The Birth of the Best Director

Chapter 21 Ning Hao, why don’t you marry a princess?

……

On the eve of the Chinese New Year, Lu Zhiyuan worked overtime at the company.

But Xin Yukun was not idle.

The MV of the song "Maybe" has been very popular recently, making Yuankun Company famous, and Xin Yukun's status in the circle has also risen rapidly.

In the past, those advertising companies that ignored him now surrounded him, hoping to get some work from him.

After all, those female stars have been going crazy recently. They all want Lu Zhiyuan to help them shoot MVs, and they can name any price.

Lu Zhiyuan didn't want to be fickle and cause Miss Jing Tian to misunderstand, so he could introduce them.

They don’t mind!
"Xiao Ai, you look so beautiful today."

For the reunion dinner on the eve of the Chinese New Year, Xin Yukun specially booked a private room in a star-rated hotel.

He also cleaned up quickly. Not only did he wipe off the lipstick marks on his neck, he also went home to change his clothes and sprayed a lot of deodorant.

Otherwise, when I go out to discuss business, the scent of perfume left on me by those vulgar women will cause the goddess to misunderstand me.

"Thank you."

Zhang Tianai smiled shyly, then looked around and didn't see Lu Zhiyuan, so she chose a seat closer to the inside.

Try to stay away from Xin Yukun.

She didn't hate Xin Yukun, she just didn't want to be misunderstood.

Noticing Zhang Tianai's little action, Xin Yukun sighed and warmly invited other friends to sit down and have dinner together.

……

After a good meal and a good drink, it’s getting late.

Lu Zhiyuan hasn't come yet, and he probably won't come.

Zhang Tianai sighed, squeezed the two movie tickets in his hand that were almost crumpled, and put them back silently.

"Xiao Ai, shall I take you there?"

"No need, Brother Kun, I have an appointment to go to the movies."

Faced with Xin Yukun's courtesy, Zhang Tianai smiled brightly, took out the two movie tickets, and waved them at Xin Yukun, pretending to have a date.

This made Xin Yukun look gloomy for a moment.

Hey.

Xiao Ai looks gentle, but she is actually a rose with thorns and is not easy to approach.

"I'm going to the movies too. Otherwise, if I go back so early, where will I save face?"

I'm dressed so flashily today. If I go home before 9 o'clock, won't Ayuan laugh at me to death?

Xin Yukun found a nearby cinema.

It just so happened that the movie "Crazy Racing" was released.

Xin Yukun watched Ning Hao's previous work "Crazy Stone" many times.

The multi-line narrative style in the script of "The Heart Labyrinth" borrows some techniques from this movie.

Xin Yukun is looking forward to Ning Hao's new movie.

The key is……

Today is [Half-Price Day].

If you don’t take advantage of this opportunity, you will be doing yourself a disservice!

"One ticket for 'Crazy Racing.' I have my student ID."

"?"

Nowadays, some cinemas offer student discounts. Ordinary people buy tickets for about 35 yuan, while students buy tickets for 25 yuan, which is half price, so it’s 12.5 yuan.

But Xin Yukun's haggard face left the ticket seller speechless.

But in the end, the ticket seller didn't say anything and gave him a discounted ticket with an additional discount.

……

Yuankun Media office building, with a cinema not far away.

The movie is about to start.

Zhang Tianai practiced smiling in front of the mirror several times, then took out her cell phone and called Lu Zhiyuan.

"Ayuan, I bought two movie tickets. My friend suddenly broke the appointment. It's right across from your company. I'd like to give you a chance to watch the movie with me."

"It's my honor. However, I'm working overtime and have some unfinished business. Maybe next time. I'll treat you next time."

Lu Zhiyuan's tactful refusal made Zhang Tianai's nose sore.

It's so cold today that my nose is frozen.

But after a while, Lu Zhiyuan said again: "After you finish watching the movie, I should be almost done with my work. Then, we can carpool back together to save some taxi fare."

How to save on taxi fares?

You've already received millions in investment, and this is all you need?
It's obvious that he wants to stay with me for a while.

That’s okay.

Hey hey hey hey!
……

"Crazy Racing", just started not long ago.

Xin Yukun's eyes widened, and admiration surged in his heart.

"Fuck, Ning Hao is so awesome!" "He's a true Chinese Guy Ritchie!"

"What a pity! Why doesn't he marry a princess?"

——Guy Ritchie married Madonna, so Ning Hao should marry the princess, so that the granularity is aligned!

At least, that's what Xin Yukun thought.

His idol is Jim Lemley, an ordinary filmmaker who sounds like a nobody.

But he once had the most beautiful woman in the world, Sophie Marceau, and they had a beautiful daughter.

This is what a winner in life is.

……

"Ayuan, the movie is quite interesting, but the male lead is so ugly, and he even dyed his hair yellow. Watching it in the cinema is really eye-catching."

"I still like the music videos you shot. They are beautiful and romantic. It would be very interesting to see your work in a cinema."

"You refused me the role of the second female lead. If you make a bad movie, I'll come to your house and hit you on the head."

snort!
Although Lu Zhiyuan was deliberately acting in front of Zhao Shanshan, he was so disrespectful to say that his acting skills were poor and superficial, which really made people unhappy.

just wait.

I will definitely prove myself!
……

In another cinema.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and Jing Tian has asked for leave from the crew. This is a benefit for the eldest daughter.

As for the others, they were still working hard on the crew.

"Sister Shanshan, Ning Hao's movie is quite interesting."

Inside the cinema, laughter could be heard every now and then, and the attendance rate was quite good. Jing Tian was very sure that this movie was going to be a hit.

"Yeah, this kid is lucky. He escaped."

Zhao Shanshan nodded.

Zhang Yadong is now like a rat crossing the street, not daring to show his head.

Ning Hao had also helped Jing Tian shoot MVs and could be considered Zhang Yadong's accomplice. However, Ning Hao was an okay person. Like Lu Zhiyuan, he just worked hard.

However, Ning Hao did not fail, which made Zhao Shanshan feel that something was missing.

It’s like when I was a kid, I would go to the fish pond to drain the water during the winter break. Even though I had caught all the big fish, I always felt that there were still some fish that had slipped through the net at the bottom of the pond.

She knew that her damn obsessive-compulsive disorder had struck again!

……

It's past midnight.

The box office figures for "Crazy Racing" have just been released. Even though it encountered the "Half-Price Day", it still won a good start with a box office of 820 million.

According to general rules, the final box office of this movie should reach 80 million. With luck, it will enter the 100 million yuan club.

"Haozi, congratulations, it's another great film! Based on the current reputation, it will definitely break the 100 million yuan box office. By then, you will be the youngest director to join the 100 million yuan club."

"Come on, have a drink!"

Ning Hao's success made Zhang Yadong proud and felt that he had regained some face.

A while ago, after "Maybe" became popular, they both became trending topics and were scolded by netizens together. They were considered to be brothers in distress.

There was an inexplicable bond.

"Brother Dong, I'd like to borrow your good words."

Ning Hao and Zhang Yadong's relationship is actually average.

However, as a big shot in the music industry and with a former sister-in-law who is a superstar, Zhang Yadong's status and connections in the circle are naturally needless to say.

Since the other party is so enthusiastic, Ning Hao has to give him some face.

"Haozi, people on the internet say you're the Chinese Guy Ritchie..."

Before Zhang Yadong finished speaking, Ning Hao's face suddenly changed and he shook his head hurriedly: "No, no, I'm not. I have a happy marriage and my wife is very good. I have never thought about marrying a princess."

Ning Hao also saw the discussions online.

——【Guy Ritchie married Madonna, why didn’t Ning Hao marry a princess? 】

Damn.

Damn it!

That day, when he was reading gossip online, he happened to see this piece. For some unknown reason, his hand slipped and he clicked on it and took a few glances.

I just want to see how amazing netizens are.

However, after a while, he felt a shadowy figure passing behind him. That night, he couldn't sleep, fearing that he would fall asleep forever.

Why else does Zhang Yadong want to mention Guy Ritchie?

He definitely thinks he's not dying fast enough!
Walls have ears, do you understand?
"What are you thinking about? Even though the princess is my ex-sister-in-law, she's still my sister-in-law! Can you be a little respectful? Stop thinking about it all the time!"

After scolding Ning Hao harshly, telling him he shouldn't be so rebellious, Zhang Yadong changed the subject and asked, "Haozi, let me ask you seriously, is the 'Heart Labyrinth' project that Jing Tian invested in, in your opinion, viable?"

This question made Ning Hao confused for a moment.

There's nothing here, how can I see it?
He kindly advised: "Brother Dong, are you still thinking about this matter? Listen to my advice, it is better to resolve a feud than to create one."

Zhang Yadong hesitated, and under Ning Hao's gaze, she finally said, "Well, I'm also planning to make a short film, a science fiction romance. I've already decided on a title: '11 Degrees of Youth LI'."

What the hell?

Can you say that again?
