Chapter 672 Zhao Yuyan is missing?
Ye Rou returned to the outer hall.
As soon as he entered, Zhao Tianming came up to him anxiously: "Did you find the person?"
Seeing that his anxious look did not seem fake, Ye Rou frowned slightly.
She didn't have a good impression of Zhao Tianming - a cunning, cunning, and gambling-addicted guy who would actually have someone he cared about one day.
Ye Rou expressed her doubts about this, but did not hide it from him.
He frankly relayed the contents of the letter and concluded, "Anyway, she should have already left Beijing. You don't have to worry about her safety..."
"Where's the money?!" Zhao Tianming interrupted her and asked suddenly.
Ye Rou frowned: "What money?"
"My brother-in-law...Jiang family's money!" Zhao Tianming said impatiently.
Ye Rou looked at him deeply, and then she realized that Zhao Tianming was not worried about Zhao Yuyan's safety at all. He only thought about money.
She scoffed, feeling bored, and said casually, "I don't know where the money went. Maybe she took it, or maybe she didn't."
Zhao Tianming was somewhat dissatisfied with her ambiguous words. However, due to his status as Ye Rou's grandfather, he swallowed his complaints.
However, Zhao Yuyan left in a hurry and may not have had time to take the money with her!
When Zhao Tianming thought that the money was still in the Jiang family, he could no longer stay.
He said hurriedly: "Nephew's wife, I have something to do and I'll leave first."
After watching him leave, Ye Rou retracted the coldness in her eyes and looked at the strange man who had entered the outer hall, sitting restlessly with sweat on his forehead.
Although she had never seen this person before, she always felt that he looked strangely familiar.
"Who are you?"
When Wu Gang heard Ye Rou asking him, he quickly stood up and handed over his ID.
"I'm a director at a film studio, and I'm planning to make a movie."
Ye Rou took the ID and took a look at it. Seeing that the man's name was Wu Gang, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the man's face carefully. It was indeed Wu Gang.
She knew Wu Gang because of his son Wu Chuan, an internationally renowned director whose film won the highest award at the Cannes Film Festival and was also a favorite of Ye Rou.
Wu Chuan said in an interview that his father was also a film director and he grew up on the set and benefited a lot from it.
Ye Rou also went to watch the works of director Wu Gang. To be honest, they were quite average. The only difference was that Wu Gang loved to shoot beautiful women, very beautiful women, who could show their beauty to 100% in his movies.
When Wu Gang saw Ye Rou staring at him after taking the ID, he became nervous again.
“I’m really a studio director.”
Ye Rou came back to her senses and handed the ID back to him: "Why did you come to see me?"
Could it be that he is here to ask her to invest in a movie?
Ye Rou did have plans to invest. After all, she came from fifty years later and had some understanding of the future development of Beijing. She also wanted to invest in some projects that would be very profitable in the future.
But the movies made by Wu Gang can only be considered average.
She was just thinking about it when she heard Wu Gang say, "I want to invite Comrade Ye Rou to star in my movie."
Ye Rou suddenly turned her head to look at him. Seeing that he looked serious and didn't seem to be joking, she shook her head and said, "Sorry, I'm not interested in making movies."
Wu Gang quickly took out the script from his pocket and handed it to Ye Rou, saying, "This is the script for the movie. Comrade Ye Rou, you can take a look at it before making a decision."
Ye Rou opened the script and quickly went through the plot.
It was indeed a film she had seen before, a costume drama that combined opera and martial arts.
The story goes that a widow fell in love with a knight-errant, a wild and uninhibited man who loved the world of martial arts. The widow was unwilling to leave with him, so the knight had to leave alone.
After the ranger left, the widow found out she was pregnant and wanted to secretly give birth to the child and raise him. However, she was discovered by the villagers. After the widow begged, they let her give birth to the child before throwing her into a pig cage.
When the ranger came back, he found that his beloved had died. In revenge, he slaughtered the entire village and finally fled far away with his child.
A standard story, exactly like the movie she had seen.
The reason why Ye Rou remembered this movie was because the aftermath of its release was too tragic.
This film breaks through Wu Gang's usual conventional style, dark, depressing, and revealing...
Especially the actress who played the widow, there was a shot of her back in the film, and the picture was shot very erotic.
This scene, which seems quite normal and not very revealing in later generations, caused huge controversy after its release in that era. The female star who starred in it was scolded and eventually committed suicide due to depression.
Ye Rou closed the script, handed it back to Wu Gang, and refused again: "Sorry, I'm not interested in this story."
Wu Gang couldn't hide his disappointment, he looked at Ye Rou infatuatedly.
His gaze was not as if he was appreciating a handed-down painting, but was simply pure appreciation.
"If you come to star in my movie, I can preserve your most beautiful appearance forever."
Ye Rou shook her head again, indicating that she was not interested.
The mute woman asked Wu Gang to leave.
Wu Gang walked out in a daze.
"Director? Why are you here?"
Wu Gang turned around and saw that it was an actress from the film studio, her name seemed to be Manman - she was also the female lead he had originally chosen for this movie.
He nodded lacking interest and walked away dejectedly.
Manman looked at his back, her beautiful eyes burning with ambition.
Lianxin called her: "What are you looking at?"
Manman said excitedly, "Director Wu Gang is planning to shoot a costume movie recently, and the studio is interested in choosing me as the female lead!"
Lianxin and Manman experienced what happened last night. A noble female writer and a vulgar actress unexpectedly became good friends.
Seeing Manman's joy, Lianxin didn't discourage her and joined in the applause, saying, "Then when the movie comes out, I'll definitely go and support it!"
Manman said generously, "You don't have to spend any money, I'll reserve the best seat for you!"
As the two girls were chattering about their bright future, the mute woman came out again and invited them in.
Manman and Lianxin looked at each other, encouraged each other, and nodded in tacit understanding.
They came this time to thank Ye Rou for saving them at the banquet.
