Chapter 52: Return to Hengdian

As Lin Xingchen guessed, the attention ignited by the winter vacation of 'Love Apartment' ended with the end of the Spring Festival. Even though there are many people on the Internet who are urging the start of filming of the second season, Lin Xingchen knows that it will take a while.

A trickle of water is the last word, isn't it short-sighted to launch this signature TV series at one time?

Lin Xingchen, who enjoyed a rare Spring Festival holiday and returned to Mingzhu, quickly started the 'latent' shooting plan. And this plan, in fact, was already being prepared last year.

This is the most important shooting plan of Xingchen Film and Television this year, and the investment scale is as high as 20 million. It can be said that compared to the 'love apartment', it is a tenfold investment. Lin Xingchen can't be cautious at all!

Even if this drama is a cooperation with Xinbao Film and Television. Kelin Xingchen also only gave Xinbao an investment of 5 million, and the remaining 15 million was funded by Xingchen Film and Television. This is also a big investment in filming a TV series!

Back in the company, the first meeting revolved around lurking. The work of the actors and directors was also implemented very quickly. The production team led by Lu Xiaojun went to Hengdian as the vanguard team to contact the filming matters.

In order to ensure the success of this TV series as much as possible, the two main male and female protagonists in the play, Lin Xingchen still chose Sun Honglei to play Yu Zecheng, and let Song Jia play Wang Cuiping, which can be regarded as a different role.

But Lin Xingchen believes that Song Jia can play this role well. Even in Lin Xingchen's opinion, Song Jia has the fierce and pungent character of Wang Cuiping. Her partner with Sun Honglei should not be wrong.

The second is the choice of the supporting roles in the play, Zuo Lan, who has the most roles with Yu Zecheng, and Lin Xingchen also found Shen Aojun, who graduated from the play, to play. In the face of his senior sister's invitation, Shen Aojun also accepted the invitation very happily.

Some of the important characters in other dramas are basically fine. was cooperated by Lin Xingchen and Zhao Baogang, and they were all invited in place. Only on 'Li Ya', who plays Yu Zecheng's opponent, Lin Xingchen has not yet found a suitable partner.

After discussing with Zhao Jun, Zhao Jun said very seriously: "Xingchen, I think you can play this role." You will be the screenwriter and producer of this drama. I think you need to spend more time on the crew.

This is the first time that the company has invested in the filming of such a big TV series, even if Xinbao has sent a lot of people over, but we also need someone to press the formation. If you don't go over, the others are just afraid that they won't be able to hold the scene.

In addition, Director Liao this time was also introduced by Director Zhao. Even if I am the assistant director of the crew, but you should know. If I have an opinion with him, I can't hold it down at all! ”

Last year, Zhao Jun, who was the assistant director of the crew of 'Who Calls the Shots of My Youth', was already very clear about his shortcomings in the big battle. This TV drama shooting. There's more to it than that, and he's definitely not going to be able to hold it there.

Hearing Zhao Jun's construction, Lin Xin also said: "Xingchen, I think Zhao Jun's words make sense. On the company's side, I'll watch it for you, and there won't be any problems. When you arrive, you will definitely have to stay in Hengdian often.

This is our cooperation with Xinbao, but this time it is mainly us. If you don't go over. I'm afraid that the two sides really can't adjust. After all, you wear many hats. If you want to get out, I'm afraid it's unlikely! ”

The words of the two made Lin Xingchen think for a while, and finally said: "Okay, then I will play the role of Li Ya." It's just that in this way, the company will ask the sister-in-law to take care of it more. ”

'Don't worry! Years ago, the company recruited a lot of elites, which cost a lot of wages. They have to show some strength to prove their worth! With their help, the company will definitely not be able to mess up. ’

With the words of the two of them, Lin Xingchen also felt that his plan for this year would have to be revised. First of all, it is a matter of academics. There will definitely be delays. After all, he needs to shoot with the group!

In addition, the girl who played 'Mu Wanqiu' in the play, Lin Xingchen finally thought about it and chose to let Li Jingming play this role. originally wanted to find Zhao Siji, but she didn't seem to have much interest in this role.

To be precise, Zhao Siji, who came back from winter vacation, seems to have really changed a lot. Her current interest is more in the mind of traveling the world. This seems to be a bit similar to Lin Wanyu in the 'Love Apartment'.

At present, the company has signed a contract with Li Jingming and Lou Yixiao, with a prospective boss lady who is not an artist. The only suitable candidate in the end is Li Jingming. This can be regarded as giving some extra care to the company's artists.

As for Wang Chuanjun and others, they also have shooting tasks in the company, and the online short film will continue. After all, after they became famous, the number of clicks on the online short film starring them was still very gratifying!

If you have money, you don't make money, and Lin Xingchen is not stupid. And Lin Xingchen also asked Lin Xin to watch and take on some TV series roles, so that they would have more opportunities to act. Even if Zhou Xiaoou and Lin Xingchen's arrangement for him is also the diversified development of film and television songs.

After the matter was arranged, Lin Xingchen deliberately went to find Long Jun.

Regarding Lin Xingchen's leave, Long Jun also smiled and said, "Okay, you are also a junior." People who are seniors in the second half of the year should really spend more energy on work. However, I also hope that you can grasp the academic matters!

In addition, there are several graduate student application places in the Department of Literature, so I don't know if you are interested. If so, I'll give you your name then. A diploma doesn't say much, but it also boosts your image. ”

Hearing Long Jun's words, Lin Xingchen thought for a while and said, "Yes!" It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to pass it then! ”

'Don't worry, graduate students in the School of Art, it's not as difficult as you think. With the strength of your current major courses, graduate students should be able to pass the exam smoothly. As for the academy, I also see your potential in acting, and I hope to keep you in the academy for a few more years! ’

This is not bad, in terms of drama, after Lin Xingchen established Xingchen Film and Television, the fame of the drama has indeed increased a lot. In particular, the "Love Apartment" is full of actors in the opera, which has increased the fame of the drama a lot.

The most important thing is that after having Xingchen Film and Television, many graduates in school have the opportunity to enter the drama with strength. Such an opportunity still needs to be arranged in the past. But now, it's almost not needed.

Just filming 'Love Apartment', many students from the acting department and other departments have found opportunities to enter the drama. And this time Lin Xingchen filmed 'Latent'. It also gives the college a lot of places for strong students.

Having these places is undoubtedly the best explanation for students for the college. It can allow students to get more opportunities before graduation, and it will also help them to engage in related majors after graduation in the future!

For Lin Xingchen, this is also something that benefits both parties. How could he refuse? What's more, with the support of the leaders of the play, he can also get a lot of help in some things!

No matter what, Shangju's reputation in art schools is still good. There are also bigwigs in the film and television industry, and they will give some face to the leaders of the drama. Sometimes, a phone call can save you a lot of trouble!

Leaning against the big tree is good for enjoying the shade, this is Lin Xingchen's understanding of the college.

As for the second season of 'Love Apartment', Lin Xingchen is scheduled to shoot in the second half of the year. That's it. This year's shooting schedule is almost there. After all, two dramas a year are already rare for Xingchen Film and Television!

After arranging the company's affairs, Lin Xingchen also officially notified all the invited actors to gather in Hengdian. And some of the main actors, Lin Xingchen called in person, which can be regarded as giving respect to these people.

Lu Xiaojun, who rushed to Hengdian in advance. The filming of the crew has been completed. In this kind of thing, Lu Xiaojun is also much more handy. And last year he got a bonus. It also made his father happy.

No matter what, this is also the first pot of gold in Lu Xiaojun's life, whether it is Lu Xiaojun himself or his parents, they have reason to be happy for him. Not to mention, the rental plan of the love apartment also benefited Lu Xinming a lot.

Take this shoot, for example. Lu Xinming is also eager to invest. It's a pity that he knows that Lin Xingchen has no shortage of funds in his hands. Therefore, what he can do is to let Lu Xiaojun establish a good personal relationship with Lin Xingchen.

Lu Xinming's accumulation of current wealth can be said to have worked hard all his life. And Lin Xingchen has his current net worth. It only took two or three years. This speed of making money is no different from robbing money in Lu Xinming's view.

And he didn't know that Lin Xingchen, who was completely in charge of Lin Xin's company affairs. He also gave 50 million yuan to Xu Maocai to invest in overseas stock markets. Some of the international stock market in 08, Lin Xingchen still knows more or less!

In Lin Xingchen's opinion, since he has accumulated the first pot of gold, he naturally wants to make a little more. These days, no one will be afraid of lack of money. What's more, if you want to shoot some blockbusters in the future, lack of funds is also a problem.

In particular, he began to consider that Xu Maocai would take care of his wealth for him to invest. These investments include stocks, real estate, and so on. There is only one purpose, and the career will be stable when walking on multiple legs.

At least for this year, he doesn't have to worry about a shortage of funds. Even if 50 million is withdrawn at once, the company's monthly income can also make the company make a lot of profits every month. So, making an investment is the best option.

Using money to make money is the most profitable way, this is Lin Xingchen's consciousness. And Xu Maocai is also very interested in Lin Xingchen and letting him serve as the general manager of the investment company.

Even took out the remaining 10 million to buy a house, and then invested it in the investment company, hoping to become a shareholder of the company. In this regard, Lin Xingchen naturally would not refuse. As long as he has a controlling stake, he really doesn't have to worry about anything!

Professional things are the smartest things to be operated by professional people.

After taking care of Mingzhu's affairs, Lin Xingchen found an opportunity to get together with Zhao Siji and Jiang Shuying for a few days, and then took Zhao Jun and the remaining staff to Hengdian. For this Oriental Film and Television City, Lin Xingchen came for the first time after being reborn.

Compared with his previous life, he came here as a horizontal drifter, but in this life, he is a crew producer. This change in identity is naturally huge. And he also wanted to know if there was any difference between Hengdian in this life and in the previous life.

Are the young people who served as the drifters with him still there? Those girls who were in Hengdian back then, are they still there now? These are all worth exploring one by one!

It's just that Lin Xingchen knows that his current identity is different from his previous life. Those old acquaintances from the past life, even if they encounter them again in this life, I am afraid that they will not have much communication. After all, the gap between them is actually huge!

What he can do may be to give those people more opportunities. It's a pity that when he left Hengdian that year, some friends who had really treated him did some things that disappointed him.

As for the girl who gave him love trauma back then, after having Zhao Siji and them in this life, Lin Xingchen asked himself if he would have any more entanglements with them. It's not that he's cold-blooded and ruthless, but that those loves don't make him feel very good.

There is love to drink water, and he used to think like that. But every time in the end, he found that love was no match for material things in the end. The reason is very simple, people have to live, people have to face many realities, but also have to face many temptations.

No matter how determined a person is, if he refines in the furnace of Hengdian for a period of time, he will be sharpened off the edges and corners, knowing that if he wants to get the opportunity, he must pay something. And some dedication often means a complete loss of self and principle!

Arriving in Hengdian and looking at the familiar scene, Lin Xingchen looked very emotional. In his previous life, he came to Hengdian, and at first he rented a house to live, and later even lived in a boarding house. For a while, it was so miserable that I could only sleep in the gazebo outside for the night.

Such people are not uncommon in Hengdian. Many young people who chase their dreams, only after they have suffered the blow of reality, will they know how cruel the reality is and how naΓ―ve their dreams are.

became a group performer, was suddenly appreciated by the director, and became a well-known actor, and since then the things that have been in the film and television industry have only existed in the novel. In reality, the possibility of such a is almost zero!

After checking into the hotel, Lin Xingchen first went to see the filming set. For the Republic of China Street in front of him, Lin Xingchen's memory couldn't be clearer. Once upon a time, he played the role of N passerby A on this street.

Wearing the costumes of the people of the Republic of China and walking on the street several times, this is the work of the group performance. And after each scene is filmed, they can get hundreds of yuan, and only a few dozen yuan. To eat and drink, you have to pay for yourself, this is the life of a group performer.

But even so, the group performance foreman who introduced them still needs to take a cut of their income. If they don't pay a commission, they won't be able to settle their wages at all. Therefore, it is these group leaders who really make money.

Memories like this filled Lin Xingchen's mind, and after Lin Xingchen came to Hengdian, he was also in a mood of ups and downs. I feel that this situation and this scene have given him too many feelings.

And this time when he came to Hengdian, he also hugged him and became the focus of everyone. Those tourists and odd job performers all looked at him with envy and awe, and in his previous life he was one of the kind of people who watched!

Maybe life is so impermanent, whether in the past life or in this life, he is only afraid of the same constant relationship with this film and television city. After all, Hengdian is the largest film and television city in China, how many actors in China have never been here to film? (To be continued......)
