Chapter 899: A New Beginning
Lin Zichen really wanted to excuse himself, but Lan Luoshi didn't give him a chance, and hung up the phone after a few more reassuring words.
Lin Zichen shook his head helplessly: "It's okay to take Tang Meiru, but you still have to keep an eye on the project, the key is to ...... with Long Aoxue."
Sighing, Lin Zichen said: "Huo Qing, Luo Shi's friend will come over in a while, you go and pick up the plane, and I will send you the flight number in a while." ”
"Yes, Master," Huo Qing smiled, approached Lin Zichen, and said, "Hehe, Master, Master's friend...... Female? ”
Lin Zichen glanced at him: "Yes, it's still a beauty, it's an actress in our new play." ”
"Celebrities?"
"Hehe, it's okay, Tang Meiru, do you remember?" Lin Zichen said.
Huo Qing thought for a while: "Remember, I saw it when I was in Yanjing, and we want her to play in our new play?" ”
Lin Zichen nodded: "Yes, speaking of which, although Tang Meiru is a third-tier actor, her quality is still okay, this time she is a friend, after all, she is Luo Shi's friend." ”
"Understood, Master."
As he spoke, Lin Zichen's mobile phone also rang, it was Lan Luoshi who sent Tang Meiru's flight number, Lin Zichen explained, and Huo Qing went out.
Subsequently, the project called and said that the director of the play had arrived and wanted the project leaders on both sides to take a look together.
Lin Zichen's head grew when he heard this, and he didn't know that it would be so soon, but Lan Luoshi was not there, so he could only go, so he asked someone to arrange it in the company's large conference room.
Lin Zichen took Hei Yu to the conference room and waited for a while, and several people walked in, and the first one walking in front was a man wearing a director's vest and a baseball cap, which seemed to be the director Lei Yunjiang was looking for.
"Oh, you're Chairman Lin?" The director said, stretched out his hand and walked forward, and took the initiative to shake hands with Lin Zichen, "I was introduced by Mr. Lei, and my name is Wang Kang." ”
Wang Kang, who is a famous director of the top three on Hong Kong Island, was the first to make horror and ghost movies, and it can be said that he became popular all over the country in the 90s, and in recent years, he has also transformed into some emotional dramas and suspenseful reasoning, and he has become a lot more popular.
Generally speaking, these directors are more domineering, but there is an exception, that is, to investors, and Lin Zichen's role is of course an investor.
As the producer of this drama, Lin Pictures is signed by Lan Luoshi, but Lei Yunjiang must have told Wang Kang that Lin Zichen is the real boss behind the scenes.
So when he saw Lin Zichen, Wang Kang was absolutely polite, and took the initiative to bow down and shake hands, everyone in the entertainment industry is as good as a monkey, of course, he will not miss the opportunity to meet the big boss.
Lin Zichen nodded and smiled, and also stretched out his hand: "Director Wang, I have admired the name for a long time, and it is also our honor to cooperate with you this time." ”
"Hahaha, Chairman Lin can speak, we are just making hard-earned money, you are the big boss." Wang Kang laughed, and the flesh on his face was piled together, and he didn't forget to push the gold-rimmed glasses on his face.
"By the way, Chairman Lin, I heard that the female lead was chosen by your side, can I take a look?"
Lin Zichen nodded and smiled: "Yes, the second and third actresses are in our company, and the female number one will get off the plane immediately, and I will let her come directly to the company." ”
"Okay, well, big companies are doing things vigorously, I think our movie will definitely be an instant hit!"
Lin Zichen doesn't care whether he is popular or not, he doesn't care about the income brought by a movie, compared to the strong body pill, I am afraid that ten box office blockbuster movies are not worth the income of his pill for a year.
That is, for Lin Mengran and Luo Shi to be happy, he will be here to stare at this project, and then he called Huo Qing and asked Tang Meiru not to go to the hotel to rest first, and to come directly to the company to meet with the director.
At this time, Huo Qing had already received Tang Meiru, and when she learned that it was director Wang Kang, Tang Meiru was also very excited, so she was still tired, so she directly agreed to go to the company first.
"Chairman Lin, I want to talk about this scene, this drama is divided into two parts, one side is domestic, we chose Miaojiang to shoot, and the other side is Europe, so we need time to choose the location." Wang Kang said.
Lin Zichen nodded: "Okay, these are all right, we mainly make the movie well, and as long as the investment does not exceed the budget, it is easy to say." ”
Hearing this, Wang Kang smiled: "Chairman Lin is really happy, I think so, I am responsible for the selection of scenery on Miaojiang's side, and Europe will be selected by your company and Nancong Company, and finally we will finalize it together, how about it?" ”
"No problem, I'll send someone as soon as possible."
As he was talking, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and Long Aoxue walked in and said, "Send someone?" Hehe, this is a project we are cooperating with, I hope Chairman Lin will face up to his attitude, some things still need to be done by himself. ”
Lin Zichen looked at Long Aoxue, of course he could hear that her words were tingling, and said, "Hehe, do it yourself?" I'm sorry, I'm not the head of Lin's Pictures, my duty is in Longchuan Group. ”
Long Aoxue shrugged her shoulders, sat down as she approached, looked at Wang Kang, and said, "Hello Director Wang, I am the person in charge of Nancong Company for this project, and my surname is Long." ”
When Wang Kang saw Long Aoxue, his eyes glowed green: "Ah...... I've heard of it, beautiful boss! ”
"Hehe, I'm not a CEO, I'm just representing Nancong Company, since I represent it, I have this responsibility, some things can't be perfunctory, what do you say, Chairman Lin?" Longao Snow Road.
Lin Zichen's face turned pale and blue for a while, he didn't expect Long Aoxue to suddenly appear, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he gave him a faceless face.
"Miss Long mean, I'm going to do this myself?" Lin Zichen said.
"Hehe, what's wrong with that? As the person in charge of the company, do you feel free to leave it to others to choose the scene? What's more, this is the first project we have collaborated on, and the first theatrical film, you don't want to make do, do you? Long Aoxue sneered.
Lin Zichen took a deep breath: "I will contact Mr. Lan of our company, she will go in person when the time comes." ”
Long Aoxue smiled and ignored it, after all, this had nothing to do with her, she just hated Lin Zichen and was not unhappy on any occasion.
As for Nan Cong's company, she won't let her come forward, after all, the person in charge is Lei Yunjiang, so to put it bluntly, she has nothing to do with herself.
After that, Lin Zichen rarely spoke, it was Long Aoxue and Wang Kang chatting, and while chatting, Lin Zichen received a text message from Huo Qing, saying that he had brought Tang Meiru here.
"Director Wang, the actress has arrived, why don't you take a look first?" Lin Zichen said.
"Okay, Chairman Lin is happy, this drama has high requirements for the appearance and temperament of the actress, let's take a look first."
Subsequently, Tang Meiru entered the conference room, and when she saw Tang Meiru, Wang Kang's performance was still very calm, after all, he was a big director, and he saw more actresses, so he would not be as unproductive as a newcomer.
Tang Meiru took the initiative to sit in front of Lin Zichen, of course she understood that if it wasn't for Lin Zichen's nomination this time, she would not have this opportunity.
"Miss Tang, hehe, beauty, do you have any understanding of the script?" Wang Kangdao.
Tang Meiru: "Everything is up to the director." ”
While speaking, Tang Meiru exudes a natural charm, combining maturity and beauty, although it can be seen that there are deliberate ingredients, but it is still very beautiful.
Wang Kang nodded and smiled: "Miss Tang is modest, we like actors with such an attitude, this "Hunter" is actually a realistic portrayal of the modern workplace, with suspense elements, Miss Tang's burden is not light." ”
"Hehe, this doesn't still depend on the director's support, Meiru doesn't have any ability, it's good if she can be obedient."
Hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Wang Kang's eyes.
Obedience is indeed a pun, it can be said that it is obedient in the crew, and it can also be understood as obedience in bed, which can be regarded as one of the rules of the entertainment industry.
Lin Zichen also heard the meaning, and couldn't help but feel a little repulsed in his heart, although he was willing to help Tang Meiru do this favor and give her a play, but for her habit that had been formed, Lin Zichen was still quite disgusting.
Subsequently, Tang Meiru also joined the meeting, but Lin Zichen listened more, and he didn't bother to speak.
After the meeting, Wang Kang and Long Aoxue left Lin's Pictures all the way, and in the president's office, Tang Meiru said: "Master Lin, thank you so much, Luo Shidu said, this time you purely want to help me." ”
When Tang Meiru and Wang Kang were talking, there was no lack of flattery, after all, this is also the natural reaction of actresses, and when they meet a big director, of course, they have to show their most flattering side, which can be regarded as one of the routes to seek development.
In the face of Lin Zichen, she didn't dare to do this, she knew that Lin Zichen had Lan Luoshi in her heart, and she was upright, not a place for her to flatter.
"Miss Tang, you're welcome, they are all friends of Luoshi, but this time the female number one candidate has not been absolutely finalized, so you have to work hard and be familiar with the script, and the final selection will be determined by our Lin family and Nan Cong." Lin Zichen said.
"I know, Master Lin, don't worry, I know what to do."
"Huh?" Lin Zichen was stunned, "You know...... How? What do you mean? ”
Lin Zichen vaguely felt that Tang Meiru's words seemed to have another meaning.
Tang Meiru blushed and lowered her head: "Generally, directors have a lot of decision-making power, and I will work Director Wang." ”
"Director Wang?" Lin Zichen said with wide eyes, she really misunderstood......
"Well, although Director Wang is a great director, Meiru will try her best to find a way, otherwise...... I'll go find him tonight. ”
Lin Zichen was helpless, sighed, and said: "Miss Tang, I think you misunderstood what I meant, in Lin's movies, you don't need to sell yourself in exchange for a role, if your efforts come, I Lin Zichen can decide, do you understand?" ”
"Huh? Lin Ye, don't you need me to accompany Director Wang? ”
Lin Zichen was also drunk, he shook his head: "No need, if there is any improper relationship during this filming for the sake of competition, I will immediately disqualify her, understand?" ”
Tang Meiru was stunned, this is the first time she has heard such a thing, in the past, when she took on the play, to put it bluntly, it was equivalent to taking the job, and if she didn't sleep with the director or the investor, it would be impossible for her to have her role.
"Master Lin, I'm ......"
"I understand, you don't need to say it, maybe you used to take a different route, but when you get to the Lin family, everything is based on strength, if you can do it, you can go up, if it doesn't work, it's useless to sleep with anyone, take this place as a new start."
Hearing this, Tang Meiru's eyes were a little moist, and she felt that her spirit had been baptized, so she nodded vigorously: "Hmm." ”
