Zhou Yi told Lu Chen on the phone that Honghua's Jiang Chenghua invited an old man to admit his defeat to Lu Chen and planned to hold a banquet at the Genting Hotel tomorrow night to apologize to Lu Chen in person!
This senior has a high reputation in the industry, and Zhou Yi is considered his junior. Jiang Chenghua probably paid a very high price for bringing this god out, and it also proved his sincerity.
Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll give Senior some face and make it to the appointment on time tomorrow night."
"That's great!"
Zhou Yi said with a smile: "Jiang Chenghua almost knocked his head to the ground, but we can't kill them all to make peace and make money."
"By the way, when will our crew restart filming?"
Zhou Yi is actually a proud and arrogant person, but his pride has always been hidden in his bones and he will not show it easily. There are really not many people in the Hong Kong industry circle who can catch his eye.
But for Lu Chen, a young man who is more than ten years younger than him, he is really convinced now. The original little thoughts have long gone, and he sincerely wants to continue this cooperation.
Lu Chen replied: "We will resume filming today."
Time is precious and cannot be wasted. It was delayed by Honghua for a week. The financial loss is secondary. The key is that it disrupted the shooting plan, which made Lu Chen quite annoyed.
Now that Jiang Chenghua has admitted his defeat, it is natural for the crew to resume filming today.
Zhou Yi asked with concern: "Have you found the actor who plays the tree spirit grandma?"
Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a little strange.
Although Zhou Yi acquired Jiayang Pictures and became the boss of this old film company, he actually didn't understand movies. Naturally, he left all specific matters to his professionals and never paid attention to the details.
Lu Chen had dealt with him several times and had a certain understanding of him, so he felt very puzzled: "Not yet, but it doesn't affect the resumption of filming today. Is there any problem?"
Zhou Yi said a little helplessly: "It's nothing. It's just Liu Zhaohui who came to me and said that he wanted to return to the crew. He also said that he would serve you tea and apologize. He is an old friend of one of my relatives. He burst into tears with snot and tears.
beg me"
Liu Siu Fai was the actor originally recommended by Jiayang Pictures to play the role of the tree spirit grandma. Like Ma Rongzhen, he is an experienced veteran actor.
It's just that old actors may not have character. Under the threat of Honghua and Jiang, he was the first to retreat.
Now I regret and want to return to the set, no doubt because I heard the rumors.
Lu Chen replied without hesitation: "I can't afford this person, so why don't you come back for me?"
Are you kidding? If such a person is allowed to come back, what will the people who remain on the crew think?
Lu Chen is not an unprincipled good man!
Zhou Yi was not surprised at all by Lu Chen's rejection. He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll turn him away. Actually, he didn't say he had to come back, he's just a little scared."
Lu Chen thought for a moment and immediately understood what Zhou Yi meant.
Liu Zhaohui was afraid of Honghua and Jiang, so he voluntarily quit the crew. Now that Lu Chen's side has clearly won a big victory, he was afraid that Lu Chenqiu would settle the score, so he asked Zhou Yi for help.
Returning to the set is not the goal, begging for mercy is the real goal!
After understanding the key, Lu Chen was really disgusted with Liu Zhaohui.
"It's boring not to talk about this person anymore."
Zhou Yi understood: "Okay, let's see you tomorrow night at the Genting Hotel."
After hanging up the phone, Lu Chen said to Filia Chen, who had finished dressing up, "Shall we go?"
Filia Chen was sitting in front of the dressing table, tilting her head and putting on the last earring. She asked curiously: "You still have few actors in your crew?"
Lu Chen nodded and said: "Grandma Dryad, there was originally a candidate, but later she withdrew."
Lu Chen didn’t say much about the specifics. Anyway, Liu Zhaohui was already on his list of people he would never cooperate with!
"Grandma the tree spirit?"
Filia Chen had read the script of "A Chinese Ghost Story", so she quickly remembered: "The villain is the boss!"
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Yes, there are more roles, so I have to choose someone reliable."
He has asked Chen Wenqiang to handle the re-casting, and I believe there will be results soon.
Filia Chen blinked and suddenly said: "I will play the role of the tree spirit grandma, what do you think?"
"ah?"
Lu Chen was caught off guard by her sudden thought: "What did you say?"
Filia Chen laughed and said: "I said I would play the role of the tree spirit grandma. I have half a month's vacation. If I hurry up and finish my scenes during this time, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Of course, time is not a problem. The movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" has a strong story, but the background of the story is blurred and there are very few scenes involved, so it is not complicated to shoot. Everything can be done by the establishment of Lion Rock Film and Television. It is nothing more than
Post-production special effects are a bit more troublesome.
If half a month is spent on Filia Chen, it will be enough!
But Lu Chen didn't even think about it: "How can that work? Doesn't that make you destroy your image? No, no!"
You must know that he originally thought about letting Filia Chen play the role of Nie Xiaoqian, but due to the inconsistent schedule and the audience's aesthetic fatigue problem, Filia Chen did not come to Xiangjiang.
Now she is asked to play the role of the tree spirit grandma. This change of style is too drastic, and Lu Chen is worried that it will have a negative impact on Filia Chen's image.
But Filia Chen is very serious: "I think there is no problem. A real actor cannot be fixed in the same character image forever. If he can play a positive character, he can also play a negative character."
"I am willing to accept this challenge"
After saying that, she stood up and leaned into Lu Chen's arms, and said softly: "You have paid so much for this movie, and I hope I can help you."
In order to film "A Chinese Ghost Story", Lu Chen started to lose weight in a planned way more than a month ago. He has lost more than ten kilograms now. He was not that strong in the first place, so now he looks a little fatter.
The frailty of the writing is in line with the needs of the characters in the play.
He came to Xiangjiang alone to work hard, tried hard to integrate into the circle of Xiangjiang, established Lu Chen Film Studio from scratch, found people to cooperate in planning and filming movies, and encountered provocations from gangs and social groups. This road was not smooth.
.
As Lu Chen's friend, Li Mubai went to war against the Jiang family in the mainland to help Lu Chen deal with his opponents. So, as Lu Chen's closest lover, how could she stand by and watch?
Self-destructive image?
That’s not necessarily the case. A well-acted villain can also enhance his character!
Needless to say, Lu Chen understood Filia Chen's thoughts. He hugged the beauty in his arms and felt happy and peaceful in his heart. He hoped that time would stay at this moment forever. ——
