Chapter 207 Liu Yifei: Let’s discuss our own issues! (Please subscribe!)

"If you want to make this drama well, you must choose the actors well."

As a director, Li Dawei elaborated on his ideas and suggestions.

Romantic dramas do not require much acting skills, but the suitability of the role must be high.

To put it bluntly, after putting on costumes and makeup, the actor must have a temperament that matches the role.

There are several important characters in the play.

Needless to say, the male lead Jin Yanxi must be played by Lin Xuan.

With his looks and acting skills, playing the role of a romantic and wealthy young man is a piece of cake.

When the film and television department first approved the project, the leadership decided to let him play Jin Yanxi.

This character is very similar to Jia Baoyu, who is a parasite cultivated by a feudal family.

She loves to be jealous, loves to show off, is a bit of a dog licker, and is very good at flirting with girls and being romantic.

What you can't get is always in turmoil, but when you get it, you don't cherish it. You are a typical scumbag.

The female lead, Leng Qingqiu, is a progressive student who is simple-minded, loves poetry, and is strong and independent.

She is deeply influenced by traditional culture and lacks the spirit of resistance when faced with humiliation and injustice.

But she also accepted progressive ideas, had self-respect and self-love, and did not accept charity or mercy.

Even the ruined Jin family can still allow her to live a life without worries about food and clothing.

However, a marriage without love is a bondage to each other.

She chose to leave, preferring to live in poverty for the rest of her life rather than compromise.

The second female lead is Bai Xiuzhu. She comes from a wealthy family and is willful and unruly, but she deeply loves Jin Yanxi.

She had been educated in the West since she was a child. When she found out that Jin Yanxi was having an affair with another woman, she would bravely stand up and make a fuss instead of silently enduring like Leng Qingqiu.

It's a pity that her way of dealing with feelings is immature. Three fierce quarrels completely pushed Jin Yanxi to Leng Qingqiu.

…………

After the dinner was over and things were almost settled, everyone left the box and sent a few leaders away first.

"Then I'm leaving too. Goodbye everyone."

Waving goodbye in the parking lot, Lin Xuan was also ready to go home.

"Director Lin, wait a moment."

Producer Mr. You stopped him with a smile.

"What's wrong, Mr. You?"

Lin Xuan walked over doubtfully.

You Jianming asked him to get in the car and asked:

"Um...are you free tomorrow? Introduce a friend to you."

"Introduce a friend to me?" Lin Xuan didn't understand.

Today was the first time the two met, and they had nothing in common.

Why did you suddenly become so enthusiastic?

"Yes, he is a big real estate boss in Beijing. If I need your help, please ask me to make an appointment with you."

Real estate boss, Jinfen family, You Jianming...

Several factors were added together, and Lin Xuan immediately guessed who the big boss was.

"Big boss... OK, I'm free tomorrow."

"Great, then I'll make an appointment with him and call you when the time comes."

The middleman's task was completed, and You Jianming was quite happy.

the next morning.

Lin Xuan received the call.

You Jianming set the dinner time for the evening, at the boss's home, a large villa on the outskirts of Beijing.

"Okay, I understand... Don't worry, I will be there on time."

After hanging up the phone, a slender arm hooked his and asked in a lazy tone:

"Who?"

"The producer of "The Golden Family" and the boss of Shengqiang Film and Television."

"Oh, why is he looking for you?"

"I said that a big boss wants to see me. I guess it's probably about a role in a new drama."

"This drama is so popular... Do you want to stop considering it?"

Lin Xuan leaned down and kissed Fan Xiaopang:

"The heroine is a female student, and your charming face is really not suitable for her."

"Forget it, forget it, I won't give it if you don't give it." Fan Xiaopang turned over in disappointment.

She came to the courtyard at night and didn't fall asleep until early in the morning. Now she was sleepy.

Lin Xuan lay down and hugged her until noon.

He has a business performance in the capital in the afternoon.

A new building was officially launched for sale, and the merchant paid 150 million to invite him to sing two songs and participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Lin Xuan took a shower, changed clothes, and took a car to the villa area on the outskirts of Beijing.

The villa area is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery.

Security here is very strict, and vehicles are only allowed to pass after obtaining the permission of the villa owner.

"Wow, boss, the villas here are so big."

Qian Ze was used to living in courtyard houses of more than 2,000 square meters, so he was still surprised by the area of ​​these villas.

"Well, it's quite big."

Lin Xuan looked at the villas in front of him, which were estimated to be as big as half a football field.

The courtyard is close to the city center and has convenient transportation, but it is surrounded by alleys and is a bit noisy.

The villa area is far away from the city and has inconvenient transportation, but it is surrounded by mountains and rivers and has elegant scenery. He can't help but feel a little moved.

How about buying a villa here too.

If you want to be lively, go to the courtyard, and if you want to be quiet, go to the villa area. It’s the best of both worlds.

The Mercedes-Benz drove on the road in the villa area and soon stopped in front of a villa.

"Mr. You, you came quite early."

"I came early not to wait for you."

You Jianming took him in, and Lin Xuan took the opportunity to look at the garden outside the villa.

There were many flowers planted in the garden, but unfortunately it was too dark to see clearly, so I saw a swing.

Stepping into the door of the villa, a man and two women stood at the door to greet them.

Lin Xuan glanced at it and felt happy.

Sure enough, I guessed it right.

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

The middle-aged man in the lead came over to shake hands.

"Hello."

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Jinfei. I am engaged in real estate business in the capital."

"Mr. Chen is indeed in the real estate business. This villa is well chosen, quiet and elegant."

Hearing this, Chen Jinfei smiled proudly.

This villa area was built by his company. The residents are either rich or expensive, so the quality must not be bad.

"Director Lin, let me introduce to you. This is my friend Liu Xiaoli, a famous dancer."

Chen Jinfei pointed to the middle-aged woman behind him.

"Hello, Director Lin, nice to meet you."

"Sister Liu, hello."

Lin Xuan stretched out his hand and looked at her secretly.

Liu Xiaoli looks about forty.

Fair skin, good figure, MILF, still charming.

This call from Sister Liu made her very happy.

This kid can really talk.

"Sissi."

Liu Xiaoli waved, and a little girl of fifteen or sixteen years old came over.

"This is my daughter Liu Yifei, nicknamed Cixi, who just returned from studying in the United States."

"She is also my goddaughter." Chen Jinfei added.

Liu Yifei walked up to Lin Xuan and bowed politely: "Hello, brother."

She knew that Lin Xuan was born in 80 and was seven years older than her. With this age difference, it was not appropriate to call him uncle, but calling him brother would be enough.

Liu Xiaoli's expression was stunned, you are so messed up with your seniority.

Lin Xuan calls him sister, and Liu Yifei calls him brother. The three of them share the same seniority.

"Hello." Lin Xuan smiled and touched her head: "How old are you this year?" The fifteen-year-old fairy sister has not yet grown up.

Her facial features are still immature and her face is still covered with baby fat, but she can already tell that she is a beautiful woman.

Like Yang Mi, she also has a seal attached to her body, so she can be viewed from a distance but not played with.

Lin Xuan simply turned into a monster to take advantage of his words.

Liu Yifei was stunned by him.

Brother, I am a girl, not a young girl. What do you mean by touching your head and killing me?

Although she was complaining madly in her heart, Liu Yifei still said with a smile:

"I'm sixteen years old."

"Sixteen years old, it's time to go to high school."

Liu Xiaoli quickly explained: "Sissi has finished high school in the United States."

"That's right." Lin Xuan smiled and nodded.

After a few words of greeting, Chen Jinfei invited a few people to take their seats and arranged for Liu Yifei to sit next to Lin Xuan.

While the food was being served, Liu Xiaoli got close to Lin Xuan:

“During the Spring Festival Gala this year, Sissi became a fan immediately after watching Director Lin’s magic show.

Not only did he want to learn magic, he also read all of Director Lin's works. "

"Really."

Lin Xuan was a little surprised and turned to look at Liu Yifei.

I saw her smiling, and she was vaguely proud. It was obvious that this matter was true.

If you don’t study hard and watch TV every day, what is there to be proud of?

"Then which show and character do you like best?"

"Of course it's Linghu Chong in "The Swordsman"."

Liu Yifei did not hesitate.

This answer made Lin Xuan curious.

Although Linghu Chong is also very popular, compared with Nie Feng and Li Yuanfang, he is still slightly inferior.

Before he could ask, Liu Yifei explained:

"I don't like Nie Feng's indecisiveness. I don't like Li Yuanfang's stiffness and stiffness either.

I like Linghu Chong's bohemian, cheerful and open-minded character. "

I understand, I don’t like introverts, I like extroverts.

Liu Yifei talked a lot, and Lin Xuan kept chatting with her until the appetizers were served.

"Director Lin, do you drink red wine, white wine, or foreign wine?"

"The guest does as the host does."

"Then let's all drink red wine, and a friend happened to give us a few bottles of good wine brewed by foreign wineries."

Chen Jinfei pretended to be cool and asked the butler to open two bottles of red wine.

Although tonight is a family dinner, the dishes on the table are all carefully prepared by Western chefs.

French baked snails, grilled foie gras, red wine braised beef, pan-fried sturgeon, cream of beef soup...

A few people chatted while eating, and the topic gradually shifted to the entertainment industry.

Chen Jinfei said: "Director Lin, I won't hide from you anymore.

Sissi likes acting and wants to enter the entertainment industry in the future. I will definitely support her.

Although I know nothing about the entertainment industry, I also know that Director Lin is the most popular actor in Mainland China, bar none! "

"This is too exaggerated." Lin Xuan waved his hand modestly.

“It’s no exaggeration, everyone across the country knows this.

If Sissi can get guidance from Director Lin, she will definitely have a smooth career in the entertainment industry. "

Lin Xuan deliberately pretended to be stupid, looked at Liu Yifei and said:

"It's okay to give me some advice. If you have any questions about acting, you can always come to me for consultation."

"Thank you brother."

Liu Yifei smiled and nodded in agreement.

Chen Jinfei said bluntly: "Although I am an outsider, I also know that resources are the most important thing in the entertainment industry.

I heard that Director Lin and Mr. You are about to shoot a TV series called "The Golden Family".

Xiaoli and Sissi read the script and she liked the role of Bai Xiuzhu very much.

I invited Director Lin over for dinner today because I want you to meet Sissi and see if she is suitable for this role. "

Chen Jinfei explained the purpose of this dinner party.

Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli, and You Jianming all turned to look at him.

Lin Xuan looked at Liu Yifei and felt that she was quite nervous.

"Bai Xiuzhu is the eldest lady, and Sissi's appearance and temperament are quite suitable..."

As soon as a smile broke out on Liu Yifei's face, she was ruthlessly interrupted by Lin Xuan:

"But Sissi has never studied acting, so it might be a bit difficult for her to challenge the second female lead right from the beginning. It's such a complicated role."

Lin Xuan's words were considered a polite refusal, but he didn't say anything to death.

There are definitely difficulties. It depends on whether you have solutions to them.

Liu Xiaoli was a little anxious and asked: "Does Director Lin mean that Sissi is not suitable?"

Lin Xuan explained: "Sissi is still young, so it would be best to spend two years in film school.

But if she really wants to play Baek Xiuzhu, she should come to the audition in a few days.

By then, I, Director Li, Mr. You, and several other leaders will all be there. "

Although Lin Xuan and You Jianming are both investors in "Golden Pink Family", this drama is a key project.

If you want to use the back door, you must first pass this level.

Of course Chen Jinfei knew the relationship here.

He invited Lin Xuan over for dinner just to gain his approval.

As long as he says a few nice words in front of the leader, Liu Yifei's chances of being selected will be greatly increased.

In the same way, if Lin Xuan does not approve of Liu Yifei, it will be useless even if he bribes the director or producer.

For the sake of the ratings of this drama, Lin Xuan's opinion will definitely be taken more seriously.

"Then let Sissi go to the audition. Even if she doesn't get selected, it would be good to experience it."

Chen Jinfei suddenly spoke, obviously they had made their decision before.

"Then you should prepare well in the past few days."

"Well, thank you brother."

"Stop calling me brother, you're already a senior."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Hearing this, everyone laughed.

Liu Yifei reacted, glanced at Liu Xiaoli, blushed slightly and said:

"It's not good to call me uncle, you are seven years older than me.

We both talk about our own affairs, I call you brother and you call me mom and sister. "

Lin Xuan shook his head helplessly: "As long as you like it."

Dinner is over.

Chen Jinfei invited Lin Xuan to taste cigars.

The two came to the study room on the first floor. Chen Jinfei took out two limited edition Cohiba cigars from the cigar cabinet with constant temperature and humidity.

While they were puffing away their smoke, Chen Jinfei asked:

"What does Director Lin think of my house?"

“Very nice, quiet and elegant, luxurious and low-key.”

Chen Jinfei smiled and said: “Actually, this community was developed by our company.

A total of thirty-six villas were built, thirty-two were sold, and four are left. "

"Mr. Chen, you have a successful career." Lin Xuan pretended to be surprised and praised him a few times.

Chen Jinfei took out a house sales contract from the drawer: "Director Lin, I will trouble you about Qianqian's matter."

Lin Xuan took the contract and looked through it, feeling a little surprised.

The price of a large, well-decorated villa with more than 300 square meters in the suburbs of Beijing will never be less than million.

The villa in the contract was only sold for 100 million, which is equivalent to spending 200 million to buy the character Bai Xiuzhu.

Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment and put the contract away: "I still have to go to the audition."

Chen Jinfei smiled and said: "Don't worry, Director Lin. Sissi is not a joke, she really likes acting."

"It can be seen that she is actually quite suitable for this industry."

After the behind-the-scenes deal was over, the two walked out of the study talking and laughing.

"It's getting late, I'll go back first."

"Director Lin, walk slowly. Sissi, please see me off."

"Goodbye, brother Lin Xuan!"
