Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 174 172. Men can also be bent over by money.

In the quiet cafe, Chen Li'an took a sip of the unauthentic latte, frowned and put it down again.

Ning Jing sat opposite and read the script intently. She only took a sip of the coffee in front of her and left it untouched.

Chen Li'an waited quietly for Ning Jing to finish reading. Looking at her expression, he felt that she should be quite interested. If the script impressed her, Honghe River Valley should be able to get investment a few months in advance.

There are currently very few scripts and roles that interest Chen Li'an, so naturally he doesn't want to miss them if he encounters them. If he hadn't been unwilling to be a literary copywriter, he would have been thinking about writing the script himself.

After all, Chen Li'an still has his own arrogance and is unwilling to do many things. There is no need to graft other people's achievements onto his own.

The only act of plagiarism was when he sang a song in front of the princess that day. Chen Li'an still regrets it now.

If he is a person with no talents and no golden fingers, he will definitely become a copywriter to make a fortune. In order to live without shame,

Just when Chen Li'an was in a daze, Ning Jing finished reading the script, picked up the coffee and put it down just as she was about to take a sip. She looked at Chen Li'an and said, "I have heard of this script. Feng Xiaoning tried to attract investment in the factory but failed, but this is my first time." When I saw the script, I didn’t expect it to be well written.”

"Yes, it's a very good script. I don't understand why Shanghai Film Studio didn't invest." Chen Li'an was a little surprised by Shanghai Film Studio's operation. He obviously invested in it later, so why didn't he agree at the beginning.

Chen Li'an didn't know the specific things inside. He didn't know if Feng Xiaoning later obtained investment from other places and then bought the factory logo from Shanghai Film Studio.

Ning Jing flipped through the script again, then looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "Are you planning to invest? And then you want me to act?"

"No, I don't have that much money to invest." Chen Li'an laughed at himself, and then said: "I am very interested in that role. Although he is not the male lead, I like this kind of role of ethnic minorities fighting against the war."

"So?" Ning Jing looked at Chen Li'an doubtfully and said with some surprise: "You don't expect me to invest, do you? I don't have any money either."

Actors really don't make much money these days. It's impossible for Ning Jing to have that much money to invest in a movie. She's not a top actress like Gong Li, who can earn a lot of money from movies and commercials.

Chen Li'an looked at Ning Jing's surprised expression and smiled and said, "Of course not, I hope you can recommend it to the factory."

After hearing what Chen Li'an meant, Ning Jing finally understood. She looked at him speechlessly and said, "You really know how to go around in circles for this role."

"There is no way. If Feng Xiaoning is not from Shanghai Film Studio, I will take the script and go to Beijing Film Studio with Feng Xiaoning." Chen Li'an explained helplessly.

Competition between film studios does exist, and actors do not have so many restrictions, but directors are different. They are precious production materials!

This is also the reason why many film studio directors seek investment from private capital rather than from other film studios.

The simplest question is, who owns the movie after it’s finished? Whose factory logo is on the opening of the film?

Ning Jing looked at Chen Li'an for a while before saying, "Okay, I'll give it a try later, but I'm not sure if it will work. Even if the factory invests, I'm not sure if they will use you."

"It's okay, just do your best and let fate. It doesn't matter if you miss it in the end." After taking a sip of coffee, Chen Li'an frowned and said, "I just like it. It's not to the point where I have to act. Otherwise, I would have invested in it myself."

"Don't you have no money?" Ning Jing wondered if Chen Li'an was afraid of losing money, so he tricked her into cheating the factory.

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "I really don't have any money, so I have invested all my money. But if you want to invest, you can still get two to three million."

Two or three million is not two or three hundred yuan. Can you stop saying it so easily?

Ning Jing couldn't help but think about how Jiang Wen was looking for investment in order to shoot Sunny Days. She looked at Chen Li'an and said, "You're not also borrowing money from your confidante, are you?"

Chen Li'an: "Of course not!" You are indeed right, but I won't admit it!

Ning Jing curled her lips and said, "How else could you get so much money? After all, men will be bent over by money."

Chen Li'an knew that Ning Jing was alluding to Jiang Wen, and he was probably still angry that he and Jiang Wen broke up because of Liu Xiaoqing's interference. Of course, he probably had more objections to Jiang Wen.

Seeing Ning Jing's angry look, Chen Li'an said with a smile: "You are really wrong about that. A man without ability will be beaten to his knees, but a man with ability is not afraid of borrowing money at all, because he is confident that he can make more money. Give it back."

"However, I will definitely remember this person who believes in me and is willing to lend me money."

Listening to Chen Li'an's words, Ning Jing snorted, knowing that he was right, and silently turned the coffee cup after taking only one sip.

After a while, Ning Jing said: "I will help you ask about the script later, and I will also tell Feng Xiaoning that you were the one who arranged it, but will you keep it in mind if I help you?"

"Yes." Chen Li'an replied matter-of-factly.

Ning Jing sighed and said, "Okay, let's leave this matter as it is. If it's okay, I'll leave. I'll continue to promote it tomorrow."

After saying that, Ning Jing looked at Chen Li'an complainingly and said, "You are also the male lead after all, and you don't even come to promote it."

"Are you envious that I can be lazy?" Chen Li'an teased with a smile, and then said: "Then I'll trouble you about the Red River Valley. I won't delay you going back to rest."

"Let's go." Ning Jing stood up, looked at Chen Li'an and said, "If this matter comes to pass, don't forget to owe me a favor."

"No problem. Whenever you want me to return this favor, just ask." Chen Li'an said with a smile.

Ning Jing waved her hands, picked up her bag and left.

After Ning Jing left, Chen Li'an asked the waiter to pay. While paying, he complained: "Your coffee is too unauthentic."

The waiter smiled awkwardly, took the money and said welcome to come again next time, but in his heart he was wondering whether Kubulaji's food was authentic or not.

After Chen Li'an returned home in the evening, he went to the study to knead mud. This thing is addictive.

While Chen Li'an was pinching the mud, Chen Meiren was at home looking at the account books and settling accounts. After a busy day on the set, she realized that being a producer was much more difficult than being an actor.

However, the rewards were also great. Chen Meiren found that being a producer was more suitable for her than being an actress.

The directors and actors on the crew were very kind to her when they saw her, and they also had a lot of power in the crew. After all, they controlled the money bag. Although the director was the biggest in the crew, they would tell her what the director wanted to do and where to spend money. A sound.

After working as a producer for one day, Chen Meiren felt the improvement of her class and the feeling of gaining power. This is even more fascinating than acting.

There are also classes in the entertainment industry. Investors and producers are much higher than actors.

After Chen Meiren calculated the accounts for a while, she couldn't help but take out her phone and call Chen Li'an. She was very excited and wanted to share her happiness with Chen Li'an.

The call was connected after a while, and Chen Meiren immediately said excitedly: "My dear, where are you? Do you have time now? Can you come to my house to find me?"

Beauty Chen's series of questions made Chen Li'an put down the carving knife in his hand and asked strangely: "What happened to you to make you so happy?"

"I'll tell you when you come to my house." Chen Meiren was afraid that Chen Li'an would be too lazy to go out and said, "I can go to your house, just give me the specific address."

Chen Li'an thought for a moment and said, "I'll go find you. Do you want a midnight snack? I'll take some with me."

"Okay!" Chen Meiren responded immediately, and then added: "Buy a few more bottles of wine, I want to let myself go tonight!"

Listening to Chen Meiren's voice, Chen Li'an could really feel her excitement and happiness, so he put down the carving knife in his hand, simply packed it up and went out.

More than an hour later, Chen Li'an looked at Beauty Chen who was flushed from drinking. He couldn't help but rub her head, pinch her chin and said, "I can't tell you like being a strong woman so much. I thought you liked it more." Be a good wife and mother."

Chen Meiren hugged Chen Li'an's neck and smiled happily. She blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "I like it all. Are you willing to give me a chance to be a good wife and mother?"

"You, you drank too much." Chen Li'an looked at Beauty Chen in confusion, and then asked, "Do you want to take a bath?"

The light in Chen Meiren's eyes dimmed a bit, then she coiled herself around Chen Li'an's waist like an octopus and said, "Okay, you can carry me."

Early the next morning, before Chen Li'an woke up, Chen Meiren had already packed up. She gave Chen Li'an a good morning kiss and hurried to the set.

When Chen Li'an woke up, he couldn't help but smile when he saw the note left by Beauty Chen.

In the future, there will be another beautiful producer in the industry. In a few years, she may be a film and television boss. I wonder if Beauty Chen will be more charming by then.

Chen Li'an was suddenly looking forward to it, and couldn't help but imagine what Beauty Chen looked like in professional attire.

Chen Meiren had her own affairs to be busy with, so naturally Chen Li'an would not be idle. Taking advantage of the fact that he was not far from Huguo Temple, he went directly to the studio to take a look.

This will be the birthplace of his first real installation art. After Chen Li'an walked around the courtyard a few times, the ideas in his mind became clearer and clearer, and he couldn't wait to start creating now.

I just thought that my sculpture skills were just getting started, so I suppressed the desire and inspiration in my heart, suppressed this impulse, and waited until the actual creation time to burst out.

When doing installation art in a courtyard, it is natural to have the characteristics of a courtyard. After Chen Li'an returned home, he took out his paintbrush and started recording his inspirations.

After working for more than two hours, Chen Li'an put down his pen, looked at the sketch on the drawing paper, and couldn't help laughing.

The messy design on the drawing paper does look a bit nondescript, but Chen Li'an is confident that it will be completely different after completion.

This courtyard house will definitely become a benchmark for the combination of traditional and modern art!

After Chen Li'an solemnly put away the design draft, he sat in the study and picked up the carving knife to continue brushing up on his proficiency.

Cheng Shufen, who is far away in France, has just finished a concert by Jacky Cheung. She is walking on the streets of Paris and looking at the luxury stores on the Champs Elysees. She suddenly seems to have caught something in her mind, and suddenly thinks of the past few days. When I went to the Pipondu Art and Cultural Center, a flash of inspiration suddenly exploded in my mind.

I got it! Thinking of how to impress Chen Li'an!

Cheng Shufen couldn't help but get excited, and even felt that her idea would be more powerful and have commercial value than creating a superstar!

"Chen Li'an will definitely become a benchmark in the hearts of one generation or even several generations in the future!"
