Chinese Entertainment Intelligence King

Chapter 140: Poaching a Millionaire to Work for You

After leaving the crew of "Number One Under Heaven", the seven women chattered excitedly because of their victory.

Fatty Fan was still unwilling to give in: "The third brother is just a coward. Just now, when he called out, everyone rushed over together and beat that little bitch into submission."

Huo Siyan, who had been acting like a quail just now, is now in high spirits: "I'm ready to take off my shoes. I'm wearing thick-soled shoes today, which can be used as weapons directly."

Hey!
Dong Xuan couldn't help but look at her. She had rich experience in fighting.

Jiang Xin also rolled up her sleeves and said, "Just those few people just now, I killed two by myself."

Among the seven fairies, she is the tallest and has a relatively voluptuous figure. If a team battle had really started just now, she would definitely be a top-notch "fighter".

Li Bingbing, who was in a daze just now, had just figured out the situation on the way and was now reviewing it with great interest.

"I don't know that short girl, and the other two are probably from Hong Kong. They may not help. Separate two of them and stop Gao Yuanyuan and the girl. The others can easily fight five against one."

At this stage of the crew, the distinction between Hong Kong and Taiwan actors and mainland actors is not so exaggerated, but most of the time they play their own roles.

There are factors such as differences in habits, experiences and languages, as well as some clashes of ideas.

In the same crew, there are many examples of Hong Kong and Taiwan actors looking down on mainland actors, and on the mainland, for various reasons, it is also not uncommon for a large number of people to form groups and bully the newcomers.

To put it bluntly, if colleagues who are filming together cannot play together, then they can just play separately.

In addition, the filming of "The World's Number One" has just started, and these people probably don't know each other, let alone help.

Li Lin and Yang Xue looked at each other without saying anything.

Now each one is more talkative than the other, saying, "You are so capable just now, you just slapped him, and the others just watched and did nothing."

Dong Xuan did not dampen everyone's enthusiasm. She took a group of people to beat Huang Shengyi. She was in a good mood at the moment and even looked at Huo Siyan with some favor.

"Thank you for your support, sisters. If you want to go out to eat, it's my treat."

Fatty Fan rubbed his hands and said, "It's a rare opportunity for Madam Zai Yan, so we won't be polite."

Dong Xuan was overjoyed when she heard what Madam Yan said: "You're welcome, order whatever you want. After dinner, let's go karaoke. I'll cover everything."

She is rich!
Although the pay for "The Seven Fairies" was a bit high, it was not a small amount. Dong Xuan didn't have a company or anything, so apart from paying taxes, the rest was hers.

Not to mention that Yan Li was very generous and would give her a stack or two of pocket money from time to time so that she could buy clothes and groceries.

Moreover, Dong Xuan still had the "backup plan" that Yan Li had asked her to keep. Not only did she not touch it much, she would sometimes even add some to it.

Up to now, adding up all the little things, Dong Xuan is not a millionaire, but she is not far from it.

Not to mention treating them to karaoke, feeding them with good food and drink for six months is no problem at all…

We have to shoot a movie tomorrow, so a few of us didn't go to the city. We found a good restaurant near the film and television city, had a meal, and then went to sing karaoke, playing until after eleven o'clock.

Yan Li, who had been notified by phone, could no longer bear it and went to the KTV box.

Then I saw Shuang Bing hugging each other's shoulders and singing "The Wine Is Gone", while Dong Xuan, Jiang Xin and others beat the rhythm for them.

Several people were in good condition, they must have drunk a lot, but except for Yang Xue and Li Lin who were a little confused, the others were at most a little excited. Dong Xuan's face was only slightly red, and her eyes were clear.

After all, they were relying on her to pay the bill. Dong Xuan drank too much, so they were taken advantage of. They ordered a lot of good wine...

Yan Li felt slightly relieved. The women were not so stupid that they knew how much he could drink and even called in advance.

But he is quite brave. This kind of place is full of all kinds of people, and there are few men to protect him. What if he runs into a rogue one?

If you don’t “beat” him for three days, he will tear off the tiles from the roof!

Yan Li was thinking about how to deal with Dong Xuan, but in front of the girls, he didn't say anything and just nodded at his watch.

"Sisters, is it time to close it?"

In the past, Producer Yan would still have some face, but now everyone has drunk and become bolder.

"It's not even twelve o'clock yet, why rush? The nightlife has just begun."

"That's right, it's a rare occasion for us to get together, so don't spoil the fun."

"Exactly. The crew is almost wrapping up filming, and we don't know when we'll get together like this again. This can be considered a farewell party."

"..."

The girls were chattering at the same time, either acting coquettishly or playing tricks, and Yan Li was a little overwhelmed.

Besides, what several people said makes sense. The filming of the crew is coming to an end, and some actors have to leave the crew before the crew finishes filming.

For example, the more popular Shuang Bing, especially Li Bingbing, took two leaves last month. Both of them had given notice and had to leave as soon as their scenes were finished.

Therefore, the probability of the seven fairies gathering together for the wrap-up banquet is quite low, and it is hard to say about the subsequent publicity, considering the personal relationships among several people.

It is possible that today is really the last private gathering of the Seven Fairies.

Thinking of this, Yan Li stopped urging them to leave and simply said, "You guys can have fun. I'll stay here to watch over you. I'm worried about you without any men."

"Go, go, go."

The girls didn't argue with him, and to some extent, with Yan Li around, they had fewer worries and concerns and had more fun.

Yan Li picked up a bottle of Budweiser beer, listened to music and drank, then took out his mobile phone to play Snake.

Dong Xuan was worried that Yan Li would be angry, so she wanted to go and explain, but was stopped by Fan Xiaopang and the others to drink.

I was worried that no one would pay the bill, so I didn’t give her any wine. Now that Yan Li is here, I don’t have to be polite.

"..."

While playing with my cell phone, someone suddenly touched the beer in my hand. I looked up and saw that it was Li Bingbing.

The latter leaned back on the sofa, took a sip of wine, and said with a sigh and sadness: "I am old now, and I can't be as crazy as these girls. When I was young, I could go to the nightclub and dance all night long. Now I am tired after singing a few songs in KTV."

"Your mentality has matured, your needs have upgraded, and you're pursuing different things."

Yan Li could understand this mentality to some extent. When he was in college, he liked to go to the Internet cafe to play when he had nothing to do, and he had stayed up all night more than once or twice.

Now that I am about to open my own Internet cafe, I am becoming less and less interested in going to the Internet cafe.

Sometimes, compared to those online games, he would even rather play the Snake game on his phone by himself.

Li Bingbing rolled his eyes at him. "Maturity means old age. Doesn't that mean I'm old and my thinking is different from that of young people?"

"..."

Yan Li didn't argue with her and directly praised her: "Don't worry about your age. I think you look much better now than before."

Li Bingbing said disdainfully: "Don't use those tricks you use to coax little girls on me."

"Do not lie to you."

Yan Li said sincerely, "Red energy nourishes people. Compared to last year, I really think your eyebrows and eyes are much more refined. You look more confident and charming."

Yan Li was not just saying this to cheer Li Bingbing up, he really had this idea.

The status of celebrities, especially female celebrities, is indeed different whether they are popular or not.

People like Li Bingbing, whose style is more strong and heroic, are even more influenced by this aspect.

When she was not famous, she was just a country girl. When she became famous, she was so powerful that she could compete with Fan Xiaopang, who was prettier than her, and even suppress the other party.

Yan Li had seen the group performance of the Seven Fairies with his own eyes. Li Bingbing was definitely not the most beautiful fairy among them, but she was definitely one of the most eye-catching fairies.

In line with the second fairy's strong, domineering, cold and tough personality, Yan Li dare not say that this role can become Li Bingbing's representative role, but it can definitely be regarded as a stunning and beautiful figure in his career resume.

"Tsk, smooth talk."

Li Bingbing expressed disdain, but a hint of pleasure flashed across her eyes. Regardless of how true or false Yan Li's words were, she felt very comfortable listening to them.

She is somewhat insecure about her looks. At least she knows that she is not particularly beautiful in the entertainment industry. So, just praising her looks is not enough. Praising her temperament seems a bit like an insult.

But Yan Li combined Li Bingbing's current successful career, and used some points to lead to other points, praising her even more, which not only touched her sore spot but also made her words seem meaningful.

Humph, no wonder my sister was so obsessed with this bastard.

Li Bingbing glanced at Fan Xiaopang who was singing again over there, and moved closer to Yan Li.

"Director Feng's film 'A World Without Thieves' will start filming at the end of this month."

"heard."

Yan Li glanced at Li Bingbing and said, "What? Didn't we say you were the one?"

Last month, Huayi probably wanted to gain some exposure for the movie, so two people came to compete for the role.

Yan Li also cooperated in the hype, making the battle between the two soldiers more and more intense.

But in fact, according to Yan Li, the actors for "A World Without Thieves" were originally cast from Hong Kong, with Anita Mui, who passed away last year, being the first choice.

Later, Anita Mui's health was not good, so they chose other actors. People in Huayi, led by Wang Jinghua, had an idea to use two forces at the same time, a female lead and a second female lead.

After various considerations, Huayi finally decided to let Milk Tea Sister play the female lead, Li Bingbing played supporting role to Rene Liu, and Fan Xiaopang kept things cool.

This approach made Li Bingbing somewhat dissatisfied, not to mention Fan Xiaopang. Wang Jinghua simply had a quarrel with Huayi's Mr. Wang.

Li Bingbing came to see Yan Li for this very reason: "Can you help me snatch that female lead surnamed Liu?"

"Cough cough."

Yan Li nearly choked to death on his beer: "Sister, do you really take me for a god?"

The female lead in "Cell Phone" was chosen because of the right time, place and people. Li Bingbing was already a popular candidate and her competitors were not strong, so he gave her a push and helped her succeed.

"A World Without Thieves" is much more complicated than "Cell Phone" was at that time.

That Milk Tea Sister is no pushover, and she's backed by Hong Kong and Taiwan investors. Even the supposed male lead, Ge Da Ge, played a supporting role to Liu Tianwang, which shows how much influence Feng Xiaogang and Huayi had on this project. Li Bingbing was lucky to hold onto the role of the second female lead; he initially thought it would go to Fan Xiaopang.

"Can't you help me and Xiao Fan? This is also what Sister Hua meant."

Li Bingbing was not reconciled and moved out Fan Xiaopang and Wang Jinghua.

In this matter, the interests of the three people are the same. Li Bingbing plays the leading female role, the second female role belongs to Fan Xiaopang, and Wang Jinghua's two subordinates take the position.

"It's useless even for Sister Hua to come to me in person. It's not that I don't want to help, it's just that I can't help."

Yan Li spoke frankly. Although he was more utilitarian in his work, he was not profit-driven. Shuang Bing was also his friend, so he would definitely help if he could.

But there was really nothing he could do about it.

Li Bingbing sighed helplessly: "It's our own play, and our own artists have to play supporting roles for others. It's frustrating."

"Don't complain. You have a good role after all. I'm really angry about that."

Yan Li nodded towards Fan Xiaopang. She had not appeared in two consecutive Feng Xiaogang films and had not even gotten the second female lead. One could imagine how Fan Xiaopang felt.

If this continues, I'm afraid they will rebel!
Yan Li was happy to see this happen and even wanted to add fuel to the fire. Wang Ou had good conditions, but his foundation was too shallow and his abilities had not been honed.

This future billionaire is different. She is above average in every aspect. She is a top-tier talent, and she is brave, hardworking and ambitious.

If Sister Hua hadn't been nice to him, he would have poached her long ago.

But if Fan Xiaopang is determined to leave Huayi, then Yan Li will not feel guilty about dancing with the hoe.

Although he is not as powerful as Huayi now, one thing is certain: he is better than the other party, and the resources are limited to his own people.

If Fan Xiaopang makes more money, Yan Li can prioritize her resources over Qin Lan and Dong Xuan.

As for Li Bingbing...

Yan Li actually wanted to dig, but the resources he had were not enough to satisfy the other party.

What's more crucial is that Huayi can't even handle two soldiers, and Yan Li can't control these two at the moment. If they really get Yi An, the fights will be like a hot kiln every day.

Li Bingbing didn't know what Yan Li was thinking, but when she thought that Fan Xiaopang was even more miserable, she felt much better.

"Didn't you say she was young? Young people have to endure a little longer."

Yan Li: “…”

Just now they were hugging each other and singing, looking like close sisters, but now they turn around and start gloating.

As they were talking, Dong Xuan finally got rid of a few people. Seeing Li Bingbing and Yan Li chatting alone, she came over with some concern.

"what's the topic?"

"It's just a personal matter, ask him."

Li Bingbing spoke in an ambiguous tone, winked at Yan Li, and then left. Yan Li looked at Dong Xuan, whose face looked amiss, and put his arm around her waist and kissed her.

"Ignore her. She's talking about 'A World Without Thieves' and trying to sow discord."

"Why does every woman want to sow discord?"

Dong Xuan was a little unhappy, but Yan Li said confidently, "If you don't believe me, go ask her. If I say even a single word wrong, you can do whatever you want to me."

Yan Li kicked the ball back, then counterattacked: "By the way, I heard you guys went to visit the set of 'Number One Under Heaven', how was it?"

After hearing this, Dong Xuan felt a little guilty.

Although it feels good to hit Huang Shengyi, it is indeed a bit impulsive and has affected her image to some extent.

She was afraid that the vixen surnamed Huang, or the other people present, would stab her in the back and try to deceive and slander Yan Li.

So, Dong Xuan hesitated for a moment and decided to strike first: "It was originally quite fun, but then I ran into your junior sister, who came up and greeted me for no apparent reason..."

Well, it was Huang Shengyi who caused the trouble, she is innocent.

Not only was he innocent, but he was also calm and restrained, enduring humiliation and taking the other angry people away. Even his invitation to dinner was to appease everyone's emotions.

Dong Xuan's acting skills were a little better than before, and Yan Li almost believed it. Unfortunately, she encountered a system that had just triggered the information in the early morning.

Daily Intelligence ①: Yesterday, Dong Xuan, along with Jiang Xin, Fan Bingbing, and others, intimidated and assaulted Huang Shengyi on the set of "Number One Under Heaven." The specific conversation is as follows...

"Really? That's too much."

Yan Li was furious and picked up the phone: "I'm going to get someone to go to 'Number One Under Heaven' to find her and make her apologize to you."

Dong Xuan was stunned and waved her hands hurriedly: "No, no, I won't bother with her."

"You don't care about it, but I do. My woman can't be bullied by others."

Yan Li shouted into the phone: "Tian Yuan, Tian Ye, call all the brothers, I'll text you the address, yes, bring your weapons too..."

Dong Xuan was really panicked now. If they really confronted each other, not being able to explain things clearly would be a small matter, but if they started fighting and something happened to Yan Li, it would be a big trouble.

"I just lied to you, I didn't suffer any loss..."

Dong Xuan told the truth, and as she spoke, she saw that Yan Li's expression was calm, with no trace of his previous anger and irritability. She was not stupid, and she immediately knew that she had been tricked.

"He bullied people behind my back, brought this group of people out for drinks, and lied to me."

Yan Li enumerated Dong Xuan's "crimes" one by one, and finally crossed his legs and said, "Tell me, how do we solve this problem?"

Dong Xuan knew that without paying a price, the matter could not be resolved. After hesitating for a while, she leaned over and whispered a few words.

Yan Li nodded slightly: "Yes, but not enough."

Dong Xuan gritted her teeth and said a few more words, but Yan Li was still not satisfied: "Not even close."

"Almost got it."

Dong Xuan was anxious: "I didn't hit her or scold her, I just chatted with her. What's your relationship with her? Why are you protecting her so much?"

Yan Licai didn't want to fall into the trap and corrected her, "That matter is not important. What's important is that you lied to me and deceived my feelings."

"So you didn't lie to me?"

Yan Li said confidently: "Don't change the subject, we are talking about your problem now."

Dong Xuan glared at him angrily for a few seconds, then finally relented: "Can I play a game of three fairies fighting Jin Zha with you?"

It’s okay to play with it at home, but it would be too embarrassing if someone found out if you took the costume back to your hotel room while on set.

"Seven times, and I want different fairies."

Dong Xuan wanted to bite him to death: "You really didn't hold your fart in. Have you been thinking about this for a long time?"

Yan Li smiled but said nothing. Dong Xuan thought of an excuse to refuse: "I don't wear costumes that have been worn by others. It's disgusting."

"What a coincidence."

Yan Li had anticipated that using someone else's costumes would be too perverted, and he knew Dong Xuan would resist.

"When I made it before, I was afraid that it wouldn't be enough, so I made a few extra sets as backup. I haven't worn them yet, and they are brand new."

Dong Xuan stepped on her foot in anger, but did not say she disagreed. Yan Li chuckled and suddenly remembered something.

"It seems the Queen Mother also has a new one..."

"Pooh."

Dong Xuan was not satisfied with spitting at Yan Li and wanted to throw the wine at him. Yan Li dodged and explained.

“This one’s really a spare.”

Dong Xuan didn't want to pay attention to him and left Yan Li to sing with Jiang Xin and the others.

Yan Li was just about to go through today's daily intelligence again when Fatty Fan came over with a gloomy voice.

"I just heard something about the Queen Mother. What were they talking about?"

Yan Li's expression remained unchanged: "Well, I'm not satisfied with the scene that Queen Mother finished filming, so I plan to change it."

Fat Fan stared at him for a few seconds, didn't see anything unusual, raised his beer and drank with him.

"Boss Yan, it's been a pleasure working with you this time. I'll think of you next time you have a scene."

"Easy to say."

Yan Li nodded readily, chatted for a few words, and then brought up the topic of "A World Without Thieves".

"It's a slip of the tongue, it's a slip of the tongue."

Looking at Fat Fan whose face turned dark, Yan Li pretended to slap his mouth, and then said.

"But then again, there's something fishy going on with your company. 'Cell Phone' was given to Bingbing, and now it's your turn."

"I'm not trying to gossip, but I really feel like your company doesn't value you enough."

"If it were me, I would directly tailor a project for you."

"Oh, that's enough talk. Let's drink."

"..."

Looking at Fat Fan's changing expression, Yan Li took a sip of beer.

If he could really get this 900 millionaire to work for him, he would definitely be a multi-billionaire... a billionaire...
