Lin Mu instantly collapsed, "Weren't you calling him Nanny Yu..."
"Haha, Nanny Yu is just his nickname," Zhou Xun explained, "He's actually called Yu Zheng, because he's quite deep into Qiong Yao Dramas and has directed several Qiong Yao drama shoots, so he's earned the elegant title of 'Nanny Yu'. Hmm, I'll invite him over for a meal later, and introduce you to him!"
"Hmm, alright!" Lin Mu agreed, "By the way, big star, who do you think we should invite to play the roles in this script?" Lin Mu asked.
Now that the script is settled, the next task is to find actors. "Since it's a Qiong Yao drama, I think we should choose established stars who have previously shone in Qiong Yao films, such as the current Xiaoyanzi, Zhao Wei, the immensely popular Fan Ruobing, top Hong Kong star Xie Tingfeng, and also the top domestic superstar Lu Yi! This way, we'll attract all the Qiong Yao fans across the country. With a huge fan base, it'll be hard for our drama not to hit big!" Zhou Xun suggested.
"Yes, not bad. You're an industry insider, you know better than I do. I'll listen to you, and whatever you say, I'll do!" Lin Mu nodded and said, "Right now, I'll first contact Nanny Yu and then find a way to bring Zhao Wei, Fan Ruobing, Xie Tingfeng, and Lu Yi over. Let them boost the popularity with the initial episodes and build the reputation. As for you, start as a supporting actor and by the later stories, I plan to let you play the leading role, fully establishing your name, and as per Master Ren's plan, we'll stop at nothing to make you famous!"
"Oh, President Lin, the more you say that, the more pressured I feel... Sigh, I'm truly scared that I might mess up!" Zhou Xun, after all, was just an ad star, and for the first time getting the lead in a Qiong Yao masterpiece, he indeed felt a bit insecure, almost feeling unreachable.
"Don't worry, I believe you will do fine. As long as people believe in themselves, they can do things well. Just like me, six months ago I came alone to Wancheng and worked as an inconspicuous little bodyguard at Su's Great Enterprise. Who would've thought that half a year later, I'd transform into the commanding president of Flying Dragon Group and become one of the three hegemonies in Wancheng! See, if I can do it, I believe you can too!" Lin Mu sent a reassuring look, reaching out to hold Zhou Xun's delicate hand.
"Hmm!" Zhou Xun, also gripping Lin Mu's hand firmly, gained confidence from Lin Mu's encouragement.
Lin Mu took out his phone and dialed a number, "Hello, Uncle Ren, can you contact the directors we talked about yesterday, Chen Kaige, Zhang Yimou? Hmm, by the way, Zhou Xun is quite interested in Director Yu now and wishes to collaborate with him, can you first get in touch with Director Yu?"
"You mean Yu Zheng?" Ren Yintao answered on the other end, "Ah, I'm very familiar with him. Anyway, he's currently idle at home, I can have him come to Flying Dragon Company to find you!"
"Sounds great!" Lin Mu was quite delighted, "In that case, let him come over now. Just as Xiaoxun and I are discussing this matter, it'll be perfect to discuss a long-term cooperation plan with the director!"
"Yes, okay, I'll arrange it for you now!"
Upon hearing that Director Yu would personally visit, Zhou Xun was so excited that his mouth hung open, not closing for a long time. Qiong Yao drama, the Six Dreams, was his childhood wish about to come true? What an exciting and happy moment!
Very soon, while Lin Mu and Zhou Xun were still discussing the structure of the Qiong Yao drama, a call came in from the company's receptionist, saying Director Yu Zheng had arrived.
Zhou Xun, with excitement in his heart, asked, "President Lin, can you guess what Director Yu Zheng looks like?"
"What does he look like? Isn't it just one nose and two eyes! Would he be handsomer than me?" Lin Mu retorted, feeling a sudden hostility towards Director Yu, who hasn't even appeared yet but was already stealing his limelight and idol status.
"Tsk, people call him Director Yu certainly because he's handsome beyond measure! I guess he's a suave, elegant, witty, and humorous quiet gentleman! Holding a pipe, extraordinariness personified!" Though Zhou Xun had never met Yu Zheng, actors generally show unconscious respect towards directors, which she didn't realize had overshadowed Lin Mu's presence, causing him slight discontent.
"Hmm, alright, as long as he can make you famous, I'll tolerate this quiet gentleman beside me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door, it was the receptionist who had just called,
"President Lin, Director Yu is here!"
Lin Mu quickly grabbed a pair of glasses and put them on, Zhou Xun teased, "President Lin, what are you doing? Trying to be cultured?"
Lin Mu's face sank, "Take a good look. These are reading glasses, magnifying glasses to see clearly just how handsome this quiet gentleman really is!"
After saying this, Lin Mu shouted towards the door, "Let Director Yu in!"
The door opened, and a charming receptionist lady led in a quiet... Oh no, to be precise, an oddly unique man. As soon as they walked in, Lin Mu's glasses shattered on the ground, and Zhou Xun's bright red lips opened wide. This person's appearance was just too unexpected!
What kind of peculiar guy is this! No, to be exact, the word 'sleazy' perfectly summarizes all the traits of this 'Nanny Yu' director!
What a sleazy flatbread face! A round head, thick lips, a bloated body, hefty ******* - apart from the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose which barely connect him to the title of director, in another setting, an uninformed crowd might assume this guy was a butcher!
Yet Lin Mu was satisfied. At least he's not a handsome man challenging his looks! One should know one mountain can't hold two tigers, and one place cannot accommodate two handsome men!
However, Lin Mu distinctly saw the deep disappointment written in Zhou Xun's beautiful big eyes!
Lin Mu still extended his hand, "Director Yu, it's a pleasure, a pleasure. This is the big star under President Ren, Zhou Xun. The purpose of inviting you here, I'm sure you understand, is firstly to shoot a Qiong Yao drama for the company, and secondly, our main goal is to make Miss Zhou Xun famous. We hope you can achieve this with your work!"
Director Nanny Yu, with his distinctive drake-like voice, chuckled, "Haha, President Lin, Miss Zhou, frankly, you've come to the right person. To be honest, I'm currently planning a Qiong Yao drama. The story framework is all set, but the cast and budget haven't been finalized yet!"
