Chapter 113 Elbow, come into the house with me! (Please subscribe!)

After the new contract was signed, Lin Xuan began to perform business and accept endorsements as usual.

Wang Jinhua announced his latest offer, which is RMB 20 for regular commercial performances, but special commercial performances will not be accepted.

Lin Xuan is now the most popular star in the mainland, so it is okay to participate in ordinary commercial performances. Taking part in private commercial performances will damage his identity.

If that fool exposed him, his image would plummet, so Wang Jinhua simply refused them all.

In terms of endorsements, the quotation has increased to 300 million per year, which is considered to be the first level among mainland celebrities.

Even with such a high price, Lin Xuan still received more than a dozen endorsement invitations.

He first eliminated risky endorsements, such as health products and the like.

Some merchants also insisted on signing contracts for three years, but he also refused.

In the end, four companies were selected, Head & Shoulders, Coca-Cola, Master Kong, and Maxam Cleansing Cream.

After signing the contract, Lin Xuan began to cooperate with the brand owner to shoot advertisements.

…………

In mid-September, the project of "Detective Di Renjie 2" was officially launched.

The script has been revised several times and has already passed the review.

The delay was so long because Qian Yanqiu proposed a sky-high production fee of 3000 million yuan to CCTV.

Upon hearing this price, CCTV thought Qian Yanqiu wanted to line his own pockets and took the opportunity to make a fortune.

Lao Qian had no choice but to settle accounts with them bit by bit with the budget sheet, and finally regained his innocence.

Now there are different opinions within CCTV.

Some people think that 3000 million is no problem. As long as Qian Yanqiu maintains the standard of the previous film, it will definitely look good.

However, some people felt that the production fee was too high and proposed to only take 2000 million, leaving the remaining 1000 million for other companies to come in and share the risk.

The two sides held several meetings and quarreled over this matter. In the end, the decimal number obeyed the majority and a budget of 3000 million was approved.

There is no way, there are too many people watching this show.

They wished CCTV would give up the script so they could take over.

CCTV has a good appetite and is definitely not willing to share the cake with others. After Qian Yanqiu's repeated urging, it finally passed the approval.

The news of the TV series project spread and caused widespread discussion in the industry.

All major companies are starting to look for connections and use backdoors to get their own family members into the crew.

Wang Jinhua also called to ask about the situation of the heroine and the second female lead.

These two roles have been confirmed, but in order to increase the buzz, Qian Yanqiu did not announce them to the public and went through the audition process normally.

Thinking about the actors who worked hard to prepare for their roles, Lin Xuan felt sad for them.

During this time, he also received many calls from friends.

Some people who are not doing well in life want to play a small supporting role through Lin Xuan's relationship.

Some people have a big appetite, such as Li Bingbing, who is very interested in the role of the female lead Di Ruyan.

Lin Xuan couldn't tell the truth to her.

He could only tell her that the role of Di Ruyan was very important and the director had to choose it himself. The most he could do was help recommend it.

If it is Xiao Qing, the second female lead, he can also help speak.

Li Bingbing is also a popular actress in Mainland China and the winner of international film festivals.

Wang Jinhua still dotes on her, and the male actors she works with are all big-name actors from Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.

If it was the female lead, she would definitely find a way to snatch it away.

Forget about being the second female lead, she has no shortage of acting roles.

Lin Xuan could only express regret when he heard what she said.

In fact, he guessed Li Bingbing's thoughts and said this deliberately.

After chatting for a few words, Lin Xuan hung up the phone.

Some people are very disciplined in their relationships and know to talk to Lin Xuan beforehand.

Some people are not so particular and will come directly to your door after asking for their address.

Fan Xiaopang obviously belongs to the latter.

Lin Xuan was filming a commercial out of town at the time, and Fan Xiaopang flew halfway across the country to find him.

When he entered the door, he hugged him and whispered softly to find out the news.

Lin Xuan looked at the charming face beneath her and could only say regretfully that she couldn't decide on the female lead.

Fan Xiaopang is not as easy to fool as others.

She had acted in the first part of "Detective Di Renjie" and knew that Lin Xuan was not only the screenwriter, but also had a good relationship with Qian Yanqiu.

Qian Yanqiu listens to him on many things. If Lin Xuan is willing to help, the audition success rate will increase by at least 50%.

Lin Xuan was determined and shook his head in disagreement.

He didn't tell Fan Xiaopang the truth, not because he was afraid that she would spill the beans, but because he was afraid that she would be jealous.

This girl has a bit of a wild temperament and is very possessive.

Even if the relationship between the two is not confirmed, she still regards Lin Xuan as her man and does not allow other women to get involved.

So there are some things that Chen Hong can know, but Fan Xiaopang cannot know.

If it's too soft, then it's hard. Fan Xiaopang was about to use force, grabbed Lin Xuan's arm and dragged him into the room.

"What are you doing?" Lin Xuan was confused.

"Elbow, come into the house with me."

10 minutes later, on the big bed in the hotel's executive suite.

Lin Xuan was hit in great pain and gritted his teeth and said, "Have you gained weight recently?"

"Yes! So what if I gain weight? Do you agree or not? If you don't agree, I will just sit there and die."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan sighed helplessly, raised his hand and pushed the boat over.

…………

Two hours later, Fan Xiaopang, who had lost both his wife and his army, was lying in his arms.

While wiping away tears, she punched his chest with her small fist: "You bitch man! You won't admit it if you eat it and wipe it clean."

Lin Xuan stroked her hair and advised softly: "Stop making trouble, I don't run the crew, you can play whoever you want.

One day I will invest in a drama by myself, and then you can choose any of the characters in the drama. "After receiving this guarantee, Fan Xiaopang finally stopped making trouble.

After resting in the room for a while, she put on her clothes and prepared to leave.

Lin Xuan looked at the sky outside and asked, "It's getting dark. Where are you going?"

Fan Xiaopang got dressed, squatted down and started to put on his shoes.

Turning around, she glared at him unhappily: "You can't rely on a man, you can only rely on your godmother."

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "Sister Hua has called me a long time ago. I really can't help it."

Fan Xiaopang snorted coldly, not believing his nonsense at all.

The two have been together for such a long time, and Fan Xiaopang thinks that he still understands Lin Xuan very well.

As soon as he raised his butt, Fan Xiaopang knew what he wanted to use... what he wanted to fart.

The role of Di Ruyan must have been used by him to seduce the little vixen.

It is impossible for Fan Xiaopang to fall out with Lin Xuan, but she is not easy to get along with either.

When the crew starts filming, she wants to see who dares to steal a man from him without risking his life?

"I'm not talking about "Detective Di Renjie", but "Youngster Bao Qingtian"."

Lin Xuan was stunned and asked in surprise: ""Young Man Bao Qingtian"? Are you trying to steal Li Bingbing's role?"

"Can't you? Although I have the same name as her, I'm not a good sister."

"Didn't you play Pang Feiyan in the first film? Can the director agree?"

Fan Xiaopang rolled his eyes at him: "Except for Gongsun Ce, Bao Zheng, and Zhan Zhao, all other characters have been deleted from the second part."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan finally remembered.

"Then you've been on a plane for several hours, so..."

He wanted to send a gun thousands of miles away, but it felt impolite.

"Hmph, it's cheaper for you."

"Then... I wish you success. In the competition between you and Bingbing, I can only help each other."

"I didn't expect you to help me."

After saying that, Fan Xiaopang took his bag and left angrily.

…………

A few days later, the commercial was shot.

If Lin Xuan returns to Beijing, everyone in the circle will know about it.

The abilities of paparazzi and fans are so terrifying that Lin Xuan feels like he is being watched all the time.

After returning home and taking a shower, Lin Xuan received a call from Li Shaohong asking him to have dinner.

He knew very well that Li Shaohong invited him to dinner for the sake of the role.

He didn't want to do this favor, but considering that he still owed Rong Xingda a lot of favors, he could only agree first and wait until they met.

In the evening of the next day, Lin Xuan came to the restaurant box in disguise.

In addition to Li Shaohong and Li Xiaowan, there were two men and one woman in the box. What's more, he knew all three of them.

Lin Xuan's eyes swept across their faces, and the three of them stood up immediately.

"Sister Shaohong."

"You are a very busy person now. I have to queue up to have a meal with you."

Li Shaohong came over and Lin Xuan greeted her warmly.

Then she started to introduce other people: "This is Rong Xingda's boss, my good friend, Li Xiaowan."

Lin Xuan stepped forward to shake hands and say hello, saying a few polite words.

"This is Zhou Xun, you should know, we are Rong Xingda's leading actress."

"Hello, Director Lin." Brother Xun, who was not tall, stood up and took the initiative to shake hands.

"Hello." Lin Xuan squeezed her soft little hand.

He originally wanted to be polite and call Sister Xun, but he changed his name temporarily.

His current status in the industry is no longer just that of an actor. It would be inappropriate for him to recognize his brother and sister everywhere as he did before.

"I have seen the movie "Adult Style of Love". It was well shot and acted well."

"Thank you. Your performance is also impressive. It's just that it was too late to join the cast of "Daming Palace Ci", otherwise the two of us might have played opposite each other."

Zhou Xun smiled: "It's quite a pity. But I believe there will be opportunities in the future."

He squeezed it with his little hands for half a minute and didn't let go until he finished speaking.

"This is Xiaowan's son, my godson. You met him at the movie celebration party."

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "I remember Lin Yushen, right?"

"That's right, Director Lin has a really good memory."

Lin Yushen was quite happy to see Lin Xuan remember his name.

He is the same age as Lin Xuan, but his face is slightly older.

His appearance is cool and handsome, but unfortunately he was tricked by his mother into always starring in sad dramas, and he failed to find his own advantages.

If he had come out earlier to act in idol dramas and play the role of a domineering president, he might have become a little popular.

It was clear that the starting conditions were so good, but in the end, half of his life was wasted and he did not leave any masterpieces.

Apart from a few idol dramas, the role that impressed Lin Xuan the most was Yang Xiao in the 19th version of "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword".

Then Li Shaohong introduced the last actor to him.

"This is our company's newly signed actor Chen Kun. He just graduated from Nortel this year. When he was in college, he filmed a TV series directed by Zhao Baogang, and he was the leading male lead."

"Hello, Director Lin, I am Chen Kun."

"Hello."

Lin Xuan shook hands with him with a smile.

Thoughts raced in my mind, and a classic line rang in my ears.

Aren't you bullying honest people!
