Chapter 836: Chapter 308: Acting Arrogant in Front of Yang Chen, the Entire Penguin Division Bans You_3

Wang Heng: "Why can’t you fire him? Is he a relative of yours?"

Manager Chen: "I wish I were related to him, but I don’t have that kind of fortune! Also, even if you’re the manager of the Content Department at New Power Media, you can’t influence me. So, what, you want to meddle in Mi Tuan’s management now? Stop calling, or I’ll escalate this and let Chairman Wang have a word with you. Chairman Wang has a temper; even Jinghua University couldn’t escape his wrath, so don’t make trouble for yourself."

After speaking, Manager Chen hung up the phone.

Wang Heng immediately flew into a rage and cursed, "Damn it, a measly local manager is this arrogant! If he were the department manager at Mi Tuan headquarters, he’d think he was a god! Damn this shameless dog!"

Wang Heng initially wanted to use his New Power Media manager status to pressure a local manager at Mi Tuan but ended up being lectured instead.

The more Wang Heng thought about it, the angrier he got. He found an excuse to drive to the set intending to confront Peng Zhenzhen face-to-face.

Zhang Xiaoyun, seeing Wang Heng arrive, immediately dashed into his arms pitifully and whined, "Honey...you’re finally here. I’ve been bullied so much I want to die. So many extras and crew members mock me. Boo hoo..."

Wang Heng: "Okay, don’t cry, babe. I’ll go settle this for you right now! Damn it, they dare refuse the person I pushed in, Peng Zhenzhen must be out of her mind!"

With that said, he stormed over to Peng Zhenzhen with Zhang Xiaoyun in tow.

Peng Zhenzhen: "Oh, Manager Wang, you’re here. Why didn’t you tell me in advance? I would’ve come to greet you."

Wang Heng: "Director Peng, drop the act. Didn’t I specifically tell you to arrange a role for Xiaoyun? Even if it’s just a few minutes, she must have dialogue with the main leads. That’s what I said, right?"

Peng Zhenzhen nodded and explained, "Originally, I thought she was a professional actress, and adding a temporary role wouldn’t hurt. The problem is she’s not a professional. I asked her to perform a scene where she sees a corpse, and she couldn’t even do that right. This is a Republic-era series with repeated corpse scenes. If every other actor can provide the proper response except her, the audience will immediately see the gap. If the film loses its reputation and box office because of her, I won’t be able to answer to the many investors."

Wang Heng: "Stop trying to scare me with investors! Do you still want this film shown on Penguin Video? If you want it on Penguin Video, you have to do as I say. Otherwise, I’ll call Vice President Cheng Leyun, and this film won’t be on Penguin Video. What acting skills? The audience doesn’t care about acting! They just want good-looking actors!"

Peng Zhenzhen: "Manager Wang, if you put it that way, I can’t continue this conversation. You should talk to our boss at Star Entertainment, Mr. Yang Chen."

Zhang Xiaoyun was suddenly shocked; Yang Chen is the owner of Star Entertainment?

No wonder Peng Zhenzhen listened to him so well.

Is this guy nuts?

He’s the owner of Star Entertainment, so why is he still driving rideshare and delivering food?

Wang Heng didn’t care at all; how can a mere Star Entertainment compare to New Power Media?

You have to consider the owner when you hit a dog; the dog may be worthless, but the owners are more impressive than one another, so nobody dares touch that dog. That’s Wang Heng’s logic.

Even if he’s not the chairman or the CEO of New Power Media, merely a department manager, he’s not afraid of Star Entertainment because the companies behind him are so powerful.

Wang Heng scoffed unconcernedly, "Where is he? Does a small-time owner from a third-rate film company dare to flaunt in front of me? That’s hilarious."

Peng Zhenzhen pointed at Yang Dami’s RV and said, "He’s chatting with Yang Dami now."

Wang Heng sneered, "Ha! A mere Star Entertainment owner trying to woo Yang Dami, how ridiculous!"

With that, he headed over with Zhang Xiaoyun.

Zhang Xiaoyun, feeling mischievous, called Wang Zuoyun.

Soon, the call connected.

Wang Zuoyun: "Xiaoyun, what’s wrong again?"

Zhang Xiaoyun: "You better come quickly; your boyfriend is about to get into trouble. I’ll send you the location; if you’re late, you’ll miss out. Hehe..."

After saying that, she sent Wang Zuoyun the location.

"Today, I’ll make you beg me, and we’ll see who’s really outstanding!" Zhang Xiaoyun thought triumphantly.

Growing up, she was always compared by the villagers to Wang Zuoyun and never won, but this time she finally could.

Meanwhile, Yang Chen and Yang Dami were discussing which novels would be suitable for adaptation into films.

They’ve already preliminarily selected three novels: "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms," "Fuyao," and "You and the Spring Breeze Are Both Passersby."

Yang Dami will play the lead in all three novels, while other roles will be determined by the investing companies.

However, Yang Chen is definitely going to push Yanni, his junior, into a supporting role and try to secure the director’s decision rights.

With the actors and script decided, the quality of the work hinges on the director’s ability.

For example, the same actors in a Zhou Xingxing film will shine even if they play bit roles.

But with the same actors directed by others, the effect won’t be the same.

Therefore, Yang Chen has long advised Yang Zhen to prioritize securing directing rights when collaborating with other companies.
