After the meeting with Director Liu, Chen Yiyang asked Natasha to help get in touch with Gena.
Of course, there was no avoiding being drained by Natasha the entire night.
The next morning when Chen Yiyang woke up, he felt as if he couldn't even sense his organs below his chest.
This time, he truly felt empty.
While rubbing his belly, Chen Yiyang noticed Natasha beside him seemed to be waking up again.
Startled, he hurriedly rolled off the bed, grabbed his phone, and ran.
He unlocked his phone to take a look.
Today's scoop was about getting a commission as a middleman arranging a deal between buyers and sellers.
Since the profits amounted to only tens of thousands, Chen Yiyang decided to pass on today's scoop.
But he found a text message from Cao Dong on his phone.
Saying someone wanted to invite him for dinner tonight.
An invitation to dinner, especially from someone like Cao Dong, a big shot in the film industry; of course, Chen Yiyang had to give face and attend.
So that night, Chen Yiyang went to the private room.
Before he even reached the private room, Chen Yiyang received an apologetic call from Cao Dong, saying he had some matters tonight and couldn't make it.
However, the other people had already arrived at the private room, so Chen Yiyang could still go over.
"What's going on here." Chen Yiyang was now suspecting he might be played.
Could it be a situation like Lin Chong entering White Tiger Hall?
As soon as one steps into the room, the inspectors come rolling in.
No way.
So Chen Yiyang immediately stopped and casually found a small shop on the roadside, then called Cao Dong to tell him he wanted something else to eat tonight and asked him to notify the guests to come over here.
Chen Yiyang waited for about half an hour, and two women entered the shop.
"Mr. Chen, sorry to keep you waiting."
These two ladies came in and very politely shook hands with Chen Yiyang.
One of the two women had a very special aura.
Somewhat resembling the aura of a lady boss who accompanies the gang leader in traditional dramas.
"I'm Li Yan, and this is Gao Ye."
The two introduced themselves and then didn't mind sitting there directly in this little shop, casually ordering a few dishes.
"Hello, hello." Chen Yiyang nodded.
Looks like it's not the White Tiger Hall.
That's good.
"I'm Gao Ye's agent, and although Gao Ye isn't well-known, maybe Mr. Chen hasn't heard of her before, last year she collaborated with Huang Bai on a movie." Li Yan pointed toward the uniquely charismatic woman.
"Hello, Gao Ye." Chen Yiyang lightly shook hands with the other.
Though the other had unique charisma and was very attractive.
Chen Yiyang now felt like half his body was still empty, transcending any worldly desires.
"What brings you here?" Chen Yiyang was curious about how these two suddenly got Cao Dong to connect and find him.
Everyone says the entertainment industry is chaotic, am I encountering it today?
No way.
Judging by their looks, that doesn't seem to be the case.
"Here's the thing." Whether or not Li Yan guessed that Chen Yiyang might be overthinking, she quickly said,
"Our Gao Ye is an experienced actress who has been in the field for seven or eight years. But she has always been freelancing and hasn't signed with an agency, so we came to consult you about whether your agency would be willing to accept the affiliation of a personal studio."
Affiliation? Why is it so urgent?
Chen Yiyang hesitated for a moment, then figured it out.
"Does Gao Ye have a role in The Longest Day In Chang'an?"
"Yes, Mr. Chen, I play a character named Li Xiangxiang, who is quite a renowned courtesan of the Tang Dynasty."
"I see."
Chen Yiyang combined the words from these two.
And managed to understand why they were urgently looking to talk about affiliation.
It turns out, right after he replaced Lei Jiayin, some actors connected to the crew received the updates.
Chen Yiyang squeezed out Ali Group to involve himself in The Longest Day In Chang'an project.
And his first move was to directly replace one of the leading men.
The reason Chen Yiyang replaced Lei Jiayin was not hard to guess.
The entertainment world already knows that Chen Yiyang signed Pan Yuming and pressured Zhuozi's team to bring out previous scandals of Pan Yuming's ex-wife to clear Pan Yuming's name.
The White Night Chasing Killer project is still in early development, so many don't know that Pan Yuming is already booked for a project.
Now hearing that Chen Yiyang replaced Lei Jiayin with Pan Yuming, they immediately recognized it as a signing gift for Pan Yuming.
Chen Yiyang actively approached The Longest Day In Chang'an project, leveraging relationships to oust Ali Group's investment share just to insert talent into the project.
But the problem is, Chen Yiyang's agency didn't just sign Pan Yuming alone.
He also signed Song Xi and Yang Jinlu, who are making a splash on the talent show.
These two high-profile actresses are on the verge of making their debut from the talent show.
If the filming of The Longest Day In Chang'an coincides with their successful debut from the show.
What if Mr. Chen needs to find roles for these two then?
The Longest Day in Chang'an is a male-centric show, but there are also some dazzling female roles.
The role of Li Xiangxiang played by Gao Ye is one of them.
Thus, upon receiving word, Gao Ye and her agent Li Yan discussed.
They decided to let Director Cao Dong contact Chen Yiyang, to ask whether Chen Yiyang's agency accepts the affiliation of celebrity personal studios.
Though relying on someone else means sharing some earnings with others.
But it's better than losing the role.
Li Yan proves to be quite competent as an agent.
Gao Ye had struggled before, and only after meeting Li Yan did Li Yan start planning seriously for Gao Ye's future.
After Li Yan's research, she believes The Longest Day In Chang'an has the potential to be a big hit.
If so, Gao Ye definitely can't afford to lose the role she already has.
Understanding their intentions.
Chen Yiyang didn't want to directly say that he indeed wasn't thinking about inserting Song Xi and Yang Jinlu into the crew.
However, Chen Yiyang felt that given Gao Ye's unique aura, this actress might find success playing roles that fit well with him personally.
He considered signing Gao Ye as well.
Especially since there are very few actors who still freelance and run personal studios.
Most are already well-established, gradually transitioning into capitalistic first-tier stars.
Actors like Gao Ye, who are third or fourth-tier yet still resist affiliating with major agencies, are rare.
Accepting one doesn't require much thought.
Thus, Chen Yiyang had a detailed conversation with the two opposite him.
Chen Yiyang didn't ask for much in terms of shares from Gao Ye's studio.
Gao Ye wasn't expecting many resources from Chen Yiyang, just hoping he wouldn't kick them out of The Longest Day In Chang'an crew.
So, the negotiations went quite smoothly.
Specifics were quickly settled.
Then.
Then everyone went back to their respective homes.
What else then.
Chen Yiyang just wanted to make money, not stir up any other trouble.
