"what?"

Chen Sicheng stood there stunned, while Tong Liya, standing beside him, opened her mouth slightly and widened her eyes, revealing a surprised expression.

How did they end up inviting me to be the assistant director of the film?

Is there any direct connection between these two things?

"My film crew is also quite short-staffed," Mingbei explained.

"Director Chen is clearly a very talented person, and he's quite interested in my subject matter!"

"Since that's the case, why not join in and create a suspenseful comedy film that offers audiences a completely new perspective?"

After pausing for a moment, he continued, his tone slightly apologetic.

"However, two directors are already credited for this film, so it's difficult to add another one!"

"Of course, Director Chen won't be neglected regarding his salary..."

Mingbei didn't care about spending the extra money, because he knew that if he could bring Chen Sicheng over, it would definitely save him a lot of trouble!

It cannot be denied that he does have some talent.

Mingbei is very magnanimous when his subordinates are talented, and he would never suspect that they have overshadowed him.

Because no matter how high you climb in the entertainment industry, you can't climb that high.

Moreover, this was originally his work, so bringing him on board should be very beneficial to the filming schedule.

Furthermore, it was only the role of an assistant director, so the influence was not significant.

Have you ever seen an audience member who cares about the assistant directors, producers, production assistants, or other behind-the-scenes personnel in your production crew?

Even if you stay in the theater until the very end and read through the long list of staff, it's only to see the post-credits scene.

Therefore, the name "Ah Li" is mostly associated with actors and directors.

Others will not receive excessive attention.

However, if Chen Sicheng has such a resume, and if Detective Chinatown becomes a hit, it will greatly help him in his future career as a director.

Mingbei wasn't sure if Chen Sicheng would agree, after all, he was now somewhat famous, and the "Love Story in Beijing" was indeed quite good.

If things proceeded normally, he could have easily found investors and assembled a production team on his own.

He might not be willing to be the assistant director of the film.

"this......"

As expected, Chen Sicheng gave a wry smile, scratched his head, and

"I might need to think about it!"

"I understand," Mingbei said with a smile, not pressing the issue.

"I was being presumptuous. Director Chen is perfectly capable of being a director; there's no need for him to be my assistant director!"

"Joining our Detective Chinatown crew is actually a waste of your talent..."

Chen Sicheng at this moment is, to put it bluntly, a bit arrogant and not so easy to subdue.

They do have some talent, so you can't call them a fool.

"Okay, let's exchange contact information first, and chat again when we have time!"

Mingbei took out his phone and exchanged contact information with them.

Because their flight times were different, Mingbei and the others left first, leaving Chen Sicheng and Tong Liya behind.

Tong Liya looked at Chen Sicheng, who was deep in thought beside her, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked,

What are your thoughts?

Chen Sicheng snapped out of his daze, took a deep breath,

"I have a feeling this kid is something else!"

"What's not simple about it?"

"Actually, I did some research on him," he hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell the truth.

"Initially, he entered the entertainment industry solely based on his good looks, and quickly received an invitation from director Bu Bu to play the Fourteenth Prince in that drama!"

Tong Liya was aware of this and also highly approved of Mingbei's good looks.

Seeing it on TV was already breathtaking enough, but seeing it in real life today is even more awe-inspiring!

She knew very well that this level of beauty was extremely rare, even in the entertainment industry where there were many handsome men and beautiful women!

Normally speaking, one could indeed establish oneself in the entertainment industry based solely on their looks.

But judging from Chen Sicheng's words, are there other forces behind this?

"Normally, someone just starting out in the industry doesn't have the ability to prepare for a film, especially one with a high overall production value," Chen Sicheng said, his eyes gleaming with an unusual light.

"Besides, Mingbei didn't join any company; instead, he started his own!"

He paused, then said in a low voice,

"So I pressed Baoqiang for answers, and eventually learned that Mingbei has a strong connection with Orange Mobile!"

Orange Phone?

Tong Liya flipped her hand over and saw that she was holding an orange phone, the classic orange ocean color.

"And," he said mysteriously, glancing around,

"I checked, the owner of Orange Mobile is also surnamed Ming!"

"You know, this surname is quite uncommon!"

His meaning was already very clear: even if Mingbei wasn't the heir of Orange Mobile, he was at least a relative of the boss!

"That's a big corporation, a lot of capital!"

Chen Sicheng, with a serious expression, said slowly,

"Therefore, cultivating good relationships definitely requires effort!"

Upon hearing this, Tong Liya felt a strange surge of irritation.

In her memory, Si Cheng was a very talented, capable person with lofty ideals.

But now, he is approaching so-called capital in a somewhat humble manner.

In that instant, she inexplicably felt that the man in front of her had become far less attractive than before.

Even though this behavior may not be wrong, and is even quite common.

But in Tong Liya's mind, he had lost points.

The white moonlight that you finally have and the white moonlight that you can only admire from afar may actually be different people.

Or rather, the ideal woman in your heart enhances your own image.

In reality, they might not be like that.

"Then why don't you agree to be his assistant director on his film? Wouldn't that allow you to get closer more quickly?"

After a long pause, Tong Liya suddenly spoke, interrupting Chen Sicheng's explanation of the pros and cons.

"These things can't be rushed," Chen Sicheng said, looking confident.

"You know the story of Liu Bei's three visits to Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage, right? Talented people aren't easy to find; it takes some twists and turns!"

"What's too easily obtained won't be cherished. I'm just loosening the fishing line so that the big fish can be hooked properly!"

Tong Liya listened to his words, catching a particular phrase in them, and murmured to herself,

"What's too easily obtained is not cherished..."

the other side.

Inside the business class cabin of an airplane.

"Boss, why did you want to hire him as the assistant director?"

The company staff were puzzled, wondering why their boss had suddenly taken a liking to a complete stranger he had just met that day!

Although he was only an assistant director, judging from the salaries of the other assistant directors, it was a lucrative job!

Moreover, this was their first meeting; they were complete strangers before, not even online friends!

Therefore, they were very puzzled and couldn't figure it out.

"Could it be," someone muttered to themselves.

"Boss, you've taken a liking to that girl next to him and are trying to use this opportunity to employ a roundabout tactic?"
