Yang Chen pushed Zhao Teng's forehead with his hand, "How did your eyes grow? Do I look like someone who eats young grass from an old cow?"
"Director, you're not old!" Zhao Teng said as he held his head in pain.
"This is my cousin, she has great talent. I have discussed it with Director Lin and asked her to come to our company for professional vocal music and dance training. I want you to arrange for a specialized course for her." Yang Chen said.
The girl really did have the qualifications to become a superstar. Since Lin Ruoxi thought it was okay, then there must be something extraordinary about her. Zhao Teng directly said, "No problem, the music people and dancing teachers we hired are all masters level. We are currently worrying about the lack of outstanding students."
What happened next was much easier to deal with. Yang Chen told Hui Lin to follow Zhao Teng and go directly to Yu Lei Entertainment's recording studio to take the dance class test. Based on their specific strength, they could determine which level to teach from.
Yang Chen couldn't keep Hui Lin company all the time, so he said to Hui Lin, "After you finish your training, call me whenever you want to go back."
Hui Lin said awkwardly, "Can I call my sister?"
Yang Chen was depressed, "Do you really not like me? You want your sister to send you back on the first day? "
"No, I just …"
"Alright, alright. It's up to you." Yang Chen didn't want to hear too many reasons either. He knew that this girl was shy. She would be more at ease with a woman like Lin Ruoxi.
Hui Lin didn't dare to stay with Yang Chen for too long, especially after hearing Zhao Teng talk about his' girlfriend '. She became more shy and scared, feeling that other people thought she was a couple with Yang Chen and felt sorry for Lin Ruoxi.
As for what Yang Chen said about having an affair and getting a divorce, in Hui Lin's opinion, that was a distant matter and she wasn't too sure.
Yang Chen returned to his office. Just as he was about to turn on his computer to play games, Wang Jie knocked on the door and walked in.
With a stack of documents in her hands, Wang Jie asked in embarrassment, "Director, are you free at noon?"
Yang Chen shook his head, "It's fine, what's wrong?"
Wang Jie said awkwardly, "I have a meeting at noon, so logically speaking, I should be fine bringing the driver and assistant over. But since Yu Lei headquarters has an emergency meeting today, I would like to ask the Director to go over for me. I don't know if …"
Recreation? Yang Chen scratched his head. Honestly speaking, he didn't really like this kind of thing. Wang Jie probably knew about it too, so she looked at him helplessly and pitifully.
Yang Chen asked, "Who are they?"
When Wang Jie heard about this, she immediately perked up. "It's a newly established director with a bit of a reputation. His name is Huang Hai, and he's from Shandong. He earned 12 million in the box office for the production of the previous film at a cost of 3 million, so he's quite well-known. "He came to our company on his own initiative, hoping we would invest in a small production of almost five million dollars, probably because he was interested in our fame, and because other big companies didn't have any place for him.
"So, this is him inviting us to talk about it, isn't it?" Yang Chen asked.
"It could be said that we negotiate equally with each other. After all, he has a certain level of strength, so he doesn't have to look for us. It's just that our company has only just started, and a lot of new directors want to work with us. After all, if the first movie succeeds, you can become the director of our company, which is very important for the entertainment company. " Wang Jie explained.
Yang Chen finally understood that Yu Lei Entertainment Company that was just established was a hot spot in the eyes of the rookie directors and actresses. Those who didn't get high treatment in other established big companies all wanted Yu Lei to get the "kudos" treatment of Yu Lei.
"Originally, I wanted to take a look at his script and see how good his character and professional ethics are. If his character and strength isn't a problem, then I will sign a contract with him. But the emergency meeting at the head office is important, and I've always been in charge of the work, so I thought of you, Director. After all, you were the one who negotiated the Sunset Clouds trip to Hong Kong. It should be easy for the director. " Wang Jie even flattered Yang Chen along the way.
Everyone loved to listen to nice words. Although Yang Chen didn't have any good memories when he was in Hong Kong, he still went soft on the ears. After thinking for a while, he said: "Put the documents down, I will come over at noon."
Wang Jie heaved a sigh of relief. If Yang Chen didn't agree, she really didn't know who to call. After all, the company had just been established and they didn't have enough capable people.
After Wang Jie left, Yang Chen picked up the documents and looked at the director Huang Hai's resume as well as his planning work. Finally, they saw that it was noon. It was a place with a small reputation in Zhong Hai, an entertainment club called "Scented Egg".
Seeing this location, Yang Chen frowned. If he remembered correctly, this place was near Bar Street. It was called an entertainment club, but in other words, it was a place for one's voice and expression. Many shameful services were served there. It was unlikely that Wang Jie would be willing to go because of this reason. But she couldn't just drop the job just because the place didn't like it. Therefore, she passed the meeting to Yang Chen. After all, it was not easy for a man to have problems when he went to such an occasion.
At noon, Yang Chen drove alone to the Coconut Association, a shop with a rich southern island state. Although it was already winter, the two welcoming ladies at the entrance were still showing off their white arms and white thighs, only, they were wrapped in thick undergarments.
Inside the clubhouse, there was a corridor decorated with warm colors and two rows of private rooms.
Yang Chen gave the agreed room number and followed the waitress around two corners before arriving at the agreed location.
When he opened the door, there were three craft lamps in the large room. The light was not bright, but not dark either. There was a red sofa, a grey carpet, and a large LCD TV was playing music videos.
Three figures who were originally sitting on the sofa immediately stood up. One of them was a middle-aged tall man with a moustache of about 30. It was the director, Huang Hai. There was also a slightly bald middle-aged man and a beautiful woman with thick makeup.
"Welcome Chief Director Yang, I'm flattered. I didn't think that Director would be willing to come personally." Huang Hai enthusiastically extended his hand and stepped forward to shake Yang Chen's hand.
Yang Chen knew that Wang Jie had purposely said 'he is coming'. This was also a method to make Huang Hai feel that he was being respected.
"You're welcome, Director Huang. Since everyone wants to cooperate, of course we have to show our sincerity." Yang Chen said lightly.
Huang Hai repeated his agreement and introduced Yang Chen to the people around him. This is the production that works with me, Luo Changan. "This lady is my wife, and also one of the second-string actors in the industry, Ai Lee. Although she's not very famous, I don't think Chief Director Yang has heard of her before."
Yang Chen understood. She probably wanted Huang Hai to have a future and married him. Now, Huang Hai was truly promising. Therefore, she became the director's wife.
After greeting Luo Changan and Lili, Yang Chen sat down with the three of them. The waiter served them some cakes and wine, as well as three layers of snacks in the shape of an English afternoon tea.
"Don't mind Chief Director Yang. I feel that the traditional method of setting up a table full of food to talk about this movie is still a bit open and inefficient. There are only four of us, so I chose to discuss things here." Huang Hai explained with a smile.
No matter who he put it in, it would always be a good reason. Not only did it make people feel that he was more efficient, it also made people feel that this person was more genuine and reliable.
Yang Chen did not deny and smiled. "Director Huang, there's no need to be so polite. I'm rather a casual person, so let's get down to business."
"Alright, alright, Director. But since this is our first time meeting, we should at least drink a cup. If not, it would be too impolite." Huang Hai called over Ai Lee who was sitting beside him and said with a smile, "Ai Lee, go open the wine cup and pour us a cup."
Ai Lee replied in a charming voice. She gave Yang Chen a flirtatious look and went to the side to open some wine.
Luo Changan took out the planning plan for the new movie and handed it over to Yang Chen with a smile, "Chief Director Yang, I have been in the industry for more than 20 years, so I can guarantee that this movie will definitely sell. As long as we invest enough money and produce an effect, it would be easy for us to get a Golden Statue and a Golden Horse Award."
Yang Chen picked up the movie program to take a look, it was a small cost comedy action film, it was also a popular funny film nowadays, giving off a bit of philosophy.
However, Yang Chen took a closer look at the estimated cost. It was different from the information that Wang Jie had given him. The cost was actually 8 million, which was 3 million more.
"Director Huang, in the proposal that our company's manager showed me, the budget for this movie was only 5 million. How come it suddenly increased by 3 million?" Yang Chen stared into Huang Hai's eyes and did not miss a single detail.
