China Entertainment: I really don’t want to live with the queen

Chapter 163 Xiao Lou: Brother Chen’s acting skills are comparable to those of the best actor

December 12, northwest of Guomao Bridge on the East Third Ring Road.

A towering building stood in the sky. Lou Ye hugged his military coat tightly and squatted in front of the building. The finished cigarette butt in front of him burned a honeycomb-shaped hole in the snow.

Lou Ye's bitter eyes stared straight at the hole, and the cold wind carried the snowflakes hard and slapped him in the face.

Lao Lou felt sad and sighed sadly at the woman making a snowman next to him: "Old Zhou, do you think I can make it to the other side of my life that is riddled with holes?"

Lou Ye has had a dream of making movies since he was a child. After graduating from Nortel, he was assigned to Shanghai TV Station. He didn't go and went crazy to work as an assistant director on the crew.

Four years after graduation, he directed his first movie "Weekend Lover". The good news movie won awards, but the bad news won awards is useless.

The following year, he directed his second movie "Girl in Danger". The good news movie was released, but the bad news box office was as bad as if it had not been released.

This blockbuster movie made him a complete failure in the industry, and he felt uncomfortable wherever he went.

For three whole years, he didn't make a single movie. He worked early in the morning and late at night to shoot commercials and work odd jobs on the crew. After three years of suffering, he saved up some money and spent it all, and finally released the movie "Suzhou River".

The good news is that the movie was successfully completed, but the bad news is that there is no money for post-production. Damn it, there is no difference between the movie being made and not being made. It’s just a joke~

Lao Lou grinned with a bitter and helpless smile on his face soaked in bitterness. He stared at the dark hole and raised his hand to take a puff of cigarette, but his hand burned with pain.

Staring, the cigarette disappeared.

I touched the cigarette case and shook it for a while. The cigarette case was also empty.

Old Lou stared at the black hole for a moment, then bent down to pick up the cigarette that was still on his butt, and stroked the wet stem twice with his fingertips.

I lit it and took two bites, which made my throat hurt from choking.

There were two small crystal clear snowmen piled on the flower bed, and Zhou Xun's fingers were red with cold.

Breathing in the heat, his slender white fingers carefully traced the words "Bad Brother" and "Xiao Zhou" on the little snowman's belly.

Two chubby little snowmen next to each other, you're done!

Zhou Xun held it in his tender little hands and sighed, rolling his eyes: "Old Lou, why do you add so many scenes to yourself when you make a movie?"

Xu Chen's company is upstairs. Although the bad brother is irresponsible, he will not let her have an abortion...

Not even movies!

As a result, Lou Ye insisted on adding drama to himself, saying that he wanted to brew up the feeling of looking for investors.

Zhou Xun rolled his eyes. Was Lou Ye planning to find investors? He was clearly planning to beg. Regardless of whether Xu Chen agreed or not, the misfortune must be in place.

"...Hey, you don't understand, Lao Zhou, I don't blame you." Lou Ye shook his head, art is always lonely.

The two strolled to the China World Trade Center Phase 1 Building.

The elevator is constantly transporting elite white-collar workers in suits and ties up and down.

Lou Ye's military coat was a bit rustic. The heater in the elevator was so hot that the snow on the military coat evaporated and white smoke came out.

The female white-collar worker frowned in disgust, rolled her eyes indifferently, and hid quietly on the other side of the elevator.

Lou Ye looked embarrassed and hugged his military coat tightly. The elevator reached the 15th floor. Before leaving the elevator with Zhou Xun, he solemnly apologized: "I'm sorry that I stink to you."

Lou Ye felt that he should apologize. After all, he had caused trouble to others and he was very stubborn.

"You're crazy." The female white-collar worker's face turned pale, and she was very suspicious of Lou Ye's mental state.

The address of Time Pictures is 1506.

There are signs at the elevator doors of high-end office buildings.

Zhou Xun recognized the address and walked over with Lou Ye.

She and Bad Brother haven't seen each other for a long time, and Zhou Xun misses Bad Brother very much.

If Bad Brother invests in a movie, how will he repay Bad Brother? Last time Bad Brother said Lolita, why not satisfy him?

Zhou Xun's fair and childish face was smiling, but the princess had such a stinky face that she still wanted to steal her brother, but there was no way!

The front desk of Time Pictures.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Xun. I have made an appointment with Xu Chen." Zhou Xun informed his name.

Ling Qi's bright eyes looked at Bad Brother's company.

Time Pictures is not a small company. A huge photo poster of Xu Chen hangs at the front desk, and the fashionable and beautiful white-collar women's high-heeled shoes click.

Zhou Xun stared at the female white-collar worker's chest, then stared at his own chest.

He hugged the clothes tightly with his two tender little hands, and spat angrily: "Old Xu is too narcissistic. How can a serious person hang up a poster of himself in the company and recruit so many female employees?"

Zhou Xun is a bit chewy, and the bad brother is too bothersome.

Lou Ye's eyes were fiery.

He had seen many companies seeking investment, but none of them were as shocking as Time Pictures. Time Pictures was just like a company in science fiction movies.

Xu Chen is rich!

The front desk looked at the appointment list. Xu Chen was in the company these days, and there was an endless stream of people who wanted to see him. They were all advertisers, underdog singers, and third-rate directors.

The front desk didn't dare to be careless, so he took the phone and called Li Xue for confirmation.

"Yes, there is such a thing..." Li Xue was talking.

A dull cry of pain suddenly came from the phone. The next moment the girl held back the pain and asked as if she were facing a formidable enemy: "Is that woman's name Zhou Xun? Is she pretty?"

The receptionist burst into laughter upon hearing this.

The girl on the phone is named Gao Yuanyuan, the happy baby in the company.

The receptionist stared at Zhou Xun twice, turned slightly sideways, covered the phone with his hand and whispered: "She is definitely not as good-looking as Yuanyuan. Her face is small, not as cute as yours, her mouth is also small, she is small, and she looks a bit rude. .”

"Sister Xiaohong, thank you. Just tell her to wait a moment. I'll come out to pick her up right away!" Gao Yuanyuan said.

Ms. Wang couldn't fight her for the time being, but now Zhou Xun showed up again. Gao Yuanyuan used her strength to smash the gophers and hit them one by one.

The company's heating was so hot that Lou Yejun's coat was so hot that he was sweating all over. He didn't dare to take it off for fear of affecting his image in Xu Chen's heart.

The receptionist turned his back and whispered, Lou Ye suddenly panicked and muttered: "Old Zhou, the situation is not good, the person who came here is not good."

"I can tell." Zhou Xun's fair and tender face flashed with confusion.

She didn't offend anyone in Xu Chen's company.

Could it be that stinky-faced woman like the princess?

Zhou Xun was immediately furious. The princess, a woman with a bad face, admitted that she was in a relationship with a bad brother, but he didn't expect that there was something behind her.

hateful!

Zhou Xun's bright eyes narrowed dangerously, and she didn't believe that she couldn't win over the princess by snatching the man.

The front desk glanced at Zhou Xun from time to time.

Big gossip, although Brother Chen and Gao Yuanyuan have not made it public, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that they are a couple.

In addition to the princess officially announced in Brother Chen's newspaper, there is now another Zhou Xun.

The receptionist stared at Zhou Xun, subconsciously judging Zhou Xun's appearance.

Fair and tender, with a small and exquisite figure, bright eyes and white teeth, looking forward to the flight, the whole person is shining.

The front desk couldn't help but sweat for Gao Yuanyuan, the enemy was too strong.

Yuanyuan, work hard, this woman is so beautiful!

moment.

Gao Yuanyuan arrived late with Li Xue.

The little girl did not underestimate the enemy. She hid behind the partition wall and exposed her eyes to observe secretly.

After just one glance, Gao Yuanyuan pursed her lips, and suddenly felt that it was difficult. After adjusting the danger level, Ms. Zhou was more threatening than Ms. Wang!

After all, Ms. Wang is older and Ms. Zhou is still young.

"Yuanyuan, do you want me to help you get some information?" Li Xue teased Gao Yuanyuan.

Gao Yuanyuan is young, innocent and cute, and has a naive personality, but she is very sincere in her treatment of others.

Li Xue had a good impression of her, but a bad impression of the princess. The princess always had a cold face and acted as if she owed her money.

"Sister Xue, please stop it. She doesn't seem to be as unscrupulous as Ms. Wang. I don't care. I'll go up and meet him first."

Gao Yuanyuan is not afraid of palace fights, Comrade Xiao Xu will only belong to her one day!

"Hello Ms. Zhou, my name is Gao Yuanyuan. Are you here to see Brother Chen?" The little girl's slender back was straight.

She followed Xu Chen to handle the company's business these days. Although she complained a lot, her pretense won Xu Chen's favor.

The little girl is young but has a lot of momentum. What's more, Li Xue and the receptionist flashed behind her and stared at Zhou Xun menacingly.

Lou Ye turned his head and looked at Zhou Xun, complaining in his heart. It seems that Lao Zhou's relationship with Time Pictures is not working well!

"Manager Gao, hello, hello." Lou Ye didn't understand the little girl's position.

However, the biggest person in the company is called the general manager. He leaned slightly, with a friendly smile on his bitter and resentful face: "Manager Gao, we are here to see Mr. Xu. My name is Lou Ye, and this is my business card."

Lou has paid too much for the movie!

The little girl glanced at the front desk.

The receptionist looked confused. Li Xue gently tugged on her clothes. The receptionist suddenly understood and stepped forward to take Lou Ye's business card to the little girl.

The little girl raised her plump and fair chin, narrowed her eyes slightly, and pretended to look.

He imitated Xu Chen's usual expression when meeting guests: "Hello, Director Lou, let's sit down and talk about the movie "Suzhou River"..."

The little girl paused, her eyebrows twitching.

She doesn't understand the movie "Suzhou River" either.

The little girl didn't dare to talk nonsense, for fear of delaying Xu Chen's affairs, she held it back for a while, her plump and round face pouting. Zhou Xun subconsciously put his hands in his pockets.

The little girl was fierce and pretentious, and she was keenly aware of Xu Chen's shadow.

Her bright and beautiful eyes were slightly squinted, and she said nothing, quietly watching Manager Zhou's performance.

Manager Zhou showed timidity, Zhou Xun raised his delicate eyebrows, smiled at the corners of his childish white mouth, and cursed: "What a silly senior manager, bad brother has really good eyesight."

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.

"Hello, Director Lou, I am Li Xue, Brother Chen's personal assistant. Brother Chen specifically asked me to treat Director Lou well when he comes."

Li Xue signaled to Gao Yuanyuan with her eyes, Manager Gao, hurry up and receive the guests!

Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Zhou Xun and felt that Ms. Zhou was as hateful as Ms. Wang.

Now is not the time for jealousy. Gao Yuanyuan said gracefully: "Director Lou, let's go to the living room and sit down and chat."

"Good good."

Lou Ye figured it out, and he was playing house with the little girl.

The little girl "Manager Gao" pretended to be the best and chatted with Lou Ye, but after a few serious words, she blinked her eyes and asked curiously: "Director Lou, are you also short of money for filming?"

Comrade Xiao Xu is never short of money when filming.

"Manager Gao, making a movie is a very complicated matter, and every link requires money..." Lou Ye didn't think the problem was retarded.

Manager Gao is young, cute, innocent and romantic, and it is normal for him not to understand the crew. Besides...

Lou Ye felt that he needed to have a good relationship with Brother Chen's third wife.

Not only did he manage the relationship himself, he also winked at Zhou Xun.

Zhou Xun rolled his eyes, Lou Ye, your path has been narrowed. You have pleased the third wife and offended the eldest wife.

Yes, the eldest lady is Your Excellency Ms. Zhou.

Zhou Xun glanced at Manager Gao's chest inadvertently, and suddenly became angry, putting his hands in his pockets and hugging his clothes tightly, why do you, a mistress, have to be so big!

You want to be a big wife!

"Don't worry, Director Lou. Brother Chen is very good. The crew has put in so many hard work. Brother Chen will help you." Gao Yuanyuan called Comrade Xu affectionately.

Lou Ye's misfortune was a huge success.

Comrade Xiao Gao is kind-hearted and hates the suffering of others. When he saw smoke coming from Lou Ye's body, the little girl asked politely: "Director Lou, I'm a little hot. Can you turn on the air conditioner?"

"Ok, Ok."

Lou Ye was about to get eczema from the heat, and it felt like smelling nectar: ​​"Manager Gao is interested in movies. I will tell him more about the crew's front and backstage operations."

…………

Xu Chen took the princess into the company.

Li Xue was waiting eagerly, and when he saw Xu Chen, he immediately reported the information about the living room to Xu Chen.

"You mean Gao Yuanyuan is now pretending to be Manager Gao to meet Lou Ye, and Zhou Xun is also here." Xu Chen subconsciously touched the bridge of his nose.

It was lively now, and the princess, Gao Yuanyuan, and Zhou Xun got together.

"Brother Chen...the current situation is like this." Li Xue bit the bullet.

The princess is slender and tall, which inherently makes her feel oppressive. Moreover, she often has a cold face, or to put it bluntly, she is expressionless.

When I stare directly at someone, I always feel like she is looking at something.

Li Xue felt this way now. She reported the situation. The princess's heroic eyebrows were slightly frowned and her eyes were narrowed into slits, looking very murderous.

"Okay, let me go meet Lao Lou." Xu Chen thought about signing Lou Ye to Time Pictures.

Lou Ye is nicknamed Titled Douluo. There is no hope for movies, but TV series and advertisements are okay.

"Achen, there is a little toad in that blue and white porcelain flowerpot..." The princess showed Xu Chen her white and tender little finger.

How can you leave a toad at the front desk of the company? If you say anything, you will lose points.

Xu Chen rolled his eyes and grinned.

What a toad, such a cute little white rabbit. Xu Chen sighed: "Sister Fei, let's put on our glasses next time we go out. I'm worried about your safety when you're like this."

"No." The princess said with a cold face, "It's a lot of trouble. You have to say hello when you meet an acquaintance."

…………

"Director Lou, hello, hello."

In the office, Xu Chen met Lou Ye.

Lou Ye wears a green leather military coat, has a short hair, and a very miserable face. He looks like he just came out of Beidahuang after being imprisoned for ten years. How can he be called miserable!

"Xu...Brother Chen, I..." Lou Ye was very honest.

He just came to ask for money, but it didn't look good to ask for money directly. He didn't know how to build relationships, so rubbing his hands was a bit embarrassing.

fortunately.

The two beautiful figures rushed into Xu Chen's arms like moths to the flame, shouting at the same time: "Comrade Xiao Xu/Old Xu!"

The office fell silent for a moment.

Gao Yuanyuan and Zhou Xun knocked their heads at the same time, screamed in pain, and looked into each other's eyes.

Comrade Xiao Gao pouted aggrievedly, holding Xu Chen's clothes with both hands, and raising his plump and round chin. He looked like I'm sad but I won't say it. Nuo Nuo shouted: "Comrade Xiao Xu, I miss you. I listened to you well." Words."

"..." Zhou Xun stared with bright eyes, Gao Yuanyuan's tea smelled like tea.

She covered her forehead with her small white hands and rolled her eyes: "Damn, Manager Gao, you have phlegm in your throat. Comrade Xu, he's not dead yet. What's your name?"

"Oops..." The little girl put her hands on her hips, raised her eyebrows, and bulging her cheeks, and said angrily: "Ms. Zhou, why do you curse brother Chen to death..."

Lou Ye was dumbfounded. He looked at Manager Zhou, turned his head to look at Zhou Xun, and finally stared at the princess with a cold face.

He was a little dizzy as his eyes moved around. Xu Chen could actually deal with three women at the same time...

Holy shit, Brother Chen’s acting skills are worthy of being a movie king!

Xu Chen, with hundreds of ducks quacking and sighing in his ears, held Zhou Xun in his left hand and Gao Yuanyuan in his right hand, leaving the concubine behind.

Xu Chen thought for a moment, let go of Gao Yuanyuan's hand, and held the princess.

He held the princess and Zhou Xun in his arms, staring at Gao Yuanyuan.

"Hmph!" The little girl pouted so hard that she could hang a soy sauce bottle.

He put his aggrieved hands around Xu Chen's waist and rubbed Comrade Xu's chest.

Xu Chen hugged each other, with a soy sauce bottle hanging on his chest, and sighed: "Fei Fei, Xiao Zhou, Yuanyuan, the four of us living a good life are better than anything else."

The princess rolled her eyes, Zhou Xun snorted coldly, and Comrade Xiao Gao pouted...

"...!!!" Lou Ye's eyes widened, feeling that he might not have woken up.

Rubbing his eyes subconsciously, holy shit, Xu Chen is such a bastard. Lou Ye thought of the movie "Suzhou River". He felt that his movie was still too conservative.

Xu Chen saved three good women and talked about serious matters with Lou Ye.

Lou Ye's personality is as smelly and hard as the stones in the pit, otherwise he wouldn't be able to become a titled Douluo.

Xu Chen had no hope of persuading Lou Ye to give up his pursuit of movies. He only asked Lou Ye one question: "Director Lou, how much money is left for the movie?"

"Brother Chen, the post-production money for "Suzhou River" is not much, just 3 million yuan." Lou Ye rubbed his hands nervously.

He didn't dare ask for too much. The film had little hope of passing censorship, which meant it wouldn't be released in China.

Moreover, Xu Chen spent 50 yuan on the soundtrack for the movie, and now asked someone to take another 200 million yuan. Lou Ye felt very sorry.

"Director Lou, Suzhou and Hanoi can't pass the trial." Xu Chen frowned and asked Lou Ye.

"Brother Chen, although this... movie cannot pass censorship, the copyright fees are expected to be high in overseas markets. Besides, Hong Kong and Southeast Asia..."

Lou Ye's voice became lower and lower as he spoke. He was an honest man and could not brag and deceive investors.

Xu Chen snickered in his heart, PUA Lou Ye was too simple.

Subconsciously, I squeezed Comrade Xiao Gao's white and tender hands.

Pretending to be embarrassed, he said: "Director Lou, let's do this. My album will be released in June next year and I need to shoot a MV. The company also has some advertising plans to shoot. These..."

"Brother Chen, I will have nothing to do after the post-production of my movie is completed. If Brother Chen is willing, leave these to me." Lou Ye has to support his family.

If he doesn't make movies, he would have to be afraid of commercials and music videos. If he shoots for Xu Chen, at least the treatment will be good.

"Okay, let's do this, Director Lou. I'll give you 300 million for "Suzhou River". I have only one request. All the overseas film festivals can apply for selection, and no one will be left behind!"

"Suzhou River" won awards at the Paris Film Festival and the Rotterdam International Film Festival.

However, Rotterdam Lou Ye was able to win the award entirely because he received the film support funds from the Rotterdam Award, which can be regarded as a custom-made work funded by Rotterdam.

This is the reason why Titled Douluo movies are frequently banned...

I always take pictures of China in the eyes of foreigners. It pleases foreigners. If I don’t block you, who will you block?

"Brother Chen..." Lou Ye didn't expect Xu Chen to be so grand.

If you want 200 million, give me 300 million, God of Wealth...

Serve Brother Chen!
