"Hmm? Someone's here."
Little Yuzu sat up when she heard the knock on the door; it was exactly 4:30.
Dika opened the door at that moment.
A middle-aged man nodded to Dika, then looked at Luo Chen: "Hello, Mr. Luo, I am Gong Xing, the chief director of 'Phoenix'."
He was thin, wearing an oversized suit, and carrying a thick stack of documents, looking very reserved.
Little Yuzi watched him and his brother interact obediently.
But in my heart I thought: This director really has it tough.
"Director Gong, please have a seat." Luo Chen nodded to Dika, who immediately brought Gong Xing a chair.
"President Luo." Gong Xing walked over, wiped his hands on his trouser leg, and then extended his hand.
His hands were rough, bearing the marks of time.
At this moment, his hand trembled, and his face looked embarrassed.
Luo Chen is the president of the Luo Group, so it's only natural that he doesn't shake hands with me.
Gong Xing was at a loss for what to do.
"Hello."
To Gong Xing's surprise, Luo Chen stood up and took his hand, without a trace of disgust in his eyes.
Gong Xing finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The young and successful CEO in front of me didn't seem as ruthless as the rumors suggested.
Luo Chen said casually, "Sit down, don't stand."
Little Yuzu glanced curiously at Luo Chen's expression, feeling that her brother was acting strangely.
Gong Xing patted himself on the shoulder before sitting down in the chair.
He placed the documents on his lap, rested his hands on them, and kept his legs together.
He was clearly very reserved.
Luo Chen noticed his nervousness and said in a friendly tone, "Let's begin."
Gong Xing paused for a moment before finally revealing a tired smile.
"First of all, thank you, Mr. Luo, for your support of the film. I would like to ask why your company invested in our film? Because many people are not optimistic about it and it is very expensive."
The film will require a lot of special effects in post-production, which will be very expensive.
No matter how much he cuts costs, he can't save much money.
It's a 'rotten' project that no investor wants to take on.
"No problem." Luo Chen said casually, but it left a ripple in Gong Xing's heart.
Gong Xing struggled in the entertainment industry for many years.
Years ago, he made a movie called "Retrospective," a suspenseful and heartwarming film that became an instant sensation and raked in billions of dollars.
However, he did not produce any new works for many years afterward, until his reputation as a director faded away.
Because he offended a director who was working with him at the same time, and that person was very rich and kept stealing Gong Xing's resources from her.
He snatched the notebook that Gong Xing had his eye on.
Gong Xing, who had worked hard to secure the script, found a suitable lead actor, and he snatched it away as well.
The investors that Gong Xing had worked so hard to get were directly snatched away by him.
Just because Gong Xing had stolen his thunder, he stole Gong Xing's life.
This script was left behind by his good friend before he died.
He wanted to film it.
Unexpectedly, they were noticed by the Luo Group.
While he was pleasantly surprised, he was also worried, fearing that this was a trap set for him by that person.
Are you worried?
Xiao Youzi looked at the nervous Gong Xing and asked with a light laugh.
When Gong Xing first looked at Xiao Youzi, his eyes lit up for a moment, then he nodded awkwardly.
With a slight smile, Xiaoyouzi said, "Don't worry, you're already here, you should be able to sense whether it's a scam or not."
Luo Chen said, "Let me take a look at your proposal first."
"good!"
Gong Xing placed the proposal on top and gave it to Luo Chen, explaining, "The following are the celebrity lineups I've drafted, with costs kept to a minimum."
Because they couldn't afford to hire celebrities who cost tens of millions of yuan, Gong Xing and everyone else had thought about it carefully for a long time.
Among them were those who intended to use connections.
It's just that people might not be willing to come.
Luo Chen didn't immediately offer his opinion, but instead beckoned to Xiao Youzi: "Xiao Youzi, come and take a look."
"Here I am!"
Gong Xing didn't understand why Luo Chen called her "Little Pomelo".
But the way he looked at Xiaoyouzi was somewhat intense.
Because the little pomelo is very pretty and fits the image of one of the characters in the story.
I just don't know if that young lady is willing.
He had kept himself out of the public eye for many years, immersing himself in his creative work, and was even unaware that Xiaoyouzi had participated in a variety show.
Luo Chen looked at it carefully and realized that the most expensive part was the special effects.
"Let's look at the main actors first. Director Gong, please introduce them." Luo Chen held the main actors' information and looked at Gong Xing.
Gong Xing immediately said, "The lead actor is a second-tier star who is very good-looking and fits the role of Phoenix perfectly."
"Isn't this your best option?" Luo Chen glanced at the actor's qualifications.
She's acted in several idol dramas, her acting skills are pretty good, and she's a professionally trained actress, but she's just not famous.
Luo Chen originally knew nothing about the film industry, but he only learned a little about it through Assistant Dai's arrangement after Luo Li entered the industry.
Gong Xing didn't know how Luo Chen figured it out, but nodded and said, "Yes, my top choice is actor Bai Ningyi."
"It's just that Bai Yingdi has been retired from the entertainment industry for many years, and we can't find him now."
With Bai Ningyi's temperament, she's absolutely perfect for playing the role of Phoenix.
Unfortunately, we couldn't find this person anywhere.
Translated by Bai Ning?
Upon hearing this name, Luo Chen subconsciously looked at Xiao Youzi.
Little Yuzu shook her head.
My master's condition is completely unsuitable for acting; if he continues to act, it will be disastrous.
Gong Xing stared wide-eyed, not understanding what riddle Xiao Youzi and Luo Chen were playing.
Luo Chen then asked, "It's alright, continue."
