Chapter 116

Similar to "The Thunder" and "The Knockout,"

"In the Name of the People" was also a drama that the authorities attached great importance to.

It was an unprecedented anti-corruption theme.

The significance was extraordinary.

Li Lu received this theme even earlier than the previous two directors.

At the beginning, it was also bumpy, and he couldn't find anyone to invest at all.

Finally, he was lucky enough to get some investment.

Gao Gao Yalin, the father from "Home with Kids," finally managed to scrape together 100 million for the investment.

But 100 million was just a drop in the bucket for this TV series.

Li Lu could only use his silver tongue and his connections.

Constantly persuading one veteran actor after another.

Finally, after several months of effort, he gathered more than 40 veteran actors.

Many of them were acting out of friendship because of the script and the support from above.

The total salary added up to only 40 million, which was so low it couldn't even compare to the price of a little fresh meat.

But in order to pursue excellence,

one of the roles made Li Lu have a headache!!!

He hadn't found a suitable actor for the role.

When he saw those explosive clips of Mu Chen, he instantly felt he had found the right person.

But whether it was suitable or not,

Li Lu was still relatively cautious.

Suddenly, Li Lu remembered that Director Fu had mentioned during a chat that Mu Chen was also going to play one of the roles.

Why not ask him again to try.

Saying this, Li Lu immediately dialed Director Fu's number.

As soon as it connected,

Li Lu asked impatiently:

"Old Fu, let me ask you something!"

"Is your big boss's acting really as explosive as what's shown on the hot search?"

Director Fu on the other side heard Li Lu's words.

He was immediately unhappy.

"What do you mean 'as explosive as that'?"

"It's even more exaggerated than that, okay?"

"Hearing is believing, seeing is real."

"Whatever I say is nonsense; I'll send you a few videos, take a look and feel it for yourself!"

After saying this, Director Fu hung up the phone directly.

Just when Li Lu was a bit confused,

the other party sent three videos directly.

The videos weren't the edited final cuts, but the original raw footage from the recording.

The first clip was the classic scene where Mu Chen answers the phone and says "Uncle Dong is not happy."

The second clip was the 5-minute, one-shot scene between Mu Chen and Zhang Xue Zhijian.

The third clip was the explosive scene where Mu Chen confronts the police in the rainy night.

When Li Lu finished watching all three videos,

his scalp went numb from Mu Chen's acting skills in them!!!

This is Mu Chen???

The first thought in his mind was, how the hell could this be Mu Chen???

That mature, thin figure, that aura of a big boss that couldn't be dissipated.

No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't imagine it on Mu Chen.

Whether it was the subtle details on his face in the first clip,

or the explosive look in his eyes in the third clip,

they all left Li Lu in awe.

What made Li Lu even more incredulous was that in the second clip,

Li Lu clearly felt that Mu Chen had directly suppressed Zhang Xue Zhijian's acting.

It could even be said that it was a direct, overwhelming presence.

You have to know that Zhang Xue Zhijian also had a role in his own drama, and was also a pillar he had decided on.

He couldn't imagine what kind of existence could suppress the other party's acting like this???

How many people in the whole country could have such acting skills???

Subconsciously, Li Lu sent a string of question marks to Director Fu.

"??????"

"This is Mu Chen?"

The other party replied to the message quickly.

"Genuine and authentic!"

"Mr. Mu is simply too good at shaping character images!"

"His acting is also top-notch!"

"He is the younger generation I've ever seen; no, even among veteran actors, and even movie stars, he is a top-tier existence!"

"I'm definitely not bragging; you can see the level in it yourself!"

"In that second clip, Old Zhang was even suppressed to the point of forgetting a line!"

After getting confirmation from Director Fu,

Li Lu held his phone, unable to recover for a long time.

He hadn't seen it wrong; Old Zhang had indeed been suppressed, and even forgot his lines directly, which was an incredible thing for a veteran actor.

Then he watched the videos several times, finally managing to find some traces of Mu Chen in them.

But the more he did,

the more he felt Mu Chen's terror in his heart.

Being able to make people unable to feel Mu Chen's own existence in every scene.

This was an explosive existence in the entire entertainment industry.

It could only be said that Old Fu was absolutely right.

Mu Chen was too good at shaping characters, too good at acting.

He was a perfect fit for the role he needed!!!

Subconsciously, Li Lu wanted to call Mu Chen to invite him.

But suddenly, he was also stunned.

He did think Mu Chen was a good fit for this role!

But Mu Chen wasn't short of money at all right now.

And the other party's salary, given this kind of acting, wouldn't be less than tens of millions.

How could he invite the other party with his ass?

And he wasn't familiar with the other party at all.

What to do???

Finally, Li Lu asked Old Fu for Mu Chen's phone number.

He bit the bullet and dialed it.

However, after dialing several times, the other party just kept making a beeping sound.

Li Lu also shook his head in annoyance.

Forget it, let's try again tomorrow!!!

At this moment, Mu Chen certainly didn't have time to answer any calls.

Watching Jin Chen swimming back and forth in the pool like a mermaid.

Looking out, it was all a white glow.

Answering the phone or whatever was nonsense.

Jin Chen also swam to the other side and poked her head out.

She waved at Mu Chen and said:

"Come quickly!"

That cute look.

Made Mu Chen think of the scenes in his past life when he passed by the alleys with flashing red lights, where those flashy girls would wave their hands and invite him to "alleviate poverty."

Every time he saw it before, Mu Chen would be speechless.

He was poorer than them, what poverty was there to alleviate.

But those girls clearly couldn't compare to Jin Chen, who was bubbling with beauty at this moment.

Mu Chen naturally couldn't refuse Jin Chen's invitation.

He jumped directly into the swimming pool.

Then he swam quickly towards Jin Chen.

Watching Mu Chen's vigorous figure in the water.

Jin Chen's eyes were also full of intoxication.

She was beautiful, and Mu Chen was also handsome!!!

Such a handsome man, also so talented, and so charming.

Even if she hadn't been polite to men before, she couldn't resist Mu Chen at all.

At this moment, she immediately kicked off the pool wall and swam towards the distance like a fish.

While swimming, she laughed coquettishly:

"Come and catch me!"

Mu Chen also poked his head out and teased.

"If I catch you, do I get to 'hehehe'?"

Jin Chen's face blushed slightly, looking even more beautiful under the night lights.

But she didn't act shy with her words.

Instead, she said generously:

"Okay!"

"I'm actually very good at swimming!"

Good at it?

You're afraid you don't know how BUG-like the human limit physique is!!!

Even if Mu Chen wasn't very good at swimming, with his physique maxed out, all techniques were nonsense.

However, in such a wonderful situation.

If he really caught her immediately, it wouldn't be as beautiful.

Mu Chen paddled, watching Jin Chen swimming gracefully in the water.

It was as if he saw the most beautiful mermaid in the world.

Especially the white, glowing jade back, jade legs, and jade feet that poked out from time to time.

It was even more pleasing to the eye.

It formed a beautiful painting.

Mu Chen was too lazy to speed up.

He just followed and chased at a leisurely pace.

It was as if the whole world had stopped at this moment.

Only two fish were chasing each other.

However, as Jin Chen played, she also found that Mu Chen didn't seem unable to catch up with her.

But was always maintaining the same speed as her.

If she was fast, he was fast!
