Rebirth of a Movie Star

Two weeks later, the first wave of official stills of "Golden Jade" was published on the official website.

In the solo photo belonging to the protagonist Li Chuanqing, Bai Lang is wearing a tailor's overalls and is drawing a tape measure hanging around his neck.

But Bai Lang's drooping eyelashes, matched with the light smile on his face, but because of the slightly stronger light hitting the side face, the shadow contrast caused by it is like the turbulent and unbalanced thoughts under the calm expression of the protagonist.In addition, the loose shirt was tucked under the well-fitting trousers, and the slight side angle made Bai Lang's neck and waist line curved, which was sexy in the gentleness, and strangely added a sense of glamour.

Zhu Kuan, who pursues image quality as his primary pursuit, can already see the clues of his strong personal style ten years later in the handling of such contradictions.In addition, under Zhu Kuan's lens, Bai Lang has added layers that were not in the previous image.

As soon as the still photo was released, it immediately sparked heated discussions among Bai Lang's fans.Most of the people expressed their astonishment, while some regretted that it had lost Bai Lang's original friendly features.Fortunately, there are more of the former than the latter. Bai Lang guessed that it might be the effect of the role change in the UNI advertisement, otherwise, after "starring" in the drama in his previous life, he had many obstacles in the matter of changing roles.

However, Bai Lang had somewhat forgotten that after his rebirth, even with a 24-year-old young body and normal clothes and demeanor, Bai Lang completely lost the youthfulness he still had at this age.Even in the secret filming incident, Bai Lang showed a gentle and mature side.

Fang Hua may also be affected by this. When arranging for Bai Lang's follow-up film clubs or publicity, his image follows Bai Lang's own temperament, walking all the way to a prudent and elegant precocious route, which greatly balances Bai Lang's whole life. At the beginning, I made a strong impression in the "Take" drama.

By March, two-thirds of the "Golden" drama had been filmed, and the progress was quite fast.

But Bai Lang has been paying close attention to the lack of funds for filming, but he still has no clues.

On the contrary, Zhu Kuan, a person who can't hide his thoughts, has been beaming recently.

Bai Lang looked a little alert, and taking advantage of a lunch break, he couldn't help asking.

"Director Zhu seems to be in a good mood recently, could something good happen?"

One day, when Zhu Kuan and Que Qiming gathered around Bai Lang's sumptuous lunch box, Bai Lang opened his mouth as if chatting.

Now that Zhu Kuan was getting to know Bai Lang well, he unceremoniously picked up the third piece of meat-rolled asparagus in a row, and put it in his mouth to chew and chew. "It's really a good thing, haha. During the Chinese New Year, I was still worried. I didn't expect someone to give me a pillow when I was thinking about falling asleep. It's really lucky that such a thing happened to me and Lao Zhao."

The old Zhao in Zhu Kuan's mouth; Zhao Jingxuan is the textile factory owner who asked Zhu Kuan to return to China to film.

Bai Lang immediately stopped his chopsticks.When it comes to Lao Zhao, it must be related to the film funding.

I didn't expect to ask the idea casually. Is the situation about to happen?

Que Qiming couldn't help being curious when he heard the words, and said with a smile, "If it's convenient for Director Zhu to reveal it, let us also have fun."

Zhu Kuan's chubby face was smiling until his eyes narrowed into lines, and he said quite proudly, "It doesn't matter now, the matter has been decided, and I'm not afraid of changing my mind, and I'm not afraid of affecting your filming mood."

"Affecting your mood?" Bai Lang's heart skipped a beat, he didn't care about being suspected, and hurriedly asked, "Could it be that there is something wrong with the film's funding?"

Zhu Kuan really flashed a surprised expression, "You are amazing, you can guess right after such a guess. Could it be that you heard something before?"

Que Qiming was also surprised, and his expression immediately became more serious. "If there is a problem with the funds, Director Zhu has to explain it to us in detail."

With Que's old experience, he has long known that for movies funded by owners who have participated outside the industry, the biggest worry is the lack of follow-up funds.

After all, if the owner is inexperienced and the team he is looking for cannot be well integrated, the funds will easily be spent more than expected, and the missing holes will have to be filled. At this time, it is not easy to find new investors. Halfway through the auction, it has already been finalized. It is usually difficult for investors to adjust if they have requirements, and it is difficult to attract funds.If the money cannot be borrowed to continue, the film is likely to face the fate of being cut in half.

Under Zhu Kuan's care, the "Golden" drama is in good condition, but after all, it is the first time for Zhu Kuan to return to China for filming, and it is the first time to cooperate with the related logistics teams such as scene management, equipment or art. The cost of many break-ins.

Seeing that the faces of both of them had changed, Zhu Kuan felt a little annoyed and patted his mouth. "Hey, my wife always scolds me for talking nonsense when I'm proud, and she's right." The two approached and lowered their voices, "Don't spread the word, although it's fine, but it's better not to talk about things that affect the morale of the army."

Bai Lang immediately stated, "Of course not. But if there is anything I can help with, Director Zhu, please feel free to tell me."

Zhu Kuan didn't understand the real anxiety in Bai Lang's heart, so he patted his chest and assured, "Don't worry, this is your first movie, and it's also mine. You and Mr. Que have caught a lot of things that I want but can't say." It's like a godsend. No matter what, I will definitely make this film well..."

"Then what exactly is the situation that Director Zhu said?" Bai Lang quickly cut off the conversation.

"Well, I have to talk about the old Zhao's house. Some of the factories in the old Zhao's house are managed by relatives in their family. During the Chinese New Year, the whole family didn't go back to their hometown to celebrate the New Year. They couldn't find anyone, so they came back after the Chinese New Year. The company looked for it, but found that the person had swallowed all the money and wages that could be rolled up in the factory. This roll was 500 million, and there was also an advance payment. Lao Zhao was really worried, and the elders in the family still suppressed him. But as soon as this happened, the funds of other factories had to be moved, and there was a problem with the turnover of funds. Directly, the old man’s opinion was to cut our capital injection first.”

"What's the result?" Bai Lang asked while thinking quickly in his heart how much he could help.

To say that the set of books was put on the shelves in November last year, it has been more than four months.And the last time Bai Lang went online to check foreign forums, the sales of the first season coincided with the Christmas holiday, and the results were very impressive.

If the copyright is sold at this time, although compared with the total sales of tens of millions of sets accumulated in the next few years, it will definitely make a lot less money, but the complete copyright bought for 230 million should also be able to sell for about 400 million. .

Unexpectedly, Zhu Broadband replied in a good mood, "When I was in a hurry, someone from Lao Zhao came to ask if this movie would be a joint venture. The timing was so coincidental that we were all taken aback. Even, the other party didn’t have any special requirements for the script of the characters, they just said that they were very interested after seeing the photos from when we started the film, the subject matter, and the previously released stills.”

Bai Lang was surprised, but he really was.This is different from the development of the previous life, is it just the prelude to the chain effect? "The joint venture has been confirmed? Will there be a change of mind?"

"Haha, brother, you are really more nervous than me," Zhu Kuan patted Bai Lang's shoulder vigorously, "It's no problem, the contract has been signed, and the other party has paid most of the money without hesitation. This hole is filled. Even the budget proposed by the other party is more than what Lao Zhao originally prepared. In the future, we don’t have to worry about the promotional expenses, hahaha.” Sure enough, he has a complacent character, and Zhu Kuan’s laughter at this moment does not remember suppressing his throat. up.

"So good?" Bai Lang frowned.

Que Qiming on the side was not as suspicious as Bai Lang. After all, it is quite common to find capital injections for making movies.It's just that it's more difficult to find the owner halfway.So Que Qiming eased his expression, and asked with a smile, "In this way, we have an extra new owner. Can you tell me who it is?"

"Speaking of which, you may be shocked," Zhu Kuan waved his chopsticks emphatically, "Our new owner is behind the famous Hong family in the capital."

Hearing this, Bai Lang was really shocked.

◇◇◇

The show ended that day, and when he returned to the apartment, Bai Lang only felt dizzy.

In addition to Zhu Kuan's still tight filming schedule, the news he heard at noon still shocked Bai Lang.

Because Bai Lang didn't trust the Hong family; it could also be said that Hong Yu's intervention at this time would be a pure coincidence.

Think about it, after Qiu Qian talked about the tense relationship between Hong Yu and Qu Quan, with Hong Yu's power, he must be quite aware of Qu Quan's possible moves.That is to say, Hong Yu should know that if Qu Quan wanted to leave, he might have to ask Qiu Qian for help.That's why, in the conversation at the Rong family's birthday celebration, Hong Yu was somewhat aimed at Qu Quan and Qiu Qian.In hindsight, he seemed a little sensitive about the relationship between the two of them.

At this time, Hong Yu intervened in the "Jin" drama, what could be the plot?

On the day of the Rong family's birthday party, Qiu Qian's statement to the outside world should be enough for people to know the relationship between him and Qiu Qian; whether it's a real deal or a transaction.He could be regarded as being stamped by Qiu Qian. If Hong Yu took action against the "Jin" drama at this time, the biggest possibility Bai Lang could think of was that Hong Yu wanted to warn Qiu Qian by suppressing him?Or, use this as an exchange with Qiu Qian?

And no matter which one, he seems to be involved in the relationship between Hong Yu, Qu Quan and Qiu Qian.

Thinking of this, Bai Lang couldn't help but smile wryly.He also smiled wryly at himself for being too optimistic about rebirth.

After all, even if he was reborn, many things still failed to go in the direction he wanted.For example, he has tried his best to get close to Zhu Kuan, but he still can't help Zhao Jingxuan.Even if the situation is as I guessed above, even if the filming of the "Golden" drama can be finished, I am afraid that it will encounter difficulties that cannot be released, and it will be difficult to give birth just like in the previous life...

Bai Lang felt a deep sense of powerlessness for this feeling of being busy for nothing.

So when he got home, Bai Lang didn't want to move, so he buried himself in the sofa in a daze.

Until the sound of a key opening the door, Bai Lang turned his head and saw that it was Xiao Li who had picked up Qiu Xiaohai to go home from school.

After the opened door, Xiao Li nodded slightly to Bai Lang, then let Qiu Xiaohai in, and left without entering.When Bai Lang and Qiu Qian were at home, Xiao Li rarely stayed longer.

As soon as Qiu Xiaohai entered the door, seeing Bai Lang coming home early, his eyes lit up, he immediately kicked off his shoes, and threw himself on Bai Lang's lap without taking off his schoolbag.

"Ah Bai~ You're here," Qiu Xiaohai hugged Bai Lang's waist, raised his head and laughed.

"Yes." That smile made Bai Lang couldn't help but smile too.

Bai Lang then helped Qiu Xiaohai take off his schoolbag, carried him on his stomach and sat astride him.

The child's slightly elevated body temperature, like a stove, evaporated a lot of the depressed depression in Bai Lang's heart.

Qiu Xiaohai happily rubbed on Bai Lang's chest, like a big white rabbit hugging his pillow.

"Abai, Abai, the teacher asked a question in class today."

"what is the problem?"

"The teacher asked me who I like the most in the family. I told the teacher that it was Dad and Abai!"

Bai Lang smiled knowingly, "Thank you."

"Then the teacher asked me, who is Abai?"

"What do you say," Bai Lang smiled, matching Qiu Xiaohai's tone.

"I told the teacher that Abai is just Abai," Qiu Xiaohai relayed with wide-eyed eyes, "Abai is not Jiang Xincheng now, but belongs to our family!"

"Oh," Bai Lang raised his eyebrows, "What happened after the teacher heard it?"

"The teacher said he didn't understand, and asked what you do at home."

"What do I do at home?" Bai Lang blinked.

"Cooking, bunny buns, hugs, kisses, homework, and sleeping with dad!"

Qiu Xiaohai answered confidently.

Bai Lang's smile stopped on his face, "Didn't we agree that this is a little secret?"

"That's right," Qiu Xiaohai nodded enthusiastically, "I didn't say she was naked."

Bai Lang was powerless, "...Thank you."

Before Bai Lang could finish speaking, Qiu Xiaohai wriggled even more excitedly, "Then Chen Zhenzhen said, she said that mothers are always like this!"

Before Bai Lang had time to ask who Chen Zhenzhen was, Qiu Xiaohai asked shyly, "Ah Bai~ you will be my mother."
