I'm not a good substitute

"That's it?" Guo De looked at Zhang Yanran.

Zhang Yanran nodded, "Yes, so let's move on. Brother Guo, I'm always hesitating and causing you trouble." He was a little embarrassed.

Guo De shook his head, "As long as you can figure it out, no matter what you choose, I will respect your choice. If you are short of money, just tell me, Brother Guo is not rich, but he still has a little money."

After solving a major issue, Zhang Yanran thought of joking, "Brother Guo, if you have a problem with your vision and I am still tepid in the end, wouldn't it be a big loss for you?"

Guo De scolded with a smile, "Where is anyone who curses himself?" He said seriously, "Tepidity is not your problem alone, and fate is also a matter of fate. Yan Ran, in our business, sometimes we have to trust fate. There is a flying There are those who are soaring, and some people become popular in middle age. But no matter what kind, the important thing is not to forget the original intention, whether you are popular or not, you must act well and do your own thing well.”

Such deafening words did not match Guo De's usual image of laughing and joking. Zhang Yanran listened to it with a smile, and felt a little taste.

Guo De is always like this, seemingly indifferent, but he can always give a lot of useful suggestions inadvertently.

After meeting Ju Lei twice with Zhang Yanran, they finally signed an agreement.Contrary to the initial impression, Ju Lei is not only not a nerd, on the contrary, he is well-mannered and handled well in the negotiation with Guo De.

That's right, such a person who has worked hard in the society for several years and managed to save money for a movie can't be as old-fashioned and unreasonable as he first appeared in front of Zhang Yanran. kind of temptation.

While Zhang Yanran had an epiphany, he was also grateful.

At the hottest time of July, the movie was about to start, and the location was in a remote village in G Province.Ju Lei went there a few years ago, and he immediately fell in love with this place, and immediately designated it as the filming location of the movie.

The preparatory work has been sufficient, and there is still a week before leaving the plane. Zhang Yanran cooks at home and goes to the hospital every day. His days are ordinary and regular.

Ju Lei told him that the local conditions are limited, so we have to be prepared to endure hardships. Zhang Yanran didn't care, but Zhang's mother was very worried, and rushed to help Zhang Yanran prepare some delicious food, such as dried beef and tea eggs.

Zhang Yanran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said repeatedly that he couldn't take so many mothers with him on the road before giving up.

The matter of the family house has also been settled, and the other party agreed to reconcile. The original 40 house was finally willing to be sold for 35. Although it was lower than the market price, it saved a lot of trouble. I don't want to trouble the second uncle's family for tens of thousands of dollars.

He left 1 yuan to his second uncle for hard work, and gave all the rest to his mother. When the money arrived, Zhang Yanran felt at ease.Adding the previous 100 million, it should be enough to support him until he comes back.

The advertiser has met Zhang Yanran and is quite satisfied with his image. Although the advertising fee is not high, it is just a new furniture brand and does not have the ability to invite big stars to endorse him. Zhang Yanran has a clean temperament, which is in line with their company philosophy .

Zhang Yanran took a group of commercials, using various wooden furniture to show the fresh side of his home, one of which is sitting on a chair, Guo De is particularly satisfied.

In the photo, Zhang Yanran was sitting on a white chair, drinking a cup of tea, his hair was slightly messy, and seemed to be steamed, his smile was a little lazy, and his face was also slightly tired.As if her boyfriend had just woken up and had morning tea at home, which girl would not be moved by such a promotional photo?

Not only the girl's heart was moved, but Huo Jindong's was also moved. The moment he got the photo, he enlarged it and hung it on the wall of his house. Every day he looked at it as if Zhang Yanran was right in front of him.

In the sweltering summer, "Zi Fei Zhuan" is still in the process of urgent filming. When it is in full swing, everyone in the crew is working hard, and the frontline reporters will bring some latest information from time to time.

The news about the establishment of a new company by Song, the largest investor in the show, did not cause any disturbance in this hot summer. After all, this is a routine operation of transferring risks, and the public does not know about Hengsheng, who is partnering with him.

Only people in the industry were surprised when they saw that the general manager was actually Huaqing. After all, it is said that this person has been alone for many years, and he has a vicious vision for investing in film and television dramas. out of the mountains.

Song Jae’s company used to be called Song’s Films, but now the company he is partnering with Huo Jindong is called Song’s Entertainment. Although Song’s name is used, in fact the largest controlling shareholder is Huo Jindong’s Hengsheng, and Huo Jindong himself is the biggest Shareholder, but he is not proficient in the film and television industry, and the daily operation is handed over to Huaqing, so he trusts him very much.

When Zhang Yanran saw the name of Song Entertainment appearing on the script, he was a little surprised and a little relieved. This is Huo Jindong's style, and it seems strange not to do so.

There is a rule in the film and television industry. Generally, before the launch, there will be a dinner party as a celebration, and it is usually held at the location of the launch.However, in view of the fact that the filming location of this drama was too remote, it was changed to the capital, and we set off directly the next day after the gathering.

When Zhang Yanran saw Huo Jindong at the kick-off banquet, he lowered his head subconsciously, feeling a little angry.

The director brought Huo Jindong and another person to the main table, and called Zhang Yanran to come too.The director had to give face, Zhang Yanran greeted Huo Jindong awkwardly, and the handshake was rather stiff.At the same time, he knew that the middle-aged man who came with him was Hua Qing, the general manager of Song Entertainment, but he didn't see Song Jae.

"I didn't expect that after the establishment of Song Entertainment, the first investment would be my movie. It's really insightful." Ju Lei is very happy, after all, investing in movies by himself is really helpless.He is self-employed, even if the filming is done, there are a lot of problems in the process of submitting for review and selection, so it's better to get on the big boat of Song's, and he can go smoothly.

Moreover, Song promised that he would only invest and not intervene in the casting and subsequent production, and it would be up to him alone to decide.Such a good thing made Ju Lei feel that he had come to the end of all hardships, that Maxima met Bole, so he kept talking about movies with Hua Qing, Hua Qing nodded frequently, and the people at the table also echoed.

There were only seven people sitting at the main table. Besides the four of them, there were actress Weng Liu, the cameraman and the general model.Weng Liu is 30 years old this year. She just got married last year and her son was born not long ago. She is also a relatively well-known actress in the industry. It is said that she owed Ju Lei a favor when she was in college, and she only acted because she thought the script was good.

At this time, everyone was talking about movies, but Zhang Yanran didn't want to talk. He felt uncomfortable when he saw Huo Jindong.After sitting for a long time, he found an excuse to go out to breathe, and turned all the way to the terrace on the second floor of the hotel. Soon after, Huo Jindong followed him, looking at him with a smile.

Seeing Huo Jindong approaching, Zhang Yanran turned to leave, but was stopped by Huo Jindong's arm.

"Yanyan, are you angry?" Huo Jindong looked at Zhang Yanran with a smile on his lips.

Zhang Yanran's tone was tense, "No."

Obviously angry.

In front of Huo Jindong, Zhang Yanran has always been heartless and cheerful, occasionally a little childish, and rarely gets angry like this.

Huo Jindong held Zhang Yanran and did not let go, "My eyes are almost red with anger, and he said he was not angry, so it has something to do with me?"

Zhang Yanran's cheeks puffed up again and again, he endured it again and again, and finally couldn't hold it back, and his tone became fierce, "Huo Jindong, why did you invest in this movie?"

Just for this?Huo Jindong laughed, "Because it has investment value, this is Huaqing's approval. He is the general manager, and I must respect his decision."

But this drama?Zhang Yanran didn't believe it, there are so many movies and TV series that start filming every year, why did they choose the most inconspicuous one?Apart from the heroine's popularity, Zhang Yanran couldn't see where Huo Jindong could invest in this movie.

He is a businessman, and a businessman seeks profit. Even if he invests, he should invest in some big productions, not their literary film that is likely to lose money.

"Yanyan, you really wronged me." Huo Jindong said with a straight face, "Don't you know that Ju Lei has cast samples for countless companies during the preparation process? Song Entertainment is newly established, so it is natural to have a reputation, yes Huaqing picked out a short film made by Ju Lei from the countless samples accumulated in Song’s mailbox before, and then found him. It just so happened that Ju Lei was going to make a new movie recently, and Song took advantage of the opportunity to invest.”

"Even if this movie doesn't start shooting, we will invest in his other movies." Huo Jindong's words are well-founded, and he said jokingly, "Of course, you happen to be in this crew now, which shows that we are destined to meet everything. "

Zhang Yanran didn't quite believe these words, but his face finally looked better.Thinking that they were going to go to province G for filming, Huo Jindong couldn't go there too, so he didn't say anything more.

Anyway, he decided on the male lead before Huo Jindong invested. No matter what reason Huo Jindong invested in this movie, he didn't get the role because of Huo Jindong.As for the investment, this is Huo Jindong's own choice. The only thing he can do is to act well and do his part so that the film will not lose money because of the poor performance of the leading actor.

"Okay, let's go back, everyone at the table is waiting." Huo Jindong let go of Zhang Yanran, and the two went back together.

Everyone at the table drank and was a little agitated. When they saw the two of them coming in, they all shouted that they would be fined. Zhang Yanran happily took the cup and was about to finish it in one go, but Ju Lei stopped him.

"Hey~, how can you drink like this, hurry up, hand over a glass of wine!" After drinking, Ju Lei seemed to be a different person, his face was flushed, the small eyes behind his glasses seemed to be shining brightly, and he slammed the table with chopsticks in one hand, I just want to see Zhang Yanran and Huo Jindong drink a cup of wine, and the slightly drunk Weng Liu also applauds loudly.

They didn't know that Huo Jindong was the largest shareholder of Song Entertainment, and Huo Jindong also kept a low profile. When introducing him, he said that he was the vice president of Huaqing.At this time, Ju Lei got drunk and knocked on the table recklessly, causing Zhang Yanran a headache.

Huo Jindong was very happy, picked up the wine glass and looked at Zhang Yanran with a smile, "I'm fine, how about you?"
