Chapter 69 Hu Ge stars in "The Story of Minglan"
We have to seize this opportunity quickly! If we mess it up and Mozi Films cancels the project, we'll suffer a huge loss!
Hou Hongliang quickly added: "The male and female leads will have equal billing, and this project needs quite a few actors, so I'll give you one more supporting role."
When Cai Yinong saw that Hou Hongliang had relented, she decided to stop while she was ahead.
But she was genuinely curious about which investment company, possessing film resources, it was, and couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Hou, which investment company is it?"
Hou Hongliang didn't hide anything, after all, this was a plus: "Mozi Films".
Cai Yinong was so surprised that her mouth dropped open: "The production company behind the super popular 'The Beginning'?"
Hou Hongliang nodded: "That's right! Their family not only produces TV dramas, but their movie premieres tomorrow. You can go check it out if you have time."
Cai Yinong rolled her eyes and asked:
"Mr. Hou, are you going to the premiere?"
Hou Hongliang naturally had to go. After hearing Gong Yu's effusive praise of Han Ziming, he also wanted to see for himself, so he said, "Sure, you guys want to come too?"
Cai Yinong immediately chimed in, "What a coincidence, we're in Yanjing! We were originally planning for just the two of us—no, four of us including me. Mr. Hou, please reserve four seats for us!"
Hou Hongliang joked with a smile, "Let's wait until you've confirmed it before we talk, otherwise I'll be too embarrassed to ask for a seat."
Cai Yinong laughed too: "That's true! By the way, didn't Zhao Yingbao only have a cameo role, but she got the lead role?"
Hou Hongliang explained, "Pretty much. It was already decided when she signed on for 'The Beginning.' But she was already a top-tier actress in the television drama industry and a popular choice for the lead role."
Everyone acknowledges her abilities.
Cai Yinong complained again:
"Why isn't the platform in charge this time? Haven't the platforms been the ones arranging the actors all these years?"
Hou Hongliang paused:
"Kiwi made a fortune with 'The Beginning' and is very polite to Mozi Films! Moreover, although their company is not big, they cooperate with top film companies."
I guess Kiwifruit also wants to collaborate with them on a movie.
After reading the script, Brother Hu immediately declared, "President Hou, the script is good, I'll take it!"
Cai Yinong was finally relieved, fearing something might go wrong while Hu Ge was abroad, and quickly said, "President Hou, please send over the contract!"
Hou Hongliang grinned from ear to ear when he heard that things had gone well: "Great! You definitely won't regret it, the male lead's character is pretty good."
Cai Yinong hasn't even read the script; she just wants Hu Ge to stay. Right now, she's more concerned about the investors.
During our chat, she checked Mozi Film and Television and found that Zhang Ruonan had reached the peak of many actors' careers right from his debut.
Brother Hu was also curious: "President Hou, is the boss of Mozi Films really that young and talented?"
Hou Hongliang said:
"He is indeed young. I haven't had much interaction with him, but we've chatted via video. Anyway, Mr. Gong from Kiwi Fruit had a good attitude towards him. Okay, the deal is done. I'll send you the electronic contract."
The project will announce the approval of "The Story of Minglan" at the celebration party for "The Beginning" to generate buzz. You all know what's going on. Just focus on reading the script.
Cai Yinong and Brother Hu said in unison, "Okay, you go ahead and get busy!"
After hanging up the phone, Hou Hongliang told Han Ziming, Gong Yu, and Li Feng in the group that Brother Hu had accepted the role in "The Story of Minglan," and also asked Li Feng to reserve four seats for the premiere at Tangren.
Han Ziming sent a thumbs-up emoji.
Li Feng replied, "All arranged."
In the hotel, Cai Yinong was gossiping with Brother Hu while holding the Mozi film and television materials she had just collected.
"This young man is really talented; he became a hit with his very first drama! Do you know what people in the industry are saying about him?"
Brother Hu took the phone and asked while swiping.
"How so?"
Cai Yinong said with admiration, "What a lucky charm! The female lead didn't accept the endorsement, but Li County made a fortune! Now everyone is waiting to see their movie released, but many people are also waiting to see them make a fool of themselves."
The movie hasn't been released yet.
They have invested in several new films.
Xu Zheng was cast for the second part.
The screenwriter is Third Master's daughter.
People in the industry are scrambling to make connections.
The key is that he's not even 20 years old, handsome, and I heard he's not a rich kid—he's totally a novel protagonist!
Brother Hu frowned: "Sister K, he's so young, he must have connections, right?"
Cai Yinong rolled her eyes at him:
"Weren't you young when you acted in 'Chinese Paladin 1'? In today's society, age is no longer a problem! I've already invited Nazha and Chen Yao to the premiere tomorrow."
Brother Hu quickly stopped him.
"Sister K, isn't that a bit unnecessary?"
Cai Yinong retorted: "How is it unnecessary? Zhao Yingbao only had a cameo role and she still got the lead role. Their company has an exceptionally strong ability to create stars."
Look at Zhang Ruonan, he's almost become a second-tier actor after "The Beginning" aired. Their company has few artists, and their new movie only has one male supporting role.
If I could get in through connections, it would be a guaranteed win!
He handed the information about "Take My Brother Away" to Brother Hu. When Brother Hu saw that the partners were three major film giants: China Film Group, Fiber Optics, and Wanda Films, he fell silent.

Evening, Beijing Yanjing International Airport.
Han Ziming's driver, Lao Wu, was waiting in the parking lot early. After the three girls got into the car, Lao Wu asked, "Should I take President Zhao and Sister Hong home first?"
Zhao Siyao nodded.
"Okay, thank you for your help, Lao Wu."
Xiao Hong looked completely bewildered.
"Sister Hong? Are you calling me?"
Am I that senior?
Zhang Ruonan looked at her with an expression of watching the show.
Xiao Hong was extremely embarrassed: "Brother Wu, I'm just a little assistant, you can just call me Xiao Hong."
Old Wu said seriously, "No way! You're a company veteran, and you even worked as the boss's assistant. Shouldn't you call me 'sister'?"
Zhao Siyao and Zhang Ruonan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Sister Hong!"
Little Red huffed, "Stop it! I'll just call you Little Red!"
Old Wu suppressed a laugh: "Okay, Sister Xiao Hong!"
