Chapter 306 Lin Xuan: I don’t drink, I just want to try it! (Please subscribe!)

In a house where women live alone, Lin Xuan can't move around easily, so he just sits on the sofa and watches TV.

In the kitchen, the sound of the range hood kept ringing.

Across the oil sand glass, Zeng Li's graceful figure stirred up and down in front of the stove.

If the identities of the two people were not known, the scene would look like a newlywed couple.

More than an hour later, the glass door of the kitchen opened and Zeng Li walked out with a dinner plate.

"Director Lin, it's time to wash your hands and eat."

"coming."

After washing his hands, Lin Xuan sat down at the dining table and found that several dishes on the table were purely vegetarian.

Zeng Li took off her apron and wiped the sweat from her forehead with a towel.

In this way, the two of them chatted while eating.

Zeng Li introduced her college life, and Lin Xuan told interesting stories about her time as an extra.

Putting down the glass, Zeng Li asked again: "This wine is very good, do you really want to drink some?"

It turns out that this is what it means!
Zeng Li closed her eyes slightly, but her body was very stiff and she didn't know where to place her hands.

Zeng Li was stunned and didn't react until her lips were touched.

Lin Xuan has only been a monk for a dozen days, and it has been more than half a year since Zeng Li broke up with her last boyfriend Fu Dalong.

Zeng Li didn't know how to answer.

Zeng Li washed the pots and dishes and then went to the master bedroom to take a shower. She was sweating from the heat of cooking and had to take a shower and change clothes.

A spark completely ignited the volcano that had been building up for a long time.

The shredded potatoes you copied are crispy, sour and spicy, and have a good color, flavor and flavor. It seems that you often cook at home. "

Lin Xuan turned to look at her, smiled and shook his head: "I should drink some, but it's a pity that I have to drive."

He raised his head in disappointment and drank the red wine in the glass.

Lin Xuan looked at her lips: "I really want to try it."

He is talking nonsense, and all his excitement in life was learned in the system space.

She sat next to Lin Xuan, placed the wine glass on the coffee table and prepared to pour the wine.

Zeng Li smiled and said, "Then try it quickly."

When she came out, she changed into a plain dress and short skirt, and her thighs were wrapped in flesh-colored stockings, which made her look even longer.

Zeng Li boasted: "I am forced by life, you cultivate my sentiments, and your realm is higher than mine."

Lin Xuan slowly approached and lowered his head, reaching out to hold the side of her face.

Zeng Li was afraid that he would not be full, so she copied several dishes and stuffed them all into his stomach in order not to waste them.

"The red wine my friend gave me, let's drink some together?"

Zeng Li laughed at herself: "When I first graduated, I couldn't get any roles, I couldn't make money, and if I didn't cook for myself, my wallet would be in trouble every day in restaurants."

After dinner, Lin Xuan's stomach was full.

"You...you can find a driver."

"It's good to have a vegetarian meal once in a while, and whether the food is delicious or not has nothing to do with meat or vegetables, it all depends on your cooking skills."

"Well, it's time to take a rest."

"I……"

Zeng Li did not expect this situation, and her expression was suddenly stunned.

"Director Lin, please rest, I'll take care of it."

Lin Xuan glanced at it, then focused on watching the TV series.

"I'm just the opposite of you. When I have no money, I eat two steamed buns for breakfast, and eat the crew's box lunches for lunch and dinner. When I make money, I have the leisure to start studying cooking."

"The driver asked us what our relationship is, what are you going to say?"

Lin Xuan was not polite to her and went straight to the sofa.

Lin Xuan gave a very objective and positive review.

Zeng Li smiled and said, "Then you don't want to drive anymore?"

Zeng Li walked to the restaurant, took out the wine glass skillfully, and opened a new bottle of red wine.

"I'm sorry, there is no meat at home and all the dishes are vegetarian. I don't know if you are used to it."

Lin Xuan picked up a piece of shredded potatoes and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Open, so I just want to try it!"

“The new homemade potato shreds either take too long to fry the potatoes and the potatoes are mushy, or the time is too short and the potatoes are not yet cooked.

Lin Xuan's skills were superb, and her body temperature became higher and higher after a while.

Zeng Li gradually found her state and hugged Lin Xuan's waist tightly with her backhand.

After chewing each other for a while, Lin Xuan felt that she was almost done, so he held her waist and carried her into the bedroom.

After a long time.

The bedroom is finally quiet!

Lin Xuan habitually wants to light up a cigarette afterwards.

Remembering that this was Zeng Li's bedroom, she stuffed her cigarette inside again.

"Smoke it, I don't mind."

Zeng Li rested her head on his shoulder, her fair face turned rosy, as if she could squeeze out water.

"It smells like smoke." Lin Xuan shook his head slightly.

"fine."

Zeng Li turned over, put the cigarette into his mouth, and then helped light it.

"This is your reward."

Lin Xuan laughed a few times and put his arms around her waist.

"It seems you are very satisfied with my performance."

Zeng Li was too shy to speak and retracted her head into the quilt.

After smoking and putting out the cigarette, Lin Xuan said, "Go take a shower. You have to go back to the set after taking a shower."

There is a scene to be filmed tomorrow morning, so I must rush back tonight.

"it is good."

Zeng Li went to the bathroom wrapped in a bath towel, and Lin Xuan followed her in.

"you……"

"Hurry up and let's wash together."

His body recovery speed is very fast, and the CD of his skill can be restored in just one cigarette.

After scoring twice in the bathroom, the two of them drove back to the set with satisfaction.

…………

Although they broke through the last layer of their relationship, the two still kept a distance on the set.

Only when she finished work and returned to the hotel in the evening, Zeng Li would sneak in cautiously.

After a few days of wonderful life, Lin Xuan Studio’s official website announced an update.

[The movie "Crazy Stone" fully invested by Lin Xuan Studio is officially approved! 】

The announcement contains basic information about the movie.

Lin Xuan's name appeared in the column of screenwriters, ranking first

This was a decision made by Ning Hao and his wife after discussion, and they also sought the consent of several other screenwriters.

As we all know, the deeper Lin Xuan's involvement in the project, the greater the fans' willingness to buy tickets and the better the market feedback will be.

This is what fans call "Hanxuan Quantity".

Ning Hao enjoys 5% of the movie's revenue share, so he naturally hopes that the movie will perform better at the box office.

When the news came out, it quickly aroused heated discussions inside and outside the circle.

The last time the studio invested in "The Blind Shaft", it earned hundreds of millions in box office in the mainland.

Director Li Yang won the Berlin Silver Bear Award, and Wang Baoqiang won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer. It was a double success at the box office and word of mouth.

This time he invested in a new director. Could it be that he had discovered another piece of diamond in the rough?
Friends in the circle called one after another to express their concern.

Knowing that the movie was still a crime comedy that Lin Xuan was good at, they immediately began to recommend themselves.

Lin Xuan was too lazy to pay attention and directly gave them Ning Hao's phone number, leaving the casting to him.

As for whether Ning Hao will choose the original cast, Lin Xuan doesn't care.

There are many reasons for the success of a movie, and casting is just one of them.

As long as the director has the ability to select and train actors, even if the original cast is not used, the quality of the movie will not be affected, and it can even be improved. The tower near the water gets the moon first.

After the battle in the evening, Zeng Li lay on the bed with her feet up and read the script of "Crazy Stone", laughing from time to time.

After she read the script, she admired Lin Xuan's vision and ability even more.

Even though she was just an actress, she could see that the script had the potential to be a hit.

Lin Xuan held her in his arms, pointed at the script and said: "The audition hasn't started yet, it's more convenient to arrange the roles now. Are you interested in the role of Brother Dao's girlfriend?"

Zeng Li's eyes lit up and she turned to look at Lin Xuan, her eyes full of joy.

But she thought for a moment and shook her head slightly.

"Forget it, I don't want you to give me a role that makes it feel like a deal between us."

"This is not a deal, this is a reward for you. Just tell me if you are interested."

Lin Xuan returned to her exactly what he said at her house that day.

"Have!"

Zeng Li hesitated for a while, smiled and nodded.

"As long as you're interested, you can join the group seamlessly once the deal is finalized here."

"Yeah! Thank you!"

Zeng Li came up and kissed him hard.

Lin Xuan felt excited and prepared for a second battle.

Suddenly the cell phone rang.

"Hey, here comes the annoying one."

Lin Xuan answered the phone helplessly: "Director Han?"

"Lin Xuan, you kid lied to me, didn't you? Didn't you say before that the script was not good and you weren't prepared to invest?"

As expected, Han Sanping called just for this matter.

"I'm not lying to you. The original script is indeed very average. But after talking with Ning Hao, I made major changes to the script, and he also accepted the modification suggestions."

"You...then why don't you contact me."

Han Sanping was in a hurry. Missing "Crazy Stone" made him feel like he missed 100 million.

Ning Hao was unwilling to let go no matter how much he begged him, but Lin Xuan, who happened to bump into him, took advantage of him.

"Director Han, I really don't have the nerve to ask you to invest in a 500 million low-budget movie."

"The cost of the movie is small, but the profit is high. It is now rumored that the box office of this movie will be at least over 100 million."

"It's rumored outside, but you believe it."

"Other directors are probably telling you nonsense, but don't you know your abilities?"

"Okay, Director Han, don't worry about these three melons and two dates. The studio only participates in the production of two or three movies every year. How can we support a large group of people under our command if we don't make more money.

Now that this story is over, let’s talk about “The Tuner”. It’s been several days and there’s no news at all. "

Lin Xuan changed the topic directly.

There was silence for a moment on the other end of the phone, and then a sigh came: "Lin Xuan, your script is a bit troublesome. I ran to the radio and television several times, but they just won't let go."

Lin Xuan frowned and asked, "Why can't I pass? Is it because of the scene involving the police?"

"Yes, if this part is not changed, I think there is little chance that the script will pass the review.

I suggest you take some time to go to Radio and Television in the next two days. Maybe you, Director Lin, are so proud that someone suddenly gave you a pass. "

Lin Xuan laughed and said: "Dong Han really knows how to joke, how can I possibly do what you can't do.

Well, let's do that. I'll go to the Radio and Television Station tomorrow morning to see what's going on. "

"Okay, come to China Film Academy after you've been there."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xuan sighed and lost interest.

Zeng Li came over and asked, "The new movie script failed to pass the review."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly.

"Don't all great directors have privileges? What story did you write?"

Lin Xuan reached out and hugged her tightly, and began to tell the story of "The Tuner".

Zeng Li has a big frame and is full of flesh.

Holding her is like holding a large pillow, which can relieve the depression in your heart.

After hearing the plot of the story, Zeng Li was extremely impressed by his talent, and at the same time understood why the script could not be accepted by radio and television.

The police in the film are not only outlaws, but later on they even look like clowns.

If the film is broadcast, it will definitely damage the image of the police force, and it will be natural for them to be banned.

…………

The next morning, Lin Xuan came to the radio and television on time.

The leader took his situation very seriously and called a few people to have a meeting.

As expected, the problem lies with the corrupt police. It has been discussed within the radio and television. These scenes will definitely not be allowed to pass unless the script is deleted.

Even if Lin Xuan has achievements, abilities, and connections, it won't work.

Ever since "Xiu Chun Knife" became a hit, the higher-ups have been interested in cultivating him and making him the leader of the new generation of directors.

But this kind of scene is too close to the face, so even if the radio and television relaxed the standards, he would have to delete at least three scenes.

Lin Xuan re-read the revised script and found that the story was slightly less exciting.

This is very confusing!

How many scenes were deleted?

Or just change the background of the story?

"If the country where the story takes place is changed to a foreign country, there should be no problem in passing the trial, right?"

Hearing this, several leaders looked at each other.

"Of course you can change the background of the story to a foreign country, but if you do this, you are not afraid that the mainland audience will not buy it?"

Only when modern dramas are set in China can mainland audiences have a sense of immersion. Otherwise, box office performance will definitely decline.

Whether he should take care of mainland audiences or cater to overseas audiences requires him to make a choice.

"I have considered this issue, but I have revised this version of the script many times and I really don't want to delete a word."

Lin Xuan said so, and the leaders could only respect his opinion.

The original manuscript was rejected, and "The Tuner" failed its first review.

After leaving Radio and Television, Lin Xuan took a car directly to China Film.

"Looking at your expression, the script must not have been approved. I told you to delete it, but you just didn't believe it."

Han Sanping was a little gloating.

"The Broadcasting Corporation did not ask me to delete all of it, but only said that it would delete three scenes. How could I accept it?

The script is already perfect. It took me so long and I added and deleted it dozens of times during this period. I couldn't even change a single word. "

Han Sanping also experienced Lin Xuan's stubborn temper.

So he asked: "Then what are you going to do?"

"It's very simple. Just change the background of the story. Let me think about it, why not change it to Bangzi Country."

Since the abolition of the film censorship system, Bangziguo's movies are like cheating.

Cursing the president, scolding the plutocrats, scolding the Americans... Only you can't think of it, but I wouldn't dare to shoot it without them.

This kind of creative environment is simply a holy place for directors of suspense crime films.

"Bangzi Country?"

"Yeah, I just happened to have a chat with CJ's Li Meijing, and both parties are willing to cooperate.

I thought I would have to wait another two years, but I didn’t expect to collaborate so quickly.

But it makes sense if you think about it carefully. CJ has connections in Hollywood, which is very important for the development of overseas markets for movies. "

Han Sanping reacted and said quickly: "You don't want to leave China Film Group and cooperate with CJ."

He had the nerve to open his mouth.

Lin Xuan explained: "I originally expected Director Han to help me make the film pass censorship without deletions. Since the radio and television route is not feasible, then I don't need the funds from China Film."

Being rejected in person, Han Sanping became anxious and hurriedly sat over and said, "Lin Xuan, I've been very busy these days. I have no credit but also hard work."

Han Sanping pulled him and started talking nonsense.

Lin Xuan had no choice but to agree to cooperate.

Lin Xuan Studio and China Film Group are jointly responsible for the promotion and distribution of the movie "The Tuner" in the mainland.
