Chapter 503

"Damn it, if every one of you starts acting all refined and stops being scumbags, how am I supposed to sell liquor?"

"Just for that line, from now on whenever Su Meng comes to our place, everything's on the house!"

……

Xinghai Entertainment.

Duan Jiangping scratched his head and asked, puzzled.

"Qin Jie, when did Su Meng learn to dance?"

"How come I didn't know about this?"

Qin Jie's face was full of that look of 'you useless lump of iron that can't be turned into steel.'

"What do you know? Tell me, what do you even know?"

"You didn't even know our Su Meng dances this well—what else could you possibly know?"

Duan Jiangping was nearly numb.

The way you talk, it's as if you knew all along.

Speaking of which, aren't you the one who's Su Meng's manager?

But fortunately, he'd been through countless battles and had long since forged an ironclad, impervious-to-blade-and-bullet skill set.

His expression shifted, and he suddenly said in a tender, affectionate tone.

"I only know that, on this day thirty-two years ago, we—who were still high school students—shared our first kiss."

"To commemorate this romantic moment, I sincerely invite my lord of a wife to dinner!"

"And then to dance an improper duet together."

"I wonder what my lord of a wife thinks of the idea?"

Qin Jie shot her a glance, and a sudden thread of tenderness crept into her eyes.

"Same old tricks~~~"

"I'll book a candlelight dinner right now!" Duan Jiangping was overjoyed at once.

He hurriedly pulled out his phone, ready to place the order.

Just then, the phone suddenly rang.

Picking up the phone, Duan Jiangping couldn't help but complain.

"Su Meng, what's up? You had to interrupt me at a time like this."

On the other end of the line, Su Meng chuckled.

"Boss, I just had an idea—I want to make a big movie."

"Same old rules—you're the producer, pull together a crew for me!"

Before Duan Jiangping could even speak, Qin Jie had already snatched the phone away.

"No problem! This one's mine to decide!"

After hanging up, Qin Jie kicked him without missing a beat.

"What are you standing there gawking for? Get out there and pull together a crew, now!"

"What time do you think it is, and you're still thinking about eating?"

"Would instant noodles kill you?"

"How did I end up stuck with a money-burning disaster like you!"

Duan Jiangping was on the verge of tears.

My lord of a wife, you've changed!

You weren't like this before!

……

"Su Meng, you're making a movie?!"

Boss Yang grabbed Su Meng by the arm, her face full of eager enthusiasm.

Not only her, but also those celebrity team leaders—over a dozen artists in total—all wore the same feverish look.

On screen, countless artists were already jumping up, frantically reaching out to Xinghai Entertainment.

It's Su Meng's movie!

Although Su Meng has only had one feature film, "Our Shining Days," released in theaters so far, and its box office was only a few hundred million at that.

But the thing is, before that movie hit theaters, it had already been released for free on Bilibili!

A movie people could watch for free still pulled in several hundred million at the box office—just how strong is Su Meng's box-office pull, really?

Anyone with half a brain could figure that out!

Not just those artists—even the theater chains were going crazy.

Last time with "Our Shining Days," they'd misjudged it and lost god knows how much money—how could they possibly make the same mistake again?

For a moment, both Duan Jiangping's and Qin Jie's phones were nearly blown up with calls!

……

"Yeah, didn't you hear everything?"

Su Meng nodded and said casually.

Boss Yang clung to his arm and acted coquettishly.

"Su Meng~~~ give me a role, won't you~~~"

That sugary, coquettish voice had god knows how many viewers melting on the spot.

Su Meng tugged at his arm, but it was wedged in the valley, and for the moment he couldn't pull it free.

"This movie is a bit special—you're still a little short."

His gaze swept around the room once, finally landing on Reba's face.

"Reba, do you have any availability lately?"

"Yes, yes!" Reba's eyes lit up, and she nodded frantically.

"Last time you told me to keep my schedule open, to act in that domineering-CEO drama, so I specifically cleared my schedule for it."

Su Meng chuckled and said.

"That domineering-CEO drama still needs some time to prepare."

"Let's use this gap to shoot a movie first, just for fun."

"You play the female lead."

The female lead? Reba was completely stunned, thoroughly knocked dizzy by this pie falling from the sky.

If it were just the female lead of some ordinary drama, she wouldn't have lost her composure like this.

But this was Su Meng's movie!

And being invited in a setting like this—what a huge advertising effect would that be?

This movie was absolutely going to be a hit before it even aired!

Su Meng's gaze turned again to Jin Chen and the others.

"Jin Chen, Song Qian, Cheng Xiao—do you guys have any availability lately…"

"Yes!" The three said in unison before he could finish.

They had to have availability!

Availability is like a woman's… well, squeeze a little and it appears!

Jin Chen even rushed to speak first.

"Director Su, don't worry, I'll definitely give a great performance."

"Even if it's a tiny role, I'll treat it seriously!"

Having been beaten to the punch again, Cheng Xiao and Song Qian were nearly numb to it.

Su Meng thought for a moment, then turned to Wang Wang Yibo and the others and said.

"You guys…"

"We have availability!" Wang Wang Yibo, Zhang Zhang Yixing, and Wang Wang Jiaer said in unison.

At this critical moment, anyone without availability would be a fool!

Su Meng chuckled and said.

"Don't agree so quickly."

"It's not an important role, mainly…"

"What are you saying, Director Su?!" Wang Wang Yibo said loudly.
