"No, there is no benefit..." Wu Houdong said stutteringly.

"It's not good that you can lick your ass too? What a fucking natural slave! If Team Meng hadn't come to check today, I really wouldn't know that you had done this kind of thing. Don't be a shameful old guy, get out!" Jia Chaoyang cursed regardless of his image, and finally calmed down his anger a little. Seeing Lan Jiaoxue packing things silently next to him, he changed his mood and smiled kindly: "Xiao Lan, is there any pressure to make you play in Han Lu's night sky this time?"

"Ah? Mr. Jia?" Lan Jiaoxue replied carefully: "I, I'm not mentally prepared."

It is said that Lan Jiaoxue has acted in so many movies, never eaten pork, but also seen pigs running, and has experienced strong storms. However, over the past year, she has suffered repeated suppression and setbacks. Her original ideals and ambitions have long been erased, and people have become extra cautious.

It is true that she had a scandal with the great director Li Jixue, but that was all the company's unilateral idea and used various situations to create rumor. As for me, I only met at a certain cocktail party and didn't even say half of it.

Jia Chaoyang said earnestly: "You have been positive over the years, hardworking and outstanding in your ability. The company is obvious to all, and you also want to add a plus to you. Remember to go to my office to get the Hanlu Night Sky script home and study it carefully. You can ask any questions. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, don't miss it."

Lan Jiaoxue was overjoyed. A soldier who didn't want to be a general was not a good soldier, and an actor who didn't want to be a protagonist was not a good actor. She worked hard in the entertainment industry for so many years and has been bullied. Her dream suddenly came true. She had no mental preparation at all. She was about to burst into tears and replied: "Yes, yes, thank you Mr. Jia, I will work hard and live up to your expectations."

Wu Houdong went to the infirm to check his mouth with a frustrated body, took some medicine, and saw his gums with three missing teeth in front of the mirror, grinning in pain. He returned to the office and sat for a while, his mind was full of confusion, and he felt that this matter was extraordinary, and he went to find Jia Chaoyang with a nervous mood.

Lan Jiaoxue was walking out of Jia Chaoyang's office with the script, and Wu Houdong quickly knocked on the door.

"Come in!"

Wu Houdong covered his swollen face and smiled, "Mr. Jia!"

The office is spacious, with a large mahogany desk in the middle, an LCD computer monitor and several documents on it, and a brand new bookcase on the backrest.

The books in the bookcase are all large Chinese and foreign classics, from psychology to management to literature, covering almost all fields. Unfortunately, no one has read these books once since they were bought.

A star poster of Shen Youtong was posted on the wall opposite. Shen Youtong was not an artist of the Royal Film Company, but Mr. Jia was a loyal fan of Shen Youtong.

"Sit down." Mr. Jia pointed to the small sofa in front of the desk.

There are people in the world, and artists are divided into different levels in the entertainment industry, and directors are no exception.

Enterprises rely on asset scale to rank, and the entertainment industry relies on work to rank. All works that are not good at making excellence are illusory hype.

Director Zhang, Director Chen, and Li Jixue are naturally first-class in the world. They have won big awards and have excellent box office results. They have made batches of actors famous, with high social attention.

Gradually, they form an authoritative force, and their words can even determine the direction of a company.

Directors like Wu Houdong always wander in small-cost films. The box office of the films made is ugly and the society does not pay attention to them. They are barely considered third-rate. How can their status be comparable to Li Jixue? They can only be scolded by the company's senior management.

Sit down as he said, and smiled apologized: "Mr. Jia, I will give you a sincere review..."

"No need to say more nonsense." Jia Chaoyang interrupted him and said, "I don't understand what the Crab Committee does, right? Then I'll tell you that the Crab Committee is a community organization with one or two thousand members, everyone is a desperate person, controlling most of the territory in the West District. Within their sphere of influence, all enterprises and entertainment venues must obey their management, and even the industries opened by the four major families in the West District must pay tribute to them."

"this……"

Jia Chaoyang ignored him and continued: "The former Meng team was the captain of the most powerful Hungry Dog Pioneer in the Crab Committee. What are you old? You still want to call the police? If you really want to call the police, hehe, I'm afraid the consequences will be unpredictable. Do you know why Du Ruomiao was banned when he was popular? Do you know why Yan Chongnian disappeared? Do you know why Gou Xiaotian jumped off the building?"

Wu Houdong was sweating coldly. Gou Xiaotian was one of his friends in the circle. He jumped off the building for no reason and was paralyzed at home. He still kept his mouth shut and was so secretive that he was secretly worried about the matter at that time. It turned out that this was the case. His scalp suddenly itched, and he had goose bumps, and he said, "What should I do?"

Jia Chaoyang took out a stack of documents and threw them over: "This is your last chance in the future, and it is also the only chance. If the movie is filmed well, you will have nothing to do. If it is filmed well, no one can protect you."

Wu Houdong took the document and saw that it was Han Lu's night sky script. The protagonist's name was originally printed with the three words Du Ruomiao, but now it has been forked off and Lan Jiaoxue is written on it.

Jia Chaoyang said: "This movie is planned to invest 12 million, of which the promotional expenses account for more than 30%. The Mongolian team requires that the box office must reach 50 million. For a movie with a small cost and a literary nature, the task is indeed a major task. This is a hard indicator that cannot be discounted. What do you think?"

Wu Houdong hurriedly picked up the script and started reading it carefully. Jia Chaoyang didn't urge him and just waited patiently next to him.

The main content of the Han Lu Sky is about the poor girl Chen Shiyi, who was originally a college student who worked part-time and studied. She accidentally met Qin Jiang, a rich young master who ran away from home. She gave Qin Jiang selfless help, which made Qin Jiang fall in love with this kind-hearted poor girl.

Just as the relationship between the two was progressing, another rich lady who was childhood sweethearted in the rich family suddenly came out, obstructing and torturing. A handsome guy who had always been in love with a poor girl was naturally not convinced, and his relationship continued to escalate among the four people.

Finally, the poor girl and the young master broke through many obstacles, and had been able to cross the same boat for a hundred years, and had been able to sleep together for a thousand years. Finally, they entered the palace of marriage hand in hand.

After spending more than twenty minutes reading the script, Wu Houdong sighed and said, "This script is very plain and an ordinary idol movie. There is no outstanding feature. I suggest strengthening hype and media offensives, hype scandals, and gimmicks, and trying to get hot when the filming is finished."

Jia Chaoyang said: "To make an investment of 12 million yuan generate a box office of 50 million yuan, it is far from enough to rely on speculation alone. You should use your brain more on the script and see what needs to be changed. Now my country's entertainment industry has entered a misunderstanding, thinking that hype is everything, but in fact it depends on its own quality. I can't give you too much help, go back and think about it carefully."

"I will study it carefully." Wu Houdong quickly made a statement.

"Remember, your whole family's life depends on it. Team Mon will not make people bargain."

Originally, for Yu Simin's sake, the staff of the Sino-Foreign Cultural Exchange Office wanted to hold a "new-welcome banquet" for Chen Huayao. The cost was naturally public.

However, as the weekend approaches, there are a lot of things. Pang Yuanchang and Lu Zhili come out of Huang Film Company and are both rushing to have a meeting, so they have to make an appointment to come again next week.

Chen Huayao was idle for a while and went to the nearby billiards room to play billiards for more than an hour. He checked the time. It was almost six o'clock in the afternoon when Shi Shiran returned home.

Xia Dirui looked like a hostess, with a dense apron on her waist, her sleeves rolled up high, revealing her smooth forearm like jade lotus roots, and she prepared the meal and waited for him to go home.

Fried eggplant with minced meat, fried eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried meat slices with green peppers, fried potatoes with sauce, egg flower soup, simple four dishes and one soup.

The little girl is talented and not only has a developed brain, but also has great hands-on ability. She has simple dishes, mastered heat, salty and stir-frying techniques, etc. Once calculated in her mind, it is more boring than one plus one equals two. It doesn’t take much effort to make a few dishes to please her brother.

As soon as he entered the door, Xia Dirui stared at the kitchen with clear and bright eyes, as if he had caught her late husband's wife: "Why did you come back at this time? Where did you go to fool around?"

"Don't I go to work? Otherwise, there would be no money to support you." Chen Huayao saw Zhang Moying curling lazily on the sofa in the living room, pressing the game console button with one hand, while groping with the other hand, picking up the potato chips and stuffing them into his mouth.

Today is Friday, I don’t have to study at night, so Zhang Moying goes home as soon as school is over in the afternoon.

Xia Dirui leaned forward and sniffed it hard in his arms, saying, "I didn't find the smell of perfume, I'm sure you passed the test. Nannan, why don't you go to serve the rice quickly?"

"If you ask me to go, I will go, then I will be embarrassed?" Zhang Moying didn't raise her head.

"Then don't blame me for spreading your scandal that night."

"Hmph, it's so boring. I always mention this. Can you change something new? Stinky baby!" Zhang Moying seemed to have caught some handle by Xia Dirui, and reluctantly put down the game console and went to the kitchen to serve the meal.

Chen Huayao sat at the table, and Xia Dirui said again: "Why are you unhygienic? Go and wash your hands before you can have a meal."

I had no choice but to wash my hands and start eating.

Xia Dirui put meat into Chen Huayao's bowl and said, "Brother, can you give me some money?"

"What do you want money to do?"

Xia Dirui ate the rice in her mouth and said in a vague way: "There is no money at home, water and electricity, so it's not enough to buy vegetables? It's cold, so I want to buy a few sets of clothes to wear."

Chen Huayao nodded, walked back to the room and took out a bank card and threw it to her: "There are 20,000 yuan in it, all of my coffin book. Save some flowers and don't buy fancy clothes like Yingying."

Zhang Moying said unhappily: "What is fancy and whistle? Do you know how to appreciate trends in old antiques?"

Xia Dirui smiled and put away the bank card and said, "Will you take us out for fun tonight if you have nothing to do?"

Chen Huayao said angrily: "Can't you review your homework at home? Yingying is going to take the college entrance examination next year, why don't she be willing to accept her temperament?"

Zhang Moying said: "The baby taught me some learning methods, and it seems to be effective. Is it necessary to relax and rest on weekends? Otherwise, I will always read and read! People will become stupid. Since you don't bring them, then I can go to play with my baby alone, right?"

"Where do you want to go?"

Before Zhang Moying could speak, Xia Dirui rushed to say, "Nannan wants to take me to the bar to see you."

"Bar? No. That kind of smoky place can you two underage children go to? You are not allowed to go." Chen Huayao's tone was decisive.
