Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, starting with the strategy of 95 flowers to counterattack

Chapter 117 Zhou Ye, the Difficult One to Coax

The crew of "Cry Me a Sad River" took a two-day break!

The second female lead, Tang Xiaomi, was kicked out of the production team, and her scenes had to be reshot.

Gu Yang didn't care about this amount of money, and he had no objection to receiving cash.

She was replaced by Zhao Lusi, a new artist from Xinghe Media.

Zhao Lusi was overjoyed, she was absolutely thrilled.

She was initially a little upset about not being able to participate in Gu Yang's new movie "Better Days", but she didn't expect that her brother Gu Yang cared about her so much.

In order to find her a role, they actually kicked out someone who was already halfway through filming the movie as the third female lead?
this……!
Am I worthy?
As a minor actress, she certainly knew that in the entertainment industry, many pre-selected roles would be replaced by those with connections or resources.

She was replaced several times.

But she never imagined that she would grow up so fast that she would be able to replace someone else.
She made up her mind once again!

I have no way to repay you, so I can only find an opportunity to offer myself to you!
Some clueless staff members in the production crew were also dismissed.

Gu Yang originally wanted to get rid of Guo Xiaosi, but for some reason, Guo Xiaosi sent him an apology message that very night.

His tone was incredibly sincere.

He also said that since Zhang Ruonan was his person, she would be one of his own from now on.

I will definitely take good care of him on set!
What the hell?
This completely baffled Gu Yang!

Moreover, Guo Jingming was very sincere and even invited Gu Yang to participate in his new movie "L.O.R.D. 2: Cold-Blooded Feast".

They say he's the chosen one from the underworld!
Gu Yang thought about it and decided to decline the offer for the film, which was unable to be released in theaters due to Fan Bingbing's influence and has a Douban rating of 3.8.

However, he still accepted Guo Jingming's kindness, after all, being in the entertainment industry is all about interpersonal relationships.

Moreover, Guo Jingming was only a bit harsh on Zhang Ruonan's acting skills, which is actually not wrong.

His acting skills in "Nan Nan" are truly...!
He only stayed in Shanghai for one day before boarding a plane to Chongqing.

Zhang Ruonan, who had just returned to the film crew, felt that everything had changed.

Smiling faces were everywhere.

"Sister Nan, you've arrived!"

"Sister Nan, I've brought you some water!"

"Sister Nan, please sit in this chair; it has a backrest!"

The crew members started calling her Sister Nan.

He has become the undisputed tyrant on set!
The assistant, Yanzi, was completely stunned and couldn't get a word in edgewise.

However, she was also happy, as she had already made up her mind to follow Sister Nan for the rest of her life.

She had no idea that her complaint had brought the company's boss to the scene with just one phone call.

Is the relationship between Sister Nan and the boss really that terrifying?
What's there to hesitate about? Just cling to their coattails!

Even the lead actors, Zhao Yingbo and Ren Min, suddenly became very enthusiastic.

He acted as if he knew Zhang Ruonan very well, showing her great care.

In particular, producer Guo Jingming inexplicably started fawning over him.

"Nan Nan, are you tired? If you are, take a break before filming again, there's no rush!"

"Ren Min, can't you even act? When you were filming with Nan Nan, couldn't you have held back a bit? She's a newcomer, couldn't you have mentored her?"

"Nan Nan, if you have any grievances on set in the future, talk to your fourth brother. Your fourth brother and your Yang brother have a close relationship, so just treat them like family!"

……

A hot pot restaurant in a mountain city

The warm yellow light enveloped the rising steam, the beef tallow in the copper pot bubbled and churned, and the bright red broth reflected the trendy Chinese-style graffiti on the wall, giving it a warm glow.

Zhou Ye wore her hair in a high bun, with a few wisps of hair playfully hanging down beside her ears, and her silver star earrings swayed gently.

She wore a cream-colored short shearling coat over a blue hooded sweatshirt, with white slouch socks peeking out from under ripped jeans, and white platform sneakers. A cute bear charm hung from her quilted crossbody bag.

Zhang Jingyi wore her long, straight hair with slight curls at the ends, a pink fluffy headband, a beige corduroy jacket, a burgundy plaid pleated skirt, and over-the-knee boots with black lace trim peeking out from the side.

The two did not sit facing each other, but sat side by side next to each other.

They share a striking resemblance in their eyes and brows, looking exactly like a pair of young sisters.

Zhang Jingyi picked up a piece of dried bamboo shoots with her chopsticks: "Sister Ye, our new drama has already started filming, but the director still insists that we experience life for two days. What's going on here?"

She put the crisp, tender dried bamboo shoots into her mouth, her eyes full of doubt.

Zhou Ye scooped up a piece of fresh duck blood and watched it float and sink in the bubbling red soup: "Isn't it all to polish the so-called 'realism' so that we can get closer to the characters?"

She pouted, "But it's good this way, I can rest for a couple more days."

“By the way, Sister Ye,” Zhang Jingyi suddenly leaned closer, her eyes sparkling with gossip, “Where has President Gu been these past few days? I noticed his schedule is suddenly empty for several days, and I haven’t seen him at all.”

Zhou Ye paused, his hand still holding the duck blood, and said casually, "Where else could he go? I heard there was some trouble with the film crew in Shanghai, and he went to handle it."

She put a piece of duck blood in her mouth, but couldn't taste anything. She had already figured out 99 different family recipes, just waiting for Gu Yang to come back so she could put them into practice one by one.

That bastard abandoned the film crew here without a word and went to Shanghai to stand up for Zhang Ruonan.

They didn't even bother to report it!
Besides, Zhang Ruonan isn't your wife, so why are you, as the boss, being so enthusiastic?
She's actually a bit temperamental.

She was quite angry that one of her company's artists was being bullied, especially by her friend Zhang Ruonan.

Gu Yang's actions were a bit impulsive, but otherwise there was nothing wrong with them. Shen Wei had already told her that Nan Nan was having a really tough time in Shanghai!

Jumping into a lake in the dead of winter, jumping off buildings dozens of times while suspended by wires...!
It’s so bullying!

What angered her most was that Gu Yang didn't take her with him.

Zhang Jingyi blinked and gave a meaningful smile: "Could it be related to that Zhang Ruonan? I heard she's not doing too well on set."

“What could it possibly have to do with anything?” Zhou Ye picked up his drink and took a sip. “He was just going to handle some work.”

As they were talking, Zhou Ye's phone vibrated on the table, and the words "Gu Yang" were particularly eye-catching on the screen.

Miss Zhou was very angry and decided to give someone the cold shoulder.

So, she quietly gnawed on the chicken foot for five seconds.

He couldn't wait to answer the phone.

"Who are you?"

As Zhou Ye spoke, he munched on a chicken foot, deliberately making a "crunching" sound through the microphone.

There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone: "Your father!"

"Snapped!"

Miss Zhou was so angry that she stopped eating the chicken feet and was about to explode when she saw Zhang Jingyi looking at her with a gossipy expression.

He quickly controlled his emotions and said in a sarcastic tone.

"Hey, isn't this our busy CEO Gu? What, all done with things in Shanghai? How was the feeling of being a hero? Did Nan Nan repay you with her body?"

Gu Yang had a headache; this little girl was angry again!
Hard to appease!

He sighed helplessly, "Yeah! Zhang Ruonan is our Little Coconut's sister, so as her family member, I should at least do my part!"

"But don't worry, Assistant Director Zhou, I just dealt with it quickly and am right back! I'm already downstairs at the hot pot restaurant, waiting in the rain for that 'ancestor' who refuses to answer the phone!"

Zhou Ye paused, peered out the window, and sure enough, saw Gu Yang standing under the streetlight, his suit shoulders soaked with rain.

She hurriedly tucked her phone between her neck and shoulder: "Who wants to eat with you! I haven't finished my hotpot yet."

"I brought mango pomelo sago and mango pancakes," Gu Yang said slowly. "Someone posted on WeChat yesterday that they wanted to eat Honeymoon Dessert!"

Zhou Ye was secretly delighted!
She got angry last night and posted a WeChat Moments update every five minutes that was only visible to Gu Yang.

Damn it, why didn't this guy leave a comment after seeing this?

It made her post all night.

So she grumbled, "Then...then I'll give you a chance to make amends! Come up here!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jingyi leaned over and said, "Was that President Gu? Sister Ye, the way you two were flirting was so sweet it made my teeth ache! Is he coming over to apologize now?"

Zhou Ye blushed and tossed the duck intestines into her bowl: "Hmm! Eat yours! If you say another word, I'll throw you into the hot pot!"

Zhang Jingyi covered her mouth and chuckled, "I'm going to the restroom."

After saying that, she rushed to the bathroom, quickly applied a layer of lipstick in front of the mirror, then stood on tiptoe to fluff up her hair, even carefully tucking the stray hairs behind her ears.

When Gu Yang entered the private room, he was stunned for a moment.

He originally thought it was just Zhou Ye, but he didn't expect Zhang Jingyi to be there too.

"Hello, Director Gu!"

Zhang Jingyi quickly stood up, bowed, and greeted them.

"Jingyi's here too." Gu Yang quickly regained his composure, waving his hand with a smile. "Please sit down, don't be so formal. Just call me senior brother from now on, we're from the same school."

"Senior brother!" Zhang Jingyi replied sweetly, while secretly glancing at Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye slowly and methodically picked out fish bones from the bone plate. When she lowered her eyes, her eyelashes cast a fan-shaped shadow under her eyes. Her small face was tense, and she didn't even dare to glance at Gu Yang out of the corner of her eye.

Gu Yang always felt that...

Little Coconut is most beautiful when she's angry; that aloof and elegant air about her is overwhelming.

Gu Yang sat down in the chair opposite them.

One was stunningly beautiful and aloof, the other had a radiant smile; he was almost mesmerized by their beauty.

I wonder what it would be like if these two girls were together in a different setting?
Gu Yang was indeed starving. After sitting down, he didn't stand on ceremony. He picked up his chopsticks, grabbed a large piece of tripe, rolled it in the sesame oil sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth in a few bites.

Cool!
"Ugh, it's so windy and cold here!" Zhou Ye suddenly frowned and cursed, her eyelashes fluttering.

She stood up and ran to Gu Yang's side with small, quick steps.

Under Zhang Jingyi's somewhat resentful gaze, she sat down close to Gu Yang like a clingy kitten, and even deliberately rubbed against him.

Gu Yang was engrossed in eating, his mouth greasy, and he didn't notice Zhou Ye's little actions at all.

But before long, he found that there was more and more food in his bowl.

"These meatballs are awful, perfect for feeding pigs!" Zhou Ye said coldly, picking up a meatball with his chopsticks and slamming it into Gu Yang's bowl.

"This vegetable isn't fresh, it's fit for pigs!" She disdainfully shoved another plate of greens into his bowl.

"The mutton is all overcooked..." Zhou Ye continued to complain, her slender fingers never stopping as she threw all sorts of dishes into Gu Yang's bowl.

She complained verbally, but her eyes kept secretly glancing at him.

Son of a bitch!
I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget, you've been gone so long without contacting me!
