Chapter 1096: Grandma God of Wealth
As soon as the news of Zhou Suihuai's resignation spread, all the actors on the set were upset.
More than half of these people came here for Zhou Suihuai.
As the youngest actor, it has become his routine to make everything he shoots a hit. Many people who knew that Zhou Suihuai was going to shoot this drama had been using their connections to get him in eight hundred years ago. Many well-known actors in the entertainment industry even said that they would be happy to play a small role of three to five minutes in this drama.
Zhou Suihuai is not going to act anymore, so why are these people still staying in this drama?
Isn't this just a joke?
Overnight, this production, which brought together countless outstanding and familiar actors, became precarious, and everyone was trying to verify the authenticity of the news that Zhou Suihuai had quit.
Bian Zhi knew when Zhou Suihuai left the room, she hadn't slept at all.
There was a bang on the door. Bian Zhi propped himself up with his hands and went to open the door listlessly.
As soon as the door opened, Ruan Lingyu and Chen Bing rushed in like crazy. They were still in their pajamas, with faces full of despair and anxiety, as if the sky was about to fall.
"Oh my God! How can you still sleep? The sky seems to be falling!" Ruan Lingyu went crazy as soon as she opened her mouth.
Bian Zhi rubbed his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong? Honey, why didn't you reply to my message? Did you know that Zhou Suihuai quit the show? There's a huge commotion going on outside. The media outlets are all waiting at the entrance to the studio. What's going on with Zhou Suihuai? Doesn't he really like this show? Why did he quit all of a sudden?"
Bian Zhi was about to speak.
Chen Bing immediately said, "Please don't do that. Bian Zhi, do you know how much effort Ruan Lingyu and I put in to get a minor role in this drama? It was all for the sake of having a face in this drama. My contract with the agency is about to expire. If my popularity remains so stagnant, the company will definitely not renew my contract. What should I do?"
Ruan Lingyu had just signed a contract with a new company, but she was also worried. "In my new company, there are all kinds of young actresses competing for attention. I also want to ride on Zhou Suihuai's popularity and get some of the attention."
The two looked at Bian Zhi with grievance and asked in unison, "So, what happened to Zhou Suihuai?"
Bian Zhi has a very clear plan for Zhou Suihuai's career. He has won the Best Actor award many times, and with this drama, he has completely established himself among powerful actors. This drama was carefully selected by her and tailored to Zhou Suihuai's personality.
The other party said that Zhou Suihuai would definitely like it, but why did something unexpected happen at the last minute?
Nothing special happened yesterday, except for my confession to Zhou Suihuai...
So, was it because of her that Zhou Suihuai gave up starring in this drama?
"Where is Zhou Suihuai?" Bian Zhi asked.
Ruan Lingyu had her hair disheveled when she got up early in the morning, but she didn't care about that now. She pulled Bian Zhi and walked out of the room.
Bian Zhi was dragged out of the dormitory building. Zhou Suihuai and the director were standing under a big tree. Director Lin Sui had a lit cigarette in his hand, his brows were furrowed, and he looked very anxious.
As they walked over, they heard Lin Sui whisper to Zhou Suihuai, "Can't you reconsider this? Is there any room for negotiation?"
Zhou Suihuai was about to speak when he heard someone calling him from not far away.
It's Gardenia scabra.
Bian Zhi walked over quickly, with bloodshot eyes. Since there were outsiders present, Bian Zhi didn't want to ask too many questions too excitedly. He just took a few breaths and stood next to Zhou Suihuai.
The smell of smoke was a bit strong. When Bian Zhi walked over, he was anxious and coughed slightly.
Zhou Suihuai turned to look at Lin Sui and said, "Put out your cigarette."
Lin Sui was extremely anxious and didn't pay any attention to Bian Zhi, but he still put out his cigarette after listening to Zhou Suihuai's words. Now Zhou Suihuai was his God of Wealth. If the God of Wealth left, what role would he have in this drama?
How many big names will follow behind?
"Sui Huai, please reconsider this. We need to be open to negotiation. Tell us what you're not satisfied with and we'll do our best to satisfy you. Are you dissatisfied with your role or your character's personality? Just tell us and I'll have the screenwriter revise it overnight! If you think your role is too little, we can add more!"
Zhou Suihuai did not answer Lin Sui's words immediately.
He took off his clothes and put them on Bian Zhi's shoulders, then said lightly: "It has nothing to do with these. I don't have time later."
When Lin Sui heard this, he immediately said, "Did someone offer you a high price? I'll tell the investor how much it's offered."
Zhou Suihuai shook his head. "It's not about the money. I really don't have time. It's settled. There's no room for negotiation. Hurry and find someone. I'll have the penalty transferred to your account on time."
Lin Sui was devastated. This drama fits Zhou Suihuai 100% perfectly. He is the perfect male lead. How can he be replaced?
This is going to kill him!
How could Lin Sui be willing to accept this? He immediately grabbed Zhou Suihuai and said, "Come on, wait a minute. Don't leave yet. Stand here and wait."
After saying that, he went to make a phone call.
On this day, Lin Sui called everyone from the teacher who brought Zhou Suihuai into the industry, to the respected seniors in the entertainment industry, to Zhou Suihuai's good friends, and finally to Zhou Suihan and Zhou Guotao.
But Zhou Suihuai can't do it.
Lin Sui was busy making a phone call, while Zhou Suihuai was busy answering it.
While he was on the phone, he asked someone to bring a bench over, took Bian Zhi's hand and sat down. Afraid that Bian Zhi would be cold, he pushed her hand into his pocket. He lowered his head, looked at her, listened to the gaps in the conversation on the other end of the phone, and asked the person in his arms seriously, "Are you cold?"
Bian Zhi shook his head.
Zhou Suihuai continued talking to the person on the other end of the phone.
Bian Zhi discovered that he didn't seem particularly enthusiastic towards anyone, his words were cold and matter-of-fact.
It's the same few sentences over and over again.
"Well, I don't have time after this, so I won't be acting for now."
"I know this is a good book, but I still can't do it."
"I have no problem with Lin Sui, nor do I have any problems with the other people in the crew. They're all good. There's nothing to change. I don't have time."
“…”
After that, it was Zhou Sui Han.
Zhou Sui Han: "What are you crazy about again? Don't you like this book very much? I saw this book on your bedside before. You also said that the author of this book knows your soul very well. Why is it that it doesn't resonate with your soul now?"
Zhou Suihuai: "Brother, are you free?"
Zhou Suihan gasped on the other end of the line. "I'm free? Do you know how many companies I manage? I'm free? I'm making tens of millions every minute. Lin Sui's parents called me, saying Lin Sui was crying and throwing a tantrum, and they told you to stay."
Zhou Suihuai: "I really don't have time."
Zhou Suihan: "Okay, then tell me, what do you want to do?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Suihuai lowered his head to look at the person in his arms. Bian Zhi was still wearing simple pajamas, similar to home clothes, with a wide neckline. He could see the wound on her back from the angle he lowered his head.
"Something's going on," Zhou Suihuai's tone became even colder, "Don't worry about it."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The calls continued to come in.
Zhou Suihuai still said the same few words.
At the same time, he was afraid that the person in his arms would feel noisy, so he gently covered Bian Zhi's ears.
Bian Zhi looked up at Zhou Suihuai. There was no expression on his face, and his eyes were flat when he spoke. He had clearly liked the script very much before, but now it seemed as if it had nothing to do with him.
Bian Zhi doesn't understand.
Lin Sui is even more confused.
He pulled out all the family connections that hadn't been used for eight hundred years. He watched Zhou Suihuai's unrestrained state while he was on the phone from afar, and he became more and more panicked.
Ruan Lingyu stood beside Lin Sui, thinking deeply.
"What did Zhou Suihuai mean by 'no time'? What was he going to do?"
Lin Sui was already devastated. "Who knows? Could it be that someone poached him? But I just asked around and didn't hear anyone making any noise."
Chen Bing shook his head. "He's Zhou Suihuai, how could he be short of money? He couldn't have been poached just for money."
Lin Sui himself also thought it was impossible. After spending a long time with Zhou Suihuai, he could actually find that Zhou Suihuai was a person with very low material desires. He was quite casual about many things and did not have the airs of a young master. He could eat the lunch boxes on the set and could stay in a noisy environment. Most of the time, he hardly showed the pride of a wealthy family. Apart from his cold face, he was actually not difficult to approach.
This kind of person will never give in to anything for money.
"Why is that?!" Ruan Lingyu collapsed.
Lin Sui was even more devastated. "I don't care about the reason. I just want to know who can let Zhou Suihuai continue to stay on this crew! Damn it, if we don't hurry up, he's going to pay the penalty!"
Once the money is transferred in, there is nothing more to talk about.
"Are you looking for Bian Zhi?" Chen Bing stood aside, looking at Lin Sui in confusion. "You've looked for so many people, but haven't you thought of looking for Bian Zhi?" Chen Bing raised his chin in the direction where the two were sitting.
Lin Sui looked over.
Zhou Suihuai, who usually seems a little indifferent, answered the phone with one hand and gently hugged the person next to him with the other hand. His palm was almost invisible, patting the person next to him from time to time.
Only when the emotionless gaze moves from a distance to the person next to him will a slight warmth appear. When he looks up, the light in his eyes will fade again.
Lin Sui slapped his forehead suddenly.
"Oh, I'm so stupid!"
…
"Goddess of Wealth! Please," Lin Sui was smart enough to tell Zhou Suihuai that the screenwriter had something to ask him, and he forced Ruan Lingyu to entangle Bian Zhi. Zhou Suihuai frowned and warned Ruan Lingyu not to take people away. He walked away, looking back every few steps. As soon as Zhou Suihuai left, Lin Sui immediately slid to his knees and knelt down in front of Bian Zhi. "Goddess of Wealth, please save my life!"
Bian Zhi's eyes were originally fixed on Zhou Suihuai's back as he walked into the shed. When she saw Lin Sui's movement, she turned around and saw him kneeling in front of her. She was startled and stood a little to the side. "What are you doing?"
"Goddess of Wealth Grandma!" Lin Sui was so anxious that he cried and almost hugged Bian Zhi's thigh. "Grandma from the Finance and Audit Department, I know your family is not short of money or resources. If you want to play the role of the cast in this play, you can find a hundred in a minute. But this play is my hard work. If it weren't for Zhou Suihuai, no one could play the male lead with such charm."
By this point, Bian Zhi had roughly understood what was going on.
"Isn't Zhou Suihuai going to perform anymore?" Bian Zhi asked.
Lin Sui: “Yes!”
"Did he say why?"
Lin Sui: "He said something incoherent, oh I can't remember, anyway he said he didn't have time. He's been researching this drama for a long time, how could he not have time? He specially cleared his schedule to talk to me, how could he not have time! God of Wealth, I really beg you, please say a few words for me."
Lin Sui looked devastated, crying for his parents. People passing by could tell that even a big director like him was in such a miserable state.
However, Bian Zhi did not agree immediately. Zhou Suihuai always had his own considerations when doing things. Bian Zhi called Li Kun over, and the two walked aside and asked, "Zhou Suihuai, you like this drama very much, right?"
Li Kun was also wondering, "Yeah."
Bian Zhi: "Did you tell me why you quit?"
Li Kun also shook his head, "Oh, but the young master asked the family plane to wait at the Linbei site, saying that he would need it later."
Bian Zhi asked, "Where are you going?"
Li Kun shook his head again: "No, but it's not a domestic flight. The captain of the arrangement is an international flight."
After hearing this, Bian Zhi had an idea in mind.
The reason why she never told Zhou Suihuai about her experiences in the past few years was because she was afraid of facing the current situation. She was afraid of Zhou Suihuai's guilt and that he would restrain himself. She had no choice but to leave five years ago, and she was afraid that Zhou Suihuai would take everything on himself, so she kept silent.
Bian Zhi sighed and said, "I understand."
Zhou Suihuai came out of the shed in less than five minutes. Lin Sui was still standing in front of him crying. Zhou Suihuai looked at him from a distance and realized that she had deliberately sent him away to beg Bian Zhi to talk.
Zhou Suihuai frowned, with an unhappy look on his face.
He walked over and was about to take the other person away. Lin Sui quickly cried out, "Hey!" and said anxiously, "No, don't leave in such a hurry!"
Zhou Suihuai didn't even raise his eyes. Seeing that Lin Sui was about to kneel down again, Bian Zhi spoke. She smiled and pulled Zhou Suihuai's clothes with her other hand.
Zhou Suihuai looked down at her.
Bian Zhi: "I'm hungry." Her little face was tilted upwards, with her usual cute smile hanging on the corner of her mouth. She was acting coquettishly. Zhou Suihuai felt soft-hearted but also heartbroken. He stared at the person in front of him for a long time before nodding. He suppressed the sadness that was surging in his heart, raised his hand and rubbed Bian Zhi's head, "I'll take you to have breakfast."
Bian Zhi smiled, "Yeah."
Lin Sui and the others beside him were stunned. He had just begged and pleaded with everyone to let them stay, and Zhou Suihuai was so ruthless. But Bian Zhi just said three words, and Zhou Suihuai softened his heart?!
Lin Sui looked at Bian Zhi with an immediately pleading and eager look.
Seeing this, Zhou Suihuai stepped forward unhappily, blocking Lin Sui's sight.
Lin Sui touched the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.
During the meal.
The director was busy running around, and then he set up a table full of food.
Bian Zhi sat aside to eat while Lin Sui continued to persuade Zhou Suihuai, "Suihuai, how about this? You've put a lot of effort into this drama. If you have anything else to do, go ahead and do it. I'll arrange other scenes here first. When you have time, you can come over. We're always on call here. Is that okay with you?"
Zhou Suihuai had finished his breakfast and was now completely accompanying Bian Zhi. He picked up some food and put it in Bian Zhi's bowl while responding to Lin Sui indifferently, "I really don't have time. You should find someone else. Wang Mingyang is not bad. He has a schedule recently."
"No, Wang Mingyang's reputation is no match for yours, you--" Lin Sui was getting anxious and going crazy.
Bian Zhi said calmly, "You two have similar looks, but you're more suitable for this role."
Lin Sui immediately turned his head to look at Bian Zhi.
Zhou Suihuai took a boiled egg and peeled it slowly. He turned his head to look at the people around him without saying a word.
Lin Sui was a man of understanding. Upon hearing what Bian Zhi said, he immediately responded, "Right? The two of them are somewhat similar in build, but they are very different. Look at Sui Huai's temperament, his acting skills, the noble aura that emanates from me. If you're not a rich young man, you can't act that out."
Bian Zhi nodded, took a bite of the boiled egg Zhou Suihuai fed her, and smiled with eyes curved. "Yeah, I like this story too."
Lin Sui's eyes lit up immediately. "Isn't it? This story is great. Do you like it too?"
Bian Zhi: "I like it. A broken heart and a reconciliation. I like this ending."
After saying this, Bian Zhi lowered his head and continued eating without responding to Lin Sui's words. Lin Sui continued to chatter beside him. After a long while, Bian Zhi was full. When he wiped the corner of his mouth, he turned to look at Zhou Suihuai beside him and said, "Are you acting? I really want to watch it."
Zhou Suihuai looked at her and raised his hand to gather her collar to prevent the cold wind from blowing in. He was very considerate and caring. "Want to see?"
Bian Zhi nodded and said, "I want to watch your performance, but not others'."
Zhou Suihuai raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Bian Zhi smiled and stood up, leaning over to whisper in Zhou Suihuai's ear, "I wrote this script. Master Zhou, could you please give me a favor and play the leading role?"
Lin Sui watched the interaction between the two in bewilderment, not realizing at all that he was the one who made the mistake.
All we know is that after a brief moment of stunned expression, Zhou Suihuai turned around and said to Lin Sui, "Move the start time. I'll be back in half a month."
Even after Zhou Suihuai left, Lin Sui still hadn't closed his mouth in the wind.
At once--
Promise?!
Just like that—
Agree?
Before, he called half of the entertainment industry to lobby, even Zhou Suihan, and the phone was dead, with no effect at all. Bian Zhi just said such a meaningless sentence, and Zhou Suihuai--
Promised!
The people who had just been watching from afar swarmed over to sit next to Lin Sui after Zhou Suihuai left, and asked nervously, "How is it?"
Lin Sui was still in a daze, and said a little late, "Continue the performance!"
Ruan Lingyu and Chen Bing exclaimed, "Yeah!" Chen Bing said, "I told you, it has to be Bian Zhi!"
Lin Sui slammed the table and stood up, facing the stagehands and assistant director behind him, "From now on, all of you, open your eyes wide and be polite to Zhou Suihuai's family. Even if you treat Zhou Suihuai unfairly, you can't treat his family unfairly! Otherwise, if you make them angry, I'll fire you!"
When Lin Sui said this, he glanced at Yu Shengsheng, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear. Whoever made the Goddess of Wealth unhappy would be fired!
How could Bian Zhi be Zhou Suihuai's wife in name only? She was clearly Zhou Suihuai's beloved daughter!
