Out of the law firm, Chen Qi casually picked a direction and walked aimlessly.

He didn't have any special purpose, he just wandered around.

Get to know the city in detail, get a feel for the atmosphere, and try to immerse yourself in it.

Commercial plazas, pedestrian streets, large and small attractions......

He doesn't pick either, he doesn't care wherever he goes.

If he encounters someone or something of interest on the way, he will also stop and observe.

If this person or thing is very much in line with his aesthetics, he will also find an opportunity to come up and talk to someone.

Again, there is no purpose, just nonsense.

For the next few days, Chen Qi, who had nothing to do, walked around the city like a tourist.

He went from east to west, and from south to north.

It took him five or six days to go through the entire capital.

After five or six days, he finally got a general idea of the city.

But it's a pity that after shopping around in the past few days, although he has paid special attention, he has not met anyone or anything worthy of his investment.

A little bit of a pity.

Who can understand this feeling of having money and nowhere to spend?

Well, he believes that ordinary people can't understand it!

After five or six days of wandering, Chen Qi finally regained his mind and began to prepare for his new plan.

This morning, at ten o'clock, Chen got up and went to an elegant café.

He made an appointment.

A broker with a small reputation in the industry.

The agent's style of acting is very much in line with his aesthetic, so he wanted to talk to him.

To be precise, it should be that he wants to dig into other people's corners again.

Since he has the idea of developing into the film and television industry, he has to make some plans in advance.

Whether it's a movie or a TV series, he needs actors.

Although it is not yet certain which classics on the earth will be remade, and although it is not yet certain which actors will be used, it is certain that he will definitely use the resources of the earth to cultivate a group of new talents.

There is no doubt about it.

And he will also sign these people into his studio.

This is one of the surest ways to ensure that your future work is not disturbed.

He doesn't want to have to cooperate with other people's schedules in order to make a movie or TV series in the future.

Especially works with sequels.

The painful lesson that many classics were destroyed beyond recognition by the sequel is still fresh in his memory.

The sequel spell isn't just for fun.

In his understanding, the reason why these sequels were destroyed, aside from the screenwriter and director, he felt that one of the main reasons was that they were not filmed by the original team.

The sequel that is not the original cast has ruined half of the audience's emotions about this show!

And the reasons why you don't go back to the original team are nothing more than two.

One is that the money is not enough.

The other is that it is almost impossible for the original team to be transferred to the same schedule again.

Now, he wants to put an end to this kind of thing in the first place.

If he wants to remake a work with a sequel in the future, he must learn from American dramas and use the original cast 100%.

In terms of using the original cast of the sequel, what he admires most is the American drama.

I heard that the signing of actors in American dramas is several seasons!

The drama spanning seven or eight years or even more than ten years has not changed the leading role!

In some dramas, the leading actors, teenagers, young people, middle-aged and elderly people, even play the same person!

It's terrifying!

This is not to say that he admires foreign flattery, in terms of film and television drama production, people are indeed much more attentive than us.

Of course, in addition to these factors, another reason why Chen Qi wanted to sign these newcomers into his studio was also to put an end to some other messy things.

For example, what is playing a big name, a famous actor is filming five, six, seven, or eight plays at the same time, etc.

Taking these self-cultivated actors into his own hands can be said to be beneficial and harmless to him!

Anyway, he is not without money, even if he signs a class of actors, he has no pressure.

Thinking of these things in his mind, Chen Qi's eyes kept looking in the direction of the door.

may be because he produced two popular programs on Beijing Satellite TV, although the agent who made an appointment today was full of surprise after receiving his call, he still agreed to meet after hesitating for a while.

At this time of the year, well-known agents like them are very busy. The other party can agree to meet him, which is indeed very face-saving.

After all, his current reputation in the entertainment industry is actually average......

After waiting for another ten minutes, the target finally appeared.

This is a middle-aged woman who looks less than forty.

is not tall, but judging from the way he dresses, the whole person's temperament still looks amazing.

Probably because she was very busy during this time, there was obviously a trace of tiredness in her expression.

"Director Chen!" After seeing Chen Qi, the woman greeted him politely.

Chen Qi, who was originally sitting, also got up to say hello to her, and then pointed to the opposite side and motioned for her to take a seat.

The middle-aged woman was not polite, she directly pulled out a chair and sat down, then looked at Chen Qi and asked, "Director Chen, do you have any opportunities to cooperate between us when you look for me?"

She got straight to the point, and even the most basic politeness was omitted.

She was indeed quite curious about Chen Qi's call.

Because of Chen Qi's popular "Singer" and "Masked Singer" during this time, she has also heard of Chen Qi.

But what really made her face him up to him was the rumors that he dared to go head-to-head with those giants.

Yesterday, after receiving Chen Qi's call, she also learned about his information in detail, and then unexpectedly learned that he had successfully broken through under the encirclement and suppression of those giants!

Not only did he break through, but he also seemed to have embarrassed the giants and had no place to be angry!

After hearing about these gossip, she was really a little impressed by him.

But it's a pity that she asked Chen Qi more than once on the phone yesterday about the purpose of looking for her, but Chen Qi didn't say it, just said to meet and talk.

So, she took the time to come over.

From the information she heard, she could tell that this young man was indeed capable of something. If there was a real opportunity to cooperate, she couldn't ask for it.

It is amazing to be able to make some actors appear on the stage of a music program openly!

Seeing that the other party went straight to the point, Chen Qi couldn't help but smile.

Knowing that she was very busy, he didn't waste much of her time, and simply told her what he thought.

“...... All in all, I'm here to find some new actors or potential actors, and I want to ask if you are interested in coming to my side to help me manage this aspect of affairs. ”

"Forehead ......" After hearing Chen Qi's words, the middle-aged woman was directly stupid.

She looked at Chen Qi with some astonishment, and there was a trace of confusion and disbelief in her eyes.

She was stunned!

After making trouble for so long, he ...... He's actually here to dig into the corner?

He wants her to help him manage the so-called rookie actors?

Isn't it about cooperation?

The middle-aged woman was stunned!

Was it caught off guard?

To be honest, Chen Qi's purpose was something she never expected.

What a surprise!

"I'm serious. Seeing that the other party was a little dumbfounded, Chen Qi added a sentence later.

“......”

The middle-aged woman chuckled, then shook her head slowly.

"I'm sorry, Director Chen, I have no plans to change jobs at the moment. ”

To help Chen Qi manage?

Not interested!

Not at all interested!

She is doing a good job in their big company, and she will run to Chen Qi's small studio if she has a hole in her brain!

Besides, is it true that the newcomer digs when he says he digs?

How can he find a potential actor when he says he can find it?

How can he think so easily in the film and television industry?

Even if he is really lucky enough to find some potential actors, it is not easy for him to gain a foothold in the film and television industry.

The water variety shows in the film and television industry are dozens of times deeper!

Besides, if you don't do a good variety show, what are you doing in the film and television industry?

Not interested!

Not the slightest interest!

At this moment, she was a little disappointed in her heart.

If she had known that Chen Qi was looking for her because of such a thing, she would not have come.

She's busy right now!

"......" was rejected by the other party, and Chen Qi was also speechless.

Although he is mentally prepared, is he too anxious to refuse?

He hasn't even said anything about the treatment!

"I'm sorry, Director Chen, I'm a little busy here, so I'll leave first. ”

Seeing that Chen Qi was not talking about cooperation, the middle-aged woman didn't want to waste any more time, so she got up and said goodbye directly.

"If you have any good projects that you can cooperate with in the future, please feel free to contact me and see you soon. ”

After dropping such a sentence to Chen Qi, the middle-aged woman left in a hurry, without even waiting for Chen Qi's response.

Chen Qi: "......"

Not......

It's a little embarrassing.

Ending up in such a way was something he never expected.

Obviously, the other party really didn't have the slightest interest in him, otherwise he wouldn't have just quit without even listening to the treatment and the like.

But it doesn't matter, he has other candidates.

After being silent for a while, Chen Qi took out the phone and dialed the next number.

probably also knew that these agents' time was precious now, and he didn't waste each other's time to meet again.

He expressed his willingness to invite them to Chen Qi's studio on the phone.

Not only that, but he was also very shameless and brought out the treatment after he opened his mouth.

Add at least 20% to their current base!

But......

What he got was still rejection.

"Uh...... I'm sorry, Director Chen, I have no plans to change jobs at the moment. ”

"Thank you for your appreciation, and I will contact you if I am interested in the future. ”

"Sorry, not interested!"

The polite one is politely refused, the more direct one is a refusal, and then the phone is hung up directly.

After making all five or six phone calls, Chen Qi fell silent.

Well, this result was something he didn't expect.

Six people were carefully selected, and all of them were rejected?

Didn't even impress them that the treatment could be talked about again?

Who said that there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved by adding money?

Obviously, these agents really don't like his small studio.

They don't think that his small studio can make any big waves in the film and television industry.

Forget it, refuse it.

Chen Qi shook his head a little helplessly, and completely broke off the idea of digging into the corner of the wall again.

It's not easy to dig in this corner!

Don't worry about it for now, let's talk about it if you really find someone later, if you can't do it, you can manage it yourself.

Chen Qi drank the coffee in his hand unhurriedly, and then got up to leave.

Although he was rejected by five or six people at the same time, his mood was not affected too much.

There's nothing to be ashamed of digging into the corners of the wall and not being able to dig up.

Not to mention his current small studio, even if it is a unicorn company, it is common for a unicorn company to hit a wall.

Normal!

Out of the café, Chen Qi randomly chose another direction and walked slowly.

All that catches your eye is a festive picture.

The ears reverberated with festive songs.

Many pedestrians were in a hurry, but their faces were full of happy smiles.

The Chinese New Year is getting closer and closer.

The smell of the New Year on the street is getting stronger and stronger.

These days, Chen Qi has also received greeting calls from many people.

Xu Bunian, Zhou Xiao, Li Hongti, Zhao Qingqing, Tang Yan......

They don't have anything to do, it's just to say goodbye to the early years, to ask where they are spending the New Year, and so on.

Where to celebrate the New Year?

Chen Qi didn't tell the truth to the people, just said that he was not sure or something and then diverted the topic.

Of course, he didn't forget to greet them.

The crew of "Nobody" has been on vacation, and Zhou Xiao and Xu Bunian have both returned to their hometowns.

Li Hongti is busy with the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.

Because of the explosion of "Singer", this year's CCTV Spring Festival Gala sent her an invitation very early.

is also because of the explosion of "Singer", her performance in the Spring Festival Gala this year is also the most anticipated program by the audience.

It is worth mentioning that I don't know if it's because the music world really can't find influential singers, the top three of this year's "Singer" were all invited to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

If "The Masked Singer" hadn't been broadcast too late to catch up with the regular train of the Spring Festival Gala, there should have been one or two shortlisted candidates.

At the very least, the most popular overall champion should be invited.

For these, Chen Qi naturally doesn't care.

But the top three in "Singer" were all invited by CCTV to participate in the Spring Festival Gala, and he also had a little sense of accomplishment in his heart.

It's a little bit of pride!

But......

Chen Qi looked down at the time on his phone.

There is just one week left until the Chinese New Year.

It's also time to get out and hide.

It's the first time since he grew up to celebrate the New Year alone, and this kind of reunion atmosphere that pervades everywhere really makes him a little sad.

Anyway, there's nothing going on right now, so let's go.

The destination he also determined.

Hollywood!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he first went there to experience the world's cinema center.

After making up his mind, Chen Qi stopped wandering around and took a taxi back to the rental house.

Pack your things and prepare your luggage.

Chen Qi is ready to go on a trip.

That same night, he quietly embarked on a flight abroad alone.
