Chapter 184 My first taste of Xiaoran, three days behind closed doors! (Please subscribe!)
  "You haven't gone back yet."

Li Xiaoran carried the bag and took a few steps closer.

"I've been waiting for you specially. I want to thank you in person."

Lin Xuan waved his hand casually.

"You're welcome. It's mainly because you acted well."

Li Xiaoran said: "Then I have to express my gratitude. Do you have time in the evening? I would like to treat you to a meal."

Lin Xuan thought for a while, and there seemed to be nothing wrong tonight.

"Okay, where can we eat?"

"You pick the place, and I'll pay for it."

"The place I picked is very expensive."

Lin Xuan always goes to private clubs for dinner dates with friends.

A meal and a cup of tea there would cost thousands, and that's without ordering exotic animals.

Although Li Xiaoran came out to film a long time ago, he basically played small roles and could not make much money.

She just went to sign the contract, and the salary for playing Yin Susu was only [-] yuan.

"Don't worry, I'm ready for bleeding."

"Then I'm welcome."

After driving to the club, Lin Xuan took her directly through the VIP channel to the box.

The box manager immediately came up and said hello.

Lin Xuan didn't order anything and asked him to arrange it directly.

He eats here often and the manager knows his preferences.

After taking their seats, the two took off their bulky coats.

The cheongsam lady came over to serve tea, and the two sat down to chat.

"Director Lin, when will "The Best in the World" be broadcast next year?"

Lin Xuan sipped melon seeds and said: "The post-production has already begun. It will probably be broadcast in the summer next year."

As Lin Xuan’s original martial arts TV series.

"The Best in the World" has been listed as the most anticipated TV series next year by many viewers.

Although Li Xiaoran played a small supporting role in the play, Princess Lixiu's role is very interesting and she is expected to attract a wave of fans by then.

It's not nice to say it, but it's very realistic.

Even if he plays a supporting role in Lin Xuan's drama, he has gained more attention than the protagonists of many TV dramas.

As for the broadcast time, it was discussed among several investors.

Lin Xuan's fans are mostly young people and students, and summer and Spring Festival are the best time periods.

The two chatted for a while, and the food began to be served in the private room.

Lin Xuan didn't eat much at the hotel audition today and was already hungry.

"Director Lin, you forgot to order wine."

"I thought you didn't like drinking, so I didn't order it."

"I have no problem. What kind of wine do you like to drink?"

Li Xiaoran reached out to the waiter and brought over the wine list.

"You order it, I can drink any color."

"Then red wine, I'm not good at white wine."

Li Xiaoran smiled and ordered two bottles of red wine.

She is really going to bleed today, and the price of just two bottles of wine exceeds 1.

In the private room, the two of them were eating food and drinking red wine.

With the help of alcohol, the atmosphere of chatting became better and better.

"Director Lin, let me toast you again."

It's really inconvenient to sit facing each other.

Li Xiaoran simply took the wine glass and sat next to Lin Xuan.

"I respect you."

Lin Xuan smiled and clinked glasses with her.

After sitting closer, Li Xiaoran became more enthusiastic and helped pour wine and pick up food with his own hands.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Lin Xuan put his arms around her waist.

Li Xiaoran's body trembled, and then he continued chatting as if nothing happened.

It was halfway through dinner and I had already drank more than a bottle of red wine.

Li Xiaoran's skin as white as snow was stained with a layer of bright red, making her even more beautiful.

Lin Xuan couldn't help but couldn't help but lean over.

Li Xiaoran hugged his neck and tried his best to cater to him.

From the moment she invited Lin Xuan to dinner alone, everything that happened was expected.

In fact, as early as when she was on the set of "The Best in the World", Li Xiaoran discovered that Lin Xuan was interested in her.

Women are always very intuitive in this regard.

She has no ill feelings toward Lin Xuan, and even has a strong interest in him.

In other words, there is no female star in domestic entertainment who is not interested in him.

Putting aside the aura of being "the number one youngster in Mainland China", Lin Xuan's top-notch looks can attract countless female stars.

What's more, Lin Xuan is not only an actor, but also a director and investor, holding a large amount of resources in his hands.

It's a pity that her time on the crew was too short, and she left the crew before she had time to take action.

And she discovered that Lin Xuan's relationship with several other actresses on the crew was unusual.

Especially Fan Xiaopang, he wanted to have the words "He is my man" carved on his face.

Li Xiaoran sized up the situation and ultimately did not take any risky action.

Just when she thought the two were destined to be together, the crew of "Heaven and Dragon Sword" opened an audition.

This is a very good opportunity for Li Xiaoran.

If everything goes well, not only can he win the role in the play, but he can also get closer to Lin Xuan.

So everything that happens next is reasonable.

Li Xiaoran was already prepared, but Lin Xuan was still very cautious.

Although the actress invited the director to dinner alone, she meant to devote herself to it.

But just in case, if someone just wants to express gratitude.

So when she first entered the box, Lin Xuan was very restrained and polite and only talked to her about the crew.

During the meal, he deliberately did not order wine and left the final choice to Li Xiaoran.

As expected, Li Xiaoran ordered two bottles of red wine, and even took the initiative to sit over and serve him wine and food.

The signal is already clear, and it would be rude not to take action anymore.

Lin Xuan's skills are very skillful, and his hands are not idle when his lips and teeth are intertwined.

In just a few minutes, Li Xiaoran's body became limp and powerless, and his eyes were as charming as silk.

Seeing that he was about to hit the highway as he stepped on the accelerator.

Li Xiaoran fought for the last bit of reason, hugged him hard and exhaled like a blue:
  "Don't be here..."

"it is good."

Lin Xuan was still somewhat awake, so he took her to the club room.

The Mercedes-Benz turned in a different direction, stepped on the accelerator and entered the highway.

"Jingle Bell……"

Early the next morning, Lin Xuan was awakened by the ringing of the phone.

"Hey, what were you doing last night? I made several calls but didn't answer."

Fan Xiaopang returned to the villa after running a business performance last night, but Lin Xuan didn't come back until midnight.

My calls to him never got through, so I came to Xingshi early in the morning to question him.

"I was having dinner with friends last night and didn't hear the sound of my cell phone."

He yawned, hugged Li Xiaoran in his arms, and made up a lie casually.

Her call came at the wrong time last night. Lin Xuan was sprinting and he answered the phone because he was crazy.

After chatting for a while and fooling around, Lin Xuan hung up the phone.

Li Xiaoran beside him was woken up and kicked off the quilt irritably:

"Who is it? It's so noisy."

She had just slept for a few hours after fighting until midnight last night, and now she was feeling sleepy.

Lin Xuan smiled but didn't answer, and got into the quilt again: "Don't sleep, get up and have fun."

"No~~"

Li Xiaoran was startled and quickly turned around to beg for mercy.

"You are a dog, you can't get enough."

Lin Xuan stroked her smooth back.

“Delicious and not greasy!”

…………

Stayed in the clubhouse for three days.

Lin Xuan and Li Xiaoran experienced all the projects inside.

Swimming pools, hot springs, gyms, mahjong, spas, Western restaurants...     Li Xiaoran's eyes have been opened, these rich people really know how to enjoy it.

Except for the first meal, Mr. Lin paid for all the rest.

He charged [-] in the club and could play however he wanted.

It wasn't until three days later that the two reluctantly left.

At the same time, the auditions of the crew ended and the final list of cast members was released.

In addition to the previously announced actors, many new names appeared on the list, such as Yan Kuan, Lin Yushen, etc.

The media had a keen sense of smell and immediately began to investigate their background information.

Even before the TV series has been filmed, several people's names have already entered the media.

This popularity is simply not comparable to that of ordinary TV series.

The original version of "Eternal Dragon Sword" was filmed near the capital, but Lin Xuan was changed to Hengdian Film and Television City.

In addition, there are several grand scenes in the play that need to be shot on location.

For example, Guangmingding, Wangpanshan, Mongolian grassland, etc. in the play.

In order to facilitate the crew's transition, the location team searched for filming locations around Hengdian.

Zhejiang Province is very mountainous, so it’s easy to find.

…………

In mid-October, all the actors rushed to Hengdian, and the crew arranged a dinner for them in the hotel.

The banquet hall was crowded and lively.

Lin Xuan changed clothes and came to the banquet hall, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Lin Xuan!"

Jia Jingwen is chatting with other actors.

I saw him walking into the banquet hall and came over immediately.

"Miss Jia Jingwen, long time no see."

Lin Xuan took the initiative to hug him, and Jia Jingwen smiled and patted him on the back.

"We haven't seen each other for more than two years."

"Almost, I haven't seen you for many years, and you are more beautiful than before."

"Thank you. You are more handsome than before! You have also become a big star and director. You are so awesome."

When they were on the set of "Little Li Flying Knives", the two could only play small supporting roles.

In just two years, they have grown into male and female protagonists.

Now that we meet again, I feel a little emotional in my heart.

In addition to the two of them, there is another person who feels deeply about this change.

That is Liu Changsheng, who plays the Green Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao.

In the drama "Little Li Flying Knife", he played the role of the old man Tianji who ranked first in Bai Xiaosheng's weapons list, while Jia Jingwen played his granddaughter.

So when the plot reaches Wan'an Temple, you can see Old Man Tianji teaching Sun Xiaohong a lesson.

"Director Lin, do you still remember me?"

"Hello, Mr. Liu, of course I remember."

Lin Xuan smiled and shook hands with him to say hello.

The two chatted briefly, and he continued to greet others.

"Teacher Guoli..."

"Hello Lin Xuan."

The two met at last year's Golden Eagle Awards ceremony, and Lin Xuan was dragged by him to sing a song.

As for the other two members of the Iron Triangle, it was his first time meeting them today.

Wang Gang talked to him with a smile, but Zhang Tielin had some objections to him.

When Ya Huan approached them, they agreed to let him play Yang Xiao.

As a result, when the list was announced, Lin Xuan changed him from Yang Xiao to Fan Yao.

Although these two characters are both light bringers, their roles in the play are very different.

What's even more annoying is that the person who replaced him turned out to be a young man who had never acted.

After Zhang Tielin inquired about it, he found out that this man was the prince of Rong Xinda.

He couldn't fight Lin Xuan, and he didn't dare to provoke Rong Xinda, so he could only be caught in the middle and suffer.

Lin Xuan walked around the banquet hall and suddenly saw a big man who was taller than him, and he looked more and more familiar.

"Hello, Teacher Xu."

Xu Jinjiang turned back in surprise.

Unexpectedly, Lin Xuan knew him and took the initiative to come over and say hello.

"Director Lin, hello."

Xu Jinjiang shook hands politely.

"Teacher Xu, I am your fan."

His words were not flattery, but came from the heart.

When it comes to kung fu movies, Cheng Long is number one.

When it comes to romance films, Xu Jinjiang is the number one.

Having been in the industry for many years, he has made romantic films with many female stars.

Ye Zimei, Shu Qi, Li Lizhen, Wen Hong...

There are also many classic works left behind.

"Jade Futon", "Girl Without Buttons", "Ten Tortures of the Manchu Qing Dynasty", "Twelve Rooms in Qin Tower" and so on.

What makes Lin Xuan even more impressed is that Xu Jinjiang can control himself when filming romantic movies.

He wore tape during filming on the set and never deliberately took advantage. This was praised by many female stars.

Unlike some male stars who do hooligan things in the name of art.

In addition to romantic movies, Xu Jinjiang also played many classic roles.

Oboi in "The Deer and the Cauldron", Leopard Head in "The Nine-Rank Sesame Official", the Moon Worshiping Leader in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", etc.

In addition, Xu Jinjiang is also a painter.

He studied painting from the master of traditional Chinese painting Guan Shanyue since he was a child. He is very professional and a painting once sold for a high price of 150 million.

"Thank you for your like. It's a great honor."

Xu Jinjiang didn't know which drama he liked and didn't dare to ask.

If Lin Xuan answered Fengyue Pian, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

He made these movies because his life was difficult, and he didn't really like them.

…………

The dinner officially began, and Lin Xuan still sat at Lai Shuiqing's table.

But no matter where he sat, he was the protagonist of the dinner, and celebrities kept coming to propose toasts.

With his current status, he doesn't need to drink too much. He can simply take a sip and express his feelings.

After the dinner, Lai Shuiqing told them to go back and rest early.

Don't go out and wander around, which will affect tomorrow's work.

The script reading meeting for "The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Slayer" lasted four days in total.

Lin Xuan and Lai Shuiqing compared the original work and deleted unreasonable lines and scenes in the original script.

After the reading meeting, it was time to practice martial arts routines, as well as the actors trying on makeup and styling, and taking makeup photos.

Regarding the martial arts routines, Lin Xuan discussed it with Ma Yucheng, the martial arts director of the show.

It should be light on special effects and heavy on martial arts, and the various actions should be as cool as possible.

Moreover, Jin Yong's novels are different from Gu Long's novels. The original novels have detailed descriptions of fighting, which is convenient for the crew to refer to.

The styling designer is Wu Baoling, who was also the designer of the 94 version of "The Legend of Heaven and Dragon Sword".

She designed hundreds of costumes based on the character traits of the characters in the play and the characters' position in the play's scenes.

The crew has sufficient funds, so there is no need to save money on costumes for this version.

Wu Baoling got Lin Xuan's promise, completely let go, drew her own ideas on paper, and then handed it over to the manufacturer for customization.

At the end of October, the martial arts training ended and the costumes and props were successfully completed and delivered.

The crew picked a good day and held the opening ceremony at the film and television city.

Lin Xuan's dramas never lack media reporters.

After the opening ceremony, dozens of media came over for interviews.

In addition to introducing this drama, what the media is most concerned about is the cast.

"Excuse me, producer Lin Xuan. You and Jia Jingwen have collaborated on "Little Li's Flying Knife" before. How do you feel about working together again after two and a half years?"

Lin Xuan and Jia Jingwen looked at each other and said with a smile: "I have a lot of thoughts, I have also talked about this with her.

More than two years ago in Hengdian, we were just supporting actors, but now we have become the leading actors and actresses. There is a feeling that things have changed and people have changed. "

"You and Gao Yuanyuan have collaborated for the fourth time. Some media reported that you two are an underground couple..."

Lin Xuan interrupted the question: "Yuanyuan and I are good friends, not some underground couple.

She is a very good actress, so we often collaborate with her. "

Lai Shuiqing also helped: "The choice of Gao Yuanyuan to play Zhou Zhiruo this time was recommended by producer Lin and I made the decision myself.

The reason is also very simple. She is somewhat similar to Zhou Haimei, the actor in the 94 version of Zhou Zhiruo. It is not as complicated as you think. "
