Stepping into the box, Ma Rongzhen immediately saw Lu Chen sitting in the main seat.
Compared to Wan Xiaoquan and Zhang Xiaofang who were sitting next to him, Lu Chen felt like a star in the night. He could be distinguished from the crowd at a glance and left a deep impression.
First of all, he is handsome. Lu Chen's handsomeness is different from the handsome boys popular in the entertainment industry nowadays. Although he is not so handsome as to be tragic, his facial lines are well-defined, his sword-shaped eyebrows are sharp, his nose is strong, and he has a perseverance and calmness that is rare among young people.
It makes people intuitively feel that he is a trustworthy person.
Is this the boss of the film company?
Ma Rongzhen couldn't believe it and couldn't help but be stunned.
To be honest, Wan Xiaoquan is more like Boss, Lu Chen is his star artist, and it is more normal for him to be the leading actor in the new film.
And just when he was stunned, Lu Chen had already stood up with a smile, took the initiative to step forward and stretched out his hand: "Uncle Ma, I have admired you for a long time!"
After all, Ma Rongzhen was an old man who had been in the industry for decades, so he immediately reacted and held Lu Chen's hand.
"Hello."
Chen Wenqiang lost no time in introducing: "Brother Ma, this is my current boss Lu Chen. He is from the mainland and has just opened a film and television studio in Hong Kong. The office is in Rongjin Building with an area of more than 2,000 square feet."
There is no need to beat the drum hard. Ma Rong is really from Xiangjiang. He understood the meaning of Chen Wenqiang's words as soon as he heard it.
Wing Kam Building is located in the Sai Ying Pun business district of Sihanoukville. Although the rent of office buildings in Sihanoukville is not as good as that of Central and Admiralty, it is surrounded by a large number of TV stations, newspapers and magazines, and film and television entertainment companies. The rent has never been cheap, let alone two thousand square feet.
area.
Chen Wenqiang was hinting at Lu Chen's strength.
Ma Rongzhen was in awe: "It turns out to be Boss Lu. He is really young and promising!"
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Uncle Ma, you are a senior, just call me Lu Chen. Boss Lu or something like that sounds awkward."
Having experienced the ups and downs of life, and being accustomed to the warmth and warmth of people, Ma Rongzhen was really touched by Lu Chen's respect and courtesy. He never expected that someone would call him "senior".
The entertainment circle in Xiangjiang is a circle of red tops and white tops. Everyone admires the popular stars and rejects the outdated artists. The younger generation will not care whether you are a senior or not, only how popular and background you have.
Ma Rongzhen is now hanging out in the Lion Rock Film and Television City, and there are many people who know him. Even an ordinary handyman would dare to yell at him.
Although Lu Chen is from the mainland, with Chen Wenqiang here, it is impossible to know anything about his situation.
It is precisely because of this that Lu Chen's attitude is so precious.
Chen Wenqiang added a few words: "Mr. Lu Chen is a popular star in the Mainland. He has released two solo albums more than a year after his debut, and also filmed two phenomenal TV series. This time he came to Hong Kong to film a movie."
When Ma Rongzhen listened, the feeling in his heart was really beyond words.
He did not doubt that Chen Wenqiang was bragging for Lu Chen, because there was no need to do so. No matter what Lu Chen's status was, as long as he could spend money to hire him to film, it would be enough.
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Let's sit down and talk."
Everyone sat down again, and Chen Wenqiang introduced Wan Xiaoquan and Zhang Xiaofang to Ma Rongzhen.
Ma Rongzhen also introduced "assistant" Xiao Wu to Lu Chen and others.
Xiao Wu sat aside tremblingly, not even daring to take a breath.
He had only seen scenes like this in movies and TV before.
It feels a bit like being in a dream.
Chen Wenqiang called the waiter to order. The menu was given to Lu Chen first. Lu Chen ordered a few at random and then handed it to Ma Rongzhen: "Uncle Ma, you can order whatever you like."
Ma Rongzhen quickly refused: "No, I can eat whatever you want, just order it."
After a pause, he asked tentatively: "Mr. Lu, I wonder if your movie script has been published?"
Lu Chen passed the menu to Chen Wenqiang and said with a smile: "The script has been written a long time ago. If Uncle Ma wants to read it, he can do it now."
He nodded to Zhang Xiaofang, who took out a thick manuscript paper from his briefcase and handed it to Ma Rongzhen.
"Thanks!"
Ma Rongzhen almost couldn't wait to take it and read it.
He was so serious and devoted that he even forgot about the existence of Lu Chen and others. It was not until the waiter brought the first hot dish that he woke up from a dream.
Although he was already hungry and the aroma of the dishes was extremely tempting, Ma Rongzhen's mind was not on eating and drinking at all. He held the script and looked directly at Lu Chen: "Mr. Lu, which screenwriter wrote this script?"
So well written!
Although the story is adapted from "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio", many wonderful elements are added to it. The protagonists have distinct personalities, the characters are lifelike, and the storyline is full of ups and downs.
There is a strange phenomenon in the Hong Kong film and television industry, that is, the scripts are made up randomly, relying entirely on celebrities and idols to make their faces appear cute. The screenwriters are eager for quick success and blindly want to cater to the tastes of the audience, but the results are often counterproductive.
Today's decline of Hong Kong movies is closely related to the lack of great screenwriters.
Most of the outstanding screenwriters of the older generation have withered away.
Ma Rongzhen has been in the industry for decades, has filmed many movies, and has read countless scripts.
And the script of "A Chinese Ghost Story" in his hand evoked Ma Rongzhen's long-lost impulse, which is the impulse of an actor who is eager to try out when he encounters a good script.
The "Yan Chixia" in the script was simply tailor-made for him!
Ma Rong really has a strong feeling that if he misses this movie, he will regret it for the rest of his life!
At this moment, he really wanted to say loudly to Lu Chen: "I will accept this drama, no matter how much money it takes!"
But the remaining reason allowed Ma Rongzhen to restrain his impulse.
Because today, his performance has already lost a lot of points.
If you meet a shrewd boss like that, you can use this to manipulate him.
It's impossible for Ma Rong to really not need money, he still has to support his family.
Chen Wenqiang laughed and said: "The script was written by our boss himself, and he is also the leading actor."
When answering, Chen Wenqiang glanced at Lu Chen and asked Lu Chen for instructions with his eyes.
Lu Chen understood what he meant and nodded slightly.
Chen Wenqiang has a very sharp eye. When he first saw Ma Rongzhen, Lu Chen felt that he was very suitable for the role of Yan Chixia, both in terms of image and temperament.
Of course, his temperament is still lacking a lot now, but I believe it won't be a problem for an experienced actor.
After receiving Lu Chen's approval, Chen Wenqiang's smile became brighter and he continued: "I recommended you to him to play Yan Chixia. I wonder if you are interested?"
Are you interested? Are you interested?
Ma Rongzhen squeezed the script in his hand hard, and a voice roared loudly in his heart.
Make his soul tremble!——
