"Mr. Gu, your film remuneration has been deposited into your studio account. I've already paid the taxes on your behalf, please confirm if there is any issue," Zhang Menglong said with a casual air, as though it wasn't a hundred million but merely a single yuan. "Mr. Zhang, is there a mistake?" It wasn't that Gu Tianluo underestimated himself, but the remuneration was frighteningly high. Having been in the acting business for so long, he had at most only received a few million in remuneration. For someone who put all his income into education and charitable causes, this amount of money was undoubtedly astronomical. Moreover, up to this point, it was doubtful that any actor in Huaxia had ever received remuneration of this magnitude, right? The most crucial thing was, they were just in the actor selection phase now. Normally, even if a film remuneration was to be paid, only a part of the signing fee would be given first, with the remaining remuneration and dividends paid after the final box office takings. Was Zhang Menglong not afraid of a box office flop? Although with such a cast, such an incident was virtually impossible, hadn't Zhang Menglong gone a bit too far in self-indulgence? "Actually, the remuneration I gave Mr. Gu is 50 million," Zhang Menglong said, "I know Mr. Gu is passionate about education and charity. The extra 50 million is just a small gesture of my support." Gu Tianluo was startled, then a bright smile appeared, "Then, I hope we have a pleasant collaboration and can create a perfect piece of work!" "It's also our honor," Zhang Menglong exchanged a look with Wang Ling. With such a true actor joining, 'Three-Body' would definitely achieve the effect they desired. It must be said, Zhang Menglong's eye for selecting actors was indeed sharp. The main characters, apart from one that deviated slightly from his initial expectations, all his recommended choices were unanimously approved by the judges! And that one actor also found their own shadow in another role, resulting in a happy outcome for everyone. As for those so-called traffic stars, whether it was Zhu Xiao or Roberts, they could only shake their heads in dismay in the end. Particularly Prince Wang Zihan, who even diligently prepared an outfit for the role of the Trisolaran, ended up not getting even a minor role as a passerby. As for the rest, those were some less significant roles. Zhang Menglong trusted the directors' judgement, they would certainly choose the most suitable candidates. With all the actors in place, Zhang Menglong and Wang Ling had a meal with them. These veteran actors found kinship in each other, seemingly having endless topics to discuss. Seeing such a scene made Zhang Menglong reflectively sigh; the dinner ended with some still not wanting it to be over. Having had some drinks, his head felt somewhat drowsy, Zhang Menglong didn't go home. Anyways, the Wanda Hotel was owned by Wang Ling's family; he had booked it for these few days, so he simply went straight to his presidential suite. Along the way, Zhang Menglong kept feeling some gaze on him, but when he turned around, he saw nothing. "Drinking causes trouble!" Zhang Menglong slapped his head, it had been a long time since he drank this much with his roommates.Nôv(el)B\\jnn "You're so saucy!" Zhang Menglong quickly stepped back. "Hehe!" Half Moon Forest's eyes remained seductively silky. She was full of confidence in her body; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to snatch a boyfriend from another internet celebrity with tens of millions of fans, "Isn't this very exciting? As long as Director Zhang is willing to let me try the role, I'm willing to do anything!" "Seems like it's not all Liu Yang's fault for cheating!" Zhang Menglong muttered to himself, most people really couldn't withstand it. "Wang Ling was right, damn, do all internet celebrities nowadays have no bottom line?" "Alright, you can go now, I can pretend this never happened." Zhang Menglong put his coat back on. A flash of surprise crossed Half Moon Forest's eyes. She had served herself up on a platter, yet Zhang Menglong remained unmoved? Weren't these rich second-generation youngsters all into this kind of play? "Knock knock knock!" Just then, there was another knock at the door. "Who's there!" Zhang Menglong hadn't done anything, so he had no need to act like a thief caught in the act; he was more than eager for someone to take this Half Moon Forest away. But when he opened the door, he froze. Outside stood another internet celebrity, wearing even less than Half Moon Forest! "Director Zhang, feeling lonely? Want me to come in and have a drink with you?" The internet celebrity said, her eyes already shooting sparks at Zhang Menglong. "Sorry, it seems someone beat you to it," Zhang Menglong quirked his mouth and stepped aside, as the two female internet celebrities stood eye to eye. "Forest, didn't you say you were going to have a midnight snack?" "I... And you, weren't you going to find a spot to rehearse your lines for tomorrow's audition?" "Interesting, this is good to watch!" Zhang Menglong sat down on the couch, picked up a banana, and started watching with interest. No wonder he felt like he was being watched on his way back; turns out someone had trailed him! "Bang!" Just when it seemed there would be an epic catfight, the two women exchanged a glance, as if coming to some agreement, and unexpectedly shut the door together. "Director Zhang, want to experience a threesome?" "Damn it!" The banana Zhang Menglong was nibbling nearly fell out of his mouth, "Are the people in this circle really this fierce?"
