At 8:35 pm, 15 minutes had passed since the appointment time with Tang Danian, the World Cup had already started 9 minutes ago, and Turkey led the national football team 2-0.
Jiang Wen and Xian Gang arrived late. Their faces were as ugly as the fans in the restaurant, and they didn't even have the slightest smile to cope with the situation.
If it hadn't been for Han Sanping's phone call, he would definitely not have come anyway.
Even if it comes,
You can't say yes just because you're happy, but his legs are too stiff and he can't kneel down.
When I walked into the private room of the restaurant, I saw Wang Ben, the door god, standing at the door. His eyes were sharp and I could tell at a glance that he must be a soldier.
My heart skipped a beat, and I gained a deeper understanding of the strength and background of "Mr. Lu".
Pushing the door open,
When he saw Lu Fei's young face, he didn't dare to look down upon him. He was not afraid of being old, but afraid of being young, so he automatically classified him into a certain third generation.
"Everything goes well at "Blind Shaft". Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang are both in line with Zhang Yang's wishes..."
Tang Danian was reporting to Lu Fei when he caught a glimpse of the masculine man in his peripheral vision and stood up immediately: "Director Jiang, here we come."
Lu Fei was still sitting, looking at Zhang Mazi calmly, letting Tang Danian introduce himself, and nodding to show his goodwill to each other.
The co-author is the man behind the scenes!
Jiang Wen sat down on the chair and said straight to the point: "Mr. Lu, I don't speak car-wheel talk.
I'll just put it bluntly,
I must make "Parental Love" because I saw the shadow of my mother in the novel, and I want to make it into a movie dedicated to her."
Lu Fei was happy, "Old Tang should have said that the Han and Tang Dynasties don't want your movie rights, they just want the TV series."
"But I'm afraid that if the TV series is poorly made, the audience will have preconceptions, which will lower the impression of the movie of the same name. This is also a loss."
Jiang Wen's quick words frightened Xian Gang, who coughed loudly and winked.
"The TV series produced by our Han and Tang dynasties must be high-quality. You can ask your agent about the recent TV series produced by Han and Tang dynasties."
Lu Fei saw them looking at each other and communicating softly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "If you are still not at ease, why not let you play the role of Jiang Defu?"
"Parental Love" tells the story of naval officer Jiang Defu and capitalist girl An Jie, who came together in the 1950s amid great changes. It received good ratings and good reputation.
At the beginning of the millennium,
There is no doubt that it is the best among the best. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the drama king of the year in advance.
"Am I playing Jiang Defu?"
Jiang Wen was stunned,
I thought the discussion was about copyright, but I didn't expect that I would be involved.
"If you act, it's not only the best gift to your mother, but it can also give you the feeling of a movie."
Lu Fei's suggestion shocked Jiang Wen and the other three, especially Tang Danian, who hurriedly came over to remind him: "Jiang Wen has many ideas and it is not easy to control them. Lu Chuan suffered a lot during the filming of "Looking for a Gun"."
"Hey, I'm deaf, so I can hear."
Jiang Wen was quite upset and curled his lips and said: "I help him find money, and I also work as an actor and producer for him. Is this bullying? I am a father and a mother, and I am just teaching my son a lesson. If this is considered bullying, I guess everyone would be willing to do it.
Bullied by me."
Lu Fei chuckled and almost spit out the water he just drank, "You should think about it now and make a price if you like."
Xian Gang, who had been silent until now, immediately perked up, "Mr. Lu, this show doesn't have a script, plot, actors, number of episodes, etc. We don't know what it is..."
"Just tell me directly, how much is the salary for a single episode?"
Lu Fei deliberately raised his hand and looked at his watch, implying that his time was very precious. To make a long story short.
Xian Gang saw Jiang Wen nodded and tentatively quoted 80,000 yuan, which was 20,000 yuan more expensive than the market price.
"make a deal!"
Tang Danian also saw Lu Fei nodded slightly and agreed, fearing that Jiang Wen would regret it.
You must know that after filming "Conquest", Sun Honglei's salary for a single episode rose to 80,000, and "Xiao Jiang Wen" had this price. Jiang Wen himself was reasonable and even took advantage.
I have seen people who are happy, but I have never seen anyone who is more happy than Lu Fei!
Jiang Wen deeply felt their sincerity, and suddenly regretted that he should have asked for more and paid off Liu Xiaoqing's debt.
"I have another request, director. I recommend my big brother Zheng Xiaolong."
"sure!"
Lu Fei didn't think twice. In fact, Zheng Xiaolong was the best choice. He could shoot "Golden Wedding" well, so he would naturally shoot "Parental Love" well.
The key is that he was once a big shot in the Beijing circle and had intricate relationships with Wang Shuo, Zhao Baogang, Feng Pengtong, Jiang Wen and others. To capture the thief, capture the king first.
"As for the heroine, we've decided on it."
"Who?" Jiang Wen felt a sudden thought, he wouldn't praise Gao Yuanyuan, would he?
Lu Fei said calmly: "Zeng Li will play An Jie."
………………
Shanghai, a studio rented by Aurora Game Company.
Fill lights were placed on both sides, shining on the stage. Yang Mi was leaning against a white background, making concave gestures.
She was introduced by "Ruili" and is working as a poster girl for "Miracle U".
At this moment, he is wearing a summoner's robe and a pair of red and orange wings, which looks very much like the one on the Victoria's Secret catwalk, but his figure is much different from that of the Victoria's Secret model, and he is completely flat.
"Tilt your head a little to the left, look at the camera, and look a little cuter."
The photographer pressed the shutter button, took a few pictures and looked back.
Pure and smart, the only flaw is that her face is too square and the angle was not right, so it looked like a five-way commercial for KFC's tender beef.
"Okay, next one, quickly see if Zeng Li has put on makeup?"
"Thank you, photography teacher, thank you all teachers."
Yang Mi took a deep breath, returned the scepter prop that weighed several kilograms, and ran back to the dressing room to change.
As soon as she stepped into the door with one foot, she saw Xiaoya jumping excitedly twice, and her voice was so loud that it could be heard outside the door, "Sister Zeng Li, this is great, it's really great, you want to star in a TV series with Jiang Wen
La!"
"Jiang Wen?!"
She stared blankly with her round eyes, stunned on the spot.
Zeng Li was also the same, her eyes were dull, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses. The monster purple wings behind her swayed, and the feathers swayed accordingly.
Xiaoya said softly: "Sister Zeng Li, Mr. Lu seems to treat you better than Mr. Yuanyuan."
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Zeng Li is wearing a suit of armor and battle skirt, and her heroic appearance is very much like the spy of the Valkyrie Kyle.
Xiaoya stuck out her tongue and handed over the big sword numbly.
"You, I'm too spoiled to you."
Zeng Li pretended to be calm and poked the assistant with her finger. She seemed angry but smiled, feeling happy but with a hint of sadness in her heart.
The two walked out chatting and laughing, and met Yang Mi standing at the door. She quickly bent down and said politely: "Sister Zeng Li, I'm your fan, senior Lu Fei's junior schoolmate."
"Lu Fei's schoolgirl?"
Zeng Li couldn't help but look at him a few more times, her eyes slightly complicated. She smiled and extended an invitation to drink coffee and chat together when the work was over.
Looking at her back as she walked away, Yang Mi's face was filled with envy and ambition. I can take her place!
A week later, the posters of "Miracle U" endorsed by real people were completed one after another, and were distributed to members of the Internet Cafe Alliance formed by Penguin ahead of the promotional advertisements.
The leading Yunfei Internet Cafe immediately put on brand new posters. Zeng Li's Magic Swordsman, Gao Yuanyuan's Holy Mentor, Jay Chou's Warriors, etc. appeared on the walls. The popularity of the game continued to increase with the invitation codes for the internal beta, and soon after
skyrocketing.
With unprecedented attention, the 15-day closed beta test of "Miracle U" ended. A total of 100,000 people played it online. Any bugs that appeared were patched and upgraded in time before the official launch.
The short gap period is like letting a smoker quit smoking intermittently. Players are eagerly waiting for it, word of mouth spreads, and the virus spreads. It has been regarded by many people as the most anticipated online game in 2002.
At the end of June, during the World Cup semi-finals, the game was officially released for public beta.
When the players rushed to the Internet cafe to grab a machine, they saw a huge display board outside the door that read:
"While the public beta is in progress, Wanjia Internet Cafe has a passionate experience. You play the game and I pay the bill.
Don’t have a computer at home? No problem! We have prepared a computer for you and you can use it for free.
Don’t understand online games? It’s not a problem. We have prepared a cute and handsome GG to teach you how to get started with the game...
There are 10,000 Internet cafes across the country, and the official website has successively announced the locations and times of Internet cafes in various places to participate in free trial activities.
Tens of millions of free subsidies! It’s better to act than to think!”
In an instant, it quickly spread from the game circle to the IT circle, and everyone was dumbfounded. Is it chartered for players? Which one is Mr. Lu playing?
