Chapter 303 The Queen Mother’s Appointment

With the official announcement of Universal Entertainment, Yang Mi and Reba became artists under the company.

Fans rushed to tell each other and were overjoyed.

Over the years, fans of the two have suffered a lot.

Finally, someone took action and pulled them out of the deep pit in Jiahang.

It is also a large company integrating cinemas, film and television production, and artist management.

Compared with Universal Entertainment, Jiahang is just a small workshop.

With the Weibo permissions of Reba and Yang Mi, they were transferred from Jiahang to Universal Entertainment.

The Weibo homepage introductions of the two people have also been changed.

Yang Mi V, an actor signed by Universe Entertainment, has 113 million fans, 642 followers, and 1.374 billion retweets, comments, and likes.

Representative works: "Palace", "Chinese Paladin III", etc.

Dear-Reba v, a contracted actor of Universe Entertainment, 80.643 million fans, 292 followings, 4.295 billion retweets, comments and likes.

Compared with Yang Mi, Reba’s homepage doesn’t even have a representative work to show off.

This is also the thing that many Reba fans are most dissatisfied with Jiahang.

As top stars, Yang Zi is far less popular than Reba, but each of her dramas is more popular than the last.

Of course, there is a reason why Yang Zi is not bad.

But this has nothing to do with Jiahang? As fans began to learn more about Universe Entertainment, it was easy for them to pay attention to the identity of the company's top actress.

Fans of domestic entertainment are very sensitive to the ranking.

If you say that Yang Mi is the top lady in the company, many Alices would not dare to act rashly.

At least Yang Mi was kind to Reba and it is hard to tear her apart.

But why did Gu Pan, a newcomer who had just gained some popularity, have to be ranked higher than our Reba?

Gu Pan’s Weibo was immediately bombarded by Reba’s fans.

"Please be sensible and give up your position as the top lady in the company. Then you can let Reba take care of you in the future."

"That's right, how dare a newcomer who is not even a third-tier star to be ranked ahead of Reba and Sister Mi?"

"Although I'm not Alice, Sister Mi is indeed more qualified to be the number one sister. Sister, you'd better be more sensible."

…

Fans’ actions are the responsibility of idols.

So, Yang Mi and Reba both called Gu Pan to apologize.

And cooperate with the company's public relations department to try to appease fans.

But the effect is very general.

If fans were rational, there wouldn't be so many famous scenes of celebrities being betrayed.

Gu Pan was indeed very unhappy.

But she also knows that her popularity cannot be compared with top actresses like Yang Mi and Reba who have been popular for many years.

"Pan Pan, just focus on filming. Since Director Qi hasn't said anything, it means that neither of them is qualified to steal your position as the top actress."

The first artist Lin Meishan managed was Gu Pan, so naturally she had the best feelings for her.

"Don't worry, Sister Meishan, I just want to make the scene a success now."

Gu Pan smiled and his attitude was pretty good.

Just like Lin Meishan said, Qi Sheng still dotes on her more.

The chef at home took turns to cook for her.

Even Jiang Shuying, who was in the same crew, experienced the treatment of being served by a Michelin three-star chef and crew.

Who in the entire crew didn't know that Gu Pan had a strong background? "Sister Meishan, I want to finish the remaining scenes quickly. Director Zhang's crew is almost ready, and my part is the only one left."

Gu Pan is full of fighting spirit and does not want to disappoint Qi Sheng and his fans.

Although she has few fans, some people are trying hard to fight for her against Reba and Yang Mi’s fans.

Even though their fighting power is a little weak, sooner or later their fan base will be comparable to that of Reba and others.

In terms of appearance, figure, acting skills, and resources.

She is better than Reba and Yang Mi.

What we need to do now is to develop slowly.

When a few hit dramas are aired, her popularity will surely soar! Seeing that Gu Pan adjusted her mentality so quickly, Lin Meishan was also quite relieved.

Although Gu Pan’s current popularity is only close to the level of a third-tier actress.

But with the support of Qi Sheng, the wealthy sponsor, it is only a matter of time before she surpasses Reba and Yang Mi.

However, from the perspective of corporate interests.

The joining of Reba and Yang Mi is undoubtedly a hundred benefits with no harm.

In particular, after the two took acting training courses, they received high praise from the acting teacher.

Lin Meishan was even more surprised.

Yang Mi is not so bad, as she had her moments of glory in the past.

But later on, he was busy making money and his acting skills became worse and worse.

But Reba's acting skills have improved so much that it really exceeded Lin Meishan's expectations.

Even her fans couldn’t bear to watch the bad dramas that Reba had filmed before.

Tencent has invited Reba to star in "The Long Ballad".

After reading the script, Lin Meishan directly rejected Tencent's invitation.

Adapting comics is a great test of the screenwriter's skills.

The script produced by Tencent is not even a little bit worse than the script created by the company's screenwriting department.

What's more, the project of this drama started in 2015.

In the middle, the screenwriter and director got into a war of words because of suspected falsification of history.

Lin Meishan would naturally not let Reba take on such a bad drama that would affect its reputation.

…

This is the first time that Yang Mi and Reba have reported to Universe Entertainment since the agency contract was transferred.

"Sister Mi, this is what we call a big company. They own a building in Qiantan, and the artist management department alone occupies two floors. It's too luxurious!"

Reba saw the floor map and said to Yang Mi with emotion.

"Compared with Universal Entertainment, Jiahang is indeed a bit behind."

Yang Mi smiled bitterly and nodded.

Although she founded Jiahang, she never dreamed that she could bring the company to the level of Universal Entertainment.

It has multiple business departments including film and television production, screenwriting, artist management, theaters, distribution, etc.

Universal Entertainment is a giant company that can be regarded as an aircraft carrier-class giant in the domestic entertainment industry.

"Gogogo, I can't wait to choose the script!"

Reba excitedly pulled Yang Mi and took the elevator to the floor where the screenwriter department was located.

In their own company, neither of them wore masks or sunglasses.

"Wow, it's Sister Mi and Reba!"

"Reba and Sister Mi are both so beautiful. They look much prettier in person than on TV."

"They are all so skinny, Sister Mi is really big!"

"Hey, Reba's butt is also lifted!"

“…”

Both male and female employees were very excited to see two popular female stars.

Reba and Yang Mi also waved and greeted them openly.

From now on, we are all one family.

"Honey, Reba."

Qin Wen heard the noise, walked out of the office, and greeted the two with a smile.

"Director Qin."

Yang Mi and Reba didn't dare to be arrogant and called out politely.

Before coming here, I got a lot of inside information from Qi Sheng.

The most important department in the entire company is the screenwriting department.

As the head of the screenwriting department, Qin Wen is Qi Sheng's most respected and trusted confidant.

To be able to become top stars, their emotional intelligence must be good.

"I heard from Mr. Lin earlier that the agency for both of you will be transferred from Jiahang."

"It just so happens that I have a few scripts here, you can choose from them later."

Qin Wen enthusiastically pulled them into the office, mostly out of consideration for Qi Sheng's sake.

As a master-level screenwriter, she naturally won't worry about finding a new job.

Many film and television companies dream of poaching her.

"Zhou Sheng Ru Gu, Si Teng, Meng Hua Lu, Cang Lan Jue, Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes, Feng Chu Ban Xia, and The World."

What is happiness?

At this moment, Yang Mi and Reba felt a conflict they had never felt before.

The scripts in front of me are all excellent.

There were even a few scripts that made them feel a little ashamed.

He was afraid that his performance would lower the script's rating.

"Director Qin, can we choose from these scripts?"

Yang Mi had always felt that changing her job would not be of much help to her.

But now I realize how stupid my idea was.

The difference between Jiahang's screenwriting department and Universal Entertainment's is like heaven and earth.

No matter which of these scripts, the performance will not be bad.

It is conceivable how shocked Yang Mi was.

"Although you can all choose, I suggest that Mimi consider the following dramas."

"You have reached an age where you are no longer suitable for acting in love costume dramas. Transformation is your top priority!"

Qin Wen did not interrupt them while looking through the script. When she heard Yang Mi's question, she smiled and gave a suggestion.

As for whether Yang Micai accepts it or not, it has nothing to do with her.

"As for Reba, you can still shoot a few costume dramas to continue to consolidate your existing fan base. There is no rush to transform."

Qin Wen took out two scripts and gave her own suggestions.

"Both 'Zhou Sheng Ru Gu' and 'Dream of Red Mansions' are S-level dramas that the company will invest heavily in producing."

"If Reba is interested, the heroine roles of these two dramas can be given to you!"

"By the way, our company's S-level production has a production cost of more than 250 million."

"Boss Lin asked you to reject The Long Ballad earlier, and I personally support that."

"The other party's production budget is only 120 million, and many large-scale scenes will definitely be cut out to save costs."

"Filming this kind of lousy drama will only bring you bad luck, and there will be no benefit."

After hearing Qin Wen's well-organized analysis, Reba naturally would not refuse the other party's kindness.

"Thank you, Director Qin. I will choose these two scripts then."

Reba also understands that there are many actresses in the company and the resources are very limited.

Being able to play the leading role in two S-level blockbusters is already a great favor from Qi Sheng to her.

The treatment is almost the same as Gu Pan’s.

"As long as you are satisfied."

Qin Wen smiled and nodded, and her liking for Reba increased significantly.

Not being greedy and knowing when to advance and retreat, no wonder he can become a top star.

"Mi Mi, have you made your choice?"

Qin Wen looked at Yang Mi who was still struggling, and understood that this choice was indeed difficult for her.

He started out by starring in idol dramas and costume dramas, and is now trying to transition into making serious dramas.

For Yang Mi, this was a gamble.

The bet was won, bringing a double harvest of word-of-mouth business.

If you lose the bet, you will face overwhelming ridicule.

"Director Qin, I choose "Happiness to Ten Thousand Homes" and "Wind Blows Midsummer."

Yang Mi took a deep breath and prepared herself for a reputational Waterloo.

At worst, I’d just retire from the entertainment industry and go back to have a baby for Qi Sheng.

With this mentality, Yang Mi no longer worried about it.

"Smart choice, you won't regret it!"

Qin Wen smiled with satisfaction and put away the rest of the script.

"You can go see Ms. Lin. She will help you plan the specific shooting time and itinerary."

As the director of the screenwriting department, Qin Wen should not be too busy.

Being able to spare a few hours to accompany Yang Mi and Reba in selecting scripts was already an exception.

If it were Jiang Shuying and Mao Xiaotong, it would be difficult for them to see her.

Who made Yang Mi and Reba sign S-level contracts?

Not only is the profit higher, but the status is also very different.

…

Just when Yang Mi and the others were shocked by the strength of the big company.

Qi Sheng brought Tan Hua and others to Hangzhou to attend the opening ceremony of West Lake Hotel.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

After a year, the renovation of West Lake Hotel was finally completed.

Banyan Tree Hotel is officially launched and is accepting reservations.

The gimmick is that you can see the most beautiful sunset over West Lake, and also provide the best sleeping experience.

Banyan Tree West Lake has not yet opened, but all rooms for the next month have been booked out.

Even the downgraded Angsana Xixi Wetland Park Hotel remains fully booked.

What the country lacks the least is rich people.

Especially in Hangzhou, a popular tourist city, there are crowds of tourists.

Spending a little more money can give you a good sleeping experience, and many people are willing to spend this money.

"boss."

Zhou Meng looked at Tan Huan who was getting out of the car with Qi Sheng's arm and shouted hurriedly.

"Hello, Madam Boss."

"Hello."

Tan Huan smiled and nodded. She didn't expect that Qi Sheng would bring her to attend the hotel's opening ribbon-cutting ceremony.

"I haven't seen you for over a year. You look good."

Qi Sheng smiled and patted Zhou Meng on the shoulder.

When the hotel in Xixi Wetland was listed as Banyan Tree, Zhou Neng performed very well.

Now that the renovation of West Lake Hotel is completed, Zhou Neng has been promoted to a higher level as he wished.

"Hey, I can't compare with you. Mr. Chen is receiving several leaders. Please come in."

Zhou Meng's face was flushed and he bent over to lead the way.

Chen Ye also hurried to the hotel lobby and happened to bump into Qi Sheng and the others.

"Chairman."

Chen Ye greeted respectfully.

"How long will it take for the hotel opening ceremony to begin?"

Qi Sheng smiled and waved his hand, asking casually.

"In half an hour, several leaders would like to talk to you. Is that convenient for you?"

After Chen Ye answered, he asked carefully.

"Then just chat."

Qi Sheng patted Tan Huan's hand, and followed Chen Ye to the reception room on the top floor of the hotel.

"Leaders, this is the chairman of our Banyan Tree Group, Mr. Qi Sheng."

Chen Ye knocked on the door, walked in and introduced himself with a smile.

"Hey, hello, Mr. Qi."

Chen Ye had already introduced the identities of several leaders before.

The one with the highest official position is just the fourth in command in the district.

With Qi Sheng's status, he really doesn't need to care about them.

However, don't hit someone who smiles at you.

Qi Sheng was quite polite and simply shook hands and exchanged a few words with them.

When the opening ceremony was about to begin, Qi Sheng and several other leaders arrived outside the hotel.

The stage set up in advance is ready.

As the host, Chen Ye gave an impassioned speech and then said.

“I hereby declare that the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the opening of Banyan Tree Westlake Hotel, a brand of Banyan Tree Group, has officially begun!”

Qi Sheng and his friends cut the red ribbon, and the hotel staff all applauded.

The male employees were fine, but the female employees were more likely to discuss it quietly.

My boss is so handsome that it’s unfair.

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Chen Ye also had to entertain this group of leaders.

Qi Sheng was too lazy to participate and just walked around the hotel with Tan Huan.

With Zhou Meng as my companion, it wasn't boring at all.

After getting tired of visiting the hotel, I went for a walk along the West Lake.

This kind of ordinary daily life as a couple is a luxury for Tan Huan.

"Honey, it's been a long time since we've walked together alone like this."

Tan Huan held Qi Sheng's arm, her tone quite emotional.

"Then I'll spend more time with you in the future."

Qi Sheng felt a little guilty and couldn't help but hug his girlfriend's slender waist.

"Oh, I don't blame you. I know it's not easy for you. You have been fighting for our big family."

"I heard from Yingying that you signed a gambling agreement. We are all worried about you."

"Even if you really have nothing, we will fight with you!"

Tan Huan saw Qi Sheng's embarrassed look and burst out laughing.

"Don't worry about the bet. If I wasn't sure, I wouldn't do it."

Qi Sheng rubbed Tan Huan's head, and his heart couldn't help but feel warm.

"Yeah, I believe you!"

Tan Huan looked at Qi Sheng with her sparkling eyes, full of blind trust in him.

In her heart, Qi Sheng is omnipotent.

No matter what industry, as long as Qi Sheng does it.

Only success, never failure.

Apart from being a playboy, Qi Sheng is indeed the perfect man that every girl fantasizes about.

But we can't blame him entirely for being fickle.

If you want to blame someone, you can only blame the system.

Fortunately, Qi Sheng has already cleared the system and does not need to blindly increase the number of girlfriends.

We walked around the West Lake for more than an hour.

Qi Sheng and Tan Huan talked about how they had known each other until now, and then talked about family and hobbies.

Only when Tan Huan felt a little tired did they get in the car and return to Yunqi Rose Garden.

Before leaving for the New Year, Qi Sheng had promised his parents.

I want to buy them an authentic Jiangnan garden villa.

Qiu Lei has been working on this matter for some time.

But it is somewhat difficult to accommodate their whole family at the same time.

There is no villa in the whole Hangzhou that meets Qi Sheng’s requirements.

But as long as you have money, there is no problem that cannot be solved.

Qi Sheng spent 400 million yuan to buy two Chinese-style courtyard houses in Yunqi Rose Garden.

The two courtyards together cover an area of ​​8 acres, with the main courtyard covering 3,600 square meters.

It has 10 bedrooms, 16 courtyards and 8 parking spaces.

The two Chinese-style courtyard houses are both the first row of villas facing the lake in the community.

It faces south and has excellent feng shui.

Even if their whole family moved in, it would be no problem at all.

Living in the same city for a long time will make you bored easily.

It just so happened that the villa in Yunqi Rose Garden met the old couple’s requirements for the Jiangnan garden style.

There are flowing water under the small bridge, white walls and black tiles, and an ancient charm.

Apart from being a little expensive, there is almost nothing wrong with it.

Qi Zhizhong and Zhu Min still haven't digested the surprise of living in a mansion worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

They both feel proud of their son's success.

There is one thing: more people are borrowing money.

Living here in Hangzhou is at least quiet enough.

If there is a choice.

Who would like to live in the icy and snowy north instead of the south where it’s spring all year round?

"Huanhuan is back."

When Zhu Min saw Qi Sheng and Tan Huan holding hands, he felt both relieved and guilty.

Who could have thought that Qi Sheng would give her such a big surprise.

These daughters-in-law are all beautiful and can coax people.

Although Tan Huan is also very good, how can a mother not be partial to her son?

What's more, there is no elderly person who doesn't want to have more grandchildren.

If I only have Tan Huan as my daughter-in-law, there’s a chance that I won’t even have a grandson.

But with so many daughters-in-law, Zhu Min is worried about how to coax her grandchildren in the future.

"Auntie, are you and uncle satisfied with this villa?"

Tan Huan let go of Qi Sheng's hand and warmly embraced Zhu Min.

"Of course I am satisfied. His father and I never dreamed that we would live in such a beautiful big house."

Zhu Min was grinning from ear to ear, not to mention how proud he was.

As her son is successful, she, as a mother, naturally feels more proud.

"We will also live in Hangzhou during this period. Once you and uncle have adapted, we will come back to live here during the Chinese New Year."

Seeing Zhu Min so satisfied, Tan Huan also breathed a sigh of relief.

It took her a long time to decide on these two Chinese-style courtyard houses.

If Zhu Min, her future mother-in-law, was not satisfied, she didn't know how depressed she would be.

There's nothing I can do about it, she has so many sisters.

If she wanted to maintain her position as the queen, she had to serve the Queen Mother Zhu Min well.

Fortunately, Zhu Min has always been very fond of her.

In terms of status, other girlfriends are far inferior to her.

Qi Sheng didn't disturb the mother and daughter who were chatting animatedly, and went to have tea with Comrade Lao Qi.

Qi Zhizhong was fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan, drinking tea and listening to novels.

It was so comfortable.

After working hard for half of my life, I finally have the opportunity to enjoy the second half of my life.

The father and son chatted about all sorts of things until they were interrupted by Zhu Min.

"You should spend more time with Huanhuan. This girl is your first one. Don't treat her badly."

Zhu Min glared at Qi Sheng, indirectly expressing his love for Tan Huan.

"rest assured."

Qi Sheng smiled and nodded, and didn't flip the cards that night.

Just sleep directly in the Queen's room.

As for the other concubines, I can only say sorry.

There's nothing we can do about it, it's because they didn't get the Queen Mother's choice.
