Chapter 560: Chapter 560 Don’t mention it, I lost all my money even to buy instant noodles!
Wang Ziqing’s words simply meant using Director Zhong’s gambling personality to help Qianxun contend for resources.
In the entertainment circle, there is no shortage of good resources, but there are so many good actors, so why should you get them?
Director Zhong is one of the famous directors in the Hong Kong film industry, and he has many connections with directors and screenwriters. If Director Zhong is willing to help, Qianxun could definitely thrive in Hong Kong.
For other actresses, he wouldn’t even bother saying this in front of Director Zhong.
However, as he just mentioned, Qianxun is very kind-hearted. Since he had won so much money thanks to her, he should speak up for her when he can, shouldn’t he?
This exchange of favors, one cannot just take advantage and ignore everything.
...
Upon hearing Wang Ziqing’s words, Director Zhong’s eyes suddenly lit up, "Right! I have helped her, and then I can ask her to take me gambling a few more times, she naturally won’t refuse!"
He then thought for a moment and continued, "I remember Old Wang is recently preparing something like Ghost Xiao Qian, where the female lead is a glamorous ghost. I think Su Qianxun’s appearance is quite suitable!"
Wang Ziqing heard this but just smiled without saying anything.
At this point, Director Zhong took out his phone and dialed the number of Old Wang.
"Hello, Old Wang! Aren’t you preparing to start shooting that ghost film?" Director Zhong said.
"What ghost film?! I think you specialize in gambling films!" A rugged voice came from the other side.
Director Zhong hurriedly replied, "Don’t be mad, don’t be mad, I have serious business. Have you found the female lead for your movie? If not, I have a suitable candidate that will definitely satisfy you!"
Hearing this, Director Wang immediately said, "Who? Do you have a photo? I haven’t been able to find the right person here and was about to use a newcomer."
At these words, Director Zhong’s face brightened up, and he slapped his thigh, "Yes, yes, yes! I guarantee her acting will astonish you!"
...
Director Wang trusted Director Zhong’s judgment in actors.
For a moment, he became curious about the person Director Zhong was talking about, "Oh? Hearing you say this, I must meet her quickly."
"Meeting her is easy! Just lend me a million first," Director Zhong said in haste.
"A million? You’re gambling again, aren’t you?" Director Wang, who knew Director Zhong well, immediately guessed the reason.
"Sigh! Don’t even mention it, I’m so broke I can’t even afford instant noodles! Buddy, you have to feel sorry for me this time, lend me some money!" Director Zhong’s tone suddenly became sorrowful.
Director Wang, however, showed no sympathy and said sternly, "One million is not possible, but I can lend you ten thousand yuan! Remember to pay it back after the movie is released!"
"Only ten thousand yuan! Wang Chao, you are too heartless!" Director Zhong wailed.
"Heh! If I’m not satisfied with the actress, I won’t lend you even that ten thousand yuan!" Director Wang said and hung up the phone.
Seeing this, Director Zhong immediately turned to Wang Ziqing, "Ziqing, look at this! See how stingy he is! He won’t even lend me a million!"
Having said this, Director Zhong looked expectantly at Wang Ziqing.
Wang Ziqing clearly understood his intention and also cleverly smiled, "Ten thousand yuan is probably not enough for Director Zhong’s expenses. Besides, Ziqing also earned a small fortune thanks to Qianxun, why not lend Director Zhong a million to help him out?"
Director Zhong was overjoyed when he heard this, "Ziqing, you really understand! Don’t worry, I will pay you back once I win the money!"
Wang Ziqing smiled slightly, "Good, no hurry. It’s getting late, and we have to start work early tomorrow, Director Zhong should go back and rest."
"Alright, alright!" Anyway, he already had the capital to turn things around!
