Looking at the four scripts placed by Zhuang Li, the eyes of all the stars in the conference room were burning with fire.
They understand that if they can get a role in "The Legend of the Great Witch," they will have the opportunity to move up to the next level. How many people did "Dream of the Red Chamber" make famous? How many more did "Journey to the West" make famous?
With such a super IP, even if you only get the role of a little girl or even a little monster, as long as you perform well, you can still stand out.
Everyone's mind was in turmoil, and the conference room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone is waiting for Mr. Zhuang's decision.
This meeting established his authority in the company and made all those who did not trust him understand that his abilities were obviously much more outstanding than those of the previous CEO Long.
After being acquired, Huanyu will go downhill? That's impossible!
Artists who had previously considered terminating their contracts with the company are now unwilling to leave even if they are beaten to death.
Without Huanyu, they would have no share in the coveted piece of cake, "The Legend of the Great Witch".
Fang Yu was filled with regret at this moment. In his memory, in his previous life, nothing had happened to Queen Li, Queen Wang, and Emperor Liu. Consequently, the movies and TV series they starred in had all been successfully released in the near future and had achieved impressive results.
At that time, when these crews sent out audition notices, Fang Yu also wanted to go and snatch it up, but he had no choice but to think that he was a rookie and lacked the qualifications to compete with these old seniors, and he did not dare to offend them, so he could only think about it in his heart.
After Zhuang Li ruined the reputation of these four people, Fang Yu was heartbroken for a long time when he saw the works starring them that were rejected by the General Administration and could have been big hits.
But now it seems that Zhuang Li had already thought about the aftermath before he even laid out his plan. He could destroy the universe, or he could rebuild it overnight.
In the eyes of outsiders, Universe seems to be in danger. Due to the continuous cancellation of many major productions, it is impossible for Universe to solve the problem of huge losses.
However, after this meeting, Huanyu’s internal employees realized that the huge losses, broken capital chain, and lack of subsequent profits were all illusions!
The facts are completely contrary to outside speculation. The world is embracing huge business opportunities one after another.
The new shareholders who had helped Zhuang Li acquire Huanyu burst into applause. One of the young shareholders exclaimed, "Mr. Zhuang, I knew the word 'lose' didn't exist in your vocabulary!"
Zhuang Li glanced at him with a smile.
The Golden Finger system introduced, "You should know this person. You met him at the brothel. He's the son of the richest man in Province G, and one of the wealthy men who fell for Zhuang Li at the brothel. And then there's that music producer, JK. He also fell for Zhuang Li at the brothel. When Zhuang Li was in trouble, these people were willing to give their all to help him, and Wen Renming was even willing to give his life for him."
"So, do you see? This is the highest-level strategy. Zhuang Li doesn't need to be a lapdog or a loyal dog like you. A casual smile from him can capture everyone's heart. He can control anyone to do anything for him. If I can bind him, the luck of the whole world will be mine!"
At this point, the Golden Finger System unexpectedly understood the feeling of heartache without any instruction.
It covered its chest and closed its mouth silently.
Fang Yu lost all his strength in the growing regret and unwillingness.
He thought his reborn self would be able to seize every opportunity to reach the top. But in the end, he discovered that he had thrown away his greatest opportunity at the very beginning. If he hadn't considered Zhuang Li an imaginary enemy, if he had remained a close friend, then today, he would have everything he wanted.
Thinking of this, Fang Yu also covered his chest which was in great pain.
Zhuang Li said slowly, "Zhou Zhou, you go audition for the leading male role; Wen Pu, you go audition for the second male role. The rest of you who want an audition opportunity, please contact Mr. Kong Wu. He will make the final decision."
Zhuang Li held up two scripts and looked at the two handsome and elegant young male actors sitting in the second row.
Director Zhao, who was arrested by the police, had previously ridiculed these two people as cats and dogs.
However, what is even more ironic is that it was precisely these two random people who were given such a precious audition opportunity by Mr. Zhuang, while other popular stars in the world had to compete with countless outstanding actors.
This is a blatant backdoor approach! Why? Could it be that Mr. Zhuang has taken a fancy to these two people?
When everyone's thoughts began to diverge in a bad direction, an actress took out her mobile phone, looked through the Weibo posts that the two had posted a while ago, and found the truth.
Not surprisingly, they were indeed the few people in the company who stood up to support Zhuang Zong when the whole network was blackening him.
To be fair, in exchange for two opportunities to become global celebrities, is this a good deal?
This isn't just a good deal, it's a bloody profit!
Many popular celebrities took a deep breath at this thought. They once again felt a deep sense of regret, and then they all cast resentful glances at Zhuang Yuan, the instigator. If this person hadn't been behind the incident, they wouldn't have stabbed Zhuang Yuan.
Zhou Zhou and Wen Pu were still in a daze, but their agent had already screamed in ecstasy, then pushed them hard, signaling them to go up and get the script.
Fuck! It feels so good to have someone as powerful as me! I’m about to ascend to heaven!
Indeed, for all the stars present, becoming the protagonist of "The Great Witch" is a chance to soar to fame. If the film version of "The Great Witch" can be as exciting as the physical book, it will surely create a box office miracle.
Anyone who participates in his role will gain huge popularity.
But can the world do this?
After watching Mr. Zhuang's 3D animation, everyone understood the answer was a resounding yes. Mr. Zhuang is capable of perfectly recreating any of the book's magical and magnificent scenes. Mr. Kongwu's willingness to sell the film and television rights to him is the ultimate affirmation.
As long as it maintains this level, "The Legend of the Great Witch" has already booked the box office championship!
Zhou Zhou and Wen Pu hurriedly squeezed in from the back row and took the two heavy scripts with their sweaty hands. Their heads were buzzing, and they were already stunned by the huge surprise.
They never thought that such a precious opportunity would fall upon them.
Why?
They looked at Mr. Zhuang with tears in their eyes.
Zhuang Li reminded him, "All I can get you are two audition opportunities. Whether or not you'll be chosen by Mr. Kongwu depends on you. Go back and study the script carefully, and try your best to bring out your best acting skills."
"Okay, we got it. Thank you, Mr. Zhuang." The two of them quickly bent down and bowed deeply. After returning to their seats, they looked at each other, their expressions still confused.
Their agent, grinning from ear to ear, vowed, "Don't worry, Mr. Zhuang. I'll urge them to read the script and practice their acting skills when we get back. They promise not to let you down."
Zhuang Li nodded slightly, then looked around at everyone.
At the beginning of the meeting, under his gaze, the attitudes of these stars were indifferent, even indifferent.
But that’s not the case now.
Now they have come to understand that Mr. Zhuang is far more capable than Mr. Long. As long as he is pleased, he can send you the best resources in the entertainment industry and take your career to a whole new level.
So when he looked over, everyone tensed their heads, straightened their backs, and put on ingratiating smiles, including Fang Yu and Zhuang Yuan.
Zhuang Li withdrew his gaze and turned to look at the shareholders, chuckling softly, "Are you relieved now?"
Several new shareholders laughed heartily and said, "Boss Zhuang, look at what you're saying. Why should we be worried about you? Everyone knows you never lose. You don't need to ask for our opinion on anything you want to do in the future. We can just invest money in the company without hesitation."
The other old shareholders also smiled with relief.
Huanyu's development momentum is so strong! They were right to insist on staying!
Zhuang Li promised: "Follow me, you won't regret it."
These words, with their strong protection and gentle promise, instantly brought the shareholders closer to him and gave them a subtle sense of belonging. They vaguely felt that they were in this together with Mr. Zhuang.
Then everyone started laughing again, their eyes and brows filled with the warmth and harmony of a family.
Such a board of directors has obviously been controlled by Zhuang Li.
The Golden Finger System said with envy, "Did you see that? The best strategy is this: a simple sentence can make everyone around you completely devoted to you. These people only met Zhuang Li once in the brothel, but after they separated, they still remained loyal to him. Can you do it? You worked so hard to be a lickspittle, but Sun Xiaojia and the others' favorability towards you has dropped to zero in an instant! Where exactly did you fail? Have you ever thought about it?"
Fang Yu had certainly thought about it, but he couldn't figure it out. If he could have the same ability to control people's hearts as Zhuang Li, why would he need the Golden Finger System?
Seeing the surprised smiles on Zhou Zhou and Wen Pu's faces, he only blamed himself for being short-sighted and failing to maintain his friendship with Zhuang Li.
If he were still Zhuang Li's best friend, he would definitely be the leading actor in "The Legend of the Great Witch"!
Sitting in the front row, Zhuang Yuan kept texting his father and sister, asking them to quickly find a way to ease the tension between him and Zhuang Li. He was so anxious!
Zhuang Li looked at his watch and said calmly, "Let's adjourn the meeting."
This meant that he had already distributed all his profits, and the only ones who benefited were those who supported him. This was understandable. In the past, President Long only praised the men and women he had slept with, and everyone was used to it.
This is how the circle is.
However, will President Zhuang suppress those who have stepped on him?
Many celebrities broke out in cold sweats at the thought of this, and their agents were also filled with worry.
Tang Mi was the most nervous and anxious among them. He pulled Zhuang Yuan aside and whispered, "Should we terminate the contract?"
"Are you crazy? Huanyu has obtained the film and television rights of "The Legend of the Great Witch". Are we stupid to terminate the contract with the company at this time? By the way, doesn't Zhuang Li like you? Go and sleep with him. Please help me get the male lead of "The Legend of the Great Witch". "Zhuang Yuan's eyes lit up.
In order to obtain this resource, he used everyone he could.
Hearing these words, Tang Mi's heart sank to the bottom in an instant.
The man he loved the most actually asked him to sleep with someone else just for a role? Did he hear it wrong?
When Tang Mi was about to fall into the ice hole, he couldn't help but think of Zhuang Li, the man who had treated him with the most sincere heart in the world.
He remembers his birthday, knows his every preference, can always detect his mood changes and make him happy, and can also stand up and protect him under his wings when he is bullied.
He would never say such words that treat people as if they were not human.
Tang Mi stared at Zhuang Yuan's profile, her eyes gradually turning red, and her aggrieved expression seemed to be seeking an explanation from the other party.
However, Zhuang Yuan didn't even bother to look at him. He was texting rapidly with his father and sister. To him, profit was the most important thing, and everything else could be discarded.
As Tang Mi walked, his pace slowed down, and he finally stood still, silently watching Zhuang Yuan walk into the elevator without noticing.
He lost someone but never found out, which shows that this person is not important to him at all.
However, Zhuang Li would deliberately slow down his pace and wait for him to walk side by side.
The elevator door closed. Tang Mi looked at his lonely reflection in the door and couldn't help but smile sadly. Just for such a terrible person, he lost the one who loved him the most.
