Night.

The stationmaster, who had just returned to his residence after eating, made himself a cup of steaming black tea with great interest, and then took a sip with satisfaction, looking intoxicated.

He's in a good mood right now.

He was also aware of the attention of the outside world about him, and he had already noticed it.

To be honest, he was surprised.

When he decided to take over the filming of this drama, he didn't expect it to have such an impact.

He didn't expect that the supporting roles he had played in the system for half his life were unpopular, and in the end he became popular in a drama outside the system.

This drama was so hot that he was defenseless.

Even now that the whole show has been broadcast, he still can't believe it.

Where had he ever experienced such a battle?

Interview invitations from various media, cooperation from major advertisers, olive branches thrown by major film and television companies, and even many commercial companies kept inviting him to attend events......

He was a little scared.

The sudden high attention made him very uncomfortable, and he even felt helpless.

In the end, he turned down all invitations.

One is that "Latent" has always had his role and he can't get away, and the other reason is that he is not psychologically prepared in this regard.

Digging corners?

This does not exist.

The director also talked to him about this topic two days ago.

To be honest, he was very excited to sign in with the young director's company.

He can be said to have watched this drama all the time, and he can be regarded as knowing a lot of inside stories that the outside world does not know.

The audience is talking about how superb their acting skills are, and that the characters in the play are simply tailor-made for them. In fact, only they know that most of their performances are guided by the young director.

As big as an expression and a movement, as small as a look or even a small detail on his hands, all of them were completed under his guidance.

After a TV series, he also admired this young director very much.

He even felt that his acting skills had been sublimated.

In this drama, he benefited a lot.

Therefore, if there is a real chance, he is really willing to cooperate with this young director in a few more works.

But alas, he can't.

He's a guy in the system, he's under a contract.

Maybe not many people know that he is still a national first-class actor.

Job-hopping or anything didn't exist for him.

When Chen Qi talked to him about this topic two days ago, he also told him all about it.

......

The other side.

Li Ya and Lu Qiaoshan also returned to the hotel.

They are also in a very emotional mood right now.

It's on fire!

They're going to be on fire!

During this time, it was not only the webmaster who received various invitation calls.

They also received it.

Telephone calls from major media, television stations, and some film and television companies, etc.

To exaggerate, during this time, they received soft hands when answering the phone.

But like the stationmaster, all of them declined the invitation.

It's not because I'm not impressed, but because I don't have time.

During this time, they have been staying in the crew, even Lu Qiaoshan, who has long been offline, has stayed in the crew.

They don't want to do anything else, they just want to listen to the director's guidance.

It doesn't matter if you're just a bystander.

It's not that they exaggerate, the director's guidance really makes them feel amazing.

They have gained a lot, and the harvest from filming a scene is even greater than their previous high-quality acting class!

What's more, when Luqiaoshan went offline, the director also asked them if they were interested in developing on his side.

They almost froze when they heard the invitation.

Interested?

Of course I'm interested!

Where can I find such a good director?

Not to mention anything else, just the directing and screenwriting skills he performed in this drama are enough to make them excited!

At the time, they couldn't believe it.

Then, they took a straight stand.

Interested!

So interested!

The two of them are different from national actors in the system like the stationmaster, and in all seriousness, they don't even have a formal job.

They are bricks that need to be moved wherever they need to be. The contracts signed are also temporary acting contracts.

If they really want to join Chen Qi's studio, they can say that they have no scruples.

However, after hearing their promise, Chen Qi shook his head.

He told them not to rush to agree, but to think about it first.

He even bluntly said that many film and television companies would contact them in a few days, and also said that the treatment offered by these film and television companies may be better than that of his side.

And that's exactly what happened.

There are indeed a lot of big film and television companies that contact them these days, and the treatment they offer is really attractive.

Not only do they offer high prices, but they also have other conditions such as how many works are guaranteed in a year, and what movies have the opportunity to be made.

These conditions make them a little unbearable for those who have never seen any big scenes.

Just now, they received a call from a large domestic film and television company.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you for your appreciation, but I don't have the intention for the time being, I'm sorry. ”

But in the end, they resisted the temptation.

Chen Qi is their first choice.

If Chen Qi doesn't sign them, otherwise...... He's the boss, they decided it!

In fact, the two of them have thought carefully in the past two days, and they always feel that the director is testing them.

As for what they were to be tested, they couldn't say why.

......

Also receiving the call was Lu Li.

Strictly speaking, he should be the one in the group who gets the most calls.

Thanks to the bad movies in front of him, he had terminated his contract with his original agency a year ago.

Break up peacefully.

There is no gossip and no blood, and it is impossible to say who is responsible for whom.

Anyway, he has taken on so many bad movies over the years, and the agency is responsible, and he himself is also responsible. But there's no denying that they've all made money.

And then it's not worth the fuss about not renewing the contract after it expires.

The only thing worth mentioning is that after he terminated the contract, no film and television company took the initiative to contact him.

There's no way, he's been so bad about the bad money over the years.

At that time, those film and television companies probably thought that he would disappear from the entertainment industry.

If it weren't for his frankness in the "Dialogue" program that attracted Chen Qi's attention, it would be really hard to say whether the final result would be like this.

It is precisely because of this preconceived notion that when Lu Li became popular again, those film and television companies were stupid.

Then, Lu Li's phone was blown up!

All kinds of conditions that are more favorable than before make him a little excited.

Of course, he didn't accept any of the invitations from these film and television companies.

The reason for his refusal was not that Chen Qi told him anything.

Speaking of Chen Qi, he was angry again.

Chen Qi was there with the stationmaster and Lu Qiaoshan and Li Ya when they talked about the follow-up development.

He watched the whole time.

Originally, he thought that Chen Qi would also come to talk to him, after all, he had long known that he was now a free body.

During that time, he even seriously considered whether to join Chen Qi's studio or something.

He really admires Chen Qi.

Although Chen Qi has been digging holes for him, it does not affect his admiration for him at all.

Actually, he wasn't very busy.

It's true that he is the leading actor, but there are a lot of times when there is no drama.

It's the director and the crew who are really busy, and they're the ones who turn the hell.

And his favorite thing to do when he's not busy is to observe Chen Qi. Observe his words and deeds, observe his style of acting.

The more I observe, the more I admire.

He has also collaborated with many directors over the years, but no director has as terrifying control as him.

He knew exactly what kind of shot he wanted.

He had also seen his storyboard manuscript more than once, and it was a little scary in detail.

Which scenes to shoot and which shots to shoot, and which shots belong to which episode are clearly identified by him.

In some of these manuscripts, he even marked the shots in which the same outfit would appear.

This kind of preparation is simply so detailed that it is terrifying!

This is also an important reason why they can still catch up with the broadcast schedule in such a tight time.

Without these detailed preparations, this drama may not be filmed even if it is filmed for another month.

It is precisely for this reason that he carefully considered the possibility of long-term cooperation with him.

With his terrifying control, if he really follows him to make two more dramas, he is estimated to be able to reach the peak of his life in minutes!

But what made him very confused was that Chen Qi never came to him.

In the middle, he even took the initiative to hint at it, but Chen Qi didn't answer his words.

Then, his whole person was a little bit not so good.

This is not scientific!

I'm such a good actor, why don't you come to dig into my corner?

Are you afraid that I'm too expensive to dig or am I not hinting at it enough?

In the end, he couldn't hold his breath and took the initiative to talk to Chen Qi.

As a result, Chen Qi stopped him in one sentence.

"I'm going to ask you, do you sign it?"

Then, Lu Li was silent.

He was silent for a long time.

yes, if he really wants to ask, will he sign it?

Although he had thought about this issue carefully beforehand, he had not made a decision whether to sign or not.

"You're not going to sign it. ”

Chen Qi saw through him at a glance.

He won't sign it.

If it was a year ago, it might have been possible, but he has already enjoyed a year of freedom, and he will not accept this kind of restraint again.

After all...... After so many years of rotten money, he is no longer short of money.

Besides, now that he has finally taken off the label of bad movies that he has attached to his body for so many years, he will definitely not easily trust those brokerage companies anymore.

With his current identity and status, he has passed the stage of others picking him.

Now, it's him who picks the works!

Chen Qi's insight simply made Lu Li feel terrible!

He did have the idea of opening his own studio. But...... He's never talked about it to anyone else!

How did he see it?

Therefore, after carefully thinking about it for two more days, he cheekily proposed a cooperation plan with Chen Qi.

He opened his own studio and tied up with them in an in-depth collaborative way.

Anyway, to the effect that as long as Chen Qi has a role that requires him to participate, he will be on call.

Although Chen Qi has been cheating on him, he has never doubted Chen Qi's ability.

Taking a step back, as long as it is filmed by Chen Qi, even if it is a bad movie, he will admit it!

Even if Chen Qi said what he said when he came to participate in the show, he was not afraid, what was he afraid of?

Chen Qi agreed to his cooperation plan.

......

The next day.

A well-known film and television company.

As soon as I got to work, the company's senior management got a reply from their subordinates.

Several of the main cast members of "Latent" turned down their invitations.

Reject them all.

"???" The high-level executives who heard the result looked confused.

Say no to all?

Just kidding, right?

Others who strip naked and climb into my bed may not be able to enter this company, and now I take the initiative to contact you, and you actually refuse?

We are one of the best film and television companies in the country!

Are your brains watered?

They were all in disbelief.

Reject them?

Seriously, they couldn't remember the last time someone rejected them.

However......

It's all true.

After making sure that they had heard correctly, these high-level executives were stunned.

......

The same scene is happening in other well-known film and television companies.

After hearing that they had declined their invitation, their expressions were surprisingly consistent.

Incredible, unbelievable!

You know, they weren't very famous people before!

As far as they haven't seen the world, they won't faint after such an invitation is smashed?

However, this kind of surprise did not stay on the faces of these big guys for long.

They were soon relieved.

Say no, just say no, it's not a big deal.

There are so many domestic actors, there are not many more of them, and there are not many of them.

It's just a few unknown actors who have become popular, and it's their own loss not to cooperate with them.

They didn't even bother to ask which peer company they had poached.

In the eyes of these bigwigs, a few actors don't matter at all.

......

Nine a.m.

Chen Qi, who woke up naturally, unhurriedly cooked breakfast for himself, and only went out unhurriedly after eating morning and evening.

He's going to Beijing Satellite TV.

Go ask for money.

After the TV series is broadcast, the money that should be collected should also be calculated.

For the actions of major film and television companies, although he didn't see it, he could guess it.

This is a normal operation, and it can also be said to be the unspoken rule of the industry.

He understands.

So he also gave them a chance.

If they could really sign someone away, he didn't really mind.

Good birds choose trees to perch on, he understands.

He didn't need to rush to bind them first because he was afraid that they would be signed away.

If they can't resist these temptations, even if he signs them first, something like a default may happen later.

He didn't want to worry about these things in the future, and he didn't want them to regret it in the future, so he simply let them choose and weigh it first.

He'd already told them what he had to say anyway.

Of course, he was actually a little cautious.

Lu Qiaoshan and their guesses were right, and he did test their minds a little.

If they can withstand such a big temptation when they have just tasted the taste of popularity, then he can use them more confidently and boldly in the future.
