Chapter 377 Shen Zhi plays his wife for the first time
Bai Qiujing hasn't taken the initiative to mention making a movie for a long time.
When Bai Qiujing wants to make a movie, the product must be a high-quality one. He wants his work to not only make him happy, but also be a carnival for all his fans and audiences.
While Zhang Chao was on the way, he was still wondering which team Bai Qiujing had his eyes on. Could it be the fantasy drama directed by Liu that he had recommended to him last time?
But I never expected that...
Zhang Chao was stunned when he looked at the printed script in his hand.
"Horror movie?"
Bai Qiujing nodded.
Zhang Chao reacted angrily: "Oh my goodness, why would you take on a horror film when there are so many other options? Are you crazy, or am I dreaming? Do you understand the domestic film market? There's no audience for horror films. Two years ago, a 3D horror film with a 200 million yuan budget didn't even make a splash. Not only was it a complete flop, it was also ridiculed by the audience. Don't you care about reputation the most? Why would you take on a movie like this?"
Bai Qiujing has a bad temper. People who know him know that he is difficult to get along with. He will only hide all his sharpness in front of Shen Zhichu.
If she had heard Zhang Chao say so much under normal circumstances, she would have turned around and left, but today she was unusually patient and had a silly smile on her face.
“This script is very good.”
Zhang Chao glanced at the script; it was indeed quite intriguing. He muttered, "Let me check on the team first... Wait, isn't this a comedy? You asked them to make a horror movie?"
"Well, they are suitable." Bai Qiujing's tone at this moment was exactly the same as Shen Zhichu's tone last night.
"No, this crew used to perform skits. The three films they released in recent years have all received terrible reviews. How did you fall for them? I suspect it's not me who's still asleep, but you. Director Liu at least still has work to do and pays you well. I don't know what you're attracted to with this nearly bankrupt crew. They probably can't even afford one-tenth of your salary."
"I invest, I don't need any remuneration."
"You...invest?" Zhang Chaoyue didn't understand what Bai Qiujing was thinking. He always felt that Bai Qiujing was hiding something from him these days.
Zhang Chao asked quietly, "Have you been hiding something from me recently?" He had a strong sixth sense, and as soon as he saw Bai Qiujing's ears moving around, he knew that this matter was most likely related to Shen Zhichu.
The more Bai Qiujing felt proud, the faster his ears moved. This habit really hadn't changed at all!
And who else could be the reason for him to be so proud other than Shen Zhichu? !
"The leading female character in this script is Shen Zhichu, right? She plays your wife?"
This time, Bai Qiujing's ears not only moved, but also turned red, like red fruits in the mountains. The heat from his ears spread to his cheeks, and he heard a "boom" and tinnitus suddenly sounded.
"Yes... yes... she plays my... wife..."
No wonder Bai Qiujing is willing to pay for her for free. Zhang Chao has been thinking a lot recently. He used to look down on Shen Zhichu. After all, his reputation was too bad and he was not worthy of Bai Qiujing in any way.
Moreover, Bai Qiujing was just starting out, and he was really worried that Shen Zhichu would affect Bai Qiujing's career.
But after watching the first episode of the variety show, Zhang Chao's opinion of her changed significantly. As an insider, he knew what was going on in the entertainment industry after just a little thought.
Zhang Chao asked tentatively, "Are you and Shen Zhichu in a relationship?"
"not yet."
Zhang Chao just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Bai Qiujing say with a smug look on his face, "But it will be soon. Old Zhang, you're right. She has had a good impression of me from the beginning."
Bai Qiujing gave an example: "Every night I chat with her, and before going to bed she always sends me a good night message."
"What's wrong with sending goodnight?"
"Good night means I love you, doesn't it? You don't even understand that." Bai Qiujing looked at him as if he were an idiot.
Zhang Chao: Where the hell did this elementary school kid come from with such a big imagination?
"Not only did she text me goodnight at night, she also texted me back while she was eating."
"I texted you back while I was eating. I hadn't even finished my breakfast today when I received your call, dropped my bowl and chopsticks, and drove over here."
Bai Qiujing glanced at him coldly. The look was not very scary, just like two cold knives. Zhang Chao knew the situation and shut up, listening quietly to Bai Qiujing's unrealistic fantasies.
Children love to dream, so what else can we do? Of course, we should spoil them.
"By the way, when she encountered difficulties with her acting, the first person she looked for was me. I even acted opposite her before."
Damn, they were hooking up at that time. Zhang Chao's eyes were filled with resentment.
"Chen Zhichu also likes to stare at my mouth. I think she must want to kiss me. She is fascinated by my lips. But my lips are so beautiful, it's normal for her to want to kiss them. It's not like I won't let her kiss them." Bai Qiujing touched his lower lip, his mind full of images that are not suitable for children.
Zhang Chao's feet were practically sculpting a pyramid. How hadn't he realized Bai Qiujing was such a bit of a jerk before? So narcissistic?
As Bai Qiujing spoke, he thought of that night when they were watching a movie and Shen Zhichu suddenly touched the corner of his mouth.
If she didn't like him, why would she be so affectionate? If she didn't like him, why would she go on a "date" with him? If she didn't like him, why would she ask him to start a company with her? If she didn't like him, why would she let him hold her cat, who was so important to her? If she didn't like him, why would she invite him to act in a movie together, or even play a couple?
Zhang Chao asked him quietly, "Is she with you?"
Bai Qiujing curled his lips and said, "No, she said that she is not interested in this right now, she wants to work hard and build her career."
"She's just deliberately keeping you hanging. All these bad girls are like this nowadays. Do you understand, Green Tea?"
Bai Qiujing's face darkened. "Are you familiar with her? You're just talking about green tea. I think you look like a bottle of paraquat."
How was this any different from the daughter he had worked so hard to raise turning against his parents? Zhang Chao didn't want to argue with him about this anymore. He could just let him daydream. He'd cry one day.
"Let's talk about the movie first. Are you sure you want to invest in a horror movie and have a comedy director shoot it?"
"Sure."
"Then why did you call me here today?"
"Oh." Bai Qiujing sat nonchalantly in his boss chair and raised his chin. "I asked you to come here just to tell you to cancel my schedule." Not only did he have to study the script recently, he also had to arrange for someone to hand over the contract to the filming team. In addition, X Entertainment Company had to secretly acquire shares. He also wanted to get involved in Shen Zhichu's new house and try to finish the decoration as soon as possible.
If you count carefully, there is not even time to rest. Alas, it is really tiring to be a happy man.
Bai Qiujing raised a smug smile at the corner of his mouth. This time, not only his ears were moving, but his crossed legs were also shaking violently. Zhang Chao looked at the glass of water on the table that was shaking all the time, and he thought it was an earthquake.
Bai Qiujing sternly warned, "Don't let the news of my taking on a horror film leak out. Talk to the PR team and tell them I'm on vacation. We can give them a surprise when the film is finished and the promotion is underway."
Zhang Chao: I think it’s more like a shock.
Bai Qiujing, who never takes on romantic scenes, this time plays a couple with another woman.
