Chapter 140 A New High-Level Announcement!
In the spacious office of a high-rise commercial building, Zheng Ran rested his head on one hand.
"Has she really given up on me?"
"You really don't care about me anymore?"
"Even when I'm with other people, even when I make things difficult for her, she remains unmoved?"
He simply couldn't understand why those cold, sharp eyes would reveal endless malice whenever they looked at him.
She wasn't like this before; when her eyes looked at him, they only revealed a deep and affectionate tenderness.
Even though he caused her to lose resources today, she only showed resentment, not disappointment in him.
He wished she would hate him, so that at least he would prove he had a place in her heart.
[Please note that the "script change" event is in progress. Please save your game here.]
The sudden system notification caught Su Qi off guard.
"At this point... should we change the script?"
A black Poly car pulled up in front of Su Qi, and several people got out.
Shen Yu put on sunglasses, closed the car door, her long red hair cascading down her chest, and swayed gracefully in her high heels.
Shen Chaohuai's collarbone was partially exposed. She wore a low-cut shirt, and wispy strands of hair fell around her ears, revealing diamond stud earrings on her earlobes.
Without saying a word, Shen Chaohuai grabbed Su Qi, who was sitting on the ground looking "disappointed," and said, "Come with me."
Without giving Su Qi a chance to question, Shen Yu pushed her into the car.
"Don't be sad. Shen Chaohuai has found you a new film crew. I'll take you to check it out." Shen Yu put on her sunglasses and pulled her coat tighter.
Su Qi then understood what the system-triggered event meant; it turned out that "changing the script" really meant directly changing the announcement.
"Who's sad?" Su Qi asked Shen Yu, puzzled.
"Weren't you just feeling sad? Sitting on the ground in this freezing weather, anyone who didn't know better would think you'd just broken up with your boyfriend," Shen Yu said, pouting.
Su Qi was dressed very lightly, and Shen Chaohuai took off his coat and handed it to Su Qi: "It's just a bad drama. If it gets overshadowed, it gets overshadowed. Why ruin your body?"
For some reason, Su Qi felt a stinging sensation in the tip of her nose, and her eyes felt like they had sand in them.
[Wow, the master is actually moved?]
Su Qi paused: "Who was moved?!"
She composed herself and deliberately raised her voice: "What resources are you planning to give me? Don't make me film another bad drama."
Shen Chaohuai sighed helplessly in the front row, thinking to himself that she definitely wouldn't refuse.
“Their production team approached me a long time ago, hoping I would play the male lead and you would play the female lead, which would also be a way to create a CP for marketing purposes.”
Su Qi remained expressionless after hearing this: "That's it? Are you trying to market yourself to me... You're smuggling in your own agenda?!"
Shen Yu covered her mouth with a smile: "At first, when I heard Shen Chaohuai say that, I also suspected that he was trying to smuggle in his own agenda."
Shen Chaohuai explained, "What do you mean by 'smuggling in personal agendas'? It was brought up by the crew. I thought about it carefully, and it makes sense. It's better than filming those other dramas, right? The pay is tens of millions."
Hearing that the pay was satisfactory, Su Qi's mood improved considerably: "Is the pay really that high?"
"That's roughly how it goes, but we'll have to see how it performs on the airing later."
"Oh, I see. The subsequent results depend entirely on our two marketing efforts?"
Shen Chaohuai coughed twice: "No need for much marketing, just the CP package and after-sales service will suffice."
They were also afraid that Su Qi would be unhappy. After all, Su Qi's expression had never been good when those CP groups appeared before. If it weren't for the fans' sake and the need to pay attention to her image and popularity, Su Qi would have banned fans from forming CP groups long ago.
Doing these things in this circle will make you seem deliberate, while not doing them will make you seem stingy. It's a real dilemma.
Su Qi leaned against the car window and sighed softly: "If only I could start my own company and film whatever I wanted, that would be so great."
Shen Yu rubbed his temples and said, "Stop dreaming. Even if you can start your own company, you can't just film whatever you want. To make money, you have to film what people like. Otherwise, you'll just lose money and amuse yourself."
"So what if I lose money? At least I'm happy."
Shen Yu shrugged and looked out the window: "We've arrived."
At first, Shen Yu didn't know how Shen Chaohuai had managed to get in touch with such a high-end production team. The filming equipment was the most innovative, the costumes were all high-end domestic designs, the most basic cosmetics were sponsored by brands, and the production team even hired internationally renowned makeup artists.
Shen Chaohuai greeted Su Qi, and the director was overjoyed to see that both of them had arrived. To everyone's surprise, Lasy showed up to support them.
"That's great. If Miss Su agrees, let's sign the contract directly."
Su Qi asked, "So, the lead role in this drama was tailor-made for me?"
The director slapped his thigh: "Originally, yes, but then we heard that you had a notice that you wouldn't be acting, so we almost had to hold a public audition."
"Public audition?"
Such a fair and open selection process is rare these days, so Su Qi was surprised.
Shen Chaohuai sat down next to Su Qi, a smile curving his thin pink lips: "Thanks to that kid Zheng Ran, I've gotten a free ride."
"Since you can't act in that movie, perfect, you can be my leading lady?"
Su Qi quickly picked up the contract, checked the payment, and signed it: "Transfer it to my agent's account."
Please note that the "script change" incident has ended.
[If you haven't missed this event, you can proceed to the next step: familiarize yourself with the script and act it out.]
This is how it's always done, so Su Qi wasn't too surprised. But Shen Chaohuai was puzzled: "Why are you transferring money to someone else's account?"
"Lynn is so good at dividing the money."
Anything related to film remuneration is put under Lynn's name because she has an unfair contract with Tianhai, and doing so can avoid giving Tianhai an exorbitant share of the profits.
"Director, please give me a script." Su Qi capped his pen with a click.
The director was very satisfied with Su Qi: "I knew it! Miss Su is the most dedicated and hardworking actress among the current batch of artists!"
With the matter resolved, Shen Yu finally felt relieved: "Shall I be going now?"
"Lasy has finally returned, won't you have a meal with everyone?" the director asked.
Shen Yu waved her hand: "No need for dinner. You know I'm not back to film a movie this time."
"I need to go back and finalize the custody agreement."
"A child support agreement?" Su Qi was taken aback.
"Yes, some grudges and grievances with the Shen family." Shen Yu's tone was casual.
Su Qi nodded and watched Shen Yu leave.
To some extent, both she and Shen Yu were victims of the Shen family.
Shen Chaohuai and Su Qi both disliked dinner parties, so the director specially canceled tonight's event. Everyone went home to rest, and work could begin tomorrow.
Shen Chaohuai sat in the front seat driving and gestured for Su Qi to sit in the passenger seat.
Even without him saying so, Su Qi would definitely sit in the passenger seat.
"You're quite unceremonious." Shen Chaohuai smiled casually as she sat down.
"By the way, aren't you going to let your agent know?"
Faced with the atmosphere of just the two of them, he deliberately slowed down, as if intentionally delaying their conversation, which made Su Qi feel a little uncomfortable.
She pulled up the coat draped over her shoulders to cover her bare arms, which had delicate, smooth skin that made him glance at her a few more times.
He parked the car on the side of the road, turned over to help her put on her coat, and buttoned it up.
She felt her heart beating a little fast and quickly turned her head away.
"Lynn has already bought her return ticket and will be on set tomorrow."
“Well, it’s good to have another person take care of you.” He restarted the car.
The two remained silent in the car until Su Qi realized that he had taken his coat home, even though he had known all along, he had tacitly allowed Su Qi to take it with him.
