Chapter 579: 573. The crew sets off (Third update)_1

This was actually a department about spending money, and they turned the art of spending money into an art form. In the previous life, Tencent transitioned from a shareholder of LOL to a controlling shareholder and eventually acquired the entire company, all thanks to this department’s work.

Now, Qinghe was the same, originally full of talent within the company, and after establishing this department, the industry started to view Qinghe Group as a hungry wolf instead of maintaining a well of water separate from the river. Some employees who were initially quite green grew with the department and gradually became mysterious big shots in the domestic investment industry.

Many competing companies found themselves inexplicably holding Qinghe Group’s shares, and suddenly, the competition turned into win-win cooperation... Qinghe Group started playing rough!

Life is life, making money is making money; as long as the earnings are legitimate, Ren He didn’t think there was anything wrong with diversifying the ways to make money. Anyway, he didn’t need to worry too much about it now...

An Si couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed as he thought about it. He admired Ren He’s playful spirit; the guy truly lived a gamer’s life, willing to try anything, and thus far, it seemed that everything he tried was a success!

It’s really quite marvelous!

"Haha, we’ll talk when we see each other! Hanging up now!" Ren He sighed with relief. Having An Si to handle everything made his own life much easier, and he felt fortunate to have friends like Liu Erbao, Xu Nuo, and An Si to support him.

The next time they met was when everyone was about to head to Chongqing. Some equipment had already been air shipped over, but some of it had to be transported by themselves. Fortunately, Zhang Ming’s team was professional enough that Ren He didn’t need to handle too much.

Actually, Ren He had always been a hands-off manager at Qinghe Film and Television. He didn’t care how Zhang Ming managed things; as long as the film was shot well, that’s all that mattered with Zhang Ming there.

When An Si saw Liu Erbao, he teased him, "Haven’t seen you in a few days, and you’ve become an actor?"

He was still a bit resentful that Ren He seemed unjust for giving Liu Erbao such a significant role, while he was only given a cameo. Wasn’t he much handsomer than Liu Erbao?! But then Ren He showed him his own original sketches and Liu Erbao’s makeup test photos, and An Si burst into laughter, "It’s alright, Erbao, you do your best. I won’t crowd the scene!"

The character’s image was simply too pitiful to bear... The rough clothing, the greasy hairstyle...

Yet it was such an image that was brought to life by Huang Bo, and Ren He just hoped that Zhang Ming could properly train Liu Erbao to make the character of Black Skin shine.

Upon seeing Ren He, Liu Erbao immediately complained that Zhang Ming was mistreating him! Ren He responded with laughter, showing no interest in sympathizing. Since he had accepted the role, he had to put in the effort required!

In his past life, Ren He knew how hard Huang Bo worked; it would be unfair if Liu Erbao were to easily achieve Huang Bo’s success without the hard work.

This time, Liu Erbao’s team was also part of the filming crew, so in the week before Zhang Ming and others arrived in Chongqing, Ren He and his team needed to complete the skydiving shoot. After all, Liu Erbao wouldn’t be available once the primary filming started.

Everything was set up in Chongqing, and finding a suitable spot hadn’t been easy. The other party was hesitant upon hearing someone was planning a jump from an altitude of 3,800 meters into a sinkhole, but in the end, the power of money prevailed. Upon his arrival in Chongqing, Ren He had to sign a waiver, a precondition set by the other party.

The best pilot was hired, and this time the aircraft was different too, a helicopter, which provided better control over the flying position, giving Ren He more confidence to complete this mission.

An Si went with the film crew, and on the way, he and Liu Erbao drank and played, having the time of their lives.

As for Ren He, because Yang Xi was unsuitable to appear with the film crew, the two of them took a direct flight to the location. Li Shuaizhen, Yang Runrun, and Zhang Jinglin were appearing in roles under such a renowned director as Zhang Ming for the first time, and even Li Shuaizhen was filled with anticipation.

Only after they arrived did they find out that Chen Da had also taken a role, no wonder it was so easy to get time off...

Before, Li Shuaizhen was just hoping to mooch some meat soup from Ren He, but when the time actually came, the three of them realized how generous their powerful classmate really was.

He even recruited Zhang Ming... Unbeatably strong...

The three of them had been somewhat worried about Yang Xi being in the crew; they would be terrified. After all, this queen would rant daily about how poorly they played the game. Every time Yang Xi suggested participating in professional competitions, thinking of these three blockheads would somewhat kill the vibe... But even though they were noobs, Yang Xi had never mentioned wanting to change teammates.

Now, there are countless people who want to game with Yang Xi, but their five-person team remains unchanged.

Learning that Yang Xi wouldn’t be dividing them up brought a sigh of relief from the trio. With someone like Yang Xi around, it was like dealing with an ancestor... Nothing at all like the gentle nature Ren He had mentioned!

Previously, Yang Xi had posted on Weibo: "Sir Knight says, ’All under heaven are full of tender feelings...’"

After seeing this post, Li Shuaizhen had even ridiculed it: Where the hell is the tenderness, is Ren He blind?!

How could they imagine that Yang Xi would cook for Ren He at home, acting all sweet and clingy!

But Ren He couldn’t care less; he wished that Yang Xi would only be gentle with him. That’s what makes a qualified girlfriend. Just like Ren He’s attitude towards Yang Xi, it was also unique.

In fact, within the entire crew, Zhang Ming was the happiest, thinking about being able to do only what he loved, just like Zhou Wumeng, made him feel so exhilarated!

The crew had already departed, and Zhang Ming didn’t know how "Crazy Stone" would fare at the box office, but he was quite certain that Ren He didn’t care much about the box office results. What mattered to him was whether the movie was well made!

When goals align, working together becomes much easier.

However, at this moment, the media, with their keen sense of smell, suddenly discovered that Qinghe Film and Television had been quietly established and was about to start shooting a film.

One of the best-known directors in the country, Zhang Ming, had actually been roped in by Qinghe Film and Television!

Who is Zhang Ming? The dominator of the national prime time slots and at the same time, a box office guarantee on the big screen. Such a director suddenly joining a company was quite surprising, especially one that had just been established.

What kind of offer did Qinghe Group make to persuade Zhang Ming to make such a decision? Was it the cinema chains of Luohe Group? Or the capital of Qinghe Group? Or perhaps neither.

All the media knew that Qinghe Group, this colossus, was growing into an existence beyond everyone’s estimation, and its actual helmsman was only 17 years old this year, right?

An extra thank-you Chapter for rewards.

The updates are slowly coming back; I humbly ask everyone to save their monthly votes for me next month so I can climb back up the ranks. Thank you all in advance.
