Chapter 42: Blind Date
Huang Jialin's new drama started filming after the New Year, so Xu Heyu gave her a holiday during the year before the year, so that she could go home for the New Year. It's just that what she didn't expect was that the phone exchanges with Zhou Jingyu became more and more frequent, although most of them were talking about things in the script, she felt that she and Zhou Jingyu really began to become friends.
"This is the script for the company's new TV series, don't blame me for not giving you a chance. What about this drama, it's almost a little bit of investment, you go to Mr. Wang of Huayu Film and Television, and strive to let Huayu invest, if it is successful, the male and female protagonists will be the two artists in your hands. Duan Lei handed over the thick script to her, and he also had this plan after hearing that Huang Jialin was very happy to get the role.
"Huayu? I heard that Huayu's investment in foreign dramas is very strict, I'm afraid this thing is not easy to do. How much do you say is almost invested? Xu Heyu didn't read the script, no matter how you look at it, it's weird, Huayu's difficulty is well-known in the industry, not to mention letting himself contact the big-bellied and squinting Mr. Wang, Duan Lei won't be so brainless.
"To be exact, this drama is still half the investment." Duan Lei sighed, seeing that the filming of this drama was about to start, but the funds were not yet in place, and he was so busy that he was anxious.
"It's not a joke that you're going to turn on half the money, right?" Xu Hewei looked at him in disbelief, the company had been running for so many years, and she had never heard of such a thing.
"This script is adapted from a novel, and the copyright of the novel bought by the company is about to expire, if it is not started, then we have to hand it over, and the funds and efforts invested in the early stage will be in vain." Duan Lei explained.
"In your opinion, is the script adapted from this novel excellent? If the script is not good enough to be that kind of Cheng dΓΉ, if you invest money again, you will only lose money. Xu Hewei did not agree with the company's sloppy shooting.
"The original book is very popular, and the script looks very close to the original, but whether it can be a big hit depends on the timing of the broadcast and the cast. You bring Huang Jialin, and you go to see Mr. Wang together and have a good talk. Duan Lei suddenly remembered something, and asked her to bring Huang Jialin again.
"I'm sorry, I really can't complete this task, why don't you find Haimei, I think Linda is more suitable, she made a mistake some time ago and was punished, and now she has such a good opportunity to turn over, she will definitely do everything she can to get this thing done!" Although Xu Heyu said sorry to Linda in her heart, she couldn't take Huang Jialin to danger, this woman had just wanted to exert her strength after so many years, and she couldn't destroy her at this time.
"If you are told to go, you will go, what is long-winded. In the past, I protected you too well, and now you want to protect your artists tightly, and you don't listen to me? Duan Lei suddenly raised his voice, startling her.
"But......" Xu Heyu still wanted to argue.
"Don't do anything, I'll give you a week, if you can't get Mr. Wang, don't want your bonus this year." Duan Lei suddenly dropped a cup, and this temper made her scratch her head.
Suddenly, Duan Lei leaned over and whispered in her ear: "There is someone outside the door just now, you look at this matter, make a show to deal with it, as for Mr. Wang's side, I will go to make an appointment in person, you hurry up and refuse now, be more intense." β
Xu Heyu understood and immediately stood up: "I'm sorry, Mr. Duan!" I really can't do it, Huang Jialin just signed in with me, I can't take this risk with her. And this script is not worth investing any more money, even if I go to Mr. Wang, he wouldn't dare to invest such a large amount of money in a bad drama, otherwise he wouldn't have stayed in Huayu for so long. β
"Get out, get out, get out, don't be a military advisor to me." Xu Heyu ran out of his office in the midst of Duan Lei's roar, and the others looked at her with different expressions, but at least she understood a qiΔ on Haimei's face, probably because she asked the chairman to ask her to attract investment.
Because of this incident, Xu Hewei was punished by Duan Lei to supervise the later stage of the film, and did not accompany Huang Jialin to the crew, but called her original assistants Xiaomi and Ah Ming to accompany her for a period of time. As expected, even if Duan Lei personally went out, Mr. Wang still refused to invest in this drama, and she was grateful to Duan Lei for helping her back again. Later, Xu Heyu learned that the reason why Duan Lei was so abnormal was because Zhou Jingbing said in front of Chen Meiru that he was too protective of Xu Heyu, so he did this scene.
Since Xu Hewei was exposed to the oolong scandal with Su Yan, the young talent that Ji's mother originally planned to introduce also delayed the meeting time due to a business trip, but after all, she still had to meet, Ji's mother personally took her to buy a new dress and a new hairstyle, and then she was satisfied and drove her to the agreed hotel.
Xu Hewei is dressed smartly, she stayed up all night last night, and her spirit is not very good, so she wears more makeup, but she looks more capable. As soon as she pushed open the door of the box, she found that there were already people waiting inside, she subconsciously looked at her watch, there were still 5 minutes left to the appointed time, it seems that this man likes to arrive early.
"Sorry, I thought I was late!" Xu Heyu said to the man with his back to him.
"It's okay, I've just arrived!" The man turned around, which surprised Xu Heyu, it was actually Zhou Jingyu, but it seemed that when Ji's mother introduced him, she said that this man's name was Zhou Jingtian.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I'm Xu Hewei, I'm happy to meet again!" Xu Heyu struggled to show a smile that was still a smile.
"Hello, Miss Xu, it seems that Miss Xu has a good memory." Zhou Jingtian was still very cold, and her outstretched hand was also resting in mid-air, and she didn't shake hands with her.
"Mr. Zhou's memory is not bad, but I didn't expect you to change your name when we meet again."
"Sorry, it's more convenient to have multiple names. It seems that the relationship between Miss Xu and the Ji family is not simple! β
"Where, it's just that Aunt Ji is too enthusiastic for me to refuse. I would like to ask Mr. Zhou a question, do you know Zhou Jingbing? β
"She is the child of the third uncle's family and my cousin. Miss Xu's brain was spinning very fast. β
"I see, understood! Mr. Zhou, please rest assured that there will be no follow-up after this meeting. However, since Mr. Zhou knows that the other party is me, why is he willing to take the time to see me? β
"You've got a lot of questions! First, like you, you are annoyed by the repeated nagging of your family; Second, I know that you are now Huang Jialin's agent, take good care of her. β
"Ok, totally understood! It's just that I, as Jia Lin's agent, hope that you will consider carefully before taking any action, she is just an ordinary girl, and I hope her happiness is ordinary and ordinary for a long time. β
"I understand what Miss Xu means."
After saying goodbye to Zhou Jingtian, Xu Heyu immediately picked up the phone and called Ah Ming, asking him to come back immediately to investigate Zhou Jingtian, Zhou Jingbing's cousin, the third generation of red who is rooted in Miao Hong, has a close relationship with Huayu Film and Television, maybe she can boldly guess that Zhou Jingtian is the boss behind Huayu Film and Television, last time Producer Liu also said that the boss of Huayu Film and Television is a red third generation.
As soon as she got home, Ji's mother and Ji Qianyi were already waiting in the living room, and Ji's mother rarely came here, because her son gave this house to Xu Heyu to live in after all, and she didn't want to disturb her often.
"How's the lotus? How did you talk to the young master of the Zhou family? As soon as Mother Ji saw her, she immediately greeted her and asked. The reason why she helped the Zhou family find a daughter-in-law was also because she was a very good friend with Zhou Jingtian's mother, and when she saw that she was anxious about her youngest son's marriage, she took the initiative to mention Xu Heyu to her, and she always gave it a try.
"Auntie, he doesn't mean much to me, and I don't feel anything." Xu Hewei told the truth, since she knew Zhou Jingtian's intentions, she would no longer have anything to do with him.
"How can I not feel it, I know this young man Jing Tian very well, he is handsome and highly educated, although he is cold, but he values love and righteousness, and he is a good boy."
"Auntie, he is indeed very good, but this kind of thing is not something that can be felt by the other party's excellence."
"That'...... Maybe you don't feel anything on the first side, but maybe you feel it when you contact it again, and feelings can also be cultivated, do you say yes? β
"Aunt......
"Mom, don't force her. There are so many women in the world, Brother Jing Tian will definitely be able to find one that he is satisfied with, so why do you have to hang on her tree. Ji Qianyi couldn't see it, so he opened his mouth to help Xu Heyu.
"You know what!" Mother Ji glared at her son, and then persuaded Xu Heyu: "Heyu, aunt will tell you a heartfelt word, I think you are not the kind of little woman who will die and live for love, what you need is a family and a stable kinship." Although the Zhou family has a big business, but Jing Tian's branch is relatively simple, his parents are also very easy to get along with, with your intelligence and ability, it is easy to gain a firm foothold in that family, you are a girl no matter how successful her career is, there is no home and no relatives around, it is very bitter! β
Xu Hewei blinked her slightly moist eyes, and Mother Ji's words definitely touched her heart: "Auntie, you are the first person to think about me so much, I am really grateful, thank you for thinking so much for me." However, Zhou Jingtian is not suitable, if you meet a suitable one in the future, will you introduce it to me? β
"It's really not going to work!" Mother Ji's face was full of disappointment, but when she saw Xu Heyu's reddened eyes, her voice softened again, "Okay, okay, this won't work, then I'll introduce you to other suitable ones." You can rest assured, the people chosen by my aunt can definitely be trusted. β
"Then thank you aunt first, aunt is rare to come, I'll go down and buy some ingredients to cook some dishes, how about having dinner together?" Xu Hewei held Ji's mother's arm, and finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
"Okay, I often hear Qianyi mention your cooking skills, but I haven't had time to taste it in the past few years, it seems that I have a good taste today." Mother Ji nodded happily, she had long wanted to try Xu Hewei's skills, "I'll accompany you to buy vegetables, will you go?" β
"Okay, let's go together." Ji Qianyi went to the room and was armed.
