044 Temptation
“…… Chen Fan, Chen Fan. ”
A voice went from vague to clear, Chen Fan reacted, looked up, saw that the people in the conference room were looking at him, and asked a little weakly, "What?" ”
After Zhong Xixi left, Zhou Manxin called them together again and held a meeting. In addition to him and Guo Yuzhi, there are several other people who are the backbone of Manman Film and Television Company.
Zhong Xixi has agreed to participate in the show, which means that the project will officially start the preparatory work.
When they were discussing passionately just now, Chen Fan was still thinking about Zhong Xixi's matter, and he didn't listen to it at all.
Zhou Manxin stood there, pressed her hands on the table, stood up straight again, and repeated the question, "Do you have any suggestions for the male protagonist?" ”
Chen Fan said, "I think it's best to have better acting skills and be more down-to-earth." ”
As for other conditions, he didn't mention it, the investment in this drama is there, even if Zhou Manxin really pulls in 10 million and invites Zhong Xixi, how much more can he get paid to hire a male star?
Besides, he is an original author and screenwriter, and he has no right to speak, and the script is almost completed, so he is waiting to collect the money.
Zhou Manxin nodded and said, "Most of the scenes in this drama are the male protagonist and the female protagonist. The heroine has just one requirement, beautiful enough, Zhong Xixi is fully competent. If you are the actor, your appearance is secondary, the key is to have good acting skills, and you must stand with Zhong Xixi and look like a good match. Director Lin, you can list some people according to these requirements. ”
A man in the conference room answered.
Then, Zhou Manxin assigned tasks to several other people, including Guo Yuzhi, and asked him to find a suitable shooting location. Strive to officially start filming after the Spring Festival is over.
Because in the script, there are a lot of icy and snowy scenes, and only in the north can you find such an exterior. Therefore, Guo Yuzhi has to go to the north for another trip.
At this moment, Zhou Manxin's mobile phone rang and went outside to answer the phone.
After a while, Zhou Manxin came back with a smile on his face and said, "Let me tell you a good news, just now, the investment department of Goose Pictures called me and said that it was interested in investing in our movie, with an initial investment of 20 million. ”
For a moment, everyone in the conference room cheered.
Chen Fan was stunned, 20 million? And, is it an investment from a large company?
He couldn't see that this project was worth investing 20 million. Even if Zhong Xixi participates, it won't work. After all, she is just a newcomer, and she has become popular in a TV series, and she has never proven herself in a movie.
He looked at the cheering crowd in the conference room, and could only admit that he was just a layman and really couldn't understand this kind of operation.
In the end, Guo Yuzhi, who was sitting next to him, explained his confusion, "Screenwriter Chen, don't you know?" Mr. Zhou, her father is ......"
Guo Yuzhi said a name, and Chen Fan suddenly realized that he was a well-known director who had made many movies and was still active in the film industry. Although it is not the top batch, people like him who don't pay much attention to film directors have heard the name, which proves that it is indeed very level.
With such a network, it is no wonder that such an investment can be attracted. When the time comes, maybe Mr. Zhou's father will also come to check it.
With an investment of 20 million yuan, coupled with a well-known director to check it, maybe this movie can really be made into a masterpiece.
Chen Fan felt that he had really been transferred, and he could actually encounter such a good thing.
What author doesn't want their work to be shot better?
Zhou Manxin said, "That's the end of the meeting, and screenwriter Chen stays. ”
Soon, everyone else left the room.
"Chen Fan, there is something I want to discuss with you." Zhou Manxin's attitude towards him has always been very polite.
Chen Fan said, "Mr. Zhou, just say it." ”
Zhou Manxin said sincerely, "You can also see that there are only a few people in my company, and now the investment in this project has exceeded my previous expectations." There is a shortage of manpower, and I hope you can join the crew. Of course, I'll pay you accordingly. ”
Chen Fan didn't expect that she would make such a request, she was very moved, if she could stay in the crew, she would be able to see Zhong Xixi again. He was in a daze just now, mainly thinking about how to see her again, to test whether she was Lin Xiuwan or not.
He still asked, "But, I don't know anything, what can I do when I join the crew?" ”
"I'm the producer of this film, you just be my assistant, you don't have to do anything else, just keep an eye on the crew when I'm not there. There is also the coordination of personnel relations in the crew. ”
Chen Fan knows that it is not so simple, generally hanging up the title of assistant, they are all miscellaneous, and now it sounds good, when the time comes, he will not have to do any dirty work.
Instead of giving an answer right away, he said, "Well, I'm going to think about it." ”
"Okay, then you can give me an answer as soon as possible."
Chen Fan saw that she was leaving, and asked, "Mr. Zhou, that, when Miss Zhong signs the contract, will she still come to the company?" ”
Zhou Manxin said, "She will take a plane tomorrow and leave, so she shouldn't come." However, this does not affect the contracting. ”
"Oh."
…………
Throughout the day, Chen Fan's mind was turning over and over, thinking about the question, whether Zhong Xixi was Lin Xiuwan or not.
If so, why didn't she recognize herself?
If not, why do they look so alike, and how can they explain the exact same smell on their bodies?
In the evening, Chen Fan finally couldn't help it and called Zhou Manxin, "Mr. Zhou, do you know where Miss Zhong's hotel is?" I've got something to do with her, and I'm going to see her, yes, I'm sorry for you. ”
After knowing the hotel and room number, Chen Fan went out.
If he hadn't figured this out, he wouldn't have been able to sleep tonight.
As soon as Chen Fan got in the car, he received a call from Zhou Manxin, "You don't have to go, she is not in the hotel now, she went out to eat with others." ”
"Can you help me ask where she's eating?"
"This ......"
"This matter is very important to me, please Mr. Zhou must help me with this."
"Okay, I'll send it to you on WeChat."
Soon, Zhou Manxin sent a location.
Chen Fan gave the address to the driver and went straight to the restaurant.
Half an hour later, it was time to get to the place.
Chen Fan entered the restaurant, looked around, and didn't see Zhong Xixi, knowing that she should be in the box. So, I found a place with a better view and sat down, ordered a few things, and sat there waiting.
He hadn't been so nervous in a long time, holding the glass of water in both hands, expecting the figure to appear.
After ten minutes or so, he finally saw the familiar figure, walked out of it, and walked to the bathroom in the corner.
Chen Fan's heart tightened, put down the cup, stood up suddenly, accidentally hit the table, the cup fell down, and the water spilled on his pants, wetting a piece.
He didn't care about this, so he hurriedly chased after him and shouted, "Lin Xiuwan." ”
