“…Chen Fan, Chen Fan.”

A voice went from blur to clear, Chen Fan then realized, looked up and saw that everyone in the conference room looked at him, and asked with a little guilty concern, "What?"

After Zhong Xixi left, Zhou Manxin called them together and had a meeting. In addition to him and Guo Yuzhi, there were several others, all of whom were backbones of Manman Film and Television Company.

Zhong Xixi has agreed to participate, which means that the preliminary preparations for this project will be officially launched.

While they were discussing heatedly, Chen Fan was still thinking about Zhong Xixi's affairs and didn't listen at all.

Zhou Manxin stood there, pressing her hands on the table, and then stood up straight, repeating the question, "Do you have any suggestions for the male protagonist?"

Chen Fan said, "I think it's best to have better acting skills and be more down-to-earth."

As for other conditions, he did not mention that the investment in this drama was there. Even if Zhou Manxin really reached 10 million and hired Zhong Xixi, how much money would she get to hire a male star?

Besides, he, as the original author and screenwriter, has no say, and the script has been almost completed, so he is waiting to collect the money.

Zhou Manxin nodded and said, "Most of the scenes in this drama are between the male protagonist and the female protagonist. The heroine only requires one, she is beautiful enough, and Zhong Xixi can be fully competent. For the male protagonist, appearance is second, the key is to have good acting skills, and standing with Zhong Xixi, you must look a good match. Manager Lin, you can choose some people according to these requirements."

A man in the conference room responded.

Then, Zhou Manxin arranged tasks for several other people, including Guo Yuzhi, and asked him to find a suitable shooting venue. He tried to start shooting officially after the Spring Festival.

Because there are many scenes of ice and snow in the script, and only by going to the north can you find such an outdoor scene. Therefore, Guo Yuzhi has to go to the north.

At this moment, Zhou Manxin's cell phone rang and she walked outside to answer the phone.

After a while, Zhou Manxin came back with a smile on her face and said, "Tell everyone a good news. Just now, the investment department of Goose Films called me and said that she was interested in investing in our movie, with the initial investment of 20 million."

For a moment, everyone in the conference room cheered.

Chen Fan was stunned, 20 million? Moreover, is it an investment from a large company?

He could not see that this project was worth 20 million. Even if Zhong Xixi participated in it, it would not work. After all, she was just a newcomer and became a TV series, and she never proved herself in a movie.

He looked at the cheering people in the conference room and could only admit that he was just a layman and really couldn't understand this operation.

In the end, Guo Yuzhi, who was sitting next to him, answered his confusion, "Writer Chen, don't you know? Mr. Zhou's father is..."

Guo Yuzhi said a name, and Chen Fan suddenly realized that he was a well-known director who had made many movies and was still active in the film industry. Although he was not the top group, people like him who did not pay much attention to film directors have heard of the names, which proved that they were indeed very skillful.

With such connections, no wonder he can attract such investment. At that time, Mr. Zhou’s father might also come and check it out.

With an investment of 20 million yuan and a well-known director to check, maybe this movie can really be made into a fine product.

Chen Fan felt that he had really turned his luck and could actually encounter such a good thing.

Which author doesn't want his work to be better?

Zhou Manxin said, "The meeting is here, and Screenwriter Chen stays."

Soon, everyone else left the conference room.

"Chen Fan, there is something I want to discuss with you." Zhou Manxin has always been very polite in his attitude towards him.

Chen Fan said, "Mr. Zhou, just say it."

Zhou Manxin said sincerely, "You have also seen that there are only a few people in my company. The investment in this project now exceeds my previous expectations. There is a bit of insufficient staff. I hope you can join the crew. Of course, I will give you the corresponding reward."

Chen Fan didn't expect that she would make such a request. She was very moved. If she could stay in the crew, she would see Zhong Xixi again. He was in a daze just now, mainly thinking about how to see her again and test whether she was Lin Xiuwan.

He asked, "But, I can't do anything, what can I do if I join the crew?"

"I am the producer of this movie. Just be my assistant. You don't need to do anything else, just stare at the crew when I'm not here and coordinate the relationship between the crew."

Chen Fan knew it was not that simple. He usually used the title of assistant and did odd jobs. To put it nicely now, he would not have to do all the dirty and tiring work.

Instead of giving the answer immediately, he said, "I want to think about this."

"Okay, then you can give me an answer as soon as possible."

Seeing that she was about to leave, Chen Fan asked, "Mr. Zhou, will Miss Zhong come to the company when she signed the contract?"

Zhou Manxin said, "She will take a plane to leave tomorrow, and she should not come anymore. But this will not affect the signing of the contract."

"oh."

…………

All day, Chen Fan's mind was tossing and thinking about that question, was it Lin Xiuwan?

If so, why didn't she recognize her?

If not, why do they look so similar? How can they explain the exact same smell on their bodies?

At night, Chen Fan finally couldn't help but call Zhou Manxin, "Mr. Zhou, do you know where Miss Zhong's hotel is? I have something to ask her, so I must see her. Yes, please trouble you."

After knowing the hotel and room numbers, Chen Fan went out.

If he didn't figure this out, he wouldn't be able to sleep tonight.

As soon as Chen Fan got into the car, he received a call from Zhou Manxin, "You don't have to go. She is not in the hotel now, so she goes out for dinner with others."

"Can you ask me where she eats?"

"this……"

"This matter is very important to me. Please Mr. Zhou must help me."

"Okay, I'll send it to you on WeChat."

Soon, Zhou Manxin sent a positioning.

Chen Fan gave the address to the driver and headed straight to the restaurant.

Half an hour later, I arrived at the place.

Chen Fan entered the restaurant and looked around, but didn't see Zhong Xixi. He knew that she should be in the private room. So he found a seat with a better view and sat down, ordered a few things, and sat there waiting.

It has been a long time since he was as nervous as he is now. He holds the water cup in both hands, looking forward to the appearance of that figure.

After about ten minutes, he finally saw the familiar figure, walked out from inside and walked towards the bathroom in the corner.

Chen Fan's heart tightened, put down his cup, stood up suddenly, accidentally hit the table, the cup fell down, and the water spilled on his pants, wet.
Chapter completed!
