Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 296 294. Party A and Party B? I want to be an investor!

"Drinking is harmful to your health!"

Chen Li'an rubbed his temples that were about to explode and looked at the rising sun outside the window. He couldn't help but squint his eyes.

Next to Chen Li'an, Xu Qing was lying there sleeping in a daze, and the sunlight seemed to shine on her body.

The beautiful light and shadow, the soft and sexy curves, and the delicate and smooth skin made Chen Li'an couldn't help but look at it and raise his hand to slap it!

Let you sleep! Get up and have breakfast!

It feels so good. While Chen Li'an was still reminiscing, Xu Qing had already woken up with a frown on her face. Seeing Chen Li'an's energetic declaration of war flag, she murmured, turned over and hugged him, and said, "Please let me sleep for a while."

"Have breakfast, why don't you sleep?"

"Where's the breakfast? Go to sleep for a while and stop making trouble."

"Why not? You can't leave out any breakfast meat, eggs or milk!"

Xu Qing opened her eyes and looked at the bad guy. Only then did she understand what the meat, eggs and milk for breakfast were. The nutrition was quite balanced!

Just eat! Who is afraid of whom! I can’t believe I’ll lose to you today!

Xu Qing, who refused to admit defeat, quickly understood that it was not unreasonable for some people to have so many disposable toiletries at home.

Near noon, Xu Qing and Chen Li'an went downstairs together, but one was full of energy and the other was hanging limply on Chen Li'an.

Li Juan had no reaction to this scene at this time, and sent Xu Qing home first according to Chen Li'an's instructions.

After sending Xu Qing away, Chen Li'an went to the company.

It's already early May, and the preparations for Returning the Pearl are almost complete, but the casting has not yet been completed. Chen Li'an has mentioned several actors to Chen Meiren before, but I don't know if she has found them yet.

When Chen Li'an arrived at the company, there were so many people at the door that Chen Li'an didn't even want to get out of the car.

"Why are there so many people?" Chen Li'an asked with a frown.

Li Juan immediately replied: "I have been casting for the past few days. They are all here for auditions."

Chen Li'an frowned, feeling that if he got out of the car, he might not even be able to enter the company and would be surrounded.

"Trouble, we should arrange a hotel interview." Chen Li'an muttered, opened the door and got out of the car.

Li Juan parked the car and quickly followed up to prevent anyone from recognizing Chen Li'an and rushing over to ask for an autograph or something. What if she was eaten by a female fan?

Chen Li'an lowered his head and squeezed in the crowd. Maybe because he had just had a haircut, no one recognized him, but he managed to squeeze in smoothly.

After entering the company, the front desk saw that Chen Li'an was about to speak out when he was stopped by Chen Li'an.

Looking at Chen Li'an's gesture at the front desk, he immediately understood that there were so many actors coming to audition today, and if things went wrong it would turn into a fan meeting.

After Chen Li'an entered the company, he went directly to Liu Tao and asked, "Where are Mr. Chen and Dabai?"

Liu Tao immediately replied: "I'm auditioning with the director. Teacher Chen, do you want to come over?"

Chen Li'an: "I won't go. Come to the office and report the specific situation to me."

In the office, Liu Tao and Chen Li'an explained the situation of returning the pearl in detail. It was already decided that Ziwei was Chen Zihan and Yanzi was Fan Bingbing. Qiong Yao didn't say much.

As for the actor Qiong Yao, he still recommended Su Youpeng to play Yongqi and Chen Zhipeng to play Forte. Chen Meiren has already agreed to this. It will be easier for Huanzhu to enter the Wanwan market with Su Youpeng and Chen Zhipeng joining the cast.

As for the role of Erkang, it hasn't been decided yet. This is the role auditioned today. As for Queen Golden Lock and Grandma Rong, they haven't been decided either.

Teachers Li Mingqi and Dai Chunrong recommended by Chen Li'an were not directly chosen by Chen Meiren.

As for the role of the emperor, Chen Meiren wanted to find Zhang Tieling, but Chen Li'an rejected it at the time.

This old man is so good at pretending, it's hard to like such a person.

Even if you look for Zhang Guoli, you won't look for Zhang Tielin.

After Liu Tao finished talking about the actors' situation, he added: "The plan is to start filming in July. Once the actors are finalized in the next few days, training will begin."

Chen Li'an nodded and said to Liu Tao: "Go and remind Mr. Chen that the role of Aunt Rong must be played by Teacher Li Mingqi. Well, if you give me a little more salary, it will be considered as compensation."

Liu Tao didn't understand what this compensation meant, but he obediently agreed.

After chatting with Liu Tao for a while, Chen Li'an asked her to call Chen Zihan and Fan Bingbing. These are the two most critical people in this drama and must be taught well.

These two people were also in the company today and came over soon. Chen Zihan wanted to pounce on Chen Li'an as soon as he entered the office. Jiang Qingqing went to Wanwan to film Jiangsu's "The Sky Has Tears". No one can beat her anymore!

She's going to enjoy the feast alone tonight! A master-servant game for just two people!

But before she could pounce on Chen Li'an, Chen Li'an put his finger on her forehead.

"As for the company, pay attention to your image." Chen Li'an gave Chen Zihan a hard tap on the forehead, making her take a step back and almost bumping into Fan Bingbing who was following behind.

Fan Bingbing looked at Chen Li'an and Chen Zihan like this, and no matter how young he was, he understood that the relationship between these two people was not simple.

However, I was very surprised. Chen Meiren brought her children to the company two days ago. Chen Li'an didn't accept this?

Scumbag! A complete scumbag!

Chen Li'an glanced at Fan Bingbing, who had not been polluted by the entertainment industry, and then said to Chen Zihan: "In the future, you should pay attention to your behavior in the company and don't lead the newcomers into bad ways."

"Oh." Chen Zihan said a little aggrievedly. The first lady in the company has no face at all!

Chen Li'an looked at the two of them and said: "Your roles have been decided. You must seize this opportunity. I am very optimistic about this drama, otherwise I would not have spent so much money to get it from Qiong Yao."

Hearing what Chen Li'an said, Chen Zihan and Fan Bingbing suddenly felt very stressed. The two of them were not newbies, and they had no reputation at all.

They were all worried that their performance would be ruined.

Chen Li'an didn't want to put so much pressure on them, so he said, "Just act as you are. The most important thing is to relax, listen to the director, and don't be restrained."

Chen Zihan and Fan Bingbing immediately nodded like chickens pecking at rice, still feeling very uneasy.

"It doesn't matter if you don't perform well. The worst you can do is lose some money, and you will gain experience." Chen Li'an paused for a moment and then said: "But I hope you will seize this opportunity and fly into the sky, otherwise you may not have such a good opportunity next time. ”

Chen Zihan took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, I will perform well and I will definitely be more popular than Jiang Qingqing in the future!"

Fan Bingbing didn't have Chen Zihan's obsession, but he still promised: "I promise not to disappoint Teacher Chen!"

Chen Li'an smiled and said, "As long as you have this confidence, you can always come to me if you don't understand anything about the performance."

"Then I'll go find you tonight!" Chen Zihan said immediately.

Fan Bingbing originally wanted to agree, but when he heard Chen Zihan said that he would go find Chen Li'an in the evening, he held back his words.

She couldn't go to Chen Li'an at night.

Chen Li'an smiled and said, "Okay, let's get to work."

Chen Zihan and Fan Bingbing walked away grandly together. Chen Li'an sat there and waited for a while, but Chen Meiren never finished, so he was too lazy to wait any longer.

Everyone was so busy that Chen Li'an didn't even have a chance to find someone to eat with, so why not go find Bai Qing? I don't know if she has finished painting recently, as Venice is about to start.

After Chen Li'an secretly came out of the company, he was about to go to the studio when his cell phone rang. When he took it out, he saw that it was Han Shanping's number. He was a little surprised as to why he was looking for him.

"Hey, Director Han, why did you remember to call me?"

In the director's office of Beijing Film Studio, Feng Xiaogang looked nervously at Han Shanping on the phone.

Han Shanping heard Chen Li'an's voice and said with a smile: "Haha, Li'an blames me for not having enough contact with you?"

"No, no, you're welcome." Chen Li'an sat in the car and said with a smile. He didn't know what Han Shanping was selling.

Han Shanping smiled and said, "I don't know if you have time today. I would like to treat you to a meal."

After hearing this, Chen Li'an probably knew something in his mind. He probably asked him for help with something, most likely because he wanted to attract investment, and he didn't know it was a movie.

"No problem. I'll definitely have time when Director Han calls me." Chen Li'an agreed with a smile, chatting with him for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

In the Beijing Film Studio, Feng Xiaogang saw Han Shanping hang up the phone and immediately said, "Director, how are you doing?"

"He agreed. Let's meet in the evening. It's up to you whether you can get the investment. By the way, remember not to call him Mr. Chen. Mr. Chen is the one in his family. Just call him Teacher Chen."

"good!"

Feng Xiaogang agreed immediately. He just had nothing to do with Chen Li'an. He was confident in the script he had been polishing for several years!

If that doesn't work, go find Mou Qizheng! He has already found someone to start a relationship with Mou Qizheng, but now that Mou Qizheng is in the sunset, he is not Feng Xiaogang's best choice.

A newly rising rich man like Chen Li'an is the best choice. What's more, he is still in the industry and likes to invest in movies and TV series. He is simply the best choice.

In the evening, Chen Li'an met Han Shanping. When he saw the ugly guy next to him, Chen Li'an knew what movie he wanted to invest in this time.

Party A and Party B, it’s a Lunar New Year stall, it’s worth investing!

This drama was actually quite difficult to produce. First, there were problems with the script, and Feng Xiaogang took advantage of Wang Shuo being forced to go abroad and didn't give anyone a signature. Then there was not enough investment and he needed to raise investment himself. He didn't have the money to rent a tank for half of the filming.

All in all, there were a lot of problems, so I was really lucky to be able to finish the filming smoothly.

In fact, what amused Chen Li'an the most was that Feng Xiaogang originally approached Mou Qizheng for investment, but Mou Qizheng came in halfway through the filming. He had nothing to do with making money from the movie.

If you come to yourself now, what happened in your previous life will not happen.

Chen Li'an quickly walked up and shook hands with Han Shanping, then turned to look at Feng Xiaogang and said, "Hello Chen Li'an, didn't you know who you are?"

Feng Xiaogang immediately stretched out his hand and said: "Hello, Mr. Chen, I am Feng Xiaogang, a director."

"It turns out it's Director Feng, whom I've admired for a long time." Chen Li'an said politely, then looked at Han Shanping and said, "Director Han, can you now tell me why you came to me?"

Han Shanping smiled and said, "Let's go in and eat and chat."

Feng Xiaogang also nodded beside him and followed Chen Li'an and Han Shanping in. Feng Xiaogang is not a gangster now, he is just an unknown TV drama director with a very low profile.

After entering, after half a drink, Han Shanping took the initiative and said: "Li'an, I'm here this time. I want your help with a project. Forbidden City Pictures and I are planning to create a Lunar New Year show together, and we selected Xiaogang's script. But it’s too early to invest.”

Chen Li'an nodded and said, "The Lunar New Year schedule is good. Our current movie market has a vague concept of schedules. We need to have a clear schedule. Cultivating the market can also cultivate the audience's consumption habits."

Han Shanping's eyes lit up, he looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Well said, he is indeed a big business man. He can see the key point at a glance."

Feng Xiaogang also flattered him and said, "What Teacher Chen said is really insightful. I'd like to toast you."

Chen Li'an looked at Feng Xiaogang who was holding up the wine glass and said: "Director Feng, let's stop drinking when we are talking about business, so as not to prevent me from drinking too much and not being able to talk about business."

Feng Xiaogang was a little embarrassed, but he had experienced this kind of thing too much, so he smiled and said, "What Teacher Chen said is that I am too excited, haha."

Chen Li'an didn't care. He looked at Han Shanping and asked, "Director Han, do you have the script? If you want me to invest, you have to read the script first, right?"

"Of course there is a script." Han Shanping turned to look at Feng Xiaogang and said, "Xiaogang, show the script to Li'an."

Feng Xiaogang immediately took out the script and handed it to Chen Li'an and said: "This is adapted from Master Shuo's You Are Not a Common Man."

Chen Li'an pretended not to know and said: "Wang Shuo? Can this script pass the review?"

Wang Shuo was banned and hid in the United States. This incident caused quite a big fuss, but Chen Li'an was not in that circle and had paid attention to it before.

Feng Xiaogang immediately explained: "Master Shuo will not sign, the script has been reviewed."

"That's it, let me take a look." Chen Li'an then opened the script and started reading.

Han Shanping and Feng Xiaogang looked at each other, feeling a little confused. They felt that Chen Li'an didn't seem to pay much attention to it, and Han Shanping felt that Chen Li'an looked down on Feng Xiaogang.

But it's normal to think about it. Feng Xiaogang is really nothing compared to Chen Li'an.

It's not that Chen Li'an looks down on Feng Xiaogang, he just behaves like this deliberately, wanting to take the initiative in subsequent investments.

After Chen Li'an spent more than ten minutes reading it quickly, he frowned and said, "Isn't this script just a sketch?"

Feng Xiaogang looked at Chen Li'an's expression, feeling a little nervous and immediately explained: "I worked this out with many theater managers and screenwriters. It is absolutely in line with the market. There is a difference between commercial films and literary films."

Chen Li'an glanced at Feng Xiaogang and said nothing. Instead, he turned to look at Han Shanping and said, "Director Han, do you think this script can be successful?"

Han Shanping actually didn't know for sure, but he couldn't say it wouldn't work. He could only nod and said: "I think the possibility of success is still very high."

"Okay, if that's the case, I'll vote for this script." Chen Li'an closed the script and looked at Han Shanping and said, "Director Han helped me in the beginning, so he treated it like I was giving back to the factory. No matter how much investment is needed, I will give it."

Hearing what Chen Li'an said, Feng Xiaogang immediately became happy, but Hanshanping was not that open. He originally just wanted to make connections, but somehow he still owed Chen Li'an a favor.

Thinking about Han Shanping, I finally understood why Chen Li'an had always had such an attitude towards Feng Xiaogang. His feelings were to let himself accept this favor.

Doesn’t it mean that art is informal? We haven’t talked about the specific cooperation content yet, that’s all!

There is nothing good about artists!
