Chapter 98: The Female Lead's Candidate

  First and foremost, I'd like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the book friends who have been supporting me throughout. Today, while browsing through the review section, I noticed that some of you have pointed out the problem with the emotional descriptions in this book. I admit that my portrayal of emotions is indeed rough and clichéd, but the truth is, I don't have much experience in this area. Moreover, writing about emotions is inherently difficult. However, I'll do my best to improve from now on, so please don't worry about the quality of this book. Although I haven't received a single penny in royalties so far, I'll continue to persevere and hope that you can all offer me more support, giving me some mental comfort. Hehe, sorry for rambling on a bit!

  "Haha, welcome, welcome! As fellow travelers in a foreign land, Mr. Wu doesn't need to be so polite. It's been a tiring journey, let's go, I've already prepared a place for you to stay!" Song Tang waved his hand and smiled, then led the two of them towards where he had parked his car.

  Wu Yuzhen's mood about coming to the US this time is very complicated. Although he has been in the film industry for a long time, after all, it's his first time coming to the US. However, when Wu Yuzhen saw Song Tang's enthusiasm, the feeling of being in a foreign land decreased a lot.

  Song Tang, walking in front, had been observing Wu Yusen's expression. Seeing the change in Wu Yusen's demeanor, he couldn't help but think that this trip to pick him up was a good idea after all. Afterwards, Song Tang chatted with Wu Yusen about some Hollywood-related information and talked about the next arrangements for Da Tang. The three of them arrived at the place prepared by Song Tang for Wu Yusen.

  The house is not far from the headquarters of Datang, and the two residences are close together. Although it's not very big, the environment here is good and quiet.

  "Since the time is too short, there was no time to arrange, so the accommodation is not very good, Mr. Wu and Mr. Li will have to make do with this for now!" After handing over the keys to the two places, Song Tang took the two men on a tour of the house again.

  "Haha, Mr. Song is too polite, I haven't even thanked you yet, this is already very good." Although this place is not as luxurious as when he lived in Hong Kong before, it's very cozy. Wu Yusen looked around the house and couldn't help but feel grateful for Song Tang's arrangement. Originally, they had planned to stay in a hotel during the early stages.

  "This is nothing, I don't have the time either. It's basically all arranged by George, and I'm just bringing you guys over." Song Tang waved his hand at the two of them, and when he saw their puzzled gazes, he quickly explained: "Hehe, George is the manager of Da Tang, generally speaking, he's in charge of things. After all, I don't spend much time in the company throughout the year, it's impossible to cover everything."

  After listening to Song Tang's words, Wu Yusen and the other person finally showed a relieved expression. They also knew in their hearts that as the boss and director, apart from writing scripts, they had to shoot several films a year, and indeed didn't have much time to manage company affairs.

  "Mr. Wu, Mr. Li, you've just arrived, take some time to get familiar with the environment first. I'll arrange for someone to pick you up tomorrow. Also, here's a script that Mr. Wu will be in charge of filming soon, take a look at it together. I've been waiting for Mr. Wu for a long time for this film!"

  Song Tang handed the script of "This Hitman Is Not So Cool" to John Woo, smiling and saying that he was indeed planning to let John Woo direct this film. This would also allow John Woo to get familiar with Hollywood's filmmaking style, after all there are big differences between American films and Hong Kong films.

  "No problem at all, I'm even a bit eager!" Wu Yusen was somewhat surprised by the script handed over by Song Tang. For a director, the quality of the film needs to be guaranteed, and the quantity of films also needs to be guaranteed. Having just arrived in the United States, Wu Yusen was still very excited to have such a good opportunity.

  After seeing that there was indeed nothing else to do, Song Tang bid farewell to Wu Yusen and left, because at this time Song Tang still had very important things to do!!!

  At noon, Song Tang finally finished his work and returned to the company. Since it was lunchtime, there were almost no people in the company. From a distance, Song Tang saw George and Danny discussing something. Seeing this, he walked up to them and said with a smile: "Danny, George, only you two are left in the company. Have you had lunch? What are you discussing?"

  The two people who were chatting and laughing at this time, after hearing Song Tang's words, suddenly smiled at each other, then looked at Song Tang together and said: "Hehe, boss you're back, George and I were just talking about it, we don't know which one you'll choose as the heroine of the new movie this time!"

  After listening, Song Tang smiled slightly. Song Tang knew what Danny meant. Previously, Song Tang had told the two that after finishing this matter, he would spend $200 million to film "Titanic". However, before that, they needed to confirm the male and female leads. The male lead was easy to choose, but as for the female lead, Song Tang had made a few suggestions at the time, which became a joke between Danny and George.

  Looking at the two of them with sly smiles, Song Tang suddenly understood, but it was clear that this wasn't the first time he had faced their teasing. Hadn't he chosen the female lead from "Titanic" himself and said she needed to be more mature and sexy? Was it necessary to go this far? Thinking of this, Song Tang gave them a glance, "Alright, George, Danny, if you two aren't hungry at noon, then Danny, hurry up and finish editing 'Braveheart'!"

  "Ah, boss, forget it, I don't have your kind of energy!" Danny's face turned bitter after hearing Song Tang's words. Through that period in Scotland, Danny knew that when working, Song Tang was a workaholic, often working 15-16 hours a day and still being full of energy the next day. Thinking about this, Danny couldn't help but break out in cold sweat!

  At this time, George saw Danny's bitter face and suddenly showed a smile on his face. He sympathetically patted Danny's shoulder, but George didn't take advantage of the situation. Instead, he timely changed the subject: "Has boss Ng Yu-sen arrived?"

  "Alright!" After hearing George's words, Song Tang finally turned to the main topic and let go of Danny, who was looking anxious on the side: "Yes, we've arrived at our destination. However, Mr. Wu won't be coming today. Tomorrow, please arrange for someone to pick up Mr. Wu and bring him to the company."

  "Alright, boss!" George didn't know why his boss, instead of choosing from the many excellent directors in America, had to find someone in their own country. Was it because Wu Yusen and his boss were from the same ancestral homeland? George believed that if his boss was willing, even a big-name Hollywood director could come to Datang! However, since things had already turned out this way, George decided to follow Song Tang's orders, because in George's eyes, although Song Tang seemed to do things without any rules or methods, everything he did had a purpose.

  As for what George was thinking in his heart, Song Tang didn't know. Of course, George also didn't know the real reason why Song Tang had invited Wu Yusen to come to Datang. Was it simply because he himself was Chinese and Wu Yusen was also Chinese, so he invited Wu Yusen to develop in Datang?

  But now the happiest one is Danny. At first, when he heard Song Tang's joke, Danny still had some bitterness on his face, but soon he thought of Jingying who was staying in Song Tang's office, and Danny suddenly became excited. Thinking of this, Danny looked at Song Tang with some curiosity, then glanced at Song Tang's office with ill intentions. But you've heard that the one who went to New York last year has come back suddenly, even a fool would know there's something fishy going on inside. Although Danny doesn't know the specific reason, he believes his boss is definitely in trouble this time!

  Song Tang, who was chatting with George, suddenly found Danny sneaking a smile on the side. He felt a little puzzled in his heart, wondering if there was something funny going on? However, Song Tang couldn't have imagined that there was trouble waiting for him to solve in his own office.

  Danny seemed to sense the doubt in his heart, so he quickly pulled George along and bid farewell to Song Tang: "Haha, see you later, boss. George and I should go have lunch now. Also, good luck!"

  Song Tang listened to Danny's last words, deliberately biting his good fortune heavily, looking at the disappearing back of the two people, feeling a little puzzled in his heart. Is there really something funny? Song Tang couldn't figure it out and simply stopped thinking about what Danny said when he left. He shook his head and walked towards his own office.

  "Danny, what's going on? Why are you suddenly so happy?" George looked at Danny walking in front of him, still smiling secretly, and after thinking for a while, he finally asked out the question in his mind.

  "Really? Is that so?" Having heard George's words, Danny, who was walking in front of him, suddenly stopped and looked at George with a questioning mind.

  "Of course!" George said affirmatively.

  "Hehe, actually it's nothing big, just guessing the boss is going to be in trouble!" At this time, Danny suddenly came to George's side and whispered in his ear.

  "What? The boss is in trouble, what kind of trouble, is it serious?" George asked nervously after hearing Danny say that Song Tang was in trouble.

  Danny, who was caught off guard for a moment, jumped in fright at George's sudden voice, then continued to hold onto George, who wanted to go back and tell Song Tang. Under George's puzzled gaze, he chuckled and said, "Don't worry, George, this really has nothing to do with us. I'm sure the boss will handle it. You know, George, today Jessica Alba suddenly came to the company."

  After George heard Danny's words, he suddenly put down his mind. With Danny's words, the sweet and lovely girl with brown hair who often followed Song Tang appeared in George's mind. Isn't that the boss's girlfriend? As for outsiders, the relationship between Jessica and Song Tang may be unknown, but for George, who has been following Song Tang since the earliest days, this is no longer a secret. Moreover, Jessica is sweet and nice, and George is also happy that his boss can have such a lovely girl as his girlfriend.

  Danny looked at George, who seemed nonchalant, and then said mysteriously: "George, think about it. Miss Alba hasn't come to the company for a long time, but today she suddenly appeared and secretly asked me if the boss was selecting a heroine for a movie. At that time, I was puzzled, but now that I think about it, isn't the boss currently selecting the heroine for 'Titanic' and has already chosen someone?"

  Although George didn't quite understand Danny's meaning, he vaguely knew that his boss was indeed a bit of trouble. Thinking of this, George silently wished Song Tang good luck~~~
