In Huayu, the career reward is spy

Chapter 104: Too Many Beauties to See
"Your washing machine is broken. Do you want me to call someone to fix it? Also, the faucet in the bathroom is a little bit unbonded and leaking."

In the small kitchen, Ji Yu was cooking noodles while talking on the phone with Lao Cai.

The small casserole was bubbling, and the dehydrated vegetables became much richer in color after being blanched.

Ji Yu accidentally pricked the fried egg under the pancake with chopsticks, and the thick egg custard immediately flowed out.

Oh. This bowl of noodles is perfect. Ji Yu quickly turned off the fire and couldn't help but sucking on his chopsticks.

Old Cai on the other end of the phone didn't say anything, just listened to Ji Yu's busy movements.

When I heard him slurping noodles, I couldn't help but ask, "Where did you get the noodles?"

"Slurp. Ha. In the kitchen cabinet." Ji Yu said while eating noodles.

"The noodles should have expired for half a year."

Ji Yu's movement while eating noodles froze.

"But it's okay. Just don't eat the sausage. It should have been expired for a year."

Ji Yu was silent, looking at the half-eaten intestine for a long time without saying a word.

Old Cai could imagine the wonderful expression on Ji Yu's face at this moment.

Ha, cool!
Old Cai was just feeling proud when he heard the sound of Ji Yu slurping noodles from the other end of the phone again.

"Sister, I've even eaten moldy noodles."

Ji Yu’s nonchalant tone made Lao Cai’s expression freeze, and he couldn’t help but curse in his heart, “I deserve to die!”
Ji Yu said while eating noodles, "Sister, how is the matter I asked you to find out for me going?"

"I've contacted Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui. They'll be at the Peninsula Hotel's coffee shop at 2pm tomorrow."

"OK, I'll eat first."

Lao Cai hummed and said quickly, "Don't eat expired noodles. Ask my assistant to buy some for you."

"Got it." Ji Yu said, hung up the phone and continued to eat noodles.

Old Cai, who was far away in Shanghai, rubbed his temples and thought that Ji Yu was very bold. The Wesley TV series hadn't even been filmed yet, but he was already thinking about making a movie version.

He wants to ask Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui to make a comic-book movie based on Wesley.

Lao Cai supports it. After all, Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui have adapted many comic book movies, all of which were very successful.

Feng Yun, Young and Dangerous, Chinese Hero, etc. are all their works.

She also thinks that the Wesley IP can be well developed.

It’s not a bad idea to contact Liu Weiqiang, Mai and Zhao Hui first. Both discussing cooperation and writing the script take time.

However, what Lao Cai didn’t know was that Ji Yu’s main target was not Wesley, but Infernal Affairs!
Even if Wesley wants to make a movie, he will have to wait until the TV series is successful.

Of course, he couldn't tell Lao Cai about the Infernal Affairs. How could he talk about something that had no basis in reality?

You will be considered a mental patient!

After eating the noodles, Ji Yu began to recall the plot of Infernal Affairs.

It will be useful when I meet Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui tomorrow.

Ji Yu has watched all three Infernal Affairs movies many times.

Even if his memory had not been systematically strengthened, he could still remember the script clearly.

Infernal Affairs Part 1 and Part 2 are great, but the third one is just so-so.

But it's already amazing that a series can be shot at this level.

In the film and television industry, there are very few series that can maintain both quality and quantity.

Not all movies can become classics like The Godfather.

Late at night, Ji Yu wrote out the entire outline of Infernal Affairs, read it for a while, and then tore it up.

I’m going to fool Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui tomorrow.

The next day, Ji Yu slept in and didn't wake up until one o'clock in the afternoon.

The assistant and makeup artist have come over and started dressing him up.

As a big star, when you go out to meet the director or in public, you naturally have to dress up nicely.

Paparazzi can also take better-looking photos.

It’s hard work to do makeup every day, but Ji Yu doesn’t mind it. Isn’t this the kind of hardship that people in this industry have to endure?

At 2:10, Ji Yu appeared in the coffee shop of the Peninsula Hotel.

There are many Hong Kong celebrities who come here to drink coffee.

As soon as Ji Yu came in, he attracted a lot of people's attention. He is the most popular person in Hong Kong these days.

Ji Yu found a seat and sat down quietly, waiting for Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui to come over.

More than ten minutes later, Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui came over.

The two looked Ji Yu up and down, then got straight to the point and said, "Do you want to make a Wesley movie version?"

Ji Yu nodded and said, "Yes, both directors are experts in comic-adapted movies, so I would like to ask them for advice."

He is really a master. Initial D was also shot by Liu Weiqiang, and it was very well shot!

With the beginning, the three of them sat together and started chatting.

We talked about comics and movies, from Feng Yun to Young and Dangerous to Wesley, and finally we talked about Dragon Tiger Gate.

However, under Ji Yu's deliberate control, the topic soon turned to police and gangster movies.

He took the initiative to say that he really liked watching the Face-Off directed by John Woo, which was a very cleverly designed and creative movie.

This sentence immediately aroused Mai Zhaohui's interest, and he took the initiative to talk to him about the movie Face Off.

Mai Zhaohui has always wanted to write a script since watching Face/Off. He has just finished the outline of the script and is currently discussing it with Zhuang Wenqiang and Liu Weiqiang.

Ji Yu naturally knew this, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned the movie Face/Off.

When talking about this, Ji Yu naturally took the initiative to show off.

"Hong Kong's previous police and gangster films rarely focused on marginal characters. Undercover is a very good subject, which has depth and is thrilling.

There are many spy novels in the mainland, and I like to read them. However, the undercover agents in Hong Kong are all police undercover gangsters, so why can't gangsters be undercover police? Two undercovers, different camps"

Before Ji Yu finished speaking, Mai Zhaohui couldn't help but say, "Do you think so too? I've also been writing a script recently, and my idea is very similar to yours."

Liu Weiqiang's eyes also lit up. He had just discussed this idea with Mai Zhaohui yesterday and had not yet revised the script.

I didn’t expect Ji Yu also thought of it!
Ji Yu looked at their shocked expressions, scratched his head and said, "All spy novels are like this, is it so strange?"

Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui: "Emm" It's not surprising to say this.

I just feel a little uncomfortable.

Ji Yu didn't care about their disappointment and continued talking about this topic.

How can I have the chance to participate in Infernal Affairs if I don’t talk about it?

Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui did not expect that Ji Yu could come up with so many interesting ideas and suggestions.

The three of them had a great time chatting for a while, and Mai Zhaohui felt that he could write the script when he got home in the evening.

At the end of the conversation, Ji Yu looked at them and said, "This is really a very good idea. If there is a chance to make it into a movie in the future, you can contact me if you need any help."

"Thank you. The script is not finished yet. I will definitely make it into a movie if there is a chance."

Ji Yu didn't forget about Wesley, and said with a smile: "There is also the matter of Wesley's comic book adaptation movie. If you two have any ideas, please help."

Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui's minds are now full of Infernal Affairs, so they have no time to care about Wesley.

But they originally came here today because of Wesley's matter, but by the end of the conversation, Cheng Jiyu helped them come up with a lot of creative ideas for Infernal Affairs, which made them feel a little embarrassed.

"We will consider Wesley's script. Thank you for your advice today."

"You're welcome. We're all friends."

Ji Yu glanced at the time and said, "It's getting late, let's have dinner together."

The role in Infernal Affairs is very important to Ji Yu. The classic and famous movie will help his career.

The role rewards are rich and have the skills he needs.

It only took an afternoon today, and it didn't cost Ji Yu much, it was all for free. If he gets along well with Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui, he might be able to play Initial D in the future.

Zhou Jielun is just acting as a racing expert, but Ji Yu is a real expert!
But that’s a thing for the future.

After Ji Yu had dinner with Liu Weiqiang and Mai Zhaohui in the evening, he called Lao Cai back.

Lao Cai answered the phone and asked, "How was the chat? It ended so late, it seems to be pretty good."

"It's OK, but they didn't agree to Wesley's movie. They just said they would consider it."

"That's good enough." Old Cai said with a smile, "It's not that simple. Let's build a good relationship first. It's fine as long as we can get in touch. There really aren't any directors in the mainland who are suitable for filming a subject like Wesley."

"Yeah, then I'll go back tomorrow."

"Okay, be careful when traveling and don't let the paparazzi take bad photos of you."

"What bad photos can I take home?"

Ji Yu hung up the phone speechlessly and lay on the bed wondering whether the Infernal Affairs plan could succeed.

I have tried my best, and the rest is up to fate.

It's not worth it if you spend too much effort and means.

Lying flat is still the most comfortable.

At this time, Lao Cai, who was far away in Shanghai, was still working overtime.

She looked at the cast list of Wesley's TV series in her hand, and then she remembered that she had forgotten to tell Ji Yu about this.

Young Wesley consists of four unit stories, and there are nine main characters throughout the four unit stories.

Yuan Zhenxia, Bai Su, Bai Qiwei, Zhu Xiangxiang and many more.

Supporting characters like Yuan Zhenxia are not very important and are just there to serve as foils for Wesley.

But female characters like Bai Su and Zhu Xiangxiang are very important.

Lao Cai originally wanted to give the role of Zhu Xiangxiang to Fan Bingbing, but Wesley's schedule conflicted with Fan Bingbing's.

Lao Cai had already reserved the second female role, Princess Xiangxiang, in The Book and the Sword for Fan Bingbing.

For the role of Zhu Xiangxiang, I just followed Ji Yu's thoughts and asked Li Xiaoran if she had time.

Anyway, Zhu Xiangxiang will be offline after two units, so it won’t affect the heroine’s role.

The heroine Bai Su is the key position.

Lao Cai brought Miss Hong Kong over from his old employer, Miss Hong Kong champion and Miss Chinese World champion Sonia Ng!
Sonija Kwok is very popular this year, not only because she is Miss Hong Kong, but also because the popularity of A Step into the Past made her a famous TVB actress.

With Sonia Ng in the cast, this drama can be broadcast on TVB in Hong Kong, and the cooperation with TVB can be closer.

Lao Cai looked at the cast list and found that there were many female characters in all four units.

Ling'er in The Phantom of the Tomb, Dujuan in Hundred Miles of Dujuan, Qi Zhen in Red Rock Book, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao in Blue Love.

These characters all have emotional entanglements with Wesley, and they are all beautiful women!
Lao Cai and Mai Guanzhi found beautiful women from all over Southeast Asia to take photos.

This will be conducive to the sale of overseas television copyrights.

Not a single beautiful actress from Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan and Mainland China was spared.

Singapore's four beauties Guo Feili and Fann Wong played Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, Malaysia's Chen Xiuli played Ling'er, Taiwan's Jia Jingwen played Du Juan, and mainland China's Sun Liyan played Qi Zhen.

Sun Li is a member of my company, so even if she is in love, I still have to make some arrangements for her.

When Old Cai thought of these beauties, he couldn't help but smile.

Then we’ll see if Ji Yu can still stare at his teacher Li every day.

If you insist on denying that you are a playboy, then prove it!

Ji Yu knew that this drama had a lot of emotional scenes, and he also knew that Lao Cai and Mai Zhaohui were planning to find beautiful women to play the roles.

But I don’t know that the quality of these beauties is a bit too high!
This is also one of the reasons why he thinks this script is good.

The male protagonist should win the favor of all the beauties!

Otherwise, how can it be fun!

The hot-blooded young man who steps into the role of the protagonist does not want to see the protagonist's wife being defiled and then forgiven.

Wesley's target audience is young people, not middle-aged people, and they themselves are not the audience for science fiction themes.

Lao Cai hummed a song as he put away the list of actors, looking forward to Ji Yu's expression when he saw so many beauties after returning from Hong Kong.

She was still very satisfied with Ji Yu.

Now I am more ambitious and know how to take the initiative to move closer to the film industry.

As an actor, who doesn’t want to move from the small screen to the big screen?

As Tangren's boss, she naturally hopes that Ji Yu can focus on the company's projects.

But she also knew that Tang Ren could not provide Ji Yu with the resources needed for his current fame, and she would not restrict Ji Yu's development.

The next day, Ji Yu returned to the mainland and it was already afternoon when he arrived in Shanghai.

The company was very busy at this time, and the main creative team of the Wesley project gathered together to discuss the subsequent shooting plans.

Ji Yu went to say hello and ran to find Lao Cai.

Lao Cai was on the phone at the time. When he saw Ji Yu come in, he made a hushing gesture and turned on the speakerphone.

A shrill female voice came from the other end of the line.

"Thank you Mr. Cai for choosing Xiao Ran, but I'm really sorry for this time. We'll work together again if there's a chance. Next time Mr. Cai comes to Beijing, I'll host him to express my gratitude."

Ji Yu raised his eyebrows. What was going on?

Old Cai glanced at him, then smiled and said into the phone, "Okay, let's put it this way, I'll have dinner with Mr. Ding next time I have the chance."

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone and looked at Ji Yu and explained, "This Ms. Ding is Zhao Baogang's wife and Xiaoran's boss. She said that the company has arranged a play for Xiaoran and she doesn't have time to film Wesley."

Ji Yu felt helpless as he couldn't even send the resources!
I won’t send you that anymore!

Old Cai smiled and said, "Look, you want to take care of others, but they don't need it yet."

"Let me ask Teacher Li what's going on." Ji Yu called Li Xiaoran immediately.

After chatting for a few minutes, Ji Yu knew the details.

Her company launched a martial arts drama project and invited Wu Jin to act in it, and she was chosen by President Ding as the female lead.

The company's projects cannot be promoted and it is easy to offend the company's senior management.

I've trained you, but you still don't want to act?

It is possible that the company will directly shelve or ban the product.

Li Xiaoran was also helpless and could only regretfully miss Wesley.

Ji Yu sighed, hung up the phone, looked at Lao Cai and asked, "Who will Zhu Xiangxiang find to play the role?"

"Bingbing, I'll coordinate the filming schedule with Director Li."

Old Cai threw a list and a stack of photos to Ji Yu and said, "Take a look at all the actors in Wesley."

Ji Yu took it, turned over one picture and saw a beauty, then turned over another one and saw another beauty.

"Guo Feili? The one from Journey to the East, the Peony Fairy?"

"Have you found all of Fann Wong? Two of the four beauties from Singapore."

"Chen Xiuli? Did she play the role of Blue Phoenix?"

"Jia Jingwen? Why would they choose her? Someone with connections in Taiwan?"

Old Cai looked at him with a smile and said, "Be happy, they are all beautiful women."

“There are too many for me to see.”

"I'll arrange it for you in turns, one unit at a time."

"This is good!"
