"Boss Shen, wait a minute. ”

Walking to the door of the Phoenix Hall, Shen You was just about to take a taxi home, when he suddenly heard someone calling him behind him.

Looking back, it was Pei Qingfeng.

Shen You hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Pei Laohou, he asked with a puzzled expression, "Pei Lao, do you have something to do with me?"

Pei Qingfeng smiled and nodded: "Something!"

Looking around, seeing that Shen You didn't drive, Pei Qingfeng said again: "I can't say a word or two about this, let's find a place to sit down and talk slowly." My driver is almost here, so let's wait here for a while. ”

"Okay!" Shen You nodded.

About three to five minutes later, a black red flag sedan slowly drove in this direction. The driver stopped, Pei Lao opened the door, and Shen You also got into the car.

Sitting in the car, Shen You couldn't help but ask curiously, "Old Pei, where are we going?"

"It's almost noon, let's go have a meal first. ”

Pei Lao raised his wrist to look at the time, and then said to Xiao Zhou, the driver in front, "Go to Qingyuantang Restaurant." ”

Qingyuantang Restaurant is not far from here, go forward three streets, turn right and two alleys, and the car will stop in front of a rather magnificent restaurant.

Shen You followed Pei Lao to get out of the car, only to see a pair of majestic stone lions at the door of the restaurant, and there was a plaque on the frieze, on which were written "Qingyuantang Restaurant".

Entering the restaurant, under the guidance of the running hall, Shen You and Pei Qingfeng came to a private room inside.

After taking a seat, Pei Qingfeng introduced to Shen You: "Among the eight major cuisines, I am the only one who likes Huaiyang, and the restaurant in Yanjing belongs to Qingyuantang Huaiyang cuisine that is the most authentic, and Boss Shen can taste it later." ”

Shen You glanced at the prices of the dishes on the menu, and was immediately discouraged.

"As soon as I come back here for dinner, I don't know what to order, so let's have some Pei Lao!"

Shen You said and handed the menu to Pei Qingfeng.

I can't afford it!

Pei Qingfeng didn't care, took over the menu, and directly ordered more than a dozen famous Huaiyang dishes such as stewed crab roe lion's head, crystal meat, squirrel mandarin fish, and Liangxi crispy eel.

After ordering, the little guy who ran the hall came out of the private room with the menu, and Shen You asked Pei Lao: "I don't know what Pei Lao is looking for me?"

Pei Qingfeng didn't answer directly, but asked Shen You a question: "I heard that Boss Shen usually likes to read, so have you ever read the biography of Chai Yuan "The Last Emperor" written by the contemptible person before?"

Shen You didn't know why Pei Qingfeng asked this, but he also answered truthfully: "Two years ago, I had the pleasure of reading it, strange people and strange things, and it can be described as a magnificent work. ”

"Then what does Boss Shen think of the last emperor Chai Yuan and Chai Yaozhi?"

Pei Qingfeng looked at Shen You with burning eyes, as if he had some expectations.

Shen You recalled the content of the original book in his mind, and couldn't help but sigh: "Even if you are a noble emperor, you are just a poor worm struggling to survive in the troubled times.

There is no hope of recovering the country, betraying the country to seek glory, he is pedantic but open-minded, cowardly and heroic, obsessive but able to wake up, and has too many complex and contradictory human nature. ”

After listening to Shen You's answer, Pei Qingfeng praised: "Hahaha, it's complicated and contradictory, it's good, Boss Shen really understands him." ”

After this question and answer, Shen You was still a little confused in his heart: What did Pei Lao mean? After talking for a long time, he still didn't say anything about me?

After a while, the people who ran the hall put the dishes together, and Pei Lao opened another bottle of Moutai.

Pouring wine into the two cups, Pei Qingfeng invited Shen You to taste Huaiyang's famous dishes, and told him the reason for the incident.

"Here's the thing, about half a year ago, Zhang Cheng, the director of Summit Entertainment, approached me and said that he wanted to make my book "The Last Emperor" into a movie, and I would be the screenwriter of the film.

After two months of talking, the matter was finally settled.

Three months ago, the crew began to recruit actors, and the actors who were invited to audition Chai Yuan met one after another, and Director Zhang Cheng was not very satisfied.

If the main actors are not finalized, many things will not be able to go on later.

Recently, he has been worrying about this matter as well.

Today, after I met Boss Shen on the roundtable program, I think you are quite suitable and want you to try it? Are you interested?"

"Let me play Chai Yuan?

After listening to Pei Lao's words, Shen You said with a surprised face: "I haven't played a major role in a film and television drama before, and there are some differences between the performance methods of Peking Opera actors and movie actors."

Are these all right?"

Although Shen You did think about developing in the film and television industry before, he also looked forward to a reliable crew coming to him for filming.

It's just that this is too reliable!

Summit Entertainment, one of the three giants in the Chinese entertainment industry, has assets of more than 10 billion.

Zhang Cheng is an internationally renowned director.

"The Last Emperor", a masterpiece by a famous artist.

The combination of these three is unprecedented in scale, and it is definitely a super-first-line production.

As soon as I came up, I acted as the absolute male number one in a super first-line production, am I the chosen one?

Seeing that Shen You was a little confused, Pei Qingfeng couldn't help but smile and persuade: "Boss Shen, don't have any worries, whether the performance method is suitable or not, Director Zhang Cheng will consider it."

As for what you said that you haven't played the main role in film and television dramas before, that's not a problem, Director Zhang Cheng is in the circle, but he is famous for liking newcomers.

In Director Zhang's words, it is not a problem to have young acting skills, both the director and the editor can help you, the key is to see if you have the kind of characteristics that fit the role, these things are innate, there is something, and if you don't have it, you don't have it.

As soon as I saw Boss Shen, I felt that some of your qualities just matched Chai Yuan, so I recommended you to audition.

However, I am only the screenwriter of this play, and my power is limited, whether it will work or not depends on the meaning of director Zhang Cheng after the audition. ”

"Thank you Pei Lao, I am willing to participate in the audition. ”

After pondering for a moment, Shen You raised his wine glass and solemnly thanked Pei Lao.

This opportunity is too rare, if it weren't for Pei Lao, he wouldn't have been able to touch it at all.

After finishing a glass of wine, Pei Qingfeng said with a smile: "Okay, I'll communicate with Director Zhang about this when I go back, and I'll tell you when the audition time is set."

Hopefully we'll have a chance to work together. ”

"I will do my best to live up to your expectations. ”

Shen You picked up the wine and toasted Pei Lao again.

After that, Shen You chatted with Pei Lao about Peking Opera, movies, and literature,...... The more they talked, the more speculative they became, and the more they drank, the more enjoyable they became.

"Boss Shen is right, come, have a drink. ”

"What Pei Lao said is reasonable, come, do it. ”

The two drank happily, Pei Lao gradually overdosed, and although Shen You was also a little dazed, he was still quite sober.

"Drink, come, no......"

Seeing Pei Lao lying on the table muttering, Shen You slowly walked out.

took out his mobile phone to call Uncle Chen, borrowed some money, and Shen You secretly settled the account.

Today, Pei Lao gave himself such a good opportunity, and it is not good to let him invite him again for this meal.

"Brother Zhou, please come in, Pei Lao drank too much. ”

Together with the driver Xiao Zhou, he helped Pei Lao into the car, and Shen You easily stuffed the manuscript of "Farewell My Concubine" into Pei Lao's pocket.

Watching the Hongqi sedan drive away, Shen You waved his hand and stopped a taxi to go home.
