The peach blossom season in Jiangnan has come to an end. In the western suburbs of Suzhou, the Jinshu Film and Television City area is still crowded with people.
Once again, a battery car stopped near the 'Sansheng Stone', which was once again circled by a certain production crew and temporarily prohibited from approaching. Several girls who were shouting in front and behind surrounded a girl walking towards the crew. Someone from the other side immediately came to greet her.
As the screenwriter of "Homecoming", Mo Wuling also had the responsibility of a producer. When he saw Chen Qing wearing sunglasses and hugging her, he couldn't help teasing her after walking in: "Sister Chen, are you worried about others?" Don’t you recognize that you are rich and powerful, and you go out of your way to give directions to the kidnappers?”
Chen Qing saw the cobblestone road in front of her that was flat but still slightly undulating. Like an old Buddha, she reached to the side and took the arm of Liu Qinqi, her bodyguard, while saying, "What do you know? I am a noble person now."
Jin Gui, because she is pregnant.
When her boss came over during the New Year period, she succeeded, and she managed to get pregnant with great difficulty. In addition, during the prenatal check-up, the doctor said that the fetus was a little unstable, so special attention should be paid to it in the first three months. During this period, Chen Qing wished she could just stay in bed and wait until the baby was born. Guys are born and get up again.
However, whether it is due to my own temperament or a bunch of things around me, this is unlikely.
Even so, Chen Qing has been very careful recently, even a little superstitious. She remembers hearing a saying somewhere that if she was pregnant, she would keep the baby as quiet as possible, so the baby would be more stable, so she didn't inform her boss until recently. This is great news.
Now I can push my work as much as I can.
Chen Qing came to Jinshu Film and Television City today not for work, but simply to relax and enjoy the scenery. I heard that the crew of "Homecoming" happened to be nearby, so I came over to take a look.
Mo Wuling felt that Chen Qing was a little abnormal, but he didn't think of anything. He just thought she was joking and laughed along. Everyone came to the shooting venue and sat down at the round table in the rest area, watching Jiangshan Dancer. The thermos cup was delivered to Chen Qing. After she took a few sips, she deliberately asked in a teasing tone with a smile: "Lafayette, you suddenly came here, do you have any intention?"
"It's okay, I just came here to relax." Chen Qing didn't mind Mo Wuling's teasing. She felt a little breeze around her, so she beckoned for a small blanket from Jiang Yuanchi to cover her legs, and said, "I heard that these days It’s overcrowded, my own garden, but it’s such a pity to come and see.”
Mo Wuling glanced at Chen Qing's little movements and listened to her words, and suddenly felt that it was really weird: "Today is Wednesday, Sister Chen, you are so busy, you actually have time to relax?"
Chen Qing rolled her eyes.
Do I have to work hard and never have a minute to spare
Mo Wuling was even more curious, and he was a little confused. He leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Sister Chen, is it the recent one where the country's rectification of the refining and chemical industry has given you a headache? I was at my sister's house on the weekend. While eating, I heard her say that the two refining and chemical projects of the Westeros system in Jiangsu and Zhejiang may have to be re-examined?"
Chen Qing didn't even bother to roll her eyes.
Where is this going
Speaking of which, my boss’s judgment last year was indeed correct. Last month, CNOOC’s overseas listing was stranded. In less than half a month, over in the capital, on April 9, senior officials issued the “About Us” to various ministries and commissions. Notice on Cleaning Up Small Refineries and Standardizing the Circulation Order of Crude Oil and Refined Products.
What's that description
Well, no more.
Moreover, in fact, it is somewhat far-fetched to put the two things together as cause and effect.
Rectifying a huge industry related to the national economy and people's livelihood cannot be accomplished overnight. In fact, since the end of last year, the authorities have already launched relevant research and investigation, and it was not until recently that the official decision was made. However, it is undeniable that due to the failure of CNOOC's IPO, the original seven-point rectification will be increased to at least nine points.
After all, China's major energy giants all have overseas listing plans.
The failure of CNOOC's IPO was due to bad luck and force majeure events such as the outbreak of war, plummeting oil prices, and stock market shocks. At the same time, overseas investors were not optimistic about China's petrochemical industry itself, which was also an important reason. The reason why they were not optimistic was It is precisely the current over-opening of relevant domestic fields to the private sector.
Yes, Western capital keeps shouting about freedom, openness, market economy and fair competition, but these are just slogans after all. After all, everyone knows that monopoly can bring huge profits. China, on the other hand, clearly has the ability to monopolize, but in recent years it has engaged in fair competition in a free and open market economy. As a result, all kinds of refining and chemical companies, large and small, overt and covert, have sprouted up everywhere, including crude oil extraction, which has seriously affected all major industries. The profit levels of giants.
If you don’t handle this, how can we have the motivation to invest
The result is that, for a long time after this time, China's private capital was subject to very strict restrictions on its involvement in energy-related industries. Not to mention mining and refining, in many places even gas stations were no longer allowed to be privately operated.
However, this matter will not have much impact on the two super refining and chemical projects planned by the Westeros system in China. After all, it is a foreign investment project equivalent to tens of billions of yuan. If you don’t pass it, that’s it. If you pass it, then If it becomes pornographic, the impact will be very bad.
Of course, she would not explain this to Mo Wuling. Chen Qing turned to the filming crew: "How does it feel to be a producer?"
When Mo Wuling saw Chen Qing asking about it, he didn't dwell on the previous question and said instead: "Not bad, a little tired, but also very fulfilling." Then he looked at the field and added: "I learned a lot."
"Um?"
"The first one is..." Mo Wuling raised his hand slightly and gestured: "TV dramas and simple scripts, well, are two different things. These days, my deepest feeling is that it is not that easy to transform a script into an image. "
Chen Qing was actually not very interested in these things. She just asked casually. Seeing that Mo Wuling was very interested, she continued: "It's a little late for you to realize it now. I remember that in the past, when we occasionally chatted, the boss said to me To live a similar story, in short, it is indeed not easy, but after successfully converting the script into an image, the sense of accomplishment is unprecedented."
When Mo Wuling heard Chen Qing mention someone, he felt a little more high-spirited than he knew he was. He nodded repeatedly and said, "I... we can't compare with Simon, but, well, I just discovered that Jing Xi It’s awesome now.”
"what?"
"Let's just talk about this project," Mo Wuling gestured around: "There have been so many tourists recently. Jinshu Film and Television City has waived the rental fee this year. There are also a lot of crews. It is too difficult to make reservations and clear the venue. Everyone is worried. At that time, Jing Xi came over to take a look and said, there is no need to clear the place, at least it does not need to be a big place, as long as you communicate well with the people around you during the shooting, and then take them in together."
Chen Qing also glanced around and said with a smile: "It's not easy. Even if you are a group performer, you often can't change your habit of looking at the camera. These ordinary people will probably ruin a lot of shots."
Mo Wuling didn't expect Chen Qing to hit the nail on the head, so he nodded and said, "There is indeed a problem, but we are using a digital camera. Although some lenses will be discarded, it just happens to be used to hone acting skills. In short, this is much easier than spending a lot of time and energy to reserve a time and venue and rushing to shoot. Oh, actually, for our project, the venue rental fee was originally the biggest expense. After Jinshu waived it, In addition to the advertising sponsorship we received, it is almost zero budget, and it is very loose, allowing us to seriously polish the plot. In the future, if the series is sold, we will start making money directly."
Chen Qing hummed twice to express her praise.
After consecutive hits in the ratings of "Huan Zhu Princess" and "Legend of Sword and Fairy", Huan Zhu Film and Television Company run by Ren Jingxi is now a star in the industry. Now, whether it is a movie, TV series or variety show, as long as there is a project, it is a success. Lots of invitations to collaborate. And a girl who has only been in this industry for two or three years has figured everything out very clearly, and her backing is strong enough that it is difficult for her not to prosper.
Fortunately, he is no longer a threat to himself.
Mo Wuling became interested and said to himself: "Also, Jing Xi also came up with an idea, asking us to contact the crew here, and there are many Easter eggs buried in our drama. Easter eggs, Sister Chen, you Do you know?"
Chen Qing nodded seriously: "I know, the kind that will give birth to Easter bunnies."
Mo Wuling immediately realized that he was asking too many questions and said with a smile: "Anyway, the audience will be able to find many interesting details in our drama in the future, such as those related to "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and "Returning the Pearl" " or "Sword of Fairy", there are many other film and television dramas. By the way, there are also guest appearances by famous filmmakers, just like in "Mansion Gate", but ours is a real person guest appearance, which is more interesting."
Even if it's not a threat, are you trying to make me angry by praising me like this
I'm pregnant!
Chen Qing thought about it and said sarcastically: "Don't you hope to make a TV series with a very literary and artistic flavor? If it is so fancy, you are not afraid of affecting the quality?"
Women's intuition is always keen. Mo Wuling didn't know why Chen Qing suddenly lost his temper, but he still said: "No, we have discussed it carefully. These interludes, well, can probably bring a kind of play-within-a-play to the audience." The feeling of overlapping reality and fantasy, as well as the changing interweaving of modernity and classics, I have seen the sample, and the more I watch it, the more I like it.”
Chen Qing curled her lips slightly: "You are an artistic young woman. What you like may not be liked by the audience."
Mo Wuling still didn't understand, but he just smiled and didn't argue with Chen Qing.
Anyway, she is really satisfied with this project.
Just... I wonder if he will look at it again after it is completed.
She was very attentive.
As the two chatted, a set of shots ended in the venue. The director, the hero and heroine, and other creatives came over to greet them. In this circle, even if you have never met her, you can still hear about Miss Chen as long as you have some connections.
The director and the male protagonist surnamed Li, who had staged several mainland Jin Yong dramas in the original timeline, only exchanged a few greetings and were dismissed, while the female protagonist stayed.
It's Shen Gui.
In the process of creating the script, the heroine was directly set to be a Chinese model who is very famous in the international fashion circle. Mo Wuling probably wrote it based on his niece. At the same time, as Zhu Momo’s assistant, he is also considered to be very familiar with this circle. It was familiar and the material was sufficient, but when it came to casting, Zhu Momo was not suitable.
It's really too high.
Even though this is a story with some "princess and groom" routine, the princess cannot be much taller than the groom after all, and it is unrealistic to find a male protagonist who is taller than Zhu Momo or who is just as good as him.
So I turned to something else.
The best choices are the models who are still active after being selected by someone, Jian Xin, Tao Yuelei, Shen Gui and Jiang Mi.
Jian Xin and Tao Yuelei were originally the better choices, but unfortunately they were not interested in it, and they were too busy, traveling all over the world. In addition, after all, they couldn't give too much here. There were 26 episodes planned, so Ren Jingxi decided The salary was offered to 20,000 yuan per episode, which is already a very high salary in the current industry. Jian Xin still chose to refuse. After all, after all, it was only the income from a few shows abroad, but they had to work on several projects. The moon cannot be drawn.
Then, Jiang Mi, like Zhu Momo, this girl was 187 centimeters tall and was also eliminated.
Finally, there is Shen Gui.
The height of 181 cm is acceptable.
Short hair makes you look very independent, and your beautiful oval face and almond eyes reveal a bit of charm that can arouse the opposite sex.
All in all very suitable.
However, Ren Jingxi didn't have high expectations and planned to choose an actress from Hong Kong and Taiwan who was cost-effective and would definitely be more classy in the eyes of mainland audiences. Unexpectedly, Shen Gui agreed to the invitation. But the salary of 20,000 yuan per episode is still not less.
Shen Gui is not doing it for money, but this girl also has her own considerations.
Overseas, she is definitely not as good as Zhu Momo, who was the first to follow a certain man. The spread of overseas fame to the domestic fashion circle is also overwhelming. Therefore, there is actually no comparison. If you want to break through, you need to find another way out.
Participating in a TV series is a good choice.
Next, maybe we can expand into the film industry, maybe we can overtake others in a corner.
Chen Qing chatted with Gui Shen for a few words, and was very satisfied with the girl's respectful attitude in front of him, so she asked a few more questions, such as why she chose to take on this TV series.
Shen Gui didn't dare to hide it, so she explained some considerations. In the end, she couldn't hold it back and took the initiative to confess that this was the advice given by her assistant.
Shen Gui's assistant is called Shen Lin. She was an international student at the University of Oklahoma with a PhD in political economics. She was originally a waitress shared by Shen Gui, Jiang Mi and Qin Buzui. Because they have the same surname, they also have a doctorate in political economics. When Qin Buzui went to school, Jiang Mi was too cold-tempered, so Shen Lin stayed with Shen Gui most of the time, dutifully helping her with suggestions while waiting for his own opportunity.
The sinking neighbor was standing nearby.
Hearing Gui Shen mention herself, Lin Shen almost wanted to shed tears.
real.
Been waiting for almost two years.
I was almost resigned to my fate. I planned to finish my five-year agreement peacefully and use the benefits of Weijia Maid to do other things. After all, I got my American green card, accumulated a good savings, and even returned the money. With the vase fund from the maid of the Wei family, and the contacts he has quietly accumulated, in short, this life can be considered wonderful.
But, no matter what, people always hope to go higher.
Chen Qing followed Shen Gui's direction and looked over. She noticed the mature and intellectual beautiful woman wearing a black women's suit next to her. She tilted her head slightly and looked at it a few more times. With a smile on her lips, she said directly: "Shen Lin, right? Come to me. "Okay," he said, turning to Shen Gui who couldn't hide her surprise: "I'll give you another assistant."
Shen Gui didn't know why and felt that she must have said too many things that she shouldn't have just said, but she could only agree.
