The leader of Deyun Junior Team? I quit!

Chapter 396: Tell me what to do with the movie

Guo Qilin's heart beat faster. He knew that Hong Xinbao was a top actor in the Chinese film industry. His joining would undoubtedly bring huge traffic and attention to the movie. But at the same time, he also knows that there may be unknown undercurrents behind such opportunities.

He quickly dialed Li Haoran's phone and told him the news. Li Haoran was also stunned after hearing this, and then analyzed: "The appearance of Hong Xinbao is good news, but he is suddenly willing to star for zero pay. There must be a reason behind it. We have to deal with it carefully."

After discussion, the two decided to contact Hong Xinbao first to understand his true intentions. Soon, Guo Qilin received a call from Hong Xinbao's agent, inviting them to meet and discuss in detail.

In a private room of a high-end restaurant, Guo Qilin and Li Haoran met Hong Xinbao and his agent. Hong Xinbao is more approachable in person than in front of the camera. He admits that he is very interested in the script and is willing to contribute to the film.

However, when it came to the issue of remuneration, Hong Xinbao said that he did not care about the amount of money. He valued the cooperation with Guo Qilin and the quality of the film more. This made Guo Qilin and Li Haoran even more confused. They didn't understand why Hong Xinbao was so persistent in this cooperation.

After some in-depth exchanges, Guo Qilin gradually realized that Hong Xinbao did not simply want to star in a movie. He mentioned some ideas and suggestions about film distribution, promotion and marketing that Guo Qilin had not considered before.

"Director Guo, I believe in your talent and vision. But in this highly competitive entertainment industry, good works also need good publicity and marketing to stand out." Hong Xinbao said seriously.

Guo Qilin nodded in agreement but also raised doubts: "I know all this, but our budget is limited and we may not be able to afford large-scale publicity expenses."

Hong Xinbao smiled slightly: "Don't worry about this. I have some resources to help you. But I hope you can consider creating a role for me in the movie so that I can give full play to my acting skills."

Guo Qilin and Li Haoran looked at each other and knew the answer. They knew that the reason why Hong Xinbao was willing to star in the film for zero pay was not entirely out of charity but because he had his own plans. But they also understand that this is a rare opportunity. If these resources can be properly utilized, the film's chances of success will be greatly increased.

After some discussion, both parties reached an agreement. Hong Xinbao will star in the movie for free and use his own resources to publicize and promote the movie; while Guo Qilin will tailor a role for Hong Xinbao in the movie to ensure that his acting skills can be fully utilized.

However, just as they were about to leave the restaurant, Guo Qilin's cell phone rang again. He glanced at the caller ID and saw an unfamiliar number, but he felt a familiar and dangerous atmosphere...

Guo Qilin's cell phone rang suddenly in the quiet private room of the restaurant. The ringtone echoed in the empty space, breaking the original harmony. He glanced at the screen and saw an unfamiliar number hopping, but the familiar and dangerous feeling made him frown involuntarily.

"Sorry, let me answer the phone first." Guo Qilin stood up, walked to the corner of the private room, and pressed the answer button. A low and hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, as if coming from the abyss: "Guo Qilin, your recent actions have been quite big."

Guo Qilin's heart tightened. He didn't recognize this voice, but the other party seemed to know him well. Trying to stay calm, he asked, "Who are you? What's your purpose?"

The other party did not answer directly, but continued: "I heard that you are preparing for a new movie, and you have also been joined by Hong Xinbao. This is not a trivial matter. Have you thought about the consequences?" Guo Qilin's heart sank to the bottom. , he realized that this call was not simple. He took a deep breath and replied: "I make movies for the sake of art, not for the consequences. If you have any suggestions or warnings, please say so."

The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and then said: "Art? Huh, in the entertainment industry, art is just a means. I advise you to be careful and don't get carried away by the immediate benefits." After that, the other party hung up. Telephone.

Guo Qilin held the mobile phone, filled with doubts and uneasiness. He returned to his seat and told Hong Xinbao and his agent what had just happened. Hong Xinbao also showed a solemn expression and said: "This circle is indeed complicated. It seems that we have to be more careful."

Li Haoran frowned, thinking about the meaning of this mysterious call. He analyzed: "This call came too suddenly. The other party seemed to be very interested in our project, but did not want to show up directly. I guessed that he might be our competitor or someone with a conflict of interest with us."

Guo Qilin nodded in agreement. He knows that in this highly competitive entertainment industry, any successful attempt may lead to countless jealousies and hostility. But he also understands that only by adhering to his original intentions and dreams can he go further in this circle.

They decided to put the matter aside for the time being and continue to focus on the preparations for the film. However, just as they were about to leave the restaurant, Guo Qilin's cell phone rang again. He glanced at the screen and found that it was the unfamiliar number again. He hesitated, but pressed the answer button.

The voice on the other end of the phone became even deeper and weirder: "Guo Qilin, do you think you can escape? This game has just begun..." After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.

Guo Qilin froze on the spot, and the phone in his hand fell to the ground. He felt a chill rising from the bottom of his heart,

The neon lights outside the restaurant flickered in the night. Guo Qilin stood on the street, still holding his phone tightly in his hand, as if he could feel the chill of the mysterious call. He took a deep breath, trying to calm his inner turmoil.

"We have to deal with it carefully." Guo Qilin said to Hong Xinbao and his agent, with firmness in his eyes.

Hong Xinbao nodded, and his expression became solemn: "I understand that the competition in this circle is indeed fierce. But as long as we work together, there will be no obstacles that we cannot overcome."

Li Haoran added on the side: "We need to formulate a plan. On the one hand, we must ensure the smooth filming and promotion of the movie, and on the other hand, we must prevent the interference of the mysterious person."

The three of them sat around in a cafe near the restaurant and began to discuss coping strategies in detail. They decided to strengthen the confidentiality of the film and at the same time work closely with Hong Xinbao's management team to ensure the smooth progress of publicity and promotion.

However, just when they thought everything was under control, new challenges came again.
