Jin Xinyan's previous family accident happened, and after Jin Yongnian returned to China safely, it slowly spread.
As Jin Xinyan's good friends, Xu Zhangbao and Li Liduo certainly knew about it. Both Li Liduo and Xu Zhangbao admired Chen Feng from the bottom of their hearts for taking the risk to go to Europe to rescue Jin Yongnian.
In addition, not to mention that the film and television company founded by Chen Feng produced the hit TV series "Heshan Order" in a short period of time and made huge profits.
Therefore, even Xu Zhangbao, who was somewhat hostile to Chen Feng before, now sincerely wants to make a good friendship with Chen Feng.
People are so realistic.
And Chen Feng remembered what happened to them at the last party, and decisively refused again: "I feel a little unwell today, so I won't go. You guys can play."
After saying that, he motioned for Jin Xinyan to get in the car without waiting for the two people in the car to persuade her.
Seeing this, Jin Xinyan had no choice but to follow Chen Feng's wishes and explain to Chen Feng before getting into the car.
Seeing this, Xu and Zhangbao had no choice but to give up.
Watching them drive away, Chen Feng crossed the road and got into his car. He was just about to start going back to his home in Hongshu Bay when his phone vibrated and a message was sent.
I picked it up and saw that it was from Han Shipei, whom I hadn't contacted for a few days. She said it was to thank him for his help last time and to invite him to dinner.
Chen Feng replied "Thank you, no need" and put down the phone again.
However, Han Shipei was obviously insistent and sent another message saying that she must thank him. After all, Chen Feng helped her save 100,000 yuan. If she didn't treat him to a meal, she would have a bad conscience.
After all, she meant well, but Chen Feng really didn't want to eat with her, so he sent a voice message and said: "Well, just give me a red envelope of 500 yuan, and treat it as a treat to me."
Han Shipei first sent a cold sweat emoji, and then also sent a voice message: "Can treating you to a meal be the same as giving a red envelope? And you are so rich, and you still want my red envelope, it's too much. I am now
I’m unemployed and I don’t even know where my next job will be.”
"Then you can order a higher-end takeout for me. That'll be all right."
When Han Shipei heard Chen Feng's request, he was speechless. After a while, he could only bite the bullet and said: "No, I have to have a meal with you face to face to express my true gratitude to you. All other forms are empty.
of."
"Then let's wait for another day. I'm not free today, so let's start with this."
After Chen Feng said this, he didn't bother to pay attention to her anymore.
Han Shipei sent a message without giving up. Chen Feng didn't bother to read it anymore and started the car to go home.
After the car drove all the way back to Hongshu Bay and stopped in the carport, Chen Feng had time to pick up his phone and check his unread messages.
On the way back, several message notifications sounded. I thought they were all from Han Shipei, but I found that besides her, there was also Yang Wenqi who hadn't contacted him for a long time.
[Boss, I have been training in the company for so long, but the company has never arranged filming for me. Can you tell me the company’s specific plans for me in the future? I am very confused now.]
When Chen Feng saw this news from her, he couldn't help but frown slightly. Chen Feng had previously discussed the acting plans of Yang Wenqi and Xin Yuqing, two new people signed by the company, with several relevant senior executives in the company.
That is, while training them, we can also arrange for them to play small roles in some production crews, or even minor roles, so that they can gain some knowledge and experience.
But now Yang Wenqi said that the company only provided her with training, but did not arrange for a crew to film for her. This is obviously different from the original discussion result.
Chen Feng immediately called Hu Rui, the manager of the company's artist department, to find out what happened.
After the phone call, Chen Feng knew the reason.
The reason is very simple, that is, Yang Wenqi is so beautiful, has a very good temperament, and the camera sense is very strong. If she is photographed, other female characters will be eclipsed.
It was not that she was not recommended to audition for some crews, including some small roles, but the people on the other crew basically rejected her when they saw her face and temperament. The reason for the rejection was very simple. Let the other female characters in the crew stand with her.
Together, they will take over the host.
There are some crews who are willing to hire her for filming, even for some important supporting roles, but the other party expresses their intention to let Yang Wenqi make an equal exchange, that is, they want to seduce her. How is this possible? Not to mention that Yang Wenqi does not agree, Hu Rui
As her agent, it is impossible for her to agree.
So, the matter was delayed like this.
Yang Wenqi wanted to take the role, but she didn't want to be lurked, and she had to play a female lead, a second female lead, etc., so she had no choice but to be favored by Fengmang Film and Television. Either she would bring money to join the cast, or her own company would invest in making a film.
At present, the company has plans to launch a new drama. This is because "Please Advice for the Rest of My Life" previously produced by Fengmang Film and Television was finally sold at a good price under the operation of Lu Sijia. Not only did it continue to cooperate with Goose Factory Video, it was also sold directly to
After joining Donghai TV Station, I can finally go on to stardom in a serious way.
And the price is quite impressive. There are 30 episodes in total. Each episode was sold for 2.6 million, which was directly credited to 78 million. The total cost of the show was claimed to be 50 million, but in fact the total cost of the show was only over 15 million.
The cost is reduced, and the income from selling it to the TV station is enough to achieve a big profit.
What's more, there are dividends from online platforms.
It can be seen that it is very profitable for Fengmang Film and Television to make their own dramas.
Of course, most of the credit for this actually goes to Lu Sijia, the general manager and chief producer. It can be said that Chen Feng did not choose her wrong.
The second drama produced by Fengmang Film and Television has made a lot of money again. Of course, they want to strike while the iron is hot and want to start a new drama. And according to Chen Feng's plan, he will directly film the script "The Sapphire Case" written by Wu Mengting.
As you can tell from the name, it is a costume drama. Wu Mengting started writing it at the end of last year, and it has taken nearly four months to complete it until now.
This is a costume romance drama with the Southern Song Dynasty as the historical background. It contains the feelings of family and country and the feelings of children. The writing is quite touching, and some of the plots in it are relatively novel. It can be seen that Wu Mengting put a lot of thought into it.
At present, the script has been submitted to the company for review and discussion.
Chen Feng has already seen it and wants to film it, but after all, he doesn't care much now, so he still has to respect the company's relevant rules and regulations and work processes, especially Lu Sijia's opinions.
Therefore, according to the process, this script must be submitted to the company for collective review and discussion before it is approved.
There are three main female characters in this TV series. Of course, they were chosen first from his own company, and Chen Feng had also thought about Yang Wenqi before, letting her play a maid or something.
But now after listening to Hu Rui's words, it seems that it is really difficult for her to act as a maid, because she may really take over the spotlight, thus affecting the brightness and performance of other female characters, unless she is allowed to play such an important supporting role as the second and third female characters.
.
After Chen Feng thought about it, he still sent a reply to Yang Wenqi: [Don't worry, the company has detailed future plans for you. If nothing unexpected happens, you will play a supporting role in the new drama planned by the company]
Yang Wenqi is a future star that he is very fond of. Chen Feng signed her because of her excellent qualities, good looks and good temperament.
For a top-notch beauty like her, as long as her acting skills are not too flattering, and as long as the company supports her, it will be difficult for her to become famous. And as long as she becomes popular, she can become a cash cow for the company.
When Chen Feng sent this news, Yang Wenqi replied almost instantly: "Really? That's great. Boss, can you tell me specifically what the play is? What kind of supporting role should I play?"
[The new drama has been submitted to the company for review. You will know when the results come out. I will recommend you to be one of the supporting roles. I will try my best to get you the role of the third female lead. However, you have to strive for your own success. Otherwise,
If the acting skills are not up to standard, there is nothing I can do about it. After all, the company’s budget for the new drama is nearly 80 million, so we can’t screw it up]
The 80 million investment Chen Feng mentioned is of course an exaggeration. Inflating film and television production costs is an unspoken rule in today's domestic circles. There are almost no exceptions. It's just a matter of how much. Fengmang Film and Television is certainly no exception.
In fact, the investment amount for "The Sapphire Case" must be controlled within 30 million. After all, neither Chen Feng nor Lu Sijia want to hire any big-name stars.
However, even so, it is undoubtedly a big production. Chen Feng originally did not let Yang Wenqi play an important female supporting role in this drama, but Yang Wenqi's own conditions are too good. If her acting skills are passable, she will be given a chance to play the role.
The third female role may be able to add some color to this drama.
After all, Yang Wenqi is so beautiful, and the audience will find it very eye-catching. Moreover, the character of the third female lead is also somewhat likable, similar to a silly and sweet setting.
[Boss, don’t worry, I will definitely do my best. However, boss, please help me and let me know some specific contents of this new drama in advance. Can you... let me read the script? 】
Chen Feng couldn't help but frown slightly when he saw this message. After thinking about it, he replied: [In principle, the script cannot be shown to others casually and must be kept confidential. You'd better wait for two more days. The company should be able to approve the new drama in two days.
Reviewed]
[Boss, please help me. I’ll treat you to a cup of coffee right now. How about a cappuccino at Lehman Café? I’ll treat you to a cappuccino. Bring the script over and I’ll read it and return it to you on the spot. Absolutely.
Keep it confidential and never leak it.】
Speaking of Lyman Cafe, Chen Feng couldn't help but think of the scene when he met her there, and at first he mistook her for Li Liqin.
Thinking of this, Chen Feng couldn't help but feel soft in his heart. In addition, there was no doubt that she would be the company's most popular newcomer, and he sent her a message: [See you in twenty minutes on the balcony on the second floor of Ryman]
[Received. Thank you boss, cute.]
Chen Feng smiled and put away his phone. He got out of the car and went into the villa, took the script of "The Sapphire Case" from the drawer of the coffee table in the living room, and then drove out again.
Ten minutes later, the car arrived at Lyman Cafe, but it turned out that Yang Wenqi had arrived first. When she saw Chen Feng, she happily stood up from her seat and smiled and waved to him, attracting the attention of many men around her.
Chen Feng's eyes were full of envy and jealousy.
"This is what you want, I'll give you an hour."
Chen Feng came over and handed him the printed script directly.
"Thanks."
Yang Wenqi took it with joy on her face, and immediately looked through it with admiration. Fortunately, she resisted and did not read immediately. Instead, she called the waiter and ordered Chen Feng a cappuccino and a cheesecake.
.
Then, she lowered her head and read the script seriously.
Chen Feng was opposite her, drinking coffee, eating snacks, and checking his cell phone. The time passed quickly.
During this period, Chen Feng also stood up and walked around the balcony rest area here, overlooking the scenery of East Lake.
After waiting for almost an hour, I returned to my seat and said to Yang Wenqi: "Okay, it's almost done. Give it back to me."
In fact, Yang Wenqi's reading speed is actually quite fast. It only took more than half an hour to read it. I am now reading it for the second time.
Seeing Chen Feng speak, she reluctantly handed the script back to him.
"Boss, I really like the role of the second female lead. Can you play it for me? I promise that I will try my best to play her well." Yang Wenqi looked at him longingly.
Chen Feng looked at her in surprise, shook his head and said, "This character is not likable, she is a vicious-hearted woman."
"That's why it's challenging and easy to remember. Moreover, I think the role of the second female lead has two sides. She didn't want to harm anyone at the beginning, but was forced by the situation later. What's more, in the end
, didn’t she become better again? Although it was a little late, she also paid the price with her own life. This is also a very valuable quality. This shows that her nature is not bad. "
Chen Feng still shook his head: "Let's talk about this later. If you want to fight for the second female lead, then wait until the crew is established, then go to the audition and let Mr. Lu and others make a collective decision."
After Yang Wenqi rolled her eyes, she pretended to be helpless and said: "Okay. Anyway, thank you this time. I'll invite you to the bar for a drink again."
"Bar?" Chen Feng looked at her with some surprise. He had the impression that a woman like her shouldn't go to a place like a bar.
"Yeah. I found a very good music bar. The resident singer inside sang very well and sang folk songs. The environment was also very good, not noisy, and there were no random people to harass me. Xinyan took me there once
.Now that I’m taking you there for the second time, I still don’t dare to go alone. What do you think?”
Jin Xinyan and her group like to go to bars to spend money. Chen Feng knows that. Chen Feng doesn't like it very much, but it's hard to say anything.
"Forget it. I've given up drinking. If nothing goes wrong, let's do this for now." Chen Feng stood up and said, "Since you have read the script, you should prepare well when you go back. When you have the formal audition, you have to show your own
It’s the best condition.”
"Okay then, let's go down together."
Yang Wenqi followed Chen Feng downstairs and out of the coffee shop. When Chen Feng was about to separate from her, she suddenly said: "Boss, why don't you take me back to where I live. It's not easy to take a taxi here."
"Where do you live now? The company should have arranged accommodation for you, right?"
"Well, I live a few minutes away from here, not far from the company. It has two bedrooms and one living room, and Yuqing and I have one room each."
"Okay, I'll take you back."
It was only a few minutes away, and Chen Feng didn't have anything to do, so he just gave her a ride.
