Chapter 7 It's not easy to take advantage of Xinghui Company
"Dear teachers, my performance is over, thank you."

Seeing the girl in front of him bowing respectfully, Lin Yicheng felt a little happy.

As expected, only investors and directors have the final say!

After briefly speaking to Zong Shuai and Zhou Chenggong beside him, Lin Yicheng said:

"Senior Yao Di, your performance was pretty good. Let's discuss it. We'll let you know as soon as we have the result. Remember to keep your phone open."

"Okay, thank you." Yao Di bowed again and walked out.

……

After looking at the list, there are only two main characters that have not been confirmed, one is the female lead and the other is the dean of studies.

"Brother Zong, when will Huang Shengyi arrive?"

Putting down the list, Lin Yicheng looked at Zong Shuai.

Zong Shuai looked at his watch. It was 3: in the afternoon. He said:
"Their plane arrives at 3 o'clock, and it will take them almost o'clock to get here from the airport."

Zong Shuai was still very capable. He persuaded Xinghui to agree to let Huang Shengyi come over for an interview.

Although Zong Shuai is not a big shot now, few people who know the business can underestimate the media resources and connections he has.

For Star Shine Company, even if they cannot cooperate with such people, they will try their best not to offend them.

Especially now that the Hong Kong entertainment industry as a whole has been on the decline, Star Shine is not a big company. Apart from Stephen Chow, there are only a few big cats and small cats.

Of course, regardless of whether they cooperate or not, Lin Yicheng will reimburse the airfare and accommodation expenses. This is their requirement.

"Brother Zhou, what about Teacher Wang's situation?"

"Teacher Wang just finished filming in Shandong Province. He has no problem with the script and the role. He agreed to return to Beijing tomorrow. If there are no problems, we can sign the contract by then."

"Well, Brother Zhou, please continue to follow up. Let's hurry up and try to start the project as soon as possible."

The teacher Wang mentioned by the two is Wang Jinsong.

It’s not the one with the monkey rubber band, but Lin Yaodong, my uncle Dong in society.

Wang Jinsong is naturally a talented actor with impeccable acting skills, but unfortunately he is not popular. He has filmed so many dramas and the audience is familiar with him, but they can't remember his name.

It was not until he was in his 50s that Uncle Dong became truly famous through a phone call and became a giant in the emoticon world.

Lin Yicheng still likes Uncle Dong very much.

When he was not famous, he just filmed honestly. After he became famous, he was neither frivolous nor impatient. He also did not jump out to take advantage of his seniority to point fingers at this and criticize that. He also did not talk nonsense and say things like "like a thorn in the throat", "like a thorn in the back", "like sitting on pins and needles".

pretty good.

……

The three chatted for a while, and then Zong Shuai's phone rang.

He picked up the phone, listened to a few words, and hung up.

"Huang Shengyi is almost here. I'll go down to meet her."

Having said that, he walked out.

The person was invited by the commander, so it was normal for him to go to greet him.

There is no need for Lin Yicheng to do so. As a producer and director, he has to control his attitude.

Otherwise, when people see that you are so aggressive, they will look down on you from the bottom of their hearts, which will not be conducive to subsequent negotiations.

A few minutes later, Zong Shuai pushed the door open first, followed by two women, who were Huang Shengyi and her agent.

As the host, Lin Yicheng naturally stood up to greet him. This was a sign of politeness and cultivation.

"Let me introduce you. This is our director, Lin Yicheng, who is also the author of the original novel. The novel is very popular in the mainland and has sold more than 1.5 million copies so far."

The attentive Lin Yicheng noticed that the agent had a look of surprise on his face. Obviously, he was not so clear about Lin Yicheng's situation. Lin Yicheng was more confident about what was going to happen next.

"This is our producer, Mr. Zhou Chenggong. Mr. Zhou is also a senior producer and has participated in many works."

"This is Miss Huang Shengyi. I believe I don't need to introduce her any further. She just filmed a movie with Mr. Zhou some time ago and was the female lead. This is the agent of Xinghui Company, Ms. Fei."

As the two sides shook hands, Lin Yicheng looked at the two of them.

At this time, Huang Shengyi was full of youth, with a face full of collagen. It was the most beautiful time of her life.

She has a long face and a wide jaw, which is a very elegant face with some heroic feel.

The face does not look very three-dimensional, and the lines are relatively hard, which makes it appear a bit aggressive.

It's barely noticeable now, but after she turned thirty, her appearance became more and more masculine.

Huang Shengyi, 21 years old this year, is pure and beautiful, like a lotus emerging from water. No wonder she can impress Zhou Xingchi, who has seen countless beauties.

As for Ms. Fei, she was about 40 years old, broad and plump, but with high cheekbones, droopy eyes, thin lips, and nasolabial folds.

This kind of facial features will give people the feeling that the person is difficult to deal with, or even sarcastic.

Of course, the observation and psychological evaluation of the two people only took a moment. This was a skill that Lin Yicheng had acquired in his previous life, which allowed him to get a general understanding of a stranger through his facial features in a very short time.

……

After asking the two to sit down on the sofa, Lin Yicheng asked:
"Would you like tea or coffee?"

"Tea, thanks." The person who spoke was the female agent named Fei, who spoke in fluent English, as if she was afraid that others didn't know that she was from Hong Kong Island.

When she saw that the coffee was instant, the female agent named Fei curled her lips slightly, which was noticed by Lin Yicheng.

"Where are you, senior?"

Lin Yicheng pretended not to see it and asked Huang Shengyi. They were both from the Beijing Film Academy. Huang Shengyi was from the Acting Department, Class of 01, one year older than Lin Yicheng. Although they were from different departments, it was not wrong to call her senior.

"I'll just have tea, too."

Huang Shengyi's voice is clear and pleasant, which easily gives people a good impression.

"Mr. Lin, our Eva (Huang Shengyi's English name) has been very busy recently. Stephen Chow arranged several commercials for her, and Mr. Tian also helped her with some business."

Ms. Fei spoke in her broken Hong Kong Mandarin.

Lin Yicheng smiled but said nothing. It was just a negotiation.

Naturally, you have to show the favorable conditions first, and then increase the stakes.

"Ms. Huang, Ms. Fei, I believe you have read the script. Let me tell you something else." Zhou Chenggong took over and said:

"First of all, as Mr. Zong mentioned earlier, the original novel has very good sales and has a large audience base among young people. If Ms. Huang plays the role, it will be easy to consolidate and enhance her image and influence."

Seeing the thoughtful expressions on Huang Shengyi and agent Fei's faces, Zhou Chenggong paused for a moment and then pressed forward.

"In addition, this TV series has attracted the attention of several instructors from the Beijing Film Academy's directing department. They may, to a certain extent, promote the show's broadcast on satellite TV to further attract more viewers."

Zhou Chenggong has been in the circle for so long and has good eloquence. After communicating with Lin Yicheng about some situations in advance, he began to use the tiger's skin and wave the banner.

Although the wording is a bit vague, who can deny this possibility?

As I said, no matter how good a drama is, it is useless if it cannot be broadcast.

Neither Huang Shengyi nor the agent surnamed Fei said anything.

"In addition, Director Lin has a good relationship with some print and online media. When we promote the event in the early and late stages, we will focus our resources on Miss Huang, which will also help increase her popularity."

Hearing this, the female agent named Fei was visibly moved.

"Is this true?"

She was a little bit unconvinced. Is this junior of Eva so good? Is he some second generation?
