Chapter 357: Ways to Fight for Resources

The next morning, the two of them lay on Lin Jiang's left and right, breathing evenly and sleeping soundly.

Last night was also a high-intensity battle.

It started at around eight o'clock and lasted until around one in the morning. One person arranged two groups. Although the intensity was a bit high, it was easy to handle.

There was a message from Fang Jie on my phone, saying that she was going to record a song today.

Lin Jiang didn't reply. It was a bit early and he wanted to take a nap.

But the two women didn't care so much. After waking up, they started to do it on their own.

I did morning exercises for both of them, and it was already past 10 o'clock when I finished.

The two of them were lying on the bed in a mess, looking completely unkempt.

Lin Jiang put on his clothes and stood up, saying:

"You two take a break. I'm leaving now. Call me if you have anything else."

"Ah."

After leaving Zhao Fangfei's home, Lin Jiang was about to call Fang Jie, but at this time, the game prompt appeared in his mind.

[Mission Completed (Food Tycoon): Reward: "The Richest Man in Xihong City" script, 500 million cash]

[The script has been sent to your mailbox, please check it]

The mission was judged successful.

Lin Jiang didn't drive away in a hurry, but called Chen Jingxian to find out about the progress.

All 30 stores have been completed and are entering the comprehensive renovation stage, and four of them are even in the final stage.

The two chatted for more than ten minutes, and then Lin Jiang hung up the phone.

I opened my mailbox and the latest email was the script of “The Richest Man in Xihong City”.

Lin Jiang took out his mobile phone and searched on the Internet.

Just like before, all the content and information related to "The Richest Man in Xihong City" disappeared.

I need to talk to Fang Jie about the progress of the filming and then we can start shooting.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiang called Fang Jie.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm recording a song with Xiaowan, what's wrong?"

"The script for the new movie is ready. I'm going to talk to you about it and let the actors in the company try out for the role."

"I'll call them to the company and have them audition. As for the filming, we'll find a place to discuss it in detail."

"That's fine. You decide the place."

"How about going swimming? I haven't gone for a long time."

"That's fine, let's go to the Bay Hotel. I'll ask someone to reserve the venue. It will be quiet this way."

"That's what I meant."

After finishing his business, Lin Jiang hung up the phone and drove to her company.

……

On the other side, Fang Jie was recording a song with Tang Wan.

Because it was the first song released by the company, and it would even have an invisible impact on the box office of the movie, Fang Jie herself attached great importance to it and came with Tang Wan.

"It's really good. I've made great progress compared to last time. My techniques and breathwork have become more mature," said Guo Peng.

"Thank you, Mr. Guo."

"Oh, actually I didn't help you at all. Your boss is really awesome. I heard from Sister Fang that he taught you all this."

Tang Wan recalled the scene of practicing singing before. Mr. Lin was really much better than she had imagined.

It feels like he is an all-round man, nothing can stump him.

"Indeed, our leaders are really great."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries and walked out of the recording studio.

Fang Jie was making a phone call outside. Guo Peng waved at her and Fang Jie nodded. That was considered a greeting between the two.

Guo Peng returned to the recording studio. Tang Wan stood next to Fang Jie and did not dare to disturb her.

When recording the song, Tang Wan knew that it was Lin Jiang who called Fang Jie, but she didn't know what the specific matter was.

Fang Jie walked downstairs while talking on the phone and hung up when she got back to the car.

"You don't have anything else planned for the afternoon, right?" Fang Jie asked.

"No, is there anything else?"

"Boss Lin just called me. The script for the new movie is out. Boss Lin asked me to bring you to the company."

Tang Wan looked surprised, "Boss Lin, are you going to give me a chance?"

"You will definitely have opportunities, but it's not certain what kind of opportunities they will be." Fang Jie said:

"This time we're going there mainly for an audition. You should prepare well and try to get the role of the leading actress."

"understood."

After saying that, Fang Jie called He Wenyi again, and also called several other important actresses in the company over.

Tang Wan thought about it in her mind and realized that the acting skills of the other actors were not as good as hers. As long as she performed normally, there should be no problem.

But He Wenyi is different.

Not only is she a singer, she has also guest-starred in other dramas and her performances were very good, so she is her main competitor.

Tang Wan was feeling nervous, she wasn't sure if she could beat He Wenyi.

Just like that, with a nervous mood, the two of them came to the company together.

When she arrived at Fang Jie's office, Tang Wan discovered that He Wenyi had already arrived, holding a script in her hand, and was discussing the role with Lin Jiang.

But what Tang Wan cared more about was He Wenyi's dress.

She was wearing a pair of black stockings on her legs and a gray skirt that was just long enough to cover her buttocks.

The upper body is a black blouse, which is a close-fitting style that shows the shape of the chest.

And the neckline is very low, and you can even see the grooves squeezed out.

Looking at myself again, I am wearing loose sweatpants, sneakers, a white T-shirt, and a black cotton jacket. This outfit is so ordinary that it cannot be more ordinary.

Look at He Wenyi again, they are completely different.

Obviously the purpose is not pure!
"Mr. Fang."

"Mr. Lin."

He Wenyi and Tang Wan greeted Lin Jiang and Fang Jie respectively.

After greeting each other, Tang Wan and He Wenyi stood together. It was the first time they met, so naturally they had to exchange a few polite words.

The content is also very simple, it's just that I have heard your songs and seen your dramas, it's superficial and a bit exaggerated.

After the two of them finished exchanging greetings, Lin Jiang called Tang Wan over.

"I have prepared the script, you all can take a look and try out the performance later."

"understood."

The two of them went to read the script, and finally two more actresses came over and auditioned with them.

Fang Jie sat opposite Lin Jiang and watched the actors audition with him.

Dangdangdang——

At this time, Fang Jie's secretary pushed open the door, "Mr. Lin, Mr. Fang."

Fang Jie nodded, "What's wrong?"

"Tian Zuoyi said he was a bit busy these days and couldn't come for the audition. I talked to his agent, and his agent asked me, how much is the salary for this film?"

Tian Zuoyi is the leading actor in "Charlotte's Troubles". Although there are plans to find other male actors, he will definitely be considered as the first priority.

"Go do your thing. I'll call his agent later."

"Got it, Mr. Fang."

The secretary left, Fang Jie gave Lin Jiang a look, and the two walked out of the office and went to the meeting room next door.

"How much do you plan to pay this time?"

"The pay for "Charlotte's Troubles" is 80, right?"

Fang Jie nodded, "But after filming 'Charlotte's Troubles', he became very popular in the circle, so giving him 80 is a bit inappropriate."

"About 500 million."

Fang Jie thought about it and felt that the price was reasonable.

Whether it is Tang Wan or Tian Zuoyi, they can achieve what they have today thanks to the good scripts.

Considering his fame, a salary of 500 million is quite generous. After all, good scripts are hard to come by now, and some people would rather not get paid than to star in a good play. In this sense, 500 million is not too little.

Holding the phone, Fang Jie dialed Tian Zuoyi's agent and turned on the amplifier at the same time.

"Mr. Tian."

Tian Zuoyi's agent, named Wei Haiming, is also a veteran in the circle.

"There is a play about to be released. When will Tian Zuoyi have time to come for an audition?" Fang Jie said directly.

"He has several activities recently and has been busy with announcements. His schedule may not be compatible, so he may be delayed for a few days."

Wei Haiming said with a smile:

"Mr. Fang, I'd like to ask, how much can you give me for this film?"

"500."

"Mr. Fang, you are such a joke. 'Charlotte's Troubles' has been a hit, with a guaranteed 30 billion, or even 40 billion. You only gave 500 million at the box office. Isn't that a little too little?"

Fang Jie glanced at Lin Jiang, and Lin Jiang raised his chin, signaling for the other party to continue.

"How much pay do you want?" Fang Jie asked.

"Our current offer is 2500 million, which has to be higher, but we have worked together before, so there must be a discount. 2000 million will be fine."

If the other party asked for an extra one or two million, or even offered a price under 1000 million, Fang Jie would not think it would be a big problem.

But the starting price is 2000 million, and it is a so-called friendly price, which is a bit too much.

“Can’t it be cheaper?”

"Mr. Fang, it's already 500 million cheaper. This is a friendly price. Now several books have come to us, and the price is 2500 million..."

Lin Jiang shook his head slightly, and Fang Jie understood what he meant.

"Well, we'll talk again when we have a chance."

"Mr. Fang, you should also consider this. Considering Xiaotian's current status, 2000 million is really not expensive."

“It’s not expensive, but it’s a bit beyond the cost.”

"Mr. Fang, stop joking. With the popularity of Charlotte's Troubles, the box office revenue is at least over 10 billion. How could the budget be limited?"

Seeing that Lin Jiang looked a little impatient, Fang Jie hurriedly ended the conversation.

"I'll think about it, we can talk again when we have time."

"it is good."

Fang Jie hung up the phone and looked at Lin Jiang.

"Find a few more suitable people, and I'll go there in person for the auditions."

"Okay, I'll arrange this as soon as possible."

"We have to learn our lesson this time. If we find a suitable person, we should sign him directly. If there is someone who is not very successful, we should replace him," said Lin Jiang.

"Ah."

“Is it difficult to find actors?”

"No." Fang Jie said:

"With the popularity of 'Charlotte's Troubles', we have a say in the industry. There are many people who want to work with us, and it is not a big problem to find a suitable actor."

"That's good."

After talking about Tian Zuoyi, the two returned to the office.

Fang Jie also realized how correct Lin Jiang's decision was.

Even though Tang Wan is performing well now, we can't put all our hopes on her alone.

Several people were reading the script seriously, chatting occasionally.

"How are the preparations going?" Fang Jie asked.

Everyone looked at each other, and it seemed that everyone was almost ready.

"If it's okay, Tang Wan, you can go first and set an example for them."

"Ah."

Tang Wan stood up, cleared her throat, and began her performance.

What Lin Jiang and Fang Jie didn't expect was that in such a short time, she had even memorized her lines and her attitude was very good.

After Tang Wan finished, it was He Wenyi and two other actors who tried out several different roles.

The performances are all remarkable, but Tang Wan's overall performance is better. As for the others, they can be given other roles and have their faces show up in the movie.

"Today's audition ends here. If there are any changes later, I will notify you."

"Got it, Mr. Fang."

Everyone else left, but Tang Wan and He Wenyi stayed.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Feng has arranged a music variety show for me, but I'm not very satisfied with my condition. I would like to ask you some questions, is that okay?" He Wenyi said.

"Then you guys chat here first, I'll go take care of some other things." Fang Jie interrupted.

Lin Jiang nodded and Fang Jie left the office.

Tang Wan looked left and right.

Lin Jiang taught He Wenyi how to sing. This was a great learning opportunity and she didn't want to miss it.

But at this moment, she wanted to talk to Fang Jie again. After thinking it over, Tang Wan chose the latter.

"Mr. Lin, I'm going out first." Tang Wan pointed to the door and said in a low voice.

Lin Jiang nodded.

Quietly, Tang Wan took the script and left the office.

But when he went out, he looked back and found that He Wenyi's body was almost sticking to Lin Jiang's.

I kept complaining in my mind.

So disgusting!
After leaving the office, Tang Wan looked around and saw Fang Jie went to the office to make a phone call, so she quietly walked in.

Sitting next to her, Tang Wan did not disturb Fang Jie and waited for her call.

With nothing to do, Tang Wan was reading the script and listening to Fang Jie talking on the phone.

Found her calling to find a male actor.

I couldn't help but wonder in my heart, isn't this play going to invite Tian Zuo to perform charity performance?
suddenly!

A strong sense of crisis arose in Tang Wan's heart.

If even Tian Zuoyi could be replaced, it was very likely that he would suffer the same treatment.

The more Tang Wan thought about it, the more panicked she became. She didn't even have the heart to read the script.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Fang Jie finished the call and looked at Tang Wan.

"Is something wrong?"

Looking at Fang Jie anxiously, Tang Wan asked tentatively:
"Mr. Fang, how was my performance just now?"

"It's fine, what's wrong?"

“So is there any chance of getting this role?”

Fang Jie shrugged. "It's hard for me to say. It depends on how Mr. Lin arranges it. After all, he wrote the script, so they must have the most suitable heroine in mind."

"So who do you think performed better, me or Wen Yi?"

"In my opinion, you performed better." Fang Jie said.

"So does that mean I have a high chance of getting this role?"

"It's hard to say." Fang Jie said:

"First of all, you have to act in a way that pleases Mr. Lin. After all, he wrote the script. Whoever best fits his idea will get the role."

"So that's it..."

Fang Jie smiled and said, "Calm down. As long as you work hard, Mr. Lin will not treat you unfairly."

"Then besides today's audition, can I try again?"

Tang Wan was a little anxious. Looking at He Wenyi's expression, it was obvious that she wanted to get more company resources through improper means.

If I don't try hard, she will take away my resources.

"If I try hard..." Fang Jie thought for a moment and said:
"I can't say for sure. It depends on you."

Tang Wan also thought about it and said, "Then I'll treat Mr. Lin to dinner tonight?"

"Your brain." Fang Jie said with a smile.
"Don't you know what Mr. Lin is? He has eaten everything. You might as well cook for yourself to show your sincerity."

Tang Wan's eyes lit up.

"Then I'll cook a meal for Mr. Lin tonight."
