Chapter 25 The Rich Family's Substitute Son 25 The Male Lead from Heaven
Fang Yuyun was very angry that day. When Fu Zhongyan came to find her, she was scolding the staff under her.
Seeing her son coming, Fang Yuyun finally calmed down.
Fu Zhongyan had also heard the news that the company's failure to secure the copyright had led to problems with its partners, but he had no interest in any of this. When Fang Yuyun returned to the office, he looked unhappy: "Mom, didn't you say you'd let me be the male lead in the new drama? You promised me that before you coaxed me into participating in that farming program."
Fang Yuyun suppressed the anger on her face. She still cherished her son very much. She said, "Don't worry, son. Everything has been arranged. The company project will proceed as usual. Now that we have lost this partner, they will find another investor."
Fu Zhongyan: "Really? Then my male lead..."
"I promised you this. When have I ever broken my promise? Don't worry, you're still the leading man."
Fang Yuyun had done so many things before, wasn't it just to make his son famous and change his fortune? Even if he hadn't won "Strategy of the World", the "Nine Palaces" that the company had previously planned to invest in was also good, and they could just find other investors.
Fu Zhongyan was a little nervous just now, but after hearing what his mother said, he felt relieved. As for what difficulties the company had encountered or its current business conditions, he was not worried at all.
"By the way, you won't let Fu Yuanbo get a piece of the pie, right? I'm the leading actor, and I don't want to see Fu Yuanbo's face." Fu Zhongyan suddenly said.
Although his mother assured him that Fu Yuanbo had nothing to do with them, Fu Zhongyan still cared a lot.
This kid's presence has been a bit too strong recently. In the show "Farming with Mom", he and his adoptive mother have always been at the top of the popularity list, which makes Fu Zhongyan very unhappy.
Upon hearing the name Fu Yuanbo, Fang Yuyun subconsciously frowned in disgust: "You don't need to tell me this, Suiyun Entertainment's project will never use him."
Only then did Fu Zhongyan feel relieved.
Fang Yuyun felt a little heavy-hearted. She didn't think the copyright of "Strategy of the World" was much better than Suiyun Entertainment's current project "Jiuqueju", but without the support of Yihai Entertainment, Suiyun Entertainment would indeed have a hard time in the future. But for the sake of her son, she had to grit her teeth and continue filming this political drama.
…
At this time, Chen Qian was also discussing the cast of "Strategy for the World" with his assistant Ruan Yajun.
Before this, she had already revealed to Ruan Yajun that she was planning to have Fu Yuanbo terminate his contract with Xinghui Entertainment and sign him with Brilliant Entertainment. Ruan Yajun then suggested, "Boss Shen, if that's the case, why don't you recommend your son Fu Yuanbo to Yihai Entertainment as well? Even if he can't be the male lead, he'd be a good second male lead."
Shen Qian smiled and said, "At present, Fu Yuanbo's primary identity is still a high school student. He is still recording a program. Although he wants to try filming, I don't intend to interfere. He should do things according to his ability. The reason I recommended Hu Yongyan is because of his ability, not because he is a brilliant artist. Opening a company and doing business should focus on making money."
Shen Qian knew very well that with the current strength of Cuican, it was not enough to cooperate with Yihai. The reason why she was able to sit at the negotiation table was because she had the two trump cards of "Ce Tianxia" and Hu Yongyan in hand in advance.
In the original book, Fang Yuyun was able to turn Suiyun Entertainment from loss to profit because he acquired the film and television copyright of "Strategy of the World" and successfully obtained investment from Yihai Entertainment.
At that time, in order to make her son Fu Zhongyan famous, Fang Yuyun let Fu Zhongyan play the male lead, and Hu Yongyan only played the second male lead, and this made the project a hit. Now Suiyun Entertainment has lost all its advantages, and these trump cards that can make Suiyun Entertainment revive are in Shen Qian's hands, so she is naturally not panicking.
But even though he was sure of victory, Shen Qian did not intend to follow Fang Yuyun's approach and pave the way for Fu Yuanbo.
She had talked to Fu Yuanbo before, and he knew that he didn't have to be an actor, and he didn't have any particular attachment to the entertainment industry. In fact, he was more eager to return to school than to continue being an artist.
Chen Qian also thought that after the "Strategy for the World" project was successfully launched, he would find another opportunity for Fu Yuanbo to try it out and not let him get involved.
Mr. Jiang from Yihai Entertainment responded quickly. The senior management was very interested in the script of "Strategy of the World", but the details of the cooperation between the two parties were still to be discussed. As for the actor she recommended, the company was also willing to give Hu Yongyan a chance.
Things had come to this point, and Chen Qian no longer needed to stay in Nancheng. All subsequent matters were left to Shao Yan to monitor, while she returned to the "Farming with Mom" program crew with her son.
Soon, the script of "Strategy for the World" was handed over to Hu Yongyan.
In fact, after the change of ownership of Brilliant Agency, Hu Yongyan thought his future was over.
The new boss has not shown up since he bought the company. I heard that he directly handed the operation over to an agency, which doesn't seem like he takes it seriously.
The artists and trainees within the company are all in a panic, not knowing where their future lies.
When Hu Yongyan signed with Cuican and became a trainee, he had the dream of becoming a good actor in his heart. He worked very hard for this. Unfortunately, his dream was shattered less than a year after he became a trainee.
Unexpectedly, when he was feeling discouraged, the company actually arranged a number of actor training courses for him.
What was even more unexpected was that halfway through the training session, his agent placed the script of "Strategy for the World" in front of him.
"Sister Yun, what does this mean?"
"Take it back and have a good look at it, mainly focusing on the male lead's role."
Hu Yongyan never expected that his agent would ask him to prepare the role of the male lead!
Of course, Cuican is just a small company, and he himself is just a trainee who has not debuted yet. Whether in terms of resources or popularity, he cannot compare with anyone else. Hu Yongyan did not have much fantasy and was only focused on preparing for the audition.
However, when he studied the script, he was deeply attracted by the story of the protagonist. This role seemed to be tailor-made for him, and he was confident that he could play this role well.
It's a pity that with his current ability, he could only play a small supporting role in this drama, let alone the leading role. Hu Yongyan even naively thought that the company might want him to be a stand-in for the male lead of this drama.
Prepare with full concentration and the end result will be quite satisfying.
Before Yihai Entertainment officially signed the contract with Cuican, they arranged a separate audition for Hu Yongyan, and the result was quite satisfactory. Hu Yongyan changed into a moon-colored robe with dark patterns embroidered on it. As he made a few appearances, the hem of the robe swayed with his movements, looking uninhibited and free and easy. His handsome face seemed a little unreal, his eyes were sharp and intimidating, with the corners of his eyes raised, and he had a bit of evil in him, which made people feel that he was the natural leading man just standing there.
Several leaders from Yihai Entertainment who were present at the event smiled at each other, with a bit of surprise in their eyes. It seems that Cuican really has some ability. Not only does she have the script of "Strategy of the World", but the actors she recommended are also so outstanding.
The leaders examined his acting skills again, and it had to be said that Hu Yongyan's acting performance was quite outstanding, and his lines were very catchy. He was a lucky man who was blessed by God.
"Okay, very good."
Undoubtedly, the male lead of "Strategy of the World" has been decided. The successful selection of actors is a very important factor for the success of film and television projects. Unexpectedly, the male lead of "Strategy of the World" has a lot of scenes, and Hu Yongyan's wonderful performance has also increased the confidence of Yihai Entertainment and Cuican Agency in cooperating. Yihai's senior management changed their attitude and said to Shao Yan: "Please convey to Mr. Shen that the two parties can cooperate, but if Cuican wants to participate in the investment of this project, the threshold must be at least 20 million. If it is less than this number, it is better to directly sell the script of "Strategy of the World" to our company, and we can give a moderate increase in the salary of the male lead."
Shao Yan looked embarrassed. At the beginning, Shen Qian had told him that Cuican's investment amount could reach tens of millions. He felt that with Shen Qian's ability, it was already very good to be able to come up with ten million. Now it has doubled what was said before, but Yihai Entertainment has agreed to cooperate and has also decided that Hu Yongyan will be the male lead. It may be difficult to discuss other conditions.
Shao Yan was in a dilemma and could only convey the news to Shen Qian intactly.
These days, Shen Qian, who returned to the program crew from Nancheng, has been living a very carefree life.
This time, Fu Yuanbo went back with her and saw the new house that was being renovated. After spending a night in the house she rented, he seemed like a different person.
Before, he would easily get upset and worried about little things, but now he no longer seemed to doubt his adoptive mother's good intentions towards him. He felt much better and was busy like a top all day long. He just went to fetch water, chopped wood, fed the chickens, and started a fire to make delicious food for Pudding.
[Have you noticed that Fu Yuanbo has a lot more smiles on his face since returning from this trip? ]
[Yes, yes, I noticed it too. Before, this cool guy always had a sour face in front of the camera, but just now he was holding Pudding and smiling happily.]
【Brother looks so good when he smiles! 】
[Have you noticed that when Fu Yuanbo smiles, he looks a bit like Mother Shen. Are they really not biological mother and son? ]
[Is that something I can say? I also think the more I look at these two, the more they look alike! She's clearly my adoptive mother, not my biological mother.]
Previously, Shen Qian had more black fans because of the negative news when she was young. Many people thought that she was not a good mother at all. Shen Qian turned a deaf ear to these comments. Since Fu Yuanbo was willing to work, she let him do it. Unexpectedly, fewer and fewer people scolded her in the live broadcast room, and more and more people praised Fu Yuanbo.
Shen Qian is also happy to see such a trend.
When Shao Yan sent the message, Shen Qian was resting on the recliner.
Yihai Entertainment was finally willing to make an offer, and Shen Qian's lips curled up into a faint smile.
It’s just 20 million, unfortunately, she really has it.
Shen Qian transferred the 9 million in his account to the agency's account first.
[The Super Rich System] immediately popped up a prompt to inform that the triple return of 27 million has arrived.
Shen Qian also transferred the remaining 11 million.
Shao Yan immediately received news from the company's finance department that the 20 million yuan had arrived.
He really didn't expect that Shen Qian could come up with such a large sum of money in one go, so he immediately gathered his strength and finalized the cooperation project of "Strategy of the World" and the contract for Hu Yongyan to play the leading role with Yihai Entertainment.
Shen Qian was very satisfied with Shao Yan's efficiency. She was glad that she had outsourced the company's business to an agency.
[Shao Yan, I need your help with something.]
Shen Qian sent a message.
[Boss Shen, just give your orders.]
After this cooperation, Shao Yan was convinced. This Mr. Shen was a very capable person. He took out 20 million yuan as soon as he said it. He was originally just an ordinary salesman in the agency company. After cooperating with Shen Qian, he would be promoted soon. Of course, he had to serve this lady well.
[Help me find a professional team of lawyers and a reliable private detective. There are some things I need to prepare in advance. ]
Shao Yan didn't know what Mr. Shen wanted to do with this, but this was originally one of the agency's businesses, so he went to do it immediately.
