Chapter 36: Ban

Shang Jie accidentally suffered from insomnia last night.

That shallow good night kiss, the soft touch kept spreading on his lips.

In the darkness, he opened his dark eyes and his slender fingertips, and fell on his lips in a single stroke.

I tossed and turned in the middle of the night, tossed and turned, and my heart was always dry.

Of course, the sequelae of insomnia all night is not good.

During the morning meeting the next day, I actually dozed off, my arms supported my head and knocked down like a woodpecker, so that the employees did not dare to make too loud noises when reporting, for fear of disturbing the boss's good dream.

The meeting made up for the sleepiness, Shang Jie was refreshed and asked Linchuan casually: "What are the arrangements for the afternoon?"

Linchuan looked through Shang Jie's schedule and said, "The afternoon time is blank. You can rest for a while. This period is exhausted."

Shang Jie nodded and asked again: "What are her arrangements for the afternoon?"

"who?"

Shang Jie glared at him.

Linchuan immediately changed his words and said, "Oh, my wife is going to go to Leyu Film and Television Media for the final audition, and then the board of directors will decide to sign the female lead."

Leyu Media is affiliated to a subsidiary of Shangshi Group. It is precisely because of this that Shang Jie has the right to arrange for Linchuan to recommend candidates to director Xu Xiwei.

Shang Jie pondered for a moment and said, "Since the board of directors decided to win the female lead, as the chairman, he should go there."

"Although the nominal statement is decided by the board of directors, it is just a process. In fact, the director has the final say. There is no big problem and it is basically decided. The afternoon audition is just a formality. You don't have to go there in person, big boss."

Shang Jie gave him a sharp look of "Do you don't want to do it anymore?" Linchuan immediately said obediently: "Big Boss, I'll make arrangements for you right away!"

"Um."

When Linchuan left the office, he thought to himself that he wanted to see his wife, so he said it straightforwardly, and it was so high-sounding.

Of course, this was just a silent complaint in Linchuan's heart. Since Shang Jie wanted to visit his subsidiary so seriously, he had to arrange the people below to prepare to take over.

...

Jiang Xingxing encountered some troubles as soon as he arrived at Leyu Media.

Zhou Xu, the male actor who originally signed the contract to play Xia Jie, heard that Jiang Xingxing signed the contract today and came to the company in a hurry.

Now there is a big fuss in the conference room.

"If you sign her, I will terminate the contract!"

Zhou Xu was a member of a super popular boy group from a talent show. Later, the boy group was disbanded and he embarked on the road of acting.

Although he is not a professional actor, he has many fans and is a very popular young and handsome guy, so many film and television companies still consider him as the male lead, after all, he has its own traffic.

Zhou Xu likes to be a big shot, has a bad temper and a bad reputation, and is also famous in the circle.

This young and handsome guy who became famous overnight has a good appearance and figure, but he has a very bad temper.

Although the agent always asked him to restrain himself, he couldn't control himself. He was young and energetic and had some achievements. He was held in his hands by his fans and called him the male god husband all day long, making him so happy that he really thought he had become a national male god.

He also often bans people on Weibo, sometimes bans black fans, sometimes bans other artists, and his fan club is like a well-trained army, and he fights wherever he points.

This made him even more arrogant.

And now, Zhou Xu's spearhead was directly pointed at Jiang Xingxing.

"Is there no one in your company? Is there any unfamous actress who comes to play against me? Why do you want to use my popularity to promote her?"

Jiang Xingxing was about to feel sick. Who would want to take advantage of his popularity? This is a great feeling for himself.

Director Xu Xiwei stepped forward and explained: "We chose Jiang Xingxing because she was good at acting and had nothing to do with you."

Zhou Xu crossed his legs, and sat on the chair like an old man, arrogant and domineering: "Didn't you say last time that the female number one sign Chu Yue? Now I'm temporarily replacing someone for me. What's the point? Do you still have basic credit?"

Xu Xiwei said: "Chu Yue did not pass the audition. She was not good at acting and could not afford the richness of the role of Acheng."

Jiang Xingxing knew that Chu Yue, Chu Yue and Zhou Xu had always been good friends in the circle. They debuted together and had rumors of couples. Their popularity was comparable. Because of the bundling and hype, they attracted another wave of CP fans. Therefore, Zhou Xu hoped that Chu Yue would come to play against him, which was also to consolidate the needs of fans.

"Anyway, I don't agree to let this woman who is not famous and has a distorted face play against me. I tell you, my female lead must be an actress with the same strength as me. I don't want anyone to get the popularity."

Xu Xiwei's face became a little ugly: "No one here wants to take advantage of your popularity. Please don't use the entertainment industry's fans to the entertainment industry. If you want to be an actor, please focus on acting, otherwise you will be asked to go back and continue to be your boy group."

With a "bang", Zhou Xu slapped the table and said angrily: "That's a waste of time. I think you think I'm so easy to talk to. I'll leave the words here today, either tell her to get out, or I will break the contract and stop acting. If you use her or me, you can choose it yourself!"

Now the person in charge of the crew started to feel embarrassed. You should know that Zhou Xu is very popular, and they are all young girls. They can drive a good wave of fan traffic for the promotion of TV series. If you lose him for an unknown actress, it would be a bit unworthy...

Zhou Xu also saw this, so he sat down calmly, lit a tiny and started to smoke leisurely. The person in charge said to Xu Xiwei: "Director Xu, why don't you be busy signing the contract for the time being today. Let's try other actresses, and you can always pick one or two good ones."

"That's right."

Zhou Xu sneered: "You can choose it for me. If you are not a top-tier female star, don't take it in front of me."

Seeing that Jiang Xingxing had finally won the opportunity, he was about to waste. She immediately came over and won the opportunity for herself: "Director Xu, although I am not famous now, please believe me. I will definitely act well. I will do my best to act well. Even if... even if the salary is low, it doesn't matter."

Zhou Xu snorted coldly: "Look, look, this is the level of supporting roles. Reducing the pay is to reduce your own value. In order to gain my popularity, I really do everything I can."

Jiang Xingxing looked at him angrily: "I won't take advantage of your popularity, because sooner or later, I will be more popular than you."

Zhou Xu laughed: "I said, are you so stupid? You can say such shameless words."

...

At this moment, several directors surrounded the business ring in suits and tie and walked into the Leyu Film and Television Media Company.

The director introduced him to the office: "Mr. Shang, please rest in the office for a while. I'll go over and see if they are ready."

"Um."

Shang Jie sat straight on the red-skinned sofa, looked at the mirror next to him, and then took care of the tie between his neck.

Linchuan looked at his boss and thought to himself what he was doing. His family was lukewarm and cold to others, and he always made people look at you with a cold butt. Now he ran over to watch him act.

Even the directors below would never have imagined that the actress would work to the top decision-makers of the head office to come in person if they were auditioned for signing contracts.

Is the boss so idle?

However, since Shang Jie has arrived, even the smallest thing has become a big deal.

Now every director is very nervous, afraid that something will go wrong in any link and make Shang Jie unhappy, that will really die of death!

"What's going on!"

The director walked into the audition room on the set: "The boss is here, waiting to see. You haven't put on makeup or changed your clothes. What are you doing!"

The person in charge hurriedly stepped forward and explained the current situation to his boss-

"Mr. Zhou Xu is unwilling to cooperate with Miss Jiang Xingxing, and now he hopes to unilaterally break the contract."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xu quickly defended himself: "It's not me who wanted to break the contract. It was you who forced me to make a fuss for me to play my heroine. This is an insult to me."

"how so."

The director said to the person in charge: "Troubleshoot immediately, the person from above is still waiting for the heroine to audition."

"So the boss is here."

Zhou Xu smiled faintly: "It's just right. Let your boss come to see me. I want to talk to him about this. It's better to change this mentally retarded director for me."

Of course, no one paid attention to him.

Xu Xiwei murmured silently in his heart: "Idiot."

The person in charge whispered to the director: "How can you bother the one above to come here in person when signing a contract?"

"How could I know? Maybe it was a whim and I gave myself a half-day vacation."

The person in charge: "Or as Zhou Xu said... I can invite Chu Yue back to sign the contract."

Xu Xiwei hurriedly said, "No, the female lead I have decided is Jiang Xingxing, so I can't change it casually."

The person in charge said without caring: "The special matter is handled. As long as the crew can start the filming smoothly, it is just an actress. Chu Yue is not unable to act, and she is still popular. The most important thing now is that the boss must explain it."

Xu Xiwei: "I object to this matter. The boss is there and asks me to talk to him."

The director doesn’t care about whether an actress or not. As long as he can get a job with Shang Jie, he can do whatever he wants: “As you said, call that Chu and others to sign the contract.”

Zhou Xu snapped his fingers with satisfaction: "Look, the leader is still doing things well, thank you."

...

Shang Jie was a little anxious when he was waiting in the office. While watching films, TV and magazines, he would occasionally turn his head to look at himself in the mirror.

Although Linchuan really wants to say that you don’t have to see you, you are already handsome enough today, and the wife is with you every day and every day. She has seen you all the way, so why pay so much attention to the moment?

But he thought again and again that it is understandable that the guy who fell in love without knowing it, and some people even have even more than that. After thinking about it, he stopped complaining.

Linchuan went out silently and said to the anxious director outside the door: "Mr. Shang has been waiting for forty minutes. Do you need to prepare for so long?"

The director was like an ant on a hot pan, and naturally became more anxious and said repeatedly: "Come soon, come soon."

At this time, the person in charge ran out of breath and said, "When the person arrives, you can arrange an audition immediately. Please move to the third floor studio area."

Linchuan entered the house and told Shang Jie that Shang Jie stood up and left, but he had not forgotten to take a good look in front of the appearance mirror, and then he left the door.

A group of board members in suits and ties opened the way and took him to the set, and the male and female protagonists in the set were ready.
