Chapter 198 - Fleury's Annoyance

Looking at Flatley who was in the kitchen making coffee for the two of them, Ecks hemmed and hawed and smiled at Lin Ming Yang, "Got another one, congratulations!"

Lin Ming Yang heard the faint sarcasm in Ecks' words, after having a substantial relationship with Frehley, he also had a headache over this. While his career was springing to life, his relationship was becoming more and more chaotic.

"Get down to business!" Lin Ming Yang didn't want to explain much, "You came to me early in the morning, you didn't just come to care about my private life, did you?"

"Private life is your freedom, I never intend to interfere, as long as you don't get caught by the media, you can play as you like!" Ecks shrugged indifferently, "I think you probably haven't read today's newspaper yet...the Oscar organizing committee announced the nominees for this year's award-winning works last night, and 'District 9' was shortlisted."

Lin Mingyang's reaction upon hearing the news was flat, as he said while chewing on his bread, "It's to be expected."

"Originally, I thought that the Oscars wouldn't award you a second trophy in a short period of time, but this time, the situation was a bit special, and I think the Oscars' judges had a hard time deciding because they didn't know whether they should categorize District 9 as a drama or a documentary, and after thinking about it, they ended up having to give you a Best Original Screenplay."

Lin Mingyang had something in his mouth and his speech was a bit slurred, "And then?"

"The bad news is that you lost your chance to hit the highest honor at the Oscars, while the good news is that your contenders this time around were average in strength...the chances of winning are high!"

"What are you guys talking about?" At this time Blake Flatley walked into the living room with the brewed coffee, and after putting down the tray, she sat down graciously next to Lin Ming Yang.

"We're chatting about some of the past, I remember when I first met you two years ago, you would still blush when you saw this guy...time flies!" Ecks said with some emotion.

Fleurie blushed, of course she heard the "teasing" flavor in Ecks' words, she lowered her head and held her coffee cup, and didn't continue to inquire curiously.

Eckers and Lin Mingyang chat a few words, after drinking coffee, he got up to say goodbye, after sending him away, back to the living room, Lin Mingyang found that Flatley holding the coffee in his hand is still there in a daze, seems to have something on his mind.

Lin Mingyang sat down next to her, Frehley put down the coffee in her hand and leaned on Lin Mingyang's shoulder, frowning.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Ming Yang turned his head sideways and asked softly in her ear, "Is there something uncomfortable after the first time?"

Fleury shook her head, "I'm actually bothered by something else...CW is preparing to make a new TV series, and one of the roles they're planning to cast me in."

"CW TV?" Hearing this name, Lin Ming Yang's mind suddenly recalled something.When the UPN television network under CBS Television and Warner Bros. Entertainment under Warner Bros. merged in 2006, many people were probably shocked out of their wits at the time. The shocking news shattered the previous landscape of the television industry, and the fifth-largest television network in the United States: the Columbia and Warner Bros. United Network was born, or The CW for short.

Although The CW integrates the superior resources of CBS and Warner Bros. and can cover nearly 95% of U.S. TV subscribers, The CW has never been able to shake the dominant position of the four major TV networks: FOX, ABC, CBS, and NBC. So, as the CW's homepage says itself, the young network is beginning to shift its direction to target a younger viewing audience, becoming the only network to target young viewers ages 18-34.

Toward that goal, The CW began airing a series of popular teen dramas, and the one they invited Fleury to star in would fall into that category.

To verify his judgment, Lin Ming Yang asked, "What was the name of that drama?"

"The name is called Gossip Girl or something...it seems to be based on a novel about a group of rich kids hooking up at a certain private school in New York." Flatley clutched the cushions on the couch tightly in his arms with a tangled expression on his face.

The drama that had made Frehley so popular was finally going to start filming, but as one of the "main characters", Frehley, the future Queen of S, was now hesitating to take part in the drama, a scenario that made Lin Ming Yang feel very absurd.

"So what are you worried about...is the plot bad, or are you not satisfied with the role?"

"The plot isn't bad, the writers used the elements of 'blogging' and 'cell phone texting', which are trendy and popular nowadays, as the central theme, but it doesn't make it feel contrived, stiff, fake or staged. " Flatley's assessment of the script's conception is not bad, but immediately afterward she turns the tables:

"But you'd never guess that in this TV series, high school students drinking, promiscuity, hooking up with each other and even drugs have become as commonplace as drinking plain water and eating."

"It's all a social reality, except that movies and TV works are used to glorifying reality...I think the writers' idea of including microblogging and cell phone texting in the story is really good, because these are indispensable elements in the lives of young people nowadays. And the CW's positioning of the viewing audience will help you a lot in the future, once this drama is a big success, you'll be able to accumulate a lot of popularity among the teenage population."

Flatley explained, "But I've been advised to concentrate towards the movie side of things...everyone thinks movies are going to be more promising than TV shows."

Aside from Flatley's family, Lin Ming Yang couldn't really think of anyone else who could influence her decision, "Is this your parents' opinion?"

Flatley lowered her voice in silence, sort of acquiescing to Lin Ming Yang's statement.

Lin Ming Yang easily guessed what Fleury's parents were thinking, "They're worried that after you act in a TV series, you'll have a fixed image in the audience's mind, and it'll be more difficult to transition in the future... but with me here, you don't need to agonize over this problem at all."

Fleury raised her head, and in her heart, she suddenly realized that the man she had given her body to, despite his young age, had already gradually grown into an important role in Hollywood that was hard to be ignored.

Lin Mingyang's undeniable tone made Frehley feel an unprecedented sense of solidity, and she knew that the promise Lin Mingyang gave at this time was not the kind of verbal check that could not be honored.

She snuggled into Lin Ming Yang's arms and said sweetly, "Honey, your decision is my decision!"

"Really?" Lin Ming Yang looked at Flatley's proudly slender legs with a bad smile on his face, and in his heart, he had another crooked thought.

Fleurie face full of shyness pulled his dress, the first taste of forbidden fruit she did not know moderation and Lin Mingyang carnival last night, the morning get up there are not yet fully recovered, and now can not withstand Lin Mingyang wanton "tossing".

See Lin Mingyang "colorful" eyes still refused to move away, Frye pouted and glared at him, the eyes of the flow of flirtatious style immediately let Lin Mingyang heart itchy. He could not help but pick up Frehley and was about to head towards the bedroom, but at this time Frehley's cell phone rang at an inopportune time.

This phone call let Frehley from Lin Mingyang's "clutches" to break free, Lin Mingyang a face of frustration sitting on the sofa, Frehley on the sidelines to pick up the phone.

"This is Blair Flatley...yes, Mr. Josh Schwartz did talk to me about this...what do you mean, the filming of that TV series has been canceled?" Frehley's head, which was stroking his hair, stopped in mid-air, a look of disbelief on his face.

Lin Ming Yang was beside him and also heard her talking on the phone, the expression on his face was even more exaggerated than Frehley's, he had managed to convince Frehley, but then there was a mess on the other end...what's going on here?

He was about to open his mouth to speak, but Fleury made a "shh" gesture towards him.

"I've been thinking about this for days and I'm just about to give you an answer and you tell me the movie's not going to happen, what does that mean?" Flatley questioned.

The person on the other end of the phone kept apologizing non-stop and explained the whole thing to Fleury, originally CW TV was going to film this drama, but something went wrong in the middle of the process, probably some financial problems within the company, and the filming plan was aborted.

Flatley helplessly put down the phone, this result is difficult to accept both her and Lin Ming Yang, the two sat on the sofa in silence for half a day, Lin Ming Yang's side finally couldn't hold back.

"How could this happen!" He leaned on the sofa and covered his head, his expression incomparably depressed.

Flatley said somewhat gamely, "It doesn't really matter, it's just a TV show, if you don't act, you don't act!"

She didn't have the kind of foresight that Lin Ming Yang had, so naturally she didn't know what she had lost, but Lin Ming Yang was very clear that the TV series Gossip Girl had an irreplaceable position in the process of Frehley's fame, without the Queen S that made people talk about it with gusto, would Frehley still be the same sweet and sexy Gossip Girl that Lin Ming Yang remembered?

The deeper he thought about it, the more Lin Ming Yang felt that Flatley couldn't lose the role. He had just promised to help Frehley win a brilliant future, and this change in front of him became a hurdle that Lin Ming Yang had to find a way to help Frehley cross over. But exactly how to help, Lin Mingyang momentarily did not have a clue.

Seeing Lin Mingyang's frowning face over his own affairs, Frehley's heart was warmed, she took the initiative to sit in Lin Mingyang's arms, wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "Don't agonize over this anymore, it's not your fault!"

The beauty took the initiative to throw her arms around him, but Lin Mingyang was no longer as excited as he was before. Frehley saw this move did not work, so he sat in Lin Mingyang's arms pampering, but this is only to let Lin Mingyang distracted to coax her two sentences, his heart is still mulling over the problem just now.

Some disappointed Fleury was about to sit up from Lin Mingyang's arms, Lin Mingyang suddenly exclaimed, "I found it!"

Before Frehley could react, Lin Ming Yang suddenly gave her a hard kiss on the cheek, then picked her up in a whole horizontal hug and excitedly spun her around in the air twice.

Although she didn't know what had happened, Frehley sensed from Lin Mingyang's joyful expression that it wasn't a bad thing, and before she could even open her mouth to ask, her lips were sealed by Lin Mingyang's death grip.

The two of them were on the sofa for a while against their feet, after taking advantage of enough, Lin Ming Yang then told the plan he had thought of.

"You're paying for the shoot?" Frehley's eyes widened, the expression of surprise on his face was three times greater than before when he learned that the filming plan had been aborted, "But you don't have a movie and television production company in your hands..."

"I've always felt that I should own such a company, so that I don't need to find another agent for my future works!" Lin Ming Yang had actually had this consideration in his heart for a long time, and the unexpected turn of events in Gossip Girl made him decide to bring this matter forward.

"But you're still in college, and the company needs someone to manage it." Frehley knew that Lin Ming Yang did this mostly because of her, and was very touched in her heart, and naturally began to think of Lin Ming Yang in her consideration of the issue.

In Lin Ming Yang's opinion, this is not a difficult task, "The day-to-day management of the work can be handed over to professional managers to take care of, this point you don't have to worry about...the establishment of the company this is still just an idea, let's not talk about this, can you contact that screenwriter now?"

Frehley took out his cell phone from the carry bag he had tossed aside, "I have his number, should I call him now?"

"Of course, the sooner the better!" Lin Ming Yang thought to himself that CW might just be in a bit of financial trouble right now for the time being, and when they came back to this drama, there would be no chance then.

Frehley nodded, "Then what should I say to him on the phone?"

"First we have to make sure that he owns the rights to this drama in his hands, if he's just a screenwriter that CW hired over, then there's nothing I can do!"

Lin Ming Yang had already prepared for the worst, Flatley dialed the phone, but it was delayed and tried twice in a row, the result was the same. She shrugged helplessly towards Lin Ming Yang, "Either he doesn't have a cell phone with him, or he purposely refused to answer my call!"

"You think that one is more likely?"

"He definitely did it on purpose!"

"Very well!" Lin Mingyang sat up violently, "Since he won't pick up the phone, we'll go find him in person!"
