Chapter 212: The Crazy Chen Pingsheng



Liu Yifei was dressed in a black trench coat.

Unexpectedly beneath it, she was wearing a blue and white striped plaid shirt from the nineties.

With her rustic dress matching her wavy curls, she was naturally cool and peerless.

Chen Pingsheng had a very good impression of her, perhaps also because he enjoyed watching her TV dramas when he was younger.

The main reason Liu Yifei scheduled time with Tengying was that Tengying Entertainment had never produced a project that lost money in the entertainment industry.

In the ten years since her transition into movies,

aside from gaining the title of box office poison, she hadn't achieved anything else.

Till now, she was still relying on her past popularity to maintain her status.

Bai Xin received her, and Liu Yifei felt that this girl seemed familiar.

She seemed to have seen her on a plane, and after arriving at the CEO's office of Tengying Entertainment, many people in the circle said that Tengying's boss was one of the least like a tycoon in the entertainment industry.

He never participated in entertainment circle events.

The only time was because he went to meet Yang Mi, and then she became an artist under Tengying Entertainment.

After that, no matter how grand the entertainment circle's events were, as long as an invitation was sent his way, it would end without a trace.

No one dared to say anything.

At that level, if he wanted to reject an invitation, he would reject it.

There was absolutely no need to notify you, that was the hardcore strength of a real tycoon.

Not at all like these artists, who have to find the most suitable reason to refuse even if they really don't want to go to someone's invitation.

Moreover, the boss of Tengying's business was involved in many areas, and the entertainment industry was just one of them.

The luxury beauty salons that stars in Capital City's entertainment circle love to frequent are also owned by his family.

Whenever Liu Yifei came to Capital City, she would often go there for facial treatments or buttocks maintenance.

A toned buttocks could be created not only through hardcore physical training but also through high-end beauty services.

Apart from her average sense of fashion, it seemed she had no other shortcomings.

"Yifei sister, do you remember me? I asked for your autograph on the plane."

Bai Xin turned into a little fangirl, thrilled with her real-time star-chasing.

Liu Yifei thought hard but still couldn't recall.

Too many people had asked her for an autograph.

In terms of popularity, she was definitely higher than Zhao Liying.

Not much different from Yang Mi.

Liu Yifei tilted her head, thinking, but still couldn't remember.

Now the one who felt awkward was her.

After all, she was at someone's door and couldn't even remember the boss's secretary asking for her autograph.

How could that not be awkward?

Liu Yifei chuckled, and Bai Xin touched her nose.

Inside the CEO's office, Chen Pingsheng was looking at the next script Zhao Liying had picked for Bai Lu.

The total investment was 1.3 billion, an S+ production.

A return on investment of 210%, not bad.

Zhao Liying really had a good eye for selecting scripts.

Chen Pingsheng called her, told her to invest the whole 1.3 billion and to just focus on filming without rushing back.

As for the actress Bai Lu,

she was quite remarkable in her acting skills for her young age, barely over twenty.

1.3 billion was nothing.

Tengying had earned a whole six billion from the movie Charlotte.

With a box office sharing ratio at 33%,

more than two billion in ticket sales meant over six billion came to their side, netting a six billion profit after deducting costs.

Now that Tengying had sold 40% of its shares, he was also unable to use Tengying's money privately for other purposes.

That would be embezzlement.

Tengying's money could only be genuinely spent on Tengying Entertainment projects.

Of course.

He didn't need to move that kind of money anymore.

The days of constantly lacking liquidity were over.

Now he always had two billion in cash ready in his own account.

Liu Yifei, who had just entered the door, overheard this conversation.

It was widely said that the boss of Tengying Entertainment was very capable, she didn't expect that a project worth 1.3 billion didn't require his artists to discuss it.

Just a nod and the funds were allocated for the project to start.

Liu Yifei felt it was quite right coming to Tengying, and after removing her sunglasses, she took another serious look at Chen Pingsheng.

To her surprise, he was the person she had encountered twice on the plane.

Moreover, he was not like other men.

The men who usually met her either lacked real capability and purely wanted an autograph,

or had some capability and wanted to show off in front of her.

He did not do any of that.

When she said she wanted to rest, he really hadn't bothered her again thereafter.

He quietly let her rest, which was quite classy.

Indeed, as the rumors in the entertainment industry said,

he wasn't interested in other women, showing affection only for his wife.

"Hello… I am Chen Pingsheng, your fan."

Liu Yifei only learned his name today after meeting him twice, and she was quite surprised.

However, since he was a fan of hers, then cooperation should be easy to discuss.

It turned out she might have misunderstood.

Liu Yifei wanted to star in a Tengying Investment fully-funded movie project.

Simply put, she wanted box office success, urgently needing to prove herself to the market.

However, Tengying Entertainment's current investments were almost exclusively for in-house artists.

They hardly invested in external projects anymore.

And she didn't have a script, while Chen Pingsheng didn't produce scripts either.

Tengying didn't even have its own screenwriters, nor did it allow artists to bring scriptwriters into the production privately.

If a project he likes turns unprofitable after you change it,

where would he go to complain?

For instance, if the female lead plays an empress, you insist she can't kill anyone or engage in palace fighting, just a kind pure white lotus,

and with such foolish alterations, a profitable project turns into a loss.

Thus,

Tengying Entertainment has strict rules, once joining a production, one must follow the director and the original screenwriter's directions.

It absolutely doesn't allow situations where an actor's status leads to modifying the script.

"I wonder what it would take for me to star in a movie fully invested by you?"
