Qin Man went to meet Wan Qian in the afternoon, and the two discussed in detail the establishment and planning of the future studio.
Wan Qian said that Qin Man no longer had to pay back the 30,000 yuan she originally owed her, and she would add another 70,000 yuan to buy shares. Because the resources were provided by Qin Man and she invested more funds than Wan Qian, Wan Qian only held 35% of the shares, and Qin Man held the majority of 65%.
Qin Xiao is already helping her contact a designer. Her studio will be set up in the city in the future. She also has to rent a studio in an office building and choose a site to build a factory.
The two decided to split up, Qin Man was responsible for finding a studio, and Wan Qian was responsible for finding a factory, because they had a factory at home, and if she went, Mr. Gu would be there to give her some reference.
Qin Man plans to invest 300,000 yuan upfront. If that's not enough, she'll talk about it later.
The studio does not need to be too big, it just needs to be able to accommodate a few dozen people. The team can expand slowly in the future, and once it gets on the right track, it will continue to recruit more people to build a larger team.
But the factory must be big enough. If they want to be a big brand, they must use the best machines, equipment and raw materials, and give priority to recruiting experienced workers.
The factory exists to prepare for the online store and to provide supply to all major storefronts. In the future, her branches will be opened all over the country and even abroad, so the factory must accommodate at least several hundred people.
There is also haute couture clothing. Scarcity makes things valuable. Design exquisite dresses, find models to hold a show, then ask reporters to record the show and find a TV station to go directly on TV.
The next day, Jiang Lian contacted Director Xu and went for an audition. The filming location of this movie is in the city, so Director Xu will stay in the city from the casting to the completion and release of this movie!
Qin Man accompanied Jiang Lian and arranged an interview at 2pm, and asked the family driver to take them to the office.
After arriving at the destination, Qin Man asked Xiao Li to wait until after three o'clock. If they had not finished their work, she would go to pick up Xiao Li and Xiao Yu from school first, and then come back to pick them up.
Director Xu's office was on the eighth floor. Jiang Lian took the name card and verified the reservation information with the front desk staff before they let her go up.
I took the elevator to the eighth floor. When I got out of the elevator, I saw many young ladies dressed up in fancy clothes in the corridor. Each one of them was very beautiful.
I guess they are all here for audition. Some are even using mirrors to touch up their makeup and comb their hair.
Jiang Lian didn't dress up deliberately, just an ordinary white dress, without any makeup on her face. She had a good foundation, and even without makeup, she was very beautiful. The Jiang family's looks are unquestionable.
However, some women seemed to particularly look down on Qin Man and Jiang Lian, mainly because the moment they came in, they created a sense of crisis for everyone.
"You dare to come for the audition without makeup, you are quite confident!"
Qin Man was not someone to be trifled with. She would not tolerate such a person and immediately shrugged back:
"Only people who are not confident in themselves wear makeup!"
The man was speechless and just looked angry. When the others heard Qin Man say this, they snorted in disdain.
Even though she offended so many people with just one sentence, she was well prepared and they were determined to win the title of heroine.
The two found a place to sit down, and Jiang Lian leaned over to her ear and asked:
"Sister-in-law, are you sure you can come here like this?"
"Of course, the female artists that Director Xu promotes are all pure and innocent. If you dress up, you won't meet his requirements!"
Qin Man also heard it from Qin Xiao, otherwise she wouldn't know these inside stories.
"Oh well!"
Jiang Lian believed in her second sister-in-law's words. If she said she could do it, she would definitely do it. Even if she couldn't get the leading female role, she could get other roles! ..
People who auditioned went in one after another, but they all came out very quickly, crying. I heard that Director Xu was famous for his sharp tongue. On the set, no matter how famous you were, he would still scold you!
Jiang Lian had been waiting in line for more than half an hour. Suddenly, a group of people came out of the elevator. A woman wearing sunglasses, fashionable clothes and with big wavy hair came in.
Someone at the scene recognized her at a glance. This was Chen Weiwei, who has become very popular in the past two years. They didn't expect that she would also come for an audition.
She took off her sunglasses and looked around at everyone present. She seemed to not take anyone seriously. She felt that she was bound to get this role.
Another auditioner came out, and it seemed like he was also rejected. Someone at the door called out "Jiang Lian".
When Jiang Lian heard someone calling her, she immediately stood up confidently. She was not nervous at all.
As a result, Chen Weiwei walked past her, entered the office first, and closed the door. Jiang Lian was not in the team and was turned away.
Qin Man was speechless. How could someone be so low-class? He acted like a big shot just because he was a little famous.
But never mind, less trouble is worse than more!
After a while, a quarrel broke out inside:
"Ms. Chen Weiwei, please get out. My script doesn't require you to act so arrogantly!"
"Director Xu, how do you know I can't do it without even trying?" Chen retorted.
"Just because you are so rude, I can refuse to sign you. Please go back. If you really want to act, I think the role of the third female lead is very suitable for you. What do you think?" Director Xu is indeed a sharp-tongued person, and he made Chen Weiwei very angry.
How could Chen Weiwei possibly play a supporting role? She just turned around and left.
Finally it was Jiang Lian's turn. As soon as Jiang Lian came in, Director Xu recognized her. Her appearance made his eyes light up.
Jiang Lian sat in the chair in the middle, not looking nervous at all.
Director Xu looked at her with a smile, and the several staff members assisting nearby finally saw Director Xu smile for the first time that day. They knew that this young lady had a chance.
"Ms. Jiang, I know you and I am very impressed by you!" Because Jiang Lian was the olive branch he took the initiative to extend to her.
"Then I'm very honored to be remembered by you, Director Xu!" Jiang Lian answered with high emotional intelligence.
"Aren't you nervous?" Director Xu asked her with a smile.
Jiang Lian sat very straight, smiling, and in a very good manner. She shook her head slightly and said:
"Don't be nervous. Now that you are here, you must perform well!"
Director Xu nodded in satisfaction, gave her a line, and asked her to perform it on the spot, requiring her to get her facial expressions and movements right.
Jiang Lian might be born with a talent for acting, and coupled with her calmness, even if there were a few imperfections in the details, Director Xu still decided to cast her.
"Ms. Jiang, congratulations, this role belongs to you!"
Jiang Lian smiled happily upon hearing this, and stood up and bowed to Director Xu:
"Thank you Director Xu for giving me the opportunity. I will definitely do my best!"
Qin Man was waiting anxiously outside. Jiang Lian finally came out. As soon as she came out, Qin Man asked her anxiously:
"How's it going? Is it over?"
Jiang Lian nodded vigorously, then hugged Qin Man:
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I got it!"
Qin Man instantly cheered and jumped for joy, while Jiang Lian burst into tears of joy!
"Three days later, Director Xu asked me to come back again. He said that before the official filming, he would arrange a two-month etiquette and oral training for me!"
"Of course, of course. After all, you are the newcomer. Let's go home and celebrate!"
The aunt and sister-in-law left the office building. Xiao Li's car was parked across the street. Jiang Lian saw a shop selling cream cakes next door, so she said she would buy some to bring to her nephews and nieces.
Qin Man crossed the road first to get in the car, and the two separated when Qin Man was about to reach the middle of the road.
A black car suddenly drove over quickly. Before she could react, she only saw the driver in the driver's seat. The next second, she was hit and fell directly to the ground, unconscious...
