Chapter 9

The system saw Qi Zhao and Gu Ci's confident expressions after saying goodbye, and felt that something was wrong: [...You're not still thinking about the male protagonist of the dual-player strategy game, are you? 】

"How can that be possible?" Qi Zhao lied without blushing, "I was just having normal contact with him."

"As the heroine of a B game, I can't say a word to the hero when we meet like an enemy . Why don't you tell me?"

What Qi Zhao said was obviously not wrong at all, but the system always felt that something was strange.

[Okay, then you must remember not to be in the same boat! 】

"Don't worry." After Qi Zhao answered, he didn't know what he thought of and asked again, "But if I have normal contact with them like friends but their favorability increases, this can't be considered a violation of my rules, right?"

[Follow the regulations. Saying it doesn't count. 】

That's good.

Qi Zhao breathed a sigh of relief.

From friends of the opposite sex to lovers, it only takes a moment.

Qi Zhao came to the floor of the film and television department. After yesterday's adjustments, the employees of the film and television department were now able to work in an orderly manner.

"Director, this is a list of fresh graduates from major film schools. Some award-winning directors or actors who have appeared in film and television dramas have been marked."

Qi Zhao took the plan and smiled at him: "Thank you, thank you for your hard work. "

Qi Zhao just flipped through two pages of documents and asked his assistant unintentionally: "Did you reveal that you were from the Linchuan Group when collecting this list? "

"Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so quick. Just got this list." The assistant looked proud, "As soon as they heard that we were the film and television department of Linchuan Group, they sent the list over without any hesitation."

Qi Zhao raised his lips and said, "Okay. Sorry to bother you."

After the assistant left, Qi Zhao put the list on the table and didn't rush to read it again. The purpose of asking the employees of the film and television department to ask for this list was just to inform the outside world that the film and television department of Linchuan Group was about to start work. information.

According to her work experience in the previous world, the film and television industry was the most well-informed. Someone might have already planned to contact her before Manager Li contacted the media to release the news.

However, most of the people who can get the news now are well-known veterans in the circle who contact Linchuan Group just to attract investment.

They just want to use the big tree of Linchuan Group and spend the money of Linchuan Group to increase their reputation.

Those who volunteered at this point in time were the ones she needed to reject.

Sure enough, not long after the man left, the phone in Qi Zhao's office rang.

"Hello, who's there?"

"Is this Manager Qi? I'm the assistant to director Zhou Xianli. We were in a movie called "Crane" some time ago."

"It's me, what's the matter?"

Qi Zhao took over the film and television After doing some research, I knew that Director Zhou was a commercial director with many years of experience, but the quality of his films fluctuated, and the box office also fluctuated.

"Crane" is considered to be the best-grossing film among the films he has directed recently.

"Nothing, we just heard that Linchuan Group has opened a new film and television department. I wonder if Manager Qi is interested in investing in our director Zhou's next movie?"

After the man finished speaking, he was afraid that it would not be attractive, so he added, "Next We are planning to make a Lunar New Year movie, and the actors we intend to invite are all popular niche actors with their own traffic."

Qi Zhao said without any circumlocution or euphemism, and simply refused: "Sorry, our Linchuan Film and Television Department plans to develop it. Newcomers do not intend to invest in mature directors and actors. "

Gu Ci's final plan is to build a new brand. If you invest in famous directors and actors, no matter how good the quality of the final work is, not many people will care about the production team behind it. and investors.

The film and television department has to create its own stars to survive in the long run.

After Qi Zhao used Assistant Zhou Xianli as a medium to release the news that the Linchuan Group's film and television department would invest in new directors and actors, he did not answer any more calls.

After she unplugged the phone line in the office, she went to the publicity department to find Manager Li.

"Manager Qi, you came just in time. I was just thinking about finding you." After greetings, Manager Li got down to business. "I don't know how Manager Qi wants to write this media news and press release?"

Qi Zhao also started to be polite. He said: "I have only been working for a few years, and my experience is not as good as yours. You can just figure it out."

However, Qi Zhao did not forget to add the key point after he finished speaking: "You can check the specific content. As long as you reveal the Linchuan Group If you want to build your own brand, just use new actors and directors."

After Manager Li responded, he looked at the date on his phone: "Tomorrow is the weekend, which is when the traffic is the largest. The publicity department should be able to come up with the plan today. What do you think about letting the news out at noon tomorrow?"

Qi Zhao was not worried at all about the ability of the publicity department of such a large company as Linchuan Group, and replied with confidence: "Just do what you said, I believe in Manager Li. Ability."

After Qi Zhao and Manager Li decided on the publicity plan, they returned to the film and television department to prepare for the follow-up work.

But what Qi Zhao really didn't expect was that after receiving the news, the director and producers were like hyenas, fearing that the Linchuan Group's fat piece of meat would fly away.

After the phone number in Qi Zhao's office couldn't be reached, they called the front desk of Linchuan Group and the mobile phones of film and television employees. Some even called the Propaganda Department to make trouble.

Qi Zhao made everyone unify their speaking skills. No matter who is on the other side, no matter what request they make, there is only one reply:

We will publicly issue a detailed answer at noon tomorrow, and only those who meet the conditions will be accepted.

After a quiet morning, Qi Zhao's cell phone suddenly received a call.

Qi Zhao stared at a string of numbers without notes on his phone and frowned.

She only had the numbers of Qin Zhuo, Gu Ci, and Ye Zhiyuan in her mobile phone. How did they find out?

Qi Zhao answered the phone with a trace of doubt and curiosity, and a familiar female voice came out:

"Is this Miss Qi Zhaoqi? You ordered the home-made wine in our store yesterday. Do you think we can send it to you at a suitable time? ? "

Home-made wine? "

Qi Zhao then remembered that she had left her phone number and residential address when ordering wine yesterday.

She glanced at today's work schedule and replied: "Is five o'clock okay? I get off work at five o'clock."

"Okay, Miss Qi, we will send it to you at five o'clock."

Qi Zhao planned to recruit students together after the weekend . Resume, so I only have to do preparation work today. The workload is not heavy and there should be no problem in getting off work normally.

But unfortunately, Qi Zhao was suddenly told that Chu Yunting wanted to treat her to dinner half an hour before get off work.

"Chu Yunting?" Qi Zhao searched for the name in his mind, "The director who won the international award?"

Qi Zhao's assistant nodded: "Director, we have refused all other dinners according to your instructions, but We dare not ignore Chu Yunting's invitation."

"Chu Yunting is a national treasure director in our country. His artistic and commercial films are both well-received and popular. He has seniority and high status, and is also related to the film distribution bureau. If he refuses rashly, I'm afraid. It will be detrimental to us. "For

a director as big as Chu Yunting, if he wants to make a movie, wouldn't other companies have to rush to invest?

Why would he still find Linchuan Group?

Qi Zhao thought for a moment and then decided to go meet him first: "Okay, please send me the address."

When Qi Zhao got the address and prepared for the banquet, he called the home brewing company: "Hello, hello. I'm really sorry, I suddenly have something to do, can I send it over at seven o'clock?"

After the other party agreed, Qi Zhao began to concentrate on how to reject Chu Yunting.

Although Linchuan Group and his reputation can achieve a win-win outcome, once the opportunity to invest in a "famous director" is opened, it will be impossible to hold back even if it wants to.

After Qi Zhao arrived at the agreed place and saw Chu Yunting, both parties were a little shocked.

Chu Yunting was shocked by Qi Zhao's age, and Qi Zhao was shocked by Chu Yunting's character.

Chu Yunting was amiable, with a smile on her face. It looked like a neighbor's uncle was talking to her: "Oh, they said that the resolute Miss Qi turned out to be just a little girl."

Qi Zhao said politely Smiling, the words he spoke seemed to be explaining but actually showed his own attitude: "After all, Linchuan Group and the film and television department want to find some new personnel."

Chu Yunting reacted for two seconds before coming back to his senses and listened. He didn't feel the slightest displeasure after hearing Qi Zhao's words. Instead, he laughed and agreed: "We are all old, and the film and television industry really needs to find some young people."

Qi Zhao did not answer immediately after hearing Chu Yunting's words.

She was a little confused about Chu Yunting's purpose.

Isn't he here to attract investment from Linchuan Group?

Then why do you want to invite her to dinner at this time?

Chu Yunting seemed to have seen through Qi Zhao's thoughts and said, "I think Miss Qi is a sensible person, so I won't show off."

"I know that many colleagues must have approached Miss Qi in the past few days and want to come to the hospital ." Sichuan Group's investment. But the purpose of inviting Miss Qi to this meal is not to attract investment, but to introduce someone to Miss Qi."

Qi Zhao understood almost instantly: "Newcomer?"

"Miss Qi is really smart. "Chu Yunting nodded when he heard this and looked at Qi Zhao with some inexplicable appreciation. "I have a nephew who is studying directing in China. He should be about the same age as you."

Chu Yunting didn't know what he thought of and sighed . He sighed: "He is very talented, but he is a little reluctant to meet people in the industry. He also doesn't like flattery in the wine shop. There is a high probability that he will not be able to attract investment after graduation."

"I heard that Linchuan Group wants to I want to find new people, so I thought of introducing him to him." Qi Zhao was a little surprised when he heard

this. After thinking about it for a moment, he couldn't help but ask: "Isn't it more effective for you to say something in the industry than to introduce him to Linchuan Group?"

Yunting shook his head, feeling helpless: "His parents don't allow him to study directing, and they don't let me help him. So I can't support him publicly, so I can only help him in private."

Qi Zhao thought for a long time before speaking: "Okay. , I will help you keep an eye on it."

As long as Chu Yunting doesn't come to help him invest, everything will be fine.

He was just recommending a new director. If he was as talented as Chu Yunting said, Linchuan would have found a treasure. If you don't have talent, the film and television department can still catch up with Chu Yunting, the Taishan Beidou.

This deal in Linchuan is not a loss at all.

When Chu Yunting heard her promise, he smiled happily. After drinking with Qi Zhao for three times, he even asked his assistant to be Qi Zhao's driver.

When Qi Zhao got into the car, the time on his cell phone stopped at seven o'clock.

Fortunately, I can catch up...

...Shit!

The time on the phone passed little by little, but Qi Zhao's car was stuck on the road.

Zijiujiu called and said it had arrived downstairs, and Qi Zhao had just arrived at the traffic light.

"Miss Qi, it's almost eight o'clock and we're getting off work."

"I'm really sorry, I'm stuck in traffic. How about you carry the wine up first? I live on the seventeenth floor."

Qi Zhao answered the phone anxiously Although her heart was anxious and her mouth was dry, her car was very calm and motionless.

When Qi Zhao was only three traffic lights away from the community, the home brewing company called again: "Miss Qi, we have brought all the wine up. But you have to sign to confirm that our goods have been delivered."

Qi Zhao didn't want to After asking them to wait, he said, "Just sign it for me." "No, Miss Qi, we have regulations. Staff cannot sign. You or a family member or friend needs to sign for it to be valid." Qi Zhao looked at it

.

The road ahead was still blocked, so he breathed out: "Okay, I'll be home soon."

Qi Zhao looked at the time, it was just a quarter past eight o'clock.

Qi Zhao felt really guilty because she was stuck in traffic and affected others from getting off work. She opened the door and got out of the car, trying to find a route and run back directly.

Just as Qi Zhao was greeting the driver, there was another call from the self-brewing company.

She quickly picked up the phone: "Sorry, I'll be there soon."

Qi Zhao thought he was calling to urge her, but she heard him suddenly say:

"It's okay, Miss Qi, your neighbor has already signed it for you." "Excuse me."

Qi Zhao didn't react for a moment: "Neighbor?"

"Yes. He looks young, wearing a hat and a mask."
