Chapter 162 Chen Hong: I'm divorced, do you still want me? (Please subscribe!)
The place to eat is a business club where Lin Xuan just cut grass.

Wang Zhongjun brought him here, focusing on high-end catering, business and leisure, accommodation and physical therapy...

The chefs in the club are all recruited from star hotels.

The team of more than a dozen people is proficient in eight major cuisines, as well as foreign cuisine.

There is no lobby in the club, all are open private rooms.

It is very suitable for celebrities and entertainers to gather, or for business leaders to come over to have dinner and talk things over.

The two of them went to the private room under the guidance of the front desk clerk.

Wu Jing looked around along the way: "This place is nice. You can invite friends to play in the future."

Lin Xuan was quite picky. After the waiter left, he commented:

“The food tastes pretty good, and there are accommodation and spa services upstairs, but I don’t like the decoration style.”

"It's really elegant, I think it's pretty good." Wu Jing likes this resplendent style.

"When I have more money in the future, I will also build a business club. Then it will be much more convenient to gather with friends."

"You have made so much money in the past two years, wouldn't it be easy to open a club?"

Lin Xuan shook his head and settled the accounts for him with his fingers:
"I invested 1000 million in this TV series, and I plan to buy a house for 1000 million. I left some funds as a backup, and I really don't have much money left."

"Damn, you are so rich and you still pretend to be poor with me."

Wu Jing debuted much earlier than him. After struggling in the industry for so many years, she still hasn't saved 3000 million.

When he first fell in love with a Hong Kong girl, she asked him to earn 500 million in three years.

Of course Wu Jing couldn't make so much money, so the Hong Kong sister ran away with the big man.

Lin Xuan ordered a table of dishes and a box of Maotai.

Wu Jing must have failed in today's audition, so let's have a few drinks with him.

After ordering the food, Wu Jing took out a cigarette and said, "Want one?"

Lin Xuan took out a long and thick Cohiba cigar from his bag:
"Brother smokes, it's very strong."

Wu Jing smiled and took the cigar, and the two began to smoke in the room.

When the food and wine were served, they ate, drank and chatted.

Wu Jing is still in a tepid state.

Recently, I have taken on a few dramas with male protagonists, but unfortunately they are all low-budget dramas, and I don’t see the potential to become a hit.

As the bitter wine entered his intestines, Wu Jing complained:

"The film and television industry has completely changed. It is becoming more and more difficult for martial arts actors to work. I really don't know when I will be able to get ahead."

Lin Xuan smiled and said: "How has the industry changed? It has been like this for so many years, okay, don't talk nonsense with your eyes open.

The mainland film and television industry is very difficult, and sometimes you have to look for your own reasons.

Have you improved your acting skills over the years and are you working seriously? "

Hearing this, Wu Jing seemed to be contaminated, and said in a loud voice:
"Which movie did I not take seriously? I spent half my life in it, what else do you want from me?"

"Calm down, I'm just kidding." Lin Xuan patted his back.

"What am I..."

Seeing his playful smile, Wu Jing's fists hardened.

I really want to beat you up.

"By the way, come and give me a guest role."

Although the two are friends, Wu Jing also has self-esteem.

Unless Lin Xuan invites him, he will not take the initiative to ask for a role.

No matter how good friends are, once resource interests are involved, conflicts will definitely arise.

The friendship between gentlemen is as light as water. Only by keeping a certain distance can the friendship between two people last longer.

Lin Xuan chooses actors based on appearance first and acting skills second.

Wu Jing's face can't stand up to the leading male role in a costume drama, and her acting skills are a bit eye-catching.

Every performance feels like overexertion, so there is very little cooperation between the two.

Wu Jing also knew the reason in his heart, so he usually drank and played, but he never asked him for a role.

But seeing how difficult it was for him to develop, Lin Xuan still wanted to help him.

"What role?"

"Once the best player in the world, the most awesome one."

Gu Santong has very few scenes, and as a guest role, the acting requirements are not that high, so it's no problem for Lin Xuan to take care of him.

"Okay, let me know when you're joining the team, and I'll free up your schedule in advance."

Wu Jing agreed readily.

"One more thing, I would like to ask Ba Ye to be the martial arts director of this drama.

Please help me ask if he has time recently. "

Coincidentally, the martial arts director of the original version of "The Best in the World" was Chen Xiaodong.

But he is currently busy with the "Hero" crew, so he definitely doesn't have time to come to his place.

"Master Ba should be free..."

Wu Jing thought for a moment and said, "Wouldn't it be more sincere if you called me personally to invite me?"

Lin Xuan explained: "Eighth Master and I have only worked together in one film, and we haven't seen each other for such a long time. We must not be as close as you."

Many things need to be negotiated with a middleman, and Wu Jing also understands this.

"Okay then, I'll call and ask tomorrow."

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, both of them were a little tipsy.

At this time, Lin Xuan's phone rang, and the caller ID turned out to be Chen Hong.

"Hey, Sister Hong."

"Lin Xuan, I just came back from abroad. I heard that you are going to make a TV series?"

"That's right. Sister Hong, do you want to come over and play a role?"

"Forget it, I have no interest in filming right now."

“There’s no actor who doesn’t like acting, and there happened to be a beautiful character in the play.

Two peerless masters fight to the death for her. Only Sister Hong can be convincing when playing such a role. "

"Hahaha..." Chen Hong's laughter came from the phone.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan continued to add more emphasis: "This character also has a son. If Sister Hong likes anyone, tell me directly.

The major male stars in the industry can be chosen at will and take advantage of them openly.How about Wu Jing?I asked him to be your son. "

Wu Jing:? ? ?
He was eating vegetables with his head down, and when he heard these words, he raised his head blankly.

Aren't you talking about martial arts masters? Why did you suddenly become someone's son?

"Hahahaha, I don't have such an old son."

"It turns out you are too old, so I can be your son."

"roll!"

Chen Hong suddenly thought of something and cursed in shame and anger.

This little bastard is talking more and more nonsense.

"Okay, stop joking. I have something to ask you." "Sister Hong, tell me."

"I told you before that I want to move behind the scenes, and I just want to ask if the producer of your crew is confirmed?"

"No, the crew hasn't been set up yet. There are a lot of producers in name, but none of them are actually doing anything."

Hearing this, Chen Hong said in surprise: "Then if you can trust me..."

"Sister Hong, don't say such things. I don't believe you. Who do you believe? I agree with the producer.

Although I feel it is a pity that you are not acting, it is also a good idea to go behind the scenes. "

"Okay, then it's settled. I can start working tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Thank you, Lin Xuan."

"You're welcome, see you in a few days."

After the phone call, Lin Xuan stuffed his phone into his pocket.

Wu Jing asked with confusion on her face: "Has my role changed?"

"No, I was joking with her, I can't even hear it."

In other words, the two of them have a good relationship and are used to hurting each other.

If it were an outsider, I would probably fall out.

"The voice sounds like a woman, who is she?"

Wu Jing showed a subtle smile:
"I can give you such an important position as a producer at your request. Your relationship is unusual."

"Of course it's extraordinary, my god sister Chen Hong."

"It turned out to be her."

When Wu Jing heard Chen Hong's name, she immediately lost interest.

The story of Lin Xuan and Chen Hong has long been known to everyone.

Chen Hong wanted to go behind the scenes, so Lin Xuan should help.

Wu Jing heard two gossips in one day, both of which were false.

I thought this guy was hiding quite well.

…………

Three days later, Lin Xuan was sleeping when he was suddenly awakened by the sound of a phone call.

"Sister Hua, it's just before six o'clock. Why are you so anxious?"

"Congratulations, the audition for the "Hero" crew was successful."

"Okay, I get it now."

Lin Xuan didn't have any big mood swings after hearing this.

His conditions were almost perfect, and his success in the audition was expected.

Unless Zhang Yimou and the others are out of their minds.

"What kind of tone are you talking about? This is "Hero", a work by Zhang Yimou, a big production worth 3000 million US dollars."

"Of course I know, it's just this little thing that disturbs my dreams."

He didn't care, the main thing was that it disturbed the person next to him in his dream.

Lin Xuan reached out his hand and helped smooth his messy hair.

"You are really..." Wang Jinhua was speechless.

"How much is the salary? The crew is so rich, so they can't be too stingy with their money."

"500 million! The schedule is one month."

"Haha, you are indeed Director Zhang. He is generous when he takes action."

500 million for a movie is enough for him to make a TV series for a year.

"Don't be proud. Li Lianjie has lowered his net worth and still has a salary of more than 2000 million yuan."

"He is an international superstar and it will be a few years before I catch up."

"Okay, I won't disturb your dream anymore. Go to New Screen to sign the contract at ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't be late."

"Well, I understand, Sister Hua."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xuan looked at Chen Hong who woke up and explained:

"I'm sorry, Sister Hong, for waking you up."

Chen Hong leaned close to his ear and shook his head slightly: "Zhang Yimou's movie, "Hero"?"

"Yes, it's a small role. He is considered the fourth male lead. There are only two scenes, but he signed a one-month schedule."

"Zhang Yimou's movies must strive for excellence. It is normal to shoot a scene for several days."

"By the way, I heard that Director Chen is also going to make a new movie. He is going to compete with Zhang Yimou."

"Well, it's a musical movie, "With You."

"You stay with me now."

"Hehehehe..."

Chen Hong hugged him and laughed softly.

Lin Xuan has heard of this movie. The total box office performance was not bad and it won many awards at home and abroad.

"Then why didn't you become a producer for him and instead came to my small crew?"

Chen Hong sighed: "He mentioned it to me, but it was just casually, he didn't really want to invite me.

And I haven't talked to him for a long time. I'm annoyed by his appearance, so I might as well come to your set. "

"It's been so long, and your relationship with Director Chen hasn't recovered yet?"

"I am raising my child abroad, and he is free and unrestrained in China. How can I recover?"

"Tell me more about the coolness." Lin Xuan was quite interested.

Chen Hong rolled her eyes at him: "How can I be so cool? I just spend the whole day drinking and drinking like you."

"Sister Hong, you are slandering me. I'm as busy as a dog every day, so I don't have time to drink and drink."

Chen Hong snorted coldly, not bothering to burst the bubble of his lies.

"Lin Xuan, let me ask you something, and you have to answer it truthfully."

"Well, you can ask."

"If one day I divorce him and lose the title of wife of a famous director, I won't be able to help you in your career.

I'm just an ordinary divorced woman in her 30s, would you still want me? "

This... the emotional crisis has reached this level.

Lin Xuan did not hesitate and hugged the beauty in his arms tighter:

"You are my Chang'e fairy, of course you want it."

Hearing this, a warm current surged through Chen Hong's heart, and he turned over and responded to Lin Xuan enthusiastically.

Whether it was true or not, she was satisfied to hear these words from his mouth.

"Life only lasts a few decades, don't care about other people, just follow your own heart."

"One day, I will support you for the rest of my life!"
