Chapter 426: Coincidence
Xiao Chen returned to the hotel only to find that the contract was missing, which scared him out of a cold sweat, originally a contract was nothing, as long as the two parties did not sign, it was a piece of waste paper, Xiao Chen lost it, just go and get another copy.
But the bad thing is that Xiao Chen signed his name at Party A for convenience, that is to say, if anyone picks up the contract and signs his name on it, the contract will take effect!
In fact, Xiao Chen often signed first, and he did this several times, which was the sequelae left by his time as an assistant, and he didn't feel anything wrong before, after all, nothing had happened.
But this time it's different, in the unfamiliar capital, what if someone really comes to the door?
Xiao Chen had even imagined the scene where Lin Qi scolded him, it seems that he really didn't have the life to be the general manager, and he just came out to do a big project, and he made such a mistake.
Xiao Chen, who was depressed, didn't hear the sound of Didi coming from Big Brother, and it wasn't until he didn't know how many times it sounded that he came back to his senses and pressed the connect button.
"Hey, is it Chen Fei?" There was a female voice on the other end of the phone, but because the signal quality of the eldest brother was too bad, Xiao Chen didn't hear that the other party's voice was actually quite familiar.
"Ah...... Yes, I'm ......" Xiao Chen had to shout by the neck in order to make the other party hear, and the two sides sounded more like shouting in the air. Fortunately, in this era, because of the new venture electronics, the telecommunications bureau in Beijing has begun to trial operate mobile phones, and has invested in more than 50 test base stations in the urban area, otherwise even if the other party knows Xiao Chen's phone number, he will not be able to receive the call.
"You have something that fell on the ground and I picked it up, when do you think you will come and pick it up?" The other party's words made Xiao Chen excited, could it be the director contract that he lost today?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen couldn't sit still anymore, he quickly ran outside the hotel, stopped a taxi, and returned to the film academy.
Half an hour later, Xiao Chen met Chen Lin and her father, Chen Jialin, who is also a director, at Chen Lin's home.
If it were Lin Qi, he would definitely feel surprised, isn't this the director of "Wu Zetian" in the parallel world? In the 90s, Chen Jialin first filmed "Tang Minghuang" and then "Wu Zetian", and he was a director who was very good at making historical dramas.
Originally, because in this world, "Wu Zetian" was taken out by him in advance, so Lin Qi didn't plan to find the original director, after all, Lin Qi was not sure, and now Chen Jialin has the knowledge to shoot "Wu Zetian", but by mistake, he went around and around and returned here.
Although Chen Jialin is already a TV series director, he can't be compared with Chen Kaige and Zhang Yimou, but fortunately, he knows Wu Zetian very well about the historical figure, and he is usually familiar with her various official and wild histories, so he can be regarded as a fan of Wu Zetian. Therefore, the details of "Wu Zetian", which was filmed later, are very in place.
"Thank you very much, if Miss Chen hadn't picked up my contract today, I'm afraid it would have caused very serious consequences, thank you so much. Xiao Chen hurriedly said thank you to Chen Lin a lot, but he was still a little strange, he only needed to pay back the contract to himself at school, why bother to come to her house, it felt like something big was wrong.
"That's the case, what about me, I looked at the content of the contract without your consent, and found that you are going to shoot a historical drama related to "Wu Zetian", and now you are looking for a director, right?" Chen Jialin rubbed his hands, intellectuals like him would also feel ashamed for peeking at other people's things, originally he was embarrassed to say this, but as soon as he saw Wu Zetian's three words, he couldn't take his eyes off, he felt that he had to take over this, otherwise he would be sorry for the books he had read.
His affectionate eyes are ready to recommend himself, but he is not easy to say. But this hint is to show the blind man, Xiao Chen doesn't know much about the directors in the domestic film and television industry, and will only look for first-line directors. Even though he knew that Chen Jialin was also a director, he didn't seriously hand over this TV series to someone he didn't know about filming.
Xiao Chen felt a little speechless, what kind of person is this, I have to rummage through the things after picking them up, if I lose my wallet, do I have to help me count how much money is in it?
"Yes, because our company signed a film and television contract with Liu Daqing, we recently plan to use her as the heroine to shoot "Wu Zetian". But because people helped him, Xiao Chen didn't show too much anger, he answered Chen Jialin's question with a smile, but there was still some anxious look between his eyebrows, after all, he hadn't found the director yet.
Although Lin Qi did not stipulate the number of days he could go on a business trip, he was the general manager, so he had to set a good example for the people under him, and he could not develop the bad habit of procrastination and inefficiency.
"Mr. Chen, you and I are both surnamed Chen, and we are still our own family. You may not know, but I am also a director, and I have studied Wu Zetian very deeply, so I thought, can we talk about cooperation? Although Chen Jialin really wants to direct this TV series, the arrogance of being a director still makes him a little difficult to speak, after all, he has never done this kind of begging for people.
A person like Xiao Chen could hear it as soon as he heard it, how could he not know the hidden meaning of Chen Jialin's words. But to be honest, Xiao Chen didn't like this director a little, because in his impression, directors generally look arrogant or simple like old farmers, wearing glasses, with a white beard, looking quite vicissitudes but very different.
Chen Jialin looks too ordinary, and looking at the environment of his home, he is not too rich, and the director, if he directs a few blockbuster films, even in China, he can't have a small house with an area of less than 40 square meters?
Chen Lin on the side saw Xiao Chen's embarrassed look, and he didn't get angry, his father had already expressed it obviously, what else did he want, he still had a good impression of Xiao Chen at the beginning, and now Chen Lin can't wait to smoke a few mouths of himself at the beginning, making you blind!
"Well, I'll leave your phone number first, and then I'll go to meet with a few directors and finally choose a suitable director to sign a contract, you can rest assured, you will definitely be our first choice." Xiao Chen patted his chest, and then took the contract and left with some embarrassment, he said it well, what is the priority, what is suitable, but in the final analysis, he still didn't like Chen Jialin, and regarded him as a spare tire that had to be chosen if he had no choice.
Otherwise, at this time, it was Zhang Yimou who signed a contract with him, and Xiao Chen would definitely have to sign a contract without saying a word, and he would still need to investigate.
Chen Jialin didn't say anything, anyway, he wanted to shoot the TV "Wu Zetian", but at present, there are too few film and television teams in the mainland, and the ratings of costume dramas like this are not very high, and the cost is huge.
In fact, if it weren't for the promotion of Liu Daqing's new star entertainment company, Lin Qi would not have thought of investing in "Wu Zetian".
