The judges were arguing!
Lu Chen had eyes to see, ears to hear, and he wasn't stupid. How could he not understand?
Director Yan Chengyi undoubtedly appreciated and supported him, but this Manager Gong obviously had other plans.
And it was most likely a representative of the investors.
Otherwise, Yan Chengyi wouldn't be so helpless. It should be known that the power of film and TV series directors is usually very high.
Although before Alchuang Film and Television Production Company, Lu Chen wasn't sure that the role belonged to him, and failing the audition and being rejected was one of the expected situations …
But he was still a little upset.
Since the role has been decided internally, why bother asking me to come over? Is this interesting?
Of course, on the surface, Lu Chen still remained calm and said with a faint smile, "Thank you, Director Yan, thank you, teachers."
There was no need to lose his temper. The entertainment industry was never a fairy tale world. It was a very naive idea to expect everything to be fair and just. Only when you are strong enough to make people look up to you can you have the ability to make rules.
Manager Gong smiled and said, "There is still a chance, please wait for our notice."
In fact, she also had a very good impression of Lu Chen and understood that Lu Chen was completely competent for the role of Chen Yaoyang.
But she knew better whose meal she was eating and who she was working for.
So she could only say sorry.
Yan Chengyi watched with great regret as Lu Chen turned around and walked out of the conference room, and he couldn't help clenching his fists.
He said expressionlessly, "Next!"
When Lu Chen came out, the man with peach blossom eyes had just stood up.
The two people's eyes happened to meet.
Lu Chen saw a hint of pride and mockery in the other party's eyes.
He knew in his heart that this was probably the internally decided candidate.
After leaving Alchuang, Lu Chen returned to the studio.
Seeing Lu Xi, his sister asked with concern, "How was the audition? Did you pass? "
Li Feiyu, Chen Xin and others also pricked up their ears.
If Lu Chen could star in a TV series, that would be really great. He would develop in all aspects of film, TV, and song, and become a triple superstar!
Lu Chen shook his head and said, "I was rejected. They have already decided internally."
"Damn!"
His elder sister cursed, which was rare for her. "How could they do that?"
She was really angry.
Although Lu Chen can't be compared with the top stars on the same line, he first won the championship of "Singing China", and then his album sold well. The fans of Waves blog are more than 10 million, and he can't be regarded as an ordinary person.
In the end, he still couldn't resist the unspoken rules of others. He felt like he had been played badly.
Lu Chen comforted her instead, "It's okay. There will be many opportunities in the future. The director actually thinks highly of me."
Lu Xi rolled her eyes at him and asked, "How do you know they're not singing a duet?"
Lu Chen smiled bitterly.
He was not 100% sure, but Yan Chengyi should be quite sincere.
However, there was really no point in saying all this now.
Lu Xi didn't want to continue hurting her brother, so she said, "I have some good news on my side …"
Lu Chen perked up. "What news?"
Lu Xi said, "The new contract with Whale TV has basically been finalized!"
The new contract between Lu Chen and [Whale TV] has been negotiated by Lu Xi for some time.
Now, there is finally a result.
In fact, the difference between the two sides is not very big, and the desire to continue cooperation is very strong. The main problem is the signing fee and the length of the anchor. Lu Xi is working hard to fight for the greatest benefits for Lu Chen.
The finalresult was to terminate the original contract and re-sign a new one-year contract. Lu Chen will become the star spokesperson of [Whale TV], with an endorsement fee of 3.8 million yuan after tax!
In addition, the proportion of gifts has been increased by 5%. Lu Chen also has to participate in website-related promotional activities, and there are requirements for live broadcast time and exclusivity.
Both sides are very satisfied with this contract.
The endorsement fee of 3.8 million yuan, if added with personal income tax, is almost 5 million yuan.
In fact, the endorsement fee for external publicity is 5 million yuan!
Compared with Lu Chen's current value, this amount of money is definitely more than a lot, which is conducive to promoting his position.
However, [Whale TV] will never suffer a loss.
Lu Chen's miraculous rise in [Whale TV] has brought a lot of popularity resources to the platform, and has also attracted more excellent anchors to join. The effect of publicity and advertising is completely worth such a price tag.
The most important thing is that Lu Chen's future development is limitless. It is definitely better to sign early than to sign late.
It is a win-win situation!
Hearing that there are millions of yuan in his account, Lu Chen is of course very happy.
Some time ago, in order to pay off his family's debts and redeem his own villa, he sold his online crowdfunding shares along with a large part of the studio's liquidity.
And the daily expenses of the studio are not a small amount. With this endorsement fee, there is no problem.
Lu Chen plans to buy a larger house in Beijing before the end of the year.
He still has to work hard to make money and make more money!
Therefore, Lu Chen quickly put the audition behind him and regarded it as a joke.
However, things are not as simple as he thought.
The next afternoon, when Lu Chen was practicing the piano in the studio, Lu Xi came over with a laptop.
She angrily pointed out the web page opened on the screen to Lu Chen.
What was displayed on the screen was entertainment news from a certain website. The content was that the second season of the recently popular TV series "Urban Love" was about to start filming, and the currently popular little fresh meat artist Jiang Dongjun would play an important new supporting role.
Originally, this kind of soft propaganda was very common and could be found everywhere in major entertainment media and websites, but this news also specifically mentioned Lu Chen, saying that Lu Chen also participated in the audition, and the director still chose Jiang Dongjun.
His sister was simply filled with righteous indignation: "They are using you as a stepping stone and stepping on you to hype up!"
The same entertainment gossip news was not only on this website, but there were also many searches, including blogs, post bars, forums and other places, which were obviously premeditated hype.
What a fuck!
Even a clay figurine has three points of anger, and Lu Chen was not an emotionless animal. How could he not be angry and annoyed when he was stepped on like this?
Lu Xi asked, "Should we make a statement to fight back?"
She was really angry.
Lu Chen suppressed the anger in his heart, shook his head calmly and said, "No need."
How to say it? He did participate in the audition and was indeed rejected. Could he say that the other party played the unspoken rules?
Such a verbal war without any real substance would make people feel that they couldn't afford to lose.
And it would also give the other party more opportunities to hype up!
Lu Xi should understand the truth, but she was confused by anger.
Even if it was a counterattack, it needed to be done in a more clever and powerful way!
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Don't pay attention to them for the time being. I'll change to a new TV series!"
"A new TV series?"
Lu Xi was stunned and asked, "Is there another crew looking for you?"
"Of course not …"
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Sister, let's invest in a weekend TV series ourselves. What do you think?"
Lu Xi suddenly opened her eyes wide. "Invest in a weekend TV series ourselves?"
She felt that her mind was a little confused. Or was Lu Chen's mind confused?
Shoot a TV series himself? How could it be so simple!
Lu Chen explained, "Of course, I'll find a strong company to cooperate with. I'll write the script, I'll play the lead role, and I'll add a part of the studio's investment."
Lu Xi was surprised. "You can write scripts?"
Lu Chen smiled.
He had experienced three lives in his dream, namely, the singer Xu Bo, the actor Mo Ran, and the freelance writer Fang Mingyi, who had written scripts before.
Moreover, there were many classic films and TV series and literary works in the dream world. Through Xu Bo, Mo Ran, and Fang Mingyi, they were so vivid and clear in his memory that he could completely reproduce them!
At present, with his current situation, he couldn't make the best movies for the time being, but there was no problem with making a popular TV series, and there was also room for operation.
Especially the format of shooting and broadcasting at the same time on weekends, which could control the cost very well.
Originally, Lu Chen planned to accumulate some experience in his acting career first, and then consider making his own TV series or even movies, but now that he had encountered such a situation, he simply played it big.
If he couldn't even play a supporting role, then he would be the lead role!
Lu Xi was more and more unable to understand her brother, and her expression was a little strange.
Lu Chen couldn't explain too much, so he said, "Don't worry, I won't mess around."
Ring ring ~
As soon as his voice fell, the mobile phone on the piano stand rang.
Lu Chen picked up the mobile phone and looked at the caller ID. He made a gesture to his sister that he was going to answer it.
Lu Xi glared at him and left the room.
It was his other sister, Sister Fei, who called Lu Chen.
On the phone, Chen Fei 'er asked bluntly, "Did you go to the audition for Alchuang?"
Lu Chen didn't expect that even she knew about this. He said with a wry smile, "Yes."
Chen Fei 'er said with a smile, "Now you know the complexity of the circle, don't you? That Jiang Dongjun is predetermined, and the reputation of Alchuang's investors is not very good. If you really want to make a movie or TV series, I can help you recommend a few reliable friends. "
Lu Chen's heart couldn't help but feel warm.
Chen Fei 'er was obviously very concerned about his situation. Not only did she know about it in the first place, but she also went to inquire about the inside story.
He said sincerely, "Thank you, Sister Fei 'er. I may really need your help. I have a script in my hand that I want to shoot and I want to find a partner."
Chen Fei 'er asked curiously, "What script?"
Lu Chen said, "I wrote the script myself, and it hasn't been written yet."
Chen Fei 'er said with a smile, "Then you write it for me first. If the story is good, I will help you recommend it."
She obviously didn't believe that Lu Chen could write a good script, but her intention to help remained unchanged.
Lu Chen was overjoyed. "That's great. I'll treat you to dinner tonight!"
Chen Fei 'er was reserved. "There are a lot of people who want to treat me to dinner. You have to show your sincerity, but not tonight."
Lu Chen was not discouraged. "Then tomorrow night …"
He was very sincere.
