Chapter 249 You Offended Someone
In the end, they didn't play many rounds before it was time for dinner.
The wedding banquet was held in Tiancui City, a large restaurant owned by the Xie family, where one could have morning tea or entertain guests for dinner.
The housewarming party was very lively and all the guests had a great time.
After the meal, Mingxu stayed in his new home for a day and then rushed to the crew to film, while Hu Xiaoxiao also began to prepare for his new job.
First of all, it’s advertising. Seeing how rapidly she is entering the film industry, the businesses she previously worked with almost all took the initiative to renew their contracts with her.
In addition to previous partners, two new advertisers came to discuss cooperation.
When Dong Peiyu was helping Hu Xiaoxiao deal with these things, she was amazed by Hu Xiaoxiao's ability to make money. She finally understood why Hu Xiaoxiao not only had a mansion and a luxury car, but also a room full of brand-name products and jewelry in just a few years since her debut. She made money faster than picking up money.
Hu Xiaoxiao's income mainly comes from two sources: endorsement fees from commercials and commercial activities. Since Hu Xiaoxiao has a reputation among the upper class as a money-making talent, many large companies like to invite him to their grand openings or events.
Hu Xiaoxiao always dressed herself up beautifully, which was pleasing to the eyes. She was also good at talking, making both merchants and customers happy.
The more this happens, the more businesses like to invite Hu Xiaoxiao. Apart from other things, she is a first-class warm-up performer. She can speak and sing, and there is no place she can't liven up.
However, Hu Xiaoxiao is very picky and cannot be invited to ordinary activities.
Dong Peiyu busily helps Hu Xiaoxiao screen promotions and also finds time to keep up with the film industry. As a forward-thinking agent, she understands that Hu Xiaoxiao's confidence comes from his work, and that the popularity it generates is enduring. Therefore, she prioritizes future development over immediate profits.
Hu Xiaoxiao's first film was a huge hit at the box office, giving him a great start. Dong Peiyu felt even more confident when she went to discuss the collaboration.
"Xiaoxiao, I've got a movie for you. It's about the gambling king. Movies about gambling kings have been very popular in the past couple of years. This movie is also a New Year's film, aiming to be in the top ten of the annual box office. If you're interested, I'll take you to an audition tomorrow..."
Dong Peiyu sorted out the general information about the film and gave it to Hu Xiaoxiao, including the film's production company, director, investors, etc. As well as the director and the production team's previous films and the types of genres they were good at, she also gave them to Hu Xiaoxiao for reference.
Hu Xiaoxiao took it and looked through it. The information was neatly organized and clear at a glance. Whether it was the director or the production team, this film was ranked among the best in the industry. It was indeed a good resource.
The script only had a rough synopsis, and the heroine had fighting and gunfight scenes, and she was the type of heroine that was very popular with the audience.
As for the specific content of the script, not to mention that Hu Xiaoxiao has not yet passed the audition, even if he passed the audition it would be useless, because many of Baogang's films are written while shooting, and having a rough outline is already very reliable.
For a film like this made by an excellent team, the casting is usually done internally. If Dong Peiyu hadn't been well-informed and had a wide network of contacts, ordinary people wouldn't even have received any news about this film before it was released.
Hu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "Okay, let's go for the audition tomorrow."
The next day, Hu Xiaoxiao dressed up carefully and went for the audition. The audition process went very smoothly. As soon as the director saw Hu Xiaoxiao, he showed admiration.
After the audition, Dong Peiyu specifically asked the director for information. The director asked her to go back and wait for good news. He would notify her after he showed the boss the audition materials.
Seeing the director's expression, Dong Peiyu knew that everything was safe and felt relieved.
However, Dong Peiyu didn't receive a call from the director the next day, and she realized that she had been too worried too early.
When I went to inquire about the news again, I learned that the other party had chosen another female lead.
Dong Peiyu was a little surprised, so she put the matter aside for the time being and found some new resources for Hu Xiaoxiao.
However, every time during the audition, I was very confident and the other party was very enthusiastic, but in the end the heroine chose someone else.
Dong Peiyu was baffled. Several of these resources were people she had known for years. Even if Hu Xiaoxiao hadn't been chosen, they wouldn't have played a trick on her. Furthermore, she'd inquired and found out that the actress they'd chosen wasn't nearly as good-looking or as good-looking as Hu Xiaoxiao. But for him to suddenly change his mind, there had to be a reason.
Dong Peiyu immediately went to investigate the reason and find out who was playing a prank on her. Could it be that she had offended someone by grabbing resources too aggressively in the past?
After some investigation through her connections, Dong Peiyu was very surprised to learn the reason. She thought she had offended someone, but she didn't expect that it was Hu Xiaoxiao who had offended someone.
"Xiaoxiao, do you know Brother Hu?" After Dong Peiyu found out the result, she immediately went to Hu Xiaoxiao's house to inquire about this matter.
"Brother Tiger?"
"Brother Hu from Hu Teng Movies, when did you offend him?" Dong Peiyu was puzzled. Hu Xiaoxiao had just entered the film industry, so how did he get involved with Brother Hu?
Hu Xiaoxiao was chewing on some dried meat when he heard the name Hu Teng Movie, which sounded familiar. After a moment's thought, he suddenly realized something. "Hu Teng Company? A few years ago, an agent from their company wanted to sign me, but I refused."
Because she didn't agree to sign with Huteng Company, the other party held a grudge against her? So petty?
Dong Peiyu frowned. "This is getting a bit difficult. Brother Hu, the owner of Hu Teng Films, is the leader of the Sanren Society. He's extremely tyrannical and lawless in the film industry. He's particularly influential in District 5, and he's already made a vehement statement: Don't even think about showing any of your films in any theater in District 5."
Hu Xiaoxiao sat up straight. Did this man called Brother Hu want to cut off her path in the film industry?
It seems that after "Feng Yue Jian" became a little famous, it was targeted by them.
There are nearly a hundred cinemas in District Five. If the film cannot be shown in District Five, the box office will suffer heavy losses.
In order to consider the release issue, those directors had to give up no matter how much they admired Hu Xiaoxiao.
Dong Peiyu hadn't expected the situation to be so thorny. This industry was rife with gangsters, and every popular movie star had close ties to the underworld. But it was rare for someone like Hu Xiaoxiao to be targeted by a gangster right after entering the industry.
If this problem is not solved, Hu Xiaoxiao will have no way to get any acting jobs, and no one will dare to invite Hu Xiaoxiao to film.
After listening to Dong Peiyu's analysis of Brother Hu's position in the film industry, his usual domineering style, and the many cruel and ruthless things done by the Sanren Society, Hu Xiaoxiao knew that this matter was going to be difficult.
These people are unreasonable people, and what they do is robbing each other of their own. Hu Xiaoxiao thought about it, took out his bank card, considered the amount on the card, and said to Dong Peiyu: "Then find someone and confront him."
To stab someone to death.
