Jinhui Building, Alchuang Film and Television Production Company.
Inside the office, Yan Chengyi closed the web page that was opened on the browser and sighed heavily.
What he had just closed was the page of the Waves blog.
What made the director sigh was the news that had been circulating on the blog in the past two days. That was, Chen Fei 'er was going to shoot a TV series, and the actor she was going to work with was Lu Chen, who had been rumored to have a scandal.
This series, called "Autumn in My Heart", has been hyped up before it started shooting. The scriptwriter was actually Lu Chen, a young man who rose rapidly in the pop music world and showed his ambition to develop in the film and television industry.
Originally, Alchuang Film and Television could have signed him!
Thinking of this, Yan Chengyi was really helpless. He racked his brains to prepare for the shooting of the second season of "Urban Love" and chose Lu Chen as an important supporting actor in the new series. In addition to his appearance and strength and other factors, he also took a fancy to the latter's popularity among young people.
The tens of millions of fans in Lu Chen's Waves blog could at least increase the ratings by a few tenths of a point.
As a result, he never expected that he was made a fool of by the investors during the audition. He rejected Lu Chen and replaced him with the so-called little fresh meat, Jiang Dongjun, and took away the role of Chen Yaoyang.
Yan Chengyi felt that his face had been slapped swollen!
During the shooting of the first season of "Urban Love", he had a little conflict with the investors. He thought that this kind of work disagreement would not affect the cooperation between the two sides, but it turned out that he was still naive.
For Jiang Dongjun, to be honest, Yan Chengyi really disdained him. Apart from a feminine face, he had no acting skills and no strength. How could he play a handsome, brave and extraordinary policeman like Chen Yaoyang?
Thinking that he still had to pinch his nose to shoot this TV series, he was really a little discouraged.
As for Lu Chen's decision to shoot a TV series, Director Yan secretly sneered.
He knew that this was Lu Chen's powerful counterattack against Jiang Dongjun and the people behind Jiang Dongjun.
Although Yan Chengyi was not young, his attention to the Internet was no less than that of young people. He knew clearly that Jiang Dongjun and his agency had stepped on Lu Chen in different media to hype up.
The entertainment industry was just that sinister.
Lu Chen had always ignored this and maintained his silence, not giving them any more opportunities to hype up.
But his silence was obviously not because he was swallowing the insult and retreating, but because he was retracting his fist first.
Then, it was a heavy blow!
This punch was very beautiful. It directly pulled out a big shot like Chen Fei 'er. The publicity effect was a hundred times better than Jiang Dongjun's little tricks. It was a slap in the face.
What are you pretending to be? I'm too lazy to play with you. If you want to play, let's play it big!
Yan Chengyi silently filled in the lines for Lu Chen. He could even guess that this "Autumn in My Heart" would probably compete head-on with the second season of "Urban Love" in the ratings. At that time, there would really be a good show to watch.
As the director of "Urban Love", Yan Chengyi was somewhat gloating.
Although he has not seen the script yet, his intuition tells the director that with Chen Fei'er's participation, "Autumn in My Heart" is likely to be a hit and sell well, and "Urban Love" will be completely destroyed.
Unless "Urban Love" staggered the time and did not collide with the other party.
But is that possible?
Yan Chengyi shook his head.
Alchuang Film and Television and the investors have already finished their preparations, and the publicity has also begun. There is no reason to postpone it.
Yan Chengyi suddenly had the idea of giving up on continuing to direct.
He didn't want to be a scapegoat!
Compared with Yan Chengyi's lack of confidence, Zhu Minghe, the deputy manager of Baolong Pictures' production department, was much more confident!
He also saw the news that was spreading on the Internet, but he didn't take it seriously.
To be honest, Lu Chen actually invited Chen Fei'er to be the female lead in the play, which surprised Zhu Minghe.
If Lu Chen had invited Chen Fei'er out when he was talking at the time, it would still have been negotiable.
Now that he has missed it, Zhu Minghe didn't feel much pity.
"If his show can't succeed, it's the same with Chen Fei'er …"
Zhu Minghe confidently said to his immediate boss, the deputy general manager and art director of Baolong Pictures, "It's too cruel. The audience won't like it. Chen Fei'er's salary can't be low. The risk of our investment is too great!"
"The most important thing is that Lu Chen's offer is very high, and I can't agree to it at all."
The art director of Baolong Pictures, whose surname was Wu, was also an old fox who had been in the circle for a long time. He nodded and said meaningfully, "If that's the case, then there's no problem. You know what to do."
Zhu Minghe smiled and said, "Boss Wu, I understand."
After Director Wu left, Zhu Minghe sat back in his chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip.
But he found that the tea was already cold.
He frowned, and there was a layer of haze in his heart, which made him feel indescribably unhappy.
"This thing …"
It's true that people sit at home and disaster comes from the sky!
Zhu Minghe complained about Sister Li, the general manager of Beijing's Rainbow Brokerage Company.
If the other party hadn't introduced Lu Chen, he wouldn't have been involved in this mess and upset.
Zhu Minghe's confidence in front of Director Wu was actually mostly pretended!
Chen Fei'er's card was too unexpected.
He suddenly regretted his attitude towards Lu Chen at that time. He really didn't pay enough attention to him.
At the same time, in the Blue Court Cafe on the top floor of the Jinghua Hotel adjacent to the Blue Sky Entrepreneurial Park, Sister Li, who Zhu Minghe was complaining about, was sitting with Chen Fei'er and Lu Chen.
Sister Li's full name was Li Zhenzhen. It was said that when she was a teenager, she came to Beijing from the inland countryside to make a living after graduating from junior high school. She worked as a waiter in a restaurant, swept the streets, sold insurance, and then seized the opportunity to squeeze into the circle. She started from a small assistant and finally became the general manager of a sizable brokerage company.
Her life experience could be made into a long TV series!
Sister Li was very fat. Her weight of more than 200 pounds made her whole body round. Her appearance was quite festive. When she smiled, she looked like a female version of Maitreya Buddha. She also wore a pair of small gold-rimmed glasses.
In Beijing's circle, Sister Li was famous for her forthright and righteous character. She rarely treated the contracted artists of Rainbow Agency harshly, and if anyone wanted to leave, she would never deliberately make things difficult.
But she was also very shrewd. She had a wide network in the industry, especially in the upper echelons. She was very successful in the circle, and not many people dared to look down on her.
Of course, Lu Chen didn't dare to look down on her. His attitude was polite and respectful.
Sister Li had a very good relationship with Chen Fei'er. She helped her a lot in her early years. Originally, Lu Chen was in contact with Baolong Pictures. It was this big sister who introduced them. Unfortunately, it didn't work out, and in the end, it fell to Qiande Pictures.
Regarding this result, Sister Li complained to Chen Fei'er, "You should have told me earlier that you wanted to be the female lead. Then I wouldn't have introduced Baolong Pictures to you. You should have talked to China Film and China Television, right?"
China Film and China Television were giants in the film and television industry. They were the real giants.
Sister Li wasn't bragging. She really had the means to approach China Film and China Television.
Chen Fei'er smiled and said, "Sister Li, how could China Film and China Television like him? Even if the script is chosen, he has no chance as the male lead. I don't want you to owe me a big favor."
In the eyes of China Film and China Television, there was indeed no small figure like Lu Chen. Chen Fei'er was barely qualified. It was impossible for Lu Chen to raise conditions with these two giants. That would be meaningless.
Good cooperation required equal qualifications.
It was better to be a chicken's mouth than a cow's tail. Chen Fei'er, of course, understood the principle.
Sister Li said with a smile, "You are so considerate of him. Are you two really in a relationship?"
Chen Fei'er suddenly blushed. "Sister Li, we are just friends!"
Sister Li smiled and shook her head. She said to Lu Chen, "Xiao Lu, Fei'er is so good to you. Don't let her down."
What kind of person was she? How could she not see the ambiguous relationship between the two?
Lu Chen could only smile bitterly. It wasn't good for him to agree, but it was also wrong not to agree. He didn't know how to answer.
Fortunately, Sister Li didn't continue to pursue the matter. She said the purpose of meeting with Lu Chen this time. "Xiao Lu, I have read the script of 'Romance in My Life'. I want a role. Is that okay?"
Lu Chen said without hesitation, "No problem!"
He didn't ask which role.
Previously, when Chen Fei'er called him and said that Sister Li wanted to meet him, she told him a lot of things.
Therefore, Lu Chen knew that this big sister was one of Chen Fei'er's benefactors in life. She had helped him a lot.
Most importantly, Sister Li had a lot of connections in the entertainment circle, which was very helpful to Lu Chen's career.
Now that she took the initiative to make a request, if Lu Chen hesitated and was overcautious, not only would he lose points, but he would also embarrass Chen Fei'er — his performance would be too bad.
Sister Li was very curious. "You agreed so quickly without asking which role it is. What if I want the male lead?"
Lu Chen said casually, "If Sister Li really wants the male lead, it's not a problem at all!"
Lu Chen wasn't pretending to be polite. He could write a lot of classic scripts. As long as he could open up the scene, he would have a chance to be the male lead in the future.
Of course, he agreed so quickly because it was obvious that Sister Li was joking.
However, Sister Li was very satisfied and happy. She said to Chen Fei'er, "Fei'er, the boy you chose is really good. You have to hold on to him tightly. Don't let him run away."
Chen Fei'er covered his face with his hands.
After Sister Li made Chen Fei'er so embarrassed that he couldn't face anyone, she smiled and said to Lu Chen, "Actually, I really want the male lead, but it's a young male lead. It's my son who has been clamoring to act, so this time I'll give him a chance!"
Lu Chen suddenly understood.
The first few episodes of 'Romance in My Life' required a young male and female lead. There weren't many scenes, but it was still very important.
