The Quiet Rise of Entertainment Superstars

Xiaoyue decided to ask Zhou Lei, the director of the Film and Television Department, about this special effects production team first. After all, he is in contact with film and television every day and should have some connections in this area.

As a result, as soon as I arrived at the 13th floor, I ran into Wu Hao, whom I hadn't seen for two days.

Seeing him carrying a box, Xiaoyue's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that this guy had resigned?

Before Xiaoyue asked, Wu Hao gave her the answer.

"Director Cheng, I resigned. I'm busy with things over there every day and have no time to come to work. I've been absent for more than ten days."

What else can Xiaoyue say? He is doing this for Yuexiang Entertainment.

"Okay, come to me if you have any questions."

Just as Xiao Yue was about to leave, Wu Hao called her back: "Director Cheng, what are you doing in the Film and Television Department?"

"Well, go ask Minister Zhou about the special effects team."

Xiaoyue did not hide it either, he would know sooner or later.

"Does our new movie need a special effects team?"

Wu Hao's eyes suddenly lit up. He had finally waited for Director Cheng, no, it should be President Cheng's new movie.

This requires a special effects team, a 100% big production!

"Can I follow along?"

"also."

Wu Hao quickly left the box with his former colleague and followed Xiaoyue to find Zhou Lei.

"Director Cheng, what brings you here?"

Zhou Lei greeted Xiaoyue warmly, and when he saw Wu Hao behind her, he immediately understood.

It turns out that this guy resigned to find another job!

He had previously refused to reveal the reason for his resignation, so Zhou Lei had some guesses, and now he is even more certain!

"Minister Zhou, please stop making fun of me on purpose. I have something to ask of you." Xiao Yue knew that Zhou Lei was joking, so she directly stated the purpose of her visit.

"Whatever it is, I will help if I can."

Zhou Lei thought, even if I can’t help, the president is still here!

"I want to make a science fiction movie, but I need to find a special effects team. I don't know anyone in this field, and I thought you must know more about film and television, so I asked for advice. If you can give me a suitable introduction, that would be even better, haha..."

Xiaoyue just laughed dryly in the end. She finally understood how difficult it was to force a smile when someone asked her to write a song for her.

"You're preparing for a new movie while 'Phone Booth' is still showing?"

Zhou Lei didn't expect that Xiaoyue would start a new movie so soon. This was almost a seamless transition.

"Yes, because it is a science fiction movie, the special effects team is very important."

"In fact, Tianyu has a special effects team, but they are busy with "Snow Mountain Flying Fox" recently. The special effects teams outside are basically in the Beijing Industrial Park, and I am not familiar with them. If you want to find a cooperative team, you need to look there."

Zhou Lei told the truth that there was no need for him to go to Tianyu in person, as everything was delivered to his door.

"Okay then, sorry to bother you. We'll take our leave first!" Xiao Yue took Wu Hao and left.

Zhou Lei felt that he shouldn't have spoken like that just now and should find a few special effects teams for her.

No, this matter must be reported to the president.

Xiaoyue and Wu Hao walked out of Tianyu together.

"Boss Cheng, why don't we go to the industrial park together? There is a technology park over there, and all the high-end special effects are there. If I had known you were going to ask Minister Zhou this, you might as well have asked me. I have been to a few of them with my dad before."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"You didn't ask me! I still don't know what our next movie will be called or how much it will cost..."

Wu Hao felt a little resentful. He had asked her many times before, but she didn't say anything. Now we have to find the special effects team, but she still doesn't say anything.

"The next movie is called Avatar, a science fiction movie, and it will cost about 2 billion yuan."

"Two billion?"

Wu Hao was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped. This was not a big production at all, it was a massive one.

The highest investment in any big production shot by his father Wu Yang was only 500 million!

"Don't be so surprised. You've been following me for almost two months, and you haven't made any progress?"

"I have improved a lot. Now I am calm when I see tens of millions! Yours is 2 billion, not 200,000 or 20 million."

"Okay, let's take a taxi!"

Xiaoyue feels that she might have to worry a lot about "Avatar".

However, since you are planning to shoot it, you have to shoot it well.

The two drove to the Science and Technology Park in the industrial park.

There is a very small company on the second floor of Building 3 in the Science and Technology Park. I say it is small because it is only 150 square meters, filled with computers and other equipment, and more than 30 people squeezed in.

"Brother Feng, we are now taking on small productions, earning tens of thousands each time. If this continues, after deducting the salary, we won't even be able to pay the rent for this house."

"I know." Chen Feng frowned, took out the cigarette box, found it was empty, and punched the back of the sofa in anger.

"However, we should apologize to Xinghui. Otherwise, no crew will dare to cooperate with us, unless it is Tianyu, which Xinghui dare not offend. However, I heard that Tianyu and Xinghui are now cooperating to shoot the animated film "Snow White."

The person who spoke was a young man with a childish face. He was at most just an adult, so he dared to say anything.

"You don't understand. Some things can't be solved by an apology."

Just then, a girl hurried into the company and saw Chen Feng with a happy look on his face.

"Xiaolu, what's up?"

Chen Feng couldn't think of what good news could make Xiaolu so happy.

"A friend of mine from Tianyu just now said that she heard that Tianyu was looking for a special effects team, and it seems that they are coming to our Science Park now."

"Really?" Chen Feng stood up from the sofa, a little excited. He didn't want to miss any opportunity now.

"Really, my friend saw them get on the bus with his own eyes."

Without saying a word, Chen Feng ran towards the gate of the Science and Technology Park. The three buildings were not far from the gate, less than a hundred meters away. Chen Feng took a picture of the gate of the Science and Technology Park in just seven or eight seconds.

Normally there are very few people walking around in the Science and Technology Park. Now the gate is empty, with no one in sight.

The deer followed breathlessly and saw Chen Feng standing in the middle of the gate, blocking the way, motionless.

"Oh, I'm so tired, Brother Feng, please don't stand here. If someone doesn't know you, they might think you're robbing someone on the road..."

Xiaolu stood in front of Chen Feng, panting, and tried to persuade him.

At this time, a taxi stopped at the gate.

Chen Feng immediately went forward and helped open the car door.

Xiaoyue was surprised. She had just arrived and someone helped to open the car door. Could it be that the security guard at the entrance of the Science and Technology Park also provided this service?

Xiaoyue and Wu Hao paid and got out of the car. Only then did they see clearly that the person who helped open the car door was a young man in his twenties, wearing black-framed glasses and casual clothes. He was obviously not a security guard. Could they have recognized the wrong person?

"Hello, are you from Tianyu looking for the special effects team?" Chen Feng shamelessly walked up to Xiaoyue and Wu Hao and asked.

"How did you know?"

Wu Hao was a little surprised, but at the same time, he felt that the man looked familiar.

"Never mind how I know this, are you guys?"

Chen Feng's mental state was a little bit off at the moment, he was rushing forward regardless of the consequences.

"Yes, we are. May I ask who you are?"

Xiaoyue could see that Chen Feng seemed a little abnormal, but he still answered the questions honestly.

"I'm Chen Feng, the captain of the Lightning Special Effects Team. If you want to find a special effects team, I think we at Lightning are definitely suitable."

"You said you are Chen Feng, the captain of Lightning? I was wondering why you look familiar to me. Two years ago, my dad and I came to your place. At that time, you refused to cooperate with my dad."

Wu Hao finally recalled his forgotten memories. It turned out that they had met each other once before. Lightning was very famous, but he hadn't heard any news about him in the past year.

Chen Feng didn't expect to meet someone who knew him, and he couldn't tell whether he was an enemy or a friend.

Xiaoyue finally understood. This lightning special effects team is very famous. The fact that they were able to reject others at that time showed that they are really capable.

"How about we go in and talk in detail?"

Xiaoyue felt that it was inappropriate for the four of them to talk while standing at the gate.

"Okay, okay. Please follow me." Chen Feng didn't expect Xiaoyue to give him a chance, so he hurriedly led the way enthusiastically.

When Xiaoyue followed Chen Feng into his company, she found that his company was actually very small, with more than thirty people crowded together. All she could hear were the sounds of hands typing on the keyboard and moving the mouse.

"Sorry, the place is a little small. Please take a seat."

Chen Feng said awkwardly, pointing to the only double sofa in the company.

Xiao Yue pulled Wu Hao to sit down and thought, it seems that Lightning hasn't been developing well recently, otherwise Captain Chen Feng wouldn't have intercepted people at the gate to solicit orders.

Wu Hao was even more surprised. Two years ago, the famous Lightning had a very large office with luxurious decoration. How come it became like this?

"Can I ask Lightning what happened to become like this?"

Chen Feng sighed and said, "I had some conflicts with Xinghui, and then no one dared to give us orders, and it turned out like this. This is all my fault, but my brothers still stick with me."

At the end of his speech, Chen Feng's eyes actually turned red. He didn't know when everyone else stopped what they were doing, stood up silently, and looked at Xiaoyue and Wu Hao with hope in their eyes.

Xiaoyue finally understood. Although she didn't know what had happened, she knew that they had offended someone and their situation was such that no one dared to take orders for them.

"I don't know much about your feud, but I'm fine with expressing my opinion. I'm here because there's a movie that needs a special effects team, and it has to be a very skilled team."

Xiaoyue looked at everyone and said to Chen Feng.

Chen Feng's eyes lit up with confidence, and he said, "I can guarantee that our Lightning technology is second to none in the Science and Technology Park. I don't know where we will rank outside the Science and Technology Park, because big companies like Tianyu have their own special effects teams. Can I ask how much you invested in your movie?"

"Two billion."

For a moment, more than thirty people opened their mouths in shock.

Wu Hao was secretly delighted, finally he was not the only one who was shocked and embarrassed.
