Rebirth of wealth and freedom starts from the World Cup

Chapter 195 The vulgar life of financial freedom!
To be honest, after dressing up carefully, Yang Chuchu gave people a good overall impression. As a ballet dancer since childhood, she has abundant talents.

The three-dimensional facial features of big eyes and high nose bridge make her the kind of beauty that gets more beautiful the more you look at her.

Even in a university like the Central Academy of Drama where beautiful girls are everywhere, Yang Chuchu can definitely be considered the most beautiful girl in the department.

At this moment, Zhao Zixuan hesitated for a moment and was about to agree to Yang Chuchu's invitation to eat oysters together, but Ding Xiaoying's sudden appearance interrupted their conversation.

She walked over and asked Zhao Zixuan directly: "Zhao Zixuan, did you come to see me specially?"

Her appearance was neither too early nor too late, just right.

But Zhao Zixuan knew that Ding Xiaoying should have discovered him a long time ago, and coming close to him at this time must have been her intentional act.

Ding Xiaoying's arrival allowed Zhao Zixuan to unnoticeably withdraw his arm that was originally on Yang Chuchu's chest.

His eyes fell on Ding Xiaoying, who was dressed in a dashing OL professional outfit, and he suggested with a smile: "Would you like to go eat oysters together tonight? I happen to have two coupons for Four Seasons."

When Yang Chuchu heard this, she almost gritted her teeth in anger.

She looked at Zhao Zixuan with confusion, wanting to say that it was her coupon, but under Zhao Zixuan's deep gaze, she finally chose to remain silent.

Zhao Zixuan took the two coupons as his own without any shame and handed them to Ding Xiaoying.

Ding Xiaoying took the coupon with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Is this restaurant a five-star hotel? The seafood buffet looks great... But I have a few scenes to shoot this afternoon, so I might be a bit rushed."

Although she was moved, she couldn't hide her worry on her face.

Zhao Zixuan said sympathetically, "Go to film first. When it's time for dinner, I'll tell Director Yan to give you a little break."

Ding Xiaoying immediately smiled brightly, "Really? Then it's settled, you must wait for me!"

Zhao Zixuan nodded slightly and accepted the agreement.

Yang Chuchu watched from the side, feeling extremely angry but she did not dare to say anything, for fear that this would anger Zhao Zixuan, which would end up hurting her.

She didn't understand where she lost?
Is it that my face is not pretty enough, or that my figure is not attractive enough?
"Zhao Zixuan..."

Yang Chuchu still wanted to pester him, but Zhao Zixuan ruthlessly distanced himself from her.

He acted as if he didn't hear anything, and quickly walked towards directors Yan Fei and Peng Damu with Ding Xiaoying to discuss the filming of the movie in depth with them.

Currently, the filming progress of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is less than one-fifth, and there are still many plot details that need to be polished.

As one of the screenwriters, Zhao Zixuan occasionally makes some suggestions and incorporates his own ideas into the film's plot.

For example, Zhao Zixuan has many unique insights into the role of the heroine Xia Zhu, and he feels that it is necessary to tell the two directors about these insights so that they can deliberately deepen the camera language during filming and allow the audience to understand the character of Xia Zhu more intuitively.

"I think the role of Xia Zhu needs more careful polishing. In my mind, Xia Zhu is a pure and kind girl. She is not interested in money. She values ​​the value of true love more."

"But Wang Duoyu, who finally moved her, had to rely on the power of money. In other words, Xia Zhu may not care about money, but every step to move Xia Zhu must be supported by money."

After Zhao Zixuan finished speaking, he saw that the two directors were a little confused, so he continued to explain, "Let me give you an example. If I were Wang Duoyu Benyu, the reason why Xia Zhu liked me was because I invited Wang Leehom to hold a private concert for her."

"Indeed, she doesn't love money. I gave my money to Wang Leehom but not to her. But she never thought about how to deal with Wang Leehom without money."

After saying this, there was actually something else in his mind that he hadn't said out loud.

It may be money or a short essay that can win over Leehom Wang.

It’s a pity that no one can understand this joke now, so it’s useless to say it.

Yan Fei woke up as if from a dream after hearing this, and clapped his hands in admiration: "I understand! Although Xia Zhu said that she doesn't love money, every romantic moment in love cannot be separated from the embellishment of money. This contrast is really wonderful. Director Zhao, your idea is really amazing! You are worthy of it!"

Peng Damo also nodded in agreement: "This setting is indeed unique. However, I have a question, why Wang Leehom? Don't you have a good relationship with Jay Chou? Why not invite him to make a friendly guest appearance? After all, his influence is there. With him joining, won't our movie be more glorious?"

Zhao Zixuan actually considered this proposal, but thinking of Jay Chou's gradually gaining weight in recent years, he finally decided to choose Wang Leehom.

After all, the latter has proven that he can attract some topics and box office, and Wang Leehom himself is a bit similar to Xia Zhu's boyfriend. This condition undoubtedly better fits Xia Zhu's vision and standards for choosing a boyfriend.

The real and fake Wang Leehom are also fun.

Ding Xiaoying listened to their discussion of roles and couldn't help but ask her own questions: "I understand the role of Xia Zhu, but there was no spark of love between Xia Zhu and Wang Duoyu at the beginning. Why did they have to be together in the end? Isn't this setting too deliberate?"

"Logically, for someone like Xia Zhu, she would be satisfied with just a small cake on her birthday. Even if her boyfriend is penniless, as long as he has good character, she would be satisfied. All of this is to highlight her character and personality that doesn't love money..."

"But in the script, the reason why Xia Zhu fell in love with Wang Duoyu seemed a little thin. It was just because she uncovered the truth of the hit-and-run incident and felt that Wang Duoyu was not a bad person, but a kind person."

"But there are so many kind people, why did Xia Zhu fall in love with Wang Duoyu? If I were a viewer, I might think this emotional transition is a bit abrupt and it would seem very twisted."

After listening to him, Zhao Zixuan patiently explained, "This is a comedy movie, so there's no need to be too rigid about logic. A happy ending is what the audience likes. The significance of Xia Zhu's character in the later period is mainly to guide Wang Duoyu to understand a truth - pursuing girls is the most expensive behavior."

"Then, Wang Duoyu spent a fortune on advertising all over the city to show his love, and naturally he became a celebrity. This can be regarded as a satire on the current social phenomenon of making stars as a joke."

Hearing this, Yan Fei looked at Ding Xiaoying and said, "Actually, I understand why you feel awkward. If you were a man, you wouldn't have such thoughts."

"There are actually many girls like Xia Zhu nowadays. They say they don't love money, but they don't love money in their actions either."

"But what really moves them is often not something that can be measured by money. If you ask them what they love, the things they answer will cost tens of millions of dollars."

"..."

Ding Xiaoying remained silent in front of everyone, but she felt an urge to refute.

She wanted to say that not all women were like this, and there were many good girls in the world who were not moved by money, like herself.

However, she ultimately chose to remain silent.

Because she knew that such an excuse would only seem pale and powerless in the eyes of these men, and might even lead to their ridicule and contempt.

In the minds of these secular men, perhaps women who don’t love money don’t even exist?
As the discussion came to an end, Ding Xiaoying returned to the role and immersed herself in the world of acting.

This time, her performance was like a complete transformation, and her acting skills had improved significantly. She was able to pass those complicated scenes in one go without any effort.

Shen Teng witnessed her transformation and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

But then, he understood in his mind that, after all, she graduated from a professional acting school, so it was reasonable for her to have such acting talent.

In fact, Shen Teng originally intended to let Ma Li continue to play the leading female role. He took the initiative to talk to the director about this several times, but unfortunately he was rejected.

Shen Teng believes that Ma Li's superb acting skills in "Charlotte's Troubles" are unforgettable, and the tacit understanding between the two has become deeper during the cooperation.

However, Yixuan Studio is wealthy and powerful, and as the largest investor in this film, no one can change their decision, so they unilaterally determined the candidate for the heroine.

When Shen Teng first met Ding Xiaoying, he just thought that this little girl was outstanding in appearance, and secretly classified her as a "vase" in his heart. Because Zhan Yishang, who was previously inserted by Yixuan Studio, was an example of a person with only good looks, and except for her face, her acting skills were simply unbearable.

But now it seems that Ding Xiaoying's acting skills are not completely useless.

Although she is a little immature, she has made a qualitative leap compared to Zhan Yishang. Her performance reveals a deep understanding of the role and sincere emotions.

After finishing the wonderful rivalry with Ding Xiaoying, Shen Teng specially found Zhao Zixuan and the two started chatting.

"Mr. Zhao, you have a unique vision. In front of you there was Zhan Yishang, and in the back there is Ding Xiaoying. How did you discover these two outstanding young actors?"

Shen Teng's words were seven parts sincerity and three parts compliment.

He highly praised Ding Xiaoying's acting skills and performance, and also expressed admiration for Zhao Zixuan's ability to judge people.

Zhao Zixuan smiled gently and responded, "It's simple, because I have a pair of eyes that are good at discovering beauty."

Shen Teng couldn't help but envy him. He opened his own studio at such a young age, and this new movie investment was a huge sum of money. Moreover, Zhao Zixuan's vision in selecting scripts was quite unique. It was no exaggeration to say that he had a keen eye.

Shen Teng knew that Zhao Zixuan was no ordinary person and had already wanted to make friends with him.

He took the opportunity to get closer to them and said, "Director Zhao, if you have a good script in the future, remember to give me priority."

Zhao Zixuan also had a good impression of the mainland's new "King of Comedy" and agreed with a smile: "Of course, but your popularity is at its peak now, and your future pay will probably increase as well. By then, I'm afraid I won't be able to invite you even if I want to."

With the popularity of "Charlotte's Troubles", Shen Teng's salary skyrocketed and he became one of the top male stars.

Fortunately, Zhao Zixuan had foresight and had already finalized the contract for the new movie with Shen Teng before "Charlotte's Troubles" was released.

Therefore, Shen Teng's salary for "The Richest Man in Xihong City" did not skyrocket due to the success of "Charlotte's Troubles". Now inviting Shen Teng to star in the film is still a wise choice with great value for money.

Shen Teng waved his hand and said casually: "I never care about the pay when I act. As long as the script is good and I can make a wonderful movie, I am willing to work for zero pay."

Zhao Zixuan just smiled when he heard it and didn't really take it to heart.

After all, there is no free lunch in the world, and zero pay often means a share of the box office revenue.

At the beginning of the preparation of the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City", Shen Teng and the Happy Twist team took the initiative to propose the suggestion of sharing the box office revenue.

But Zhao Zixuan firmly disagreed. After all, this movie was invested and produced by him alone, and all the funds were borne by Yixuan Studio. Happy Twist did not pay a penny and only provided a few actors. How could he easily give up the box office revenue?

Isn't this obviously giving away money?
Zhao Zixuan has a lot of money, but he is not a fool.

If someone gives him money, he has to think about whether to accept it, let alone ask him to give money out on his own initiative as a dividend.

After chatting, Shen Teng invited sincerely: "Mr. Zhao, are you free tonight? I would like to invite you to dinner."

Zhao Zixuan shook his head gently and declined, "Not tonight, I already have an appointment, let's do it another day."

Shen Teng was a little disappointed. He had originally wanted to use this dinner to get closer to Zhao Zixuan and discuss future cooperation.

He was unwilling to give up and continued to ask: "What about tomorrow?"

Zhao Zixuan shook his head again and said, "Tomorrow is not possible either. I have to fly to Europe tonight and it may take half a month for me to come back. Let's make an appointment then."

Shen Teng had no choice but to agree.

Ding Xiaoying was curious when she heard this and couldn't help asking, "You're going to Europe? Leaving tonight?"

The news came as a surprise to her.

Thinking that Zhao Zixuan was about to go on a long journey abroad, but still took the time to come and see her, she felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart.

What does he mean?

Zhao Zixuan looked at Ding Xiaoying meaningfully, and said with a cynical smile: "Yes, so this is our last dinner."

"Pfft!" Ding Xiaoying frowned. "What last supper? It's too unlucky to say that."

Zhao Zixuan smiled and didn't care.

Shen Teng joked on the side, "Since you two want to enjoy your own world, I won't join in the fun. Goodbye, light bulb."

He had a mischievous look on his face and asked for a beating. Before leaving, he winked at Zhao Zixuan. He was quite good at being witty.

Zhao Zixuan smiled slightly and returned his gaze to Ding Xiaoying, "Let's go and eat oysters."

Ding Xiaoying said softly: "Wait for me for a moment, I'll go change my clothes."

Zhao Zixuan suddenly grabbed her hand and prepared to take her out of the set. "Why are you changing clothes? Tonight is my date with Xia Zhu, and Xia Zhu won't care about these vulgar details."

Ding Xiaoying: “…”

She knew before that rich people had fun, but she never thought it could be played this way?
