Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

The opening ceremony was jointly hosted by the three major investors, producers, and directors, so all those standing on the podium at this time were senior executives of the crew.

Li Shuo's voice in the audience was very loud and everyone heard it, but it was useless. Many people thought that this guy was crazy. At this time, he was still making trouble?

Ding Zhihui strode forward and tried to hold Li Shuo back: "Hey, what are you doing!"

Fu Chengguo originally did not take Li Shuo seriously, a small translator, and he easily killed the character.

But Li Shuo "jumped" out at this time. Fu Chengguo looked at his handsome appearance and suddenly thought of Qiu Cixian, whom he was eagerly pursuing, and how she was enjoying herself under this guy. He immediately said angrily: "Where are the security guards? Come and kick this guy who is disturbing the order out!"

Without waiting for the security guards to make a move, Lu Xiping suddenly stood up and greeted him with a smile: "Welcome Mr. Li to the crew, we have finally waited for you to come..."

"what?"

"Mr. Li?"

"This……"

There was an instant uproar on and off the stage. Qiu Cixian, who was holding Li Shuo's hand, was also confused: Li Jiulin is President Li?

Fu Chengguo frowned deeply, vaguely realizing that something was wrong.

Chen Xiaoqi suddenly thought of something: since she can "go incognito", why can't others do it?

She looked at Li Shuo and asked directly, "Are you the representative producer of Shuoguo Culture?"

Lu Xiping smiled slightly, bowed and pointed at Li Shuo and said, "Let me introduce to you all, this is the representative producer sent by Shuoguo Culture to the crew: Mr. Li Jiulin!"

Although he said this, he was actually complaining in his heart: When you peel off the skin of "little translator", you will see the executive Li Jiulin, but the people in the crew probably couldn't imagine that behind Li Jiulin there is a "Li Shuo". Wow, rich people really know how to have fun!

As Lu Xiping introduced him, Li Shuo walked onto the stage holding Qiu Cixian's small hand. He could feel that Qiu Cixian was struggling at first, and then became a little stiff. At this time, her small hand softened and seemed to hold Li Shuo's hand tightly in return: this seemed to be a subtle psychological change of Qiu Cixian.

"Hello, Producer Chen..."

Li Shuo extended his hand to Chen Xiaoqi, and without much politeness, he went straight to the point: "I don't agree to change the heroine! The reason why Fu Chengguo changed the heroine is obvious to everyone. If the crew changes the heroine for this reason, then Shuoguo Culture will withdraw from the cooperation. At the same time, SN, which is led by Shuoguo Culture, will also withdraw from the cooperation with the crew!"

Since the identity of "Li Jiulin" was exposed, Fu Chengguo was in shock. He was not afraid of Chen Xiaoqi because he was also a shareholder of Spreadtrum. He could not blame the shareholders for his own company's people! But Li Jiulin was different, especially...

The next moment, Li Shuo took out a card and handed it to Chen Xiaoqi: "This is the crew card that Director Wu Bing gave me last night. At that time, he told me to use it to build a relationship with Miss Qiu Cixian. It would be best if I could gain Miss Qiu's trust and arrange a dinner for her and Fu Chengguo!"

After saying that, he looked at Wu Bing fiercely, "Director Wu, I want to ask, are you Fu Chengguo's henchman? Or are you the crew's pimp? Qiu Cixian has not even joined the crew, but she has already started to enjoy treatment far beyond that of the heroine. Who gave this order?"

There was total silence in the audience, and everyone stared at the stage with wide eyes. The way Li Shuo was ordering people around seemed to them to be full of infinite majesty, and no one dared to respond!

There was an awkward moment on the stage. Even Chen Xiaoqi didn't know how to respond: What Li Shuo did was equivalent to directly exposing the unspoken rules under the table, which was not a good thing for Spreadtrum!

After about 1 or 2 minutes, Chen Xiaoqi whispered, "Producer Li, the replacement of the leading actress was only proposed by Producer Fu. Since you object, I don't think there is a rush to change it..."

Li Shuo interrupted, "It has to remain unchanged! The crew is about to start filming. Are you changing the female lead now because you think the money you spent in the early stages wasn't enough?"

He had a strong attitude and naturally understood the hidden meaning of Chen Xiaoqi's words. This woman also wanted to find a way out.

As expected, Chen Xiaoqi immediately said, "The leading actress can remain the same, but the issue of the crew's official card..."

Li Shuo frowned, looked directly at her and said, "For those who embezzle public funds, I will directly call the police and bring them to justice!"

Fu Chengguo, who was in the wrong, had been silent the whole time, but now he could not help but flew into a rage and said, "Li Jiulin, don't go too far. I can pretend that the incident with the heroine never happened..."

This is a typical example of a coward: he seemed tough, but he gave up on changing the heroine. As Fu Chengguo spoke, there was an uproar from the audience, mainly Ding Zhihui, who was stunned to see the rapid change on the stage. She was jealous that Qiu Cixian had found a young, handsome and wealthy boyfriend, but the next moment she heard Fu Chengguo decisively give up on her!

Ding Zhihui felt her head buzzing: In order to get this position, she had to suppress her nausea and lick Fu Chengguo's boots...

The huge gap between "kneeling and licking a middle-aged greasy man" and "Qiu Cixian's handsome boyfriend" made Ding Zhihui faint with anger...

"What's going on? Please call medical personnel..."

Director Wu Bing shouted, then ran to the stage, and then quickly ran to find medical staff, actually to avoid Li Shuo's attack.

The other people in the audience followed suit, and soon, only three capital representatives, as well as Lu Xiping, Han Dazhi and others were left on the podium.

At this time, Fu Chengguo put on a stern face, walked to Li Shuo, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Li Jiulin, which department are you in Shuoguo Culture? To be honest, I have some connections with your Shuoguo, Mr. Yang Kangcheng..."

Li Shuo sighed inwardly: This is the world of rich people, they have a wide range of outings, and are full of human relationships and social conventions. Even if you catch them with something serious, they can always find one or two people who have a good relationship with you.

"Sorry, I'm from Mr. Lu's department!" Li Shuo snorted at first, but then his expression softened and he said, "Mr. Fu, on behalf of Shuoguo Culture, I'd like to talk about the next arrangements for the crew..."

"First, professional matters should be left to professionals. The three major financing companies should only interfere with the crew in terms of accounting. The daily operations of the crew should be left to the crew's producer and director!"

Fu Chengguo and Chen Xiaoqi both perked up, knowing that this was Li Shuo negotiating the conditions again. The first condition was considered a common rule for the crew, and the two of them nodded in agreement without hesitation.

"Secondly, the expenses incurred by the crew before filming began will be listed as losses and will be made up by Century Huayue!"

After these words came out, Chen Xiaoqi was still calm, but Fu Chengguo shouted on the spot: "Why?"

Li Shuo retorted: "The public card was given by Wu Bing, and Wu Bing was under the order of your Fu Chengguo! If Century Huayue does not make up for the deficit, then Shuoguo Culture will sue Century Huayue. See you in court!"

Fu Chengguo immediately became insecure: If this matter is taken seriously, he is breaking the law! Moreover, he is only a shareholder in Century Huayue, and the one who suffered the most losses is Zhang Nianhua's Zhang family.

However, he did not agree immediately, but just said: "I need to discuss it with Century Huayue."

Li Shuo nodded: "Okay, but before Century Huayue bears these losses, the crew will temporarily stop, and the losses incurred will be calculated into the previous losses..."

Fu Chengguo gritted his teeth and said, "You are so cruel! Okay, I will agree to it on behalf of Century Huayue Company first!"

"Mr. Fu, don't force it. In fact, in my opinion, Qiu Cixian will be the heroine, and the director Wu Bing will definitely be replaced in the future. If that's the case, why do you have to continue to interfere?"

Li Shuo's words stunned Fu Chengguo: Yes, the purpose of his investment in "The Temptation to Return Home" was to be able to have fun in the crew under his control, but now, with the arrival of Li Jiulin and the heroine has been decided to be Qiu Cixian, what's the point of him staying here?

After thinking for a while, Fu Chengguo asked, "If Century Huayue withdraws now, can the losses be offset?"

“Of course not”

These words were said by Li Shuo and Chen Xiaoqi together. For the benefit of the company, they both naturally wanted Century Huayue to bear the losses.

Fu Chengguo's face darkened, and he asked in a muffled voice, "Is there a third option?"

"Have"

Li Shuo nodded and said, "Third, since the crew has so much cooperation with SN, and all the South Korean staff are provided by them, then in order to ensure the smooth operation of the crew, I suggest opening up part of the investment shares to SN for them to subscribe!"

Fu Chengguo was about to say no, but suddenly thought of the second suggestion. He couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Well, SN organization can come in, but there are not so many shares for it to subscribe. Mr. Han, how about you talk to Century Huayue? Take over its share?"

The second half of the sentence was directed to Han Dazhi.

Han Dazhi naturally said no, and then said, "Let's wait until Century Huayue makes up for the deficit."

Fu Chengguo sneered: "If Century Huayue makes up for the deficit, it will naturally not withdraw from the crew, so how can SN agency intervene?"

The two argued for a while, and finally Chen Xiaoqi mediated and the situation calmed down.

Li Shuo watched this coldly. He knew that his goal of "kicking Century Huayue out of the crew" had actually been achieved.

Century Huayue and Fuchengguo were naturally not like him, with great confidence in "The Temptation of Returning Home". After being tossed around by Chen Xiaoqi and Li Jiulin, it was natural for them to withdraw. Next, all parties would just argue for a while for the sake of each other's interests.

At 2:20 pm, most of the crew gathered again, and the opening ceremony finally began. The ceremony was led by Chen Xiaoqi, who first burned incense, set off firecrackers, then cut the ribbon and gave a speech...

Chen Xiaoqi and Fu Chengguo were not in a good mood and only said a few polite words on the stage.

Li Shuo, as the last speaker, talked about many things:

He first explained the uniqueness of the crew: "…"The Temptation of Returning Home" is a Sino-Korean cooperation project. There are many South Koreans in the crew. In order to understand everyone's needs, I deliberately joined the crew as a translator..."

Then he added: "After spending some time with you, I hope you all understand that if the crew can shoot smoothly and achieve success, then each of you will also be successful..."

After a round of chicken soup, the topic turned to Century Huayue: "... In addition, in view of the deficit of the crew before the start of filming, we have always decided that the deficit will be made up by Century Huayue... I promise that the funding of the crew will be sufficient in the future, and everyone, every day, can get what they deserve..."

Li Shuo's "acting first and reporting later" shocked Fu Chengguo. He almost yelled: Wait, didn't I say I would go back to the company to discuss it? Why did you announce it directly?

But as Li Shuo spoke, the audience suddenly cheered. Fu Chengguo gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger: Forget it, there is no need to stand against everyone. I should go back to Century Huayue to resolve my corruption.

"In addition, the leading actress of the crew will still be Qiu Cixian. The future operation of the crew will be handed over to producer Lu Xiping. The crew will implement a multi-director system, and deputy director Chen Dahai will be the director..."

A series of personnel orders were issued, and everyone present understood instantly: In this game of capital, Shuoguo Culture, headed by Li Jiulin, won! Although he did not mention director Wu Bing, it was obvious that his rights had been completely cut off. In the future, apart from the title of a director, he would probably have nothing left.

Qiu Cixian was also standing in the audience at this time. The only difference was that except Ding Zhihui, all the South Koreans stood beside her. The screenwriter Jin Xizhen also kept praising her, "You have a good eye. I never thought that the young translator next to you would be the investor representative of Shuoguo Culture. Tsk, Li Jiulin is so young and handsome. You and him are a perfect match..."

Among all the people, only Jin Xizhen knew that "Li Jiulin" was just a layer of skin. She decided to keep the secret hidden and then get on Qiu Cixian's train.

The other women around were also envious and jealous, and some even sighed, "It would be great if I had a boyfriend like Li Jiulin."

Jin Xizhen quickly said, "Go away, don't you see what kind of character you have? Qiu Cixian has good looks and a good figure. More importantly, she was already with Li Jiulin before his identity was exposed. How can you compare with her?"

This aroused the anger of some people. Some people whispered: "Tsk, Qiu Cixian hasn't said anything yet, why are you showing off? Besides, Qiu Cixian is already the heroine. If she follows Li Jiulin, what room for advancement is there for her?"

Just as he was talking about this, Li Shuo on the stage announced: "Next, the crew's investors will also make some changes. In order to compensate for the impact of the change in investors on the crew, I will announce on behalf of Shuoguo Culture: the salary of all crew members will increase by 20% year-on-year. This part will be regarded as a bonus and will be distributed uniformly by Shuoguo Culture at the end of the project!"

There is no more effective strategy than simply throwing money around!

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was shocked:

“Thank you, Producer Li!”

"Long live!"

"awesome!"

Chen Xiaoqi frowned, secretly shocked by Shuoguo Culture's generosity, and at the same time felt a sense of crisis: if this continued, wouldn't Shuoguo Culture's position in the crew surpass that of Spreadtrum, the initiator?

Fu Chengguo was furious, but he didn't dare to vent. He made a fierce decision in his heart: when he returned, he would vent his anger on Century Huayue, and it would be best if the company helped him pay for the loss...
