Bai Yueguang and the enemy are together

That was Gu Lan's fourth year at Dingxing, at the age of 22.

With two Best Actor winners for Best Play at the Venice Film Festival, and three domestically popular commercial TV dramas, he was already in the limelight at that time, firmly sitting on the top position of domestic entertainment traffic, and at a young age Very light, just in the most lively, bright, clean and refreshing years, but the qualifications are far crushed by the young fresh meat that has just started.

And he is already an old hero in the top star, and he has assisted Tan Shao for four years to clean up the mess left by a group of old shareholders, make up for bad debts, revive the glory, and let Tan Yiming sit firmly at the helm position.

Some media will say that they are "two swords combined".

One became the most popular person in domestic entertainment, and the other turned the company into the number one leader in the domestic entertainment business.

In fact, this is complementary.

Gu Lan's achievements will naturally help the company rise.

And the further the company sails, the more opportunities and fame it will bring him.

Gu Lan likes to try all kinds of things. Before his 22nd birthday, he had already tried all the ways he could try.And he is only 22 years old, and he only wants to challenge to climb higher peaks and achieve more dazzling achievements.

Tan Yiming was four years and six months older than him, so he happened to be more peaceful and stable, more forward-looking, and more prepared for danger in times of peace.They are a very suitable partner.

——But this is just Gu Lan's wishful thinking.

Because he flies too high and too fast, it is inevitable that there will be some rumors that he will separate from Top Star and start his own company as the boss.

This is not excessive malicious speculation. Many celebrities will start their own businesses after they have the confidence to own assets.For Gu Lan at the time, he had all the resources, experience, connections, and appeal.

It's just that Gu Lan is still too young, he hasn't started thinking about starting his own business yet.

He also heard those rumors, but he couldn't make an announcement so that everyone wouldn't speculate about him.

At this moment, Tan Yiming gave him a serious task.

""Suo Lin Nang"?...I recently read an online novel with a similar name..." Gu Lan couldn't help shaking his eyebrows when he saw a script that Tan Yiming gave him.

Theoretically speaking, their company did not consider adapting novels and screenplays at that time.

But it is also theoretically speaking, if Tan Yiming insists on catching up with the current popular trend to make a quick profit, Gu Lan will not disappoint him.

Tan Yiming laughed lightly: "This is the name of a famous Beijing opera, and the story is based on that Beijing opera. I want you to evaluate this book and see if we want to vote."

"Oh, I'll take it back and have a look tonight."

Gu Lan really has no research on opera, nor is he interested in it. God knows how he kept his eyelids open to read the hundreds of pages of the script that night.

The next day, he didn't sleep all night, his head hurt a little, he rubbed his temples to strengthen his energy, and replied to Tan Yiming: "The story is okay, but it's too long! How many episodes are you going to shoot? If the platform and the placement advertiser let us Water for water, there will be seventy or eighty episodes..."

Tan Yiming said: "...This is a movie script."

"...a movie script? Seriously?" Gu Lan reconsidered the thick manuscript in his hand after hearing the words, "This...is it going to be made into a series? Like "The Avengers"?"

Tan Yiming was so amused by his words that he broke out into deep laugh lines, leaned on the armchair with difficulty, and put down the coffee cup slowly, as if he had expected it: "So let you evaluate..."

Gu Lan knew in his heart that Tan Yiming asked him to evaluate, probably not because he really wanted to evaluate, but because it was imperative.

The company has a team of experienced managers and directors, and it is not worth torturing him for a night to evaluate the script.

Gu Lan hurriedly put the thick script back into her arms, and licked her lower lip helplessly: "All right. Who is the director and screenwriter? I'll meet them and tell you how to do it."

Tan Yiming took out a certain proposal from a file cabinet and confirmed it: "Well... the director is Wu Hai, and the screenwriter is Yan Jinxi."

"...Yan Jinxi?" Gu Lan was stunned, "I seem to have heard of it somewhere..."

"I have made several independent films, and I am a little famous in that circle."

Yan Jinxi was a few months younger than Gu Lan, and was 21 years old at the time.

At that time, he was in the independent film circle, and his public popularity was not very high.

And Gu Lan was surrounded by famous directors and editors, and superstars and celebrities were like flowing water.The world of flowers and flowers is easy to get lost. No matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't remember where he had heard similar names.

Then, he met the man who was completely different from him in the colorful world.

When Yan Jinxi was 21 years old, I have to say that that kind of refreshing, pure, and pure literary and artistic temperament, in the eyes of Gu Lan, who has seen the colorful and flashy rouge, is like a pure white rose, beautiful and delicate, and a little Fragile.

It was a noisy summer day with cicadas singing, and they met in a coffee shop.

After the wind chime at the door rang, Gu Lan listened to the voice of the waiter welcoming guests and looked over.A fresh and bright young man opened the glass door and walked in. His skin was very fair, reflecting the sunlight almost dazzlingly, and he was delicate and delicate at that age. He carefully patrolled the lobby.

After Wu Hai called a name and waved to him, he walked over cautiously.

"Jinxi, this is Gu Lan. Oh, you must know him, haha." Although Wu Hai laughed, in fact Gu Lan felt very coercive in front of him, and his qualifications and fame were not of the same order. As a He was also a little nervous about the little-known little director.

Yan Jinxi seemed even more nervous. While nodding to Gu Lan in a hurry, Wu Hai led him to sit next to Gu Lan. After Gu Lan made room for him and moved to the side, he seemed to want to politely move the table away. The last cup of coffee was also pushed in front of Gu Lan, but he almost spilled it accidentally, causing the spilled coffee to stain one cuff.

He was wearing a snow-white long-sleeved shirt, and the scorching sun and heat outside seemed to have nothing to do with him. Not only did he not have a trace of sweat on his body, but he also exuded a cold and snow-like atmosphere.

When Gu Lan handed over the tissue, he didn't know what to do to accept it, wiped it twice in a hurry, rolled up the dirty part of the cuff to the crest of the elbow, pinched the tissue in extreme embarrassment, and thanked Gu Lan, Apologize again.

Gu Lan thought, this person wrote the extremely lengthy script that tormented him all night.

Wu Hai said that this was Yan Jinxi's first time writing a script, and he asked him for advice.

After chatting for a few words, Gu Lan asked, "Where have I met you?"

Yan Jinxi sat next to him with a distance of one person, hardly daring to turn his head to look up at him, and said softly, shyly: "I've seen it."

He flicked the silver spoon in the cup of coffee in front of him, disturbing the chain link, took the spoon out and put it next to the cake plate, picked up the cup, seemed to want to drink, but put it back halfway, and put the silver spoon again Put it in a cup.

"...It was last summer, at the Venice Film Festival."

Wu Hai immediately said: "Oh, at the Venice Film Festival, the movie that Jin Xi acted in was also nominated for the best screenplay."

Gu Lan thought for a long time, wouldn't it be such a coincidence that he was also nominated for the Best Actor nomination?Then it seems that this cooperation will not be too pleasant, because he is about to mention that nine tenths of the script will be cut...

Wu Hai continued: "Jin Xi is very talented, he won the Best New Director Award."

Gu Lan thought again, the best new director in Venice... He never won it.No wonder you can bluff people, 20 years old?Best Emerging Director?

So he looked at Yan Jinxi a few more times, and only said, "This guy has a pretty face. If there is an award for the best newcomer, he will definitely be able to overwhelm everyone", "But why did you see me?" It’s like the nervousness of a rabbit meeting a tiger.”

With the halo bonus of "Best New Director in Venice", even if the script is stinky and long, it is different.

The title of the award is like a layer of gold, which is the appeal of the box office.

When Gu Lan went back, he reported to Tan Yiming that this cooperation could proceed.

Tan Yiming then asked him: "How much do you think should be cast?"

He asked Gu Lan specifically, which made Gu Lan feel a little strange.

Tan Yiming is a student of financial management, and venture capital is his foundation for success. He never asked this question before.

Gu Lan felt that this was a bit abnormal, so she asked keenly: "What is the company's plan to invest in this movie? Wu Hai probably won't ask for a lot of share."

Tan Yiming shook his head slightly: "I just asked casually."

Yan Jinxi has just made a name for himself, and his capital is not much, and he seems to be a player who strives for stability every step of the way. For the first time, he wrote a script with passion, and he did not get carried away just because he won the New Talent Award.In addition, Wu Hai has been going around in independent movies, losing time and making money, and his reputation is not very famous.Together, the two of them dare not do things that cost too much.

Although "Suo Lin Sac" is not positioned as an independent film this time, Wu Hai intends to use it to try the waters of commercial films. The play has added the element of "the deep friendship between the two male protagonists" that is currently attracting the attention of the market.But it's still a water test.

In Gu Lan's mind, he estimated that the investment would be around [-] or [-] million yuan. For Yan Jinxi and Wu Hai, it would probably be enough to make them happy.

But he didn't say it out, Tan Yiming probably didn't need him to answer.

In the end, after a few weeks, when Gu Lan saw the investment statement, he learned that Tan Yiming had invested [-] million in "Suo Lin Nang".

Gu Lan always checks the investment in many film projects of Top Star. Generally speaking, Tan Yiming controls the profit risk, and Gu Lan can help him check the potential of his works.

From the script and Wu Hai's ability of the movie "Suolin Sac", in Gu Lan's mind, [-] million is really too much.

He raised his doubts to Tan Yiming.

Tan Yiming closed the door and confessed another secret to him.
