章)Lu Rongdu approached Zhou Xiansheng with a purpose.
He calculated that Zhou Xiansheng would attend the companys annual meeting this year and give a year-end speech.
So Lu Rongdu approached several personal secretaries privately, invited them to dinner and travel. With his pretty good face, he approached the presidents personal secretary Lily.
Just to know Zhou Xianshengs preferences.
On the night of the annual meeting, many first- and second-tier artists gathered at Meres Hotel.
Lu Rongdu arrived a little late, but he was not panicked.
Zhou Xianshengs personal secretary Lily said that the boss has always disliked crowded occasions. He only arrived at gatherings and annual meetings when the speech was about to begin, and left after a few words with business partners.
There was still a lot of time, and Lu Rongdu didnt want to waste energy in that social scene.
So after getting off the car, he went straight to the open-air balcony of the venue.
While walking, he took out a pack of thin cigarettes from his trouser pocket, leaned against a round wall pillar and smoked slowly, looking at the swimming pool with an empty look in his eyes.
"Director Wang, can you tell me whether the new play you wrote last time will be a success~~"
A female voice sounded not far from Lu Rongdu, with a soft and sweet tone.
"Hahaha, dont worry, you will have a lot of roles. I have talked to the producer. Lets meet next time when we have dinner together."
Lu Rongdu rolled his eyes when he heard this conversation. He had heard of Director Wang.
His real name is Wang Loubi. He is a director who graduated from a low-ranking school and has no talent.
His advantage is that his bottom line is low enough, and he will shoot any bad drama.
Many company bosses who need to do accounting will invest in his movies, and more newcomers who want to become famous quickly will take the initiative to contact him.
"Director Wang~ I also want a male lead~~" Lu Rongdu imitated the girls artificial posture, using a more delicate tone, and his expression was 100% restored.
After saying that, Lu Rongdu laughed self-deprecatingly, "You have such a low taste."
"What taste?" A deep voice came from the side, and Lu Rongdu turned his head to look at the source of the sound.
Is it Zhou Xiansheng?
Lu Rongdu was a little flustered. How could he meet him here? How could he use his perfect appearance and aloof personality?
Did he just... watch the whole thing?
What should I do? Should I pretend to know him or be an actor who doesnt know the companys facade?
Lu Rongdu took a deep breath, suppressed his panic, and tried to say in a decent and generous tone, "President Zhou, please forgive me."
Then he secretly pressed the half-remaining cigarette butt against the wall pillar and threw it to his heel to step on it.
Zhou Xiansheng slowly walked out of the shadows, wearing a striped suit with a silk black shirt underneath. He was taller than Lu Rongdu, and his proportions were very pleasing to the eye.
"Congratulations, new movie king." Zhou Xiansheng walked up to Lu Rongdu and stood still, extending his hand to congratulate him.
Although it was a congratulatory speech, there was no joy in his words, it was formulaic and bland, even a little disdainful.
Lu Rongdu knew that his identity was just a tool for capital conversion and realization in front of these financial sponsors. They didnt care about their acting skills and their own abilities, but only cared about the box office revenue and advertising revenue they could bring.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou." Lu Rongdu seemed well-behaved and docile.
"You dont like Wang Loubi?" Zhou Xiansheng returned to the previous topic and asked Lu Rongdu.
Lu Rongdu hesitated. He didnt know whether Zhou Xiansheng had a deal with Wang Loubi, nor did he know whether the actress had hooked up with Zhou Xianshengs golden branch.
He was silent for a while, looked up and asked, "Mr. Zhou can see clearly, why make fun of me, a wage earner?"
