Huayu: Female celebrities are looking for treasures in me

Chapter 79 Why is it not considered a billionaire? (First order)

"It can't be considered badmouthing you." Jing Tian pulled Zhang Li back to sit, leaning against the armrest and saying, "To be precise, she was playing dirty tricks on you, saying you have the potential to be a scumbag."

Zhang Li was shocked: Hiss!
Is Zheng Yuxuan so good at judging people?
"No, why is she using her powers to manipulate me?" Zhang Li was a little confused.

He has no grudge against Zheng Yuxuan, so why would the latter ruin his reputation?

Even though it is true.

"If you can't eat grapes, you say they're sour." Jing Tian coughed lightly and explained, "In our dormitory, you and I are very close, Biyun is very close to everyone in your class, and Qingzi, you met her on the set of Dream of the Red Chamber, but she's the only one you're not familiar with."

"Qingzi said you have a lot of acquaintances. You often hang out with the Dream of the Red Chamber crew, learn Kunqu Opera from Li Qin, eat with Zhao Liying, and have a good relationship with other actresses. She even said that you have good relationships with the opposite sex and have the potential to be a scumbag."

Zhang Li: “.”

He looked at Jing Tian deeply.

He believed what Jingtian said, it must have happened.

But it was too hasty for Jing Tian to snatch the opportunity to be the female lead from Zheng Yuxuan just because of this incident.

Even if Jing Tian is her girlfriend and is very protective of her, it wouldn't be like that.

I was supposed to give “+1” but no prompt appeared.

Obviously, Jing Tian lied.

"What? You don't believe it?" Jing Tian looked at Zhang Li boldly, feeling very uneasy.

The truth is easy to tell but not easy to hear.

In order to get more "+1", she has been paying attention to Zhang Li's situation privately.

Lu Zheng was responsible for helping her investigate and discovered that Zhang Li was the screenwriter of "CJ7" and "If You Are the One", so he stepped up his efforts.

Then they learned that Zhang Li had inquired about "Love Apartment" and "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together" in the circle, and had invested in "Love Apartment", but was still watching "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together".

At that time, Zheng Yuxuan was in a state of turmoil. After learning that she could not play the role in "The Biography of Sun Tzu", she showed off in various ways that she had the opportunity to play the female lead, which happened to be "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together".

She decided to go all out and brought money into the crew to snatch the role, and took Zhang Li along with her.

Being in the same crew, she will have more opportunities to get "+1".

But unexpectedly, Tianyu was determined to use Zhang Han as the male lead.

But she definitely wouldn't tell Zhang Li about this.

"I believe it." Zhang Li nodded affirmatively.

Jing Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and then heard Zhang Li say, "But what does this have to do with you investing in 'Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together' and playing the female lead?"

"I'm going to risk my life for my junior fellow student, and I'm so angry for my blue face?"

The latter sentence is purely a joke.

But Jingtian realized that something was wrong and felt hot all over.

She regretted using that lame excuse earlier.

"Senior." Zhang Li leaned closer to Jing Tian: "I asked you last time, are you going to pursue me?"

"Don't be so narcissistic." Jing Tian leaned back and explained with reservations: "You should have heard about her competition with me for the 07 school beauty pageant, and I won in the end."

"The twists and turns here are very complicated. Just think of it as me disliking her, and she's been playing dirty tricks on you, so I'm bringing you to watch the meteor shower together. When she finds out, she'll be pissed to death."

Zhang Li: “.”

Why does it feel like this is the truth?

He was not moved at all by such things.

Acting skills, connections, and background are all factors in getting a role.

There are many cases where roles are snatched away by people with connections halfway through a performance. As a vested interest, he cannot say anything that is glorious and correct.

"Well, we'll make her mad to death then." Zhang Li echoed and made his position clear.

A bright smile suddenly appeared on Jing Tian's face.

"But one thing surprised me," Zhang Li asked doubtfully. "Zheng Yuxuan is a newcomer. She's playing the female lead in 'Meteor Shower Together', so she must have signed a contract with Tianyu. Tianyu certainly has plenty of investment."

"Why would you accept investment from me and let me play the female lead?"

If this drama was so easy to invest in, he would have invested in it long ago.

"That's not that difficult." Jing Tian smiled. "I snatched the copyright of Meteor Garden from Jiaobenji."

Zhang Li: “.”

What a great move to pull the trigger.

"Meteor Garden" is a TV series filmed in Taiwan, but the copyright belongs to Jiaobenji, and it originated from a Japanese anime.

Mango TV had originally negotiated the copyright issue with Jiaobenji, but the latter also sold the copyright of the TV series to Peninsula. The contract also stated that other countries were not allowed to shoot at the same time.

Because Jiaobenji was in the wrong, it signed an agreement that Mango TV could adapt and film the drama on its own, but the title could not be "Meteor Garden" and F4 was not allowed to appear.

That’s why the TV series became “Let’s Watch Meteor Shower Together” and F4 became H4.

"Jing Tian has snatched the copyright, which means we can shoot normally this time without having to make such shocking changes?"

Zhang Li's eyes lit up, thinking this was great news.

As for the possibility that "Let's Watch the Meteor Shower Together" might not be a hit, he is not worried at all.

"Meteor Garden" was a hit all over Asia at the time, gaining both good reputation and popularity, making F4's popularity rival that of the Four Heavenly Kings.

At worst, he could find a way to make his and Jing Tian's makeup and appearance less shocking. If others are shocking and they are normal, the comparison will make them even more popular.

"If I can play a decent version of 'Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together', then I have to seize this audition."

"It would be great if I could play the male lead."

Zhang Li thought a little greedily.

At this time, Jing Tian seemed to know what he was thinking and asked, "Junior, if you have the chance, would you like to play the male lead?"

Zhang Li did not answer the question directly, but instead quoted an old saying: "A soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier."

"I understand." Jing Tian covered her mouth and chuckled: "An actor who doesn't want to play the male lead is not a good actor."

"Actually, it would be great to have a male second." Zhang Li smiled and said, "Thank you again, senior sister. I will definitely play this role well."

"I just got you an audition opportunity, so don't let me down." Jing Tian said in a relaxed tone.

Both of them knew that the so-called audition was just a formality.

For this kind of "self-made idol drama", naturally the investors will use whoever they want.

"Senior sister, you are really approachable." Zhang Li gave a thumbs up.

"I am indeed approachable, as long as you know it." Jing Tian curled the corners of his lips slightly.

"hehe."

"Ok?"

"I mean, of course I know." Zhang Li thanked him sincerely, "No one is more approachable than you."

"Why does the same word sound strange when it comes out of your mouth?" Jing Tian frowned slightly.

"You said you felt it, so it's just an illusion." Zhang Li tried to evade the question.

boom!boom!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Jing Tian suppressed her smile and sat upright, looking graceful and decent. Zhang Li said with a smile, "Please come in."

A girl walked in and said to Zhang Li, "Teacher Zhang Li, the director is free now. Please come over."

"Okay." Zhang Li stood up and immediately said, "Please lead the way."

He turned around and nodded to Jing Tian, ​​then followed the girl to a conference room.

"Hello, I'm Song Yang." Song Yang shook hands with Zhang Li. "The two casting directors and I will be in charge of your audition."

Zhang Li greeted the three people politely, and then began the audition as they requested.

Ten minutes later, applause broke out.

"You acted very well. I'll give this role to you."

Zhang Li was an actor recommended by the investors. Song Yang and the other two did not use very strict standards, but even if they followed strict requirements, they would still approve him.

Apart from his fame, Zhang Li's acting skills and looks are far better than those of Wei Chen and Zhu Zixiao, who play the third and fourth male actors. He is also better than Zhang Han, who graduated from a professional school and plays the male lead, and is even more famous.

Thinking of this, Song Yang smiled and said, "The actor who plays the male lead, Zhang Han, is also in the company. Can I introduce you two to each other in advance?"

"Thank you for your help, Director Song." Zhang Li responded with a smile.

This is something he has been longing for.

Thanks to Jingtian, he now has [Black Material on Designated Person +1].

When you are face to face with someone, choose to use the method that can reveal and obtain the biggest negative information about the other person's past.

When he saw Zhang Han, he used this "+1" to see if the other party had any black material in the past.

If so, then I'm sorry, he wants this male lead!
"Go and call Zhang Han over." Song Yang said to his assistant.

It was the woman who called Zhang Li over. She responded and left, then soon returned alone.

"Second uncle, Zhang Han is not in his exclusive lounge." The girl said.

"Then he's probably gone." Song Yang gave Zhang Li a slightly awkward smile. "Zhang Li, go to the lounge and wait for a while. I'll have someone prepare the contract."

"Okay, director." Zhang Li said nothing, nodded and left.

When he returned to the lounge, he saw a boy sitting in the seat where he had originally sat, chatting with Jing Tian. He had a smile on his face, which he thought was very handsome but was actually a bit artificial.

He was wearing sunglasses indoors, and I didn't know who he was showing it to.

Moreover, he was very inattentive and didn't notice that Jing Tian was already a little impatient.

"Senior." Zhang Li called Jing Tian.

"Junior, you're back." Jing Tian's eyes lit up and he stood up to greet him.

When he turned his back to the pretentious man, there was an expression of relief on his face.

Zhang Li saw it clearly and almost laughed out loud.

It seems that this man who feels good about himself is quite annoying.

"Are you going to play Zhang Li, the second male lead, Duanmu Lei?"

When the man saw Jing Tian stand up, he stood up too.

After seeing Zhang Li's appearance clearly, he did not hide his emotions. He subconsciously restrained his smile and frowned slightly.

"Hello, I'm Zhang Li, who are you?" Zhang Li responded from inside.

He always felt that this person looked somewhat familiar.

It seems to be Zhang Han who played the male lead in "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together"?

The hairstyle was normal and he was wearing sunglasses, which made him unsure.

"Let Jingtian tell you. I have something else to do and I'll leave first."

Zhang Han replied in a cool tone and walked out of the lounge with a wide step.

After the door closed again, Zhang Li looked at Jing Tian: "Who is this guy? He's so arrogant."

"Zhang Han, the actor who played the male lead in 'Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together.'" Jing Tian didn't hide her disdain. "He was very familiar. He said we were going to play a couple in a scene together and asked if I wanted to have dinner together tonight so we could get to know each other first."

"Only a ghost would want to get acquainted with someone like him."

Hearing this, Zhang Li showed a disapproving expression: "Senior sister, it's not right for you to say that."

Jing Tian was stunned for a moment: "."

Zhang Li actually wants to talk to Zhang Han?

Then she heard Zhang Li continue, "Even a ghost wouldn't be guilty of such a crime."

"Pfft~"

Jing Tian couldn't help laughing.

If you can speak, please speak more.

"Senior, I'm going to the bathroom first. I'll complain about him with you later."

After Jing Tian finished laughing, Zhang Li prepared to catch up with Zhang Han.

Judging from the character this guy just displayed, there is a high probability that he has some negative information in the past.

This is related to his competition for the leading actor!

"Go ahead." Jing Tian waved his hand: "Come back soon, I have good news for you."

good news?
Zhang Li's eyes flashed.

As far as he knew, whenever the women gave him a "+1", he would passively get the same improvement or a corresponding improvement for both men and women.

In other words, Jing Tian also has that [Designated Person’s Black Material +1].

Could it be that she has already used it on Zhang Han?

The two of them seem to have a good understanding of each other and have the same ideas.

"Okay, I'm quick."

In order to avoid waste, Zhang Li decided not to go to Zhang Han to use his [Designated Person Black Material +1] first.

It’s not too late to decide what to do next after listening to what Jing Tian has to say.

But since he had already mentioned going to the toilet, he decided to go first.

But what he didn't expect was that this was the right toilet.

There are two public toilets, one at the innermost and one at the outermost.

He chose the one inside, passing through several offices. From a distance, he saw Song Yang's niece walking out of an office and then entering the next office.

When passing by the office, he heard Zhang Han's voice coming from inside.

After his physical condition improved, his hearing ability was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
Glancing around, he stood by the door with his ears tilted.

Just then, Zhang Han said, "Brother Song, can we replace the second male lead, Zhang Li?"

Zhang Li: “.”

You and I have a good understanding.
