Everyone sat down at the table.

Shen Fang picked up his wine glass and looked at the delicious food on the table.

"Thank you, Sister Manyu, for making such a big table of delicious food."

Man Shen smiled and pointed at Zeng Li, Xu Qing, and Qin Hailu.

"Xiaoli, Xiaoqing, and Hailu all helped."

Shen Fang looked at the three of them.

"Then I would also like to thank the three beautiful ladies for their hard work in preparing such a sumptuous dinner for us. Thank you."

Zeng Li smiled and said, "We're just helping out; it's mainly Sister Manyu who does the work."

"Come on, let's have a drink. Welcome Brother Bin and Sister Hong to our Longteng family. From now on, they will be our Longteng stewards. You must work together sincerely to create a better tomorrow."

Everyone clinked glasses.

"Sister Hong, I'm entrusting Manyu's management business to you. We won't be taking on any film or television projects for now, and we won't be accepting any commercial performances with excessively low prices."

Chang Jihong nodded: "I understand, President Shen."

"Manyu, are you planning to rest? Or are you planning to gradually retire? Or stop acting?" Zhang Guoli asked Manyu.

Man Shen took a sip of red wine: "I'm taking a break for now, mainly because I'm preparing to get married. I'll be 40 soon, and if I don't get married now, I'll really miss my chance."

Xu Qing was pleasantly surprised to hear what Man Shen said.

"Sister Manyu, are you thinking of getting married?"

Manshen smiled: "Yes, but I don't know if we can find a suitable one."

"Sis, whatever kind you want, I'll definitely find you a suitable one."

Upon hearing this, Man Shen rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment.

"Actually, I don't know what kind of person I like."

Sinking Square.....

“Sister Maggie, you have to say what you want. How can I help you find it if you don’t tell me?”

Mans smiled and said, "I quite like someone like you, little brother, but unfortunately I'm too old."

Sinking Square...

"Sis, don't joke around, you're planning to make me sleep in the study tonight, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Manyu giggled.

"Sleeping in the study? Is Arlene really that jealous? She's even jealous of me?"

Shen Fang nodded: "It's huge."

Upon hearing this, Chen Huilin immediately pinched Shen Fang's soft flesh.

"What did you say?"

Shen Fang shrugged and looked at everyone.

"See? They've made their move. I told you so."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Chen Huilin was embarrassed by Shen Fang's actions.

"Hate."

"Next year will be the first year of our Longteng Media's launch. Let's work together to set a good example for our colleagues in the industry."

"Besides the already scheduled films, Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, Qin's Moon, Ming Dynasty, and The Legend of Zhen Huan, as well as Goodbye Vancouver, which are already planned to be filmed next year, Xiao Ming and Dan Chen currently have no projects. Uncle Zhang and Uncle Wang, the screenwriters of your company have already written the script for the Iron-Toothed Ji Xiaolan 3 series, and we can start filming right away."

Zhang Guoli took a bite of food.

"I've read the script, and Lao Wang, Lao Zhang, and I are all quite satisfied. As for Xiao Fang, the female lead in the third installment, we're planning to replace her. I think Xiao Yan and Xiao Ran are quite good."

Yan Danchen and Li Xiaoran were immediately excited. The "Iron Teeth and Bronze Teeth Ji Xiaolan" series is basically among the top three in viewership ratings and has an excellent reputation. If they can appear on it, they are likely to become an instant hit. Most importantly, they will be working with big names in the domestic entertainment industry.

Upon hearing this, Shen Fang stroked his chin. The script for the third season had already removed many of Lu Linlang's negative scenes. In the original third season, Lu Linlang was a troublemaker who directly made the female lead a target of criticism. Everyone who watched it cursed her. Playing this role would not bring popularity to the artist at all, and it was very likely that the person who played this role would be cursed for many years.

In particular, Zhang X ruined her own future and, along with her husband, engaged in pyramid schemes and online sales, deceiving a large number of people. This directly made "The Eloquent Ji Xiaolan 3" a failure of the series.

The new female protagonist, Mingyue, is a stunningly beautiful courtesan framed by a corrupt official and forced into a brothel. She is burdened with a deep-seated hatred and a blood feud. Emperor Qianlong encounters Mingyue during his southern tour, leading to a series of events.

"I think there's no problem. Let the two of them try out the role, and then whoever is suitable can take it."

Li Xiaoran and Yan Danchen stood up and raised their wine glasses, looking at Zhang Guoli and Wang Gang.

"Thank you, Teacher Zhang, Teacher Wang."

Zhang Guoli waved his hand.

"Don't be so polite. We're all part of the same family. I don't like those lousy rules and regulations in the entertainment industry. I've been observing you guys while we were playing mahjong these past few days, and none of you are the kind of people who cause trouble. As long as you focus on acting and perform well, you'll definitely become famous."

"Oh, Uncle Zhang, so there's another reason behind your team building activities?" Shen Fang joked.

Zhang Guoli smiled and said, "I'm the kind of person who likes to read people's expressions and expressions. I guess it's a habit I picked up from filming Ji Xiaolan."

Wang Gang nodded: "It's true, he wasn't like this before. I also developed some bad habits because of filming. After filming 'The Soul of the Forbidden City,' I couldn't get over it for a long time."

"Uncle Zhang, I've heard that Zhang Tielin has a bad habit. For a long time during filming, he thinks he's an emperor and acts arrogantly and domineering towards the people around him."

Zhang Guoli nodded: "That's true. Actually, it's not his fault. It's normal for actors to get into character while filming. He just got a little too into character, which caused an unpleasant incident and even made the news. It's not just him. Your master, Lao Chen, also has this problem. After filming Kangxi, for a long time, he was very arrogant. Don't you think your master is too arrogant? He's incredibly proud wherever he goes."
