I'm not a good substitute

Zhang Yanran returned to the capital, and really rested for a few days. He had a good rest at home and tidied up the room, quite a bit like when he first met Huo Jindong.

Knowing that he was finally free, Mrs. Huo hurried over to meet him, and said with emotion, "Huo Jindong has already told me everything about you." How did I find you so accurately back then?"

Zhang Yanran also laughed. He and Mrs. Huo hadn't seen each other for a long time, and he also missed her when he saw her again.Mrs. Huo took good care of him back then, and the relationship between the two was very good.

Knowing that Zhang Yanran is now a star and has received a lot of attention, and that she can't go out with him like before, Mrs. Huo sat at home for a while longer.When Zhang Yanran poured her tea, he chuckled, "Do you still remember how we did it back then?"

As he spoke, he picked up the empty teacup and made a gesture of throwing it, which made Mrs. Huo laugh out loud.

Why don't you remember?They pretended to be different and sacrificed several teacups for this, but they didn't expect to have today.

After seeing off Mrs. Huo, Zhang Yanran was idle and bored, so he simply went to pick up Huo Jindong from get off work.He didn't go to the office building, he just waited in the car, so it was enough for Huo Jindong to be happy.

Originally wanting to stay and work overtime for a while, he learned that Zhang Yanran was downstairs, so he gave the employees a holiday and rushed down, fearing that Zhang Yanran would wait for a long time.

The waiting time is the sweetest, Zhang Yanran opened half of the car window, watched the flow of people passing by and observed their expressions, there were office workers with hurried expressions, some leisurely strollers, and sweet couples.

Not long after, Huo Jindong came down and knocked on the car window. After entering, the two looked at each other and smiled. Zhang Yanran started the steering wheel and drove towards home.

Huo Jindong's subordinates found that their boss's temper had improved a lot recently. Unlike the previous irascibility, he now seemed to be in a spring breeze, and they all asked his assistant Xiao Liu what happened.

Of course Xiao Liu would not say that it was because of Zhang Yanran's return, he could only say haha ​​that it was the change of temperament caused by seasonal changes, and even he was a little speechless after speaking.But he made up his mind, it seems that Zhang Yanran's influence on the boss is much greater than he imagined, so he must hold on to this thigh tightly.

This is his secret, and he will not tell anyone, Xiao Liu clenches his fist in his heart.

Huo Jindong and Zhang Yanran lived leisurely, as if even time slowed down a lot, life was full of sweetness.

Just when he was not asking about world affairs, Ju Lei called and told Zhang Yanran excitedly that their film had been shortlisted for the famous foreign film festival "West Film Festival", and Zhang Yanran himself would also compete for the best actor.

"Impossible?" Zhang Yanran's first reaction was disbelief. "Wess Film Festival" is a world-renowned film festival. This is his first film, and it is also Ju Lei's first film. How could it be so good? luck.

Knowing that he didn't believe it, Ju Lei smiled, and told Zhang Yanran proudly that the Song Corporation added an additional sum of funds for the post-production of the film. He has been staying abroad for the past few months because he was busy with this matter.

The soundtrack this time is a disciple of a well-known international composer. The master himself is also a frequent nominee for the best soundtrack of the "Western Film Festival".

By chance, after watching the film from his student, he was very interested in the film, so he recommended it to the chairman of the film festival. It happened that the chairman also liked it very much. When it was time for judging, the film was successfully shortlisted after the unanimous approval of the judges.

Ju Lei has been preparing the script for many years and devoted himself to this film. Now he can be nominated for the International Film Festival, which can be said to be proud of him.

Originally, the investors didn't have high expectations for the film's box office, but he was able to be shortlisted for such a high-standard film festival, which can be regarded as saving a city in terms of film quality and worthy of Huo Jindong's investment.

When Zhang Yanran expressed doubts, Ju Lei chuckled, "The news should be sent back to China soon, and I have to announce this news with others, you just wait and read the news." He hung up the phone neatly.

He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and he was a little skeptical.After all, there is no need for Ju Lei to spread such a lie, and it is not an April Fool's Day joke.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, news came out on the Internet, saying that "Incandescent Love" was shortlisted for this year's "West Film Festival", and it was also one of the only two films in China to be shortlisted this year.

Director Ju Lei, starring Zhang Yanran and Weng Liu, and the name of the movie have been listed on the hot searches. Zhang Yanran was remembered by interested people with a small role a while ago, and starred in a commercial movie. Now he has been shortlisted for a well-known international film festival , Naturally, some people have a lot of doubts, thinking that he has a great background.

Of course, there are also some enthusiastic fans and the public to defend him, but he is still used by caring people to make a fuss.

For an international film festival of this level, being nominated is affirmative. Although Zhang Yanran was only shortlisted for Best Actor, it is obvious that his acting skills have been affirmed by the organizing committee.

And the first work is at this level, and Ju Lei has a name in the film market.Not to mention anything else, there will definitely be well-known actors vying for the next film, and domestic film festivals will also open their doors to him. As long as the quality passes the test, there is absolutely no problem in being shortlisted.

After all, it was the only one shortlisted for such a high-profile film festival. Domestic media reporters interviewed Ju Lei who was abroad overnight and concocted a manuscript.

Ju Lei introduced the film creation process in detail, but those who follow Zhang Yanran don't care about this, they just want to know why Zhang Yanran became the male lead.

Fortunately, Ju Lei did not disappoint them. He explained Zhang Yanran's audition process in detail, praised him for his high morals and honesty with only [-] "friendship price" salary, and the fact that he did not fear hard work and performed well during the filming process. .

Zhang Yanran read the report after waking up the next day, only to feel that his face turned red, and Ju Lei praised him too well.He secretly thought that Huo Jindong must not be allowed to read this manuscript, otherwise, with his jealous personality, he might think that Ju Lei had a crush on him.

And it is the first time for everyone who has read this manuscript to know about Zhang Yanran from Ju Lei.

It turns out that he is not only good-looking and good at acting, he is also very dedicated and able to endure hardships.

At that time, Ju Lei was poor and white, and he didn't even know whether the film would be released, but Zhang Yanran was willing to take so much pain to make this film with only a small salary.

All the rumors about him bringing funds into the group and so on are self-defeating, he just has good luck and good strength.

The first TV series was just a small supporting role, but he just gained attention among the big names like Ruyun with his good-looking appearance and excellent acting skills.

The second film is a movie that Song's kindness supports the new director and plans to invest in. He is the male lead chosen by the director himself and is willing to care about gains and losses.

Fans who like Zhang Yanran were overjoyed, and they spontaneously explained Zhang Yanran's performance in "Fu Mo". He just has good acting skills, and the Song family saw him when they invested in the movie.

Capable and young, and a reassuring actor who has worked with him before, isn't it a matter of course to choose him?

No matter how the outside world guesses, this time "Incandescent Love" was shortlisted for the International Film Festival, Guo De was very proud, and immediately promoted Zhang Yanran himself first, and at the same time clarified some rumors, the effect was very good.

The opening of the film festival is coming soon, and the main creators of the entire film crew will be invited to participate in the opening ceremony. This is Zhang Yanran's first time participating in a film festival, and it is such a high-standard film festival, so it is inevitable that he will be nervous.

Fortunately, Guo De started to prepare from the moment he was shortlisted, looking for stylists, make-up artists, photographers, etc., as well as booking air tickets and hotels, he was very busy.

Knowing that Zhang Yanran is a newcomer with little experience, the heroine Weng Liu specially called to ask if she would like to introduce clothing sponsorship to Zhang Yanran.

She was completely kind, and Zhang Yanran politely declined after being grateful. Since he chose Guo De as his manager, he believed that he would make arrangements.

Zhang Yanran's entry into the "West Film Festival" is a great opportunity to show his face internationally. With the blessing of excellent commercial film resources in the future, it is conceivable that Zhang Yanran will soar into the sky in the future.

Therefore, unlike Zhang Yanran in Weng Liu's imagination, who didn't have suitable clothes, Guo De was almost dazzled, and finally agreed with the costumer, after trying dozens of clothes, he chose the latest model of a big brand.

The publicist of the other party was quite surprised after seeing Zhang Yanran himself. Considering Zhang Yanran's follow-up, they hit it off immediately and had the idea of ​​continuing to cooperate.

The next step is the itinerary. After this, Guo De was surprised that Zhang Yanran's popularity seemed to be faster than expected, so he decided to expand the studio and recruit suitable assistants.

Zhang Yanran has no objection to this, he trusts Guo De and is willing to let him handle it.

Unexpectedly, when he told Huo Jindong that he was going abroad, thinking he would be reluctant, Huo Jindong smiled and told him that he would also go with him.

Just to avoid suspicion, they will not be on the same flight as Zhang Yanran, and the two will arrive one after the other.

"Did you forget? I am now the person in charge of Song Films. The film I invested in has gained such a lot of limelight. Isn't it reasonable to go and see it?" Huo Jindong looked into Zhang Yanran's eyes and said warmly.

Huo Jindong said that the film and television industry is really booming now, with countless hot money pouring in, he naturally wants to make a fortune.

Speaking of which, "Incandescent Love" is the first film Song Films invested in after the reorganization, and the film and TV series that supported the new director during the same period of investment are still in production. The established Song family became famous.

Although it is no longer the previous Song family, their vision and production level are still unquestionable.

Huo Jindong looked at Zhang Yanran, affectionately, "Besides, I want to stand with you in an aboveboard manner. This is the best opportunity, isn't it?"

His tone was so sweet, Zhang Yanran was bewitched, he nodded slightly unconsciously, and leaned on Huo Jindong's shoulder, "Wait a little longer, there will be a day when we can stand together in a fair manner."

With their joint efforts, it won't be far.
