Xin Zhilei is a little insecure.
"Contemporary urban romance drama?"
"Am I not good-looking enough?"
"Young people all like watching young and beautiful female leads!"
Jiang Chen explained.
"It's not the latest era, but rather a bit outdated."
"It tells a love story set in Shanghai during the 1980s and 1990s!"
Xin Zhilei: "The 1980s to 1990s? Period drama?"
Jiang Chen: "Yes."
Xin Zhilei: "I'm more confident if it's a period drama, but I'm not up to the task when it comes to modern urban romance dramas."
Jiang Chen: "Don't worry, I won't choose actors randomly."
Xin Zhilei: When will filming begin?
Jiang Chen: "Come over if you're free tomorrow."
Xin Zhilei was extremely surprised.
"They're filming tomorrow?"
"I haven't even read the script yet."
Jiang Chen: "You can come over first to familiarize yourself with the script. Anyway, you can memorize it as you film."
Xin Zhilei: "Okay, I'll pack my things and head over now."
Jiang Chen: "Mm!"
After dealing with Xin Zhilei, Jiang Chen then called Ma Yili.
Ma Yili, who is divorced and stays at home taking care of her children, hasn't acted in a long time.
Although our current assets are enough to live on.
But this can't go on forever.
There are expenses every day.
If there's only spending and no income, it won't last long.
"Ring ring~~~"
"Ring ring~~~"
Suddenly, a call came in from an unknown number, which startled her quite a bit.
She picked up her phone, her brow furrowed, unsure whether to answer.
"Whose phone number is this in Hangzhou?"
Unsure of the situation, she had no choice but to answer the phone.
If it's a pyramid scheme call, hang up immediately.
"Hello!"
Who is it?
Jiang Chen introduced himself.
"Jiang Chen, the director of 'Dying to Survive'!"
Jiang Chen?
That record-breaking new director?
Ma Yili was extremely surprised.
The box office of "Dying to Survive" has now exceeded 2 billion yuan.
It is listed on the overall ranking.
It could even rank in the top ten.
This shows just how skilled Jiang Chen is.
"Are you really Director Jiang?"
Jiang Chen: "Genuine, no doubt about it!"
Ma Yili: "What do you want from me?"
Jiang Chen: "There's a TV series that's missing a lead actor. I wonder if you'd be interested!"
Ma Yili: "Is this a TV series that your company is going to produce?"
Jiang Chen: "Yes!"
Ma Yili blurted it out.
"Interested! Of course I'm interested!"
It was an honor for her to work with Jiang Chen.
If Jiang Chen makes her famous, she will benefit immensely.
Jiang Chen: "Can you come to Shanghai tomorrow?"
Ma Yili: "Okay!"
Jiang Chen: "Then come to Shanghai Film Park tomorrow, I'll be waiting for you here."
"good!"
Even now, after hanging up the phone, Ma Yili still can't believe that happiness came so suddenly.
Just when I was worried about not having any roles to play, a film crew came to me.
It was a film crew led by a new director who broke box office records.
If the TV series is as successful as the movie, she can become popular again.
"This must be Jiang Chen, right?"
"His accent is not much different from the ones on TV."
"The location is Shanghai Film Park."
"It shouldn't be a scam!"
After finding all four leading actresses, there is still one important person we haven't met.
Jiang Chen has to visit in person.
After all, the other person is ninety years old.
Limited mobility.
I guess they don't even want to film anymore.
Only by showing sufficient sincerity will Mr. You be willing to come out of retirement.
After buying the gifts, we immediately took a private car to Jiangsu Province.
Upon arriving at a nursing home, Jiang Chen inquired about the address of teacher You Benchang from the staff and headed straight for it.
"Knock knock~~"
"Knock knock~~"
He knocked on the door and stood there, waiting for a response.
Wearing reading glasses, Old You, reading the newspaper, opened his weathered voice to ask a question.
Who is it?
Jiang Chen: "Junior Jiang Chen has come to pay a visit."
Old Man You: "Jiang Chen? Who are you?"
This name is completely unfamiliar.
He had never heard of it.
I don't know who the other person is or what they want.
Jiang Chen introduced himself.
"New singer."
"The director of 'Dying to Survive'".
I haven't seen the movie "Dying to Survive" starring Yu Benchang.
According to the information provided by Jiang Chen, the other party is a celebrity.
As the saying goes, you can't do two things at once.
A singer and a director at the same time, was he genuinely here to visit?
With so many identities, what great things can one accomplish?
"A singer and a director at the same time?"
Jiang Chen: "Yes!"
Old Master You: "With so many identities, can you really do one thing well?"
Jiang Chen responded.
"As a singer, I have already won the championship on a big stage, defeating a group of seniors such as Han Lei, Luo Qi, and Wei Wei."
"I have already grossed 2 billion yuan at the box office as a director, and my debut film has won the championship during the Mid-Autumn Festival golden period."
He knows singers like Han Lei, Luo Qi, and Wei Wei.
They are all veterans in the music industry.
He had listened to these singers' songs.
It's a bit of an exaggeration that the first film grossed 2 billion yuan.
In his memory, there are very few movies that have grossed over 2 billion yuan.
Old Master You: "Really? You have that ability?"
Jiang Chen: "Just let me in, and I'll show you the information online in detail, okay?"
Such a young and promising man deserves to meet.
Yu Benchang, leaning on his cane, walked over step by step and opened the door.
