Chapter 43 Joining the Group
Around 8 p.m., Zhang Zeyan was taken back to school by Zheng Xiaoli and her daughter Zheng Xinyao.
Back in his dorm, Zhang Zeyan immediately began adjusting the novel website, such as opening up the author backend.
At the same time, he also stated on the website that anyone can use his novels to create fan works, but they can only be published on his novel platform.
"Xiao Ling, from now on, this website will be in your hands." Zhang Zeyan instructed Xiao Ling.
"Don't worry, Master, leave this to me." Xiao Ling seemed very confident.
Zhang Zeyan was more confident than Xiaoling about this matter.
Xiao Ling's existence is almost like a bug; it can automatically generate code, images, and even videos according to Zhang Zeyan's requirements, and then automatically improve the website's information.
Zhang Zeyan doesn't need to lift a finger now. He only needs to describe the effect he wants to achieve to Xiaoling, and Xiaoling can make it happen herself.
After the website was updated, Zhang Zeyan left his email address for business cooperation.
Zhang Zeyan also entrusted Xiaoling with handling business collaborations.
Xiaoling possesses intelligence comparable to that of humans, so she handles such matters with ease.
So in less than two days, Xiaoling reached cooperation agreements with several merchants.
The cooperation model will be based on the model of the Tomato Free Novel Platform on Earth.
With Xiao Ling around, Zhang Zeyan doesn't need to worry about this at all.
After the cooperation was reached, several merchants quickly transferred the payment, which amounted to more than one million yuan.
At the same time, the merchant also sent Zhang Zeyan his GG (Girl's Name).
Zhang Zeyan handed over these tasks to Xiaoling, while he continued to optimize the script.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
That day, Zhang Zeyan finally optimized and revised the script to a score of over 90 points for Xiaoling.
Zhang Zeyan could clearly sense that the script, which was rated 90 points, was incredibly impressive.
There is probably not a single movie on the entire planet that can score over 90 points.
A score of 85 or above is considered top-tier for a script, such as "Bright Sword" for TV series and "Nezha" for movies.
A score of 90 is extremely difficult to achieve.
Zhang Zeyan's score of 90 points this time was entirely due to Xiaoling's constant guidance and revisions.
If it were him, he could only revise the script to a score of 85 or higher at most, and it would be impossible for it to exceed 90.
In the dormitory, after Zhang Zeyan optimized the script to a score of 90, he stopped optimizing it.
He is now certain that Xiaoling can indeed help him raise the score of his work to over 90 points.
After the script was optimized, Zhang Zeyan then spent his days honing his acting skills with two acting coaches.
Originally, Director Zhang Ermao said he could join the crew in a week, but more than a week has passed, and Director Zhang is telling him to wait a few more days.
Another week has passed, and Zhang Zeyan's acting skills have improved significantly because he has been honing his skills with his teacher every day.
On that very day, Director Zhang Ermao finally made a phone call to Zhang Zeyan, asking him to take a flying vehicle to Enze City.
The film crew that Zhang Ermao assembled was located in Enze City.
After receiving the call, Zhang Zeyan told his acting teacher and the principal, and then flew to Enze City.
Enze City, Kagong Film and Television City.
When Zhang Zeyan arrived, a young man came to pick him up.
"Zhang Zeyan, right? I'm the assistant director, my name is Chen Cheng. Director Zhang sent me to pick you up," a young man in his thirties said to Zhang Zeyan.
"Hello, Brother Chen!" Zhang Zeyan greeted the young man.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the hotel the film crew rented to settle in, and then we'll go see the director."
"Okay, Brother Chen."
Inside the film studio, Zhang Zeyan followed behind Chen Cheng.
Because he wasn't wearing a mask, he attracted a lot of attention along the way.
Soon, assistant director Chen Cheng brought Zhang Zeyan to a hotel near the film studio.
This hotel has been booked by the film crew.
Under Chen Cheng's arrangement, Zhang Zeyan stayed in a room on the fifth floor of the hotel.
After the room was arranged, Chen Cheng took Zhang Zeyan to meet director Zhang Ermao.
"Director, Zhang Zeyan is here." Chen Cheng led Zhang Zeyan into an office converted from a hotel room.
In the office, a middle-aged man is operating a computer.
Upon seeing Zhang Zeyan enter, the middle-aged man immediately stood up with a warm expression.
"Junior Brother Zhang Zeyan, you've finally arrived. Please have a seat..."
The middle-aged man gestured to Zhang Zeyan, then said to Chen Cheng, "You can go out now."
"Okay, director."
After receiving the instructions, Chen Cheng immediately went out.
Soon, only Zhang Zeyan and the middle-aged man remained in the room.
This middle-aged man is none other than director Zhang Ermao.
At this moment, Zhang Zeyan felt a chill run down his spine as he was being watched by Director Zhang Ermao.
Zhang Ermao looked at him as if he were looking at an unparalleled beauty.
Fortunately, Zhang Zeyan did not see any lewdness in his eyes.
Zhang Ermao's gaze towards him was full of appreciation for beautiful things.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Junior Brother Zhang Zeyan, your face is simply...!"
After watching for a while, Zhang Ermao couldn't help but click his tongue in disapproval.
"I'll try my best to capture your face perfectly in the photos, then you can expect to charm countless beautiful girls, hehe!"
"Director Zhang, do I need to audition now?" Zhang Zeyan asked Zhang Ermao.
"No need. The male lead is destined to be yours. Even if you don't have acting skills, I will teach you," Director Zhang Ermao said, shaking his head.
"Wait a moment, I need to take this call."
Just then, Zhang Ermao's phone rang.
"Hey! What? You're withdrawing your investment? Why?"
Inside the office, Director Zhang Ermao's voice rose rapidly, his face filled with disbelief.
"No, although my first two films flopped, this one is a film I've meticulously crafted over two and a half years. Secretary Chen, could you tell President Tian that this film is definitely going to be a success and make money..."
Inside the office, Zhang Zeyan listened intently to Zhang Ermao's words.
Soon, Zhang Zeyan heard faint sounds coming from the other end of the phone.
The voice on the other end of the phone said, "Director Zhang, it's not that we don't want to invest in your film, it's that you didn't even hire any actors from the interstellar world, but instead cast a complete newcomer who has never acted before as the male lead. How can we feel comfortable investing under such circumstances?"
"Furthermore, the newcomers you've found haven't even had a single acting class. Tell me, if you were in their shoes, would you invest?"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Ermao quickly defended himself.
"Secretary Chen, the person I've found isn't just any ordinary newcomer. He's the top scorer in the national exam with a perfect score of 750. His name is known throughout the entire Federation now..."
"Director Chen, you don't need to explain so much to me. I'm calling you just to announce our General Manager Tian's decision. Explaining to me is useless."
After saying that, the other end of the phone hung up immediately.
