Shi Lan had estimated correctly, Deng Cong was naturally rebellious, especially after hearing Zhou Yi’s remarks, Deng Cong suddenly felt that he had to make this film, he wanted to be that celestial being. Moreover, his refusal of Shi Lan was just due to his personal preference. Was Zhou Yi getting a bit too full of himself?
"Director Deng, to thank you for letting vent, I could invite you to take charge of my next sci-fi movie..."
"Directing for you? Then, I really should be grateful for the great screenwriter’s benevolence," Deng Cong sarcastically rolled his eyes.
But Zhou Yi actually took Deng Cong’s words as a complint, "Director Deng, we don’t need to be so formal with each other..."
"You really think I’m praising you? Are we that close? Though the girl from Peak is arrogant and proud, at least she uses her own stuff." Deng Cong chuckled, "What does great screenwriter Zhou have?"
Zhou Yi sensed the humiliation in Deng Cong’s tone over the phone and imdiately stopped smiling, "Director Deng, don’t refuse the toast only to drink the forfeit."
"Who are you trying to impress? A third-rate stinky screenwriter, what big awards have you won? The Golden Copy Award?" Deng Cong grew angry, "I’m known for my bad temper, but at least my works are clear of any misconduct. Don’t call again, it’s bad luck."
After saying that, Deng Cong directly hung up on Zhou Yi’s call and blocked his contact altogether.
What a joke!
Zhou Yi’s reputation was sothing he had heard about from an investor who advised him to keep his distance.
But who would have thought, this trash would have the audacity to suck up to him, how disgusting is that?
Beside Zhou Yi’s example, Shi Lan suddenly seed incredibly endearing.
Though she was a bit overconfident, at least she was willing to strive. And wasn’t it just because she didn’t have his participation that she couldn’t beat Zhou Yi?
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi imdiately called his assistant to summon him back.
"Director Deng?"
"Contact Peak, I’ll take the movie," Deng Cong decisively made the decision with a wave of his hand.
The assistant, fearing that he was being impulsive, hurried to advise, "Director Deng, our schedule for the next year is full... and, we really don’t need to make an enemy of Zhou Yi."
ntioning Zhou Yi might have been okay, but hearing his na just spurred Deng Cong on even more, "Push all the schedules back. I want to clash with Zhou Yi’s schedule, if not, I won’t even take it!"
"Director Deng!"
"Stop preaching at , are you trying to be the boss here?" This ti, Deng Cong lost his patience. Already known for his bad temper, he disliked people nagging in his ear, especially when his assistant wouldn’t stop.
"I know what to do now," the assistant acknowledged, knowing Deng Cong was still angry, so he could only agree for the ti being.
But he didn’t take any action, since he knew that once Deng Cong’s temper cooled off, he would naturally know what to choose.
To prevent Deng Cong from considering the Peak movie, the assistant even went to the dia privately, hoping that promotional accounts would create so controversy between the two.
Why gamble one’s reputation for a movie that will surely flop?
Thus, the lady returning to Yancheng didn’t hear of Deng Cong changing his mind, but rather, she heard mockery from so dia sources, saying that Peak’s attempt at movies was overreaching and trying to compete with Zhou Yi was one of them, inviting Deng Cong was another, both seed so ludicrous, so far-fetched.
More importantly, Tang Ze found out that these voices had co from Deng Cong’s side.
"How about we choose another director, boss?"
Shi Lan had just landed not long ago, had just dropped off her luggage, and after hearing Tang Ze’s words, she laughed, "You an to say, I’m poor at judging people and used the wrong approach?"
"Boss, you know that’s not what I an."
"No rush on the director’s issue, let’s prepare other things first. Complete the script, set up the project. I’m planning to establish Diamond Film, but as a subsidiary of Shuangshi and a peer to Peak, I still need to convince the Shuangshi executives, otherwise, who will fund us?" Shi Lan said, "Now, there’s no need to dwell too much on one thing."
"Alright, I understand."
Shi Lan let Deng Cong’s matter slide because she was confident he couldn’t refuse the script from Peak.
Indeed, just after Tang Ze’s call ended, Shi Lan received a mysterious ssage, "Director Deng had his assistant retrieve the script, but the script in the director’s hands might be missing so pages, as I found a torn page on the scene—soone deliberately tore it off."
The implication of the mysterious person was already very clear.
Shi Lan understood, "I will send over the electronic file in a mont. Also, Director Deng said, did I invite him to film as if it was a wild fancy?"
Mysterious person, "That’s not Director Deng’s style. It’s possible his assistant said that."
Shi Lan, "Got it, I’ll depend on you to give a hint there. That assistant is too ddleso."
Mysterious person, "Leave it to ."
Shi Lan, "Thanks."
A trip to the desert was not in vain for the young miss.
Of course, securing a top director required going through negotiations with various parties.
The assistant of Deng Cong implied that films by Peak were not worthy to even touch Deng Cong’s shoes, but Shi Lan was determined to show this minor assistant that no one could obstruct the target Shi Lan favored.
After a quick shower, Shi Lan discreetly went to Shuangshi, essentially to soothe soone in a bad mood.
When Director Yan returned to his office after a eting, he saw the young miss leisurely writing the company’s plan while sitting in his chair.
"Knowing that establishing Diamond depends on a single thought of mine, do you not know to please instead of making angry?"
Shi Lan turned her head, looked at the man beside her, and couldn’t resist hugging him and burying her head against his abdon, saying, "I missed you."
Those three words cald Director Yan’s anger because the young miss acted coquettishly.
"Miss , so you just go ahead and leave?"
"Uncle Yan, can you not settle accounts after the fact?" Shi Lan looked up, clutching at Director Yan’s coat hem.
Director Yan furrowed his brow, sensing that the situation was not simple.
Indeed, the next second, Shi Lan threw a project proposal at Director Yan, "Help handle that group of old n?"
This ti, Director Yan was stern, "I also want to hear your plan and initial intentions for establishing Diamond."
Shi·Don’t Want to Write a Plan·Lan, "I don’t want to face a bunch of old fogeys; I just want to tell you?"
Actually, given Peak’s achievents, establishing Diamond Film at Shuangshi was not difficult. After all, achieving industrial chain integration and comprehensiveness would aid the group’s overall developnt. But Director Yan was too indulgent toward the young miss, and the board already had its criticisms.
For the directors, Shuangshi was already massive enough. And the entertainnt industry was never the main show for Shuangshi.
"Prepare the plan properly; don’t be lazy."
The young miss, "... Alright, I’ve prepared the sofa for you tonight."
Director Yan did not really want to hear the latter half of that.
He had heard about Deng Cong’s incident, but he did not think the young miss rely played around on her trip, even if the ssages released externally were disadvantageous for their cooperation. Nevertheless, Director Yan felt that eventually, things would turn out as the young miss wished.
But he was looking forward to seeing how the ice would be broken.
