Chapter 205 Meng Ziyi, a New Artist from Xinghe

Located in the western suburbs of Yanjing, this private club is hidden deep in a bamboo forest. With its green tiles and white walls, and a courtyard with artificial hills and flowing water, it is quiet and elegant.

Jia Shikai's black Mercedes slowly drove in, followed by Yang Yang and Meng Ziyi's cars.

As he got off the bus, Jia Shikai looked up at the sky. It was covered with dark clouds, as if a storm was about to break.

"Mr. Jia, this place is really out of the way," Yang Yang said, half-jokingly, glancing around. "Mr. Gu, what big business deal are you looking to discuss?"

Jia Shikai twitched the corner of his mouth: "Who knows?"

Meng Ziyi followed behind, head down, playing on her phone, without saying a word.

Jia Shikai glanced at her, feeling a surge of annoyance.

This girl, she's too lazy to even pretend anymore.

After passing through the corridor, a waiter led them to a tea room.

Before Gu Yang arrived, Jia Shikai lit a cigarette and said in an unfriendly tone, "Ziyi, shouldn't you give me an explanation about 'The Untamed'?"

It makes me angry just thinking about it. What a great project "The Untamed" was! He worked on it for a long time to get Meng Ziyi the role of Wen Qing.

Although the main story of this drama is about Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji's unconventional "love", Wen Qing is obviously also an important character.

But this girl actually refused!
What does this mean? Have they grown too big for their britches?

Meng Ziyi didn't even look up: "Didn't I say? Gu Yang wouldn't let me answer."

"Gu Yang won't let you answer?" Jia Shikai sneered. "Are you Yuekai's artist or Xinghe Media's artist?"

Seeing this, Yang Yang quickly tried to smooth things over: "President Jia, Ziyi may have her own considerations..."

"Consider?" Jia Shikai exhaled a puff of smoke. "How many resources were spent on the initial setup? Now you're just going to back out like this? How are you going to explain this to Tencent?"

Meng Ziyi finally looked up, her tone calm: "Penguin has agreed."

Jia Shikai choked.

Damn, I almost forgot, Penguin and Gu Yang are now in cahoots.

"Okay, you're good." Jia Shikai stubbed out his cigarette. "If Gu Yang can't offer satisfactory terms later, this isn't over."

Since Gu Yang hasn't arrived yet, I can't lose face.

They had only been sitting for a short while when the door to the tea room was pushed open, and Gu Yang walked in, dressed casually, followed by his assistant.

"Sorry to keep you waiting." He smiled slightly, his gaze sweeping over the three of them before finally settling on Meng Ziyi's face, where he nodded gently.

“President Gu,” Jia Shikai stood up to shake hands, his smile forced.

Yang Yang also greeted him politely: "Hello, Director Gu."

Meng Ziyi, however, bypassed the two of them and quickly walked to Gu Yang's side, sitting down close to him with undisguised joy on her face.

Completely ignoring everyone else!

Jia Shikai's eye twitched.

This lady has an incredibly high level of insensitivity!
After a round of tea, Gu Yang put down his cup and got straight to the point: "President Jia, the reason I invited you here today is to talk about Ziyi."

Jia Shikai raised an eyebrow: "Oh? How would you like to discuss this, Mr. Gu?"

Gu Yang said calmly, referring to the "peaceful termination of the contract."

Jia Shikai smiled: "President Gu, Ziyi is a key artist that Yuekai is cultivating. We've invested a lot of resources in her over the past two years."

“I understand.” Gu Yang nodded. “That’s why I brought my sincerity.”

He gestured to his assistant to hand him a document.

"You Are My Glory is adapted from Gu Man's novel of the same name," Gu Yang said slowly. "Yuekai can take 20% of the investment, and the male lead..." He looked at Yang Yang, "will be played by Teacher Yang."

Yang Yang's eyes lit up; he was also a shareholder of Yuekai.

Gu Yang tapped the table lightly with his fingertip, and his assistant immediately understood, handing Jia Shikai another, more detailed proposal.

"This drama tells the story of aerospace designer Yu Tu and actress Qiao Jingjing." Gu Yang said in a calm tone, "Teacher Yang plays Yu Tu, the youngest chief engineer of the aerospace research institute. He is calm and reserved, and has extremely strong professional skills."

Jia Shikai opened the proposal and was greeted by an excellent project plan.

Director: Wang Zhi

Screenwriter: Gu Man

Art Director: Designed the space scenes for "The Wandering Earth".

Production Team: Tencent Video Tianpeng Studio
Production companies: Currently tentatively Xinghe Media and Tencent Video

Project Highlights:

Aerospace theme + sweet romance: China's first urban romance drama focusing on the profession of aerospace engineers, featuring both a professional and rigorous aerospace storyline and a sweet and romantic love storyline.

Tencent Video S+ level project: The platform promises top-tier promotional resources and homepage recommendation.

Official collaboration with the space agency: The script has received professional guidance from China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, and some scenes will be filmed at real aerospace research institutes.

Yang Yang's eyes lit up as he listened, and he couldn't help but interject, "The role of an aerospace engineer is very challenging, and I'm very interested in it."

Gu Yang smiled slightly: "The role of Yu Tu requires portraying the rigor and deep affection of a science and engineering man, and Teacher Yang's temperament is a perfect match."

At this time, Yang Yang had not yet collaborated with Bai Zhou Jie, and both his fame and image were a good match.

As Jia Shikai flipped through the proposal, his resolve began to waver.

This show is basically a guaranteed money-maker.

"What about the female lead?" he asked.

"Dilraba," Gu Yang said calmly, "we've already been in contact with her, and there's a good chance we can secure her!"

? ? ? ? ?

Jia Shikai was puzzled!

Strive for it?

Isn't Dilraba one of yours? Stop pretending!
Or is Gu Yang provoking him? If he disagrees, will they start a war?
Like Gan Jiaxing, Gan Yuekai?

This is blatant bullying in the entertainment industry!

However, with Dilraba and Yang Yang, this combination is definitely destined to be a blockbuster of the year!
He glanced at Meng Ziyi, who was looking down at Gu Yang's cufflinks, seemingly distracted.

Jia Shikai suddenly felt mentally exhausted.

This old lady has acted in many dramas, but she's just not famous!
Keeping an ungrateful wretch around is a waste of resources.

He even felt the deal was a good one. "Mr. Gu," Jia Shikai closed the file, his smile becoming more sincere, "It's a pleasure doing business with you."

Gu Yang raised his glass: "It's been a pleasure working with you."

As soon as Jia Shikai finished signing the letter of intent, Meng Ziyi eagerly stood up, smiling as she picked up her teacup: "Mr. Jia, would you like to have dinner together? Yuekai could collaborate with Xinghe more often in the future!"

Jia Shikai: "."

Is this appropriate?

The termination agreement hasn't even been signed yet.
So, you guys are from the Galaxy?

Yang Yang was trying so hard not to laugh that his face turned red.

Gu Yang coughed lightly and rubbed his temples: "Sister Meng, stop fooling around."

Meng Ziyi blinked, looking completely innocent: "I wasn't making a fuss. I just think that President Jia is such a nice person, so we should get to know each other better in the future."

Jia Shikai's lips twitched with anger, but he forced a business smile: "Miss Meng, you're too kind. We have other matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave first."

After saying that, he grabbed Yang Yang and quickly left the scene!
Can't stay any longer.

As soon as the door to the private room closed, Meng Ziyi instantly revealed her true colors, leaping into Gu Yang's arms and shouting, "Gu Yang! I'm free!"

Gu Yang was knocked back half a step by her bump, and helplessly put his arm around her waist: "Are you that happy?"

“Of course!” Meng Ziyi tilted her head back, her eyes sparkling. “You have no idea how stifling I felt at Yuekai. President Jia made me take on all sorts of weird roles every day.”

"Besides, I've wanted to be by your side for a long time..."

"Well……"

Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yang lowered his head and kissed her.

The kiss was tender and lingering, with a soothing quality.

Meng Ziyi was taken aback at first, then responded enthusiastically, her fingers unconsciously tightening around his shirt.

After a long while, Gu Yang finally released her, gently wiping her slightly swollen lips with his thumb: "It won't happen again."

Meng Ziyi's cheeks flushed, but she still pretended to be calm: "So what are your plans for me?"

"I'll set up a personal studio for you," Gu Yang pinched her cheek, "You can be your own boss and take on any roles you want."

To everyone's surprise, Meng Ziyi's face fell immediately upon hearing this: "No!"

"Ok?"

"Being a boss is so troublesome. You have to manage finances and negotiate contracts." She pouted and snuggled back into his arms. "I want to sign with Xinghe and become your artist."

Gu Yang raised an eyebrow: "Why be an employee instead of a boss?"

"Who said I wanted to be an employee?" Meng Ziyi smiled slyly and didn't say anything more!
She wants to be the boss's wife!
She was already extremely worried because there were more and more shameless vixens in the company!
Now she can finally teach them a lesson!
She was happily thinking about it when Gu Yang suddenly picked her up by the waist.

"Hey! Put me down!" Meng Ziyi exclaimed, but hugged his neck tightly. "What are you doing?"

"Sister Meng, it's safe here!"

The door isn't locked yet.

Gu Yang chuckled: "Is Sister Meng shy?"

Outside the window, the mountain rain intensified, the rain curtain, accompanied by a fierce wind, lashed against the banana leaves, making the twilight even thicker.

The rain pattered and bruised the banana leaves, just like the scene inside the private room!

……

The following day, artists from Xinghe Media Company gathered.

Tian Xiwei: "What? Meng Ziyi wants to sign with our company?"

When she heard the news, she almost couldn't eat breakfast!

One week of work was already exhausting for her; if Meng Ziyi came, she felt like the sky was falling!

Zhang Jingyi: "Sister Tian, ​​is the information reliable?"

Zhou Ye: "Hahahaha! It's true!"

Zhou Ye invited Meng Ziyi to join the group chat.

Meng Ziyi: "Hello, hello! My darlings, have you missed me? Hehe, your sis is here!"

Zhang Ruonan: "Hello, Sister Meng!"

Zhang Jingyi: "Hello, Sister Meng!"

Zhang Yifan: "Hello, Sister Meng!"

Yang Chaoyue: "Hello, Sister Meng!"

Tian Xiwei: "Hmph!!!"

Zhao Lusi: "Hmph!!!"

Meng Ziyi: "Kiss Ruonan, cuddle Jingyi, hug Yifan, and be good Chaoyue, give each of you a big red envelope!"

"As for those two, what's the meaning behind that?"

"Am I not welcome?"

Meng Ziyi invited Gu Yang to join the group chat and tagged him.

"President Gu, look at them! They're suppressing the newcomers!"

? ? ? ? ?

Tian Xiwei and Zhao Lusi were dumbfounded. How could they be so unethical?
Tian Xiwei: "I didn't!"

Zhao Lusi immediately retracted her earlier "humph" and sent a warm welcome.

Gu Yang had a headache.

Meng Ziyi joining Xinghe Media doesn't seem like a good thing.

She not only wants Gu Yang, but it seems she's not even going to let go of the group of female artists under his management!
It seems we still can't let her have any free time.

This old lady is so troublesome; she loves to play silly tricks.

If all else fails, find a company to collaborate with and let her film "Ninefold Purple" first.

They can air around the same time as Peach Blossom Village; after all, she's already left Yuekai, it's time for her to take off.
