Chapter 1757: Chapter 850: Scumbag (2)

"Of course, I really wanted to attend the media sneak preview before, but I had already promised another job and couldn’t back out, so I didn’t go," Cheng Shenlv said. "I saw the news online saying the first episode’s sneak preview received great feedback, I’m really looking forward to watching the full movie."

Zhou Yun said, "Your performance in it was excellent."

"Really?" Cheng Shenlv’s eyes lit up.

"Yes, really. I didn’t have many scenes with you on set, and I only saw your performance during the sneak preview. Compared with your role in ’Under the Grand Dress’, you’ve become much more mature."

"I mainly learned a lot from you," Cheng Shenlv said excitedly. "I’m so happy that Sister Xiao Yun praised my acting. Every time I act with you, I feel a lot of pressure, afraid that I won’t perform well and will let everyone down."

"Never think like that. As an actor, it’s okay to have performances that aren’t perfect, but you must have confidence, or else you’ll never act well. More importantly, your acting is very clean," Zhou Yun said. "I was quite astonished by some of your choices; you’ve improved very quickly."

"A Movie Queen is truly a Movie Queen, even when giving compliments,"

a woman’s coquettish voice chimed in.

Zhou Yun and Cheng Shenlv were both surprised and looked in the direction of the voice.

A woman dressed in a rose-red suit, meticulously styled to the last strand of hair, walked towards them in high heels, accompanied by a young woman in a black business suit who looked like a secretary.

"President Ning." Cheng Shenlv called out respectfully upon seeing the newcomer.

However, Zhou Yun did not recognize her.

She took a glance at the woman, smiled, and said, "Hello."

The woman in the rose-red suit extended her hand to Zhou Yun, saying, "I’m Ning Yu from Ningde Film and Television. It’s a pleasure to meet you; it’s nice to finally meet you in person."

Upon hearing the words "Ningde Film and Television" and "Ning Yu," Zhou Yun immediately understood.

"Hello, President Ning," Zhou Yun smiled and said, "I’ve heard a lot about you, and today I finally get to meet you."

She shook hands with Ning Yu.

They say you can tell a lot about a person through a handshake.

Zhou Yun didn’t know whether there was any truth to that.

But when Ning Yu shook her hand, she felt quite good about it.

Few women’s handshakes left such a strong impression as Ning Yu’s.

Ningde Film and Television is a film company established five years ago. Of course, it wasn’t entirely a new company; it used to be an old, well-established film company that Ningde Group acquired when it entered the film industry. Ning Yu, being the daughter of the chairman of Ningde Group, took charge of Ningde Film and Television. The company is famous in the industry for not lacking money. However, perhaps due to bad luck, it hasn’t been doing very well, and the projects it has launched haven’t made much of a splash.

Nevertheless, Ning Yu’s presence in the industry is still quite significant.

Not for any other reason but because of money; she often makes headlines for throwing money at actors and hiring big stars for films.

Zhou Yun also received an offer but turned it down, as Zhou Lan blocked it from reaching her.

Despite that, the resources held by Ning Yu are very attractive to Cheng Shenlv. Since ’Under the Grand Dress’ gained popularity, she has become a hot selection for casting directors of major studios. However, both she and her agent know she still lacks a genuine leading role masterpiece.

Everyone in the industry agrees that Ningde Film and Television will succeed sooner or later. Because Ning Yu is willing to spend money, and in this industry, as long as you keep investing wisely and gather the best creators, good projects will emerge. They just lack experience now; that’s the general assessment of Ningde Film and Television and Ning Yu.

Ning Yu said, "I heard before coming that I would meet you two today, I’m very pleased about it. If there are suitable projects in the future, we should work together, and payment won’t be an issue. We’ll certainly offer market price."

She immediately highlighted their greatest advantage.

Zhou Yun said, "Sounds good; if the project is suitable, I’d love the opportunity to collaborate."

The three of them headed to the lounge area.

Each of them had a private, individual lounge.

They hadn’t entered yet when Zhang Na appeared.

She hurried over energetically, and before she got close, her loud voice already reached them.

"So many beautiful ladies, did you all plan to come together?" Zhang Na said with a laugh, striding swiftly in her high heels, her young assistant in sneakers struggling to keep up. "My new assistant is so clueless, didn’t even let me know in advance that you were arriving, so I could be there to greet you."
