I make a thriller, it's God chasing and feeding

Chapter 44 [Free is always the most expensive]

Free is always the most expensive.

There is no free lunch in this world.

In heaven, the pie will not fall in vain.

Lu Zhengyi has heard too many similar words, and has actually experienced some similar incidents.

After the premiere data of "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" was announced, Zhang Xueming, who had not paid much attention to it before, took the initiative to contact him. He was not surprised or resisted.

We can earn money together.

However, when she offered to help her promote herself for free, Lu Zhengyi resisted a little.

"Mr. Zhang, I think we should find an opportunity to make an appointment to sit down and talk." He responded, "You and I should know that in business, these verbal business agreements are really fragile."

"In order to avoid unnecessary disputes in the future, I think we should settle this matter through a contract."

"I think a contract that both parties feel is reasonable is the greatest sincerity."

Lu Zhengyi's words are relatively direct.

But on the other end of the phone, after Zhang Xueming listened, the smile in his voice did not dissipate, "I never thought Director Lu would be so strict in business as well as in directing."

"I remember, after graduating from school, you seem to have no contact with the workplace, right?"

"Of course, don't get me wrong. After I took over the project from Director Liu, out of personal habit, I briefly learned about the past of the project initiator, and I didn't deliberately dig into your privacy."

No wonder she's so weird.

Judging from what I have learned, Lu Zhengyi belongs to that kind of person in school, which is relatively... childish and frivolous.

I don't like to study, I like to play around.

But the family has a little foundation, which is normal.

At least he doesn't drink or gamble, but he likes sports. He's still a clean rich second generation.

This is also the reason why she didn't answer Lu Zhengyi's accusations when they first met.

But judging from the actual contact, Zhang Xueming found that he was somewhat different from the image he had learned.

In the contact between contacts, the performance can be regarded as relaxed.

At work, he is even more sophisticated and rigorous.

Such as keeping work handover chat records, asking work emails, dealing with contract details... This kind of workplace skills that have not been tricked by superiors, subordinates, and customers a few times, it is difficult to remember and deal with them calmly. Lu Zhengyi, a young director who has been playing for a year or two after graduation and only started filming, has performed very well.

"Although I have never been in the workplace, I still have many classmates who have work experience, so from time to time, I will see them complaining, summarizing, and reviewing in Moments." Lu Zhengyi replied casually, "Is Mr. Zhang still in Beijing? If so, how about we meet tomorrow?"

He didn't talk too much about personal matters, and brought the topic back inadvertently.

"If Director Lu wants to have an interview, of course he can."

Zhang Xueming did not reject the proposal.

But then she continued:
"However, regarding my willingness to help you unconditionally, it's not my generosity, but rather repaying your favor."

"At the last wrap-up banquet, thanks to Director Lu's care, I set up a line with director Zhang Changmou, and gave our company a chance to meet the producer of "Slanting Moon", and qualified to compete for this project."

"And I personally got promoted because of this project, and now I am a department manager. I hope Director Lu can give me a chance to help. Thank you very much."

Lu Zhengyi paused.

Immediately, he congratulated, "Congratulations, Manager Zhang."

"Since that's the case, then I won't refuse."

"When will you be free tomorrow, I will go to your company to pick you up..."

After a brief appointment, he hung up the phone amiably.

'It really hit it off. '

Lu Zhengyi stood on the balcony, looking at the phone in his hand, a little surprised, "Look at this posture, it doesn't seem to be coming towards the movie." '

In his heart, he was thoughtful.

Light and Shadow Media is considered a half-family business, and many of its executives and shareholders are related to the Zhang family.

And Zhang Xueming, as the eldest daughter of the Zhang family, was promoted from project manager to department manager, which was not something to be happy about, it was taken for granted.

And the new play directed by Zhang Changmou only got a chance to compete.

In this case, Zhang Xueming took the initiative to contact him, not only giving such a big convenience, but also chatting so much, it was not about work, but about personal matters.

This is more like, directed at myself.

"Good thing."

Lu Zhengyi turned around and walked towards the house.

He was in a good mood.

It's coming for me, that means I have more intentions to cooperate, and it just so happens that I'm preparing for the next drama.

However, when Lu Zhengyi just got up the stairs and was about to tell Zhang Yu and the others the good news, he froze.

The joy on his face gradually faded and became indifferent.

In the living room not far away, Zhang Yu followed Chang Zhengwei and Yu Li, holding the script of "Curse", chatting about something.

And Zhang Yuming is in the kitchen, seems to be cutting fruit.

Everything looks normal.

If you ignore Chu Renmei standing next to Zhang Yuming, and the way they open their mouths to talk from time to time.

"I remember, in my absence, don't contact her privately."

With a sullen face, Lu Zhengyi approached slowly.

And at the moment he approached, both Zhang Yuming and Chu Renmei froze obviously.

In the distance, Zhang Yu and the others also noticed the situation here, and got up to follow.

"Lu, Director Lu."

Zhang Yuming replied with a sneer, "I'm just tired of chatting about the script and want to cut some fruit."

"Teacher Chu Renmei came to help, and she was kind, so I didn't refuse."

"Also, I think everyone came out of the same crew, there is no need..."

Before he finished speaking, Lu Zhengyi interrupted in a cold voice, "Did you forget that I warned you in the group chat?"

"Or, what I said was too tactful, and you didn't understand?"

"Are you really not afraid of death? Zhang Yuming."

He called by his full name.

This kid, Chu Renmei, a ghost with a scary face because of jumping off a building, is standing beside him, he is not afraid.

Instead, when he came over, he stuttered.

Really, as I thought before.

These people started to let down their guard after they came into contact with Chu Renmei, who seemed harmless to humans and animals.

Zhang Yuming glanced at the side, and Chu Renmei, who fell silent after Lu Zhengyi appeared, quickly replied: "I, I remember, I have carefully read all the game rules you posted."

Lu Zhengyi turned his head and glanced at Zhang Yu and the others who followed, "At the beginning, because I was on the WeChat group, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, I used a more tactful way."

Then, he stared at Zhang Yuming in front of him again, "But if you don't understand, you can come to me, and I can explain it to you seriously in private."

"Their existence is not as simple as you imagined."

"When I'm present, of course you don't have to be afraid, you can work with her, and you can talk about scripts together."

"But when I'm not around, you guys must never have any contact with Chu Renmei in private."

"Even if you're unlucky and you meet someone with a one-in-a-million chance in my absence, I hope you can pretend you can't see or hear, and then contact me right away, understand?"

His tone was extremely serious.

Coupled with the rather fierce facial features.

Zhang Yuming nodded obediently like a little chicken, "Understood, Director Lu."

"Now, forget everything she said to you just now."

While talking, Lu Zhengyi shifted his gaze to Chu Renmei who had been silent.
