When Lu Chen came to Jinling again, it was raining.
The drizzle was like smoke and fog. This ancient and modern city was extraordinarily beautiful in the rain. It was gentle, elegant, and lingering, as if an elegant lady from the Tang and Song Dynasties was quietly waiting for his arrival.
It was hard to describe this feeling in words.
Lu Chen stayed in the same five-star hotel near the Jinling Film and Television City.
The crew of "Autumn in My Heart" had already assembled in the Film and Television City a few days ago. They could start shooting as soon as the actors arrived.
As one of the three major film and television cities in China, Jinling Film and Television City's service facilities were in place. Any crew that came here didn't need to worry about food, accommodation, and travel. The Film and Television City would help solve the worries.
Therefore, in the past, it often took a year or more to shoot 30 to 40 episodes of TV series. Now, it was normal to shoot two episodes a week for weekend shows. If special effects were not needed in the post-production, then it could be shot this week and appear on the TV screen the next week. The efficiency was very high.
Of course, this was the ideal situation, because there were often all kinds of unexpected situations in the shooting work. Even if the TV station cooperated, they still needed to arrange the broadcast time in advance.
In the hotel's business suite, Lu Chen first met Chen Fei 'er, who came a day earlier than him, as well as Sister Li and her baby son, Zhang Junzhi.
In the TV series "Autumn in My Heart", Lu Chen played the male lead, and Zhang Junzhi played the role of his youth. This handsome boy had just turned 15 years old this year. He was 1.70 meters tall and looked at least 70% similar to his father.
If he grew taller and bigger, he would undoubtedly be an idol that could charm thousands of girls!
Sister Li was obviously very proud of her son.
"Ah!"
Zhang Junzhi was very outgoing and didn't have the slightest shyness. When he saw Lu Chen, he immediately shouted in surprise. He put down the tablet he was playing with and ran over.
He smiled and bowed to Lu Chen. "Hello, Brother Lu Chen!"
Sister Li said, "How can you call him brother? You should call him uncle! "
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Sister Li, I'm not that old. Just call him brother!"
He nodded and smiled at Zhang Junzhi. "Hello, Zhang Junzhi."
Zhang Junzhi proudly made a victory gesture to his mother, and then said eagerly, "Brother Lu Chen, I want to learn martial arts from you, and I also want to learn guitar from you. You play the guitar so well, and I want to know how you got Sister Fei 'er … Ah!"
Before he could finish, one of his ears was twisted by Chen Fei'er.
The Heavenly Queen sneered, "Little Zhi, you're being naughty again. It looks like I haven't taught you enough?"
Zhang Junzhi grimaced and said with a bitter face, "Sister Fei 'er, I know I was wrong …"
Chen Fei 'er had a good relationship with Sister Li and treated Zhang Junzhi like a younger brother.
However, this younger brother of hers was very mischievous, and Sister Li spoiled him a lot. Therefore, sometimes when she couldn't stand it, she would have to discipline him.
Everything has its vanquisher. Zhang Junzhi was not afraid of anything, but he was afraid of Chen Fei'er.
Lu Chen nodded. "If you want to learn guitar from me, there's no problem. First, you have to act well."
Chen Fei'er let go of his hand. Zhang Junzhi rubbed his red ear, patted his chest and said, "Brother Chen, don't worry. I've shot commercials and acted in plays. I promise I won't let you down!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Then it's a deal."
Sister Li said seriously, "Lu Chen, don't spoil him like I do. If he needs to be beaten, scolded, scolded. If he does something wrong, just criticize him. You don't have to consider my relationship with him."
Although Sister Li doted on Zhang Junzhi, it was not the kind of unrestrained doting. Zhang Junzhi liked singing and acting, and was destined to enter the entertainment industry. Therefore, in this aspect, she was very serious in disciplining him.
If a star wanted to stay in the industry for a long time, networking was very important. Although she could help her son, Zhang Junzhi had to walk his own path in the future.
No one liked a spoiled child, and the earth would not revolve around anyone!
Therefore, this time, Sister Li used her relationship with Chen Fei'er to put Zhang Junzhi into the crew of "Autumn in My Heart". It was to pave the way for him and also to sharpen and train him.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Okay, but the key still depends on the director."
Chen Fei'er said, "Let's go see Director Fang together."
The director of "Autumn in My Heart" finally fell on Fang Hui, who was recommended by Lu Chen.
The partner, Qiande Brothers Pictures, originally coveted this position. They had signed several directors, but in the end, they respected Lu Chen's opinion.
In return, most of the other important supporting roles and small roles were signed artists under Qiande Brothers Pictures or candidates recommended by related stakeholders.
There were at least dozens of roles in a TV series, and it was unknown how many people wanted to ask for a cameo with only a few lines, but they couldn't get it. The interests involved were great.
Especially those TV series produced by big directors, they were simply the meat of Tang Seng.
Originally, if it was just Lu Chen's own selfie, perhaps not many people would be interested. But since the news that Chen Fei'er would play the leading role was announced, and it became a hot topic on blogs, there were really too many entertainment agencies and actors calling Lu Chen Studio.
However, they were destined to be disappointed. This time, the fertile water would basically not flow into the fields of outsiders.
The group left the hotel and went to the Qun Arts Village, which belonged to the Film City.
The Qun Arts Village of Jinling Film City was actually an apartment-style hotel for the crew to stay. Although the conditions were certainly not as good as those of a five-star hotel, the advantages were that all kinds of facilities were very complete, and the price was low.
It was not the first time that Qiande Brothers Pictures had come to Jinling Film City to shoot, so they were very familiar with everything. They had already completed the preparation work. They booked two floors as the base camp of the crew, and they could start work at any time.
In the conference room of the "base camp", Lu Chen met Director Fang Hui, as well as the actors who played the girl Yin Enxi, Han Taixi, Choi Xinai, Shen Youmei, and other important supporting roles.
Fang Hui was also very happy to see Lu Chen.
When she received a call from Lu Chen for the first time, inviting her to direct "Autumn in My Heart", she couldn't believe it.
Fang Hui and Lu Chen were not very familiar with each other, and they did not have a deep friendship. They had only worked together on a music video.
Although after the shooting of the music video, they had said that they would work together again if there was a chance.
But everyone knew that it was just a polite remark.
Therefore, she was really very surprised, especially when she heard that the female lead of this TV series was Chen Fei 'er. She felt as if she had been hit by a pie falling from the sky.
As a director, Fang Hui was a little famous in the film and television industry, but it was completely incomparable to the real big stars. Her status was equivalent to that of a second or third-tier star. Some people would hire her, but they would not spend a lot of money and effort to hire her.
And with Chen Fei 'er's status, it was easy to find a director of the same level!
So when she learned that Lu Chen was not joking, she did not hesitate to agree. She did not even mention how much the director's salary was — such an opportunity was too rare!
Especially after reading the script of "Autumn in My Heart", this feeling of luck was even stronger.
Fang Hui liked this story very much.
In addition to Fang Hui and the actors, there were also production directors, brokerage managers, assistant directors, cameramen and so on from Qiande Pictures, including Lu Yi, who had dealt with Lu Chen before.
For this TV series, Qiande Pictures could be said to have sent out all the elites, and even suspended a TV series that was originally being prepared to shoot "Autumn in My Heart" with all their might.
Lu Yi introduced the other actors to Lu Chen with great enthusiasm.
The actress who played the young girl, Yin Enxi, was called Ye Mingmei. She was only 14 years old this year. She was slender and beautiful. She was still a student in the third year of junior high school. Her father had a good relationship with the boss of Qiande Pictures, so she was recommended to the crew.
Compared with Zhang Junzhi's lively and active personality, Ye Mingmei was undoubtedly a well-behaved girl. She spoke softly and softly. When she greeted Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er, she blushed and looked quite cute.
Chen Fei 'er liked her very much. He took her little hand and chatted with her a little more.
Han Taixi, the first male supporting role, was a new artist of Qiande Pictures, Hu Yang, who had just made his debut. He was two years younger than Lu Chen. He dressed up with the temperament of a rich second generation, which was quite in line with the characters in the TV series. He belonged to the popular young idol.
However, in front of Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er, Hu Yang did not have the slightest arrogance and was very polite and respectful.
Because he knew very well who was really in charge of this crew.
As for the actors who played Cui Xinai and Shen Youmei, they were also carefully selected by Qiande Pictures. They did not have much fame in the circle, but they all had rich acting experience.
In addition, there were several less important actors, some were recommended by Sister Li, and some were relatives of Qiande Pictures.
With the arrival of Lu Chen, the crew was really complete, and everyone had a small meeting first.
The content of the meeting was mainly about tomorrow's opening ceremony and shooting work. In addition, they also talked about the premiere.
Relying on the popularity stirred up on the Internet, there were currently four or five medium-sized TV stations looking for Lu Chen and Chen Fei 'er Studio, as well as Qiande Pictures, in addition to big TV stations such as Beijing TV Station, Haijin TV Station, and Zhedong TV Station.
The opinion of Qiande Pictures was to choose two strong and sincere first-run TV stations from them. It didn't matter if the price was low, but they must ensure that it was broadcast in prime time and the key to profit was on the replay.
The crew meeting ended after more than an hour.
Lu Chen, Chen Fei 'er, and Sister Li returned to the hotel, but he and Chen Fei' er quietly went out again.
