A Top-Tier Life Begins with Sarcastic Phrases

Chapter 95 Words of Mouth, Dinner Invitation

"Hiccup~"

Gu Yun heard Wang Hailong let out a long burp, guessing that he had just finished drinking and come out.

"Xiao Gu, hiccup~ I've found out about this matter."

Wang Hailong took a sip of the mineral water his assistant handed him and pinched the bridge of his nose: "Brother Deng really does want to replace him."

Gu breathed a slight sigh of relief. In fact, as long as there was any intention to change the player, he would have a chance.

If Deng Ke's attitude is firm, then no matter what connections Gu Yun uses, it won't matter; the role is definitely going to Wang Hedi.

"But this is something that Brother Deng can't decide on his own."

Wang Hailong sighed: "Whether or not to change the actor depends on Producer Liu's decision; Brother Deng can't make the decision alone."

Although Deng Ke is only thirty-eight years old, she has many outstanding works to her name!

The hit period comedy "My Heroic Husband," plus "With the Phoenix," which brought Lin Gengxin and Zhao Liying into the spotlight this year...

These were all his creations.

When it comes to casting, Deng Ke should have at least the right to make recommendations.

Of course, if Deng Ke is not an option, he can put in a good word for him with Liu Wenyang.

Deng Ke and Liu Wenyang are a long-standing golden duo at Xinli, and the two have a very good relationship.

"I understand, Brother Wang."

Gu Yun took a deep breath: "About that dinner invitation—"

"It's done."

Wang Hailong let out another long hiccup and laughed, "Hey, I've arranged a date for you. Whether it works out or not depends on your skills."

"Thank you, brother!"

Gu Yun quickly thanked him.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Hailong sent a voice message, clearly stating the location and time for the meal.

The day after tomorrow at 6 PM, at the Beijing Grand Hotel.

"Two days?"

Huang Ming rubbed his forehead, and a few more strands of his already thinning hair fell out: "It's okay, there's still time. I'll keep stirring things up."

Actually, in the current online debate about casting, Zhang Xincheng is the most popular choice.

Gu Yun had long been relegated to the bottom of the trending topics list.

This matter is somewhat settled.

But now that Gu Yun has finally found a way, Huang Ming certainly can't let this matter end like this.

"Old Gu!"

Huang Ming's eyes narrowed as he looked at Gu Yun. He felt that calling Gu "Old Gu" was quite easy to say: "I have an idea, but it might be a bit demanding."

Gu Yun: "What are your thoughts?"

"They can buy online trolls, and so can we. I just called my boss, and he approved some money for me; it should be enough."

"I'll add fuel to the fire and send you right to the top of the trending topics!"

Huang Ming said in a deep voice: "In terms of role suitability alone, you are miles ahead of Zhang Xincheng. Let the public opinion ferment for a while longer."

"But the price you'll pay is that you might not only be criticized by Wang Hedi's fans, but Zhang Xincheng's fans won't let you off the hook either."

O

Gu Yun: "So—when you say 'wasteful,' you mean I'm wasteful, right?"

That's what I mean.

Huang Ming rubbed his old face: "But if we don't do it this way, when you have dinner with Director Deng and the others the day after tomorrow, this role will be completely decided!"

"This is none of our business!"

"Let's do it!"

Having already been bombarded by fans of two top-tier celebrities, Xiao Zhan and Wang Hedi, why would Gu Yun be afraid of being scolded by a second-tier fan like Zhang Xincheng?

The next day, Gu Yun flew to Yanjing.

Meng Ziyi received a call from a guy and isn't at home in Yanjing right now.

However, Zhang Ruoyun and Guo Qilin have both finished filming and have nothing to do right now, so they are both staying in Yanjing.

Knowing about Gu Yun, one brought a pitcher of beer and the other brought some snacks. The three of them drank and chatted in Gu Yun's room.

"I know that role. I originally wanted to audition for it, but then Joy of Life started filming, so I didn't go."

Zhang Ruoyun was a little tipsy, but still sober: "That's how the entertainment industry is. If you're not famous, even a dog can bite you."

"Hey, who says otherwise?"

Guo Qilin smoothed his hair and said, "You finally get a supporting role, and you're about to become famous. If someone throws a tantrum at you, no one would feel comfortable."

"So, little brother, what are you planning to do about this now?"

Gu Yun picked up a piece of cucumber and stuffed it into his mouth: "I've decided to try and snatch this role!"

"How so?" Zhang Ruoyun asked.

"I got to know director Wang Hailong when I was filming 'Let's Go Traveling'. Through his connections, I'll meet with director Deng Ke tomorrow night."

Gu Yun spoke frankly, without hiding anything from the two of them: "Let's see if there's an opportunity."

"Director Deng?"

Zhang Ruoyun and Guo Qilin exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes: "That's right, Director Deng directed 'Da Feng'!"

"We know each other!"

When the filming of "My Heroic Husband" started, Deng Ke first approached Zhang Ruoyun, but Zhang Ruoyun felt it was not suitable and pushed Guo Qilin to Deng Ke instead.

Guo Qilin also caught Deng Ke's eye in this way.

"yes!"

Guo Qilin clapped his hands: "It was Ruoyun who recommended me back then. Xiao Gu, we can put in a good word for you on this matter."

Both of them had gotten caught in the rain and wanted to hold an umbrella for a friend they knew.

"Will this work?"

Gu Yun was a little embarrassed: "Don't let my situation ruin your good impression on Director Deng Ke."

"Hey, look at you, you're being too polite again, aren't you?"

Guo Qilin laughed and said, "It's nothing serious, just something to mention."

"Yes, and I saw your look; it's perfect for the role of [Da Feng]!"

Zhang Ruoyun said, "Actually, I was thinking of taking you with me tomorrow, so I can put in a good word for you or something."

"But if you've already contacted Director Wang, it wouldn't be appropriate for me to go along."

"Thank you both so much, you've helped me so much, really, you've helped me so much!"

Gu Yun didn't waste any more words, opening a new can of beer: "Enough with the chit-chat, I'll give you a spin on both of you~"

'

"Alright, alright, drink less. Take a good rest, you'll be drinking to your heart's content tomorrow."

"Yeah, why are you being so polite with us brothers?"

The group chatted until midnight, and eventually slept at Gu Yun's place.

The next day, after packing their things, the two of them actually recommended Gu to Deng Ke.

This can be considered as giving Gu Yun a sense of reassurance.

When Gu Yun saw them off, the two of them didn't forget to help Gu Yun carry two bags of trash downstairs.

"Don't be nervous, just treat it like normal socializing."

Before getting on the bus, Guo Qilin said something.

When Zhang Ruoyun recommended him to Deng Ke, he was quite nervous at first.

The meal afterwards was just a rehearsal; there were no other messy or unpleasant things.

"Understood. You two be careful on the road."

Gu Yun thanked him.

But they are actually different.

Guo Qilin was able to get the role in "My Heroic Husband" because the show was a top-tier web series with an investment of less than 100 million yuan.

There were other people vying for the role, but none were as extreme as Gu Yun. Moreover, he had Yu Qian and Deyun Society backing him up, which is why he managed to secure the male lead role.

But for Gu Yun, it's hellish!
