64 Chapter 64
◎Series◎
The food in this restaurant is really delicious, which is totally worthy of its high price. It is also not like those Michelin restaurants abroad that imitate the gimmick of only one bite per dish. The portion is decent.
After eating, they went out and never met the Liu family again.
After another day of sharing the burden with Yu Feiyu, the Spring Festival finally arrived.
Zhang Li gave everyone in the team a holiday, but what she didn't expect was that Cheng Yu didn't go back to her hometown, but chose to stay with her.
The two of them cooked some dishes together and made dumplings.
The special program for New Year’s Eve, the Spring Festival Gala, is playing on TV.
Many of the guest performers at the party were people they knew well.
But compared to the excitement above, it is more real on the phone.
Zhang Li didn’t know how many groups he had joined. Some of the groups were quiet, while some were extremely lively.
Especially in Lingman’s large group, employees created a very good New Year atmosphere, showing each other photos of their home-cooked meals or scenic views from their travels.
As the night grew darker, some employees were already clamoring in the group for red envelopes from the bosses.
Many people were cheering and tagging President Yu Feiyu.
According to usual practice, those who send out New Year red envelopes in the group start with the top leaders and go down in order.
Before Yu Feiyu posted his message, other leaders did not dare to go past him and waited until he had posted his message before speaking out.
The employees originally thought that this time would be the same, and Yu Feiyu did show up, but he didn't just throw out the red envelope, but tagged Zhang Li.
Yu Feiyu: Let President Li give out red envelopes first this year! President Li is giving out red envelopes! @张漓]
Perhaps because they stood by the company during its most difficult times, many old employees have developed a strong sense of belonging to Lingman.
Some employees were surprised by Yu Feiyu's "rogue" behavior, but they also couldn't help but start to disagree.
[Ouch! The New Year gifts Mr. Li gave everyone yesterday were already expensive! Mr. Yu, please let Mr. Li go!]
[That's right! You can't just pick on one person!]
[Mr. Li is so generous! I feel embarrassed to grab the red envelopes if he gives them out again.]
[I heard that General Li also sponsored gifts for the annual meeting, so there's no need for New Year's red envelopes...]
In the eyes of everyone, although Zhang Li is also a shareholder and holds a nominal position like Cheng Yu, she is usually too proactive and generous, which makes them feel embarrassed to try to get her help.
Seeing that everyone in the group was making excuses for Zhang Li, Yu Feiyu really wanted to laugh.
If they knew that Zhang Li was the real boss behind the scenes, I don’t know if they would still be able to say these words.
However, in the eyes of the employees, his action was similar to his close relationship with Zhang Li, so it was just a joke. But in the eyes of other shareholders, it made them suspicious.
Several shareholders sent messages to inquire.
[Lao Yu, what does it mean to let Miss Zhang Li go first? ]
[Your behavior is different from the past few years.]
[Are you hiding something from us? ...]
Seeing the keen sense of smell of these old friends, Yu Feiyu couldn't help but sigh, but without Zhang Li's approval, he would never reveal her identity.
[It means to let A Li send it on behalf of the big boss]
However, his reply made everyone think in the wrong way.
[Posted on behalf of Big Boss? Could it be that Miss Zhang Li and Big Boss really have the relationship they say they do?! !]
[Good boy! How did you know that, Lao Yu?!]
Seeing that things were going from bad to worse, Yu Feiyu's eyes twitched and he hurried to explain.
[It's not that kind of relationship! But there is indeed a connection between them! Don't overthink it!]
Several shareholders know him quite well. Since he said so, it proves that Zhang Li and the big boss are indeed not in that kind of relationship.
If it wasn't that kind of relationship, then what was it? Could it be family?
They didn't question it anymore, but before they could think too much, a red envelope message popped up on the top of the phone, and then one after another popped up.
After switching to the WeChat main page and clicking into the company group, they discovered that Zhang Li had already seen the message from Yu Feiyu in the group, and then started giving out red envelopes.
The funniest thing is those employees who had previously made excuses for Zhang Li. They said that it would be embarrassing to grab the red envelopes if Zhang Li gave them out again, but as soon as the red envelopes were given out, they were the ones who grabbed them the most enthusiastically.
Zhang Li really distributed a wave of red envelopes. After receiving one red envelope, the employees didn’t even have time to speak before the next red envelope arrived.
Until the entire screen was filled with Zhang Li's red envelopes, Zhang Li finally stopped.
But the reason why she stopped was also very niche.
[The quota is limited...]
When this was said, many people were still scrambling for red envelopes.
However, there were also people with fast typing speed who could not help but send out the words [The boss is so generous! ! ! !]
After this sentence came out, countless people began to copy it.
The HR manager suddenly remembered and changed the sentence as a reminder, fearing that Yu Feiyu would feel uncomfortable seeing it.
【Mr. Li is so generous!!!】
Seeing this, the people from the Human Resources Department and the Administration Department quickly made corrections, but some people were still not brought over.
But they didn’t know that Yu Feiyu didn’t think there was anything wrong with what he said.
After the group finally stopped talking, he came out and sent out another wave of red envelopes.
If someone counted carefully, they would find that he sent exactly one less red envelope than Zhang Li.
After he finished distributing the dividends, other shareholders also came out and started distributing the dividends.
Everyone in the group was so engrossed in the craze of grabbing red envelopes that almost no one noticed even after midnight.
After sending out red envelopes to a large group of people, Zhang Li sent out another wave of red envelopes to the team, and then transferred money to Cheng Yu, Yu Feiyu, Li Xiaoman and Wu Heng. Finally, he ended with a rain of large red envelopes on Weibo, left a Happy New Year, muted his phone, and went straight to bed to sleep.
But she didn't know that her phone had been on silent mode and had never stopped ringing.
When she woke up, she was instantly overwhelmed by countless messages.
It took Zhang Li almost the entire morning to process the message.
After a few days of idleness, when the Spring Festival was over, the whole country seemed to have restarted and became full of business again.
Lingman’s annual meeting is about to begin.
As a shareholder and artist of Lingman, Zhang Li must attend Lingman’s annual meeting.
Because she asked Cheng Yu to prepare a batch of G's luxury goods in advance as gifts for the annual meeting raffle, her arrival was more welcomed than Yu Feiyu.
Yu Feiyu also took the stage and gave an extremely immersive speech, from the crisis Lingman encountered to Wancheng's rescue, from Tianqi's blockade to the sudden emergence of the past, and everything that happened later. His tone was very immersive, and the senior executives and employees who had gone through that period together were almost moved to tears.
Fortunately, the company's overall annual report was presented at the end. Looking at the data that was rising at a sky-high speed, everyone was so excited that they applauded for a long time.
Later, it was the turn of the lucky draw. Looking at the dazzling array of gifts with the G company logo and the piles of cash, everyone went crazy again.
Overall, this annual meeting was the most exciting one for employees since Lingman was established.
When the photos of the scene were uploaded to the Internet, countless people were envious.
Zhang Li finally received the delayed summary report from Wu Heng.
With her guidance behind the scenes and continuous financial support, Wancheng's growth rate this year has been astonishing.
Not to mention that some investments have not yet received returns, there are many investments that have already received obvious returns, in addition to Lingman, Xuanhuang and Suo Yun, there are many others.
Regardless of the assets that Pei Yiyuan "hitchhiked on", Zhang Li's assets alone have increased from a few hundred million to several billion.
If he were placed on the rich list, he would certainly not be as good as those big crocodiles, but what needs to be considered is that it has been less than a year since Zhang Li's death!
Including Pei Yiyuan's funds, Wancheng's value has exceeded 10 billion. Even Wu Heng, as the manager, will be treated as a guest of honor by countless people wherever he goes.
If it continues to grow at this rate, Wancheng will sooner or later become the most famous fund in the country.
Zhang Li already had an estimate of this data in his mind, so he was not surprised.
In her mind, this is just a blueprint for laying the foundation.
In the next year, she will make Wancheng develop in an even more terrifying way.
But before that, Zhang Li thought about it and decided to make the best use of it and get all the benefits that the system could give him.
"Then... you're the next target."
Zhang Li glanced at his childhood sweetheart, whom he had previously set to Do Not Disturb.
-
A few days later, Lingman finally started its big move for the new year. It announced that it would start a groundbreaking film and television production with industry leaders Yichang Media, Soyun Entertainment and several other companies, and most importantly Wancheng Private Equity Fund.
The copyright of the script for this production comes from Wancheng's Past Studio.
Almost as soon as the news was announced, it quickly became a hot topic.
Countless celebrities promoted and reposted it, which added fuel to the fire.
It is said that this is the copyright of a series. After seeing part of the plan, companies such as Yichang Media and Suoyun Entertainment lowered their heads and took the initiative to show goodwill to Lingman in order to obtain the cooperation rights.
Suoyun Entertainment might have bought into the deal because Wancheng owns shares in it. But even Yichang Media couldn't resist. What does that mean?
Countless netizens left messages.
[Now I'm curious about what kind of big move Lingman is planning! ]
The last time a movie topped the trending search list before production even started was last time.
Movies that are promoted with such fanfare often either become a hit or flop.
So what about the cast? Have you decided on the main cast? ...
As soon as the comments about the actors came out, they aroused the curiosity of more netizens.
Fans of the stars who forwarded the post were all speculating whether their stars would also participate in this big production.
However, after Lingman released the first news about the actor, it once again confirmed that Zhang Li was Lingman's most popular artist, without a doubt.
Lingman Entertainment official Weibo: Our artist, Ms. Zhang Li, has been confirmed as the lead actress in the first season of "Searching for the Gods." Stay tuned!
The film had just been decided, and Zhang Li had already become Lingman's absolute leading actor.
If this happened to anyone else, it might cause a lot of controversy, but strangely, when it happened to Zhang Li, it seemed very common. After all, almost everyone who surfed the Internet quickly knew that Zhang Li and Wan Cheng had an ambiguous relationship, and no matter how much netizens questioned her, they just ignored her.
What's more, Zhang Li is no longer the same as before. Her fan base is getting bigger and bigger. Although she doesn't move around much usually, once she does, she can definitely sweep the Internet.
So what netizens care more about is that Lingman not only announced Zhang Li as the absolute leading actor, but also announced the name of the movie.
"In Search of the Gods"?
[Sounds like something related to gods, ghosts, and strange stories?]
Are you planning to combine folklore and supernatural stories into a historical film series? It feels a bit suspenseful. If the stories are too ordinary, they won't attract audiences. But if they are too bizarre, many viewers will be reluctant to watch. It's a bad choice.
If this is really related to gods and ghosts, I feel like Lingman made a bad move.
[+1, the point is they're still trying to create a film series, it's no wonder they're losing money! ...]
Just based on the name, countless netizens have begun to criticize it.
But they didn't know that the movie Lingman was going to shoot this time was very different from what they had imagined.
This is also the script that Zhang Li brought from her previous life. Since she dared to do it so high-profile, it must have withstood the test of the audience.
Back then, this was a movie that was not well-received by the audience at the beginning. However, once it was released, it swept the box office at that time and created a box office myth. Its influence even spread directly to all the surrounding countries. After being explained by some bloggers, it had a great impact on several other continents.
Moreover, the special effects technology at that time was not as mature as it is today.
With the experience and better conditions, Zhang Li was confident that he could build it better in a shorter time.
Netizens thought that this was a completely ancient style movie about gods, ghosts and monsters. They were partly right. There were gods, ghosts and monsters, but it was different from the ancient style they imagined. This was a movie based in the future.
In addition to the time being defined in the future, it is also related to infinite flow and different space.
The theme of the first part is actually a search for gods in the superficial sense.
People in the future world are trapped in an infinite flow of strange stories. If they want to escape from the predicament, they must get chips. They must find the "god" who can solve the predicament from the entire infinite flow world. This is part of the origin of the movie's name.
The script is absolutely wonderful, and most importantly, if it is really well-made, this IP will definitely create a storm in the future. Otherwise, several big companies would not have started vying to cooperate with Lingman after reading it.
However, this movie requires a lot of preparation in the early stages, so Zhang Li chose to cooperate with other companies instead of taking it on alone.
While searching for a suitable production team, Lingman is also recruiting actors.
What no one knows is that the decision on the actors this time is ostensibly up to Lingman, but in reality it is entirely in the hands of Zhang Li.
But before that, Zhang Li had to start filming the script that Cheng Yu had previously accepted for her.
-
Zhang Li is already very well-known now. After winning the Best Supporting Actress Award at the Hundred News Awards last time, she received numerous invitations.
Most of these invitations are no longer auditions, but as long as she agrees, the role will be hers.
Cheng Yu spent a lot of effort to pick out a script that was reliable and would also interest Zhang Li.
It took a lot of effort to pick out two dramas, but I played supporting roles in both of them.
Zhang Li didn't care whether she was the female lead or not. After all, if she wanted to film a movie, they could always form a crew and tailor it specifically for her.
But she didn't think that way.
So, when the outside world was still discussing whether Lingman had made a wrong move, she had already quietly joined the first crew.
