Chapter 193 191. I am not an actor, I am a sponsor!
"Happy New Year~"

What Chen Lian heard the most while walking in the school was Happy New Year. Without Gong Xi Fa Cai, college students still lack social experience.

What is so joyful about the New Year, obviously Gong Xi Fa Cai is the most important thing!

"do not move!"

Chen Li'an suddenly felt something pressing against his lower back, accompanied by a faint fragrance.

"Xu Jinglei, you are all boring!"

Xu Jinglei withdrew her hand, ran out from behind Chen Li'an with a smile on her face and said with a smile, "Can you hear that?"

"Your perfume betrayed you." Chen Li'an said with a curled lip.

Xu Jinglei smiled even more happily, her eyes were crescent like crescents, and she danced with her back in front of Chen Li'an and said, "I didn't expect you to be so careful, I've only used this perfume twice."

"I'm just more sensitive to smells." Chen Li'an looked at Xu Jinglei's hair blown by the wind, and asked curiously, "Why are you still coming to class every day?"

"The third year is not a graduation, so why not come." Xu Jinglei slowed down and walked side by side with Chen Li'an and said, "And I've been auditing the director's class recently."

"Director class?" Chen Li'an was stunned for a moment and suddenly said: "Forgot, you have already started to be a director."

Xu Jinglei blinked her eyes, and said without any concealment: "It's just by name, and now I can only call "start" and "click."

"That's not bad, I only listen to others shouting "start and click." Chen Li'an joked, then remembered the film team in the director's class, and asked Xu Jinglei: "Is there someone named Jia Zhangke in the director's class?" , set up an electronic music group and made a short film?"

"Do you know him? He's from the Department of Literature, not the Department of Directing." Xu Jinglei thought for a while and said, "I know the short film you mentioned, and I heard it won an award."

Chen Li'an nodded and said, "Someday, please introduce him. I'm quite interested in him."

"I don't know him well, so I'll ask you later, why are you interested in him?" Xu Jinglei looked at Chen Li'an and joked, "I thought you were only interested in girls."

Chen Li'an rolled Xu Jinglei's eyes and said, "Isn't that also disturbed by you?"

"The new year has already begun, do you still remember?" Xu Jinglei said half jokingly and half apologetically: "It's a big deal, I'll make it up to you."

Chen Li'an waved his hand and said, "There's no need for compensation, just don't make trouble on purpose in the future."

"I think I still have to make amends, just tonight, I'll treat you to dinner!" Xu Jinglei quickened her pace and ran away without giving Chen Li'an a chance to refuse.

"If you invite me to dinner, I'm going." Chen Li'an shook his head, and walked towards his classroom.

After entering the classroom, Chen Li'an found that there was no one in the classroom, probably in the dormitory, so Chen Li'an found a random place to sit down, waiting for the first class of the new semester.

Running away after this class can be regarded as giving face to Teacher Li, and it will be fine when I am in the third year, so I won't use it for school.

Not long after, Chen Zihan rushed into the classroom in a hurry, saw Chen Li'an sitting in a corner in a daze, and immediately ran over.

Fortunately, the performance classroom was an empty stage, with tables, chairs and benches attached to the corners of the walls, otherwise Chen Zihan would definitely fall if he ran so fast.

There was no one in the classroom now, and Chen Zihan ran to Chen Li'an without thinking too much, hugged his arm and said, "I knew you were alone in the classroom."

Chen Li'an raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you see it in the dormitory?"

"Yeah!" Chen Zihan nodded, and then said angrily, "I saw you came in with Xu Jinglei, last time she made things difficult on purpose, and you still talked to her!"

Chen Zihan probably ran so fast because she saw Chen Li'an and Xu Jinglei walking together, Chen Li'an explained: "She just apologized, and she won't make things difficult for you next time."

Chen Zihan pursed his lips and said, "Then why didn't she apologize to me, she just wanted to take this opportunity to get close to you."

Seeing Chen Zihan's swollen look, she was quite similar to Li Dabai, except that her figure was not big enough, Chen Li'an couldn't help pinching her face and said, "Don't be angry, I brought you a New Year's gift .”

Chen Li'an took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to Chen Zihan.

Chen Zihan opened it and saw that it was a necklace, and immediately said happily: "Then help me put it on."

Chen Li'an picked up the necklace and went around behind Chen Zihan, looked at her slender swan neck, and put the necklace on for her.

"Does it look good?" Chen Zihan turned around to look at Chen Li'an, and asked by pressing his neckline to reveal the necklace.

Chen Li'an looked at Baibai's necklace and nodded, "It's beautiful!"

bae~
Chen Zihan hugged Chen Li'an's neck and kissed him.

Jiang Qingqing, who had just arrived at the door of the classroom, was stunned when she saw this scene, not knowing whether she should go in or out, feeling embarrassed and angry.

A pair of dogs and men!

Chen Li'an noticed Jiang Qingqing at the door, patted Chen Zihan lightly and said, "Okay, let go first, someone is coming."

"Who?!" Chen Zihan immediately let go of Chen Li'an and looked back. When he found that it was Jiang Qingqing, he snorted and turned around to hug Chen Li'an and kiss him.

Chen Li'an: "." How could someone be so excited? Do you have a habit of this?

Jiang Qingqing's teeth itched in anger, she knew that Chen Zihan did this on purpose for her to see, so why not kiss that villain's worthy expression!I really thought you were better than me at grabbing a man!
Jiang Qingqing originally wanted to go out first to avoid embarrassment, but now she is not leaving. Wouldn't Chen Zihan think that she was afraid?

Jiang Qingqing walked in with a cold face, deliberately sitting not too far away from them.

Chen Zihan shuddered for a moment, and then let go of Chen Li'an, knowing the seriousness.

Looking at the two girls who were at odds with each other, Chen Li'an yawned boredly, it wasn't as good as the Gongdou drama.

After Jiang Qingqing came, the rest of the people also came one after another, and after a while, Li Keji also came.

In the first class of the new semester, the head teacher must be speaking.

Seeing that Chen Li'an also came on time, Li Keji nodded in satisfaction, it's a good time this time!
It's just that this face was only given for a long time, Chen Li'an ran away with Chen Zihan after a class, and Li Keji, who wanted to chat with Chen Li'an, was angry for a long time.

Xu Jinglei was also angry. She came to look for Chen Li'an right after class, but it was a pity that she was in vain.

At the door of the classroom, Jiang Qingqing looked at Xu Jinglei, who was in the air, and felt gloating in her heart. Although she didn't deal with Chen Zihan, she didn't deal with Xu Jinglei even more.

Seeing Jiang Qingqing's schadenfreude, Xu Jinglei snorted and said, "Being betrayed by a best friend doesn't feel good, you're still on duty."

***! ! !

Jiang Qingqing looked at the back of Xu Jinglei leaving, feeling that she had been severely laughed at, but there was still a trace of reason in her brain, thinking to herself, she never said that she liked Chen Li'an, nor did she take the initiative to pursue and be rejected. What are you angry about?
If you are not angry, you will no longer have that girlfriend! ! !

I want to find a boyfriend who is even stronger than me! ! !I have to compare you! ! ! !
Who should I look for? Jiang Qingqing thought about it for a long time in her mind, and finally found that none of her peers around her was better than Chen Li'an.

Those who are more powerful than Chen Li'an are old men in their tens of years. If you really find an old man, you will not be laughed at by Chen Zihan and Xu Jinglei for the rest of your life!

My damn desire to win. What should I do, I can't swallow this breath!

At night, Chen Zihan leaned over Chen Li'an's body, twirling the necklace around his neck with his slender fingers, rubbing against Chen Li'an's body with his straight legs.

Chen Li'an looked at Chen Zihan's slightly too thin calves, and wondered if this girl didn't usually eat, and her figure was too good, but after subconsciously pinching her palms, she denied this idea.

Can you feel this way without eating?He is very talented, just a little bit worse than Li Dabai, but Chen Zihan's legs are even better.

"What are you thinking?" Chen Zihan blushed and looked at Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an shook his head and said, "It's nothing, by the way, have you received any dramas this year?"

"No." Chen Zihan shook his head, looked at Chen Li'an and asked, "What about you? Will you still be filming in the future?"

"Shooting, there are two movies in the first half of the year." Chen Li'an patted Chen Zihan and said, "I'll help you later and ask if there are any recent TV dramas that you want to find actors for."

Chen Zihan blushed and said, "Well, but can you take it lightly?"

I couldn't hold it back for a while, but it feels really good, and the rebound is very strong, just like waves.

Chen Li'an, who doesn't have to go to school every day, also took time to complete his own sculpture. The prototype of the sculpture is the prototype of the winner hero, but Chen Li'an replaced the prosthetic limb with a leg made of sharp knives.

The shape of the sculpture is a running posture. Looking at the prosthesis made of sharp knife points, you can feel the piercing pain. The overall shape is not in a realistic state, and the image of the characters is somewhat distorted like a fire. Abstract hands emerged from the base of the sculpture and pulled the figure's healthy leg.

"Dabai, what do you think of this sculpture?" Chen Li'an turned to look at Li Dabai and asked.

Li Dabai watched it for a long time before opening his mouth and said: "It's a very strong pain, no, it's a very strong belief and unyielding spirit."

"That's right, Dabai, you've made great progress." Chen Li'an was also very satisfied with this work, looked at Li Dabai and asked, "Did you buy the ticket to Shanghai?"

Speaking of business, Li Dabai also got serious, and immediately replied: "I bought the air ticket for the morning after tomorrow, and the hotel has also called to make a reservation, but Mr. Chen, you really don't need me to go with you?"

Chen Li'an shook his head and said, "No, you help me look after the studio in the capital, the studio can't be empty."

Bai Qing went out to relax two days ago, and went to Xi'an alone. From time to time, there are people coming to visit the studio, which is inseparable from people.

Li Dabai let out a sigh of disappointment, and then muttered: "Why don't you hire another person, I'm an assistant, not a security guard."

Hearing Li Dabai's complaints, Chen Li'an knocked her on the head and said, "It's not good to make you lazy in the capital. If you find it troublesome, you can hire someone yourself."

"Really? Then can I go with you?"

"Next time, this time I'm going to sign the contract, and I'll be back soon."

Two days later, on the plane to Shanghai, Mr. Zhou took the script of Red River Valley and read it for a while and said to Chen Li'an: "If I knew I was going to Shanghai again, I would not drive back to the capital by myself. I am tired after working for several months." I'm dead."

"Wait until you get to Shanghai and take a good rest for two days." Chen Li'an looked at Mr. Zhou whom he hadn't seen for a long time and said with a smile, "You and Shanghai have a good relationship, and several movies were shot in Shanghai."

Mr. Zhou couldn't help but nodded and said: "It seems to be true. You say whether I want to go directly to Shanghai to develop."

"Forget it, Shanghai Film Studio is not as good as every year." Chen Li'an couldn't help but said: "Be honest and stay in the capital."

Young Master Zhou closed the script with a smile and put his arms around Chen Li'an's arm and said, "You just don't want to part with me and want to keep me for the rest of your life, don't you?"

Chen Li'an couldn't find any words to refute. Looking at the script in Mr. Zhou's hand, he changed the topic and said, "Read the script carefully. The movie Red River Valley is different from the ones you made before. If you can act well, the future of the show will be different." It's open."

"Well, don't worry, I'm acting in my true colors! You should worry about yourself." Mr. Zhou said seriously.

Chen Li'an always felt that Mr. Zhou was mocking him. This time he went to Shanghai to let her win the No. [-] female character in the Red River Valley, who was also the lover of Chen Li'an's character in the movie.

In the movie, the male lead only loves the second female lead, and the princess played by Ning Jing pursues the male lead, but the male lead is not at all tempted, and only loves the second female lead.

Mr. Zhou said that he acted in his true colors and there was nothing wrong with him, which made Chen Lian worry that there was nothing wrong with him. A scumbag playing a pure love soldier can only rely on his acting skills, and it is difficult to substitute in the emotions of the characters.

It's just that Chen Li'an is not sure whether the money he invested can be exchanged for this female number two. If it doesn't work, he can add a little more. He promised Mr. Zhou to introduce the role to her before, and a man can't break his promise.

Moreover, this movie has a good reputation and won many awards, which will gild the resume of Mr. Zhou, a rookie. With Mr. Zhou's acting skills, he might be able to win the best supporting actress.

If he really won the award, Mr. Zhou's future journey will be much easier.

Chen Li'an turned his head and glanced at Mr. Zhou who was seriously thinking about the script, with a smile on his lips, as if he could see that her acting skills in this movie crushed Ning Jing.

The current Mr. Zhou should be able to do it. Maybe there may be a chance.

The plane soon landed in Shanghai. Chen Li'an and Mr. Zhou did not go directly to the Shanghai Film Studio to meet Feng Xiaoning, but met Ning Jing at the International Hotel.

In the luxuriously decorated hotel restaurant, Ning Jing looked at the little Mr. Zhou clinging to Chen Li'an, and couldn't help saying, "She's really suitable."

Chen Li'an smiled and said, "I feel like this role is tailor-made for her."

Mr. Zhou smiled embarrassedly, looked at Ning Jing and said, "I really like your movie, I watched it several times on a sunny day."

Ning Jing now thinks of Jiang Wen when others mention sunny days, a gloomy glint flashed in her eyes, she smiled and said, "Thank you."

Chen Li'an saw Ning Jing's emotions, and changed the subject and asked, "The role of Xue'er has not been decided yet, has it?"

"No." Ning Jing shook her head and said, "The funds in the factory haven't been in place yet, and it hasn't been officially settled yet. There is a chance."

Chen Li'an nodded and asked, "Is Feng Xiaoning easy to talk to?"

"So-so, but you are an investor and he will give you face." Ning Jing took a sip of water and said, "If it doesn't work, you should invest more, he is very short of money."

After hearing this, Mr. Zhou couldn't help but grabbed Chen Li'an's arm, and said in a low voice, "I'm confident, I don't need to spend more money."

Chen Li'an looked at Mr. Zhou and smiled, and didn't say much. Sometimes it doesn't matter if you have confidence or you are suitable for the role. Chen Li'an and Feng Xiaoning had a little unpleasantness because of the avalanche scene before. Who knows if Feng Xiaoning will Keep that in mind and be deliberately hard on this matter.

After eating, Chen Li'an asked Mr. Zhou to go to the room to rest and prepare for tomorrow's audition, while he and Ning Jing went to meet Feng Xiaoning.

Chen Li'an met Feng Xiaoning at the Shanghai Film Studio. After the meeting, Chen Li'an said straight to the point: "Director Feng, I want another role. I can add more investment if you still need it."

Feng Xiaoning was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Chen Li'an to be so direct, as direct as those rich upstarts, not an artist.

Ning Jing added from the side: "Director Feng should also know this actor. She acted in the movie "Little Wife" filmed in the factory a while ago."

The leading role of Little Wife?Feng Xiaoning knew about this movie. The factory made several movies throughout the year, and he had seen this movie himself, and he was quite impressed with the heroine.

Feng Xiaoning pondered for a while and looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Young Master Zhou, right? I know her, her acting skills are really good, but I already have an actor I like for this role."

Chen Li'an said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou's acting skills are good, and he is a very spiritual actor. Director Feng can think about it. Investment matters are easy to discuss."

Feng Xiaoning was in a bit of a dilemma. He was really short of money, but he had never met Mr. Zhou, and he didn't know if it was suitable for him, so he couldn't just compromise.

Seeing Feng Xiaoning's embarrassment, Chen Li'an said directly: "Director Feng, how about it, I'll bring her to the audition tomorrow, if you really think it's inappropriate, just pretend I didn't mention it, and I will make the original investment as normal." cast."

Chen Li'an gave Feng Xiaoning a step down, otherwise it would appear that he was penetrated by money. Although the final result is likely to be like this, on the surface, he still needs to work hard.

The reason why Chen Li'an talked about money with Feng Xiaoning straight to the point was to tell Feng Xiaoning one thing, that he was not an actor but a funder, and that he could meet his financial needs and change their identities from being unequal to being equal at the beginning .

Chen Li'an didn't want to have friction with Feng Xiaoning during filming, otherwise he was just an actor and couldn't fight against a director.

Sometimes the pursuit of film art is far less effective than money, especially for a director who has been short of money and invested for several years.

Feng Xiaoning thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's see the situation tomorrow, and I hope she can give me a surprise."
