"cheers!"

In a restaurant in GY City, several big hands holding beer glasses gathered together.

For a moment, the sound of wine glasses colliding could be heard continuously, wine foam splashed everywhere, and it was very lively.

"Congratulations on finishing the film!" Wang Xiaoshuai felt extremely happy.

This was very different from his mood before filming began.

He was anxious and angry before filming began.

Xingmei insisted on using Zhang Yuan, and he didn't dare to object.

The key is that Star Media is too strong. It is not only a film and television investment company, but also a cinema chain. After cooperating with China Film, its scale is expanding rapidly.

Can't be bothered.

Now that the filming is finished, he feels relieved.

Zhang Yuan performed very well, better than he expected.

And with the many suggestions he provided, the final product will be obviously better than previously expected.

"Come on, let's raise our glasses again and thank our leading actor." Wang Xiaoshuai said with a joyful smile.

After drinking, everyone started to eat the local specialty sour soup fish on the table.

Although they are the male and female protagonists, Gao Yuanyuan sits quite far away from Zhang Yuan, as if she is afraid that he will depend on her.

"Here, have another drink."

"Xingmei helped us submit our bid for this year's Cannes Film Festival before the deadline. When it starts, I will take everyone to walk the red carpet together!"

Wang Xiaoshuai was so happy that his saliva was flying.

Half of his energy and spirit in making the film is put into Cannes.

Since you're making art films, the money you make isn't that much, so it's definitely for the sake of fame.

We drank a lot during this meal. At first it was beer, and later we switched to Guizhou's local Xijiu.

Although Maotai is also a specialty of Guizhou, it is indeed expensive considering the strength of this crew.

After drinking a lot, the party ended.

The actors rushed to the airport.

The director and crew will have to clean up again for another day or two.

Before leaving for the airport, Zhang Yu, who played Qin Hao's younger brother during the filming of the dance scene, came to see him off.

I talked to Zhang Yuan for a long time.

It can be seen that this person really wants to make progress and wants to develop in a big city.

On the plane, thanks to Zhang Yuan's connections, several people were able to sit in the first class cabin.

Qin Hao looked around carefully; it was his first time sitting in first class.

[Received thanks from Qin Hao, acting skills +1! ]

This man had a strong sense of self-esteem, and although it was his first time sitting there, he pretended to be experienced.

He was still shaking his wine glass and nodding to Zhang Yuan.

This is so pretentious...

People who really sit in first class basically just sleep and rest on the plane.

Because those sitting here are either senior executives of large companies or CEOs of private enterprises. Everyone is very busy and has no time to worry about eating and drinking.

When they arrived in the imperial capital, everyone got off the plane and went to the exit together.

At this moment, a figure with a single ponytail, dressed beautifully and casually, appeared in the airport reception area.

The man was wearing big sunglasses and smiled brightly when he came out.

Zhang Yuan didn't even need to look at the face. As soon as he saw the pair of jeans that were washed so hard but he was reluctant to throw away, he knew it was Cheng Hao.

"Damn it, the surveillance is getting more and more intense..." Zhang Yuan thought to himself.

"It seems like we need to find her a few more movies to film."

"So that you don't have to revolve around me all day long."

Cheng Hao waved at him.

A few people walked over and she greeted Zhang Yuan joyfully.

"Let me introduce you, this is Qin Hao..."

"Who are you introducing? This is my senior brother." Cheng Hao gently shook hands with Qin Hao.

Oh, that's right, Qin Hao is from the class of 96 and Cheng Hao is from the class of 97, they must have seen each other quite often when they were in school.

"This is Gao Yuanyuan..."

"Hello." Cheng Hao waved his hand, walked up to the other person and gave him a gentle hug, much more enthusiastically than he treated Qin Hao.

Gao Yuanyuan's body was a little stiff and her smile was a little stereotyped.

Zhang Yuan watched from the side.

"Haojie's rank is much higher than Zhou Zhiruo's..."

"Is this what intellectual superiority is?"

"Thank you for taking care of Zhang Yuan during this period. Here is a small gift I prepared for you."

"Especially Yuanyuan, you and Zhang Yuan are the main characters in the opposite roles, so you are the one who is most troublesome."

This made Gao Yuanyuan confused. She didn't know how to speak or what expression to make.

"It's nice to meet you. I'll treat you to dinner when I have the chance in the future. That's it for now. We'll be leaving first." After saying that, Cheng Hao hooked his arm and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment." Zhang Yuan said, taking something out of his backpack.

"Haozi, this is for you."

When they took a look, they found it was a CD in a transparent plastic CD case.

"Give it to me?" Qin Hao pointed at himself in surprise.

"Yes." Zhang Yuan nodded in confirmation: "Also, remember what we talked about that night."

"If you want to make a commercial film for fun that day and earn some pocket money, remember to contact me." Zhang Yuan made a phone call gesture, and then he and Cheng Hao went to the underground garage to take a bus home.

Qin Hao scratched his head, not quite understanding what this CD was.

"Could it be... this is something that all men understand!"

Gao Yuanyuan, who was standing by, saw the two of them leaving arm in arm, and a sense of unwillingness suddenly arose in her heart and eyes.

hiss……

After being "scared" by Zhang Yuan a few days ago, she completely lost interest in this lover and tried to avoid him.

Now that she saw that they were in harmony, her dissipated emotions seemed to be restored at this moment...

On the way home in the car, Zhang Yuan looked helplessly at the popular girl beside him.

Cheng Hao shook her hair proudly, then threw a stack of information into his arms.

“Hey, this is the advertiser who approached you recently.”

"After the release of "Kung Fu", it seems that fewer businesses are looking for you." Cheng Hao frowned.

"It's possible. After all, I play a gangster boss in the movie, and he's a bit neurotic. The brand has to have its own considerations."

"But it's still worth it to be able to star in Stephen Chow's movie." Zhang Yuan didn't care.

"Initial D will be released in a few days. If the movie sells well, my commercial value will be further increased."

"That's good." Cheng Hao chatted with him about his recent work plans.

"Tangren asked me to act in "New Liaozhai", a unit drama. I guess my personal filming time won't be too long."

"I have agreed to a guest appearance in Huo Yuanjia with China Film Group. It should be done in about a week."

Zhang Yuan was thinking.

Cheng Hao was holding his chin, looking at him intently, his eyes full of affection and admiration.

"Ning Hao's preparations are almost done, and we'll start filming on a certain day. I want you to play a role," she added.

"Okay, after all, I invested money, so I'll go and perform, and at least I can attract some audiences."

"Increase the box office, and the money earned is yours."

"Also, the military drama produced by Hairun is called..." Cheng Hao couldn't remember the name for a moment.

"Drawing Sword."

"Yes, 'Drawing Sword'!" Cheng Hao patted his shoulder: "That film is almost finished."

"They're asking you if you want to go to the wrap-up party."

"I suggest you not to go." Cheng Hao pursed his lips and said somewhat unhappily.

"Why?" Zhang Yuan smiled and turned away.

"You spent so much money on investment, and military dramas don't make much money. I don't know why you did this." She frowned.

"You go to the wrap party, and you have to drink with the guests, give red envelopes, and spend more money and effort."

Cheng Hao is very smart and organized, and he can arrange all the work clearly.

However smart you are, there are limitations to the times.

Besides, she is not a senior official in the country, nor does she have any high-level relatives. The level of her information channels is too low, and her vision is also low.

"Not only do I want to go, I want to go with great fanfare!" Zhang Yuan retorted.

"I don't understand?" She shook her head.

"You'll understand then."

His investment in Hairun's films not only helped him make money, but also served to stimulate Huayi.

After all, Hairun, like Huayi, is also a combined film and television company that combines agency and production, and in the TV drama industry, it is now far superior to Huayi.

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." Cheng Hao said again.

"A while ago, a short guy came to the courtyard to look for you, saying he was playing games..."

"You brought him to the capital, but you haven't paid him rent or salary for several months."

Zhang Yuan covered his face. He was so busy that he forgot about Li Xiaofeng and his friends!
"I have paid you everything. The wages you owe have been paid, and the rent has also been paid."

"Also, the short guy said he brought a few friends along."

"He has played well recently, so there are clubs recruiting him and he wants a better training environment."

"He wants to change jobs?" Zhang Yuan asked.

"Yes." Cheng Hao nodded: "I don't know why you keep someone to help you play games."

"E-sports is the future, you will know later." Zhang Yuan touched his chin.

"The training environment and professional training system are very important. Having the support of the club is indeed beneficial for the players to improve their performance."

"So you plan to just wait until they leave, so you can save some money..." Cheng Hao nodded, took out his notebook, and planned to write this down.

"No, what I mean is, if a club comes to them, we will buy the club directly and use it to train the team and build an organizational structure."

Cheng Hao: ...

I've been trying to help you increase revenue and reduce costs, but you keep spending more and more, right?

E-sports clubs were still in their early stages of development back then, and the total value of a club was less than one million, which was just a drop in the bucket for him now.

"Please help me contact this team. I will pay for the title sponsorship, buy most of the club's shares, and advertise for them."

"If you do this...it will be useful later, right?" Cheng Hao said helplessly.

"Congratulations, you have learned how to answer quickly!" Cheng Hao: ...

"By the way, I finally got home from filming, and you gave me so much work to do in the car."

"Can't we just go home and talk about it?" Zhang Yuan complained.

After hearing this, Cheng Hao smiled charmingly and whispered in her ear: "I'll be home soon, you won't have time to work..."

"Oh!" Zhang Yuan raised his eyebrows.

It seems that it is not only Cheng Hao's existence that puts pressure on Gao Yuanyuan.

Gao Yuanyuan's existence also put pressure on Cheng Hao.

It's rare for her to be so proactive.

all the way home.

"Brother Zhang Yuan, you're back." Zhao Xinxin, who lived in the east room, ran over to help him with his luggage.

"I've been learning to drive very smoothly recently..."

"Let's talk about it later." Zhang Yuan interrupted her work report.

"Go out to eat, go shopping, and spend money now, but don't go home before dark."

"what?"

"I'll pay for all your expenses, go ahead."

"Oh..." She walked out the door puzzled.

After driving the "third party" away, he started to play happily with Cheng Hao.

A Zi is still better than Zhi Ruo.

The next day, they invited the two young leaders of the WE team who were trying to poach Li Xiaofeng.

After meeting him, the two realized that Li Xiaofeng was not bragging when he said his boss was a big star.

After hearing that Zhang Yuan was willing to invest in purchasing part of the team's shares and help with publicity by sponsoring the team, the two were overjoyed.

Nowadays, video games are known as "electronic heroin".

Although the country has included e-sports in the list of official sports, there are still very few enlightened investors.

Zhang Yuan not only gave money but was also willing to help with publicity.

Then the WE team will soon become the strongest and most well-known e-sports team in the country.

The negotiations naturally went very smoothly.

At that time, the team had not achieved much, but he only spent a few hundred thousand to acquire 50% of the shares.

But the prerequisite is that capital injection will continue every year and will not affect the existing management structure.

When Li Xiaofeng found out that his boss had bought a club, he was so shocked that he was speechless.

Zhang Yuan also encouraged him, saying that if he could win the world Grand Prix championship, he would give him a portion of the club's shares and let him become the boss as well.

Li Xiaofeng was only in his early twenties. He ate the pancake with great satisfaction and was moved to tears of gratitude.

In a few days he would go to Xi'an to participate in the WCG China Grand Prix. After Zhang Yuan knew about it, he directly gave him a travel budget for staying in a five-star hotel, which made him so excited that he almost fell asleep.

E-sports players in those days were very poor, and most of them were really doing it for love. There was no such thing as the high salaries, sleeping with fans, slacking off, and relying on foreign aid in competitions as in later generations.

With his current fame, it is easy for him to handle the emerging market of e-sports.

While he was busy here, Qin Hao returned to his rental house and rested for a night. When he was packing his bags, he remembered the CD that Zhang Yuan gave him.

He carefully locked the door, took out a brand new roll of tissues from the cabinet, and put it in his hand.

He stuffed the disc into the DVD player like a thief, turned on the TV and turned down the volume.

He stood up again and walked to the door to listen, making sure that his roommates were all well behaved and no one would disturb them, then he sat down again.

Qin Hao's thoughts on the CD that Zhang Yuan gave him were basically the same as Cheng Hao's.

"The thing you gave my senior brother, it can't be the same CD as the one you gave Brother Qian..."

These were Cheng Hao’s exact words at the time.

"Who do you think I am?" Zhang Yuan retorted immediately, but was met with a scornful smile from the other party.

Anyway, no matter what, Qin Hao now pretended to watch a porn movie and sat down.

I pressed the play button, and after the screen flashed a few times, the picture appeared.

On the TV, a beautiful figure with long hair and wearing a white princess dress appeared.

Qin Hao's eyes suddenly froze.

His face was filled with shock, because the figure that appeared on the screen was none other than someone else.

It was none other than his childhood idol, Ino Kagami!
Qin Hao was stunned for a second or two before the first thought flashed through his mind.

"My idol also filmed that?"

Of course, it is impossible for Inoue Jing to shoot a movie that only requires two or three people, one camera, and one scene.

On the morning of the day when he was on the set of "Qinghong", Zhang Yuan chatted with Qin Hao and learned that his idol since childhood was Yi Nengjinghou.

Zhang Yuan called Jia Jingwen who was far away in Taiwan.

When Teacher Jia answered the phone, his tone was excited and teasing.

"Why do you suddenly want to come to me?"

"Are you coming to Treasure Island?"

After Zhang Yuan chatted with her for a few minutes, this woman started to act badly.

"Let me tell you, I'm pregnant and I'm already seven months pregnant. You can calculate the time yourself."

When Zhang Yuan heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

I am!

No way.

I've always been very careful.

He hurriedly recalled that the last time he played with Teacher Jia was when he went to Taiwan to promote "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

At that time...

Zhang Yuan counted with his fingers, something was wrong!
The months don't match.

He was still calculating when a silvery laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Hehehehe..."

"Are you scared?"

"Don't worry, my belly has nothing to do with you."

"But if you come to Formosa, we can meet."

"I'm just preparing a wedding dress recently, do you want to see it?"

"You can see the bride in her wedding dress before the groom does."

Zhang Yuan: …

This is too much fun.

In later generations, someone initiated a vote on the Internet.

Who do you choose, 45-year-old Alyssa Chia or 30-year-old Zhou Dongyu?

What's infuriating isn't the unfair vote.

Instead, 6.7% of people chose Zhou Dongyu!
An old Bentley is still a Bentley, and a Passat will never become a Phaeton no matter how many years it is kept.

Even after another twenty years, Teacher Jia is still as charming as ever.

But no matter how beautiful you are, you're already seven months pregnant. Why don't we just focus on taking care of the baby?

Let alone meeting you, I'm afraid of having a miscarriage even if I call you.

Although some people do have a fetish for certain special stages of women, Zhang Yuan does not.

He decisively rejected the other party's "good intentions" and got down to business.

"Oh, Ino Kagami, I can get in touch."

"Sure, it's a piece of cake."

"But how are you going to thank me?" the other party teased him again in a confusing voice.

"After you give birth to the baby, if you want to make a comeback later, I can help you find a film contract in mainland China." Zhang Yuan replied calmly.

"Oh, you're so boring now. You were more interesting before." The other person complained: "Okay, okay, I get it."

"Well, thank you... By the way, remember to protect your property even if you get married." Zhang Yuan reminded again.

"I understand." After the other party already knew that she had children and a husband, Zhang Yuan deliberately drew a line between them.

I felt a little disappointed, but at the same time I thought he was pretty good.

Although it is not much, he still has some principles and integrity.

Hence, this CD was created.

On TV, Yi Neng Jing said sweetly.

"Hello, how are you?"

"I'm Ino Kagami."

"Although we have never met, I am very happy to meet you in this way, Mr. Qin Hao."

"I heard that your birthday is coming soon."

Qin Hao glanced at the calendar on the wall. It would be his 26th birthday in less than a week.

"So I'm here to wish Mr. Qin Hao a happy birthday."

"Every year has this day, every year has this day."

"I hope to meet and chat with you in person one day."

Then, Yi Neng Jing sang the entire Happy Birthday song in the video.

Suck...

Qin Hao washed his nose vigorously, then tore off a piece of toilet paper and wiped the corners of his eyes.

This roll of paper came in handy after all.

[Received thanks from Qin Hao, acting skills +5, dialogue skills +3! ]

"Not only did he remember my birthday, he even asked my idol to record a video for me..."

Qin Hao was so moved that he cried.

“That’s very kind of you.”

"And he's so strong. How did he find Ino Jing to record a birthday greeting for me?"

Qin Hao recalled what Zhang Yuan said when they separated at the airport that night after watching Kung Fu.

"If you want to make a commercial film, you can find me."

Before, he thought Zhang Yuan was just talking casually.

He is just showing off. He is from Northeast China, where it is common to pat one's chest before speaking.

It was only then that he began to think seriously about the matter.

Because he understood that Zhang Yuan was very likely to be able to help him arrange a job... (End of this chapter)
