Chapter 1701: Chapter 831: Head-On Confrontation (4,000 Words)

Zhou Yun has indeed a good relationship with Elizabeth.

However, she isn’t sure if Elizabeth would value her actor recommendations.

Every actor has their own standards when choosing partners to work with.

For an actor like Elizabeth, she basically needs to agree to her co-stars in any movie she leads.

We could say that she has significant influence.

That’s why Hugh Redman came to find Zhou Yun.

If a recommendation could be made in advance, Cos’s chances of landing the role are a bit higher.

Zhou Yun didn’t hesitate long before nodding and saying, "Hugh, I will recommend your girlfriend, but I am not sure if Elizabeth would choose her based on my recommendation, as I haven’t discussed such matters with her."

Hugh Redman showed a grateful smile.

"Your recommendation is more than enough."

After dinner with Hugh Redman, Zhou Yun returned to the hotel and happened to run into Song Chi coming back from outside.

"Hmm? Why are you alone coming back? Wasn’t Hugh Redman supposed to be with you?" asked Song Chi.

Zhou Yun said, "He went to the supermarket, wanted to buy some stuff, I came back first."

"What did he want from you?"

"How did you know he wanted something from me?"

"If nothing specific needed discussing, he would definitely have invited me too." Although Song Chi hadn’t been there long, he already understood Hugh Redman’s outgoing personality well.

Zhou Yun laughed and briefly explained to Song Chi.

"So it’s about his girlfriend." Song Chi said, "Cos is quite talented. Logically, with all the exposure from dating Hugh Redman, she should’ve been famous already, but it seems like the media in the United States doesn’t really favor her. Celebrities dating usually have paparazzi following them intensely, but not them."

Zhou Yun was surprised upon hearing this.

"Really?"

"Yes." Song Chi said, "But, this also has a lot to do with Hugh’s personality. It seems like he doesn’t like mentioning his girlfriend in front of everyone."

"Everyone has a different personality, he has his own thoughts." Zhou Yun thought of something and said, "But, we don’t know which role Cos wants to play nor what Elizabeth thinks about that role."

"Actually, you shouldn’t overthink this. Don’t your friends also recommend actors to you? Use suitable ones, and if they’re not suitable—even if recommended by friends—there’s nothing you can do." Song Chi said, "Don’t take this too seriously, it’s normal for everyone to recommend some friends to each other."

Zhou Yun: "Ugh, mainly it’s with Elizabeth... How should I say, everyone thinks I’m quite familiar with her, and she gives me the impression that we’re familiar too, but actually, I don’t feel our relationship is at that level. Before, when I recommended Xiao Jing to Gu Huaichun to help him land the role in ’Dark Sky’, I didn’t have this psychological burden at all. Truth be told, it’s because I feel my relationship with Elizabeth isn’t at that level yet."

Song Chi nodded, "Because you look at this entirely based on your relationship proximity with people. What I want to say is, even if actors aren’t that familiar, they will recommend each other for roles if they’re suitable, maybe Elizabeth is struggling with deciding whom to cast for that role and can’t find a suitable actor. Maybe your recommendation offers her a suitable choice. What I’m saying is the final decision doesn’t rest with you, and others won’t necessarily choose someone just because of your recommendation, you’re merely suggesting."

Zhou Yun thought over Song Chi’s words for a long time before finally mentioning this to Elizabeth. 𝖿𝖗ⅇℴ𝑚

As soon as Elizabeth heard Cos’s name, she immediately knew who Zhou Yun was talking about.

"Oh, I remember her." Elizabeth said, "She’s Hugh Redman’s girlfriend, right? I remember."

"Yes, Hugh is filming ’Killing Song’ with me, and he heard that I am quite familiar with you, so he wanted me to recommend her." Zhou Yun said, "I haven’t worked with Cos before, so I don’t know about her acting, but Song Chi made a movie later, the one he starred in with Sedar. He also included Cos, and I asked him about Cos and he said she is quite a capable actor, so I made this call."
