Chapter 44 What? Let me replace Hu Ge?
…
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Lu Feng guessed, should refer to the one filmed by Hu Ge.
That drama was supposed to be filmed in 2006, but because Hu Ge had a car accident, the entire crew delayed it for a year. In September this year, they were going to restart filming.
The system has already given an invitation to the crew, so the probability is high that it will be a success.
I just don’t know, which character it is?
"Guo Jing is impossible."
"Considering my image, it's either Lu Guanying or Ouyang Ke... I'm lucky, the second male lead, Yang Kang?"
After Lu Feng watched Li Xiaoqin go upstairs, he thought for a while but couldn't come up with a definite answer.
Turned and walked towards the school gate.
But he didn't know that Li Xiaoqin had been lying on the balcony, looking at him from afar, with his shadow reflected in her eyes.
…
Near Shanghai Film Group.
In a cafe on Film Street.
"Wait a minute, your hair is messed up."
"Today, uncle will teach you a universal truth. The older a woman is, the pickier she is about men, especially when she is still single."
After getting off the car, Li Songqiang helped Lu Feng tidy up his hair at the door, making him look delicate and handsome, and then took him in.
Not long after, Lu Feng understood what Li Songqiang was talking about.
After entering the coffee shop and turning a corner, Lu Feng saw a woman who was about 40 years old, very intellectual and elegant.
She sat in the corner by the window, with wavy curly hair.
An exquisite small leather bag was placed next to her. I couldn't tell what brand it was, but the leather was very fine and probably not cheap.
She likes to drink caramel macchiato, and I guess there is a little princess living in her heart.
——At first glance, I thought it was Li Li from "Fang Hua".
"Mr. Li, long time no see. You look better than ever. It seems you are in high spirits because of good things happening to you."
"Boss Wang, you are the one. You are becoming more and more brilliant."
On a weekday evening, there weren't many people in the cafe.
Li Songqiang pulled Lu Feng to sit down and chatted casually with the lady opposite.
Li Songqiang is a musician and has played in a band himself. He has the romantic aura of a musician, but he is also a shrewd businessman.
Over the years, he has traveled far and wide and gained a lot of knowledge. He always has endless new things to talk about, which makes Mr. Wang opposite him laugh so hard that he can't stop.
"Mr. Wang, let me formally introduce you. This is my nephew Lu Feng, a new singer who has been very popular recently. The song "Guest" that was playing in the cafe when we walked in just now is a new song that he wrote and composed."
Li Songqiang did not say that Lu Feng was a contracted singer of his company, but directly said that he was his nephew, which made the relationship suddenly become very close.
This also made it impossible for Mr. Wang to refuse easily.
"He is indeed a handsome man."
The moment Mr. Wang came in, he was struck by Lu Feng’s handsomeness.
Especially Lu Feng's noble temperament, which was different from the roughness and frivolity of ordinary young handsome guys. It was full of restrained sexual tension, which was a perfect killer for her.
At this moment, hearing Li Songqiang say that Lu Feng was his nephew, she couldn't help but want to laugh.
With Li Songqiang's family genes, could they give birth to such a handsome guy?
"Nephew, where are you studying?"
President Wang looked at Lu Feng. She knew why Li Songqiang came.
"Mr. Wang, you are really a forgetful person. Didn't I tell you last time? Lu Feng is studying at the Shanghai Theatre Academy and is well-liked by teachers and classmates. His acting skills are definitely fine."
Li Songqiang helped Lu Feng brag.
Lu Feng screamed in his heart, this was a big problem.
The system evaluates that my acting skills are only F-level, and at most I can play a small supporting role like a soldier.
But the resources are right in front of him, how could Lu Feng refuse?
At this moment, he could only nod guiltily.
"Boss Wang, I heard that your company is working with Huayi on a big project called The Sound of Wind, starring all big stars. Do you think it's possible to include our Lu Feng in it?"
Hearing Li Songqiang's words, Lu Feng couldn't help but widen his eyes.
What's going on?
Isn’t it “The Legend of the Condor Heroes”?
How did it become "The Sound of Wind"?
The level has been improved so much in an instant?
Sure enough, Mr. Wang fell silent for a moment, feeling very speechless.
Although she also wanted to get one of her own into the crew of "The Sound of Wind", it had to be at least a top-tier star.
Even a star like Huang Xiaoming, who became famous earlier this year with "The Bund", could only play the role of a Japanese colonel in "The Sound of Wind".
Lu Feng is such an unknown character, he can probably only play a Japanese soldier in the film.
Is there any meaning in playing this kind of role?
In 2007, the mainland movie box office was very sluggish. A movie that could earn over 100 million yuan was considered a great success, and could even rank among the top 5 of the year.
The current film industry is dominated by Hong Kong and Taiwan stars, especially the leading male roles, which are basically impossible to give to mainland stars.
The heroine does have resources, which occasionally leak out.
It was not until the beginning of 2008, when Edison Chen’s nude photo scandal took away a wave of Hong Kong and Taiwan female stars, that mainland female stars finally saw a ray of hope.
However, at this stage, although there are few resources, the top male actors in the mainland are hungry and want to make movies.
They have long been very dissatisfied with the situation where male stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan have been dominating the film market, and they are eager to change it.
But they are also worried that the market will not recognize them.
Therefore, Shanghai Film Group joined hands with Huayi, gathered many powerful actors from the mainland, and prepared a big production "The Sound of Wind", hoping to drop a blockbuster bomb in the market.
If it succeeds, a lot of capital will surely come in.
The opportunity for mainland male actors to prove themselves has come.
——The most crucial thing is that "The Sound of Wind" is Huayi's last battle before its listing, which is related to the market's valuation of Huayi. Huayi has mobilized almost all of its stars, so how can outsiders squeeze in?
"All the roles for the project 'The Sound of Wind' have already been decided. I'm afraid there's nothing I can do."
Mr. Wang took a sip of coffee and then shook his head to refuse.
"In that case..."
Mr. Wang thought that Li Songqiang was about to turn around and leave, so he wanted to say some polite words and complain to Li Songqiang.
We are old friends, even if the deal doesn't go through, we still have friendship.
Unexpectedly, Li Songqiang ordered two more desserts, sat down again, and said with a smile: "Boss Wang, you are a real god. I finally invited you out, and you must not come in vain."
He was just throwing a stone to test the water.
He had never even thought about a film project like "The Sound of Wind". He just wanted to test Mr. Wang's attitude.
Just now, Ms. Wang thought for a while before denying it, which means she is still willing to help.
That's what we talked about.
Li Songqiang continued, "I heard that your company had a problem with the filming of The Legend of the Condor Heroes with Tangren. It seems that the leading actor had a car accident, so it was delayed for a year. Has this project been restarted?"
Jin Yong's dramas are most suitable for promoting newcomers.
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is Li Songqiang's goal.
Movie projects like "The Sound of Wind" sound impressive, but for newcomers, unless they are directly airdropped into the role and cause a huge public opinion effect.
Otherwise, it would be better to watch Jin Yong's dramas, which are easier to gain national popularity.
Lu Feng is not just an actor.
After becoming nationally famous, his commercial value as a singer will only become more terrifying.
…
Li Songqiang's words made Mr. Wang stunned for a moment.
"Boss Li, you don't want Lu Feng to replace Hu Ge, do you? Based on our relationship, it wouldn't be a big problem to let Lu Feng join the crew of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, but your appetite is too big, isn't it?"
Mr. Wang didn't know what to say.
Although Shanghai Film Group is indeed one of the main investors in the project of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", she could also call Mr. Cai from Tangren and force a few people in.
But isn't it a bit exaggerated to change the male lead right away?
Boss Cai is not made of clay either.
