Chapter Seventeen:
Chu Cheng only found out that Ji Qingzhou was on the hot search list when he was having a party with Yu Anming and others.
"An Yi and mine," Yu Anming said, "She also you and Ji don't seem to be true love, but you actually gave him such a resource."
"We weren't really in love anyway." Chu Cheng took a sip of wine and said indifferently.
Qin Xue laughed, "But you are his sponsor. Ji followed you just to get you to give him some good resources. You are such an unqualified sponsor."
"It's not like I gave him nothing. I gave him money."
Qin Xue sneered, "If Ji did other jobs, you would pay him, but he is a star. Aren't the most important things for stars those TV and movie resources? If he makes a movie and becomes famous, he will have all the money. Money is dead, but resources are renewable."
Yu Anming nodded, "That's the truth."
"But that's normal," Yao Xiuyuan leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed. "If you really give him all the good resources and he takes off, he might be ready to escape from you. So, it's safer to give him money."
Chu Cheng said disdainfully, "He's not the only man here. If he flaps his wings and flies away, then let him fly. I don't have to have him. I can find a new one when the time comes and it will be just as easy."
"Tsk tsk," Yao Xiuyuan smacked his lips, "When I saw how you treated him, I thought you doted on him, but I didn't expect it was all just superficial."
Chu Cheng put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Yao Xiuyuan. "I am willing to pamper him, but I don't need him. If he wants to leave, I won't keep him. If he wants to stay, I won't chase him away. We each get what we need and just be happy with each other. Do we have to be upset over something like this? There's no need for that."
"Listen, President Chu is still more conscious."
"Since you don't care about these, why not give him some decent resources?" Yu Anming suggested. "I heard that in An Yi's circle, the practice of "red against white" is quite serious. If you are famous, everyone will flatter you. If you are just an ordinary star, some crew members will ignore you. After all, he is your man, and you can't always be an 18th-tier star."
Chu Cheng felt that he made sense. "I didn't get him this role, it was his agent who got it for him. I've been busy lately, so I didn't pay attention to this aspect."
"It seems like you, Mr. Chu, are eating and dashing?!" Shao Yong interrupted.
Chu Cheng was speechless, "I haven't even had my pre-dinner snack yet."
"Such pure love, just like Plato," Shao Yong applauded him, "Mr. Chu is indeed highly conscious. An ordinary person like me can't do that."
Chu Cheng threw an orange into his arms, "You're the only one who talks too much, shut up."
"Really?" Qin Xue asked curiously, "Don't you want to sleep with him? It's been so long, and you haven't slept with him yet? Ji doesn't look like a difficult person."
"Why are you so interested in my personal affairs? Are you all so gossipy? Do you want to be entertainment reporters?"
"As an entertainment reporter, your information is not explosive at all, which is disappointing."
"That's right. I thought you two had already got on the highway, but I didn't expect that you haven't even sat in the driver's seat yet." Yao Xiuyuan said with a smile.
Chu Cheng felt that they talked too much today, "Shut up, all of you, you are the only ones who have a mouth."
Yu Anming smiled and said, "Even if there is nothing wrong between you two, you should still give him what he deserves since he is accompanying you."
"I didn't refuse to give it to him. I just forgot about it. Let me take a look and talk to his agent to find him some better resources."
"Do you still need to find one? You have so many IPs under you, and you have money, why don't you just invest in any movie and let him be the male lead?" Shao Yong said while peeling an orange.
"I have to find a suitable one for him, one that is popular in the market. Do you really think I'm like those fools who only know how to squeeze their own people into the crew without even caring whether the role is suitable?" Chu Cheng shook his head, "Stupid."
Shao Yong picked up the orange in his hand and threw it at him, "You are the only one who is smart."
Chu Cheng caught it, broke it open and ate a petal, "I'm not smarter than you."
Shao Yong: ...I have never seen such a shameless person!
Ji Qingzhou felt a little tired from filming, but this tiredness was not from the filming itself, but from the fact that the filming schedule was too loose and the waiting time was too long. Not only that, when he was leaving his makeup in the morning, the makeup artist who was doing his makeup often went to do someone else's makeup.
Sometimes, he would get up at five in the morning and go to do his makeup and hair at six, but the makeup artist would go to do other people's makeup halfway through, and by the time she came back to do Ji Qingzhou's makeup, it was already past nine o'clock when she handed in her makeup.
Ji Qingzhou felt that this was a waste of time, so he spent the whole morning discussing with her in a nice voice, "Sister Xin, I can come a little later in the future. You can help Brother Liu with his makeup first, and I'll come over when he's almost done."
Ji Qingzhou's brother Liu is the fourth male character in the play. His full name is Liu Xu, and he plays the friend of the male lead Zhang Fei in the play.
