I am a leader in the entertainment industry

Chapter 6: First Meeting

A week later, Li Qi drove to a high-end club in Beijing. According to Xiao Jiaer’s report, he had reached a preliminary cooperation intention with Tangren and had an appointment with Tangren CEO Cai Yinong today.

Li Qi never attends the cocktail parties held by celebrities, bigwigs, and company bosses, where a bunch of people flatter each other. Celebrities and socialites are keen on such occasions. They are also very good at such socializing. Li Qi has received several such invitations, but he has no interest in attending.

He still likes to have small gatherings with close friends, drink tea together, discuss life, and chat about trivial matters. Even if they have run out of things to say, they don’t feel awkward just sitting together. Although such friends are rare, Li Qi is so willful and lives his life the way he likes.

Liu Shishi is a contracted actress of Tangren Films. She graduated from a dance school, but her acting skills have never been recognized. In the TV series produced by Tangren before, the heroine seemed to be more keen on finding foreign aid, and she has never been given the opportunity to play the leading role. She herself is also more Buddhist, so she has always been tepid.

A few days ago, I heard from her boss Cai Yinong that Miracle Media Company approached her company to cooperate in filming a TV series. At first, she didn’t take it seriously. There are many such things. Which TV series doesn’t have several companies cooperating?

Later I heard that the other party’s boss was a big shot.》、《It would be great if I could get in touch with the author of The Legend of the Condor Heroes. These two novels are so popular. If I could play the leading role in them, I would definitely become famous. Then I can do whatever I want for a few years.

Li Qi didn’t know that he had been remembered. He pushed open the door of the private room in the club. The four women looked at Li Qi at the door of the private room. Li Qi calmed himself down and said,”I didn’t expect that I was the last one to arrive. I’m sorry.”

Xiao Jiaer took the initiative to change the topic and began to introduce the two parties. Li Qi also looked at the three people opposite him.

Director Lin Jianfen is a female director in her forties. She is not tall, but she looks very capable. Another director of Tangren Films, Cai Yinong, is in her thirties and has a gentle temperament. Time has not concealed her beauty.

The last one is Liu Shishi. She is in her early twenties and is indescribably beautiful. Her beauty is dignified, classical, and as gentle as a chrysanthemum. When Li Qi saw her, he felt comfortable, as if time had slowed down.

Liu Shishi respected Li Qi very much and behaved very politely, but Li Qi ignored her and started chatting with Director Lin Jianfen.

“Director Lin, thank you very much for setting up the crew, scouting locations, and using props for”Startling by Each Step”!”

“Mr. Li, you are too polite. This is the right thing to do. I have read the novel”Startling by Each Step” and it is very suitable for TV adaptation. It is my honor that Mr. Li can choose me as the director.”Director Lin Jianfen smiled and replied

“Director Lin, just call me Li Qi, don’t call me Mr. Li, I am a junior, I don’t deserve that.”Li Qi said quickly

Cai Yinong also smiled and said,”Then can I call you Mr. Li?”

Li Qi knew that Cai Yinong was joking, so he half-jokingly said,”It’s all my fault for being young and promising. Just call me by my name!” Seeing that Liu Shishi looked like she wanted to speak, he added,”The same goes for Miss Liu Shishi.””

Everyone laughed when they heard this. Liu Shishi took out two novels from her bag, handed them to Li Qi and said,”Mr. Li Qi, I’m a fan of your books. Can you sign them for me?”

Xiao Jiaer, who was sitting next to Liu Shishi, held Liu Shishi’s hand and said to Li Qi,”Li Qi, Shishi and I have lived on the same street since we were young. Isn’t that a coincidence? We can visit each other during the Chinese New Year.””

In fact, they are both from Beijing. Although they live in the same street, Liu Shishi comes from an ordinary family, while Xiao Jiaer lived in a cadre retirement home with her grandparents when she was a child. It is a very high-level family.

Li Qi took it with a smile, took out a pen and signed his name on the two books, adding the date and a blessing.

After getting the book back, Liu Shishi looked at the handsome signature on the book, as well as the names of Li Qi and Liu Shishi, and her two little ears turned red.

“Li Qi, what are your thoughts on the actors for our TV series? Have you decided on any? Cai Yinong asked Li Qi

In fact, most film and television companies use their own actors when making movies. No one will make wedding dresses for others, except for the actors of the other party who are famous and need help to bring the newcomers of their own company to improve their status. The last type is a few big directors, because he himself is the biggest star, so Cai Yinong is of course interested in fighting for opportunities for the actors of his own company.

Li Qi looked at Director Lin and said,”Of course you have to ask Director Lin about the actors. I have no problem with that. If they meet the requirements of the role, we can give priority to the artists from our two companies.”

Director Lin Jianfen naturally knows the key here. After so many years of filming TV series, everyone knows that TV series are used to promote people, and promoting people is to make them famous. When people become famous, various advertising endorsements will come to them.

So I changed the subject back to,”The heroine of this drama is the most important, so let’s listen to Li Qi’s opinion.”

Li Qi smiled, knowing that Tang Ren’s investment accounted for 30%, so one of them must be the male or female lead. He looked at Liu Shishi and said,”Shishi is good. I think she is very suitable for the heroine of this drama.”

After hearing these words, Shishi looked up and met Li Qi’s eyes. Her heart was beating like a deer and her face turned red.

When Cai Yinong heard the other party propose Shishi, he quickly said to Shishi:”Shishi, thank Li Qi quickly!”

Liu Shishi nodded to Li Qi to express her gratitude. Actually, it was not appropriate to bow here. It was enough to express her gratitude.

Soon the dishes were served. Cai Yinong ordered a bottle of red wine. Li Qi used tea as an excuse to toast each other.

Then Xiao Jiaer joined in. The girls got more and more interested in each other’s conversation. The topic was opened up and the atmosphere was naturally lively. Li Qi gradually became quiet.

When they came out of the club, the girls had drunk a lot, but Liu Shishi acted like a good girl in front of Li Qi, and didn’t drink a drop of alcohol like Li Qi.

Cai Yinong and Director Lin Jianfen had the company car waiting there, and Li Qi was definitely going to take Xiao Jiaer home. Since her boss didn’t drink, she could only drink a few more glasses on his behalf.

Liu Shishi was going back to her parents’ home, and Cai Yinong suggested that Li Qi give Shishi a ride.

The car was driving on the road. Xiao Jiaer had drunk some wine and was a little sleepy. I didn’t know if she was asleep or not.

The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Li Qi took the initiative to chat:”I have watched”The Legend of the Immortal Heroes”, and I really like your role as Long Kui.”

“But everyone likes the heroine Tang Xuejian, what’s so good about Long Kui?” Liu Shishi asked seriously.

Li Qi thought for a moment and said,”Long Kui has no desires or requests. She only hopes to be with her brother. When she faces the choice between life and death, she chooses to sacrifice her own life and let her brother save the world. She is a person who deserves to be treated well by the world, but the world seems to always let her end up in tragedy. What a pity!”

When Liu Shishi heard this, her heart was filled with joy. The two chatted with each other along the way, and before they knew it, the feeling of strangers had gone away!
