How to Raise a Superstar
Chapter 61
The next day Ge Lu was taken to the Zhou family's mansion by Ji Chen, but he didn't know that it was his boss's house, but he was surprised that Ji Chen's house was so big and luxurious, completely different from what he imagined.But thinking about Ji Chen's family background, the surprise is gone. Ji Chen's family seems to be very rich, as can be seen from the fact that his brother visits the different sports cars Ji Chen drives every time.
He exclaimed twice, "Wow, what a rich man, what a big living room."
"It's not so exaggerated, it's just a living room." Ji Chen lived in Ji's house when he was a child, and the Ji's mansion is also a family heirloom. It's not at all smaller than Zhou's house, so he didn't think there was anything new at all. He took Ge Lu upstairs, "Go Let me study, my agent is also there, he wants to discuss with you about script changes."
Ge Lu instantly forgot the living room where he was still speechless just now, and looked at Ji Chen vigilantly, "Change? It won't be changed beyond recognition, right? Then I don't agree."
"The main body will not change. After all, it is a script I like. I found it very attractive after reading it. If there are too many changes, I won't feel that way anymore." Ji Chen patted him on the shoulder and stabilized the other person's heart, "But you I have also directed plays for several years, knowing that the other party is a new college student, and the screenwriting ability is still weak, so it is definitely not enough to show it like this."
Ge Lu nodded, "I understand, but this change still needs the approval of the screenwriter. If your agent confirms that you will accept the play, then we can modify it while shooting."
Ge Lu is still very serious about the work of the script and the director, especially when it comes to revising the script. He is almost a stubborn person. Some opinions in the script are very quarrelsome.However, Dongming had to admit that the script Ge Lu provided was a very good suspenseful work, with a compact plot and deep meaning, otherwise he would not have spent time arguing with Ge Lu here.
In this regard, Ji Chen does not help either side. In his opinion, it is every director's dream for Ge Lu to want a film with both art and connotation. However, what Dong Ming said must be in line with the trend if the audience likes it. Yes, it is very difficult to strike a balance between the two, but it is not impossible to achieve.Looking at directors at home and abroad, blockbuster and high-selling works have always existed, and there is no reason why Ge Lu can't make such works.
The two quarreled endlessly, Ji Chen slipped outside to get some air, and called Zhou Anyan halfway through, "Are you coming back for lunch? I asked the kitchen to cook nine mushroom soup for health, you can just drink it when you come back."
"Are there any herbs?"
"Added it, but it is filtered with a gauze net, the smell is not strong, the kitchen knows you are picky."
Zhou Anyan smiled, "I'll be back when I get off work." He has been free recently, and he goes home to eat with Ji Chen every day at noon, and gradually made Ji Chen develop a good habit of not eating takeaway at the company, "By the way, you Is your friend gone?"
"He's still there. I think I'll introduce him to you later, but maybe you already know him. He's the beneficiary of the new director investment plan you made."
"What is your name?"
Ji Chen told Zhou Anyan Ge Lu's name, Zhou Anyan thought about it for a while but didn't have any impression, and was embarrassed to interrupt Ji Chen's enthusiasm, so he winked at Dong Dong, who immediately printed out the person's information for himself The boss sent it up.
Ge Lu used to work under famous directors, and served as the assistant director of several blockbuster films. Over the years, he had many encounters, but he didn't have any films he directed independently. No wonder Zhou Anyan had no impression of him at all.But according to Ji Chen, the other party is his roommate in college, who was very talented in his early years, not the kind of half-level person who always relies on his connections to get into the game.
Zhou Anyan said, "Since you think it's good, then stay for him and Dongming to have a light meal before leaving, prepare for four people, Secretary Dong will also come over."
Ji Chen smiled, "I also have the same meaning."
Zhou Anyan is a very good boss, he has almost no pretensions, and of course no one dares to provoke him.It happened from time to time that he invited his subordinates to dinner. In the past, Secretary Dong often dined at Zhou's house. Now when he heard that there was a free lunch, he immediately smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Zhou."
Zhou Anyan said, "I've worked hard on you for the past few days. It's hard for you to stay in the company and not go home. Today I will give you and your brother a vacation. You can take a good rest for a day or two."
"I don't find it hard to do things for Mr. Zhou." Dongdong is much smarter than his brother. Even though he is happy to have a vacation to enjoy, he still behaves decently to show his loyalty on the surface. Your salary isn't it?"
Zhou Anyan smiled slightly, "I know your intentions."
When the two of them returned to Zhou's house, Ge Lu and Dongming had already reached a basic agreement, and they didn't quarrel as much as they did at the beginning. However, Ge Lu didn't know Zhou Anyan, so he thought that the person who entered the door was a friend of Ji Chen's. Scratching his head and muttering, "Prince, you still have guests. I told you earlier, I didn't even bring my business card..." Immediately, I greeted him with a smile on my face, "Hello, sir, I'm Ge Lu."
He felt that most of Ji Chen's friends were either rich or expensive, and the identity of the person who came here must not be simple. Since Ji Chen was able to call him and the other party at the same time, it was obvious that he came here to invest in the movie. Ge Lu is not stupid. Think about it Thinking about it, I feel that I have guessed the truth.
Zhou Anyan immediately felt that this person was very interesting, and shook his hand with a smile, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Ge."
Ge Lu laughed straight, "Don't call me Mr. Ge, I'm so unfamiliar, call me Ge Lu like Young Master Ji. What's your name?"
Zhou Anyan didn't mention his name, "I'm a few years older than you, and my surname is Zhou. You can just call me Brother Zhou."
Ge Lu called Brother Zhou in a kind manner, and then began to chat with Zhou Anyan enthusiastically. He was a little familiar, but he was not a sycophant. Clever and cunning with ups and downs in the workplace, even a vigilant person like Zhou Anyan couldn't help but have a good impression of him after talking with him.
However, during the conversation, Ge Lu looked out of the living room door from time to time, as if waiting for other people to come, but unfortunately no one showed up after waiting. After Tang Yu came to inform the guests that they could sit, Ge Lu's face Can't help showing a disappointed expression.
Ji Chen couldn't help poking him, "What are you looking at again?"
Ge Lu whispered in his ear, "Ji Chen, didn't you say your wife would come? Why isn't she here?"
Ji Chen almost wanted to strangle him to death at that moment, and glanced at Zhou Anyan guilty, "Go away, go away, I'll let you see it."
Zhou Anyan didn't hear what Ge Lu said to Ji Chen, but he noticed the scene where the two were whispering together. From this perspective, the behavior of the two was a bit too intimate, and the other's lips were almost touching the tip of Ji Chen's ear. Ji Chen She didn't push him away, instead she muttered and didn't know what to say.
He found that he didn't like Ge Lu talking close to Ji Chen's ear like this, even if it was the intimacy between friends.Zhou Anyan has always been prudent and self-reliant, but at this moment he was a little impatient, secretly brought Ji Chen to him, and then changed the topic as if inadvertently.
"By the way, is Ge Lu Ji Chen's college classmate? I haven't seen Ji Chen's classmates come to play with him before, but it's the first time I saw him today. I said he was too out of gregarious. He was just a classmate. It’s better to get in touch to exchange feelings, right?”
Ge Lu was scratching his head because he couldn't see Ji Chen's new love, Zhou Anyan's words brought him back to his senses, and he patted Zhou Anyan's shoulder carelessly. "You are so right. Ji Chen should criticize him for this point. This guy used to be a prince patient. If you ask me, he was spoiled by his brother, and he doesn't care about his classmates. It’s not that people of the same class can’t play together... If it weren’t for us all in his dormitory, I wouldn’t care about this kid, he would have already moved to another place.”
Zhou Anyan glanced at Ji Chen, who blushed, "That's all black history, Ge Lu, you bastard, talking nonsense again."
Ge Lu was not convinced, "Who is talking nonsense to you? Do you dare to say that your nickname is not Little Prince, only girls who don't know each other follow suit, and whoever knows is not far away from you?"
Zhou Anyan raised the corners of his lips with a half-smile, "I didn't know he was so unpopular. I'm ashamed to say that his brother asked me to take care of him before he went abroad. I'm busy with work, so I can only take care of life. He doesn't know many things... But I'm a little curious about the situation you just said. Ji Chen's popularity in the company is not bad now, how could his popularity be so bad before? Did he do something that caused everyone to misunderstand? "
"There's no misunderstanding. It's his own self-inflicted abuse. In college, except for the people in our dormitory, other boys didn't like him. This kid has made too many enemies, he is simply a public enemy."
"There is such a thing." Zhou Anyan chuckled, "What did he do? Could it be because his girlfriend paid too much?"
"Haha, your guess is really accurate! Ji Chen has indeed made a lot of girlfriends, all of whom are so beautiful! Thinking about it makes me pissed off. There are so many beauties in Beiying, and he can't stand him changing every day. He's two or three years old. He still doesn’t have a girlfriend, and every time he comes to play, he brings a new one, which is as fast as a rocket lifts off.”
Seeing that the topic was getting farther and farther, and he was running all the way to the road that Ji Chen didn't want to go, Ji Chen's heart was about to tremble, he almost didn't dare to turn his head to look at Zhou Anyan's expression, and quickly winked at Ge Lu, "Shut up, you Is it over? You are a woman, you are so talkative!"
Ge Lu said, "Isn't Brother Zhou a friend of your brother? I think he would also like to know about your past."
Zhou Anyan still had a smile on his face, and did not deny Ge Lu's words.He is very good at grasping the rhythm of the conversation, so that no one feels neglected or forgotten. Ge Lu is feeling this way now. He regards Zhou Anyan as his friend's elder brother. He has only graduated a few years ago. How can he be an opponent of Zhou Anyan who has been battle-tested? It didn't take long for Ji Chen's past to be revealed completely.Ji Chen almost knelt down to Ge Lu, who had no winks.Didn't you see that Dongming and Dongdong didn't speak?Although they seemed to be holding back their laughter...but Mommy didn't dare to smile in front of him!He suddenly had a premonition that he might be unlucky tonight...
He exclaimed twice, "Wow, what a rich man, what a big living room."
"It's not so exaggerated, it's just a living room." Ji Chen lived in Ji's house when he was a child, and the Ji's mansion is also a family heirloom.
