I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

"Fuck, why do I keep running into you everywhere?" Upon hearing this familiar voice, Yang Dan knew who the person was without even turning around.

"This is Huajing, you thought it was Qilin. I have taken root here before you, so I should be the one to say this." Chen Xi walked over and shook the device in his hand.

"Humph, don't try to scare me with this thing. Our crew is shooting a war blockbuster here, so don't come and make trouble. She is an actress in my crew, and I am guiding her in her work now!" Yang Dan waved his hand, signaling the other party to get out quickly.

"Let me see what kind of drama this is...'I Bet There's No Shell in Your Cannon', an anti-X drama? Is this what you call a patriotic education blockbuster? Hahaha." Chen Xi looked at the title on the script and almost laughed to death.

"You know shit! I invested hundreds of millions in this movie!" Yang Dan stood up from the chair with a red face.

"Hundreds of millions? Just these crappy props? I don't think this show will make any money back,"

"Huh, am I as superficial as you? I am paying out of my own pocket to promote patriotic ideas to the next generation. Some things cannot be thought of to make money. You, on the other hand, are too narrow-minded..." Yang Dan crossed his arms across his chest, his face full of pride.

People who don’t know the truth would really think that this guy is a patriotic young man.

"Haha, these crappy movies of yours are totally misleading."

Seeing the sponsor being insulted, the director nearby immediately jumped out to express his loyalty: "Oh my, what you said is wrong, it shows that you don't understand the film and television market at all. People nowadays like to watch bad movies, and I won't watch movies that are not bad! There is a good saying on the Internet: I usually don't watch bad movies, but I will definitely watch the extremely bad ones! Director Wang is known as the king of bad movies. He once said that it's not that he wants to make bad movies, but the audience likes to watch bad movies, there's nothing he can do about it!"

"Haha, didn't you just say that you were making a patriotic education film? If this turns into a bad movie, wouldn't that be even more ironic and misleading to the students?" Chen Xi retorted with a sneer.

"This..." The director was speechless for a moment.

"Don't waste your words on him, this guy is just good at talking. Anyway, this is a film and television base, you don't want to shoot a movie here, do you?" Yang Dan pushed the director away and stood in front of Chen Xi to question him.

"Haha, that's true." Chen Xi said as he looked at the woman next to him.

This woman is pretty, but her face looks young and you can tell at first glance that she is a newcomer who has not filmed many films yet.

"You're still filming a TV series? That's hilarious. What are you looking at? This is someone from my crew."

"Didn't you just hear this lady say that she doesn't want to make a bad movie?"

"Humph, we have to shoot it even if we don't want to. The contract has already been signed."

"It's not written in your contract that you're going to shoot this kind of drama. The script I read before is completely different from this. You're cheating!" The woman next to him retorted when she heard it.

"What's the big deal? If we're not satisfied with the content, we will of course modify the script. I warn you, if you don't shoot it, I will have someone ban you!" Yang Dan glared at her.

"Hey, in a situation like yours where you made major changes to the script, you won't be able to get the liquidated damages even if you sue. My lawyer is one of the top four lawyers in Huajing. If this lady wants to sue, I can help her." Chen Xi offered an assist.

"Chen Xi, you really want to go against me, right?"

"Yes, my crew is short of actors now. I want the actors that Mr. Yang doesn't want, and I will shoot the good films that Mr. Yang doesn't shoot. If you are willing to go to my place, come over! If he dares to use the contract as an excuse, I can help you with the lawsuit. The treatment is definitely not worse than here..." Chen Xi raised his hand and shouted to everyone present.

"I'll sign up!" The woman next to her was the first to raise her hand.

"I am coming too!"

"Take me one."

Seeing someone taking the lead, several actors who had long wanted to stop acting in bad movies all gathered around him.

"You, you, you... Humph, I don't want this garbage anyway. I have plenty of money, the worst that can happen is I can just hire a few more people." Yang Dan wanted to take action, but then he remembered what his father had told him, and forced himself to calm down.

He is not a student anymore, and he has suffered several losses at the hands of Chen Xi, so he has become a little more mature.

In less than a minute, a group of people gathered around Chen Xi.

With a wave of his hand, those who had defected followed him and headed towards the crew.

"Mr. Yang, why didn't you stop him?" The director dared to speak only after the others left.

"Why are you stopping me? Go recruit some more people and remember to be obedient. I want to see what kind of good film he can make." Yang Dan narrowed his eyes and looked outside the house. He left after saying this.

More than ten minutes later.

"Huh? That's it?"

"Didn't you say you don't want to make bad movies? Why does it feel worse than the one just now?"

"Yeah, there were at least some props there just now, why is there only a piece of rag here?"

The people recruited by Yang Dan looked at the two actors fighting in the air not far away, and their mouths were full of complaints.

This fight scene seems silly at first glance, so silly that it cannot be described in words.

The actors made various movements towards the air and muttered to themselves, like elementary school students imitating childish fighting after watching cartoons.

However, there are still some people who know what's going on, like the woman who was almost taken advantage of just now.

She glanced at Chen Xi and said, "You want to do post-production combat special effects, but this is not popular in the country."

"Are you talking about the money issue? When I make a movie, I only need to use the funds for special effects and advertising." Chen Xi replied indifferently.

"It's not enough for a mainland TV series to have just good special effects. You just said that you want to advertise. Spending money to invite some big-name stars is actually a disguised form of publicity. Domestic audiences nowadays are loyal to the few artists in their hearts. No matter how well a movie is made, it's a good movie in their hearts." The woman shook her head.

"I understand this. The quality of artists nowadays is getting worse and worse. The audience only looks at the face and not the acting skills. The times are also changing. Haven't you noticed that many young and handsome guys in the current entertainment industry look similar? I can find a newcomer who is no worse than them. Newcomers just lack the resources for packaging. I have my own media and can package and promote however I want. The entertainment industry is very complicated now. If a big star accidentally gets involved in a scandal, he will be spurned by thousands of people and banned. The movies they appeared in may also be shelved forever. In order to reduce the risk, I might as well spend a small amount of money to find newcomers and rely on super high special effects to cover up other shortcomings. The most important thing is that I don't want to waste money on those rubbish..." Chen Xi explained patiently.

"But when the new guy becomes popular, his value goes up, so isn't the result still the same?"

"What I meant just now is actually very clear. I don't need to spend much money to train a new person. I can train a large number of new people indefinitely. As for whether he is willing to continue to cooperate with me after he becomes famous, I don't care at all."

"Then what are you trying to do? Help other crews train actors?" The woman was speechless.

"Suppose I train him from the eighteenth tier to the third tier, if he runs away, others will have to spend more money to upgrade him. The entertainment industry is different now. Stars are as numerous as cabbages, and no one can stay popular forever. Capital is not stupid. They now randomly pick someone to make famous from time to time. But those idle artists must have income, and they will come to me when they have no movies to shoot." "I always feel that your purpose is not to make movies."

"Hahaha, technology is so advanced now. If one day, computers can make a movie, and those actors are no longer needed, what will the entertainment industry become?"

"How could this be possible? I don't believe it!" The woman shook her head vigorously.

Chen Xi didn't explain much but just asked, "What's your name? Judging from your accent, you must be from Qinhuai."

"Ni Li, from Qinhuai, what about you?"

"Chen Xi is from Xinlu, and his ancestral home is also in Qinhuai."

Both parties briefly introduced themselves.

"Hahahaha, Chen Xi, I thought you made some earth-shattering blockbuster, but it turned out to be this kind of brainless movie! You just now even laughed at the movie I made and called it a bad movie. I think yours is a hundred times worse than mine!" While the two were chatting, Yang Dan, who was hiding and observing not far away, couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"You know nothing!" Chen Xi didn't even want to pay attention to him.

"Hahaha, I don't understand. Then please tell me the title of this movie so that I can watch and learn from it when it is released." Yang Dan covered his stomach and laughed so hard that his body almost cramped.

"Listen carefully, this play is called Fighting Against the Continent!"

"Okay, okay, I'll definitely take a look when the time comes." Yang Dan, who was almost having a stitch in the side, nodded and left.

"What? This drama is the most popular one on the Internet, Fights Break Sphere?"

"I want to act, I want to act!"

"I want to play the Doudi!"

These newcomers were originally hesitant, but when they heard that it was the popular novel on the Internet, they naturally would not give up this good opportunity to show their faces.

"Don't worry. There are many novels on our Tianya forum that are going to be adapted into film and television dramas. There will be plenty of films for you to act in. But let me be frank. This green screen special effects shooting is different from ordinary movies. The actors must have a good imagination. In other words, there may be nothing in front of you, but the actors must imagine that there are some monsters, buildings, etc. in front of you. You just saw other people's performances. To outsiders, they are quite silly, but with special effects, they are very cool. This kind of shooting is very common abroad. You still need to adapt to it. If your performance is not outstanding... then you can only be an extra. Our crew will conduct performance assessments regularly to discover actors with potential, and will never bury any future outstanding actors..."

"Clap clap clap!"

Chen Xi's words made everyone applaud.

Ni Li also secretly clenched her fists, she must become famous this time.

At this time, it was in the countryside dozens of kilometers away from Changshan City.

Feng Yun stood beside the vast field with a frown on his face. Not far away, on several muddy country trails, several luxury Mercedes-Benz cars were stuck in the mud, their tires slipping helplessly in the mud, and the drivers were busy sweating, trying their best to rescue them from the quagmire, the scene looked extremely embarrassing.

"I say that you big bosses in the city really don't understand the situation at all. You drive such expensive cars to inspect here, but you don't even understand the road conditions here. And you're still doing rural e-commerce here, it's really ridiculous!" An old farmer in the field put down his hoe and started to educate Feng Yun.

Feng Yun didn't get angry after hearing this. Instead, he smiled and asked, "Brother, why don't you use machines for production? Planting by hand is so slow."

"The machine is free? That's easy to say." The old farmer rolled his eyes and didn't want to pay any attention to him.

In his eyes, these bosses are just a group of outsiders who don't understand agriculture at all.

"If you don't have money, you can rent or take out a loan!" Feng Yun asked tentatively.

"Loans and leases? We don't understand these." The old farmer shook his head.

"I remember there is a rural credit cooperative here. It should have been promoted over the years."

"We can't even read a few words. We heard that the people in the credit union would make fake contracts to deceive people, but we don't believe them."

"I see some people are using machines to grow crops. Aren't you lagging behind others?"

"It's backward, so what? He can't make much money with machine farming anyway. Do you think our crops are made of gold? Besides, they use machines because they have a lot of land. Do you know what the household contract responsibility system is? I think city people like you know nothing."

"It is definitely not efficient to sell agricultural products at the town market. If you use e-commerce platforms, the efficiency will be greatly increased."

"I don't understand!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Our company has publicity in rural areas. And we have points in every town and village, and you can go and attend classes for free. There are also places to buy and sell goods in the countryside, and people can place orders to help you buy daily necessities in the city online. In this way, you don't need to spend a lot of time and money on transportation to buy in town, and there are many varieties..." Although the old farmer's words were very impolite, Feng Yun, as the big boss, naturally would not care about it.

Seeing the boss still trying earnestly to persuade a farmer, several senior executives nearby couldn't help but shook their heads slightly.

"Haha, is that the small store you mentioned? Boss, you should go and take a look yourself." The old farmer laughed after hearing this, pointed in a direction and said no more.

Hearing this, Feng Yun frowned even more tightly.

The purpose of this trip to the countryside is to check on the progress of the project. After all, the investment is not a small amount of money.

So far, 5 billion has been invested, and he originally planned to invest 10 billion.

In fact, he had already arrived early this morning, but his subordinates and the people from the cooperative company had been playing Tai Chi with him.

Either they held a welcome party for him or asked him to give a speech and provide work guidance, but he ended up not leaving the company building the entire morning.

Feng Yun sighed in his heart.

He had also read The Secret Visits of Kangxi. He used to wonder how the old emperor could be so stupid as to be fooled by a group of officials.

As a result, he wasn't much better in reality.

The little devils in the company and the partners who took the money but did not do the job messed up his plans.

No, I'm going to look somewhere else!
Hearing the old farmer's ridicule just now, he had a bad feeling in his heart. (End of this chapter)
