Chapter 80 Envy, Bowl Girl
The day after landing in Yanjing, Chen Jingyuan brought a group from Lan Ke Studio to meet with director Li Muge.
Li Mugo had previously served as the assistant director on "East Palace," so he wasn't unfamiliar with the project.
"Director Li, you should scold Coco and Bai Lu if you need to."
"If the acting is bad, then we should reshoot it."
Liu Yulan, head of Lan Ke Studio, and director Li Muge were invited to the event.
This was Liu Yulan's request, and Chen Jingyuan did not refuse.
Anyway, Li Muge knows Liu Yulan's identity, so he definitely won't refuse to give her face.
Bai Lu and Chen Keke both pretended to be well-behaved when facing Director Li.
It felt a bit like a student meeting a teacher, which Chen Jingyuan found quite interesting.
"Sister Liu, don't worry."
"For campus youth films, as long as the actor plays himself, there's absolutely no problem."
Li Muge said very politely, "A director's emotional intelligence is definitely not a problem."
Director Wu Jinyuan accepted the female lead's arrangement, so it goes without saying that he did as well.
As long as it's not too outrageous, it can still be adjusted during the shooting process.
Moreover, aside from the female lead and the third female lead, Chen Jingyuan made all the decisions for the rest.
The range of choices has increased significantly!
After meeting with Li Muge, Chen Jingyuan went to Liu Yang's place the next day to finalize the script.
"Let's direct according to this script."
After spending half an hour reading the script, Chen Jingyuan nodded under Liu Yang's anxious gaze and said...
Liu Yang was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief; the project couldn't proceed if the script wasn't up to par.
"By the way, could you arrange a role for Jiaxing artist Li Xirui?"
Chen Jingyuan suddenly remembered something and gave instructions.
This is what Dilraba told him after some deliberation, to see if he could arrange a role for her, but she didn't insist.
Dilraba has a good relationship with all the other artists signed with Jaywalk Studio, but her looks are appealing regardless of gender.
Both Bai Lu and Chen Keke were involved in the project "Unrequited Love: Orange Born in Huainan".
It's really difficult to arrange Li Xirui, so we'll put her in the "Day and Night" program.
"Mr. Chen, would you be suitable for the role of Zhou Shutong?"
After a brief moment of thought, Liu Yang immediately spoke up.
"Day and Night" is a drama with two male leads, and the female characters have relatively few storylines.
However, Zhou Shutong can barely be considered the female lead, at least in terms of screen time.
"That's fine!"
After thinking for a moment, Chen Jingyuan did not refute.
Although the web series "Day and Night" was indeed very successful, apart from Pan Yueming, the other actors who played the roles before the rebirth didn't really have much popularity.
If Li Xirui can become famous by playing the leading role, that would be a testament to her talent.
As for the male lead, Chen Jingyuan still prefers Pan Yueming, the original actor who played the role.
Even without any vested interests, he is still willing to choose candidates who have already proven successful.
As early as last year, Pan Yueming won the first instance of the defamation case against Dong Jie's agent.
The problems caused by the divorce have already been reversed.
After determining the main personnel, Liu Yang quickly sought out Xu Ang, the director of "Forensic Doctor Qin Ming," to assemble the production team.
Jiali Xirui just received a call from the top actor inviting her to a film crew, and it was obvious at a glance that it was fake.
Because she was invited to play the lead role?! How could that be possible?!
She immediately blocked the phone number.
Since signing with Jaywalk Studio, she has played five or six supporting roles, but only one as the third female lead.
How could any production team possibly invite her to play the female lead?!
[@Li Xirui, haven't you received the invitation from the "Day and Night" production team to play the female lead?]
Suddenly, a mention from Dilraba caused an uproar in the Jaywalk artist chat group.
What?! Playing the female lead?!
[Was this a role that Dilraba helped find?]
The entire Jaywalk Studio crowd instantly erupted in excitement, while Li Xirui was slow to realize what was happening.
I quickly found the phone number I had previously blocked and called it back!
After apologizing and learning the details, I realized that they really wanted me to play the female lead.
Although it's a story with two male leads, the female lead also has a significant amount of screen time.
Moreover, it was a project under Tianhe Studio, so Li Xirui immediately realized that it must have come from Dilraba's help.
【Baba, I love you!】
Li Xirui was so excited that she sent a message in the chat group to express her feelings.
This is the female lead; she's been playing supporting roles since her debut in 11, almost 16 years now.
Finally, I get a chance to play the female lead!
Regardless of whether he becomes famous or not, his gratitude towards Dilraba is beyond words.
This confession proved everything, making countless artists at Jaywalk Studio envious.
If there were only one example, that would be fine, but there are quite a few key examples.
First up is Zhang Yunlong. Since starring in "Hello, Old Times" thanks to Dilraba Dilmurat, his career has taken off.
Although he didn't play the lead role, the second male lead was still a very important character.
The show "Chinese Restaurant," which has only been airing for a short time, has already become a hot topic.
It may not be as popular as national variety shows, but it is definitely a hit variety show.
The boost to popularity was significant, and Zhang Yunlong experienced a small surge in popularity.
Furthermore, Li Xirui, who previously played supporting roles and had little fame, is now able to play the leading lady.
Not to mention Jaywalk artists, many artists would probably be envious.
Anyone can suck up to someone's leg, they can do it too!
A few days later, at the premiere of "The Witness" in Yanjing.
This is a film primarily invested in by Jaywalk Studio, in which Li Xirui plays the role of junior police cadet Ya Nan.
"Sister Dilraba, thank you so much."
As soon as Li Xirui arrived, she went to Dilraba Dilmurat to express her gratitude in person.
Dilraba was on set before, otherwise she would have come to visit her long ago.
"Xirui, I only mentioned it briefly."
"I didn't expect to be given a female lead role."
Dilraba spoke slowly, admitting that she herself was somewhat surprised.
It can only be said that Li Xirui just happened to be in the right place at the right time, and Chen Jingyuan just happened to have a project that was suitable for him.
Of course, Dilraba felt a lot of sweetness in her heart because of Chen Jingyuan's attention to her.
If Chen Jingyuan hadn't valued her, he probably wouldn't even know who Li Xirui was.
All the artists from Jaywalk Studio flocked to Dilraba's side, eager to get closer to her.
While Jiaxing is a good company, its resources are indeed questionable.
In some respects, Jaywalk Studio does have a bit too many signed artists.
Yang Mi didn't show any other emotions when she saw the artists from Jaywalk Studio gathered around Dilraba; instead, she offered a lot of encouragement.
"Chen Jingyuan will definitely have more resources after being promoted to vice president of Tencent Penguin Pictures."
"Even if Jaywalk artists could try to please Dilraba a little more, they might get more significant roles."
Yang Mi's current goal is to fulfill the performance guarantee; as long as Jiaxing artists step forward, they can share some of the pressure.
Lacking its own resources, it could only start by leveraging its relationship with Dilraba.
After quickly entering the venue, Dilraba's seat was right behind Yang Mi's.
"Baba, is that person in Yanjing?!"
"I'd like to extend my thanks."
Taking advantage of a brief moment of free time, Yang Mi turned her head and whispered to Dilraba.
Zhang Yunlong rose to fame through the show "Chinese Restaurant" and became another well-known artist under Jaywalk Studio.
She couldn't possibly not even express her gratitude; that simply wouldn't make sense.
Even with the connection to Dilraba, gratitude is still necessary. Relationships are built up little by little. "I'm in Tianjin, busy with the new 'Unrequited Love: Orange Blossoms in Huainan' project."
Reba shook her head and said, her words tinged with disappointment.
She originally planned to return to Yanjing to meet Chen Jingyuan, but unfortunately, it was not a good time.
Yang Mi looked regretful but didn't dwell on it too much, knowing there would be other opportunities in the future.
In addition, this is the premiere of a film invested by Jaywalk Studio, so it's not appropriate to whisper anything!
Chen Jingyuan from Tianjin looked at the several photos that Reba had sent to his phone.
Dilraba wore a black lace-trimmed dress, with an overall style that leaned towards simplicity and elegance.
In addition to individual photos, there are also group photos, such as a photo of him and Yang Mi sitting together.
In addition, Dilraba also talked about her latest film, "Pride and Prejudice".
This is a movie that Jaywalk Studio primarily invested in!
Compared to television series production, film production is much faster.
Since Yang Mi participated in Tiny Times, she has really learned how to operate a fan economy.
As long as you control the costs and mobilize some fans, you basically won't lose money.
At least in today's era of internet traffic, this approach still works.
After giving Dilraba a brief reply, Chen Jingyuan turned his attention to the crew of "Unrequited Love".
The entire crew has been in Tianjin for three days and has been studying the script.
Filming is scheduled to begin tomorrow, and Bai Lu and Chen Keke are currently immersed in their roles from the script.
So far, the biggest star in the cast should be Bai Lu.
Although the male lead, Liu Haoran, starred in "Detective Chinatown," the film will not be released until the New Year's Day holiday.
Compared to Zhang Xincheng, who was unlucky, Liu Haoran, although he enrolled at the Central Academy of Drama this year, was much luckier.
He debuted in his first year of high school and was signed by Chen Sicheng.
Chen Sicheng graduated from the 99 acting class of the Central Academy of Drama, so in terms of connections, he is much more reliable than Tianyu.
After inviting Liu Hao, the formalities were completed in a short time.
"Bai Lu, we've got an endorsement offer coming our way!"
When it was time for dinner, Jiang Qiumei delivered some news.
This news surprised Bai Lu, who seemed not to have expected to get an endorsement so soon.
Since the release of "Chinese Restaurant", Bai Lu's Weibo followers have exceeded one million.
Some memes are just too mesmerizing. For example, Bai Lu leaning against a door or window eating a banana looks exactly like Jerry eating cheese.
Bai Lu has become more popular than expected, and it's very likely that her fan base will surpass two million after "Chinese Restaurant" airs.
This number of fans is already quite good; many artists may not have this many fans even after debuting for a long time.
Most importantly, Bailu got a nickname: Bowl Girl!
My hard work and diligence at the Chinese restaurant paid off; at least I have a label that leaves an impression.
"Sister Jiang, what endorsement?!"
Bai Lu couldn't help but ask hurriedly, as this was her first endorsement.
"Jade Spring bowls and basins, one million a year!"
"I've already checked, it's an established brand, there's absolutely no problem."
Jiang Qiumei replied that she was also taken aback when she first learned that the brand had approached her.
However, I quickly thought of the labels attached to Bai Lu, and that made sense.
"Little Bai, so much money!"
Chen Keke, standing to the side, couldn't help but brighten up and spoke up.
Bai Lu did not make a decision immediately, but instead turned her gaze to Chen Jingyuan, clearly wanting to hear his opinion.
Unbeknownst to her, Bai Lu had developed a kind of trust in Chen Jingyuan.
"Sign the contract if you want."
Chen Jingyuan did not stop him, saying that established brands still offer guarantees.
"Then let's sign the contract!"
Bai Lu's eyes hardened as she spoke.
According to her contract with the studio, she should receive 300,000 yuan for this endorsement.
This is no small sum; in the first half of the year, she was still eating instant noodles in her rented apartment.
"Wait a minute, Xiaobai is the spokesperson, does that mean the studio made money?"
Chen Keke finally remembered something!
"Yes!"
Jiang Qiumei answered without hesitation.
When she was with Enlight Media, she was offered many endorsements, but she didn't care about the amount of money involved.
The problem is that this is Lanco Studio's first endorsement, which is a successful start.
After receiving the accurate answer, both Chen Keke and Liu Yulan, who was listening nearby, were quite surprised.
They still know how to do the math and how much money the studio can make this time.
