Chapter 17 Xu Zhiyuan

"Knock knock..." Li Mu stood outside Xu Zhiyuan's house.

Xu Zhiyuan, who was in the house, heard a knock on the door and knew that it was Li Mu who was about to open the door when he arrived, but was stopped by his son Xu Lin.

"Dad, I don't need you to open the door for him personally, I want to see where this Li Mu is sacred!" Xu Lin finished speaking and went to open the door without waiting for his father to speak.

As soon as the door opened, Li Mu saw a man about his age looking at him with an unhappy face, looking at him with scrutinizing eyes, Li Mu was a little inexplicable, it was because he had made a mistake!

Just as he wanted to apologize that he had gone to the wrong door, the man on the other side spoke.

"You're Li Mu?" he said, looking him up and down.

This person's eyes made Li Mu very unhappy, but since the other party called out his name, there was no doubt that this was Xu Zhiyuan's family.

"It's Li Mu, come in!" At this time, Xu Zhiyuan's voice came from inside the room.

Hearing his father's voice, Xu Lin had no choice but to let Li Mu in.

"Hello Director Xu, I'm really sorry to come to see you for so long. Li Mu looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, a little younger than he imagined, and estimated that he was only in his early forties. When he was in the prime of life, it was no wonder that he bought the TV broadcast rights before his show began to be produced.

"Xiao Li, you're here, what else are you bringing!" Looking at the things Li Mu was carrying, Xu Zhiyuan feigned anger.

"It's nothing valuable, it's just a little bit of novelty, and you've done me a great favor in the first place! I haven't thanked you yet. Li Mu said.

"Since it's your heart, I'll accept it, but when have I helped you?" Xu Zhiyuan said in surprise.

"At the beginning, Mr. Li of Tomato Video promised to give me a share of the program, and I also got some of the TV broadcast rights you bought for the program, if I didn't have this money, I don't think I would be able to shoot a TV series now. Li Mu explained.

"Don't say that, are they all helping each other, besides, our Beijing TV station has not suffered a loss, I heard Mr. Li say that you have set up a studio and are ready to shoot a TV series?" asked Xu Zhiyuan.

"That's right, I'm going to shoot a TV series, it's a sitcom, the venue and crew are ready, and I'm here to find an actor in the capital this time. Li Mu didn't hide it either.

When Xu Zhiyuan invited Li Mu, he knew that this young man was not simple, and later the success of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" made him firmly believe this, but he didn't think that in just a few months, Li Mu already had his own studio, and he was ready to invest in filming his own TV series. It is very rare for a twenty-four-year-old young man to be able to do this on his own, and it is simply impossible to compare with what his son says in comparison.

Xu Lin, who had not spoken next to him, heard his father say that Li Mu had opened his own studio and was preparing to shoot a TV series, which was difficult to accept for a while. He didn't expect that this peer he had always looked down on would do it to such a point, and he suddenly had mixed feelings in his heart.

Seeing Xu Lin's expression, Xu Zhiyuan knew that his son, who had always been proud, had really been hit this time. sighed slightly in his heart, but after thinking about it, it was good to let him suffer a little blow, people always grow up in setbacks, which strengthened his previous thoughts.

"Xiao Li, I completely believe in your ability, so let's ask for your TV series, we want it from Beijing TV, but I have one condition. Xu Zhiyuan said.

Hearing that he agreed to buy his own TV series before the TV series started filming, Li Mu was very moved.

"Director Xu, thank you for your trust, if you have any conditions, just say it, as long as I can do it, I will definitely agree!"

"Actually, it's not a big deal, this is my son Xu Lin, you have also seen it, and now I work at CCTV, if it is convenient, I want him to stay by your side for a while and learn something." Xu Zhiyuan pointed to his son and said.

"Dad, I still have to go to work, how can I have time. Xu Lin tried to make a last resort.

"What kind of work do you go to, you are messing around all day long, if you go to ask for two months off, I will tell your leaders, take a good look at what others do by Li Mu's side, don't make trouble for the En's family." Xu Zhiyuan taught.

Li Mu didn't expect his request to be this, Xu Lin also roughly understood through the contact with Li Mu in a short period of time, and people are not bad, but because of their good background, they don't look down on others and have some arrogance in their hearts, in short, they are an ordinary "second generation".

"I can't talk about studying, thank you for being able to afford it, then Brother Lynn will follow me for the next two months. Li Mu agreed.

"Then you are going to stay in the capital for a few days, if you need my help, although I am not a figure in this huge capital, I have some acquaintances in the entertainment industry. Xu Zhiyuan said.

Li Muzheng was worried about how to convince Chen He, and when he heard Xu Zhiyuan's words, he was not polite.

"Actually, I do have something I want to ask you for, I came to the capital this time to find an actor, but he rejected me before, if you can, can you please help me ask him out to meet!" Li Mu said.

"You are not famous, and you have never filmed TV, so it's strange that others don't reject you!" finally seized the opportunity, Xu Lin sarcasticly.

"Shut up!" Xu Zhiyuan said angrily.

Seeing that his father was really angry, Xu Lin had to shut up obediently, but he still gloated in his eyes.

"Let me make you laugh, my son just doesn't make people worry!" Xu Zhiyuan said embarrassedly.

"But who is the actor you're looking for, tell me and see if I recognize it. ”

"His name is Chen He, you may not know him, but you must know his uncle Chen Kaige. Li Mu said.

"Brother Chen Kai's nephew, I met him once, and Brother Chen Kai called me that time when he appeared on our TV program. It's easy for him to do it, and Brother Chen still owes me a favor for being on the show that time! I called him and asked. Xu Zhiyuan said with a smile.

Hearing that Xu Zhiyuan actually used up such an important favor for himself, Li Mu was still very moved, after all, the favor of a director of this level is enough to change the fate of an ordinary actor.

"Director Chen, I'm Lao Xu of Beijing TV, I'm sorry to disturb you so late. Xu Zhiyuan dialed the phone.

"It's Director Xu, is there something urgent about calling me so late?" Chen Kaige on the other end of the phone knew that the other party had something to ask for, after all, the two had nothing to do with each other, and the only time was for his nephew.

"I really want to trouble Director Chen, and someone wants to ask your nephew Chen He to make a TV series, but he refused, I wonder if you can ask Chen He out to meet and talk. Xu Zhiyuan went straight to the point.

What did Brother Chen Kai ask him for, it turned out that he was just asking Chen He to shoot a TV. However, although his nephew also made a few TVs, he was not famous, how could anyone invite him, so Brother Chen Kai asked.

"Director Xu, can I ask who wants Chen He to shoot TV. ”

"Director Chen, you have watched the two programs "Who Can Become a Millionaire" and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", and it is Li Mu, the producer of these two programs, who invited Chen He to shoot the TV series, and he now has his own studio. Xu Zhiyuan said.

Although Brother Chen Kai is a person in the film industry, he still has heard of the two programs that were popular some time ago, especially when he heard that Li Mu, who is a producer, is only in his twenties, and he was even more surprised.

"Director Xu, don't worry, I'll tell Chen He, you wait a minute, I'll call him. ”

"Haha, I'm sorry to trouble Director Chen, then I'll wait for your news!"

After Xu Zhiyuan finished speaking, he chatted with Li Mu about the TV series.

And Chen Kaige dialed Chen He's phone.

In an apartment in the capital, Chen He, who had just finished a commercial performance, was watching TV, when he heard the mobile phone ringing, picked it up and saw that it was his uncle Chen Kaige, who hurriedly connected it. After all, he can have it all up to this uncle now, you must know that his classmates have either changed careers or are playing some small supporting roles, and as soon as he graduated, he made several TV series and they were all main roles.

"Uncle, do you have something to do with me so late?"

"Xiaohe, did a person named Li Mu invite you to shoot a TV series some time ago?"

Hearing what Brother Chen Kai said about this, Chen He was a little inexplicable, thinking to himself how could my uncle know that there was a man named Li Mu who asked me to shoot TV. But I answered honestly.

"There is such a thing, last month a man named Li Mu called me to ask me to go to Jiangnan to shoot TV, but he was only a small studio, and it was the first time I made a TV series, I didn't agree, uncle, how did you know?"

Hearing that Li Mu did invite Chen He, Chen Kaige thought for a while and said, "In this way, you can set a place to meet Li Mu tomorrow, and if you have time, you will take the drama!"

"There is time, but what kind of person is this Li Mu, uncle, who actually found you?" asked Chen He.

"It was Xu Zhiyuan from Beijing TV who called me, the last time you were on the show, thanks to the help of others, this favor will always be repaid. And there is no harm in you going to shoot, that Li Mu made two popular variety shows before, you know, maybe this TV series is an opportunity. Chen Kaige said.

Chen He was a little sneering at Brother Chen Kai's words, how could a person who does variety shows make a good TV series. However, Chen He didn't dare not listen to his uncle's words, and that Li Mu could let Director Xu of Beijing TV Station help him speak, compared to the relationship between the two, it was definitely not ordinary, maybe this time he could catch up with Director Xu through Li Mu.

"Okay, uncle, you can tell him to meet at the Shangdao Café near the Beijing Film Academy at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Chen He thought for a while and said.

"Then I'll go and tell him, you can talk to him tomorrow, that young man is not simple. After Chen Kaige finished speaking, he hung up.

Here, Chen He finished talking and sent a message to his agent, making an appointment to meet at ten o'clock tomorrow morning.
