qing's move has aroused considerable speculation both within Shenqi Films and Tangren Media.

The two companies are still in communication regarding the selection of the remaining roles.

As for Shen Qing, the filming of "The Nameless" is progressing smoothly and is expected to wrap up before the Lunar New Year.

Time flies, and it's noon on January 20th.

Chen Zhixi made a special call to the "Unknown" film crew to congratulate Shen Qing on the box office success of "Nanjing Photo Studio," which surpassed 4 million yuan, making it the first domestic film to gross over 4 million yuan.

Although she already knew that it was highly likely that the figure would break 4 million yesterday, Chen Zhixi was still extremely excited when she received the definite news from the Special Fund Office today.

-

Multiple media outlets have already reported on it. A box office of 4 million yuan, and it's already broken like that, especially considering the subject matter of "Nanjing Photo Studio". It's really quite something!

It was 22:45 p.m. that night.

Just as Shen Qing was about to go to sleep, Li Yitong was lying in the blankets on his bed.

Chen Zhixi called again.

"You told me to keep an eye on Apple's stock, and today Apple's stock price has fallen to $78.19."

Shen Qing had a bath towel wrapped around his waist as he sat on the bed while answering the phone.

"So that means I've already lost a lot of money on the stocks I bought last month."

"You held a total of 11.76 shares, with an average cost of $85. You lost $6.81 per share, for a total loss of $80."

Chen Zhixi added, "In less than a month, $80 was gone, which translates to more than 500 million."

.

"Zhixi, thank you for reminding me. But for Apple stock, I only have one principle—buy when it drops, buy when it drops! You called me tonight specifically to say that the price of $78.19 is already terrible, so let's buy another $1000 million worth of stock."

"Chairman—"

"It's settled then."

"6

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qing took off his bathrobe and got into bed. Li Yitong asked curiously, "Are you trading stocks?"

"I don't usually pay much attention to stocks, but Apple's stock is special. I think its value is seriously undervalued."

"Then I'll buy some too."

"Have Chen Zhixi help you open an account, and I'll lend you some more money. Don't buy blindly, just buy what I tell you. If I don't sell, then don't sell."

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

Shen Qing looked at Li Yitong, finding her expression perplexing.

"What's wrong?"

Li Yitong asked.

"It's nothing."

Shen Qing said after regaining her senses.

He was just suddenly struck by a realization: Li Yitong had only come to sleep with him, but she overheard his phone call with Chen Zhixi and decided to follow Shen Qing's lead in buying stocks. If she could really keep her word, she would definitely make a lot of money in the future.

This small incident greatly changed a person's fate.

Last time, Shen Qing invested $1000 million and bought a total of 11.76 shares of Apple stock. This time, he invested another $1000 million and bought 12.79 shares of Apple stock.

In this way, Shen Qing holds a total of 24.55 shares of Apple stock. Apple has a total of 8.9055 million shares, and Shen Qing's shareholding ratio reaches 0.02757%.

The value of these stocks will exceed 10 billion yuan in the future!

Moreover, he also holds a large number of Tencent and Moutai shares.
