Chapter 2465 - 2260: Bring Your Company's Most Attractive Actress Over_2

"Nice to meet you, Director Zhou."

"Hello, hello!" Zhou Yuan sized up Shen Jiayan, nodding with satisfaction.

"Hmm, not bad, good physique, distinct and upright features, nice demeanor and character, promising, work hard!" Zhou Yuan said to Shen Jiayan.

"Thank you, Director Zhou."

"Alright, everyone sit down, sit down and talk. This is Miss Zhang, Zhang Lijiao." Zhou Yuan introduced Zhang Lijiao, and after everyone got acquainted, they began to sit down for a meal.

"Director Zhou, are you planning to shoot a new movie anytime soon?" Song Xiaodong asked Zhou Yuan.

"Mr. Song, to be honest, I am, but I originally intended to collaborate with Boss Niu and CEO Wang, do some product placement, like get some sponsorships. Boss Niu hasn't given me an answer yet, and CEO Wang doesn't even plan to let me through the gate, let alone anything else." Zhou Yuan sighed and replied.

"Director Zhou, if you're short on sponsorships, you can always reach out to me." Song Xiaodong comforted Zhou Yuan.

"Do you know, Mr. Song, what kind of product you'd want me to place?" Zhou Yuan asked Song Xiaodong.

"I haven't decided yet. Right now, I have a beverage factory in Minghe, there are other businesses under my name but they don't particularly need large-scale promotion like product placement in films."

"As for the beverage factory, I haven't quite decided how big I want it to be. It's still in the investment phase, and I'm afraid to make any big moves because I fear losing money." Song Xiaodong replied.

"Oh... Actually, I'm not sure when I'll shoot my next movie either. When I get started, I can reach out to Mr. Song, if Mr. Song is interested, we can talk about collaboration then. As for today, with Shen Jiayan, Miss Shen, whom you introduced to me, Mr. Song, I can give you my word in advance, she'll be the female lead in my next movie, acting opposite Miss Zhang Lijiao. What are everyone's thoughts on this?"

"We've already agreed on it, so what opinion would we have? Just make sure I have plenty of scenes without labeling me as the villain where I appear for three seconds only to be instantly defeated by the protagonist. I want to be the kind that lives till the end, the big boss." Zhang Lijiao playfully said to Zhou Yuan.

"Alright, alright, I'll make you the big antagonist, the female demon, but if the audience criticizes you or fans harass you after the movie is released, don't blame me." Zhou Yuan said to Zhang Lijiao.

"I'd actually welcome that!"

"What does Miss Shen think?" Zhou Yuan asked Shen Jiayan.

"Director Zhou is willing to give me an opportunity, and I will definitely cherish it." Shen Jiayan replied softly.

"Yes, it's crucial to have a suitable attitude." Zhou Yuan nodded.

"But Director Zhou, we should clarify beforehand that she's a legitimate artist from our company, so don't have any ulterior motives." Song Xiaodong said meaningfully to Zhou Yuan.

"Of course, of course, I know my limits." Zhou Yuan agreed repeatedly.

"That's good, that's good. Now let's have our meal."

"Alright!"

After Song Xiaodong, Zhou Yuan, and Zhang Lijiao left, Wang Siqi, Ma Jiayi, Wang Shangjin, and Yu Yuan climbed to the mountain top to meet with Master Futian.

Master Futian greeted Wang Siqi and the others warmly, invited them into the meditation room, served fragrant tea, and waited for Boss Niu.

"Why hasn't Boss Niu shown up yet? We're all here, right?" Wang Siqi asked Master Futian.

"CEO Wang, I'm really sorry, Boss Niu instructed me beforehand to host you all here. He's currently in a conversation with provincial leaders, might take a while, please be patient." Master Futian replied to Wang Siqi.

"Hmm, Boss Niu is truly the industry leader, even receiving provincial leadership meetings, making us lesser figures in the circle feel proud!" Wang Siqi said, glancing around at the seated bosses large and small.

"Indeed, Boss Niu and CEO Wang are pioneers and leaders in our online shopping industry, giving the physical economy tremendous impact, overturning industrial structure and management models, causing resentment, especially among those small bosses clinging to physical economy investments." Wang Shangjin praised Wang Siqi while belittling Song Xiaodong.

"You can't say it like that, competition between online and physical is quite normal, physical definitely has advantages that online doesn't, just look at clothes sales, physical stores have fitting rooms, sales associates, those are things online can't offer." Ma Jiayi said to Wang Shangjin.

"Of course, the service provided by physical sales is incomparable to online, but their attitude change is only recent, all because of the market share loss caused by our online transactions that stimulated them. In other words, we broke their geographic monopoly, forcing them to improve service attitude." Wang Shangjin retorted to Ma Jiayi.

"Alright, stop arguing, this is a conversation between Internet company CEOs, we're here to seek business opportunities, not discuss competitive advantages between online and physical." Wang Siqi expressed his impatience.

"Right, right, CEO Wang makes a valid point."

As they were chatting, Boss Niu finally finished communicating with provincial leaders and entered the meditation room.

"Ah, Boss Niu, you're finally here, we've been waiting for quite a while!" Wang Siqi saw Boss Niu, quickly stood up from his stool, and rushed over in a few quick steps to shake hands with Boss Niu.
