Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 425 423. There is no fender in the car

In the lively room, everyone seated was facing Chen Li'an, as if the stars were overlapping the moon.

Zhang Ziyi looked at Chen Li'an, who was mainly a guest, and felt a sense of pride and pride in his heart, as if Yu Jiaolong had obtained the Qingming Sword.

Zhou Runfa wore half-makeup, had a friendly smile, and chatted with Zhang Ziyi for a few words without any airs.

He has been around for so long that he knows how to give face to the big boss on such occasions. Since he is here to support Zhang Ziyi, he should give Zhang Ziyi enough respect. This is how to give face to Chen Li'an.

Boss, I don’t know how many times I’ve heard flattery. A more tactful approach would be more satisfying.

Zhang Ziyi chatted with Zhou Runfa with a smile and respect, but she didn't like him at all in her heart. During the previous training, Zhou Runfa gave her a lot of looks.

Not only her, but also few mainlanders in the entire crew were looked at seriously by him.

As a big star in Hong Kong, it is understandable to have a temper, but such a change of face before and after shattered all the star halo.

Zhang Ziyi has understood the world in his heart, and everything depends on strength!

After Zhou Runfa and Zhang Ziyi chatted for a while, they turned to look at Feng Xiaogang. Although they had just met, they still smiled, but their tone was not so respectful to Li An.

There is no need to say much about the difference between a big Hollywood director and a small mainland director.

Zhang Ziyi observed silently, with a little contempt in his heart, but more of a fighting spirit.

Sooner or later, one day I will become a person respected by others!

Thinking of this chapter, Ziyi turned to look at Chen Li'an, who was chatting with Li An, and felt that he was the secret to his fastest success!

As long as he can be bound to Chen Li'an in the future, no one in the circle will dare to look down on him, even if he looks down on him behind his back, he will have to hold it back in person!

This feeling makes Zhang Ziyi feel like he has caught the secret of success. Opportunities are hard to come by and must not be missed!

A few people were sitting there chatting casually. As for the audition mentioned at the beginning, it seemed that there was no need for it.

Zhang Ziyi himself is a candidate, and now he feels good in costume. With Chen Li'an behind him, why not do something personal?

Li An is not a young man who doesn't understand the world. He has been immersed in Hollywood for so long, so he naturally understands some rules.

Although he is no longer in the country, but now he is making movies in the country, and he has to give face to some people.

Going even further, Chen Li'an's own status and influence are not limited to the country. If you give people face today, you will be rewarded in the future.

Chen Li'an, Li An and the others chatted for a while, then looked at how late it was and stood up and said, "I have some things to do today and I have to leave first. It's nice to meet a few of you. When the movie is finished, I'll treat you to dinner." ."

"I also want to treat you to dinner and play cards together in the evening." Zhou Runfa stood up and looked at Chen Li'an and said pretending to be pity.

"Next time I have the chance." Chen Li'an responded with a smile, and then said to Li An: "Director Li, I'm going to leave now. I'll come back another day. If you need help in the future, you can always come to me."

Li An laughed when he heard this, shook hands with Chen Li'an, said a few polite words and sent him out.

Zhang Ziyi was still in costume and wanted to go out with Chen Li'an, but it was inconvenient, so she ran to Chen Li'an and whispered softly: "Teacher Chen, I'm going to change clothes first. Can you wait for me? I'll be quick."

"Okay, ten minutes, I'll wait for you in the car." After Chen Li'an said that, he left directly.

Zhang Ziyi immediately clenched his fists happily, turned around and ran to the dressing room.

In less than ten minutes, Zhang Ziyi changed her clothes and came back. There was still sweat on her forehead when she got into the car.

Chen Li'an glanced at him and handed over a packet of paper and said, "Wipe your sweat. Now the stone in your heart has fallen to the ground. I think Li An is very satisfied with your performance today."

Zhang Ziyi nodded excitedly, looked at Chen Li'an and said, "Thanks to Teacher Chen for your help."

Chen Li'an hummed and asked, "Do you want to go back to school? I'll take you back."

"I don't have classes today, so I don't have to go back to school." Zhang Ziyi mustered up the courage to look into Chen Li'an's eyes, and his nervous little hands were about to break the leather seat buttons.

Chen Li'an didn't say anything, and Zhang Ziyi immediately said anxiously: "Teacher Chen, give me a chance to thank you!"

"Okay." Chen Li'an paused, looked at Zhang Ziyi with interest and said, "How are you going to thank me?"

Zhang Ziyi paused and bit his lip and said, "I can do anything for Teacher Chen."

After Zhang Ziyi finished speaking, he wanted to stick to Chen Li'an, but Chen Li'an stretched out his hand to block him.

Rejected again? Zhang Ziyi felt that all his self-confidence and self-esteem had completely collapsed due to Chen Li'an's repeated rejections.

Am I that bad? ! Zhang Ziyi couldn't understand why Chen Li'an wanted to help him when he looked down on him.

Chen Li'an didn't look at Zhang Ziyi's face. He just calmly ordered the driver to drive. Then he leaned on the seat and grabbed Zhang Ziyi and pulled her in front of him.

The back seat of the luxury car was quite spacious. Zhang Ziyi fell under the seat and looked at Chen Li'an with tears in his eyes. Wasn't he even worthy of sitting next to him?

"Teacher Chen, me"

Zhang Ziyi looked at Chen Li'an and heard a subtle zipper sound before she finished speaking. She looked down slightly and saw a scene that shocked her.

Zhang Ziyi couldn't help but swallowed. At this time, he still didn't understand what Chen Li'an meant.

But now we are in a car, and there is a driver in front of us.

Zhang Ziyi subconsciously turned his head and glanced ahead. From this angle, the driver seemed invisible, and the driver probably couldn't see him either.

"Don't you want to thank me? Aren't you willing to do anything? Let me see your determination."

Chen Li'an pinched Zhang Ziyi's chin, leaned over slightly and looked into her eyes and said: "I told you last time on the dam, don't mess with me. It's still too late to regret now. The role of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is mine. gave it to you."

Zhang Ziyi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered her previous experience on the set. Li'an didn't want to see her, and Zhou Runfa looked down on her. But today, because of Chen Li'an's appearance, everything changed. She didn't want to be looked down upon again in the future!

Zhang Ziyi woke up instantly, as if he was possessed by Yu Jiaolong, and instantly grabbed the Qingming Sword!

Don't miss this opportunity!

Grab it! Can't miss this opportunity!

If the opportunity is in front of you, you must seize it. If you can't seize it, then bite it! Definitely not to be missed!

Chen Li'an leaned on his seat with his eyes closed, as if Li Mubai was in meditation. So what if the Qingming Sword was robbed, she couldn't take it away!

The driver sat in front and drove quietly, and thoughtfully raised the rearview mirror in the car.

How could I watch the embarrassing scene of the boss being caught?

She has been following Chen Li'an for several years. She has encountered some embarrassing scenes before, but it has never been so outrageous this time.

If you don't look back, you won't be able to see it. It's just that you can't block out the sound. You should apply to buy a car with an extended length and soundproof partition later.

The driver tried his best to diffuse his thoughts, immersed himself in the fantasy of luxury cars, and tried not to listen to those strange sounds.

Otherwise, she won't be able to sleep well at night. She is also a woman. Looking at such a handsome boss every day, it is inevitable that she will have some fantasies in her heart.

Soon the car arrived at the familiar Kunlun Hotel. Listening to the sounds in the car, the driver circled the door of the Kunlun Hotel several times until he heard Zhang Ziyi's coughing sound, and then stopped the car at the door of the Kunlun Hotel.

Chen Li'an looked at Zhang Ziyi who kept coughing, and waited for her to recover before saying, "Get out of the car and treat you to a meal to celebrate your winning the role of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."

Zhang Ziyi's throat moved and he couldn't help but cough. He said hoarsely and seductively: "I just ate something good. I'm not hungry. How about we go up and have a rest?"

Chen Li'an couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Zhang Ziyi got into the state very quickly and has good learning ability!

No wonder I was able to succeed later. I was willing to adapt quickly. It makes no sense to not succeed.

After Chen Li'an got off the car, he couldn't help but think about one thing. How did Zhang Ziyi get this role in his previous life?

Li An likes her acting skills? Zhang Yimo’s strong recommendation for showing off his old face?

Tsk, never mind, who knows those things, just help her in this life.

Chen Li'an turned to look at Zhang Ziyi who was following him, and took her directly to the top floor.

However, Chen Li'an didn't stay in the hotel for the night, so Zhang Ziyi was still a little thinner and a little useless.

There is no point in staying at night, let her have a good rest.

At night, Chen Li'an returned to his flat, sat comfortably on the sofa and drank red wine. Looking at the bright lights outside, he really felt that the new century was coming.

Everything here was slowly overlapping with the scenes in his memory, and before he knew it, six or seven years had passed.

We arrived here in 1993, and things started to happen in 1994. Counting the days, it has already been almost seven years.

But looking back on the past few years, Chen Li'an feels that he has been relatively successful. Although he is not as good as those magical bosses in the novel who became the richest man in the country in one year and the richest man in the world in two years, he is not bad at all.

Chen Li'an drank all the red wine in his glass and went back to his room to sleep.

The next day, Chen Li'an got up and washed up. As soon as he left the bedroom, he saw Li Xue making breakfast at the dining table.

Chen Li'an walked over, picked up a bun, took a bite and said, "You made it yourself? Why are you here so early?"

Li Xue did not answer Chen Li'an, but boldly asked: "Is it delicious?"

Chen Li'an nodded and said, "Not bad. I didn't expect you to have such skills."

"I just learned it." Li Xue smiled and then got down to business, taking out Chen Li'an's schedule and saying: "Mr. Chen, you have a lot of schedule today. There are too many things that have been backlogged before, and now they all need to be dealt with. "

Chen Li'an was eating steamed buns and asked, "Did you have an appointment with Lao Jia and Lou Ye today?"

"Yes, one at nine o'clock and one at ten o'clock." Li Xue replied immediately.

"It's about nine o'clock." Chen Li'an paused and said, "On what date will Li Fuzhen leave for Yangcheng?"

"Mr. Li arrived in Yangcheng yesterday. I received a notice today that she will come to the capital tomorrow to handle some formalities for Lixin mobile phones."

"Then you can ask her about her schedule later and have a meal together tomorrow night."

"I've checked Mr. Li's itinerary. I don't have time tomorrow night. I might not have time until the day after tomorrow."

Chen Li'an paused while eating the buns. He always felt a bad premonition, but he didn't care. Li Fuzhen was much busier than him, so it was no surprise that he didn't have time to eat together.

After breakfast, Chen Li'an and Li Xue took a car to the company's new address.

Henderson Building has two floors, one for advertising business and one for film and television business.

Now the two businesses are completely separated. Chen Meiren is in charge of advertising, and Li Xue and Li Dabai are in charge of film and television. However, Chen Meiren is still nominally in charge of the overall situation.

Chen Li'an went to see Chen Meiren, chatted with her for a while and then went upstairs.

Sitting in the spacious office, Chen Meiren thought about the path Chen Li'an had just given her, and suddenly felt that it would not be a bad thing to completely separate the company's business.

A big tree attracts wind, but if it is separated, it will be much better. And the upper limit of the film and television business in the country is visible to the naked eye, but there is a lot of potential in the advertising and media field.

Chen Meiren knocked on the table and muttered to herself: "Magazines. Magazines are indeed a good choice, but why invest in the Internet."

In Chen Meiren's opinion, the communication power of the Internet is completely inferior to offline advertising spaces and TV advertisements, so there is no need to invest.

Chen Meiren usually doesn't pay much attention to the Internet, and she always feels that this thing is unreliable.

But now that Chen Li'an has pointed it out, he must do it. If he doesn't believe in himself, he has to believe in Chen Li'an's vision.

Chen Meiren knocked the pen in her hand on the table and immediately decided to learn about the domestic Internet.

At this time, Chen Li'an, who was on the floor above, was chatting with Jia Zhangke, who had just arrived.

"After the post-production of the movie, why has it been delayed for so long without any action?" Chen Li'an looked at Jia Zhangke and asked curiously: "Are you busy falling in love?"

Jia Zhangke blushed, looked at Chen Li'an and said, "I want to participate in the Berlin Film Festival, but I have to wait until next year."

Chen Li'an said oh and said with a smile: "When do you plan to marry your sister-in-law?"

"Next year, next year is the new century." Jia Zhangke said with a smile.

Chen Li'an nodded slightly and asked casually, "Have you been in contact with Zhao Tao recently? This girl is actually quite talented."

"Yes, we talk on the phone often. I also think she is very talented. She is different from actors who have graduated from majors. She has strong personal characteristics, simple and has a strong mark of the times."

Jia Zhangke finished speaking excitedly in one breath, looked at Chen Li'an and continued: "I didn't expect you to feel this way, so I'll look for her in my next movie!"

Chen Li'an: "." I'm just an average A player, but I didn't expect to trick him into showing up.

Jia Zhangke has already fallen in love with Zhao Tao, but he shouldn't have gotten to that point yet, otherwise he wouldn't have married his girlfriend.

Chen Li'an didn't know what to say to Jia Zhangke. How could a playboy like himself be qualified to talk about other people's emotional problems.

Fortunately, Lou Ye came over at this time. He was more excited to see Jia Zhangke here than to see Chen Li'an. The two had known each other for a long time. As soon as they met, they couldn't control the resonance and attraction of being independent filmmakers together.

Okay, let’s stop chatting about serious business and let’s chat first. Chen Li’an immediately joined in and chatted with them about film festivals, film censorship, independent films, and the current domestic film market.

Both of them were quite unhappy. They felt that there was no way for artistic films to survive in China. Theaters and distributors were not interested in artistic films and censored them very strictly.

After the two of them sighed for a while, they couldn't help but said: "Sometimes we don't want to participate in foreign film festivals, but we have no choice."

Chen Li'an didn't have any good solutions to this problem. This kind of thing was too sensitive and he couldn't control it.

Chen Li'an knocked on the table and said: "Let's get down to business first. If the Suzhou River fails to pass the review, it will be sent to the film festival."

In the original time and space, Lou Ye had no money for half of the filming, so he cut a version and sent it to the Paris Film Festival. He won an award and made money before continuing to complete the rest of the filming.

Now with Chen Li'an's investment, there is no need to follow the old path, but it still cannot be released in China.

The question now is which film festival to attend.

Chen Li'an thought for a while and said: "Don't participate in small film festivals. This year is too late and Venice cannot participate. Wait until next year to participate in Cannes or Venice."

"Why not Berlin?" Lou Ye asked curiously.

Jia Zhangke immediately smiled and said: "I want to participate in the Berlin Film Festival next year, so let's not bump into each other."

Lou Ye nodded slightly and said, "That's right, then I'll attend Cannes."

Chen Li'an couldn't help laughing, looked at him and asked: "Don't have confidence in yourself? What's wrong with Cannes? How do you know there is no hope if you don't participate?"

Lou Ye shook his head and said, "It's better to say goodbye. Cannes is too difficult. I'd rather attend Venice."

Venice is indeed more suitable. Chen Li'an didn't say anything. After deciding on the matter, he chatted with them for a few more words and ended today's meeting.

He had too much to deal with today, otherwise he would have gone out drinking with them.

After sending Lou Ye and Jia Zhangke away, Chen Li'an started to be busy with other things. There were many things for Magic Flute and Lixin that he needed to deal with. In addition, he also had to pay attention to the talent show.

Li Xue sat opposite Chen Li'an and reported the latest situation. Several countries and regions started at the same time at the end of July and it will officially end at the end of September.

There are a total of nine episodes of the program. The first eight episodes are separate battles, and the last episode is the All-Asia Finals.

This will be a grand event, much bigger than beauty pageants like Miss Universe.

The audience of beauty pageants is not as large as that of talent shows. Music programs are suitable for all ages, but talent shows are only popular among men.

After seeing the progress of each competition area and the popularity in the local area, Chen Li'an was generally satisfied. International competitions are more attractive.

Almost everyone who follows this show is looking forward to the final victory of their country's players.

This kind of honor cannot be compared to a random draft.

At this time, Li Xue handed Chen Li'an a list and said: "Although we have obtained the license to produce the program, we are also the first batch.

However, we haven't reached an agreement on the broadcast. The General Administration attaches great importance to this program. Now several TV stations are competing for it. I'm worried that if it continues to be delayed, the recording will be delayed. "

Chen Li'an couldn't help but smile and said: "What about CCTV? Didn't you show the momentum of Big Brother?"

Li Xue said awkwardly: "Big brother can't stop the little brothers from uniting to protest."

When Chen Li'an thought about it, it was true. Looking at the list, he couldn't help but frowned and said, "Why are you still fighting for channels that are not on the stars? Isn't this nonsense?"

Li Xue pursed her lips and said nothing. She is not a star now, but if she gets the rights to broadcast the show, she will definitely be a star.

Chen Li'an thought for a while and said: "Make it simple, the highest bidder wins. CCTV likes to hold auctions, so let's make one too."

Li Xue couldn't help but smile, nodded and said, "I understand. I will talk to them alone and try to finalize it within three days."

"Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you a big red envelope when I finish this work." Chen Lian looked at Li Xue's empty neck and couldn't help but ask: "Where is the necklace I gave you last time, don't you like it?"

"No, I like it very much!" Li Xue immediately blushed and explained: "It's too expensive, I can't bear to wear it."

Chen Li'an waved his hand and said, "What's so valuable about a necklace? If you lose it, I'll buy it for you."

Li Xue blushed and nodded. She raised her head and glanced at Chen Li'an secretly. She mustered up the courage to whisper: "Actually, I'm not very good at wearing it. I can't wear it alone."

Chen Li'an: "."Sister-in-law, what are you doing!

"Then bring it over next time and I will help you put it on. The teller said it was difficult to put it on, hahahaha, what about that, you go ahead and do your work first."

Chen Li'an coughed awkwardly, lowered his head and continued working on the documents.

I've never done this kind of thing before, so I'm a little embarrassed. I'm still too thin-skinned.

Li Xue also blushed and ran out with her folder. She didn't know what Chen Li'an was embarrassed about, but she knew how embarrassed she was now.

How could you say those words just now!

After Li Xue left the office, she patted her chest lightly. She felt that she was too rash, but she didn't expect that Chen Li'an would actually say to put it on for her.

Li Xue thought about it for a while and felt that Chen Li'an might be afraid of being embarrassed. That must be the case!

It can't be that you are interested in yourself, right?
