"What are you thinking about!" Stephen Chow gave him a disgruntled look.

"You really are a relative from Guangdong, wanting both food and gifts!"

He can help, but not like this!

That way it'll look just like the movie he directed!

In the past, when making movies, there were indeed open auditions for the female lead, and the scale of the auditions was quite large.

This also led to the introduction of a new term: "Stephen Chow's Girl".

If Stephen Chow were to announce that he would be holding open auditions for a female role, countless people would flock to the audition, all vying for the opportunity!

After all, according to past practice, being able to become the female lead basically means you can become famous.

Even if she doesn't become a top-tier star in the future, she will most likely not have trouble finding roles.

However, it's really unnecessary to make such a big fuss just to find a female actress for Mingbei with a minor role.

"Of course," Mingbei nodded.

"I want it all, and I want to take it all!"

He was just joking; finding a supporting actor really didn't require Stephen Chow to use nuclear weapons.

Besides, how will I repay the favor after using it?

Will he later invest in his "Mermaid" series and play the boss with the pesticide sprayer?

Hmm, it doesn't seem like it's impossible...

Upon returning from Hong Kong Island, Mingbei immediately immersed himself in the formal preparations for the film crew's production.

He currently has no other film contracts, which gives him plenty of free time.

As for Orange Mobile, it has maintained a steady growth trend and is currently the leader among domestic smartphone manufacturers.

He doesn't need to worry about this too much.

As for subsequent research and development, the design drafts have already been prepared.

With the addition of two assistant directors from Stephen Chow's team, the film crew was assembled faster than expected.

Some behind-the-scenes staff are already in talks, and most of them are ready to be in place at any time.

They are all highly experienced personnel who have worked with Stephen Chow for a long time and are familiar with the formulas of comedy, which will be beneficial to Mingbei's filming.

At this time, Mingbei also started recruiting people to join the crew.

The primary objective is to protect strength.

Baoqiang isn't quite at the peak of his fame yet.

However, his performance in "Lost in Thailand" was quite eye-catching, and the release of "Mr. Tree" a month ago also gave the public a completely new evaluation of his acting skills.

His performance in it completely overturned the audience's expectations of him!

It has even been included in the performance textbooks of some universities!

Even so, Baoqiang's popularity has not yet truly exploded; it is merely on an upward trend.

However, when Mingbei tried to contact Baoqiang through his agent, he was refused.

"Um???"

Mingbei frowned and asked in confusion,

"They didn't say anything, and then refused us after we introduced ourselves?"

"Yes!"

The company's contact person replied with a wry smile.

"We also mentioned your name, boss, but it still didn't work..."

Although Mingbei has gained some fame, he doesn't really have a significant position in the entertainment industry.

It's not easy to get someone to give you face.

However, Mingbei didn't want to be red-haired; he just wanted to discuss collaboration, and the salary was negotiable.

But I didn't expect to be rejected before I even started.

"No, it was his agent who refused, not him?"

Soon, Mingbei discovered the key point: it was the agent who directly refused, not Baoqiang who spoke up.

"Didn't the message reach Baoqiang?"

"I don't know..."

That's true. If you can't even get past the agent, you definitely won't be able to get any further details.

As for his agent, Mingbei could only chuckle.

It hasn't come to light yet; no one knows about the sordid things that happened.

However, just because no one knows doesn't mean that the event hasn't happened yet.

Based on subsequent revelations, it's highly likely that a connection had already been established by this point.

They might even have thoughts of persecuting Baoqiang!

"Boss, this..."

At this moment, the person in charge of the liaison saw Mingbei lost in thought, pursed his lips, and prepared to ask about his next plans.

Being rejected outright, and twice in a row saying they didn't want to cooperate, normally one would have to find other connections to approach the matter.

However, Mingbei's company was newly established, and in terms of connections and resources, it was almost entirely nonexistent.

Or rather, it all basically rests with the boss.

"Go ahead and get busy, I'll handle this personally!"

Mingbei waved his hand, not making things difficult for him.

After seeing him leave and close the door, Mingbei began to ponder.

"If we try to build connections through alumni, we should be able to leverage Xu Zheng's resources..."

After all, they had previously filmed "Lost in Thailand" together, and will be filming "Lost in Thailand" next year, so their relationship is currently okay.

After that, that's another story.

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to owe anyone a favor!"

Besides these, Mingbei has trump cards and a final killing move.

They directly used Orange Mobile to make contact with Baoqiang himself, and he was able to get in touch very quickly.

"It's a bit hard to get an appointment with Brother Baoqiang!"

Several days later, under the influence of powerful connections, Mingbei finally met Baoqiang.

However, his very first words made Bao Qiang's agent look rather unpleasant.

Baoqiang, on the other hand, looked puzzled.

"What's wrong? Didn't we meet right away?"

"You didn't ask me out before, did you?"

Mingbei smiled slightly but did not reply. He then looked at the agent surnamed Song.

"Excuse me, could we be alone for a while?"

During the meeting, he directly revealed his identity, which was, of course, that of the fisherman. Therefore, Manager Song naturally thought of the situation where he had refused not long ago.

Manager Song hesitated, as if he wanted to say something, but ultimately decided that he couldn't afford to offend a hot company like Orange Mobile for the time being.

Even though we don't know Mingbei's exact identity, he seems like a tough opponent right now.

He decided to stand up and forced a smile.

"You two chat, I'll be outside. Let me know if you need anything."

Baoqiang was even more confused. Today he felt like he had plunged into a fog and had no idea what had happened.

From Zhuge Liang's perspective in hindsight, he was indeed kept in the dark about many things and was completely manipulated.

"Actually, I didn't talk to Brother Baoqiang about the things on Orange's phone today," Mingbei apologized sincerely after the man left.

"We can't find you through conventional means, so we have to use some connections..."

"It can't be that bad," Baoqiang said in surprise.

"I'm not a superstar anymore, so it's easy for you to find me!"

Baoqiang has a certain level of fame, and with the help of Mr. Tree this year, he can be said to have reached a new level in the domestic fish industry.

He has indeed been quite spirited lately, but he's not the arrogant, conceited type.

She's still as easy to get along with as usual.

In his memory, Mingbei was quite famous; if he wanted to find him, he wouldn't have gone through such a roundabout way.

You might have to do someone a favor to even get a chance to see me!
