Big-budget film crews don't have to worry about actors; actors come to the crews asking for roles.
Only small film crews with no money or manpower would wait outside the Beijing Film Academy to solicit people, or use the guise of a film crew to engage in illicit activities.
This kind of thing happens all the time; it's nothing new.
Moreover, it's not just the Beijing Film Academy; people are also squatting at the gates of other schools like the Shanghai Theatre Academy, the Central Academy of Drama, and the Communication University of China, especially during graduation and the start of the new semester, when there are even more so-called film crew members squatting at the gates.
Su Zhengnan glanced at it a few times and then lost interest, turning around and continuing to walk forward.
He's already tried acting and such.
He's tried everything, from playing minor roles to guest appearances and special guest roles, but nothing seems to be fun anymore.
Su Zhengnan wandered aimlessly along the street opposite the Beijing Film Academy for the entire morning before having lunch outside and returning home for a nap.
The weather outside is getting hotter and hotter, it looks like summer is here!
After his lunch break, Su Zhengnan did not go out but stayed at home to rest.
It's a bit hot, so I'm too lazy to go out since I don't have anything to do.
.............
evening.
It's past six o'clock!
Zhu Yawen called and invited Su Zhengnan out for dinner that evening.
Thinking that he had nothing else to do that evening, Su Zhengnan agreed.
Afterwards, Su Zhengnan changed his coat and went out, driving to the restaurant that Zhu Yawen had mentioned.
This is a seafood restaurant, specializing in seafood, and the prices are not low.
After all, Beijing is far from the ocean, so seafood here is never cheap.
As soon as Su Zhengnan parked his car and entered the restaurant, he saw Zhu Yawen sitting by the window waving at him, along with his girlfriend and two other women and a man.
Su Zhengnan didn't recognize either of the two women and the man, but they looked somewhat familiar, so he guessed they were probably in the entertainment industry.
They must be Zhu Yawen's friends.
As soon as Zhu Yawen saw Su Zhengnan arrive, he greeted him with a smile:
"Dr. Su, come, let me introduce you. These three are my friends: Li Jiahang, Song Jia, and Wang Likun!"
As he spoke, Zhu Yawen pointed to Su Zhengnan and then introduced him to the three of them:
"This is Dr. Su Zhengnan, the school doctor of Beijing Film Academy. His medical skills are superb. If you have any illnesses in the future, you can go to Dr. Su for treatment."
"Damn it, you're the one who's sick!"
Li Jiahang, sitting opposite him, chuckled and scolded him, then stood up and extended his hand to Su Zhengnan, saying:
"Hello, I'm Li Jiahang, nice to meet you."
"Hello!"
Su Zhengnan smiled and nodded, looking the other person up and down before realizing why the other person seemed somewhat familiar.
Isn't this the actor who will play Zhang Wei in the future "iPartment"?
That's right, it's the same guy who played the lawyer but ended up getting his own client imprisoned.
The other person seems to be a student at the Shanghai Theatre Academy; no wonder I haven't seen them at the Beijing Film Academy.
The other two women are also actresses, but their current fame is far less than Liu Yifei's level. However, they should be considered second-tier actresses in the future!
After getting to know the three of them, Su Zhengnan sat down.
Zhu Yawen smiled and said, "Dr. Su, please order whatever you like. Jiahang is treating you to this meal today."
"So you're being generous with other people's money, huh?"
Su Zhengnan chuckled and joked, then, without any hesitation, ordered a large lobster and a side of crab roe with scallions. He turned to the waiter standing nearby and said:
"That's all, I can't eat any more."
Su Zhengnan has been eating a lot these past few days. Although he doesn't need to lose weight, he still needs to control his evening food intake a little, otherwise it will not be good for his health.
"Yes, sir, your order will be here shortly."
The waiter bowed and responded, then turned and went to the kitchen to prepare the food.
Zhu Yawen glanced at Su Zhengnan and asked with a smile, "I heard from Qianqian that you wrote several songs for her, and I heard they were your original compositions? Dr. Su, when did you learn to write songs? This really surprises me!"
Upon hearing Zhu Yawen's question...
Su Zhengnan immediately realized why the other party had suddenly called to invite him out for dinner; it turned out it was for this matter!
It must have been the girl who called him about this?
Su Zhengnan couldn't help but smile slightly, looking at Zhu Yawen and saying, "Writing songs is pretty simple, isn't it? What? Yawen, do you also want to release an album?"
"No, no, how could I possibly want to release an album!"
Zhu Yawen couldn't help but chuckle, and quickly waved his hand, saying, "If I were to sing with my tone-deaf voice, I'd probably get beaten to death. I'm just purely curious."
"Oh, really?"
Su Zhengnan was clearly a little skeptical of this statement. Then he turned his head and noticed that Zhu Yawen's girlfriend had secretly pinched him. Zhu Yawen winced in pain but could only put on a smiling face.
So... is it his girlfriend who wants to release an album?
Su Zhengnan quickly realized the problem, smiled at Zhu Yawen, and didn't say anything more.
If it's his girlfriend who wants to release an album.
Su Zhengnan believed that Zhu Yawen would definitely speak up again. In any case, this matter had nothing to do with him. If he wanted to help, it would depend on Zhu Yawen's sincerity.
"hiss....."
Zhu Yawen gasped in pain, feeling a sharp pain coming from where his girlfriend was pinching him. He could only turn his head and desperately try to signal to Pan Yudan with his eyes.
Seeing this, Pan Yudan released her grip on Zhu Yawen's belly, raised an eyebrow slightly, and whispered in his ear:
"I'm telling you to hurry up and tell him if he has any other original songs. If you don't ask, I'll ask him myself."
"Cough cough..."
Zhu Yawen was so startled that he almost choked on the shrimp meat he had just put in his mouth. He coughed violently a few times and spat out the shrimp meat, completely taken aback.
"Shh, are you alright?"
Seeing Zhu Yawen's pale face, Li Jiahang, who was sitting opposite him, couldn't help but ask.
Zhu Yawen waved his hand and said, "Cough cough, I'm fine. I just almost choked on some shrimp meat."
As he spoke, Zhu Yawen cleared his throat, then tried to calm himself down before asking Su Zhengnan:
"Well, Dr. Su, since you can write original songs, do you have any other songs on hand?"
"What? Didn't you say you didn't want to release an album? Why are you interested in the songs I wrote?"
Su Zhengnan looked at Zhu Yawen with a half-smile and asked.
"this......"
Zhu Yawen scratched his head, then took a deep breath and said:
"To tell you the truth, my girlfriend actually wants to sing, but she hasn't been able to find a suitable song."
"I heard from Sisi that Dr. Su can write songs, and they're all masterpieces, so I thought of you!"
Seeing Zhu Yawen's embarrassed expression, Su Zhengnan chuckled inwardly, but kept a straight face and said:
"Oh, I see. But I've been quite busy lately and haven't had much time to write new songs. I've given all the songs I wrote before to Xixi to sing."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yawen pleaded, "Please... Dr. Su, please help us!"
Su Zhengnan put on gloves, tore open the crab's leg in front of him, took a bite, and said slowly:
"How about this, when I have some free time I can write a few songs for your girlfriend, but about the copyright issues..."
Upon hearing that there was hope, Zhu Yawen quickly asked, "What about the copyright issue?"
Su Zhengnan smiled and said, "Your girlfriend can sing the song, but I won't sell the copyright. If your girlfriend makes it a hit, she'll need to give me 15% of the profits. How about that?"
"If you're willing to accept this condition, I can take some time to write a few songs for your girlfriend; if not, then forget it."
Upon hearing Su Zhengnan say this...
Li Jiahang and the others sitting to the side also stopped what they were doing and all looked at Zhu Yawen.
To be honest, this meal was originally just a get-together among friends.
Li Jiahang and the others had no idea beforehand that Zhu Yawen would call over someone they didn't know. Moreover, judging from the conversation, the person was not only a doctor but also a master who could write original songs.
The scene before them left Li Jiahang and his companions stunned, completely unable to comprehend what was happening.
Zhu Yawen was somewhat embarrassed and turned to look at his girlfriend.
Pan Yudan hesitated for a moment, then gritted her teeth and nodded, saying:
"If the song Dr. Su wrote for me becomes a hit, we're willing to agree to this condition."
"Hehe, okay!"
Su Zhengnan smiled and nodded, saying, "If you're willing, we can sign a contract after I finish writing the song. The copyright will still belong to me; you'll only have the right to sing it, and I'll need a share of the profits."
"Okay, no problem."
Seeing that his girlfriend had agreed, Zhu Yawen no longer hesitated and nodded in agreement.
"Alright, alright, we're all here to eat, let's not make the atmosphere so serious!"
Song Jia, who was standing to the side, said something with a smile, which instantly broke the serious atmosphere at the table. Everyone laughed and continued to eat the food in front of them.
Song Jia may not be considered conventionally beautiful, but her acting skills are undeniable.
In the future, she will not only play countless roles in both television and film, but also collaborate with Andy Lau in "Shock Wave", making her a versatile actress.
The meal wasn't eaten very quickly.
Su Zhengnan spent more than an hour eating the lobster and crab roe with scallions that he had ordered.
After dinner, Su Zhengnan said goodbye to Zhu Yawen and the others, and left the restaurant with a smile.
As for promising to write a song for Zhu Yawen's girlfriend, he'll just spend some time writing one or two later. After all, she just wants to sing, not release an album.
In fact, even if there are only one or two representative works.
For some actresses, this is a huge help in the industry.
