Reborn to choose a career, I choose to be the most popular female star

Zhang Ruzi knew what Zhuo Hui said.

But she was also very clear that once she cooperated with Xinghui to attack Junhe, it would mean that Zhengda had agreed with Zhuohui's crooked ways.

Therefore, cooperation is absolutely impossible.

Zhang Ruzi said directly: "Today I can say no, and five years later I will still reply to you the same way"

Zhuo Hui nodded while drinking tea: "That's all I have to say."

At this time, the dishes were basically ready and several people started to eat.

"Come, Brother Changlong, eat what you like."

Li Nuo picked up a shrimp and was about to put it in Chang Long's bowl, but Chang Long took his own bowl directly. He was probably annoyed by his excessive attentiveness.

"Writer Li, there's no need to do this. Let's just be strangers."

Li Nuo's face was instantly filled with disappointment and he put down his chopsticks silently.

Seeing that they were all having an unhappy conversation, Jiang Linyu also spoke at the right time.

"I heard that Brother Long's contract with Xinghui is about to expire? I wonder what the next plan is?"

Chang Long's first reaction after hearing this was to look at Zhuo Hui. It was obvious that he wanted to renew the contract, but the initiative was on Zhuo Hui's side.

"Oh yes." Zhuo Hui put down his chopsticks: "It just happened to expire today, what's the matter?"

Judging from Zhuo Hui's response, it is obvious that he has not decided whether to renew the contract, which is also within Jiang Linyu's guess.

After all, Chang Long's age is there. Although he has gained some attention thanks to variety shows, he is not very popular, so it is normal for Zhuo Hui to hesitate considering the cost-effectiveness.

"Because screenwriter Li Nuo wants to invite Brother Long to play one of the roles, I need to ask Mr. Zhuo and Brother Long for their opinions."

Li Nuo's dejected expression brightened up again: "Yes, yes, he is one of the hero's subordinates. The original actor with martial arts background was unable to play the role."

"That would be great."

When a role came to him and could make money for the company, Zhuo Hui naturally agreed.

"It's such a great drama, it's our honor to have Chang Long in it, please arrange an audition for us."

“No audition required”

Li Nuo looked at Chang Long, his eyes full of strange emotions.

"As long as Brother Chang Long is willing to act in my play, there is no need to audition"

Although Zhuo Hui didn't know why Li Nuo, who was so difficult to deal with, was so special to an unknown artist under him, this was indeed a good thing for Chang Long and the company.

You know, he had expressed to Li Nuo the idea of ​​letting people in, but was directly rejected by Li Nuo.

"He would definitely agree. He even asked me a few days ago if I had any suitable scenes. But you know today is different from the past. Martial arts are no longer popular. Now we can just use stunt doubles and special effects."

Seeing Chang Long was indifferent, Zhuo Hui urged: "Chang Long, why don't you thank screenwriter Li quickly?"

At this time, everyone looked at him, especially Li Nuo, whose eyes were full of expectation.

Chang Long had a gloomy face and clenched his fists slightly on the table.

“I don’t agree to appear in the show”

Zhuo Hui was slightly stunned when these words came out.

"Why not act? You haven't even looked at the role, how can you not act?"

According to the artist's contract, the company requires the artist to guarantee a certain number of films to be filmed during the contract period, and also requires the artist to accept some performance arrangements made by the company.

That's why Zhuo Hui was so tough, not only because he felt that Chang Long's direct refusal was tantamount to slapping him in the face, but also because he did have the right to do so.

"Anyway, I will never act in his dramas," Chang Long said bluntly

Everyone immediately understood that the "he" Chang Long was referring to was Li Nuo.

Seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down, Feng Yuxi glanced at Jiang Linyu and was about to join in, but Jiang Linyu sat down and pulled him, motioning for him to wait.

There was a bang on the table, and Zhuo Hui asked angrily:

"Do you know what you are talking about? There are so many people who want to act in the play written by Li Nuo but can't, and you picked it."

The reason why Zhuo Hui was angry, besides because he was really angry, was mainly for Li Nuo to see.

After all, Feng Yuxi, the popular young actor promoted by his company, is the male lead of the drama. Even he, the president, supports Li Nuo, but Chang Long actually dares to offend him directly!

"Don't mention that this role is suitable for you because it involves fighting scenes. Now "Knock on the Rope" needs someone to save the show. As a member of Star Shine, you should also go and save the show without hesitation."

Jiang Linyu observed Chang Long's expression and knew that he needed to add fuel to the fire, so he gave Feng Yuxi a look.

After receiving Chang Long's gaze, Feng Yuxi immediately followed suit and advised Chang Long.

"Brother Long, why don't you think about it carefully? It just so happens that we can be together in the crew."

Feng Yuxi thought that the purpose of his meal was to persuade Chang Long to join the group, but he never expected that this time he was used as a tool by Jiang Linyu again.

While he was speaking, he didn't notice that Jiang Linyu's hand under the table next to him had turned on the recording.

Seeing that someone was helping him, Zhuo Hui became even more confident.

"Yes, you are not young anymore, but you don't have as many choices as Yuxi. If you don't accept this or that, how can I renew the contract with you?"

Zhuo Hui made it very clear that if Chang Long did not cooperate in filming this movie, Xinghui would not consider renewing his contract.

After all, Chang Long has no fame, no works, and no age advantage, so continuing to sign a contract with him is indeed not cost-effective for Star Shine.

Li Nuo looked at Chang Long beside him cautiously, only to see that his face was gloomy and his chest was rising and falling. Li Nuo almost said, "If he doesn't want to act, then don't force him."

After a long silence, Chang Long clenched his hands into fists.

"If Mr. Zhuo continues to force me to act in this drama, I will not renew my contract with Star Shine"

For a moment, Zhuo Hui was stunned.

"If you don't renew your contract with Xinghui, where else can you go?"

Everyone knows that if an actor is forty years old and has no fame or works, he will never be able to sign with a good company like Star Shine.

Feng Yuxi didn't expect that Chang Long would say this directly, and he suddenly panicked.

"Brother Long, it's not that serious."

“It doesn’t matter if I don’t sign with the company.”

Chang Long is honest, but not stupid. He knows very well how Xinghui has treated him over the years, but after all, they have been together for so many years, so he has some feelings for them, so his first choice for contract renewal will still be Xinghui.

But what Zhuo Hui said today made Chang Long see clearly. Given his current situation in the company, what difference does it make whether he signs or not?

The reason why he was able to appear on the variety show "Our Return to Garden Life" before was because the company's original candidate Rosie had an accident and the other artists in the company were unwilling to do so, so it was his turn.

This statement not only completely angered Zhuo Hui, but also made him, as the president, completely lose face.

"Okay, you said it yourself. Anyway, the contract has expired, so you will have nothing to do with Xinghui in the future, and we at Zhuohui will not sign such a disobedient artist!"

"Me too, I will never consider Xinghui again. In that case, I'll take my leave now."

Chang Long stood up and went out.

"Brother Chang Long"

Li Nuo had only hoped that he would participate in the performance, and he never expected that things would develop in this direction. Just as he was about to stand up, he was stopped by Jiang Linyu.

"Writer Li, I'm going to go, you guys eat."

"But?"

"Don't worry." Jiang Linyu gave him a very affirmative look: "I promised you that I would definitely do it."

Chang Long even gave up renewing his contract because he didn't want to act, what else could he do? Now Li Nuo no longer expected him to act, as long as he didn't hate himself more.

After going out, Jiang Linyu caught up with Chang Long who was about to leave the store.

"Brother Long, wait a minute."

"If you called me here today to persuade me to act in his play, then there is no need to say more."

Chang Long looked stubborn and angry.

"Li Nuo is a scumbag. I, Chang Long, will never work with him again in my life."

Jiang Linyu shook his head and took out a document from his bag: "I'm here to give you this"

Chang Long looked suspicious: "What is this?"

"The contract that Junhe gave you"
