Chapter 162 Boss Cai Calls
Two or three months ago, the encounter at the airport made Zhang Yuan save the mobile phone number of Cai Yinong, the boss of Tangren Film and Television.

Now, seeing her name appear on the caller ID of his mobile phone, Zhang Yuan couldn't help but smile.

"You are smiling so happily, is it your girlfriend calling you?" Brother Qian immediately said, "Do you want me to step aside and go out for a walk in the evening?"

Brother Qian was thoughtful and gave him room for passion.

He thought it was Cheng Hao who came to visit last time and called, so he reacted like this.

"It's a woman, but not this kind of relationship."

How could Zhang Yuan not be happy?

The big fish has taken the bait, you must be happy!

In fact, according to his original plan, he was going to borrow money from Fatty Zhao and leverage on Tang Ren's power, combining the two to create better opportunities for himself.

After all, a newcomer like him who has no power, no influence and no background can only rely on the power of others to make profits for himself.

The original process was to get the money from Zhao Decai, buy the copyright, and take the initiative to find Tang Ren to discuss filming and production matters with him as an investor's representative.

But everyone knows that there was a little "accident" on the road...

He met Cai Yinong in advance, which triggered a series of changes afterwards.

In this way, the biggest change is that the initiative has changed hands!

According to the original plan, he had to find the sugar man and beg him to make the film.

But now, the situation is completely opposite, Cai Yinong has to find him instead!

He has been waiting recently for Boss Cai to contact him.

Now, the wait has finally come!

He adjusted his state and put on a cynical and nonchalant attitude.

He deliberately waited for the phone to ring for a long time before answering it lazily.

"Hello, where are you?"

"Hello, Zhang Yuan, I'm Cai Yinong."

"Ah, Cai Yinong... who are you?"

Cai Yinong was already holding back his anger, and now when he heard the other party pretending not to know him, the flames of anger flared up even more!

But after all, he was the boss, so she suppressed her temper and spoke in a nice voice.

"We met at the Imperial Capital Airport, do you remember?"

"Oh, it's Mr. Cai from Tangren Films. Look at my poor memory!"

Pack!
You bastard, are you still pretending?

Cai Yinong was very depressed after returning from Taiwan, and was even unhappy for a long time afterwards.

Since her debut, there has been nothing she has failed to accomplish.

In 97, she brought in Li Yapeng, Jacklyn Wu, and her good friend Li Guoli to direct "Beijing-Hong Kong Love Line", but the investors who were just playing around felt that the payback period was too long, so they not only withdrew their investment, but also closed the film and television company.

Under such circumstances, Cai Yinong not only took over the company, but also pulled Li Guoli in to reorganize the company and invest his own money. This company later became Tangren Film and Television.

She managed to get through such a difficult situation, and since then she has had smooth sailing, as if she were blessed by God.

She had never met anyone who could make her feel humiliated.

Zhang Yuan: Hey, you’ll see it today!

I was rejected at the airport and then surrounded by hooligans when I arrived in Taiwan. Anyone would be angry.

She waited patiently, and after careful investigation, she came to a conclusion that she could not believe at all.

The mastermind behind all this turned out to be the young actor who had a harmless and polite smile and whom he met at the airport!
You...

When Boss Cai got the news, he felt dizzy as if he had been hit in the ass.

You can imagine how much psychological damage a bitch can cause to a female boss in her thirties, wuwuwu...

How could she have imagined that one day she would be tricked by a young actor.

According to the thinking of ordinary successful people, they probably want to skin Zhang Yuan alive and drink his blood, then tear his bones and eat his flesh.

But Boss Cai is a little different.

She, like the bearded man, is very confident.

But the difference is that the bearded man was confident in his ability to manipulate others, so he ultimately failed in this matter.

Cai Yinong was extremely confident in her ability to select and judge people, so she ultimately failed in this matter.

Boss Cai was a casting director, so she believes she is a genius at judging people. This has become her greatest strength and also her greatest weakness.

Before meeting Zhang Yuan at the airport, she had already noticed the young actor, otherwise she would not have taken the initiative to talk to him.

After the copyright buying and selling incident, Boss Cai was of course furious, but at the same time he also had another idea.

"He can make me so embarrassed."

"If I take him under my command, wouldn't it be possible to make my opponent even more embarrassed?"

“This is a talent!”

“And his talent isn’t just in acting.”

"Sure enough, my vision was right!"

Boss Cai thought about it and formed a logical loop.

The person I like must be amazing.

So even though she was angry, she still had the patience to talk to Zhang Yuan nicely. This was the reason.

"I won't mention the previous things, let's just talk about the main points."

Seeing that Zhang Yuan was playing dumb, Cai Yinong was tactful enough not to mention his "little trick" at that time.

"Now the adaptation rights of The Legend of Sword and Fairy are in your hands."

"Mr. Cai, you misunderstood two things?"

"What do you mean?" Cai Yinong asked puzzledly.

"First of all, I bought the copyright for the investors. I just hold a few shares. After all, I am doing things for the investors." Zhang Yuan hurriedly pushed all the responsibility onto Fatty Zhao.

When Mr. Cai heard this, he bit his lip.

Which investor is so lucky to find him to help him with things.

"Secondly, the copyrights we obtained include not only The Chinese Paladin, but also The Chinese Paladin 3 and Xuan-Yuan Sword: Scar of Sky."

Cai Yinong: !!!
Mr. Cai's heart trembled.

His appetite is bigger than I thought or heard!

"Hiss... That's not right. The Chinese Paladin should only have been released to the second generation. Why did you buy the copyright for the third generation?"

Mr. Cai discovered something was wrong.

"I bought it in advance. The third generation should be released soon."

Cai Yinong's eyes flickered and she was hesitant.

The game has not yet been released, so its reputation is unknown.

But he pocketed it ahead of time. Is he really that confident?
Cai Yinong was cautious and planned to keep an eye on the sales of "Chinese Paladin III" in the future.

"Okay, let's put these aside for now and talk about "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" first." Boss Cai brought out the topic.

Zhang Yuan on the other end of the phone covered his mouth and laughed.

I couldn't help it after all!

"I have always been interested in the TV series production of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy". Why don't we find some time to have dinner and chat in private?" Boss Cai made the invitation sincerely.

"Let's talk about it later. I'm busy lately." Zhang Yuan replied immediately. Cai Yinong was furious!

When I praise you for being fat, you get out of breath, right?

I was so nice and gentle, chatting with you without holding any grudges, but you still had this attitude... Cai Yinong really wanted to reach out along the phone line and strangle him.

But Zhang Yuan's next words instantly extinguished her anger.

"I'm going to shoot a movie directed by Feng Xiaogang soon. Please contact me later."

Cai Yinong was silent for a long time before agreeing.

After hanging up the phone, Mr. Cai tapped his fingers on the desk and thought for a long time.

"He can even take on Feng Xiaogang's roles!"

Not to mention the sugar man of today, even the sugar man in his heyday in later generations was just one of the bigwigs in the TV drama circle.

But Feng Xiaogang is a representative figure of the entire Chinese film and television industry, and Mr. Cai knows that he cannot compare to him.

"It seems I have to find a chance to talk to him."

President Cai waved his fist vigorously: "If there is a chance, you must pull him under my command!"

"Hey, that's not right!"

She suddenly realized: "Just now he told me to contact him later, not him contacting me."

"This guy is so arrogant."

"Hehehe."

"He has personality. I like that." After a while, she smiled and talked to herself again.

On the other side, Zhang Yuan was almost laughing!
"Okay, the initiative is still completely in my hands."

"And thanks to Director Feng's pretense, it must have given her quite a shock."

"Everything is planned."

Zhang Yuan happily lay down on the lounge chair in the yard.

What he wanted to get from the copyright of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was not only objective profits, but also the opportunity to join the "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" crew.

"I've played too many supporting roles, it's time for me to play the leading role again!"

What he wants is another chance to star in a big production.

Although after a series of operations on the set of "A Chinese Ghost Story", he is indeed not far from becoming the protagonist.

But in essence, he is still a supporting actor.

But now it’s the “Chinese Paladin” side, hehe…

Thinking of this, he turned and looked at Yu Qian.

"Brother Qian, do you have a computer in your room?"

"Yes, do you want to use it?"

"Well, lend it to me."

"Row."

Computer monitors in those days were all CRT monitors, which were the "big butt" ones that used cathode ray tubes.

Zhang Yuan opened Brother Qian's computer and curiously clicked on the folders named "Learning Materials".

"Muto Ran, Iijima Ai...really retro."

"That's right. At this point in time, these people are not only not retro, but also the trendsetters of the times."

He closed the folder and opened QQ instead.

In the contact list, I found a user with a cat avatar.

【As calm as the wind】

Zhang Yuan concentrated on thinking: "An Feng..."

This is Liu Qianqian’s real name, but after her parents divorced, Liu Xiaoli completely changed her name.

"It seems that even though she doesn't mention it, she still misses her dad a lot."

Why did Liu Qianqian and Shu Chang hit it off at first sight?
In addition to being of similar age, more importantly, they both come from single-parent families.

We should be able to understand each other better.

"Is Wang Yuyan here?" It was the first time that Zhang Yuan sent a QQ message to Xixi.

About five or six minutes later, Zhang Yuan had finished a whole pack of .8 Zhongnanhai cigarettes when the familiar beeping sound came from the computer speakers.

"You asked me to add you on QQ, but you ignored me. Humph!"

On the other end of the network cable, Liu Qianqian looked back at the door of the room, made sure her mother was not there, and then clumsily tapped the keyboard with two fingers.

She only recently figured out how to use QQ, and the only person she regularly chats with is Shu Chang.

"I've been on the set lately and I don't have a computer. I just got home and found a computer to send you a message."

"Okay then." More than a minute passed before Xixi typed these three words.

If she went a little slower, Zhang Yuan would have enough time to review Muto Ran.

"Do you usually play computer games?"

"There's a game that's very popular online recently, called The Legend of Sword and Fairy, do you know it?"

Liu Qianqian had just replied halfway through her first sentence when Zhang Yuan called with the second sentence, overwhelming her "binary" input method.

"My mother doesn't allow me to play games." Xixi replied distressedly.

Yes, in those days, games were called "electronic XXX", and parents considered playing games to be a form of heresy, a waste of time, or even a mental illness.

"This game is going to be adapted into a TV series soon, so tell your mom that you're doing your homework in advance to prepare for the audition."

"Wow, this is a good excuse!" Xixi's eyes lit up and she thought that Zhang Yuan was smart.

She naively thought that Zhang Yuan was really asking her to play games.

"Remember to buy the genuine product." Zhang Yuan thought, if someone found out that the leading actress was playing with pirated discs, she would be scolded to death.

"Yeah, I know."

"Zhang Yuan, I've been reading a book recently, do you want to read with me?"

"What book? Is it Mr. Jin's work?"

"No, it's Harry Potter. Go watch it. We can chat after you finish."

Zhang Yuan knew that this person had the habit of reading.

Later, Sissi was chased by paparazzi and was found meeting a man in a hotel.

When encountering such a thing, the paparazzi will get excited and must follow and film it.

If we could take photos of them checking into a hotel, it would be all over the entertainment section.

As a result, after filming for most of the night, they found out that this guy was sitting in the hotel lobby discussing the "Tao Te Ching" with others for several hours... The paparazzi wanted to slap themselves in the face.

"Okay, I'll go watch it right now." Zhang Yuan had watched the entire Harry Potter series in his previous life, but in order not to spoil his fun, he immediately agreed.

"Yeah, let me tell you...my mom called me to eat. We'll talk later." Xixi was halfway through the call when she heard her mother's voice and replied hurriedly.

After saying this, the person's avatar turned gray, and Zhang Yuan in front of the computer fell into silence.

He turned his head to look at the courtyard and found that Brother Qian was not there, so he opened the "Study Materials" folders...

The next day, in the afternoon, he arrived at the "Cell Phone" crew on time.
