When Lu Chen was negotiating with Gande Films, he put forward requirements for the director and the leading actor and actress.
According to the rules in the film and television industry, what he wants to cut away is the biggest cake in a series.
Therefore, in the previous discussion with Powerlong Films, Zhu Minghe thought that Lu Chen's appetite was too big, and he was a little ignorant of the heights of heaven and earth, so he rejected "Blue Life and Death" without hesitation. It really can't be regarded as a big fault.
Zhu Minghe just lost a little patience. He didn't expect Chen Fei'er to be the heroine.
The situation of Gande Films is different. Its business manager Lu Yi took the initiative to find Lu Chen, and after knowing the specific situation, and his own strength is not strong enough, he is naturally at a disadvantage.
So even though Lu Chen didn't make a request, Gande Films still fully respected Lu Chen's opinion on the selection of several important supporting roles.
In the play, Cui Xin'ai is the first female supporting role. She plays a very heavy role and has many scenes with the male protagonist. Therefore, when selecting candidates, Cande Films specially gave Lu Chen the VCRs of the seven actors who were initially selected.
Lu Chen selected Zhang Liwei from the seven.
Of course he didn't know Zhang Liwei, but he felt that the appearance and temperament of the other party met the requirements, and the interview was satisfactory.
After Zhang Liwei officially signed the contract, she found out about the situation through the company, and she was naturally extremely grateful to Lu Chen.
The film and television industry is a very complicated place. Here, it does not mean that if you have talent and strength, you will definitely be able to stand out. There are countless talents who have been buried, and there are countless rules in the open and in the dark.
For a TV series, even if it's an unknown new one, it's not easy to choose an actor. It's really rare for her to be selected as the first female supporting role purely on her own merits.
Zhang Liwei is not well-known, she has no real works, and she has not "dedicated herself to art".
And after the filming officially started, the cooperation between her and Lu Chen was very pleasant. Lu Chen didn't have the slightest airs, and always explained the characters to her patiently and meticulously, and helped her integrate into the crew smoothly.
What surprised Zhang Liwei was that Lu Chen was very young and had filmed commercials and MVs before, but his acting skills and theoretical knowledge were very solid, and he looked like an old drama.
She came from a major and has filmed a lot of TV dramas, but she was even worse!
Most importantly, Lu Chen has no "ambition" for her.
Zhang Liwei has been in the industry for several years, and she deeply understands the importance of opportunities. If Lu Chen, who has a high status in the crew, thinks about her, she doesn't mind sacrificing it.
At least Lu Chen is handsome, isn't he
But Lu Chen didn't mean that at all, he was always polite.
"Teacher Lu" is her sincere respect.
Even if Lu Chen is a few years younger than her.
But Lu Chen was helpless, and said, "Sister Liwei, you call me Teacher Lu and Sister Fei, are you trying to scare me?"
He has corrected the other party several times, but it has not changed.
Both Zhang Liwei and Chen Feier laughed.
Zhang Liwei smiled and said, "Okay, I will call you Dachen from now on."
The crew of "Blue Life and Death" has the best atmosphere Zhang Liwei has ever stayed in. There is no such intrigue here. Chen Fei'er has the highest status, but she has never played big names, even for the most ordinary staff. Be courteous.
Lu Chen is the screenwriter, actor and investor, and his position in the crew is also very important. He is friendly and talented, and he cooperates very well with Chen Fei'er, and the two are even called siblings.
Lu Chen and Chen Feier are also very supportive of the director Fang Hui. The company that manages the film crew is not strong, so there is no internal faction in the film crew. The other actors cherish the opportunity and everyone works together, so the filming work is very smooth. , it is very hopeful that all 20 episodes will be filmed ahead of schedule.
Now the ratings of "Blue Life and Death" are rising steadily, and it has become a dark horse in the TV drama market at the end of the year. Everyone follows suit, and the atmosphere of the crew is even better.
Zhang Liwei knew that even if she made some harmless jokes with Lu Chen, the latter would never mind.
She even fell in love with the big boy in front of her a little bit.
Lu Chen didn't think too much about it, he called the other actors and started today's filming task.
From morning to evening, until it got dark, director Fang Hui announced the ending.
In the temporary lounge, Chen Fei'er was so tired that she lost the strength to speak.
She had the most scenes today, and she had to shoot several scenes many times, and finally passed.
Fang Hui became more and more aware of the shooting, and the requirements for actors were also getting higher and higher. She always asked for the best before she was willing to pass the shots that were completely qualified in the eyes of others.
Chen Fei'er was under a lot of pressure.
With no one around, she leaned on Lu Chen's shoulder and said, "After filming this movie, I will take a good rest for a few days."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "It's almost the Chinese New Year after the filming, so it's just the New Year's holiday!"
Chen Fei'er adjusted her posture, leaned directly into his arms, and said with half-closed eyes: "When I was young, I was looking forward to the Chinese New Year the most. New clothes to wear and a lot of delicious food to eat..."
"But now I don't feel much about New Year's Eve. I spend New Year's Eve on TV."
As the queen of music, Chen Fei'er really doesn't want too many invitations during the Chinese New Year, some invitations cannot be turned down.
For example, in CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, there is a solo program by Chen Fei'er this year, which no one else can ask for.
However, she will not participate in the Spring Festival Gala in February next year.
Lu Chen held her hand and asked, "Why don't you come to my house this year for the New Year?"
"what?"
Chen Fei'er's tender body tensed suddenly, and a faint blush appeared on her pretty face: "To your house?"
Of course she knew what Lu Chen's invitation meant.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Yes, my mother and younger sister must welcome you very much."
Chen Fei'er relaxed again, blushing and said: "It's too soon, I'm not ready yet."
According to the traditional concept, when she went to Lu Chen's house to meet Lu Chen's mother during the Chinese New Year, she basically met her mother-in-law.
Lu Chen was somewhat disappointed, but understandable.
Feeling guilty, Chen Feier stretched out her arms to wrap around Lu Chen's neck, and kissed him passionately.
jingle bell~
As a result, the lips of the two were just touching each other when Lu Chen's cell phone rang suddenly.
Lu Chen wanted to ignore it, but the bell kept ringing, so he had no choice but to reluctantly let go of the beautiful woman in his arms.
What Lu Chen didn't expect was that it was Qin Hanyang who opened the phone for him.
"Brother Qin?"
Qin Hanyang's familiar voice came from the phone: "Lu Chen, are you busy?"
Lu Chen made a gesture to Chen Fei'er, and said with a smile, "I just finished filming and I'm free, brother Qin, are you free?"
Qin Hanyang said: "I'm in Jinling, long time no see, let's have dinner together tonight!"
Lu Chen was pleasantly surprised: "Brother Qin, you have also come to Jinling? Where are you now? I'll send someone to pick you up."
Qin Hanyang smiled and said: "Don't bother, I have reserved a table at Qinhuai Restaurant together with President Dong and Manager Su, why don't you come over directly? We'll wait for you!"
"no problem!"
Lu Chen readily agreed, "I'll be there in an hour."
After chatting with Qin Hanyang for a few more words, he ended the call and said to Chen Fei'er: "I can't accompany you for dinner tonight, Qin Hanyang is here, and there are people from Light Rain Media."
If only Qin Hanyang and Lu Chen could take Chen Fei'er along, it would be inconvenient for the people from Light Rain Media to be there.
Chen Fei'er understood: "Well, remember not to drink too much, come back early to rest."
It's like a gentle wife entrusting a husband who goes out to socialize.
There was a hint of warmth in Lu Chen's heart, and he couldn't help lowering his head to ask for a kiss, but Chen Fei'er smiled coquettishly and blocked it away.
"Sweaty smell all over your body, go take a shower and change clothes, or it will be too late."
Lu Chen grabbed her hand, kissed her forcefully, then got up and left with a laugh.
He called Li Feiyu and went back to the hotel first.
After hurriedly taking a hot shower and changing into a set of clean clothes, the two took a taxi to Qinhuai Restaurant.
Qinhuai Restaurant is beside the Qinhuai River. When Lu Chen and Li Feiyu arrived, it was almost 8 o'clock in the evening.
Find the box that Qin Hanyang said, and there are six people in it.
Besides Qin Hanyang, Dong Yu and Su Qingmei, there were two other men and one woman, but Lu Chen didn't know each other.
"Brother Qin, President Dong, Manager Su..."
After entering the door, he apologized embarrassingly: "I'm really sorry for being late and keeping everyone waiting for so long!"
There were six plates of cold dishes and drinks on the table, all untouched, obviously waiting for his arrival.
Including Dong Yu, everyone in the private room stood up. Dong Yu said with a smile, "We are sorry, we came here temporarily and took the liberty to disturb you."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "President Dong is too polite."
The general manager of Light Rain Media is exquisite and beautiful, with a mature and charming temperament, and is a first-class beauty.
Lu Chen has dealt with her before, but it's been a long time since I saw her.
Su Qingmei, who was standing next to Dong Yu, still had the charming appearance in memory, a perfect figure in a Chanel suit, her eyes were full of smiles, and she said, "Mr. Lu, since you are late, you will have to drink three glasses of wine as a fine." !"
Hearing her call himself "Teacher Lu", Lu Chen felt goosebumps all over his skin, making his flesh tingle.
Lu Chen twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "It should be..."
He quickly turned to Qin Hanyang, stepped forward and opened his arms to give him a firm hug.
"Brother Qin, long time no see!"
The current Lu Chen doesn't need to give Su Qingmei or even Dong Yu face, but Qin Hanyang is not included.
Qin Hanyang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and patted Lu Chen's back hard: "Long time no see!"
Everyone is very busy, and there are really few opportunities to meet each other.
But the friendship between the two has not changed.
Lu Chen let go of his hand and asked, "The Wandering Band didn't come? Where's Sister Na?"
Qin Hanyang explained: "They are in another place. Today they have an event in Jinling. Sister Na is pregnant."
"what!"
Lu Chen was dumbfounded: "Sister Na is pregnant?"
Qin Hanyang nodded: "Yes, I just found out that she is staying at home now to raise a baby."
This is really unexpected news!
