Chapter 379 Invitation
Chapter 379 Invitation
Unfortunately, Lin Tianxiong was unaware of Zhou Yifeng's thoughts. Seeing Zhou Yifeng's hesitation, he assumed that Zhou Yifeng did not want to sign a contract with them and became somewhat anxious.
"Xiao Zhou, think about it again. Although Happy Twist doesn't have any famous works yet, we have President Chen. As long as President Chen is willing, what resources can't we get?"
"Once you join Happy Twist, your future is bright."
"Besides, I see you're still living on set, right? Our troupe provides room and board, the benefits are absolutely top-notch in the industry."
Lin Tianxiong spoke at length, trying to persuade Zhou Yifeng with these conditions.
"You couldn't find this kind of condition anywhere else, even if you carried a lantern."
Upon hearing Lin Tianxiong's words, Zhou Yifeng paused, feeling somewhat embarrassed to refuse.
"Well... I'll let you know after I've thought it over."
Hearing this, Lin Tianxiong sighed helplessly.
Just as he was about to say something, Director Feng called out again, "Get in position!"
Seeing this, Zhou Yifeng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said:
"Director Feng has called for us to take our positions, so I'm going over there now."
After saying that, without waiting for Lin Tianxiong's reply, he quickly slipped away.
Watching Zhou Yifeng's departing figure, Lin Tianxiong was somewhat puzzled.
Why is this guy so stubborn?
Regardless of the circumstances, this is a real talent. If we can get this person under control, then we'll have accomplished what President Chen asked us to do.
On the other side, immediately after Lin Tianxiong hung up the phone, Zhu Xinxin called.
As soon as Chen Le answered the phone, a somewhat smug voice came through his ear.
"Mr. Chen, aren't I amazing?"
Hearing the voice beside him, Chen Le smiled.
Completely different from the haughty queen of Hong Kong I first met, Zhu Xinxin now seems more like a girl I want to praise.
Chen Le knew that Zhu Xinxin was referring to the advertisement that had just been given.
It was precisely because of her appearance that the promotional video for Fantasy Westward Journey had such a high level of popularity, even crashing the servers!
While the popularity of A Chinese Odyssey itself also played a part, it would never have achieved such high popularity without Zhu Xinxin's participation.
Chen Le was well aware of this.
Chen Le was generous with his praise.
"Thanks."
Chen Le said casually.
Speaking of which, ever since I saw Zhu Xinxin at the Four Seasons Restaurant last night, I feel that her personality has completely changed.
The Zhu Xinxin of the past was the aloof and arrogant queen of Hong Kong.
The current Zhu Xinxin is more like a girl next door.
This contrast made Chen Le feel very strange.
"About last night..."
Just as Chen Le was about to start talking about what happened last night, he suddenly heard Zhu Xinxin's urgent voice.
There was even a hint of panic in his tone.
"Mr. Chen, what happened last night was an accident. You and your girlfriend, please don't misunderstand!"
Hearing the voice in his ear, Chen Le was immediately stunned.
What the hell?
Why are you acting like you've done something wrong while we're talking...?
Didn't you say we were just going to eat?
Moreover, the tone of this statement sounds like it's trying to cover something up.
Chen Le looked completely bewildered and said, somewhat puzzled:
"I'm not here to interrogate you..."
"But then again, she's not actually my girlfriend."
Not my girlfriend?!
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xinxin on the other end of the phone was stunned, and her eyes immediately lit up with light.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Xinxin felt a sudden surge of joy.
Not his girlfriend?
Then wouldn't I have...?
However, before Zhu Xinxin could even feel happy for a moment, Chen Le spoke again.
"Yes, actually it's my wife..."
Speaking of which, Chen Le already has a daughter.
However, Zhu Xinxin probably doesn't know that yet.
Zhu Xinxin was stunned when she heard this.
This is infuriating!
For a moment, Zhu Xinxin almost blurted out a curse. She didn't know what to say, her emotions fluctuating wildly like a rollercoaster.
After a long pause, Zhu Xinxin finally spoke slowly.
"Uh……"
"How about we talk about the movie instead..."
Zhu Xinxin silently swallowed back the words she had prepared, and said weakly.
Upon hearing Zhu Xinxin's words, Chen Le paused for a moment before speaking.
"Alright, then let me ask you, are you interested in signing a contract with me?"
Although Chen Le knew that Zhu Xinxin was a star in Hong Kong and unlikely to sign with his company in mainland China.
But overall, it's still necessary to ask.
After all, why not ask?
However, to Chen Le's surprise, Zhu Xinxin immediately responded to his words.
"Sign a contract? Do you have many more scripts you want me to film?"
"That's natural."
Chen Le answered without even thinking.
Chen Le will have to make at least three parts for the "A Chinese Odyssey" series alone.
Upon hearing Chen Le's words, there was a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Xinxin slowly began to speak.
"If your future works are all of the same quality as A Chinese Odyssey, then signing with your company is not out of the question."
Although Zhu Xinxin is now semi-retired from the entertainment industry.
However, if Chen Le can produce works of the same quality as "A Chinese Odyssey," then her return to the entertainment industry is not out of the question.
Putting everything else aside, Zhu Xinxin believes that A Chinese Odyssey will definitely become a hot IP in the future.
After all, this movie is top-notch in the industry in terms of both plot and other aspects.
Moreover, this is the first film in the Chen Le series.
If Chen Le's future works are all of this quality, then Zhu Xinxin feels that she can work with Chen Le until she retires.
Perhaps, it could even surpass all its previous achievements.
International Zhu?
That's no problem at all.
It could even go further!
Thinking about this, Zhu Xinxin felt a surge of excitement.
Hearing Zhu Xinxin's words, Chen Le's lips curled up slightly.
"Don't worry, after 'A Chinese Odyssey Part Two' is finished filming, I'll send you the script for 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes 2'."
"The signed contract will be sent to you at the same time."
As soon as Chen Le said this, Zhu Xinxin on the other end of the phone suddenly laughed.
"Mr. Chen is very confident. Are you so sure I'll be interested in you?"
Although the quality of A Chinese Odyssey is indeed good, it is, after all, only the first work in Chen Le's series.
It's important to understand that not every director can maintain a consistent level of quality.
As a veteran actress, Zhu Xinxin is naturally well aware of this.
In the entertainment industry, how many directors, after making one great film, are unable to make another great one?
Countless!
Therefore, Zhu Xinxin does not believe that Chen Le's later works will necessarily be better than A Chinese Odyssey.
However, Zhu Xinxin quite likes this kind of confidence.
Because only by having confidence in one's own work can one make a good film.
This is a conclusion drawn by Zhu Xinxin, a veteran actor.
Upon hearing Zhu Xinxin's words, Chen Le on the other end of the phone immediately replied confidently.
"Of course, I'm confident in that."
