Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 196 Don’t let the wealth go to outsiders

Li Qiutang returned to China three days later, and had not yet told Liu Yifei. She did not return to Yanjing, but landed in Shanghai and then went to Jiangcheng.

The first film "Lost on Journey" produced by the company since its establishment is currently being filmed in Jiangcheng and it just started shooting a while ago.

It was Li Qiutang’s first time visiting the set as the boss, and he was still a little uncomfortable.

But the crew still called him Director Li.

Today the crew was filming at Jiangcheng Transportation School. They had taken a fancy to the aviation training cabin that the school had purchased at a high price and wanted to shoot scenes on the airplane here.

Li Qiutang joked with Baoqiang before he even sat down: "I heard about it on the way here. Wow, he drank more than 2 kilograms of milk. That's amazing."

Bao Qiang didn't care and said, "Luckily I got through with one take. If I had taken the second take, I wouldn't have been able to drink it." He even gestured with his hands, "It's such a big bucket!"

Director Ye Weiming said: "We prepared three buckets, but they were not used in the end. The crew drank it."

"Director Li." Xu Shanzheng came over and greeted him politely.

Li Qiutang smiled and said, "I haven't seen you with long hair yet, you look very handsome."

Xu Shanzheng's appearance in "Lost on Journey" is not bad. With his slicked-back hair, glasses, and coat, he really looks like an elite boss.

"Not bad." Xu Shanzheng was also very satisfied with his appearance.

This young man in front of me is really amazing. He accumulated capital at the speed of light by making four movies in three years, and now he has run his own company and is his own boss.

As for Xu Shanzheng himself, he is still acting in some low-budget movies. Although they have good reputations, they do not make much money. It was Huang Bo who became famous in "Stone", and he doesn't know when he will be able to start his own company and become a boss.

Li Qiutang said that she had just returned from South Korea, where she supervised the special effects of a new film.

"That film of yours must have taken a long time to shoot," Ye Weiming said.

"It took almost four months. We started filming in early August and finished filming in late November. It was really exhausting." Li Qiutang said, "There were a lot of troubles in post-production. How are you doing here?"

"I'm fine here, the progress is very fast. The main focus is on these two, they are both very good actors."

After chatting for a while, Ye Weiming started to resume work.

The crew of Lost on Journey didn't need Li Qiutang's help to solve any problems; Li Qiutang just came to take a look as usual.

"Director Li, what happened just now?" Xu Shan asked Li Qiutang for his opinion.

What could Li Qiutang say? As far as performance was concerned, both he and Baoqiang had no problem: "It was good. I have a feeling that you and Baoqiang will become a golden pair in the comedy world."

Li Qiutang said: "Baoqiang is especially good at making a particularly annoying character very likable. I've seen "Soldier Assault" and the character Xu Sanduo is very stubborn and twisted. If such a character is not played well, it will be very annoying to the audience, but when Baoqiang played it, Xu Sanduo was just right. The same is true for Shunliu."

Li Qiutang made no secret of his admiration for Bao Qiang. He even felt that Bao Qiang was the most underrated actor. Not only was he good at both literature and martial arts, he was also serious and humorous. Such actors are rare in the world.

Li Qiutang and Baoqiang worked together once in "To Become Famous". Although Baoqiang did not have many roles, his performance was very good and left a deep impression on Li Qiutang.

"Comedy is so difficult to shoot. If there is a next time, I will definitely look for you again." Li Qiutang promised Baoqiang.

Bao Qiang laughed and said, "Actually, I can act in science fiction films, too."

Everyone laughed, and Li Qiutang said, "That's why I missed it. Sorry, I have to take a call."

Li Qiutang walked aside to answer the phone and talk about work. "Boss Han is definitely not available, even if I invite him," the company called him to discuss the annual meeting guests, "Those coal bosses must be invited, how are they doing in the United States? You guys just watch, have fun, don't make any trouble. Of course we have to invite performance guests!" This annual meeting is not only for the company's own employees, but also for the investors who will come at that time. How can there be no stars to support the scene, "Boss Cao and I will invite, and we will definitely invite big names." He and Cao Ping have great reputations in the circle, and they should be able to invite a lot of people.

"Wait for me to come back and sign for the prizes. Don't be stingy, but don't waste it either. I'll be back tomorrow. The hotel for the guests needs to be high-end, as we're counting on them to invest. Don't forget to call Mr. Zhang from Qilu and invite him over. If he doesn't have time, that's his problem. We have to invite him. Also, tell Mr. Hu from the publicity department."

After explaining the work, Li Qiutang returned to the crew of "Lost on Journey". After staying in the crew for half a day, Li Qiutang left when she saw that there was nothing to do. Before leaving, she exchanged contact information with Xu Shanzheng and agreed to cooperate more in the future.

Li Qiutang returned to Yanjing that night.

Li Qiutang told his colleagues on the phone yesterday that he would be back today. That afternoon, the whole company knew that Director Li would be back tomorrow and his slacking life would come to an end.

"But can someone explain why she is in our company?!" Li Qiutang saw Liu Yifei in her company, and it seemed that she didn't come to the company to play by chance. She was sitting at her workstation, typing on the keyboard seriously, as if she was working.

"Didn't she tell you?" The colleague thought that Liu Yifei had told Li Qiutang. After all, the two had just finished working together on a play, and the leading actress came to the director's company to experience life there, so there was no reason not to tell the director.

"What the hell is she talking about?" Li Qiutang's wish failed. He had intended to give Liu Yifei a surprise after get off work today, but ended up meeting the heroine in his own company.

Liu Yifei was a little afraid to look at Li Qiutang, but she wanted to laugh.

"Come in." Li Qiutang called Liu Yifei into her office, and her colleagues were waiting to watch the fun.

"You told me to act like an ordinary person. I'm fine now. I'm working." Liu Yifei didn't think she was wrong.

"Why don't you go somewhere else to experience life? Why do you have to come here?"

"It's better to work for my boyfriend than for others."

Her twisted logic!

"How long have you been doing this?"

"It's been almost half a month, and I'm just an ordinary clerk."

"So you came to work right after I flew to Korea?"

"almost."

"Does your mother know?"

"I know. She's very supportive." Liu Yifei said with a smile, "Oh, don't be angry. I come to work every day and you can see me every day. What's wrong with that? If I don't do my job well, Mr. Li can criticize me."

"You're so funny." Li Qiutang said, "Just do it. You've never worked before, so let me give you a taste of the hardship of being a worker."

"It's not easy. I was 10 minutes late and one hour's salary was deducted from my salary."

"You deserve it!" Li Qiutang scolded with a smile, "Get out, work hard, and I'll give you a bonus at the end of the year."

"Interns also get bonuses." Liu Yifei hasn't been hired as a full-time employee yet.

"I'm talking about the raffle prize at the annual meeting." Li Qiutang said, "Also, I'll pick you up at your house at 8:30 tonight."

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Okay." She pouted her lips, blew her a kiss, and left Li Qiutang's office laughing.
