"Director Zhong, you are so handsome." Song Qi looked at Zhong Yu, both flattering and sincerely praising him.
Her upper body leaned forward, and her small V-neck was slightly open, revealing a little of the scenery inside, which was vaguely visible.
Zhong Yu smiled and said, "Everyone says so."
After chatting in vain for a while, Song Qi revealed her purpose and wanted to treat Zhong Yu to a meal.
It was also six o'clock at this time. She chose this time to visit because she wanted to invite Zhong Yu to dinner again.
Only when we go out to eat and play do we have the opportunity to make real requests.
Unfortunately, Zhong Yu was not interested in Song Qi. He shook his head slightly and declined: "Sorry, I have personal matters tonight."
"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Song Qi was a little disappointed, but still behaved politely.
Then, Song Qi stood up and left.
This is not surprising, nothing happens overnight.
Moreover, Zhong Yu is too handsome. Handsome men often have beautiful women around them. Her attractiveness is greatly weakened in front of Zhong Yu.
Song Qi left with her back foot, and Shuo Jin knocked on the door with her front foot and came in.
"Captain, how are you doing?" Shuo Jin asked a little obscenely.
Zhong Yu laughed a little and shook his head: "What can we do? We didn't talk about business at all, just nonsense. She wanted to invite me to dinner, but I refused."
"Why?" Shuo Jin asked in confusion, "Such a good opportunity."
Zhong Yu probably understood what Shuo Jin meant, and said seriously: "I will basically not interfere in the casting of the first female lead in "This Shooter is Cold". Let professionals do professional things."
"Captain, your idea is right, but the reality is not what you think." Shuo Jin calmed down and expressed his opinion, "Song Qi can't solve the problem by looking for you, she will continue to look for Jiang Bai, the director and so on. "
Jiang Bai is the director of the company's online drama department.
"If you don't interfere, you are giving up your rights."
"I know you have a big picture, but currently online dramas are still very important to the company. For such an important matter, I suggest you still keep a close eye on it."
"Take "We Are the Champions" as an example. Originally, the protagonist was not Ning Shang, who you played, but they found Ge Nan, forcing you to modify the script and change the protagonist."
"You wrote the script of the new online drama, and you already have a big say in the casting."
Zhong Yu couldn't help but think deeply as he listened.
Web dramas are the company's strategic direction. The first "We Are the Champions" established its reputation. If the second one is poorly made, the reputation will be destroyed in an instant.
After a moment, Zhong Yu raised his eyes and said, "I understand, thank you for reminding me."
Shuo Jin regained his smile: "It's better if you don't be nagging."
"I will personally select the first heroine in the new online drama." Zhong Yu said, "You can continue to contact Song Qi, and I will give her a fair chance."
Shuo Jin: "Okay."
The two continued to chat for a while.
Suddenly, Shuo Jin's cell phone rang. He took it out, took a look at it, and said to Zhong Yu, "It's Song Qi's call."
Zhong Yu smiled and said, "Go pick it up. I'm getting off work too."
Two or three minutes later, Zhong Yu closed the office door and took a few steps towards the elevator when he suddenly heard the sound of the door closing behind him.
He turned around and saw that it was Xu Qingcheng.
"Director Zhong." Xu Qingcheng shouted happily and quickly caught up with him.
Zhong Yu nodded and said, "Mr. Xu."
Then, he said: "It's just right to meet you. I have to personally check the casting of the first female lead in "This Shooter Is Cold"."
"Okay." Xu Qingcheng responded immediately without any doubts.
While speaking, she approached Zhong Yu without revealing any trace, almost making physical contact with Zhong Yu.
After driving away from the company, Zhong Yu had dinner outside and then drove back to Blue Diamond Villa.
At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhong Yu received a call from Tang Hongling. She had received the script for the large-scale costume drama.
"Is it an electronic version? If it's convenient, send it directly to my mobile phone." Zhong Yu said.
It just so happened that he had more free time tonight.
A few minutes later, Zhong Yu received the script from Tang Hongling on his mobile phone.
The script is called "The Splendid Prince", with more than one million words and more than sixty episodes.
Zhong Yu copied the script to the computer and read it.
There are no laptops in Blue Diamond Villa, but there are desktop computers, although they are all gathering dust.
Two hours later, Zhong Yu finished reading "The Splendid Prince".
He closed his eyes and thought for a while, then opened his eyes and shook his head.
In his opinion, this script is very average and not very good, and the heroine's character is not good either.
The investment in this kind of script exceeds 200 million and is suspected of money laundering.
Turning off the computer, Zhong Yu picked up his phone to read the message.
When he was reading the script just now, he heard a message being received on his phone, but he was focused on reading the script and didn't read it for the time being.
When I opened my phone, it was a message from WeChat. When I opened WeChat again, it was Catherine.
The message from Catherine showed that she had boarded a plane from New York to Shanghai and arrived in Shanghai more than twelve hours later.
Looking at the time, he had missed the reply time because Catherine had already flown into the sky.
However, he still replied and said he would pick up the plane.
Putting down the phone, Zhong Yu felt a little complicated.
The next morning, Zhong Yu had classes, in the second period, but he took leave because he had to pick up Catherine from the airport.
In the morning, he went to the club.
Tang Hongling also came to the club today.
Zhong Yu called Tang Hongling to the office to discuss the script.
He expressed his views on "The Splendid Prince" without reservation, and then said: "I suggest you not to participate in "The Splendid Prince". Just wait patiently. After the final two seasons of "We Are the Champions" are aired, That's when you're most popular, and maybe better resources will come to you."
"Okay." Tang Hongling responded, "Thank you, Brother Yu."
Later, facts proved that Zhong Yu's judgment was completely correct. "The Splendid Prince" claimed to have invested 300 million, but it was a complete failure and was scolded by the audience. Tang Hongling was very happy to listen to Zhong Yu's words.
Zhong Yu smiled and shook his head: "It's just a script. There is no need to be polite between you and me."
"Yeah." Tang Hongling nodded harder.
The next moment, she suddenly left her sofa, sat next to Zhong Yu, hugged one of Zhong Yu's arms, and said coquettishly: "Brother Yu, write me a costume drama script."
"Will you spare me?" Zhong Yu smiled bitterly.
"If you write to Bingfeng, if you don't write to me, you don't like me anymore." Tang Hongling pouted her delicate red mouth and pretended to be angry, looking very cute.
Zhong Yu laughed and said, "What kind of jealousy are you feeling? Bingfeng is a man, is there any comparison?"
"Moreover, the investment in costume dramas is huge, and it is impossible for our company to invest in it. Even if I wrote the script, no one would invest in filming it."
"In addition, costume drama scripts need to be researched and cannot be written randomly. For example, there was no chili pepper for a long time in ancient times. It was only introduced into the country during the Qing Dynasty."
Tang Hongling then asked: "Then write a modern script."
Zhong Yu thought for a while and said: "That's all, I'll try to write a costume fairy script. But there's no guarantee when it will be finished, so don't have any hopes."
Ancient costume fairy tales have a wide audience, and many top actresses have their backgrounds in costume fairy tales.
"Thank you, Brother Yu! You are so kind to me!" Tang Hongling happily hugged Zhong Yu's arm tightly and tilted her beautiful little head to rest on Zhong Yu's shoulder.
In fact, she wanted Zhong Yu to write a script specifically for her.
