Chapter 119 Tang Ren Cai Yinong December 2003, 12. Xu Kun, who has lived two lives, took a plane for the first time and came to the Magic City from Kyoto. Wang Peng came to pick me up at the airport in person. Judging from Comrade Wang's energetic and spirited appearance, he should be doing well in Hengdian. After landing, he took Xu Kun and Liu Haibo to have a one-stop meal and foot bath, and experienced the local characteristics of the Magic City. Then Xu Kun took the initiative to contact Tangren Film and Television as the producer of "Heavenly Sword". This was somewhat of a surprise attack, but it was the Tang people who took the first step. Before coming, Xu Kun and Liu Haibo also collected some information about Tangren Film and Television and were surprised to find that this film and television company is headed by a strong woman. Tangren’s boss Cai Yinong is from Fujian. He moved to Hong Kong Island in his early years and worked as a reporter for two years. At the age of 25, he founded a film and television company in Hong Kong Island. Later, he moved to the mainland. He started his business by attracting Hong Kong capital to make co-productions. In recent years, he has achieved some success in the Magic City. Previously, the dramas shot by Tangren mainly featured actors from Hong Kong Island.
But recently, Guan Yonghe, the top actress under Tangren, just retired from the film industry and married Zha Zha Hui. This has had some impact on Tangren, so Tangren is currently preparing to promote young mainland actors. "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is the product of this strategic transformation. Tangren obviously didn't expect that the producer of "Heavenly Sword" would actually come at the "invitation", and was caught off guard for a moment. Xu Kun made the call in the morning, but Tangren didn't respond until the evening, saying that Cai Yinong was willing to meet with him - but by then Xu Kun had already gone to Hengdian with Liu Haibo, so the meeting had to be postponed until three days later. Apart from anything else, Director Chen is really good at infrastructure construction. The Qin Palace complex, which cost more than 1997 billion yuan to build in , is much more luxurious than the August st Film and Television Base. Ironically, director Chen Da's "The Emperor and the Assassin" flopped, but Zhang Yimou's "Hero" became a hit. In fact, there are not many scenes in "Heavenly Sword" involving the Qin Palace, only the opening part, but in order to make a good first impression, the investment in this part is the most intensive. Liu Haibo walked around the majestic Qin Palace several times, gesturing and saying that it could be opened here and cut in half there. If Xu Kun hadn't stopped him, he would have invested half of the funds in it. After returning to Shanghai from Hengdian, Xu Kun was not in a hurry to meet Cai Yinong, but first arranged a meeting between the two groups of military officers with Liu Haibo. In terms of reputation and professionalism, the person introduced by Liu Haibo is definitely stronger, but Wang Peng has the producer Xu Kun as his backer, so he is not inferior to the other party. Finally, the two sides compromised and decided to provide joint guidance and separately design some of the character's characteristic movements, so that the kung fu of different characters can be clearly distinguished. Xu Kun, the "schizophrenic" male protagonist, was fortunately taken care of by both sides. King Abila's martial arts routine was taken care of by Wang Peng's people, while Xiao Ting was taken care of by another party. Only after the contract was signed did Xu Kun and Liu Haibo have time to meet with Cai Yinong of Tangren. ………… The back seat of a business car. Cai Yinong lay on her side in the back seat with her hair loose, enjoying the foot massage and leg pounding from her assistant while flipping through Xu Kun's information with great interest. She had been trying to win over Liu Yifei these days, so she didn't start reading the relevant investigation report until she had an appointment with Xu Kun. I didn't care much about it at first, but after watching it, I found this guy interesting. He was of grassroots background, a fellow villager of Ge You. After making some connections by delivering food to people during the epidemic, he actually put together a crew of 20 million overnight. Cai Yinong put the information into the file bag, rubbed his temple and asked, "We agreed to meet tomorrow afternoon, right?"
"Correct." The assistant said hurriedly: "The location is set in our company's reception room." "Oh." Cai Yinong responded vaguely, and after a moment he suddenly ordered: "Let the Beijing office send someone to his hometown to inquire about him and find out whether he is a real lucky guy or a wolf cub pretending to be a husky." The assistant hurriedly called the office in Beijing. Although Cai Yinong's roots are in Hong Kong Island and his company is in Shanghai, how could he not pay attention to Beijing if he is determined to become bigger and stronger in the mainland film and television industry? At present, Tangren only has a small office, but in 2017, it simply moved its headquarters to Beijing. After hanging up the phone, the assistant saw that they were almost at the destination, so she quickly took out her dressing box, simply tied up Cai Yinong's hair, and then tied it tightly with a hairpin. After the business car slowly stopped outside the Paike restaurant near Luxun Park, the young assistant got out of the car, walked around to the other side, opened the door, and put a pair of high heels on the ground. Cai Yinong stepped on it reluctantly and was helped up by the assistant like an old lady. It wasn't until she pushed open the door of the restaurant and walked inside that all the laziness and fatigue on her body suddenly disappeared. She held her head high and chest out, and her high heels clacked on the ground. Her aura was at least two meters away. But when she entered the box and met Liu Yifei and her daughter, her face lit up again and she called her "Sister Liu" all the time. After the greetings were over and they were seated, Cai Yinong deliberately tried to test the waters: "What a coincidence! I have been busy entertaining my sister and Xixi these past two days, and I never expected that another guest from Beijing would come from afar. I heard that he is from Xixi's hometown." "Sissi's hometown?" Liu Xiaoli was obviously stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Did that person say that himself? Mr. Cai, you didn't meet a liar, did you?" "Sister Liu, you are such a joker." Cai Yinong covered her mouth and said, "That man is from the same hometown as Teacher Ge You. Isn't our Xixi also from the same hometown as Teacher Ge?" "Oh, you are talking about that Cai Something Kun, right?" Liu Xiaoli suddenly realized and felt a little embarrassed. When Liu Yifei first entered school, in order to create the image of herself as someone who aspires to become a performing artist, she deliberately picked up this old relationship with her fellow townsman. However, Lan Tianye refused to meet her, and Ge You also pushed her away with a chuckle. Later, Liu Yifei first took on the role in The Story of a Noble Family and then starred in Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils. Seeing that she was on the rise, she never mentioned the matter again. But later on, she heard that a man named Kun had gotten close to the Ge family and Mr. Lan by delivering food to people, which made Liu Xiaoli feel a little unbalanced. At this moment, Liu Yifei, who had been acting as a vase next to him, suddenly corrected him: "His surname is not Cai, but Xu, Xu Kun." "Ok?" Liu Xiaoli was puzzled: "How do you know? I don't even remember it clearly." Liu Yifei shrugged: "I read the news online. He was the first person to be suspected in the 'children's song incident' a while ago, but later it was discovered that he was wrongly accused..." "Oops~" Before she could finish, Liu Xiaoli started yelling, "I told you not to watch those messy things, why didn't you listen?" Liu Yifei pouted slightly when she heard this, lowered her head and remained silent.
Cai Yinong smiled slightly, and while refilling Liu Xiaoli's tea, she said, "Sister Liu, we can't let Xixi see those messy things for too long, but it's not okay if no one helps to keep an eye on those messy news. Otherwise, if we are involved, we will still be at a loss and be passive, won't we?" As she spoke, she put down the teapot and recommended herself, "I'm not bragging, but Tangren Films is definitely the best in the mainland when it comes to protecting its actors." Liu Xiaoli didn't expect that Cai Yinong would seize the opportunity after she casually taught her daughter a lesson. But she still shook her head firmly and said, "It's enough to have me watching over you. It's better not to bother you Tang people." This was not the first time that Cai Yinong had run into a snag, so she just smiled and let it go, and only invited Liu Yifei and her daughter to have dinner. When the party was over, the assistant couldn't help complaining while cleaning up the mess: "Liu Xiaoli really doesn't know what's good for her. She didn't even pay attention to the 'children's song incident' and she still has the nerve to say that she is enough." Cai Yinong crossed his legs leisurely and said with a smile: "People are leaning against a big tree and are not in a hurry. Naturally, they are waiting for the right price. Don't be anxious, take your time." After a pause, he continued, "Tomorrow morning, remember to urge the Beijing office to report the results of Xu Kun's investigation." (End of this chapter)
