Compared to Lu Chen's indifference, Li Zhen was a lot more nervous.
During the period when Lu Chen left Hong Kong and returned to Beijing, under the leadership of Chen Wenqiang, the studio cooperated with Jiayang Pictures to prepare for the shooting of "A Chinese Ghost Story with Qianyang Pictures". Everyone was so busy, and she was no exception.
Because of this, when there was a storm against Lu Chen on the Internet, Li Zhen did not send the news back to Beijing immediately. It was also because of her negligence.
She thought that this matter would be over soon. This was the norm in Hong Kong's entertainment circle. Unless someone pushed it hard, the media's focus would change very quickly. There were so many gossip news every day.
Now that she thought about it, it was a serious matter, so she had to remind Lu Chen, "This Chen Yuanchen is not an ordinary person. He didn't even give face to Liu Tianwang. He wrote an article to scold people."
Lu Chensaid with a smile, "If he is strong, let him be strong."
"Ah?"
Li Zhen was a little confused. Although she didn't quite understand, it sounded very powerful.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's nothing. Let's talk about it when we get back!"
"A Chinese Ghost Story" was about to start shooting. There were a lot of things to be done. Lu Chen didn't have the time and energy to quarrel with others. No matter how sharp Chen Yuanchen was, what could he do if he ignored him?
Those paparazzi and entertainment media must be eager to see the world in chaos. They couldn't wait for Lu Chen and Chen Yuanchen to fight. Lu Chen was not a fool. How could he fall for such a trap!
After returning to Hong Kong Studio, Lu Chen didn't see Chen Wenqiang and Wan Xiaoquan until evening.
"You've worked hard!"
Lu Chen had always been polite to the two important members who had worked hard and made great contributions.
Chen Wenqiang shook his head and said, "It's my duty."
Although his words were modest, there was still a hint of pride in his eyes.
Of course, Chen Wenqiang had a reason to be proud. With his full support and the close cooperation between the studio and Jiayang Pictures, the production team of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was basically completed. The funds, staff, and venue were all in place, and they could start filming at any time.
In this process, Chen Wenqiang could be said to have done all he could, running around cautiously. In particular, he did a lot of work and used a lot of connections to coordinate with the Lion Rock Film City.
As the director of a film studio, Chen Wenqiang's efforts were impeccable!
When Lu Chen was in Beijing, he kept in touch with Chen Wenqiang, so he knew the situation like the back of his hand.
Wan Xiaoquan agreed. "Old Chen really had it hard. I learned a lot from following him around."
He came to Hong Kong more or less to be banished, which was the result of his helpless choice.
However, ever since he came into contact with the local circle of Xiangjiang, Wan Xiaoquan realized that it was not a bad choice to come here. The movie market here was promising, and it was suitable for him to display his abilities again.
Chen Wenqiang laughed and said, "Director Wan is joking with me again. This is all I can do. It's still up to you to film."
The two had been partners for a period of time, and their relationship was quite good.
Seeing such a scene, Lu Chen was completely relieved.
In the evening, Lu Chen acted as the host and booked a big box in a nearby restaurant. He invited the new members of the studio who had just arrived in Hong Kong and the original team to a banquet, which could be regarded as a meeting between the new and the old.
During the banquet, Lu Chen introduced Wan Yong and the others to Chen Wenqiang and Wan Xiaoquan.
"They are a martial arts stunt team signed by our studio. To the public, they are called the Lu Family Squad."
Lu Chen explained in this way, simply using the banner of "Lu Family Squad."
In the Xiangjiang film and television industry, there were many martial arts masters who worked part-time as stunt actors. They had good basic skills and were also very hardworking. They often acted as stunt doubles for star actors to complete some dangerous actions and fight scenes.
Low income and obscurity were the norm for these people.
Chen Wenqiang was inevitably surprised that Lu Chen did not recruit in Hong Kong, but recruited such a young team from the capital, because the cost of such an approach was undoubtedly high.
The price of hiring a stunt martial artist was not expensive, at least it was much cheaper and less troublesome than raising a group of people.
Of course, Chen Wenqiang would not choose to spoil the mood at this time. He was polite to Wan Yong and the others.
However, Chen Wenqiang's disapproval was still felt by Lu Chen. He could more or less guess Chen Wenqiang's thoughts, but now was not the time to explain.
Lu Chen said, "Uncle Qiang, I'll have to trouble you to handle their work visas and residence permits tomorrow."
Mainlanders who wanted to work and live in the three major special zones of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao needed to apply for the corresponding documents, otherwise there would be great trouble in life.
Chen Wenqiang patted his chest and said, "No problem, leave it to me."
Lu Chen was very relieved that he could handle it. He picked up his glass and made a toast to express his gratitude.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone began to talk. Chen Wenqiang told Lu Chen a lot of recent things in the circle, and they talked about the controversy caused by Lu Chen on the Internet.
There was also Chen Yuanchen.
"Chen Yuanchen is one of the representatives of Hong Kong …"
Chen Wenqiang said, "The characteristic of Hong Kong members is that they must put the interests of Hong Kong people first in everything, and reject foreign competition and immigrants. It is said that he intends to run for parliament next year."
"I suspect that it is very likely that he is using you as a target in this matter. The rumors on the Internet are probably deliberately released by someone, so you can't take it lightly. Don't underestimate their incitement."
Previously, Li Zhen told Lu Chen that Chen Yuanchen was very sharp, but Lu Chen did not pay much attention to it. Now that Chen Wenqiang revealed the deep inside story to him, he had to pay attention to it.
In many cases, even if you don't look for trouble, trouble will come to you. Ignoring and avoiding it is not a solution.
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Then find a chance to clarify it. I was almost blocked by reporters at the airport in the afternoon."
He was still very puzzled. How did these reporters know his flight number?
Chen Wenqiang said with a smile, "These paparazzi have very good noses, and they have insiders in all the major airlines. They will know in advance when stars enter and leave the port. In the future, you'd better take the VIP passage."
Lu Chen said that he had learned his lesson — this trick was very sophisticated.
Chen Wenqiang continued, "If you want to clarify the truth, then don't look for these paparazzi. They specialize in writing nonsense. It's better to be on TV programs."
He said to Li Zhen, "Zhen, pay attention to which TV stations will send invitations these days."
Li Zhen nodded. "Okay."
As a result, Chen Wenqiang was right. On the second day after Lu Chen returned to Hong Kong, three TV stations sent invitations!
