Chapter 197: Yang Mi: Entertainment Industry's Model Worker (Part 2)
"Alright, here are a few movies, take a look and choose which one you want to act in. Feel free to pick any." Sun Dasheng generously handed over a list.
These are all film investments already negotiated by Star Point Media.
And the offers to Yang Mi are all for the female lead.
Yang Mi, being an old hand, quickly saw: Old Sun is indeed an honest person, the choices given to her are all good ones.
Either it's a comedy featuring Shen Teng.
Or a film directed by Ning Hao with Huang Bo.
There's even one directed by Chen Sicheng featuring Bao Qiang.
.....
Truly full of sincerity.
Only one thing...
"These are all good movies, but..." Yang Mi hesitated.
"But what? Just say what you think, what are you hiding from me?" Sun Dasheng wrapped his arm around her fragrant shoulders.
"It seems like these are all male-centric movies, right? And they're all comedies. Shen Teng, Huang Bo, Bao Qiang are all the top comedians domestically, their films have one feature: the female lead lacks presence."
Hmm...
Don't say it.
Seriously, don't say it.
Yang Mi truly deserves the title of an old artist in the entertainment industry.
She's quite sharp.
Immediately spotting the issue in these movies.
Correction, not the issue with the movies, but with her acting in these movies.
Domestically, the only female who can stand toe-to-toe with these three male actors in comedy seems to be Ma Li, right?
For a female actor to shine in comedy, she really has to play an ugly or clownish role.
Yang Mi... forget it, an actor with an image burden can't pull it off.
"Alright, you have a point. Here are the films the company is planning to invest in; pick whichever you like, and I'll help you secure it."
Sun Dasheng tossed the company documents to her.
Yang Mi seriously perused them.
In the end, she chose several romance films.
And... some thriller series.
Sun Dasheng's eyelid twitched while watching, truly worthy of the title "workaholic" in the entertainment industry, she picks movie roles boldly and isn't afraid of taking on too much.
But at least, the filming of these movies won't start until the second half of next year.
Giving her enough time to have a baby and recover well.
"These are it." Yang Mi smiled at him.
Sun Dasheng replied with one word: "Cool."
Yang Mi was slightly dissatisfied with his reaction: "I'm earning milk powder money for the baby in my belly."
Goodness.
That's a solid reason.
Sun Dasheng couldn't refute.
Refuting means not caring about the baby in the belly.
"Alright, I'll tell Sun Dacheng; soon you'll receive audition invitations."
"Just a formality."
Sun Dasheng added a bit more explanation.
Yang Mi covered his mouth with her hand, smiling alluringly: "Got it!"
Seems like she truly got it.
In this entertainment industry, unspoken rules should be avoided, yet auditions should be sent properly so everyone saves face.
Can't create the impression that you're hogging all the opportunities.
Otherwise, many future gigs won't include you.
Star Point Media's reputation in the industry is still quite decent.
According to Sun Dacheng, now more and more ensemble films and series are seeking investments.
This also counts as a positive trend.
It indicates that everyone recognizes you.
You're a noteworthy figure in the industry.
When it's time to share the wealth, they'll think of you.
After a walk.
Yang Mi returns to a fully armed appearance.
Then, under Sun Dasheng's cover, she quickly gets into the car and heads home.
....
5.1.
Another bustling holiday.
To avoid large numbers of tourists during the May 1st holiday.
Sun Dasheng decided to give the employees an early break on April 27th, allowing them to book tickets early, and visit tourist spots early.
The holiday lasts from April 27th to May 7th, a full ten days.
Winning the title of best boss.
The employees' wallets are bulging, allowing them to travel and spend.
As their boss, Sun Dasheng stayed home for this holiday.
His ladies asked him: Why not go out and have some fun.
He shrugged it off with: Don't want to experience the crowd and see a sea of people.
He added: "If any of you want to go out at this time, remember to tell me in advance. I have to arrange bodyguards for you, in case something happens and someone abducts you, I'll suffer a big loss."
As expected, he was unanimously despised by the girls.
Hmph! Saying so much, isn't it just because you don't want to go out with us?
However, despite their complaints, they understood his intentions, knowing that not going out at this time was for their own good.
Because a casual browse on Douyin shows those tourist spots crowded with a sea of people, endless at first glance.
The most famous classic scenes: the Great Wall, renowned mountains and rivers, ancient cities.
The holiday passes, the fever diminishes.
The workhorses get their harnesses back on and start their grinding life.
....
Shanghai Theatre Academy.
Graduation performance for the vocational class.
Though it's a vocational class, the performances were still very impressive.
The trio gave an outstanding performance.
It seems like they've been studying very diligently.
"How about it? Didn't I live up to your trust?"
Ding Muchen whispered softly as she sat beside Sun Dasheng.
What's with the hint of pride in her voice?
Well, Sun Dasheng could understand.
Guiding these three little ones to success, she seemed to have gained a lot, with a great sense of fulfillment mentally.
"Mr Ding, very good! With such a responsible and dedicated teacher like you, they've made such great progress."
Ding Muchen suddenly grabbed his waist secretly, twisted it lightly, and said through clenched teeth: "Then why haven't you come to see me?"
Good heavens.
After all that prelude.
Turns out she was waiting for me here.
A miscalculation, a miscalculation.
After arranging the trio and Ding Muchen to the Theatre Academy, he was content and forgot about them for a while.
He couldn't admit it, of course.
"What are you talking about? I haven't visited because I just got transferred and have been busy with work, not wanting to disturb you."
Sun Dasheng's eyes rolled, he came up with an excuse.
"Really?" Ding Muchen seemed unconvinced.
This LSP of yours could really keep from coming to see me?
There's only one possibility, which is that you've already had your fill outside.
Thinking about this, her eyes reddened, and her grip tightened a lot.
Sun Dasheng hurriedly cried out in pain, attracting the attention of teachers around.
Ding Muchen wasn't as thick-skinned as him, released his hand and whispered in his ear: "I'll let you off for now, but I'll deal with you properly later."
The graduation performance concluded.
The trio were surprised and delighted to see Sun Dasheng.
"Uncle, you've come to see our graduation performance? Wow! You didn't tell us in advance, is it to surprise us?" Li Sili spoke her mind without any reservation.
Yun Yuqing was much smarter, smiled slightly: "I guess Uncle finally remembered the three of us."
What did she say?
What's that supposed to mean?
Sun Dasheng didn't like it.
It was Li Sili, our innocent and lively darling, who was more endearing.
Sun Dasheng patted Li Sili's head and said to the three: "Nothing lined up next, right? I'll take you to some fun place."
"Where to?" Li Sili asked, tilting her head.
Fang Sihan said boldly: "Uncle, let us go back and change clothes first, we're still in our performance attire."
At this moment, Ding Muchen came over: "Your performance just now was very good, keep it up, there should be no problem with this year's college prep upgrade."
"Wow! That's great." The trio were overjoyed.
A college prep upgrade, that sure was nice.
That's why they were willing to transfer schools to this place.
This whole ordeal was for a birthright from the Theatre Academy.
With this birthright in the future, along with Uncle's help, they can navigate the entertainment industry smoothly.
"Is Mr Ding coming too?" Li Sili asked.
"Going where?" Ding Muchen was still clueless.
Sun Dasheng hadn't told her either.
"Ah, Mr Ding, you don't know? Uncle said he'll take us out to have fun later." Li Sili instantly betrayed her revered uncle.
Ding Muchen looked at Sun Dasheng with an unfriendly expression.
Sun Dasheng inwardly cursed, but kept a cheerful face: "How could I forget you, I'm waiting for you so we can all go together."
Now that's better.
Ding Muchen's face eased temporarily.
"Where to?"
"You didn't get to go out during May Day because you were busy rehearsing for the graduation play. This time we'll go out and have a good time, as compensation for the May Day holidays." Sun Dasheng didn't reveal the destination, keeping it a bit of a mystery.
