At seven o'clock in the morning, the wind blew in from the half-opened window and opened the off-white curtains.
The sky was gray, and the light rain fell on the lake, causing ripples to appear in circles.
On the soft and comfortable big bed, Ji Yunxi propped herself up and got up.
Everything in front of her seemed to be shrouded in mist, she couldn't help being in a trance, rubbed her temples, and looked around the room.
Familiar but unfamiliar layout, this is her villa around the scenic spot, outside is the famous Yuanyang Lake in City A.
Ji Yunxi got up, opened the curtains, and looked at the rainy sky outside.
She seemed to have had a long dream last night, and at this moment there was an illusion of what happened today.
The cell phone on the bedside table suddenly rang, Ji Yunxi concentrated, took the cell phone and checked the time before connecting.
It was her assistant who called: "Mr. Ji, the director of "Kishi Yu" called. He has sent a series of production plans to your mailbox, please take a look. In addition, the producer and director are thinking about this See you in a few days. Mr. Ji, your schedule from 2 to 3 pm on Wednesday is still empty, do you want to book it at this time?"
Ji Yunxi took the phone, opened the bedroom door, and went to the living room while thinking.
On the phone, the assistant did not make a sound, quietly waiting for a reply.
After thinking about it for less than a minute, the memory became clear, and all the hazy feeling disappeared.
Sheng'an Investment Company is currently the most powerful investment company. She was promoted to general manager last month and holds equity in her hands. She is highly valued by the old chairman and the board of directors.
Sheng An has been devoted to real estate, new energy, and high-tech fields in the past few years, and has established a firm foothold.
But Ji Yunxi has never been satisfied with the status quo, she plans to enter the film and television industry.
"Gan Yu" is Sheng An's first project, and Ji Yunxi is in charge of it.
She poured a glass of water and took a sip: "Just book this time."
The assistant replied immediately: "Yes, President Ji."

Seven days later, in a group rental room outside the film and television city, three men and one woman with beautiful faces were eating a lunch box.
The group rental environment is not very good. There are two bunks in one room, adding up to four beds. It looks cramped and crowded. There is not even an air conditioner. In the winter, people shiver.
Despite this, two men and one woman were still wearing fashionable and thin clothes, except for the one in the corner, wrapped in a down jacket with the zipper pulled to the top, covering half of the chin.
He lowered his head, and the hand holding the disposable chopsticks was delicate and slender, but it was slightly red from the cold.
This was the seventh day that Wu Weian had crossed into this world. After waking up seven days ago, he pondered for a long time.
It seems that some things can't be remembered no matter how much he thinks about them. In the end, he can only remember that before he entered this world, he happened to be in Shangjing with his father's second brother and the others.
On the second day, I was going to a banquet with my younger brother Wu Weining, but I opened my eyes and came here.
The body he has now is not much different from the one he had in Dayu. The height and appearance are the same, but the clothes are different.
During these seven days, Wu Weian borrowed the memory of the original owner and assisted him with his mobile phone, and roughly figured out the current situation.
This body is also called Wu Weian. He is a student of the Film Academy, but four years after graduation, he can only run the same routine in various film and television production crews in the film and television city, and achieve nothing, and spend a day in this group of rented houses. owed a lot of debt.
The man who was eating thought of this and sighed lightly.
How to go where, is the life of debt?
Hearing his sigh, his companion Tang He also sighed: "Recently, I really haven't gone too far. I ran several crews without anyone."
The cousins who slept on the bunk on the opposite side looked at each other, and a smile flashed across the corners of their mouths.
Yu Han looks seductive. In his freshman year this year, not long after he entered the film school, he took advantage of the winter vacation to go to his cousin and wanted to try it in the film and television city.
Her cousin Yu Yang face is also very good-looking. He has just graduated and is four years younger than Wu Weian and Tang He.
Brothers and sisters Yu Yang and Yu Han are ambitious and always look down on Wu Weian and Tang He.
Both of them have graduated for more than four years, and at the age of twenty-seven, they can only eat boxed lunches, and they are no different from trash.
The siblings ate their lunch, opened the door and walked out.
Wu Weian listened to Tang He's nagging, looked at the two brothers and sisters who obviously knew what was going on, put down the lunch box, got up and followed out.
He feels that he is still very good at acting, and it is not difficult to be the actor they call him.
What is lacking now is opportunities and resources.
Outside is the living room, and there are two other rooms for men and women who want to be big stars.
Yu Han and Yuyang went to the bathroom, where he put on makeup in front of the mirror and discussed in a low voice.
Yu Yang: "Is what your senior sister said true? The crew of "Kishi Yu" is really casting roles recently?"
Yu Han: "It's true, but it hasn't been fully disclosed to the public, and not many people know about it. Senior sister has the contact information of the casting director. I'm coming over. We'll go to the Internet cafe later to get our resume ready and send it over. Brother, Don't tell other people about this, because there are too many people who know about it and compete with us for roles."
Yu Yang: "Don't worry, your brother knows."
In the entertainment industry, there are more monks and less flesh, so he was stupid to reveal the news. At this moment, he doesn't remember at all. When he first arrived in the film and television city, Tang He and the others often took him to run the crew and shared all the information of the crew with him.
Yu Han looked at the two faces in the mirror.
In the family, they don't look bad.
She has a charming face and a hot body. Yu Yang's facial features are three-dimensional and deep, and he is tall.
She is still a freshman, and it's not normal for her to be red. But Yu Yang has been graduating for almost half a year, and there is no program appointment, which is not normal.
Yu Han looked at Yu Yang: "Brother, why aren't you popular yet?"
Anger flashed across Yu Yang's face: "I get angry when I mention this. You know the variety show "Idol Group", right? I was already selected, but I was kicked out for no reason. They have unspecified male stars, and they simply refused to let me participate because they were afraid that I would steal the spotlight."
Yu Han took out his lipstick and painted blushing full lips in front of the mirror: "Brother, our family is just an ordinary family, and we can't fight against those who have people behind us. We can only rely on ourselves."
Yu Yang grabbed his hair: "I know, I will perform well in the audition. Maybe the male protagonist of "Kishi Yu" can be won by me."
Yu Han curled his lips slightly: "Brother, with your looks, as long as you are willing, many investors will not reject you."
Yu Yang has a superior physique since he was a child. He has been held all the way, and his heart is arrogant: "Yu Han, what do you mean? I'm not interested in old men and women!"
Yu Han ignored her brother and continued: "I heard from senior sister that the biggest investor in "An Yu" this time is Sheng'an Investment Company. This project is under the responsibility of President Ji."
Yu Yang: "If you want to sleep, go to sleep by yourself. Sooner or later, I will become popular. I don't rely on this."
Yu Han took out his phone, opened the photo album, and said, "If President Ji likes women, do you think it's your turn?"
After speaking, she put the phone in front of Yu Yang.
Yu Yang was about to say something when he caught a glimpse of the person in the album and was stunned.
The woman in the photo has a well-cut professional attire, a noble and glamorous face, and looks no worse than those actresses in the entertainment industry.
…
"What are you looking at?" After Wu Weian returned after eating halfway, he stared at the phone page for a long time, and Tang He leaned over curiously.
He looked at the person in the photo: "Who is this?"
Tang He knew all the male and female star directors in the entertainment industry well. He didn't remember that there was such a woman in the industry.
Newbie
Now the newcomers are really better than each other, and each one is better than the other.
Wu Weian exited the photo page: "Mr. Ji, who just took office in Sheng An Investment."
Tang He didn't react much when he heard the words, he was only familiar with the entertainment industry.
Wu Weian: "The biggest investor in Kishi Yu."
The lunch box in Tang He's hand snapped and fell to the ground: "!!"
"Kishi Yu", he knows, the original is a very popular novel. Although the director and screenwriter are not famous directors and screenwriters, their reputation has always been good. With such a configuration, as soon as the film project filing public information came out, the entire entertainment industry was boiling.
Everyone wants to get a role in it. And it is rumored that many top actors also want this role. It is said that this movie has a big hit, and it is very likely that there will be a double harvest of awards at the box office.
Wu Weian slowly threw out a sentence: "'Kishi Yu' is currently casting. Based on the current situation, no matter how well we perform in the audition, it will not help."
Seven days is enough for Wu Weian to understand a lot of things.
Essentially, everything in the world changes without changing the medicine.
Take his Wu family's transfer to Shangjing as an example. His father has indeed done a good job these years, but have officials in other prefectures and counties done a poor job
Why did his Wu family get promoted? Because Wu Weian's influence network has been spread to Shangjing.
The same is true for the casting of "An Feather". Wu Weian is self-taught when it comes to acting, and he has not overturned the car over the years. No matter what role, he can get hold of it. But the problem is that with such a big project, everyone wants to get a piece of it, and the water is even deeper.
Therefore, at the moment, Wu Weian wanted to find an opportunity to have a cup of coffee with Mr. Ji.
Tang He's jaw dropped when he found out: "Weian, you, you, you want to..."
He was too embarrassed to say it!
Wu Weian slowly finished the half-eaten lunch.
Kind of unpalatable.
Strange to say, he has never been a picky eater, as long as he can eat it. The Wu family was poor, and he didn't live a good life.
But now, he actually dislikes it a little bit. And what was even more strange was that he somehow felt that Ji Yunxi in the photo was very familiar.
I had never seen it in my memory, but it was very familiar.
Tang He persuaded: "Weian, we are not like Yu Yang and the others. We are outstanding in appearance. We are from strength! Gold will always shine, and we will surely become popular one day. Go to President Ji, in case you are rejected, in the future Why are you still in the circle?"
Wu Weian smiled at Tang He, took out his hat, put it on, and went out.
Tang He was slightly taken aback.
I always feel that Wu Weian is not the same as before.

In the most luxurious hotel conference room in City A, Ji Yunxi and several other investor representatives sat together and listened to the report of the producer and director.
There are seven to eight companies as investors in "Kishi Yu", but the main contributors are only the four participating in the conference. Among them, Sheng An represented by Ji Yunxi contributed the most, and the others can be ignored.
After the director finished the plan, he said: "President Ji, President Ye, President Yang, President Ming, the cast will start casting roles next weekend, and it will be in the conference room on the third floor of the hotel. How many of you would like to come and see? "
Ji Yunxi replied, "I will send someone over when the time comes."
So did the other three bosses.
When the meeting was over, everyone left.
Ji Yunxi was the first to leave, and President Ye stayed last.
After waiting for the others to leave, Mr. Ye closed the plan in his hand and looked at the director: "Director Qi, Meng Li will also come for the audition for the male lead next week, do you know that?"
Ye was always the general manager of Kangtai Entertainment, and Meng Li was under Kangtai. In recent years, Meng Li has been very popular in the TV drama circle, and now he wants to enter the film circle.
President Ye naturally wanted to push Meng Li.
For the novel "Gan Yu", Kang Tai had long been waiting to buy the film and television copyright, but unfortunately, Sheng An Investment pre-empted it when he was ready to start the process.
I don't know why investment companies that have been devoted to real estate and new energy technology all year round come to the film and television industry.
Moreover, the general manager of such a large investment company is actually a woman.
Mr. Ye didn't really look down on Ji Yunxi anyway.
Whoever pays is the father. For Director Qi, these four are fathers.
Director Qi is not a famous director, so to be able to direct "Kishi Yu" in person, he always said that it was a piece of shit luck.
He smiled with a good attitude: "Yes, Mr. Ye. We have seen Teacher Meng's resume."
Mr. Ye nodded. He stood up and patted Director Qi on the shoulder: "We can all see Mr. Meng's acting skills and popularity. Director Qi understands?"
That Ji Yunxi is a layman. From the preparation of the project to the present, she usually does not express her opinion very much, but only proposes to audition when it comes to casting.
Originally, Mr. Ye didn't plan to open the audition for the male lead, and he decided Meng Li, but Ji Yunxi said so.
The copyright of "An Yu" is invested in Sheng'an, and Sheng'an's investment is also the largest. President Ye has no choice but to agree.
But in the end it is a woman, or a layman, who does not understand the twists and turns of the film and television circle.
The audition is just the audition, anyway, the male lead is still Meng Li.
Sure enough, Director Qi agreed: "We believe in Teacher Meng."
Meng Li's conditions in all aspects are really good, and Director Qi is quite happy to let him play the male lead.
His directing ability is not bad, it can be said to be very good. But it has not been popular all these years because the leading actors in the play are too bad.
But there is no other way. As for the actor, a director like him who has no connections can only listen to your investment dads.
All he can do is to try his best to make the whole movie well in the cast list given.
And Meng Li, the male protagonist, is much better than the candidates given by the other fathers.
Yes, every investment dad has had tea with Director Qi in private, except for Ji Dad.
Ji's father is very busy, and Director Qi wants to find her for tea, and he has to make an appointment a week in advance.
If Kim's dad... dad was just like Dad Ji who only paid and didn't tell the truth, he would have won the Best Director Award long ago.
He's not going to be called - the best scene, the worst actor story.
Director Qi stroked his sparse hair and sighed.

There, Ji Yunxi returned to the company after the meeting.
In the quiet and unoccupied underground parking lot, Ji Yunxi closed the car door and walked towards the elevator with his bag.
After walking a few steps, she stopped and glanced aside.
After a car, a figure slowly walked out.
The man was tall, wrapped in a black down jacket and wearing a baseball cap, his face hidden under the brim, so he couldn't see clearly in the dim parking lot.
Wu Weian stood in front of Ji Yunxi.
He looked at her quietly, stretched out his hand and hung it in the air, his voice was as clear as jade: "Hello, Mr. Ji, my surname is Wu, Wu Weian."
Ji Yunxi looked at the hand in front of him and was slightly taken aback.
Then she concentrated, did not shake him back, raised her head and said coldly, "You are not an employee of Sheng An."
Wu Weian chuckled and retracted his hand: "I really am not."
Sheng An's parking lot, not employees and invited people, is not allowed to enter. Ordinary people would not barge in and squat on her for no reason. Those who came to squat her all wanted to get some convenience from her.
Ji Yunxi has encountered this situation a lot over the years.
The one in front of me is pretty good, at least it's just in the parking lot.
Once in the past two years, when Ji Yunxi returned to the hotel room after socializing, there were more people on the bed for no reason.
When encountering such a situation, Ji Yunxi was too lazy to deal with it and called the security directly.
But for some reason, this time she didn't. She was not disgusted by the person named Wu Weian in front of her.
Ji Yunxi: "Then you can go."
She bypassed him and continued toward the elevator.
The high-heeled shoes fell to the ground, making a dab-da-da sound, circling in the empty parking lot.
Wu Weian put his pockets in his pocket and followed her: "Mr. Ji, I heard that you are the biggest sponsor of the movie "Gan Yu"."
Ji Yunxi's eyebrows moved slightly, and she understood everything in her heart: "So what?"
Since Sheng An's investment, many people have contacted her secretly to ask about casting.
Ji Yunxi refused one by one.
She is an investor, not a director, and she has other big projects in her hands. "Kishi Yu" is not important enough for her to do everything herself.
But Director Qi recently hinted at something to her. For example, he played golf with Mr. Ming recently, and an actor was there. The actor had just acted in a movie some time ago, and the word of mouth seems to be not very good, and so on.
Ji Yunxi understood what Director Qi meant, but she didn't plan to intervene now.
It's still too early. After the audition, let the other presidents fight for a result. Seeing the final list, it's not too late for her to solve it.
Wu Weian's voice called Ji Yunxi back from his thoughts: "I want to ask President Ji to do me a favor."
The elevator door dinged open, and she walked in: "I don't like helping."
Wu Weian stretched out his hand and blocked the elevator door that was about to be closed: "Then exchange of interests."
Ji Yunxi raised her eyes, looked at the man in front of him with a handsome figure, and still couldn't see half of his face, and smiled: "What benefits do you have for me to exchange?"
Wu Weian took off his hat, and a face fell into Ji Yunxi's eyes.
The face in front of me is not the stunning type, but it is very comfortable, like water.
He raised his eyebrows slightly, and ripples appeared on the water.
Wu Weian stepped on the elevator, leaned aside, stretched out his fingers, and promoted himself one by one.
"1. I was born in a major and has solid acting skills."
"Second, my face is very new and will not create a preconceived image for the audience."
"Three, a good movie, the protagonist is very important. The fire of "Kishiyu" is good for you and me."
"Fourth, after that, I will do whatever President Ji wants me to do."
"As for President Ji, you just need to give me the opportunity to audition and let the casting process proceed based on your strength. Isn't this cost-effective for President Ji?"
His eyebrows and eyes drooped slightly, his words were intimate, and his smooth hair made him look like a book, pure and well-behaved.
But the words he said were completely opposite to his temperament at this time.
Ji Yunxi's eyes flashed slightly.
She had read the script of "Kishi Yu". If this person plays the male protagonist in the play, think about it, he would be a good fit
But the most important thing is that this person always has a feeling of deja vu.
Ji Yunxi weighed it for a moment, the corners of her lips raised slightly, but she simply said, "That's okay."
