Huayu after the system left

...........

On the way back.

Ms. Xu suddenly asked, "What if Ranran lived with you for the next two years?"

Hearing this, Zhou Yang said helplessly, "Mom, even if you're eager to have a grandson, you don't need to plant a spy, do you?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You really didn't mean that?"

Zhou Yang was somewhat suspicious.

Ms. Xu rolled her eyes at him. "Do I need to plant spies to find out what you two are up to? I knew you weren't really into Ranran, you brat, humph!"

"Mom, trying to provoke me won't work on your son. Besides, I can't make this decision on my own."

"Shishi will definitely agree."

Zhou Yang felt a slight pain in a certain part of his shoulder.

To know.

He hadn't eaten meat for a full two weeks before last night.

However, Liu Shishi remained silent throughout the entire process due to her reserved nature.

However, her clenched teeth and silent demeanor greatly aroused someone's sexual interest, but the price was a deep bite mark left on her shoulder.

So Zhou Yang simply uttered two words.

"Hard to say."

"What do you mean? Could it be that Shishi doesn't actually like Ranran?"

Zhou Yang shook his head, thought for a moment, and then gave a compromise suggestion: "Why don't you, Mom, persuade my sister to move to another house? That way, there won't be any problems."

Ms. Xu immediately understood the whole story.

She glared at her son before nodding in agreement.

Zhou Yang smiled but remained silent.

After taking his elderly mother home, he set off for Tianfeng Special Effects.

in the afternoon.

He then met those soldiers who were disguised.

Well, how should I put it?

If we hadn't known in advance.

Zhou Yang would definitely think of them as just ordinary people like programmers and engineers.

However, there was still one spot that was slightly exposed.

capacity for liquor.

During a dinner gathering in the evening.

Watching these newcomers boldly challenge the company's veterans to drinking contests.

Zhou Yang then whispered to Brother Wang beside him, "Should we remind them a little that their alcohol tolerance seems a bit abnormal?"

"I arranged this once, just this time, to help them integrate into the company as quickly as possible."

"I see. No wonder someone like you who doesn't like crowds would suggest a dinner party."

"By the way, your sister-in-law will be coming tomorrow."

"Are the costumes all designed?"

"That's right."

Zhou Yang's face immediately lit up with excitement as he said, "Great! Now the project can officially start. How much money do we have left in the account?"

Brother Wang rolled his eyes at him, "You can do whatever you want with up to two hundred million."

"Dollar?"

"Get lost!"

"Isn't that a bit too little, considering that the TV series and the movie are being launched simultaneously?"

"Don't be fooled by the publicity of those film and television companies, especially film and television projects controlled by listed companies. Their publicized expenses are more than half of what they actually spend."

"I know that, but isn't this about striving for perfection?"

"Two hundred million, not a penny more. If it's not enough, find another way."

"All right."

Next, Zhou Yang began to plan how to save costs.

soon.

He naturally turned his attention to the pay.

no way.

This is the place where you can save the most money.

The person who would be the first to face this issue is naturally Liu Shishi.

After returning home.

Zhou Yang then subtly mentioned it to the other party.

Never thought.

Liu Shishi immediately objected, "You brat, you actually want your older sister to work for free? I'm a top-tier celebrity!"

"How could it be working for free? Didn't I tell you to announce your salary to the public as you wish?"

"No, I need to see actual paychecks; I need to earn money to buy a bigger house."

"what?"

Zhou Yang was stunned.

I thought to myself that Ms. Xu's efficiency was a bit too high.

That's how you convince people?

So he had no choice but to tell the truth: "Brother Wang said he can only give me 200 million, so sister, you can just not ask for a salary."

"Hmph, I'll have to think about it."

"How about I talk to Xiao Ding and we don't make Su Ru the female lead in 'Wilderness Journey'? After all, I can't afford to pay the top actress's salary for the female lead."

"You dare, you brat!"

Liu Shishi pretended to be very angry and pounced on him.

The two argued for a while, during which they officially settled the matter of her acting for free.

Zhou Yang then called Hu Ge again and persuaded him to give up his salary using a different approach.

The process was very simple, and it was done in just a few words, since what the other party really needed was the movie resource.

The next day.

Zhou Yang then took the two of them to meet Brother Wang's wife.

The other party's name is Liu Manting.

My job is as a makeup artist in a department of CCTV.

After meeting.

She first sized up Liu Shishi and Hu Ge for a while before asking, "Are these Zhang Xiaofan and Lu Xueqi?"

Zhou Yang shook his head. "No, it's Wan Jianyi and Su Ru."

"Didn't you say you wanted to play Wan Jianyi?"

"After thinking about it, I decided to direct it myself, so I have to focus my main energy on filming."

"I see." Liu Manting nodded and said to the other two, "You two come with me. I've finished making the costumes for the main characters in the movie."

Zhou Yang quickly said, "Sister-in-law, do you have any costumes that match the TV series plot? I don't want the movie to be exposed yet."

"Don't worry, it's all done, but I won't wear old-age makeup."

"It's okay, I'll find someone who knows how to do it right away."

"Okay, then I'll take your sister there first."

After the two women left.

Hu Ge asked, somewhat bewildered, "President Zhou, are we taking some promotional photos?"

"Pretty much, but the main thing is to announce the confirmed roles so my inbox doesn't keep getting a ton of spam."

"Is there someone vying for the role of Wan Jianyi? I remember he didn't have many scenes in the novel."

"But he's handsome, otherwise why would I want to play the role myself?"

"That's true."

Two hours later.

Zhou Yang then posted photos of Wan Jianyi and Su Ru's different costumes in movies and TV series on Weibo.

The sensation it caused was considerable.

After all, the film project hasn't been revealed yet, and even Xiao Ding's "Wilderness Journey" hasn't been released.

What people saw was that Liu Shishi and Hu Ge, two top-tier artists, only played minor roles in "Zhu Xian".

Now the other characters are even more sought after.

And shortly after it was posted on Weibo.

Liu Shishi then received a call from Li Yitong, "Liu Shishi, did you do this on purpose?"

"You're overthinking it, junior sister. I'm doing this for the good of the whole project."

"Then why did you have to play the role of Su Ru?"

I can tell from the sound.

Li Yitong on the other end of the phone was trying her best to suppress her anger.

Liu Shishi then asked with a smile, "Didn't you know Zhou Yang has a film project in his hands?"

"I know, but what does that have to do with you playing Su Ru?"

"It's a huge deal. Besides, are you really going to give up the role just because I'm playing Tian Ling'er's mother?"

"Impossible, I won't let you succeed."

These words almost made Liu Shishi burst out laughing.

I thought to myself, forget it.

I'd better not tell Li Yitong. Actually, the fact that she was cast as Tian Ling'er was the result of my secret guidance.

Otherwise, this younger sister might just give up and start preparing to have a baby.
