Chapter 426: Port City Speed



Nowadays, most Hong Kong movies are mainly based on male stars, and the female stars don’t have enough roles, and some are even used as foils or as a diversion. But this "Legal Beauty" is mainly based on the female lead, and even the second female lead has more roles than the male lead.

After receiving a call from Tian Pengyu, who said that the boss had said that if she didn't audition, she would choose someone else, she hesitated and finally gave in. The script was good and had the potential to be a hit, and it would be a pity to miss it.

On the day of the audition, Lu Jiaxin had to attend classes so she didn't go, leaving the audition to Tian Pengyu and Director Qi. In the evening, Tian Pengyu came to report that Director Qi had decided on Miss Zheng as the female lead, Lan Yinggu as the second female lead, and Miss Wang and Zhou Yunu would also be in the cast. As for the male lead, it was Liu Ren.

Tian Pengyu and Lu Jiaxin recommended a man named Yang Yichang to play the second male lead: "Yang Yichang is from our company, he loves acting very much and his acting skills are very good."

When Lu Jiaxin heard that the other party had an ordinary appearance, she refused without a second thought: "This is a fashion drama, and it must have handsome men and beautiful women. The male lead, Liu Sheng, is a handsome and elegant man with a graceful demeanor, and the male second can't be too different."

It's OK if it's just a cameo role, after all, the audience won't pay attention to what a passerby looks like. But it's not OK if it's an important supporting role, it will lower the appearance of the crew.

Tian Pengyu said, "Ms. Lu, these are people from other film and television companies. If the show becomes popular, our company won't benefit."

He didn't dare to conclude that the drama would be a hit, but there was absolutely no problem in making a profit, so he wanted to let the company's people show up more.

Lu Jiaxin said, "I remember that Miss Lan's contract is about to expire. Let's see if she is willing to sign with Wanting Film and Television."

It is quite sad that this beautiful woman who is so beautiful in Mount Wutai ended up like this. If she was willing to sign with Wanting Films, she would definitely not have encountered the following things. Of course, if she didn't want to, she wouldn't force it. She is not a Bodhisattva who can save people from suffering and disasters, and she can't save everyone.

Tian Pengyu hesitated and said, "I don't think Miss Lan will agree."

Nie Jingting, who has a good reputation, would not consider Wanting Film and Television if he wanted to develop in this industry. Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Tell her that this play is just the beginning, and I will make more movies in the future. I don't want her to make a decision immediately, it won't be too late to consider it after the movie is released."

This is about me, not Wanting Film and Television. This shows that if "Legal Beauty" is successful, Miss Lu is likely to open a film and television company. This is not okay. I finally see hope, but I can't let it slip away from my hands. He plans to find an opportunity to have a good chat with the Third Master.

The script, director, and actors were all in place, and Lu Jiaxin had already transferred the funds to Wanting Film and Television's account. So the filming started soon.

As soon as the filming started, the costume designer from Green Forest and the jewelry designer from Wufu Jewelry immediately moved in, followed by two lawyers from Hongchang.

Lu Jiaxin didn't care about what happened after the filming started. She knew nothing about filming, so she didn't give any instructions. However, Yu Meitong and Shi Xinyu were very curious, so they made an appointment to visit the set.

Lu Jiaxin promised them that if there was a suitable role, she would let them play a cameo role. Director Qi saw that both of them were beauties, so he immediately arranged for Shi Xinyu to play the female lead's college classmate, and Yu Meitong to play a spoiled rich girl who deliberately made things difficult for the female lead. Because the roles were designed according to their personalities, they played them quite well.

After the two of them had their fill of acting, they came to Lu Jiaxin and told her that filming was fun. If she were to make a movie in the future, she would like to make a cameo appearance.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "If there is a role that fits you, then there will be no problem."

Yu Meitong said, "Jia Xin, my cousin is a senior executive at Golden Harvest. After your movie is finished, you will definitely need to find a theater chain to release it. I can ask him for help."

Wanting Films' movies have always been shown in Golden Princess' cinemas. Nie Jingting and the youngest son of the major shareholder of Golden Princess were childhood friends, which is why his movies are shown even though everyone knows they are bad. There is no other way, he has a strong backing. Of course, if Golden Harvest is also willing to introduce her movies, that would be a good thing.

"Then I'll communicate with him first, and then let Manager Tian go to him."

After school that day, Lu Jiaxin returned to the apartment and saw Xu Yue and Susan waiting for her. She rubbed her temples and listened to the two people's work reports.

Xu Yue and Susan, one in charge of the internal affairs and the other in charge of the external affairs, have worked well together for the past six months. Lu Jiaxin, on the other hand, is focusing on the general direction, using bank loans to expand the store. From the initial three stores, it has expanded to twelve stores, but Lu Jiaxin is still not satisfied with this number.

After listening to the reports of the two people, Lu Jiaxin told her next plan, which was to continue to borrow money to open stores. She planned to use the bank loan to open more branches to seize the market. Once she occupied the market, she would not have to worry about not making money.

Xu Yue and Susan had no objections, mainly because Lu Jiaxin was rich and had such a large real estate company, so they didn't have to worry about Green Forest's high debt ratio.

After the report, Susan talked about the movie "Legally Blonde". She also visited the set and watched a few clips. She thought it was very good: "Boss, I think our movie will definitely be a hit. If the movie is a hit, it will boost the sales of our Green Forest."

So she thinks that preparations must be made now, and not wait until the movie is released and becomes popular, when there are orders but no supply.

Xu Yue had the same idea.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "You are so confident, but what if the movie doesn't become a hit?"

Xu Yue said it was impossible: "There are so many handsome men and beautiful women, it's pleasing to the eyes. Although I haven't finished watching the plot, I was deeply moved after watching a clip of the filming. In this world, parents are unreliable, let alone men, so you still have to rely on yourself."

Lu Jiaxin agreed to stock up in advance, but cut the quantity Susan mentioned in half: "If there is no stock by then, let the customer make a reservation first and give it to them when there is stock."

This will let customers know that their clothes are so popular that they are sold out. In addition, although everyone said that this drama will be popular, she is not so confident. Movies are unpredictable. Many well-made movies have failed in the end. It is risky to stock up too much.

Susan and Xu Yue thought what she said made sense.

The filming started in November and was completed by the end of December. The editing and dubbing were also completed in mid-January. It took more than two months, which is the speed of Hong Kong.

After the film came out, Lu Jiaxin watched it first, and she also specially called Nie Zhan.

After reading it, Nie Zhan was very satisfied and said, "This plot is good. Our costumes and jewelry are also shown. It should be no problem to make back the investment."

The purpose of making this movie was not to make money, but to advertise his own clothing factory and jewelry company. So his requirement was to just get back the investment.
