Chapter 227 – It’s Definitely Not Going To Happen

It has been more than ten year since Chen Fei’er made her debut. She was no longer a naive girl.

As a singer, her talent was extremely good, and it was unknown how many fans she has conquered with her heavenly voice.

In addition to having a unique voice that countless singers dreamed of, Chen Fei’er’s appearance was also first-class. A natural beauty that has never gone under the knife1. She was also regarded as the number one beauty in the pop music world.

But as an artist, she has better luck.

Since her debut at the age of 15, Chen Fei’er’s stardom could be described as smooth. Although there were twists and turns in her life, there was no danger. Nowadays, not many people could shake her position in the music world.

There was no doubt that it would be extremely difficult to impress such a beautiful girl.

First of all, Chen Fei’er wasn’t short of money. There was a rumor in the circle that a certain tycoon spent unknown amount of money to raise her, but the fact proved that it was a completely malicious slander to fabricate a rumor, because as early as few years ago, she earned an annual endorsement fee of nearly 100 million yuan. Moreover, she has her own studio, so she didn’t need to share with an agency. There was no shortage of money at all.

Moreover, Chen Fei’er also has a private investment team, which has made considerable gains in investment. She was truly a rich woman.

Using money to hit Chen Fei’er, that’s a joke!

As for fame, there was no need to say more. There were only a handful of people who have higher position than her in the circle.

Perhaps it was too cold being in a high place2, no man has ever been able to make Chen Fei’er really open her heart. Those so-called rumors that were spread were nothing more than hype of others or the media.

However, Lu Chen, with a song, knocked on her closed heart, reminding her of the original innocent time.

“I want to take you everywhere, travel all over the world, admiring it all, without troubles, without sadness, being free and cheerful. Throw away your sorrows and your grief, together we’ll set off on a journey......”

The simple but sincere lyrics, under Lu Chen’s guitar playing and singing, resonated with her soul.

And a touch of affection.

After Lu Chen finished singing, Chen Fei’er leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.

It took a long time. Then she said, “You gave me this song, so you can only sing it to me from now on, okay?”

Lu Chen smiled and said, “I’m glad you like it.”

Chen Fei’er smiled, turned her head and kissed Lu Chen on the cheek: “Thank you.”

Lu Chen said, “It’s very late. Let me take you back.”

He was afraid of being teased by this Heavenly Queen elder sister again, and that he couldn’t control his beastly nature then.

At that time, it was hard to say whether he was a beast or worse than a beast.

Chen Fei’er angrily said, “What? Do you want me to leave so much?”

Lu Chen immediately got angry and hugged her with open arms: “Then stay with me here tonight!”

Who is afraid of who?

Chen Fei’er smiled. She shrank back and said, “Sister Zhang, they are waiting for me downstairs. You should also go home.”

After the frolicking, Lu Chen sent her downstairs.

After watching Chen Fei’er get in the car and leave, he also went back to his residence.

Tonight was undoubtedly a wonderful night for Lu Chen, and there was no doubt that the relationship between him and Chen Fei’er has taken a big step forward.

Chen Fei’er’s work efficiency was also extremely high, and she soon introduced a film and television production company to Lu Chen.

This film and television production company was called Baolong Pictures. It was well-known in China. It has shot many excellent films and TV dramas such as “Jinghua Fengyun”, “Clear Sky”, “Big Business” and so on. It has made a lot of artists famous.

The person who contacted Lu Chen was Zhu Minghe, the deputy manager of Baolong Pictures’ Film and Television Production Department.

The place where the two men met was in the avant-garde coffee shop in the New Age Art Park in Beijing.

The New Age Art Park in Beijing was home to a large number of well-known domestic film, television, music, literature and art production units, as well as thousands of large and small companies and studios. It was considered a place where talents and culture gathered.

The headquarters of Flying Stone Records was in the New Age Art Park, as was Baolong Pictures.

The avant-garde coffee shop was the most popular place in the art park for artists. It offered cheap but delicious coffee and pastries, as well as free Wi-Fi. One could sit all day with a cup of coffee and there would be no waiter coming to drive people away.

Because of the excellent atmosphere, many people in the park like to negotiate business with customers here.

Zhu Minghe was a middle-aged man with a petty bourgeoisie style. He was in charge of screenplay work in Baolong Pictures. Although the position wasn’t high, the authority wasn’t small.

Under normal circumstances, even if Lu Chen was a little famous in the circle, it was not easy to hand over the screenplay directly to him. Because pop music and film and television circles were two relatively independent circles.

Zhu Minghe didn’t need to sell Lu Chen’s account.

Under normal circumstances, when a writer sends in the script, his editors review it first.

Only the manuscript that has passed the preliminary review would be in his hands.

To be able to invite Zhu Minghe out, Chen Fei’er asked a friend to help.

Chen Fei’er also has no relations with Baolong Pictures. It was purely based on the strength of the latter.

Zhu Minghe was about 40 years old. He was wearing glasses and came with a female secretary.

“Hello!” “Hello!”

Both parties shook hands, exchanged pleasantries, and then perfunctorily said ‘I have been looking forward to meeting you’.

For Lu Chen, Zhu Minghe’s attitude was a little light in politeness.

Sitting in his position, he has met many famous stars. Lu Chen was nothing more than a rookie singer. He didn’t have enough clout for him to treat him with great respect.

In contrast, his female secretary’s interest in Lu Chen was much greater.

After sitting down, the deputy manager of Baolong Pictures asked bluntly, “Mr. Lu Chen, do you have a screenplay that you want to co-produce with our company?”

“Yes!”

Lu Chen nodded and passed the outline of the script that he had already prepared. “Manager Zhu, this is a screenplay I have written by myself, please give me some advice.”

In addition to the outline, he has completed the first four episodes of “Autumn in My Heart”, all of which have been brought here today, but there was no need to rush to hand over the official screenplay.

First of all, Zhu Minghe has to take a fancy to this story, and then they could discuss it in detail later.

After all, this wasn’t a commissioned production. It required in-depth cooperation and joint investment with the other party.

Lu Chen couldn’t manage it by himself.

So, in front of Zhu Minghe, Lu Chen put his posture very straight, neither humble nor arrogant.

He was still a newcomer among the newcomers in this circle.

The water in the film and television circle was much deeper than that in pop music.

Zhu Minghe took the manuscript and said with a smile, “OK, I’ll take a look at it first.”

For Lu Chen’s attitude, he was still very satisfied, as the former showed enough respect. There were not many newcomers that didn’t became arrogant after they became famous and knew how to behave properly.

This made Zhu Minghe a little interested in this manuscript.

At present, Baolong Pictures was also looking for a good book. Some time ago, it also bought the film and television rights of two popular online novels at a high price. It was ready to make a heavy attack in the next two years, fighting for more share and profits in the increasingly hot film and TV drama market.

As the deputy manager of the film and television production department, Zhu Minghe, who was in charge of reviewing the screenplays, was under a lot of pressure.

Although he wasn’t the final decision maker, he was jointly and severally liable for missing a good screenplay or approving a bad screenplay.

Zhu Minghe began to read the outline of Lu Chen’s story.

Whether it was a novel or a screenplay, the outline of the story was very important.

Experienced people could use the outline to gauge the strength of the writer, see whether the story has the potential to be a blockbuster, and even how much budget it would take to shoot it.

He looked at it very seriously.

But looking at it, Zhu Minghe furrowed his brows, then he furrowed his brows deeper and deeper, until it twisted into the word “川”.

He was obviously torn inside.

Lu Chen couldn’t help but get a little nervous, and he felt that the coffee in his mouth became very bitter.

The expression of the other party wasn’t an optimistic look!

Zhu Minghe spent about 10 minutes reading the outline. He put down the manuscript and asked in a deep voice, “Mr. Lu Chen, how are you going to cooperate with our company for this TV series?”

Lu Chen had thought about this for a long time. He replied without hesitation, “Manager Zhu, I hope that we can make a joint investment. If we can introduce third-party investment, we can also discuss the specific terms of investment in detail.”

“As for the production, I will play the leading actor myself, and there are suitable candidates for the leading actress and director. Other supporting roles can be recommended by your company or have a public audition!”

Listening to the first part of what he said, Zhu Minghe’s expression didn’t change, but after hearing the latter part, the color in his face changed slightly.

It was normal to share risks and profits in joint venture shooting and production. After all, Lu Chen was not an ordinary screenwriter, and couple with his relationship with the person who asked for the favor, it didn’t matter if he got involved in it.

But not only did he want to play the leading actor, but even the director and the leading actress were given...

What did he regard Baolong Pictures as?

A grassroots theatrical troupe?

Zhu Minghe was resentful in his heart, and his previous favorable impression of Lu Chen immediately disappeared.

He didn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth!3

Of course, Zhu Minghe has good control of his emotion. Even if he was upset, he would not directly get angry.

After thinking for a while, he said politely, “Mr. Lu Chen, you were recommended by Sister Li, and we are all friends. I will speak openly and sincerely. I hope you don’t mind.”

Lu Chen said with a smile, “Go ahead, I can accept any opinion.”

“Good!”

Zhu Minghe said with a smile: “In fact, the content of the story you wrote is OK, but the plot, especially the ending, is not in line with the trend. The audience will not like it and must be changed.”

“Moreover, in terms of directors and leading actors and actresses, we have our own considerations and cannot make decisions unilaterally.”

“Furthermore, in terms of investment, the proportion of our company’s contribution will not be very high, so I hope you can find a third party.”

“And...”

Lu Chen listened with a smile on his face but sighed secretly in his heart.

Baolong Pictures, it was definitely not going to happen!
