Chapter 40
TN: Sorry it’s been a while since the last update, but hopefully I’ll be releasing more since this week is the 1 year celebration of this site’s first release!!!
The achievements of “Monologue” made the navy who had jumped up and down speechless, and also set off a round of earthquakes in the film and television circle.
In the past, with the single work “Ghost”, it can be said to be a dog’s luck. But now, people in the circle have to admit that director Yan was indeed an excellent director, and he was worthy of the evaluation of “genius”.
Therefore, when the news of the new film was released by Shengshi, many actors immediately planned to take part. But after hearing about the new film’s genre, they hesitated again.
——It is said to be a mythical epic, but it has nothing to do with the myths circulating in history. It is said to be a complete special effects blockbuster. Can a young director control such a blockbuster?
However, these people obviously think too much. Shengshi has no intention of holding a public audition.
Yuan Buwei has come to this world for a few months, but he has completely adapted to everything in this world.
He not only taught himself all kinds of knowledge belonging to scientific and technological civilization, but also quickly indulged in the entertainment of modern society. Novels, games, food, movies, TV dramas… As a man with countless tools, he has too much leisure to enjoy life.
In the process of chasing a drama, he had already selected a group of leading supporting roles that suited his vision. And directly asked secretary Jiang to send them an invitation letter for the audition.
Among them, the choice of male lead is very unusual.
This person’s name is Xie Ze. He once won the title of film emperor by virtue of his first work, and soared to the sky. However, he was immediately caught in the storm of public opinion after. It was revealed that he went to a drugs party, and his weibo was bombed for a month.
Although it was finally clarified that the drugs did not belong to him and he was only invited to the party by his friends that night. That night he left early because of poor drinking capacity, knowing nothing about anything from beginning to end… But at that time, no one cared about the truth.
In the eyes of the general public, he has been stained indelibly. Even if they know the truth, many people also think that “making friends with drug addicts is probably not a good thing, maybe he happened to be lucky not to be found out”. Even if some people feel guilty, Xie Ze has not worked for a long time and has not participated in commercial performances, so people gradually forget him.
It was precisely because Yuan Buwei saw the film that he won the prize for that year that he fell in love with this man’s acting skills.

Seeing the candidate that Yuan Buwei had given, Secretary Jiang was really troubled. He carefully mentioned the “brilliant past” of the other party to Yuan Buwei and added: “there were actually several entertainment companies involved in that issue, including star entertainment.”
“In those days, Xie Ze signed a contract with a small company. Unexpectedly, he became famous all at once. He was young, good-looking and had acting skills. He blocked the way of many young actors of the same type. Several big companies tried to win him over but he didn’t accept, so they simply destroyed him. It was a pity about this man, even the current film emperor only rose after he fell. After Xie Ze was destroyed, the small company did not create another such popular star and couldn’t last two years before collapsing… “
Yuan Buwei nodded his head and wondered, “so?”
Secretary Jiang felt depressed.
… So, there are so many people. Why do you want me to find such a person? What’s more, maybe he has already stopped working in the entertainment circle and was moving bricks?
The boss’s mouth has moved, can the employee not break his leg to get it done?
Looking at the computer screen with the drama still playing on the president’s desk, the candy and snacks piled next to him, and the steaming milk tea… Secretary Jiang’s resentment deepened.
——Curse him to drink milk tea without sugar! Or eat sweets and get cavities! At that time, this unscrupulous boss must be able to understand the pain of forcing employees!
While cursing the unscrupulous boss in his heart, secretary Jiang suddenly received a transfer prompt on his mobile phone. He looked up in doubt, but heard the unscrupulous boss say:
“You’ve done a good job these days. This is the double salary and double bonus paid to reward you. If you’re willing to continue to work as my agent, you’ll get a doubled salary in the future, and you’ll get a bonus based on your performance. If you’re too tired, you can hire another person…”
“I’m willing!”
Secretary Jiang couldn’t wait to raise his hand. A flash of light flashed over his glasses. At this moment, he was deeply moved by the charisma of his brilliant and powerful boss.
After a moment’s excitement, secretary Jiang showed a professional smile, that was gentle and considerate: “I mean, I’m not tired at all. When it comes to tiredness, president Yan, you have to worry about the company and filming movies. You are the most tired. You must have more rest and pay attention to your body. You should eat more sugar to supplement energy.”
Glancing over the candies and milk tea on the table, secretary Jiang took the milk tea cup and smiled and said with concern: “look, the milk tea is a little cold. It’s bad for your health. I’ll make you another cup. “
“As for me? I’m not tired at all. Work grants people fulfilment. Is it tiring to work hard for president Yan’s new film? I’m willing even if there is no salary.”
Yuan Buwei smiled: “That’s great, then I can save moeny, and you can will receive the salary of a secretary in the future.”
A series of question marks appeared on secretary Jiang’s forehead: “yes?”
He paused with his hand holding the milk tea cup. For a moment, he was impulsive and wanted to throw it.
“Oh, I was just joking.” Looking at the frozen expression on his face, Yuan Buwei added slowly, “Am I the kind of person who squeezes employees?”
Secretary Jiang said with a forced smile: “Oh, oh, of course not.”
“I’ll make you another milk tea.”
He was worried that staying here would affect his continued sanity. If he was not careful, he may do something that violated the law. Secretary Jiang did not delay a second. He took the cup and rushed out of the office, his expression was distorted when he closed the door.
Then, gritting his teeth, he added ten spoonfuls of sugar to the newly brewed milk tea!
Looking at Yuan Buwei drinking milk tea as if nothing was wrong, Secretary Jiang’s business smile showed extremely sinister and distorted intentions.

——Curse someone to get tooth decay, tooth decay, tooth decay!
Rather than continue to be bullied by his unscrupulous boss, causing his hairline to retreat and mind to explode, Secretary Jiang, the newly appointed agent, would rather complete another difficult SSS class job. He promised: “President Yan, don’t worry. I will go find Xie Ze now. No matter where he is and what he is doing, I will tie him up to participate in our new film.”

Everything was going well for Yuan Buwei, and his new film was also being prepared, which made Fu Han very unhappy.
His film failed, and the public opinion was backfired. Shengshi is also making trouble for him. It seems that they are not worried that a giant like Star Entertainment will affect the development of the whole company. They are crazy from top to bottom!
——In any case, Shengshi is not doing what it was supposed to do. “Monologue” has earned several hundred million yuan, combining the funds collected by cinema viewing and online rights. Even if Shengshi does not make more money in the short term, at least it has no problem with battling with star entertainment for several months.
And Fu Han obviously could not stand by like this. If this goes on, his position as president will be lost.
He was so busy for a while that he was almost in the dark and didn’t know the current events.
In the past, he squatted every day to watch Wen Jiaojiao. Pushing off his work with one word, he would fly to the city where Wen Jiaojiao is located that night. Then send gifts and invite her to eat and watch movies when she is free. All these were gone. Instead, he lost more hair every day, lost ten kilograms of meat, and two big black circles emerged under his eyes!
So he didn’t even notice when Wen JiaoJiao was finally released from the detention centre.
