Chapter 144 Little Kid, Sit Still and Don't Move [1st Update]
The agent's hands were shaking.
He could even imagine the sensation this movie would cause once it was released.
This will affect not only China, but the entire world, and could even drive the development of a series of industries.
The fame they gained was also boundless.
Even the most famous socialites in the capital city would never refuse such an offer.
Perhaps Chuguang Media alone is not enough to attract the attention of big corporations, but Universal Pictures is a different story.
This is world-class.
Those who are invited by Universal Pictures to make movies are all top-tier actors from around the world.
In the past fifty years, no one in China has been able to achieve this honor.
Behind Universal Pictures is the support of a powerful O-type conglomerate.
Fortunately, one of the personas that Ying Luwei is marketing is that of the next Vera Hall.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have had the chance to get such a good opportunity.
"What?!" The agent, who had been smiling, suddenly changed her expression. "Why? Didn't we agree last week? Even though the contract wasn't signed, but—"
Before he could finish speaking, the phone went dead.
Show no mercy.
He showed no leniency whatsoever just because he was Ying Luwei's agent.
As the number one entertainment company in China, Chuguang Media is naturally not someone that can be treated differently by the big families in Shanghai.
Seeing his expression, Ying Luwei knew something was wrong.
She frowned, somewhat displeased: "What's going on?"
The agent stared at her phone for a long while before finally snapping out of her daze: "Chuguang Media said that although they wanted you, Luwei, to audition last week, they just changed owners these past few days and are busy with the handover process."
"As soon as the new CEO took over, he took away the work on this movie. He wouldn't allow anyone else to be cast in the role of Vera Hall."
There was one more thing the agent didn't dare say.
The exact words from Chuguang Media were as follows:
When Vera Hall appeared in public, she was always wearing a mask, which could have been created by AI without needing a real person.
They could even just grab anyone from the music academy to perform, instead of using Ying Luwei.
Simply put, Ying Luwei is not worthy.
"What? Why won't they let us film?" Ying Luwei laughed angrily. "Does this new CEO think he's Vera Hall? That he can influence Universal Pictures' decisions?"
"Although this film is a co-production between Chuguang Media and Universal Pictures, with Universal Pictures taking the lead," the agent sighed, "the role of Vera Hall is the only one that was entirely entrusted to Chuguang Media."
"Why?" Ying Luwei was both angry and confused. "Wasn't Vera Hall from O continent?"
“No, Luvia, I just found out about this too.” The agent lowered her voice. “According to sources within Chuguang Media, Huanying told them that Vera Hall is Chinese.”
"In order to closely match the historical figures, the actors must also be Chinese."
"A Chinese person?" Ying Luwei exclaimed in astonishment. "How is that possible?"
If Vera Hall were Chinese, would she not be written into the music history of Olympia?
“How could we possibly know?” The agent shook his head. “Do you know about the O continental conglomerate behind Universal Pictures? It’s said to be a very old family that has sponsored many literary and artistic giants.”
"Who knows, their ancestors might have been good friends with Vera Hall."
"Ignorant fools!" Ying Luwei sneered. "If they hadn't invited me, I'd like to see how they would have been able to finish making this movie."
“Luwei, don’t act impulsively. This role is really good for you.” The agent thought for a moment. “Chuguang Media said that their new CEO is here in the Shanghai branch.”
"Let's go see them and plead with them; maybe we can still salvage the situation."
**
Chuguang Media, Shanghai Branch.
After finishing the call, the female secretary cautiously asked again, "CEO, are we really going to use AI to synthesize it?"
“Computer technology is very advanced.” Ying Zijing looked up and examined her for a moment. “You’re tall enough. I think you could act even with a mask on.”
The flattered secretary: "..."
Although she was happy to be praised, she felt she neither deserved nor could she accept it.
"CEO, actually I don't think there are many suitable candidates for the role of Vera Goddess." The female secretary secretly glanced at the girl, then quickly looked away and composed herself. "Miss Ying Luwei is also the number one socialite in Shanghai and plays the piano, so she is really more suitable."
She wasn't from Shanghai; she was transferred from Beijing because Chuguang Media changed its CEO.
Before this, the female secretary learned about Ying Luwei and found that this top socialite in Shanghai was really quite suitable for the role of Vera Hall.
She plays the piano and comes from aristocratic background.
Ying Zijing was looking through photos of actresses under Chuguang Media when she heard this, and she didn't even look up: "She has body odor."
The female secretary was stunned: "???"
“So—” Ying Zijin selected a few photos of actresses she thought were pretty good, pushed them over, and said calmly, “These few, let them audition.”
The female secretary took a look and exclaimed, "CEO, you have such good taste! You've picked all the company's top talents."
The CEO is very young, but he is decisive in his methods.
He's only been at the company for one day, but he's already sorted out all the information.
There's really no need for Ying Luwei to play the role anymore. Anyway, when acting, once the mask is on, no one knows who it is.
Moreover, among these actresses is an international film queen, whose appeal is much greater than that of Ying Luwei.
Ying Zijing put away the documents and stood up: "If there's anything else, just ask the general manager."
She realized that she simply couldn't be bothered with the company.
Watching dramas every day is more pleasing to the eye and good for one's health.
The female secretary hurriedly followed behind the girl and saw her out.
**
Only a few people within Chuguang Media knew that the company had appointed a new CEO.
After all, even before the change, they didn't know who the CEO was.
It makes no difference whether it's been changed or not.
Indeed, quite a few employees noticed the girl, but they all assumed she was a newly signed actress by Chuguang Media.
I was simply amazed by her looks, but we quickly went back to our own busy lives.
Chuguang Media was able to become the number one entertainment company in China because its employees were all dedicated to their duties and did not engage in personal matters during work hours.
Every department, from top to bottom, is very clean and honest, and the company will give the artists the greatest benefits.
Even if award-winning actresses and actors leave to start their own studios, they won't turn around and criticize Chuguang Media; instead, they'll recommend their juniors.
However, in recent years, Chuguang Media has been impacted by many smaller companies.
Among them are Xingchen Entertainment, the company owned by Shang Yaozhi, and Tianxing Media, owned by the Jiang Group.
But no matter which company it is, even if it does something dirty behind the scenes, it still cannot shake Chuguang Media's position as the leading company in the entertainment industry.
Because Chuguang Media has strong backing, the actors are not forced to attend drinking parties.
However, Chuguang Media has very high standards; people without acting skills and talent cannot get in.
Of the 100-person talent show "Youth 101" that went viral online at the beginning of the year, only Chuguang Media did not send any trainees.
Fu Yunshen sat in the Maserati waiting for her, and lazily asked her, "Little girl, how does it feel to be in your new position?"
Ying Zijing leaned against the car window, gazed at the scenery along the road for two seconds, and then said, "Being a student is still the easiest."
However, she also learned that Universal Pictures was planning to film a history of music in Europe.
When the name Vera Hall was mentioned again, Ying Zijing was reminded of some things from the past.
All the musicians she had consulted in the past had received funding and support from the Laurent family.
Even someone who is obsessed with money and only cares about it knows her true identity.
Three hundred years ago, the Laurent family was the king of Florence, possessing immense wealth, with gold as common as sand.
The outside world only knows that Universal Pictures is backed by a large conglomerate in Africa, but it is unknown which one it is, and there is much speculation.
During this collaboration between Chuguang Media and Universal Pictures, she also learned that the Laurent family was behind Universal Pictures.
Ying Zijin seemed to be deep in thought.
Could it be that she's been discovered to have done something? Otherwise, why would she suddenly make a movie like this?
However, even if her divine calculation abilities haven't recovered, you still can't find her if you want to.
She can still enjoy her retirement in peace.
"Yes, of course, you're not an adult yet." Fu Yunshen tapped his fingers lightly on the steering wheel, pondering, "I'll find someone to manage it for you. You just sit there watching your favorite celebrities and collecting money."
He planned to take the child home and then visit Grandpa Fu.
Even after the toxins were completely removed, there were still some aftereffects, but Mr. Fu's health was completely fine.
Because of the return of vitality, his completely white hair has turned quite a bit black.
He truly had no way to repay such a great debt of gratitude.
An entertainment company can't compare to life itself.
The car started and sped away, leaving everyone in its dust.
Ying Zijing was about to rest and recharge when she suddenly looked up.
At the same moment, the Maserati suddenly braked and made a 360-degree turn.
It emitted a piercing, sharp sound.
The sudden turn startled other drivers in the surrounding area.
Fu Yunshen's peach blossom eyes narrowed, his smile vanished, leaving only an icy chill.
"Yaoyao, sit still and don't move."
