The next day, when Song Yi came to Penguin Company, Director Li asked him to go to the office.

Song Yi knew that the result about Director Wan was coming.

Coming into the office, Director Li smiled and said: "Producer Song, are you tired of waiting these days?"

"Fortunately, doing the show is not a matter of one or two days, so there is no rush."

"That's good."

Director Li paused and said, "Brother, I have lived up to your trust and got the job done. Director Wan should be notified today."

"Thank you, Director Li, for taking your time."

Director Li waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, brother. Since you call me Brother Li in private, and I call you Brother Song, I will naturally help you with this small favor."

"That's what Brother Li said." Song Yi naturally changed his title.

Although Director Li said it casually and it was just a small favor, Song Yi knew that Director Li must have spent some effort this time, otherwise he would not have been able to wait so many days.

After briefly chatting with Director Li about the program for a while, Song Yi returned to his office. Not long after he sat down, he received a call from Director Wan.

"Hey, Song Yi, I've been informed from above that after I finish this issue, I'll hand over to your production team."

It could be heard that Director Wan on the phone was a little happy.

Song Yi also smiled and said: "Congratulations, we can work together again."

"Thank you."

"I should thank you for being willing to come to my show and help me, a newcomer."

Director Wan smiled and said, "Okay, let's not talk anymore. I'm at the scene. I'll meet you for dinner and a nice drink when I come back."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, someone knocked on the door. It was Tan Dan, the person in charge of inviting guests in his group.

"Production Song, this is the list of guests we can invite through communication and the approximate estimated cost. Take a look, the result is not ideal."

"good."

Song Yi took it over and looked at it, frowning.

Compared with the first choice list discussed at the meeting, four people were among the backup candidates, which was a bit beyond his expectation.

Variety shows initially require traffic actors to support the scene.

"The main reason why these people don't come is money?"

"Not really."

Qin Dan replied: "We give the money based on the market price. Most of the reasons why they don't come are because they are not interested in our new program or don't believe it."

"Okay, I understand."

Song Yi said: "You go out, leave the list with me for now, and then I will tell you after I confirm it."

After sending Tan Dan away, Song Yi read the information about these stars again on the computer, mainly looking at their film and television works.

In fact, in today's entertainment industry, there are very few pure singers, because singing is no longer very profitable, and most of them have moved to the film and television industry.

It took Song Yi an entire afternoon to read roughly the masterpieces of several of them.

The first reason he did this was to make sure that these people completely matched the persona he had in mind, and the second reason was to see if they had ever collaborated with director Zhang Jianzhong.

The results show that in terms of personality, the guest invitation group indeed selected people based on the personality they requested during the meeting, which was more appropriate.

Second, among these four people, three have worked with Zhang Jianzhong and acted in his films.

Song Yi didn't even think about it, he picked up the phone and called Director Zhang Jianzhong.

Since you have resources in your hands, you will naturally use them if you can.

"Screenwriter Song, hello."

There was some noise from Zhang Jianzhong's side on the phone, and it looked like he was on the set.

Song Yi smiled and asked: "Director Zhang, are you busy?"

"It's okay, tell me, what's the matter?"

Song Yi didn't mince words. He knew Director Zhang Jianzhong's character and said straight to the point: "Director Zhang, I really want to ask you for a favor.

I recently want to put on a variety show and want to invite a few guests, but because I’m a soft-spoken person and can’t talk much, I’d like to ask you to set up a line and talk about it.”

When Zhang Jianzhong heard this, he wondered: "You didn't write the script, why did you go to work on the show again?"

"There's nothing I can do, Director Zhang. Now I've been thrown into the position of producer within the company. I can't do it without working."

The other party hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Okay, you can send me the names of those people first."

"Okay, I'll send it to you via WeChat right now."

After hanging up the phone, Song Yi sent several people's information to Zhang Jianzhong.

After Zhang Jianzhong read it, he had a certain idea in his mind and called Song Yi again.

"Hey, Song Yi, I saw these people just now. One of them happens to be filming on my current crew, and the other two people are considered acquaintances.

In this way, I will tell you, and it depends on whether they will give me face or not."

"Thank you, Director Zhang."

Song Yi smiled and said: "Next time Director Zhang comes to Chengdu, remember to call me. I will treat you to a few drinks."

"It's a deal."

Zhang Jianzhong smiled and said: "By the way, have you been writing a new script recently?"

When the other party asked about the script, Song Yi knew what the other party meant and said frankly: "It has been written."

"How much have you written?"

"The writing has been completed, and the crew is being prepared to start shooting."

Zhang Jianzhong was surprised: "So fast? Also, after you have finished writing, why don't you tell me first and let me take a look. If it is a subject that I am interested in, let me shoot it? Didn't I tell you last time?

.”

"I originally thought of you, Director Zhang."

Song Yi explained: "But our people here contacted your assistant, and your assistant said that you have accepted the role and are currently filming, and there is no schedule."

"."

After Zhang Jianzhong heard this, he smiled helplessly and said: "I never knew you were so efficient. It didn't take long before you wrote a new script.

What story are you writing this time?”

"Suspense type, about solving crimes, the name is "The Silent Truth"."

As soon as Zhang Jianzhong heard the name, he felt interested and felt a little regretful that he should not have taken on the palace battle drama he was currently working on so quickly.

Since his film "The Golden Branch" became a hit, many companies came to him to film palace battle scenes.

But after reading the scripts, he rejected them all.

But there are always some people that he can't refuse casually. In addition, the quality of the other party's script is barely acceptable, so he agreed.

"Then let me congratulate you in advance. Your new drama will continue to be a hit."

"Thank you, Director Zhang."

After Zhang Jianzhong hung up the phone, he asked the assistant beside him: "Not long ago, a person named Songtang Entertainment Co., Ltd. asked you to make an appointment with me for a play?"

Facing Director Zhang's inquiry, as an assistant, he had no impression of such a little-known small company at all.

Every day he would receive calls from many companies about filming appointments with Director Zhang, but he never remembered to come over.

But he obviously couldn't answer this kind of thing, otherwise wouldn't it seem like he was derelict in his duty?

"It seems there is such a company."

The assistant replied: "But you had already accepted the show, so I rejected it."

After hearing the assistant's answer, Zhang Jianzhong didn't say anything else, but just ordered: "Go and invite our leading actor over. I have something to do with him."

After get off work, Song Yi came out of the company and found a familiar car parked not far away.

He walked over and knocked on the car window.

The car window rolled down, revealing Tang Wanqing's beautiful face.

"I was driving by and stopped by to pick up my boyfriend from get off work."

Song Yi opened the door and got in the car, and asked in confusion: "Why are you here? Didn't you go to Shanghai to attend a business event?"

"It's over a long time ago."

Tang Wanqing said: "What do you want to eat tonight?"

"hot pot."

"Okay, let's go, let's go to the supermarket to buy groceries."
