Perfect Superstar

Exhausting all his strength, Ma Rongzhen didn't let himself lose his composure on the spot. He swallowed dryly, and said in a deep voice: "If Young Master Lu can give me this chance, I will definitely play Yan Chixia well!"

Ma Rongzhen didn't pat his chest and swear or swear, nor did he look happy and triumphant. The simple two sentences showed his confidence and determination to win, and they were more sincere than any rhetoric.

Lu Chen felt his self-confidence, which is the pride of an old actor. At this moment, this old actor who had been down for a long time in Xiangjiang finally showed his edge.

The edge that has not been wiped clean by hardships and hardships!

This is Yan Chixia that Lu Chen wanted.

Lu Chen nodded, smiled slightly and said, "Let's eat first, the food is getting cold."

This was beyond Ma Rongzhen's expectations. He seemed like a defendant waiting for a verdict, waiting for the judge's final decision, but the latter announced a temporary adjournment.

It's simply tantalizing!

To be honest, Ma Rongzhen had shown all his courage and confidence just now, if he did it all over again, he might not be able to perform better.

However, the delicious food at Shun Kee Restaurant soothed the depression in Ma Rongzhen's heart. This time-honored restaurant cooks fresh seafood with a superb level, and it is a favorite place for all Hong Kong gourmets.

In the good old days, Ma Rongzhen often came to Shun Kee Restaurant, but that time was at least ten years ago.

Ten years!

Tasting the familiar taste again, the old actor has the urge to burst into tears.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone was full, and the waiter asked the waiter to remove the leftovers and replace them with tea.

It's time to talk about the substance.

Chen Wenqiang asked straight to the point: "Brother Ma, what conditions do you have in terms of remuneration? Now that Young Master Lu is here, let's talk face to face. If there is no disagreement, the role will be yours."

Now Chen Wenqiang's role is equivalent to Lu Chen's spokesperson. As the boss, Lu Chen can't directly bargain with Ma Rongzhen about the salary, so naturally he will come forward.

Lu Chen is really satisfied with Ma Rong, and Chen Wenqiang is easy to say.

Ma Rong really hesitated.

He had considered this question when he came to Shunji Restaurant, and it was also the question that made him scratch his head the most.

When Ma Rongzhen was at the peak of his career, the highest salary for a film was as high as two to three million yuan. If you compare the housing prices in Xiangjiang at that time, it is equivalent to ten to twenty million now.

But the past is the past, and the present is the present. The hero does not mention the bravery of the past. Now he has been reduced to the stage of acting in the crowd and supporting roles, and the little money he earns is barely enough to support his family.

Although Ma Rongzhen has long been divorced, there is still a frail and sick old lady at home. He is a filial son, and most of the money he earns through hard work is used to take care of his old lady.

For him, the role of Yan Chixia is an opportunity to change his destiny, so when it comes to the issue of remuneration, he is very entangled, not knowing how to ask for a price.

If it was back then, he could have asked his agent to talk to Chen Wenqiang about how much he should...

Well, let's not mention the agent who has been crushed into a scumbag.

Chen Wenqiang is an old Jianghu, of course he understands Ma Rong's entanglement in his heart, he smiled and said: "Brother Ma, you can just tell the number directly, of course we can wait for you to hire an agent first and then talk."

"No, no need!"

Ma Rongzhen jumped up instinctively, not to mention whether he can afford a manager now, isn't it bad enough that he was cheated by the manager before?

Gritting his teeth, Ma Rongzhen stretched out his palm and said, "Fifty thousand."

When he set the price, he was very nervous, he was afraid that if he set the price too high, he would miss the opportunity, but if he set the price too low, he would be looked down upon.

In fact, compared to a very important role, the salary of 50,000 yuan is already very low, but Xiangjiang has many small-cost productions, and it is normal for the main actor to get a salary of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.

Ma Rong really referred to this standard.

He is now working in Lion Mountain Film and Television City, and his salary for group performances is about two or three hundred a day.

But it's not like there are dramas every day, and the income is only 50,000 to 60,000 a year.

Ma Rongzhen didn't know that the investment budget of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was 30 million.

fifty thousand!

Lu Chen and Chen Wenqiang looked at each other, and Wan Xiaoquan, who was sitting by the side, felt pity-it's only 50,000 yuan!

Lu Chen thought for a while, and said, "Yes, if the movie makes money in the future, I will give Uncle Ma another big red envelope."

Since Ma Rongzhen offered a price of 50,000 yuan, even though the remuneration requirement was a bit ridiculously low, it was impossible for him to take the initiative to increase the price. As long as he made up for it with red envelopes in the future, it would be fine if he complied with the rules in the circle and would not be a problem.

"Thank you, thank you, Young Master Lu!"

A big stone in Ma Rongzhen's heart fell to the ground, and his old face turned into a flower with a smile.

Lu Chen said again: "Uncle Ma, for the 50,000 film remuneration, I will ask Uncle Qiang to pay you 20,000 in advance, and then pay 30,000 after the filming, what do you think?"

This is Lu Chen's empathy. Ma Rong is really in such a bad situation, and filming is not a one-day job. He can't be allowed to drink the northwest wind during this time, right?

Instead of letting Ma Rongzhen take the initiative, it is better to give charcoal in a timely manner.

Ma Rongzhen had nothing to say: "Thank you, Young Master Lu..."

Chen Wenqiang watched from the side, admiring him very much in his heart, Lu Chen's behavior in dealing with people was not like a fledgling rookie at all, he was very sophisticated and thoughtful.

If you follow him, you will definitely have a bright future!

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Then let's replace wine with tea, let's wish the cooperation a success!"

"cheers!"

...

And when Lu Chen was chatting and laughing happily at the Shun Kee Restaurant in Kowloon Tong, the news about him in the forums on Hong Kong Island was spreading, and it became the focus of countless Xiangjiang netizens.

"Has anyone heard this song?" "This post was uploaded to the [Popular Music] section last night. In less than 24 hours, the number of hits has exceeded 500,000+, and the number of replies and comments has reached 70,000+.

In the afternoon, someone uploaded a scanned picture in the [Popular Music] section, and the content of the picture was the report on the second page of the "Polo Daily".

The post owner compared this photo with "Has anyone heard this song?" "The video in this hot post immediately attracted a lot of clicks and comments.

"The appearance and dress are exactly the same, it must be the same person!"

"Huh? Didn't you say that Lu Chen is Chen Fei'er's boyfriend? Why are you getting together with Shu Jing?"

"Can anyone tell me what happened?"

"Onlookers..."

However, soon, someone posted Shu Jing's blog statement, which sort of dispelled the scandal.

However, the extremely popular post was originally only in the [Popular Music] section, so it was forwarded to the Hong Kong Island blog, and @朱静 was added, resulting in continuous expansion of influence.

Even Lu Chen himself didn't expect that he became popular on Hong Kong Island's Internet inadvertently, and more and more Hong Kong netizens knew his name and his deeds and achievements.

But what really detonated the Hong Kong Island blog was a blog post that appeared at 9 pm!
