Huayu: As a child star, I just want to be famous

Chapter 342 Director Chen never treats people unfairly

After the seminar, Chen Linfeng and Liu Qianqian, together with Huang Xiaoming, Shu Chang and others who also attended the seminar, went to a bar together.

This bar was opened by Shi Xiaolong. He has made a lot of money over the years, but he doesn't know how to invest it.

So Chen Linfeng suggested that he buy more houses.

In fact, this is basically what Chen Linfeng suggests to all his friends.

Shi Xiaolong had seen his younger brother's vision since he was a child, so he naturally trusted him and basically used all the money he earned to buy houses or shops.

And they specifically choose to buy houses in first-tier cities. After a few years, they always have ten or so houses.

Since I already have a shop, it would be a waste to just leave it there, so I just decided to do some small business in my own place.

This Arctic Ocean Bar is one of his businesses, and he often hangs out here with friends in the industry.

Shi Xiaolong has been silent in front of Chen Linfeng over the years.

But I do have a lot of friends in the circle, and everyone is very respectful to him, after all, he is Director Xiao Chen’s brother.

Didn’t you see that Wang Baoqiang was chosen by director Xiao Chen to play an important villain just because he had a good relationship with Shi Xiaolong when they were children?

The people in the crew, including Shi Xiaolong, knew that Chen Linfeng was impressed by Wang Baoqiang's acting skills, but outsiders did not know that.

Some stars or actors in the bar would go on stage and sing a few songs when they were in a good mood.

It’s true that the decoration here is nice, the environment is good, and most importantly, there are many celebrities coming here, and they pay attention to privacy protection. Now it has even become a bit famous.

Chen Linfeng has been here twice, and this time he also booked this place as the venue for the party.

Shi Xiaolong arranged for someone to vacate a large private room in advance.

"Xiao Feng, go to the private room with them first. I'll ask someone to bring some drinks over."

When Chen Linfeng gets together with others, he never drinks. Others accommodate him and basically just drink beverages when they play together.

It has almost become a routine now.

"Okay, come quickly then."

Of course, several main actors from the "Reply" crew were indispensable to this gathering.

We are all young people. We had a great time on the crew and we still keep in touch now.

However, only the three main characters, Chen Linfeng, Liu Qianqian, and other directors and producers attended the seminar.

Lei Jiayin, Qin Hao and others were not eligible to participate, so they just came to the bar and waited.

In addition, "Chinese Paladin 3" was about to be broadcast, and Hu Ge was in Yanjing to promote it. He happened to be free, so he attended the party with Yang Mi.

Nie Yuan, Zhang Junning, Wang Baoqiang, Wang Qianyuan and others who had worked together before also arrived at the private room early.

Even Chen Kun, Zhou Xun, Zhou Jielun and others were there, they just came here to have fun.

In fact, Huang Xiaoming also wanted to ask Zhao Yanzi to come and play, but Chen Linfeng found an excuse to refuse.

As soon as he entered the room, Zhou Jielun teased, "Xiao Chen, you are late. You will be fined three drinks first."

He is in the music industry and has almost no conflicts of interest with Chen Linfeng, so he is the most relaxed.

"Okay, you serve the wine and I'll serve the drink, and then we'll drink from each other." Chen Linfeng said this "harshly".

Everyone found a place to sit.

Liu Qianqian approached Shu Chang and Yang Mi to chat, and Zhou Xun also joined in, and the four of them soon started chatting.

Chen Linfeng was chatting with a group of men.

The topic naturally cannot escape from the entertainment industry. In fact, quite a number of people in the industry rely on gatherings to get news.

"Have you heard about the movie 'Nanjing' which is going to be released soon?" Chen Kun asked curiously, "I seem to have heard that there is something wrong with this movie."

Huang Xiaoming said with a difficult expression, "I heard about it. I still don't understand why Director Lu wants to hold a preview screening."

Hu Ge also looked annoyed, "Maybe he thought Director Chen's preview was good, so he wanted to learn from him."

"No, wait a minute."

Chen Linfeng asked doubtfully, "You are talking about Lu Chuan, right? What happened to him?"

Nie Yuan explained, "Director Chen, you probably haven't heard of it abroad before. I heard that Director Lu's new film Nanjing, which is about to be released, adopted a preview mode and was criticized badly."

He added, "Not only did the audience scold him, many people also said he was whitewashing Japan. If the "Helping People" incident hadn't attracted a lot of attention, it would probably have been a bigger fuss."

Chen Linfeng touched his chin. He didn't expect Lu Chuan to be so confident.

It would be fine if your movie did well in the preview, but with the performance of "Nanjing", can you really feel good about yourself?
Chen Linfeng asked with interest, "The preview was criticized, so what's the situation now?"

"They were having a verbal fight. Director Lu was giving all kinds of explanations to the media, saying that others didn't understand his difficulties. It was just a back-and-forth argument."

Chen Linfeng really couldn't understand this guy's train of thought. He was eager to let people know that the movie was not good, and he was still helping to hype it up.

He said happily, "It looks like this movie is going to be a box office flop."

Who said it wasn't? Everyone nodded.

Speaking of movies, "Founding of a Republic", which has been making a lot of noise since the Chinese New Year, has attracted more discussion in the industry.

Among all the people present, there are really not many who can appear in this film.

Hu Ge said with a bitter face, "My disadvantage is that I have not acted in many movies. In this respect, I am not as good as Bao Qiang."

Nie Yuan nodded sympathetically, "Yeah, no matter how famous you are in TV dramas, it's useless now." Wang Qianyuan scratched his head, "Brother, becoming famous is the most important thing. Even if I act in a movie, it's still not enough."

Chen Kun said, "If you play the leading role again, it will definitely be fine. Look at Jiang Wu, he got promoted after playing the leading role once, and he is also playing the leading role in "Founding of a Republic" this time."

Chen Linfeng raised his eyebrows. How did this sound like the Conferred God Platform? Just by appearing in "Founding of a Republic", it meant that he would be deified instantly?

But you know what, to outsiders, it does seem like that.

But speaking of it, Jiang Wu actually went to "Founding of a Republic", which never happened in his previous life.

Chen Linfeng lowered his head and thought about his own things. Nie Yuan, who was chatting with him, suddenly said to him, "Director Chen, I wonder if there are any suitable small roles in the next film you are responsible for? You can ask me, I am very cheap."

Fuck, this guy ran away.

Hu Ge thought to himself that he came to this party with this in mind.

After hearing this, the others immediately stopped talking about their own topics. Even the girls' table were looking over here with sharp eyes.

Chen Linfeng was about to speak.

"Comrades, drinks are coming."

At this time, Shi Xiaolong pushed the door open and came in, followed by several staff members.

He directed people to put the drinks on the table.

The girls' side mostly had drinks, and Chen Linfeng also put a few bottles, and some wine on the table. Whoever liked to drink could take it themselves.

The atmosphere was temporarily interrupted, and Chen Linfeng simply did not mention the previous matters. Instead, he poured the drinks and clinked glasses with everyone and drank a few glasses.

Shi Xiaolong turned on the machine in the private room and started a song. Soon the music started and there was a playful atmosphere.

But no one ordered any songs, they just sat in their seats.

Shi Xiaolong was dumbfounded. Why didn’t anyone cooperate with him when he came out to play?
It was Liu Xixi who dragged Shu Chang to order songs. Anyway, they had no worries because Xiaofeng would recommend roles suitable for them.

Chen Linfeng understood everyone's thoughts and knew that without an explanation, they would not be able to play with peace of mind.

It just so happened that he had this idea in mind when he called people to the party this time.

"Speaking of roles, I don't shy away from saying that for any drama or movie, I usually choose the right person from those I've worked with before. I think after so many years, everyone should know this."

Everyone nodded, it was indeed true.

It was precisely because of this discovery that Nie Yuan wanted to fight for a small role first.

We all know that Director Chen never treats people unfairly, and he really wants to let people like them play small roles.

Then either the role itself is good, or there will be compensation later.

There is no fool here, everyone understands this principle.

That's why some people secretly cursed Nie Yuan for running away.

Chen Linfeng continued, "It's just that there are some things to consider when choosing a role. Generally speaking, suitability is the most important thing, and this applies to Xiaolong and me."

Everyone nodded again. Long Lin’s actions over the years were obvious to all.

It is certainly not that easy to keep producing good dramas, and not touching the actor agency business is one of its key measures.

However, this move has now been broken to some extent - Zhang Junning has established his own studio and affiliated it with Longlin.

Outsiders, including those in the industry, have no idea whether there is any exchange of interests between this studio and Long Lin.

For example, the usual way of giving shares, or taking a percentage commission.

Most studios will adopt these practices when they are affiliated.

This is the key.

If I could receive some care because of the studio's affiliation...

This is actually human nature, it is inevitable, and everyone can understand it.

In this case, many people here will have to consider whether they should follow suit.

You know, Hu Ge and Yang Mi, their contracts are about to end.

Others also have little time left on their contracts.

"As long as the image and temperament are suitable, the rest depends on the acting skills. Whether it is Longlin or Qilin, if we want to continue to develop well, we will always adhere to this principle in casting, so everyone does not need to think too much, just do it the same as before."

At this point, Chen Linfeng smiled and said, "The Junning studio is affiliated with us purely as a name. We just have some connections. If you want to get a role, you still have to follow the two rules I mentioned before. If you don't believe me, you can ask him."

Everyone looked at Zhang Junning, wanting him to say something.

Zhang Junning took a sip of wine in a depressed mood, "Director Chen, you don't have to say it so bluntly."

Oh ~
It's true.

Everyone present understood instantly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and decided that everything would be fine as before and everyone would compete fairly.

After this topic was brought up, the atmosphere in the private room became relaxed.

Liu Qianqian has already organized everyone, and they started taking turns singing. The seats are not so crowded, and it finally feels like they are just hanging out for fun.
