Chapter 15: Trouble Comes to the Door

It is reported that the film studio is currently preparing a costume film after blockbuster films such as "The True Color of Heroes" and "Sword and Horse", and the director is Chen Xiaodong, who won the best martial arts instructor this year. However, the casting for several days seemed to be extremely unsmooth, and in terms of actors, well-known movie stars Wang Yu and Zhang Zetao all went to audition. In terms of actresses, beauties such as Zhang Mengling and Xu Xihui, as well as many Hong Kong sisters, also recommended themselves to ...... However, the internal staff of the studio kicked out and vetoed them all!" - Xiangjiang Xingma Daily.

"The film studio is divided internally, and the new film breaks out that the director and the producer are not in harmony! The actors and scripts are all rejected, and the new director Chen Xiaodong rarely gets angry and picks. "Mong Kok Night" director Chen Jialuo re-emerged and joined the new film as a producer. The actors, the script, all dissatisfied...... Xu Youzhong mediated, and it was difficult to resolve it peacefully. —Xin Ming Pao.

"The screenwriter has changed his draft three times, and it is difficult to meet the taste of the producer. Chen Jialuo, who returned from studying in the UK, has a new concept, but it is difficult to hide the fact that he does not understand the Hong Kong Film Market. At a time when fashion action comedies are all the rage, will there be a market for costume films?"

……

Almost without warning, the next day's Heung Kong Entertainment section of the news section reported on the film studio's many problems about the new film.

Since "The True Color of Heroes" and "Sword and Horse", Xu You has become famous, and the next film studio helmed by him has naturally received widespread attention from the entertainment industry. There have also been reports on the preparation of their new film.

But when Chen Xiaodong slammed the door and left, after Ruan Jingxiong angrily denounced the incident, negative news such as discord between the director and the producer, and the screenwriter's dissatisfaction with the producer were instantly exposed. A lot of inside information, verbal confrontations and scene descriptions are impressive, and at first glance, they are insiders breaking the news.

"Ruan Jingxiong: A rookie director who hits the streets, he doesn't know what a script is at all!"

"Wang Yu: He asked me to change into a set of ancient costumes and walk a few steps, director Chen Xiaodong seemed to be very satisfied, but producer Chen Jialuo was expressionless......"

"Xu Xihui: I think my image should be very consistent, and I am confident that I will win the role of female number one!"

……

The true or false words of many people involved in the production of this costume film pushed Chen Jialuo, who had been silent for two years and was unknown, to the public's eyes again. Regarding his background and origin, even the old Huang calendar of filming "Mong Kok Night" angrily scolding Zhou Jin, kicking out the assistant director, etc., has all been turned out.

For a while, Chen Jialuo's three words became the talk of many filmmakers after dinner.

In Chen Jialuo's office, he was looking at the reports of these newspapers and media on the matter, his face was calm, and he did not see any dissatisfaction.

Although many reporters in newspapers and magazines described him as an arrogant and self-righteous director, he has long been familiar with the discipline of entertainment reporters.

What's more, this is Xiangjiang, which is famous for the paparazzi and the most shameless place for entertainment reporters.

When he came to the company in the morning, he was stopped by many reporters to ask questions. Regarding any discord, dissatisfaction with the script, etc., he denied them all.

So much so that the other colleagues in the office were silent when they saw him appear, for fear of annoying this 'difficult Chen Jialuo'. ’

On the contrary, Ruan Jingxiong refuted the rumors for Chen Jialuo this morning, saying that he had no contradiction with the producer at all, and as a screenwriter, it was very normal to change the script.

In addition, Chen Jialuo rushed to Chen Xiaodong's house yesterday, and after a long talk, Chen Xiaodong also appeared in the company this morning, but he had already rushed to check the props and the layout of the filming location.

"I didn't expect to become famous in this way first, Xu You's film studio is really a big show!" Chen Jialuo sighed.

If you change to other independent film production companies, I am afraid that these things will not be noticed by the media circle in Hong Kong at all.

"Knock knock—"

"Please come in. ”

A knock on the door broke Chen Jialuo's thoughts, and after a while, a staff member shrank his head and said, "Brother Luo, there is an actress who said to come to audition." ”

"Didn't you arrange anyone to try on makeup today?" Chen Jialuo heard this, and wondered: "Who is it? Do you know each other?"

Xiao Du looked strange and said: "Xue Ni of Hanhai Company, the actress who worked with you in "Mong Kok Night". ”

"Huh?"

Chen Jialuo was slightly stunned, what kind of fame did this woman come to do.

There is a way that is a blessing and not a curse, and it is a disaster to avoid. After all, the original 'self' had something to do with the other party, so he said helplessly: "Let her in." ”

After a while, Xue Ni, dressed in youth and beautiful clothes, appeared in Chen Jialuo's office. The two met again, and Xue Ni did not have the slightest stage fright, let alone the embarrassment of pretending not to see Chen Jialuo on the peninsula earlier.

She sat elegantly opposite Chen Jialuo, her eyes were full of flattery, and her voice was glutinous: "Brother Luo, long time no see." ”

This woman is very smart, and now the film studio has a good reputation, and she has such a hit work as "The True Color of Heroes" in her hands. The next movie shooting will definitely become the focus of the entertainment industry. Coupled with Chen Jialuo, who has *** pleasure with herself, joined the film studio, she felt that her opportunity had really come.

As long as she can win the heroine of the new film in the film studio, she will definitely add a lot of points. When the time comes, during the filming process, release a little ambiguous scandal between himself and Chen Jialuo, and it will definitely become really popular.

However, Chen Jialuo didn't give her any illusions, only to see him raise his hand and look at his watch, and said, "Miss Xueni, long time no see." But let me make it clear in advance that the heroine of this play is not suitable for you. I'll have an appointment later, you see?"

Those indifferent eyes directly told Xue Ni that this is a guy who doesn't miss old loves, or a thing that turns his face and doesn't recognize people.

Thinking that she was 'deceived' at the beginning, and the scene was a mess, Xue Ni bit her lip tightly, and finally stopped being weak, and said coldly: "Brother Luo, the second female is okay." ”

Chen Jialuo shook his head and said, "No." ”

Regarding Chen Jialuo's reaction, Xue Ni calmly stroked her hair and said: "Brother Luo, the current paparazzi are pervasive, I'm afraid that your ugly things will be exposed!"

Scandal?

Not to mention that that incident has nothing to do with the current Chen Jialuo, even if it is really done by herself, is it possible that a small actress can make any waves?

Xue Ni's threat seemed to Chen Jialuo, who was a man of two lives, how naïve and ridiculous.

Chen Jialuo chuckled and shook his head, stood up under Xue Ni's gradually dilated pupils, pinched her chin unceremoniously, and said: "Do you think I will admit the report without evidence? Even if it is really exposed, I am not an actor, what are I afraid of? On the contrary, you are afraid that you will be ruined when the time comes." ”

Xueni's heartfelt words shocked her, she slapped Chen Jialuo's hand resentfully, gritted her teeth and said, "Then you won't be happy, no one will dare to take your film in the future!"

"Get out!"

Chen Jialuo returned to his position, and carefully read the script revised by Ruan Jingxiong overnight, and no longer bothered with Xueni.

"You, you wait!"

Xueni, who was trembling with anger, pointed at Chen Jialuo, and finally said a cruel word, and walked out of the other party's office with great resentment.

The sword and sword shadows in the office will not be known to the outside, and the staff outside saw the graceful Xue Ni walk in, and then walked out with a faint smile.

"Xue Ni is so coquettish, do you think she has anything to do with that? I see her smiling, maybe it's the heroine. ”

"There are so many actresses with acting skills and outstanding appearance under Yidu, Chen Jialuo doesn't need to leave it alone, use this vase, right?"

"Who knows, anyway, it's not about casting, it's up to him to decide later. ”

……

Gossip is human nature, especially for low-level entertainment workers like them. On the one hand, they can't reach a higher level, and on the other hand, they are more accessible to these directors and actors than ordinary people, so a lot of gossip news is spread from them.

Xue Ni's appearance is an inconsequential trivial matter for Chen Jialuo. That level of threat seemed to him extremely naïve and ridiculous.

After he carefully read Ruan Jingxiong's script, he bound it in a folder, and then left the film studio with him.

Earlier, he said that there was an appointment, not just to catch up with Xueni, but to really have an appointment.
