Chapter 2498: Chapter 2285: Can You Give Me Your Autograph?
After all the preparations were basically done, Zhou Yuanzhi personally called Boss Niu.
"Boss Niu?"
"It’s me."
"Boss Niu, it’s Zhou Yuanzhi!"
"Oh oh oh, it’s Director Zhou, how’s the preparation for the film going?"
"Well, I wanted to invite Boss Niu for a screen test today; everything like actors, scripts, and crew is almost ready, just waiting for you, Boss Niu."
"Really, so fast?"
"Yeah, it’s at Shudian Film and Television City; the venues and props are all ready, so very little preparation is needed; once you arrive, we can basically start filming."
"Alright, I’ll head over today."
"That’s great!"
Soon, Boss Niu arrived at Shudian Film and Television City.
Zhou Yuanzhi led the entire crew to welcome him.
"Who’s getting such a grand reception?" Shen Jiayan didn’t know about Boss Niu’s filming.
"Boss Niu, Niu Yun, you know, right?" Zhang Lijiao said mysteriously to Shen Jiayan.
"The CEO of Taotao Net?" Shen Jiayan asked, puzzled.
"Yeah." Zhang Lijiao nodded.
"Come on, let’s greet them; who knows, maybe we’ll get lucky!" Zhang Lijiao grabbed Shen Jiayan’s hand and stepped forward.
But Zhang Lijiao and Shen Jiayan were overtaken by the sharp-eyed Feng Yuzhi.
"Oh, isn’t this Boss Niu!" Feng Yuzhi walked up coquettishly, gazing at Boss Niu with affection; her eyes seemed to water.
"Feng Yuzhi, Miss Feng!" Boss Niu recognized Miss Feng.
"Hello, hello!"
The two of them shook hands warmly.
"I heard from the crew that Boss Niu is the male lead of our movie!" Feng Yuzhi chatted with Boss Niu passionately and ambiguously, with an extraordinarily good attitude, completely different from when she ordered around her staff.
"That’s right; since I funded half of the movie, I get to be the male lead!"
"Hahaha, Boss Niu is really humorous and straightforward!" Feng Yuzhi couldn’t praise Boss Niu enough.
Feng Yuzhi was planning to warm up more to Boss Niu when Zhang Lijiao approached, enthusiastically calling out to him, "Boss Niu!"
Boss Niu was not very surprised to see Zhang Lijiao and said to her, "Oh, Miss Zhang, I wonder what role Director Zhou planned for you?"
Unable to resist, Zhang Lijiao complained to Boss Niu in front of Zhou Yuanzhi, "Boss Niu, can you believe it, Director Zhou asked me to play the villain!"
"Really? Director Zhou, how could this be? Miss Zhang has requested you for such a long time, and in the end, you give her a villain role? That’s really not fair!" Boss Niu half-jokingly said to Zhou Yuanzhi.
"Boss Niu, here’s the thing: the female lead of this movie has already been chosen." Zhou Yuanzhi explained to Niu Yun.
"Oh? Who is it?" Niu Yun asked Zhou Yuanzhi.
"Boss Niu, the female lead of this movie is someone from Mr. Song. Didn’t I mention it to you before? Mr. Song is my benefactor, so he wanted me to give some opportunities to his artists. That’s why I chose the person Mr. Song sent over as the female lead for this movie." Zhou Yuanzhi replied.
"Oh, I see. Since it’s someone sent by Mr. Song, I can’t say much because I also have a good relationship with Mr. Song. Of course, I have to respect Mr. Song, and besides, Miss Zhang, Director Zhou talked earlier about arranging a villain role or the second female lead for you, didn’t you already agree to it?" Upon hearing Zhou Yuanzhi’s words, Niu Yun promptly changed his stance and said to Zhang Lijiao.
"I understand, Boss Niu, I was just joking!" Zhang Lijiao said to Niu Yun and Zhou Yuanzhi.
"Hahahaha, I knew Miss Zhang wouldn’t take this matter seriously!" Niu Yun said to Zhang Lijiao.
"What can I do even if I did care, Mr. Song is my benefactor too! He even cured my migraine, and the person Mr. Song sent over is particularly sensible, young, beautiful, and energetic; I like her a lot too!" Zhang Lijiao turned to glance at Shen Jiayan beside her and said to Boss Niu.
"Oh yes, my goodness, Boss Niu, this is the person sent by Mr. Song, Miss Shen Jiayan, and she is the female lead in our movie!" Zhou Yuanzhi introduced Shen Jiayan to Niu Yun.
"Miss Shen, hello hello, indeed like Miss Zhang said, young, beautiful, and sensible!" Niu Yun was very pleased with Shen Jiayan.
"You’re too kind, Boss Niu!" Shen Jiayan modestly and politely replied to Niu Yun.
"Miss Shen, you’ll be acting opposite Boss Niu from now on; your acting experience is also somewhat richer than Boss Niu’s, and I think your acting skills are really good; during filming breaks, you should guide Boss Niu more!" Zhou Yuanzhi said to Shen Jiayan and Niu Yun.
Chapter 2289: Humbly Learning
"Director Zhou, how could I dare instruct Boss Niu!" Shen Jiayan quickly waved her hand to decline.
"Miss Shen, don’t feel pressured; although Boss Niu is quite adept at making money, acting in films is still foreign territory for him, so guide him well; Boss Niu, you must learn humbly!" Zhou Yuanzhi said to Niu Yun.
"Rest assured, Director Zhou, I’ll definitely learn well!" Niu Yun immediately pledged.
"But Boss Niu should also not be too nervous or pressured; after all, we’re shooting an entertainment movie, with plenty of humorous and entertaining elements in it. Being too tense might affect the outcome; Boss Niu, just relax, imagine you’re on vacation, here to have fun." Zhou Yuanzhi further advised Niu Yun.
