Chapter 67 Guan Zhilin: I don’t deserve it! (Please subscribe)

Boom boom boom!

"Shiping! Are you up yet?"

Liu Xiaoqing stood outside Chen Shiping's door dressed elegantly and knocked on the door.

In the room, Chen Shiping was woken up in a daze, yawned and went to open the door to see Liu Xiaoqing standing outside.

"I didn't sleep well last night. Can't I sleep without Amin?"

Liu Xiaoqing walked into the room teasingly. He didn't mind the messy bed Chen Shiping slept on and sat on it directly.

"Director Liao called and asked us to go to Yindu in the afternoon. Li Lianjie wants to meet you."

When Chen Shiping heard this, he immediately became energetic. Director Liao was so efficient. Jet Li was going to meet him. It seemed that he was attracted by the script.

"It's still early, let's go out for a walk first, and then go to Yindu." Liu Xiaoqing said, looking at the ladies' watch he just bought on his wrist.

"No, I'll catch up on some sleep and go back in the afternoon. You can go shopping by yourself."

As he spoke, Chen Shiping fell on the bed and refused to get up. Liu Xiaoqing was also helpless. Is there no man in the world who likes to go shopping?

Seeing Chen Shiping's lazy look, Liu Xiaoqing didn't bother to call him and went out shopping alone.

However, Chen Shiping hadn't slept for a few minutes when the phone in the room rang again.

This time it will definitely not be Chicken Tou. Chicken Tou will get off work after eight o'clock in the morning.

Chen Shiping crawled over and picked up the phone, asking a little listlessly: "Hello, who is this?"

"Hello, Mr. Chen, I am Guan Zhilin. I am at the Regent Hotel now."

A slightly playful female voice reached Chen Shiping's ears, immediately driving away all his sleepiness.

Did Guan Zhilin come directly to the hotel? ?

Chen Shiping was a little surprised that her Mandarin was pretty good. Since both her parents came from the Xiangjiang Mandarin Film Company and spoke Mandarin, her Mandarin was naturally not bad either.

Chen Shiping immediately sat up, cleared his throat and said, "Hello, Miss Guan, please wait a moment, I'll be down right away."

Guan Zhilin chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I'll wait for you in the coffee shop on the first floor."

After another polite word, Chen Shiping hung up the phone, got up, washed briefly, put on his clothes and went downstairs.

Dong Liao is so efficient! Yindu still has cards.

In the cafe downstairs, Guan Zhilin was wearing a black retro wide-brimmed hat, and the only makeup on his face was a pair of sunglasses and bright red lipstick.

Chen Shiping saw Guan Zhilin from a distance, and he could recognize her at a glance because of her outstanding temperament.

Guan Zhilin crossed his legs and supported his chin with one hand and recognized Chen Shiping, not because he had seen the photo, but because he did not look like a Hong Kong person in what he was wearing.

Chen Shiping's appearance is not much different from that in the photo. There is nothing surprising about Guan Zhilin. I just feel that he is very energetic, like a bamboo sprouting from the ground. He does not look like an elegant scholar at all.

Chen Shiping walked up to Guan Zhilin, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Miss Guan."

"Hello." Guan Zhilin stretched out his hand and shook it lightly with Chen Shiping before retracting his hand.

Chen Shiping sat down and saw that she had already ordered coffee, so he reached out and asked the waiter to order a cup for himself.

Looking at the beautiful Guan Zhilin, Chen Shiping did not chat and asked directly: "Miss Guan, have you read the script and are you interested in this movie?"

"I'm interested." Guan Zhilin looked at him with his chin propped up, and said slyly: "But I haven't read the script yet, and I don't know the name of the movie."

Chen Shiping: "." How could you be interested if you haven't read the script? !

"Miss Guan, please wait a moment while I go upstairs to get the script."

As he said this, Chen Shiping was about to get the script, but was stopped by Guan Zhilin.

"Mr. Chen, just talk to me directly, it won't be so troublesome."

Hearing Guan Zhilin's words, Chen Shiping felt a little bad. He didn't even read the script, which showed that he was not interested. It seemed that he was just giving face to Director Liao. But he still has to fight for it. Guan Zhilin's Thirteenth Aunt is still a classic.

After Chen Shiping sat down again, he said, "Since Miss Guan likes to hear people talk about scripts, that's no problem."

"The background of the story takes place in Foshan in the late Qing Dynasty, and it tells the story of Huang Feihong."

Guan Zhilin held up his chin and looked at Chen Shiping as he told the story seriously. He felt that he was quite handsome, mainly because he didn't look at her with lustful eyes like other men.

If she were not confident about her appearance, she would doubt whether she was unattractive.

Chen Shiping was really not in the mood to appreciate beauties right now, he just wanted to get the role decided quickly.

If Guan Zhilin is not interested, he will have to give Lin Qingxia a try. This time he cannot come to Hong Kong just for an investment of one million.

Without the participation of Xiangjiang actors, how could it be considered a co-production? How could we later propose to the factory the establishment of a co-production department?

When will Director Chen be able to get a director who doesn't like her? Appreciating beauty is not as important as getting promoted. After becoming the director of the co-production department of Beijing Film Studio in the future, it won't be too late to appreciate her slowly! !

Chen Shiping still understands the principle of having a full meal!

Ten minutes later, Chen Shiping finished telling the whole story. After taking a sip of coffee to refresh himself, he said to Guan Zhilin seriously:

"Aunt Thirteen is a very good character, not a flower vase. She is knowledgeable and thoughtful, independent, tenacious, has ideals and great love. She is Huang Feihong's ideological guide. I hope Miss Guan will seriously consider it!"

Guan Zhilin also thinks that this character is very good and the story is exciting enough. It is not like Hong Kong's movies, which are either romantic, spoof or sentimental.

Most importantly, she was curious about such a positive character as Thirteenth Aunt, why would Chen Shiping choose her?

"Mr. Chen, can you tell me why you chose me?" Guan Zhilin asked very curiously.

"Because of your temperament!"

Chen Shiping paused for a moment and explained: "Your temperament has the classical beauty of China and the independent and avant-garde temperament of Western women. Most actresses in Hong Kong have too much Hong Kong flavor and rarely have classical beauty."

After hearing Chen Shiping's explanation, Guan Zhilin subconsciously put down his crossed legs.

She had no idea that Chen Shiping would comment on her like this. If she hadn't been sitting across from him, she would have doubted whether he was talking about Lin Qingxia.

"Do you really think so? Does Mr. Chen pay attention to the news in Xiangjiang?" Guan Zhilin suddenly asked unconfidently.

Chen Shiping nodded lightly and said, "I understand, but that's not important. I only believe in my own eyes. In my eyes, Miss Guan is who I say she is."

Guan Zhilin looked at the serious and sincere Chen Shiping, and saw no deliberate flattery or lies. A flash of surprise flashed in his heart, and he unconsciously sat up straighter.

No one has ever commented on her like this, especially after the frequent scandals in the past two years, everyone feels that she has changed from a beautiful girl to a lustful girl.

Guan Zhilin suddenly didn't know how to face a role like Thirteenth Aunt. She felt that she was not worthy.

Chen Shiping's compliments made her a little unable to face it. She would rather Chen Shiping chose her because she was beautiful.

"Mr. Chen, I want to think about it." Guan Zhilin suddenly picked up his handbag, stood up and said, "I will reply to you as soon as possible. Sorry, I have to leave beforehand."

After saying that, Guan Zhilin left. Chen Shiping looked at her back and couldn't help but sigh.

He complimented her so seriously, but she still had to think about it! Is it because they didn’t mention the remuneration?

The key is that he didn't give him a chance to say it. This girl ran too fast.

Chen Shiping felt that his sincere speech just now was a bit wasted. Such words could not win over Guan Zhilin. It was indeed not easy.

Thinking of Guan Zhilin's previous love affairs, Chen Shiping felt that it would be better to talk about the salary directly in retrospect. What he did just now may be more suitable for mainland actors.

Outside the hotel, Guan Zhilin ran out and looked up at the sun, wondering why the sun was so dazzling today.

But the sun shining on her body felt so warm, as if the inferiority complex in her body had been driven away.

No woman doesn't care about her reputation, she just pretends to be strong sometimes.

Guan Zhilin took off his sunglasses and squinted at the sky, enjoying the sunshine at the moment.

Suddenly she couldn't help but turn back and look at Chen Shiping in the coffee shop through the floor-to-ceiling windows.

The sun was shining right on his white shirt, making it so bright that it seemed to be glowing.
