Chapter 537 "The Life of Longing"
After Lin Li finished filming that day, Song Wenjie took out Lin Li's mobile phone and gave it to Lin Li.
"Xu Zhe called you just now, I answered, I said you were filming, and he said to call him back when it is convenient for you, you can call him as late as you want."
Lin Li was stunned for a moment, knowing that Xu Zhe must have something to do with him, so he picked up his mobile phone and went to a quiet corner to call Xu Zhe back.
"Hey, Teacher Xu Zhe, hello, I'm Linli."
"Lin Li, I'm sorry, I know you're filming, and I still bother you."
"Don't bother, I'm not too busy here, do you have something to do?"
Xu Zhegan laughed for a while and said, "I'm here...... I won't go around the bush, I recently talked to Mr. Huang, it's Huang Lei, you know, I invested in a new show with him, but right...... Now something is wrong. ”
It was the first time Lin Li heard Xu Zhe's helpless tone, and hurriedly asked, "What's the situation, can I help in any way?" ”
Xu Zhezheng didn't know how to speak, but when he heard Lin Li say it first, he didn't hide it.
"That's right, we're filming the show to the end now, but ...... Now there is no platform willing to broadcast it......" Xu Zhe smiled awkwardly.
Lin Li was stunned for a moment and asked, "How come, with the reputation of you and Teacher Huang in the circle, it is impossible to have no platform to ask for it, and ...... Isn't this a show from Mango Channel? ”
"Hey, it's hard to put it simply...... I personally do not have an employment relationship with Mango Channel, and I am not an employee of Mango Channel's system, I am only an external program host hired by Mango Channel, but I have hosted several Mango Channel programs, and the effect is not bad, so I have been cooperating for so many years. ”
"What about my show with Mr. Huang this time...... It was filmed by the team we found ourselves, and it has nothing to do with Mango Channel, and the show we made this time is a bit unpopular, and everyone is not very optimistic, for the sake of me and Mr. Huang's face, everyone also said that they were willing to buy this show, but ...... It's just that I'm not very optimistic about the prospects of our show, and the fee given is relatively low, and it doesn't meet our expectations......"
As soon as Xu Zhe explained this, Lin Li understood.
The programs invested by Xu Zhe and Huang Lei are naturally very confident and look forward to the programs, and it is impossible to sell them to TV stations very cheaply.
"How can I help?"
Lin Li asked, he knew that Xu Zhe called him, and he must have asked for help.
Xu Zhe smiled: "I really want to trouble you, that is...... Aren't you making a movie right now...... I'm afraid of disturbing you, so I haven't contacted you, but this time, it's really not for you. ”
"Teacher Xu, just say directly, if you can help, I will definitely be duty-bound."
Xu Zhe said with a smile: "Then I'll just say it, what about me, I have something to do with Mango Channel, I also asked the director, he said it's okay to buy our show at our price, it's okay to buy our show at our price, it's just that the guests we invited before don't seem to be able to bring the ratings, I hope we can find a few people who can drive the topic and ratings at the end, the director specially mentioned you......"
Lin Li said with a smile: "Your director quite looks up to me." ”
"You don't know, you are a sought-after resource in every station now, and when the director said this, the first thing that came to my mind was you."
"Look at you, the programs you participate in all have ratings, and the reputation is also very good, almost all of them have record-breaking performances, and the topic is also very strong, now you are filming, not accepting variety shows, in fact, many programs want to find you, I can't help it, so I have the cheekiness to ask, if you don't have time, it's okay, don't be embarrassed."
Xu Zhe invested in the program himself, and he naturally cared about it.
Lin Li thought about it, now that his movie shooting is nearing the end, there is nothing special to pay attention to except for the final airport scene.
"Teacher Xu, can I ask, ...... your show What type is it? ”
Lin Li has a principle, you can also be on the show, but it must be a program that you recognize, so before deciding to participate, these are the things you have to ask clearly.
"Oh, our show is a program that focuses on returning to rural life, we are now in a village in Miyun County, and we all cook three meals a day by ourselves, and there will be several guests in each episode, and we need to do some farm work."
Lin Li listened to it and said: "It sounds very good, the current show is too impetuous, your show that really settles down and returns to a peaceful rural life can calm people down, I think it's very good." ”
"We also think it's good, but we looked for a lot of stations, and they all think our show is too primitive, haha, there are no topics and contradictions to attract attention."
Lin Li sneered: "These people are too visionary. ”
"People are in that position, it's understandable to consider the ratings, and we don't dare to say what useful ratings we can have after the broadcast of this show, they are also trying, in fact, Mr. Huang and I are also afraid of failure, no, I came to you."
Lin Li said with a smile: "Teacher Xu, thanks to you and Teacher Huang, then I must help with this favor, when do you think I will pass?" ”
Xu Zhe said happily: "It's all right, but it's ...... It would be nice if I could come over tomorrow. ”
"Okay, I'll tell my mom to book a ticket to Kyoto right away."
"...... over there"
"It's okay, there are still some sporadic shots to be retaken, so I don't need to be here."
"Okay, when are you coming over, our program team will call someone to pick you up."
"Well, ask someone from the program team to contact my mother."
"Yes, Lin Li, thank you so much."
"Teacher Xu is too polite, then we'll see you tomorrow."
"Okay, see you tomorrow."
Lin Li hung up the phone and told Song Wenjie about it, Song Wenjie's phone rang, she picked up the phone, and the two sides communicated.
Lin Li said that he would not accept any program invitations when making movies, but at this time, Xu Zhe begged to come to the door, and Lin Li naturally couldn't refuse, although this would indeed affect the shooting of his movie.
Lin Li knew that Xu Zhe probably had no choice but to call himself, after all, the program he invested in himself must have hoped that the program would be better.
Lin Li agreed to Xu Zhe not only because of his relationship with Xu Zhe, but also because of this show, Lin Li felt good, now the lights of the city are bright and impetusive, and he should support such a show.
As for the filming of the movie, Lin Li felt that the impact would not be too great.
There are a lot of scenes of campuses and urban streets in the movie, which I haven't shot before, and now that I'm not there, I can just let Yin Shiguang and them finish filming in the past two days.
When the time comes, I will come back and finish filming the last two big scenes, and the movie will be almost done.
Lin Li called Yin Shiguang and others, told him that he was going to leave for two days, and asked him to take someone to make up some sporadic shots, and Yin Shiguang agreed.
The next day, Lin Li flew to Kyoto, and as soon as he got off the bus, someone from the program team was holding Song Wenjie's name high and picking up the plane.
Lin Li only then knew from the program logo posted on their car that their program was called "Longing for Life".
The airport was already on the outskirts of Kyoto, and the program team's car had been driving out for a long time, and gradually the high-rise buildings had disappeared from the car window, and they had become low-rise old houses.
After driving for more than half an hour, there were no buildings outside the window, and there were lush green mountains and rivers on both sides.
When the car arrived at Oyodo Village, where "Longing for Life" was located, Lin Li even suspected that this was still not Kyoto.
The environment here is so beautiful, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the fields are full of rice, bees and butterflies are dancing, you can see cattle and sheep on the hillside in the distance, and the village is full of old-fashioned houses, with chickens, ducks and dogs roaming the road.
It really looked like the years were quiet, and Lin Li suddenly felt that the whole person was relaxed.
There are many villagers chattering at the entrance of the village, of course, all of them are women and elderly people with babies.
They saw someone coming, and they also looked over, and several women actually recognized Lin Li, holding their children and waving to Lin Li outside the camera.
Lin Li also responded one by one, and followed the people of the program team all the way to the west of the village.
As soon as the people who followed the program team arrived in the west, they saw a big wooden house at the foot of the mountain from a distance, with a large courtyard, and the courtyard was full of flowers and plants, which was very beautiful.
There are also a bunch of staff carrying cameras outside, don't think about it, this is the base camp of the program team.
Not long after Lin Li left, a group of people came out of the wooden house.
"Hey, Lin Li!"
In the distance, Xu Zhe was waving to welcome, and at this time, two teenagers, a man and a woman, came out of the wooden house.
Lin Li recognized them, they were all actors, the male was slightly thin and called Peng Ying, and the female Qingqing Xiuxiu was called Zhang Yiqian.
"Brother Lin Li, hello."
Zhang Yiqian greeted Lin Li a little shyly.
"Hello, Zhang Yiqian." Lin Lidao.
Zhang Yiqian smiled at Peng Ying and said, "Wow, Brother Lin Li knows me." ”
Peng Ying smiled: "Then you must know me, right?" ”
Lin Li nodded and said, "Well, I know, I watched your performance of "The Second Girl". ”
Peng Ying laughed and said, "I can sing a lot of songs." ”
Saying that, Peng Ying really sang a few words of "I Don't Turn" and "The Wind Rises".
Zhang Yiqian couldn't listen to it anymore, and said: "Brother, I really admire your courage, you dare to sing in front of Brother Lin Li with your singing voice." ”
Zhang Yiqian and Peng Ying are not brother and sister, but because they have made a movie before and played brother and sister, they have always been called this in and out of the play, and the relationship between the two is more like brother and sister.
Peng Ying glanced at Lin Li and said with a smile: "Lin Li, how do you say I sing?" ”
Lin Li was stunned for a moment and said, "I think you are good at acting." ”
After Lin Li finished speaking, the three of them laughed.
Peng Ying walked over, reached out to take the suitcase, and said, "I'll help you." ”
Lin Li saw that he came out to help on purpose, and it was not good to refuse his kindness, so he nodded and thanked him.
"Up front is our mushroom house." Zhang Yiqian introduced.
"Mushroom house?" Lin Li should recite with interest.
"Well, that's our home here." Peng Ying said.
The three approached, and Xu Zhe and Huang Lei walked out to greet Lin Li.
With such a newcomer as Lin Li, it is really rare to alarm Xu Zhe and Huang Lei, two seniors with deep experience in the entertainment industry, to go out to greet them.
Lin Li stepped forward and hugged each other, and Xu Zhe said, "Lin Li, you have helped us a lot this time." ”
Huang Lei said: "What do you want to eat at night, just say." ”
"You can just order food, right?" Lin Lidao.
"Yes, albeit a point."
"Then let's eat Mr. Huang's specialty dish."
Everyone laughed and said, "You ordered too much, Mr. Huang and others will get you a table full of Han." ”
These words were naturally praising Mr. Huang's cooking skills, and Lin Li smiled: "Then I'll order a sauerkraut fish, okay?" ”
Huang Lei looked at the director of the program group and said with a smile: "Yes, come in and talk about it." ”
Entering the courtyard, Lin Li saw that there were two other guests in the courtyard.
There was a chubby man Lin Li who didn't know, and another chubby man about thirty years old, whom Lin Li recognized, was called Yue Long.
"Hello, I'm Yue Long."
"Hello, I'm Lin Li."
"Acquaintance, acquaintance, and long-standing admiration of the great name."
Another person stepped forward and said, "Hello Teacher Lin Li, my name is Hu Xianxu." ”
Lin Li said with a smile: "Your name, others call you a virtuous son-in-law." ”
Hu Xianxu seemed to be shouted like this, and said with a smile: "Yes." ”
"This is good, especially if Mr. Huang calls you that, you can take advantage of it." Lin Lidao.
Everyone laughed, because everyone knew that Huang Lei had a beautiful daughter named Hu Xianxu Xianxian, and people who didn't know would really misunderstand the relationship between the two.
Huang Lei said: "So, I call him Xiaohu." ”
As they spoke, they slipped their slippers and entered the mushroom house.
The mushroom house is a wooden house, and the interior is very modern, with a lot of carpets and ideas, and it looks like a sponsor.
Peng Ying took Lin Li's luggage upstairs, and Lin Li followed up to take a look, there were two large rooms upstairs.
You don't need to look at it to know that it's a boy and a girl.
Lin Li saw that the place where the boy lived was a bunk, and it was no problem to live for four or five people.
Lin Li brought some souvenirs from Sioux City to each guest, and after dividing them, sitting in the living room, Lin Li suddenly didn't know what to do next.
Because he agreed in a hurry, Lin Li didn't know the flow of the show at all, and he didn't know what to do next.
It's naturally good if you just chatter idly, but the show won't be interesting when it's broadcast.
But with Xu Zhe as a professional host, there is naturally no need to worry about these things.
"Lin Li, we all know that you are a director now, right?" Xu Zhe suddenly mentioned this topic, obviously wanting to promote Lin Li.
Lin Li nodded and said, "Yes." ”
"When will it be released?" Xu Zhe asked.
"It's not decided yet, but it's supposed to be the summer season."
"Okay, when the time comes, we will definitely charter the venue to support!"
Huang Lei is an old-timer in the entertainment industry, and many artists in the circle are his students, and he is also very generous.
This is naturally thanks to Lin Li for saving the scene this time.
Lin Li said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Huang, there is no need to be so exaggerated in chartering, I will invite everyone to see it then." ”
"Then what's the matter, we won't go to see it with just a few of us, we must bring our relatives and friends together, my daughter likes you, and she has already told me that she is looking forward to your movie." Huang Lei said.
Lin Li was a little surprised, Huang Lei's daughter would like him, Huang Lei's words should not be praising himself, because even if Huang Lei's identity praises himself, he will not bring his daughter with him.
"Thank you, ...... for this show"
Xu Zhe understood and said: "Let's talk about it, broadcast on Mango Channel, this is our last issue, and it is expected to be broadcast in mid-July, and if your movie is released at that time, this program can also help you promote it." ”
Huang Lei said: "Come, face the camera, say the name of the movie, publicize it, this paragraph is guaranteed not to be cut." ”
Lin Li smiled: "Forget it, I'm not here to promote the movie." ”
Xu Zhe and Huang Lei glanced at each other and said with a smile: "It's the first time we've seen such a hard-working director, and his movies are not promoted, because he thinks that no one will watch our show!" ”
Lin Li also laughed and said, "With you two teachers here, how can no one be watching." ”
Lin Li said that he still didn't want to promote the movie, and Xu Zhe and Huang Lei didn't mention it again.
Huang Lei and Lin Li met for the first time, but after reading some of Lin Li's news and knowing some things about Lin Li from Xu Zhe, they were not surprised by his approach.
Some people just don't bother to sell by nature.
