Reborn: Billionaire in College

Director Li’s real name is Li Jianquan. The reason why he is so popular among the crew is mainly because his job is the casting director.

During the preparation stage of the film and the pre-shooting preparation stage, assist the director in selecting actors, recommending actors suitable for the roles, and assisting the producer in negotiating prices with the actors and signing actor contracts; responsible for the communication between the actors and the creative design of the music, art, modeling, costumes, props and other departments, acting as a communication bridge; under the arrangement of the director, cooperate with the actors in rehearsals and do necessary training (horse riding, martial arts), etc.

During the filming of the film, he is responsible for recruiting extras, special actors, and small roles, directing the performances, preparing lines in advance, etc.

Except for the roles like the first and second female protagonists who are usually played by the lead actor, the others basically need to be found by the assistant director.

When you think about it this way, you will understand the power of Li Jianquan in the crew.

The next morning, when Li Jianquan came to the crew humming a song, he found that the people around him looked at him with indescribable strangeness and ambiguity, and were evasive.

Li Jianquan was a little confused. When he randomly asked a worker, the worker mumbled and couldn't explain anything.

Thinking of what happened last night, Li Jianquan was filled with anger.

First, he was rejected repeatedly by a newcomer, and finally he was kicked out by the owner of Tiangong Bar.

Li Jianquan was so angry that he stood at the door of the bar and cursed.

But I can only curse, there is nothing else I can do.

Even a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Moreover, after some investigation, I found out that the person behind the Tiangong Bar is not an ordinary person.

They suffered a loss and had no place to vent their anger, so they found a club and had a group party.

Li Jianquan yawned, his mind still a little fuzzy. He played too crazy and too late last night and was still not fully awake.

"Where did you do last night?" Lao Mouzi asked with a strange look on his face when he saw him like this.

Li Jianquan was stunned: "I didn't do anything, I just went out for a drink."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

"Just check Weibo yourself." Lao Mouzi put his hands behind his back, shook his head and walked away.

Li Jianquan was still wondering why he was asked to check Weibo. After taking out his cell phone and taking a look, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Although it only ranks eighth on the hot search list, the title is extremely eye-catching.

"A well-known director has long used his casting power to take advantage of new actresses."

After clicking in, Li Jianquan's photo was clearly visible. In the photo, he was hugging and kissing other girls, and the accompanying text also contained revelations about other actresses.

Li Jianquan's heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself that something was wrong.

It's been exposed!
People outside the circle don’t know who he is, but people inside the circle know him, especially since the photos are not even mosaiced.

What made Li Jianquan even more puzzled was that this photo was not taken recently. If his estimation was correct, it was taken in Shanghai two or three months ago.

Why are photos from two or three months ago posted online today?
Judging from the angle of the photo, it is very likely someone who used to play with me, but why did he want to expose himself?

Li Jianquan thought about it and didn't feel that he had ever offended anyone.

Could it be what happened last night?

As soon as Li Jianquan thought of this, he immediately refuted his own idea.

It doesn't make sense. What happened last night just happened. Who has the power to buy off connections to get photos of oneself from two or three months ago and publish them?
Besides, I didn’t do anything last night. At least I didn’t hug her or kiss her.

"Why is this happening?" Just as Li Jianquan was muttering to himself, six or seven reporters carrying cameras rushed in from outside.

Behind this group of reporters, there were security guards chasing after them: "Hey, this is the filming location. You can't go in without the director's permission."

But this group of reporters had no time to listen to what the security guy said. After a while, they almost put the microphone into Li Jianquan's mouth.

"Director Li, hello, I'm a reporter from Southern Metropolis Daily. I'd like to ask..."

"Director Li, Director Li, look here, what do you think of the actress who accused you of having long-term unspoken rules over newcomers, promising to give them a role and then going back on your word?"

"Director Li, Chi Lu posted on Weibo accusing you of deliberately getting her drunk at a drinking party and then assaulting her. Is this true?"

"Director Li, an actor accused you of inviting someone to a hotel under the pretext of an audition, requiring them to wear swimsuits, shorts, dresses and other revealing clothing, and engaging in indecent behavior in front of them. Is this true?"

"..."

Li Jianquan broke out in a cold sweat, his head became dizzy and he felt as if the whole world was spinning.

There was only one voice in his mind: "It's over!"

However, it was not long before Li Jianquan was relieved.

The two uncles in hats rushed over and took Li Jianquan away.

The Internet was in an uproar at this time.

"Your circle is really messy."

"A lot of companies wanted to sign me at the beginning, do you know why I didn't go? Because it was too chaotic."

"Such a greasy uncle is so lewd. This world is so scary."

"Boys and girls alike need to protect themselves when they go out. This is just what has been exposed, but who knows how much more there is beneath the surface."

"The Flowers of War crew needs to come forward to explain, and so does Zhang Yimou."

"I just saw that the Wujiang police in Dongjiang have issued a statement on Weibo. I think it must be a serious crime. If it is just an unspoken rule, it may not be against the law if both parties are willing."

"Wujiang Police: Li has been criminally detained according to law."

…………

On the other side, the agent Lu Jie was distracted after seeing the news.

She was very reluctant to connect Ni Na and Li Jianquan's arrest, but it was neither too early nor too late. Li Jianquan was exposed at this time and was taken away so quickly that she couldn't help but think about it.

When we signed the contract with Nina, we also investigated her family background, and there was nothing special about it.

Besides, a bar owner shouldn’t have so much power.

Unless there is someone behind the bar owner, this would also explain why the owner would rather not make any money but cause a scene last night.

In a panic, she made several phone calls but no one answered. Lu had no choice but to go to Nina's residence and knocked on the door for a long time before she woke her up.

Nina got home very late yesterday, and after what happened, she slept even later.

"Little ancestor, you finally woke up. Something big has happened."

Nina rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked in confusion, "What's the big deal?"

"Li Jianquan has been exposed, many people have accused her, and she has been arrested." Sister Lu quietly looked at Ni Na while talking, trying to judge whether Ni Na knew about this by observing her micro-expression. But to her surprise, Ni Na's face was full of surprise: "So suddenly? It's good that he was arrested. I heard that this person has a big problem."

"You don't know anything?"

"I don't know." Nina shook her head.

"Is it possible that someone you know sent him in?" Sister Lu reminded cautiously.

"It should...not be." When speaking, Ni Na thought of Chen Pingjiang first, and the more she thought about it, the more certain she became. When Zhao Shaoyang was leaving yesterday, he said that there would be a satisfactory result today.

Is this what a satisfactory result means?
Of course, this result is not bad either.

Ni Na is now 80% confident that Chen Pingjiang is related to this matter, and he is the only one who has enough motivation and energy.

It's just that the action is too fast.

Ignoring Sister Lu, Nina quickly took out her cell phone and started reading the news.

Either Sister Lu is cut out for this kind of job, or just from the hesitation in Nina's tone of answer just now, I could tell that Nina must know who's behind this.

"Xiao Na, don't blame me. I was doing this for your own good. The atmosphere in the circle is really not very good. But even if your friends didn't come to save you last night, I, your sister Lu, would have stood up for you. That bastard Li Jianquan would never have been able to hurt you."

Sister Lu is very panicked now and wants to get herself out of trouble as soon as possible.

"I am also a woman, I definitely don't want to see such a situation, but I have no choice in the world, you have to understand me."

Nina didn't listen to what Sister Lu said at all. All she wanted now was to see Chen Pingjiang, the man who did all this to protect her.

"Nina, are you listening to me?" Sister Lu looked at Nina in a daze and waved in front of her helplessly. However, the phone rang at this time. Not long after she answered the phone, Sister Lu's face changed.

The call was from a lawyer from the company's legal department, who said he had already arrived in Dongjiang and had something to discuss with her, and asked her to contact Nina at the same time.

This time, Sister Lu became even more panicked and called everywhere, but unfortunately she didn’t know whether the phone was turned off or not.

Half an hour later, a man and a woman also arrived at Nina's residence.

The other party didn't say anything, but just handed a document to Nina and Sister Lu respectively.

The document in Nina's hand is a notice of termination of contract.

What Sister Lu holds in her hand is a notice of dismissal.

Ni Na was in a daze. Sister Lu screamed and quickly chased out to find the HR specialist: "If you fire me, you have to pay me compensation."

The HR specialist sneered, "It's good that the company didn't sue you, but you still want compensation. I suggest you take a serious look at the contents of the dismissal notice. You were fired because you made a major mistake at work and damaged the company's image. If you don't accept it, we will fight you in the labor brigade, arbitration committee or court. In addition, I personally suggest that you change your career. The company has shared your name with other companies, and you are now on the industry blacklist."

After watching the man and woman leaving, Sister Lu sat down on the ground in dejection.

If she doesn't become an agent, what else can she do at her age?
However, after seeing Nina standing nearby, hope rekindled in Sister Lu's heart. She struggled to get up, walked to Nina and grabbed her arm.

"Nana, please tell the boss behind you. I really know I was wrong. I am not a human being, eh."

Before Ni Na could say anything, Zhao Shaoyang's voice came: "It's a little late to realize your mistake now."

With the arrival of Zhao Shaoyang, Ni Na became more or less numb.

Wow, in less than an hour, three waves of people came to my house, which is more than the total number of people in the past six months.

Zhao Shaoyang separated Sister Lu without any hesitation, and said contemptuously: "Make way."

After that, she turned to Nina and said, "Let's go too."

"Huh? Where... where?"

“You’ll find out when you get in the car.”

While speaking, Zhao Shaoyang felt happy looking at Ni Na's face.

Don't get me wrong, even if he had 18,000 guts, he wouldn't dare to have any thoughts about Boss Chen's woman.

The reason why he was so happy was entirely because of the relationship between him and Nina.

Zhou Guanghan, Dai Sheng and Zhao Shaoyang have a good relationship.

But recently those two guys have been hiding things from him and won't tell him what it is when asked.

However, what Zhao Shaoyang knew was that Ge Mengshi used to be Dai Sheng's boss, so Dai Sheng also became a pro-Ge faction.

Needless to say, Zhou Guanghan is a relative of Boss Chen.

Now that I have Nina as a bridge, can I become a pro-Ni member?

After getting in the car, Nina dared to ask weakly: "Where are we going?"

"Go see who you want to see."

The car circled around the city of Dongjiang for nearly forty minutes before finally entering a building.

The elevator went straight up to the 22nd floor before Nina pushed the door and walked in.

Zhao Shaoyang left tactfully.

The moment she entered the door, Nina was shocked by the spacious living room, and at the farthest point of her sight, a familiar figure was standing at the window, turning his head to look at her.

"I had something to do yesterday, so I only have time to see you today."

Chen Pingjiang was holding a can of Coke in his hand and smiling.

Nina had a lot to say, but she didn't know where to start.

From the moment I saw Chen Pingjiang, an inexplicable emotion spread in my chest.

Her sense of security exploded, and she wanted to throw herself into Chen Pingjiang's arms.

"I...I thought we would never meet again after the last time. After all, we are from two different worlds."

Chen Pingjiang smiled and said, "Not really. Do you think I am such a heartless person?"

What Chen Pingjiang didn't expect was that Ni Na actually nodded: "You are so handsome and rich, you must be very fickle."

This sentence made Chen Pingjiang embarrassed. He touched his nose and smiled bitterly: "You are really wrong. In fact, I am also very loyal. I only like young and beautiful people."

"Li Jianquan will definitely stay in jail for a few years. He has a lot of scandals. Not only did he have unspoken rules, but he also drugged and made love with women against their will, and even engaged in group sex. Even after he gets out, his reputation is ruined. He can't make it in China. I don't know if he can make a living in the island country in the future." Chen Pingjiang said, "I have already taken your contract from your company. I guess you have heard the news. Tomorrow I will have someone set up a studio and name it after you. I have also invested some money in the crew of The Flowers of War. It will start filming in the first half of next year. You can just act normally and don't worry about anything else."

"Also, this large flat has a total area of ​​360 square meters. I have already bought the property rights. I will transfer it to your name when time permits. Someone will take you to the original owner for handover. Although this is a second-hand house, it was actually bought by a friend of mine when the housing prices just started to rise last year. It has been left here since it was renovated and no one has ever lived in it."

Nina's mouth was big and her eyes were confused as she asked, "Why are you so nice to me?"

"I've already said I'm not a scumbag!" (End of this chapter)
