"Pop!"

Wang Dalun opened a bottle of cold beer, poured two cups, rolled his eyes at the man sitting opposite him and said, "You are not interested enough. You don't even inform your brothers about marriage. What are you doing? You are not afraid of being wronged by the bride."

The man forced the man to take a full cup, sipped the beer foam that was about to overflow the glass, and said, "That's all. I'm afraid of trouble, and she's afraid of trouble, so I just make do with it. Everyone is so busy, so I won't bother everyone."

Wang Dalun glanced at him and said, "Then are you afraid of trouble when you make a movie?"

Lao Jia paused with the cup and raised his head. The head-up pattern on his forehead was obvious, and his unique desolate bend became even more powerful. Over the past year, he has grown much older, but in fact he is not yet thirty.

"Drink, drink!" The cup gently touched, and drank it all over.

Wang Dalun accompanied him to drink a drink. Seeing that he was in a bad mood, he asked carefully: "Is there still no news over there?"

Old Jia shook his head in depression.

"Then what are you going to do? Or wait for yourself?"

Old Jia lowered his head and said nothing. He picked up two bites of food, picked up the cup, found that the cup was empty, so he picked up the bottle, poured half a cup for himself, and then said, "I want to wait a little longer. By the way, when the day is a little cooler, are you free?"

"What are you doing?" Wang Dalun opened two more bottles of wine, handed him a bottle, and asked.

"I plan to take a sample for about ten minutes, give it to them, and make more efforts."

Wang Dalun asked in contemplation: "Where to shoot, how much time will it take?"

"I have been in Pingyao, and it takes about one week," said Lao Jia.

"Then I'm afraid I can't do it. I just took on a drama and will start the filming on the 15th next month. It probably will take two or three months. If you really want to start the filming there, I won't be able to catch up until November." Wang Dalun shook his head and said.

Lao Jia seemed to be mentally prepared, and did not force himself, nodded and said, "That's true, then I can only let Jingdong play a guest appearance."

Liang Jingdong was very fond of acting when filming "Xiao Wu". This time, Lao Jia was going to let him play the second male lead in the play.

"The heroine is the dance teacher last time?" Wang Dalun took out a cigarette, handed him one, and asked.

Old Jia gathered the lighter he reached over, lit the cigarette, and sprayed a sip of smoke. His originally bitter face finally felt a little brighter and said, "Yes, it's her, the dance teacher of Taiyuan Normal University. When I went to their place, I thought she was a student, but in the end she was a teacher. This girl was very proud, but she was quite aura."

"How is it?" Wang Dalun asked with interest. After all, he will play opposite her in the future. No male protagonist does not want the female protagonist to be beautiful, except for the special scene.

"It's okay!" Old Jia raised his head and smoked, with a rare smile on his lips, saying, "Anyway, I'm pretty, and this girl is quite tall, almost the same as yours. She stands well with you. I think if you are Cui Mingliang, then she should be Yin Ruijuan."

Wang Dalun was quite surprised. This was the first time he heard Lao Jia evaluate an actress with such a look. Moreover, the actress had not even filmed the scene. She couldn't help but quips: "You can't be home, don't forget that you are no longer qualified."

"Stop talking nonsense, what's going on here! Come on, drink!" Old Jia put out the cigarette butts, picked up the cup and rolled his eyes. However, listening to Wang Dalun's words, he suddenly felt a little regret in his heart.

That night, the two were drinking and talking about the movie. As for whether the filming could be started in autumn, Wang Dalun did not mention it, because although Lao Jia still had expectations for Beijing Film Studio, he had already started to prepare for both. "Stand Up" was the first movie in the true sense of Lao Jia's eyes, so he was very cautious, but no matter what, he still had to shoot it.

Now Wang Dalun can only hope that Director Xu's movie will not conflict with "Standard". As for the advertising, it was a very far-fetched thing. When he talked about "Standard" with his eyes lit up, he really couldn't bear to waste his talent on the advertising, a director full of literary and artistic feelings, so he simply didn't even mention it.

...

Sanlitun, Shangdao Coffee.

Although he made an appointment with someone for a while, Wang Dalun still had lunch and came to the agreed coffee shop in advance at 12:50.

In fact, it is better to call a restaurant than a cafe. When I pushed the door in, I smelled the aroma of coffee, but a restaurant question. Although the meal has just passed, there are still many customers in the store who are holding knives and forks and competing with the steak on the plate and eating high-end lunches.

The taste is fragrant and the food is delicious. Wang Dalun, who had just had lunch, couldn't help but secrete a lot of saliva from his mouth. This type of cafe is actually a new thing in the restaurant. The environment is good and the service is quite good. At least the waiters wearing maid outfits are quite pleasing to the eye.

"What do you want to order sir?" The waiter handed over the menu.

Wang Dalun took it and flipped it around casually. Except for the steaks that ordered 70 or 80 sets of steaks, they were just five yuan lunch boxes. If you change the wood, it would not look like wood, and plastic would not look like plastic boxes. It would cost 20 or 30 yuan at a time. Even tea was much more expensive than ordinary teahouses.

"Let's wait, let's talk about it later." Wang Dalun closed the menu and gave it to the waiter.

"Okay, sir." The waiter's quality is good, and he is still enthusiastic and polite. After that, he brought him a glass of lemon ice water. This thing is quite delicious. He also thought that when he went back, there were no lemons at the fruit stall, so it was good to buy two of them to slice them home and soak them in water.

When he arrived at the agreed moment, he didn't see anyone. After waiting for more than ten minutes, he drank two glasses of water. He couldn't help but feel impatient. He stopped at the door through the window and a taxi. Zeng Nianping got out of the car with an old man in his early fifties. It is estimated that this old man is the so-called godfather-level director Xu from Taiwan.

"Dalun, I'm sorry, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Zeng Nianping greeted Dalun from far away and explained: "The company has delayed some trouble, and there are traffic jams on the road!"

"It's okay, it's okay, I just arrived." Wang Dalun stood up and said politely.

"This is Mr. Xu Ligong, chairman of Taiwan Zongheng Film Company." Zeng Nianping continued to introduce.

"Xu...uh, Mr. Xu, hello!"

"Hello, hello. I'm still used to others calling me director." Xu Ligong shook hands with him enthusiastically. Moreover, his accent was different from ordinary Taiwanese accent, and he actually spoke a very fluent Beijing film.

After sitting down, Zeng Nianping held a menu and asked, "Dalun, have you eaten?"

"Uh, I've eaten it."

"We just finished the meeting and haven't had time to eat yet. Otherwise, you have a cup of coffee first?"

"No need, just drink tea." Wang Dalun waved his hand quickly. He was really unable to get used to drinking coffee.

Zeng Nianping helped him order a pot of Tieguanyin, then discussed with Xu Ligong, and ordered two boxed lunches called business sets.

Before the lunch box came up, Xu Ligong said straight to the point: "Dalun, I want to make a movie this time."

"What movie?"

Xu Ligong smiled and said, "It is a love film about two men and one woman in the 1930s. It has a relatively novel theme, with great love between men and women, and same-sex love. Dalun, I will tell you that the "East Palace and West Palace" I starred in "I am particularly impressed by you."

“…”

Wang Dalun has no prejudice against homosexuality, otherwise he would not have taken on "East Palace and West Palace" at the beginning, but for some reason, he always felt a little bored in his heart, and felt that he was wearing the label of a homosexual actor on his head.

However, he did not refuse immediately. On the one hand, he took into account Zeng Nianping's face, and on the other hand, he also thought about it. After all, he had not tried the Republic of China drama yet. He was a little curious and said, "Can I write it first?"

"The script is still in the revision stage, but I have an outline of the script here, you can first." Xu Ligong took out a few pieces of paper from his bag and handed it to him.

At this time, the lunch box they ordered happened to come up. While they were having a meal, Wang Dalun covered the outline.

As Xu Ligong said, the plot is indeed quite novel, mainly telling: In the 1930s, Xu Shaodong, a cellist who lived and studied in the United States since childhood, returned to his motherland to marry his fiancee Ying'er, who had never been masked but had always had letters.

However, after following Ying'er to the theater song "Night Run" and met Lin Chong, he was deeply attracted by the traditional singing style mentioned by Lin Chong, and Xu Shaodong's emotional balance began to tilt more to Lin Chong. The relationship between Shaodong and Ying'er and Lin Chong was quite subtle.

At first, he did not dare to face up to his relationship with Lin Chong, so because of a misunderstanding, he parted with Lin Chong on a snowy night. This separation was both a separation of life and a separation of death. Then rumors about him and Lin Chong came out. He could not withstand the pressure of the world and finally bid farewell to Ying'er and returned to the United States. However, from beginning to end, Ying'er was the one who understood and understood the relationship between Shaodong and Lin Chong the most.

After World War II, Ying'er went to the United States to find Xu Shaodong. When the two talked about Lin Chong's tragic experience in finding Xu Shaodong, Xu Shaodong realized that he would always leave a place for Ying'er and Lin Chong. One was his wife and the other was his lover...

He guessed that the role Xu Ligong was looking for him to play might be Xu Shaodong. Sure enough, Xu Ligong, who was sitting opposite him, finished his lunch box and wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said, "The name of this drama is "Night Breeze". I personally like this story very much, so I plan to direct it myself. I want to invite you to play Xu Shaodong."

To be honest, like Xu Ligong, he likes this story very much, but he is afraid of conflict with Lao Jia's "Stand Up". However, when he heard that the script of this drama had not been completed before, he couldn't help but ask with some expectation: "Director Xu, I wonder when your drama will start filming?"

Xu Ligong pondered for a moment and said, "The filming will start at the latest no later than the end of the year, because there are also scenes in the American Chinatown dramas. I plan to compete for the Spring Festival. This is the most lively time in the American Chinatown, which is very consistent with the plot."

There was still a conflict, Wang Dalun couldn't help but sigh secretly, and could only smile bitterly: "Director Xu, Director Zeng, I'm really embarrassed, I may not be able to take pictures..."

...

After leaving the cafe, Wang Dalun was very regretful just now, and he himself was quite regretful. The story is really good, and the two starring actors are quite well-known in both Taiwan and mainland China. Unfortunately, he has already agreed to Lao Jia, so he can't go back on his word.

Xu Ligong and Zeng Nianping had something to discuss, so he said goodbye on the excuse and received a call from Sister Ding as soon as he got in the car.

"Dalun, don't you think about it anymore? I heard from Director Zeng that this drama is a good show and may even win the Golden Horse Award, and the pay they offer is quite high."

"Sorry, Sister Ding. But Lao Jia's drama was agreed last year, and I really don't know how to promote it." Wang Dalun knew that the company had lost money after he promoted this drama, at least the commission was gone. But when Zhao Baogang signed the contract with him, he had already agreed, so he could still refuse it with confidence.

Sister Ding was silent for a while on the phone and couldn't help but feel regretful: "That's a pity." As she said that, she then said: "Oh, by the way, I received a call in the morning saying that I wanted to invite you to endorse the cabinet, and I told you that I'm sorry, is that going on?"

"This is the case. I happened to meet when I bought furniture yesterday. Did I agree?" Wang Dalun also remembered this and hurriedly said. The girl at home was still thinking about making money from advertising.

Sister Ding said: "The talk was made. I opened an endorsement price of 120,000 yuan a year. Unexpectedly, the other party agreed with a sip of wine and asked me your mobile phone number. I was afraid that this matter would be fake, so I didn't give him your phone number and asked him to come and sign the contract tomorrow."

Boss Yao really doesn't know the market. With his current endorsement value, it's only 70,800 yuan per year at most, no more than 100,000 yuan. Sister Ding offered 120,000 yuan. The fraction was clearly his counterpart. Unexpectedly, he really agreed immediately.

"This may be true. The boss wants to find a celebrity, but he can't find a suitable one for a while and has no way to go. He happened to meet me yesterday and wanted to talk to me about endorsement, so I gave him your phone number."

Sister Ding smiled and said, "I said, how could this person have my phone number? That's OK, then I'll wait for him to come and sign the contract tomorrow."

After hanging up Sister Ding’s phone number, he thought about it, took out the business card that Boss Yao stuffed him yesterday from his pocket, and dialed the mobile phone number on it.

"Boss Yao, I am Wang Dalun. Are you sure you want to ask me to endorse and shoot an advertisement?" He also wanted to make a final decision.

"That's right, that's right. Mr. Wang, I have already negotiated with your agent in the morning. It's no problem to have 120,000 yuan a year. We have made an appointment and will sign the contract tomorrow. Mr. Wang, and I have to ask you for the advertisements. At the price we agreed yesterday, in addition to the endorsement fee of 120,000 yuan, there are 180,000 yuan. You must help." After receiving Wang Dalun's call, Boss Yao was very surprised and finally begged.

"Okay, then I'll ask you about this."
