With martial arts films on the decline, only Lin Youlun would spend a large sum of money to support Xu Ke in filming this "experimental" suspenseful martial arts film. However, Xu Ke couldn't just come to him directly. He needed a suitable reason.
And now, Christine Yang, who has attracted much attention in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant, happened to come into his sight.
"Isn't it a bit too risky for you to put all your bets on her? Otherwise, you should wait for the results to come out before making a decision?" Of course Shi Nanxuan can see Xu Ke's thoughts, but her views on this issue tend to be more conservative. .
Xu Ke also knew that it was risky to do so, but there was a reason why he had to do it.
¡°If we wait for the results to come out, maybe nothing will happen to us.¡± He said with a wry smile.
Shi Nanxuan also fell silent.
She knew that Xu Ke's worries were justified. If Yang Christine was really the new Miss Hong Kong that Lin Youlun was planning to support, with her high popularity and attention during the competition, she would have actually attracted the attention of many people. But everyone is still waiting and watching, and once the results come out, there will definitely be many people who have thoughts about her.
By then, facing many competitors, Xu¡¯s confidence in convincing Lin Youlun to invest in his film would immediately be reduced by 50% to 60%.
"How about this? I'll call Yu Zheng and get some information from her."
When Shi Nanxuan mentioned Yu Zheng, Xu Ke¡¯s eyes immediately lit up.
¡°That¡¯s a good idea, I¡¯ll get you the phone right now!¡±
Seeing how excited Xu Ke was, Shi Nanxuan immediately vaccinated him: "Don't have too much hope in this matter. Yu Zheng and I are just casual acquaintances, and she is now the president of Wireless. It all depends on your position and identity. She won't tell me much."
"It doesn't matter if it's useful or not. It's better than nothing!"
Xu Ke got up and helped Shi Nanshu get the Big Brother mobile phone. He watched helplessly as she dialed Yu Zheng's number.
When the phone rang, Yu Zheng was at the Miss Hong Kong finals, and Li Jiaxin was sitting next to Lin Youlun.
Feeling that there were several eyes looking at her from all around, Yu Zheng certainly couldn't answer the phone in front of so many people, so she quickly got up and walked to the entrance of the VIP area with her mobile phone.
When she arrived at the entrance of the passage, Yu Zheng answered the phone.
"Ms. Shi, why did you remember to call me at this time?"
Hearing the slight blame in Yu Zheng's tone, Shi Nanshen's tone on the other end of the phone was stagnant.
"Why. Isn't it convenient for Miss Yu to answer the phone now?"
"It was indeed inconvenient just now, but it's nothing now." Yu Zheng brought the topic to a close, and then asked Shi Nanxuan the purpose of making this call.
The noisy voice coming from the phone had already made Shi Nanxuan guess that Yu Zheng was at the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant. He was secretly happy, but he restrained himself well and did not let this emotion show out.
"Just now when I was watching the live broadcast of the Miss Hong Kong finals, I noticed a contestant. I felt that her appearance was quite good, so I wanted to ask Miss Yu about some information about her."
Yu Zheng frowned when she heard this. The Miss Hong Kong finals were not over yet, and Shi Nanshen seemed to be poaching. And it was brought up directly in front of her, the wireless president, which immediately made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"Ms. Shi. The detailed information about these sixteen contestants has been announced to the public when they participated in the preliminaries. I'm afraid I can't help you with what you want to know."
Seeing Yu Zheng's refusal so directly, Shi Nanshen knew that she might have misunderstood him, and quickly explained: "Miss Yu, don't get me wrong, I don't want to poach Wireless, I just want to find out what Wireless thinks about this competition." What is the attitude of the reporter, and then we can further contact you."
Hong Kong sister contestants who can be shortlisted for the top 16 will be favored by TVB as long as they have certain potential. Even if they don't win the championship in the end, they will be signed by TVB to be trained as artists. Shi Nanshen knows this very well, so he just talked about it Li and Yu Zheng made it clear.
"That's it" Yu Zheng paused for a moment. Since Shi Nanxuan had made it clear that she would act in accordance with TVB's rules, she couldn't continue to be cold and rejecting.
"I wonder which contestant Ms. Shi is interested in? I'll check if there is more relevant information here."
"No. 11 Yang Jingru!"
"Yang Jingru?" Yu Zheng couldn't help but tighten her hand on the phone a bit, and she was filled with doubts.
Why is it such a coincidence that Shi Nanshen is also interested in Yang Jingru?
Shi Nanchen seemed to notice the strange tone in Yu Zheng's tone for a moment, and then asked: "Miss Yu, what's wrong with me?"Does this person have an impression? "
Yu Zheng glanced at the stage in front of her and composed herself.
"Of course, this contestant has outstanding conditions in all aspects. We have been paying attention to her since the qualifying rounds."
"So no matter what her results are tonight, TVB will definitely sign her?"
Facing Shi Nanshu¡¯s question, Yu Zheng suddenly didn¡¯t know how to answer. She couldn¡¯t tell Shi Nanshu that Yang Christine was this year¡¯s unofficial Miss Hong Kong champion, right?
"I can't give Ms. Shi a clear answer to this yet, but I am very interested. Why is Ms. Shi interested in her?"
Yu Zheng asked this because she actually wanted to test whether Shi Nanshu knew the inside story about this matter, because she and Lin Youlun were the only two people on the wireless network who knew about Yang Jingru. If Shi Nanshen had heard some news, he If you make this call, the source of the news can only be Lin Youlun.
"It's like this. My husband is preparing for a new movie recently. He wants to cast a new actress for the heroine. It happened that he and I were watching the live broadcast of Miss Hong Kong today and found that Christine Yang has a very good appearance, so he asked me to ask TVB about this Side meaning."
Since Lin Youlun took over TVB, the contract restrictions for its artists have been relaxed a lot, allowing them to not only complete their work on TVB, but also take roles in movies according to their own circumstances. Because of this, Yu Zheng heard about this situation. It didn't feel very abrupt.
"Since Director Xu has such an idea, we can naturally provide some convenience if conditions permit, but all of this will have to wait until the results of tonight's final are known."
Yu Zheng¡¯s answer made Shi Nanxuan a little disappointed, but she still insisted on asking: "Then this Yang Jingru"
At this time, Yu Zheng was also hesitating whether to "remind" Shi Nanshe. Since the other party had noticed Yang Jingru, it would be easy to deduce some things after the results came out. After all, he couldn't hide it, so he might as well do it now. A smooth favor.
"Regarding the information about the participating beauties, a lot of news has been revealed in newspapers during this period. I don't have much to add here. However, there is news I can tell Ms. Shi. The Asian sister Yang Christine actually signed up for at the beginning was later eliminated. One of our wireless employees persuaded the Hong Kong girl and then changed her applicationOther than that, I really have nothing else to say."
Shi Nanchen slowly put down the phone, but his mind was still thinking about what Yu Zheng had just said.
"What do you think she meant by telling me this?"
Xu Ke also looked confused after hearing Shi Nanxuan's explanation. He thought about it for about three minutes before he thought of a possibility.
"I think the answer should fall on the Wireless employee who convinced Yang Christine. If this person's identity is important, then this Yang Christine may be the candidate that Wireless prepares to value."
Xu Ke¡¯s view was immediately recognized by Shi Nanshu.
"Yes, Yu Zheng will not tell me this for no reason, which means that this person's identity must be very important, but who can this person be?"
Shi Nanshu and Xu Ke looked at each other for a long time, and then a person suddenly appeared in their minds.
"Do you think this person is Mr. Lin?"
After Xu Ke said this guess, Shi Nanshu's expression became very strange.
"That's what I wanted to tell you."
"It doesn't matter so much, I'll call Mr. Lin now. It'll be too late!"
Just do it, Xu Ke then dialed Lin Youlun's phone number.
Not long after Yu Zheng returned to her seat, Li Jiaxin, who was sitting next to her, suddenly stood up and walked straight towards the exit.
Yu Zheng glanced over there curiously and found Lin Youlun's beautiful female assistant standing there. Li Jiaxin walked over and chatted with her in a low voice, then returned to her seat and whispered into Lin Youlun's ear. Two sentences.
After hearing this, Lin Youlun glanced at where Lin Zhiling was standing, said hello to Shao Yifu, then got up and walked over there.
However, Yu Zheng¡¯s eyes followed and saw Lin Youlun taking the Big Brother mobile phone from Lin Zhiling¡¯s hand, and the figure quickly disappeared at the entrance of the passage.
Lin Youlun walked through the entrance passage and stood in a secluded corner by the window. The two bodyguards not far away nodded to him, indicating that there was no one around, and then he answered the phone with confidence.
"Director Xu, why did you suddenly remember to call me?"
Xu Ke repeated what Shi Nanshu had just said to Yu Zheng in his own words. Lin Youlun frowned when he heard that he was interested in Yang Jingru.
Mainly because this incident was too coincidental, it was difficult for him not to doubt Xu Ke's motives.
"I have been imagining a new martial arts film recently. I took the time to watch the live broadcast today. I was really surprised when I saw No. 11 wearing a cheongsam on the stage, because she is so similar to the heroine I was imagining. It matched, so I couldn¡¯t help but call Mr. Lin.¡±
Xu Ke had already thought of his words, but he also knew that these words would be difficult to fool Lin Youlun. At best, they would only allow the other party to understand his intentions and leave him a more respectable step to step down.
"What a coincidence. Wang Jing also told me some time ago that he has taken a liking to Yang Christine and asked her to be the heroine of a new film in front of the media. Director Xu doesn't know about this?" (To be continued.)
