Chapter 44: Deng Chao Shocked: Your Connections Are So Hard!

~8 min read 1,445 words

Zhou Jin was stunned for a moment.

Just then, a system prompt sounded in his ear.

【Ding! Luck Card effect ended.】

Zhou Jin widened his eyes suddenly.

"Holy shit, so the effect of the Luck Card was here!"

"This is too powerful; I've simply become Nicholas·Great Luck·Zhou Jin!"

Zhou Jin looked at Deng Chao and said hesitantly: "Super Brother, I might not be able to do it."

After Deng Chao said the idea, this thought became more and more firm.

"Your acting, Director Kong and Director Liang have already affirmed it very much; in terms of acting, you are already very qualified, as for the abstract aspect."

Deng Chao deliberately said with some loneliness: "Originally I felt your handsomeness was above mine, but my funny abstraction was above yours."

"But now it seems, your abstract comedy is also above mine," Deng Chao paused and said: "In this world, how could there be such a perfect person?"

After speaking, Deng Chao couldn't help but laugh.

Then, Zhou Jin started acting a few scenes according to the script.

Zhou Jin's funny talent instantly conquered everyone in the crew, and everyone laughed until their stomachs hurt.

Finally, Deng Chao decided that Zhou Jin would be the lead of *Breakup Master*.

In the evening.

Deng Chao insisted on pulling Zhou Jin to find a restaurant to drink.

After drinking a few glasses, Deng Chao, who was already a bit drunk, sighed.

"Sigh, the lead actress I originally set was Yang Mi to play Ye Xiaochun, and Nazha to play Xiao Zhuang."

"They are both very suitable for these two roles, it's just a pity..."

Sun Li, who didn't appear in the crew during the day, sat beside Deng Chao at this time and smiled, tearing down his stage: "You yourself aren't sure about the box office of this movie, it's normal for them not to look favorably on it."

They didn't look favorably on it, but Zhou Jin actually looked favorably on it.

Zhou Jin knew that the box office of *Breakup Master* in his previous life reached over 700 million.

If it were just a small supporting role before, Zhou Jin naturally wouldn't care about this kind of thing.

But now he is the lead of this movie.

Zhou Jin looked at Deng Chao and said tentatively: "If there's no schedule conflict, I'll try to invite them?"

Deng Chao obviously thought Zhou Jin was also drunk, and immediately laughed loudly: "I couldn't invite them, if you can invite them, I'll stand on my head and wash my hair at the movie press conference."

"Super Brother, has the contract for the actresses replacing Yang Mi and Nazha been signed?"

"Preparing to sign tomorrow morning, why, you really want to invite them?" Deng Chao saw Zhou Jin's serious attitude, and the alcohol was a bit sober now.

Who is Yang Mi?

This is the hottest Four Little Flower Dan at the moment.

And she has already rejected him, how could she be invited by Zhou Jin?

Bragging!

However, out of respect for Zhou Jin, Deng Chao didn't refuse immediately, just said: "Alright then, let's wait a few days before signing the contract with those actresses."

After eating and drinking,

Zhou Jin returned to the hotel and dialed Yang Mi's video call immediately.

"Why, what's the matter again?"

Yang Mi was wearing silk pajamas and yawned; she was just about to go to sleep.

Zhou Jin looked at the snow-white skin faintly visible under the somewhat loose pajamas without any scruples.

"Deng Chao invited me to join the *Breakup Master* crew."

Yang Mi was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Congratulations, just finished filming, and immediately joined a new crew; your schedule now is no worse than a first-tier actor."

"Sister Mi, why don't you consider the lead of *Breakup Master* again? Sister Mi, believe me, the box office will definitely sell well."

"Are you that sure?"

"Believe in my vision, and I am the lead of this movie."

Yang Mi widened her eyes instantly, and the sleepiness that was still a bit dissipated all disappeared at this moment.

"Really or fake, you didn't lie to me?"

"Sister Mi, is there any need for me to lie to you?"

Zhou Jin paused and said: "Sister Mi, didn't I promise you that I would never lie to you again in the future?"

"Alright then."

Yang Mi's *Swords of Legends* is about to air.

Although it hasn't been released yet, many people are very optimistic that this TV drama will explode.

So many crews want to borrow Yang Mi's heat.

Yang Mi

But since Zhou Jin had taken the initiative to speak to her, what else could she do?

Besides, it had been a while since they last met; although she didn't want to admit it out loud, she truly missed Zhou Jin a little in her heart.

And although she knew she was often stubborn, since she could allow Zhou Jin to be so presumptuous, she herself had actually almost been "handled" by him.

Zhou Jin called Nazha again, but unfortunately, it didn't go through.

The next day.

Early in the morning.

After Zhou Jin woke up and finished washing, he went to the set, found Deng Chao who was busy, and asked with a smile, "Super Brother, do you remember what I told you last night?"

Deng Chao paused for a moment, suddenly thought of something, and his eyes lit up.

"Could it be that Sister Mi agreed to play Ye Xiaochun?"

Zhou Jin nodded and said, "I just talked to her on the phone last night, and Sister Mi agreed!"

Upon hearing this, Deng Chao looked at Zhou Jin in shock; even after Yang Mi had refused, he had still managed to invite her.

Although if he had really used a large number of favors to invite Yang Mi, she would have agreed, but that would have been a bit too costly.

Yet Zhou Jin was a newcomer—where did he get the connections to persuade Yang Mi so easily!

"What about Nazha?" Deng Chao asked again.

"The call didn't go through," Zhou Jin said. "I'll go ask again."

Zhou Jin knew that the last time Nazha was at the hotel and had that call with Reba, it had almost exposed Nazha's identity as a "Love Master."

He figured that even if he invited her, she wouldn't agree.

Moreover, he had always known that Nazha had a rather laid-back personality and wasn't very career-driven.

Zhou Jin thought for a moment and didn't call Nazha again; instead, he called Reba and told her about the matter.

After hearing this, Reba thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "I remember Sister Mi refused this movie."

"She did refuse, but then I invited her again, and Sister Mi agreed to play the lead in this film."

Alarm bells suddenly rang in Reba's heart.

At this point, even if Nazha didn't want to, she had to persuade her good sister Nazha to agree.

Soon, Reba dialed Nazha's number and told her about the matter.

Nazha was just thinking about how to refuse,

when she unexpectedly heard her good sister Reba pouring out her grievances.

"I suspect Sister Mi also likes Zhou Jin, so I'm begging Nazha to help me keep an eye on him."

At this, Nazha, who had been a bit sleepy, was instantly wide awake.

Her eyes lit up; this was the kind of thing she liked best.

Thinking of Zhou Jin, Nazha gnashed her teeth.

"Zhou Jin, you made me look bad, I will definitely make you look bad too!"

So Nazha immediately made the decision: "Reba, tell Zhou Jin I agree."

"Okay, thank you, Nazha."

Reba hung up the phone in surprise and then told Zhou Jin the good news.

On the set.

"Nazha agreed too?"

When Deng Chao heard Zhou Jin's words, his face was full of shock.

The laid-back Nazha would refuse even if the company demanded she film.

He had already given up hope on her.

But he hadn't expected her to actually agree.

Thinking of this, Deng Chao couldn't help but let out a few curses.

"Holy crap, Zhou Jin, what exactly is your background?"

"Aren't you a newcomer? How are your connections so solid!"

Seeing Deng Chao's shocked expression, Zhou Jin was just about to speak when his phone rang.

It was a call from Nazha.

"Super Brother, let me take this call."

After apologizing, Zhou Jin answered the phone.

On the other end, Nazha said viciously, "My intuition tells me you and Yang Mi definitely have something going on. Zhou Jin, watch yourself, I'll be watching you on set the whole time!!!"
