Chapter 540 You Don’t Even Want to Call Me Husband
"Have you signed the contract?" Wang Shu asked at the right time.

"We're all going to join the crew next month. Do you think you've signed the contract?" Sun Li's complaining voice sounded.

"Then there is no other way. Since we have signed the contract, we have to join the group." Wang Shu continued, "This is not a matter of losing money. If we refuse, we will not only lose money but also offend people."

Sun Li knew all this without Wang Shu telling her.

If we reject the drama "A Chinese Odyssey" at this time, we will not only offend the crew, but also Xiaoma Pentium.

Sun Li also didn't want to offend Xiaoma Pentium, so she stopped cooperating with her.

"It would be great if your co-production could be cast and filmed by the end of the year." Sun Li sighed.

"What? Are you so confident that you can get the role?" Wang Shu deliberately teased.

"Of course." Since it was a phone call and not face to face with Wang Shu, Sun Li was very brave.

"Ah? How come I didn't know you could get the role?" Wang Shu continued to tease.

"Hehe, you don't need to know." Sun Li.

Anyway, there was a scheduling conflict, so she was still joking.

She would say this, but in fact she has extravagant hopes deep in her heart.

In this way, she hoped that Wang Shu would postpone the schedule of the co-production and wait until she finished filming "The Treasure Box".

By then, she will have time to participate.

As for getting the role, she is really confident.

She felt that with her relationship with Wang Shu, as long as she asked Wang Shu, there was no way he would refuse.

Wang Shu knew that the topic should end here. If he continued to tease Sun Li, it might make her feel uncomfortable. So he changed the subject and asked, "Are you home alone now?"

"Yes." Sun Li responded.

"Do you want to go out for a midnight snack?" Wang Shu asked.

Sun Li was silent for a while after hearing this, and then said, "I want to manage my figure and not eat midnight snacks."

"Heh." Wang Shu chuckled. "Before, you called me and asked me to have dinner with you, but now I asked you to have a midnight snack and you said you need to manage your figure."

Sun Li blushed a little when she heard this, and said, "Didn't you say you were going with Deng Chao? Deng Chao is not here."

"So, you don't have to manage your figure when you're with Deng Chao, but you have to manage your figure when you eat with me alone, right?" Wang Shu joked.

"Oh, I can't argue with you." Sun Li bit her lip.

"Then why did you and Deng Chao invite me to dinner?" Wang Shu asked knowingly.

"You know." Sun Li replied softly.

She didn't believe that Wang Shu didn't know the reason, and knew that the other party must be asking this question on purpose.

"I don't know." Wang Shu pretended to be ignorant. "Since you want to manage your body, forget about the dinner."

After these words came out, Sun Li fell silent. She pouted and said, "It's Deng Chao who wants to get the role, okay?"

"Hehe, Deng Chao wanted a role, so you arranged a dinner party for me. I invited you for a midnight snack, and you said you needed to manage your body, right?" Wang Shu replied in a sad tone.

Sun Li felt guilty when she heard this. She felt that this way of treating Wang Shu differently really hurt him. She felt bad and bit her lip and asked, "Where are we going for a midnight snack?"

More than an hour later, Wang Shu and Sun Li met in the sparsely populated suburbs.

The two did not go to the store for a midnight snack, but Wang Shu packed some food.

Sitting in the car, Sun Li looked at the interior with surprise and asked in surprise: "Is this the new car you bought?"

Wang Shu opened the folding table and said with a smile, "In Hollywood, many artists have their own RVs. I think they are very useful, so I ordered one when I returned home."

"My car is actually a nanny car, which is far inferior to the RVs of those Hollywood artists."

"Many people there have converted train compartments, which not only have all kinds of facilities but also have their own private space."

For example, Emily's RV needs to be transported by trailer every time it joins the crew.

Sun Li nodded. She had also heard that many Hollywood stars brought their own RVs when they joined the crew to film.

Nowadays, nanny cars are more and more common in film and television crews in mainland China, and the atmosphere is no longer like that of a few years ago where everyone sat on the ground and gathered together.

"Would you like to eat? I bought some barbecue." Wang Shu put the packaged barbecue on the folding table.

Sun Li took a look and wanted to eat, but she said, "You eat it. I will be filming next month, and I need to strictly manage my figure now."

Wang Shu heard this and didn't try to persuade him. He smiled and said, "Then I'll eat it myself. Don't drool over it later."

Sun Li rolled her eyes at him when she heard that.

It is inevitable that you will be greedy.

Because female celebrities use the most primitive method to manage their body shape: starvation.

There is no exercise to do.

If exercise causes you to grow muscles or changes the shape of your face, etc., then this is a big problem.

So, even if you exercise, it’s only a small amount.

A small amount of exercise will not help you lose weight.

The only effective and simple way is to diet.

When people who are dieting see other people eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks, their stomachs will definitely growl with hunger and their mood will become irritable.

While eating, Wang Shu glanced at Sun Li. The other person's Adam's apple moved, obviously swallowing saliva.

Seeing this, Wang Shu smiled faintly and asked softly, "Do you want to eat?"

After hearing this, Sun Li just glared at Wang Shu fiercely and said nothing.

Wang Shu smiled and said, "I'm only joining the group next month. I shouldn't gain much weight if I eat less. It's okay."

This makes a lot of sense, and Sun Li has been shaken.

In order to manage her figure, she not only eats light food but also eats small amounts every day, so as not to gain weight before joining the group.

In this situation, your stomach will always be hungry, and when you see delicious food, you will instantly feel very hungry.

She wanted to eat very much, but she was holding on by sheer willpower.

If you don't have willpower, you can't control your body.

Now when she heard Wang Shu's words, it was as if a voice said to her in her ear: It's really okay, it won't be a problem to eat less, just eat less today and don't eat in the future.

These sounds lingered in her ears, and Sun Li couldn't help swallowing again.

"It's really delicious. It's okay to eat a little." Wang Shu's voice sounded again.

Sun Li felt full of temptation when she heard it. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva again. Finally, she couldn't help but hum, "Eat less if you want."

Wang Shu laughed when she heard that. The tone sounded as if someone was forcing her.

Sun Li picked up the skewer and put it in her mouth. She chewed it for a while and swallowed it. She praised with bright eyes: "Where did you buy it? It's really delicious."

Wang Shu smiled when he heard this and said, "It's not that this is delicious, but you have been on a diet all the time. If you suddenly eat these things, even if they taste ordinary, you will think they are delicious."

He was not just saying this; it was the truth.

Sun Li rolled her eyes at him and ate happily.

Although she wanted to eat, she still controlled her body's desire to manage her figure and didn't eat much. After eating, Wang Shu took Sun Li's hand.

Sun Li glared at him and said, "Didn't we agree not to do this again? Why don't you listen?"

"Who made you so beautiful?" Wang Shu said sweet words, then pulled her over and hugged her.

Sun Li neither resisted nor agreed, and looked helpless.

Don't be fooled by the helpless expression on the surface, in fact, he is just being reserved.

Because as long as there is no resistance, it already explains everything.

Not only that.

The fact that Sun Li agreed to come here in the middle of the night explains everything.

Wang Shu then placed his hand on the plain surface. If he hadn't been wearing underwear, he wouldn't have been able to feel the bulge.

Sun Li pouted and hit Wang Shu's hand, signaling him to take his hand away.

Not only did Wang Shu completely ignore her, he also took the opportunity to hold Sun Li's head and kissed her.

After kissing for a while, they separated their lips and looked at each other.

Wang Shu suddenly said in a soft and affectionate voice: "Lili, don't you want to call me husband?"

Sun Li was stunned for a moment when she heard this, bit her lip, and finally did not speak.

These two words were so shameful that she found it hard to say them.

Seeing this, Wang Shu sighed with disappointment.

Sun Li saw everything and felt bad. She took the initiative to kiss Wang Shu on the lips, then leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Fuck me!"

I really can’t say the word “husband”.

Even if I lay down on my own initiative, I couldn't shout out.

This is the bottom line.

6 month 18 day.

"Yang Wei, I heard that Director Wang already has a script for the co-production and will start casting soon?"

Wang Jinhua found Yang Wei and asked.

"Ah? Sister Hua, where did you hear this?" Yang Wei was stunned for a moment and asked back subconsciously.

He had previously made a cameo appearance in "Life of Pi" and heard the conversation between Wang Shu and Deng Chao carefully, and knew that Wang Shu was indeed going to put co-production on the agenda.

He kept this matter in his heart and did not reveal it to anyone else.

Even though he was an artist under Wang Jinhua, he did not reveal it to Wang Jinhua.

Wang Jinhua smiled and said, "Director Wang introduced the people from the Hollywood film company Fox to Mr. Han and his team yesterday. I heard that they were discussing co-productions."

"Then I heard that Director Wang mentioned putting the preparation of a co-production on the agenda when he was on the set of Life of Pi, so I want to ask you, did you hear Director Wang mention this when you went to the set before?"

When Yang Wei heard this, he knew the news would spread quickly, so he nodded and said, "I heard that Director Wang did talk about preparing for a co-production, and also said that the actors would be selected through auditions."

Wang Jinhua got a positive answer and did not blame Yang Wei for knowing about this matter early on but not telling her.

Compared with other people, Wang Jinhua is not only more tolerant towards her artists, but also thinks from the artists' perspectives, and has always strived to achieve the concept of win-win cooperation.

Yang Wei knew about this but didn't tell her, and she understood it in her heart.

"Do many people know about this?" Wang Jinhua asked immediately.

Yang Wei told the truth: "Deng Chao and I joined the crew at the same time. Deng Chao asked about this matter and Director Wang answered. It was at this time that I knew that Director Wang was going to put the co-production on the agenda."

"So Deng Chao also knows about this?" Wang Jinhua asked subconsciously.

"Yes." Yang Wei answered without comment.

Wang Jinhua thought for a moment, then chatted with Yang Wei for a few more words before leaving.

She knew in her heart that many people should have received the news by now.

After all, just because Yang Wei didn’t say anything doesn’t mean that Wanda and Shanghai Film Group won’t say anything after yesterday.

To her surprise, as far as she could tell, there was not only one more Fox, but also one more Light.

Fox is one of the eight major film and television companies in Hollywood. Its participation will be beneficial to the distribution in overseas markets.

Therefore, Wang Jinhua could understand the addition of a Fox.

But if there was one more ray of light, she couldn't understand it.

This co-production has the participation of China Film Group, Shanghai Film Group and Wanda Film Group, so there is no shortage of investment.

How does the light squeeze in?
Could it be because of the friendship between Wang Shu and Wang Changtian?

Thinking of this, I felt something was wrong.

If it is really a friendship, then why didn't Wang Shu have long-term cooperation with Guangxian in the past? On the contrary, this time, Guangxian was clearly not involved, but suddenly it was involved again after several months?
Wang Jinhua couldn't figure it out, and then she stopped thinking about it. Anyway, no matter what the involvement was, it had nothing to do with her.

She found Li Xiaolu and said, "Xiaolu, I just asked Yang Wei, Director Wang is indeed planning to shoot a co-production soon."

"I heard him say that actors are still selected through casting."

Li Xiaolu was surprised when she heard this, then curled her lips and said, "It's called a casting, but it's not an internal decision. You are not unaware of the unspoken rules in the industry."

Wang Jinhua ignored Li Xiaolu's complaints and said with a smile: "That's someone else. Director Wang will still choose the actors."

Seeing that Li Xiaolu wanted to refute, he immediately continued: "Although he has selected actors for some film works, he is at most the male and female protagonists from the mainland. The other roles are basically selected through auditions."

"So this is an opportunity for you."

"If I can seize the opportunity and get the role, I might be able to step onto the international stage like Zhang Ziyi."

Li Xiaolu is now a popular TV actress. Her future career plans are similar to those of many of her predecessors, aiming to enter the film industry and onto the international stage.

Therefore, Wang Shu's co-production film is a great opportunity for her.

After hearing what Wang Jinhua said, she couldn't help but take a deep breath: "I also know that this is a good opportunity, but it is the same for others."

"With so many people competing for the role, I really don't know whether this will be my chance or someone else's."

"It's not like I haven't auditioned for Director Wang's crew before, but the results were not satisfactory."

“This time, there are more people competing, and maybe that’s the case.”

Having said that, she couldn't help but blame Yang Mi in her heart.

If Yang Mi hadn't been so stingy and never helped them introduce Wang Shu to their best friends, how could they be in the situation now where they have no confidence at all?

If Yang Mi had introduced Wang Shu to them before and then established a good relationship with Wang Shu, everything would certainly have been different.

It’s all Yang Mi’s fault for being narrow-minded, selfish and only caring about herself, not her best friends.

It's not like she has to pay anything, she's not even willing to help introduce Wang Shu.

Li Xiaolu felt that she had seen through Yang Mi's character.

It’s better not to have a best friend like this.
