At 11 o'clock in the morning, Chen Lin was a guest at the apartment building of the Shanghai Theater Academy, the house of Uncle Li Youbin in the third building and three units.

Li Youbin is very happy, he is personally cooking good dishes in the kitchen at the moment, and Chen Lin is helping in the kitchen, but he is not helpful.

"Xiaolin, the carrots you cut are thick and thick, and the thin ones are thin, you still help me break the garlic."

"Hehe, Uncle Li can't imagine that you still have a hand in cooking, admire and admire."

Chen Lin has always admired men who can cook, his wife cooks at home, and he will always only cook two dishes, fried pork slices with green peppers and scrambled eggs with green peppers.

After a while, the room was filled with the aroma of food, and soon four exquisite home-cooked side dishes were on the table, garlic eggplant, cold shredded chicken, stewed pork ribs with dried beans, and chicken stewed with mushrooms.

Another bottle of Northeast Red Sorghum Wine, this day is really happy.

"Uncle Li, hurry up, I really can't help it, I have to eat first." Chen Linchong shouted at Li Youbin, who was still tidying up in the kitchen, he really couldn't help but be greedy, picked up a piece of pork ribs with chopsticks and ate it.

Wow, Uncle Li's craftsmanship is really amazing, this guy has already started eating when Li Youbin is on the table.

"Uncle Li, let's fill it, I toast you, for your craft, cheers."

"Hehe, cheers!"

Chen Lin raised his glass and Li Youbin clinked glasses, and both of them were dry in one gulp.

"Xiaolin, this chicken stewed mushroom is a special dish in the Northeast, you can try it." Li Youbin sandwiched a piece of chicken to Chen Lin, and said with a smile: "There is a saying in my hometown about this dish: 'My uncle leads me into the door, and the chicken scares away the soul', saying that when the newlywed daughter returns to the door with her husband, her mother's family basically entertains her with chicken stewed mushrooms, so when the new aunt enters the door of her mother-in-law's house, the chicken knows that her end has come, and she will be stewed with mushrooms." If you dedicate it to your new aunt as a delicacy, you have to scare your soul. ”

"Well~ the story is good, the taste is good, and it is delicious." Chen Lin nodded again and again.

The two chatted while drinking, and after three rounds of drinking, they naturally talked about "Bright Sword".

The script of "Bright Sword" has been in Li Youbin's hands for a month, and this month he has studied the script to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, and in the past two weeks, he has even turned off the drama performance, and devoted himself to pondering the roles in the play.

He likes the role of Li Yunlong too much, if Chen Lin suddenly says that he won't let him play this role now, he is guaranteed to be anxious. Maybe he will lift the table and scold his mother.

Looking at the anti-Japanese film and television dramas in China over the years, it is dull, and "Bright Sword" is definitely eye-catching, and it can be said that the play is a landmark anti-Japanese work.

In the film industry, there is a category of films that are called bail-outs, such as "Infernal Affairs" released in 2002, which was called a bailout by Hong Kong filmmakers, injecting a shot in the arm for the declining Hong Kong films and rekindling the flame of hope for Hong Kong films.

"Bright Sword" is also a work that saves the city, he saved domestic anti-Japanese dramas, rejuvenated anti-Japanese film and television dramas, and made many people like Chen Lin interested in watching domestic anti-Japanese war films again.

The reason why the show is a classic. The biggest highlight is that the characters in the play are vivid, especially the role of Li Yunlong, the head of the Independent Regiment of the Eighth Route Army, which is deeply loved by the audience.

Li Yunlong's characteristics can be summed up in three words - down-to-earth.

The screen is full of tall heroes, and the audience is tired of watching it, Li Yunlong is a little troublesome and a little gangster. The rough-speaking Northeast man immediately captured the hearts of the audience.

With such a distinctive character, how not to make Li Youbin love it, it is very rare for an actor to meet a favorite role in his life, and the deeper Li Youbin ponders the role of Li Yunlong, the more he loves it. talked endlessly to Chen Lin about his experience for more than half an hour.

Then, Chen Lin introduced the preparation of the crew, and the total investment budget of "Bright Sword" is about 25 million. 5 million yuan was also set aside for backup, and the play also received strong support from the troops, and the Guangzhou Military Region dispatched an officer and soldier from the division to cooperate with the performance.

In terms of technology, the top domestic pyrotechnic special effects team was invited to ensure the best visual effects. In addition, actors, directors, screenwriters and other personnel and equipment are being prepared in an orderly manner, and the project has been submitted to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for approval.

It is expected that all preparations can be ready at the end of the month, or January, and the machine should be ready on the 10th of January.

Originally, the "Bright Sword" project would encounter the difficulty of approval, and it was released 8 years ahead of schedule, and the biggest political problem in the play was to affirm the merits of the frontal battlefield led by the national army.

The so-called frontal battlefield is the main battlefield, such as the Battle of Songhu, the Battle of Nanjing, the Battle of Taiyuan, the Battle of Xuzhou and several other major battles. As a matter of fact, everyone knows that without the Nationalist Army holding back most of the main forces of the Japanese army on the frontal battlefield, our army's guerrilla attacks behind enemy lines would not be able to defeat the enemy.

Chen Lin had long anticipated this problem, and he found his father-in-law, Major General Yu, and the commander of the Guangzhou Military Region, Mr. Qi. After reading the script, the two of them were very supportive of him, especially the old man's support was very strong, not only assigning a tens of thousands of editors to cooperate with the performance, but also greeting the relevant departments.

Now with the support of the military, some problems are not a problem, and the military has supported the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television What else is there to say, so the approval process is very smooth.

Li Youbin was very excited after listening to Chen Lin's introduction, with an investment of more than 20 million, a first-class special effects team, and tens of thousands of younger soldiers participating in the performance, which is enough to ensure that the play is well-made.

He likes this drama too much, and he really doesn't want to ruin a good work because of a small investment.

After chatting about the script, Chen Lin talked about another important thing, that is, asking Uncle Li Youbin to join his company.

"Uncle Li, I want to ask you to join my company, have you considered it?"

"Hehe, can you not think about it? The two of you husband and wife take turns to be lobbyists, and Xiaoyu also said that if you don't agree, you will ignore me, I think it will not work if you don't agree. ”

"How can this Comrade Xiaoyu talk to you like this, I have to talk about her when I go back."

"Come on, you kid is a little soft egg in front of his wife, don't brag in front of me."

"Hehe, Uncle Li, let's not talk about this, I salute you and congratulate Comrade Li Youbin on joining the company."

Chen Lin was very happy to raise his glass and drink, and successfully invited Uncle Li Youbin to join, and Jade Emperor Entertainment finally had a palace-level actor, a national first-class actor who enjoyed the special government allowance issued by the State Council.

After a toast, Chen Lin served his uncle vegetables and poured wine. He worked hard to please him, because he still had something to ask Uncle Li for help.

"Uncle Li, I have one more thing you want to help me with."

"What's the matter?"

"You help me find a few students to play in, it's like this"

Chen Lin talked about Xu Zheng, Tong Dawei, Deng * Chao, Liu Ye, Feng Shaofeng 5 people, and briefly said his purpose. Uncle Li, an alumnus, naturally spoke better.

"I know Xu Zheng, and he will go back to school tonight to rehearse the play. I'll take you to meet him, and the other four will be easy to do, and you should be able to find them soon if you ask the school for help. ”

"Great, Uncle Li, thank you, it's much easier to do things with your help."

"Now I have to slap you, because you are the boss, and of course you have to do everything the boss tells you."

"Great, if this thing is done, I will reward the boss."

"What's the reward, is it silver?"

"There's silver, and there's - flower girl, hahaha"

“”

In the evening, under the introduction of Uncle Li Youbin, Chen Lin and Xu Zheng met.

Xu Zheng's appearance is a little cute, with a round head, hair, and luxuriant.

Chen Lin attached great importance to this meeting, not only prepared the contract text of the "1.2 billion star-making plan", but also prepared a script, which was the TV series that made Xu Zheng famous in one fell swoop - "Spring Splendid Pig Bajie".

With these two killer features, Xu Zheng was taken down in less than 20 minutes. Not only that, but in the next three days, Chen Lin effortlessly captured Tong Dawei, Deng * Chao, Liu Ye, Feng Shaofeng 4 people one by one, and his wife also came with good news, Li * Bingbing, Hai Qing, Gao Yuanyuan, Xu Jinglei 4 women did not escape the palm of his wife's hand.

So far, 10 of the 12 newcomers have been completed, and the remaining two are Huang Bo and Sun Honglei.

On the fourth day, Chen Lin went to Qingdao in a good mood, where the famous Qingdao "Boge" - Huang Bo was looking forward to waiting for his rescue.

Hahaha, Huang Bo, you bitter child, I'm here to save you from the sea of suffering. (To be continued......)
