Chapter 98

"Hello, my name is Choujun."

The man in front of him was about 20 years old. He took out a business card from his clothes and handed it to Meng Youcheng.

Meng Youcheng simply took a look and said nothing.

Zhou Jun said, "I just graduated last year, and I directed a micro-film some time ago, but it didn't start well. The star got into trouble, and my film was also taken down..."

Meng Youcheng was silent for a few seconds, "So..."

"I have had a dream of becoming a director since I was a child. I don't want to give up this opportunity. I won't beat around the bush. Do you know a novel called "Puppet Show"? "

Meng Youcheng thought for a few seconds, "Are you talking about... the novel that was very popular some time ago and has been dominating the charts on various platforms, "Puppet Show"? "

Zhou Jun nodded, "Yes, that's it, you guys..."

"Wait a moment……"

Meng Youcheng stopped him and said, "I read this novel some time ago and followed the author's Weibo, but I didn't see him post anything saying that he wanted to sell the copyright of this novel for film and television?"

Zhou Jun looked at him, "I am the original author."

The man was stunned...

Jiang Yuming, who was standing next to them, looked at the two of them and couldn't help but quietly asked Meng Youcheng, "Is that novel very popular?"

"Using puppets to set up a plot and tell the story of family and country..."

Meng Youcheng thought for a while, "Some time ago, this novel was very popular. It was so big that many directors came to the author to ask for the copyright, but no one got it. It turned out that the original author wanted to make this movie himself?"

but……

Zhou Jun continued, "I think Mr. Jiang is particularly suitable for the male lead of this novel. I have revised the 100,000-word novel and turned it into a movie of more than an hour..."

"I hope Mr. Jiang can star in this movie."

Meng Youcheng pondered for a few seconds, "I like the novel very much, but... you should know that in two or three months, the Best Actor Award will be announced. This year, I hope Jiang Yuming can win the award..."

"So you came to act in this movie. This movie has a big scale..."

Zhou Jun said anxiously, "Maybe Mr. Jiang can really take this opportunity to become the best actor."

"The film and television works participating in the selection of the Best Actor Award not only have to consider the scale, but also the director, the co-stars, and many other factors. Now there is not much time left before the award ceremony, so at this stage, we can only choose one movie..."

Zhou Jun's expression suddenly became a little disappointed, "Is that so..."

Meng Youcheng sighed...

Jiang Yuming next to him didn't care. He thought for a moment and said, "Although you are a new director, it's no problem. The Best Actor Award mainly depends on me. There are also external factors. Have you chosen the female lead and the second male lead?"

Zhou Jun's expression became even more disappointed. "In the novel, the heroine is older than the hero, so it's a sister-brother relationship. So far, I've looked for many actors, but none of them are suitable. As for the second male lead, I'm still looking..."

Jiang Yuming smiled and said, "If that's the case, then..."

"and many more!!!"

Before the boy finished speaking, Meng Youcheng suddenly interrupted him, "We've accepted this script."

Zhou Jun's face was suddenly filled with surprise, "Really?"

Jiang Yuming looked at him incredulously, "Why...?"

Meng Youcheng just nodded, "Really..."

……

"Why did you accept that script?"

Jiang Yuming and Meng Youcheng walked hand in hand on the road. The young man's tone was very steady. He turned his head and glanced at him, "Now is a critical moment. The movie I accepted is not the best choice. What if the Best Actor Award..."

The man interrupted him, "Don't you like that script?"

"how come?"

Jiang Yuming smiled, "I haven't even read the novel, and I don't know who the male lead is. How could I not like the script?"

"And for an actor, it doesn't matter whether I like it or not. As long as the audience likes it, that's enough. Only then will my stardom go further and further. If I just follow my own ideas blindly, maybe one day it will die."

"So... Uncle... why did you choose that script?"

Why……?

Because just now during the conversation, 001 suddenly popped up and told the man that as long as he could get this script, Jiang Yuming had a 90% chance of winning the Best Actor award, and according to the development of the original work, he won the Best Actor award because of this script!

Because I was 90% sure, I changed my mind...

but……

001's words suddenly woke him up again...

This script only takes one month from the start of filming to the end. It will be put on the shelves in half a month, and then it will become a hit. The Best Actor Award will definitely go to him, which means that Meng Youcheng will soon complete his mission and return to the real world...

Meng Youcheng looked at the boy next to him, hesitating to speak...

Finally, he sighed, "I think that a good script can make up for everything..."

Jiang Yuming still kept smiling, "As long as you feel good, it doesn't matter to me. As long as you don't leave me, I'm willing to do anything for you. I also know that everyone in the world can harm me, but you won't..."

"You will always be with me, right, uncle?"

Meng Youcheng was stunned, "I..."

Jiang Yuming didn't pay attention to him, but held the man's hand and walked carelessly, "We will keep walking until we are old and gray, and then we will hold each other tightly, leave this world hand in hand, grow old together, together..."

"Uncle, what are you thinking about?"

Jiang Yuming suddenly glanced at him and asked, "Why are you sweating so much?"

Meng Youcheng wiped it off belatedly, and looked up at him with a guilty look, "I...maybe...I'm hot?"

……

"The movie you're planning to shoot doesn't have a second male lead?"

Situ Ming turned the pen in his hand and walked up to them. "I just heard what the boss said. I thought about it for a long time. I also finished reading the novel last night. I like the role of the second male lead very much..."

Jiang Yuming looked at him hesitantly...

Meng Youcheng was just about to speak...

Situ Ming spoke again, "Mr. Jiang, don't get me wrong. What I did to you some time ago was taught by my boss. I am also an employee who hopes to get good resources, so I had to listen to my boss. After all, I am different from you. I was born without resources. All my efforts and contributions can only rely on myself..."

The boy's expression softened a bit...

"and then?"

Situ Ming thought for a moment, "Give me this opportunity. With my acting skills, I will definitely be able to help you win the Best Actor award..."

Jiang Yuming's expression was cold, "You want to use this role to attract a large number of fans, right?"

"Ah……"

Situ Ming sneered, "I can't help it. The number of fans has not increased, and the boss is indifferent to it. As the person involved, I certainly can't just sit there and watch. After thinking for a long time, I found that this is a good opportunity. It's mutually beneficial and you won't lose anything."

Meng Youcheng wanted to interrupt, but he couldn't find a chance...

Jiang Yuming: "OK, I will recommend you to the director. Just sit at home and wait for the news."

Situ Ming turned around and waved, "Bye..."

Meng Youcheng exhaled a breath of air...

"He is indeed a good candidate. I just thought you would reject him because of the dispute between you two?"

Jiang Yuming turned his head and looked at him, smiling, "In your heart, is your beloved partner so petty? So stupid that he can't even seize an excellent opportunity?"

Meng Youcheng was stunned immediately, "Ah?"

The young man raised his hand and touched him, "Uncle... Although I don't like Situ Ming, I still know the truth. At this stage, we are most in need of a quality actor. Situ Ming is a good choice. For this Best Actor Award, and for... you, I will not give up any opportunity."

Jiang Yuming smiled, "And I hate Situ Ming, not because he is scheming and powerful, but because he always tries to get close to you when I'm not around, and always fantasizes about snatching you away from me. This is the fundamental reason why I hate him..."

"So, if the filming really starts, stay away from him. I can't say it's for my sake, but for Situ Ming's life..."

Meng Youcheng was a little confused, "Huh?"

"Does Director Wang still remember?"

The man nodded. "Is it the gay director you knocked to the ground... the one who said nonsense on Weibo because you didn't sign a script with him?"

"I don't want to hide anything from you. I asked my brother to deal with that director, not because of his attitude, but because he touched you. I hope my brother will kill him, but my brother told me that we are now in a society ruled by law and we can't kill people easily..."

Jiang Yuming's expression was solemn. "But fortunately, my brother made him bankrupt. His bright and promising career as a director was completely ruined because of his action back then..."

"This is the price he pays for touching you!!!"

Meng Youcheng's expression also became solemn...

Jiang Yuming glanced at him secretly and smiled, "As expected...are you scared? Uncle...after hearing what I said, are you particularly afraid of me?"

"You don't have to be afraid. I can hurt everyone in the world, but you are the only one I will never hurt. You are my life."

"Jingle Bell……"

Just as Meng Youcheng was about to speak, someone suddenly sent him a text message...

He picked up his phone and took a look...

[Xu Xingcheng: Let’s meet at the coffee shop. Don’t bring Jiang Yuming with you. Just come alone. I have something very important to tell you.]
