After exchanging pleasantries, the meeting officially began. It involved some filming plans, some itinerary arrangements, and so on. Other than that, there were also issues of advertising and sponsorship.
Chen Qingyun did not understand this aspect, so it sounded boring. He sized up Liu Zhenghua, who was in the room. This woman was behaving like a lady from a wealthy family. She really couldn't see the bold and open side of the film.
However, from time to time, she would throw a flirtatious look at Long Feng, revealing the charm in her bones. Otherwise, Chen Qingyun would have thought that this woman had turned over a new leaf.
Chen Qingyun nudged Zhai Lingwei from behind and asked softly,"Liu Zhenghua is also an artiste of your company?”
"No."
"Then why is she here?"
"I don't know either. I'll know in a while.”
Soon, the topic of conversation turned to Liu Zhenghua. It turned out that she was the second female lead. And this time, he was here to discuss this matter.
The second female lead? Why Liu Zhenghua? The answer was simple. Someone had sponsored five million yuan.
This was an unspoken rule in the film and television industry. It was normal. No matter how good one's acting skills were, no matter how high one's qualifications were, money was more useful.
This wasn't a big deal, but Crystal was unusually excited and was the first to raise an objection.
"I disagree!"
"Crystal, don't get too excited. Let me tell you slowly." Long Feng was still smiling at the crystal. He wasn't displeased by her sudden objection, as if he had already known that such a scene would happen.
Who knew that the crystal would not give Long Feng a chance to explain.
"CEO Long, you should know my principles when it comes to acting, so there's no room for negotiation on this matter. If I have to use her, I'll automatically withdraw.”
Only a big shot like Crystal would dare to do this. If it were any other actor, they would have been kicked out of the meeting room long ago. If you don't act, there will be others. But Crystal was different. She was the guarantee of the box office. What was the box office? Money? Would anyone be unhappy with money?
Chen Qingyun sat at the back and listened in a daze. He did not understand why Crystal had such a big reaction. Who was the second female lead did not have much to do with her, right?
He nudged Zhai Lingwei again. The latter had expected that Chen Qingyun would not understand and explained softly,"When Jingjing takes on a role, she not only reads the script, but also the person acting with her. You should know very well what Liu Zhenghua does. That's why she objected.”
Liu Zhenghua was a third-rate queen and had always been at the forefront of the third-rate movies. Her reputation in the entertainment industry was naturally not good. This was her first time shooting a proper movie. If she succeeded, it would be of great help to her acting career in the future. Shu Qi was a very good example.
Unfortunately, the main character she met was the crystal. It was simply a dream to use the east wind of the crystal to rise to power.
Chen Qingyun did not expect Crystal to have such a principle. It was not easy to maintain such a pure heart in such a complicated and chaotic entertainment industry. Chen Qingyun realized that there were still many things he admired about the crystal. As a person! It was only right to have some principles.
The atmosphere in the meeting room changed. Liu Zhenghua, who had been smiling, looked more and more upset. However, due to the presence of Long Feng and other people who could control her fate, she had been holding back her anger.
But later on, when she saw that she had no hope of playing the second female lead, she finally could not take it anymore.
"Crystal, what's there to be arrogant about? Aren't you just a little famous? Why are you targeting me!"
Crystal looked at Liu Zhenghua calmly and said,""I'm not targeting you. This is my principle. I'm just making a suggestion. In the end, it's up to CEO Long to decide.”
Liu Zhenghua had thought that he could anger the crystal and make it lose its composure, which could be considered as a 10% gain for himself. However, her slightly provocative words seemed to have hit cotton and bounced back.
"Crystal, why don't you reconsider? This is also a very important movie for you. Why don't I give you a Maserati Empress as a gift?”Long Feng asked with a smile.
Crystal was like an old monk in meditation, immune to all poisons. She smiled and said,"CEO Long, I've made things difficult for you. If I make you feel like you've lost something, I can get the five million sponsorship myself.”
A sponsorship of five million yuan might be very difficult for others. However, for the crystal, it was just a phone call. He could just call the manufacturer and they would be happy to get the money.
"Alright then! Let's put this matter aside for the time being. Let's talk about other things first.”
The meeting lasted for an hour. Everything was basically settled except for the second female lead. In the end, the meeting came to an end.
After the meeting ended, Chen Qingyun left the meeting room with the two women. However, Long Feng left Liu Zhenghua and his manager behind. He didn't know what to say.
When she returned to the office, Zhai Lingwei brewed three cups of coffee and handed them to Crystal and Chen Qingyun.
"Jingjing, why don't we forget about it this time? It's fine to let Liu Zhenghua play the second female lead. She won't affect you.”
Crystal took a sip of coffee and shook her head."Sister Lingwei, you know that this matter is non-negotiable.”
"Alright then! Be careful during this period of time. When I went out just now, I saw Liu Zhenghua looking at you with a very vicious gaze. Rumors had it that this woman was very petty, and it seemed that it was true.”
"What can she do to me?" Crystal smiled faintly. Don't worry, Sister Lingwei, I'll be careful."”
Chen Qingyun did not expect Zhai Lingwei to be so attentive. He had wanted to remind the crystal indirectly, but he did not expect her to bring it up first.
If the crystal was in danger, Chen Qingyun naturally could not ignore it. It seemed that being a husband was not easy!
After sitting for a while, the crystal was going back. She had originally planned to let Chen Qingyun learn some things from Zhai Lingwei in the company. Now, Zhai Lingwei did not allow Chen Qingyun to stay. She asked him to accompany Crystal back and even specially called two bodyguards.
As the saying went, enemies would not meet. When they arrived at the underground parking lot, they saw the angry Liu Zhenghua driving past Crystal.
The car stopped and the window rolled down. Liu Zhenghua stuck his head out and said angrily,""Now that you're satisfied, I can't act anymore. However, I will remember everything you have brought me today. One day, I will return it double.”
Crystal didn't take Liu Zhenghua's warning to heart at all. She didn't even lift her eyelids and said indifferently,""Before the matter comes to an end, you'd better think about why it ended up like this.”
"Hmph, what are you so arrogant about? Don't pretend to be virtuous in front of me. You're just a mistress who stole someone else's boyfriend!”
Crystal was a little confused. She asked coldly,"What do you mean?"
Before Crystal could react, Chen Qingyun understood that this woman was referring to Ran Tiantian! If she hadn't mentioned it, Chen Qingyun would have forgotten about it.
"Hmph, what do you mean? You know it very well!" Liu Zhenghua had a look of disdain on his face, as if he had seen through the evil thoughts of the crystal. At the same time, she glanced at Chen Qingyun, who was behind her.
