Zhou Yun was really afraid of owing favors.
Despite feeling that she was already friends with Gu Huaichun.
She knew that asking Gu Huaichun for help would only add to his troubles.
Gu Huaichun had a company, and unlike her fortunate acquisition of autonomy in filming, he wasn't as lucky.
Every film Gu Huaichun shot was arranged for him by Yuehai.
Asking for his help might lead him to negotiate with the company for the sake of their friendship, but it would definitely bring him troubles, maybe even forcing him to agree to other demands from the company.
A lack of control over one's own fate.
Zhou Yun could relate very well.
So Zhou Yun didn't want to make Gu Huaichun feel uncomfortable.
Choosing a newcomer would be better.
Zhou Yun said, "It would be best if it were a complete newcomer, with no talent agency. That way, you could sign them under your own wing."
