Chapter 312 War Letter
Has he retired from the film and television industry?
Chen Le was stunned for a moment. After Chu Yaoyang said that, he seemed to remember some things as well.
but.
If the other party has now retired from the film and television industry, it will not be easy to invite them.
I can only hope that the other party will give me face out of respect for Mr. Zhang.
After thinking it over, Chen Le took Zhou Yifeng and headed to the Golden Dragon Hotel.
Because of the party, the Golden Dragon Hotel was not accepting guests unless they made an appointment in advance. As soon as Chen Le and Zhou Yifeng reached the door, they were stopped by several waiters.
"I'm sorry, the Golden Dragon Hotel is hosting an event tonight and will not be accepting guests."
Despite Chen Le and Zhou Yifeng's formal attire, they were still stopped at the door by several people. Chen Le had no choice but to take out two gilded invitations and hand them to the waiter.
The waiters looked on with confusion the moment they saw the invitation.
after all…
Tonight's event is full of big names in the film and television industry, in comparison…
Chen Le and Zhou Yifeng... don't seem to be very famous?
but.
They were just waiters, and since the other party had already shown them the invitation, they didn't try to stop them.
Upon entering the Golden Dragon Hotel, Chen Le and Zhou Yifeng were led to the lobby on the first floor by a waiter. Zhang Ruopu greeted them immediately upon seeing Chen Le.
"Ale!"
Compared to his indifference last time, Zhang Ruopu is now taking Chen Le quite seriously!
After all, Chen Le's scripts have already proven his talent!
Such young people are rare in today's film and television industry.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Zhang."
Zhou Yifeng said gratefully that although he had only met Zhang Ruopu once, Zhang Ruopu had introduced him to both the supporting roles he had played before and the lead role in Chen Le's movie this time.
Now that he has offended Xiang Tianqiang, only Zhang Ruopu is willing to help him in this way.
Zhang Ruopu waved his hand: "No need. You are also a talented actor. You just haven't encountered a good opportunity. I'm just giving you a chance."
At this point, Zhang Ruopu looked at Chen Le and said, "To be honest, Le, in your script, no one is more suitable for the role of the second male lead than Yifeng."
"Not only is his acting good, but his character's image is also a good match for Yifeng."
Zhang Ruopu's original plan was to help Zhou Yifeng secure the second male lead role, or some other important position.
But Chen Le's next sentence completely stunned Zhang Ruopu.
"It's a shame to give Yifeng the role of the second male lead. He's the lead in my show!"
What the hell? !
Upon hearing Chen Le's words, Zhang Ruopu even wondered if he was hallucinating!
Should Zhou Yifeng be the main character?
Before this, Zhou Yifeng was just an unknown extra!
Even if Zhang Ruopu wanted to mentor him, he wouldn't dare to risk a film so easily. If it failed at the box office, it wouldn't just be a matter of financial loss; the lead actor's reputation would also be affected.
Zhang Ruopu's original plan was to let Zhou Yifeng gain experience under Chen Le, but unexpectedly, Chen Le directly arranged for Zhou Yifeng to play the lead role.
"It seems you're very confident in your script!"
Zhang Ruopu looked at Chen Le with a smile. He was very curious about how far Chen Le could go!
After all, Chen Le's script is really good; now it just depends on whether the audience will buy into it!
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you promote it. If you need any help, you can come to me."
Upon hearing Zhang Ruopu's words, Chen Le's eyes lit up.
He was just worried about not having enough actors, so since Zhang Ruopu wanted to help, he wouldn't stand on ceremony!
"To be honest, there is something I'd like to ask you for a favor."
Chen Le said mysteriously.
Just then, an untimely voice rang out: "Isn't this President Chen?"
Hearing the sound, Chen Le turned his head and saw Zheng Tianming walking slowly over from the side with a cigar in his mouth and a beautiful internet celebrity on his arm. He looked extremely arrogant!
Chen Le frowned slightly. This Zheng Tianming really is a persistent ghost!
He follows me wherever I go!
Zheng Tianming slowly walked up to Chen Le, first glancing at Zhou Yifeng, then a mocking smile appeared on his lips as he said sarcastically, "I heard that President Chen is preparing a new movie again? It's not going to be another low-budget film like 'Summer Troubles,' is it?"
At this point, Zheng Tianming paused deliberately, a slight smile playing on his lips: "That's true. After all, President Chen hasn't made any big-budget films, so he can only make low-budget comedies like this. But you're quite lucky to have won the box office champion."
The implication is that Chen Le doesn't have the ability or the destiny to make big-budget films, so he can only make low-budget comedy movies.
Zheng Tianming's tone was full of smugness and provocation.
He didn't give Chen Le a chance to speak at all, and continued talking to himself:
"With an investment of several billion, I will create China's first fantasy film. When my movie is released, your low-budget film will probably not even make a ripple!"
At this point, Zheng Tianming shook his head, adopting a posture of kindly advising him:
"I advise you to postpone your film project and stop trying to compete for this year's prime-time slot."
Chen Le naturally knew what the new movie Zheng Tianming was talking about was.
I heard that Zheng Tianming's new movie is a heavily modified version of the Chinese fantasy novel "The Legend of Fengxian," filmed in a Western fantasy style.
However, Chen Le was very averse to this kind of film that was neither Chinese nor Western.
The Chinese people have their own myths and legends. Why don't you go and make a Western film? Why do you have to ruin the classics of the Chinese nation? Aren't you just asking for trouble?
Speaking of which, Chen Le's new movie is also an adaptation of the ancient legend of the Dragon Kingdom, "Journey to the East".
He wanted to see which adaptation of an ancient legend would be more appealing!
"Then there's no need for Mr. Zheng to trouble himself."
Chen Le's expression was calm, and his tone was indifferent.
He wasn't easily intimidated; Zheng Tianming's attempt to scare him off in this way was futile.
Chen Le is determined to snag the prime-time slot!
Seeing Chen Le's lack of tact, Zheng Tianming's expression gradually darkened.
Who does Chen Le think he is, daring to oppose me!
"You want to compete with me?"
Zheng Tianming sneered, his tone full of disdain and provocation.
He also noticed Zhou Yifeng standing next to Chen Le.
He was slightly taken aback.
This face is so unfamiliar!
Zheng Tianming raised an eyebrow, pointed at Zhou Yifeng, and asked, "This gentleman, could he be your lead actor?"
At this point, Zheng Tianming smiled dismissively.
No wonder he looked unfamiliar; he's probably just a new actor playing minor roles!
Zheng Tianming wouldn't even bother to give an actor like that a second glance.
He looked at Chen Le with a mocking expression and continued.
"I might as well tell you that Mr. Xiang's son will be playing the lead role in this movie,"
"By then, half of the entertainment industry's actors will be in it. Do you think anyone would turn down a multi-billion dollar production to watch a movie starring a minor character like you?"
