My ex is a queen, I'm on fire

"What's wrong with tissues?"

Lin Nian looked suspicious.

"You'll find out soon."

Chen Wenhan gave it a try. The journey to the hotel took about half an hour. For a mature actor like Lin Nian who often reads scripts, a story of about 20,000 words can basically be read.

Next, there was a long silence in the nanny's car. For about twenty minutes, Lin Nian put down his phone. However, the scene that Chen Wenhan expected of Lin Nian being moved to tears did not appear.

"The story is indeed very touching, but judging from the current trend of the film market, it may be difficult to sell this film. The theme is too heavy. Most audiences now prefer lighter films."

Lin Nian expressed his opinion.

"This is indeed a problem."

Chen Wenhan really didn't consider the box office. The reason why he wrote this script was mainly because he was moved by the story of Yu Zhenzhen and her father, and that's why he wanted to film this story.

Hearing what Lin Nian said, he immediately reacted.

A good story doesn't mean it can sell for money. There simply aren't too many movies that are either well-received or not popular.

"So, costs need to be controlled."

Chen Wenhan rubbed his chin and said, "Fortunately, this film doesn't have many roles, and there aren't many big scenes. With a newcomer like Youyou as the heroine, and paired with some veteran actors, the cost of the film should be very low."

"I'll play Ami."

Lin Nian said suddenly.

"Well?"

Chen Wenhan was startled, then smiled and said: "Don't make trouble, I can't afford Queen Lin's salary."

"I can star in it for zero pay."

Lin Nian shrugged lightly.

"Zero pay?"

Chen Wenhan looked at Lin Nian in surprise, and then said with a smile: "Nian Nian, although we have this kind of relationship, I am embarrassed to use you as free labor."

"So, I want to take the box office dividends."

A sly smile flashed across Lin Nian's face.

? ? ?

Chen Wenhan had a question mark on his face. He had just said that this film was probably a success but not a box office success.

Now Lin Nian actually proposed to share the box office dividends.

Chen Wenhan was stunned by this operation.

"Let's take a gamble!"

"Although audiences generally like light-hearted themes nowadays, there will always be people who will pay for a good story." Lin Nian said with a smile.

Chen Wenhan always feels that Queen Lin is digging a hole for herself. First, the film may not be optimistic about the box office due to its heavy subject matter, but now it wants box office dividends.

However, with someone like Lin Nian, it is not too much to make such a request.

Lin Nian's external film salary quotation is 20 million.

But that doesn't mean that getting 20 million will definitely lead to Lin Nian being hired. She has to look at the production team to take the role. If the production team can't give her more money, she won't go.

Lin Nian is one of the few actresses in China with box office appeal. If she participates, she will not only save a lot of publicity expenses, but also have the most basic guarantee of box office.

Calculating it this way, Lin Nian's box office dividend is still worth it, which is equivalent to Lin Nian and the producer sharing the risk of box office failure.

"Of course it's good to have Queen Lin in charge, but in this case, wouldn't you, my cousin, take over the role of my cousin?"

Chen Wenhan teased with a smile.

"Stop inflaming our sisters' feelings."

Lin Nian rolled his eyes and refused to accept this trick at all: "Yuyou is still a student at school. If she is the heroine for the first time on the big screen, the starting point is too high."

"Once the movie becomes popular, she is likely to become bloated and have an unbalanced mentality."

"But if the movie hits the market, her self-confidence will definitely be greatly affected, and her mentality will also be easily unbalanced."

"She is still young, and she still has to walk step by step. She cannot become fat in one bite!"

Lin Nian's words were very sincere and reasonable.

As the saying goes, "Parents who love their children must seek long-term care for them."

As Lin Youyou's cousin, Lin Nian has experience in the entertainment industry. He has seen too many newcomers who are inflated because of their high starting point, and none of them end well in the end.

"I'll play the adult Ami, let Yoyo play the young Ami!" Lin Nian added.

Chen Wenhan smiled and nodded: "That's a good idea. You sisters are somewhat similar, except that Youyou's little face still has a little baby fat."

The two reached a preliminary consensus, and the car stopped at this time.

Chen Wenhan and Lin Nian walked into the private restaurant with their respective assistants. When they heard that they had arrived, the boss personally welcomed them out and sent the group into the box.

At this time, there were about ten people in the box. The person sitting in the main seat was director Wang Xiong. The actor Pang Yunfei of "Shadowless Knife" sat to his left. The two seats on the right were both empty and must have been reserved for Lin Nian and Chen Wenhan.

As soon as the two entered the room, everyone led by Wang Xiong immediately stood up and said hello.

Even Pang Yunfei, who had a grudge against Chen Wenhan on the set, was very polite on the surface.

Although there are many intrigues in the entertainment industry, when there is no direct conflict of interest, everyone is generally unwilling to make enemies.

After all, the network of relationships in the entertainment industry is complicated, and you don’t know what kind of power is behind them.

The purpose of tonight's meal is not just a party, but mainly to discuss some details of tomorrow's premiere.

Wang Xiong hopes that Chen Wenhan can sing the theme song he wrote for the movie "Swords Like Dreams" at tomorrow's premiere.

In fact, this theme song was already released as background music when the official Weibo of "Shadowless Knife" released the third trailer last week.

Although this song is not as popular as the original "Cool and Cool", it has also received numerous praises.

Everyone's evaluation of the song "Sword is Like a Dream" is highly consistent with the martial arts film "Wu Ying Knife".

With the soul-stirring theme song and the rather retro movie style, the taste is just right. Fans who like martial arts have long been looking forward to this movie.

As for Wang Xiong's request, Chen Wenhan did not refuse. Although there was no charge for his guest appearance in "Wu Ying Dao", the theme song "Sword Like a Dream" sold for 3 million, not including the subsequent dividend income.

The price is really not low.

After all the money was taken, it wasn't right to sing the theme song at the premiere.

After chatting about tomorrow's premiere, Wang Xiong dragged Chen Wenhan into chatting, and had another drink from time to time.

Chatting and chatting, Chen Wenhan talked about "Hitch the Wrong Car", and hoped that Wang Xiong could recommend some suitable actors for him.

Although Wang Xiong's reputation in the market is not very good, he still has nothing to say about his professional ability, otherwise he would not be able to be active in the front line all the time.

Especially in the aspect of knowing people and choosing actors, he has rich experience.

After Wang Xiong roughly read the character introduction of "Hitch the Wrong Car", he immediately mentioned three actors who are suitable for "dumb uncle", and Chen Wenhan kept these names in his heart

It was a great meal.

It was past midnight when everyone left the private restaurant.

Lin Nian sent the slightly drunk Chen Wenhan back to the hotel.

"Nian Nian, do you want to go up and have a cup of tea?"

When getting off the car, Chen Wenhan pointed to the main entrance of the hotel with a smile.

Lin Nian responded with Chen Wenhan's rolling eyes: "I dare not drink Teacher Chen's tea."

"Go to rest early, there will be a premiere tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, you should rest early too"

Chen Wenhan spread his arms and walked into the hotel with Zhang Xiaomei's support.

Lin Nian did not leave immediately, but sat in the nanny's car and watched Chen Wenhan enter the hotel lobby. After his figure disappeared completely, he ordered the driver to drive.

"Sister Nian, the relationship between Mr. Chen and that assistant seems not simple."

When the nanny car drove a certain distance, Lin Nian's assistant Fang Xiaoxiao said in a low voice.

"Why isn't it simple?"

Lin Nian asked with interest.

"The way Zhang Xiaomei looked at Teacher Chen was wrong. It didn't look like an employee looking at the boss. Moreover, the behavior of the two of them was too intimate. Take the action of Zhang Xiaomei helping Teacher Chen into the hotel just now. She obviously had a choice. In a way with less physical contact, however, she bound herself to Teacher Chen without any scruples, which is too abnormal."

Fang Xiaoxiao turned into Fang Holmes to analyze the clues of the two.

But after listening to her analysis, Lin Nian smiled: "At this time, your IQ is above the line."

"It's mainly because it's too obvious!" Fang Xiaoxiao pouted.

Lin Nian smiled helplessly, as if talking to himself, and seemed to be responding to Fang Xiaoxiao: "Men are young children who will always be attracted by all kinds of new toys. Of course I went home."
