Chapter 104: Script distribution, Cheng Cheng is doing something else, Artist: It's hard for me to be nervous
The ninth day of the first lunar month, Shinhwa Entertainment Film and Television Company.

The conference room was packed with people. Yan Gou'er, Wen Lian, Meng Cai, Lin Yin, and Wang Hong were all there, as well as more than 30 other artists signed by Shinhwa.

To put it in a more underworld way, Yan Gou'er is now the undisputed top female boss in the company, and even Wen Lian's status is far inferior to hers.

After starring in "A Little Thing Called First Love", as the heroine of a movie with a box office of 30 billion, Yan Gou'er has successfully been promoted to the second line, and has reached the top among the group of young actresses born after 95 and 00. Although there is still a certain gap between her and the 85 flowers, as long as her works can keep up, it is only a matter of time before she catches up with them.

Wen Lian is far behind. Although she is also the leading actress of a movie with a box office of 20 billion yuan, she is not the main character in "All or Nothing". Her role is even less than that of the male lead Li Yang, not to mention the second male lead Cheng Cheng.

At this moment, in the conference room, everyone looked at Yan Gou'er and Wen Lian with envy, even Meng Cai and Lin Yin were among those being envied.

Among these artists, most of them were among the first to follow Cheng Cheng, and they started following Cheng Cheng since "All or Nothing".

Except for Wen Lian, they had a similar starting point as Yan Gou'er, Meng Cai, and Lin Yin. But now Yan Gou'er is already in the second tier, and even Meng Cai and Lin Yin are close to the third tier. One can only sigh that fate is playing tricks on them.

While they were talking, Li Zhuo and Beret pushed the door open and walked in, followed by a frog puppet.

The frog doll is white and green in color, with a round and bulging white belly, and looks very cute.
The huge eyes reveal a clear stupidity, and seem unusually 'intelligent';
His mouth was slightly open, as if he was staring at something incomprehensible. His expression was three parts puzzled, three parts silly, three parts puzzled, and one part inexplicably funny.

Two people and a frog stood in front of everyone, the painting style was a bit weird.
Everyone in the audience was dumbfounded.

What's happening here?
Li Zhuo's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "This is President Cheng. President Cheng is testing the image of our company's mascot."

Cheng Cheng still had a puzzled expression on his face, and a crisp "quack" came out of his mouth, as if responding to Li Zhuo's words.
"puff--"

This guy is actually President Cheng?
There were immediate bursts of laughter from the audience.

But before the laughter could break out, Li Zhuo immediately glared over and glanced around.

Wherever I looked, those who were originally trying to hold back their laughter, some restrained their expressions and sat upright; some lowered their heads and covered their mouths, but their shoulders kept shaking; some pinched their thighs hard, their faces flushed with pain; some looked up at the sky, "Hey, that ceiling looks nice."

Seeing that the situation was under control, Li Zhuo nodded with satisfaction. She said seriously:
"Mr. Cheng is working very hard to test the mascot image for our company. Once it is finalized, it will represent the image of our company and be announced to the outside world. I hope everyone respects Mr. Cheng's dedication and hard work, and does not think this is something funny."

Beside him, Beret thought about all the painful things in life:
You can’t laugh, absolutely can’t laugh! Especially when you’re on stage, if you laugh you’re doomed!

Offstage, Yan Gouer looked at the cute frog puppet and her heart melted: Frog~ So cute~
Wen Lian had a smile on her face and looked at him with interest.

Meng Cai has already begun to imagine how explosive the netizens' reactions will be after this image is released. Cheng Zong is already known as Frog Brother, and with this image, emmmm
Under the gaze of the crowd, the frog puppet lowered its head and whispered in Li Zhuo's ear for a while, and then Li Zhuo nodded, turned to the audience, and said:

"Boss Cheng said that today is the first meeting for everyone since joining the company, and it is also the first day of work after the New Year. Let me introduce myself briefly. I am Boss Cheng's secretary and agent, Li Zhuo. At the same time, I am in charge of the company's entire agent team."

She bent down and continued, "You can just call me Secretary Li. If you need any help or communication in the future, you can come to me. If you have any conflicts with your agent, you can also come to me."

Then she looked at the beret.

The man in the beret responded and said, "I think you all know me. I have now officially joined Shinhwa. I will be the director of our company's director department, in charge of the director department, as well as matters related to director training and production."

He smiled and said, "Happy New Year everyone, from now on just call me Dao Dao."

The frog puppet leaned close to Li Zhuo's ear again and whispered something.

During this time, Li Zhuo kept nodding. Finally, Li Zhuo put away his expression and said:

"Boss Cheng asked me to say a few words, so I'll just say it. Boss Cheng can sign contracts with everyone, which means he believes in everyone.

I will just say two things straight away:
First of all, we hope that everyone is clearly aware of what the entertainment industry is like. The entertainment industry is a place where the strong prey on the weak, believes in the law of the jungle, and steps on the weak and praises the strong.

At the same time, the entertainment industry changes very quickly. It is very likely that your last drama was very popular, but your next drama will be a failure. It is very likely that you are loved by everyone today, but you will be reviled by everyone tomorrow! This is not uncommon at all!
So the first thing I ask everyone to do is to work hard to improve their business capabilities!

Our company is different from other companies. Our company has no nepotism, no hidden rules, no backdoors. If you are capable, you will be promoted, and if you are not capable, you will be demoted! If you are capable, we will not bury you just because you are straightforward or have a bad temper; if you are not capable, we will not promote you just because you are handsome, beautiful, have a good background, or are good at scheming!

Everything is based on business capabilities.

If you don't want to hone your acting skills and lines, then change your career and quit the company as soon as possible to avoid wasting the company's resources and time.

Secondly, the second point I ask everyone to do is to keep themselves clean.

If you get into trouble with someone, get slandered, or are slandered, the company will support you without reservation, but if it is your own problem, the company will definitely not cover it up! Please do not doubt the company's decision-making ability!
If you have done anything immoral, illegal, or against public order and good morals, the company will be the first to give an explanation to the public before the public asks the company to give an explanation.

That’s all I have to say. Finally, I hope that we can live in peace in the days ahead, and I also hope to see you all become famous.”

After saying that, Li Zhuo bowed and automatically retreated to Cheng Cheng's side.

The atmosphere in the entire venue suddenly became solemn. Although Cheng Cheng was sometimes eccentric and no one could understand his train of thought, he was generally kind and casual, just like this cute and humorous frog.

But the new general agent was different! She stood on the stage with a serious expression and no smile at all, which made people feel under great pressure and dared not slack off.

Especially the last sentence, "I hope we can live in peace with you all in the days to come." What will happen if we can't coexist peacefully?

The humorous atmosphere created by Wa Wa was instantly destroyed by Li Zhuo.

The artists who wanted to laugh when they saw Sung Cheng’s look couldn’t laugh anymore.

Even Beret felt somewhat sympathetic and was frightened by Li Zhuo.

If the role he played was the prime minister or the minister, then the role played by Li Zhuo was the East and West Factories.

He made up his mind that he would never mess with this girl unless necessary.

"Cuck!"

Cheng Cheng quacked loudly again, then leaned close to Li Zhuo's ear and whispered.

Li Zhuo: "Mr. Cheng said: My meaning is his meaning."

Now, no artist in the audience has any more lucky mentality.

Although Li Zhuo's words were harsh, they had the right reason to be harsh. Not everyone in the company can play the bad guy, and many artists have little education. If they are not warned about the vilification in advance, it will be even more difficult to deal with them if they get into trouble in the future.

Li Zhuo continued, "Next, I will arrange my work for this year. According to President Cheng, I will tentatively schedule three TV series and two movies this year. In fact, President Cheng originally wanted to arrange more projects, but the company's director team is indeed a little insufficient."

As soon as Li Zhuo finished speaking, the artists in the audience were in an uproar:
“Three TV series and two movies?”

"Fuck, so many?"

"Are all these scripts written by President Cheng?"

"Is President Cheng so productive?"

"If all of them were produced by President Cheng, that would be amazing!"

What does it mean to say the most awesome words in the most ordinary tone!
That’s it!

Three TV series and two movies! What does this mean?! This is already catching up with the top companies in the industry!

Even so, Li Zhuo revealed a hint of regret, saying, "I could have considered arranging more projects." President Cheng is simply a god!
Originally, these artists were worried that there would not be enough resources to go around. After all, there were already several famous people in the company, and resources would definitely go to them first. However, with three TV series and two movies, and so many roles, two would be enough for each of them!

Wang Hong was also excited. She thought it would be hard to wait for the opportunity and that she would have to endure for at least two or three years. Unexpectedly, the opportunity came just after she joined the company!

Li Zhuo continued, "In the first half of the year, we will start with two TV series, iPartment and The Legend of Sword and Fairy. Those whose names are called can come forward to receive roles and scripts."

The artists below the stage held their breath and looked at Li Zhuo and Wa Wa eagerly. Even Wen Lian and Yan Gou'er were not surprised.

"First up is Love Apartment." Li Zhuo called out the first name, "Wen Lian."

Everyone made sounds of envy, but it was no surprise, as she was the second oldest sister in the company, she was definitely indispensable.

Wen Lian walked onto the stage gracefully, and Cheng Cheng, with his two clumsy hands, handed her the script and contract with difficulty.

The man in the beret looked at her kindly and said with a smile, "Come on, Director Cheng said this is a sitcom set in a modern city. It will have six seasons. If nothing unexpected happens, it will push you to the top of the national popularity again. Director Cheng specially designated you as the leading actress, so seize the opportunity."

Wen Lian glanced at Cheng Cheng, feeling deeply moved, and whispered, "Thank you Director Cheng, thank you Director Dao."

Frog nodded.

Frog came close to Li Zhuo's ear.

Frog spoke in a low voice.

Li Zhuo acted as Cheng Cheng's mouthpiece and said to Wen Lian, "Boss Cheng said that you should think about the script carefully. Situation comedy is your strong point."

To be honest, Cheng Cheng was wearing a frog doll's clothes, handing out scripts, and saying some encouraging words. The whole scene was quite weird. Especially when his two pairs of eyes full of wisdom were staring at you with his head tilted, it was really hard to keep calm.

However, when it comes to one's own future and destiny, and whether or not one can get a good role, or whether or not one can get a role at all, in the face of such a major event, everyone can't help but ignore this point.

At this moment, the "wise" frog is the divine frog that controls destiny. Its "wise" eyes seem to have evolved into real wisdom, full of the depth of seeing through everything and a hint of ruthless mockery of fate.

After Wen Lian left, Li Zhuo continued, "Lin Yin."

Lin Yin excitedly walked onto the stage and bowed respectfully: "Director Cheng, Director Dao, Sister Li!"

Beret handed her the script and the contract and said, "Come on, your role is one of the seven members of the fixed group, and you have a lot of scenes. Don't let Director Cheng down."

Lin Yin said: "I will definitely act well and study hard!"

Frog came close to Li Zhuo's ear again, and Li Zhuo repeated:
"Your acting skills still need to be honed. You will have a month of training before the TV series starts. Ask Wen Lian and other experienced actors for advice. I hope you can secure the role before the filming starts."

Cheng Cheng gave Lin Yin the role of "Lin Wanyu". The character of "Lin Wanyu" is not so amazing, but she is clean and pure, which is very suitable for Lin Yin.

After Lin Yin went down, Li Zhuo called out again, "Wang Hong."

When she heard her name, Wang Hong felt her legs go weak, and it was Yan Gouer who helped her stand steadily.

Yan Gou'er said softly, "Go ahead. The first few who are called should have a lot of roles."

"Yeah!" Wang Hong nodded, trying hard to hold back the tears in her eyes, and walked onto the stage with each step as if it was stepping on cotton.

After handing her the contract and the script, Beret also gave her some routine encouragement. Cheng Cheng (reprinted by Li Zhuo):
"You are a professional actor, so I am confident in your acting skills. However, this role requires not only acting skills, but also agility and innocence. Perform well. If you can perform well, I will let you be the heroine in one of the two movies this year."

"Ah?" Wang Hong immediately covered her mouth. Happiness came too suddenly and she had no time to react. "Can I, can I be the heroine too?"

Cheng Cheng (played by Li Zhuo) said calmly: "It depends on you."

Wang Hong said repeatedly: "Thank you Director Cheng, thank you Sister Li!"

Noticing that the beret was still there, she hurriedly said, "Thank you, Director Dao, too!"

The role Cheng Cheng gave to Wang Hong was Chen Meijia, and the movie Cheng Cheng was talking about was "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils".

Cheng Xiaomei in "Zhou Chu Eliminates Three Evils" is both pure and charming, which requires the actor to be able to arouse the audience's sympathy and desire to protect, as well as the audience's desire.

Wang Hong herself is sexy and hot. If she can play Chen Meijia well and make her performance memorable, she will perfectly meet the requirements of the role. Moreover, this role involves large-scale nude scenes, and she is the only actress in the company who is suitable for the role.

Neither Wen Lian nor Yan Gou'er is suitable for taking off clothes, especially Yan Gou'er. Cheng Cheng trains Yan Gou'er as the ultimate version of Liu Yifei + Zhou Gongzi in another world. Taking off clothes will deal a fatal blow to her image.

Wen Lian also won't take off her clothes unless it's necessary. There can be shots showing her figure, but it's really unnecessary for her to take off her clothes. She could have better resources.

Let me make a bold statement: more than 80% of the exposure and passionate scenes in the domestic entertainment industry are not artistic. They are purely for the purpose of elevating themselves or creating gimmicks.

Cheng Cheng stopped Wang Hong from thanking him repeatedly and waved his hand, letting her go.

Wang Hong returned to her seat in a daze. Before she even sat down, she couldn't wait to say to her bestie:

"Xiao Gou'er, President Cheng asked me to play one of the seven main characters! And President Cheng also told me that if I perform well, he would let me play the female lead in a movie! I never thought that this day would come! It feels like a dream!"

Yan Gou'er said seriously, his words hinting at his admiration for Cheng Cheng:

"It's not a dream. Director Cheng is just that kind of person. As long as you show your ability, Director Cheng will not hesitate to give you a chance. Director Cheng is just that kind of person. He is different from others."

-

"Meng Cai!"

"Chi Jian!"

"Yan Congyi!"

"."

Li Zhuo called out names one after another, and soon assigned Zhang Wei, Lisa Rong and some minor roles.

But the most important Zeng Xiaoxian, Guan Gu Shenqi, Lu Ziqiao and Lu Zhanbo were not moved. Except for Lu Zhanbo who was left to Jiang Jun, the other three companies could not find suitable actors.

At present, the quality of the company's actors is still a bit poor, and Cheng Cheng is powerless to promote his own artists.

"Okay, the roles for Love Apartment are over, next is Chinese Paladin."

As soon as Li Zhuo finished speaking, the artists present had different reactions. Those who got the roles felt relieved, while those who didn't get the roles were a little panicked, fearing that they would be left behind.

Among them, Yan Gou'er did not get a role either. People kept looking at her, but she behaved very calmly, with a sense of confidence that gains and losses were acceptable.

"Yan Gou'er!" Li Zhuo finally called her name, and it was the first one in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

It seems that the female lead has been given away again. Everyone guessed that no accident happened. President Cheng still treated Yan Gou'er and Wen Lian as well as before. The positions of the first and second sisters in the company seemed to be quite stable for now.

The man in the beret handed her the contract and the script, and said, "Movies are for improving your status, and TV series are for increasing your popularity. There is still a difference between them. Don't despise the small screen. President Cheng's other movie is also reserved for you."

"I know, Director Dao, I will play every role well." Yan Gou'er said humbly, then she looked at Cheng Cheng and asked boldly, "Director Cheng, will you act in this drama?"

Beret answered for Cheng Cheng: "Yes, Director Cheng is the male lead."

"Ah!" Yan Gou'er was surprised, "That's great~"

Then, she felt that she had overreacted and quickly explained, "I just think it's great to be able to learn from Director Cheng!"

Beret looked at her with a smile and said nothing.

If you know how to be lustful, you will admire Shao Ai. He can see through it, let alone Director Cheng's lustful face.

Cheng Cheng (played by Li Zhuo) reminded: "This filming may take two months, be mentally prepared and ask for leave from school."

"Yeah!" Yan Gou'er nodded his head, "I remember it."

Next, Cheng Cheng assigned other roles.

After the roles for the two TV series were distributed, every artist in the company got at least one role, and some even got two. The most eye-catching one was Wen Lian, who not only got the No. 1 female role in "Love Apartment", but also the No. 2 female role in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", which even she herself did not expect.

Lin Yin, Wang Hong and Meng Cai also got relatively important roles in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

After all, there are too many characters appearing in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

After the division, Cheng Cheng and Beret left first. Yan Gouer had questions to ask and quickly followed.

The other artists walked out of the conference room one by one, feeling that their future was full of hope.

The world is vast and there is a lot to do.

-

Afterwards, Cheng Cheng returned to his office and called Li Yang and Qi Hao. He gave Tang Yu from The Chinese Paladin to Li Yang and Lv Ziqiao from Love Apartment to Qi Hao. Then he turned on his computer and posted a Weibo post:
