Rebirth of Gold Star Broker

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a plane landed at Shudian Airport.

A middle-aged man walked out of the airport. He was dressed very casually, with jeans and a white shirt, a sun hat on his head, and a pair of sunglasses on his face.

The luggage is very simple, just a shoulder bag, nothing else.

After leaving the airport, I got into a car that had been parked outside the airport long ago.

After getting into the car, he took off his hat and sunglasses.

His hair is a little white, cut very short, and his skin is dark. At first glance, he looks more like an old farmer.

But it is such a middle-aged man who looks like an old farmer, but he is Li Chaoxian, one of the best TV drama directors in this country.

Winner of Best TV Drama Director for two consecutive times.

"Director Li, you have had a hard journey." A young man was sitting in the passenger seat of the car.

"It's not hard, it's just an hour's flight."

"Director Hou called me just now and said that he has returned from the set and has arrived at Tianranju. Let's go to Tianranju to have a meal first and cleanse you up."

Li Chaoxian smiled and shook his head: "This old Hou has been friends for decades, and he is still so polite."

The car drove from the airport all the way to the outskirts of the city.

We stopped in front of a very quaint yet elegant courtyard on the outskirts of the city.

There is a sign hanging on the outside door of this courtyard: Tianranju.

Tianranju is a well-known private kitchen in Shudian Film City. The owner's craftsmanship comes from the palace cuisine in the past. After cooperating with a catering group, it has become high-end.

Those who can come here to eat are either rich or expensive, and a meal costs at least [-] to [-].

If the chef is to do the cooking himself, the price will be even higher.

After entering Tianranju, you can see the lush and lush courtyard. The southern garden style makes people return to ancient times.

The young man walked Li Chaoxian through a long corridor to a box at the back.

There were several people sitting in the box.

He tapped lightly on the door that was already open.

"Director Hou, Director Li is here."

A little old man with gray hair and a short stature sitting in the middle of the box stood up and greeted him directly.

The two held their hands tightly together.

"Brother Li, I'm looking forward to you."

"Brother Hou, I'm here. It's been three or four years since the last time we parted. I just happened to be doing business in a nearby city. I knew you were filming in Shudian, so I came here to catch up with my brother."

"Since it's reminiscing about the old days, let's have a few drinks. Look... I've brought out all the wine I've been collecting for more than ten years, and I'm just waiting for you."

Li Chaoxian smiled and said, "Then have a few drinks."

"Just wait for your words, we won't return tonight until we're drunk."

"No drunk, no return."

After the two sat down at the circular revolving dining table, they began to eat and drink.

It was originally a very common meal with friends to reminisce about the old days.

During this period, several waiters came in to serve food and clear the table.

One of the waiters was very young and tall, and helped Li Chaoxian clean up the bones and crab shells on the table.

Li Chaoxian said thank you out of politeness.

This is his habit.

The waiter smiled and said something impolite.

When the waiter left, Li Chaoxian took a few more casual glances, thinking that this young man looked familiar.

But can't remember where I saw it.

But then all his concentration was on reminiscing about the past with this big brother Hou.

This Hou Daoxian was earlier than Li Chaoxian. Before Li Chaoxian became popular, he worked as an assistant director in Director Hou's crew for more than ten years.

Later, there was a good script that needed to be shot, but director Hou didn't have time, so he recommended Li Chaoxian to try it.

As a result, the first play became popular.

Since then, Li Chaoxian has started to set up his own crew to work alone.

Director Hou was also very supportive. There were a few times when he encountered some troubles, and Director Hou helped out.

It can be said that Hou Dao is kind to Li Chaoxian.

After drinking for three rounds, the dishes on the wine table were almost eaten, and the bottles of wine brought by Director Hou also bottomed out.

The faces of everyone at the wine table were a little flushed from drinking.

The last of these is of course book Hou Dao.

He blushed, took Li Chaoxian's hand, and said: "Brother Li, I started in the industry and officially filmed my own movie at the age of 25. After careful calculation, I have been in this industry for more than 40 years, and I have filmed many movies. You have brought out a lot of people, but you are the only one who has really made a human appearance."

Li Chaoxian smiled and said: "Brother, I have never forgotten your kindness to me, it's just that I'm out filming on weekdays, and I can't even go home a few times throughout the year, there is nothing we can do about it.

No, I know you're filming in Shudian, so it's not too far away, so I booked a ticket and came directly over here. "

Director Hou smiled and said, "I knew you were my good brother."

He changed the subject and said, "Brother, you should know that I have stopped taking roles recently. I am getting older, and this kind of high-intensity work is too much for me."

"Brother, you have been filming for so many years and worked hard for so many years, it's time to rest."

"My friend and I set up a film and television drama investment company, and we plan to specialize in the film and television drama industry. From the front-line crew to the behind-the-scenes film and television drama investment, we will inevitably deal with some bosses. One of the bosses asked me to do something. There's a young man who wants you to meet him."

Before Li Chaoxian could speak, the director Hou said again: "Of course, I don't care if I want to see you or not. I don't care what you talked about when you met. I just promise to introduce him. I don't know if my brother would like to do this little favor." .”

Director Hou has already talked about this point, and Li Chaoxian has no reason to refuse.

His expression froze for a moment, he smiled again, and said, "Since my brother said it, let's meet once we meet."

Director Hou saw that Li Chaoxian agreed, and everyone else at the dinner table also left.

When Li Chaoxian saw this battle, he knew that the opponent had come prepared.

Then, a young man came in from outside the door. He was about 24 or [-] years old, wearing a casual shirt, and he couldn't tell what he was doing.

As soon as the young man came in, he greeted Li Chaoxian: "Director Li, hello, it's the first time we meet, my name is Lin Feng, Shuangmu Lin, Feng from Maple Leaf."

Li Chaoxian squinted at Lin Feng and asked, "You want to see me? I don't know what you want from me?"

"That's right. I'm actor Xiao Yibo's manager. I want to talk to you, see if I can give Xiao Yibo a chance to audition."

When Li Chaoxian heard Xiao Yibo's name, his face suddenly became a little stern.

"Hmph, those traffic stars are also worthy to play my TV series? I only have two words, don't think about it."

After finishing speaking, Li Chaoxian turned his head aside and said, "Please go back, there is no need to talk about this matter."

Lin Feng had expected that Li Chaoxian would not be so persuasive, but he did not expect the other party's attitude to be so firm.

"Director Li, the ancients say that people should treat each other with admiration for three days. I don't think we should look at things with old eyes. Besides, when you met Xiao Yibo just now, wasn't it pretty good?"

"See Xiao Yibo?" Li Chaoxian was full of doubts, and asked, "When did I meet Xiao Yibo?"

With a smile on his face, Lin Feng said to the outside: "Come in."

Then, a young man in a white shirt with army green trousers tucked into his trousers and a pair of thick glasses came in from outside.

After the young man walked in, he said hello to Li Chaoxian timidly: "Li...Director Li."

谷龛

"It's you?"

Li Chaoxian recognized it.

This young man was the waiter who cleaned the bones on the table for him just now, and there was a brief exchange between the two.

At that time, he just felt that this young man looked familiar, but now he understands everything.

This waiter is Xiao Yibo.

Lin Feng gave Xiao Yibo a look.

Xiao Yibo quickly said: "Director Li, I really want to act in your play, please give me a chance to audition."

His tone was earnest.

Director Li didn't respond directly, but looked directly at Xiao Yibo with sharp eyes. ,

The director's eyes seem to have blades hidden in them.

He smiled and asked: "Let me ask you, why do you act in my film? Based on your popularity? Based on your traffic? Or based on your fans. I'm sorry, the film I want is an actor, Not a traffic star."

Xiao Yibo was a little disappointed by Li Chaoxian's words.

At this time, Lin Feng next to him smiled and said: "Director Li, I think you seem to be a little biased. I think Xiao Yibo is a very suitable actor for your TV series."

As soon as these words came out, Li Chaoxian's sharp eyes fell on Lin Feng.

He narrowed his eyes to look at Lin Feng.

"What did you say just now, do you dare to say it again?"

Director Li is like a tyrant on the set, no one dares to disobey him.

It can be said to be the same.

Now a young man actually said that he was prejudiced.

The atmosphere in the private room instantly became tense.

Director Hou saw that the atmosphere was not right, he quickly poured wine into Li Chaoxian's cup with a smile, and said, "Brother Li, don't be as knowledgeable as young people. These young people are ignorant, so we don't care about it. Let's just forget that this person is not suitable."

He gave Lin Feng a look: "You go down first."

Lin Feng didn't move a step.

He stood there, motionless.

He said, "Director Li, please allow me to finish speaking.

I read your script "Soul of the Army", and it is really a good script. It tells the story of two young people growing up from recruits to pillars of the army step by step in the barracks. I think it can impress people. , is a spirit.

Even though he clearly knows that he is a backward soldier in the team, he still does not give up and pursues the spirit of progress.

Look at Xiao Yibo's clothes. I took him to the farmer's market today to buy his clothes. His hair was shaved by an uncle at the farmer's market for five yuan. "

Having said that, Lin Feng smiled.

He saw that the expression on Li Chaoxian's face softened a lot.

Lin Feng continued: "Xiao Yibo was originally a traffic star, a little fresh meat. To put it bluntly, he relied on his good-looking skin to earn a living in the entertainment industry. Now he has given up his job in the entertainment industry in order to win an audition. The most valuable thing in the world, cutting your most fashionable hairstyle into a rustic crew cut, while wearing clothes that belong to the era. It’s not just a change of look, it’s a gamble.”

"But he can't act at all. What I want is an actor, do you understand?"

When Lin Feng heard Li Chaoxian's words, he saw an opportunity.

"Director Li, I think as far as your film is concerned, it's Xiao Yibo's advantage that he can't act."

Li Chaoxian laughed when he heard what Lin Feng said: "It's an advantage if you don't know how to act. What's the reason for that?"

"If you don't know how to act, what is reflected is more real. If an actor is too good at acting, the taste of acting in this drama will be too heavy. The taste of acting will affect the texture of this drama. I saw you The actors used in the two TV series I made before are all third- and fourth-tier actors, some of whom have only made guest appearances in some TV series, and some have even never acted in a drama.

This is also the biggest reason why your two TV series can achieve both ratings and word of mouth. "

Lin Feng turned his head to look at Xiao Yibo, and said, "Director Li, look at Xiao Yibo now, both in terms of appearance and temperament, he is very suitable for the role of Xu Changyuan in your script. The image is pure and white, his personality is bookish, and he is also a bit silly. I think Xiao Yibo's image and temperament can support this role.

Since the role of Xu Changyuan grew after joining the team, if Xiao Yibo were to play this role, the growth of the character and the transformation of the character would appear more real, because this is not just the growth of the character in filming , is also an idol star, the process of becoming a real actor under your training. "

At the end, Lin Feng lost no time in patting Li Chaoxian's flattery.

Li Chaoxian looked at Lin Feng and Xiao Yibo, and suddenly said.

"Your name is Lin Feng?"

Lin Feng didn't know why Li Chaoxian asked such a question.

He nodded and replied, "Director Li, my name is Lin Feng, Shuangmu Lin, Feng from Maple Leaf."

"You're not bad, you have a deep understanding of my script, and I like it very much. Do you want to come to my crew as an executive director or something?"

Lin Feng did not expect that Li Chaoxian would invite him to be the executive director.

The executive director is the assistant to the chief director, who helps the director handle the work on the set.

Lin Feng smiled and shook his head: "Thank you Director Li for your love, but every career is like a mountain. I have just started in the brokerage business, and I have a little success. Besides, I am quite satisfied with my current career and have no plans to change careers."

Lin Feng declined Li Chaoxian's invitation.

This time he came here to play a guest role as Xiao Yibo's manager, to help out when he came, and he wasn't interested in making a movie either.

Investing in movies does exist.

"That's a pity." Li Chaoxian sighed.

His eyes fell on Xiao Yibo again.

Seeing Li Chaoxian looking straight at him suddenly, Xiao Yibo got scared and lowered his head suddenly.

Li Chaoxian nodded.

"Looking at your timid and frightened appearance, I really feel a little silly."

"Okay, I'll give you a chance to audition. The audition of our crew is one week later, and now there are five actors participating in the audition. There won't be any more than you, so that's it."

Xiao Yibo was stunned when he heard it.

Lin Feng hurriedly turned around and reminded, "Thank you, Director Li."

Xiao Yibo came back to his senses, and quickly said, "Thank you Director Li, thank you Director Li."

"Okay, Brother Hou, next time I set up a 'Hongmen Banquet' like this, I won't come."

Director Hou smiled and said, "Look at what you said, what kind of Hongmen banquet."

He turned to Lin Feng and Xiao Yibo and said: "There's nothing going on here, you go out first, my brother Li and I still have to catch up."

"Okay, let's take our leave first."

Lin Feng took Xiao Yibo out of the box.

After going out, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief.

He could see that half of the reason why Li Chaoxian agreed to give Xiao Yibo an audition was because of Director Hou's face.

After all, this is a dinner arranged by his big brother, so he still has to give some face.

However, he successfully won an audition opportunity for Xiao Yibo, and Lin Feng's mission this time was also successfully completed.

The favor he owed Wan Xiaoxia before was also repaid.

You can go back to Star City tomorrow.

As for whether Xiao Yibo can pass the next audition...... none of my business?

Lin Feng only agreed to help fight for the opportunity, but did not say that he would help pass the audition.

Now that she has the chance to audition, Wan Xiaoxia has to worry about what to do next.

Lin Feng made up his mind not to take this muddy water.
