Stepping into the box, Ma Rongzhen immediately saw Lu Chen sitting in the main seat.
Compared with Wan Xiaoquan and Zhang Xiaofang who were sitting next to him, Lu Chen was like a star in the night. He could be distinguished from the crowd at a glance and leave a deep impression.
First of all, he was handsome. Lu Chen's handsomeness was different from the popular handsome men in the entertainment circle. Although he was not extremely handsome, his face was well-defined, his eyebrows were straight, and his nose bridge was straight. He had the firmness and calmness of a young man, which made people instinctively feel that he was a trustworthy person.
"This is the boss of the film company?"
Ma Rongzhen couldn't believe it and couldn't help but be stunned.
To be honest, Wan Xiaoquan was more like a boss, and Lu Chen was a star artist under his company. It was more normal for him to be the male lead of the new film.
While he was stunned, Lu Chen had already stood up with a smile and took the initiative to step forward and extend his hand. "Uncle Ma, I've heard a lot about you!"
After all, Ma Rongzhen was an old man who had been in the entertainment circle for decades. He immediately reacted and shook Lu Chen's hand.
"Hello."
Chen Wenqiang seized the opportunity to introduce, "Brother Ma, this is my current boss, Lu Chen. He is from the mainland and has just opened a film studio in Hong Kong. The office is in Rongjin Building, which has an area of more than 2,000 square feet."
Ma Rongzhen was a native of Hong Kong, so he understood the meaning of Chen Wenqiang's words as soon as he heard it.
Rongjin Building was located in the Xiyingpan business district of West Harbor. Although the rent of West Harbor office buildings was not as high as that of Central and Admiralty, there were a large number of TV stations, newspapers and magazines, and film and television entertainment companies around it. The rent was never cheap, not to mention the area of 2,000 square feet.
Chen Wenqiang was hinting at Lu Chen's strength.
Ma Rongzhen was in awe. "Boss Lu, you are really young and promising!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Uncle Ma, you are my senior. Just call me Lu Chen. Boss Lu sounds awkward."
Having experienced the ups and downs of life, she was used to the fickleness of human nature. Ma Rongzhen was very touched by Lu Chen's respect and politeness. She didn't expect that someone would still respectfully call him "Senior".
The entertainment circle in Hong Kong was a circle where the popular ones were the white ones. Everyone supported the popular stars and trampled on the outdated ones. The younger generation didn't care whether you were a senior or not. They only cared about how popular and how much background you had.
Ma Rongzhen was now working in the Lion Rock Film City, and many people knew him. Even an ordinary handyman dared to order him around.
Although Lu Chen is from the Mainland, with Chen Wenqiang around, it is impossible for him to know nothing about his situation.
It was precisely because of this that Lu Chen's attitude was so precious.
Chen Wenqiang added, "Mr. Lu Chen is a popular star in the mainland. He has released two solo albums and acted in two phenomenal TV series since his debut more than a year ago. This time, he came to Xiangjiang to make a movie."
When Ma Rongzhen heard that, he couldn't describe the feeling in his heart with words.
He didn't doubt that Chen Wenqiang was bragging for Lu Chen, because there was no need to do so. No matter what Lu Chen's identity was, as long as he could come up with the money to hire him to shoot a movie, it was enough.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Let's sit down and talk."
Everyone sat down again, and Chen Wenqiang introduced Wan Xiaoquan and Zhang Xiaofang to Ma Rongzhen.
Ma Rongzhen also introduced his "assistant" Lil Wu to Lu Chen and the others.
Lil Wu sat on the side, trembling with fear. He didn't even dare to breathe heavily.
He had only seen such a scene in movies and TV series before.
It felt a little like a dream.
Chen Wenqiang called the waiter to order. The menu was given to Lu Chen first. Lu Chen randomly ordered a few dishes and handed them to Ma Rongzhen. "Uncle Ma, order whatever you like."
Ma Rongzhen hurriedly refused. "No, I'm fine with anything. You can order."
After a pause, he asked tentatively, "Mr. Lu, have you finished writing the script for the movie?"
Lu Chen handed the menu to Chen Wenqiang and said with a smile, "I've already written the script. If Uncle Ma wants to read it, you can do it now."
He nodded at Zhang Xiaofang, who took out a thick draft paper from his briefcase and handed it to Ma Rongzhen.
"Thank you!"
Ma Rongzhen almost couldn't wait to take it and read it.
He was so serious and engrossed that he even forgot the existence of Lu Chen and the others. It wasn't until the waiter served the first hot dish that he snapped out of his daze.
Although he was already hungry and the aroma of the food was extremely tempting, Ma Rongzhen's mind was not on eating or drinking. He held the script and looked straight at Lu Chen. "Mr. Lu, which screenwriter wrote this script?"
It was so well written!
Although the story was adapted from "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio", there were many wonderful elements added in it. The personalities of the protagonists were distinct, the characters were lifelike, and the story plot was full of ups and downs.
Now, there was a strange phenomenon in the Xiangjiang film and television industry. That was, the script was made up and relied on the celebrities to act cute. The screenwriters were eager for quick success and wanted to cater to the audience's taste, but the result was often the opposite of what they wanted.
The decline of the Xiangjiang film industry was also closely related to the absence of a god-level screenwriter.
Most of the outstanding screenwriters of the older generation had already withered.
Ma Rongzhen had been in the industry for decades. He had filmed many movies and read countless scripts.
The script of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in his hand evoked an impulse that Ma Rongzhen hadn't felt for a long time. It was the impulse of an actor who was eager to try out a good script.
The "Yan Chixia" in the script was simply tailor-made for him!
Ma Rongzhen had a strong feeling that if he missed this movie, he would regret it for the rest of his life!
At this moment, he really wanted to say loudly to Lu Chen, "I'll take this movie, even if it's free!"
However, Ma Rongzhen's remaining rationality made him forcibly suppress his impulse.
That was because he had already lost a lot of points for his performance today.
If he met a shrewd boss, it would be enough for him to play with him in the palm of his hand.
It was impossible for Ma Rongzhen to really not want money. He still had to support his family.
Chen Wenqiang smiled and said, "The script was written by our boss himself. He is also the male lead …"
When he answered, Chen Wenqiang glanced at Lu Chen and used his eyes to ask Lu Chen for instructions.
Lu Chen understood what he meant and nodded slightly.
Chen Wenqiang had good taste. When he first saw Ma Rongzhen, Lu Chen felt that he was very suitable for the role of Yan Chixia, be it in terms of appearance or temperament.
Of course, his temperament was still lacking a lot, but he believed that it would not be a problem for an experienced actor.
After getting Lu Chen's approval, Chen Wenqiang's smile became even brighter. He continued, "I recommended you to him to play Yan Chixia. I wonder if you're interested?"
Are you interested? Are you interested?!
Ma Rongzhen squeezed the script in his hand tightly. There was a loud roar in his heart.
Even his divine soul was trembling!
