Actor: Thank you.

Chapter 1437 Polite Refusal

Let's leave Liu Shishi's side for now.

The next day, Zhang Yuan woke up early.

I slept so-so.

My junior sister's disappointed gaze often appears in my dreams.

Then I remembered the two old men's instructions.

Sigh...we'll see.

After getting up, I dealt with some tasks and signed a bunch of contracts.

I took out my science books again and flipped through them. The movie "Qian Xuesen" is about to start filming, so I need to review it again.

Search online for videos of Mr. Qian and carefully observe his behavior, expressions, and mannerisms so that you can imitate him.

Actors like Teacher Gu Yue, who specialize in portraying teachers, must have observed and imitated teachers countless times through documentaries.

With a similar appearance and a perfect resemblance to the spirit, Teacher Gu Yue's visits to various places boosted the morale of the local troops.

Everyone knows it's fake, but everyone hopes it's real.

Just the fact that he resembles someone three-tenths of himself is enough to throw the enemy into a panic.

After watching Qian Lao's videos, Zhang Yuan had only one feeling: he was too confident.

It's not the confidence of male or female celebrities, but the confidence of a genius, which doesn't need fancy clothes or luxury cars to support it.

The difference between geniuses and ordinary people is that ordinary people need to work hard, exert themselves, and constantly suppress the fatigue and boredom caused by failure before they can achieve something after exhausting all their strength.

Once a genius discovers their talent, they can keep working hard and getting stronger, becoming more and more enthusiastic as they do it, constantly receiving positive feedback, and their self-confidence grows day by day, until they finally realize that they have surpassed everyone else.

But there are differences between geniuses.

Just like in the NBA, a large group of Black players are exceptionally talented. When they were young, they were unstoppable and could win no matter how they played.

But once they get a little older, they immediately stop being able to function properly.

This is just relying on physical talent, lacking even basic teamwork, and only thinking about being strong and dazzling.

He knows all the skills, except passing the ball.

Jordan is amazing because he's not only amazing himself, but he can also make his teammates amazing.

However, when Jordan was asked about his shooting techniques, he was also asked...
He said that when you have the ball in your hand, you should take a look at it after jumping, find your rhythm, and then shoot; don't rush to release the ball.

Others either can't do it, or they get intercepted just by looking at it. Jordan was completely baffled. Isn't that simple?

Why can't you all do it?
Watching you guys play is less appealing than me playing myself.

But what's remarkable about Qian Xuesen is that, despite being a top genius, he was still able to train a group of highly skilled individuals.

Not only is he a great player, but he can also pass the ball, teach his teammates, and has leadership qualities.

His confidence is not the confidence of a lone wolf, and that's very important.

Zhang Yuan pondered this feeling, and thought it was quite worth learning.

Shortly after, Zeng Jia's phone call interrupted his train of thought.

"Boss, the Xinjiang girl you asked me to contact is in Beijing."

"Would you like to meet?"

"Okay, you can make an appointment... Did it not go smoothly?" Zhang Yuan asked thoughtfully.

"The other party was quite polite, but I wasn't particularly excited after contacting them."

"Understood, I'll see it for myself first."

Shortly after, in a coffee shop near CCTV.

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting."

A rare girl with strikingly defined features approached a booth by the window.

This person was so cautious that they didn't even dare to sit down directly. They immediately bowed slightly in apology.

"It's ok."

"Please sit down first, don't rush," Zhang Yuan said, getting up to greet him and offering him a drink.

"No need, I'll just have water." She quickly waved her hand.

Zhang Yuan didn't say much, he just sat down.

It's quite noticeable that, despite both being girls from Xinjiang, this person's personality is completely different from Nazar's.

More careful, cautious, and reserved.

Unlike Naza, who is so open and even a little foolish, she is not open and honest.

This person exudes a maturity beyond his years, and he is cautious in everything he does.

Zhang Yuan thought to himself that it was fortunate they hadn't arranged to meet at his home, otherwise, given this person's personality, they might not have been willing to come.

They might be afraid he'll do something bad.

Zhang Yuan could understand this mentality, and even thought it was quite good.

It's a good thing that the girl knows how to be careful, especially when she's far from her hometown and living in a different place. She knows how to protect herself.

This person is currently a student at the Shanghai Theatre Academy. He just happened to be in Beijing today to attend to CCTV.

"CCTV is slow in handling matters, so it's normal for it to take up your time."

"And you can't even complain, because you never know which junior manager might get angry and blacklist you," Zhang Yuan complained, seemingly jokingly.

Dilraba smiled in agreement.

When asked about her job at CCTV, it turned out to be an interview for a TV series.

Zhang Yuan frowned after hearing this. The play was called "Anarhan," a major production co-produced by CCTV, the Propaganda Department of Xinjiang, and the Department of Culture, and it was of a very high level.

It belongs to the category of TV dramas featuring wedding gifts.

You can tell how impressive these organizations are just by looking at them.

Moreover, the high cost is not due to budget or staffing.

The main actors are all newcomers.

Its brilliance lies in its subject matter and content!

It tells the story of the persecution of the people by the old forces in Xinjiang before the People's Liberation Army liberated Xinjiang in 49. It begins with a group of young men and women who were in free love, using a small story to illustrate the struggle at that time.

The fact that a drama like this is being filmed now, especially since it's a joint production between CCTV and the local highest propaganda department, carries significant implications.

Ning Hao's film "No Man's Land" was rejected during this period because certain regions are considered sensitive.

Putting aside everything else, let's just talk about Shanghai, this "Little Mumbai of the East".

That's the largest and most developed city in the country.

At this point, the problems of certain groups are quite serious, to the point of open robbery in broad daylight.

Zhang Yuan knew that "No Man's Land" would probably have to wait a while before it could be unsealed.

"You are very lucky to be able to act in such an important work."

"Congratulations," Zhang Yuan praised. "I'm really looking forward to this show; I'll definitely watch it when it airs."

"Thank you." The other person smiled and nodded gently.

Unlike Naza, the girl was full of admiration and joy when she saw him.

This person also experiences admiration and joy, but his eyes reveal more caution.

"I saw your audition clip for 'The Last Supper' online, and I think you are great in both appearance and dance skills."

"So my agent and I discussed it and wanted to ask you if you'd be interested in signing with a company," Zhang Yuan said directly, seeing the other party's cautious demeanor.

Let me introduce myself to you first.

"In addition to acting, I have also started my own company over the years."

"Using my experience and network, I will provide support to more artists and help them develop."

"Currently, we are working together with Bao Qiang, Huang Bo, Zhang Yi, Song Jia, and Liu Tao..."

Anyway, everyone has already registered, even those who already run their own studios are included.

"So many amazing seniors!" Dilraba smiled, her eyes narrowed.

Even his squinted eyes were bigger than Zhang Yi's.

"If you want to have more opportunities in the entertainment industry, I think we should be able to offer some assistance."

Zhang Yuan looked at the other person with utmost sincerity, avoiding eye contact with the girl.

"I...I just watched one of your movies recently."

"It's 'The Founding of a Republic'."

"Oh, thank you for providing the box office figures... You watched it in the theater, right, or you downloaded a pirated copy?"

"I saw it in the theater," the girl replied with a smile. "You acted very well."

Zeng Jia nodded gently beside her.

Putting aside whether it's good or bad, many people online are saying that their boss is the most handsome Duke of Zhou in history, which is quite popular.

Although the final edited footage didn't feature many scenes, numerous screenshots circulated online. Young people may not understand the true greatness of these figures; they need to grow older and gain more experience before they can appreciate their extraordinary qualities and compare them to their own.

However, before delving into the details, the superiors' goal is to use celebrities who are likely to attract young audiences to play the roles, thereby arousing interest and expanding publicity.

Zhang Yuan did a good job in this regard, and his superiors were very satisfied.

Even though I was very satisfied, I didn't send him a red envelope or anything...

"I also hope that one day I can act as well as you," Dilraba said in her lively voice.

"But I'm still far from that level, so I want to go to school and study first."

"Strengthen yourself first, then talk about other things... No, no, that, I just feel that I'm not good enough, that I don't have the ability."

She carefully crafted her words, explaining cautiously, afraid of offending anyone.

This is a stark contrast to Naza's outspoken nature.

Zhang Yuan understood that it was actually a rejection.

I haven't been having a good time lately.

He thought about it for a moment and realized that he couldn't say that. Talented people all have their own personalities; they can't be summoned and dismissed at will.

The other party first flattered him and then came up with the excuse of needing to go to school, which was quite respectable.

"It's okay, you're right."

"My regret is that I didn't have the chance to mature through school; studying is the most important thing," Zhang Yuan said, echoing her sentiments.

The other person blinked her big eyes; Zhang Yuan's attitude had clearly surprised her.

She had anticipated that the other party would relentlessly pursue her or say some hurtful things in anger, so she was mentally prepared.

Even before I came, I was still quite apprehensive.

After all, the other party is a leader in the industry I'm about to enter. If I offend them and they cause me trouble, things might not go well for me in the future.

But the other party was quite gentle and had no airs at all.

Amen...

"Okay, you should focus on your studies first. If you need any help, feel free to ask me."

"Zeng Jia, did you leave her your contact information?"

"I kept it."

"Okay, then write down my QQ number. Call me online if you need anything."

The other party nervously pulled out their phone to record the conversation.

She asked Zeng Jia to arrange a car to take her back to the hotel, but she declined several times before finally getting into the car.

On the way home, Zeng Jia looked at him with a crooked mouth.

"What's wrong? Did you have a stroke?"

Zeng Jia: ...

"Are we just going to let her go like this?"

"What else?" Zhang Yuan chuckled.

"I think this girl is even prettier in person than in online videos and photos. Her face is small and well-defined, which is rare."

"Why don't we use some tricks to scare them?"

Zhang Yuan looked at her with a gaze of care for someone with intellectual disabilities.

"You mean, you want to mess with the female lead who was just selected for a TV series jointly produced by CCTV and the Xinjiang Propaganda Department?"

"You think I'm not troublesome enough already?"

Zhang Yuan raised his hand and flicked her forehead, causing her to clutch her forehead in pain.

"Office violence is unacceptable."

"We weren't in the office either."

Zeng Jia: ...

"Stop talking nonsense and let me see her information."

Zhang Yuan reached out, and the other party handed him the intelligence they had gathered.

"You don't think I'm too easy, you think I'm too long-lived, right?" Zhang Yuan glanced at the documents, then turned to Zeng Jia with a predatory grin.

Dilraba's biological father is a tenor singer with the XJ Art Troupe and holds the title of National First-Class Actor.

Her father's younger sister, who is also her aunt, is a national first-class dancer with the Central National Song and Dance Troupe, a higher rank than Liu Xiaoli before her retirement.

The girl herself was taken by her father to a dance school under the XJ Song and Dance Troupe when she was 9 years old. She thought it was an interest class, and after dancing casually for a few days, she was accepted.

She became a formal dancer in the XJ Dance Troupe at the age of 15.

In other words, they started earning money and receiving wages at the age of 15, truly deserving the title of "young achievers".

Later, after winning a provincial award, I got tired of it and wanted to switch to music and apply to the piano program at the Central Conservatory of Music.

It was her piano teacher who recommended that she apply to the Central Academy of Drama and the Shanghai Theatre Academy for acting.

Because this girl was nervous during the exam, she made several mistakes while playing the piano. The teacher also felt that her appearance was not good enough for piano, so he recommended her for acting.

But she signed up secretly because her father and aunt disagreed and hoped that she could stay in the local area and pursue a career as an artist within the system.

This is similar to Naza's situation; both families hope their children will be safe and sound.

This is exactly the same idea as in the southern coastal areas, where the enthusiasm for taking the civil service exam is slightly lower in developed areas.

"They start working and earning money in their teens, during puberty."

"The art exam also went against my family's wishes."

"Such a decisive and independent girl, with excellent qualities, is impossible to force."

“Use benefits to lure them in. Their family is well-off, and there are several artists in their family. They have been worldly since childhood.”

"In addition, what they said is also true. When you are in school at the Shanghai Theatre Academy, you are not allowed to go out to film freely before your junior year unless you get special permission from the teacher and the academic affairs office."

"The play she's currently acting in has a patriotic theme, which is why she can easily get a leave of absence."

"If you really want her, you have to take it slow, let her think you're good, and let your team be good too."

“One monkey, one way to tie it up, understand?” Zhang Yuan patiently explained.

"I need to send her my blessings and give her small gifts during the next three major holidays and her birthday, and treat her with the mindset and attitude of a friend."

“When I go to Shanghai on business trips, I occasionally ask her out for a meal and a chat.”

"Don't rush to bring up the company's affairs."

"Also, I won't show myself. You or another woman can try to contact me."

"Don't make them nervous."

Zhang Yuan thought to himself, "If this doesn't work, I'll have to use Yang Mi. She seems to have a special advantage when it comes to pretty girls."

He's particularly good at teasing girls, but not in a way that's overtly seductive.

Through their meeting, he realized that Reba's mental fortitude was far weaker than it had been in later years, and the pressure he had put on her was too strong, which had backfired.

He noticed that the other person's hands were shaking a little when they drank water.

He now understands that the reason it was easier to recruit employees in the past was because his status wasn't as high as it is now.

The reaction to a Level 1 character encountering a Level 15 character is completely different from that of a Level 1 character encountering a Level 99 character.

Today's reaction from Reba is somewhat similar to Dapeng's reaction a few days ago.

"Boss," Zeng Jia asked with a serious expression after listening.

"Ok?"

"I want to ask you something serious."

"Go ahead," he said seriously.

"Are you looking for this girl for work, or for personal reasons? Are you interested in her and want to date her?"

Zhang Yuangang's solemn posture almost fell to the ground.

"Of course, it's to attract talent for the company."

"Are you sure?" Zeng Jia asked, squinting.

“Let’s discuss it again…” Zhang Yuan turned his head away.

Don't be too definitive... Everyone loves pretty girls, and if I say I'm completely indifferent, I'm not just lying to myself.

But the attitude remains the same: no coercion.

This principle is what made him feel a little disappointed today.

I didn't get any.

However, every loss has its gain.

This girl rejected him, but another girl took the initiative to come to him.

Meanwhile, Liu Shishi, who had cried all night and spent half the day in a daze, finally got out of bed with swollen eyes... (End of Chapter)
