Chapter 742: Boss Pei’s Guidance

Pei Qian briefly went through other information that was worth paying attention to after confirming the situation of the GPL league.

The information was compiled and reported by the person-in-charge of the various departments. Some of the information also came from the Manage Loss Trainees who were lurking in the various departments.

In fact, Pei Qian did not ask the heads of the various departments to sort out and report the information. However, these people in charge still reported it consciously because they were worried that something would go wrong with their work.

It was Boss Pei’s business for him not to ask, but it would be their business if they did not report the situations!

To the people in charge, it was a good thing for Boss Pei to give them full power since it represented his trust in them. However, that did not mean that they could do whatever they wanted.

Boss Pei was the highest in command in Tengda Corporation after all. Wouldn’t they be letting Boss Pei down if some projects went wrong, especially since he trusted everyone so much?

Therefore, the heads of the various departments were still very serious and responsible. They reported all sorts of information regularly.

If Boss Pei did not raise any suggestions, everything would go on as per normal. If Boss Pei raised any objections, there would still be enough time for them to change their work plans immediately.

On the other hand, Pei Qian himself had to grasp these information regularly. Otherwise, what would he do if a certain department were to quietly make huge profits?

Thus, he still had to read the contents one by one even though he was very reluctant.

Tengda Games and Fei Huang Workspace should still be fighting to the death with Mission and Choice. What worried Pei Qian more was that the plot of the game and movie was basically in Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce’s heads. Apart from the scriptwriter team and a few others, no one else knew about it.

Even Lu Zhiyao, who was the main actor, could only get the script only when he was about to film a scene. The other staff knew what they were going to do, but they did not know the entire story.

Pei Qian was a little worried, but he was also worried that asking would cause the observer effect.

After hearing that Lu Zhiyao had been the only one filming his part in the green film studio up until now, Pei Qian felt that this sounded unreliable and decided not to ask about it for now.

Qiu Hong was already preparing the incubation base for the independent game creators in Beijing. There was no difficulty in this. Everything should be going smoothly.

Ma Yang was distributing coins on Weibo while doing live-streams. His fans were steadily increasing with a professional team backing him up. He had spent a lot of money but had not earned a single cent. Pei Qian was very satisfied with that.

There was not much worth paying attention to the normal development of AEEIS and the Useful App.

He had also not paid much attention to Liang Qingfan and to the Sloth Apartments for some time now. However, he was probably busy buying a building in the city center to make the Sloth Apartments 2.0 model. At the same time, he was also discussing collaborations with some reliable furniture and renovation brands.

In the investment department, more and more companies were queuing up to be invested. He Desheng was very obedient and strictly followed the first-come-first-served model. He would sell the investment when they were profitable and then invest in the next one.

Simple, rough, and brainless.

Among all the projects that he had invested in, the Cold-Faced Lady had the biggest presence. After the news conference, Meng Chang had relied on his outstanding eloquence to obtain a million yuan investment each from two companies.

That way, Meng Chang would have had a total of four million yuan in investment. He was already preparing to open his shop in the downtown area of Beijing. He should be able to open for business next week if everything went smoothly.

Meng Chang made a rather large commotion which got Pei Qian’s notice but he did not pay much attention.

The reason was very simple. Regardless of whether Meng Chang would succeed or not, he was still in a state of ‘bragging’. Pei Qian did not know how to read minds and could not know his true thoughts. He could only continue observing.

Pei Qian had already decided to leave Dream Realization Ventures to fend for itself. He would not interfere with the investments anymore. Instead, he would strictly adhere to the ‘sell if you make a profit, continue investing if you make a loss’ approach. Thus, Pei Qian could not be bothered to ask too much about the specific operations of other projects.

Other than that, the other departments had more or less made some progress. For example, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Fish-Catching Take-Out had opened a few new branches, Upwind Logistics had opened another batch of courier stations, and so on. Pei Qian took a quick glance and stopped paying attention.

At that moment, Pei Qian’s cell phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was from Zhu Xiaoce.

Pei Qian could not help but frown. Did something happen at the filming location?

“Hello? Boss Pei, I’m sorry to disturb you,” Zhu Xiaoce said over the phone. “It’s like this. Our filming is not going very well. Lu Zhiyao’s acting has reached a bottleneck. He’s not satisfied after filming many times. I don’t have any good ideas either. Boss Pei… could we trouble you to come over and give him some pointers?”

Pei Qian: “?”

It was like witnessing a huge reward for confusing humans.

It was a good thing that the filming was not going well and the effect was not satisfactory. However, what did he mean by asking me to give him some pointers?

Pei Qian was very confused. Lu Zhiyao was a talented young actor after all. He was only one award away from becoming a true Best Actor. Why was he asking him to guide him in acting?

The previous incident with Tomorrow is Beautiful was just a coincidence. How would I know anything about acting!

“I can’t guide him. Goodbye.” Pei Qian hung up honestly.

…

Mission and Choice’s filming location.

Zhu Xiaoce sighed softly and put his cell phone back into his pocket.

Lu Zhiyao’s heart could not help but drop when he saw this. However, he still held onto his last bit of hope and asked, “What did Boss Pei say?”

Zhu Xiaoce shook his head. “Boss Pei said that he can’t guide you.”

Lu Zhiyao could not help but be stunned. He frowned. “Boss Pei said… he can’t guide me?”

He frowned slightly. After some serious consideration, he said, “Boss Pei said that he can’t guide me, not that he did not have the time to or didn’t want to?”

Zhu Xiaoce nodded. “Yes.”

“Eh?” Lu Zhiyao fell into deep thought.

Zhu Xiaoce did not understand what he was thinking either. He asked, “Is there anything wrong?”

Lu Zhiyao nodded. “Of course!”

“If he said that he did not have the time or he did not want to guide me would mean that Boss Pei has the ability to guide me.”

“However, Boss Pei said that he can’t guide me. Does that mean he doesn’t have the ability?”

Zhu Xiaoce nodded. “Yes, that should be what he means from those words.”

Lu Zhiyao said, “That’s a problem.”

“Uncle Zhang has other matters to attend to and has no free time. What’s more, it would not be very appropriate for him to come all the way to Jingzhou just to give me some pointers on my acting skills.”

“But Uncle Zhang definitely has the ability to guide me.”

“According to the filming situation of Tomorrow is Beautiful, Boss Pei’s understanding of acting should be on the same level as Uncle Zhang’s. Boss Pei might not be good at acting personally but he is very good at analyzing the characters through the movie script. He would also dig deeper into the details of the performance based on the plot and character characteristics.”

“However, Boss Pei hasn’t even read the entire script yet. Isn’t it a little strange to say that he can’t guide me?”

“Why did he reject it so decisively?”

Zhu Xiaoce frowned slightly and nodded. “Yes, your suspicions are not unreasonable.”

“If Boss Pei was really not capable enough and could not give any opinions, he should have at least understood the script before coming to a conclusion. However, Boss Pei does not even know the complete script now, only a portion of the information, and yet he is firmly saying that he cannot guide you…”

“I understand now!

Zhu Xiaoce suddenly had an idea. “I think Boss Pei is emphasizing that you have to figure this out on your own. As a bystander and an outsider, I can’t give you much advice!”

“Even if I could guide you in some details and improve your acting skills, it would only treat the symptoms and not solve the main problem!”

Lu Zhiyao was shocked. “Really? Why do you say that?”

Zhu Xiaoce explained, “We’ll have to start from the difference between Tomorrow is Beautiful and Mission and Choice.”

“Tomorrow is Beautiful has a very clear theme. To put it bluntly, the male protagonist you play is just a tool. He is the message that expresses Boss Pei’s thoughts.

“Therefore, you would be able to draw inferences and learn from analogy with just a little guidance from Boss Pei.

“However, ‘Mission and Choice’ is completely different. Its script was actually written by a group of people, and there are many ways to interpret it. Most of the plot in the drama is a one-man show, and it’s all made up of green screens.”

“Therefore, there are actually many ways to interpret the character you’re playing this time!”

“With so many interpretations, it’s hard to say which is absolutely correct, but one of them must be the most suitable for you. No one can guide you on that, you can only rely on yourself to figure it out.”

“There are many classic and outstanding characters in the history of movies. The interpretation of these characters were not on a helicopter view, but on the actors themselves.”

“Obviously, Boss Pei thinks that you have entered this stage. The guidance from a helicopter view can no longer help you improve.”

“You can only rely on yourself now.”

Lu Zhiyao blinked blankly. “Director Zhu, are you sure that’s what Boss Pei meant?”

Zhu Xiaoce nodded confidently. “Based on my understanding of Boss Pei, I can’t say that I’m 100% sure, but I’m at least 97% sure.”

“Therefore, what you have to do now is to believe in yourself.

Lu Zhiyao fell silent.

For some reason, he actually felt relieved.

When he was filming previously, he always felt that he was lacking in something and that his interpretation of the character was not good enough.

Thus, he was always lacking in confidence and his performance was not natural enough.

Lu Zhiyao hoped that someone would be able to guide him like Zhang Zuting and Boss Pei had done before, so that he would be enlightened and be able to solve all the problems in such a ‘mechanical way’.

However, Director Zhu Xiaoce’s call to Boss Pei had sobered him up.

Boss Pei’s words shattered his fantasy and completely eliminated his wishful thinking. Since he could no longer rely on others to guide him, he could only trust himself and try his best to be enlightened!

“Enlightenment” was very mysterious and probably would not lead to an ideal outcome but Lu Zhiyao now had the mentality of cutting off all means of retreat and felt relaxed.

What’s there to be afraid of if even Boss Pei said that I can only rely on myself now?

Lu Zhiyao made up his mind. “Alright! Boss Pei really views problems at the very core. I’ll think about this script for a while more and film again in a few more hours!”
