Abstract Art Award Winner

Chapter 113: Heart-beating Meng Ziyi
After Zhou Le finished filming, Meng Ziyi also thought about it for a long time.

She does not plan to renew her contract with her previous company. Logically speaking, her resources are still very good now, and she has also teamed up with Tencent. After all, although "The Untamed" filmed last year was adapted from Jinjiang's book, Tencent originally took over Jinjiang's shares from Shanda.

Including subsequent releases will also be on Tencent Video.

Moreover, the upcoming drama "Ever Night" is also produced by Yuewen, which also belongs to Tencent.

She had previously contacted people from Tencent Pictures and learned that they were considering having her star in another TV series produced by the company, "The Starlight That Belongs to Me".

If you follow Zhou Le's current path, it is not impossible to open a studio and affiliate it with Tencent.

But Meng Ziyi currently has no intention of becoming a boss at all, and she feels that she will not have any say in Tencent if she is simply affiliated with it.

Might as well add a company.

Huace, which had contacted Yu Shuxin before, actually also contacted her.

But she always felt that the other party was more focused on content than artists. Just like what Yu Shu thought, Huace couldn't even promote its own artists.

There is also Yuekai.

The boss Jia Shikai is a gold medal agent from Huanrui, with both resources and strength.

We talked about it at that time, and the other party was very good at shaping characters.

But the problem is that Meng Ziyi is now troubled by her own broken personality. She has to go from being a black-and-red person to being a white-and-white person in the future, which makes her feel a little resistant.

Actually, from the bottom of my heart.

It’s really nice to go to Yuekai, but the problem is that Zhou Le’s place seems to be more humane.

Moreover, Zhou Le himself is abstract enough. He seems to be walking the same path as himself, but now Zhou Le seems to have no black spots that can be confirmed.

This is awesome.

However, her contract with the company has not expired yet, so Meng Ziyi wants to think about it again.

However, she has already agreed to make a cameo appearance in "The Wandering Earth".

For Guo Fan, adding scenes is never something worth bothering about.

It just so happened that the highlight of the film was going to be shot in the afternoon.

Guo Fan directly assigned Meng Ziyi the role of a driver. Drivers from different bases drove cars on the snow.

The survivors who were previously scheduled to appear on camera were all foreigners.

It is mainly to show unity in times of crisis.

But Guo Fan added an extra female driver.

This is also the first time that Meng Ziyi has put on such a messy makeup in a film or TV series.

Even the clothes were dirty.

"Okay, Mr. Meng, great acting!"

"It's wonderful!"

The shot was easy to shoot since it was inside the prop truck and there was green cloth outside.

Just make a few determined expressions.

After the filming, Guo Fan took the lead in standing up and applauding. The entire crew had long been accustomed to it. Anyway, these guest appearances were either deceived by Guo Fan or Zhou Le.

Without these two people, the crew would have collapsed long ago.

So now the emotional values of various supporting roles and staff members are given extremely well.

After all, we filmed it for so long and put in so much effort, and we have developed feelings for it.

This was the first time Meng Ziyi had experienced such a situation.

From the director to the staff, it was praised so highly.

I felt a little embarrassed for a moment: "Thank you, thank you."

Although he is usually abstract, he is only in his early twenties after all, so he is still relatively thin-skinned.

"Otherwise, I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight."

As soon as these words were spoken, cheers were heard from the entire crew!

Meng Ziyi's vanity reached its peak at this moment.

When other crews treat guests, the most they get is a few people calling out "Sister Meng" a few times, but there are still some people who feel unhappy because their rest time is being taken away.

The atmosphere is so great!

We are all friendly and loving!
Although it would cost at least tens of thousands to entertain so many people, it was the first time she felt so happy spending the money.

What she didn't know was that although the crew was doing better now, they still remembered how hard life was back then, and every time they treated a guest artist to a meal it was like Chinese New Year.

Meng Ziyi originally planned to treat everyone to a good meal.

But at night, Guo Fan still took him to the place they frequented most.

That store is newly opened.

I had thought that since it was close to the film and television city, there would be no shortage of customers, but who would have thought that the wealthy actors in the crew didn't eat here, and the meals ordered by the extras were delivered by fixed people.

It almost closed down after just three months of opening.

It happened that Guo Fan came at this time. He found this restaurant on Meituan while entertaining guests, so he came over for a simple meal.

Who would have thought that it tasted good, but was a little expensive.

Since then, whenever someone invited them to dinner, they would come here, recommend Xu Zheng and others to come as well, and even asked the restaurant owner to play a supporting role.

So whenever there is a dinner party, Guo Fan will tell the boss in advance and he will drive himself to buy all kinds of precious ingredients to cook.

Just the cost price.

The boss knows everyone in the crew of "The Wandering Earth".

Just a glance and I knew that Meng Ziyi was probably going to treat us today.

After all, every time they come, the person who is praised by Teacher Zhou and Director Guo must be the one who pays the money in the end.

The meal took more than two hours.

Meng Ziyi was also praised for more than two hours.

Although we don't drink alcohol or beverages, everyone is so enthusiastic that even when offering tea, they come to each table one by one, and after one person finishes offering tea, it's the next one within a few minutes.

"Teacher Zhou, the people here are really welcoming."

Zhou Le smiled and said, "Of course, we've always been like this. As long as you treat us, even the director is not as senior as you!"

Meng Ziyi was shocked.

Subconsciously looked at Guo Fan.

"That's right, whoever treats is the biggest boss. Teacher Meng, don't be restrained. Come, I'll pour you some water."

Guo Fan said as he picked up the kettle and filled it up for Meng Ziyi.

"By the way, Mr. Meng, I heard that your contract with your company is about to expire?"

"Yeah, Director Guo also knows this?"

Guo Fan smiled and said, "I know. I know everything about the circle. After all, I am a director."

"But I think you can consider Teacher Zhou. Apart from anything else, his resources are definitely strong enough. You must have thought about opening your own studio and then joining Tencent or iQiyi, but I don't know if you have ever thought that even if you join them, you may not be able to get a good role.

But Teacher Zhou is different. Behind Teacher Zhou now are Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, Wu Jing, Tencent, and me. Of course, I am nothing, but Teacher Zhou can get good roles from Tencent. You understand, you should also understand the difference between traffic dramas and quality dramas.

I think Mr. Zhou’s strongest point is that he is truly willing to secure resources for artists. He recently filmed a variety show.”

Having said that, Guo Fan looked at Zhou Le.

Zhou Le understood and said the name of the variety show: "Longing for Life, the one with He Jiong and Huang Lei."

"It's because of that thing there." Guo Fan looked at Zhou Le again.

"Xiaotian, Tian Xiwei, Shuxin knows her."

"You're going to exchange favors yourself, and you're still worried that he won't be able to give you any resources?"

Meng Ziyi watched the two of them singing in unison.

Also fell into deep thought.

"Don't think about it. If I were you, I would terminate my contract with my current company directly and go to Mr. Zhou no matter how much liquidated damages I have to pay!"

Zhou Le watched Guo Fan's words become more and more outrageous: "It's almost done. It won't take a few months."

"So what? At worst, I can take the civil service exam. I have to terminate my contract anyway. I can't stay here for even a day!"

As Guo Fan spoke, he became angry.

"Director Guo, that's enough. There's really no rush. Let Xiao Meng think about it. We're all friends after all."

Guo Fan gradually calmed down.

It was just that Meng Ziyi had just finished filming The Untamed, so she came to complain. Since she had nothing else to do, she planned to stay a few days longer. The next day, Guo Fan invited her to the crew again, under the pretext of giving her some advice.

On this day, Guo Fan directly called Shen Teng, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo over from next door.

In addition, he and Zhou Le got along well and were chatting and laughing.

Meng Ziyi saw everything.

Another day passed.

Someone came from Tencent Pictures.

Because of the contract signed before, they also sent the script. Now Zhou Le can choose two to play the leading male role and two to play other roles.

"The Son-in-Law", "Joy of Life", "The King's Avatar", "Ghost Blows Out the Light", etc. are all its own IPs.

Zhou Le took a look at the titles of these books.

Among them, "Joy of Life" and "The Rebel Princess" are my favorites.

But "The Son-in-Law" has not been completed yet. Zhou Le estimated that at the other party's speed, it would take another three years to finish it.

The resentment is really too great.

Therefore, Zhou Le first decided on "Joy of Life".

"The King's Avatar" is actually quite popular, but Zhou Le feels that this book is more popular in the fujoshi circle. Zhou Le doesn't like this kind of CP. It's okay to write himself into pornographic texts, but it's very disgusting to write himself into BL pornographic texts.

There are only two things Zhou Le can remember about "Ghost Blows Out the Light" now.

First, the book is very good and very classic.

Second, the original author was cheated and sold the copyright at an extremely low price.

"Joy of Life" and "Ghost Blows Out the Light"."

Zhou Le chose these two.

However, after seeing Ghost Blows Out the Light, the other party was a little embarrassed: "Teacher Zhou, there is no problem with Joy of Life, because the project has not started yet. We only have the script and the roles can be chosen at will. But for Ghost Blows Out the Light, we took it over from Noon Sunshine as a sequel.

The actor was supposed to be replaced, but due to the subject matter, it needed to be reviewed and prepared in advance, so the project has already been approved, and the director has found Guan Hu, who has just selected the lead actor. Pan Yueming directly signed on for the next five installments. But if it's this one, would you like to take a look at the role of Partridge Whistle?

Zhou Le doesn't need to look at it extra.

Partridge Whistle himself knows it.

"That's fine, but then it doesn't count as me choosing two male leads, right?"

Zhou Le still wanted to bargain.

But the other party smiled again: "Teacher Zhou, don't worry, we are very transparent in our work. The leader told me when I came here that if you choose "Ghost Blows Out the Light", this one will not count. Just consider it as our invitation. However, if you want to play the part of Partridge Whistle, you need to know martial arts."

"Martial arts? I know that."

Wu Jing knew that Zhou Le was not lying.

"That's fine, but don't you have anything else you like?"

"Nothing else for now, or if there's something suitable later, I'll choose it."

"That's okay too."

However, Zhou Le thought about it again: "Oh right, in these plays, I want to bring one or two of my people with me."

Staff: "The main role may require an audition, but under the same conditions, you will definitely be given priority. Is that okay with you?"

"That's fine."

After all, they are the ones who have taken a fancy to me, and letting me play the number one role is already a great honor to them.

Moreover, the previous "Fights Break Sphere" flopped, and Dou Qi Hua Ma became a laughing stock for many years.

So they divided the development of this batch into three directions.

The first is "Fighter of the Destiny", in which popular stars play the leading roles.

The second is "Ever Night", which was filmed by a famous director, his son and several veteran actors.

The third is "Joy of Life", which does not use traffic stars, but only uses actors with good acting skills.

It’s like raising poisonous insects within Tencent Games.

Tencent also has more than one entertainment company under its umbrella.

There are Tencent Pictures, Penguin Pictures, and many subsidiaries.

They are connected to each other and yet compete with each other.

It’s also about raising Gu.

After walking out of the room, Meng Ziyi curiously asked what they talked about.

Zhou Le told the other party that he had taken on the male lead role in "Joy of Life".

"Joy of Life?"

Meng Ziyi is about to film "Ever Night", so he naturally knows that "Joy of Life" is also the work of the same author.

It is even clearer that these two dramas plus "Fighter of the Destiny" are the Mao Ni trilogy currently planned by China Literature.

But the leading actor of Fighter of the Destiny is Lu Han.

Absolutely top-tier.

Chen Feiyu, the leading actor of "Ever Night", is not that famous, but his father is Chen Kaige.

When it came to Zhou Le, he actually played the leading male role?
Is the pace of development too fast?
Obviously, he was not as good as me before.

As a result, he now plays the leading role in this kind of IP works?
"Sure enough, this is the gap."

She thought of what Guo Fan said again.

They both partnered with Tencent, but Zhou Le might not be able to get the same position as him.

But she still wanted to take another look.

So a few days later, Meng Ziyi went back.

Zhou Le knew that the other party had wavered. If he still didn't come, it meant that they were not destined to be together.

But this fate is just a fate of cooperation.

Before leaving, Meng Ziyi said that she would eat the meal that cost 5,000 yuan per person after Zhou Le finished filming "The Wandering Earth" and returned.

Zhao Jinmai also went back to prepare for the exam five days before the high school entrance examination.

The good news is that after Zhao Jinmai finished the exam, he said that he did very well this time and his estimated score was also very high.

Zhao Jinmai's mother was also very happy.

First, he invited Zhou Le to have a meal alone.

Then he treated the entire crew to a meal.

All the money spent was Zhao Jinmai's pocket money.

When the crew members found out that it was actually Zhao Jinmai who was treating them, they simply said that they could just have something ordinary.

After all, this little girl is also very likable in the crew.

The rest of the filming is just the end.

As the film was completed, the crew disbanded.

At the final wrap-up banquet, Guo Fan sincerely thanked everyone, especially Gong Ge'er, Wu Jing and Zhou Le.

In the end, everyone drank too much

Zhou Le was helped back by Su Yingxia.

I wanted to do something, but found myself powerless.

The night ended abruptly and it was not until the next day that we were able to pick ourselves up again.

After returning to BJ, Zhou Le visited Yu Qian's home and then slept at home for two days.

During the months of filming "The Wandering Earth".

Zhou Le felt as if several years had passed.

too tired.

Not only is my body tired, but my mind is tired too.

The office decoration is almost done, and the smell needs to be dissipated, so we only hired a cleaning lady to come and open the windows every day.

But Zhou Le's good days didn't last long before he received a call from Han Han.

"Le'er, now that you're done over there, it's time for you to come over to my place, right?"

"Let's learn how to race cars first. Once you've learned enough, it's time to start filming 'Speeding Life'."
