When the director became popular in the entertainment industry

Boss Zhou is a middle-aged man who looks very easy-going. Zhan Xiao beside him is standing close to his arm, which is a clear intimacy at a glance.

"Sorry, I'm late." Bai Congzhen looked away and smiled apologetically.

"We came early." Boss Zhou stepped forward to shake hands with Bai Congzhen, "I've heard about the director's name for a long time, it's really better to see once."

After saying hello, Boss Zhou called Zhan Xiao over, "This is Zhan Xiao, you are all from the entertainment industry, I don't know if you have seen him or not."

"Hello, Director Cong." Zhan Xiao stepped forward, and smiled softly at Bai Congzhen after speaking, his watery eyes were even more charming.

Bai Congzhen twitched the corner of his mouth, replied "Hello", and pulled away the chair next to Li Jinyu to sit down, and by the way, pulled Su Yaya to the seat next to him.

After everyone arrived, the dishes started to be served. At first, Boss Zhou wanted to routinely push the cups and change the cups. He talked for a while before starting the topic, but he was persuaded by Bai Congzhen in time.

"Boss Zhou, let's get straight to the point and chat while eating. I'm a straight-talking person, and I don't like things that meander."

Li Jinyu hurriedly looked at Boss Zhou's expression, and found that the other party was stunned for a moment and then laughed instead.

"The director is straightforward. Then let's talk straight and don't waste time chatting." Boss Zhou didn't feel offended.It's just entertainment, everyone has their own style and there is no need to go online.In contrast, people who go straight are more pleasing to the eye than those who go around.

"I heard that the director is preparing for a new drama, and the investment has not yet been settled. I have some spare money, but I don't know if there is anything suitable in the drama, so that Xiaoxiao can join the group and play a role?"

Boss Zhou adapted quickly, and it was straightforward enough to speak again without wasting time.

In this case, Su Yaya and Li Jinyu consciously acted as background panels and ate food in silence, leaving Bai Congzhen to respond calmly.

He looked at Zhan Xiao for a while, and then said to Boss Zhou with a smile: "I've seen some video clips of Ms. Zhan before I came here. To be honest, her acting skills are not enough in my opinion. It's fine to join the group, but only Can be a supporting role."

Without waiting for Boss Zhou to speak, Bai Congzhen continued: "Boss Zhou, you know that although my drama is said to be a leading actor, it is actually a group portrait. The role of a supporting role is very important and cannot be inferior to Qin Yingdi's acting skills, so Ms. Zhan It may not meet my requirements, and the supporting role will only be the one that is not very important."

Although I haven't read the specific script, Boss Zhou has read the outline of the play.He doesn't deny what Bai Congzhen said, but if Zhan Xiao can only play a supporting role, what's the point of his dinner today?

"The leading male protagonist will also have emotional dramas, right?" Boss Zhou thought of something else, "It's okay if the proportion of emotional dramas is small, this girl can just let Xiaoxiao do it."

Bai Congzhen heard it, and co-authored Zhanxiao had given Boss Zhou the ecstasy drug in advance, so that she must have a rivalry with Qin Nianchu.

Glancing at Boss Zhou's silent coquettish Zhan Xiao, he turned his eyes away and said to Boss Zhou in a deep voice, "This drama has no emotional scenes, so there are no such characters."

Boss Zhou hesitated when he heard that, but Zhan Xiao hugged Boss Zhou's arm directly, and said to Bai Congzhen with a coquettish smile: "How can a TV series not have emotional scenes? The audience love watching emotional scenes. Without the director, you can Change the script and add another one."

The voice is normal but the tone sounds like a baby.

Bai Congzhen was choked, and took a sip of water to suppress his shock: "It seems that Ms. Zhan can't decide what the audience likes to watch."

"I got it from the analysis of big data." Zhan Xiao explained to Boss Zhou: "Brother Zhou, I read the annual reports of the major platforms in the industry in recent years, and the TV series with the highest ratings are all What about romance dramas. Wasn’t the last drama directed by you also about romance?”

Quite professional, Bai Cong snorted coldly from the bottom of his heart.You only look at the top ratings, why don't you look at how much water was poured into it and how much scolding it received.

Boss Zhou was not easily persuaded by Zhan Xiao, but he still wanted to talk about the role: "The director of the script is a professional, we don't intervene. It's just that there are no female characters in this play that are suitable for Xiao Xiao? Although Smiling is not as powerful as Qin Nianchu's, but it's not much different."

Su Yaya shook her hand and the food on the chopsticks fell into the plate. She picked up the food and put it into her mouth again in silence. She and Li Jinyu looked at each other, and they both saw speechlessness in each other's eyes.

Boss Zhou must have been limped by Zhan Xiao.A person who hasn't won an acting award since his debut has the nerve to say that his acting skills are similar to Qin Nianchu's?

After hearing this, Bai Congzhen almost couldn't help raising his hands to his forehead. He clenched his hands on his knees and tried to smile at Boss Zhou: "Boss Zhou, maybe you can watch more award-winning domestic film and television works."

Feel the excellent acting skills of other actors.

Speaking of the present, Bai Congzhen, who probably figured out what happened to Boss Zhou and Zhan Xiao, already wanted to run away.If he wants to play an important female supporting role without acting skills, no matter how much money he invests, it won't work.

Seeing that Zhanxiao wanted to say something more, Bai Congzhen, who didn't want to listen to that kind of coquettish talk, directly blocked the other party's words.

"Boss Zhou, let me tell you the truth." Bai Congzhen said with a serious expression, "Miss Zhan's acting skills are not up to my standards. If she really wants to act, she can only play an unimportant supporting role. If the role is important Don’t even think about it. As for the investment, you should know that Yunzhen Yuele is the main player in my two dramas, so it doesn’t matter whether other people vote for me or not, Yunzhen will help me fill in the gaps.”

The summary is: If you want to join the group, you can only listen to my arrangement, I am not short of money.

At this point in the conversation, the atmosphere has froze.

Boss Zhou, who was easy-going at the beginning, looked unhappy, Zhan Xiao also frowned and looked at Bai Congzhen with grievances.It's a pity that Bai Congzhen was not moved by it at all, and even turned his head away in annoyance, wanting to pull away the chair and leave immediately.

At this time, Li Jinyu and Su Yaya, who were eating and drinking, finally went online and started talking to smooth things over.

"Boss Zhou, don't take it to heart. Our director is too straightforward. If you like it, you like it. If you don't like it, you don't like it. You can't rub any sand in your eyes about filming." Su Yaya said Bai Congzhengang He took out what he said when he was seated, turned around and said with a smile to Zhan: "But although Miss Zhan's words are reasonable, the award she won is not so convincing."

"Old Zhou, as a director, he has been influenced by literature and art since he was a child, and he has learned more professional knowledge than us. And you have seen the strength of the director. Two of them were shot, and two of them exploded. This is the probability that you invest Are you still worried about making money?"

Li Jinyu euphemistically reminded Boss Zhou of Bai Congzhen's family background, and then persuaded him from a profit point of view: "This drama is not only inviting Qin Nianchu, the actors to be invited are all winners of Best Actor or Best Actress awards, and they have come out in the entertainment industry one by one. Going is quality assurance. Under such circumstances, how awkward you let Zhan Xiao appear in it, the audience won’t buy it. At that time, there will definitely be more scolding than praise, and your efforts will not be appreciated.”

Li Jinyu understood Boss Zhou's psychology very well to be called a friend.

Boss Zhou's expression relaxed after hearing this, and Bai Congzhen followed suit with some persuasion: "Boss Zhou, what can be happier in this world than making money?"

Seeing the other party looking at himself, Bai Congzhen laughed and joked: "It's enough to have a little star and spend money to buy happiness, there is no need to lose money to buy happiness."

"The same goes for Miss Zhan. The wind blowing over the pillow will blow away the benefactor."

The lively box returned to silence, but Boss Zhou did not leave in a hurry, but sat on a chair and meditated.Zhan Xiao was a little anxious sitting aside, for fear that what Bai Congzhen said before he left would affect the other party.She thought for a while, and hugged Boss Zhou's waist with a soft voice.

"Brother Zhou, that Bai Congzhen doesn't take you seriously. Isn't he just a little director with some background, and his family can't control our entertainment industry. I don't know why Yun Zhen is supporting him. I don’t worry about losing money after investing so much money in him.”

Boss Zhou didn't speak, but patted Zhanxiao's hand on his waist.

Zhan Xiao suddenly felt that what he said was taken seriously, and continued: "He is just filming an online drama, how could he invite so many big-name celebrities, he must be lying to save face. Bai Congzhen just doesn't take Brother Zhou In your eyes, you don't think I'm as famous as Qin Yingdi."

In the end, she pretended to be sad and leaned on Boss Zhou's shoulder.He didn't look up and smiled, so naturally he didn't see how calm Boss Zhou's expression was.

Boss Zhou hasn't remarried since the divorce, and occasionally when he's lonely, he makes a small love affair to pass the time, so that he can get together and relax.Since Bao Zhanxiao, he has indeed been coaxed by the other party, and it is nothing to give some money and resources.But today's meal directly woke him up from the fluttering emotions of the previous few months.

Because women are not necessary for him, what he likes most is making money.

Nothing is more important than making money.

In particular, he has voted for a lot of dramas, and he has a general idea of ​​why the project is a hit.Besides, Bao Xiaoqing'er didn't choose an actor, as long as she looked as she liked, who cares about the other party's acting skills?So before he was coaxed by Zhan Xiao to think that the other party's acting skills were really good, but today's repeated blows from Bai Congzhen and the others made him understand Zhan Xiao's true strength.

Almost got scammed.

Thinking of this, Boss Zhou stroked the hair of the woman in his arms, and said calmly: "Smile, our contract has been terminated today. You can take the things I gave you before, and don't let me move out of the villa I live in within a day." See you again."

Zhanxiao was startled, she sat up straight and asked in a panic: "Brother Zhou! Why did you say these things suddenly? Is it my fault? My apology is my fault. Don't terminate the contract, okay?" "

She debuted for several years without any splashes, and has always been hovering on the edge of the second line.After finally finding a benefactor, how long before he was kicked?And the most terrible thing is, if the reason for being kicked is on her, will she be blocked?

Boss Zhou pulled his smiling hands and stood up: "Take it with you in the entertainment industry with peace of mind."

Looking at Boss Zhou's resolute back, Zhan Xiao sat on the spot and slowly lowered his head.There was a mess of cups and plates on the table in front of her, and her expression gradually changed from panic to hatred.

Bai, from, true.

It was all good before, but it was just a meal, and the other party detested him.Isn't it obvious?All this is because Bai Congzhen's previous words were all Bai Congzhen's mistakes.

She just wanted a role, what's wrong with being bullied like this?
