Chapter 54 Chapter 54
Sheng Yueqing was the first to know that the company was moving. Although President Gu acted calmly about the matter, as if it was just a casual meal, Sheng Yueqing still took it to heart.
He privately created a new group chat and invited Meng Yuansheng and the other three to join.
Qin Wen was the first to join the group and gave a thumbs up to the group name [President Gu Fans Club].
Meng Yuansheng and Cheng Xin followed suit.
Cheng Xin asked impatiently as soon as he joined the group: [I heard that our company is moving? Has anyone seen the new company address?]
President Gu's number one fan: [I heard it's the second phase of Tiancheng Building. 】
Gu Zong’s No. 1 Poisonous Qin: [I heard gossip from the crew that it’s under the Wen family. This should be very expensive. And I heard that President Wen is building that film and television center. Now many studios are begging to move in. It’s amazing that President Gu can get it! ! ]
Cheng·Don’t Want a Male Mother·Xin: [My baby is so awesome! ]
The three of them said in unison: [Shut up! ]
Meng Yuansheng (rational fan): [I heard that many people in the industry will be here that day. We must make sure to support President Gu! ]
Gu Zong’s No. 1 Poisonous Qin: [That’s right! We are President Gu’s artists. We can’t let outsiders like Ning Wenzhuo and Feng Tingyun steal the limelight! ]
Gu Zong’s No. 1 Fan: [Second! 】
After discussing, several people went their separate ways.
Meanwhile, Wen Yue was flipping through the auction brochure at the auction site. Tang Ling had already learned about all the auction items this time, and reported on the side: "The sixth, eleventh and seventeenth lots are all very suitable as wedding gifts..."
Wen Yue flipped through them as he said, but was not satisfied with any of them. Until he turned back and suddenly stopped.
This is a round, bright orange diamond, bright and eye-catching, like a cut orange, full of freshness, and the sweet fragrance hit him in the face, which instantly reminded him of Gu Xingshi.
The young man's bright eyes and a smile without any haze.
Just as pure and clear as this orange diamond.
Wearing it on him, it should complement each other.
After having this idea, looking at other auction items, he always felt that something was missing.
So, he raised his hand to stop Tang Ling from speaking.
"This."
Tang Ling's pupils trembled. This orange diamond is the most expensive item in tonight's auction. After all, orange diamonds are rare, and there are even fewer of such pure colors.
Of course, this is not the point. The point is that their boss Wen has never given jewelry to anyone!
As the general assistant, Tang Ling knows very well that his boss prefers gems. Whenever he sees a rare gem, he must take it.
What happened today? !
Thinking of some recent rumors circulating in the company, he didn't believe them at first. After all, he was always by Mr. Wen's side, but he never saw him have close contact with anyone. But now seeing this orange diamond, he suddenly became uncertain.
When the orange diamond was officially auctioned, the real thing was even more beautiful than the photo.
Under the light, this orange diamond exuded a clear and warm glow, which was very attractive.
Tang Ling looked at Wen Yue's admiring eyes and thought he had changed his mind, so he said, "Boss Wen, this orange diamond is very pure and its color is very pure. It is very rare. You..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard Wen Yue say, "It's really good."
Tang Ling thought he had changed his mind and hurriedly said, "Then..."
Wen Yue: "Ask Lancelot to design a brooch with it and send it before Boss Gu moves."
Tang Ling: "...Yes."
-
Soon it will be the day for the relocation of Leshi Company.
The equipment and other things had been moved there a few days ago. Early in the morning, Gu Xingshi led the company's employees to start busying themselves to welcome the guests.
His four artists followed behind him.
The four of them had their styles specially made today. At first glance, they were handsome in their own ways, which was very shocking.
The guests who came this time included most of the industry in Beijing, from big companies to small studios, and all levels of the film, television and music circles were not left out. The flower baskets of congratulations almost filled the entire corridor.
Some people in the industry originally looked down on Le Shi, a "small company", until they came to the scene and were shocked.
Who would have thought that in just over a year, Le Shi would grow to its current level without anyone noticing.
And there are many famous people among them.
For example, the movie queen Yuan Qingqing, the gold medal agent Liang Wenjun, the top streamer Shen Yu, the great director Feng Tingyun, and the business newcomer Ning Wenzhuo who has been in the limelight recently... and so on.
Many people were instantly glad that they had come here for the right reason. This was not a Qiao Qian banquet, but a gathering of industry leaders!
The climax of the atmosphere was the arrival of Wen Yue.
Although there were rumors that President Wen would come, many people still did not believe it. After all, President Wen was very busy and rarely attended gatherings of industry leaders, let alone such a Qiao Qian banquet.
However, Wen Yue not only came, but also brought an extremely valuable gift.
When the box was opened to reveal the dazzling orange diamond brooch inside, many people at the scene gasped.
Many people in the industry knew that Wen Yue liked to collect gems, and he protected them like a dragon.
Not long ago, they heard that Wen Yue had bought a priceless orange diamond at an auction. At that time, they just thought that he had one more collection, but he didn’t expect that it was a gift for Gu Xingshi? !
Many people looked at Gu Xingshi with different eyes.
Only Sun Hongfei was excited: a priceless orange diamond! And it’s a brooch!! A brooch!!
The place where a brooch is worn is the closest to the heart, what does it represent! Of course it’s love!
Meng Yuansheng and others behind Gu Xingshi were also stunned.
They were on guard against Feng Tingyun and Ning Wenzhuo, but they didn’t expect Wen Yue to appear!
When Gu Xingshi saw the brooch, his eyes lit up. Even though he didn't know much about gemstones, he could tell how valuable the brooch was. So he could only wave his hands reluctantly and said, "This is too valuable. I can't accept it."
Wen Yue thought that the help Gu Xingshi gave him was definitely worth more than the brooch.
But these things were confidential and could not be said in public, so he could only say, "It is not expensive for you."
After he finished speaking, he put down the box containing the brooch and turned to leave.
Gu Xingshi grabbed the box, looked at his back affectionately, and shouted madly: [System! I'm rich! ! Give me a dozen more of these wealthy and generous sponsors, hahahahaha! ]
System: [......]
And this scene fell into the eyes of others -
Sun Hongfei: "!!!"
If this is not love! ! ! !
Others: "..."
Did you just eat a mouthful of dog food?
-After
that day, Gu Xingshi found that his popularity in the circle seemed to be better, and he was able to do things more smoothly than before.
He couldn't help but sigh to the system: [It seems that the feng shui of this place is very good, it will bring good luck to me! ]
System: [Uh...]
Gu Xingshi said suspiciously: [Tong, what's wrong with you recently? You always hesitate when you speak, and you are not straightforward at all. ]
The system thought of the gossips about its host, and whether it should be honest and open-minded: [Actually...]
However, before it finished speaking, Sun Hongfei came over.
After moving the company, Gu Xingshi started to prepare for the project with Sun Hongfei.
This was a brand new field for Gu Xingshi, and everything had to be relearned. He followed all the processes from beginning to end, not missing a single detail.
Sun Hongfei was also happy about this, and would come to him for consultation on everything.
This time he came to him to discuss the lead role.
Gu Xingshi actually already had a candidate in mind, and he asked, "What do you think of Miao Yaming?"
Miao Yaming is a well-known veteran actor in the industry, with excellent acting skills and numerous awards. Many of the roles he played were the white moonlight of a lifetime.
However, when he was at the peak of his popularity, he retired from the entertainment industry and went to direct a drama, which became a great regret in the industry.
Sun Hongfei was stunned.
But the screenwriter and director's eyes lit up at the same time: "I think it's possible! But can we invite him?"
"Don't dream in vain." Sun Hongfei couldn't help but pour cold water on him, "The movie "The Wind Rises" two years ago invited Teacher Miao, and that was a famous director who increased his investment! At that time, the main creators tried every means to persuade him but failed. I think our web series is more suspenseful. In fact, there are many 40+ male stars in the circle, some of whom are good at acting. Why don't we find someone else? After all, time is already tight, and the selection of the protagonist can't be delayed any longer."
The screenwriter and director's excitement that was originally aroused by Gu Xingshi also fell.
Yes, there are countless people who want to invite Miao Yaming to come out in recent years, but none of them succeeded.
What capital do they have to invite the big guy?
However, Gu Xingshi was listening to the system gossiping with him about the inside story of Miao Yaming's withdrawal from the entertainment industry.
[Actually, Miao Yaming's withdrawal from the entertainment industry was related to a secret love affair. Alas, it was quite innocent.]
[Twenty years ago, Miao Yaming was still a newcomer and was selected to star in a romantic movie. The heroine of the movie was Yu Baoer, one of the most popular female stars in Hong Kong at the time. Yu Baoer was beautiful and cheerful, and her acting style was experiential. She was out of the play after the performance, but Miao Yaming was unexpectedly directly into the play.]
[Miao Yaming was introverted at the time, but in order to confess his love to Yu Baoer, he ran to Hong Kong alone. Who knew that when he arrived, he found out that Yu Baoer actually had a boyfriend, so he returned to Beijing in despair. He didn't dare to tell others about this relationship, so he worked hard to film and made many popular dramas and movies. 】
【However, he could not forget Yu Baoer. During that period, Yu Baoer and her boyfriend broke up and got back together. Every time he wanted to take the opportunity to confess his love, he missed it by accident. When she broke up with her boyfriend for the last time, Miao Yaming came to her with flowers to confess his love, but because of heavy rain, the plane could not take off. When he finally came to Hong Kong after all the hardships, he saw that Yu Baoer accepted someone else's proposal, and directly withdrew from the entertainment industry and went abroad with her husband. 】
【This was a big blow to Miao Yaming, and he directly chose to quit the entertainment industry. He has been unmarried and has not been in a relationship for these years. People in the industry just think that he is not interested in love, and no one knows that he has such a deep love in his heart. 】
Gu Xingshi was also very moved when he heard it.
I didn't expect that there would be such a pure love in the dirty entertainment industry.
The system said: [Since Yu Baoer got married, Miao Yaming decided not to bother her anymore, buried his feelings completely, and stopped reading her news, so he didn't know that Yu Baoer and her husband had already broken up and divorced two years ago. Yu Baoer returned to Hong Kong to film again, but she had been out of the circle for many years and no longer had the fame she once had, so it was difficult for her to get a film...]
Gu Xingshi: [Alas, fate really plays tricks on people.]
However, he had an idea in his mind.
Thinking of this, he said, "Everything depends on human effort. How can we know if we don't try?"
Sun Hongfei still didn't think this would work, so he said, "Then let's make two preparations. Mr. Gu will try to convince Teacher Miao, and I will look for someone else."
After the agreement, both parties took their own actions.
Gu Xingshi first visited Yuan Qingqing.
Yuan Qingqing had filmed in Hong Kong in her early years and had many connections. When she heard what Gu Xingshi said, she was stunned for a while: "You want to invite Yu Baoer to act?"
Gu Xingshi nodded and said, "But this role doesn't have many scenes. I wonder if she is willing?"
Yuan Qingqing: "That's okay. She doesn't have many opportunities in Hong Kong now. As long as there is a role, she shouldn't refuse it."
Speaking of this, she felt a little sad, but also a little grateful, "Thank you for remembering her."
Gu Xingshi waved his hand quickly: "No, no, no, I should thank you."
"That's enough, we don't need to say thank you anymore!" Yuan Qingqing waved her hand, "She and I haven't filmed together for many years. If you have any guest roles in this movie, you can find me!"
Gu Xingshi didn't expect such a pleasant surprise, and immediately agreed: "Okay!"
After saying goodbye to Yuan Qingqing, Gu Xingshi found Liang Wenjun again.
Liang Wenjun's artists have worked with Miao Yaming many times, and she has a good relationship with him.
Knowing that Gu Xingshi wanted to invite Miao Yaming to play the male lead, Liang Wenjun couldn't help but persuade him: "It's not that I don't believe you, but Old Miao is the most stubborn person. Although I don't know why he gave up acting, even we old friends have tried our best to convince him over the years, so don't go banging your head against this wall."
Gu Xingshi didn't waver: "Sister Wenjun, let me try."
Liang Wenjun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "How can I harm you? Old Miao is really unmovable!"
At this time, Fu Ya walked in and listened to their argument. She couldn't help but listen, and then She laughed: "Mr. Gu is quite brave. He even wants to gnaw on Miao Yaming! Sister Wenjun, just let him try!"
Liang Wenjun glared at her: "Don't mess around!"
However, Fu Ya has always been afraid of chaos in the world. The more Liang Wenjun said this, the more excited she became: "Mr. Gu, how about we make a bet?"
Gu Xingshi: "Hmm?"
Fu Ya: "If you can convince Lao Miao, I will go to your play to make a cameo, free of charge! But if you can't convince him, how about you come to be my assistant for a day?"
Gu Xingshi: There is such a good thing! !
Miao Yaming, Yuan Qingqing, Fu Ya, he can imagine how many people will be scared to death when the cast list of this web drama is released.
So he agreed immediately without saying a word.
Liang Wenjun sighed helplessly, but then she thought.
Xiao Gu is still young and energetic, and he seems to have never failed since he entered the industry. It is normal for him to have such confidence.
Although this meeting with Miao Yaming was a setback, it was not necessarily a bad thing.
So, she and Fu Ya, who wanted to watch a play, took him to the Beijing Grand Theater to find Miao Yaming.
When they arrived, Miao Yaming was teaching the actors to act. He had a clean and elegant appearance, with straight shoulders and back. He was over 40 years old and was the most charming. His every move, eyebrow and eye corners were full of drama.
The moment he saw him, Gu Xingshi was sure that he was the male lead.
He must be convinced! !
Miao Yaming finished his work and walked towards them: "Sorry, I kept you waiting."
The two sides exchanged greetings for a while before Liang Wenjun explained the purpose of their visit.
Miao Yaming's expression didn't change at all, and he refused calmly.
Gu Xingshi was not discouraged, but said to Miao Yaming: "Teacher Miao, can I talk to you alone?"
Miao Yaming frowned slightly, but still said gently: "My friend, I have just made it very clear that I have retired from the entertainment industry and will not act."
At this time, Fu Ya on the side began to fan the flames: "Old Miao, what are you afraid of, just talk to others alone, are you afraid of being persuaded and slapped in the face?"
Miao Yaming raised his eyes and said calmly: "Don't provoke me, it's useless."
Fu Ya spread her hands and made a helpless expression to Gu Xingshi: "See, he is just like this."
Although she scolded him, Miao Yaming was not angry. He nodded at them and was about to leave.
At this time Gu Xingshi spoke: "That's a pity, I wanted to see you and Yu Baoer play husband and wife in front of the screen again."
Miao Yaming stopped and turned around abruptly: "What did you say?!"
Gu Xingshi smiled and said: "Teacher Miao, can we talk alone now?"
Miao Yaming's expression kept changing, and finally led him to a secluded place.
"Tell me, what do you mean by that?"
Gu Xingshi sighed, "I heard that Teacher Yu has not been living well since her marriage. After she went abroad, her husband soon showed his true colors. He did not go out to work and relied on her for support. When Teacher Yu mentioned divorce, he threatened to kill her..."
Gu Xingshi said while observing Miao Yaming's expression. Although he still maintained his elegant temperament, his hands were clenched into fists, and his jaw muscles were slightly bulging, as if he was holding back his anger. Seeing
that Gu Xingshi stopped talking halfway, he hurriedly asked, "Then she... how is she now?"
Gu Xingshi sighed again.
Miao Yaming's heart was lifted up.
Gu Xingshi said slowly, "Two years ago, Teacher Yu finally divorced and returned to Hong Kong, but the competition there was fierce and there were not many opportunities, so she didn't live very well."
Miao Yaming's straight back seemed to bend suddenly. He held the back of the chair tightly, and the worry and pain in his eyes almost overflowed.
Gu Xingshi said, "I want to invite Teacher Yu to star in this play, but our play has too high requirements for the male lead. If we can't find a suitable person, I'm afraid..."
Before he finished speaking, Miao Yaming said, "I'll play it!"
When Gu Xingshi brought Miao Yaming to Liang Wenjun and Fu Ya, they were both stunned.
"You... you are really acting!" Fu Ya looked at Miao Yaming in disbelief, then looked at Gu Xingshi, "Mr. Gu, how did you convince this stubborn old man? There are rumors in the circle that you are a slave, is it true?!"
Gu Xingshi: "..."
What kind of weird rumors are spreading in your circle? !
Liang Wenjun realized something and looked at Miao Yaming suspiciously: "You changed your attitude as soon as you heard Yu Baoer, it can't be..."
"No!" Miao Yaming immediately denied, righteously, "I did it for art! Right, President Gu?"
Gu Xingshi: "..."
He looked at Miao Yaming's almost red ears and coughed lightly, "It's... for art."
So, when Sun Hongfei returned to the crew in a state of mourning, he saw the director and screenwriter circling around Miao Yaming like two crazy fans.
He couldn't help rubbing his eyes.
Damn! It's really Miao Yaming!!!
President Gu actually invited Miao Yaming!!!
How the hell did he do that!!
He thought of the actors he had asked his grandpa and grandma to find. Not to mention the most suitable one, even the third candidate was rejected.
At this moment, he heard the screenwriter scream again: "What! Mr. Gu, you actually invited Sister Qing and Sister Fu Ya to guest star! Oh my God! Is this true!!"
Sun Hongfei: "!!!"
They are all the same people, why is there such a big difference! !
Gu Xingshi saw Sun Hongfei, who was in a state of despair, and took the initiative to come over to care for him: "What's wrong?"
Sun Hongfei sniffed and told him about his experience along the way with grievance.
After listening to him, Gu Xingshi paused and comforted him: "Actually, it's a good thing that they refused."
Sun Hongfei: "?"
Gu Xingshi: "The first actor you found often visited prostitutes, and his wife is already collecting evidence to sue him. The second actor..."
Sun Hongfei felt so upset that he could only cry and say: "Otherwise, Mr. Gu, please stop comforting me!"
"Oh, okay." Gu Xingshi decided to satisfy him and said honestly, "You really don't have a good eye."
Sun Hongfei: "???"
