That morning, Mai Xiaoyu browsed the entertainment information of the day as usual in his office.


    After reading the entertainment page of the newspaper and starting to browse the hot entertainment news of the day on the Internet, I received a mysterious phone call.


    "Mr. Mai, what are you busy with? If you have time, you might as well look at yesterday''s Yangcheng Evening News."


    The voice on the phone is a little strange. There is still a head and no tail in such a sentence, but the other party calls himself "Mr. Mai". Obviously, it can''t be a wrong number.


    Yangcheng Evening News


    Can Yanjing sell local newspapers?


    Who called me? Why did you let me read Yangcheng Evening News?


    Mai Xiaoyu landed on the official website of Yangcheng Evening News through the Internet and read the electronic version. He read it several times from beginning to end. Only then did he find a news that could barely touch himself in the corner of the legal page - "Yangcheng police warn citizens to be vigilant against street star scout scams".


    Nima, what do you mean?


    This title made Mai Xiaoyu''s instinctive Heart Click for a moment, worried that someone big3 had failed in the past, and someone wanted to threaten.


    When he finished reading the content, his heart was half down.


    The first half of the report said that a Xingxiu film and television company cheated money and sex under the banner of a star scout, which has constituted the crime of fraud. It was destroyed by Yangcheng police not long ago.


    The second half is a brief introduction to the boss of Xingxiu film and television company, including the sentence "once changed the name of Wang Yidong and implemented similar fraud in many places".


    Wang Yidong


    Three minutes later, Mai Xiaoyu knew who called.


    "Mr. Mai, this is the publicity plan of Xianjian formulated by the publicity department according to your plan. See what needs to be changed." Chen Qiaoen knocked at the door with a document.


    "Put it here first and I''ll look back."


    "Something on your mind?" Chen Qiaoen smiled and joked, "sister Tao is back. What else do you have to worry about?"


    Mai Xiaoyu closed his eyes and leaned against the back of the chair. The index finger of his right hand drew a circle on the table. His left hand waved twice at will. He said faintly, "go out."


    You talk to me in that tone?


    Chen Qiaoen was injured.


    Although she is Mai Xiaoyu''s assistant, she has never been aware of the assistant because she is the daughter of the Chen family. Moreover, Mai Xiaoyu has never put the boss''s face in front of her. No matter public or private affairs, they get along like friends. They are good friends.


    Is he going to get sick?


    Thinking of this, the little grievance in his heart disappeared. Chen Qiaoen looked at Mai Xiaoyu with concern and left the office with a light step.


    His illness needs to be treated as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be very serious!


    "Brother Luo Feng, how''s my inquiry about you?"


    "Wu Guodong has very little information. I''ll ask someone to send you an email later. Others can''t be found."


    "Well, I''ll find a way by myself."


    "Don''t mess around. I''ll find someone to tell me. It seems that things inside are not simple."


    "Don''t worry, I know."


    When Chen Qiaoen called Xia Luofeng in the stairwell, Mai Xiaoyu received the mysterious call again.


    "Mr. Mai, have you seen it?"


    The voice is a little self-contained and playful, but it is useless to Mai Xiaoyu.


    He had expected that the other party would call again, so he asked Chen Qiaoen to go out. He didn''t habitually stir up a few words, and worked out a simple response before the phone called again.


    "President Luo, did Wang Yidong commit suicide?"


    Suicide!


    Mai Xiaoyu''s words were amazing. The other end of the phone was silent for a long time before president Luo''s voice sounded. But this time, his tone was much calmer.


    "I don''t know what you''re talking about."


    This is the default.


    Wang Yidong, once the boss of Huaying Baichen film and television company, was the initiator of secretly shooting videos.


    Mr. Luo, one of the investors of Tianlong Babu, is one of the leading actors in secretly shooting videos.


    After seeing Wang Yidong''s name in the report, Mai Xiaoyu spent three minutes thinking of this person, and then it was president Luo who wanted to call. He just didn''t understand the purpose of the other party contacting him.


    Warning or knocking?


    No matter what it was, it was blocked back with the "suicide" first pointed out by Mai Xiaoyu.


    "Why did Mr. Luo suddenly think of calling me?" Mai Xiaoyu lit a cigarette and asked with a smile, as if he hadn''t said anything before. This was the first sentence in the two people''s phone call.


    President Luo also seemed to forget the previous topic and said with a smile: "Mai is not a friend enough. Don''t tell me if he has a chance to get rich?"


    No thief in the world!


    Mai Xiaoyu finally guessed the other party''s intention and pretended to be surprised and said, "isn''t president Luo only interested in investing in TV dramas? How can he also be interested in investing in movies?"


    "Hehe, I''m only interested in making money."


    "Oh, why didn''t you tell me earlier? Now we have agreed with the Sea Union, Yingyi and Yihua. Even the actors have been decided. Just wait for the prop set to be built, and director Feng can start up after he is busy with his work."


    "I have a niece with very good conditions. She has been a student and has made several film and television dramas. She is a fan of Andy Lau. Her biggest wish is to shoot with idols."


    "Why didn''t you contact me earlier? Now the heroine Liu Ruoying''s contracts have been signed and I expect her to drive the box office on Taiwan Island; the second female, Li Bingyu, is also strongly recommended by Yihua; the others are small supporting roles in few plays. I think it''s too unfair to my niece."


    "So there is no room for relaxation?"


    "It''s too late." Mai Xiaoyu paused and said, "otherwise, our company is just preparing to shoot a TV play. I''m confident to make a profit. Is Luo always interested in working together?"


    "What kind of TV series?"


    "Ancient costume fantasy idol drama."


    "What subject matter?"


    "Costume fantasy idol drama. If Luo is always interested, we can sit down and talk, and call our niece to see if there is a suitable role."


    "Who''s the director? Who''s going to star?"


    "The director hasn''t decided yet. The heroine is my sister. Male one, male two, female two and female three are artists of our company. It is estimated that the investment will be about 20 million..."


    your sister?


    The girl who plays "Wang Yuyan"?


    Because there is no lack of criticism in the media!


    Besides, you cute artists.


    If I remember correctly, the biggest wrist is Liu Tao who plays "ah Zhu". It''s only on the third line. Your fairy sword hasn''t her yet.


    How dare you invest 20 million in such a cast? Dare you make money?


    In a luxurious and high-grade office, president Luo hung up the phone and almost laughed.


    "Snow, you heard it too. Are you interested in that ancient costume fantasy idol play?"


    Opposite president Luo, there was a dignified, pure and beautiful young girl sitting there quietly, which was the unique gentle appearance of girls in the south of the Yangtze River.


    The girl shook her head gently: "Uncle Luo, is there no chance in the world without thieves?"


    President Luo contacted Mai Xiaoyu today because xuexiaoning, the daughter of a good friend and partner, asked him for help and wanted to win an important role in "no thief in the world", play with Liu Dehua and cooperate with Feng Dagang.


    He attaches great importance to this, because he is the second generation of officials, while Xue Xiaoning is the third generation of the Red Army, following the regular line of "the first generation goes into politics, the second generation goes into business, and the third generation engages in art".


    So when he came up, he deliberately knocked Mai Xiaoyu with Wang Yidong, trying to take the initiative.


    As a result, Mai Xiaoyu reacted so quickly that he was speechless with an understatement of "suicide". Then he threw out the three companies of the Sea Union, Yihua and Yingyi, as well as the Taiwan box office, blocking his proposal to change actors temporarily.


    Finally, he threw out a so-called ancient costume fantasy idol drama to show his sincerity. He not only invited him to jointly invest, but also welcomed Xue Xiaoning to join in the performance.


    Use both hard and soft, neither humble nor arrogant, and keep a front line in doing things


    This young man is not simple. No wonder Hailian and Yihua used him to prevaricate me.


    "Snow, find another chance next time. When you encounter similar things in the future, remember to tell me earlier."


    Xue Xiaoning smiled: "I just knew it, too. It didn''t take long."


    This is one of the important manifestations of contacts in the circle.


    Not enough contacts, not enough news, people''s cakes are divided, you get the wind, there is no residue!


    "What do you think of the cute TV series? The ratings of pink girl they produced last year are good."


    Xue Xiaoning shook her head again.


    All the stars are newcomers and there is no big brand. It is still a "non mainstream" TV series such as ancient costume fantasy idol drama. Who can have confidence except Meng himself?


    Xue Xiaoning didn''t, so she didn''t want to play.


    Mr. Luo didn''t either, so he didn''t want to invest.


    "Uncle Luo, thank you anyway."


    "Alas, I didn''t help much. I can''t afford it."


    "I''ll go back first."


    "What''s the hurry? It''s almost noon. Have dinner with me."


    "No, uncle Luo, I have something else to do. I''ll leave first."


    After Xue Xiaoning left, president Luo began to think about cute people again.


    At first, he thought that he could easily handle a small company of Mengren''s grade. Not only can Xue Xiaoning insert it, but also can bite on the cake of "no thief in the world".


    I didn''t expect that Mai Xiaoyu didn''t leak anything. He was stunned by his refusal and couldn''t lose his temper.


    Thinking of Mai Xiaoyu''s exchange for Tianlong triangle by secretly shooting videos, president Luo touched his chin: "interesting... Alina, help me check all the film and television works produced by Mengren film and television, as well as the profitability."


    Since its establishment, Meng Ren has only produced two films and one TV play, so Secretary Alina soon got the information Luo always needed.


    The total investment in shooting and publicity of "I believe" is 2 million, and the box office is 40 million.


    The total investment in shooting and publicity of crazy stone is $8 million and the box office is $80 million.


    I don''t know about the investment of pink girl, but the super high ratings will certainly make money.


    Yes, I haven''t been impatient for more than a year. I only made two films and one TV play. Each one made money, and the rate of return is not low. There is no doubt that the only problem is to earn more and less.


    The leading role of each film and television play is new, so as to reduce the artist cost; It also focuses on its artists. While making money, it can also improve the popularity of artists and form a virtuous circle... It is also a stable return on investment.


    President Luo wrote down the four words "cute film and television" on the paper and said to himself, "is it a set?"


    On the phone, Mai Xiaoyu blew the fairy sword. When introducing the main actors, he strongly praised how excellent the company''s artists are, how attractive the ratings will be after the TV series is broadcast, and how beautiful the money scene is.


    This can''t help but make Mr. Luo suspicious.


    Mengren has just invested 35 million to shoot "no thief in the world". Even if the advertising sponsorship fee is expensive, it can''t be settled until the film is released.


    Could it be that they were short of funds and tricked me into investing in fairy sword in order to make his sister popular?


    It''s not impossible.


    Meng Ren is just a small company. He takes out more than 50 million cash at once. The pressure must be great


    "Director Li, Luo is not there."


    "Director Li, you can''t go in..."


    Alina''s flustered blocking voice outside the door interrupted president Luo''s thoughts.


    He raised his head, frowned and stared at the door.


    Li Hui, in his forties and wearing a cap, opened the door and came in. When he saw president Luo behind his desk, he turned back and scolded Alina, and then went to sit opposite president Luo.


    "Cousin, how''s it going with what I entrusted you?"


    As he spoke, Li Hui took off his cap and showed his bald head. The hair around him was very artistic.


    Mr. Luo felt helpless.


    Li Hui and his family are distant relatives. No one has verified how far they are. Anyway, the two families rarely moved around in the past. They were re connected only because of the ties of interest.


    Li Hui is a director, mainly in southern coastal cities. He has made more than a dozen TV dramas, most of which are broadcast on ground channels and city stations, and rarely appear on the stars. His position in the entertainment circle is not high, but his contacts are OK. He has friends in the entertainment circles in the mainland, Xiangjiang and Taiwan Island.


    President Luo''s first investment in the entertainment industry was the relationship that Li Hui helped him get through.


    Although he doesn''t need Li Hui''s help now, president Luo is nostalgic. At least he is a relative again. President Luo still recognizes Li Hui as his cousin.


    "I''m too busy these days. I just came to the company today."


    President Luo politely said, but Li Hui didn''t appreciate it: "if you say you''re busy, how''s my business?"


    "Wait a minute. The wind about you hasn''t passed yet."


    What''s up?


    Unspoken actors!


    All kinds of promises before starting the machine have hidden people a hundred times.


    After startup, people found that I wiped it. What about the agreed main configuration?


    How is it a small role playing soy sauce?


    When most actors encounter this kind of thing, they will choose to bear it, because they are disgraceful when they spread it out; Few actors can''t stand it and find media exposure.


    Li Hui was unlucky. He often walked by the river and finally wet his shoes. This time he met the latter.


    Fortunately, president Luo found out for the first time that he used media relations to press him down in time, which did not have much impact. Otherwise, those ambiguous chat records would have been exposed and hyped in the media.


    To be on the safe side, president Luo suggested that he take a rest for half a year to avoid the wind, but the goods felt calm and restless after three months'' rest.


    Recently, president Luo has been asking whether he has invested in new TV dramas and arranged for him to be a director. It''s really not good, as long as he can join the director group.


    "That''s a big deal. Who doesn''t know who in the circle?"


    President Luo rubbed his eyebrows and suddenly saw the four words "cute film and television" written on the paper. He remembered that Mai Xiaoyu had revealed on the phone that the director had not been determined and had a new idea.


    "A company in Yanjing is preparing to open a new play recently, and the director has not been determined. You are good at ancient costume plays, too. I''ll contact them. If you can, it can be regarded as working and avoiding the wind."


    "Yanjing? I''m not interested. Northerners have five big and three thick skin. Their skin is too rough."


    "What they want to shoot is an ancient costume idol drama. It is said that the stars are new people."


    "Ancient costume idol drama? Starring new people?" Li Hui''s eyes lit up. "This can be considered."


    President Luo picked up the phone with his mouth slightly tilted and said in his heart: I want to see how many kilograms you have
