Chapter 76: Cheating One is One
"Qiao Ran, I see you have a remarkable talent and the potential to be a movie queen. Would you like to sign a contract with me? Let's work together for a bright and glorious future?"
Ye Dahuoyou was like a big bad wolf who wanted to kidnap other people's children. There was a dreamy tone in his voice, tempting Qiao Ran.
The two siblings were frightened.
Qiao Ran looked at her brother pitifully. Where did this crazy woman come from?
I was more worried about whether her brother had joined some weird agency?
There are many stories circulating in the school about seniors who were cheated. Countless people have had their careers ruined and are unable to pursue acting careers. They have to return to their hometowns and work hard from six in the morning to ten in the evening.
Isn’t it Jiang Fanyu’s company?
This building is indeed a star-studded one. She has come here to chase stars before.
However, other agencies also rent out this place.
Is this a wolf in sheep's clothing?
"However, my company is in the process of upgrading and doesn't yet have the qualifications to train artists. The contracts must be affiliated with Xingyao. Your brother and his colleagues have the same contracts. Is that acceptable?"
Oh, if that’s the case, Qiao Ran swallowed his doubts back.
The Xingyao signboard is still very effective.
The main thing is that Jiang Fanyu’s signature product works well for his fans.
"Then I'll...sign..."
Anyway, I got an A visa together with Qi Yi in a daze.
The contract states that if you meet certain standards based on your performance, you can upgrade your contract to the shareholder level.
"Okay, Xiaoqi, take them both upstairs to see Mr. Chu and help arrange a training course. We also need to arrange a nutritionist for Qi Yi."
Let Xiaoqi send the person to Xingyao.
Xingyao is a star-making factory, with everything systematic and a complete production line. Back then, President Chu selected the best trainees from the Japanese and Korean trainee lines and optimized them to create this team. The teachers they hired were all the best in the industry, and they spent a fortune.
To be the best in the industry, you must have something.
There are almost no Xingyao artists who have their contracts terminated, which means they are treated well and there are no hidden rules.
Regardless of the reputation in the industry, the professional ability of the artists is far superior to that of other companies that try to make a bad impression instead of a good one.
It would be a waste not to take advantage of such a good resource.
Ye Mengyu had never thought about investing in a training system herself, as she didn't have that much spare money.
I don't have the patience.
This kind of investment requires five to ten years or even longer to see results, and only true love can sustain it.
In this regard, she particularly admired Mr. Chu's patience.
When the two girls heard that they could join Xingyao training, their eyes lit up with excitement.
That's the annual trainee recruitment, and only with a one in a thousand chance of being accepted can you sign a contract and take classes.
Anyone who has a little knowledge of the entertainment industry knows about Xingyao’s trainee training system.
I followed him happily.
Ye Mengyu still has to hold a meeting to discuss the ideas for the next episode.
"Xiaoyu, what are your ideas? Let's focus on your creativity and add some more..."
Senior Zhu’s status has been upgraded, and he no longer calls her junior sister, but calls her Xiaoyu instead.
Ever since he listened to Ye Mengyu and Jiang Fanyu's "corner" up close, he has become more and more relaxed, not worrying about his personal safety at all, and showing a closeness like childhood sweethearts.
"I've been thinking about this for a long time on the way. I've come up with an idea. Can you guys help me see if it works? It's mainly because of that saying: I searched for him among the crowds for a thousand times. Suddenly, I looked back and there he was, in the dimly lit place. There has to be searching, there have to be misses, and there have to be reunions. Looking back, I found that the person I've been looking for is right beside me.
The thought that flashed through my mind now is that the male protagonist gave up writing and took up wool to serve his country. His family, friends and girlfriend did not support him, but the female protagonist, as a pen pal or online friend, supported him.
Years later, the hero defends his country, earns military merit, and returns victorious. Looking for an old friend, he discovers the heroine is a military doctor or battlefield nurse who has been by his side for years...”
Ye Mengyu briefly talked about his thoughts.
"So, wouldn't it be difficult to make this story stand out in modern times? It's a peaceful time now, and there's no war to fight if you join the army. It's hard to develop a story about special forces soldiers and drug enforcement officers, and the conflicts are hard to fully portray in a micro-film."
"I agree. But if it's ancient times, relationships between men and women wouldn't be clear, pen pals weren't realistic, and women couldn't go to war. Rewriting Mulan isn't an option. Director Ai issued an ultimatum in the group chat: no rewriting of historical figures. If you do it again, you'll get zero points and the contract will be terminated."
"What about the Republic of China? The male protagonist changes from a student uniform to a military uniform, and the female protagonist changes from a student uniform or a young lady's cheongsam or skirt to a military uniform. The costumes are unique and the contrast is huge."
"It was a lot of work to film those war scenes."
"Yeah, small scenes don't work. Big scenes aren't worth it..."
After much discussion, everyone looked at Sister Luan.
"What are you looking at me for?"
"Of course, it depends on whether you have any connections that can get us another crew."
Sister Luan didn't refuse immediately. "I'll contact them. Even if there's a crew, they'll have to go to the film and television city. There haven't been any war dramas filmed around Beijing lately. Republican-era dramas are a cold genre now, and the craze for spy wars has passed. There are very few crews producing Republican-era dramas, unless they're mission-related dramas. I'll try to find a way."
"It's not a good idea to keep relying on freeloading like this. There are still four episodes left. Can I keep freeloading?"
One of the team members raised this question.
Ye Mengyu deeply agreed with this.
"Next time I go to the Film Academy for classes, I'll ask Teacher Gao to find two good students from the directing and editing departments to work part-time here. That way, at least we don't have to piggyback on the crew, the director, or the screenwriter.
If there really isn't a crew, we can find someone to set up the scene ourselves and shoot it."
It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others.
It’s not a good idea to always rely on others. What will you do if you can’t rely on them?
"We still need to finalize the story as soon as possible. We only have half a month. If we delay any longer, I won't have enough time to make the clothes."
Fang Zhixing reminded him that even if he was good at writing essays, he still had to spend a certain amount of time.
"That's it for today. Let's all think about it and see if there are any good ideas. We'll meet back at this time tomorrow afternoon to finalize the plan. Okay?"
The final plan will depend on which crew Sister Luan can contact.
Ye Mengyu made the decision and left work.
As soon as I left the meeting room, I saw Boss Jiang waiting in the reception room.
Everyone left in tacit understanding, leaving the space for the two of them.
"I heard you were looking for a crew? I just asked, and among Xingyao's projects, there's a Republican-era drama being filmed. There's also an Anti-Japanese War movie that's almost finished filming, and they're filming the final big war scenes these days. If you need me, I can come over anytime."
Wow.
Why does this person look like Doraemon?
Ye Mengyu looked at the big boss who had turned the sofa in the reception room into the Nine Dragon Throne in the Golden Palace, blinked, looked, and looked again.
"Have you planted any spies around me? If someone is too attentive without any reason, he's either a traitor or a thief. Tell me, what do you want from me?"
The offering was too diligent.
Ye Mengyu was thinking, is she worthy?
This is Jiang Fanyu!
"What spy? Sister Luan called someone to ask about the crew, and happened to ask about the company's team. Do I know it's abnormal? What's wrong with me, don't you know? I've told you a hundred times, when are you moving back home?"
Huh? This again?
"Mr. Jiang is a little anxious to live with me."
"Yeah, very anxious, I'm greedy for your waist..."
[Hehe, what a coincidence, I'm also greedy for your body. ]
Qiao Ran’s AI picture, haha.
