Fringe artists in the entertainment industry

Chapter 123 121. Am I that casual?

It is absolutely impossible to eat soft rice!

No matter how depressed Chen Li'an is, he will not spend a woman's money. How can a man eat soft food, no matter how fragrant it is?

However, Zhang Guorong really hopes that Chen Li'an can eat soft rice, and only eat soft rice from Wang Zuxian. It seems that he is embarrassed to go out!

Chen Li'an has a lot of money. It's only 1995 and he has a bank balance of several million, so he won't be in a state of poverty.

However, after making so much money, it is indeed inconvenient to still live in a large courtyard. It is really inconvenient to have no darkroom or studio.

And you also need to buy a mobility scooter. Taking a taxi is very inconvenient. Sometimes you may not be able to get a taxi in half an hour. There are relatively few taxis in Beijing.

"When will you go to Beijing Film Studio tomorrow?" Chen Li'an asked as he drank all the wine in his glass.

Zhang Guorong took off the mask on his face and said: "Just be there at nine o'clock. I will try on makeup tomorrow."

Speaking of this, Chen Li'an was a little confused. He looked at Leslie Cheung and asked, "The director has never met me. You just said one word and gave me this role?"

"Otherwise." Zhang Guorong patted his face and said arrogantly: "I am Zhang Guorong, just a small character."

Chen Li'an: "."You are awesome!

Zhang Guorong hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Actually, Director Cheng also helped. He put in a good word for you at the Beijing Film Studio."

"Director Cheng?" Chen Li'an frowned, wondering why Director Cheng wanted to help him suddenly.

Zhang Guorong actually doesn't quite understand. Director Cheng is not such a warm-hearted person. There must be a purpose for doing this. As for the purpose, it's hard to say. Maybe he is attracted to Chen Li'an.

However, it is not as simple as Leslie Cheung said for this role to fall on Chen Li'an. The producers will naturally take all aspects into consideration.

The movie itself is a co-production, so it is inevitable to use mainland actors. As for who to use, it is naturally very important.

Good looks and decent acting skills are the most basic. Of course, the premise is that the actor is talented from Beijing Film Studio.

After all, this movie was shot together with Beijing Film Studio, and it also used the largest studio of Beijing Film Studio. Naturally, there must be resource exchange.

The Beijing Film Studio itself did not recommend many actors, and Mr. Huang was the first choice. However, Leslie Cheung intervened and suggested Chen Li'an. The Beijing Film Studio was surprised for a while.

Chen Li'an's reputation has been heard by many people at Beijing Film Studio.

Nortel's most mysterious student. A cutting-edge artist. The second male lead in director Cheng's new movie. The rumored partner of Gong Li and Cheng Meiren.

With so many strange and unattainable names put together, there are a few people in the industry who have never heard of Chen Li'an's name.

Of course, most people know Chen Li'an because of the gossip about him, Gong Li and Cheng Meiren.

Beijing Film Studio originally wanted to promote Teacher Huang, but they hesitated after facing such a great figure as Chen Li'an.

This is considered a member of the family. Students from Nortel can be directly assigned to the Beijing Film Studio after graduation.

Moreover, both Zhang Guorong and Director Cheng recommended him, so it was hard not to take his face into consideration.

One is a producer representing Hong Kong, and the other is a top director with a strong domestic reputation. Beijing Film Studio also has to give them face.

Speaking of which, Chen Li'an was quite lucky to get this role.

Zhang Guorong, who was doing skin care in the living room, watched Chen Li'an pour himself another glass of red wine, and couldn't help but urge: "I'm going to bed, why don't you leave? Don't forget it at nine o'clock tomorrow."

Chen Li'an looked at Zhang Guorong who was yawning, so he had to drink the red wine in the glass and get up and leave.

Early the next morning, while Chen Li'an was still sleeping, Qiao Linmu got up early. Time waited for no one. Now he quickly returned to Yangcheng to start up the factory. Guang Province had already heard a lot of news that someone was planning to make VCD.

When Chen Li'an heard the noise, he got up from the bed. When he came out and saw Qiao Linmu packing his luggage, he asked, "Second uncle, are you leaving today?"

"Why don't you leave?" Qiao Linmu said as he packed up: "Everything has been agreed upon. Just go back and remit the money. Time waits for no one."

Chen Li'an looked at Qiao Linmu's fat body and felt that such mobility should not appear on him, but he still said: "Let's play for a few more days. I also plan to buy some gifts for my sister and aunt today for you to take back. Woolen cloth."

Qiao Linmu zipped up his bag, raised his head and said, "Yangcheng has everything, so there's no need for it. Just go about your own business."

Seeing that his second uncle was so anxious to go back, Chen Li'an didn't say anything. He held his wallet and said, "Then I'll buy some breakfast later."

"Okay, hurry up, I have to go to the airport at half past nine." Qiao Linmu urged, his whole body was full of energy, as if he had a second spring.

Chen Li'an smiled, and then ran out to buy breakfast. Old BJ's had many kinds of breakfast. Chen Li'an bought several items, such as coke rings, fried dough sticks, fried liver, steamed buns, and tofu puffs.

No matter what, we can't let my second uncle fly hungry.

While eating breakfast, Qiao Linmu looked around Chen Li'an's small room and said, "If you have time these days, go out and look at the house. It's not easy to find a wife if you live here."

"Yeah, I understand." Chen Li'an responded while sucking on the fried liver. He must buy a house, but he just doesn't have time to look at it now.

Buying a house these days is not an easy task. Apartments are fine, but courtyard houses are troublesome.

Chen Li'an plans to buy two apartments and a courtyard house. If a good friend has no place to live in the future, it can also save him.

Qiao Linmu took a bite of the bun and said, "You just need to know what's going on. You're already twenty-two this year, so you should find a girlfriend as soon as possible."

After nagging, Qiao Linmu asked again: "You asked Leslie Cheung yesterday but he didn't agree. Who are you going to find to shoot the commercial?"

Chen Li'an wiped the liver-fried soup from his mouth and said, "Don't worry, I'll call back and ask. I'll definitely find it. You go back and make a finished product first, otherwise there won't be any product for the commercial."

"Okay, I'll try my best to help you with this matter. If a new brand wants to become famous, it needs to be well publicized." Qiao Linmu responded.

After Qiao Linmu and Cheng Liang finished their breakfast, they took a taxi to the airport. Chen Li'an also packed up and headed to Beijing Film Studio.

It has been 20 years since the Beijing Film Studio moved to the Third Ring Road. In the first 20 years, the Beijing Film Studio could be considered a suburb, surrounded by farmland and pig pens, but now it is considered a lively place on the Third Ring Road.

The entire Third Ring Road was opened to traffic last year. This year's Third Ring Road was really lively. Chen Li'an remembered that there were still a lot of wastelands here in the first two years.

At the entrance of Beijing Film Studio, Chen Li'an was stopped by the security guard just as he was about to enter.

"Hey! What are you doing here, kid?" The man wearing a hat in the security room leaned half of his body out of the window and called Chen Li'an.

Chen Li'an turned his head and glanced, walked over and said politely: "Uncle, I am a student from Nortel. I have accepted a film and I will come over today to start work."

"Do you have any proof? Letters of recommendation, letters of introduction, etc." The uncle looked at Chen Li'an's handsome face and asked without doubting that he was there.

Chen Li'an was stunned for a moment, then took out the phone from his pants pocket and said, "I really didn't bring it with me. Please wait for me to make a call."

After the old man in the security room took a look at the phone in Chen Li'an's hand and his clothes, his eyes flashed behind his reading glasses and he said: "Don't bother me, can you tell me which movie it is?"

"Singing in the middle of the night, the crew from Xiangjiang." Chen Li'an put down the phone and said.

The uncle said oh, hesitated a little and said, "Okay, then come over and sign and go in."

This saves trouble. Chen Lian leaned by the window and took the pen handed over by the uncle, signed the registration book and went in.

The old man in the security room looked at Chen Li'an's leaving figure and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know which compound he came from."

"But he's really handsome. I'm sure he'll become a big star." The uncle smiled happily, sat back in his chair, took out the newspaper and continued reading.

Chen Li'an didn't expect that one day he would be regarded as a compound, but he was right, a compound was also a compound, and the people who came out of the courtyard where the workers and peasants brothers lived were no worse than those who came out of the compound where cadres lived! That's it!

If you say this, you will probably laugh to death, but who knows about this little episode.

After asking a few people at Beijing Film Studio, Chen Li'an successfully found the floor where the Midnight Singing crew was located.

I knocked on the door and went in. It was quite lively inside. There were several people sitting in the conference room in twos and threes.

But Chen Li'an only knew one, no, two, Leslie Cheung and Wu Qian Lian.

When Zhang Guorong saw Chen Li'an coming in, he immediately put down his crossed legs and stood up and shouted: "Li'an, come here."

Everyone in the room focused their attention on Chen Li'an. Director Yu Rentai also looked at him a few times, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

Chen Li'an walked to Zhang Guorong and nodded, then turned his eyes to Yu Rentai, who was sitting on the chair without standing up, and his pupils shrank slightly.

The director seems to have some physical problems and is not very mobile.

Zhang Guorong smiled and pulled Chen Li'an and introduced him: "This is Chen Li'an. Isn't he very handsome?"

Yu Rentai sat on the chair and nodded to Chen Li'an and said, "I am Yu Rentai, the director of this movie."

Chen Li'an watched Yu Rentai stand up with his hands, stretched out his hand and said: "Chen Li'an, I am very happy to cooperate with Director Yu. I have watched Director Yu's The White-Haired Witch the year before last year."

Yu Rentai shook hands with Chen Li'an, and then said with a smile: "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Zhang Guorong interrupted at this time: "Wow, no, have you seen the White-haired Witch? Why haven't I heard you say that?"

"Why do I tell you after I've seen it and let you show off?" Chen Li'an retorted.

The White-Haired Witch is played by Leslie Cheung and Lin Qingxia. Chen Li'an has indeed seen it a few times, but he has never told Leslie Cheung to prevent him from thinking that he is a fan of his movie.

Wu Qianlian next to her looked at Chen Li'an who was joking with Leslie Cheung and stretched out his hand and said: "Hello, I am Wu Qianlian."

"Chen Li'an, it's nice to meet you." Chen Li'an and Wu Qianlian also shook hands, and then said with a smile: "I really liked the man and woman you played last year, and I never thought I would have the opportunity to work with you."

"Thank you for your like. Director Li did a good job." Wu Qianlian said modestly, but the corners of her mouth were still slightly raised.

The other people in the room looked at Chen Li'an who was so good at talking, and their thoughts changed slightly. They just wanted to be easy to get along with, but they were afraid that this second male lead who suddenly appeared would be difficult to deal with.

Han Shanping, the director of Beijing Film Studio who had just been in office for a year, looked at Chen Li'an and was quite curious about this rising star in the capital's film industry. Is he an actor who pursues art, or an artist who pursues career as an actor?

Han Shanping nodded at Chen Li'an and said, "Chen Li'an, I have heard your name many times recently. Have you ever thought about coming to Beijing Film Studio?"

Chen Li'an was very familiar with Han Shanping's face. He could recognize it without being introduced. He smiled and said, "Hello, Director Han. I'm only a freshman now. I'll wait until I graduate. But I still yearn for Beijing Film Studio." "

"Do you recognize me?" Han Shanping was a little surprised and looked at Chen Li'an strangely.

Chen Li'an smiled and said, "I am a student from Nortel, so it's not surprising that I know the director of Beifang Film Studio."

Hearing Chen Li'an's answer, Han Shanping smiled and said, "Haha, it's not surprising to say that."

A few people laughed, and after a while of greetings, they officially started working.

Today's task was mainly to try on makeup. It was very simple. Compared with the efficiency of the crew from Xiangjiang, it was not very efficient.

In less than two hours, all the makeup trials were completed. Chen Li'an looked down at the gown on his body and felt a little pain in his head. Why was it a gown again?

I'm not Kong Yiji, so why can't I take off my long gown?

Chen Li'an, who couldn't take off his gown, looked at Leslie Cheung who was handsome in a suit and windbreaker and sighed, why is it always like this every time he plays the second male lead for Leslie Cheung?

In the last movie, I wore a long gown and played a servant, and Leslie Cheung played a playboy brother. In this movie, I wore a long gown and played a street actor, and Leslie Cheung played an opera star.

No matter in terms of character appearance or identity, the gap is so huge that it is simply unreasonable.

Chen Li'an said somewhat depressedly: "I won't be the second male lead for you next time."

Zhang Guorong, who was looking at the stinky beauty in the mirror, turned around and looked at Chen Li'an's gown. He immediately understood and couldn't help laughing and said: "Who makes you not as handsome as me!"

Chen Li'an: "Don't your conscience hurt?" You are telling lies with your eyes open! dishonest!

Wu Qianlian was a little confused when she heard the inexplicable conversation between the two, but she was not familiar with Leslie Cheung and Chen Li'an, so it was difficult for her to interject and ask.

Leslie Cheung glanced at Wu Qianlian and took the initiative to explain: "In the last movie, he wore a gown and I wore a suit. This time, he was jealous, haha."

Hearing Zhang Guorong's explanation, Wu Qianlian smiled, looked at Chen Li'an, who was wearing a long gown, and said, "You look good in a long gown."

"Thank you." Chen Li'an showed a smile and said, "You still have vision, unlike some people who are very narcissistic."

Zhang Guorong looked at Chen Li'an, who was exuding charm again, and quickly stood between the two of them. He deliberately pulled Chen Li'an to the side and said, "Don't mess around! I promised Zu Xian to watch you!"

Chen Li'an looked at Leslie Cheung with a question mark on his face and said, "What did I do?"

"Put away that smile of yours! Don't try to seduce Wu Qianlian!" Zhang Guorong warned.

Chen Li'an said depressedly: "Am I that casual?" Am I that kind of person? Am I a man who can seduce others casually?

"have!"
