After the divorce, I became a rich girl

But in order to be fully prepared, Li Jiawei decided not to sit there and wait for An Ling to give her the result.

Liang Yusen taught her that you should always have a backup plan for everything you do, so she decided to take action and take the initiative in the development of the matter.

So Li Jiawei picked up her phone and called Director Zhang. This number was exchanged between the two when they worked together last time. Director Zhang has been in the entertainment industry for many years, has directed many classic movies, and has a deep friendship with many seniors in the entertainment industry who are both virtuous and talented.

If Chen Huaijin insists on his own opinion and Yu Manqi refuses to reshoot the sample film, then "Meishang" will have to change the interview subject.

After the phone rang a few times, it was finally connected. Director Zhang's slightly tired voice came: "Ms. Li, how come you have time to call me?"

Director Zhang had just come out of the editing room, where he had been working overtime for several hours in order to catch up with the New Year schedule. Li Jiawei could hear the fatigue in Director Zhang's voice, and knew that although the film had been completed, the follow-up work was still heavy, so she said apologetically: "Director Zhang, I'm sorry to disturb you."

Director Zhang drank half a cup of iced coffee, and felt a little refreshed. He smiled and said, "If you're there, I'm taking a break. Is there anything you can do for me?"

Li Jiawei briefly explained the dilemma that "Meishang" encountered, and then asked: "Director Zhang, if we can't convince Ms. Chen Huaijin to change her decision, can you help recommend a senior in the entertainment industry to accept our interview?"

Director Zhang listened to Li Jiawei's request and laughed heartily: "Hey, I thought it was a big deal. Don't worry, if Chen Huaijin disagrees, you can call me anytime. I know a few people who are more famous than Chen Huaijin. I will definitely recommend someone you like when the time comes."

Li Jiawei quickly thanked him: "Director Zhang, thank you."

Director Zhang smiled and said, "Why thank me? You are my boss. When I am done with this busy period, I will treat you and Xiao Yi to a meal. I just got a project that I think is great. Please see if you are interested in investing."

Li Jiawei responded: "Okay, you can call me anytime when you are done."

Director Zhang was very satisfied with Li Jiawei's attitude and said, "Okay, I'll contact you then." After hanging up the phone, he stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window with a cup of coffee, looking into the distance.

Director Zhang felt that Universal Pictures was really a blessing for him. Just when he was worrying about how to work with John Leung again, the contracted actors of Universal Pictures did such a brainless thing, showing off in front of the two masters. Didn’t they know who was behind "Meishang"? This gave him the opportunity to pick up the leak.

He received a war-themed script a few days ago, which included many large-scale battle scenes. He roughly estimated that the investment in this project would be huge.

He had a very pleasant cooperation with Liang Yusen this time. Liang Yusen only wanted to take the money and did not participate in the crew's affairs. He only looked at how much profit the project could bring him in the end. Such an investor is hard to find now!

Therefore, when he got the war script, the first person he thought of was Liang Yusen. If Li Jiawei agreed to invest, he believed that Liang Yusen would definitely agree.

Moreover, in this society, only by helping each other can a perfect closed loop of interests be formed and relationships can last long.

Director Zhang was thinking in his mind which actor he would introduce to Li Jiawei if she needed him. Many of the actors he has promoted over the years are not only influential in China, but also well-known internationally. They are different from Chen Huaijin, who has only played a minor role abroad but dares to brag that he is an "international superstar".

After Li Jiawei hung up the phone, she decided that since Director Zhang had already promised her, he would definitely not break the appointment. Therefore, even if Chen Huaijin disagreed to change her decision, she had a follow-up backup plan, and she felt much more at ease.

Here, An Ling was communicating with Chen Huaijin. Facing An Ling's request, Chen Huaijin refused without hesitation. She also knew that Yu Manqi had gone too far, but who could blame Yu Manqi for having Mr. Xiao Wang behind her? Now all the good resources in the company were leaning towards Yu Manqi, and even she had to avoid Yu Manqi's limelight in the company.

Chen Huaijin has a clear understanding of her current situation. Although she seems to be very successful in the eyes of the outside world, only she knows the pain in her heart. Her current status is supported by a masterpiece she shot when she was young. In recent years, she has moved abroad simply because it is difficult to access high-quality resources in China.

However, it is not as easy to break into the foreign market as imagined. Without any connections, she could only play marginal roles in some foreign big productions. When those foreign films were released in China, she became a mascot for publicity and a tool for foreign capital to increase China's box office.

Although she participated in many big productions, she was only a supporting role. However, these experiences gave the Chinese people the illusion that she was very popular abroad, thus earning her the false reputation of an "international superstar".

But as she got older, she didn't want to continue playing soy sauce abroad. At the same time, her overseas experience over the years also made her realize the reality: the foreign market is fundamentally different from the domestic market. Just as Chinese capital will not cultivate a blond foreigner to become a superstar, foreign capital will not cultivate a yellow-skinned Chinese to become a superstar.

Therefore, no matter how hard she worked abroad, she could never play an important role in a big-budget movie. Sometimes, a person's success is indeed inseparable from the social and cultural background.

After returning to China for nearly a year, she knew very well that if no new representative works appeared, her false reputation as an "international superstar" would soon be exposed.

Therefore, she attaches great importance to this interview with "Meishang". Although "Meishang" is not a top domestic publication, it has been very popular recently. If she can accept the interview with "Meishang", she will have the opportunity to return to the vision of Chinese audiences.

But Mr. Wang proposed a condition that she could hardly refuse: let her bring Yu Manqi along and use her reputation as an "international superstar" to raise Yu Manqi's status.

Although Yu Manqi's current popularity is only at the third-tier level, with her support, the situation may be different. And the exchange condition given by Mr. Xiao Wang is to give her the leading role in a major project launched by the company at the end of the year.

Faced with such conditions, she really couldn't refuse. Therefore, when An Ling made the request, she couldn't agree.

An Ling said helplessly: "Then can you ask Miss Yu Manqi to cooperate with us to take another set of photos?"

Chen Huaijin sighed and said, "Editor-in-Chief An, it's not that I don't want to help you. You know, Yu Manqi is Mr. Wang's person, she won't listen to me. In fact, as an internal publication, it doesn't matter whether the picture style matches the style of the entire magazine. People who buy magazines now only look at whether the magazine has their favorite stars and whether it has their favorite luxury goods. They don't care what style the magazine is. Why are you so persistent?"
