Chapter 25 This is a different price!
Because Zhao Yingbao received a phone call before filming started, although she was fine during filming, Han Ziming could still tell that she wasn't very happy, so he agreed to go ahead with the project.
Soon, Han Ziming greeted Sun Molong, arranged for the crew to wrap up their work, and then left the crew with Zhao Yingbao, heading to the restaurant they had booked in advance.
As soon as the two sat down, Han Ziming asked, "You don't seem to be in a good mood. Is something bothering you?"
Zhao Yingbao sighed softly and said:
"I'm currently filming 'The Monkey King 3: Kingdom of Women,' and there are some upsetting things going on on set."
"It can't be that bad, can it? You're a good actor and a big star. Would the director really make things difficult for you?" Han Ziming asked doubtfully.
"It's not the director, it's a problem with the male lead," Zhao Yingbao said softly.
Han Ziming remembered that the male lead of this movie was Teacher Feng.
I remember that in my previous life, they met at the end of 2016 when they were working together on "The Monkey King 3: Kingdom of Women", and rumors of a romance started circulating afterward.
In April 2017, they were photographed having hot pot together;
In July, they were again spotted going back to a hotel after a date;
In September, she was also exposed for spending the night at the man's house.
……
In August 2018, rumors circulated online that Zhao Yingbao was pregnant.
As a result, on their birthdays in October, the two announced their marriage registration directly, saving themselves the trouble of going public with their relationship.
The two had known each other for 11 years, but divorced after 3 years of marriage, reportedly due to a strained relationship with the in-laws.
In fact, Han Ziming felt that if the actresses born in 85 weren't like those in "The Great Tang Poet Immortal," either married or with boyfriends...
He also wanted to collect stamps, but it was just a thought; his abilities didn't allow it, and it wasn't suitable for him either.
After all, there are rumors that the "Fairy Sister" and that Korean guy are in a contractual relationship, but we don't know if it's true or not.
Sister Mi's teacher, Mr. Liu, recently made headlines for the "script reading in the dark" incident.
Sister Sisi started taking care of five elderly people.
Tangtang is about to officially announce her boyfriend.
These are all goddesses in many people's hearts.
However, Han Ziming has his own principles; he won't touch married women. Although Teacher Zhao is currently single, who knows if she's still maintaining a distant relationship with someone else?
He can't just pretend to be a liar. If this gets out, it will damage his reputation, and how will those young actresses view him in the future?
Just as he was thinking this, Zhao Yingbao waved and called out to him.
"What are you thinking about?"
Han Ziming snapped out of his reverie and casually reminded him:
"Actually, this industry is like a large-scale karaoke bar; men and women are the same. You should focus on your career. The recent 'script reading in the dark' incident is a prime example!"
Just thinking about the scene in his past life where Teacher Li Jian was drinking with a group of male celebrities and rich women at a brand banquet makes Han Ziming's scalp tingle. This kind of job is not something that everyone can afford.
Besides, if the women are already like this, how could the men possibly let those female celebrities off the hook?!
Not to mention those who are male on top of male.
After listening, Zhao Yingbao thought about her old rival's situation and felt that it made some sense. After thinking for a moment, she changed the subject and asked.
Do you think I'm capable of making a film based on the classic Journey to the West?
Han Ziming hesitated for a moment before speaking.
"The Journey to the West is indeed a classic theme, but there have been too many remakes, and the audience is tired of it. Even Master Xing has stopped making Journey to the West series and switched to making comedies."
After listening, Zhao Yingbao remained silent for a while.
She knew that Han Ziming, as a screenwriter, had a good eye for talent, and that the movie's box office performance was unlikely to be good.
Suddenly she remembered something and asked:
"Are you familiar with the movie 'Duckweed'? It's set to release next Chinese New Year. Do you think it will do well at the box office?"
Han Ziming recalled that when "Duckweed" was released in his previous life, although it was criticized for being too chauvinistic, it still grossed more than 1 billion yuan at the box office.
"Don't worry, Mr. Han's films are sure to do well at the box office!"
"But I'm also a lead actor. The production team is all marketing Brother Chao and Peng Yuyan. I feel like I'm dispensable."
Zhao Yingbao felt depressed.
"If the movie does well at the box office, you'll benefit from it!"
Han Ziming said with a smile.
Zhao Yingbao said earnestly.
"Sigh, forget it. Movies are too hard to break new ground with. Don't go back on your word about 'The Story of Ming Lan'!"
"I'm definitely not lying to you, otherwise how would I survive in this industry? Instead of being obsessed with making movies, you should make money first and then invest in your own movies later!" Han Ziming waved his hand.
"Indeed!" Zhao Yingbao realized.
After the huge success of "The Journey of Flower", she also started investing, and "Princess Agents" accounted for a portion of her investment.
Before long, Zhao Yingbao started drinking one glass after another, and finally passed out on the table. No one knew why, but her assistant wasn't there today.
Han Ziming was also helpless.
We could only book a room at the hotel upstairs.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Yingbao woke up.
She vaguely remembered that it was Han Ziming who was taking care of her.
When she sat up, she found herself fully dressed and Han Ziming asleep on the sofa. She felt a warmth in her heart; he was a nice person, just a little clueless about romance.
However, considering that I'm almost 30 and have seen too many messy things in this industry, I suddenly became sentimental and tears started flowing.
Han Ziming woke up when he heard crying.
He saw Zhao Yingbao crying on the bed and quickly went over to her and said:
"Sis, I didn't touch you, don't try to blackmail me!"
"I was just thinking bad things, who's trying to scam you?"
Zhao Yingbao laughed, and her mood improved considerably.
Han Ziming realized what was happening and asked in confusion.
"Because of that movie incident?"
"Not entirely, but partly. I just got emotional."
Zhao Yingbao explained softly.
After listening, Han Ziming said with a serious expression:
"Because of a lack of resources? When I get back on my feet, if there are suitable roles, I will invite you to act in TV series and movies."
But don't ask for too much money. And if you have money, are you worried about not finding a man?
Hearing this, Zhao Yingbao looked at Han Ziming, who had a serious expression on his face, and couldn't help but throw herself into his arms.
Han Ziming was startled. The two stared at each other for a few seconds, and Zhao Yingbao unconsciously moved closer.
Han Ziming calmed down and pushed her away:
"Sis, this is a different price!"
Zhao Yingbao was annoyed, but she also realized that the kid was deliberately ruining the atmosphere to avoid making things awkward for the two of them.
But she was still a little angry.
"Are you incapable? Or are you just disgusted by me?"
Han Ziming was speechless. Of course he didn't mind, but he shouldn't do it if he wasn't making a firm decision.
He joked, "Calm down first, think it through before you speak!"
After showing off, Han Ziming left the room.
Zhao Yingbao looked stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.
He casually picked up a pillow and threw it at Han Ziming:
"You just wait!"
Han Ziming returned to his room, quickly took a cold shower to calm himself down, and fell asleep shortly afterward.
The next morning, Zhao Yingbao woke up.
She thought about what happened yesterday and felt both speechless and amused. She almost became the one who dated a younger man!
She sat up, looked out the window, and thought to herself that she was a very career-oriented person, and who cared about love and romance? Making money was the most important thing.
However, if we don't consider the future, my younger brother seems alright too.
"Forget it, let's focus on making money! I'll cut off all these messy romantic entanglements when I get back to the film set!"
She made a phone call to her team, quickly washed up, and left without saying goodbye to Han Ziming.
