Chapter 20 The Visitation of a Beautiful Woman
"Brother Chao, why are you putting so many instruments, are you going to form a band?"
Meng Chao's low-rent house in Huaxia Film and Television City Guan Zhilin has been here, so she is also the most comfortable among the three girls at this moment, and even has a kind of hostess posture, beckoning the other two girls to sit on the sofa, and asked Meng Chao again.
Guan Zhilin naturally knew that Meng Chao was a professional singer, and he had performed in various song halls and bars in Yanjing, but later because of bad circumstances, he couldn't make a name for himself in the music world, so he began to play tricks, gradually became a professional actor, and then began to make movies after earning the first pot of gold.
"If you have nothing to do, write a new song, and I'll get you a drink."
At this time, Meng Chao was about to stand up and walk to the refrigerator, but Li Lizhen stood up first and said, "Brother Chao, let me help you get it." ā
Meng Chao nodded: "It's okay." ā
He couldn't see that these two girls were a little jealous, but they were still able to stop at the point, so Meng Chao didn't break it, and it was good to maintain such a state.
Li Lizhen ran to get a drink, and Guan Zhilin began to happily pull Meng Chao and said, "Brother Chao, do you know? The test screening of our movie "Happy Ghost" has been very good, and it has now been released in many cinemas under the Shuangbei Cinema Line, and I heard that another state-owned cinema company, Great Wall, also plans to release our movie......"
Guan Zhilin said very excitedly, and was very happy for Meng Chao's achievements, to be honest, today's film market is so sluggish, Meng Chao is a newcomer in the film industry, and the first film can have such results, which is already quite potential, and has also received the attention of many bigwigs in the film industry!
However, Meng Chao felt that it was far from enough: "There are too many movie theaters for release, but unfortunately the number of screenings and film schedules are still not good, right?" In the end, we are not famous, and no matter how big the support is, it is not our turn to get it, in fact, I think that with the innovation of our film and the characteristics of the masses, we can get better support, but it is still far from enough! ā
Guan Zhilin continued: "Brother Chao, I can't say that, at least this movie has made many senior filmmakers in the circle notice you, I heard my dad give you a thumbs up, although this movie is not as sensational as you think, but it has come out of the beautiful first part, if you make a movie in the future, I believe the results will get better and better, this is only the fifth day I heard that the box office has been nearly one million!" ā
Li Lizhen, who came over with a drink, saw Guan Zhilin talking boastfully next to Meng Chao, looking very familiar with movies, which couldn't help but make her feel inferior.
Guan Zhilin can be said to be from a family of actors, but Li Lizhen's family is so ordinary that it can't be more ordinary, which is why she has a strong sense of vanity about entering the entertainment industry, because she doesn't understand, so she feels that becoming a star is extremely shiny and powerful.
And she has just become an actor, and she is also the second female lead, and her appearance is not as shocking as Guan Zhilin, and she always feels that she is far worse than Guan Zhilin, and she is far from being worthy of Meng Chao.
Of course, Meng Chao, who is still thinking here, didn't notice the change in Li Lizhen's love, the box office of one million in five days has at least proved that this movie will not lose money, and now it seems that the growth frequency of the box office is no worse than other films under the three major state-owned cinema companies, so whether it is Shuangbei Cinema or Great Wall Cinema, today's resources will be more inclined to Meng Chao, even if it is not preferential treatment than other satellite film companies, at least I dare not ignore "Happy Ghost" anymore.
Meng Chao figured it out and said: "Jiahui, you have a certain truth, the road always needs to be walked step by step, but I think I can speed it up!" ā
Hearing his words, Li Lizhen couldn't help asking, "Brother Chao, your development speed is not fast enough?" I heard Director Gao say that the film market is not good now, and it is already a miracle to be able to just set up a film company like Brother Chao and make money in the first movie, but Brother Chao, you are so powerful, you can write a song in a few minutes in the crew, and you are naturally a man who specializes in creating miracles! ā
Li Lizhen's words are somewhat flattering, but they are really from the heart!
Young and golden, and talented, and very handsome, such a man is naturally the perfect man in the minds of many women, and Meng Chao is even more perfect in Li Lizhen's opinion, which makes her feel difficult to touch.
At this time, Guan Zhilin couldn't help asking: "Brother Chao, how are you going to accelerate your development?" ā
Meng Chao said slowly: "I think the reason why Shuangbei Cinema Line can't give greater support is mainly because our entire crew doesn't have big names that can be used, including the three of us, so the lack of enough fame is the biggest reason why our films can't get better resources, in order to quickly gain enough fame, I have signed up for CCTV's Youth Innovation Competition!" ā
Hearing this, Li Lizhen couldn't help but be extremely excited: "Brother Chao, are you talking about CCTV's annual talent show this year, the Young Singer-Songwriter Competition?" ā
Meng Chao nodded in affirmation, Li Lizhen looked at Meng Chao with stars in her eyes at this time: "I have been very concerned about that competition since the beginning of the selection, although I want to participate in it, but unfortunately although I like music, my singing level is limited, and they require me to have my own original songs, so I dare not think about it, but Brother Chao, you are so talented, this competition is simply tailor-made, and now I finally understand what you mean by accelerating development." ā
Speaking of this, Guan Zhilin took the lead and said: "Participating in the Youth Innovation Competition, increasing fame, and making the leaders of state-run cinemas pay more attention to our films, this is indeed a way to accelerate development." ā
Both of them expressed their support for Meng Chao to participate in the Youth Innovation Competition, and even had the intention of going to the scene to help Meng Chao as a fan group, Meng Chao naturally did not refuse their kindness, and let these two peerless beauties show their faces on TV together, which can attract some members of the appearance association who like to look at their faces to enter the cinema to watch "Happy Ghost", which is simply beneficial and harmless!
"Brother Chao, you just said that you were writing a new song, why don't you sing it to us now." Li Lizhen also mentioned yƬ at this time.
At this point, Guan Zhilin immediately reconsidered: "Yes, let's be the first audience of your new song." ā
At this time, Li Xuexin, who hadn't spoken much since she entered the door, suddenly said excitedly: "Producer Meng, you can sing a song for everyone, can I be your accompanist?" ā
