Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 367 366. Urgent Chen Li'an

In the quiet office, Lou Ye and Chen Li'an chatted happily, and Chen Li'an still won the role of Ma Da.

In fact, he didn't know whether Lou Ye agreed because he wanted to invest, or because his performance just now was really good.

But there is no difference. Chen Li'an is confident that he can play this role well.

To do something, either don’t do it or do it well!

Chen Li'an looked at Lou Ye and asked, "Is there a suitable candidate for the heroine now?"

Lou Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Yes, there is a sophomore student from Nortel who is pretty good. Do you know the swallow in the East Palace and the West Palace?"

"Yanzi? Is she suitable?" Chen Li'an always thinks of Qiong Yao when he thinks of Yanzi, and always feels that she is incompatible with literary films.

However, Yanzi did act in a few pretty good movies before he was admitted to Nortel, and he was quite capable, and his performance in East Palace and West Palace was also good.

Lou Ye said helplessly: "There are not many suitable people. Because I was worried about investment, many famous actors were not within my consideration range."

Chen Li'an nodded and said: "What do you think of Mr. Zhou? You should have seen her movies. Whether it's Xue'er in Red River Valley or Yang Yang in Little Wife, they are very distinctive. By the way, I will take you to see them. a movie."

Lou Ye asked curiously: "What movie?"

"You know that Jia Zhangke's Xiao Wu won an award in Berlin," Chen Li'an explained, then took out the disc and put it into the VCD.

Lou Ye nodded suddenly. He saw the news in the newspaper and saw that Mr. Zhou was the heroine.

A picture soon appeared on the TV, and the grainy picture of the shaky lens immediately attracted Lou Ye's attention.

Chen Li'an also sat next to him and watched with Lou Ye for a while before going out. He wanted to show Lou Ye the movie of Mr. Zhou. He might as well call Mr. Zhou over.

Maybe it would be better to chat after meeting.

Mr. Zhou was sleeping at home when she received Chen Li'an's call. She had just returned from Berlin and was still jet lagged.

"Why are you looking for me?" Mr. Zhou's voice was muffled, as if he had a cold.

Chen Li'an asked with concern: "Are you sick?"

"I don't know." Mr. Zhou got out of the quilt and touched his forehead and said dizzy, "My head is a little hot, maybe I have a fever."

"Then you wait for me at home. I'll go over right away and get some sleep first."

Mr. Zhou rubbed his nose and sighed, then covered himself with a quilt and fell asleep.

When I woke up, it was already dark outside.

Mr. Zhou sat up and smelled the aroma wafting in from outside the bedroom. After sleeping all day, she was already so hungry that she couldn't help but wrap herself up in quilt and jump out.

When he came to the kitchen door, he saw Chen Li'an wearing a black turtleneck sweater and making soup.

Mr. Zhou looked at Chen Li'an, who was wearing a black sweater, and his mind was still a little dazed. He remembered the winter when he first met Chen Li'an. At that time, Chen Li'an led him to rent a house and then decorated the house together.

In the hot kitchen, Chen Li'an tasted the beef soup in the pot. It was full of flavor and the beef was rotten.

This pot of beef soup was very good. Chen Li'an nodded with satisfaction. As soon as he put down the spoon, the kitchen door opened.

Like a little squirrel, Mr. Zhou came up to Chen Li'an wrapped in quilt and said coquettishly: "It smells so good, I'm so hungry."

"You're awake." Chen Li'an reached out and touched Mr. Zhou's forehead, and said with a smile: "The fever is gone. It's time for dinner. You go to the restaurant and wait for me."

"Uh-huh."

Mr. Zhou was wrapped in quilt with only one head exposed, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

After a while, Chen Li'an brought out the prepared meals. Mr. Zhou sat at the dining table like a Hakimi waiting for the meal to be served.

As soon as the soup was placed in front of her, she couldn't help but want to pick it up and drink it.

Chen Li'an quickly stopped and said, "It's too hot. Let's cool down."

"Then just feed me and help me cool down." Mr. Zhou turned sideways to face Chen Li'an and put his cold feet into Chen Li'an's arms.

Chen Li'an rubbed her head lovingly and said, "Okay, I'll feed you like a child."

"I am a patient, and this is special treatment for patients."

"Yes, yes, I am your male caregiver."

After Chen Li'an fed Mr. Zhou half a bowl of soup, he stopped giving it to her. He wanted to eat some food first so that he could recover quickly.

While Mr. Zhou was enjoying Chen Li'an's feeding, he asked curiously: "You said you are very busy these days. How come you have time to call me today?"

Chen Li'an put a piece of soft beef into Mr. Zhou's mouth and said, "There is a movie that I think is pretty good, so I would like to recommend you to act in it."

"Then you act?"

"Are you happy that we can act together again?"

"Happy! I want to eat an extra bowl of rice!"

"Eat small meals frequently. Eating too much will overload the stomach and intestines."

Young Master Zhou began to sweat on her forehead. Chen Li'an wiped the sweat from her head and said, "Okay, go back and sleep again and you will be completely healed."

Mr. Zhou opened his hand and said, "Take me back, I want to sleep with you."

"Then you have to be more honest." Chen Li'an warned.

Mr. Zhou blinked his big innocent eyes and said, "I'm very honest."

Chen Li'an snorted and said, "What are you doing with your feet? Are you being honest?"

"I'm just going to cover my feet." Mr. Zhou said, shrinking his neck.

"When you get better, I'll let you cover yourself up." Chen Li'an said, picking her up along Mr. Zhou's legs and heading towards the bedroom.

In the heated bedroom, Mr. Zhou snuggled into Chen Li'an's arms and said, "Didn't you tell me to be honest? Why are you not being honest? It hurts me. It's so hot."

Chen Li'an put his arm around Mr. Zhou's hand and squeezed her, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? That's a hot water bottle!"

"Oh, the hot water bottle is so hard."

"."

Go to sleep, go to sleep, don't think so much.

Early the next morning, Chen Li'an was sleeping soundly. Mr. Zhou, who woke up early, pinched his nose and teased the little elephant's trunk.

Chen Li'an opened his eyes and looked at Mr. Zhou's bright smile and couldn't help but rub her face.

"You're awake." Mr. Zhou kissed Chen Li'an on the face, then said with a wicked smile, "Why is your hot water bottle still so hot?"

Chen Li'an rolled his eyes at her and said, "The quality is good."

"No, I want to check it. What if it explodes because of the heat." Mr. Zhou said and got into the quilt.

Chen Li'an: "Hiss" It's easy to explode if you check like this!

Mr. Zhou is a bold man and is not afraid that the hot water bottle will explode. He changed the inspection method and it took nearly an hour to finish.

Mr. Zhou wiped the hot water bottle and said to Chen Li'an: "Not bad, the quality is indeed very good."

"Huh huh." Chen Li'an snorted twice in protest and got up after resting for a while.

I have to meet Lou Ye today. It was really not polite to leave in the middle of the conversation yesterday.

On the way to the company with Mr. Zhou, Chen Li'an asked: "Do you want to arrange an agent for you? You are somewhat famous now. I will be filming dramas with you in the future. It will be much easier to have someone to help you."

"Besides, if there is a suitable one, just look for it, just let it happen." Mr. Zhou said nonchalantly, subconsciously thinking that Chen Li'an was here and there would be no shortage of resources, so why worry.

"Okay, whatever you want."

After arriving at the company, Lou Ye had already arrived. When he saw Chen Li'an walking over with Mr. Zhou, his eyes suddenly brightened.

The state when Mr. Zhou and Chen Li'an are together is very similar to how Peony feels about Ma Da in the script, a kind of unconditional trust and dependence.

Lou Ye watched Mr. Zhou's role in Xiao Wuli yesterday and felt that she was very similar to Meimei in the script. Now that she sees how similar Mr. Zhou is to Mu Dan outside the movie, she has the same feeling in her heart.

Those two roles seemed to be tailor-made for Mr. Zhou.

The three of them sat down and chatted for a while before Lou Ye decided to cast Young Master Zhou. Young Master Zhou was a little surprised. This was the first time she had won a role so quickly and easily.

There was no surprise for Chen Li'an. Mr. Zhou was like a piece of gold. In the past two years, he could hardly cover up his own shine. Lou Ye was not stupid, so he could naturally see how suitable this piece of gold was for his movie.

With the two leading actors cast and investment secured, Lou Ye suddenly had no worries anymore. The only worry was when to start filming.

Chen Li'an said apologetically: "I won't have time until June or July."

"When is June?" Lou Ye asked, counting the days.

Chen Li'an thought for a while and said, "Let's wait until June."

The main reason is that he still doesn't know how Bai Qing's idea is going, and he's not sure whether he can finish it in June.

Lou Ye thought for a moment and said, "It's almost time, and there are a lot of things that need to be prepared in the early stage."

Mr. Zhou didn't have many arrangements, so he said, "I can do anything. I have only had a supporting role in one movie recently."

Lou Ye nodded and said, "That's good, this matter is settled."

"Okay, I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future!"

“Happy to work with!”

After the cooperation with Lou Ye was finalized, Chen Li'an was not idle. He was still busy on the fashion side, and he also had to meet with Cheng Shufen from time to time on the Miss Universe pageant.

The competition plan and organizational charter have been finalized, and the partners have also been decided.

It is China Television Media, which is a media company under CCTV. Xiangjiang has also reached cooperation with TVB.

Xiangjiang has rich experience in organizing beauty pageants, and Cheng Shufen also brought a lot of manpower from Xiangjiang.

At this time, Chen Li'an and Cheng Shufen were sitting together to discuss specific divisional competitions and sponsor selections.

"The mainland is divided into five regions. Macau and Xiangjiang have separate divisions, and the finals are in Shenzhen." Cheng Shufen rubbed her temples and said: "Ten people from each division are selected to participate in the finals. The champion is the representative of the Chinese region participating in the world competition. "

Chen Li'an nodded and said, "Okay, do you want to start promoting it now?"

"It hasn't officially started yet. Let's finalize the sponsors first." Cheng Shufen took out more than 20 alternative sponsor brands and said: "Fashion and beauty brands are the most popular, there are also two red wine brands and three jewelry brands, and other types of brands. I suggest you simply ignore the sponsors.”

Chen Li'an looked at the information and said: "No problem, for the first time, the selection of sponsors must be more precise. Only with the advertising effect can we attract more sponsors."

"Well, I think so too. Now it's a matter of sponsorship fees. How to set this standard?"

"According to CCTV's bidding model, the one with the highest bid will win." Chen Li'an said with a smile: "We will conduct a screening first, and then the remaining sponsors will gather together to bid."

Cheng Shufen nodded and said, "That's fine, it's the simplest and most direct."

Cheng Shufen closed the document and said: "Basically, that's all. After the sponsor is finalized, comprehensive publicity will begin in April. May to June will be the primary election, June will be divided into divisions, the finals will be participated in July, and the official event will be held in August. Finish."

"What about the judges? The judges of the sub-competition areas and the judges of the finals." Chen Li'an looked at Chen Shufen and warned: "It must be open and transparent, don't let people in casually, don't play with hidden rules, this is the mainland, not Hong Kong, Be sure to pay attention to the impact.”

Cheng Shufen nodded and said: "I know, as for the judges, I will invite some Miss Xiangjiang and international supermodels, and the mainland will also choose some celebrities, such as you.

As for the unspoken rules, I will pay attention to them, and I will also keep an eye on them in Hong Kong and Macau. There must be no negative news in the first session. "

Chen Li'an hummed and said, "This is best."

"Okay, that's it for today. I have a headache when I see these documents. I need to have a good rest tonight." Cheng Shufen said tiredly while leaning on the sofa.

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "Sister Shufen is working so hard, I will show you tonight and cook you a steak dinner."

"You said Western food is easy, you just want to be lazy." Cheng Shufen said jokingly.

Chen Li'an shouted that he was wronged and said, "No, Western food is more to your taste."

"Whatever you say makes sense." Cheng Shufen joked with a smile.

"To be honest, just sit back and wait."

After seeing off Cheng Shufen in the evening, Chen Li'an also went back a little tired to get ready for bed.

During this period of time, Chen Li'an was busy designing clothes every day, and he hardly had any good sleep. There were so many messy things in between, and he was so busy.

The only good news during this period is that several TV series have been sold. Chen Meiren is no longer chasing Chen Li'an for money, mainly because she hasn't come back from Wanwan.

The company's accounts are extraordinarily sufficient. Although Huanzhu is only sold to Wanwan for CTV's first broadcast, the price is still good. Once Wanwan finishes broadcasting in the mainland, the price will be much easier to negotiate.

I just don’t know if this version of Return of the Pearl can become a phenomenon-level TV series.

Chen Li'an is actually quite unsure. Chen Zihan's version of crape myrtle is much prettier than Lin Xinru's. Fan Bingbing's little swallow is also pretty good, full of aura, but not as naughty as the swallow, but there is still a difference in feeling. .

However, Chen Li'an has watched a few episodes and found that there are still plenty of jokes. It is very different from traditional historical dramas. It is completely the template of a bloody comedy. Even if it is not as good as the original version, it will not be far behind.

There are no TV series of this type in the Mainland market yet. As the first person to try it out, no matter how bad the results are, it won’t be any worse.

On the other side of the capital, Chen Zihan is extremely nervous now. Huanzhu will be broadcast in Wanwan in two days, and she is very worried that she will follow in Jiang Qingqing's footsteps.

The Qiong Yao drama starring Jiang Qingqing has already crashed without even making a splash.

Jiang Qingqing has been extremely depressed recently, and she still signed a contract with Qiong Yao. She really regrets it.

"Are you very happy that I'm not famous?" Jiang Qingqing looked at Chen Zihan and asked.

Chen Zihan was stunned for a moment and said, "No, I'm so nervous myself that I don't have time to laugh at you."

"You really want to laugh at me!" Jiang Qingqing immediately rushed over and pressed Chen Zihan under her body and said, "You are playing, I must make you look good tonight."

Unable to move, Chen Zihan immediately called for help: "Bingbing! Help, come and save me!"

"Come on, come on!" Fan Bingbing rushed over wearing furry pajamas.

Three women and one drama, but no one saw this somewhat erotic drama.

After September 8th came, Chen Li'an felt an inexplicable sense of urgency in his heart. It was a strange feeling, as if the gears of fate were speeding up, as if everyone would disappear tomorrow.

Chen Li'an didn't know where his feeling came from. It wasn't until he received a call from Li Fuzhen that he realized that he had forgotten about the MP3 these days.

Li Fuzhen has now arrived in Guangdong and officially entered Samsung China's branch.

Now I want to meet Chen Li'an and talk about cooperation.

Chen Li'an really doesn't have time to fly over now. Even if he had time, Chen Li'an would not fly over to meet Li Fuzhen.

MP3 has not yet been successfully developed and is still stuck in the most critical step. Now and in the past, he couldn't tell Li Fuzhen what his project was.

Lixin is still too weak now. It took several months to develop an MP3 player. If it were replaced by Samsung, it is estimated that it would be successfully developed in at most two months.

In terms of technology reserves and talent reserves, the gap between the two is as wide as a galaxy.

I don’t know how many years it will take to catch up.

Chen Li'an rejected Li Fuzhen's invitation to meet on the phone, which made Li Fuzhen angry, but more suspicious of what Chen Li'an was doing.

I'm really curious about the project Chen Li'an mentioned. What kind of project would make Chen Li'an cover it up so tightly?

After Li Fuzhen got familiar with the Samsung branch, he started looking for people to inquire about Lixin VCD.

Samsung's branch also makes VCDs, but its sales in the Chinese market are completely outperformed by Flixin. Samsung entered China a little late. Flixin has become the leader in this industry, and it is too difficult to surpass it.

Soon someone sent Li Fuzhen detailed information about Lixin, even the most confidential sales and cost data, as well as the development progress of the next generation product.

Li Fuzhen flipped through the information for a long time and still couldn't figure out what Chen Li'an was doing.

If it is the next generation of VCD, there is no need to hide it. There is no big innovation, and there is no need to spend time on innovation.

Li Fuzhen put down the documents and looked at his secretary and asked: "Besides these, is there any other news from Lixin?"

Secretary Li Fuzhen is a Chinese who has been working in the branch for more than a year and has been responsible for collecting this information. He thought for a while and said, "I heard before that their R\u0026D team received a large bonus."

Li Fuzhen's eyes lit up and he immediately asked: "What time?"

"At the end of December last year!"

The corners of Li Fuzhen's lips curled up slightly, and he had an idea in his mind. He said to his secretary, "Go and help me investigate what projects they are developing."

"This is too difficult. I have inquired about it before, but this project is highly confidential."

"Then you go and investigate whether they have recently purchased any materials that are not required for VCD and then make assumptions!"

"Okay, I'll go now."

After the secretary left, Li Fuzhen knocked on the table and said to himself: "Chen Li'an, I can find out even if you don't tell me!"

Chen Li'an didn't know yet that he was about to be unmasked. He was currently working overtime and busy with work in the capital, and was planning to take the time to fly to Shenzhen to follow up on the progress of MP3 development.

In the film and television company, Chen Li'an looked at Chen Zihan, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and asked with confusion: "What's wrong with your neck?"

Chen Zihan subconsciously touched the red mark on his neck, pursed his lips and said aggrievedly: "Jiang Qingqing bit it."

Chen Li'an frowned, stretched out his hand to press her collar, took a look and said, "Why did she bite you? Does it hurt?"

"She is sick. She took it out on me when her TV series was not popular. Bingbing was also spanked by her." Chen Zihan took the opportunity to complain and said angrily: "You have to help me take out my anger."

Chen Li'an couldn't help laughing, turned to look at the blushing Fan Bingbing, rubbed Chen Zihan's head and said, "Okay, I'll help you get revenge later. I'll go to your place tonight."

"Okay! You hold her down for me, and I will bite her back!" Chen Zihan said fiercely.

"no problem."

Chen Li'an replied and got down to business. He handed a document to Chen Zihan and Fan Bingbing and said, "Mr. Chen hasn't come back from Wanwan recently. The contract just sent requires you to go to Wanwan to promote it."

"Is it just me and Bingbing?" Chen Zihan asked excitedly as he had not been to Wanwan yet.

"Everyone from the crew will go, it will take about a week." Chen Li'an looked at Fan Bingbing and said, "By the way, Bingbing, if your family is worried, you can ask your parents to accompany you, and the company will reimburse the round trip expenses. "

Fan Bingbing said immediately: "It's okay. I can do it alone. I'm not a child anymore."

Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, then you can follow your sister Zihan and let her take care of you."

Chen Zihan and Fan Bingbing looked at each other, with a strange emotion flashing in their eyes. They had been taking care of each other for a long time.

"Zihan, you usually lead more troops. This time you go to Wanwan and treat it as a trip." Chen Li'an warned Chen Zihan again. He always felt that Chen Zihan was a person who needed to be taken care of.

Chen Zihan immediately agreed: "I promise to take good care of him and not separate him when he sleeps!"

"Sister Zihan!" Fan Bingbing pulled Chen Zihan's arm in shame.

Chen Li'an looked at them strangely, always feeling that this scene seemed familiar, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

I don’t want to think about it anymore. Let’s go to Chen Zihan’s place to ask again in the evening. We also need to educate Jiang Qingqing not to bully others all the time. After all, we are good sisters who fight together.

Tonight, the sisters must get back together and fight together!

It’s only 6,000 today. I had a little extra rest on Sunday, so I didn’t write so much. Dear adoptive fathers, please forgive me!
