"You're right, as long as you are an actor, you should be respected and you should be given the opportunity to perform. But you should also know that not every actor has such an opportunity, after all, people like you are in the minority. ”

"Those well-known actors are famous because of their wonderful acting skills, and those actors are unknown because their acting skills are not up to par, and if their acting skills are systematically cultivated, I think it is not difficult for them to become famous. ”

"Promise, I remember this suggestion you said. ”

Lu Zhongyuan nodded with satisfaction, he really took this suggestion to heart.

"Thank you, Mr. Lu. ”

Xu Yu knew in his heart that since this matter was remembered by Lu Zhongyuan, it would be easy to change it. The road to change will be long, but at least it can change.

It's worth it.

"When that's done, tell me about your recent work, what kind of itinerary do you have, and just satisfy a little curiosity as a fan. Lu Zhongyuan said with a smile.

"It's serious for Lu Lao to say this, I'm here to report to you, of course, I have to be thoughtful, I'm going to South Korea in the next two days, to help "Pirates of the Caribbean 3" conduct a roadshow. Actually, I didn't have to go, because I was still filming Xingye's "Mermaid", and I could refuse. ”

"It's just that Director Gore said that he wanted to introduce me to a few people, and there is one of them that I value a lot, and you know that I didn't star in and invest in a movie "Parasite" in South Korea before? ”

"Old Lu, it's okay for me to do this, right?"

Xu Xu suddenly thought that this was a cooperation with South Korea, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"What could be the problem!"

Lu Zhongyuan waved his hand and said indifferently: "You are going to make money from Koreans, and you are going to promote the national prestige of our country, this is a good thing, and it should be encouraged! And things like this, don't involve too many other aspects, movies are movies, as long as you shoot good works, you can block the mouths of the people." ”

"Yes!" Xu suddenly became confident.

Several people continued to make small talk.

At noon, it is a dumpling eaten here.

After lunch, Xu Yu got up and said goodbye and left, while Luo Bingzheng and Yan Tong all stayed, they wanted to hear Lu Zhongyuan's evaluation of Xu Yuan, because this would determine how they would get along with Xu Yu in the future.

"Xu Promise is a good actor and a very discerning investor, he has an unusual sensitivity to movies and TV series, and people like him are destined to shine in the film and television industry. I heard that you two didn't sign a TV series called "Parental Love" with him? I'm waiting to see how this TV series goes. ”

This is Lu Zhongyuan's evaluation.

Luo Bingzheng and Yan Tong suddenly knew what to expect.

After promising to say goodbye, he returned to the hotel, and smiled slightly after seeing Xing Ye, "Xing Ye, let's go back to the crew." ”

"What should I do about that matter?" Xing Ye was a little anxious.

"Don't worry, that's done. Xu Promise said.

"Really?" Xing Ye looked surprised.

"Of course, otherwise what do you think I'm going out for? But even if that thing is done, I'll have to wait a week for the crew to continue filming, so I just took advantage of this time to go to South Korea to help with the pirate roadshow. ”

"No problem, you go busy with yours. ”

......

Seoul, South Korea.

in a tavern.

There are two men who are drinking here, and if these two men are put in the film and television industry, everyone knows them.

Although one is just popular, and the other is not as famous as it was back then, even if it is declining, it is a little conceited.

Just as popular is naturally Bong Joon-ho, the director of "Parasite".

The declining director is called Yeon Sang-ho.

The two are friends.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect you, you were still willing to come out with me and sit and drink together, I thought you would have forgotten me a long time ago. Yan Shanghao said dejectedly after drinking the soju in the cup.

There was a strong self-deprecation in the words.

"How is that possible?"

Bong Joon-ho also drained the soju in the cup in one gulp, "I said you shouldn't always look like this, to be honest, your current appearance is quite similar to what I used to be." ”

"I'm turning over with Parasite now, but you don't know what it was like before I turned over? Do you think I'm going to laugh at you now? Or do you don't see me as a friend at all? ”

"Me!"

Yan Shanghao wanted to speak and stopped.

"Okay, let's not talk about unhappy things, let's get down to business. I know you've been planning a movie lately, but you don't have a source of investment, right?" Bong Joon-ho said.

"Yes, my film is very well prepared, the script is absolutely fine, and even I have selected the actors. ”

"Of course they don't know they're being targeted by me, but I don't have any money. The people I went to ask for all turned down the investment when they heard what I was going to do about it. ”

Said speechlessly.

"That's what I came to you for. Bong Joon-ho said.

"What do you mean?" Yan Shanghao was stunned on the spot.

"You should also know who made my movie because of whom, that person is Promise, and he is still the main actor in my movie. What I mean is very simple, if you say you want to shoot, I can introduce you to each other. ”

It just so happens that he will come to Seoul, South Korea in the next two days to promote the new movie "Pirates of the Caribbean 3". Bong Joon-ho said straight to the point.

"Really?" Yan Sang-ho was immediately interested.

"Of course it's true, I personally called him and asked, and he also said that he would meet me when he came, do you think I would joke with you about this kind of thing?" Bong Joon-ho said.

"Good!"

Yan Shanghao smiled happily at once, "You must handle this matter for me, I want to meet this promise." ”

"He could have invested in your film when you were down, and maybe he would have thought that my subject matter was good. Xu promised, he should be a very bold and visionary investor, what do you think if I let him make this movie?"

"Shooting?"

Bong Joon-ho shook his head and said with some uncertainty: "I can't guarantee it if I shoot it, but if it is about investment, he should be interested." Come on, drink, and wait until he comes. ”

"Good. ”

Hope is better than nothing.

Yeon Sang-ho has now pinned his hopes for film investment and shooting on Xu Promise, hoping that this man, who once created a ratings miracle in South Korea, can fall in love with his script at a glance and invest in filming.

Rest assured, promise, I won't let you down!
