Porcelain to Porcelain

For the next period of time, Zhou Hongxun never visited Ju Zhai during his apprenticeship.Xie Pu was busy selecting candidates for the role of Juxian, so he didn't have time to come over, so he needed to communicate on the phone.Wang Guishanghai and Wuxi ran between the two places. Under the busy schedule, if he didn't go to Jiang Ge to play cards, his addiction to cards was almost gone.

Feng Hao went back to read the script of "Farewell My Concubine". That night, he wrote an article about his impressions after reading it, and published it in a very influential newspaper. First, he did publicity for the film.

After that, Feng Hao used the reason of discussing the plot, and came to Ju Zhai to look for Lu Qiu every two days.

Lu Qiu's master changed from one to two. Ju Gui was strict, while Feng Hao was strict and picky, and he had to train Lu Qiu every time to be comfortable.

Lu Qiu is not a master who accepts everything. Feng Hao gave him small shoes to wear, and he threatened Feng Hao in turn.The so-called threat is not to talk to Feng Hao in front of Ju Gui.

Feng Hao entered Ju's house under the pretext of discussing, but the author stopped talking to him, and even discussed it.

Having no excuses, Feng Hao was very afraid that Ju Gui would drive him away, so in desperation, he had no choice but to soften his attitude and show some love for Lu Qiu from time to time.

Time passed quickly. After learning art from Ju Gui for a month, Lu Qiu lost more than a dozen catties and at the same time learned the basic postures and techniques in a decent way, which is enough to bluff a layman.

After the news that Zhou Hongxun, the boss of Feixun Company, had invested tens of millions to make a Liyuan film, many agents in the show business circle got in touch with Xie Pu one after another.Xie Pu's bad friend, Li Weiming, the boss of Huanyu, also had the cheek to recommend his company's artists to Xie Pu.

There are only three protagonists in Farewell My Concubine, Cheng Dieyi and Duan Xiaolou have been pre-determined, and only the role of Juxian is left. There are many actors who are interested in Juxian. Host Song Xueqing took the initiative to compete for roles.

Huanyu's artists are not well-known, and Xie Pu gave Li Weiming's company actors a few trick roles.Chen Wei's acting skills can be fooled on the small screen, but the big screen is slightly inferior.Song Xueqing's temperament did not match that of a prostitute, and Xie Pu didn't like it.Feeling that there are no suitable actors in China, Xie Pu turned his attention to Hong Kong and Taiwan. He likes two actresses.

Hong Kong and Taiwan’s economy is more developed than that of the mainland, and the film and television industry is also more prosperous than that of the mainland. Artists’ remuneration is very different from that of mainland actors. With similar popularity in China, the remuneration of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists is six to seven times, or even ten times higher than that of mainland actors.

"Farewell My Concubine" has sufficient funds due to Zhou Hongxun's capital injection, but if the salary for the role of Juxian is too high, it will not be enough, and additional investment will be required.

Juxian's salary is too high, which is unfair to the other two leading actors and is not conducive to the unity of the crew.Therefore, the salary offered by Xie Pu was not high, and the two actresses had to lower their salary if they wanted to accept it.

For an actor, a reduction in salary is a reduction in status. When this happens, it is often because of the reputation that is going to be blurred, which is quite out of character.Many popular movie stars would rather not make a film than lose their value.

With the heart of giving it a try, Shep sent an invitation to the actress' agent.

An actress manager immediately refused, and another Lu Ya manager who had won the Best Actress Award only responded with a sentence of consideration.

After waiting for half a month, before considering the results, Xie Pu felt that there was no hope, so he had to re-prepare to cast in China, and tried several first- and second-tier actresses, but Xie Pu was not satisfied.

Just when Xie Pu was discouraged, Lu Ya's manager finally called and asked to read the script.Upon hearing this, Xie Pu took the script and flew to Hong Kong himself.After reading the script, Lu Ya expressed her willingness to take the role of Juxian at a reduced salary.

The film queen's salary is around 400 million, and the self-decreasing salary is also [-] million. This is half the discount, and it can't be lower.For the pay, Lu Ya's agent was very unhappy, only when Lu Ya insisted strongly, the agent reluctantly agreed.

The stingy director Xie Pu thought behind closed doors at the Gangcheng Hotel for a day, and the mentality of pursuing meticulous perfection prevailed. After calling Zhou Hongxun to report, he signed a contract with Lu Ya.

In mid-April, after all the actors had been selected and all preparations were in place, Shep picked an auspicious day to hold the opening ceremony.

The 400 million film remuneration was not in vain. Lu Ya has a high influence in the country. On the day of the opening ceremony, almost all entertainment media sent reporters.In addition, on the same day, Ju Gui, Feng Hao, and many other domestic art circles came to join the scene, and the scene was very lively, directly catching up with Huaying's big production "Han Wu Feng Yun".However, Zhou Hongxun did not show up, and his assistant, Wen Te, stood in the corner low-key on behalf of the boss.

Seeing Wen Te, Lu Qiu realized that he hadn't seen Zhou Hongxun for nearly a month.Thinking of Zhou Hongxun, Lu Qiu felt very guilty. In the past month, he was busy studying opera and didn't make a phone call to say hello. Zhou Hongxun treated him very well.

"Mr. Zhou is busy recently?" After the ceremony, Lu Qiu found an opportunity to walk to Wen Te's side. It was the first time he had contact with Zhou Hongxun's subordinates.

"Well, I'm quite busy. I'm going to Beijing for a meeting soon." In May, Zhou Hongxun was going to Beijing for the National People's Congress.

Wen Te quietly looked at Lu Qiu, and after looking at him, he felt that if he was not too thin, his appearance could be described as perfect, no wonder he would attract women's attention.

"Please sign it, my wife is your fan."

Wen Te smiled mischievously, took out a pen and a notebook from his briefcase, and handed them to Lu Qiu.This is the task assigned by my wife, if I can't finish it, I will go home and kneel on the keyboard.

Lu Qiu took the pen, swiped it twice, and two flamboyant characters landed on the notebook.

"Your pen writing is really good, did you work hard?" Wen Te looked at it over and over in his hand. His diploma is very high, and the handwriting is average.Fortunately, Zhou Hongxun only paid attention to his ability to handle affairs, and didn't care whether his writing was good or not.

"Yes, it turns out that the handwriting looks like a primary school student, and it will be fine if you practice more." Lu Qiu's handwriting has been practiced hard in the previous life, and it is much more beautiful than Lu Qiusheng.Using handwriting as an excuse, the difference in handwriting between the two was well covered up.

Lu Qiu has only acted in Ming Qiu (group performances are not counted), thanks to the popularity of "Spring and Autumn Love and Enmity", the charming scene on the cliff left a deep impression on the audience, and his popularity is as high as that of a third-tier actor.

Among the movie fans who came to the film and television city, one out of ten movie fans had an impression of Qiuming. When they saw Lu Qiu, they would ask Lu Qiu to sign and take a photo with him.Fans who don't know Lu Qiu, seeing Lu Qiu's handsome appearance, also come to take pictures with him.

Lu Qiu is well aware of the importance of fans, and has an amiable attitude. As long as it is not too much, fans' requests will be met one by one.

Fans believe that Lu Qiu has a good appearance, and if he is not popular now, he will become popular sooner or later. When he becomes famous, he will not be so close.Now you can sign autographs and take pictures to earn money, so Lu Qiu is very popular with movie fans in the film and television city.

Wen Te gave Lu Qiu a thumbs up: "Okay, you are talented! Mr. Zhou also has a good handwriting, but I can't practice it."

Because his wife is a fan of Qiuming, Wen Te didn't have a good impression of Lu Qiu at first.However, as the first assistant of Feixun Company, from Zhou Hongxun's words and deeds, he could smell the importance his boss attached to Lu Qiu.

How dare the subordinates hate someone that the boss values. Went came here on behalf of the boss this time, and Went just wanted to have a good relationship with Lu Qiu, so he treated Lu Qiu so warmly.

As for Lu Qiu, he only felt that birds of a feather flock together, the boss is gentle and gentle, and his subordinates are also polite and warm.The two chatted for a while, and the fans who were looking for Lu Qiu's autograph crowded over and separated the two.

All the well-known actors in the crew were chased by Wen Te to sign. Seeing that the time was almost up, Wen Te drove back to Shanghai.Back in Shanghai, it was getting late, and this trip was considered a business trip, so Wen Te planned to go home without going to the company to clock in.

Just after entering the gate of the community, Zhou Hongxun's phone call arrived.

"Went, have you been to the company yet?"

"It's almost time, there are still 10 minutes." When Wen Te heard it, he immediately realized what the boss meant. He was asking him to go to the company to report on today's opening ceremony.

"Well, I'll be waiting for you in the office."

"Yes, I'll be there soon." Wen Te wiped off the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, because he underestimated the importance of "Farewell My Concubine" in the boss's heart.

Zhou Hongxun didn't even have to personally intervene in projects where the company invested hundreds of millions. "Farewell My Concubine" only invested a mere 1000 million. It's no wonder that Wen Te's understanding was biased.

This time period is the off-duty time, and the traffic on the road is turbulent. Wentlian hurried to the company, and it took more than 10 minutes to arrive at the company.Most of the company's employees clocked out of work, except for those workaholics in the technical department.The large-scale online game "Heroes of the Bone" has just been tested publicly, and the technical geeks have basically taken over the company.

Wen Te knocked on the door and entered the boss's office, and found that the boss was standing in front of the large French window looking down at the ground. For some reason, Wen Te suddenly looked at the back, showing a sense of desolation.

"Come on, sit down."

As soon as Zhou Hongxun turned around, the bleakness disappeared without a trace, and the majestic aura radiated.Wen Te blinked, thinking that he was too tired and his eyes were dizzy.

"How's the situation? Is it going well?"

"It's going well, it's going well." Wen Te nodded again and again: "There are a lot of reporters, and the fans of Lu Ya and Sun Jiaxing surrounded the scene tightly. I think Lu Yinghou and Sun Jiaxing's autographs need to be signed."

A smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Hongxun's mouth: "No fans looking for Lu Qiu?"

"Yes, and screaming at Lu Qiu." Wen Te chuckled. "Lu Qiu's face is very attractive."

"Lu Qiu has more than one face." Zhou Hongxun's eyelids drooped, feeling that his assistant's smile was really wretched.

"Yes, there is also a figure, long legs and thin waist, and no matter how tall it is, it is enough to walk on the fashion stage in Paris. If this film is well acted, Lu Qiu will definitely be popular."

With the capital injection from Feixun, actress Lu Ya as the leading actor, and free voluntary art direction, all the news attracted the attention of the outside world. As a result, "Farewell My Concubine" was frequently reported by newspapers and TV, and attracted the attention of the media and fans even before filming started.

Zhou Hongxun frowned, Lu Qiuhong's death was not a good thing for him.The more famous you are, the less privacy you have.

Wen Te looked at Zhou Hongxun, feeling a little apprehensive.The boss doesn't seem very happy, what did you say just now?It seems not.

"Actually, after watching Lu Qiu, I realized that being an actor is very hard."

"Oh?" Zhou Hongxun raised his eyes and looked at the assistant, which was a sign of encouraging his subordinates to continue talking.

Seeing that the boss was interested in listening, Wen Te was refreshed: "In order to play Cheng Dieyi well, Lu Qiu learned to be an opera actor while walking and eating. The skinny man looks good in costumes, so he lost [-] catties."

"Is he physically fit? How is his spirit?" Zhou Hongxun's heart had already flown 130 kilometers away.

"You're in good spirits, and you're still asking me how you are."

"Oh, is that so?" The corners of Zhou Hongxun's lips twitched slightly.Just know how to say hello to your subordinates, but don't know how to make a phone call?

"He said he was waiting for you to take him to Jiayao to eat roast suckling pig."

"So I remembered roast suckling pig." Zhou Hongxun smiled: "He should be so greedy when he sees meat now."

"That's right, the braised pork knuckle is all stared at at the banquet, and I'm not a monk, who can stand being a vegetarian every day."

Zhou Hongxun imagined Lu Qiu drooling.The smile on his face widened.

Wen Te said some other things about the ceremony, which did not involve Lu Qiu, and Zhou Hongxun listened absent-mindedly.The report was almost finished, Zhou Hongxun asked Wen Te to go home from get off work.

After Wen Te left, Zhou Hongxun stood in front of the French window again.Outside the window, the lights of the city at night are bright and charming, as if the figure in the heart, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves, every time they decide to give up, the next day they miss it even more.

Lu Qiu said that he must consider the social environment, and he would give up the feelings that affect his future, which gave Zhou Hongxun a blow.The love between two men is taboo in today's society, Zhou Hongxun needs to consider the impact, and Lu Qiu also needs to.

Lu Qiu is walking the road of film and television star, the more successful he is, the less privacy he has.Once the private life is exposed, it will be ruined.

How can people who are also in the public eye live together without leaking secrets?Do you want to ruin Lu Qiu's acting career first?At that moment, Zhou Hongxun regretted investing in "Farewell My Concubine".If Lu Qiu was an ordinary person, they would be safe together.

Zhou Hongxun thought wildly for a while with his forehead against the cold tempered glass, and suddenly smiled bitterly. He is still not sure about Lu Qiu's sexual orientation, whether Lu Qiu accepts his feelings or not.

The premise is not sure, it's useless to think too much!
