Two weeks later, the first official stills of "Jinyuqiwai" were released on the official website.
In the solo photo belonging to the protagonist Li Chuanqing, Bai Lang is wearing a tailor's overalls and is pulling a tape measure hanging around his neck.
Bai Lang's drooping eyelashes matched the faint smile on his face, but the contrast of shadows caused by the slightly stronger light hitting the side of his face was like the turbulent and uneven thoughts under the protagonist's calm expression. In addition, the loose shirt is tucked under the fitted trousers, and the slightly side angle makes Bai Lang's neck and waistline curvy.
Zhu Kuan, whose primary pursuit is the sense of picture, can already see the clues of his strong personal style ten years later in the handling of these contradictions. Along with it, under Zhu Kuan's lens, Bai Lang has more layers than his previous images.
As soon as the stills were released, it immediately sparked heated discussions among Bai Lang's fans. Most of the people expressed surprise, and some regretted that it lost Bai Lang's original affinity. Fortunately, the former is more than the latter. Bai Lang guessed that it might be the effect of the role swap in the UNI advertisement. Otherwise, after the "play" in the previous life, he would be hindered in changing roles.
However, Bai Lang had forgotten a little. After his rebirth, even with his 24-year-old body and his usual clothes and manners, Bai Lang completely lost the youthfulness he still had at his age. Even in the candid filming incident, Bai Lang showed a gentle and mature side.
Fang Hua may also be affected by this. When arranging film friend meetings or publicity for Bai Lang, the image follows Bai Lang's own temperament, all the way to the stable and elegant precocious route, which greatly balances Bai Lang. Began to give a strong impression in the "Ride" drama.
By March, the "Golden" drama was two-thirds filmed, and the progress was quite fast.
But Bai Lang has been paying close attention to the lack of funds for filming, but there is no clue for a long time.
On the contrary, Zhu Kuan, who is not very able to hide his thoughts, has been very excited recently.
Bai Lang looked a little alert, and while taking a break at noon, he couldn't help but ask.
"Director Zhu seems to be in a good mood recently, is there something good?"
One day, when Zhu Kuan and Que Qiming were surrounded by Bai Lang's sumptuous bento box, Bai Lang opened his mouth like a chat.
Zhu Kuan and Bai Lang were already familiar with each other by now, so he unceremoniously took the third piece of asparagus in a row and put it into his mouth to chew and chew. "It's really a good thing, haha, I was worried during the New Year's Day. I didn't expect someone to send a pillow when I was thinking about dozing off. It's really good luck that I can meet Lao Zhao with such things."
The old Zhao in Zhu Kuan's mouth; Zhao Jingxuan, is the textile factory Xiaokai who asked Zhu Kuan to return to China to film.
Bai Lang immediately stopped his chopsticks. When it comes to Lao Zhao, it must be related to film funding.
I didn't expect to ask the question casually, and I asked the idea. Could it be that the situation is about to happen
Que Qiming couldn't help but be curious when he heard the words, and smiled, "If Director Zhu can reveal it easily, let us have fun too."
Zhu Kuan's chubby face squinted his eyes into lines with a smile, and said quite proudly, "It doesn't matter now, things have been decided, I'm not afraid of changing your mind, and I'm not afraid of affecting your mood when filming."
"Affecting the mood?" Bai Lang's heart skipped a beat, and he hurriedly asked, "Don't tell me, what's wrong with the movie funding?"
Zhu Kuan really flashed a surprised expression, "You're amazing, you can guess it right. Could it be that you heard any rumors before?"
Que's name was also surprised, and his expression immediately became much more serious. "The funds really need to be in place. Director Zhu has to give us a detailed explanation."
With the old experience in the name of Que, I have long known that the most worrying thing about the films invested by the owners who are outside the industry is that the follow-up funds are not in place.
After all, if the owner is inexperienced and the team they are looking for cannot be well integrated, the funds will easily be used more than expected, and the missing hole will have to be filled. At this time, it is not easy to find new investors. Halfway through the shoot, it has already been finalized. It is usually difficult for investors to adjust their requirements and it is difficult to recruit funds. If the money cannot be borrowed to continue, the film is likely to face the fate of being cut in half.
The "Gold" drama is in a good condition under Zhu Kuan's preoccupation, but after all, Zhu Kuan is also the first time to return to China to make a film. The logistics team such as the related field affairs, equipment or art is the first time to cooperate, and it is much more invisible. The cost of many break-ins.
Seeing that the expressions of the two of them had changed, Zhu Kuan was a little annoyed, and patted his mouth. "Hey, when my wife always scolds me when I'm proud, she likes to talk nonsense. Sure enough, she's right." The two approached and lowered their voices, "Don't spread the word. Although it's fine, it's better to talk less about things that affect the military's morale."
Bai Lang immediately stated, "Of course not. But if there is anything I can help, Director Zhu please feel free to say."
Zhu Kuan didn't understand Bai Lang's real anxiety, and patted his chest to assure, "Don't worry, this is your first movie, and it's mine too. You and Mr. Que have also caught a lot of things that I want but can't say. It's like a god's help. No matter what, I will definitely make this film well..."
"So what is the situation that Director Zhu said?" Bai Lang quickly grabbed the end of the sentence.
"Hey, I have to talk about Lao Zhao's family. Several of the factories in Lao Zhao's family are managed by relatives in a certain house in their house. During the Chinese New Year, the whole family did not go back to their hometown for Chinese New Year. The company looked for it, but found that people had swallowed all the money and wages that could be rolled up in the factory. This roll of four or five million, and the advance payment, Lao Zhao was so worried, and the elders in the family still suppressed the police. But when this happened, the funds of other factories had to be diverted, and there was a problem with the capital turnover. Directly, the old man's opinion was to cut the capital injection from our side first."
"What's the result?" Bai Lang asked while quickly calculating how much he could help.
To say that the set of books was put on the shelves in November last year, it has been more than four months now. And when Bai Lang went online to confirm foreign forums recently, the sales of the first season coincided with the Christmas holiday, which broke out a very dazzling result.
If the copyright is sold at this time, although the total sales volume of the accumulated sets in the next few years can reach tens of millions, it will definitely be a lot less, but the complete copyright purchased for 2.3 million should also be able to sell for 30 million. About four million.
Unexpectedly, I heard Zhu Kuan Kuan replied in a good mood, "When I was in a hurry, someone from Lao Zhao took the initiative to ask if this movie would be a joint venture. It was such a coincidence that we were all taken aback. Even, the other party has no special requirements for character scripts or anything, only that after seeing the photos and themes of our startup, and then looking at the previously announced stills, they are very interested."
Bai Lang looked surprised, and he really did. This is different from the development of the previous life, is it just a prelude to the chain effect? "The joint venture has been confirmed? Will there be a change?"
"Haha, brother, you are really more nervous than I am," Zhu Kuan patted Bai Lang's shoulder hard, "No problem, the contract has been signed, and the other party has paid most of the money. This hole is considered to be filled. Even the budget proposed by the other party is more than what Lao Zhao originally prepared. In the future, we don't have to worry about the publicity expenses, hahaha." As expected, it is a complacent personality. .
"So good?" Bai Lang frowned.
On the side, Que's name is not as suspicious as Bai Lang's. After all, it is quite common to make a movie and seek capital injection. It's just that it's more difficult to find the owner halfway through. So Que Qiming eased his expression and asked with a smile, "So, we have a new owner, is it convenient to reveal who it is?"
"Speaking of this may surprise you," Zhu Kuan waved his chopsticks emphatically. "Our new owner is the famous Hong family in the capital."
Hearing this, Bai Lang was really startled.
◇◇◇
After finishing the show that day, when he returned to the apartment, Bai Lang only felt his head dizzy.
Apart from Zhu Kuan's still tight filming schedule, the news he heard at noon still impacted Bai Lang.
Because Bai Lang didn't believe in the Hong family; it could also be said that Hong Yu's intervention at this time would be a pure coincidence.
Thinking about it, after Qiu Qian talked about the tense relationship between Hong Yu and Qu Quan, with Hong Yu's power, he must be quite aware of Qu Quan's possible movements. That is to say, Hong Yu should have known that if Qu Quan wanted to leave, he might have to use Qiu Qian's help. That's why, in the conversation of the Rong family's birthday banquet, Hong Yu was somewhat targeting Qu Quan and Qiu Qian. He seemed a little sensitive to the relationship between the two of them in retrospect.
At this time, Hong Yu intervened in the "Gold" drama, what could the picture be
On the day of the Rong family's birthday banquet, Qiu Qian's statement to the outside world should be enough for people to know the relationship between him and Qiu Qian; whether it is a real talk or only a transaction. He had been stamped with Qiu Qian's stamp. At this time, if Hong Yu had attacked the "Jin" drama, the biggest possibility Bai Lang could think of was that Hong Yu wanted to warn Qiu Qian by suppressing himself? Or, in exchange for Qiu Qian
No matter which one, he seems to be involved in Hong Yu, Qu Quan and Qiu Qian.
Thinking of this, Bai Lang couldn't help but smile. He also smiled bitterly that his expectations for rebirth were too optimistic.
After all, even if he was reborn, many things still didn't go in the direction he wanted. It's like, he has tried his best to get close to Zhu Kuan, but he still can't help Zhao Jingxuan. Even if the situation is as I guessed above, the follow-up of the "Golden" drama, even if it can be finished, I am afraid that it will encounter difficulties that it cannot be released, and it will be difficult to give birth just like the previous life...
Bai Lang felt a deep sense of powerlessness for this feeling of being busy in vain.
So when he got home, Bai Lang didn't want to move, so he buried himself in the sofa in a daze.
Until the sound of the key opening the door came from the door, Bai Lang turned his head and saw that it was Xiao Li who had picked up Qiu Xiaohai to go home from school.
After opening the door, Xiao Li nodded slightly to Bai Lang, then let Qiu Xiaohai enter, and left without entering. When Bai Lang was with Qiu Qianqian, Xiao Li rarely stayed longer.
As soon as Qiu Xiaohai entered the door, he saw that Bai Lang had come home early, his eyes lit up, he kicked his shoes, and without taking off his schoolbag, he threw himself on Bai Lang's legs.
"Abai~ you're here," Qiu Xiaohai hugged Bai Lang's waist and smiled.
"Yes." That smile made Bai Lang smile as well.
Bai Lang then helped Qiu Xiaohai take off his schoolbag, carried the man to his stomach and sat straddled.
The child's slightly higher body temperature was like a stove, steaming away a lot of the depression in Bai Lang's heart.
Qiu Xiaohai happily rubbed against Bai Lang's chest like a big white rabbit hugging him.
"Abai, Bai, the teacher asked a question in class today."
"what is the problem?"
"The teacher asked, who do you like the most in the family, I told the teacher that it was Dad and Bai!"
Bai Lang smiled knowingly, "Thank you."
"Then the teacher asked me, who is Bai."
"What do you say?" Bai Lang smiled, matching Qiu Xiaohai's tone.
"I told the teacher that A Bai is A Bai," Qiu Xiaohai recounted with wide eyes, "A Bai is no longer Jiang Xincheng, but our family!"
"Oh," Bai Lang raised his eyebrows, "what about the teacher after listening to it?"
"The teacher said he didn't understand, and asked what you were doing at home."
"What do I do at home?" Bai Lang blinked.
"Cooking rice, and bunny buns, hugging, kissing, doing homework, and sleeping with dad!"
Qiu Xiaohai answered confidently.
Bai Lang's smile stopped on his face, "Didn't we agree, this is a little secret?"
"That's right," Qiu Xiaohai nodded enthusiastically, "I didn't say I was naked."
Bai Lang was helpless, "...Thank you."
Qiu Xiaohai didn't wait for Bai Lang to finish, and twisted more excitedly, "Then Chen Zhenzhen said it, she said that mothers are like this!"
Before Bai Lang could ask who Chen Zhenzhen was, he heard Qiu Xiaohai ask shyly, "A Bai~ you will be my mother, right?"
