Ask for a commuter pass! ~

After returning to Chenxi Film and Television Company, Ling Chen, Zhang Qiang, Wu Xuehu, Zhou Ruotong, Wu Ji, and Zeng Xian all came to Zhang Qiang's office.

"I called you all over this time because I have something to announce to you, that is, from next year, the company is ready to officially start filming the first movie, the script has been bought, and the female number one is Zhou Ruotong. The director and assistant director depend on the skills and talents of Wu Ji and Zeng Xian, if you can prove yourself to me, then I will take a gamble and personally appoint the two of you as the directors of this film. If you can't prove it, then I'll have to ask other big directors to shoot it. Ling Chen said lightly.

"My budget for this investment is about 10 million, which should be a top investment in China, right? Whether you can seize the opportunity this time is up to you. ”

"Mr. Ling, please rest assured, I will not let you down!" Wu Ji and Zeng Xian assured solemnly that at this time, Ling Chen could clearly see the flame of desire between the two of them.

Ling Chen smiled, "It's good to have faith, you still have a few months to prove yourself." As long as you have the ability, I will definitely not treat you badly. Ling Chen said, handing them the contract drawn up by the company's legal department.

Wu Ji and Zeng Xian opened it and took a look, and after reading it, they couldn't bear the excitement anymore, and even Wu Ji actually shed tears.

"Mr. Ling, thank you for giving me such a good opportunity, I will not let you down!" Wu Ji walked up to Ling Chen and bowed deeply to Ling Chen.

Ling Chen patted Wu Ji's shoulder, "The opportunity is in front of you. I hope you'll get hold of this contract. As long as you prove yourself, when the shooting begins. I'll sign you personally. Now I announce that the two of you have officially become the company's full-time directors, and the current salary has doubled, if you have difficulties, you can tell Mr. Zhang first, I think Mr. Zhang will help you as soon as possible. ”

"Mr. Ling has spoken, so don't worry, just ask me if you have any difficulties." Zhang Qiang said with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!" Wu Ji bowed to Ling Chen and Zhang Qiang again.

"Okay, now let's test your first step, a good director. is a good screenwriter, now our company is going to shoot "Those Years, The Girl We Chased Together" as a movie, you two based on the novel, and then write the script for me, after writing it, hand it over to Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Zhang will personally hand it over to me, and then I will announce whether you will become the director of this movie. Ling Chen said. asked Zhang Qiang to take out a few novels and handed them to Wu Ji, Zeng Xian and Zhou Ruotong respectively.

Wu Xuehu had already bought all the film and television copyrights of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" a few days ago, and Ling Chen had already talked to him. Now, Wu Xuehu is already looking for actors to shoot.

"Yes!" Wu Ji and Zeng Xian bowed excitedly to everyone again.

Ling Chen saw that Wu Ji was a little speechless, so he said to him encouragingly, "What's the difficulty?" Tell us about it, if you can. We will definitely help you solve it in time. ”

"Ling, Mr. Ling. Can I advance $100,000 to the company first? Wu Ji said cautiously, for fear that Ling Chen would refuse.

Everyone present looked at Wu Ji in surprise, you know, the current 100,000 yuan is extremely valuable, Wu Ji, a new tender who has just been appreciated by Ling Chen, actually dares to make such a request, isn't he afraid of affecting the impression in Ling Chen's heart?

Ling Chen looked at Wu Ji's eyes, his dark eyes were very clear and firm, and there was even a trace of desperate pleading. Ling Chen nodded, "Okay, you can go to the finance department to get the money later." ”

Ling Chen's words made everyone in the office stunned again, but it was Zhou Ruotong who looked at Ling Chen's eyes with great gratitude and happiness.

Wu Ji received Ling Chen's affirmative reply, knelt down in front of Ling Chen, kowtowed, and was pulled up by Ling Chen.

"Thank you, Mr. Ling!" At this time, Wu Ji was already in tears.

Wu Ji is now 28 years old, he graduated from the film class of China Overseas Film and Television Academy, at that time, he was full of talent and sharpness, but the reality is cruel. Although he is talented, he has no experience, no connections, and some arrogance, and he bumps and bumps in society along the way, so he doesn't get any opportunities to exercise at all, let alone shoot commercials and movies, and only earn some living expenses by taking photos or photo albums for others.

Fortunately, he has a talented and good-looking wife who has always supported him, and often even uses her meager salary to support the living expenses of the two of them. In order to be with him, his wife completely cut off the relationship with the family, and the two of them stumbled in Zhonghai for 5 years, and have been living a very miserable life, and sometimes they can't even afford to eat. It was at this time that Wu Xuehu found him through a friend, and he took his frail wife to Xiangyang City to serve as the assistant director of Chenxi Film and Television Company.

That night, he used the only remaining 20 yuan to celebrate with his wife, but later his wife fell ill in bed and was sent to the hospital for examination only to find out that his beloved wife actually had stomach cancer, but fortunately it was the early stage.

Cancer is a god of death, and in order to fight against death, a lot of money is inevitably needed, but as a farmer's child, where did Wu Ji's family get so much money to treat it? Therefore, Wu Ji worked hard to make money and make extra money. Even, Wu Ji once had the idea of robbery, but fortunately, his wife kept comforting him loudly, and he dispelled this negative thought.

And today, he successfully won Ling Chen's appreciation, and advanced 100,000 yuan in salary from Ling Chen, which means that he doesn't have to use the idea of robbery, and his beloved wife can be treated. Now that my beloved wife is in the early stage of cancer, with 100,000 yuan, she will definitely be cured.

Although 100,000 yuan may not be cured, but now he has a big opportunity in front of him, as long as he succeeds in becoming the director of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", will there be less money at that time? Therefore, Wu Ji, who has a glimmer of hope, is extremely grateful and prays in his heart, and has made up his mind in his heart that he must make a good script of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", must satisfy Ling Chen, and must get the director's place, this time, Wu Ji has already bet on it with all his might.

"How's that, are you still used to it? But what's wrong with it? Ling Chen gently asked Zhou Ruotong next to him.

"Fortunately, now I live a very fulfilling life every day, and whenever I have time, I will go to learn vocal music knowledge and acting skills from Mr. Yu Yu." Zhou Ruotong chatted with Ling Chen, and his performance was still a little restrained.

"It's good to be full." Ling Chen nodded, "By the way, I have booked you for the heroine of this movie "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", this time you must perform well, don't let me down." ”

Zhou Ruotong clenched his fists and said to Ling Chen with a firm expression: "Mr. Ling, don't worry, I will not let you down!" ”

After Zhou Ruotong also went out, Wu Xuehu suggested to Ling Chen: "Mr. Ling, the male artist who filmed the advertisement just now, should we sign a new contract for him?" ”

"You look at it." Ling Chen replied lightly. Ling Chen had set a rule before, that is, the formal contract, the benefits enjoyed are different, and there is even a performance bonus at the end of the year. Therefore, many artists in the company are eager to sign such a contract with the company.

Wu Xuehu nodded, and then continued: "Mr. Ling, you asked Ma Yu to clean the toilet before, but now he has settled down to clean for nearly a month, do you see if it's okay, after all, he is still a little famous and talented." ”

"Sweep for another three months." Ling Chen said lightly, and Wu Xuehu stopped talking.

Ma Yu has been reduced from a glamorous star to an employee who cleans the toilet, the gap is incomparably huge, and he Ma Yu has also been ridiculed by the entire company, for this, he has never been able to raise his head, the original arrogance has long disappeared, and some are just endless regrets.

He actually thought about changing jobs, but no film and television company risked offending Ling Chen and Tang Zhiqiang to ransom him, and besides, he was not very famous, how could those companies turn their faces against Ling Chen for a little star? Therefore, I had to continue to stay in Chenxi Film and Television Company.

It's not that he didn't think about raising money to redeem himself, but the money he has earned in the past few years has been almost spent, and the conditions at home are not very small. It was only at this moment that he resented himself very much, why did he make money at the beginning, he didn't know how hard to honor his parents, and now that he was down, he remembered his parents who loved him.

Whenever he talked to his loving parents on the phone, Ma Yu was extremely remorseful, why did he have to be so disregarding his life and not taking anyone in his eyes, not even the company's leaders, not even the least respect. Therefore, he kept praying in his heart that if there was a chance to do it again, he would definitely learn how to be a man again!

Now he just hoped that one day Ling Chen would be able to show kindness and spare him, an arrogant male dog.

"By the way, Mr. Wu, you asked Ruotong to study acting during this time, and now it is officially decided to let her play the heroine of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", the acting skills must be in place, if there are any difficulties, you tell me, I will definitely try my best to arrange it for you."

Although Zhou Ruotong has very good qualifications, he is not a professional actor after all, and Teacher Yu Yu is not a professional acting teacher, so only by letting Zhou Ruotong learn from a teacher with superb acting theory can she be qualified to be the heroine of "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years".

For the movie "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", Ling Chen had great hopes in his heart, remembering his previous life, this movie won many awards and swept the major box offices. The male and female protagonists and directors have successfully become first-class stars and directors in China.

"By the way, Mr. Ling, are you sure about the actor of this movie?" Wu Xuehu asked.

"No, I'm still thinking about it," Ling Chen said, at this time Ling Chen's mobile phone rang, Ling Chen picked it up and looked at it, and couldn't help but light up his eyes. (To be continued......)
