Chapter 37: Muscles show off in front of mother-in-law
At the beginning of November, Hou Hongliang arrived in Beijing.
Li Chen held a reception banquet for Hou Hongliang and his party at Kempinski.
At the banquet, everyone was very enthusiastic.
But when it comes to the first work, everyone has different opinions.
Some people say that the first film to be filmed should be a historical drama, thick and atmospheric, such as Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty.
Some people say that filming martial arts dramas will have a large audience.
It is also said that filming family ethics dramas is close to life, such as "Chinese Divorce", which became a hit this year.
Everyone has different opinions, but there is no result.
Hou Hongliang changed his mind and said with a smile: "How about we listen to Director Li's opinion?"
Hou Hongliang thought to himself, Li Chen is the employer.
If it were up to him to set the tone, he would probably have nothing to say.
Unexpectedly, Hou Hongliang kicked the ball to him.
Li Chen smiled and said: "I think what you all said is right, the important thing is the script."
Whether I said it or not, everyone knows the importance of the script.
Li Chen pondered for a moment, remembered a drama, and made up his mind instantly.
In the past life, it seems that a deputy director of the General Administration initiated this project after participating in a talk show in Shandong.
Now play the role of the sponsor yourself.
Li Chen smiled and said: "Why not choose history?"
Screenwriter Sun Jianye said: "History? Is that ancient history? Or modern history?"
The people who just suggested choosing a historical theme all smiled.
Li Chen touched his chin and considered it: "I have a suggestion, please listen to it."
Hou Hongliang smiled and said: "Just say what you want, you are the big boss , If you are not qualified to speak, who is?"
Everyone else laughed.
Li Chen nodded and stopped being polite.
"Most of you are from Shandong, and a few are from Beijing, Tianjin and Northeast China."
"Why can't we make a modern historical masterpiece based on the modern Shandong people's invasion of Guandong?"
"Crossing Guandong?" Before anyone else could say anything, screenwriter Gao Mantang said in surprise.
“Director Li’s words speak to my heart. My ancestors were the people who traveled to Guandong back then.”
“I grew up listening to the stories of people traveling to Guandong. To tell the truth, I have always had this feeling in my heart. A wish.”
"I just can write these stories. But hey!"
Gao Mantang didn't finish his words, but Li Chen understood what he meant.
This historical masterpiece is just the preliminary material preparation.
The old places to be visited, the old people to be interviewed, and the information collected cannot be completed in a day or two.
There must be huge financial support, otherwise the financial chain may be broken before the script is written.
Everyone else felt the same and were speechless for a while.
Hou Hongliang said with a smile: "What do you think of Li Chen's proposal? You don't need to consider the funds, that is what Li Chen should consider!"
Li Chen said with a smile: "Did Lao Hou say that? Wrong. If you think it’s feasible, then go for it.”
“The preparation time can be longer, so don’t worry about the money.”
“Don’t worry about the funds. Problems that can be solved with money are not problems. ”
"Perhaps when the script is written next year, our office building can be occupied, and we will announce this project at that time."
Everyone laughed, and felt at a loss as if the poor suddenly became rich. , they haven’t changed their respective roles for a while.
After the banquet was over, Li Chen and Hou Hongliang mentioned that it would be much more convenient for such a large-scale historical production to involve Yang Ma.
In fact, Li Chen doesn’t need to mention it, Hou Hongliang plans to do the same.
The next day, Li Chen went to check on the preliminary preparation progress of the painting.
For the special effects of this painting, Li Chen hired Sony, and the other teams are all top-notch in the industry.
Compared to Chen Jiashang’s Hong Kong team at that time, both professionalism and strength were not inferior.
The promotion of No Thieves and Kung Fu is in full swing, and the preparations for the painting are also proceeding in an orderly manner.
A rare break from the busy schedule, Li Chen has moved out of school and moved into his new home.
There are rumors about the scandal between Fan Bingtong and Wang Xuebing on the Internet, but not many people believe it.
There were also rumors that Li Bingtong was in love with Neptune Zhu Xiaotian, and the popularity overshadowed Fan Xiaopang's scandal for a while.
Li Chen looked at the gossip on the Internet and really admired the noses of these paparazzi.
What is lacking now is nothing more than a stone hammer.
A piece of inconspicuous news in the corner seems a bit eye-catching.
In 2002, Song Dazui bought the Porsche that Lai Changxing gave to Yang Meiren for more than 900,000 yuan.
Not long ago, a businessman and poet Liu Xingda took a photo of it for 500,000 yuan and gave it to Yang Meiren.
The media broke the news that Song Dazui and Liu Xingda are actually brothers.
Li Chen lamented that it was not the same family that refused to enter the same house.
Seeing this, Li Chen couldn't help but think of Miss Liu who returned to Beijing today.
I heard from Ms. Liu on the phone the day before yesterday that the cast of the Condor Goddess was disbanded on the spot today.
Some personnel went directly to Yandang Mountain to prepare for the next stage of filming.
Then the meaning is clear: I will return to Beijing the day after tomorrow, will you come to pick me up?
"Are you coming to pick up the plane tomorrow?"
Ms. Liu wore an everyday purple headband, took off the facial mask on her face and said with a smile.
"Yes, if I don't come I'm afraid someone will stab me behind my back."
"You know me," Miss Liu muttered.
The next day, the Condor crew.
"Yifei, why are you so happy and smiling from the corners of your eyes?" Huang Xiaoming said casually.
Liu Yifei prevaricated: "No, I'm going to Yandang Mountain soon, I can't wait."
Huang Xiaoming saw that the other party didn't want to say anything, so he didn't ask further questions.
I secretly guessed that Sony might have given the answer.
A few days ago, someone from Sony and Chen Jingfei went to the Condor crew to visit Liu Yifei, and everyone saw it. Liu Yifei did not hide her plan to enter the music industry from Huang Xiaoming.
When the plane landed at night, Liu Xiaoli took Ms. Liu out of the airport and got into a black Audi on the roadside.
The moment the car door opened, Huang Xiaoming not far away saw a strange yet familiar man in the driver's seat.
Sure enough
"Li Chen, please come to pick me up at the airport." Liu Xiaoli and Liu Yifei were sitting in the back row and said with a smile.
Li Chen did not look back and concentrated on driving: "Don't be so polite, auntie, I just have nothing to do today, so I am idle."
Through the rearview mirror, Li Chen saw Miss Liu's eyes slightly Flashing.
Just right? Is idle also idle?
Li Chen didn't go to see her and drove with peace of mind.
After sending the mother and daughter home, Liu Xiaoli got out of the driveway: "Thank you for your hard work, Li Chen. It's too late, so I won't keep you."
Liu Xiaoli was beside her, but Liu Yifei didn't say anything. Too many, so he just said: "Drive slowly on the road, and send me a message when you get to school."
Li Chen smiled, waved and left.
It was almost eleven o'clock when Liu Yifei finished cleaning up and took a shower. She saw a message from Li Chen on her phone: I'm home.
The time showed 21:05, Liu Yifei didn't think much about it.
The phone call came directly.
Li Chen's voice sounded a little confused.
Liu Yifei didn't care about him and said crisply: "Are you asleep?"
Li Chen shook his head and became more awake: "Miss Long, I'm not like you. A rope can be used at any time. Just sleep wherever you want.”
Liu Yifei chuckled: "Are you going home or going back to school?"
Li Chen said patiently: "Didn't I send you a message?"
Liu Yifei nodded: "Okay. , I’ll go to your house to see you tomorrow and see what your parents are like.”
In Liu Yifei’s opinion, Li Chen’s house is definitely incomparable to his own villa.
She was mainly curious about where he lived.
Li Chen closed his eyes and put the phone aside: "It's up to you, Miss Long, is there anything else?"
Beep beep, the phone was already busy.
Hold up as soon as he said it, as expected, it was Xiao Longnu's style. Li Chen wrapped his head in a quilt and fell asleep again.
Early the next morning, before Li Chen got up, the phone rang.
"Still sleeping, you lazy boy, get up." Miss Liu's voice on the phone sounded like she had a tweeter on.
Li Chen woke up immediately.
"Where is your home address? I'm getting ready to go out."
Li Chen sat up and said, "Do you really want to come over?"
"What? You're not welcome? Then Forget it!"
Li Chen smiled bitterly: "You borrowed this little mouth, Balabala, wait for me to pick you up!"
"What? Hey. How dare you hang up on me!" Liu Yifei said to herself angrily.
Liu Xiaoli saw her daughter mumbling and said with a smile: "What's wrong, they don't welcome you?"
"He dares! He said he would come to pick me up." Liu Yifei said proudly .
Liu Yifei thought she would have to wait for more than an hour. After all, Li Chen hadn't gotten up yet and was so far away.
Unexpectedly, less than fifteen minutes later, the phone rang.
"I'm at the door of your house. You come out or I go in."
"What?"
Seeing her daughter's surprised look, Liu Xiaoli turned around and said, "What's wrong?"< br>
Liu Yifei held the phone and hadn't turned around yet: "He, he said he was at the door."
After saying that, without putting on his coat, he opened the door and ran away. go out.
At the gate, Liu Yifei saw Li Chen holding a tall pure black Labrador and watching the dog quarrel at the gate with a smile.
The Labrador and his two puppies kept barking, but they were obviously more powerful.
Li Chen just ignored him annoyingly, letting the Labrador dog take advantage of others.
"Good morning, Miss Liu." Li Chen greeted with a smile.
Liu Yifei opened the door: "You, where did you come from? Whose dog is this?"
Li Chen said with a smile: "You are asking, I just got picked up from the bed by someone, where can I come from."
"Do you even need to ask whose family the dog belongs to? Don't you look at the dog? Who has the rope?”
“Tell me, what’s going on?” Miss Liu took over.
"Quickly let go, let go, it hurts!"
"Quickly say it!"
"I said, I said, let go first."
Miss Liu let go of a tender white palm on Li Chen's waist.
Li Chen shook his head angrily and said: "Who did you learn this move from?"
"Stop talking nonsense, talk quickly."
Li Chen said helplessly: "What's there to say? I just bought a house, so there's nothing to make a fuss about."
"Have you bought a house here?" Miss Liu said happily.
After entering the door, Miss Liu smiled happily: "Mom, Li Chen bought a house here."
Liu Xiaoli was shocked, the houses here are not cheap.
"When did I buy it, Li Chen? Why have I never heard you talk about it?" Liu Xiaoli said.
Li Chen smiled and said: "That's right, Auntie. The last time I came here, I felt that the environment was not bad."
"House prices are also moderate, and I am also optimistic about housing prices in Beijing."
"I bought a house to live in, and bought a few small apartments in the second ring road as investments."
“If you don’t live there by yourself in the future, you can also use it as the company’s employee benefits.”
Liu Xiaoli frowned, is the house price moderate? How many small apartments are there? As a benefit to employees?
Liu Xiaoli’s face has turned cloudy
I still want to pursue reading. I don’t know if I passed the first round of recommendations.
