Chapter 103: Heart-to-Heart Talk on the Hillside

The two leaned against the railing on the hillside road.

Seeing Lu Kuan searched his previous life's memories. Because he had basically no contact with Liu Yifei's business, his understanding of her was not particularly deep.

But in his impression, he almost never heard her say these sad memories to the media.

When talking about parents and family, she always gave gratitude and warmth.

Is this considered suffering? How can it not be?

Seeing Lu Kuan smiled: "These are your insights into life. Take acting as an example. An excellent actor must have different life experiences."

"You have to travel ten thousand miles, read ten thousand books, work hard, and labor your muscles and bones."

"You have to observe the status and image of different characters around you at all times, deal with people in different industries, cry, and laugh."

"Go through a relationship, experience the pain of a breakup, make some delicious food by yourself, and taste the taste of food."

"All of this will eventually merge into your performance, becoming your muscle memory and psychological memory, allowing you to better shape characters and grasp the chain of action."

Liu Yifei pursed her lips and nodded. She understood Seeing Lu Kuan's meaning.

She was indeed too young. Now she could only play roles whose character images were relatively consistent with her own.

She suddenly turned her head: "What about you?"

"What about me?"

"You were a Daoist two years ago. You haven't experienced much more than me! Why do you know so much?"

Boss Lu instinctively wanted to light a cigarette.

My suffering has reincarnated for forty years in my previous life, and it is still vivid in my mind.

"I started fortune-telling for people when I was 10. I see a person, I can see her eight sufferings in life, I can see her present and afterlife, of course I know more."

This was too exaggerated, and Liu Yifei naturally didn't believe it.

She stared at Seeing Lu Kuan's angular side face, and suddenly felt a flash of inspiration.

"Little Lu, you look like a time traveler."

A thunderclap in the summer exploded, startling both of them. This was the prelude to a thunderstorm.

Seeing Lu Kuan was startled in his heart, but remained calm on the surface.

"How do you say that?"

Liu Yifei smiled: "Just like *Love Across Time* and *A Step into the Past*, there are one after another ideas in your head, as if nothing can stump you."

*Love Across Time* was released in the mainland in May this year, and together with the 2001 *A Step into the Past*, it opened up the brain hole of time travel for the Chinese people, and it has been out of control ever since.

"I'll ask your senior brother next time if there was any strange phenomenon of nine stars in a row when you were born!"

Boss Lu joked: "You guessed it right, I am actually a time traveler."

"Then do you know me in that time and space? What am I like?"

Seeing Lu Kuan hesitated, not knowing what to say.

Maybe you were infinitely beautiful in that time and space, but you also had to face slander and rumors everywhere.

Whether you were bitter or sweet in your heart, outsiders naturally wouldn't know.

"You weren't a star before time travel, and I didn't know you."

"Maybe you just went to college quietly, fell in love, got married and had children, and lived a plain life."

Looking at her experience of retiring from the circle for various reasons in her previous life, what's wrong with being an ordinary person happily?

"Ah, it's raining!"

Hong Kong has a subtropical monsoon climate, with a lot of rain in summer. The two had already walked a long way, so they hurriedly turned around and went down the mountain.

Boss Lu looked at Liu Yifei, who was wearing a thin white sweatshirt, and instinctively wanted to tease her.

"Little Liu, are you cold? Do you want a coat?"

Liu Yifei looked at him in surprise. Why is this dog man so gentle to her today? Was he possessed by something dirty?

"No."

"Oh, I'll use it."

Seeing Lu Kuan grabbed the white sweatshirt in her hand, covered it on his head, and rushed into the rain curtain with a big laugh.

Only Liu Yifei was left jumping with anger behind, wiping the rain on her face and following.

Liu Xiaoli soon arrived in Hong Kong to gather with her daughter, and Seeing Lu Kuan was relieved to take A-Fei north, and was even scolded by Huang Pi.

Made money and poached people.

Of course, he still didn't want to offend such a big client, but no matter how much he inquired with Wang Minhui, the latter refused to reveal his background.

August 27, 2002, Hanghua Science and Trade Office Building, Beiping, Wenjie Culture Media Company.

The spotless new rented office was about 500 square meters, which obviously exceeded the actual usage needs of the current Wenjie Culture.

But Boss Lu, who had a heavenly eye, knew that the office building rent would skyrocket year by year following housing prices and land prices, so he simply rented it for five years at once.

If Wenjie couldn't buy or build an office space in five years, then Boss Lu would have mixed worse and worse.

On the eve of the expedition to Venice, Seeing Lu Kuan summoned all current company employees to hold the first internal meeting.

Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. The Wenjie Culture Media at the starting stage now has a rudimentary organizational structure.

Boss Lu sat at one end of the office desk, turning a fountain pen in his hand, listening to Sun Wenwen read the appointment notice.

Looking at every employee he personally recruited and laid out, Seeing Lu Kuan felt as if he had returned to his previous life, thinking of himself who was waving his arms in the public relations company.

"Okay, everyone be quiet. Each unit and department, decided by the company's research."

"Establish a first-level agency president's office, and appoint Sun Wenwen as the president's assistant."

"Establish first-level agencies for the Finance Department, Legal Department, and Human Resources Department. The relevant work is temporarily represented by Sun Wenwen."

Sun Wenwen's head felt a bit dizzy when she read this. If it weren't for the 12,000-a-month salary mentioned by Boss Lu, this master of the Law School of Renmin University could have cried on the spot.

Although each department has basic employees, she is the one who coordinates the work.

"Establish a first-level agency for the Artist Agency Business Department, and appoint Lu Yao as the general manager of the business department, and Yang Siwei as the general manager's assistant (intern)."

"Signed artists Zhang Songwen, Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo."

Zhang Songwen's acting skills are far from mature in later generations and still need to be exercised and hammered.

Wang Baoqiang can perform some roles with high fit in his true colors, and his acting path is relatively narrow at present.

Huang Bo is a talented player, just cultivate step by step.

These are also the four roles scheduled for *Crazy Stone*.

Lu Yao was poached by Seeing Lu Kuan from the *Shenjiang Service Guide*. He is still young, but Wenjie Culture doesn't have many artists for the time being, so let's grow together.

"Establish a first-level agency for the Copyright Management Department and Media Operations Department. The relevant work is temporarily represented by President Lu."

No one knows better than him about hoarding copyrights.

The Media Operations Department still needs to continue to poach people, responsible for the media publicity work of the company, artists, and film and television works across all channels.

"Establish a first-level agency for the Film and Television Production Department, under which there are departments such as film, television, drama club, and variety show production."

"Signed director Ning Hao, President Lu himself."

The film and television production department is usually a labor-intensive department, and larger film and television production companies have their own fixed teams.

Smaller companies only have backbone teams, and then hire directors, photographers, and other professional personnel when there is work.

With the current size of Wenjie Culture, of course, it is still light-asset operation, and many departments have not been established.

Even Seeing Lu Kuan's own movie is using the shooting team of Qingying Factory.

The so-called supporting war with war, training with war, company development and talent cultivation must also be carried out in practice and actual combat.

Most employees and artists are very confused, not knowing why they were favored by Seeing Lu Kuan.

But it doesn't delay them from actively leaning toward this young director whose debut work entered the main competition unit of the Venice Film Festival.

Especially yesterday's first dinner, Seeing Lu Kuan invited Tian Zhuangzhuang, Zhou Jielun, Feng Yuanzheng, and others who were preparing to go to Venice together.

There were also Zhang Jizhong, Zhou Xun, Zhang Yadong, Fan Bingbing, Liu Bei, and other entertainment industry figures who came to congratulate and sent flower baskets and blessings.

These all let everyone see a corner of their boss's connections in the entertainment industry, which is very helpful for improving employee confidence and cohesion.

But the cultural and artistic circles ultimately rely on works to speak. Seeing Lu Kuan looked at the budding Wenjie Culture with gratification, looking forward to this trip to Venice.
