Su Chen and Yang Boss had been together for seven years.
Of course, he had seen how the former Rong Xinda, including the later Jia Xing, worked.
But only after witnessing the operation of Hongxingwu!
Su Chen finally understood what the phrase “money can make you do anything” really meant—
Although he didn’t know the reason.
But Su Chen could clearly feel that Liu Yi Fei was obviously very anxious!
So during this early preparation period.
As long as Su Chen thought the filming location was suitable, the advanced equipment was reliable...
Including the directors and crew teams that Su Chen liked!
As long as he expressed his interest!
Liu Yi Fei basically wouldn’t even ask, only one word—
Pay!
Sometimes it made Su Chen feel a little guilty!
Several times he felt that the price the other party offered was already 20-30% higher than the market price.
He wanted to carefully negotiate a price with her.
But Liu Yi Fei, who had been following behind without saying a word, directly made the decision on the spot.
Buy!
In her words:
“I have to win a big award in June! How can I waste time haggling?”
And at the same time!
Besides the financial freedom.
Su Chen also inexplicably, after entering the entertainment industry for several years...
Experienced for the first time what it felt like to be a “golden daddy” and “have absolute control”—
Since that first night in Shanghai.
He also discovered that Liu Yi Fei basically, intentionally or unintentionally, put all the decision-making power in his hands!
At first, Liu Yi Fei would ask his opinion for everything.
Later, she simply let him take the initiative to arrange things.
Until finally...
Liu Yi Fei didn’t hide it anymore.
She simply told the entire company team, including all the crew members—
“Because I want to maximize the success rate of the project.”
“So everyone, from today onwards, unconditionally meet Su Chen’s requirements in all aspects of work!”
“There is only one goal—
“That is to ensure that the project perfectly presents the effects that Su Chen wants to express in his script to the greatest extent!”
So!
Under this kind of top-down united and highly efficient environment...
The entire process of site selection, investment, crew formation, casting, and other preliminary preparations.
Was completed in less than ten days!
Of course!
As the saying goes, “If you don’t have the right people to do things, even if you work yourself to death, you won’t get anything done!”
The biggest investor in the entire “The Story of Roses” is Hongxingwu!
Among the other few investors.
Penguin was the platform that had already been discussed…
Xinli Media provided the director and the top-notch filming team…
And CCTV, under the strong influence of Hongxingwu’s connections, reviewed Su Chen’s script.
Then they felt that this drama happened to reflect some social issues amidst all the current urban dramas about love and romance.
So they simply decided to be a part of it, to create a phenomenon-level work with some social implications!
In other words…
The only real operator of the entire drama is Hongxingwu!
And now, the “Miss Qianjin” of Hongxingwu, Liu Yi Fei, has given the decision-making power to Su Chen!
So everyone is here to work.
Naturally, they all started to operate quickly with Su Chen as the core!
…
“Ding-a-ling-ling~"
Accompanied by a burst of urgent phone ringing.
In a hotel next to a film and television city in Beijing.
Director Wang Jun’s assistant rushed to the door of a closed room, his face full of anxiety, and knocked on the door.
After getting permission, he carefully opened the door.
At this moment.
The large living room of the suite had been transformed into a temporary audition site.
Behind a simple long table.
Only Director Wang Jun, Liu Yi Fei, and Su Chen were sitting alone!
“Director Wang…”
“Mr. Huo just called and said he just landed and is rushing here with all his might.”
“But Mr. Tong Dawei is already here.”
“Why don’t you try Mr. Tong’s scene first?”
Director Wang Jun frowned instinctively when he heard this.
But he quickly turned his head.
He looked at Su Chen beside him with a slightly worried expression and asked:
“What do you think…?”
“Well, Mr. Tong is also a dedicated good actor, so let’s call him in!”
Su Chen nodded directly.
Wang Jun then also nodded to the assistant.
In a moment.
Tong Dawei, wearing a neat and casual suit, walked in.
Actually, Su Chen had a good impression of Tong Dawei.
Although he had lowered his market rating in the entire Chinese entertainment industry because of the large-scale film “Fruits”.
But Su Chen knew.
He is actually one of the few actors with solid skills among young actors of this generation!
As soon as Tong Dawei entered, he was obviously taken aback.
As a veteran in the industry.
He certainly recognized these three people.
But he really didn’t understand…
Why does a mere Su Chen have the right to sit with Director Wang Jun and Liu Yi Fei?
And it seems…
He is the one auditioning him?
“Director Wang, Yi Fei…”
Tong Dawei subconsciously greeted Director Wang and Liu Yi Fei politely.
Then he nodded politely to Su Chen.
He was just about to ask Director Wang how to audition.
But suddenly!
He saw that Liu Yi Fei, who had been lost in thought since earlier, raised her eyebrows slightly!
She said softly:
“Ahem, Dawei Ge, you don’t know him very well, do you?”
“Let me introduce you!”
“He is the screenwriter of this year’s hit dramas like “Hua Qian Gu”, “He Yi Sheng Xiao Mo”, and several others.”
“He is also the screenwriter of our drama, Mr. Su Chen!”
“Dawei Ge, you know my personality, I never bother to worry too much about things.”
“So this drama…”
“It has been handled by Mr. Su Chen all along!”
As soon as the words came out!
Looking at Tong Dawei opposite, Liu Yi Fei looked at him with a meaningful smile, saying nothing!
“Shua!”
Tong Dawei has been in the business for so many years. He is a cunning fox!
His expression immediately changed!
He certainly knew Liu Yi Fei’s background.
He also knew that this drama was invested in by Hongxingwu!
So Liu Yi Fei’s saying “Su Chen is handling the drama for me” now…
It’s definitely not just about “handling” things on set.
It also includes the power of the investor!
He hadn’t been paying much attention to entertainment gossip recently.
But he had vaguely heard some rumors about Su Chen and Liu Yi Fei.
Now, seeing Liu Yi Fei seriously giving him a hint.
He immediately dared not have any disrespect!
He quickly bowed slightly to Su Chen with a serious expression, and said sincerely:
“Mr. Su Chen!”
“I haven’t had the opportunity to work with you before. Please forgive me.”
“I will need your guidance and criticism on my work in the future!”
Tong Dawei’s voice.
His sincerity was so obvious from his humble tone…
and sincerity!
