Chapter 7: Finding a Solution
Drunkenness can be a painful feeling, especially in old age. After returning home, taking some sobering medicine, and sleeping again, Pei Qingfeng slowly recovered from that drunken state.
Rubbing his swollen forehead, he looked at the time, it was already half past five in the afternoon.
Remembering the audition agreed with Boss Shen at Qingyuantang Restaurant at noon, he hurriedly took out his mobile phone from his pocket and prepared to call Director Zhang Cheng.
It's just that as soon as Pei Qingfeng took out his mobile phone, a notebook that was not big or small suddenly fell out of his pocket.
"Hey, what is this?"
Picking up the notebook from the ground, Pei Qingfeng's brows couldn't help but wrinkle.
I remember that I didn't have this thing with me when I went out in the morning, and when I came back, I suddenly had such a notebook in my pocket......
Could it be that this is a thank you gift from Boss Shen?
Pei Qingfeng secretly shook his head in his heart.
How can I give a notebook as a thank you gift?
He couldn't figure it out, and he didn't think about it anymore.
Putting the notebook on the desk next to him, Pei Qingfeng dialed Director Zhang Cheng's phone.
"Hey, Pei Lao. ”
The phone was connected, and a deep and mellow male voice came from the other side.
"What has Director Zhang been busy with lately? Is the crew of "The Last Emperor" going well?"
"Hey, Sensei, a bunch of bad stuff.
The approval of the budget for the film project, the authorization to shoot in the imperial city, the selection of the main actors...... , not a single thing is smooth. ”
"Director Zhang, don't be in a hurry, things have to be done slowly. ”
After a few more greetings with Zhang Cheng, Pei Qingfeng slowly got to the point: "By the way, Director Zhang, I heard from you just now that I was still worried about the actors in the main roles, have the actors of Chai Yuan been selected?"
"It's not decided yet, but I probably have some eyebrows in mind. The new cast has been decided, and I have also sent them an audition notice, and the audition time is scheduled for next Wednesday, so you can also come and see it when the time comes. ”
"They? ”
After listening to Zhang Cheng's words, Pei Qingfeng couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.
Based on his understanding of Zhang Cheng, Zhang Cheng's tone just now has revealed some problems, and among the people who will audition next week, there must be people who Zhang Cheng is very optimistic about.
Boss Shen's matter is a bit difficult.
Pei Qingfeng couldn't help but ask curiously: "Director Zhang, who are the actors who are going to audition this time?"
"One is David Wu, an actor from Hollywood, who is Chinese, has studied Peking Opera, and was recommended by investors.
The other two are Guo Tiansheng of Shengshi Media and Zheng Feihong of Brilliant Pictures.
Eh, why is Pei Lao suddenly so interested in Chai Yuan's actor candidates today?"
Faced with Zhang Cheng's question, Pei Qingfeng had to answer truthfully: "That's the case, when I went to Wen Tao to do a round table show today, I just met Boss Shen Yuelou Shen of Liyuan. I think Boss Shen has a unique temperament, which is very suitable for the role of Chai Yuan in "The Last Emperor", so I told him that the crew was recruiting actors.
He agreed.
Unexpectedly, you have already found someone here.
Or, let's do it, in a while, I'll send you Boss Shen's personal information, you can look at it, if you think it's okay, let him come to the audition too? ”
"Shen Yuelou, Boss Shen.
Okay, I don't need to read the information, I naturally believe in Pei Lao's eyes, just let him come over for an audition.
The audition was scheduled for the following Wednesday, along with the other three actors. ”
"Okay, I'll talk to him about it then. ”
Hanging up the phone, Pei Qingfeng no longer had any hope in his heart.
Pinnacle Entertainment, Brilliant Pictures and Shengshi Media are known as the three giants of the Chinese entertainment industry and have always regarded each other as competitors. Therefore, there is a high probability that Chai Yuan's role will not fall on the heads of Guo Tiansheng and Zheng Feihong.
From this point of view, the person that Director Zhang likes in his heart should be the Chinese-American Hollywood actor David Wu.
In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that the investment required for the "Last Emperor" project is too huge, and even if it can be profitable in the end, it is impossible for Summit Entertainment to invest all the funds in this project.
Of course, you can't eat it yourself, and you can't cheapen your competitors, so the introduction of foreign capital has become an acceptable plan.
David Wu has a background in the capital and is a well-known Hollywood actor, which will help the global distribution of "The Last Emperor" in the future, so it is very likely that director Zhang Cheng will choose to push the boat down.
"It's just, how should I tell Boss Shen about this?"
Pei Qingfeng frowned, and in a blink of an eye, he saw the notebook on the desk next to him.
When I got it in my hand, I opened the notebook and saw the words "Farewell My Concubine" written on the title page.
"Is "Farewell My Concubine" a new Peking Opera script by Boss Shen on the basis of Mei and Yang?"
Seeing the title of the book, Pei Qingfeng's face couldn't help but show an interested look.
"Bitches are ruthless, and the drama is unrighteous.
……
He is Yu Ji, and those who play against him are overlords.
The overlord is what Yu Ji is attached to.
When he is at the end of his rope, she can't survive.
But that's just a play. In the end, they didn't die.
How do you say it?
Ahem, he's the man he loves the most.
It's hard to start from the beginning.
……”
Time passed minute by minute, and by the time Pei Qingfeng turned the notebook to the end, the night was already deep.
Cheng Dieyi, Duan Xiaolou, Ju Xian, Yuan Siye...... The vivid characters in the story linger in my mind for a long time.
"Farewell My Concubine, what a Farewell My Concubine, this story was originally a play within a play, but the people in the play are not divided into people and plays in the end. ”
The thousand feelings in Pei Qingfeng's heart finally turned into a sigh.
What makes him even more emotional is that the story has the times he has experienced, the changes in the world, and the rise and fall of the pear orchard......
wanted to call Boss Shen and talk about the novel in his hand, but when he saw that it was already more than eleven o'clock in the evening, Pei Qingfeng had to give up.
"Let's call Boss Shen tomorrow, and tell him about the audition by the way. ”
It's just that it's really uncomfortable not to share a good book with others.
So, Pei Qingfeng dialed his old friend, Yao Yumin, editor of Huaxia Literature and Art Publishing House.
"Lao Yao, I read a good book today......"
", I don't listen, I'm going to sleep. ……”
When he returned home from Qingyuantang Restaurant, Shen You had been waiting for Pei Lao's call.
It wasn't until eight o'clock in the evening, when dinner was over, and I still didn't wait.
"It's all at this point, even if you drink too much at noon, it stands to reason that you should sober up?
Shen You wanted to call Pei Lao to ask, but he couldn't help it.
It's hard to speak first.
"Alas, for a meal at noon, I spent a total of 98,000 even on food and wine, but the money was spent, and there was no news of the audition, and I didn't even hear anything about the novel that was sent out......
Before I could settle the matter of rent, I was saddled with a foreign debt of 98,000.
No, I can't always hope for others, I'd better find my own way. ”
In fact, there are only a few ways out, editors, film and television actors, and writers have tried, but so far, there is no actual benefit, and for now, I can only go to singing.
It seems that only the famous singer is my destiny.
Going around and around, you still have to do your old job.
Shen You thought about it and dialed Uncle Chen's phone directly. The only one who can help him in this regard is Uncle Chen.
"Uncle Chen, I've thought about it, I'm going to come back to Liyuan. ”
"Comeback, this is a good thing, are you going to return to the Peking Opera troupe?"
"No, I want to form my own class. ”
"Organize your own class, Xiaolou, have you figured it out?"
"Well, I've figured it out, I just have this idea now, the specifics, and we'll talk about it in detail when we meet one day. ”
"Okay, no matter what you do, Uncle Chen will support you. ”
