Chapter 36 Chapter 36

Sun Hongfei was very satisfied after getting Gao Shen's guarantee.

It's easy to talk to a smart person.

In order to prevent any trouble, he immediately found someone from the investment department. Because of Tang Ling's instructions, all procedures were greenlit. If there were no accidents, the money would reach Gao Shen's crew within a week.

Of course, the most important thing was that he completed the task perfectly.

On the surface, he not only let General Manager Gu get what he needed most at the moment, but also did not go against General Manager Wen's request to expose the matter.

But in fact, he asked someone to pass on the message to the people of Mengyu Film and Television, asking them to withdraw voluntarily, and at the same time he took the initiative to call Director Gao to finalize the role.

With Mr. Gu's intelligence, he would definitely realize that something was wrong. Gao Shen

didn't need to say anything, he would definitely find out that someone was helping him behind the scenes, and he would definitely know that besides Mr. Wen, who else would help him without expecting anything in return.

In fact, Sun Hongfei even added investment in Tiancheng Video for insurance purposes.

Even if Mr. Gu didn't think of Mr. Wen for the moment, he would definitely be moved after seeing Tiancheng and feeling Mr. Wen's implicit love for him!

It can be said that it kills three birds with one stone.

Sun Hongfei even thought that he was a genius to come up with this idea! Thinking

of this, he hummed a song and prepared to go to the tea room to pour himself a cup of coffee. Who knew that as soon as he walked over, he saw his nemesis Jin Shiheng standing in the tea room.

He and Jin Shiheng entered the company at the same time, but they were at odds since they entered the company.

In the early days, Sun Hongfei only knew how to do things stupidly and didn't work hard on interpersonal relationships at all, while Jin Shiheng was completely the opposite of him, smart and good at maneuvering. Whenever there was something to show in front of the leader, he would be the first to rush up and do it.

Later, Jin Shiheng was appreciated by the leader and was quickly promoted. Compared to Sun Hongfei, who was still just a small supervisor, he had already reached the position of deputy manager.

Jin Shiheng had heard that Orange Video might establish a new department, and the manager of the new department would basically be selected from these deputy managers.

Who would want to be suppressed all the time if they could be the boss of the new department?

Jin Shiheng used all means and finally defeated his competitors one by one.

However, just when he was looking forward to entering the new department, Sun Hongfei suddenly appeared, and with the appreciation of General Wen, he was directly promoted

three levels and snatched the position of manager of the new department. Jin Shiheng was so angry that he almost vomited three liters of blood.

He spent so much effort, but he was making wedding clothes for others, and this person was Sun Hongfei, whom he looked down upon, which made him even more uncomfortable.

Looking at the smile on Sun Hongfei's face, Jin Shiheng felt resentful in his heart, but he could only smile and said: "Manager Sun is really in a good mood!"

Sun Hongfei was robbed of credit by Jin Shiheng several times in his early years because he was not good at talking, and he always kept it in his mind.

Now that he finally got his revenge, he naturally wouldn't miss the chance to fight back. He said calmly, "Isn't it? So, God is fair. You don't have to take any crooked paths. As long as you have a good vision and work hard, promotion will come naturally. Don't you agree, Deputy Manager Jin?"

He even emphasized the word "deputy".

Jin Shiheng was so angry that his back teeth almost broke. He lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Sun, don't be so proud. It's not certain whether you can sit in this position steadily."

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Sun Hongfei didn't take his threat seriously. He was now like this: With President Gu in hand, he could laugh at the mad dog.

As long as he followed President Gu firmly, he didn't have to worry about anything.

Meanwhile, Gu Xingshi, who was touched by Sun Hongfei, was asking Qin Wen about his audition experience.

Qin Wen honestly said, "I think the director is very satisfied, but..."

He didn't say the rest.

But Gu Xingshi also knew that the previous auditions were also like this, the director was very satisfied, but in the end the role was given to someone else.

This time, although Gu Xingshi used some tricks to scare away the default actor, he was still unsure in his heart.

He could only comfort Qin Wen: "It's okay, just take it as a lesson, we are here to test the waters, we still have a few auditions later..."

Before he finished speaking, the casting director hurried out. When he saw them, his eyes lit up: "Great! Mr. Gu, you haven't left yet!"

Gu Xingshi looked at him with some confusion: "What's wrong? Is there any problem with our Qin Wen's audition?"

"No, no, Xiao Qin's performance is very good." The casting director whispered, "Please go to the next room and wait for a while. Director Gao wants to discuss something with you."

This has never happened before.

Gu Xingshi and Qin Wen looked at each other, both a little puzzled, but still agreed, and followed the casting director to the next room.

They didn't wait long, Gao Shen walked in.

Gao Shen is tall and thin, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and looks inconspicuous.

As soon as he saw Gu Xingshi, he greeted him enthusiastically: "Mr. Gu! I've heard a lot about you."

Gu Xingshi was shocked by his enthusiasm and was a beat slow to react.

Gao Shen didn't care at all, and continued to praise: "Xiao Qin's performance is really excellent, Mr. Gu is really good at training, and I am grateful that you think highly of him and put such an important debut in our crew..."

Gao Shen remembered Sun Hongfei's request and didn't reveal Mr. Wen behind him.

However, Gu Xingshi gradually heard the meaning.

Gao Shen's attitude changed suddenly, thinking that he had some powerful backer behind him.

Ah...

did the rumor spread so quickly? !

Gu Xingshi was shocked.

Originally, he was worried that it would not succeed, so he prepared one, two, three plans.

This time, he was just testing the waters, and he didn't think it would succeed.

Who knew he hadn't even tried yet!

Just a few details, not only scared away the people from Mengyu Film and Television, but also scared the director? !

And Director Gao was so confident, as if he knew who was backing him.

Isn't this a bit too much? ? He himself doesn't even know!!

You people in the entertainment industry, do you have some special talent in brainstorming?

Gu Xingshi felt that his head was hit by this pie and turned around.

But he couldn't show any flaws. He could only stick to the principle of saying less and making fewer mistakes, and behaved very reservedly.

Then...

Gao Shen became more convinced.

Not long after the previous manager Sun finished speaking, someone from the investment department of Orange Video contacted him to discuss investment intentions with him.

This efficiency confused Gao Shen, and it also shows how much the other party values ​​this general manager Gu.

Thinking back to the beginning, he begged for investment, not to mention how difficult the process was. Even if he got it, it was common for subsequent payments to be delayed or even withdrawn midway.

And now, he just paid the price of the third male position.

Oh, that's not right.

It can't be called paying, after all, Qin Wen's acting skills are more than enough to play the third male.

Looking at it this way, he is completely taking advantage!

This makes Gao Shen, who has always been used to it, feel a little embarrassed, so he carefully asked Gu Xingshi: "Mr. Gu, do you have any opinions on this role?"

Gu Xingshi was confused again.

Huh?

Is there such a treatment?

Isn't the backer that Director Gao has added a little too outrageous? ?

He also asked cautiously: "Can I ask for anything?"

Gao Shen: "Yes, yes, you say."

Gu Xingshi: "It's like this, regarding the role of Yu Changyan, we feel that the setting is a bit too thin. I wonder if Director Gao can trouble you to add a few scenes for this role to try to enrich the character?"

"Well..." Gao Shen nodded, waited for a while, and didn't hear Gu Xingshi speak again, and was immediately surprised, "Just... just like that? It's okay, Mr. Gu, you can be bolder. "

Gu Xingshi: "..."

He felt that he was already very bold.

He also felt a little guilty, and quickly added: "It doesn't need too many, four or five scenes, or three or four scenes will do. If it really doesn't work, it doesn't matter, everything is based on the whole story."

Gao Shen: TAT

God!

What kind of a god-like sponsor is this!!!

He couldn't help but think of the monsters who were stuffed into the group in the past.

They were not high-ranking, but they had a lot of things to do. When he thought about it, he burst into tears. If every resource -

rich person was like Qin Wen, he would only shout: "Modo Modo!!"

"Boss Gu!"

"Director Gao!"

The two held hands tightly.

Both parties felt that they had taken advantage and were very satisfied.

"Happy cooperation!" -Shooting will start soon after the role is confirmed. This is the first time Qin Wen has participated in the opening ceremony. Gu Xingshi was worried that he was nervous, so he took the initiative to accompany him. The two arrived at Shanyang Film and Television City and checked into the hotel that the crew had booked long ago. Gu Xingshi thought that the investment in this play was not too high, and the accommodation should not be very good. After the results came, I found that although the hotel's specifications were not very high, it was clean and tidy, and the crew generously booked the entire hotel. Qin Wen, the third male lead, was assigned a nice suite. Not long after the two put down their luggage, Gu Xingshi received a call from Sun Hongfei. "Boss Gu, are you in Shanyang Film City now?" Gu Xingshi was a little puzzled: "How did you know?" Sun Hongfei smiled in his heart, that was of course because everything was under my control. But he pretended to know it: "Hey, our Sweet Orange Video is also one of the investors of Director Gao's drama. We were invited to attend the opening ceremony. I only knew that you, Mr. Gu, were here because Director Gao told me." Gu Xingshi didn't think much about it: "Oh, what a coincidence." Hiss - that's not right, why is Mr. Gu's reaction so calm. Sun Hongfei frowned. Wasn't his hint obvious enough? So he said: "Actually, we didn't plan to invest in this drama. It was Mr. Wen who saw its potential and insisted on investing..." This is obvious enough. However, Gu Xingshi's reaction was even calmer: "Oh, then your Mr. Wen has a good vision." Sun Hongfei: "???" This is completely different from what he imagined. Why did Mr. Gu mention Mr. Wen as if he were a stranger? No! Very wrong! Could it be that something went wrong with the investment that made Mr. Gu unhappy? Sun Hongfei immediately stood up and walked towards the investment department, but after asking, he found out that the money had already been transferred and there was no dispute. Things were out of control, and Sun Hongfei was suddenly a little panicked. He had finally worked for Mr. Wen, and he couldn't mess things up! He originally planned to go there on the day of the power-on ceremony, but now he felt that he had to go there immediately to find out what had happened. So he hurriedly left the investment department, called the administration to book a flight, and went back to arrange the department's internal affairs for the next few days. He left in a hurry and didn't notice that after he left, a figure flashed out of the room next to him. Jin Shiheng was supposed to come to the investment department today to deliver a document, but he saw Sun Hongfei coming in as soon as he walked out. But as far as he knew, the only thing that Sun Hongfei was doing recently in the External Cooperation Department was the "Star Dance Stage" in cooperation with Xiao Ning of Xingmao, which should have nothing to do with the investment department. What was he doing here? Jin Shiheng was suspicious, so he took advantage of him not noticing and hid in a small room next to him. But not long after, he hurried out again, making a phone call while walking, as if asking the administration to book a ticket for him or something.

Seeing his grim expression, Jin Shiheng's first reaction was that something had happened.

Then he was overjoyed.

If he could find out what happened to Sun Hongfei, wouldn't he be able to bring him down?

Without him blocking the way, the External Cooperation Department would be his own!

The more Jin Shiheng thought about it, the more excited he became, so he turned back to the Investment Department to find out what Sun Hongfei was doing.

The Investment Department had received Tang Ling's instructions, so naturally they wouldn't say a word.

However, the more they did this, the more Jin Shiheng felt that there must be something wrong here.

After he left the Investment Department, he found the Administration Department and spent a lot of effort to finally find out Sun Hongfei's destination.

- Shanyang Film and Television City.

Jin Shiheng was even more confused.

What was Sun Hongfei doing in the Film and Television City?

He suddenly had an intuition.

As long as he knew Sun Hongfei's purpose, he might also know what method Sun Hongfei used to impress President Wen.

So, he immediately went back to ask for leave, and then bought the same plane as Sun Hongfei, intending to follow him to Shanyang Film and Television City to find out.

-At

this time, Gu Xingshi was attending the script reading meeting before the start of filming with Qin Wen.

On the one hand, it was to familiarize himself with the script, and on the other hand, it was to meet other actors in the same group in advance.

The actor of the male lead in this drama is named Jiang Hanjing. He used to be a professional second male lead. This is his first time to be the male lead, and his attitude is very humble.

The actor of the female lead is named Xia Ruoying, a young flower who has been on the rise recently. She is cheerful and lively, and very dedicated. She has memorized the script before joining the group.

They were about the same age as Qin Wen, so they quickly became familiar with each other.

Several leading actors had already arrived, only the actor who played the villain had not yet arrived.

His name was Wu Tao, and he played a supporting role in a classic hit drama in his early years, which left a deep impression on the audience.

However, after he became famous, he started to show off. His acting skills were not good. No matter what he played, he was always the same. He did not manage his figure and became fat and greasy. However, relying on the audience's filter for that role, he has always lived a comfortable life.

Director Gao also knew his temper, and depressedly asked someone to call him to urge him.

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a man with a sallow face and heavy dark circles under his eyes walked in.

He seemed to be completely unaware that he was late. He greeted everyone with a joking face, then sat down and began to complain: "Director Gao, this script reading meeting is too old-fashioned. Many crews don't do this anymore!"

Gao Shen said lightly: "I can't control other crews, but in my crew, you have to listen to my rules."

Wu Tao's face froze slightly, and then he laughed and said: "Oh, I was just joking, Director Gao, don't be so serious!"

Gao Shen didn't pursue it any further, but continued to talk about the script.

However, Wu Tao was obviously a little distracted, and his fingers were always pressing the phone underneath, as if he was chatting with someone.

Gu Xing frowned subconsciously.

He felt a familiar, melon-like scent from Wu Tao.

Sure enough, the next second, the system popped up: [Host! We really have the same mind! This is a big melon! ! ]

Gu Xingshi: […]

System: [I know you are speechless, but don’t be speechless, listen to me. ]

[Do you know why Wu Tao came so late? ]

Gu Xingshi resigned himself to accepting the baptism of the melon: [I don’t know, you tell me. ]

System: [Because Wu Tao was gambling in Macau and Hong Kong last night, and lost so much that his eyes turned red. It was not easy for him to be dragged onto the plane by the agent. Moreover, he not only gambled, but also owed a huge amount of money. Now the creditors are demanding repayment! ]

Gu Xingshi looked at Wu Tao and found that his brows were wrinkled and beads of sweat appeared on his face.

The system continued: [In order to pay back the money, he not only accepted this drama, but also didn't care about the scripts. He would take any role as long as there was money. However, the salary was just a drop in the bucket compared to his huge gambling debt, so he thought of another vicious trick.]

[He planned to secretly take indecent photos of his co-stars and sell them on the black market. In particular, Jiang Hanjing and Xia Ruoying were the most popular actors he had met so far. Otherwise, how could he come to the script reading meeting honestly?]

Gu Xingshi: [Shameless! !]

At this moment, Wu Tao suddenly stood up: "Director Gao, I want to go to the bathroom."

Gao Shen was very unhappy to be interrupted by him, but he didn't think much about it. He waved his hand and let him go.

The system suddenly became excited: [Host!! Wu Tao's creditor is urging him again. He doesn't have much time, so he plans to go back and get a pinhole camera and install it in the toilet!!]

Gu Xingshi's face sank.

This kind of cancer must not be allowed to stay in the crew.

Thinking of this, he asked the system to help him follow Wu Tao, then stood up, walked to Director Gao, and whispered: "Director Gao, I have something to discuss with you, is it convenient?"

Gao Shen had a very good attitude towards the financial sponsor Gu Xingshi, and immediately said: "Convenient, convenient."

Gu Xingshi pulled him aside and pretended to be worried and said: "I heard before that some sasaeng fans would sneak into the idol's hotel and install pinhole cameras in the idol's room. I'm really worried..."

Gao Shen didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Mr. Gu, don't worry about this. I was afraid of such a problem at the time, so I booked the entire hotel. Except for our own people in our crew, no one else can come in."

Aren't the ones he's worried about worried!

Gu Xingshi was not discouraged and continued, "That's what you said, but these fanatical fans are always radical. Who can think of what they will do? Look, Xiao Jiang and Xiao Xia in our crew are so popular. What if one or two fans like that appear here? Wouldn't that be a problem?"

Gao Shen hesitated and said, "That's not the case. I went to Xiao Jiang's room yesterday and saw the assistant checking the whole room! They are so careful, there shouldn't be any problems."

This hit the mark of Gu Xingshi's plan. He quickly said, "What you said makes sense, but what if they didn't install it in the room, but in a public facility? Like a toilet or something? Moreover, even if it has nothing to do with Xiao Jiang and Xiao Xia, what if there are other artists who have lived there before?"

"I think we should check it now. It won't alarm too many people, and it won't take too much time. It will also make everyone feel more at ease."

Although Gao Shen felt that Gu Xingshi was a little too cautious, he was the sponsor after all, so he just fulfilled this harmless request.

Besides, Wu Tao hadn't come back yet, and the script reading meeting couldn't go on.

So he agreed to Gu Xingshi's request and let the actors take a break. He took a few staff members and went to the toilet on this floor with Gu Xingshi.

The system was still diligently reporting Wu Tao's movements to Gu Xingshi: […He has already installed the men's restroom, and since no one has noticed him, he has grown bolder and has now entered the women's restroom! ]

[He has already installed the camera in the first cubicle, and now he has entered the second cubicle! ]

Gu Xingshi heard this and immediately quickened his pace.

Gao Shen could only follow him helplessly.

When they arrived at the toilet door, Gao Shen subconsciously wanted to go to the men's restroom, but Gu Xingshi called him in a low voice: "Director Gao, why don't we start with the women's restroom first."

Gao Shen nodded and said to the two female staff members: "You go in and take a look."

The two female staff members were holding pinhole detectors in their hands, which Gao Shen had borrowed from Jiang Hanjing and the others.

After the two walked in, Gu Xingshi and the others waited outside.

Not long after, the sound of the pinhole detector "beeping" came from inside.

Gao Shen: "!!!"

There really is one!!

He could not wait any longer and rushed into the toilet with his men.

The pinhole detectors in the hands of the two female staff members were still beeping, and they were frightened and pale. When they saw Gao Shen and his men coming in, they seemed to have a backbone and pointed to the middle compartment tremblingly: "There... There is someone inside. We asked who it was, but no one answered, and the noise is the loudest in here!"

Gao Shen's face suddenly darkened. While motioning for the two of them to go out and call the police, he gestured to the cameramen who followed them to block the door.

Then he raised his voice: "Who are you! Come out! Otherwise we will kick the door!"

At this time, the sound of the toilet flushing suddenly came from the second cubicle.

Oh no!

This is to destroy the evidence!

Gao Shen and others immediately rushed forward and planned to kick the door directly.

At this time, the door was opened and Wu Tao walked out as if nothing had happened.

Gao Shen looked at him in disbelief: "Why are you here?! How did you end up in the women's restroom!!"

Wu Tao pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I was in a hurry to go to the restroom and accidentally went to the wrong place." Then, he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Director Gao, what are you doing with all this fuss?"

Gao Shen replied coldly, "We found someone installed a pinhole camera here."

Wu Tao pretended to be shocked, "What! Who did this? It's so shameless!" Then he cried out, "Director Gao, you won't doubt me, will you?"

He seemed to have suffered a great injustice, and opened his hands, "I'm innocent, you can search me and see if you can find any evidence!"

Just now everyone heard the sound of the toilet flushing.

How could there be evidence on him!

Gao Shen asked a photographer to crawl into the first cubicle and take down the camera wearing gloves: "Whether it is true or not, we will know by checking fingerprints."

Wu Tao, however, acted fearless: "Okay! Go ahead and check!"

He just wore gloves on purpose, so there is no way he could leave fingerprints.

Gao Shen obviously guessed this, and his face was extremely ugly.

If Wu Tao refused to admit it and insisted that he went to the wrong toilet, there would be no way to deal with him without evidence!

With Wu Tao's rogue character, he might even turn the tables on them!

At this time, Gu Xingshi came out and said calmly: "Why are you only checking the women's toilet? Why don't you check the

men's toilet next door as well?" He looked at Wu Tao and showed a harmless smile, "What if this is the first time to do this, and you are not experienced at the beginning, it is possible that you forgot to wear gloves."

"You agree, right, Teacher Wu?"

Wu Tao's face changed immediately.
