Although Yang Ruoqian did not disclose the identities of Shao Yiqi and him as college classmates, anyone with a sharp eye could see that the two were definitely not strangers.
Moreover, Shao Yiqi's temperament of having never experienced poverty since childhood was almost obvious.
Most employees who have some understanding of the company's senior executives know that Shao Yiqi's financial situation is at least not bad.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Shao." The only two remaining people in the crew hurriedly followed Shao Yiqi and got into his car.
This is the work enthusiasm of the employees of Kuiguang Group!
Even though he is a company executive, even though he comes from a wealthy family, even though he is on a long vacation and his boss has not assigned him any work tasks, Shao Yiqi is still willing to take the initiative to work and solve problems for the company.
In the car, Shao Yiqi looked down at his phone and said, "If the protagonist is a nouveau riche and not a villain, it would be best if he is an artist with some comedic attributes. Zhang Wei is a really good choice."
When discussing work, Guo Rang was no longer polite: "And Feng Luo... with her current personality, she should be able to create some good sparks if she plays the lead role of the accountant."
Shao Yiqi glanced at the map navigation and nodded: "Let's talk about the image of the protagonist first. After all, he is not a villain, so even if he is a nouveau riche, he can't be made into an image that makes people feel disgusted and repulsive at first sight."
For example, he wears a gold silk shirt, has a chauffeur-style haircut, always has a smug smile on his face, and likes to show off his wealth and his social connections with other celebrities in the most direct way, but his speech and manners are completely devoid of manners and taste.
If it were this kind of image, many viewers would probably not be able to stand it and would leave after watching for a few minutes.
The most annoying thing is to see villains succeed.
Guo Rang naturally understood what Shao Yiqi meant: "Mr. Shao, so we need a character image that is more immersive and more approachable... An ordinary person from the general public, the state after suddenly getting a large sum of money, is what we want."
Shao Yiqi nodded: "That's easy. I'll help you choose clothes then!"
In fact, Shao Yiqi himself has almost this image - everyone knows that he is a rich second-generation, and he doesn't hide it in his daily life, but basically no one hates him.
After parking the car in the underground parking lot, the three got out of the car and, led by Shao Yiqi, went straight to the high-end clothing store.
Anyway, Yang Ruoqian also said that if you want to avoid being exposed, the best way is to use everything real and no props at all!
Maybe some sharp-eyed audience members would notice that the clothes the protagonist was wearing were not genuine but props, or that the material was cheap, which would ruin the show, wouldn't it? Since the boss said so, Guo Rang had no choice but to do as he was told.
"Come, I know this shop. It is absolutely low-key and luxurious. From the outside, it doesn't look ostentatious and you can't tell the brand at a glance, but even a layman can feel the high-end feeling from the fabrics and designs."
"Definitely suitable for your starring role."
"It's a pity that he signed the contract with the company too early. He is now considered an employee of the company and has to take a vacation at home. Otherwise, we could have asked him to come over today to try on clothes and prepare for customization."
Unlike Shao Yiqi, who is a complete outsider, Zhang Wei is the leading actor and one of the most important members of the crew. If he interferes in the filming of the movie during his holidays, it would be a serious violation of company regulations.
Just as a few people were chatting, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind them.
"What are you doing here on a holiday?"
Shao Yiqi turned around suddenly and saw Cheng Fei walking towards this direction.
"What a coincidence? You're here too?" Shao Yiqi took a small step back. "I'm choosing props for our new movie... But you, are you free?"
"It's not a coincidence. There are several businesses of mine nearby. Whenever I have nothing to do, I will come to check them out during my holidays." Cheng Fei shook her head and glanced into the clothing store. "What kind of props require such expensive clothes?"
Although Cheng Fei had never bought anything in this store, she knew that the cheapest custom-made clothes in this store would cost 10,000 or 20,000 yuan, and the most expensive would be more than 100,000 yuan.
Is it necessary to buy such expensive authentic costumes for actors? With Yang Ruoqian's personality, if he had to spend money, he would definitely not just buy the cheapest style.
"Ha, so the boss's movie can be successful!" Shao Yiqi said very proudly, "Do you understand what it means that details determine success or failure?"
Cheng Fei glanced at the two people next to Shao Yiqi, and did not refute. She just nodded thoughtfully: "At first I thought that Mr. Yang's movie was not so commercial, but now it seems that I was wrong."
She is no longer the newcomer in the entertainment industry, so she can naturally see that a movie where even the leading actor relies on luck cannot have much effort put into it.
But... looking at the current situation, they are selecting props during the holidays, spending a lot of money to buy clothes, and even asking Shao Yiqi, who is on vacation, to come out and choose in person.
Could it be that Mr. Yang is doing something different from ordinary attempts and challenges?
Cheng Fei had not read the script, but judging from the name of the movie "The Richest Man in Jinhai City", she knew the nature of the movie.
Letting the rich second-generation Shao Yiqi to guide is definitely the right person.
It is enough to show that Yang Ruoqian really attaches great importance to this movie... It is definitely different from the small-scale assembly line movie that was originally imagined.
As a second-generation rich man and as a distributor, Cheng Fei immediately felt the burden on his shoulders became heavier - the works and preparations of the Kuiguang Group were pouring in one after another, and Chengyu Media could not fall behind.
Since Mr. Yang attaches so much importance to this film and has invested so much money and preparation in it, the publicity aspect must not be neglected.
Cheng Fei immediately took out her cell phone and gave the company's employees a simple preliminary instruction - adjust the priority of the publicity and promotion of the movie "The Richest Man in Jinhai City" to the highest level, and if there is a conflict with other work, they must give way to "The Richest Man in Jinhai City".
If we use the performance of "The Black Robe Inspection Team" and "The Wandering Blue Star" to predict "The Richest Man in Jinhai City"... this will be a blockbuster with at least 1 billion box office, or even 2 billion.
For such a big business, it is natural to give it as high a priority as possible.
After instructing the employees, Cheng Fei walked into the clothing store: "Let me help you pick out some... Do you mind showing me the script?"
"Mr. Cheng, you are being too polite." Guo Rang had long heard about the story of how Kuiguang Group and Chengyu Media worked together when they were first established, and knew that the two companies were close allies. "I'll pass the script to you right away."
Cheng Fei walked to the table and sat down, scanning the script of "The Richest Man in Jinhai City" line by line.
As a partner who has witnessed the capabilities of the Kuiguang Group and benefited greatly from it, she will not make any comments on the script itself.
But she can still help with some things outside the script.
"The script is quite interesting." Cheng Fei nodded and couldn't help but praise, "As expected of President Yang... That's it. I saw that you have arranged for a helicopter to appear in your script? Do you have any plans?"
Guo Rang was stunned for a moment, then said, "We plan to find a channel to rent a few helicopters that look good."
Shao Yiqi suddenly interrupted and said, "I heard from Qi Mu before that the boss seems to be planning to directly purchase helicopters recently. Why don't you ask him about this? Helicopters are divided into high-end and low-end grades... If you are a nouveau riche, you must buy a better helicopter, right?"
"That's true." Guo Rang said with some embarrassment, "But Mr. Yang said that I should make my own decisions on everything."
"That's not something that involves him, so make your own decision." Shao Yiqi generously helped his college classmate make a decision, "I'll ask him if he has made any arrangements for the helicopter. If not, we can just do both things at once."
As he spoke, Shao Yiqi turned on his phone and sent a message to Yang Ruoqian: "Boss, I heard from Qi Mu that you have the idea of purchasing a helicopter recently?"
"Okay, wait for the reply."
“…”
At this moment, Yang Ruoqian was flying to the Maldives.
He stretched in the spacious bedroom at the back of the plane and muttered to himself impatiently: "Who is this? You don't have a good rest or fun during the long vacation. You send me text messages every day. If you have nothing to do, I suggest you find a date first."
After complaining, Yang Ruoqian took the phone from the bedside table to see who was so bored.
After seeing that the person who sent the message was Shao Yiqi, Yang Ruoqian sighed heavily.
It's this guy again! Every time I see him, I always feel like something bad is going to happen.
"What's wrong?" Chang Zhiqing, who was wearing a silk nightgown and watching videos and eating snacks on a small coffee table nearby, turned her head slightly when she heard the words, "Is there something about work?"
"No...it's that kid Shao Yiqi." Yang Ruoqian shook his head and turned on his cell phone to see what he was doing.
After looking at it for a while, Yang Ruoqian looked a little strange: "Asking me about purchasing helicopters... What does this have to do with him?"
After thinking about it, Yang Ruoqian felt that there should be no fraud, so he replied: "It's almost the same, but there is no rush... Why are you suddenly concerned about this? Do you have any unused second-hand helicopters at home that you want to sell to me?"
Mr. Yang has learned a lesson from his failure. He is now extremely determined to use the company's money to buy a helicopter and will never use the "free spot" given to him by the system.
It looks like it’s free, but in fact the system is just trying to defraud you of your maintenance fees.
Shao Yiqi sent a sweaty soybean emoji: "No, you didn't read the script of your movie at all, right? Isn't there a scene in the movie where a helicopter appears? I was thinking, why not just use the helicopter you bought as a movie prop?"
"The helicopters that can be rented outside nowadays don't seem to be very high-end and don't quite fit the image of a nouveau riche."
There's a plot about helicopters in the new movie?
This movie itself was an idea that Yang Ruoqian came up with on the spur of the moment, and even the choice of the leading actor was very casual, so he just told Guo Rang a general idea but did not tell him how the specific plot would develop.
Upstarts, helicopters...
There really doesn't seem to be any sense of incongruity when the two are linked.
Yang Ruoqian sent a reply to Shao Yiqi: "Wait a minute, I'll think about it."
After sending it, Yang Ruoqian urgently opened the system panel.
"System, if it is necessary for company business, can I donate my personal belongings to it?"
The system does not allow transfer without reason.
But now, isn’t this a ready-made reason?
[Querying...]
[If it is a business need of the company and it is difficult to solve through market means in a short period of time, and the host happens to have a solution, the host can transfer the assets under its name to the company]
[Note: This behavior will be regarded as the company purchasing from the host, and will be counted into the company's quarterly expenses based on the value of the item.]
[Host, please remember that the company's profits and losses depend on operations. Using the host's personal strong assets to support the bottom line is harmful and useless! ]
It actually works!
This system, which had betrayed me countless times, had a rare moment of conscience.
Since I can transfer my assets to the company, I can also cash out the helicopter that the system gave me before! And doing so will not delay the behavior of losing money, and it will be counted as an expense by the system.
It’s a huge profit!
Yang Ruoqian was so excited that he immediately sent a message to Shao Yiqi: "Sure, no big deal! What kind of helicopter does the crew need, what grade, what configuration, and what the appearance is, send it all to me."
Shao Yiqi: "Well, what's the point of making so many requests? Isn't it just a matter of seeing if others have any for sale? If it's custom made, it will probably take at least a year. Can a movie shoot wait that long?"
That's because you don't know what a golden finger is...
Yang Ruoqian made a mocking expression: "I have channels with your godfather, so you don't have to worry about these things. Just ask for anything you want."
"Tsk tsk! You're really different now that you're rich. You can even find a way to get something like this... Why do I feel like you look a bit like the protagonist of 'The Richest Man in Jinhai City'?"
Nonsense! I just thought of this topic based on my own experience! Yang Ruoqian ignored Shao Yiqi's question: "Okay... Speaking of which, isn't it a long holiday now? Why are you suddenly concerned about the script? Are you secretly working overtime?"
Shao Yiqi was very arrogant: "Ha! This is not my job, it's not even a shift. No matter how much I work, it's not considered overtime. I haven't violated any company regulations. You don't have an excuse to make things difficult for me this time, right?"
"...You are just too bored." Yang Ruoqian was too lazy to care about such trivial matters. "Is there anything else? If not, please don't disturb my travel."
Shao Yiqi: "Sometimes I really don't know whether you value this movie or not... If you say you don't value it, you are willing to spend so much money and even nitpick on the details. If you say you value it, it seems like you haven't even read the script, tsk."
Yang Ruoqian was too lazy to explain: "You don't understand, this is called strategic vision."
After typing this line, he planned to put down his phone and go outside the bedroom to eat breakfast.
At this time, the last line of information floated on the phone screen: "Okay, okay, you are great, you formulate the strategy. Then Cheng Fei and I will help you complete the tactical level, tsk."
Yang Ruoqian's hands froze.
What the hell? Cheng Fei?
What does this mess have to do with Chengyu Media? ! (End of this chapter)
