Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

Wu Bing kept Fu Chengguo secret today, which meant that even if he switched to another place for greater benefits in the future, he would not betray Li Shuo. Moreover, he also considered Li Shuo's interests, so he took the initiative to talk about Century Huayue, which was equivalent to starting to work for Li Shuo.

In addition, Li Shuo also saw Wu Bing's ability. This guy is a typical social savvy who fully demonstrated his value with just one sentence.

Thinking of this, Li Shuo sneered and said, "Shiji Huayue is a good plan, but since he wants to withdraw, why should the crew take over for free?"

This was accepting Wu Bing's surrender and discussing things with him.

Wu Bing was very satisfied with Li Shuo's attitude, which showed that although he had just surrendered, he had already begun to be "important", so he explained in detail:

"Mr. Fu is not only a major shareholder of Century Huayue, but also a shareholder of Spreadtrum. Spreadtrum also holds a small amount of shares in Century Huayue. Companies with such cross-holdings generally have very close cooperative relationships, so Century Huayue's request is not excessive..."

"Of course, Spreadtrum will still reject Century Huayue's conditions based on its own interests, but after a lot of bargaining, Century Huayue can at least get back about 2000 million yuan of investment, which greatly reduces the loss of the project. This may be its ultimate goal."

"If Century Huayue achieves its goal, Spreadtrum will suffer a loss, but it will not be huge. The only one who will suffer will be the crew, or more precisely, the third investor of the project, Shuoguo Culture."

Li Shuo nodded in satisfaction, thought for a moment, and then asked, "Where is Fu Chengguo? He is the person in charge of the crew at Century Huayue. Since such a big mess happened this time, did Century Huayue ask him to make up for the losses?"

Wu Bing hesitated for 3 seconds, as if he was considering whether this was considered a betrayal of Fu Chengguo, but he finally whispered: "Your guess is correct. Zhang Nianhua, the major shareholder of Century Huayue, is very dissatisfied with Fu Chengguo's performance this time. He puts all the responsibility on Fu Chengguo. Maybe, after the matter is over, President Fu needs to make up for the company for this matter..."

Li Shuo noticed Wu Bing's hesitation, and he thought: How could he really "never betray"? The reason why he said those words was just a means to express his loyalty to Li Shuo.

Of course, this is human nature, and it even shows that Wu Bing is capable and capable.

So Li Shuo didn't take it to heart. He just thought about it for a while and finally said:

"I estimate that Century Huayue will soon send someone to negotiate with the crew. If it can reduce the losses as planned, Fuchengguo will bear less responsibility. Otherwise, Fuchengguo will bleed heavily!"

Wu Bing nodded: "Your prediction is correct"

Li Shuo's mind raced, he looked at Wu Bing and said, "Actually I don't have any ill will towards Mr. Fu. I took action because he damaged my interests. Now Century Huayue will withdraw from the crew, and Mr. Fu and I are both from the Lenghai Culture Circle. We see each other every day, so we don't want to make the relationship too awkward."

Wu Bing immediately said: "I can arrange a dinner for you and Mr. Fu to sit down and have a chat..."

Li Shuo smiled. He had to admit that with such a smart guy as his lackey, many things would be easy to accomplish.

However, Li Shuo did not agree immediately, but just said vaguely: "I will be busy these two days. You can convey my goodwill to President Fu first. When Century Huayue completely withdraws from the crew, we can arrange a time for dinner."

"Ok"

At around 3 pm, Li Shuo walked up to Chen Xiaoqi and suggested that he arrange some tasks for Wu Bing.

Chen Xiaoqi was a little surprised, but Wu Bing was fired by Li Shuo in the beginning. Now that Li Shuo had asked for his help, she naturally had to give him face. So, at 5 pm that day, when the filming ended, Chen Xiaoqi held another brief meeting.

At the meeting, Chen Xiaoqi announced that Wu Bing would be responsible for half of the filming matters, which was equivalent to re-employing the director.

When she spoke, countless people looked at Li Shuo, who then praised Wu Bing.

As a result, everyone knew that Wu Bing was "reinstated" because he was forgiven by Li Shuo. For a time, people's hearts were in turmoil...

After the meeting, Li Shuo was immediately surrounded by various middle and senior personnel from the crew. In the midst of all kinds of flattery, they clearly expressed one purpose: Mr. Li, look at me, I can also be Mr. Li’s dog…

As the saying goes, you should never hit a smiling person, not to mention that everyone was in a flattering attitude. Even those who were reborn were flattered by all kinds of flattery. So they waved their hands and asked for the most high-end luxury box in Caoshan Resort to invite the middle and senior management of the crew to dinner.

As the "confidant", Wu Bing ran around during the process to arrange the tedious matters properly, and even invited people like Chen Xiaoqi and Chen Dahai to come, in fact, he called all the senior staff of the entire crew over.

Because the opening ceremony was "interrupted" by Li Shuo, tonight is the first dinner together for the entire crew.

As the wine flowed, strangers began to get to know each other, and those with related positions began to become familiar with each other. Of course, more importantly, because of the presence of Wu Bing and Lu Xiping, they gradually integrated the entire crew, and then were strangely controlled by Li Shuo...

Chen Xiaoqi looked at this scene in a daze, she never expected that Li Shuo, who had only been in the crew for one day, seemed to have replaced her as the manager of the crew: the nominal boss of the crew was the director, and she had previously taken advantage of Wu Bing's power being taken away to be in charge of the daily affairs of the crew as a "producer". Now that Li Shuo has brought all the directors and producers under his command, naturally she has nothing to do.

That night, Li Shuo had a very comfortable time. He was the protagonist at the banquet and was flattered by everyone. After the banquet, he was carefully sent back to Qiu Cixian. This female star who had a great time during the day naturally used all her skills to serve the "financial owner" in every aspect...

Because he drank a lot and Chen Xiaoqi did not knock on the door in the morning, Li Shuo did not get up until around 9 o'clock the next day. At that time, Qiu Cixian was no longer by his side.

After washing up, Li Shuo had breakfast in the restaurant before returning to the filming location.

"Qiu Cixian, for the next scene, go to filming location 2."

"Male lead, you and Female 2 stay at Filming Location 1..."

"Mr. Chen, this is the invoice for yesterday's banquet. Please report it..."

As Li Shuo walked along, a feeling gradually became clear to him: if yesterday's crew was a machine that was forcibly put together, then today's crew was an engine that had been fully lubricated and had started to run.

Most people started to work normally, except for one person, Chen Xiaoqi in front of Li Shuo, who looked a little dazed. In fact, she didn't sleep well the night before, so when Wu Bing came to her with the resort invoice for reimbursement today, she just stared blankly at Li Shuo who was walking from a distance, without saying a word.

"Ahem, good morning, Producer Chen."

Chen Xiaoqi came back to her senses after hearing Li Shuo's call. She quickly said to Wu Bing, "Oh, I see. Leave it here first. I'll reimburse you after I finish recording the bill..."

Wu Bing nodded, said hello to Li Shuo, and then turned to leave. The latter sat down next to Chen Xiaoqi. After Wu Bing left, he said with a sigh: "This is a real crew. Everyone is doing real work instead of scheming against each other..."

"That's because they all gathered under your tutelage and formed a common faction, so they are united as one..."

Chen Xiaoqi sighed: "After all, I am a woman. I have an innate disadvantage in this regard."

Li Shuo didn't quite understand the second half of her sentence, so he comforted her casually: "It's okay, I'm actually willing to cooperate with Mr. Chen. Well, I actually admire Mr. Chen's ability."

Chen Xiaoqi looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Are you trying to win me over?"

You are not a T0 beauty like Wei Ni, so why should I win you over?

Li Shuo slandered Chen Xiaoqi in his heart, but he didn't have any bad feelings towards her, so he just said, "It's not to win her over, it's for the crew to run better..."

Chen Xiaoqi said: "Do you know why I mentioned women and men?"

Then, without waiting for Li Shuo to answer, she continued, "There are too many dirty things in the various crews of all sizes in the entertainment industry. People like Fu Chengguo are the standard 'good guys' in the entertainment industry. Do you know why? Because the female artists who followed him were rewarded. Most women who enter this circle are not so 'lucky' to meet someone like Fu Chengguo..."

Li Shuo was a little amused and wanted to say: What about me?

Chen Xiaoqi seemed to see through his thoughts and quickly said, "You are willing to stand up for Qiu Cixian and fight against the cooperating company, and you never found a second woman in the crew from beginning to end. So, compared to Fu Chengguo, you are simply a saint! Well, since you are young and handsome, it is even more precious for you to have come this far."

"So, I don't actually have much objection to you taking charge of the crew."

It turns out that Chen Xiaoqi went around in circles to express this: she was afraid of being misunderstood by Li Shuo, and the two of them fighting for power in the crew, causing chaos in the crew.

After hearing this, Li Shuo was even more convinced that Chen Xiaoqi was a talent, so he said decisively: "Producer Chen, you misunderstood. I don't want to drive you away and dominate the crew. I just want to have normal cooperation with Spreadtrum. For example, Century Huayue will withdraw from the crew. Regarding the price of its withdrawal from the crew, I hope to have a common position with Producer Chen..."

Chen Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief. She smiled and said, "Of course, since I have joined the crew, I naturally have to protect the interests of the crew."

Li Shuo extended his hand to her and said, "It's a pleasure to work with you, Producer Chen. I'd like to add one more thing. I may not be on the crew all the time. Therefore, although the daily management of the crew will be run by Director Wu Bing, the supervision of him will still be the responsibility of Producer Chen. Do you understand what I mean?"

This is to maintain Chen Xiaoqi's independent producer power as an investor.

Chen Xiaoqi was very happy, so she swept away the haze that had started from the banquet last night and devoted herself to the work of the crew...

The crew of "The Temptation to Return Home" began to catch up with the progress at a rapid pace, and Li Shuo left the crew quietly: he was the big boss of the Shuoguo system, not the producer Li Jiulin, and there were many things waiting for him outside.

First of all, it was school matters. Two weeks had passed in December, and Christmas and New Year's Day were approaching. The Cultural and Entertainment Department was going to organize some activities. Director Feng Linlin was recently busy with the affairs of the Shuoguo Secretariat, so Li Shuo rarely appeared in the Cultural and Entertainment Department, made some work arrangements, and then threw the subsequent complicated execution work to the people below...

The second is Xiao Mi Studio. Because of the role issue of Reba, Yang Xiao Mi met with Li Shuo. The former urged Li Shuo to produce the theme song as soon as possible. She also told him that "Palace" was about to start filming. When the role was confirmed, Yang Xiao Mi would also leave Leng Hai.

For this purpose, Li Shuo made a special trip to Lengyin, and watched Reba's recording of "Love Offering" together with Tan Jun and Wei Ni. How to say it, Reba, who has undergone vocal training, has no problem with the melody, but her Mandarin has a "minority" flavor, so "Love Offering" also has a strange flavor, as if the song was covered by a foreigner.

However, at least she is usable. Li Shuo then found Yang Xiaomi, and they agreed to go to Beijing together after a while to meet Li Shaohong. This time they wanted to finalize the role of Reba.

In addition, there were other matters of all sizes in the Shuoguo system, which Li Shuo put off until the next day. But the next day, he received a call from Chen Xiaoqi: Century Huayue had sent someone to Spreadtrum Culture, and they were finally going to start discussing issues related to withdrawing from the crew!

On the phone, Chen Xiaoqi whispered, "Shiji Huayue wants to leave Shuoguo Culture behind and negotiate with Spreadtrum alone. In this way, as long as the two companies reach a cooperation, it will be difficult for Shuoguo Culture to stop it!"

"Thank you for your notice, Ms. Chen. I will ensure that the negotiations take place on the set..."

After hanging up, Li Shuo called Yang Kangcheng and told him what happened. He said, "If Spreadtrum cooperates with Century Huayue, I will teach it a lesson and let it know that Shuoguo Culture is not a small company that can be manipulated at will!"

Yang Kangcheng chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Old Tang knows the importance of this. He can unite other companies to bully outsiders, but he doesn't have the guts to do that to people in the industry... Well, I'll call the president's office of Spreadtrum Culture in the name of the Art Association..."

This is what Li Shuo meant. Since he dared to cooperate with Spreadtrum, he was naturally not afraid of Spreadtrum joining forces with others to cheat Shuoguo Culture. To put it bluntly, Li Shuo's potential in Lenghai Culture and Entertainment was ridiculously strong. Even if the influence of Lenghai Drama Academy was put aside, the Arts Association he had extended his hand to was also playing a role...

Sure enough, just 20 minutes later, Chen Xiaoqi called Li Shuo again. She told Li Shuo in a surprised tone: After receiving the call from the Art Association, Spreadtrum immediately rejected Century Huayue’s cooperation request and stated that it would follow the "rules" and bring Shuoguo Culture in for three-party capital negotiations!

The new negotiation location was set at Caoshan Resort where the crew was located. Spreadtrum CEO Tang Yunpeng would personally attend the negotiation. In addition, Century Huayue would also be represented by Zhang Nianhua...

At this time, Li Shuo's Phaeton had already entered the holiday villa. When he got out of the car, he happened to see Zhang Nianhua getting out of a black extended Lincoln...
