Rebooting the top stars, starting with Extreme Challenge

Chapter 64: A Promise Made for "Silent Separation"

Upon hearing this name, Jiang Chengyu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Is it really that much of a coincidence?

"I have indeed met a Song Tie, but I don't know if you're talking about the same person."

Upon hearing this, Gan Wei was somewhat surprised and spoke while taking out her phone.

"Do you know that girl?"

Jiang Chengyu shook his head: "I met someone named Song Tie. His name was quite unique, so I remembered it."

"I don't know if this is what you're talking about."

Gan Wei tapped her phone a few times, then put it away.

"I've sent you the actor information."

"Is this the person you're looking for?"

I took out my phone and opened the information that Gan Wei had sent me.

Song Tie's photo popped up instantly.

Jiang Chengyu recognized him at a glance; it was Song Tie from his previous life.

"It's this person."

"I saw her once when I went to the Central Academy of Drama before, but we didn't talk and I didn't know her."

After saying that, Jiang Chengyu seemed to remember something and said, "Oh right, we didn't finish talking about what happened earlier."

"You need to get me a room."

"Or I could come and work for you, but there's not even a room available."

"If the paparazzi dig this up, things will get interesting."

This was a very small matter for Gan Wei.

"No problem, I'll have someone book a room for you right away."

As she spoke, Gan Wei's eyes darted around, and she asked the question that she was truly concerned about.

"Jiang Chengyu, it's been several days. What have you thought about what I told you before?"

Jiang Chengyu instinctively replied, "What is it?"

"You forgot?"

"It's not that I forgot, it's just that your question was vague, so I'm just reminding you."

"That's the drama I asked you to play the male lead in, 'My Sunshine'."

Jiang Chengyu suddenly remembered: "Is that what it is?"

"I've been seriously considering it these past few days."

"Let's make this clear first, since I haven't acted in several years."

"It might not meet your expectations."

"If you're not afraid to take the risk, I can."

Gan Wei subconsciously ignored Jiang Chengyu's foreshadowing and said with obvious delight.

"It's good that you agree."

"If you need to think twice before being asked to film an idol drama, then there's something wrong with you."

At this point, Gan Wei paused, preparing to strike while the iron was hot and finalize the matter.

"Ever since you and Zhang Tianai trended on social media a couple of days ago, the production crew has been under scrutiny."

"There are paparazzi staking out the area everywhere now."

"Since you've agreed, I'll announce it tomorrow?"

Jiang Chengyu was somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "So soon?"

"We have to be in a hurry."

Gan Wei explained, "Now the paparazzi are staking out the film crew 24/7, which is really affecting the production."

"It's not shameful for you to come to my place."

"Telling them about this will not only deal with the paparazzi, but also boost the ratings for 'Go Princess Go,' which is great."

"Then I immediately started the project for 'Silent Separation'."

"The cast announcement is expected in the next day or two."

"Since I have this opportunity, I'll say it all at once."

"Things are different now than before; popularity of TV dramas and movies is king."

"A popular drama isn't necessarily good, but a drama that isn't popular is definitely bad."

"I went to all this trouble to invite you here, so I'm definitely going to generate buzz as soon as possible and for as long as possible."

Jiang Chengyu had nothing to say about this.

From Gan Wei's perspective, this is indeed a good thing.

Count carefully, it's a win-win-win situation.

She won three times in a row, and she got numb from winning.

However, all that Gan Wei said was for her benefit; what about her own?

Putting aside the popularity generated by the announcement, Jiang Chengyu needed to get some tangible benefits.

Otherwise, do you really think he's just contributing out of friendship?

Making a cameo appearance in "Go Princess Go" for free is good enough.

Starring in "My Sunshine" and not asking for money would be pure idiocy.

Moreover, she didn't bring it up herself, and she didn't bring it up either, which was a bit lacking.

After quickly going through the situation in his mind, Jiang Chengyu spoke up.

"Well, I don't have an agent right now. So, will you be negotiating the contract with me, or how will we discuss it?"

Gan Wei was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then came to her senses and said, "I am the producer of 'My Sunshine,' and I will be in contact with you."

As she spoke, Gan Wei paused for two seconds to think.

"Actually, there's not much to connect with."

"Given our long-standing relationship, would I ever cheat you?"

"Besides filming, all you'll probably need to do then is help with promotions."

"Oh right, we haven't discussed our salaries yet."

"I've already mentioned this beforehand."

"I know you're not short of money, and I also know you only took this role because of me."

"But money matters shouldn't be mixed with emotions."

"Otherwise, our friendship might turn sour."

At this point, Gan Wei's tone rose slightly.

Combined with her words, it seemed to imply a sense of being wealthy and powerful.

"I'll settle your fee according to the current market rate for top male stars, how about one million per episode?"

Jiang Chengyu didn't answer directly, but remained silent for two seconds before speaking.

"You've shut down everything I wanted to say, what else can I say?"

"I have no problem with a million per episode, I'll take advantage of you for that."

Jiang Chengyu wasn't lying; he really did benefit from this situation.

Jiang Chengyu is definitely not worth a million yuan per episode in the film and television industry now.

Despite his consistent popularity, which even surpasses that of some A-list celebrities, he remains incredibly popular.

But all that buzz came from gossip and scandals.

In terms of actual help to film and television dramas, it's all rather superficial.

After finishing their business, the two started chatting casually.

After chatting for a short while, an artist coordinator jogged over with a room key and handed it to Gan Wei.

Gan Wei handed it to Jiang Chengyu.

"Hey, the room's booked."

"The hotel is the one our film crew stays at; you went there a couple of days ago."

"The room is booked next to Tianai's."

Jiang Chengyu smiled without saying a word and silently put the room key away.

They chatted for a while longer.

After the actors took a break, Jiang Chengyu gave Zhang Tianai a few instructions and then took the script and returned to the hotel.

Around nine o'clock in the evening, Zhang Tianai knocked on Jiang Chengyu's door.

She came to Jiang Chengyu to ask him to teach her to sing.

A great river, with wide, surging waves.

The wind carries the fragrance of flowers...

The music lesson was very long, and the two didn't fall asleep in each other's arms until close to midnight.

The next day, when Jiang Chengyu woke up naturally, Zhang Tianai had already disappeared.

As expected, she went to the film set to shoot a movie.

Jiang Chengyu lay on the bed and stretched comfortably.

Although he hasn't fully recovered to his peak condition yet.

But now he is the object of admiration for countless men and women.

This feeling is just too...

After relaxing in bed for a while, Jiang Chengyu got up to wash and get ready.

As Jiang Chengyu walked out of the bathroom and through the living room, he frowned slightly as he looked at the scripts scattered on the floor and under the table legs.

Last night's music lesson was so effective.

He was so impressed that he completely forgot what he had been memorizing all afternoon yesterday.

After pondering for a moment and realizing he couldn't remember anything, Jiang Chengyu decisively called Gan Wei.

Tell her to ask the film crew to postpone filming her scenes.

We won't be filming this afternoon; we'll film tomorrow.

Gan Wei readily agreed to such a small matter.

Then, Jiang Chengyu picked up the script and began to seriously memorize his lines.

At noon, Jiang Chengyu, who was memorizing his lines, suddenly heard the system's mechanical voice explode in his mind.
