Chapter 314: A Strict Director

"Can you tell me about your past?" Tong Lu was suddenly very curious about how Tong Manli spent most of her life, has she always been alone? A person lives out the envy of many women, independent, strong and optimistic, and a beautiful and fashionable woman.

"I once studied abroad, and then I had a few relationships, but I broke up because of discord, and then after graduation, I started to invest and start a business, and now I have a small success, and I have several companies that are doing well." Regarding the first half of her life, Tong Manli said lightly, "Maybe I have accepted too many advanced ideas from the West, so I think women should not be controlled by men, and should live their own lives." ”

Her views are somewhat similar to Tong Lu's, but Tong Lu is not as extreme as her.

The two talked happily, and in a blink of an eye, it was already very late, and Tong Lu took the initiative to invite Tong Manli to live in her home.

"I've asked people to clean up the guest room, auntie, you can stay for the time being." Tong Lu said softly.

Tong Manli stood up, lifted the long hair scattered on her shoulders, and her red lips hooked slightly, "No need, I have an appointment tonight, say goodbye." ”

Tong Manli is like a gust of wind, coming and going in a hurry, Tong Manli doesn't seem to stay for anyone, and she won't be tied up by anyone.

The next day, Tong Manli came to visit in the afternoon, and this time she brought some books about babies, all of which were given to Tong Lu.

The two chatted all over the world, and the relationship was getting better and better, Tong Lu was surprised to find that although Tong Manli was much older than her, she did not have the frame of her elders, but was very peaceful and approachable, and she also knew very well about the topic of young people. This undoubtedly narrowed the distance between the two.

Tong Manli accidentally found a book that Tong Lu put on the sofa, which was about the film and television industry, and it was not only on the sofa, but also on the bookshelf next to it.

Looking at these books, they were all recently bought.

"Tong Lu, have you been paying attention to the film and television industry recently?" Tong Manli asked suddenly.

"Pay attention to some." Although Tong Lu quit, she is still very interested in movies, as long as there are good movies, or which award-winning movies, she will watch them and try to evaluate them.

Although she knew that the work was insignificant, she enjoyed it and found her interest.

"Since you're interested in movies, why don't you consider returning to the entertainment industry?" Tong Manli asked suspiciously.

"This ...... I can't do it both right now. ”

"I have a good idea, I know a famous director Andrei, he is foreign, if you often follow this circle, then you should have heard of his name."

Tong Lu's eyes widened slightly, the famous director Andre?

How could she not have heard of it? That's a famous director!

However, Andre rarely goes to Asia, and he doesn't like to use Asians to shoot movies, so Tong Lu's chance of contact with him is almost zero.

"You know him?" Tong Lu thought to herself what kind of person Tong Manli was, she actually knew such a powerful director!

If she can cooperate with Andre, she feels that Sansheng is lucky. Director Andrei's work is very good, and being able to participate in it, even if it is a small role, it can be regarded as blending into the international circle.

"I know, but he is too strict with his works, almost perverted, so I'm afraid you can't bear this pressure......" Tong Manli sighed slightly.

"It's okay, I can handle it! I believe in my own abilities, and I will definitely let him choose mine. Regardless of whether she succeeds or not, Tong Lu wants to give it a try, and even if she fails, she will not regret it.

"Well, since you're so confident, I'm going to arrange for you to meet tonight? But the ugly words are in the front, although I know him, but I can't make him agree to hire you immediately, and you still need to work your own. ”

"I know, even if I fail, I won't blame you." Tong Lu thought to herself, success or failure was predestined, she just needed to do her best.

In the evening, Andri arrived an hour late, and in the restaurant, the dishes on the table were already cold, but Tong Lu and Tong Manli did not move their chopsticks.

Tong Lu's heart gradually cooled down.

At this moment, a foreign man walked in from outside in a hurry, and he walked directly in the direction of Tong Manli, "Miss Tong, I'm sorry, I'm delayed on the set." ”

"It's not easy to get Mr. Andre there, it's not too late."

Tong Manli took the initiative to stand up and shake hands with him.

After a brief courtesy, the three of them sat down again.

"This is my niece, Tong Lu, she is very interested in your films...... Tong Manli gave a long introduction to Tong Lu, including how many actress awards Tong Lu has won, as well as some of her works.

After listening to this, Andre's expression was still cold, Tong Lu knew it, after all, Tong Lu had won a lot of awards before, and he still knew something about this Asian woman.

But this didn't change his mind, he didn't even look at Tong Lu directly, and interrupted Tong Manli's words a little impatiently, "I'm sorry Miss Tong, you know my habits, I don't usually use Asians, I don't think I need to use Asians in the movies I shoot, okay, I still have something, I'm going to go first." ”

Tong Lu saw that this opportunity was about to disappear from her eyes, she immediately became anxious, stood up and grabbed Andre's clothes, "That...... Mr. Andre, I think we can talk about it again, such as my acting skills and the ...... of the role"

"No, I don't want to talk to Asians about it." Andre tore off Tong Lu's hand and left the restaurant directly.

Tong Lu stood in place a little disappointed, she thought that Andre would at least think about it, but she didn't expect Andre to take less than five minutes from coming in to leaving, and he refused so directly. Obviously, not a single opportunity will be left to her.

"Don't be discouraged, Andre is a knife-mouthed tofu heart, I also said before that he is very strict with his works, and there are very few people who can impress him, Tong Lu If you really want to cooperate with him, you are not completely without a chance." Tong Manli's palm gently rested on Tong Lu's shoulder.

"How can I try?" Tong Lu looked up at her in confusion.

"I know where his set is, I can give you the address, you go there to find him, create your own chances."

"Well, the opportunity is earned by myself, and this truth has been clear since I first stepped into this path." Tong Lu secretly clenched her palms. She is not afraid of hardship or difficulty, she is afraid that her efforts will be in vain.

After Tong Lu returned home, she bought a lot of books to learn how to direct and write screenplays, she likes the film industry very much, so she wants to get as close to this line as possible, although she doesn't have so much time to take on the heroine's play now, but she can learn other aspects.

If she had a talent for music, she would still want to try arranging, thinking vaguely, she suddenly remembered Gu Changkong, and she didn't know where he was going now and how he was doing...... I have to say that Gu Changkong really has musical talent, but he has no intention of developing in this industry, his ambition is too big, what he wants is to create a business empire, but his ability is not proportional to his ambition, so he failed......

Tong Lu took a deep breath and rubbed her eyes, it was already late, but she read the books of screenwriting for several hours in one go, and she was fascinated for a while, and she had forgotten the passage of time.

Tong Lu was unwilling to give up like this, she wanted to know where the staff was needed in Andrei's crew, even if it was a tricky role, she was willing to play it.

Of course, she knows that the other party definitely doesn't need heavyweight roles like directors and screenwriters at this stage, but she wants to get more opportunities to learn, so even if it's a trick, as long as she has the opportunity to join Andre's crew, she is willing.

Tong Lu tried to call the other party, Andre's phone was always busy, Tong Lu guessed that Andre might be busy filming, so she edited a text message and sent it to Andre.

After a long time, the text message was never answered, as if it was sinking into the sea.

Tong Lu sighed, she knew that Andre was rejecting her.

The next day, Tong Manli came to visit Tong Lu and found that Tong Lu looked depressed, and after careful questioning, she learned that Tong Lu had not yet asked for Andre's consent...... She thought about it, so she borrowed paper and pen with the children, wrote an English letter with enthusiasm, put it in an envelope, and handed it to Tong Lu, "This is my letter of recommendation, I don't believe Andre won't give me any face, I'm busy these days, so I don't have time to accompany you." ”

Tong Lu looked at Tong Manli with gratitude in her eyes, thinking that this was really her aunt, and it really solved her urgent need.

"By the way, this is the address of his set, you can try to seduce him and go to the shooting set to learn from him." Tong Manli took out another piece of paper and wrote down an address nearby.

This address Tong Lu happened to know, and she stayed for a while when she was filming before. Tong Lu took the paper as if it were a treasure, "That'...... Is he working now? ”

"Well, I think so, he's a very strict guy at work, he hardly has a day off, and if nothing else, he should be on the set right now."

Tong Lu secretly clenched the note, and at this moment, she suddenly wanted to rush out of the house and rushed to the set...... Tong Manli seemed to see Tong Lu's thoughts, she smiled faintly, "You are really an anxious guy, okay, I happen to have something to do, I want to go first, if you want to go, go quickly." ”

"Okay, aunt, you know me best!" Tong Lu returned to the room to change into a more formal dress and went out with her bag.

She drove to the location, took the address, and while searching, she repeatedly confirmed that the information on the address was not wrong, which showed that her mood was relatively nervous.
