Rebirth Turn

Lu Yan arrived at the Golden Palace at just the right time. As soon as the car stopped, the security guard standing at the door immediately came over and opened the car door. When he saw that it was Lu Yan, his smile became more courteous, and his waist became more bent, "Lu Yan Brother, you are here."

The number of times Lu Yan came to the Golden Palace is not too many, but he came with He Ming a few times, and the incident when he came to the Golden Palace for the first time was a bit big at the time, and it became the Golden Palace for a while. hot topics.So in the eyes of these veteran employees of the Golden Palace, their identities are naturally different.

Lu Yan nodded, "I'm looking for Chen Yue and Su Xi, have they arrived yet?"

The security guard nodded, "Ms. Chen and Mr. Su arrived early, at Guibao 2315. I'll find someone to take you up."

Chen Yue, Su Xi, and the others are all regular customers of the Golden Palace, as long as they are not newcomers, they can tolerate them.

"No need, I can find it." Lu Yan said, pointing to Song Hui who was driving to park, "When my assistant comes over later, you find someone to lead him up."

"Ok."

When Lu Yan opened the door and went in, there were only those young masters in the private room.Whenever Lu Yan is present, they never order those Yingyingyanyans.On the one hand, he knew that Lu Yan didn't like those things, but on the other hand, he didn't dare to cuckold Boss Su.

Seeing Lu Yan coming in, several people stood up happily, and called out respectfully, "Brother Lu."

Lu Yan smiled and said hello one by one.

Su Xi looked behind Lu Yan, but he didn't see anyone else, and was a little disappointed, "Brother Lu, why didn't that kid Su Jue come with you?"

"Oh? I thought I was the only one invited today. Why, is Su Jue the right one?" Lu Yan teased.

"Of course not," Su Xi hurriedly said, "Isn't that kid Su Jue coming with you every time?"

"It's just a coincidence." Lu Yan smiled, "But I'm afraid, the person he doesn't want to appear with is me."

"Haha, that's definitely true." Several people couldn't help laughing when they thought of Su Jue's embarrassment when they met him last time. Hall, even if he has ten mouths, he can't speak clearly."

"It's only now that I feel that the power of public opinion is so powerful!" Although the person involved is not there, these people definitely don't mind throwing stones behind their backs.

"Whoever makes Su Jue famous in the outside world, it's good to take this opportunity to punish him. Maybe we can really transform a flirtatious young man into a devoted man, then we have done a great deed."

After laughing at Su Jue, the gossip started again, and someone asked, "Speaking of which, Brother Lu, when will you and Boss Su... um, make it public?"

"Soon." Lu Yan smiled, "I'm waiting for a suitable opportunity."

"Hey, Brother Lu, are you planning a wedding?"

"I have this plan." Although he has not discussed this matter with Su Mo, Lu Yan believes that as long as he proposes it, the other party will definitely not refuse.

"Will it be broadcast live nationwide? Thinking about it, I think it's so cool. Let us be the best men at that time, and we will be happy." Someone suggested.

Others chimed in.

Lu Yan said with a smile, "Okay, all of you will come to meet me when the time comes."

Several people immediately excitedly chatted about the details of the wedding, as if they were the ones who were going to hold the wedding soon.

Hearing what they said was getting more and more outrageous, Lu Yan interrupted with a smile, "Isn't it because you invited me here today to talk about this?"

"Of course not." Chen Yue said, "Brother Lu is here today, first of all, to celebrate the success of the first movie invested by Brother Lu's studio."

"That's right, Brother Lu, you are amazing. The first movie you invest in has such a good result. No number of film companies can match it."

"Brother Lu, I respect you, you are my idol."

"It's outdated to talk about idols now, and now we should talk about male gods. Brother Lu, you are my male god. I also offer you a toast."

There is no reason to refuse such a toast. Anyway, Song Hui is driving the car, and there is nothing wrong with drinking a little, so Lu Yan will not refuse anyone.

After one round, Lu Yan still didn't blush and his heart didn't beat, which made several young people feel even more admiration.

After a group of people frolicked for a while, some of the light drinkers had already got down on the ground.

Lu Yan was still in good spirits, while Chen Yue and Su Xi didn't drink much, but they were still in good spirits.

"Come on, what else is there? It's not as simple as celebrating me for me today." Lu Yan looked at the two who were hesitant to speak, and said straight to the point.

"Sure enough, you can't hide anything from you, Brother Lu." Chen Yue giggled, "Brother Lu knows that we opened a film investment company, right?"

Lu Yan nodded.

"After I did it, I realized that it was really interesting. Although I haven't made any money yet, I feel that my pursuit is different. Now our old man sees me and won't call me a prodigal all the time, and praise me for being sensible." Yes. Hehe, it’s all thanks to you, Brother Lu. When I spoke to our old man, he didn’t agree at first, but as soon as I said it was your idea, Brother Lu, he immediately agreed. Let me take care of myself Dry."

Lu Yan smiled. He just said that casually at the time, but he didn't expect these young masters to really have the patience to do it.Afterwards, he also heard from Su Jue that in the past year or so, they invested in three films, and they were indeed investing in young directors who were just starting out.Lu Yan also went to watch it. The movie is indeed not bad. These people still have a little bit of vision, but the main creators are too unknown, and the publicity is not strong enough, which did not arouse much response.Except for one of which recovered the cost, the other two lost a little, but fortunately not much.To these people, that little money is nothing at all.But their enthusiasm for doing things is even higher, and they really have a little bit of a posture to do practical things.

Su Xi poked Chen Yue and said dissatisfiedly, "What are you doing talking so much nonsense, let's get down to business."

Chen Yue hurriedly stopped the topic, and said seriously, "Brother Lu, it's like this. This time we came across a good script, which is really good. Although the director is a little tender, we have seen his previous films, and they are quite good. Spiritual. We all feel that this movie is worth making, so we want to find a famous actor to support this movie."

"Okay, you can talk about spirituality. It seems that you have worked hard. So, do you want to hire me or let me find someone for you?" Lu Yan understood immediately after hearing it.

Chen Yue smiled mischievously, "Brother Lu, it would be the best if you can do it yourself. With your participation, the quality of the movie will be improved immediately, and you don't have to worry about the box office."

"That's a good idea, my salary is not low." Lu Yan joked.

"The salary is no problem, no problem at all, it must be worthy of your worth, brother Lu." Chen Yue said hastily.

"Did you bring the script? I'll take a look first." Lu Yan said.

"I brought it with me." Chen Yue said as he conjured up a script.

Sure enough, it was premeditated.Lu Yan smiled and didn't mind.As a result, the script looked up.

The script in Lu Yan's hand is written for actors. It only has plot and lines. It's not long, so I'll finish it soon.

After closing the script, Lu Yan pondered for a while.

"How is it, Brother Lu?" Both Chen Yue and Su Xi stared at him expectantly.

"It's a good story. If the director is really as spiritual as you say, I guess it might be a dark horse." Lu Yan said directly.

"Then, Brother Lu..."

"But it's a pity," Lu Yan sighed, "I just accepted a play, and it won't be available until at least half a year later."

The day before yesterday, Mel called Lu Yan and confirmed that he was the protagonist of "The Great Detective".He will go to Hollywood in half a month, and the shooting time is expected to be six months.

"Half a year is too long, I'm afraid we won't be able to wait." Both Chen Yue and Su Xi looked very disappointed.

Lu Yan also felt a little sorry and regretful.

Lu Yan searched in his mind to see if there was any suitable candidate to recommend, and suddenly a person flashed in his mind.Thinking that person is quite suitable, he thought for a while and then said, "Actually, it is not necessary to find a famous actor for this movie, because if the director and other actors are too unknown, a single leading actor who is too famous may be the opposite. It will weaken people's attention to the movie itself. I think that instead of spending a lot of money to hire a well-known leading actor, it may be better to use the money to promote it. Maybe the effect will be better. Speaking of leading actors, I have some One candidate, his acting skills are definitely enough, and he has a certain foundation in fame, but he is not a first-line, so the salary will not be very high. I think he is more suitable for your movie than me."

"Really? Who is it?" Their eyes lit up again.

Just as Lu Yan was about to say his name, he thought about it and said, "But I don't know if he has a schedule. How about this, I'll contact him first, and if there's no problem, I'll recommend it to you."

"Okay, then I will trouble Brother Lu."

When he went back that night, Lu Yan made a phone call.Lu Yan made the call from a landline. After the call was connected, Lu Yan felt that the voice on the other side was not particularly energetic.

"Hello, who is it?"

Lu Yan said directly, "It's me, Lu Yan. Song Lian?"

Hearing his self-introduction, the voice over there immediately cheered up, "Brother Lu, long time no see. Congratulations on your movie box office success."

"Thank you." Lu Yan smiled sincerely.

The two of them don't get along very often, and they haven't had the chance to work together since filming "The Bureau" together. However, every time Lu Yan has something to do, Song Lian will express his support or congratulations on Weibo. It's not a big deal to mix in the crowd. drill.But Lu Yan himself paid more attention to him, so he knew it.

"Brother Lu came to see me so late, is there anything urgent?" Song Lian asked over there.

"Well, it's something. Do you have a schedule now?" Lu Yan thought he didn't like to beat around the bush, so he asked straightforwardly.

"Yes, I've been quite free recently. It's just... hey, forget it, Brother Lu, tell me, what's the matter?"

Naturally, Lu Yan would not ignore his hesitant pause, frowned slightly, and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

"It's nothing. Some small things should be resolved soon."

Lu Yan thought for a while, "Is it related to the brokerage company? If I remember correctly, your contract seems to be expiring soon."

When filming and chatting together before, Song Lian once mentioned that Lu Yan has a good memory, if he remembers it carefully, he will never forget it.

Over there smiled wryly, "Brother Lu, you have a really good memory, that's all."

"If you have time, how about we find a place to sit down and talk tomorrow?"

"Row."

The next day we made an appointment at a coffee shop, which was not particularly located in the city center, but the traffic was convenient. It was neither a holiday nor a weekend, so the flow of people was fine.

Lu Yan arrived early, sitting in a corner wearing sunglasses and waiting.

It was not by chance that Lu Yan thought of Song Lian. He didn't pay attention to many people, and Song Lian was one of them.

Although for Song Lian, the first encounter between the two came from the filming of the movie "The Bureau", but only Lu Yan knew that the fate of the two began to change from the moment he took over the movie "Sniper". intersection.

Lu Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with taking "Sniper", nor would he feel guilty hypocritically.But in the life of the two lifetimes, if one had to find out what was owed, it was the only thing.So Lu Yan will pay special attention to Song Lian's development.

In her previous life, Song Lian was just a little-known actor before filming "Sniper".The acting skills are there, and the appearance can't be said to be particularly outstanding, but the manly feeling is quite popular.He has played various supporting roles or villains in many movies, and he is familiar, but he has not been very popular.

This reminded Lu Yan of himself at that time.It's just that Song Lian was luckier than him at that time, because he encountered a good opportunity.

In her previous life, after Song Lian won the Best Actor Award at Cannes for "Sniper", she had a great time, and her star journey went much smoother after that.It's just that because the brokerage company is not very strong, it's not so good to be in front of the front line all the time.Before Lu Yan was reborn, Song Lian was still a male star whose acting skills were well recognized but never made it to fame.

Lu Yan remembered that Song Lian's agency at that time was his current one.

Song Lian arrived 10 minutes before the appointed time. After he sat down, he hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry I'm late."

Lu Yan smiled, "You are not late, I am early. Let's order something first, let's talk slowly."

Song Lian simply said to the waiter who came over, "A cup of coffee, thank you."

"Sir, we have a lot of coffee here, which one do you want?"

"Lanshan." Song Lian said casually.

"Okay, wait a minute."

The coffee was served quickly, and the two chatted a little bit about the recent situation. Song Lian once again congratulated Lu Yan in person, and Lu Yan replied with a smile, thank you.

After chatting for a while, Lu Yan directly opened the topic, "Song Lian, with all due respect. Do you have any problems with the brokerage company?"

Song Lian's face froze for a moment, and then he smiled wryly, "There is a little problem. We have been unable to agree on the renewal of the contract. So I haven't arranged any work recently, and I have a lot of free time."

Lu Yan understood as soon as he heard it.This is a common method used by some brokerage companies. For artists who are not particularly famous but have some value, if the artist is not satisfied with the renewed contract and does not want to renew the contract, they can use the means of reducing or not arranging work to put pressure on the artist. They give in.Showbiz is a very realistic place. If you are not very famous and you don’t have a large number of loyal fans, you only need to disappear from the public for a while, and when you come back, it will not be the same at all.Many famous artists can't afford such consumption, let alone not particularly famous.

At this time in the previous life, Song Lian was already the Best Actor in Cannes, so his value had naturally soared. The agency must have given him a lot of benefits in order to keep him. Song Lian had to be nostalgic enough for this.But now Song Lian is still nothing, so naturally it is different.

Lu Yan asked, "How long will your current contract expire?"

"There is still half a year." Song Lian confessed.

"Then what are you going to do?" Lu Yan asked.

Song Lian sighed, "What else can I do? If it really doesn't work, I can only sign. It's better than being sentenced to be out."

Lu Yan was silent for a while, and then said, "Song Lian, you know, I opened my own studio, and I plan to sign some artists recently. Those who are too famous will definitely not like my small temple, and those who have just debuted want to It requires too many resources to hold it up, so it’s not cost-effective. I think you are very good, have acting skills, and have a certain foundation. And I think we get along well. So, if you are willing to come to my studio, I can do it for you Pay the current liquidated damages. In addition, I have a friend who has a great script, and I would like to recommend you to act in it."

Lu Yan made such a decision after careful consideration.

First of all, it is true that the studio wants to expand and develop. Only him as an artist is not enough. It is better to sign a few more potential artists. It does not need to be too many, but they must be of good quality and have prospects.After all, a studio is no better than a big company, and its resources are still limited, but it's okay to just train a few more.

Lu Yan also understood Song Lian quite clearly.His acting skills are really good, otherwise he wouldn't have won the Best Actor in Cannes so smoothly in his last life. A good role requires a strong actor, and the jury is not a fool.What's even more rare is that Song Lian has a good temperament, nostalgia for the past, and a sense of gratitude, which is quite rare in the entertainment industry.

Lu Yan believes that as long as the method is right and enough resources are given, Song Lian will definitely shine in time.Although it may not be possible to win another international best actor, the best actor is just a bargaining chip for extra points. If you want to really develop well, the title of best actor will not be able to handle everything. , at least let Song Lian develop better than the previous life, Lu Yan is still sure.

Song Lian's eyes widened, and he said excitedly, "Brother Lu, are you kidding me?"

"I'm serious. Of course, if you don't have the will, just pretend I didn't say it." Lu Yan said.

"No, no, I didn't mean that." Song Lian said, "I'm just, a little surprised. I'm willing, really. Brother Lu, I have always admired you. It is my dream to work with you."

Lu Yan joked, "Don't agree so quickly, you can think about it first, maybe my contract is more demanding."

Song Lian laughed, "Don't think about it, I trust Brother Lu. It's just..."

"Just what?"

Song Lian was a little embarrassed, "It's just that the liquidated damages... Anyway, it's only half a year, why don't we just wait for it to terminate the contract automatically."

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Half a year is not a short time. You can't afford it, and I can't wait. Don't worry, I can still afford this money, and I believe that as long as you sign a contract with me, you will earn it back for me in the future Definitely far more than that.”

Lu Yan has also considered this aspect. When Song Lian signed the contract with the brokerage company, he was nothing, so there would definitely not be too high liquidated damages.So for Lu Yan, who is now worth more than [-] million yuan, it is really nothing.

That's how the matter was settled.Lu Yan quickly helped Song Lian pay the liquidated damages, and let him sign a contract with the studio, and then recommended him to Chen Yue and the others. After the interview with the director, he was also very satisfied, saying that this is what he wanted. hero.

After dealing with these matters, Lu Yan flew to Hollywood to start filming "The Great Detective".
