I'm not a good substitute

"That friend of yours looks very capable and good-looking, how did you meet?" Mother Zhang asked curiously.

Zhang Yanran lowered his head, "I met you at work."

No wonder, for Zhang Yanran to know such a decent-looking and capable friend, he might be an investor.Because of her son, Zhang's mother also inquired about the entertainment industry a lot, and now she feels that she understands the film and television industry.

"By the way, the female doctor in charge of the ward next to your father is nice. I heard that she is not married yet. Why don't I introduce Huo Jindong to her? She is also from the capital, and she is in the right family." Zhang's mother is naturally enthusiastic and loves to be a matchmaker. He began to consider introducing a female doctor to Huo Jindong.

Zhang Yanran couldn't laugh or cry, "Mom, don't worry about this matter, they have their own plans, and they will introduce someone to them when they just met."

I just mentioned it casually. After hearing what Zhang Yanran said, Zhang's mother gave up the idea. Huo Jindong is so good, girls who like him must be in line.

Guo De arranged two jobs for Zhang Yanran, one for magazine shooting and the other for commercials. Today we will shoot magazines first.

The magazine is not big, there are only four or five staff members and photographers, but they are all very polite, and greeted Zhang Yanran with a smile.The photographer Zhang Yanran has never heard of the name, but it is said that he often cooperates with magazines, and the requirements are very strict. He did not relax the requirements because Zhang Yanran is a newcomer. He kept changing his posture and eyes, and would correct himself if he did not do well.

Fortunately, the final result was good, and the filming lasted from [-] o'clock in the morning to xx o'clock in the evening.

Ge Yang and Guo De also came over. In the afternoon, Guo De ordered coffee for everyone to have afternoon tea, and the staff said that Guo Ge can be a man.

Taking advantage of the rest, Guo De told Zhang Yanran in a low voice, "This photographer is a bit strict, but don't take it to heart, take good photos."

Zhang Yanran took a sip of his coffee and smiled, "Brother Guo, am I such a person who doesn't know how to measure? Don't worry, you must cooperate well. No matter what he tells, I will follow."

Guo De heaved a sigh of relief, and gave Zhang Yanran a few words of encouragement, and soon returned to the intense shooting.

After nine o'clock in the evening, the filming was finally finished. The photographer didn't speak, but he looked satisfied. Zhang Yanran let out a long sigh of relief, changed into his own clothes and went out with Guo De after removing his makeup.

They found a place to eat hot pot, even though there were only three of them, they still asked for a private room, Zhang Yanran suddenly remembered the scene when he had hot pot with Huo Jindong last time, and couldn't help but want to laugh.

Guo De gave him a strange look, but Zhang Yanran quickly stopped him.

Before Guo De came back, firstly, to find resources for Zhang Yanran, and secondly, the most important thing was to set up his own company. Now all three employees of the company have officially arrived for the first general meeting.

"Right now, Yan Ran is the only artist in our company. In fact, it is also a studio model with you as the core artist, and the name is also Zhang Yanran's studio. I am the manager, Yan Ran, you are the artist, and Ge Yang is the assistant."

"This is just a basic configuration. In the future, more people will join us. The premise is that Yan Ran will become a popular artist. However, I believe that with your talent and hard work, you will become popular in the future. Maybe two Three years, maybe one or two years, it's just a matter of time, I have confidence in you."

Guo De looked at Zhang Yanran, making Zhang Yanran a little embarrassed, he expressed his determination, "I will try my best to play a good show, so as not to disappoint Brother Guo and Ge Yang."

Ge Yang also nodded, "I will take good care of Brother Zhang, be his assistant, solve Brother Zhang's difficulties in life, and prevent him from worrying about the future when he is filming."

The three of them discussed some follow-up work plans. Guo De chose two plays for Zhang Yanran this time, but they were not very satisfied with them, so they still haven't made a decision yet.

One is the male lead of an online drama, and the heroine brings funds into the group, only two or three million yuan is invested, and the film salary can be 300+, but the script is very exaggerated, and it can be predicted that the production will be very rough.

There is also the third male lead in a TV series. Both the male and female protagonists are well-known, but there are few characters in the drama. "Zi Fei Biography" is Zhang Yanran's first drama after all, and there is no capital for competition. Germany is unacceptable.

He felt that Zhang Yanran was talented and worked very hard, so he shouldn't bury his talent in this kind of bad drama.

However, Guo De also knows that Zhang Yanran is short of money now. Apart from helping him accept commercials, he is also considering other suitable plays. The most important thing is to persuade Zhang Yanran not to rush to make money. After wasting time in the play, the spiritual energy will soon be exhausted and become greasy.

"The so-called bad dramas are not bad, there are, but very few." Guo De said earnestly, "Bad dramas are bad in all aspects, starting from the lack of care in the script, to the attitude of the entire cast and post-production personnel, all are perfunctory. Yan Ran, if you stay with this kind of crew too much, you will become like them."

Zhang Yanran nodded, "Brother Guo, the money you lent me can last for a while, and the old house at home has also been entrusted to sue someone, so don't worry about using the money now."

The last time Zhang’s mother was cheated, Zhang Yanran was also anxious. Fortunately, the second uncle at home listened to Zhang Yanran’s situation and was willing to help. I just talked to Zhang Yanran on the phone a few days ago and said that the other party’s family felt that they were all neighbors, and it would be embarrassing to go to the court. Yes, willing to mediate in private.

Although it may suffer a bit, it is a good solution compared to the time-consuming and labor-intensive litigation and the need to find a new buyer.

"By the way, don't you know any friends in the crew who can introduce you to the play? And classmates?" Guo De asked jokingly.

Zhang Yanran thought for a while, and there really was, and Guo De also knew that he knew Huo Jindong, so he took a vaccination in advance to prevent Huo Jindong from directly approaching Guo De, and the other party took over without knowing the situation.

"Huo Jindong, do you know?" Zhang Yanran said in a calm tone, "He seems to have set up a new company with Song Jae, and he will cooperate with the current Song Films to invest in the latest movie of the "Fu Mo" series. To play the leading role, I declined."

Guo De was drinking water, and almost spewed out when he heard the words. He has seen some big scenes, but he has never seen such a calm and calm rejection of a male protagonist of this scale.

"You, really refused?" Guo De couldn't believe it.

Zhang Yanran nodded, "If I'm looking for you, don't pick it up. Brother Guo, the stall is too big for me to support." Of course, the most important thing is that I don't want Huo Jindong to do this for him.

Guo De nodded, still a little skeptical in his heart, until he received a call a few days later claiming to be a producer of the Song family, and he was completely convinced of the news.

Although he felt sad in his heart and didn't know when he missed this opportunity, Guo De still fully respected Zhang Yanran's opinion and rejected the other party's invitation.Although it is inevitable that his heart hurts, he can understand Zhang Yanran.

Guo De was embarrassed to inquire about the current situation of Zhang Yanran and Huo Jindong, but he also vaguely heard about Huo Jindong's visit to the class, and after rejecting Song's big movie male number one, he admired Zhang Yanran a little more.

However, this also made Guo De vigilant, and he had to plan Zhang Yanran's next drama well.

After returning to Beijing, Zhang Yanran took some time off and met with Li Fan a few times, and even went to the drama club to perform.

"Junior brother, do you want to think about it if you have a notebook?" Li Fan heard that Zhang Yanran still has a schedule, and felt a little embarrassed, "It's just that the salary is a bit low."

Seeing that Zhang Yanran was interested, he hurriedly continued, "It's a play by a senior in our school's director department. I've been writing it for a few years, but I can't get any investment. Now I'm planning to start filming. I'm looking for a starring role. Senior brother is very talented." Talent, his play must be good, do you want to try it?"

Zhang Yanran thought for a while, "Then you can introduce it to me, if you are idle, you are idle."

Li Fan nodded, "Let's talk about it first, it may cost 2 to [-] yuan for three or four months of filming. Moreover, you may not be able to earn this money, brother is very demanding."

Zhang Yanran smiled and said, "Listen to you, I have to earn this 1 yuan."

As expected, Li Fan was trustworthy, and took Zhang Yanran to his brother's studio within a few days. In a very remote suburb of Beijing, the house price was so low that it was almost negligible.

The brother is called Ju Lei. He is 27 years old this year. He has graduated for several years and worked as an advertisement and MV director for many years. This year he finally saved enough money to make a movie that he has been preparing for a long time.

Seeing Zhang Yanran, Ju Lei took a scrutiny first, then searched for a long time, threw him a page of the script, talked a little about the plot and characters, let Zhang Yanran figure it out, and then went to work on his own something happened.

Li Fan was a little embarrassed, but Zhang Yanran didn't care about his faux pas. Artists probably have a weird temper, so they sat down on the dilapidated sofa and thought seriously about the page.

The weather was very hot, Ju Lei's house didn't even have an air conditioner, only an old electric fan babbling, Zhang Yanran looked for a pen and wrote something on the script.

After Ju Lei finished his work, he came over and said he wanted to watch Zhang Yanran act, but he didn't give the content of the script, but mentioned some scenes randomly, and finally asked him to act the script. After reading it, his eyes lit up.

"You are simply the living Ah Liang." Ju Lei only said this, and then gave the script to Zhang Yanran, saying that as long as he decides to play the role, the film will start soon.

After receiving all the scripts, Zhang Yanran couldn't help laughing and crying. Now the industry rules, only part of the scripts are given to Yan Yan before the filming starts. Apart from the reasons for subsequent revisions, there is also a factor of fear of leaks. I didn't expect him to give it to himself so carelessly.

After returning home, Zhang Yanran read the script overnight, and it was dawn after reading it. He was not slow, but every time he read it, he felt that he had misunderstood the meaning before, and finally stopped after reading it a few times, and quickly sent the script Gave it to Guo De.

"Brother Guo, how do you like this play?" Although he tried his best to control the excitement in his tone, Guo De still noticed it.

After he was busy signing contracts with the endorsement company, he quickly opened his mailbox to read the script that excited Zhang Yanran. After reading it, he couldn't help but be overwhelmed, and immediately contacted Zhang Yanran.
