Chapter 044: Intercession

"Well, it will rot if you eat it, eat it!" Mu Chu took a sip of coffee with an indifferent expression, as if this was really poison.

Ling Cheng took it, raised his head and ate it, but didn't drink water.

Mu Chu frowned, unscrewed the mineral water and sent it over.

"Drink water."

"Poisonous?" Ling Cheng asked.

"Yes, poison you."

"Oh, then I have to drink."

Zhang Zhe took the lead, and a group of little assistants looked at the two of them like monsters.

This...... What's the situation?

Ling Cheng hadn't felt much thirsty before he drank the water, and he couldn't drink enough of this water, and he drank all the bottles.

Mu Chu glanced at the time and sat down beside him.

"What did you eat in the morning?" Mu Chu asked.

Ling Cheng lowered his head and thought for a moment, "Forgot." ”

"You haven't eaten it, have you?"

"Like...... Be. ”

"Don't you eat, and don't the actors eat either?"

Ling Cheng nodded, knowing that he was too involved in filming and forgot the time, so he asked someone to immediately prepare to shoot this scene and call it a day directly, today's task was overcompleted, and he had half a day off in the afternoon.

"Okay, thank you Producer Ling, thank you Producer Ling......" everyone cheered, and then they disbanded.

Ling Cheng ate the breakfast or lunch box sent by Zhang Zhe at unknown times, and never looked up, obviously hungry.

Muchu was still drinking coffee.

Ling Cheng finished eating, and Mu Chu was still drinking coffee.

Mu Chu put down the dishes and chopsticks, drank water and rinsed his mouth, snatched the coffee from Mu Chu's hand and said, "Is this thing so delicious, don't you have an appetite?" ”

Mu Chu also knew that his stomach hurt after drinking too much coffee, but he was really not energetic, and his whole body hurt uncomfortably. Don't drink too much, I'm afraid I won't have the energy to revise the manuscript in the afternoon.

"Time has been tight lately, and I have to hand in the manuscript at the end of this month."

"Who's from it?" Ling Cheng asked casually.

"Director Liu Jia asked for the main draft, and I promised it for half a year, so it's time to hand it over." Mu Chu stretched out her arms and legs, her right hand still hurts badly, what should she do if she has a headache, and the progress of playing keyboard finger meditation will definitely be slow.

"I'll go out in the afternoon, and you come with me." Ling Cheng stood up and stretched out his arms and legs to stretch his muscles and bones.

"What to do, and socialize? I'm not going. ”

Mu Chu is unhappy, why do men like to treat women as objects, and they also bring a woman forward for entertainment, isn't this looking down on women.

At the leaders' dinner a few years ago, she was forced to participate as an intern screenwriter. It was too naΓ―ve at the beginning, and I couldn't see many things thoroughly. But now she is a gold medal screenwriter, and she has been in the circle for several years, and she has never seen anything smoky, so she will not be sold as an object by men, and she doesn't need to do these fearless entertainment.

"It's not socializing, meeting a person. Do you want to postpone the manuscript? Are you hand-inconvenient and can type? ”

Mu Chu was stunned for a moment and nodded.

Right now, it's really not good for Ling Cheng to be a relational household.

It's a matter of urgency to hand in the manuscript, but what about your own hands, it's definitely not going to get better these days, and there's no way to take care of Yuyu when you go back, right?

"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner another day."

"Bring the fish." Ling Cheng said unceremoniously.

Nine o'clock in the evening.

The dinner that Ling Cheng had arranged began.

Jiang Yang also came.

Cheng Zhizhen is also there.

Mu Chu looked at the people at this table, and he was afraid that he couldn't swallow this mouthful of rice.

But Director Liu Jia is here, and some of his colleagues are also present, I believe that Cheng Zhizhen will not pull down his face and do anything.

Liu Jia is a smiling tiger, putting on a big smile every day, but in fact, he is a very serious person, meticulous in his words and deeds, and has dominated the position of the owner in the director's circle for several years, and his status can be said to be very high.

Liu Jia took a fancy to a short story of Mu Chu and thought that the idea was good, so she specially invited her to write a new book, and the two had signed an agreement that they would adapt it into a TV series after the release of the new book.

But there is no time limit, but Liu Jia has no new dramas in his hands recently, so he is bent on urging Mu Chu to hurry up.

Mu Chu is very hardworking and doesn't often owe manuscripts, but because of Ling Cheng's new drama, the delivery time was delayed.

This time, Liu Jia was here to do the rehearsal of the documentary, and he was specially invited to come over to be a temporary director, knowing that Ling Cheng was filming here, and agreed to meet the two to have dinner together, but what he didn't expect was that Mu Chu was also there.

Liu Jia didn't change much on the surface, but he wasn't very happy in his heart.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Mu Bian to be there, it looks very leisurely."

Mu Chu smiled apologetically and said, "I'm really sorry, I've been a little busy lately, and this hand is ......."

Ling Cheng turned the table and transferred the red wine he had just poured to Liu Jia.

"Director Liu has also been idle recently, how long do you plan to live here?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Hehe, I'm going to go back tomorrow, I remember a screenwriter promised to deliver the manuscript at the end of the month, and once I got the manuscript, I was going to start busy, so I had to hurry. Now you young latecomers are on top, so that we old guys have no place to survive, and if we don't produce some good works as soon as possible, I'm afraid we won't be able to gain a foothold in this circle. ”

Liu Jia secretly satirized Ling Cheng, knowing that he had many works and most of them won awards, but in Liu Jia's opinion, this young man was still a junior with no achievements, so he naturally would not take Ling Cheng in his eyes.

Ling Cheng was a cold-faced person outside, hearing Gao's words, even if the other party was an elder, how could he let the other party ridicule and not fight back?

"Director Liu, traffic stars have been prevalent in recent years, and good actors have no choice but to use them, and they do not hesitate to maliciously hype in order to get a higher salary. The traffic is there, the money is there, but the works are uneven, the acting skills are not there, the skills are insufficient, and the lines are intermittent, but it is hard to be some staff in the later stage. I heard that Director Liu has trained a large number of people to do things for you in the later stage, and it takes a lot of money, right? Huge expenses are spent on casting, and you can't worry about good works? ”

Liu Jia's smile at the corner of his mouth seemed to be strangled by a rope, and he was about to break out of his fat face.

"Hehe, it's not easy to do anything these days, being a director is also controlled by others, no money, no advertising, no investment, it's difficult to pull and make a good work, it's difficult! We might as well be produced by Ling, behind it is the entire Ling family as the backing, advertising can not be accepted, or even publicity is not needed, all the worries and Mr. Jiang is planning, this world, it seems to be yours, haha......"

The implication is that Ling Cheng and Jiang Yang cover the sky with one hand, and they have already taken over all the business in the entertainment industry, and they can't win awards if they don't want to.

Ling Cheng did not deny Liu Jia's statement, he was indeed a little more convenient than others because of his identity, and those oppressive advertisers and famous traffic stars could not stop him from creating good works.

But these are only external factors.

Ling Chenghe sneered in a low voice, "I remember that ten years ago, my teacher Zhou Wen, made a realistic film at his own expense, and won the award ten years later. Ten years later, because this film that only invested a few hundred yuan won the grand prize and received hundreds of millions of reports. It turns out that good things don't need those empty packaging, come up with good things, look at the character. ”

Liu Jia, you are famous, but you have no character.

Liu Jia was pouted and couldn't sit still.

It's a good old man who has been in the water tank of the entertainment industry for many years, but this measure is not.

Ling Cheng finished sarcastically and immediately gave him a step down.

"Of course, now it's not as good as before, there are more talents, great ability, and more powerful people, it's really not easy to do something, Director Liu is also doing what he wants to do, there's nothing wrong with making money, what's wrong. I'm making money too, hehe, come and drink! ”

Ling Chengxian held the wine glass and looked at the wine glass in front of Liu Jia.

Liu Jia's eyes were dark, flashing with black light, and he stared at Ling Cheng for a long time.

After a while, he laughed dryly, "Hahahahaha...... Yes, yes, I'm old, this world will still be you young people in the future, and the sky is very high and the birds can fly, hahaha...... Come, drink, drink. If you don't get drunk, you won't return, if you don't get drunk, you won't return! ”

After three rounds of drinking, Liu Jia's eyes are a little unclear, but this tongue is very sharp, but he didn't open the door, and his speech began to be out of tune.

Ling Cheng frowned when he heard this, but if he was drunk, it would be easy to make trouble if he went directly against the wind, and it would not be good for anyone.

They are all peers, usually competing with each other, secretly intriguing, and they still need to do something decent on the surface.

Moreover, he came to intercede with Mu Chu today, not to find someone who was unhappy.

Liu Jia knew that Ling Cheng had a request for him, and deliberately did not give Ling Cheng face.

Ling Cheng didn't want to lose face and wanted to make this favor happen, so he could only endure it for a while, and endure it again.

But forbearance is not limitless.

Liu Jia spoke obscenely, and his eyes kept drifting on Mu Chu.

Ling Cheng's brow marks became heavier.

The atmosphere was tense, and a smoke of war seemed to be slowly floating in the small room.

"Hehe, Ling Cheng, converge." Jiang Yang echoed and laughed, listening to Liu Jia's obscene jokes, it was really uncomfortable, but he knew what he was here for today, and he also cooperated with Liu Jia in advertising, so he couldn't offend either end.

Jiang Yang was an old man who made peace, got up and poured red wine for Liu Jia.

Liu Jia didn't drink it, pointed at Mu Chu, and said to Mu Chu inarticulately, "Have a drink with me?" I heard that Mu Bian doesn't go out and doesn't accompany him, hehe, it seems that our face is not enough, it's rare to see the famous Mu Bian in the field, have a drink, huh? Don't give face? ”

Mu Chu had already seen the smoke and flames of war at the dinner table, and since she was pulled in, she couldn't retreat, especially this show that Ling Cheng did to help her, even if she lost face, she had to continue to act.

Mu Chu smiled, nodded with a good attitude and said, "Okay, but I'm not strong enough to drink, and I'm injured, so ...... Feel free to do so, I'll just do this one, okay? Brother Liu? ”

Liu Jia is also in his fifties, and it is not an exaggeration for Mu Chu to call him uncle, deliberately calling him a big brother, he deliberately lowered his posture and wanted Liu Jia to let himself go.

Men like to be worn by women with high hats, and when this hat is worn, Liu Jia is suddenly happy, and he must have let Mu Chu go.

Who would have thought that Liu Jia disagreed.

As soon as Liu Jia stretched out his hand, the smear flew out and landed on the plate of Cheng Zhizhen, who was sitting next to him, "No, no!" ”

Cheng Zhizhen frowned angrily, staring at the uneaten shrimp on the plate, and it was Liu Jia's spitting star that was shining on it, she was angry, she raised her hand, snapped, and the voice was very loud, and slapped off Liu Jia's arm in front of her.

"It's an eyesore!"

Liu Jia was startled when she was beaten, shrunk her hand back like a turtle shell, and looked at Cheng Zhizhen in shock.

Cheng Zhizhen's indifferent eyelids rolled down, the chopsticks were gently picked, the plate snapped, turned over, and buckled on the table.

"Have a meal, like a vegetable market, those who know think they are socializing, and those who don't know think they have entered some shady place. It just so happened that I brought a reporter friend next door, Director Liu, do you want to make headlines? ”
