How did I become famous?

Three days later, in the conference room of Fangmu Film and Television Company, Liu Mang smiled smugly.

They all pretended to be profound and said they would refuse, but didn't they all come running over like madmen?

In the main seat, Fang Bie crossed his hands under his chin, striking the same pose as Commander Ikari: "Liu Mang, introduce the contestant."

Liu Mang adjusted his glasses: "Okay."

He first looked at Zhao Qiumei: "This is Ms. Zhao Qiumei. She is a senior event planner who has been involved in the on-the-ground promotion of various educational institutions for many years. She once set a record of distributing 5,000 flyers in one day."

"She's a production assistant on our film set."

Fang Bie nodded: "He really is a talented person."

Liu Mang continued, "This 1.9-meter-tall, strong man is named Li Bo. He travels between various kindergartens year-round, doing stage set design and similar work. He is our crew's set designer."

"This is post-production editor Lo Wei. He is a professional wedding MV editor who has never received a complaint from a couple in his career."

"Next to him is Pan Xiao, a top visual effects artist whose clients include real estate developers from various regions. Whether it's asking employees to jump off a roof and grow wings to fly around, or changing the same scene throughout the four seasons, he can do it all."

"The girl next to me is Liu Qian. She's a well-known beauty blogger online, and she's in charge of all the makeup for our crew. She has a friend who works in costumes, but she has something to do today and will come later."

Fang nodded: "What about the lighting and photography?"

"There's a wedding to film today, so they won't be able to come over until this afternoon."

Fang Bie remained silent.

Su Mulin frowned, clearly dissatisfied.

Liu Mang and the others didn't dare to breathe loudly; they were extremely nervous, afraid that Fang would reject them.

"Everyone," Fang Bie said slowly after a long silence, "you are all talents that Fangmu Film and Television urgently needs. If there are no problems, let's sign the contract when the photographers return this afternoon."

He snapped his fingers: "Xiao Lin, bring the drafted contract over and let everyone see if there are any problems."

Are you satisfied with Fang Bieman?

He was extremely satisfied!

Liu Mango completely understood what he meant!

Take a look!

These guys are completely unrelated to the movie!

Working as a site manager for on-the-ground promotions?

A backdrop for moving scaffolding?

Editing wedding music videos?

Special effects artist for real estate promotional videos?

Makeup tutorials from beauty bloggers?

Photographers and lighting technicians who film live weddings?

What quality movies can these guys make?

Liu Mang... well done!

Su Mulin reluctantly took out the contracts and distributed them to the group.

She was naturally dissatisfied.

The seven million investment may not be important to her, but it represents all the assets she currently possesses.

She cares more about the quality of the film.

She had no objection to the other scripts, even though she couldn't tell whether they were good or bad.

But these people...

She knew these people; they were all quite capable.

Because a day or two ago, after learning the names of these people from Liu Mang, she instructed Yan Shuangying to investigate their identities.

So she knows everything they've done in the past.

This is also why she is not very satisfied.

It's not that these people are bad; quite the opposite.

These people are considered top experts in the industry.

But they were all troublemakers.

They all left the entertainment industry for a specific reason.

They either committed a crime or offended someone.

And so on.

So what she was worried about wasn't the skill level of these people, but rather their potential for causing trouble.

But Fang Bie doesn't know that.

All he knew was that these people were the talents he needed—ordinary laymen with average skills.

They are the kind of people whose jobs seem similar to those needed in a film crew at first glance, but are actually completely different.

Fang Bie stood up and clapped his hands: "Okay, you guys look at the contract first, I have something to take care of."

When he came outside, he saw a man in a black coat with a crew cut sitting quietly at the tea table, drinking tea.

He walked over, picked up a bottle of Nanjing cigarettes from the table, lit one, and sat down opposite him: "Brother Yan, how's the script reading going?"

If it's called "Captain China", then who else could play the lead role if not Yan Shuangying?

"The script is fine, but..." Yan Shuangying frowned slightly, "It's been over ten years since I graduated from school, and I haven't acted in a film. It might not be appropriate to cast me as the lead in a movie right away."

Seeing this, Fang Bie earnestly advised, "Brother Yan, you're overthinking things."

He glanced at the conference room and saw that the door was closed. He assumed that Miss Su was busy with contract matters inside, so he lowered his voice.

"You understand what Uncle Su means, Brother Yan. Let alone where we'll find an actor, even if we do, we can't afford the money. It's perfect for you to play the role, Brother Yan. Anyway, you graduated from film school, so I can fool Miss Su."

"But..." Yan Shuangying couldn't help but light a cigarette. "I haven't touched that stuff in over ten years. I really can't act anymore. The young lady will definitely be on set supervising. What if she notices something's wrong? You know, the young lady is a woman too. Anyone who underestimates a woman's abilities will suffer a great loss."

His meaning is very clear.

Even if you're incredibly good at bluffing, if you don't perform well on set, she'll still notice something's wrong.

Therefore, we still need to find professional actors.

But professional actors are too expensive, and established stars won't act in this little-known film with a budget of several million.

Moreover, many actors don't actually have acting skills.

Fang Bie smiled slightly: "Just be normal. Yan-ge, be the same as you are in front of the camera."

Because this movie was originally tailor-made for Yan Shuangying.

Actually, knowing how to face the camera is something that definitely requires learning and practice.

Most people would feel awkward facing a camera directly.

For example, when shooting wedding wishes, photographers will say, "Relax, just treat it like a normal chat."

But if the photographer were to face the camera himself, he would also get nervous.

But Yan Shuangying would not.

Because he was, after all, a top student who graduated from the Beijing Film Academy.

Although he later served in the military and became a bodyguard.

So as long as he acts according to his usual personality, the image of the pretentious Yan Shuangying will be established.

Seeing that Yan Shuangying was still hesitant, Fang Bie persuaded him, "Brother Yan, are you really content to be an unknown bodyguard? Don't you want to become a real movie actor? Even if it's just in my movie."

Seeing that Yan Shuangying remained silent, Fang Bie tried a different approach.

"Brother Yan, how did you become Uncle Su's bodyguard?"

"Only those who know how to be grateful will have a chance to survive."

Tsk, those familiar lines again... Fang Bie, with a smile on his face, said, "How's it going, Brother Yan? Uncle Su certainly doesn't want to see you waste your time like this. Otherwise, why would he send you?"

If you're really worried about Su Mulin's safety, why not just send a female bodyguard to protect her closely?

Why send Yan Shuangying?

Finally, Yan Shuangying was persuaded by him.

"Xiao Fang, no, Director Fang, when do we start filming?"

"We'll get started in the next few days, once Liu Mang has gathered all the extras."
