Chapter 532: Blank Invitation
Chapter 532: Blank Invitation
"Tsk, rich man......"
Pei Yueyue gently shook the two gilded blank invitations in her hand, and sighed with mixed emotions. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Chenxing sat next to her by the window. The plane was still waiting to take off, and the small window could see the buses and busy cargo lifts coming and going from the airport.
A few minutes ago, the flight attendant suddenly took these two invitations to Chenxing, saying that they were sent by a guest in the first class, and if you don't need it, you don't have to return it, you can just throw it in the trash can.
With a woman's intuition, Pei Yueyue thought that if she was not mistaken, the woman who sent the invitation should be the rich lady who looked at them several times in front of the waiting lounge. The fine lines at the corners of the other party's eyes are extremely finely maintained, like the precision stitches sewn by an embroidery master. When Chenxing boarded the plane with herself, Pei Yueyue also saw the woman standing in the empty VIP aisle, staring at Chenxing gracefully, as if looking at some interesting object, and that gaze made Pei Yueyue very uncomfortable.
First-class customers have some extra privileges when flying on the plane, with an exclusive lounge and a dedicated VPI lane even when boarding, so you don't have to crowd the common aisle with economy class passengers. Pei Yueyue originally wanted to book first class for Chenxing, and she took economy class, but the first class of this flight had been booked, and when Pei Yueyue asked Chenxing if he wanted to change to the next flight, Chenxing shook his head indifferently, and specially instructed that if there are no special circumstances in the future, just book a seat on the plane and book economy class. Pei Yueyue thought that Chenxing just didn't want to spend more money. Now that I think about it, if I book a first-class cabin, Chenxing will have to sit all the way with this rich wife who is uncomfortable at first glance, and I can't see anyone who looks up and looks down, how embarrassing it is. Fortunately, I listened to Chenxing's words and changed to economy class. Pei Yueyue was happy, and thought that Chenxing should have often taken first class in the past, he was so famous at that time, and many rich people in first class he met probably knew him, I don't know if he had ever met a few annoying guys. This thought only swirled in her heart, and she knew that this was not a pleasant topic, so she wouldn't ask Chenxing such a question.
Pei Yueyue offered to let Chenxing sit by the window, and she sat next to him, eliminating most of the other people's eyes. Fastening her seatbelt in the position, Pei Yueyue took advantage of the fact that there was still some time to open the webpage and search for the keyword "Chenxing", and sure enough, as Gu Lian expected, he was basically counted in the hot spots on Weibo and various websites. Not to mention anything else, it's Chenxing's post bar, and it's suddenly many times more lively than usual, and the number of posts has soared to tens of thousands, seeing that there is still a momentum of rising, and even the posts of all kinds of small advertisements ******** have increased dozens of times. After hurriedly browsing the hot news about Chenxing,Pei Yueyue was busy deleting those advertising posts,While deleting, look at the various new theme posts posted by the post bar,Many posts are about last night's program,A lot of speeches are because I liked Chenxing after watching the show。 Pei Yueyue couldn't help but feel proud in her heart, as if those who said they liked Chenxing liked herself. She kept her hands on her hands, and an unconscious smile appeared on her face, not even realizing that she was laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Chenxing's voice suddenly sounded.
"Huh? Am I laughing? Pei Yueyue looked up and said in surprise.
"......" you've been strangely "hehehe" for a while. It will be embarrassing for the other party to explain it specifically. Chenxing silently turned his head and calmly said "um".
It was at this time that a tall and beautiful stewardess came over with an extremely sweet and polite professional smile and handed over the two invitations.
Since the other party said that if you don't want to accept it, you can throw it away, Kan Chenxing has no intention of resisting, Pei Yueyue still accepted this thing in line with the principle of not offending people easily, and she couldn't bear to embarrass the beautiful flight attendant because of such a trivial matter.
"Wanshang Club Shanghai Club's Private Watch Appreciation Meeting?" Pei Yueyue looked at the theme on the invitation, she was confused, she had never heard of any Wanshang Club. Listening to the flight attendant's relay, Chenxing can fill in any name he wants to fill in these two invitations and bring someone over. As long as you have an invitation, you can enter the site of this appreciation meeting. Although I don't know what it means, it sounds like this club has a lot of activities and is very high. Look at the time of the event, it is seven o'clock in the evening next Friday, and Shanghai Satellite TV has not yet notified when the "Youth Cool Flying" column will be recorded next week, and Chenxing may not have time to go. After thinking about it, Pei Yueyue decided to put away the invitation first, and then ask her what the situation was when Gu Lian came back, and whether Chenxing needed to go to the scene.
"Give it to Gu Lian, she may be useful." Chenxing also saw through Pei Yueyue's thoughts, and said lightly.
As soon as these words came out, Pei Yueyue knew that Chenxing would definitely not go. Thinking of the rich lady's expression, she felt that Chenxing's decision was extremely correct. So even though she knew that the other party wouldn't see it, Pei Yueyue waved the invitation a few times in the direction of the first-class cabin, and then put it in her handbag casually.
The flight attendant walks around the cabin to remind passengers that the plane is about to take off, and asks all personnel to turn off their mobile phones. Pei Yueyue lowered her head and wanted to shut down the phone, but when she saw the webpage she had opened earlier, she suddenly understood. The rich woman who sent the invitation letter probably noticed him after watching last night's TV program on Shanghai Satellite TV. She quietly looked up and noticed that several passengers were looking at Chenxing, intentionally or unintentionally, as if they were secretly guessing his identity.
The influence of Shangxing TV's variety show is really extraordinary. Pei Yueyue thought with a sigh, and then glanced at Chenxing, and the joy in her heart dissipated a little.
This kind of attention that can be easily recognized in private time is certainly not what Chenxing wants, but it is unavoidable. The freedom to enjoy all kinds of personal time does not bode well for artists. The more popular an artist is, the more difficult it is to have his own space, which is a contradictory attribute unique to artists.
*********************************************
Gu Lian and Li Chunnian's trip to Nanjing, as expected, cannot be said to be too smooth, nor can it be said that it was not smooth.
At the dinner table, Li Chunnian was naturally extremely enthusiastic about the leaders and producers of Sujing Satellite TV, Xu Hang, and even a little flattering, except for being deliberate, there was nothing wrong with this response, it was okay to adjust the atmosphere, and the two leaders were still very useful. After all, Li Chunnian is a male star, and on occasions like the dinner table, female artists can occupy more natural advantages, which is easier for male guests to accept naturally. It's not bad if Li Chunnian doesn't do it, Gu Lian won't be too demanding of him. However, Xu Hang has no expression, and a pair of eyes on his stereotypical old face flashed from time to time, neither high-profile nor low-key, only inserting a few words at the appropriate time, so that Li Chunnian's enthusiasm would not make the leader feel too abrupt.
Sure enough, it's cunning. Gu Lian commented on Xu Hang more firmly in his heart.
During the banquet, there was a leader who seemed to be higher than others, Xu Hang introduced that it was the deputy director of Sujing Satellite TV, who was directly in charge of the self-made drama project, with the same surname as himself, and it was a family five hundred years ago. Gu Lian understands that the so-called co-ordination mainly refers to financial supervision. Xu Hang has a good relationship with this person, and it will naturally be much easier to apply for and withdraw various funds when he starts filming in the future. This deputy director Xu looked at Li Chunnian and seemed to be pleasing to the eye, looking very realistic, and said a lot about the difficulties of the current Sujing Satellite TV's self-made dramas in a frank manner, including the various twists and turns of the male protagonist's finalization, the implication is that he can't call the shots on the selection of the male lead, he can only give advice to the station, and the current leaders who have the right to decide in the station are more interested in Wei Wenhong, and it is difficult to reverse the situation. After finishing speaking, he changed his words, and said that the ranking of the male protagonist could not be moved, and the specific people in charge of the filming project were himself and Xu Hang, and it was normal to fine-tune the script and actors' lines during the filming process, and the final effect came out, and it was not impossible for the two male protagonists to come out. No matter how much the leader has the right to decide, he can't always keep an eye on the big group of subordinates below to do everything.
has said all this, Gu Lian immediately understood that regarding the issue of the male protagonist of this self-made drama, Su Jing Satellite TV is likely to compromise with each other when there are disagreements. If Li Chunnian wants to snatch Wei Wenhong's male lead, it is generally unlikely, but Taili can consider making him the second male lead. Deputy Director Xu's words imply that Li Chunnian has nothing to lose by playing the second male, and the role will not be less than the actual male lead? Xu Hang wants to secretly Chen Cang, since he can't twist Wei Wenhong's agent Ren Liang's thigh, he plans to give in on the surface for the time being, regardless of Wei Wenhong, and support an actual male protagonist by himself?
Under Gu Lian's signal, Li Chunnian quickly understood, and quietly expressed his optimism about Sujing Satellite TV's self-made drama, and said a few words that he was not looking forward to cooperation, but he didn't agree or didn't agree. The other party also understood that he meant to consider it.
In the case that both parties are very interested, a meal is naturally eaten and talked happily. After the meal, Xu Hang politely asked Li Chunnian and Gu Lian if they wanted to stay in Nanjing, and he would send someone to receive them. Gu Lian said that the two of them had something to do and wanted to go back to Shanghai immediately, so Xu Hang sent them a car to take them to the airport. The polite etiquette is full and beyond reproach.
"I thought I was here to talk about the male protagonist of the self-made drama, but I was actually asked to be the second male lead." Sitting in the car sent by Xu Hang to pick up and drop off, because the driver was present, Li Chunnian's complaining tone was not too explicit.
"Deputy Director Xu said that it is not easy to change the male lead. I think Wei Wenhong is almost set. can't win the male lead, Producer Xu wants to retreat to the second, at least let his favorite role fight for the second male lead, this is no way. Gu Lian looked out the window and said calmly.
The car drove on an old street in Gulou District, and the trees on both sides were still as tall and burly as when he first came to Nanjing many years ago to study at university, and the greenery was clear, intuitively showing the ineffable meaning of the ancient capital of Jinling. At the same time, small construction sites for road renovation in the city of Nanjing are still everywhere.
"If I can tell them that I will finally be the double male protagonist with Wei Wenhong, ranking behind him, it seems acceptable. Moreover, the actress who plays the rival role is Mo Wanlin, and the grade is quite high. Li Chunnian blinked, followed Gu Lian's gaze to look out the window, and said with some emotion.
"If Xu Hang's promise can be taken seriously, this matter is naturally worth considering. However, no matter what, you have to ask Sister S's opinion on this matter first, since your debut, you have not been a second male person, she may not be willing to give up. Gu Lian said this, but he thought in his heart, although Li Chunnian has never been the second male protagonist in these years, the dramas filmed by the male protagonist are nothing more than ancient puppets and occasional scenes, most of them are Xia Yi's own plays, it is rare to have a few male protagonists in foreign dramas, and the quality of the dramas is not as good as Xia Yi's own filming. Su Jing Satellite TV's self-made drama shows that it is not those reluctant grass platform teams, and the publicity investment and broadcast platform are guaranteed, with Li Chunnian's small fame in idol dramas, if it weren't for Mo Wanlin's intention to promote and Xu Hang's prejudice against non-mainland students and discord with Ren Liang, this male lead candidate would not be Li Chunnian's turn at all. Under normal circumstances, even if the ranking and role are the second male, Gu Lian also feels that Li Chunnian has nothing to suffer if he takes this play. It's just that not picking up the male second is a kind of insistence that Sister S has insisted on Li Chunnian's taking over the drama over the years, this approach is not without benefits, at least it makes Li Chunnian's TV drama remuneration offer a little high, and when the film and television market was good in the first two years, it also frightened many investors who invested in the TV drama industry for the first time, and got a lot of remuneration.
"Oh, Sister S is more troublesome." Li Chunnian scratched his head and said with some annoyance. He didn't bother for long, and soon left it behind. It's hard for him to worry about this kind of thing, even if he doesn't film this scene, it's a pity for him, and it's not that there is no filming anyway.
If it weren't for this casual personality, I wouldn't have been able to stay honest under the harsh Sister S. This kind of person is a person with a very low risk factor in the entertainment industry, he doesn't have much ideas, he has to get by, and he is not worth taking care of as an opponent who wants to get rid of him in his career. It's a pity that Gu Lian wanted to trap Li Chunnian, not for the sake of his career, he touched the bottom line that Gu Lian couldn't forgive.
"Hey, Nandu University? Sister Gu, is this the university you used to study? Li Chunnian looked at the group of old buildings outside the car window and said to Gu Lian.
The car is passing by the old campus of Nandu University, the most well-known first-class university in Jiangsu Province, which is also Gu Lian's alma mater. Nandu University is one of the best in the province, although it is not as good as Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan and the like, it also belongs to the national "211 Project" to support the university, the history of the school has been more than 100 years, there are many old buildings of the last century in the old campus, flowers and trees are sparse, the white walls and black tiles under the red shadow and green are very elegant, full of antiquity, and the fragrance of books is faint.
"It looks good, like a university where people who are good at studying will go to college." Li Chunnian, who had never studied in a serious university, looked envious.
Gu Lian silently watched the once familiar but now sudden campus scenery pass in front of him, and did not speak. For this, she is not like other students who have already graduated, who always have a little nostalgic youthful thoughts. Her college memories are half bright and brilliant, and half miserable. After becoming Tianjiao's agent, Gu Lian also came to Nanjing several times, not in such a hurry every time, but Gu Lian never thought of going to the school to see, and even had no enthusiasm for reliving memories of this city. Also, when a city hurts more than it is happy in its memory, no one will be happy to reminisce from time to time, at least if they are not willing to take care of it.
