Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 474 Second Invitation
Zhou Dongsheng had just finished a happy meal and paid the bill when he received a message from Principal Wang.
"Where are you? A distinguished guest has come to the Magic City and specifically wants to see you. Will you come?"
Zhou Dongsheng was confused. A distinguished guest? He even specifically asked to see him. This aroused Zhou Dongsheng's curiosity.
"Okay, Liu and I are together. I just took the players of IM team to have a meal and got them familiar with each other. I have to thank Principal Wang for his kindness." Zhou Dongsheng greeted casually.
"You kid, don't act like a good kid after getting the advantage. Come here quickly!" Principal Wang scolded with a smile. He was just willing to accept the defeat.
In addition, he also wanted to reorganize the IG team, so he just went with the flow.
In fact, the same was true of the original IG team. After experiencing the disastrous defeat in S5, they continued to reorganize and try and error. General Sturgeon retreated into the jungle, the bottom lane players were constantly replaced, and even Song Yi Jin made a brief cameo appearance.
As a result, the veteran IG team missed the world championship for two consecutive years, and finally figured out the invincible trident lineup...
Unexpectedly, Zhou Dongsheng stole everything as soon as he arrived.
"Coming , coming. I'll take Liu with me." Zhou Dongsheng went back to the box and called Saozhu, and asked the coach to take the players back to the base.
The two of them went straight to the address given by Principal Wang and soon arrived at a quiet villa area where a private club was located.
Zhou Dongsheng had been here with Principal Wang before, so he walked in with Liu very familiarly. As soon as they entered the hall, they saw a dark and tough face, which Zhou Dongsheng was very familiar with.
Principal Wang had sharp eyes and spotted Zhou Dongsheng right away. He said with a smile, "Our popular young hunk is finally here."
Wu Jing turned around with a smile on his face, "Dongsheng, you're finally here. Oh no, should I call you Mr. Zhou now? After all, you've been in the limelight recently."
As soon as they entered the room, the two men teased Zhou Dongsheng repeatedly, which made Zhou Dongsheng feel overwhelmed. He put his hands together and said, "Don't tease me, my two elder brothers. I thought you were here to reminisce about the past, but you set up a Hongmen Banquet for me."
"Look, Brother Jing, I said this kid was getting too arrogant . He even dared to compare himself to Liu Bang and thought we were Xiang Yu..." Principal Wang continued to tease.
"Okay, whatever you say is wrong. I finally understand. You are blaming me for stealing your limelight as the national husband and you are here to hold me accountable..." Zhou Dongsheng retorted.
Joking aside, they were all joking. After smiling at each other, they took their seats one after another. Principal Wang even asked with concern, "How is Liu's preparation for surgery going?"
"I will have to be officially admitted to the hospital tomorrow, so I'll take advantage of this opportunity to get some fresh air today..." Liu said truthfully.
"It's okay. We've contacted an expert in this field for you. Just think of it as a liposuction surgery." Although Principal Wang is considerate, his skill in comforting people is obviously not very good.
On the other side, looking at Wu Jing whom he hadn't seen for a long time, he couldn't help but feel moved and asked with interest: "Brother Jing, how come you have time to come to Shanghai? Have you started preparing for the new movie? I have always kept my funds for Brother Jing."
Wu Jing was immediately excited. "I came to Shanghai for this matter. It's the New Year now. I want to take advantage of the new year and put the preparation of the new movie on the agenda."
"Look, the first person I thought of was you, Dongsheng. You are the most active one in urging me..." Wu Jing couldn't help but smile.
Compared to the dilemma of filming "Wolf Warrior", which required mortgaging real estate to secure a future, preparing for "Wolf Warrior 2" is undoubtedly much easier.
Relying on the fame of the previous work, there are many companies like Zhou Dongsheng who are actively willing to invest in the second part. This makes Wu Jing very motivated and also more demanding of the sequel.
The screenwriter spent a long time polishing the script alone, and only after he was finally satisfied with it did he officially start planning for filming.
"Aren't I optimistic about Brother Jing? He will definitely become a leader of the new generation of directors in the future..." Zhou Dongsheng spoke without hesitation. The leader was true, but it was not limited to the word "director".
"Don't flatter me, I know my own worth." For someone who has been in the entertainment industry for 20 years, he is not likely to be fooled by Zhou Dongsheng.
Wu Jing's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled, put his arm around Zhou Dongsheng's shoulders and said enthusiastically: "When it comes to investment, I thought of you first, brother. Can you do me a favor?"
Zhou Dongsheng did not suspect anything. It just so happened that he also had something he needed Wu Jing's help with. He had kept it in mind before but had forgotten about it due to being busy. Now that they met, it was a good opportunity to talk about it.
So he patted his chest and said, "No problem, Brother Jing, just tell me. If I can do it, I will do it without hesitation."
If I agree to it first and help Wu Jing, it will be even harder to refuse my own request, right?
Both of them were thinking about their own plans. Wu Jing was the first to speak: "It's like this. In order to reserve an investment share for you, I rejected several companies, so I only have one small request..."
"I didn't want to force you to play the role of the rich second generation mentioned before, but after watching your short video, I feel that this role belongs to you..."
Wu Jing considered his tone and finally mentioned the matter again.
Principal Wang standing by had an amused look on his face, and it was obvious that he had known about this for a long time. After all, Wu Jing still wanted him to play this role.
Originally, Wu Jing's positioning of this rich second-generation character was indeed based on Principal Wang's template.
However, when Wu Jing was preparing for the movie, he accidentally saw the short video of Zhou Dongsheng that went viral on the Internet and was overjoyed.
In an instant, Wu Jing felt that this role of the rich second generation seemed to be tailor-made for Zhou Dongsheng.
The biggest reason why Principal Wang was considered in the beginning was because of his inherent topicality and popularity; his well-known identity as a rich second-generation was secondary.
However, after watching Zhou Dongsheng's short video, Wu Jing suddenly discovered that Zhou Dongsheng's positive image was even better than Principal Wang's.
Originally, Wu Jing considered finding a young and handsome guy to replace him, but Zhou Dongsheng is undoubtedly the best choice that strikes the right balance between "Principal Wang + young and handsome guy".
And judging from the topicality and popularity, Zhou Dongsheng's potential is no less impressive. If he can make a cameo appearance, it would add some excitement to the movie.
Seeing Zhou Dongsheng about to speak, Wu Jing quickly said, "Don't rush to refuse. All the guest scenes are shot at domestic film and television bases. The shooting period is not long and it won't delay you for too long..."
" Also, conservatively estimated, it will take half a year for the project to start. You should seriously consider this!"
"Whether you make a guest appearance or not, your investment share will not be reduced. This is something I promised you a long time ago, and I will not go back on my word." Wu Jing said sincerely.
Before this, Zhou Dongsheng did not want to be in the limelight. He refused the idea of being low-key and not showing off his wealth.
But this time, perhaps because he had broken his inner taboo after making a big splash, Zhou Dongsheng was really a little moved this time...
Since I'm already standing in the spotlight to gain reputation, I might as well do it all at once. If it was just an ordinary guest role, it would be fine, but for this role...
Am I also considered a 5 billion male supporting actor?
