Because Wang Zuxian wanted to rush back to the set of "The Working Emperor" to continue filming, Lu Yan and her did not have an in-depth exchange with "A Chinese Ghost Story". What's more, at least Wang Zuxian has expressed his willingness to take over this movie.

Everyone walked out of the café like this, but Lu Yan never dreamed that there was a thief outside who had taken a lot of photos when they entered the café.

"Hey, hey! Play tricks with me, you're still a little tender. Long Xiaomi touched the baby-like camera, and her face was full of satisfaction and pride.

In fact, as early as when Lu Yan went out from Dongcheng Film, Long Xiaomi had already kept up with this newcomer director who is now like Zhongtian. Obviously, his full-time job now is to follow Lu Yan. And the final result did not disappoint him, although Lu Yan was alone when he entered the café, and he went to the box.

However, he soon inquired and found out that the box was booked by a girl.

Well, everything goes without saying.

When Lu Yan took the lead out of the café, Long Xiaomi did not leave, but continued to wait. Sure enough, it didn't take long to see Wang Zuxian walking out of the box.

"Is it a girlfriend? Or is it the heroine you are looking for for a new movie? "Wang Zuxian is a newcomer who has just come to Hong Kong from Taiwan, where can Long Xiaomi recognize it at a glance. But none of that matters, because the news is in. When the time comes, the gossip girlfriend and the heroine of the new film will start hyping together, and there must be a result that is correct.

And Lu Yan, who said goodbye to Wang Zuxian here, didn't know that he had been tracked by Long Xiaomi at all. At this time, he was also happy that he had persuaded Wang Zuxian.

When he hurried back to Dongcheng Imaging to formally discuss many matters of "A Chinese Ghost Story" with Liu Weiqiang and them, he unexpectedly learned that Leslie Cheung was waiting for him in the office.

Hey! This Rong Shao is really professional enough, and he actually rushed over to sign the contract by himself.

Lu Yan entered his office in a good mood, but happened to see Leslie Cheung's sad face.

"Rong Shao, are you looking for me?" Looking at Leslie Cheung's strange expression, Lu Yan asked curiously.

Now Leslie Cheung has just finished his ten concerts, and it stands to reason that he should be in a good mood. You must know that these ten concerts are not only full, but also broke the record of the number of concerts held by Hong Kong singers. And this is his first concert, so it shouldn't be such an expression anyway.

Seeing Lu Yan coming back, Leslie Cheung got up and smiled apologetically: "Yan Zai, I think I still won't accept this movie." ”

"What?"

Lu Yan, who was in a good mood, suddenly couldn't react when he heard this. He immediately asked, "Did something happen?" Huaxing Records hopes that you will explore the music market first? Still how ......"

Lu Yan's anxious and eager expression, Leslie Cheung was even more apologetic: "No! It's just that I didn't expect this new film of yours to be a costume film. I don't like to wear weird clothes to play weird stories......"

Although Leslie Cheung's expression was full of apologies, his words were unusually resolute.

Lu Yan never imagined that Leslie Cheung would push off his new film for such reasons. He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just sat down and lit a cigarette for himself.

Seeing that Lu Yan was just sitting there and smoking, Leslie Cheung also felt that he was not in a good mood. But he didn't know how to speak, so he could only let the atmosphere freeze for the time being.

"Rong Shao, although this is a costume film, it is actually a modern story in essence. And it's not like you said, wearing weird clothes and acting weird...... In that case, I would like to inform the Working Group to get your costume out as soon as possible. When the time comes, you will see and decide what to do? Lu Yan, who had snuffed out the cigarette butt, could only get up at this time and handed over another script on the table and said, "Take it back and take a look!" This role is very suitable for you, and there is a certain aspect of your surname that can be integrated with the character...... When the time comes, you will no longer just be a singer, but also a movie star! ”

Lu Yan chose to end with such a sentence, naturally hoping to impress Leslie Cheung.

When Leslie Cheung heard this, there was obviously something more in his eyes. However, he is no longer the impulsive young Rong Shao he used to be, and after taking the script, he said that he would go back and think about it. In a few days, I will reply to Lu Yan.

After watching Leslie Cheung leave, Lu Yancai smashed his fist on his desk in annoyance.

"What the hell is going on!"

Of course, he is not angry that Leslie Cheung 'backtracks', but he doesn't understand why Leslie Cheung has such thoughts. And today's Rong Shao feels really weird to Lu Yan.

This confusion did not bother Lu Yan for too long, because Liu Weiqiang, who was not long after Leslie Cheung left, entered Lu Yan's office with a worried face. Moreover, he actually carried several newspapers, magazines and weekly magazines in his hands.

"Qiang Zai, I didn't expect you to be so gossipy!" After trying to calm down his mood, Lu Yan couldn't help but tease when he saw what Liu Weiqiang was holding in his hand.

What surprised him was that Liu Weiqiang didn't fight with himself like before. Instead, he put all the newspapers and gossip weeklies in his hand on Lu Yan's table with a helpless face, and then said with a wry smile: "If I say that I want to change the actor, you will definitely not want to." But I heard that Rong Shao came, did he refuse to star in "A Chinese Ghost Story"? ”

"How do you know?" Lu Yan was very surprised and asked, "And you said that you want me to change the actor, what do you mean?" ”

"You'll find out if you look at it." Liu Weiqiang pointed to the pile of things on Lu Yan's desk, and said with a wry smile: "The media, I really don't leave a little room for others!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Yan raised his eyes and looked at Liu Weiqiang, and immediately picked up the entertainment section of one of the newspapers and read it.

"I'll their whole family!" Lu Yan immediately glanced at it a few times, and immediately threw all those newspapers and magazines into the trash can and said: "No wonder I think Rong Shao is so strange today, are those reporters full of food!" ”

Other newspapers and magazines, Lu Yan can guess that they are similar reports without reading them. This kind of 'grave digging' thing really hurts Leslie Cheung too much.

Because Leslie Cheung is now popular in Hong Kong, the media is busy discovering his fierce information. The headlines in these newspapers were "Heroes don't ask about their origins, they are embarrassed to ask - Leslie Cheung once filmed "Spring in Red Mansions"; The first time he was "sold piglets", he was talking about this movie that no one remembered for a long time - "Spring in Red Mansions".

This movie was filmed by Leslie Cheung, who was not happy in the entertainment industry at the time, because of his "good salary", because he had not read the script beforehand. Later, I learned that it was too late to regret its clumsiness and was forced to put it on the shelves.

Now these media are using this matter to hype up and increase sales, and even some reporters even shamelessly interview Leslie Cheung. also directly led to Leslie Cheung's deeper dislike for the media, as well as his disgust and disgust for costume movies.

Lu Yan's indignant attitude was obviously expected by Liu Weiqiang. But now he is also quite helpless and said: "It's not that I'm not optimistic about Rong Shao, it's just that this kind of thing happened too unexpectedly." Even if he is willing to take over the filming, it will be a big blow to "A Chinese Ghost Story". After all, now that he is taking over costume films, it is tantamount to negative accumulation...... Besides, you said it too. Rong Shao came to push the play just now, so it's better to choose another actor! ”

"No! In this movie, my ideal actor is Leslie Cheung. And the heroine is Wang Zuxian. She will come to audition in the next two days, you urge Tim Yip. Let him hurry up and get out the costumes of the male and female protagonists first, and be sure to do what I requested! Rong Shao is there, I will talk about it again in person. Lu Yan didn't think about it, so he rejected Liu Weiqiang's suggestion. The occurrence of such a thing strengthened Lu Yan's confidence in choosing Leslie Cheung to star in "A Chinese Ghost Story".

This is not just to help Leslie Cheung become a movie star and make "A Chinese Ghost Story" more classic. It is also to help Leslie Cheung overcome his demons, otherwise he will not take on costume films for a long time in the future.

"Don't call me stubborn, the male and female protagonists in my script are written in their image. And this matter will definitely not be one-sided, these are small newspapers, gossip weeklies. The mainstream media will definitely come out to speak, Leslie Cheung didn't know it was a 'Fengyue film' when he took over the filming of this movie......"

Listening to Lu Yanzhen's words, Liu Weiqiang followed with a smile and said, "Okay! You don't have to be so excited and indignant, as you said, these lace newspapers just like to use these things to attract people's attention. What's more, the actor we set at the beginning is almost like this. You don't need outstanding acting skills, but you must be idols. Leslie Cheung and Wang Zuxian are obviously compatible, I hope they can match each other when they play against each other! ”

"Yes!" Lu Yan nodded and advised: "I have already negotiated with Wang Zuxian, and you can contact the Shao Brothers during this time." As long as it is less than one million, buy Wang Zuxian's contract for me. ”

"It's not that expensive! If it were a million, she would have quadrupled. Liu Weiqiang now knows almost everything about Wang Zuxian. Fang Yihua bought her and the Gundam contract for 250,000 yuan, and he was already clear. So hearing Lu Yan say one million really scared him.

"I'll set a maximum price, you have to find a way to save money for our Dongcheng Image! Now that the 30 million yuan of the Taiwanese film company has been called, we have to hold it tighter in our pockets. ”

"It's tighter, you have to buy the whole person for a film......" Liu Weiqiang rolled his eyes and said speechlessly.

"Haha! It's called long-term investing, and you'll get to know later. I also have to think about it, I have to fool Leslie Cheung back. After figuring out what happened, Lu Yan was completely relaxed. Now that he knows the reason, he still has a lot of confidence in persuading Leslie Cheung.
