Jiang Chen encouraged him.
"Don't rush, take your time."
"Accumulate experience, connections, and wealth; when you achieve success and fame, everything will fall into place naturally."
Wang Chuanjun gave a wry smile and shook his head.
"Achieving that level of wealth and status is too difficult for me."
"I've always been an artist who isn't good with words, so it's hard for me to get along in the industry."
"Unless I am worth billions, it will be difficult for me to realize what I want in this lifetime."
Jiang Chen: "It all depends on human effort. Let's take it slow."
People can't be compared.
Wang Chuanjun quickly adjusted his mindset and stopped comparing himself to others.
When does Teacher Jiang plan to make this movie?
Jiang Chen: "I feel like tomorrow will be fine."
Wang Chuanjun was taken aback.
"So fast?"
"I'm not ready yet."
Jiang Chen: "Then let's do it the day after tomorrow!"
The incident happened so suddenly that he felt the other celebrities weren't prepared either.
Let's wait another day before filming.
Wang Chuanjun: "Then I'll pack my bags and head to Hengdian right away."
Jiang Chen: "We're not going to Hengdian, we're going to Nanjing. Our filming location is in Nanjing!"
Wang Chuanjun: "Nan Jing?"
Jiang Chen: "Yes!"
Wang Chuanjun: "Why?"
Jiang Chen explained.
"We make down-to-earth movies."
"To resonate with the audience, the best filming locations are those that are close to real life."
After thinking about it, it makes sense.
Most of the buildings in Hengdian are neat and orderly.
Viewers can tell at a glance whether it fits the needs of the plot.
Wang Chuanjun: "Then I'm off to Nanjing!"
Jiang Chen: "We haven't even discussed the salary yet. Aren't you worried at all?"
Wang Chuanjun: "Just give me the market price, I'm not asking for much!"
Jiang Chen: "Can I pay on credit?"
Wang Chuanjun: "What? Teacher Jiang doesn't have money?"
Jiang Chen: "My money is probably only enough for the crew's daily expenses."
Wang Chuanjun: "So little?"
Jiang Chen: "So, do you believe me or not?"
Wang Chuanjun hesitated for a moment before replying, "I don't believe it, but I believe in this script!"
What moved him most was not Jiang Chen's reputation or ability, but the script.
It was so well written that he was immediately captivated.
Jiang Chen breathed a long sigh of relief.
Upon hearing the words "I don't believe you," he thought he was doomed.
Unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better.
"So, you're saying you're agreeing to buy on credit?"
Wang Chuanjun: "Yes!"
Jiang Chen: "Thank you. I will definitely repay you handsomely once the box office results are released."
Wang Chuanjun: "No need to be so polite."
Jiang Chen: "Regarding the role, I might ask you to play Lü Shouyi. I don't know if you can accept that?"
In the film, Lü Shouyi plays a character suffering from a serious illness.
They don't appear on camera very often.
However, its function is crucial.
If Wang Chuanjun performs well, he can gain considerable fame.
After reading the script, Wang Chuanjun felt unwilling.
Although Lü Shouyi is a good character.
But the male lead is better; he's a hero.
He wanted to play the male lead well and become an overnight sensation.
"Who is your chosen male lead?"
Jiang Chen made no attempt to hide anything: "Xu Zheng!"
Xu Zheng is a veteran actor.
He also admired him from the bottom of his heart.
If Xu Zheng were to play the role, he would indeed be more suitable than him.
As long as it's not a young, handsome actor playing the role, it's fine.
Casting a young, pretty boy as Cheng Yong is an insult to this heroic figure.
Wang Chuanjun: "If Teacher Xu plays Cheng Yong, I am willing to accept the role of Lü Shouyi."
Jiang Chen breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, they managed to settle things with one of the actors.
Next, he will have to face off against co-stars Zhou Yiwei, Tan Zhuo, and Li Naiwen. He really doesn't know what to do.
...
All the pre-selected lead actors thought the script was good after reading it.
Later, upon learning that Xu Zheng was willing to let Jiang Chen pay on credit to film the movie, the pre-selected lead actor gritted his teeth and agreed to let Jiang Chen pay on credit as well.
Anyway, Jiang Chen is a talented singer.
He could pay off the debts he owed them simply by singing.
There's absolutely no need to worry about Jiang Chen breaching the contract.
...
After everything was settled, Jiang Chen packed his bags and headed to Hengdian.
He recruited some extras, and together with the recent graduates who had gathered in Hengdian, they went to Nanjing.
The recent graduates recruited into "Jiang's Media" went crazy when they saw Jiang Chen in person.
Jiang Chen is even more handsome in person than in the video call.
Her facial features are very three-dimensional and flawless.
With exquisite features, a graceful bearing, and an imposing presence.
She's truly adored by everyone, and flowers bloom for her.
Moreover, Jiang Chen is not as cowardly as he appears.
On the contrary, he is calm and composed, never panics in the face of adversity, and gives proper command, making him a person capable of shouldering great responsibilities.
Holy crap!
"I never expected that an idol singer could be so calm and composed, and so knowledgeable about everything."
"He seems younger than me, but much more mature."
"Is this really a young and handsome man?"
"It doesn't look like it at all."
"Aren't the online comments only seeing the surface of his personality?"
"Anyway, no one who has had private contact with Jiang Chen dares to underestimate him."
I had a role to play on my first day of work.
They are full of hope for the future.
In the film and television industry, you don't make a living based on experience, but on your work.
Whoever makes the best film and has the widest audience will have the last laugh.
Once they have multiple hit works, even if they switch to a major film and television company, they can still get a good position and a considerable salary.
After leaving Hengdian by car, Jiang Chen headed straight for Nan Jing.
"Huh?"
