Chapter 263 Inquiring about Each Other
Dong Peiyu thought of a piece of news she had just learned today and immediately started gossiping with Hu Xiaoxiao: "Luo Cheng invited a master from Thailand to come over and ask him to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirits from the building."
After leaving the teahouse that day, Hu Xiaoxiao asked Dong Peiyu to keep an eye on the Jinjing Building and alert her to any news.
Hu Xiaoxiao nodded, understanding what was going on.
"Xiaoxiao, do you think this Thai master can do it?"
"Who knows?"
Dong Peiyu decided to continue paying attention to the events in Jinjing Building. She was both scared and curious about such a strange incident.
At Starlight Film Company, compared to the previous times when she was only treated by a front desk receptionist, the treatment Dong Peiyu received today was obviously different.
Because the person next to her who entered the company with her was Li Huishan.
General Manager Yang of the film company came out to greet him personally, calling him Brother Shan cordially. "Brother Shan, if you have anything to say, just give me a call. Why would I bother you to come here in person?"
Li Huishan walked up to General Manager Yang with an expressionless face and looked at him unfriendlyly. The look made General Manager Li feel uneasy.
"The company's performance is getting worse year by year, and you're not even allowed to come over and take a look?"
General Manager Yang's forehead was covered in sweat. He smiled and said, "The company's employees are all working hard to make the movie. I believe this year's results will be better than last year's."
"I hope so, otherwise I won't be able to speak for you on Luo Sheng's side."
"Please do me a favor, Brother Shan, and say a few good words for me in front of Luo Sheng. I will be very grateful. Thank you, Brother Shan." General Manager Yang asked with a flattering look on his face.
Dong Peiyu came over and said with a smile, "Boss Yang, you need to have strength and achievements so that Brother Shan can speak well of you in front of Luo Sheng. If you don't have anything to show for yourself, aren't you just making things difficult for Brother Shan?"
"Ms. Dong, please don't come and make trouble." Seeing that Li Huishan's face became even more unfriendly, General Manager Yang quickly winked at Dong Peiyu.
"Boss Yang, I'm not here to cause trouble. I'm here to help you."
General Manager Yang knew Dong Peiyu was asking for resources for Hu Xiaoxiao's new film, but he couldn't help. He was already overwhelmed, so how could he spare any resources for Hu Xiaoxiao? "Miss Dong, are you asking about the male lead for Miss Hu's new film? I really can't help. They don't want to act. What can I do? I can't force them to act at gunpoint, right?"
"You're wrong this time. I don't want the big names from Starlight Films. I want to meet all the newcomers you signed, young, good-looking, and well-built male actors."
Want new people?
Still young and good-looking?
Doesn't it sound very reliable?
General Manager Yang looked at Li Huishan with a questioning look. Li Huishan didn't give him a good look. "Why are you looking at me? Just listen to Miss Dong."
With Li Huishan in charge, General Manager Yang didn't dare to fool around and ordered the human resources department to bring over the information of all young and handsome male artists.
These data include not only their height and weight, but also recent photos, making it clear at a glance.
Dong Peiyu selected them one by one according to Hu Xiaoxiao's requirements with the eyes of a professional agent.
Li Huishan sat aside playing with a lighter, feeling a little bored. He took a few pictures, looked at them, put them back, and continued playing with the lighter.
Find a newcomer to play the leading male role?
It’s not that he doesn’t believe in Hu Xiaoxiao, but can the male lead who has no box office appeal support the box office?
Hu Xiaoxiao alone can generate 20 million in box office revenue?
Unbelievable.
But thinking about Hu Xiaoxiao made him feel a little strange and mysterious——
"Ms. Dong." Li Huishan took a drag from a cigarette, holding it in his mouth without lighting it. "I heard that Miss Hu is born with abundant yang energy, which is good at fighting evil spirits. Is that true?"
Dong Peiyu looked up from the information and saw Li Huishan's inquiring eyes. She lowered her eyes, seemingly reading the information, but in fact she was turning the words over in her mind for a few times before she slowly said, "I've heard the old people say before that there are some people in this world who are blessed by God and pampered by God. Everything they do in their lives goes smoothly, and their luck is especially good, and their wealth is extremely prosperous. Xiaoxiao has been smooth sailing since his debut and has become very popular, so he must be that special person the old people talk about."
"Blessed by nature? Extraordinarily lucky?"
"Yes." Dong Peiyu said half-heartedly, "If someone is truly blessed by heaven, and someone opposes her, heaven will be angry and make that person extremely unlucky. On the other hand, if someone treats her well, heaven will be particularly pleased and make those around her luckier."
Li Huishan couldn't help but laugh. He put down his cigarette, looked Dong Peiyu up and down, and asked, "You and Hu Xiaoxiao have been together for such a long time. Do you feel any difference? For example, what you said is particularly smooth?"
"Everything is going well, of course. Not only that, but my fortune is also good." Dong Peiyu pointed at her face and said seriously, "Look at my face, it's glowing. Just look at my complexion and you'll know how good my life is."
In fact, I gained five pounds.
She eats well and eats a lot. When she goes to Hu Xiaoxiao's house to discuss things, Sister Xi often feeds her a lot of supplements. Mingxu across the street always packs a lot of delicious food every time he comes back, and she eats too. So she has gained five kilograms.
The reason why she only gained five kilograms was because she ran outside every day, which was very hard and exhausted her. Otherwise, she would have gained more than ten kilograms.
When a person is fat, but is motivated, hopeful, has goals and ideals, he will be full of energy and spirit.
Li Huishan stared at Dong Peiyu for several times, put the cigarette back in his mouth, and lit it thoughtfully.
Dong Peiyu quickly picked out nine people and asked the Human Resources Department to notify them to come to the company for an audition at noon tomorrow.
Who among them will be chosen as the male lead depends on what Hu Xiaoxiao chooses tomorrow.
With Li Huishan in charge, no one, whether General Manager Yang or the staff of the Human Resources Department, dared to neglect the matter and immediately called to notify them.
Artists don't have to punch in for work. When there's a film to shoot, they're on set, usually at a film studio. When there's no filming, they're either at home or out and about.
The Human Resources Department needs to notify them to come for auditions and needs to call them one by one.
With the help of Li Huishan, Dong Peiyu's work went much more smoothly. By the way, she also got a copy of the information of some talented supporting actors from Starlight Company for future casting.
At noon the next day, all the male artists who received the notice came to the company.
Because of the big fuss the day before, everyone in the company knew that Brother Shan was there to support them personally. In addition, Hu Xiaoxiao's film had a small investment but big ambitions, so it was the focus of gossip in the entire company from the beginning. Now, they have chosen a newcomer as the male lead. This is such an unusual thing that many people who have free time came to watch the fun.
