Chapter 87: The Covenant
"Brother Lou, do you have time in August?"
"August ?...... I haven't had any arrangements lately, there is a group in October, it's still early, and I've been at home in Shuntianfu recently, and I have something to say. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ infoβ
"That's right, I'm going to start a new play, if you have time, come and play a role for me in August, right?"
"Yes, no problem...... Oh...... Hey, your sister-in-law! What, Qian'er, your sister-in-law asked me to ask you if there is any role she is suitable for, and a cameo is okay. β
Li Qian laughed, "Don't talk! As soon as she comes, she will crush a few young actors in my group to the point that they dare not speak!"
Kang Xiaolou just smiled, the mobile phone has been taken away by Ming Xiaojing, this not only has won a grand slam of two awards and three actresses in China, but also the second Chinese actress to win the Venice actress, and now it can be regarded as the highest level among all domestic actors.
After taking the Venice Queen, she chose to temporarily take a break from the film to marry, first as a concubine, and then on the throne, and now she is Kang Xiaolou's wife, in 98 years, she gave birth to a baby daughter for Kang Xiaolou, and she has been honestly taking care of her children at home for the past two years.
Li Qian and Kang Xiaolou met when they were filming "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", and their relationship has always been good, when their daughter was full moon, Li Qian also used to drink full moon wine, as Li Qian began to transform to a large extent in film and television, the connection between the two of them is getting closer and closer, and the relationship is naturally becoming more and more intimate.
Ming Xiaojing took the phone, and the first thing he said was, "Qian'er, I heard that your script was stuck, what's the matter?"
Li Qian smiled and said, "No!" After a pause, he said: "By the way, sister-in-law, if you really want to play a cameo role, I really have a suitable ......"
"Yo, really, that's great, that's it!" she said cheerfully, but after a pause, she then admonished, "If you need help, you can say hello! I have been with your brother Lou for a few years more than you, and I know a few more people than you." β
"Well, thank you, sister-in-law! I know! If you can't get over it, I'll definitely ask you for help!"
"Cheng! Then say so!" After finishing speaking, the phone returned to Kang Xiaolou's hand, and Kang Xiaolou also asked: "Did you offend someone?" Or did you step on the line in your notebook?"
Li Qian smiled and said, "It shouldn't be!" After a pause, he said: "I haven't received any news from my side so far, so I think if those statements outside are true, I have to say something else!"
"Oh, that's it!"
β¦β¦β¦β¦
Hanging up the phone, Li Qian was open-minded.
It's not just that he has attracted two powerful actors to help his movie, but more importantly, when he is "in trouble", these friends who are usually in trouble are still very reliable!
Of course, although Kang Xiaolou has never been a big hit, on the one hand, he is a part-time guest professor at the Huaxia Drama Academy, on the other hand, he is also the main actor of the Shuntianfu Drama Club, and at the same time, he also runs a small film and television company, and his acting strength is still not picky!
In addition, there is also a slam-level actress Ming Xiaojing to make a cameo appearance in a few scenes, this is a proper publicity point - for a rookie director like Li Qian, who is making a movie for the first time, this is properly called a collaboration!
In this way, the actor of the aunt of the male protagonist in the play is there, and Ming Xiaojing is absolutely suitable!
And Kang Xiaolou's sword eyebrows and starry eyes are the kind of jade-faced scholar who is both handsome and temperamental, and it is perfect for him to play the successful man who went on a blind date with the heroine in the movie!
This solves two more!
Unscrewed the cap of the pen and put two more hooks on the cast list written by himself, Li Qian looked proud!
At this moment, there was a sudden knock at the door, Li Qian shouted "enter", and then continued to search the list, took out his mobile phone to find the number - he is not a successful director now, and he has not been in the industry for a long time, but he is almost able to do the degree that many actors can roughly circle before a drama is about to start filming.
Now, although the script has been stuck, including the audition for Zhou Zhiyu, the preparation and casting of the new movie have not stopped there, and are still moving forward step by step.
In addition to taking a certain amount of time to accompany Zhou Yan, he still spends a lot of time every day on the preparation of new movies.
The door opened, Zou Wenhuai walked in, Li Qian looked up and saw that it was him, so he said casually: "Sit." Something?"
Zou Wenhuai went to the sofa area and sat down, frowning, but he didn't speak, until Li Qian looked over again, he said: "There is a matter, but I don't know what to say, anyway...... I don't think it's quite right!"
Li Qian looked at him, stunned for a second or two, simply put down the list in his hand, put down his mobile phone, got up and walked over, sat down, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zou Wenhuai still frowned, and said, "Zhou Chengxu, you know, right?"
Li Qian nodded, "You know, what's wrong?"
Zhou Chengxu, of course Li Qian knows, his father Zhou Yanghua is the boss of Oriental Media, the largest film and television production company in China, and is also the investor behind the film master Du Weiyun. Zhou Chengxu, as the son of tycoon Zhou Yanghua, is said to be currently serving as the deputy general manager of Oriental Media, and is a typical rich second generation in the film and television industry.
When "The Love of Green Onions" was released, Zhou Chengxu once supported Yu Bojun on behalf of Oriental Media, and after Li Qian was introduced to him by Yu Bojun, he met twice on two different occasions in the past period of time, and they were not familiar with each other, and they just nodded their heads. Even, because he went to the Shuntian Mansion Peking Opera Theater some time ago to entangle Cheng Suhua, it made Li Qian quite unhappy.
is similar to his father Zhou Yanghua who is famous in the rivers and lakes because he married his wife in the thirteenth room, and he is also known for liking pickling girls, but what kind of woman does his father like, he often marries back home, so the reputation has always been good, he just belongs to the kind of pants that does not admit it, the reputation has always been bad, and there is a typical flower.
Many people in the circle know that he has a good relationship with Yu Bojun, who also has a cinema chain and a film company at home, but Yu Bojun personally told Li Qian that they can only be regarded as friends of wine and meat. Even when it comes to pickling girls, Yu Bojun is extremely disdainful of him, and deeply despises that person who only knows how to spend money when he meets Niu'er.
At this time, hearing Zou Wenhuai suddenly mention this person, Li Qian was a little surprised in his heart.
Zou Wenhuai said: "I have known Zhou Chengxu for a long time, but the friendship is limited, the two of us play different ways, besides, people don't look down on a small agent like me, but last night was very evil, he actually took the initiative to call me and ask me to drink, then of course I went, don't go to give face." β
After seeing the face, he rambled and didn't say anything important, I just thought about it in my heart, and didn't take it seriously, until just now, he called me and said that his father wanted to meet you and invite you to dinner. When I got the call, I started to feel that something was wrong. β
Speaking of this, he looked at Li Qian and said, "His father, Zhou Yanghua of Oriental Media, you should always know, right?"
Li Qian nodded, thoughtful.
This matter is somewhat abrupt, people who don't know each other and have little to do with it, or predators in the industry, suddenly make a detour and ask to see him, and whoever changes it can't help but guess, not to mention that at this moment, Li Qian is in a time when he is extremely sensitive to changes in the outside world.
Thinking of the last few words that Zhao Sicun said when he called, which were half hints and half supports, Li Qian was even more puzzled in his heart-but the question was, what was he going to do?
This is a question that has puzzled him before.
Zhao Sicun's words were very clear, because the pressure given by the other party was too great, so he had to temporarily suppress his script, but at most it was just suppressed! First, his script was very clean, and no one could find any fault, and second, Zhao Sicun was also his friend after all, and he sat in the position of director of the department, and he could not be rubbed by others casually.
However, of course, it is very likely that you are just too sensitive.
After all, the other party is also one of the most bullish bigwigs in the industry, and so far, even the first movie is still only in the preparation period, and it can even be regarded as not yet in the industry.
He really didn't need to stumble on himself!
After thinking for a long time, Li Qian asked, "Zhou Yanghua wants to meet me?"
"Well, he told me personally. Zou Wenhuai said, "It's quite polite to speak, what you have admired for a long time! He also said that as long as you agree, everything depends on your convenience, and everyone will make an appointment when you have time." β
Li Qian raised his hand and touched his chin, suddenly smiled, and asked, "What else did he say?"
Zou Wenhuai shook his head, "No, just this matter, I said that when you have news, let me call him back." β
Li Qian nodded, took a deep breath, and slowly spit it out.
After a while, he asked, "What have we dealt with Oriental Media before, and have you ever offended Zhou Yanghua and their father and son?"
Zou Wenhuai pondered for a moment when he heard this, and said, "No, right?"
But after a while, he said: "If you have to say that there is, didn't we want to shoot "Meteor Garden" some time ago, at that time, many companies got the news and hoped to talk to us about cooperation, at that time, Oriental Media was also among them, and also sent a director of the production department to talk to us, but according to your request, Mr. Qi all refused, we have neither lack of funds, nor lack of channels, we can't cooperate with them......! Even before that, we had little contact with them. β
Speaking of this, he wrinkled his eyebrows, thought for a long time, and said: "But this is also normal! No matter from which point of view, other people's dramas do not need to attract investment, that is other people's dramas, this is very normal in the film and television industry, is it possible that you can make money watching other people's dramas, if you want to invest, people must let you in? If you don't let you in, you will become enemies? There is no reason for this!"
"Besides, Zhou Yanghua's business is so big, how big is the stall of Oriental Media, how can he be angry because of this little thing?
Hearing this, Li Qian nodded slowly.
Afterwards, he said to Zou Wenhuai: "Don't be busy answering the phone first, in this way, you can go and ask someone to sort out a systematic information for me about the news and trends related to the Oriental Media and Zhou Yanghua in recent years, I want to read it!
