With Dandan's sadness, Mr. Jin shamelessly had lunch at Charles Schwab.
Jiaxin's work meal was okay, but it was far from the standard of President Jin's social gatherings outside. Gong Sheng suggested going to a restaurant to eat. President Jin looked at Xie Qian and said that it was okay for him to have a work meal.
After lunch, Xie Qian, Gong Sheng and Xu Mei accompanied President Jin to the company gate. President Jin was actually a little excited.
When facing Xie Qian alone, Mr. Jin didn't know what to address him.
Call me Mr. Xie?
Something seems wrong.
It would be even more wrong to call him Mr. Xie.
Mr. Jin simply laughed it off and said, "As long as the Jiaxin project is launched, my funds will be available at any time."
"Thank you for your trust."
Mr. Jin was willing to invest 15 million to 20 million yuan, so Xie Qian was naturally polite to the God of Wealth.
Without outsiders, Xie Qian asked Xu Mei to look at the script herself: "Choose if there is a role that suits you."
Xu Mei was surprised: "Let me choose for myself?"
"Normally, an agent will help you choose the script, but my advice is to rely on yourself rather than others. No one knows better than you what kind of roles you can play and what kind of roles you want to play."
"...What kind of roles can I choose?"
Xu Mei's heart was pounding.
She has been playing supporting roles since her debut.
Even though the new drama of the Taiwanese romance queen is said to have two female protagonists, the role of "sister" is still not the first female protagonist.
When Xie Qian said this, did it mean that as long as she wanted, she could be the heroine in the company's play?
Being looked at by Xu Mei with expectation, Xie Qian's train of thought was not disturbed at all: "I'm talking about the role that suits you, the heroine or the supporting actress. You need to judge for yourself."
Xu Mei's burning heart was suddenly poured with a basin of cold water.
What exactly does Xie Qian mean? Does he agree with her playing the leading female role?
The meaning is not expressed clearly. Are you testing her?
Xu Mei was in a dilemma holding the script.
Ambitious, she of course wanted to play the leading female role, but she was also afraid that her ambition would displease her new boss.
Forget it, let’s read the script first!
Xu Mei found a chair in the office and sat down, flipping through the script in his hand.
Zhang Guangzhen is from Taiwan. Is it possible for a screenwriter like him to write a story about the alleys of Shanghai?
Xu Mei had doubts before reading the script, but was very surprised after reading it.
"Teacher Zhang really knows the alleys of Shanghai."
While Xu Mei was carefully reading the script, Xie Qian and Gong Sheng were talking in front of her. After Xu Mei finished reading, Xie Qian and Gong Sheng paused the conversation and waited for her to make a choice.
"Teacher Zhang's ancestral home is Shanghai. Before liberation, his family elders went to Taiwan. He had long had the idea of creating a work on this subject. Jiaxin simply happened to encounter Teacher Zhang's creative period."
Xie Qian explained a few words, and Xu Mei suddenly understood: "No wonder! I was saying that Teacher Zhang wrote this script so well. It turns out that it embodies Teacher Zhang's love for his hometown. The stories of several families in the script gave me a sense of déjà vu, as if they happened around me. Each character is not a big shot, but they are all flesh and blood."
After saying this, Xu Mei was stunned.
She is from Shanghai.
I grew up in an alley in an ordinary family, and only after reading Zhang Guangzhen's scripts did I feel a sense of familiarity.
So Xie Qian asked her to pick a role. Not only did Jiaxin arrange work for her this year, but he also really thought she was suitable for it?
Just now Xu Mei felt that she couldn't guess the new boss's thoughts, but now she realizes that she might have thought too much. The new boss was not testing her, he just said what he meant.
For a moment, Xu Mei wanted to cry.
President Jin was right, she was really lucky. She was so lucky to meet a real boss like Xie Qian!
If it was Mr. Guan, he would definitely make hypocritical promises and promise her that she could play the leading role, but in the end, he would disappoint her again and again.
After the previous unpleasant experience, Xu Mei was fed up with the boss who only made empty promises!
Xu Mei thought carefully about the role in the script and said, "I want to play 'Si Lei', is that okay?"
"Have you made your choice? I remember that the character 'Si Lei' isn't the heroine in terms of the role."
Xie Qian confirmed with Xu Mei, who nodded, "I've chosen. I like the role of Si Lei, and I think I can play it well. I'm willing to accept not being the heroine."
Xie Qian said that the female lead might not necessarily be suitable.
After reading the entire script, Xu Mei understood what this meant.
The heroine in Zhang Guangzhen's story is a somewhat miserable and saintly character. Not only is she always bullied, but she is also generous enough to forgive those who bully her. She does have a lot of scenes, but Xu Mei felt very aggrieved after watching them.
Xu Mei now particularly hates bosses who make empty promises, and she also particularly hates this kind of character who reminds her of unpleasant memories.
Life is frustrating enough, and when it comes to acting, Xu Mei wants to play a role that is thrilling and exciting!
"Okay, then you'll play 'Si Lei'."
Xie Qian finalized the matter. Xu Mei stood up with a tactful look and said, "Then I'll go back to my acting class. I won't disturb you two from talking about business anymore."
As soon as Xu Mei left, Gong Sheng smiled.
"How is it? Has Xu Mei undergone a complete transformation?"
When talking with President Jin, including when Xu Mei was present, Gong Sheng tried to reduce his presence as much as possible. Now that only he and Xie Qian were left in the office, Gong Sheng spoke freely.
"We'll have to wait and see."
Xie Qian's eyes were filled with fatigue. "If the company wants to invest resources in her, they should first see if she's worth it."
Xu Mei had left such a deep impression on Xie Qian before that Xie Qian was not sure whether Xu Mei had really been reborn.
Artists who are clever but fake in intelligence are the ones who are smart. Only artists who are truly wise can go far!
Gong Sheng asked Xie Qian when he would return to Chengdu, and Xie Qian asked Gong Sheng to help book a flight three days later.
"Mr. Jin is willing to invest 15 million to 20 million yuan. Oriental TV is also interested in investing some money. We will talk to Producer Xu again. Once this is finalized, I will leave."
Two months is not a long time, but Xie Qian was willing to be Gong Sheng's assistant and figure out the operation of the film and television company by himself, and he also had to participate in the affairs of the logistics company. Fortunately, Xie Qian was smart and learned quickly. If an ordinary person had tried to pursue two careers at the same time, he would have become schizophrenic!
Perhaps because it was too fulfilling, Xie Qian felt that these two months were particularly long.
Although he never ate the fried skewers at the gate of Chengdu Provincial Key School, he missed the fried skewers shop at the school gate very much at this moment.
We can go back in three days.
Before leaving, in addition to negotiating the Jiaxin project with Oriental TV, he also had to make arrangements for Inspector Luo.
Inspector Luo, who has been defeated time and again on the road to entrepreneurship, decides to completely join forces with Xie Qian and Zou Weijun, accepts Zou Weijun's commission, and helps Zou Weijun investigate the irrefutable evidence of Xie Jinghu's cheating.
In order to investigate the mistress and illegitimate children living in the United States, Inspector Luo must go abroad.
Neither traveling nor studying abroad is suitable for Inspector Luo, so he wants to go abroad to work.
If you take this chance, you might achieve financial freedom!
Inspector Luo is full of optimism about his future.
