China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 206 Chen Hong: She is one year older than me! (Please subscribe!)

Lin Xuan left the venue early and returned to the hotel room.

He untied his clothes and threw them on the sofa, unscrewed a bottle of water from the small refrigerator, and drank a few gulps.

The light was still on in the bathroom, and there was the sound of running water.

Wang Likun came back early and was taking a shower at the moment.

Although he drank ice water, Lin Xuan's body became hotter and hotter.

He threw away the bottle and went into the bathroom.

"Hey! Why did you come in? I haven't finished washing yet."

"Hey, let's wash together."

…………

Late at night, after eleven o'clock.

Lin Xuan leaned on the bedside and looked at the person beside him.

Wang Likun's eyes were blurry and her pretty face was as pink as a bright peony.

"Look at what I'm doing. If you have anything to say, just say it."

Lin Xuan was thoughtful, and he knew from the look on her face that she had something to say.

"You... are leaving tomorrow."

"Yes, there are still a lot of things waiting to be dealt with in the capital."

He is too busy with work this year.

In addition to having several movies to film, we also have to record songs, check post-production, perform in commercials, shoot commercials, and accept endorsements...

Otherwise, he wouldn't have let the crew focus on filming his scenes.

Wang Likun hesitated for a moment and asked: "Is there a new TV series to be filmed?"

Lin Xuan is currently focusing on the TV drama market. This is no secret in the industry, so she asked.

"Yes, it is a romantic drama of the Republic of China, similar to "Love in the Rain"."

Hearing this, Wang Likun's eyes lit up: "In the Republic of China drama, is there a role suitable for me?"

Lin Xuan suddenly realized.

No wonder Wang Likun seemed hesitant to speak.

It turned out that everyone else was about to leave, and the gun money hadn’t been given yet.

The young lady is still too naive and is embarrassed to ask for a role.

If you were a veteran in the industry, you would never let go of the rabbit before you see the rabbit. If you don't get a role, you won't even think about touching my mother.

Lin Xuan is not the kind of person who prostitutes for free.

She has worked hard to serve him for half a month and also works part-time as a masseur, so some resources should be given to him.

"There are many female roles in this drama. There must be one suitable for you. Come and audition when the time comes."

Lin Xuan is an investor in this drama, and when he wants a few roles, he only has one sentence.

His tone was so relaxed, which was also a hint to Wang Likun.

The role can be given, but there won’t be many scenes.

Before he was stupid enough to get some sleep, he promised the second and third girls to go out.

"um. Thank you."

When Wang Likun entered the entertainment industry for the first time, she didn’t have any dreams of reaching the world in one step.

I was very satisfied when I heard that there was a role for me to play.

Lin Xuan's drama has guaranteed ratings.

Even a small role with few lines is more popular than the starring roles in many small-budget TV series.

After the deal was concluded, Lin Xuan hugged her and said, "Just a thank you?"

Wang Likun rolled her eyes at him, lifted the quilt and put her head in.

……

At noon the next day, Lin Xuan flew back to the capital.

After resting in the courtyard for one night, I received a call from Chen Hong the next day.

"Hey, you're finally back."

"I haven't seen you for two months. Do you miss me?"

"Bah, glib."

How do you know I am glib? Have you tasted it?

Lin Xuan was about to retaliate like this, but then he thought about it, he had actually tasted it.

"Haha, what's going on?"

"You are such a noble person and forgetful about things. You let me be the producer just to be the boss."

When it came to the producer, Lin Xuan finally remembered.

"I haven't forgotten. Is the post-production of "The Best in the World" ready?"

"It's been done a long time ago, just waiting for you to come and review it."

"Okay, I'll be right over."

After changing clothes, Lin Xuan called Qian Ze and others to go out in the car.

When he arrived at the studio, Chen Hong and the outsourced post-production team were waiting for him.

"Hello, Director Lin."

"Hello, you've had a hard time."

Lin Xuan shook hands with them and said hello.

After exchanging a few words, everyone went to the viewing room to check on the post-production.

After plugging in the CD, Lin Xuan sat on the sofa, holding a notebook in his hand, ready to record questions at any time.

The post-production of "No. 1 in the World" has been completed.

Including editing, special effects, music, dubbing, and subtitles.

This CD can be directly handed over to TV stations for playback.

But Lin Xuan is the director and producer of this drama.

Before screening, he had to review it to make sure the final effect met his requirements.

Lin Xuan was very serious when watching the drama and recorded revision comments in his notebook from time to time.

Every time he writes, the person in charge of the post-production team becomes more nervous.

Although the two parties have signed a contract, if Lin Xuan wants to replace the later team, they have nothing to do.

What's even more troublesome is that once the news of Lin Xuan's return spreads, their team's reputation in the circle will be bad, and it will be more difficult to take over jobs in the future.

The first disc burned five episodes of the TV series, and Lin Xuan wrote two pages of revision comments.

"It's getting late, let's watch five episodes first."

Hearing this, the person in charge's heart rose to his throat, like a criminal waiting to be sentenced in court.

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "It seems that I chose the right person. The first five episodes are quite satisfactory overall."

Hearing this, the person in charge breathed a long sigh of relief.

I finally passed the test, and it was not in vain that the post-production team stayed up late and worked for so long.

Lin Xuan handed him the notebook in his hand:

"But there are still many flaws in the first five episodes. I have marked them all. Please hurry up and correct them."

"No problem, I'll go back and revise it right away."

The person in charge quickly took the notebook.

"As for the rest, I'll take it home and look at it, and I'll give you my revisions in a few days."

"No problem, the first five episodes should be revised by then."

The person in charge assured, patting his chest.

A few days are enough to modify some details according to the markings.

After the person in charge left, Lin Xuan called the studio team together for a meeting.

Today's "Lin Xuan Studio" is no longer the three or two kittens it used to be. The more than twenty workstations outside are already occupied.

In addition to fixed positions such as manager, finance, front desk, security, and legal advisor.

The studio has also added a new public relations department, which is responsible for monitoring Lin Xuan's reputation in online media and establishing good relations with the media.

There is also an agency department responsible for reviewing scripts, commercial performances, advertisements, and various invitations.

And the charity department is responsible for field trips and donating money to children in poor areas.

Small but complete.

Lin Xuan Studio already has the prototype of a large film and television company.

At present, the studio of more than 100 square meters can no longer meet the work needs.

Lin Xuan has rented the two rooms next door and they will be put into use in the second half of the year.

After listening to the reports from each department, Lin Xuan arranged their next work direction.

After an hour, the meeting ended.

Lin Xuan pushed open the door of the reception room, and Chen Hong was lying on the sofa reading a book.

There was a cup of coffee on the coffee table, and the golden sunlight shone on her through the window.

This scene is quiet and beautiful. Chen Hong is like a wealthy lady, lazy and leisurely.

"The meeting is over?"

"Well, long wait."

"It's okay, I just have time to read a book."

As he spoke, Chen Hong covered his mouth and yawned. Lin Xuan chuckled: "I fell asleep while reading. If I had come ten minutes later, you would probably have fallen asleep."

"The sun is too bright."

Chen Hong was a little embarrassed and hit him with a book.

"Let's go and eat at my place tonight."

"Ah."

It is said that a little farewell is better than a newlywed.

Not seeing each other for months is like a volcano erupting.

In the master bedroom of the courtyard, Lin Xuan and Chen Hong enjoyed the rare good time and fully expressed their love for each other.

When it got dark, the room finally became quiet.

The two cuddled together contentedly.

"Going back tonight?"

Chen Hong no longer had the energy to speak, so she shook her head gently.

"Why, Lao Chen doesn't care about you now?"

"Everyone is busy with his own business, and no one cares about anyone else."

As soon as the words were spoken, Chen Hong suddenly felt a little inappropriate and quickly defended:

"Your great director spends all his time having fun and drinking, so you don't allow women to find a companion?"

"You? Who else?"

"What do you say?"

Chen Hong raised his head and looked at him seriously.

"I……"

Lin Xuan wanted to make a few excuses.

But when I thought about my own virtue, I suddenly couldn't open my mouth.

"From what you say, the wives of other directors are also restless."

Lin Xuan quickly changed the topic.

Chen Hong rolled her eyes at him and said:

"Of course. The entertainment industry is so messy. It's harder to find a clean one than to dig for gold in the sand."

Chen Hong's words were somewhat self-deprecating.

However, Lin Xuan is not a good person and has no right to make irresponsible remarks to others.

After listening to Chen Hong's words, he thought of a woman and asked:

"What about Director Feng's wife Xu Fan? Is she the same?"

"Hmph, both of them are not clean, I..."

Halfway through, Chen Hong suddenly shut up and turned around to look at him in surprise:

"Why are you asking this? Are you attracted to Xu Fan? She is one year older than me!"

Lin Xuan quickly hugged her hard and explained:

"Don't think so wildly, Huayi held its annual meeting some time ago.

I thought she and Director Feng were getting along well, and they seemed gentle and virtuous, so I asked more questions. "

Perhaps it was because of the movie filter, but after watching "The Big Thing", he always thought Xu Fan was that kind of traditional woman.

Chen Hong curled his lips and said disdainfully:

"Gentle and virtuous... She is a Chinese actress and her acting skills are much better than mine. She can't act in any style."

Lin Xuan smiled helplessly. This question was a trap. No matter how he answered it, it would be wrong.

"Okay, don't be jealous. Are you hungry? What do you want to eat tonight?"

Chen Hong got on his horse and said, "Eat you!"

…………

Back in the capital, Lin Xuan locked himself in his room every day and carefully checked the post-production of "The Best in the World".

For other TV series, he could only care about the ratings, but this is his first TV series that he wrote, directed, and starred in, so he is particularly concerned about it.

A few days later, he suddenly received a call from Director Wu of the Film and Television Department.

"Lin Xuan, I heard that you have finished your work and returned to the capital?"

"Yeah, I just came back a few days ago."

"It's great, the cast and crew of "Golden Pink Family" are all here.

When are you free, let’s meet and chat together. "

"Well... tomorrow, tomorrow night."

"Okay, then it's settled."

At noon the next day, Lin Xuan came to the studio.

First meet with the post-production team to check the revisions of the first five episodes.

The outsourcing team is very efficient and everything was corrected within a few days.

After Lin Xuan passed the inspection, he handed over the new notebook and explained how to modify the remaining episodes.

Things were settled here, and it was getting dark outside the window. He took the car to the restaurant box.

"Sorry for being late, there's a bit of a traffic jam during the evening rush hour."

There were seven or eight people sitting in the box.

Except for Director Wu and another leader of the film and television department, it was the first time for Lin Xuan to meet everyone else.

"It's okay, we just arrived."

Director Wu stood up and pointed to the others: "Here, let me introduce you.

This is Mr. You from Shengqiang Film and Television and the producer of this show. "

"Hello, Mr. You."

"Director Lin, I have long admired your name."

The two briefly shook hands and said a few words.

"This is director Li Dawei."

"Hello."

Lin Xuan smiled and shook hands with him, while Li Dawei's expression was a bit strange.

When he was filming "The Storm" in Hengdian, there were rumors of an affair between him and Jiang Qingqing while shopping.

Some time ago, "The Storm" was on the air, and the media brought out the scandal between the two, causing a stir.

And Li Dawei is Jiang Qingqing's ex-boyfriend, which means they are of the same mind.

How can it not be awkward to meet your ex-girlfriend's rumored boyfriend?

Lin Xuan was thick-skinned and smiled as if nothing happened.

It was probably the first time Li Dawei encountered such a thing, and he felt uncomfortable all over.

In addition to the two of them, there were also the screenwriter, producer, producer, deputy director, etc. of "The Golden Family" in the box.

After everyone got to know each other briefly, we sat down to eat and chat together.

The first thing we want to talk about is the script of this drama.

"The Golden Pink Family" is adapted from the novel of the same name by Zhang Henshui, a writer of the Mandarin Duck and Butterfly School during the Republic of China.

Zhang Henshui is good at writing about talented men and beautiful women, about men and women loving each other, but not falling into the cliché.

Not only were his novels well written, at his peak, the royalties for one work were as high as 8000 oceans, and he could buy a palace at that time.

He writes very fast, and at most he writes seven books at the same time. He can even play mahjong and write novels at the same time.

Zhang Ailing regarded him as her idol because he determined the future creative direction.

Lu Xun's mother was a die-hard fan of Zhang Henshui, and the filial son often queued up to buy his novels.

Even Zhang Xueliang and Jiang and Song Dynasties liked his works.

"The Golden Family" is based on "A Dream of Red Mansions".

It tells the love story between Jin Yanxi, the son of the Beiyang warlord cabinet prime minister, and Leng Qingqiu, a poor student.

The charming Jin Yanxi has a well-matched girlfriend Bai Xiuzhu.

However, during an outing, he met the female student Leng Qingqiu and fell in love with her at first sight.

In order to pursue Leng Qingqiu, Jin Yanxi rented next door to Leng's family in the name of running a poetry club.

Knowing that the Leng family was not financially well-off, he often sent clothes and shoes to Leng Qingqiu.

He also invited her to listen to plays and go on outings, and spent a lot of time on her, even breaking up with Bai Xiuzhu, the sister of the deputy prime minister.

Leng Qingqiu was gradually moved, and their relationship warmed up and they got married soon.

However, the Jin family's strict family rules made Leng Qingqiu breathless.

What made her even more desperate was that Jin Yanxi seemed to be a different person after marriage.

He often stayed up late at night and didn't work every day. He just hung out with his friends and spent money like water.

Emotionally, he is not connected with his ex-girlfriend Bai Xiuzhu, and he is also obsessed with a pair of actress sisters.

He forgot Leng Qingqiu's birthday, and even Jin Yanxi was not at home the night she gave birth to her child early.

Until my father suddenly suffered a stroke and died.

The Jin family tree fell and scattered, crashing down.

Divorce of divorce, separation of family, bankruptcy of bankruptcy... Even Bai Xiuzhu left him.

Then there was a fire, which burned everything in the huge Jin family, and Leng Qingqiu and her children were missing.

Jin Yanxi, who had nothing, finally remembered the goodness of Leng Qingqiu and began to look for the dream in his heart again.

The original work of "The Golden Family" is very exciting, but the crew must not copy it directly. They must consider the aesthetics and preferences of the current audience.

The screenwriter had already written the first version of the script, and Lin Xuan put it in his bag to take it home and read it.
