Chapter 61 Zhou Gongzi and Zunlong
Long-distance Media does not have a holiday for the Chinese New Year this year. First, the company has a film on the Lunar New Year file, so we must keep an eye on it. Second, the company still has movies in progress.

But the wages are not less.

On the 19th, two days before the New Year's Eve, Cheng Lingfeng returned from France.

"I really didn't expect Zhang Manyu to be so difficult to serve!" Cheng Lingfeng started to complain about her trip to France as soon as she entered the office and dropped her bag.

Cheng Yu'an sat on the boss's chair and said, "No way, I heard from my friends in Hong Kong Island that apart from her bad temper, she is quite a nice person, and she is also serious and dedicated to the show."

"I didn't talk about Zhang Manyu herself, but her management team. I said everything, and I didn't give in at all."

"Have you played mahjong with her?" Cheng Yu'an said.

Zhang Manyu is one of the most famous mahjong enthusiasts on Hong Kong Island, and she plays whenever she has time.

"Yes, we played mahjong with her for two days, and we lost [-] dollars to her back and forth." Cheng Lingfeng said.

"Isn't that nice?"

"It was good in the beginning, she liked the script of "Warm and Containing Light" and she wanted us to talk to an agent, and she took it after the deal was settled.

"Good guy! Her agent asked for 2500 million. Treat us like fools.

"We talked to them, and I said that although our company was founded not long ago, Cheng Yu'an is now the hottest young director in the mainland, and the box office of the three films is very good. Before I could finish speaking, her agent said, 'We Maggie is now an international superstar, and the mainland is not a big director like Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige. We will not accept it easily. If you want to accept it, this is the price.” You didn’t see the face of that person at that time. If I didn’t ask for something, I would have turned around and left. gone."

Cheng Yu'an was amused to hear it, and asked, "What happened next?"

"What's next? After a few days of grinding, the other party just won't let go, so he can only come back in such a dispirited way." Cheng Lingfeng was still full of anger when talking about this matter.

"Okay, okay, Zhang Manyu can't do it, let's find someone else, there are so many good actors." Cheng Yu'an comforted, "I thought about it before, if Zhang Manyu can't pick up who we should turn to."

"Who?"

"Master Zhou." Cheng Yu'an said.

"Hello! I like her too!" Cheng Lingfeng laughed.

"Okay, I'll contact her now, I hope she hasn't come home yet." Cheng Yu'an picked up the phone as he spoke.

"Hello, Miss Xun."

"Hey, who am I talking about, Director Cheng Da." The iconic duck voice.

"What's the difference between a big director and a big director? Let me ask you something, are you going home for the New Year this year?"

"Don't answer, just stay in the capital. Why, what do you want me to do?" There was a sniffing voice from the phone, as if he was eating noodles.

"I'm looking for you to make a movie. I don't know if you have time." Cheng Yu'an said.

"'Ambient Contains Light'?"

"Ah."

"Aren't you looking for Zhang Manyu?" Mr. Zhou said.

"She's too expensive, we can't afford to hire her." Cheng Yu'an said honestly, Mr. Zhou is not the kind of person who would mind.

"Would it be cheaper to cooperate with me?" Mr. Zhou smiled.

"You are much cheaper than Zhang Manyu." Cheng Yu'an deliberately angered her.

"Hey, you talkative!" He took another sip of the noodles, "Bring the script over tonight, I'll read it first."

"Okay." Cheng Yu'an was about to hang up the phone when Mr. Zhou said again:

"By the way, bring 5 catties of pork and 5 catties of mutton. Let's eat hot pot."

"Your family has no food."

"I'm not at home all year round, and the vegetables I bought have been spoiled for a long time. My house now only has one stove and one basket of charcoal. You can watch and buy some food. That's it, I'll go to bed first. Suck-hiccup!"

Then hung up the phone.

"Has she always been like this?" Cheng Lingfeng had relatively little contact with Mr. Zhou.

"That's it for her. It's settled. I'll go there at night."

"The heroine is looking for Mr. Zhou, do you have someone to choose the heroine?" Cheng Lingfeng said.

"With Zhou Xun, we definitely can't find a newcomer, and we need to find someone who is a little older." Cheng Yu'an said according to the protagonist he wanted.

"How is Teacher Hou Changrong?"

"No, Mr. Hou Changrong's appearance is enough, but his popularity is not enough." Cheng Yu'an denied.

"On the plane back," Cheng Lingfeng began to say something out of tune, "I just watched a movie when I couldn't sleep, and I happened to see "The Last Emperor"..."

"You mean Zun Long?" Cheng Yu'an knew what she meant as soon as she heard it.

"Yeah!" Cheng Lingfeng nodded, "He's so handsome!"

"Zunlong has the appearance and international reputation. Is he in China now?"

"It should be. I heard that he has been making some domestic films in the past two years."

It's okay not to mention this, but when it comes to this, Cheng Yu'an remembered that Zun Long was indeed cheated into making many domestic films in recent years.

The most famous one is "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview 5" coaxed by Deng Jianguo's big mouth.

In addition to the investors, this drama has changed from actor to director!
Throughout the "Kangxi Weifu Private Interview" series, the audience watched the four leading actors Zhang Guoli, Deng Jie, Zhao Liang and Hou Kun.

As long as there are many thoughts, Zun Long will not be deceived.

"Try to contact Zun Long, I like him too." Cheng Yu'an said.

…………

"No, how many people do you have?" Cheng Yu'an was shopping for vegetables at the vegetable market with his mobile phone between his ears, "Uncle, give me two catties of that green vegetable."

Young Master Zhou on the opposite side said, "I, Kun'er are also here, together with Xia Yu and his wife, Hailu and my friend. Buy more meat."

"I got it, I got it, you put it here to buy!" Cheng Yu'an muttered, "How do you sell this beef? Is it fresh?"

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Cheng Yu'an stuffed a Xiali's ingredients and drove to Mr. Zhou's small courtyard.

The car stopped firmly at the door, and Cheng Yu'an slammed on the door: "Come out a living person!"

"Here we come." The voices of Chen Kun and Xia Yu sounded from inside the door.

Cheng Yu'an opened Xiali's trunk, and the entire trunk was stuffed with fruits, vegetables, chicken, duck and fish:
"How about it, don't treat you badly."

"terrific."

While moving things, Cheng Yu'an glanced at the corner of the wall not far away, and found two sneaky people.

Ask Chen Kun in a low voice: "Who is this?"

"Reporter, I've been squatting for several days. It's such a cold day, and it's Chinese New Year. I don't know what to draw."

"Look at me." Cheng Yu'an smiled, and walked towards the corner after speaking.

When the two reporters saw Cheng Yu'an approaching, they panicked and quickly pretended to be busy.

"Stop pretending, it's not cold, you guys." Cheng Yu'an pointed at them.

"Hey, Director Cheng." The two reporters clearly knew Cheng Yu'an.

"Which media are you from?"

"Heart wave." The reporter did not shy away from it.

"It's a cold day, and you guys are really dedicated. Why don't you go in and have a drink?" Cheng Yu'an invited.

"No, no." The two reporters quickly refused.

"Wait a minute." Cheng Yu'an said and walked to the canteen next to him.

"Don't come out and squat on the news for the New Year's Eve, come here, here are you two." Cheng Yu'an stuffed a pack of cigarettes for each of the two reporters, "I'm here to talk to Sister Xun about the heroine of "Warm, Warm and Containing Light" , The news is for you, and you have written some of it, so let’s go back.”

"Hey, thank you Director Cheng." The two reporters were overjoyed when they got the news, thanked them and left.
