Chapter 125: Having a boyfriend makes it even more appealing!

Jiang Cheng sat in the chair, and as soon as he heard what the director said, he knew there was more to it.

Is this still a competitive rhythm?

However, he thought this was also normal; making a movie always requires someone to put up money.

Those who put up money will definitely have multiple options.

So Jiang Cheng sat there silently, waiting for the director to continue.

Actually, he was still very interested in the cooperation proposed by Wang Qiangwei.

After all, he could write many movie scripts, but if he filmed them himself, it would be very troublesome, first of all due to funding—his personal funds are not enough now.

Even if his personal funds were sufficient, he would still need to bring in some channel partners to cooperate, which would save a lot of trouble for the film's later release.

Moreover, during filming, having a professional director like Wang Qiangwei would definitely be more substantial than if he filmed it himself.

Seeing Jiang Cheng silent, Wang Qiangwei asked, "Do you have confidence in your own script?"

Jiang Cheng said, "It doesn't matter; some will like it, some won't— that's normal."

Jiang Cheng was speaking the truth.

Wang Qiangwei not only glanced at Jiang Cheng but also looked over at Su Manyao sitting far away.

"When I went to your studio earlier, I saw a few girls; none of them were your girlfriend— where did you find your girlfriend?"

Jiang Cheng looked at Wang Qiangwei with a strange gaze.

What's with this guy, why is he suddenly asking about my girlfriend?

Then he calmly said, "She's my teacher!"

Wang Qiangwei silently gave a thumbs-up, "You damn well are a talent!"

What kind of person is Su Manyao? Wang Qiangwei knows very well.

She's prettier than the company's female stars, but she never appears in public.

She's sharp-witted; although she has an advantageous family background, at a young age she has already carved out her own territory in the entertainment circle.

This is not a simple person.

Even those female stars who seem to have limitless glamour outside are merely his tools for making money beneath him!

But such a woman, been snatched up by this kid in front of us?

He even brought her out to run around, while he stayed here to discuss things, directly tossing Su Manyao aside, and she still obediently stays!

Really damn strong!

…

On Su Manyao's side, she sat alone quietly in the chair, legs crossed, her bag placed on her lap pressing down her skirt.

Her aura makes those around her dare not approach, intentionally avoiding her; after all, standing beside her, speaking nicely would make one a green leaf, speaking harshly would make one appear as a person-like figure in comparison.

But although they dare not get close to Su Manyao, the men who are grilling barbecue for their wives occasionally glance her way.

They are advertisers and channel partners, having seen many female stars; they have also dabbled with some minor stars.

But compared to the woman before them, the women they have encountered are remembered as streetwalkers.

"Beautiful lady, why are you sitting here alone instead of going to the barbecue?"

Suddenly a man walked up to Su Manyao's side, pulled out a chair, sat down, and looked at Su Manyao as he spoke.

He is Zheng Le, a screenwriter and partner at Brave Warrior Media; today, invited by Wang Qiangwei, all the investors came here for a gathering, and he was asked to bring the script to have a look.

Wang Qiangwei's connections are broader than their company's, and he only produces big works.

So he brought over there the script he had been polishing for a long time. Just now he went over and met Wang Qiangwei, saying the investors hadn't arrived yet, so he came first to the barbecue area to look around.

But he never expected that after coming back from the restroom, he would actually see such a proper woman!

Moreover, this woman is sitting here alone, not looking like she has companions.

Such an appearance should be that of a little actor seeking a role.

But this little actor is just too beautiful.

Su Manyao glanced at him and said nothing.

Zheng Le said, "Beautiful lady, do you want to play a role in this drama?"

"If you want a role, you can tell me; I have cooperation with Director Wang Weiqiang, and he will film my script for the next movie. I think you, beautiful lady, have excellent appearance and temperament; if suitable, I can give you a role."

Su Manyao turned her face and calmly said, "Can you be a bit quieter? Don't be so noisy."

She didn't want to get up and change seats, nor did she want to call someone over to drive this person away.

Zheng Le paused, then instantly felt very embarrassed, saying, "Beautiful lady, do you not believe me? I'm telling you I haven't deceived you!"

At that moment, two men walked over from the side.

!

They are some advertising liaison persons, and they also know Zheng Le.

Before, their attention had always been on Su Manyao, but they were too embarrassed to come over.

Now seeing Zheng Le come over, they immediately seized the opportunity to also come over.

"Zong Zheng, why did you come today?" one of them took out a cigarette and offered one to Zheng Le.

Zheng Le turned his head, saw an acquaintance, and with a smile said, "Good, Manager Liu; I came today to discuss cooperation with Director Wang Qiangwei, bringing the script for the next film that he will shoot."

"Awesome, Zong Zheng; by the way, do you know this beautiful lady, Zong Zheng?" the other man praised Zheng Le, then immediately shifted the topic to Su Manyao.

Zheng Le looked toward Su Manyao and then said, "I said I would give this beautiful lady a role in the next drama; she doesn't believe me, Manager Liu, you tell her whether I can give her a role."

The man called Manager Liu immediately said, "Beautiful lady, Zong Zheng hasn't deceived you; he already had a work that became a small hit—if you can get a role in it, with your looks and temperament you'll surely become a big hit."

"Everyone lifts the bridal sedan," Manager Liu also gave Zheng Le face.

Zheng Le was flattered, instantly becoming more confident, "Beautiful lady, you hear, right?"

"I said I haven't deceived you; how about getting to know each other?"

Su Manyao thought for a moment, then said, "Are you here to discuss a script collaboration with Director Wang Qiangwei?"

Although Su Manyao doesn't handle projects, she is still very familiar with the company's operations.

Like Director Wang Weiqiang, who belongs to the company, when he wants to film a movie, he will first screen scripts himself.

After confirming the script, he will submit a project proposal to the company to apply for funding and resources, etc.

After company review, it could be approved, rejected, or negotiated, but for a director like Wang Qiangwei, his projects are rarely rejected; at most, they negotiate the allocation of resources.

Then Wang Qiangwei obtains initial investment from the company, and the director himself can also bring in external investment to acquire shares; this belongs to the director's ability and connections, and his personal operations make the company allow and strongly support it.

The man speaking with him right now is likely the screenwriter Wang Qiangwei chose for the script.

Zheng Le, upon hearing Su Manyao finally ask him something, immediately perked up and said:

"Of course, how could I deceive you?"

Su Manyao said, "But my boyfriend also brought a script over to discuss collaboration with Director Wang Qiangwei."

She has a boyfriend?

Fine, having a boyfriend makes it even better!
