Become a star after debuting from a romance show

"I've made money!" Du Xiao was extremely excited. Although there wasn't much left after paying taxes on the box office revenue of 100 million yuan, it was still much more than the total salary she earned in the two years after graduation.

"What do you want to buy?" She has already started to add to the shopping cart.

Compared with her, Yan Ran is very calm, and the recognition of her abilities within and outside the circle is more important than money and income.

Two low-budget masterpieces in a row, the second one even achieved a box office result of 20 times the cost. Is this another Luo Jingchuan?

Many people in the industry know that this female director is much more stubborn than Luo Jingchuan. Luo Jingchuan would still agree to the employer's request to recruit people or slightly modify the script, but Yan Ran had nothing to talk about.

However, looking at such a high rate of return, the investors who had been rejected before could not help but get ready to make a move, and were ready to shamelessly come to the door again.

Only a few people found out about the project application submitted by a film and television company called Hongmeng Pictures in the National Film Administration's registration and publicity inquiry. The movie is called "Jingwu Heroes", and the screenwriter column says Xu Rui, and then again Check the company, the legal person is Yan Ran.

Only then did everyone know that the two were secretly preparing a third film.

The high reputation and box office of "The Lost Way" provided support for the casting of "Fist of Heroes". Actors who had been hesitant about receiving their invitations before, or who were reluctant to audition, began to seriously consider it again.

"These people are too snobbish. They used to be indifferent." Du Xiao was a little unhappy.

Yan Ran was open-minded: "It's normal. You have to prove your ability before others are willing to cooperate with you."

Xu Rui didn't express his opinion. The unexpected performance class had ended long ago. There were a lot of people queuing up at Nie Peisheng's side. Recently, he could only practice by himself.

There are many artists in Shenghua Entertainment who lack resources. Seeing Yanran's development, she also wants Xu Rui to help start a small business, so Lu Ziliang will naturally do the communication.

"Hello, Brother Liang?" After receiving a call from Lu Ziliang, Xu Rui thought it was an announcement.

Unexpectedly, Lu Ziliang said: "Well... there are a few young artists here in the company who want to take the acting route. Aren't you planning to star in a movie? The company is not forcing people to join you, but I just want to ask if there are any suitable roles. Let them go to the audition and try to be the best. It doesn’t matter if they don’t get the audition. Never force it.”

When Xu Rui heard this, he smiled and said, "If it's based on ability and doesn't force anything, and just provides an audition opportunity, I think it's fine."

Seeing his agreement, Lu Ziliang smiled and said, "That's great. The company actually has the attitude of casting a wide net, just in case anyone among them has talent."

Xu Rui also understands that, including the recently emerging anchor circle, it is all a routine. A company signs dozens, hundreds or even thousands of people, and whoever is popular will be praised, and others will be left alone if they are not good.

"Is there anything else?"

Lu Ziliang said: "Can you do it? You are going to participate in a charity event recently, and Dongfeng Mobile Phone will take a new promotional picture. Oh, by the way, it is the end of the year soon. Don't forget the song you promised Tang Biao. She is doing it over there. I’m preparing for the next album, and I’m really looking forward to your song.”

Not to mention Xu Rui, he really forgot. He immediately said: "Well, help me ask what the theme of her new album is."

"Okay." Lu Ziliang responded.

He and Lu Ziliang were chatting, and Yan Ran and Du Xiao were also talking about the company. In addition to the preparations for the crew, the company also needed to recruit people for operation and management.

At present, Hongmeng Pictures is just a name. It is no different from the previous studio. Now that funds are guaranteed, it is time to recruit people. None of them are professionals, and their time is limited. It is probably too much for one person to hold multiple positions. It won't be long before the company goes out of business.

Xu Rui's first thought was to poach Shenghua Entertainment, but it was just an idea. After all, he was still an artist from Shenghua Entertainment. He bet that these multiple relationships made it difficult for him to lose face and do such an immoral thing.

If Gu Qiming knew that he had this thought, he would probably spit out blood.

If it's hard to find someone yourself, then you'll find a headhunter. However, Xu Rui still called his sister Xu Shu first: "Sister, my company needs to find a manager. Can you introduce me to a reliable headhunter?"

"Okay, wait for my news." Xu Shu agreed readily, and her actions were even more efficient. Xu Rui received a call in the afternoon.

"Hello, my name is Luo Gongcai. I am friends with your sister. She told me about the matter. Let's meet and talk?"

"Okay." Xu Rui agreed immediately and made an appointment with Luo Gongcai at a coffee shop.

Yan Ran and Du Xiao didn't go, so Xu Rui went alone. When he arrived, he saw a fat man in a suit and leather shoes sitting by the window elegantly eating a red velvet cake.

There was no one else in the coffee shop. Xu Rui estimated that this person was Luo Gongcai. Sure enough, as soon as he walked in, the other party waved to him: "Mr. Xu, here."

After shaking hands and taking a seat, Luo Gongcai smiled and said, "Mr. Xu, would you like to order something?"

Xu Rui shook his head: "No, if you and my sister are friends, don't call me husband. It's too polite."

Luo Gongcai explained: "We are really friends. Your sister and I are college classmates and we have a close relationship."

Xu Rui suddenly said: "Then you haven't chased my sister?"

Mr. Luo almost choked to death after taking a bite of the cake: "No, no, no, I am self-aware."

Xu Rui's tone was slightly contemptuous: "I'm afraid, how will you know if you don't try."

"Is your sister interested in me?" Luo Gongcai couldn't help but think of the scene where the hero and heroine have been secretly in love with each other for many years, but no one spoke first because they were afraid.

"No, I just said it casually." Xu Rui looked at him, "Were you excited just now?"

"No!" Luo Gongcai wanted to shove the cake in Xu Rui's face, "Let's get down to business, your film company wants to recruit management talents?"

Xu Rui nodded: "Well, I'm not interested in management. If you really want to manage, just go home. I will still focus on artist work in the future. Yan Ran is also focused on being a director, so we need someone to run the company. Share."

Mr. Luo nodded: "I understand. Please tell me the specific job requirements and the salary range you can provide."

Xu Rui: "emmm..."

"What's wrong?" Mr. Luo was confused.

Xu Rui looked at him with big sincere eyes: "I don't know, what are the general standards in the industry? Can you tell me?"

"..." This time it was Mr. Luo's turn to be speechless. This guy in front of him is really a family member of the resolute Xu Shu, a biological sibling?

"What else do you want to eat? I'll treat you." Xu Rui asked enthusiastically.

"No, no, no, I have plenty of time. I'll tell you slowly." Mr. Luo reached out to unbutton a collar button, coughed lightly, and started talking.

The two of them sat together for a whole afternoon.
