Recalcitrant

The reason why Chen Zhuo was able to say the same thing in the group was not that he relied on his status as a capitalist to bully others, and an outsider guided experts. It was because before he established a film and television company, he was an actor at first, and later became a director.

Chen Zhuo was born in a family of performers. He started acting before he could speak. Over the past 20 years, he has created more classic screen characters than some actors put together in their lifetime.He himself is still the youngest actor in the history of the Flying Eagle Award. During the years when his career was in full swing, some people joked that there are three things in a person's day, eating, sleeping, and seeing Chen Zhuo in commercials.

Even though he has retreated behind the scenes now, the fan base is still huge, covering all ages.

Seven years ago, he tried to direct his first film and achieved good results, so much so that he suddenly announced his retirement from filming. Many people sighed.

Leaving the field at the peak is a decision that many people cannot understand, but perhaps for a person like Chen Zhuo who was born in Rome, it is too easy to get everything. Play ticket nature.

Just like the attitude of ordinary people towards video games, no one will be reluctant to withdraw after the achievement is achieved.

Just as Jiang Xiaobo came back from the phone call, he saw Chen Zhuo seriously asking the actor who played the female killer: Do you think this character likes to drink or drink tea every time after killing someone?

This is something not in the script, and in Jiang Xiaobo's opinion, it has nothing to do with the movie.

But since the director asked, no matter how unhappy he was, the actors still had to make up nonsense in a serious manner.

Come on, Jiang Xiaobo rolled his eyes in his heart, now he even has to do the work of training actors himself.The requirements for the film are so high, I can just go straight to directing, and I will leave it here as some kind of boss.

Of course, Jiang Xiaobo just thought about these words in his heart. Although he is Chen Yao's high school classmate and the production producer of the film crew, and he worked with Chen Yao as an executive manager for a period of time, but he has no courage Tell him that to his face.

Seeing Jiang Xiaobo coming, Chen Zhuo was distracted and asked, "Aren't you here yet?"

Jiang Xiaobo shook his head and said, "I have called several times, but no one answered."

After finishing the location in Guizhou, the crew moved back to the city to start a new stage of shooting.The next filming will be Xu Luojia's rivalry with the heroine, but until now, he has not appeared on the set, not even answering the phone.

"Call him one last time." The delay lasted for nearly two hours, and the staff on the scene were full of complaints. Chen Yan didn't show any emotion on his face, but he didn't care about the old feelings at all when he said it: "If you still If you don’t answer, the role will be replaced.”

Jiang Xiaobo agreed, thinking, it's over, Chen Yao is going to settle the account.

As if in response to Chen Zhuo's words, as soon as he finished speaking, a black Alpha stopped outside.In the extravagant entertainment circle, an Alfa is not considered a luxury car, but the series of numbers "8" on the license plate shows that the owner is extraordinary.

Soon, some good-natured people in the crowd recognized that it was one of Lu Shaoheng's cars.

This conjecture was quickly confirmed, the electric car door slowly opened, surrounded by a group of assistants and mothers, Xu Luojia had a big toad mirror lying on his face, holding Lu Shaoheng's arm proudly, and walked out of the car down.

Seeing the concubine visiting relatives, Jiang Xiaobo's throat was about to utter a national curse, and because of Lu Shaoheng's face, he couldn't swallow it, and it was hard to curse it out.

In the end, he could only turn a livid face, and beckoned to the makeup artist to go forward and take the man away for makeup and hair.

Along with Xu Luojia's arrival, what was sent to the main creators was a brand new script.In this new script, which still smells like ink, Xu Luojia's role in the role has been raised from the male fourth to the level comparable to the second male lead. Looking at it from a glance, it seems to be a bit of the popular dual male protagonists nowadays.

In filming, it is usually the whole body that is affected by one hair. This new script is no less than a deep-water torpedo. It stirs up turbulent waves in the whole group in three or two strokes, and all parties can't sit still.

"This, this, this..." The director held the unfamiliar script and uttered several meaningless syllables one after another.He secretly glanced at Chen Zhuo, then at Lu Shaoheng's direction, and for a moment didn't know which wall to fall the grass on.

The instigator, Lu Shaoheng, didn't notice the ups and downs on the set. He leaned in front of the make-up mirror without sitting, and accompanied Xu Luojia's make-up very considerately. dare not laugh.

Jiang Xiaobo knocked on the door, and said to Lu Shaoheng with a straight face, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Chen, please go over."

Lu Shaoheng opened his eyelids, leaned back slightly, and glanced at Chen Zhuo not far away through the crack of the door.

Chen Yao came here to invite someone now, presumably because he had read the script, and judging from what he meant, it was probably because he was not satisfied with the script.

"What's wrong?" Lu Shaoheng straightened his body and asked knowingly.

Jiang Xiaobo said flatly: "Chen Zhuo has something to talk to you about."

Hearing that Chen Yao was looking for Mr. Lu for something, Xu Luojia became a little nervous. Although he got what he wanted now, Chen Yao was not an easy person to deal with. Lu Shaoheng's approach made him feel a little uncertain.

Lu Shaoheng patted him on the shoulder lightly, signaling him not to worry, then stood up and followed Jiang Xiaobo out of the dressing room.

For Lu Shaoheng's arrival, Chen Zhuo did not express anything special. He stared intently at the monitor, which was adjusting the direction of a prop copper incense burner.

The prop master fiddled with the incense burner several times, and finally adjusted it to the angle he was satisfied with. Chen Zhuo looked away and asked, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean, don't you think he has good qualifications?" Lu Shaoheng had already sat down beside Chen Yao, and naturally knew what Chen Yao wanted to talk to him about: "Nowadays IPs are popular to add male and female elements, ours The script has this foundation, which is just right."

"Whoever you want to praise is your freedom." Chen Zhuo said to Lu Shaoheng: "But don't come to hinder my business."

"I didn't hinder you, I really like him very much." Lu Shaoheng flipped through the storyboard script on the side, and wrote lightly: "It's just a movie, so it doesn't matter, besides, you are neither an actor nor a director. Just follow the trend and make money with peace of mind.”

During the conversation, Lu Shaoheng glanced at the director who was running around like a headless chicken in the field of vision, and teased: "In case word-of-mouth collapses and bad reviews flood or something, that foolish boy will take care of it."

After all, in these years, sometimes the quality of a movie is not directly proportional to its box office performance, businessmen value profits, and other things can be discussed later.

"Lu Shaoheng." Chen Zhuo turned to look at Lu Shaoheng, and said in a low voice, "I'll give you time, deal with this person well, and don't affect the progress of the filming."

Seeing that Chen Zhuo got angry, Lu Shaoheng smiled as if deliberately plucking the hair from the tiger's tail: "Chen Zhuo, it sounds like we met for the first time, isn't this the trick I often use to chase people? "

As he said that, he moved closer to Chen Zhuo, looked into his eyes without hesitation, and said in an ambiguous tone: "Don't forget, the relationship between you and me was also caused by me."

**

People in this world who want to be directors and make movies can be roughly divided into two types. One kind wants to enter the film industry and regards being a director as a springboard, while the other simply wants to make movies.

Chen Zhuo is obviously the second type. His father, Chen Guangyu, is one of the top directors in China. He has stood at the top of the film industry since he was born. He has participated in the big investment and big productions of various famous directors since he was a child. Undeductible resource coffee.

Filming, becoming famous, and winning the best actor, all became a matter of course when it came to Chen Zhuo.

The first time Chen Zhuo met Lu Shaoheng seven years ago was on a luxury cruise ship.This year, a feature film he participated in not only raked in 28 billion box office, but also won the best feature film award. The producer's father was so happy that he held an unprecedented celebration banquet on the cruise ship.

In addition to the film's main creators, there were also many film and television stars and celebrities who participated in this celebration banquet. It can be said that it is a Vanity Fair condensed into the essence.

The cruise ship sailed into the high seas, and many activities that were not seen in ordinary times took to the stage one after another at this time.In the spacious hall, several oval tables are lined up one by one.Chen Zhuo was sitting facing the blonde girl, and the chips in his hand were piled as high as a hill.

Chen Zhuo's luck was good tonight, as soon as he played, he killed all sides and became the only winner.Just when everyone thought he was going to win a lot of money, Chen Zhuo pushed the chips in front of him on the table, and turned to Jiang Xiaobo: "Give everyone a share of the chips."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yao stood up and left without playing anymore.Seeing this, the sexy beauty who had been standing behind him from just now quickly followed up and took his arm affectionately.

Before Chen Yao walked out of the casino hall, Jiang Xiaobo endured the heartache and finished dividing the chips, and trotted all the way to catch up.At this moment, Lu Shaoheng suddenly appeared, blocking their way.

That day Lu Shaoheng wore a dark haute couture dress without a bow tie.Two buttons on the neckline were undone, revealing the sharp collarbone.

This kind of attire appeared among a group of formally dressed "elites", which inexplicably added a touch of prodigal sexiness.Chen Zhuo's first reaction when he saw him was that this guy looks really good.

But this person's sense of aggression was extremely strong, which made Chen Zhuo, who was also used to gaining the upper hand, feel a little uncomfortable, so his second reaction was naturally: a good dog does not block the way.

"Lu Shaoheng." Lu Shaoheng stretched out his hand to Chen Zhuo with a smile, and gave his name as self-introduction.

At that time, Chen Zhuo didn't know Lu Shaoheng. There were thousands of beautiful skins in this world, and a good-looking man was not enough for him to take a high look at him.

Besides, this person is not a good person at first sight.

So Chen Zhuo kept walking, and he was about to go around.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Jiang Xiaobo, who was in charge of the economy at the time, quickly whispered a few words in Chen Zhuo's ear. Chen Zhuo listened to Jiang Xiaobo's introduction, and turned his gaze back to Lu Shaoheng's face again, thinking, so he is from Star Media Second-generation ancestor.

Star Media is well-known in the industry. It first made a fortune by acting as an agent for TV station advertisements. Later, relying on the founder's unique vision and courage, he shot several phenomenal films in succession, thus formally entering the film and television industry.

Today's Juxing Media not only focuses on the investment and production of film and television dramas, but also takes into account the star economic business. It has many famous directors and actors. Chen Yao's father, Chen Guangyu, has maintained in-depth cooperation with Juxing since his debut. It is a mutual achievement.

It can be said that Chen Guangyu's status today is due to the support of Juxing, and for Juxing, Chen Guangyu is a chicken that lays golden eggs.

Coincidentally, the parents of both parties have such a close relationship, but the second generation has never met.

"Chen Zhuo." Knowing the identity of the visitor, Chen Zhuo stopped and gently shook Lu Shaoheng's hand.

As soon as he finished saying his name, Chen Yao realized that this self-introduction was a bit redundant. This person would stand in front of him today, so he must have come prepared.

Lu Shaoheng didn't take Chen Zhuo's negligence to heart, nor did he hide the purpose of his trip, he looked up at Chen Zhuo, and said straight to the point: "I came here specially to find you today, let's find a place to sit down and talk?"

As soon as they meet, they have to sit down and talk. It can be seen that in the eyes of these rich second generations, everyone in the world is his family, and no matter who they are, they must give him face.

Chen Zhuo was about to refuse, but Jiang Xiaobo beside him had already agreed for him: "This is not a place to talk, let's go to the lounge to chat."

Jiang Xiaobo took them to the lounge on the top floor, because Lu Shaoheng was killed on the way, and the little beauty who finally hooked Chen Zhuo's arm had to leave with hatred.

As soon as the waitress put the drinks on the table, Lu Shaoheng took out a film and television investment contract and put it on the table.

Jiang Xiaobo looked through the contract suspiciously. In this contract, a rough cooperation framework was drawn up, and the vacant column of investment amount implied that Party A had a lot of money.

"What does this mean?" Chen Zhuo asked.

"I heard from a friend that you want to make a movie and transform yourself into a director." Lu Shaoheng picked up his glass and took a sip: "I happen to be a little interested in investing in movies recently."

"You want to cooperate with me." Chen Zhuo understood Lu Shaoheng's intention this time, and asked again: "Why should I promise you?"

"Just because your old man doesn't nod, no one will dare to give you change." Lu Shaoheng is not ashamed, and even a little proud: "And I have been deviant since I was a child, and I like to do ridiculous things."

No matter who heard that Chen Yao wanted to direct a movie by himself, the first thought that came to mind was: These days, any cat or dog can be a director.

Even Chen Zhuo's father was no exception. Chen Guangyu trained Chen Zhuo as an actor since he was a child, and regarded him as the most proud work in his life.Unexpectedly, in the first year of being admitted to the acting department, Chen Zhuo decided to drop out of school and retake the exam, and later he majored in directing.

I don't know if he really thinks that Chen Zhuo is not expected to be a director, or because he is annoyed that his son disobeyed his wishes. In short, Chen Guangyu is very opposed to Chen Yao's desire to be a director, and even made a special statement at a gathering of industry leaders, No one is allowed to mess around with Chen Zhuo.

Chen Lao's words completely strangled Chen Zhuo's source, so the olive branch thrown by Lu Shaoheng at this time was particularly attractive to Chen Zhuo.

"Tell me about your purpose."

But there is no free lunch in the world, Chen Zhuo's mind is still clear, if he wants to get something, he must pay the price.

In front of Jiang Xiaobo, Lu Shaoheng said surprisingly: "Of course I want to chase you."

Chen Zhuo was startled for a moment, not knowing how to answer the question, while Jiang Xiaobo took a big sip of wine and coughed so loudly.

Seeing Jiang Xiaobo's reaction was so intense, Lu Shaoheng thought about it for a second, and felt that it was a bit abrupt for him to say this when they first met, so he said: "Well, that's not accurate, I just want to sleep with you, I didn't talk about it. Love means, don’t worry about it.”

Well, it's better not to explain, Jiang Xiaobo almost coughed up his lungs.

Chen Zhuo was also amused by Lu Shaoheng's words. As a well-known resource guy, it was the first time that Chen Yao was hit with resources. He didn't expect that he would also be able to sell his luster to the top position, and it was a bit novel for a while.

"Just because of this?" Chen Zhuo glanced at the investment contract and asked.If it's just for an investment, as long as Chen Zhuo is willing to put down his face, he can always get money, which is far from the point where he needs to sell himself.

"Of course not." After making unreasonable demands in public, Lu Shaoheng acted extraordinarily gentlemanly: "This is just a meeting ceremony, to show sincerity, you know, what you love and what I want becomes a business with money, it's so boring .”

These few words of Lu Shaoheng succeeded in gaining a good impression on Chen Zhuo.

"This is my first time making a movie." Even so, he decided to put his ugly words up front: "There is no guarantee that it will make you money."

Chen Zhuo was telling the truth. Before that, he had only made a few short films in school.Although his works have received good responses, no one else is interested in knowing about this matter except his fans.

"I know." Lu Shaoheng obviously hasn't seen any of Chen Zhuo's works, and said with a smile: "I don't care, money is the most useless thing, it's right to listen to it, as long as it can please you, it's worth it."

Chen Zhuo admitted that Lu Shaoheng was good-looking and very likable, and he didn't mind developing a relationship with a pleasing boy.But from the first moment he saw Lu Shaoheng, he knew that he was not the kind of person he liked.

This person is slippery, full of tricks, too difficult to control and prone to variables, not the type he wants to be in contact with.

But the money delivered to your door should not be in vain. He has indeed hit a lot of walls in order to find investment recently.

"I will consider your cooperation." Chen Yan put away the contract and handed it to the agent, asking him to go through the terms with the company's legal counsel: "As for the others, it depends on your ability."

The author says:

*Young Master Lu: You and I have no chance at all, it all depends on my being rich.

* There will be sporadic interspersed stories about the past of the two of them, not many. All the episodes in the full text add up to about a dozen chapters, mainly based on the current timeline.

*The chapters in the "XXXX" format are all past content, and the timeline is sequential, named after the movie Chen Yan was filming at that time.
