Chapter 322: Money Tree

Chapter 322: Money Tree

He is a screenwriter, and his way of repaying his boss is of course to write excellent scripts for his boss, making him more famous and earning more money.

After thinking about it for so long, Liang Jiafeng already had an idea in mind. Now was the best time to repay his boss.

Not to mention that his boss is very generous. In addition to the high salary given to him by the company, his boss also gives him a generous bonus every year.

If you follow a boss like this and don't work hard, you are destined to never be successful in your life.

Liang Jiafeng didn't mention the new script right away. Instead, he went back to edit the manuscript, tinkering with it wherever he saw any imperfections. He had watched several of his boss's films and knew his strengths and weaknesses. Since this script was specifically crafted for him, he naturally had to maximize his strengths and perfectly conceal his weaknesses.

Liang Jiafeng became more and more excited as he revised the script, and planned to write it to perfection before showing it to his boss for review.

Shengshi Entertainment has a large layout, and artists are the most important part of it. Therefore, in order to cultivate good artists, the company has specially built training rooms and practice rooms.

The training room is used to give performing arts lessons to artists, while the practice room is used to practice martial arts or dance, etc.

Hu Xiaoxiao passed by the training room and heard Jiang Muyang's voice before entering. His voice was good and very recognizable, but - his Baogang dialect was too bad.

No matter how nice the voice is or how well the lines are spoken, if the language is not standard, even the best acting skills will be greatly reduced and will make people lose interest in the play instantly.

Hu Xiaoxiao stood there for a while, and was about to go to the training room when Jiang Muyang saw her. He shouted "Sister Xiao" and walked out, "Sister Xiao! Why don't you give us a lesson?"

"Let the teacher teach you." The acting teacher taught much better than her. Her acting relied purely on technique and there was nothing to teach.

Jiang Muyang has a pair of deep and affectionate eyes. When she smiles, her eyes naturally bend slightly, as if she is laughing. "Sister Xiao, I have always liked your plays. I wonder if I would have the honor to act with you?"

"Of course you can. I'll let you be the male lead in the next movie and support you." Hu Xiaoxiao has a particularly good attitude towards good seedlings, because these good seedlings can make her a lot of money if they are cultivated.

They are all her cash cows.

Jiang Muyang originally just wanted to make himself familiar to his boss, but he didn't expect to actually get the role, and even the male lead. He was so happy that he didn't know what to do, but Hu Xiaoxiao poured a bucket of cold water on him.

"But your Baogang dialect is too bad. If you don't practice your dialect well before filming the next movie, I will have to find someone else to be the male lead." Hu Xiaoxiao said.

Jiang Muyang was anxious and quickly explained, "Sister Xiao, I have been learning Baogang dialect from my teacher. When I first came to Baogang, I couldn't speak a word and couldn't understand what I heard. Now I can understand 70% to 80% and can speak quite a bit. Sister Xiao, I will practice hard, you must give me a chance."

"Okay, it depends on your performance." Hu Xiaoxiao looked at the other artists in the training room and said, "You too, whoever performs best will be in the next play."

After saying that, he walked towards the training room.

Jiang Muyang didn't dare to be careless anymore, and hurried to learn Baogang dialect, trying to speak standard dialect before the filming of Hu Xiaoxiao's new play started.

Other artists also rushed to get involved, trying to hone their acting skills and secure good roles in new dramas.

At the door of the training room, Hu Xiaoxiao looked for a while and then left.

The company lacks a martial arts instructor, and good ones are hard to find. Talent is scarce. Renowned martial arts instructors are far fewer than renowned directors, and even with money, it's hard to poach talent.

Hu Xiaoxiao received a call from Gao Zhiyuan, asking her to play cards together. She originally wanted to refuse, but when she heard that they were still going to Director Shao's house to play cards, she thought about it and agreed.

"Cheng Zhaofeng" made a lot of money for the film company. Producer Tang Shikuan wanted to invite Hu Xiaoxiao to shoot the second part more than once, but Hu Xiaoxiao declined.

It's not that she doesn't like the sequel, but how should the sequel be made? Find a few more people like Yu Cong and Zeng Xuelin to beat her half to death?

There will be losses when filming, but this loss is used on people... Even if she is not a human, she cannot do such an inhuman thing.

Since it is difficult to replicate, why bother to damage your reputation?

I brought a bag of fruits and snacks to Director Shao's house. Gao Zhiyuan had already arrived and was drinking tea.

"Why are you carrying so many things again?" Shao Yitao poured a cup of tea for Hu Xiaoxiao.

Hu Xiaoxiao said, "Aren't we playing cards? What if I get hungry while playing? So, bring your own snacks."

Shao Yitao immediately took out a large bag of snacks and said, "Do you still need food? Look, it's specially prepared for you."

Hu Xiaoxiao opened it and took a few glances, then smiled and said, "Hey, this is really what I like to eat. Thank you, Director Shao."

"No need to thank me, it wasn't me who bought it, it was my wife." Shao Yitao explained the reason: "Every time you bring something, she and the kids say it's delicious and they can't get enough of it, so they buy bag after bag of it specifically for home. But she has a big heart but a small appetite, so she bought so much and didn't finish it, then said she was tired of it and threw it to me, asking me to finish it off. But I don't like snacks, so what can I do?"

These words made everyone laugh.

Gao Zhiyuan smiled and said, "You know what, Xiaoxiao has good taste, everything he buys is delicious. When the crew started working, the staff were all wondering what delicious food Xiaoxiao would bring today."

Shao Yitao shook his head and said, "I think Mingxu has led him astray. Mingxu used to like bringing snacks to the set when he was filming, and he would hide them everywhere, which attracted many mice to bite the equipment."

Shao Yitao told about Mingxu's embarrassing moments at the TV station, and then lamented that no one would have thought that the silly boy who only loved to eat back then has now become a superstar.

"You have trained two superstars in a row, Mingxu and Xiaoxiao. If I were you, I would have no regrets in this life." Gao Zhiyuan said to Shao Yitao.

Shao Yitao waved his hand, his words downplayed, but the smugness in his eyes was unmistakable. "What's the point of raising a superstar? You're still going to get paid this little and live in an old, run-down house?"

Hu Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to suggest, "If Director Shao wants to change jobs, he can come to Shengshi. Shengshi has good benefits and a high salary. Director Gao, you can come too. If you're willing, just name your price."

Gao Zhiyuan had originally wanted to recruit Hu Xiaoxiao to star in his new film, but unexpectedly, Hu Xiaoxiao recruited him first. He was left in a state of confusion, "I have shares in my current company. If I go to Shengshi, will you also give me shares?"

"No." Hu Xiaoxiao said honestly, and asked Shao Yitao if he was willing to come over.

Shao Yitao said regretfully, "If it were a few years ago, I would have fought with you young people, but now I am old and can't walk anymore, so I will stay at the TV station to retire."
