Li Shaohong saw that her proposal had piqued Luo Zheng's interest.
Her eyes lit up as she struck while the iron was hot.
She revealed her true purpose.
"President Luo, you should be familiar with Zhou Xun's acting skills. I wonder if there might be an opportunity for her to collaborate with you."
Luo Zheng glanced at Zhou Xun, who was standing beside Chen Kun, and nodded. "I have certainly heard of Teacher Zhou Xun's acting prowess, but collaboration depends on fate. I truly don't have any suitable projects in my hands right now."
After he spoke, a flash of disappointment crossed Zhou Xun's face.
In the mainland, she didn't lack resources, but what she didn't lack were television resources.
What she wanted, however, was to step onto the stage of the international big screen.
Although she had won the Best Actress award at the Paris Film Festival in 2000 and became an international Best Actress...
Compared to the three major international film festivals, the prestige of that award was far lower.
getting home won the golden lion, and along with it, Zhao Benshan's status in the industry rose rapidly.
No media outlet would ever say again that he could only perform skits.
Some even went as far as to clamor that Venice owed Zhao Benshan an international Best Actor award.
Therefore, the way Zhou Xun looked at Luo Zheng now was as burning hot as a forest fire.
For some reason, she felt that this young man before her had a way to help her seize a truly international Best Actress crown.
But unfortunately, the other party had refused without hesitation.
"Well, not having a project for now doesn't mean there won't be one in the future. It doesn't hinder the cooperation between our two companies."
Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Li Xiaowan quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
Li Shaohong followed suit, adding, "Yes, yes, President Luo. Rosat awaits your presence."
Luo Zheng clinked glasses with them; he only drank and made no promises as he continued to welcome the next wave of enthusiastic guests.
——
The stars were scattered across the sky, and the moonlight was like silver.
The banquet had finally come to an end.
Luo Zheng saw off the various big shots of the entertainment industry and finally finished saying his goodbyes to Han Sanping.
However, he found himself in a predicament.
Today could be considered a peak in his career, but in his love life, it had directly triggered a Shura Field.
Fan Bingbing and Gao Yuanyuan followed him closely, practically inseparable from his side.
They were both waiting for Luo Zheng to make a decision.
Tonight, whose place was he going to stay at?
Left with no choice, Luo Zheng could only use the 'bathroom escape' trick.
With Liu Yan's cooperation, he successfully fled.
"What? You're saying Luo Zheng climbed out the window and left?"
Fan Bingbing and Gao Yuanyuan's eyes widened as they looked at Liu Yan, their faces full of disbelief.
You, such a big boss and a big director, actually climbed out a window to escape your girlfriends?
If this got out, even entertainment reporters wouldn't dare believe it.
Liu Yan also had a helpless look on her face, but she still nodded. "Yes, the boss asked me to tell you both not to wait for him anymore."
"No, I don't believe it!"
After Gao Yuanyuan finished speaking, she charged directly into the hotel's men's restroom.
Liu Yan didn't stop her.
Because inside, it was indeed empty.
"Hmph!"
Coming out of the restroom and seeing Fan Bingbing with a faint smile on her lips, Gao Yuanyuan felt a surge of anger.
But since Liu Yan was present, she couldn't easily lash out.
With a furious huff, she stomped away in her high heels.
"Thanks, Liu Yan. Let's go shopping together another day."
Fan Bingbing gave a sweet smile and waved goodbye.
For her, as long as Luo Zheng didn't end up in Gao Yuanyuan's bed tonight, it was a victory.
Fan Bingbing was thinking long-term and was prepared for a war of attrition.
A mere Gao Yuanyuan wasn't worth getting upset over.
She could imagine that as Luo Zheng's status in the industry continued to rise, there would only be more 'vixens' in the future.
She needed to handle these issues with the vision and status of the primary wife.
Fan Bingbing cautioned herself this way.
Instead, the more she thought about it, the happier she became.
Luo Zheng having her by his side today and bringing her into the sight of those big shots had already signaled his attitude.
A man needed more than just physical release; he needed emotional comfort and a soulmate.
He ran a company, directed movies, and even spent energy on investments; the pressure must be immense. She couldn't just care about his achievements; she also had to ask if he was tired.
Sitting in the car on the way home, Fan Bingbing wrote this sentence in her notebook.
On the other side, moving back slightly in time.
Luo Zheng had scouted the spot and, with the cooperation of the hotel staff, climbed out the window to escape.
Just as his feet hit the ground, he was startled.
A person was standing right there, looking even more nervous than he was.
As the banquet was about to end, Ma Yili had keenly observed Luo Zheng's subtle movements.
She made up a random excuse to Guan Hu and left alone.
Then, she witnessed Luo Zheng's entire escape plan.
"And you are?"
Under the lights, Luo Zheng pretended not to know her.
"Hello, President Luo. I'm a rookie actress, Ma Yili, and I'm a good friend of Huang Bo."
Ma Yili suppressed her excitement and hurriedly bowed.
Fearing Luo Zheng would dismiss her casually, she also calculatedly mentioned her relationship with Huang Bo.
"Oh? You know Huang Bo?"
Luo Zheng was genuinely surprised, then remembered that Ma Yili should be dating Guan Hu right now.
So it wasn't strange for her to know Huang Bo.
"Hello, Miss Ma Yili. I have something to do, let's talk another day."
Luo Zheng was in a hurry to escape and tried to brush her off with a few words, preparing to leave.
But the other party, for some unknown reason, found the courage to spread her arms and block his path.
"What is the meaning of this?"
Seeing her look both excited and panicked, Luo Zheng was no longer in a hurry.
He wanted to see what this woman was really up to.
"President Luo, I want to ask for an opportunity!"
Ma Yili knew this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance and spoke her mind directly.
"Miss Ma Yili, you..."
"President Luo can just call me Xiao Jiu!"
Ma Yili suddenly took a step forward and directly hugged Luo Zheng's arm, pulling it into her embrace.
"Alright, Xiao Jiu. We can talk about opportunities another day. Have Huang Bo bring you to Blue Whale Entertainment, and we'll sit down and have a proper chat."
Luo Zheng tugged his arm but couldn't pull it free.
So he let her hold it.
Although the pair on her chest were mere A-cups, with no sense of being 'bountiful' at all...
As a man, he'd be a fool not to take advantage of a situation like this.
Moreover, the young Ma Yili's looks were decent; at least she wasn't ugly.
"President Luo, then do you have time tonight? I'm quite anxious and would like to ask for your guidance in person."
As soon as she said this, Ma Yili herself felt a bit of a blush.
But thinking of how she had to be so cautious and force a smile when seeking a role in the My Fair Princess III crew...
And thinking of how dazzling and star-studded Fan Bingbing and Gao Yuanyuan looked standing in the center of the banquet hall...
She made up her mind and pressed herself against Luo Zheng.
"Miss Ma Yili, I have things to do. Please suit yourself."
Luo Zheng didn't give a damn about her. He had finally escaped from the clutches of Fatty Fan and the beautiful Gao Yuanyuan.
His little maid Dong Jie was still waiting for his 'favor'.
He couldn't waste his time on this woman who had neither chest nor butt.
With a bit of force, Luo Zheng broke free from Ma Yili's forced embrace.
He walked toward his car.
The bodyguard opened the car door. Just as Luo Zheng sat inside and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Ma Yili also squeezed in.
Hey!
This woman was actually pestering him!
