Chapter 123 121. Am I That Casual?

It is absolutely impossible to eat soft rice!

No matter how poor Chen Li'an is, he would never spend a woman's money. How can a man eat soft food, no matter how delicious it is!

But Zhang Guorong really hoped that Chen Li'an could eat soft rice, and only eat the soft rice of Wang Zuxian alone, so it seems that he is embarrassed to go out and prostitute!

Chen Li'an has a lot of money. It's only [-]. With a bank balance of several million, he won't be so poor that he can eat soft food.

However, after earning so much money, it is really inconvenient to live in a courtyard. It is too inconvenient to have no darkroom or studio.

And you have to buy a scooter. Taking a taxi is very inconvenient. Sometimes it takes half an hour to get a taxi. There are relatively few taxis in Beijing.

"How many days are you going to Beijing Film Studio tomorrow?" Chen Li'an asked as he drank all the wine in his glass.

Zhang Guorong tore off the mask on his face and said, "It will be fine at nine o'clock, and I will try on makeup tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Chen Li'an was a little puzzled, looked at Zhang Guorong and asked: "The director has never met me, so you gave me this role with just one word?"

"Otherwise." Zhang Guorong patted his face and said arrogantly: "I am Zhang Guorong, just a small character."

Chen Li'an: "." You are awesome!
Zhang Guorong shuddered for a moment, and then said: "Actually, Director Cheng also contributed a lot. He spoke well for you at Beijing Film Studio."

"Cheng Dao?" Chen Li'an frowned, wondering why Cheng Dao suddenly helped him.

Zhang Guorong actually doesn't quite understand, Cheng Dao is not such a warm-hearted person, there must be a purpose for doing this, as for the purpose, it's hard to say, maybe he fell in love with Chen Li'an
However, it is not as simple as Zhang Guorong said that this role can fall on Chen Li'an. The producer will naturally consider all aspects.

The film itself is a co-production, and it is inevitable to use mainland actors, but who is naturally very important.

Good looks, reasonable acting skills are the most basic, of course, the premise is that the actor is from Beijing Film Studio.

After all, this movie was shot together with Beijing Film Studio, and it also used the largest studio in Beijing Film Studio, so there must be a resource exchange.

Beijing Film Studio itself did not recommend many actors, and Mr. Huang was the first choice, but Zhang Guorong stepped in and suggested Chen Li'an, and Beijing Film Studio was surprised for a while.

Many people in Beijing Film Studio have heard of Chen Li'an's reputation.

The most mysterious student of Nortel. A cutting-edge artist. The second male lead of Cheng Dao's new film. The gossip object of Gong Li and Cheng Meiren.
With so many strange and unreliable names put together, how many people in the circle have never heard of Chen Li'an's name?

Of course, most people know about Chen Li'an because of his gossip with Gong Li and Cheng Meiren
Beijing Film Studio originally wanted to promote Mr. Huang, but hesitated after facing the number one genius like Chen Li'an.

This also counts as my own family, students from Nortel, they can be directly assigned to Beijing Film Studio after graduation.

Moreover, both Zhang Guorong and Cheng Dao recommended it, so it was hard to disregard others' face.

One is the producer representing Xiangjiang, and the other is a top director with a strong domestic reputation. Beijing Film Studio also has to give face.

Speaking of which, Chen Li'an was quite lucky to be able to take this role.

Zhang Guorong, who was doing skin care in the living room, watched Chen Li'an pour himself another glass of red wine, and couldn't help urging: "I'm going to bed, why don't you leave, don't forget tomorrow at nine o'clock."

Chen Li'an looked at the yawning Zhang Guorong, so he had no choice but to drink the red wine in his glass in one gulp, get up and leave.

In the early morning of the next day, Chen Li'an was still sleeping, and Qiao Linmu got up early, time was running out, now hurry back to Yangcheng to set up the factory, there has been a lot of news in Guangzhou Province that someone is planning to make VCD.

Chen Li'an got up from the bed when he heard the movement, and when he came out, he saw Qiao Linmu packing his luggage and asked, "Second Uncle, are you leaving today?"

"Why don't you leave." Qiao Linmu said while tidying up: "Everything is settled, you can just remit the money later, time waits for no one."

Looking at Qiao Linmu's chubby body, Chen Li'an always felt that such mobility should not appear on him, but he still said: "Let's play for a few more days, and I plan to buy some gifts for my sister and aunt today for you to take home Woolen cloth."

Qiao Linmu zipped up the leather bag, raised his head and said, "Yangcheng has everything, you don't need it, you can go about your own business."

Seeing that the second uncle was in such a hurry to go back, Chen Li'an didn't say anything, and said with his wallet in his pocket, "Then I'll go buy some breakfast later."

"Okay, hurry up, I have to go to the airport at 09:30." Qiao Linmu urged, full of energy, as if rejuvenated.

Chen Li'an smiled, and then ran out to buy breakfast. The old BJ had a lot of breakfasts, and Chen Li'an bought several, such as coke rings, deep-fried dough sticks, fried liver, steamed stuffed buns, tofu nao
No matter what, I can't let the second uncle fly on a hungry stomach, right?

While eating breakfast, Qiao Linmu looked around Chen Li'an's small room and said, "I'm free these few days to go out and look at the house. It's hard to find a wife if you live here."

"Yeah, I got it." Chen Li'an replied with a sigh of relief, the house must be bought, but there is no time to look at it now.

Buying a house these days is not an easy task. It’s okay to talk about an apartment, but it’s troublesome to buy a courtyard house.

Chen Li'an plans to buy two apartments and a courtyard house. If he has a good friend who has no land to live in, it will be a rescue, right?

Qiao Linmu took a bite of the steamed stuffed bun and said, "As long as you know it yourself, you will be 22 this year, so talk to a girlfriend earlier."

After nagging, Qiao Linmu asked again: "You asked Zhang Guorong yesterday and he didn't agree, who are you going to ask to shoot the commercial?"

Chen Li'an wiped the fried liver soup from his mouth and said: "Don't worry, I'll call and ask later, I'm sure I can find it, you go back and make a finished product first, otherwise you won't have any products for advertising."

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible. You should also take care of this matter. If you want to make a new brand famous, you need to promote it well." Qiao Linmu responded.

After Qiao Linmu and Cheng Liang could finish their breakfast, they took a taxi to the airport, and Chen Li'an also packed up and went to Beijing Film Studio.

It has been 20 years since the Beijing Film Studio moved to the third ring road. In the first [-] years, the Beijing Film Studio was located in the suburbs, surrounded by farmland and pig pens, but now it is considered a relatively lively place on the third ring road.

The third ring road was fully opened to traffic last year, and this year's third ring road was really lively. Chen Li'an remembered that there were still a lot of wasteland here in the first two years.

At the entrance of the North Film Studio, Chen Li'an was stopped by the guard in the security room just as he wanted to go in.

"Hey! That kid, why did you come here?" The man in the guard room leaned out of the window and called Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an turned his head to take a look, walked over and said politely, "Master, I'm a student from Nortel. I accepted a play, and I'm here to start work today."

"Do you have proof? A letter of recommendation or something." Looking at Chen Li'an's handsome face, the uncle didn't doubt him, but he still asked.

Chen Li'an froze for a moment, then took out the phone from his trouser pocket and said, "I really didn't bring it, sir, wait for me to make a call."

After the uncle in the security room glanced at the phone in Chen Li'an's hand and his attire, his eyes flickered behind the reading glasses and he said, "Don't bother, tell me which movie it is?"

"Singing in the middle of the night, the crew from Xiangjiang." Chen Li'an put down the phone and said.

The uncle let out a sigh, hesitated for a while and said, "Okay, then you can come and sign and go in."

This saves trouble, Chen Li'an leaned on the edge of the window and took the pen handed over by the uncle, signed the register and went in.

The uncle in the guard room looked at the back of Chen Li'an leaving, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know which compound came out from again."

"But he's really handsome, and he's sure to become a big star." The uncle laughed happily, then sat back on his chair and took out the newspaper to continue reading.

Chen Li'an didn't expect that one day his life would be treated as a courtyard, but he was right, a courtyard is also a courtyard, and the people who came out of the courtyard of the workers and peasant brothers were no worse than those who came out of the courtyard where the cadres lived!That's it!
If this is said, it is estimated that people will laugh to death, but who knows this little episode.

After Chen Li'an asked a few people in the Beijing Film Studio, he successfully found the floor where the Midnight Singing crew was located.

Knocking on the door and going in, it was quite lively inside. There were several people sitting in twos and threes in the meeting room.

But Chen Li'an only knew one, no, two, Zhang Guorong and Wu Qianlian.

When Zhang Guorong saw Chen Li'an coming in, he immediately put down his raised Erlang legs, stood up and shouted: "Li'an, come here."

Several people in the room focused their eyes on Chen Li'an, and the director Yu Rentai also took a few glances, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Chen Li'an walked up to Zhang Guorong and nodded, then turned his gaze to Yu Rentai who was sitting on the chair and didn't stand up, his pupils shrank slightly.

This director seems to have a little physical problem, and it is not very convenient to move.

Zhang Guorong smiled and introduced Chen Li'an, "This is Chen Li'an, isn't he pretty!"

Yu Rentai sat on the chair and nodded to Chen Li'an, and said, "I am the director of this movie, Yu Rentai."

Chen Li'an looked at Yu Rentai standing up with his hands up, stretched out his hand and said, "Chen Li'an, I am very glad to be able to cooperate with Director Yu. I have watched the white-haired witch several times when I met the year before last."

Yu Rentai and Chen Li'an shook hands, then said with a smile, "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Zhang Guorong interrupted at this time: "Wow, no, have you seen the white-haired witch? Why haven't I heard you say that?"

"I've seen it, why tell you, let you show off." Chen Li'an replied.

The White-haired Witch was played by Zhang Guorong and Lin Qingxia. Chen Li'an had indeed seen it a few times, but he hadn't told Zhang Guorong about it, lest he think he was his fan.

Wu Qianlian next to him looked at Chen Li'an who was joking with Zhang Guorong, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I am Wu Qianlian."

"Chen Li'an, nice to meet you." Chen Li'an and Wu Qianlian also shook hands, and then said with a smile: "I really like the man and woman you played last year, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to cooperate with you."

"Thank you for your liking. Director Li took the picture well." Wu Qianlian said modestly, but the corners of her mouth still slightly raised.

Seeing Chen Li'an being so talkative, the other people in the room turned their minds slightly, as long as they were easy to get along with, they were afraid that the male number two who had suddenly appeared would be difficult to deal with.

Han Shanping, director of Beijing Film Studio, who had just been in office for a year, looked at Chen Li'an, curious about this up-and-coming star in Beijing's film circle, whether it was an actor who came to engage in art, or an artist who came to be an actor.

Han Shanping nodded at Chen Li'an and said, "Chen Li'an, I've heard your name many times recently, do you want to come to Beijing Film Studio?"

Chen Li'an is still very familiar with Han Shanping's face, and others can recognize it without introduction, and said with a smile: "Hello, Director Han, I'm only a freshman, and I'll talk about it after graduation, but I still yearn for Beijing Film Studio. "

"You recognize me?" Han Shanping was a little surprised and looked at Chen Li'an strangely.

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "I'm a student of Nortel, so it's not surprising that I know the director of Beijing Film Studio."

Hearing Chen Li'an's answer, Han Shanping smiled and said, "Haha, it's not surprising to say that."

Several people laughed along, and after a while, they officially started working.

Today's task is mainly to try on the makeup, it's very simple, the crew from Xiangjiang is not too efficient compared to Director Chen's efficiency.

In less than two hours, all the makeup trials were completed. Chen Li'an looked down at the long gown on his body, feeling a little bit pain in the head, why is it a long gown again.

Since I am not Kong Yiji, why can't I take off my long gown?

Chen Li'an, who couldn't take off his long gown, looked at Zhang Guorong, who was handsome in a suit and windbreaker, and sighed, why did he always act like this for Zhang Guorong as the male second.
In the last movie, I played a servant in a long gown, and Zhang Guorong played a playboy brother. In this movie, I played a young actor in a long gown, and Zhang Guorong played a famous opera star.

Whether it's character modeling or identity, the gap is so scary, it's simply unreasonable.

Chen Li'an said depressingly: "Next time I beat you to death, I won't be your male second."

Zhang Guorong, who was looking at himself in the mirror, suddenly understood when he turned his head to look at the long gown on Chen Li'an's body. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Who made you not as handsome as me!"

Chen Li'an: "Won't your conscience ache?" You opened your eyes and told nonsense!dishonest!
Hearing the inexplicable conversation between the two, Wu Qianlian was a little puzzled, but she was not familiar with Zhang Guorong and Chen Li'an, so it was not easy to interrupt and ask.

Zhang Guorong glanced at Wu Qianlian and took the initiative to explain: "In the last film, he just wore a long gown and I wore a suit. This one is the same. He is jealous, haha."

Hearing Zhang Guorong's explanation, Wu Qian smiled pitifully, looked at Chen Li'an who was wearing a long gown and said, "You look good in a long gown."

"Thank you." Chen Li'an smiled and said, "You still have vision, unlike some people who are very narcissistic."

Zhang Guorong looked at Chen Li'an, who was exuding charm again, and quickly stood between the two of them, and deliberately dragged Chen Li'an to the side and said, "Don't mess around! I promised Zuxian to watch you!"

Chen Li'an looked at Zhang Guorong with question marks all over his face and said, "What the hell did I do?"

"Put that smile away! Don't try to seduce Wu Qianlian!" Zhang Guorong warned.

Chen Li'an said depressedly: "... Am I that casual?" Am I that kind of person?Am I a man who will seduce others casually!
"Have!"
