How did I become famous?

Chapter 127 The Self-Cultivation of a Sycophant

The next day, after breakfast.

Fang hurriedly ran away, claiming he was going to inspect Wu Kai's work.

Half an hour after he left, Su Mulin called Liu Mang and the others to come to the company for a meeting.

Upon arriving at the company, Liu Mang took a deep breath.

He felt he had never been this nervous during the college entrance examination.

"Don't be nervous." Nie Fang handed him a cigarette, and then the four of them squatted down in front of the nail salon next door to smoke. "I think it's not a big problem. Even if you don't believe in yourself and me, you have to believe in Miss Su's feelings for Director Fang."

The nail salon was closed today.

No, it should be said that the nail salon has been closed for several days.

With "The Shadow of Light" about to finish its run, Yoshikage Kira and Chen Yongren have been assigned to do promotional work.

Anyway, nail salons aren't doing any business right now.

It's unlikely there will be any more in the future.

After finishing his cigarette, Nie Fang took out SIXGOD perfume from his handbag and sprayed a little on everyone, then took out chewing gum and gave one to each person.

"Miss Su hates it when people smoke, except for Director Fang. To leave a good impression, let's wait until the smoke dissipates before going up."

As expected of a seasoned driver, he even thought of this step!

Twenty minutes later, the four people who appeared in the company's conference room were all exuding the fragrance of "Six God".

Su Mulin unconsciously frowned—she disliked pungent smells.

Before the four of them were even seated, she asked, "Is the script ready?"

Liu Mang and the others exchanged glances.

Just as I expected! This is exactly what the young lady wanted!

"Ready?" Liu Mang took out the script and respectfully handed it over.

The young lady took the script and flipped through it, while Liu Mang and the others sat quietly without saying a word.

The meeting room was very quiet, with no sound except for the sound of turning pages of the script.

Liu Mang became increasingly nervous.

a long time--

Su Mulin closed the script.

She frowned slightly, looking unhappy: "This script..."

Liu Mang and the others became even more nervous.

Is the young lady dissatisfied with the script?

I can't go back and change it to a domineering CEO type, can I?

Actually, the young lady wasn't dissatisfied. After reading the script and imagining the scene, her heart was already pounding wildly.

But then she suddenly realized that she might not have the acting skills.

Playing yourself is fine, including your mindset, just act normally.

But how do you act out the role of someone who crosses over and impersonates another person?

She is well aware of her own acting skills.

Liu Mang's script is very good, but he doesn't consider his superior's conditions, which shows a lack of tact.

So the young lady wasn't very happy.

She didn't want to give up the script, but she also felt she couldn't act it well.

Now it was Liu Mang's turn to perform.

"If you think there's anything wrong with my script, please point it out directly, and I'll try to revise it."

This is the art of being a subordinate.

Anyway, the boss is never wrong; the only one at fault is yourself, and that's it.

Miss Su's expression softened somewhat: "This script is quite good, but it doesn't take into account the actual situation."

She left it at that, and the other person should understand what she meant.

Liu Mang suddenly realized, and he smiled, "You don't need to worry about those issues. In fact, isn't this better?"

"Better?" Su Mulin was puzzled.

Is it better to expose my poor acting skills?

Liu Mang began to explain: "This requires Lao Fang's cooperation."

So he repeated what he had discussed with Nie Fang and the others.

Of course, it's the kind where part of it has been removed.

Su Mulin was overjoyed upon hearing this.

But she didn't show it.

She simply said in a flat tone, "Okay, make a copy of the script for me, and then you can go and get back to work."

Liu Mang is quite perceptive, isn't he? Hmm, he's worth nurturing!

Su Mulin thought of the plan that Zhang Xixi had offered earlier.

This was like a timely pillow coming to her; she could finally understand why her father and two older brothers liked being the eldest so much.

When you're in trouble, your subordinates will help you share the burden. Being a boss is really great!

And no wonder the old man and his men look for subordinates who are talented and have high emotional intelligence.

So sensible!

Without even mentioning the boss's problem, the person below directly took care of it for the boss.

The young lady also understood.

She felt it was time for the company to hire some more talent.

However, we must not discourage our long-term employees.

"Oh, right," she called to Liu Mang and the others who were about to leave, "You don't need to wait until the movie finishes its run. The profit sharing will still be paid out then. Tomorrow, each of you will receive a 100,000 yuan bonus as compensation for your hard work during this period. Also, from now on, Liu Mang will be the company's vice general manager. You only need to follow Fang Bie's and my instructions. Also, you can start preparing to recruit people. You and Fang Bie will be the ones to interview people. Also, you can start preparing to start promoting the movie. This time is different from the past. Fang Bie doesn't like to do promotion, but your movie can do it this way. Give me your budget, and I'll approve the funding if there are no problems."

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Su."

After leaving the company, Liu Mang and the others exchanged glances.

Then Liu Mang clenched his fist and shouted, "YES! Skinny monkey, what do you have to fight me with!"

Now he's practically the most powerful person in the company, second only to the two bosses! As long as he doesn't run into Fang Bie and Su Mulin, he can do whatever he wants!

All funding approvals were in place. I won't go into the fact that the bonus wasn't much, but Miss Su even entrusted me with the task of recruiting people.

What is this?

This is a trusted confidant!

In the future, won't Wu Kai still have to be mindful of his feelings?

Nie Fang laughed too: "Don't say anything more, Fatty, you're treating us to dinner tonight."

"Absolutely!" Liu Mang patted his shoulder with his fat hand. "Nothing more to say, we'll be drinking all night."

Nie Fang is really impressive! He used to be ostracized; those people were blind!

However, there is still a problem.

"Shouldn't we discuss hiring and movie promotion with Lao Fang?"

Otherwise, if you flatter the boss but offend the second-in-command, wouldn't you be punished for it?

Especially since this second child is the eldest child's precious darling.

Offending the second-in-command is the same as offending the eldest!

"Not bad, Fatty, you're even able to apply what you've learned to other situations." Nie Fang nodded. "We need to talk to Director Fang about this, otherwise it won't be good."

After all, although Miss Su is the one in charge now, anyone with a brain knows that if anyone disagrees with Fang Bie, Miss Su will definitely side with Fang Bie.

"Bajiquan is unparalleled in its power and ferocity, Wing Chun combines strength and gentleness, Tai Chi uses softness to overcome hardness, Baguazhang is flexible and ever-changing, Xingyiquan deeply understands the natural principles of the Five Elements, and Wudang and Shaolin are the leaders of the martial arts world. I would like to offer you all a toast!"

Inside the Dingsheng Hot Pot restaurant, Fang Bie picked up the Sprite in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

The many martial arts masters around them all stood up and said "I dare not," and then drank the white wine in their cups.

"Come on, Kai, tell me your thoughts."

"Yes, Director Fang." Wu Kai's eyes were filled with gratitude.

If Fang doesn't give him so much face by calling him Brother Kai in front of these people, his prestige will be more substantial.

In fact, Fang Bie calls almost everyone "brother," it's just his habit.

Anyway, calling you "brother" won't cost me anything.

If you can give me face, then everyone will be happy.

If you don't give me face, then I can still be in the right when I deal with you.

This is the experience and wisdom of office workers.

As for Fang Bie not facing off against Wu Kai and Xu Kuangfu...

Because his interests lay elsewhere, he didn't feel that the other party had infringed upon his rights, so he didn't care.

If the other party is targeting Fang Bie in terms of games or drawing, then Fang Bie is going to cause trouble.

Back to the present, Wu Kai is explaining his thoughts.

"Here's what I was thinking: since we're going to make this film, we should use the most real people. All the fight scenes in the movie will be real. I've discussed this with several people, and we've asked them to compile some beautiful routines and then break them down according to the plot. This way, we can also introduce the various martial arts styles, and it will also seem more realistic and sophisticated."

He went on and on, but Fang Bie basically didn't understand a thing.

He's an amateur, what does he know about making movies?

So he asked only one question: "But everyone is moving too fast. Should we use high-speed cameras to solve this problem?"

Wu Kai said somewhat embarrassedly, "Yes, this is the best solution."

His embarrassment stemmed from the high cost of high-speed cameras, which would significantly increase the budget for many parts of his envisioned film.

"That's not a problem. Just go ahead and do it. Tell me what you need and I'll apply to the young lady." Fang Bie said, "And the publicity is crucial. We need to keep up with the publicity. These days, even the best wine needs advertising. After all, we can't replicate what I did."

After all, the success of his two films was due to a confluence of favorable timing, location, and people, and since he was going to make games later, he had to leave a way out for Liu Mang and his team.

Therefore, it's best to promote the movie normally.

"." But Wu Kai was slightly taken aback by his little act. "Okay, I understand."

Fang raised his glass: "OK! Our film promotes traditional Chinese martial arts and patriotism, and I believe the higher-ups will support us. I hope we can win Best Film at the next Golden Rooster Awards or some other award."

Wu Kai smiled wryly: "They're being generous by not targeting me, considering what I did back then."

"Whatever," Fang Bie said, indicating that he didn't care. "At worst, we can go abroad and win a few more awards. Then they'll have to grovel for us, right?"

Meanwhile, Xu Kuangfu, who was on his way home, was stopped in the underground parking lot.

He got out of the car and frowned as he looked at the several Mercedes-Benzes blocking his way.

A short while later, seven or eight men in black suits wearing sunglasses got out of those cars.

He took a small step back: "What do you want?"

The man in the black suit at the head of the group smiled and said, "Our boss wants to see you."

"I'm warning you, this is a society governed by law, don't do anything reckless!" Xu Kuangfu said cautiously, "What if I don't go?"

The man in the black suit smiled slightly, took out a media player from his pocket, and turned it on.

[Haha! Wu Kai and Fang Bie are fighting! They'd never guess that the person who hired that troll to write the advertorial would be me, Xu Kuangfu!]

Xu Kuangfu's expression changed: "Who is your boss?!"

Xiao Ye! I never expected you to betray me!

The man in the black suit didn't answer, but instead gestured for him to proceed: "Director Xu, please."

Xu Kuangfu sighed and got into the carriage.
