Rebirth of Hong Kong: Rising Era

Chapter 102 Gossip
"Youzai, Youzai, bring him to mom sometime!"

Early in the morning, Zhang Xueyou was woken up by his excited mother.

He yawned, rubbed his eyes and said, "Mom, what time is it? Why are you so excited?"

Zhang’s mother glanced at the time and said, “It’s 07:30.”

Zhang Xueyou glanced at Zhang's mother and said, "I'll sleep for another hour before calling me."

After saying that, he lay back on the bed.

"Hey, Youzai, don't sleep. Tell mom when you will feel better."

Zhang’s mother gossiped from the side again.

Zhang Xue, who had just laid down, was stunned for a moment. What was this all about? Then he turned around.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

"Aren't you in a relationship with Deng Lijun?" Mother Zhang said happily: "Mom likes her very much, you should know this, when will you bring her home for me to meet?"

Zhang Xueyou was really confused after hearing this!
They have only met twice in total. Where are they falling in love?

"Mom, don't listen to people's nonsense. I'm not familiar with her at all." Zhang Xueyou couldn't laugh or cry.

"Why are you not familiar with it? It was mentioned in the newspaper." Zhang's mother didn't believe it.

Zhang Xueyou heard what the newspaper said, and immediately sat up again.

"What newspaper?"

Zhang's mother handed Zhang Xueyou the two newspapers she bought when she went out to buy groceries in the morning.

Zhang Xueyou took it and looked at it. What caught his eye was "Teresa Teng's love affair exposed, but she didn't expect it to be 'him'". He then turned to another picture "Teresa Teng and Zhang Xueyou have secrets that they have to tell".

After reading the content, it’s really just the opening picture, and the story is all made up!
"Mom, these are all nonsense and lies. She and I are not even friends, at most we are just peers!"

After Zhang Xueyou finished speaking, he stood up and went to wash up.

He was also a little confused by this matter and needed to go to the company to ask.

When Zhang Xueyou came to the company, a large group of reporters had already gathered around the downstairs of the company.

Seeing him was like a shark seeing blood, pounced on him.

Zhang Xueyou had never seen this battle before, and he was at a loss for a moment. Fortunately, his elder brother helped to stop it, otherwise he would have been afraid that his clothes would be torn.

In the end, He Yumeng brought several security guards downstairs to help rescue him. Only then did he break through the siege and enter the building.

He Yumeng shouted to the reporters outside the gate: "Love is a private matter. Please stop asking and pay more attention to their works."

After saying that, he took Zhang Xueyou and his brother upstairs.

In the elevator, Zhang Xueyou said puzzledly: "Director He, you should know that I have nothing to do with her, why do you say that?"

"I know you have nothing, but her fame is of great use to you." He Yumeng replied.

Zhang Xueyou is not stupid. After hearing this and thinking about how he was there yesterday to encourage him to take a group photo, there is nothing unclear about it.

"Isn't it good to do that?"

"This is Mr. Chen's arrangement."

Zhang Xueyou didn't say anything after hearing the words!
……

In PolyGold's conference room, the management was having a morning meeting.

It's just that there's something wrong with the atmosphere, and they don't dare to speak.

General Manager Zheng Donghan was sitting in the main seat and looking around at everyone.

"I believe everyone has read the morning news, right?"

"I saw it."

"Have seen it!"

After Zheng Donghan heard this, he continued to ask: "Then how to solve it?"

"I have asked Li Jun to clarify with the reporter." The music director said.

When Zheng Donghan heard his answer, he shook his head and said: "The other party is obviously maliciously hyping it up. It's useless. Tomorrow there will be newspapers hyping up their love affair in order to sell more newspapers."

"I'll say hello to the newspapers later, spend some money, and condemn their despicable behavior." The music director replied again.

Zheng Donghan patted the table and said, "Why do you still want to condemn him?

What people want now is reputation. Do you think his reputation is not big enough? "

Zheng Donghan was speechless, he couldn't see such an obvious thing.

"Yes, I understand." The music director nodded quickly.

He also realized that he had indeed not considered what the most essential thing about this matter was to do.

"Please resolve this matter for me as soon as possible, and how long can Lijun continue to promote it?"

"She will return to the United States to continue her studies in four days."

"Okay, I understand, let's break up the meeting."

After Zheng Donghan finished speaking, he left the conference room.

……

This scandal is still very useful. In just a few hours, Xiangjiang and the two of them were already in the news, and basically everyone knew about it.

In a middle school, several students gathered together to discuss.

"Why can this Zhang Xueyou be with Lijun?"

"I don't know. I've never heard of this person. Could it be a lie?"

"I think it's possible. They didn't kiss, they just stood together and took a group photo."

"Yes, there seems to be no solid evidence, it's all speculation."

"I seem to have heard of Zhang Xueyou, and he seems to have sung the previous song 'Legend of the Hungry Wolf'."

"Really? I've heard this one too."

"This song was so popular at the time, who hasn't heard of it?"

"It seems so. How about we buy one and listen to it after school?"

"Okay, let's see how the singing goes first so that we can attack him. He actually dares to steal my goddess."

Discussing, discussing, more and more people are chatting, and the conversation is getting more lively.

It wasn't until the sound of class started that everyone ended the discussion.

This kind of discussion is happening in many places at the same time.

Suddenly, Zhang Xueyou's fame skyrocketed in Xiangjiang.

This was only followed by another record-breaking day for the album's sales.

He directly caught up with Zhang Guorong and Tan Yonglin, and they were evenly matched.

……

"Wu Sheng, welcome to Yaodong Pictures, please take a seat!"

Wang Yaodong warmly entertained Wu Yusen in his office.

"Sheng Wang, excuse me, has the script been written?" Wu Yusen asked impatiently after sitting down.

"Wu Sheng, don't be so anxious!" Wang Yaodong said with a smile.

"I can't help it. I can't help myself when I see a script I like." Wu Yusen replied with a smile.

Wang Yaodong shook his head and took out the script from the drawer of his desk.

After taking Wu Yusen, he made two more cups of coffee before sitting down on the sofa and pushing one cup to him.

"Thank you!" Wu Yusen thanked him and continued reading the script.

"Wang Sheng, who do you plan to cast in this script?" Wu Yusen asked after reading the script.

He is still self-aware. Most people who spend so much time and effort on making a movie must have something to say about the arrangement of actors.

"This movie has two male protagonists, and I want Di Long to play the role of the boss. Although he has done most martial arts films, I think this role is good," Wang Yaodong said.

"Di Long is indeed good. We know each other. I can go to him and ask him if he is willing to act." Wu Yusen agreed.

"Then we can ask Zhou Runfa for the other brother Ma, but I hope he can sign with our Yaodong Pictures first. I don't really like making wedding dresses for TVB."

Wang Yaodong had no objection to the first role and initially said he would be the second one.

He originally wanted to give the role of Xiao Ma to one of Liu Hua or Zhang Xueyou, but it always felt a bit inconsistent, so he finally hoped that Zhou Runfa would come.

Of course, the premise is that he can still be signed. After all, after this movie, he will be Fa Ge, and the box office is guaranteed.

Wu Yusen pondered for a moment and said, "This is a bit difficult to handle. Let's not talk about TVB. He is still known as a box office poison. Do we really want to find him?"

"Let's look for it. It's just because he is known as a box office poison, so it will be easier to sign him." Wang Yaodong said unequivocally.

Wang Yaodong also saw that he was in urgent need of getting rid of his box office reputation, so he felt that he had a chance.

"Since you think so, I'll have a chat with him when I go to Dilong later." Wu Yusen agreed and continued: "What about the others?"

"The villain boss will be played by my own Cheng Kui'an, the heroine will be played by Li Lizhen, and the last brother will be played by Zhang Xueyou. You can take care of the rest by yourself." Wang Yaodong said in one breath what he had planned out.

"Zhang Xueyou?" Wu Yusen asked in surprise: "Is he the one who is having an affair with Teresa Deng?"

Wang Yaodong smiled and nodded when he heard this.

"Is he also yours?" Wu Yusen asked suspiciously.

He just heard that Zhang Xueyou sang, and he also listened to his album, which was indeed pretty good.

But he really didn't know this about Wang Yaodong.

"Yes, he signed a record and movie contract with me, and his record company is called Yaodong Records." Wang Yaodong explained.

When Wu Yusen heard this, he thought it was indeed possible. It is indeed the fourth-ranked film company in Hong Kong.

"I understand, bring me the contract!" Wu Yusen said.

Wang Yaodong didn't waste any time and handed him the director's contract and confidentiality agreement.

Wu Yusen was also very familiar with this kind of contract, and signed it without any problems after browsing through it.

"My company now has a spare crew. You can start directly after you find the actors. I have already asked people to visit the filming location."

Wang Yaodong said after Wu Yusen signed the contract.

Wu Yusen nodded: "That's it for now, I'll go find someone at Wireless."

After saying that, without waiting for Wang Yaodong's answer, he hurriedly walked out the door.

……

Wu Yusen came to the TVB studio non-stop and asked around, only to find out that Ti Long was not filming and was not on the set.

There is no other choice but to find him at home.

Fortunately, I was at home, so the trip was not in vain.

"Yusen, come in and sit down. Why don't you come to my place when you have time?"

Dilong opened the door and saw that it was Wu Yusen who came, and said with a look of astonishment.

This must be the first time he has come to his home!

"Brother Long, I didn't disturb the world of you two!" Wu Yusen said with a smile when he came in and saw Di Long's wife there.

"No, we were just watching TV." Dilong said with a smile.

After the two sat down, Dilong took out another teacup, washed it, and made Yusen a cup of tea.

"Yusen, what's the matter with your sudden visit?" Dilong asked.

"I have a movie script here with two male protagonists. I want to invite you to act. When I went to the TVB studio, I asked someone and they said you weren't here, so I had to come to your house."

Wu Yusen was not polite and went directly to the topic.

"Looking for me to act in a movie?" Dilong said a little surprised.

Wu Yusen nodded.

"I'm not suitable for comedy!"

Dilong still knows that Wu Yusen has been shooting comedies all the time.

Doesn’t he match those styles?
"It's not a comedy. If it were a comedy, I wouldn't be able to find you!"

After Wu Yusen finished speaking, he took out the script and handed it to Dilong.

Dilong was stunned for a moment, then took the script and started reading it.

He only read it a few times and knew that he wanted to play the role of Brother Hao, but he still waited until he finished reading it before returning the script.

"This is indeed a good movie, and I really want to act in it. It's just my first time acting in this type of movie, and I'm afraid it will force you to step back!"

"It's okay. A few more shots will do the trick. This movie has sufficient funds." Wu Yusen said nonchalantly.

"Is Zou Sheng so generous now?" Di Long said a little surprised when he heard that the funds were sufficient.

Wu Yusen shook his head and said, "No, this movie was produced by Yaodong Pictures."

Dilong was even more confused after hearing this. Isn't he from Jiahe?
Why did you suddenly go to Yaodong Pictures to film?
Wu Yusen saw Dilong's confusion and explained: "Wang Sheng and Zou Sheng reached some agreement, and then I went over to help them make a movie."

Only when Dilong heard this did he realize that there was an exchange of interests.

"Okay, I agreed to star in this movie. Please take care of me then." Dilong agreed to the role.

"Okay, then you go to Yaodong Pictures with me to sign a contract. Your salary is [-], no problem, right?" Wu Yusen asked.

When Dilong's wife heard that it cost [-] yuan to make a movie, her eyes suddenly lit up.

You know, Dilong's salary is only a few thousand a month at most.

This fifty thousand is enough for Dilong to work for seven or eight months.

"Isn't that a bit much?" Dilong said in shock.

After hearing this, Wu Yusen smiled and said, "It's okay, I have money."

Wu Yusen has never fought such a wealthy battle.

This time I finally felt proud.

Di Long thought that he had just seen that the final budget of the script was 200 million. He said nothing more and nodded: "You sit down for a while and I will change clothes."

After Dilong finished speaking, he walked into the bedroom.

Not long after, he walked out wearing a formal suit.

When Wu Yusen saw him coming out, he also stood up and came out of the house together.

Downstairs at Dilong's house, Wu Yusen opened the car door and sat in with Dilong.

"There is another male protagonist who wants Zhou Runfa to play. Let's go and talk to him first." Wu Yusen said after inserting the car key.

Dilong was a little surprised to hear that this little Ma Ge was asked to play by Zhou Runfa.

Zhou Run found out that he still knew about the poison at the box office.

The two male leads of this movie are played by a has-been actor and a box-office poison. Will it really be liked by everyone?
Dilong couldn't help but have a few more questions in his heart!
But he didn't refuse. After all, he was just an actor and had no right to speak at all.

Wu Yusen saw that Ti Long had no objection, so he drove the car towards the filming location again.

Although his achievements in movies are not good, his popularity in TV series is still very high.

After all, Xu Wenqiang is really too powerful. If he wants to shake him, he may have to wait until the big time!
