In the beginning, I just wanted to make money

Jingxiu Restaurant, opposite the Chinese Opera, is said to be the signature of Nanluogu Lane...

Shen Xudong and the others usually don't go because the cost is quite high!

And the evaluation is not good either…

For college students, the best choice for dining is high quality and low price!

The same goes for Shen Xudong and the others. Their more choice is Shandong Jianmian Steamed Bun Shop. A bowl of noodles, plain or with some shredded pork, and a steamed bun will definitely satisfy you!

But... someone is treating them, and of course Shen Xudong and the others won't miss it!

"Why did you remember to treat me today?"

"Maybe...making money?"

"What kind of money does he make?" Zhao Linhai called to Shen Xudong: "Fourth, did you give him the reward for "The Best Butler"?"

"...The script hasn't been finished yet, and I haven't gotten any money. Where did he get it?"

The process of selling a script is that both parties sign a contract and get 30%; after the script is written and the producer is satisfied, they get 40%; when the TV series starts filming, they get the remaining 30%...

Shen Xudong just gave Liao Gaoxiang the portion of the deposit and gave him 50,000 yuan - the total deposit was 157,000 yuan...

Liao Gaoxiang said some time ago that he was planning to buy Shen Xudong's second-hand Santana...

Is it because of this?

Shen Xudong explained his guess, and Zhao Linhai waved his hand: "He basically drove your Santana, so it won't happen!"

"What's the reason for that?"

"It's coming soon, you'll know when the time comes!"

Before I arrived, I saw Liao Gaoxiang waiting at the door of the hotel...

Then Shen Xudong and the others saw the reason - Tang Yan, Lan Xi, and Xu Baihui were all here!

I made it clear that I want Shen Xudong to take care of me...

…

The decoration of Jingxiu Restaurant is very BJ-like. The place is not big, but the design is very distinctive. It is filled with photos of the proprietress and N celebrities...

In fact, this place is suitable for bringing foreign friends or tourists to try BJ dishes...

If you can trick anyone, that's one!

It’s quite expensive anyway…

After everyone sat down, Liao Gaoxiang said: "Boss, when we start the dishes, remember to serve the wine first!"

"...Old...Second brother, I have to write reading notes when I go back later..."

"It's better when you're drunk. Li Bai wrote hundreds of poems about wine!"

"That's Li Bai, I'm just Shen Xudong..."

Zhao Linhai interrupted: "Let's have a bottle of beer each... Do girls want to drink?"

Xu Baihui said: "We also have a bottle each!"

Oh, Xu Baihui, Tang Yan, and Lan Xi are all in the acting class, and they seem to be roommates - when Liao Gaoxiang and Tang Yan were dating, he also thought about matching Shen Xudong and Xu Baihui...

It's a pity that Shen Xudong only wants to make money and has no time to spend time...

The three of them followed Liao Gaoxiang in inviting Shen Xudong... The purpose must be to 'study' from the crew of "The Best in the World"...

However, Shen Xudong is a little confused...Didn't you and Tang Yan break up?

Why did you get in touch again?

Liao Gaoxiang went straight to the point: "Xudong, the crew of "The Best in the World", can you speak to me?"

"...what to say?"

"Tang Yan and the others want to study on the set of "The Best in the World", can you arrange it?"

Shen Xudong pointed at his face: "...Do you think I can do it?"

The meaning is obvious, ‘I’m not that shameless! ’

"...You are the original author or the chief screenwriter. Besides, Senior Chen Hao is not..."

Liao Gaoxiang wanted to say something else, but Zhao Linhai interrupted him: "Ahem... the food is here, let's eat it!"

…

"Actually, for students from the Department of Acting at China Theater and Nortel, there must be an agency that wants to sign a contract... Once there is an agency, just listen to the agent's arrangements..."

At the dinner table, Shen Xudong expressed his opinion...

He really couldn't understand why everyone was so enthusiastic. It was just a TV series, not a movie about Ah Mou, Poetry Master or Pants...

There is no need to be so enthusiastic about a screenwriter like him!

Xu Baihua answered: "We can only sign with the company after our sophomore year...Freshman and sophomore years mainly work on their own to gain experience..."

Lan Xi said: "A senior sister told us that we would be bullied on the set. We thought it might be better if we have someone we know to take care of us..."

"And even if you sign with a brokerage company, you still have to fight for resources..."

Tang Yan remained silent, but kept secretly looking at Shen Xudong...

Shen Xudong was a little... distracted. He quickly shook off this dangerous thought and asked Liao Gaoxiang: "... It seems that "The Best in the World" is not in the middle of the drama, right?"

"Maybe not…"

"Then what are you anxious about?"

"Characters such as Princess Lixiu, Xiaonu, and Xiaopiaoxu should find new players, right?"

"...These are all characters with lines. Even if we find new people, it doesn't count if I say it..."

"Who has the final say? Aren't you the chief screenwriter?"

Shen Xudong simply told the truth: "There are only two people who have the power to decide the role, Wang Jinghua and Zhuang Liqi..."

"Wang Jinghua?"

"Yes, I heard... I just heard, please don't spread rumors... Wu Kebo is very interested in Wang Jinghua. Wang Jinghua's contract with Huayi expires in 2005, and he wants to poach people, so... artists will follow Wang Jinghua's arrangements..."

Most of the people here know who Wang Jinghua is, so there is no need to introduce her...

Huayi Brothers Agency is basically supported by Wang Jinghua: Chen Daoming, Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Ren Quan, and Xia Yu. These first-line artists were all signed by Wang Jinghua, including some actors from Hong Kong who went north, such as Liang Jiahui and Yang Ziqiong. , Carina Lau, Junru Wu, Rosamund Kwan and the like...

Let’s put it this way, if Wang Jinghua, an artist manager in the Mainland, considers himself second, then no one would dare to say that he is number one!

Wu Kebo actually wanted to take Wang Jinghua under his command...

This news is so shocking!

After a long while, Liao Gaoxiang couldn't help but sigh: "This... you know all this?"

"I guess...but it should be close to ten..."

"...Then will you go to meet the producer later?"

"We must meet...if there is anything unreasonable in the script...it needs to be changed!"

"When is the next time?"

"The day after tomorrow...Producer Zhuang came to BJ for a meeting..."

Liao Gaoxiang glanced at Tang Yan, and then said: "I'll take them with me then!"

"...Are you kidding me? I'm going to hand in the script and take them with me. What does that mean?"

"Just say they are very suitable..."

Zhao Linhai interrupted again: "Second brother, stop talking..."

…

That’s not how things are done!

Shen Xudong had complained about these things in the dormitory a long time ago. Liao Gaoxiang also knew that Shen Xudong did not want to get involved in the casting...

The original words are 'We are just screenwriters...'

At that time, Zhao Linhai also said, "They call it emergency medical treatment... There is a strict process for casting. Generally, the leading actors are decided by the investors, producers, and directors, while the supporting roles are left to the assistant directors and photographers to do favors..." Screenwriters rarely recommend actors...'

Liao Gaoxiang also expressed his approval that this is the crew's rule...

Now, he?

Back in the dormitory, Liao Gaoxiang explained: "I was forced to have no choice... Tang Yan came to me and asked me to introduce her to the group study... Then I had to find you!"

"...Second brother, others don't know how much I weigh, but you don't know?"

"Of course I know...but don't you think Tang Yan is very suitable for Princess Lixiu?"

"...Where is the right place?"

Liao Gaoxiang asked: "What's inappropriate? Isn't she beautiful?"

Tang Yan…

There is nothing to say about the appearance!

"...Then do you know what will happen if I really take her to see Zhuang Liqi?"

what happens?

What can happen?

Liao Gaoxiang's tone weakened: "You can introduce her to Senior Sister Chen Hao!"

"...Just once, never again!"

"Senior Chen Hao...hey, did you agree?"

"Sister Chen Hao came here with Producer Zhuang. I heard that Wu Kebo's company is preparing to recruit new people... The most important thing is that Tang Yan is indeed suitable for Princess Lixiu..." Shen Xudong sighed: "Give me her phone number, and I will take them with me the day after tomorrow. !”

"they?"

"And Cao Xiwen!"

"Do you have any contact with Cao Xiwen?"
