"I've finished what I'm saying."

"Who is in favor and who is against?"

Zhang Yuan supported himself on the long table with both hands and uttered these ten words steadily.

At the same time, his eyes swept over everyone present.

Even Brother Qian, who was "wearing the same underwear" with him, couldn't help but get goose bumps.

"This kid is always smiling when things are peaceful, but he is really scary when things happen."

The rest of the people present all avoided his gaze.

Everyone felt that Zhang Yuan's eyes were like a leopard at this moment, as if he was waiting for the person who opposed him to appear, so that he could pounce on the other person and bite that person's throat.

Wu De, the one who just spoke out, has "voluntarily withdrawn from the society".

Who dares to oppose now?

Many people also noticed that Zhang Yuan’s female assistant had not returned since her break.

This is to "deal with" Wu De.

They were right. Zhang Yuan would not trust any outsider, so they asked Zhao Xinxin to "escort" him personally and watch him get on the bus back to Tianjin.

The meeting room was as quiet as an intern seeing his pay slip.

Silence is their last stubbornness.

These people thought that they were here today to talk nonsense, present facts and reason, and to overwhelm Zhang Yuan with eloquence.

But Zhang Yuan started with a big slap in the face, which made them lose their direction.

After he finished speaking, the room was silent for about a minute, and no one spoke.

In the end, it has to be our own people.

"Although I am just a small actor in the club, I have no right to express my opinions." Brother Qian said leisurely.

The others looked up and smacked their lips.

Now, more than 80% of the people who come to Deyuan Society are here to see Guo and Yu.

Brother Qian said that he is not qualified to express his opinion, so the rest of them are even less qualified!
"Like Zhang Yuan said, we should give young people more opportunities."

"Brother Qian is right." At this moment, Guo Degang also hurriedly spoke.

"I think this kid still has his own shining points."

"Everyone, I don't know if that cloud brings rain. It's not a big deal if you fail on stage the first time. Just try a few more times."

He was originally hesitating between firing him or not, but seeing the situation now, he definitely couldn't fire him.

Zhang Yuan made it clear that if the people he brought with him were expelled, the society would at best split apart, at worst be over.

From the way he had just driven people away, Lao Guo had already seen that his junior brother was definitely capable of flipping the table and saying, "If it's difficult, then don't do it."

He felt that he had underestimated Zhang Yuan.

"Brother, you're right." When Zhang Yuan saw him speak, he changed his serious expression and smiled again.

"Since everyone has reached a consensus, let's end this topic here."

Most people lowered their heads, looking depressed.

Ever since Zhang Yuan entered the room, he has been suppressing everyone, and everyone naturally feels uncomfortable.

Brother Qian also noticed this atmosphere and was worried that Zhang Yuan’s methods were too tough, which might cause backlash in the future.

He frowned, wondering if he should say a few more words to help ease the atmosphere.

But at this moment, Zhang Yuan clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention and spoke at the same time.

"This matter has been resolved. I have one more thing to say."

Who else do you want to deal with?

This is everyone's first reaction.

After what happened just now, people are now in panic.

Even Lao Guo's heart trembled. Please don't target my two little apprentices.

Jinzi and Xiaowei, who were standing aside, were trembling.

Zhang Yuan continued.

"I talked about Harry Potter in Guangde Building a while ago. I wonder if you still remember it or know about it."

Half of the people present knew, and half of the newcomers didn’t.

"Now Warner Bros., the producer of the Harry Potter film series, has contacted me and asked me to tell the book for them."

“This is used as an offline promotional tool for the film.”

“I’ve signed a contract with them.”

"Next, I will arrange a time with my senior brother, Mr. Guo, to tell stories in Guangde Building."

"Warner will send people to record and videotape the event, and the copyright will belong to them, but the ticket sales on site will be within our agency."

"And I have already agreed with them that the Deyuan Society's advertisement and the addresses of Guangde Building and Zhang Yiyuan Branch will be displayed on the site."

"So, before Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire is released at the end of the year, our club will collaborate with the movie."

"I believe that cooperating with such a large foreign film and television company should have a good publicity effect."

"Brother, even though we just opened a new branch during the Chinese New Year."

"But I think we can prepare for the second branch."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere, which had been extremely depressing just now, instantly exploded like a streak of thunder before a summer rain shower, detonating the entire audience.

For a moment, the discussions echoed in the house like a torrential rain.

"Harry Potter!"

"Warner Bros. is one of the top ten film and television companies in the world. It's incredible!"

"My children love watching this movie. How many young people will it attract?"

"If we cooperate with them, our tickets will be sold like crazy!"

And everyone understands that the key to the problem is not cooperating with Warner.

But Zhang Yuan is qualified to cooperate with Warner.

That means he has an overwhelming advantage in external resources.

Most of the team members, who were originally restrained, cautious, and even a little fearful, now looked at him ingratiatingly like pet cats and dogs seeking food.

They understand that to make big money, they have to look to this person!

Teacher Guo also smiled.

This is a great opportunity. If we can use it to boost the popularity of Deyuan Society, it will be just like what Zhang Yuan said.

The second branch is just around the corner!
The inner entanglement just now was completely resolved at this moment.

"Ha." Brother Qian took out a cigarette and smiled, nodded at him and threw it to him.

He has to be my brother!

This trick of giving a sweet reward after a hit is really well done!
First kill the chicken to scare the monkey and dampen everyone's enthusiasm.

Let's join together to boost everyone's morale.

After all this going on, is there anyone who still wouldn't be convinced?

Just like black groups, shouting and killing is a means, and making money together is the goal.

If a big brother only knows how to suppress his subordinates, he will be overthrown sooner or later.

Only if you let your brothers drink soup and eat meat will they be willing to follow you.

Rules in one hand and purse in the other, this is the way to rule.

"I was just worried."

"Now it seems that he doesn't need my help to talk to these people. He can make them obey him completely."

"Well, since there is a happy event, I will invite everyone to have lunch at Hongbinlou later in the afternoon. I will be the host."

"it is good!"

"As expected of a disciple of a noble family, so generous."

"What a noble family style."

"I told you long ago that Yue Longgang would definitely be able to do it. How could the guy picked by my brother Zhang Yuan not be able to do it..."

At this point, these guys who made a living by talking changed their previous attitudes and started praising him.

As for Wu De who was "driven away" before?

We don't know who he is.

It has long been forgotten!
This is the result of not having the ability but still taking sides and being the first to stand out.

Everyone surrounded Zhang Yuan and walked out of the house.

Outside the room, Lao Guo's wife Wang Hui was cleaning the actors' gowns.

Seeing that everyone was smiling and surrounding Zhang Yuan, they looked very puzzled.

"Sister-in-law, I haven't seen you for a while." Zhang Yuan walked up and held the other's fat hand.

"Yes, brother, I haven't seen you for a while. You look energetic again." Wang Hui replied with a smile.

"The person I brought here is useless. Thank you for your trouble."

Wang Hui glanced at everyone, then at the smiling Old Guo, and knew what was going on.

"It doesn't matter whether it's a big deal or not, it's what we should do as people."

"I feel relieved with your words. If there is such a big event in the company next time, please remember to inform me."

"No matter how busy I am, I can always find time to participate." Zhang Yuan patted the other person's hand, looking extremely enthusiastic.

The other party's face froze, and then he responded with a smile.

When Brother Qian saw the internal struggle between Zhang Yuan and Lao Guo’s wife, he thought that Zhang Yuan was an actor after all and his acting skills were really great.

"Brother, come to my house for dinner when you have a chance." Wang Hui took his hand.

"Yes, yes, yes, your sister-in-law is very good at stewing fish, you must come and try it." Lao Guo also stepped forward and said.

"Of course, I will definitely go!" Zhang Yuan, who was as close to the two as a family, promised.

As they were talking, Zhang Yuan caught a glimpse of a little fat head in the corner looking at them furtively.

Zhang Yuan raised his hand: "Come here!"

He shouted loudly, scaring everyone who was originally happy.

At the same time, the little fat man was also scared.

Yue Longgang walked up to him shyly, lowered his head, and stood in front of him.

"I didn't bring you here to just eat."

"Next time someone tells me that you are not presentable and don't study hard, humph!"

Zhang Yuan raised his arms suddenly.

Xiao Yue quickly hugged his head.

Snapped!
A violent palm strike was heard, and everyone's eyes flashed as they looked at the little fat man.

Yue Long was so frightened that he was shaking all over. It took him a long time to realize that he was not beaten.

Everyone turned their eyes to Zhang Yuan's palm. He had already withdrawn his hand, but a slightly concave palm print appeared on the white wall beside him.

This palm didn't seem to hit the wall.

It seemed like a slap in the face of Xiao Yue and the others.

Those people who had been flattering him just now have now become quiet.

"Jinzi, come here!" Zhang Yuan waved his hand and called the tall and thin apprentice that Lao Guo had just accepted to come in front of him.

Jinzi was also trembling. He had just been in the conference room the whole time and had witnessed Zhang Yuan's brutality.

When he saw the palm prints on the wall, he became even more frightened.

"Starting tomorrow, you will help me supervise his practice."

"It's worth beating and scolding."

"You are welcome."

"Hey, uncle master, I understand." The boy quickly agreed.

"He has made progress. I will give you a reward."

"Hey, hey..." Jinzi nodded continuously.

He didn't want any reward, just to avoid being beaten.

Zhang Yuan deliberately asked this man to bring Xiao Yue with him, and he also wanted to find an opportunity to reward him.

After all, I'll be able to use him in the future.

To check and balance the Deyuan Society, one person alone cannot be relied upon, he needs to lay more lines.

"Let's go eat!"

"Yes, let's go..."

Everyone came back to their senses and walked towards Hongbin Building with a smile on their faces.

The protagonist of this meal was naturally Zhang Yuan. A group of "employees" came to toast him one after another. Their attitude towards him was more polite than that towards the old Guo couple who hired them.

"Brother, I didn't expect that I would be useless." Brother Qian said, holding up his wine glass.

"Why not?" Zhang Yuan also raised his glass: "Drink with me, that's where you can come in handy."

"Hey hey hey..."

Halfway through the meal, Zhao Xinxin also came to the restaurant.

"Brother Zhang Yuan, the person has been sent away."

Swish!
The table fell silent instantly, as everyone knew who the gift was for.

"Okay, let's sit down and eat together. Do you know how to drink?"

"Not really." The girl told the truth.

"Practice."

"Ah."

She is not good at it, but she is obedient.

We ate until two or three o'clock.

If there wasn't a performance in the afternoon, no one would be willing to leave.

"Brother Zhang Yuan, you are so awesome. You made them all obey you in no time." Zhao Xinxin said in the taxi on the way back.

This was her first time working with Zhang Yuan, and she witnessed the boss's skills.

"There will be many more such things in the future, you'll just get used to it." Zhang Yuan replied lightly.

"But I spent a lot of money on that bastard's dinner."

Zhao Xunxun thought of Wu De’s lustful look as he came towards her just because she beckoned her finger.

Then she thought about how she almost got naked, but Zhang Yuan didn't do anything.

I feel even more that my boss has incredible self-control.

"This amount of money is a lot for ordinary people, but it is actually very little for handling things."

"Anything that can be solved with money is not a big deal."

"It's troublesome if you can't spend money on it."

Zhao Xinxin didn't understand, but she listened carefully and learned.

"Have you signed up for the driving school?"

"Reported."

"Well, I'll go out to film in a few days, and when I come back, I'll buy you a car after you finish your studies."

"Got it." The girl spoke straightforwardly and concisely. Zhang Yuan quite liked her attitude.

The two returned to the courtyard to rest.

On the other side, in a villa in the suburbs of the imperial capital.

"Xixi, why are you in such a good mood today?"

Seeing her daughter beaming with joy and jumping around, Liu Xiaoli asked in confusion.

Liu Qianqian, who was playing with the dog, raised her head.

"Mom, Zhang Yuan called me and told me that he has cooperated with Warner Bros. and can tell the complete set of Harry Potter storytelling."

That night in Jiuzhaigou, Zhang Yuan promised her that he would finish.

Of course, he just said it casually at the time and didn't make any specific plans.

Who would have thought that I would be promoted to a regular employee by chance.

But in Sissi's eyes, this was proof that he kept his promise to her.

"Oh, storytelling..." Liu Xiaoli recalled the time when her daughter secretly watched a CD and she mistook it for a pornographic film.

"Wait, Warner!" Liu Xiaoli suddenly reacted.

"correct."

"It's not Huayi, it's Warner?"

"Yeah." Liu Qianqian nodded.

"How did he get involved with a big foreign film and television company..." Liu Xiaoli was puzzled.

After all, her and Boss Chen's plan for Xixi was to start transforming the company towards internationalization.

This will cost a lot of resources.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Yuan was faster than them and contacted the foreign company first.

Boss Chen already has a lot of overseas resources. People of Aunt Liu's generation have a natural filter for foreign countries. This is a characteristic of the times.

Anyone who lives in that era and faces the huge gap between China and overseas will also have a filter.

In addition, Sissi is from the Lighthouse region, so she has certain advantages in taking the international route.

And the most important thing is that Aunt Liu and Boss Chen have agreed that their daughter can no longer film TV series.

Especially the scene with the bearded man, which was hard and tiring. Not only did he lose money, but his daughter also suffered from a lot of health problems.

They hope that Sissi can become an international Chinese actress like Gong Li or Zhang Ziyi.

After all, the foreign market is huge, and after being gilded, Boss Chen can take on more high-level endorsements in China and earn more.

If you want to become an international actress, you have to work with top directors.

The big directors who don’t make TV series are all big movie stars.

Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi also became famous thanks to Zhang Yimou.

From this point of view, there is actually no major problem with the plan of Liu Xiaoli and Boss Chen.

But the premise is that everything goes well.

When people are going well, they always think that things will continue to go well.

This is also one of the weaknesses of human nature.

"How did he get in touch with Warner?" Aunt Liu thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so she asked.

"I don't know." Sissi didn't care at all.

She just knew that she was very happy because she had books to listen to.

"By the way, between you and him..." Liu Xiaoli recalled the night when she was eavesdropping behind a tree.

"What, what's the matter?" Liu Qianqian suddenly stuttered.

"Did anything happen to you two?" Liu Xiaoli asked with narrowed eyes, "You can tell your mother anything that's on your mind."

"We're fine..." She replied guiltily.

"Xixi, Zhang Yuan is... a good person and very motivated." Aunt Liu said seriously.

"But he's not a good guy in the traditional sense."

"I'm afraid you'll get hurt." She warned gently.

After a long silence, Liu Qianqian spoke slowly.

"Mom, is Dad a good man?"

"This..." Liu Xiaoli was speechless for a moment.

After spending a long time with that boy, my daughter has become sharp-tongued.

"Oh..." Aunt Liu sighed.

Lao An is definitely a good person. He was good-looking when he was young, had a good family background, and his personal abilities were absolutely first-rate.

But it is true that a good person is not necessarily the right person.

The two separated mainly because of their different philosophies on life and work.

Simply put, some of our values ​​are not in line with each other.

A woman like Liu Xiaoli, who looks gentle but has a strong character and a high spirit, is indeed difficult for men to hold.

"Your father is fine."

"But you also broke up." Liu Qianqian continued softly: "Whether you are happy together or not has nothing to do with whether you are a good person or not."

Then she pointed to her neck and said, "I will get hurt while filming, but I won't stop filming because of this."

"And I'm not afraid of getting hurt or feeling pain."

"But..." Liu Xiaoli wanted to say something, but Xixi spoke with a smile.

"Mom, have you noticed that since I mentioned once that I don't like eggplant, eggplant has never appeared in the crew's meals again."

Although she didn't say it, she knew it.

Liu Xiaoli recalled for a moment and then nodded slightly.

The topic came to an end, and Aunt Liu looked helplessly at her daughter who was teasing a purebred Husky.

She was thinking, if the Husky took the initiative to go with someone, would there be any way to bring it back...

A few days later, Zhang Yuan took a plane and then a long-distance bus and arrived at a quiet town somewhere in Guizhou.

Here, a simple filming team is carrying out preparations before starting filming.

The movie they are about to shoot is called "Qinghong"... (End of this chapter)
