Chapter 132: Cause and Effect
The largest investor of "The Best Youth" is the kiwifruit platform, so Kang asked Li Weijie of the kiwifruit platform to help connect the bridges.
Li Weijie is not a philanthropist. The reason why he is willing to help is because in "Artist Trainee", he owes Chen Minhao and Kang Hui a favor due to the copyright issue of "Sing If You Want to Sing".
Although the copyright of "Sing If You Want to Sing" was finally bought back by Mr. Zhang of Shenmeng Brokerage Company, this does not mean that Li Weijie's debt is written off.
Li Weijie saw that there was an opportunity to repay this favor, so he immediately took the lead and helped Chen Minhao invite Wang Danlei, the producer of "The Best Youth", to have dinner together.
Eating with the producer is obviously a social dinner. For this kind of dinner, Chen Minhao can't talk about liking it, but he can't talk about rejection. He just regards this kind of socializing dinner as one of the tasks that must be completed in his star career.
After makeup artist Kevin finished putting on Chen Minhao's makeup, he circled around Chen Minhao and said with satisfaction: "It's very good, it's a pity that there is no packaging gift box and bow, otherwise I would have been able to pack you out." ”
"It's not too late to prepare. Chen Minhao said teasingly.
Kang Hui pursed his lips and said, "Don't be poor, if you really sleep and you can solve the problem, I'll be easy." ”
Kang Hui helped Chen Minhao straighten his collar and said, "Have you remembered Wang Danlei's preferences and experiences that I sent to you on WeChat yesterday?"
Chen Minhao nodded and said, "Remember." ”
Kang Hui sighed and said: "If only "The Best Youth" was a male producer, a few bottles of liquor went down to the stomach, drank the atmosphere, and everything was easy to say." ”
Chen Minhao just wanted to say, it is estimated that the producer has not fallen, and I have already fallen. But he suddenly recalled that on the day the three-person group was established, Kang Hui took the three of them to a big dinner and Kang Hui's sassy and heroic posture at the dinner table.
At the dinner at six o'clock in the evening, Kang Hui and Chen Minhao arrived fifteen minutes early.
Kang returned to a Western restaurant on Huaihai Road, and the waiter took them around and around before they arrived at the reserved private room.
The private room is relatively large, but there is only a large square table and 4 chairs. The distance between the chairs is relatively long, and it is estimated that it is difficult to speak, let alone build a relationship.
When the dishes were ordered in Kanghui, they were ordered in advance. Western restaurants, dishes, and red wine are all to cater to the preferences of producer Wang Danlei.
After a while, Li Weijie arrived with a middle-aged woman in a long blue dress.
Before Chen Minhao could react, Li Weijie greeted enthusiastically: "Long time no see!"
Liu Danlei said with a smile: "This is Chen Minhao, he is so handsome, I am sorry to be so popular." ”
Chen Minhao didn't like this sentence, this sentence seemed to attribute his achievements to his appearance, but he still smiled brightly at Liu Danlei.
"Sister Dan, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule today to participate and come and sit here," Kang Hui finished speaking, pulling out a chair.
Li Danlei was not polite, and sat on the chair pulled out by Kang Hui, with a smile on her face, but this smile carried a hint of alienation.
Chen Minhao opened a bottle of wine and slowly poured it into the glass, he gently rotated the goblet to allow the wine to fully ferment with the air, but without spilling the slightest.
Li Danlei was surprised: "You still know red wine?"
Chen Minhao grinned: "I know a little bit about it." When I'm not busy, I'll have a drink. ”
Chen Minhao's voice is frank and natural.
If it weren't for teaching Chen Minhao how to pour wine last night, Kang Hui felt that what Chen Minhao said was the truth.
Kang Hui praised his artist's acting skills, and wanted to ask a teacher to improve his line skills, which is really useful.
Chen Minhao didn't know at all: because of his words, he had a few more acting skills training in the next period of time.
"I'm sorry, I'm not feeling well today and don't want to drink. Chen Danlei said softly.
Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment, he was wondering whether to continue to fall.
Chen Danlei chuckled and said, "Sit down, let's not drink today, I heard that the steak here is very good, let's eat and chat." ”
Chen Danlei's voice was very gentle, but after thinking about it carefully, but there was domineering in this gentleness, she said that if she didn't drink, then no one else could drink.
"I'm a more direct person, you all invited me here today, so let's just talk about things. After Chen Danlei cut a small piece of steak with a knife, she said: "The role of Wu Yan in "The Best Youth", many people are fighting for it, what do you think you have over them?"
Chen Minhao sighed secretly in his heart, Chen Danlei is really direct, but this can be regarded as pulling into his own field - interview.
.........
As soon as the two got in the car, Kang Hui said: "Your performance is not bad, if you score 100 points, I can give you at least 70 points." ”
Chen Minhao smiled awkwardly and said, "Sister Kang, you can also help me look at other scripts, I feel that she doesn't like me very much, and even hates me a little." ”
Kang Hui asked suspiciously: "Why do you think so? At a dinner like this, it is impossible for the producer to express his position directly." An old fox like Chen Danlei is always polite with a hint of detachment, but it makes people feel a little hopeful. ”
Chen Minhao shook his head and said, "It's not a matter of whether she says or not, it's that she doesn't like me very strongly." ”
As an orphan in his previous life, Chen Minhao was relatively sensitive to whether others were kind or malicious to him, so he was not 100% prepared, but it would not be wrong to prepare a Plan B in advance.
Kang Hui nodded and didn't say anything.
The next day, Chen Minhao received a call from Kang Hui early in the morning.
Kang Hui in a state of rage.
"Your feeling is right, Wang Danlei really doesn't like you. Kang Hui paused for a few seconds and said: "In "Artist Trainee", you refused to shoot a P2P advertisement, and that advertisement was actually found by Wang Danlei on the line. She was upset with you right then. The reason why she asked you to audition was nothing more than because of your popularity. ”
Chen Minhao understood after thinking about it: "With my current popularity, it is news that I can serve as the male leader of "The Best Youth", but the failure of the audition is also my own news, using me as a springboard to help "The Best Youth" stir up the heat with my audition failure." ”
Chen Minhao sighed, there is a cause and effect, but I didn't expect the original refusal to have new problems now. But if you go back in time and let Chen Minhao choose again, he will still choose to refuse to shoot P2P ads.
Kang Hui smiled and said, "Yes, you are becoming more and more sensitive to things in the circle now. ”
The next second, her voice suddenly became serious: "Do you really want to act in this script?"
Chen Minhao thought for more than ten seconds and said: "I like this script a lot, I want to act." ”
Kang Hui said: "Then you have recently devoted yourself to preparing for the audition for "The Best Youth". ”
Chen Minhao asked suspiciously: "Didn't you say that the director is the one who can't make the first male choice?"
Kang stepped on the accelerator and said, "Then you can prepare for the audition, and I'll take care of the rest." I told you that if my artist really wants to eat the queen mother's peach, I also have to learn from Sun Wukong to go to heaven to steal peach. I kill God when I meet God, and kill Buddha when I meet Buddha!"
Kang Hui said murderous, although Chen Minhao knew that Kang Hui would definitely not do anything against the law, but he still couldn't help asking, "Sister Kang, what are you going to do?"
"What can I do? Can I hack her to death with a knife? You remember to prepare for the audition, that's the cornerstone of everything. Your audition is 1, all I can do is 0, and without 1, no amount of 0 is meaningless. ”
