I really don't want to be trending with big stars

Chapter 192 The Selection of the Heroine and Heroine in "The Beginning"
Because of Dad's birthday present, Song Yi's company also moved from the original commercial center office building to the lakeside office building a few days later.

Because the place is big enough and there are enough rooms, each department also has its own independent office space, and there is no need to crowd together to work.

Not only that, but various supporting facilities outside the working area are also very complete.

Under Song Yi's suggestion, Chen Ying added a staff canteen for dining, a rest room for drinking coffee and chatting, a gym for exercising, and an indoor swimming pool, etc., for employees to use during work.

This kind of treatment and working environment makes the employees in the company very happy.

Even with such a large amount of money, Song Yi's utilization rate of the entire office building is only one-third, and there are still many places left unused.

However, he believes that with the development and growth of the company, more and more colleagues will be added in the future, and many new departments will be added until the entire office building is fully occupied.

Another point is that Song Yi also accepted the suggestion of the company's financial director on the ownership of the office building.

Public is public, private is private.

Although this is his Song Yi's private property and can be used by the company free of charge, but financially, she still suggests making it a lease.

In this way, the company can use the rental fee to deduct a reasonable part of the tax.

Song Yi didn't know much about finance, so he didn't know there was such a thing.

After listening to the financial explanation, he of course agreed.

Although I don't evade taxes, I obviously don't have to pay some money. Of course, I don't have to pay it. I use it to invest in Zhang Yitong's benefit fund and do some charity.

As time goes by, the day of the New Year is getting closer and closer.

Tang Wanqing's filming of "Unnatural Crew" in Yunlan is coming to an end.

Director Zhou Jingyu sent back all the material from the previous shooting, and asked Chen Ying to hand it over to the post-production team in the company to start editing and producing some interesting tidbits of the shooting scene.

After these tidbits were edited, people were arranged to buy traffic from the short video platform, and then began to launch, promote, start a small-scale warm-up, release news, and pave the way for the broadcast next year.

At the same time, because the Chinese New Year is coming, various companies and directors have previewed one film after another. In order to compete for the annual drama, they are fighting hard.

Song Yi also watched the excitement.

His current main battlefield is TV dramas, and he has no plans to enter movies.

After a period of rest, he began to write a new script.

There is no way, he is the only one in the output of the entire company's works, so he can't do without hard work.

This time, he wrote about the popular Internet drama "The Beginning", which once made everyone feel the fear of being overwhelmed by the music of XLR mobile phones and the pressure cooker when they took the bus.

There are several reasons why Song Yi chose this drama.

First, its theme angle is good. There are very few TV dramas in this world that are time cyclical and brain-burning, which are relatively novel.

Second, if my company wants to stand out quickly in the industry, it needs a lot of high-quality works.

As for this drama, its plot is compact and not procrastinated, with only ten episodes, the shooting cycle is relatively short, and the results are produced quickly.

Thirdly, my company currently has too few artists under its umbrella. Compared with popular artists of other companies, it is not competitive enough.

If you spend money to recruit artists from other companies, not only the cost is too high, but the success rate is also low.

So instead of doing this, he might as well quickly use Internet dramas to attract some newcomers to increase the overall strength of the company.

While Song Yi was writing the script, he was also starting to choose the male and female protagonists for this drama.

At present, since the establishment of the company, Chen Ying has also signed some newcomers one after another.

For these newcomers, Song Yi hadn't met a few times, and he didn't know their potential.

So, he planned to try these newcomers.

If the final result is good, it is best to find a newcomer who is more suitable for this drama.

So he called Chen Ying in advance and sent her a script of the hero and heroine in "The Beginning" and asked her to give it to the newcomer.

After receiving Song Yi's call and script, Chen Ying put down what she was doing, and immediately came to the artist department and told all the newcomers about it.

"I have a script here, which is the content of your audition tomorrow, take it back and prepare it carefully, the boss will come to select people.

Remember, this is a great opportunity for you to debut.

If you perform well tomorrow and are favored by the boss, the hero and heroine of the next drama will be one of you. "

What Chen Ying said made everyone excited instantly.

As a newcomer, everyone wants to get this great opportunity.

The next day, Song Yi came to the company as scheduled, and accompanied by Chen Ying, he finished watching all the newcomers' auditions.

Although he didn't find a female lead that he liked, he found a new male lead that satisfied him.

This is also a relatively good result.

"Just him."

Song Yi pointed at the other party, stood up and said, "You ask this newcomer to come to my office."

"Okay, Mr. Song."

After Song Yi left, Chen Yigang shouted to the boy who was selected just now: "Ning Zhiyan, come with me to the office, Mr. Song is looking for you."

"Manager Chen, have I been selected?" Ning Zhiyan asked in surprise.

Chen Ying nodded with a smile and said, "Well, the male lead of our next drama will be you."

In an instant, the other people around cast envious and hateful eyes and congratulated.

"Congratulations, Ning Zhiyan."

"Thank you."

Ning Zhiyan said happily: "I'll treat you all to dinner after get off work later."

"Okay, come with me, don't keep Mr. Song waiting."

"Okay, Manager Chen."

A while later, Ning Zhiyan followed Chen Ying to Song Yi's office with excitement.

Song Yi smiled and asked, "What's your name?"

"Ning Zhiyan."

"I asked you to come here to tell you that the male lead of my next drama has decided to let you act. Do you have the confidence?"

Ning Zhiyan replied, "I have confidence."

"Well, from today onwards, during the preparation process before filming starts, you should watch more film and television dramas that involve the concept of "time loop" to find out how you feel, and let yourself have a clear understanding."

"Okay, Mr. Song."

Ning Zhiyan responded, then suddenly hesitated, as if hesitating to speak.

Song Yi asked suspiciously: "Do you have anything else to say?"

Ning Zhiyan took a deep breath, and boldly asked: "President Song, Manager Chen, do you have a suitable candidate for the heroine?"

"No."

Song Yi shook his head and smiled, "What's the matter? Do you have someone to recommend to me?"

Ning Zhiyan said with some anxiety: "I know a girl who is only a sophomore now. She is my junior sister. She has good grades in her professional courses. May I let her try?"

Song Yi stared at him for a while.

Originally, he himself was lucky to be selected, and he should be content.

Unexpectedly, at this time, I still have the thought to help others recommend it.

It seems that the relationship is not normal.

Song Yi asked curiously: "Is that girl the girl you like? Or your girlfriend?"

"neither."

Ning Zhiyan denied, "I just thought she was excellent, so I wanted to recommend her to the company."

"And do you have a picture of her?"

Song Yi smiled and said, "You can show me first."

"Yes." Ning Zhiyan quickly took out his phone, found the girl's photo, and handed it to Manager Chen next to him.

Chen Ying glanced at it, then handed it to Song Yi.

Song Yi looked at the girl's photo, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Isn't this Zhao Jinmai?
Impossible, this is a parallel world.

He pretended to return the phone to the other party, and said casually: "Okay, I see, you can go out."

"Oh."

Ning Zhiyan thought that his recommendation had failed, and walked out with some pity.

He didn't lie to Song Yi, the reason why he took the risk today to help the other party recommend it was really just for his friends and wanted to help the other party.

Because her father was hospitalized with cancer, the family is in a difficult situation, and now she urgently needs to make money.

After Ning Zhiyan went out, Song Yi said to Chen Ying, "Manager Chen, immediately find someone to investigate this girl privately for me."

"Okay, Mr. Song."

Chen Ying didn't know why Song Yi didn't show interest directly in front of Ning Zhiyan just now, but let herself contact him in private.

But as a qualified subordinate, she doesn't need to know, she just needs to do things according to the boss's orders.

A few days later, Chen Ying sent the other party's information to Song Yi's mobile phone.

It turned out that the girl's name was Liang Siyao, from a single-parent family, and her father was currently hospitalized with cancer.

Due to financial pressure, she has already applied for a leave of absence this semester, and is currently looking for a job to make money.

"."

After Song Yi saw it, he said, "You can contact the other party and arrange to come to the company for a test play as soon as possible."
-
During this time, Liang Siyao came out of school, looking for work to earn money during the day, and taking care of his sick father in the hospital at night.

The little savings in the family have almost been spent on medical treatment.

Otherwise, she would not apply for a leave of absence.

After all, art schools are expensive.

But she is only a sophomore, and she is not too outstanding. She has interviewed several well-known entertainment companies one after another, but there is no news.

She also submitted resumes and tried some plays for some crews that recruited actors, but none of them succeeded.

There are even some small crews, directors and screenwriters directly hinting at her that as long as they are satisfied, they can consider giving her a role to play.

Just when she was at a loss, her future was hopeless, and she was even in despair, Chen Ying approached her, introduced herself, handed her a business card, and asked her if she was interested in trying her company's new play.

If so, you can call her.

At first Liang Siyao thought the other party was a liar.

But when she looked up the company and name on the business card online, she was a little surprised.

Not only that, the recent hit drama "The Silent Truth" is the work of this company.

Some time ago, Mr. Tang Wanqing, who dominated the hot search headlines, and Mr. Yu Xiaojiu, a rookie, are also artists under this company.

"Is this another village with dark willows and bright flowers?"

With a glimmer of unbelievable hope, Liang Siyao dialed the other party's phone.

"Hi, hello, is this Manager Chen from Song Tang Company?"

"I'm."

On the phone, Chen Ying asked, "Who are you?"

Upon hearing this, Liang Siyao introduced herself: "I'm the girl you gave me your business card that day, you said you asked me to come and audition, is that true?"

"Of course it's true, so you want to come over?"

Liang Siyao nodded and said, "Well, I want to try it."

"Alright then, I'll let you know when I've confirmed the audition time."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Ying immediately reported the situation to Song Yi.

Song Yi thought for a while, and just happened to have some time tomorrow morning, so he said directly: "Just let her come tomorrow morning."

"Okay, Mr. Song."

So, Chen Ying immediately called Liang Siyao again.

"Hello, Manager Chen." Liang Siyao said.

"You come over tomorrow morning." Chen
Ying asked: "By the way, do you know the address of the company? Do you want me to send someone to pick you up?"

"no, I'm fine."

Liang Siyao refused, "It says on your business card, I can come here by myself."

"Okay, see you tomorrow morning."

The night before, Liang Siyao took the script and practiced hard for most of the night in the ward where he was looking after his father.

The next day, after only sleeping for 4 hours, she took a taxi to Song Tang Entertainment Co., Ltd. alone.

Looking at the office building in front of her, she was a little shocked.

When she came to the front desk of the company lobby, she explained her reason for coming.

The lady at the front desk seemed to have been waiting for her a long time ago, so she took her directly to Chen Ying's office.

After seeing her, Chen Ying smiled and said, "Let's go, let's go to the training room, someone is already waiting for us."

Coming to the training room, Liang Siyao saw a man not much older than himself sitting there.

When I walked in, I found that it was the screenwriter Mr. Song Yi.

Could it be that the play I tried was Teacher Song Yi's new play?
Liang Siyao's heart beat instantly.

You know, the two works Mr. Song Yi has written so far are both high-quality works, and they are well received on the Internet.

"Mr. Song, hello." Liang Siyao shouted nervously.

After Song Yi saw the real person, he sized him up carefully and couldn't help sighing: In this world, there are actually people who look exactly the same.

"You are Liang Siyao, right? Don't be nervous, behave yourself later."

After Song Yi gave her 10 minutes of preparation time, the audition began.

Although the performance was still a little green and not particularly good, it gave people the same feeling as Zhao Jinmai in the previous life "The Beginning".

That's it.

Originally, this drama did not have very high requirements for the acting skills of young actors.

As long as the hero and heroine are not awkward, and the performance feels like a college student, it's fine to not play.

On the contrary, there are a few supporting roles, and some capable middle-aged actors need to be found.

After the audition, Liang Siyao looked at Song Yi nervously, waiting for his result.

Song Yi got up and said, "Not bad, congratulations, you have become the heroine of my next drama."

"Thank you, thank you Teacher Song." Liang Siyao couldn't believe her ears.

I actually actually chose the heroine in Teacher Song Yi's script.

Song Yi said to Chen Ying: "Next, you can communicate with her and complete the procedures and contract. I will leave first."

"Okay, Mr. Song."

After Song Yi left, Liang Siyao followed Chen Ying back to her office.

Chen Ying told her about the contract.

Although I was selected, if I want to play the heroine of Mr. Song Yi's next play, I have to sign a contract with the company and become an artist under the company.

See Liang Siyao hesitate.

Chen Ying handed her the contract and said, "You can take a look at our contract conditions first, and then decide."

After reading it, Liang Siyao signed without the slightest hesitation.

Now she has no choice at all, such an opportunity must be seized.

What's more, she took a look and found that compared with the newcomer contracts signed by senior brothers and sisters with other companies, Chen Ying's contract was much better in terms of treatment and conditions.

Chen Ying nodded in satisfaction, put away the contract, and said with a smile: "You are welcome to join our company."
