I really don't want to be the top streamer anymore

Chapter 108: Beautiful and kind-hearted, divorced and raising a baby (first order required)

"For projects invested by Fengge, whether it is a TV series or a movie, we will give priority to selecting actors from within the company."

"Of course, if Fengge really doesn't have a suitable actor, the company won't stop them from casting outside."

"But in comparison, most directors still prefer our own actors. The main reason is that we have worked together many times and the directors are used to using them."

Zhu Yu pushed up her glasses and spoke.

There is actually a reason why Fengge has grown to such a large scale today.

For example, in the field of film and television, from the early stage of project establishment, crew formation, casting, to the mid-term shooting, post-production editing, special effects, etc., Fengge has almost a complete and relatively top-notch industrial chain in the industry.

"I'll take you to familiarize yourself with it first. If you need help with the casting later, you can always contact me for help."

Following Zhu Yu, Xu Kong came to the building of the film and television department for the second time.

Of course, this time with Zhu Yu personally leading the way, Xu Kong understood it in much more detail.

"The crew with the greatest casting needs recently should be Director Ding Lixin's crew."

"This film, The Promise of Night, has an investment of 300 million yuan. It is the largest new project our company has invested in recently."

Zhu Yu pointed to the crowd queuing for auditions not far away and introduced them.

Xu Kong knew Ding Lixin, one of the most famous TV drama directors in China.

He has produced a large number of classic film and television works. He is in his forties and is in the prime of his life. In recent years, he has produced a surge in works, and his creative desire and inspiration are overflowing.

Of course, although almost no one lost money, the reputation was mixed.

“How come I wasn’t selected?”

"Do you know that I turned down several activities for you for this role?"

"What's the point of having you? You have no talent and no looks, and your future will be like this."

There was a noisy sound, it was a middle-aged male manager scolding his young artists.

Xu Kong was not surprised.

After all, even for a large company like Fengge, internal resources still have to be fought for.

After all, there are just too many artists.

As for celebrity agents, it is also an industry where the fittest survive.

Most agents do not have a basic salary and make money by taking a share of the artist’s announcement fees and the like.

Restricting the freedom of stars by their agents is a relatively minor punishment, and beating and personal attacks are also very common.

When Xu Kong was a trainee in his previous life, he had seen too many scenes like this and had become numb to them.

After all, there are only a few artists who have fans and appear in the public eye.

Most of the time, they waste several years of their best youth, and finally find that they can't make it, and are completely abandoned by the agency, so they have to change careers.

"Wait for me here for a while."

Zhu Yu's voice suddenly came.

Then, before Xu Kong could react, the other party walked straight towards the young girl who was abandoned by her agent and was squatting on the ground crying.

Zhu Yu squatted down beside the girl, patted her back and comforted her softly.

Xu Kong was not very close and could not hear clearly what Zhu Yu said to the other party.

But after a few minutes, the girl stopped crying, but was still sobbing softly when she left.

Zhu Yu watched him leave before walking back to Xu Kong.

"what happened?"

Noticing that Xu Kong was staring at her, Zhu Yu asked curiously.

"Sister Yu, you are really a beautiful and kind person."

Xu Kong praised from the bottom of his heart.

Considering Zhu Yu's position as the manager of the artist department, with so many artists in Fengge, it is normal to completely ignore these low-level artists.

But the other party almost subconsciously walked over to comfort her.

It is estimated that similar situations have occurred many times before.

Zhu Yu tucked her hair behind her ears and replied with a natural smile: "Thank you for the compliment."

“We all started out as rookies in the workplace.”

It can be seen that Zhu Yu is a rare person who completely separates work and life.

And this is also in a special industry like the entertainment industry.

"I'll help you put together the crew. It should be finalized within this month."

"Currently, Feng Ge is not on the crew yet, and there are still quite a lot of photographers and executive directors."

"You just need to take care of the casting."

After taking Xu Kong for a walk, Zhu Yu began to speak.

The phone rang and Zhu Yu picked up. "I have something to do. Can you wait for me here for a while?"

Xu Kong looked at the time, confirmed that it was not yet time for the other party to get off work, and nodded.

Not long after, Zhu Yu came back, holding the hand of a cute little girl, about four or five years old, who looked like a porcelain doll.

"Call uncle."

The girl looked at Xu Kong and said, "Brother, you are so handsome!"

Xu Kong was stunned for a moment, then bent down and touched the other person's head.

"You're cute too~"

"This is?"

Xu Kong looked at Zhu Yu with some curiosity.

"My daughter's kindergarten suddenly suspended classes today, so she was sent to the company."

Zhu Yu replied with a smile.

Xu Kong looked slightly surprised.

I originally thought she was Zhu Yu's niece or something, after all, she looked to be only about 27 or 28 years old.

I didn't expect my daughter to be that big already.

"Do you mind taking her with you later?"

Zhu Yu asked Xu Kong for his opinion.

Xu Kong shook his head: "Of course I don't mind."

"I divorced her father a long time ago, and this little girl is very noisy. Normally, I won't let her come to the company."

Zhu Yu started to explain.

Patting the little girl's head lovingly.

"What's your name?"

Xu Kong looked at the girl and asked with a smile.

"Zhu Min, just call me Min Min~"

It can be seen that Zhu Min's personality is similar to Zhu Yu's and she is not afraid of strangers at all.

"Big brother, are you my mother's boyfriend?"

The sudden question almost made Xu Kong unable to hold back.

"what?"

Zhu Yu, who was standing beside him, blushed and said, "Minmin, don't talk nonsense to your uncle!"

"My mom said the last time she took me camping that it would be nice to have a man at home so she wouldn't have to work so hard to set up the tent."

"She's not young anymore, it's time for her to find a boyfriend."

The girl looked so serious and smart that Xu Kong couldn't help laughing.

“I told you to watch less TV.”

Zhu Yu couldn't help but hold her forehead with her hand, with a helpless expression.

"Don't mind it."

Xu Kong shook his head.

"it does not matter."

In the next few hours, the original plan was disrupted because of Zhu Min's arrival.

The other party kept asking Xu Kong questions all over the place and had no time to rest.

He even insisted on teaching him how to pursue his mother. Xu Kong listened to the class helplessly.

It can be said that I happened to remember all of Zhu Yu's interests, hobbies and living habits.

However, Xu Kong had very few opportunities to interact with children in his two lifetimes, so he found them quite interesting.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't expect Minmin to be so enthusiastic about you."

Zhu Yu seemed quite guilty about delaying her work.

"No, Minmin is very cute."

Xu Kong waved his hand.

"Goodbye big brother!"

Zhu Min, who was taken away by Zhu Yu, waved at him.

Xu Kong also smiled and waved goodbye to the mother and daughter.
