On the way to Zhang Zien's house, Chen Baoguo instructed: "Zhang Zien is also a veteran director, one of the representatives of the fourth generation of directors, he started making movies when I just graduated from filming, and in recent years, he has become older, and the focus of his work is on TV series. ”

Lu Yan understood what Chen Baoguo meant, although because it was CCTV investment, Zhang Zien's dominance in the crew was not large, but he had deep qualifications, and he had to have the number of courtesies he should have.

"By the way, when you come back, you can buy this Jinghua Yanyun and take a look, and learn more."

Lu Yan said: "I'm watching it now." ”

Chen Baoguo understood his temper, and there were not many surprises, so he nodded and said, "Oh, it's pretty good." ”

"The Smoke of Beijing" is written very much like Dream of Red Mansions, although he only read two chapters of the English version, and was shortlisted for the Nobel Prize in Literature four times in 1944, 1972, 1973, and 1975, but unfortunately failed because of the background of the times.

Chinese people have very special feelings for the Nobel Prize, it can be said that they love and hate, but it is undeniable that their expectations for it have never decreased, and the closest to this award should be Mr. Shen Congwen, but because of his death, the organizing committee temporarily decided to give the award to others that was originally awarded to him.

"Did the teacher work with him?" Lu Yan asked.

Chen Baoguo thought for a while and said: "I have cooperated, and now I say that it was more than 20 years ago, and I have collaborated on two plays, one is called "Divine Whip", and the other is "Silent Xiaoli River", and there will not be much intersection in the future." ”

Lu Yan was speechless, he was only four years old twenty years ago, and he was running around the streets with his bare buttocks.

Zhang Zien's home is a medium-sized courtyard house, probably because Chen Baoguo had called before, and the door opened after just two knocks.

The man who opened the door was a man in his fifties and sixty years old, and when he saw the two people outside the door, he smiled and said, "Baoguo is here, go, talk in the house." ”

Lu Yan guessed that this should be Zhang Zien, dressed very plainly, his hair was dyed, because the roots of his hair were all white, but the top was jet black, wearing big glasses, probably old, smiling, his eyes narrowed into a slit, revealing a little bit of wisdom that made people feel wise.

followed into the courtyard, although it is a courtyard, but the interior decoration is quite modern, the furniture is all Western-style, Chen Baoguo pointed to Lu Yan and said: "This is my apprentice, Lu Yan, I injured my leg because of filming before, and now I will be fine." ”

Zhang Zien nodded, but the smile on his face gradually faded, even if he was unwilling, but he couldn't refuse, Chen Baoguo had already made it clear that this was his apprentice.

Now is different from the past, the last time the two worked together, Chen Baoguo was still a young idol, but now he is a character in the circle who stomps his feet and shocks three times.

He can't help but give Chen Baoguo this face, he still has students and disciples in this circle, and if he doesn't give Chen Baoguo face, he just doesn't give his younger generations a way to live.

He stretched out his hand and pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said, "Yang Shanpu told me two days ago, Lu Yan, change your costume, I'll find it for you." ”

After changing his costume and putting on his wig, Zhang Zien asked him to sit down, looked at it for a while, and said unhotly or coldly: "Well, the image is good, this is the script, you take it back and take a look."

Chen Baoguo kept watching with a smile on his side, until Zhang Zien said this, and then said, "Thank you Director Zhang." ”

Zhang Zien waved his hand and said: "I have seen your apprentice play the Yongle heroic sons and daughters before, the performance is very spiritual, I hope to have a good performance in this play." ”

Chen Baoguo said: "My apprentice, you can rest assured, it won't be bad." ”

"Hehe, you're still the same as when you were young"

Zhang Zien said this, took out two contracts from the drawer, and said: "Baoguo is also here, it just so happens that you all signed the contract together, and the start-up time is probably in late November or early December." ”

Chen Baoguo didn't hesitate, he flipped through the contract casually, and signed his name on it, Lu Yan did the same, but when he saw the salary above, his eyes flashed with a hint of waves, three thousand and one episodes.

Before he filmed the legend of the White Snake, it was 6,000, although there was an element of declining popularity, but he also understood in his heart that a big reason was that Zhang Zien was unhappy with Chen Baoguo's forcible victory of this role, and deliberately lowered the salary.

The salary of a popular actor has risen and fallen, but his salary is not high, even if it drops, it should not be reduced so much.

But he didn't hesitate, being able to play was already for Chen Baoguo's sake, and he couldn't ask for so much.

After signing the contract, Zhang Zien didn't say that the two would stay.

Chen Baoguo is very happy to join Zhang Zien, but the male number one Chen Baoguo and the producer directly settled down to make him very uncomfortable, but after so many years in this industry, he can also see it, as long as Lu Yan acts well, he will not say anything, if he does not act well, then he will be good-looking, and his face will have to be earned by himself.

got into the car, Lu Yan said: "Doesn't Director Zhang look very happy?" ”

Chen Baoguo laughed twice, and said: "No one will be happy, this circle is like this, what you don't listen to, there are more wolves and less meat, modesty is for the media and the public, in the face of opportunities, you have to learn to fight and grab, otherwise you won't be popular for the rest of your life", at the end, he told again: "You go back and read the script carefully, don't play it for me, if you don't understand anything, call me and ask me if you don't understand." ”

"Well, I will"

Things went well, Chen Baoguo was in a good mood, and said: "The female number one has been decided, Zhao Wei plays Yao Mulan, and the attention in the future can be imagined to be very high, perform well, you understand what I mean." ”

Lu Yan somewhat understands Chen Baoguo's good intentions, this is paving the way for him and helping him win this role, I am afraid he also owes a lot of favors.

Although Zhao Wei is now deeply involved in the follow-up turmoil of the "Military Flag Gate" "beating incident", the position of the head of the four major flowers is still unbreakable, and the superstar of the film and television song is a popular diva joining, and the attention and exposure of the media can be imagined without a head.

He likes Zhao Wei, but it's just a simple idol's like, and he has really stayed in this circle for a long time, and this liking has slowly faded, just like Gao Hu said, the two of them are not from the same world at all.

Another reason is that I have gradually understood that this circle is not as clean as it seems, especially some young actresses always have a strange relationship with directors or producers.

When I got home, Liu Tao had activities today, but he didn't come over, so he could only do it himself, be self-reliant, and have enough food and clothing.

I stayed at home for more than half a month, and most of the time I was reading the script, and I would flip through the original book in my spare time, of course, I still checked the Oxford Dictionary.

The leg injury is basically half healed, but I am afraid of the recurrence of the old injury, and I don't dare to move vigorously, so I usually walk around the room at most and do some restorative exercises.

In the middle of the month, Lu Yan received a call from a parent, and Chen Weiye ran away!
