Chapter 680: Meeting

~15 min read 2,944 words

After Chu Chenliang mentioned it to her, Seeing Jin Li received the script for the second part of Dawn that he gave her the next day.

The script is quite thick, because Director Chu not only gave her the current version, but also gave her the inspiration ideas, initial version, and second revised version that had been discussed before.

Some content was not adopted in the current version, but it does not mean that those content are not good, just not easy to integrate.

If Seeing Jin Li can think of how to integrate, they don't mind adding it to the current version.

From Director Chu's efficiency, Seeing Jin Li can feel that he really wants to film "Dawn 2: Revelation" this year.

Other directors may not have this strength, but Director Chu is not sure.

Generally speaking, normal special effects blockbusters symbolize large investments, and can pull skin for half a year or even a year in investment promotion.

After all, an investment of more than one billion is not something that a single person can take out. It requires multiple parties to participate in the investment, and the balance between them.

But Director Chu has no worries in this regard.

He has been making special effects blockbusters for several years, and investors have confidence in him.

Even the most losing one barely broke even.

So in terms of investment promotion, other investment tycoons have a tacit understanding with him.

Others need half a year or a year, he may just make a phone call to finalize it, and the process can be faster, and the interest distribution of all parties can be determined in half a month.

And in terms of preparation, this point is even more unnecessary to say.

Director Chu uses his own personal team, and the crew team is all brought out by him, so he doesn't have to work hard to build a team.

Seeing Jin Li thought so, and suddenly realized that it was only the script away from the start of Dawn 2.

As long as the script is perfected, Director Chu can make preparations within two months and find a venue for filming.

As for the actors, this point is even more unnecessary to say.

As the biggest beneficiary of the first part of Dawn, Seeing Jin Li herself has few personal announcements, and has no arrangement to enter the group in the second half of the year.

If Dawn 2 starts filming in the second half of the year, she will definitely be able to enter the group.

Bai Jiang and Xu Ting are the nominal male and female leads of the movie, but their status has not risen very obviously.

Bai Jiang must still hold Director Chu's thigh.

And Xu Ting's leap is not as good as Bai Jiang's, and she is also very urgent.

Being able to film a special effects blockbuster into a series of movies is a good thing for all actors.

The crew will also try their best to retain the original cast to ensure that fans will not be misplaced when watching the movie.

After reading the script, Seeing Jin Li found that Director Chu had changed the role of "Ruan Ruanruan" a lot.

If she was still an important female supporting role in the first part, then she jumped to the heroine in the second part.

But Seeing Jin Li felt that this line was too similar to the heroine line of the previous part. It was a bit like Ruan Ruanruan snatched the heroine's opportunity, and did not really develop a new description for the role of Ruan Ruanruan.

So the feeling it gave her was not very good.

She sent her feelings after reading the script to Director Chu, and soon received Director Chu's reply.

Chu Chenliang: 【Your vision for picking scripts is really sharp. Even if you didn't participate in the script creation yourself, you can still see it.】

【Yes, when we wrote the script for the second part, in order to catch up with the construction period and also to be more convenient, we moved the high-light line belonging to the heroine to you.】

【I and the screenwriter thought this change was quite natural, but didn't expect you to see it directly. It seems that this kind of change is a failure.】

Director Chu sent a bitter smile expression.

Chu Chenliang: 【Sure enough, I can't be lazy, I still have to continue to polish.】

Seeing Jin Li replied: 【Come on.】

After reading the script, she pondered for a while, and then called Fang Jie.

Sui Lingfang was handling affairs in the company. It was just the beginning of the year, and everyone was very busy.

Sui Lingfang picked up the phone and asked curiously: "How is it playing in Hong Kong, why do you suddenly want to call me?"

Seeing Jin Li smiled and said: "Can't it be that I miss you?"

Sui Lingfang laughed: "I believe others say this, I don't believe you say this. How many times do we meet in a month? Some lovers don't necessarily meet as diligently as we do."

This is true.

Sui Lingfang would go to Qingbei to find Seeing Jin Li every week or half a month, buy her a lot of supplements, and let her boil soup to drink when she has nothing to do.

If she came to see those supplements not being consumed later, she would personally cook them and bring them to school for her.

Seeing Jin Li restrained the smile on her face and brought up the business:

"The company hasn't liked the script yet, right? Vacate my schedule for the second half of the year, um... that is, after the summer break, after September. I should enter a crew."

Sui Lingfang frowned: "Who found you, which crew are you entering?"

Seeing Jin Li: "'Dawn 2: Revelation'."

Sui Lingfang was stunned: "So fast? Isn't it still doing the script?"

She remembered that better scripts in the industry, just polishing, need one or two years, even if it takes three years, it is very normal.

Seeing Jin Li: "Director Chu answered fan questions at the viewing ceremony in Hong Kong, saying that he plans to film the second part this year and strive to meet everyone as soon as possible next year."

"Although it is just a blank check, Director Chu has already shown me the script that has been changed to half. They plan to finalize the plot while changing, and can't wait to polish it for a long time after it is changed."

Sui Lingfang hesitated and said: "Will it be too rushed to do this, and is the quality of the script really okay?"

Seeing Jin Li smiled: "I also participated in the adaptation of the script. If they change it badly, I will definitely not take it. So I want to leave the schedule first, so as not to be unable to open up when it is changed and ready to start filming."

Sui Lingfang thought for a while and said: "Okay, I will vacate it for you first."

She also said: "If your schedule for the second half of the year is really going to be vacated, then why don't you continue to film a play in the first half of the year? Just pick when you are on summer break."

Seeing Jin Li raised her eyebrows and said interestingly: "Fang Jie, you know that I have high requirements for the script. If you can find a good script, I am willing to try."

After hanging up the phone, she also tasted the benefits of reading.

When she was a celebrity before, even if she wanted to study and take the college entrance examination, her time was fragmented.

It can be said that she worked all year round.

But since she was admitted to university and studied, it has been very regular.

Her working hours are basically concentrated in the winter and summer breaks, or on ordinary holidays and weekends, which gives her more focus time and makes her feel more comfortable.

Although in front of the ability of 【half the effort】, fragmented time is no different to her, but the body feeling is still different.

Immersive learning can make people learn more deeply.

Seeing Jin Li stayed in Hong Kong for a few more days, and suddenly one day, her mobile phone received a strange call.

A intuition flashed in her heart, she didn't hang up, but picked it up.

Seeing Jin Li said: "Hello."

The person on the other end of the phone said: "Hello, is this Miss Seeing Jin Li? I am Chen Derong."

Seeing Jin Li's eyes flickered, and said: "Yes, I am, hello, young master of the Chen family, I have heard your name."

Chen Derong smiled: "Director Chu Chenliang asked someone to pass a word to me, saying that you want to understand the copyright contract of Pink Girls' songs. This contract has always been in my aunt's hands."

"My aunt is in poor health and has been recuperating abroad. She only returned to the country this year to reunite with her family. I don't know if you have time tomorrow. My aunt wants to see you and talk to you in person."

Seeing Jin Li agreed without hesitation: "Okay, where to meet?"

Chen Derong reported an address.

Seeing Jin Li searched for it. It is a large hotel with strong privacy, and the people who enter and exit are either rich or expensive.

She is worried that it is unsafe to go alone. Since it is Director Chu who bridged the gap, it is better to bring him along.

So Seeing Jin Li added Chen Derong's WeChat and asked him if he could bring Director Chu over.

Chen Derong: 【Yes】

Seeing Jin Li subsequently told Director Chu about this matter.

Chu Chenliang had other arrangements during the day tomorrow, and there was a dinner party in the evening, but hearing that Seeing Jin Li was made an appointment by the Chen family, he immediately pushed the dinner party.

"I will go with you tomorrow. If it weren't for this matter of yours, I wouldn't know how to bridge the gap with the Chen family."

Director Chu explained: "The Chen family has strong control over culture and entertainment. Mainland films want to be released in Hong Kong, they have to be approved by him."

"If we can build a relationship in advance this time, then Dawn 2 might be able to be released on the mainland and Hong Kong dual platforms simultaneously, and the box office performance will be better."

Director Chu and Seeing Jin Li went to the Chen family's dinner party this time, and did not reveal it to the outside world. The crew didn't know, so don't worry about anyone breaking the news.

After she did everything, she remembered to report to Fang Jie, so she specifically called to say a word.

Sui Lingfang heard this and was a bit nervous: "Do I need to hire a bodyguard for you?"

Seeing Jin Li couldn't laugh or cry: "Fang Jie, they are tycoons, they want face, not as chaotic as the entertainment circle in other countries."

"And strictly speaking, the Chen family is my real old boss, and there is a sentimental connection."

Sui Lingfang smiled bitterly: "Rationally, I know they shouldn't hurt you, but emotionally I always feel that you are a little white rabbit. This kind of socializing with tycoon children should be my appearance."

Seeing Jin Li said softly: "This is a matter related to Pink Girls, you don't need to appear."

Sui Lingfang thought for a while: "Qi Guan Mingzhu and Xi Sister Meng Ze are already running announcements, but it is possible to temporarily draw a day or two of schedule. Why don't I let these two run to Hong Kong, and you go together?"

Seeing Jin Li refused: "No, I happen to be working in Hong Kong, and I also made an appointment with Director Chu to go over, so they don't have to toss specifically."

She added: "And when Chen Derong called me, I saw his tone was quite relaxed, it shouldn't be a big deal."

Sui Lingfang: "Like this, you keep the voice on the whole time after you go in, I will listen on the side. If something really happens, I can help you call the police. Be careful of others."

"If they want to search your body and bag after you go in, don't go in. Where does an ordinary dinner party need to do these, and it's not to see any important international leaders."

Seeing Jin Li's eyes bent and smiled, and replied sweetly: "Okay!"

After Seeing Jin Li hung up the phone, she pondered for a while, and sent a message to Gu Cheng, saying that she was going to have a meal with the Chen family tomorrow night.

Gu Cheng didn't know what he was doing, and replied very quickly.

Gu Cheng: 【Chen family, Chen Derong?】

Gu Cheng: 【My family has cooperated with the Chen family and dealt with them. Chen Derong is one of those with ability and ambition, but his ability is not as outstanding as others in the family, but his aunt is very powerful.】

Gu Cheng: 【With his aunt there, I don't have to worry about your safety.】

A flash of curiosity flashed in Seeing Jin Li's eyes.

【Is his aunt very prestigious in the family?】

Gu Cheng: 【Should be. One is seniority suppression, and the other is that his aunt has a good vision. Investment has never lost. In terms of investment vision, she can rank in the top three in the Chen family. It's a pity that her health is too poor and she has been abroad.】

Seeing Jin Li asked amusingly: 【If there is no aunt to accompany, what do you want to do?】

Gu Cheng: 【Hire a bodyguard for you, but I'm not very relieved. Chen Derong is a playboy. I'd better run over and watch it myself.】

Seeing Jin Li sent a few naughty expressions.

Soon came to the next night.

Seeing Jin Li and Director Chu came to the hotel box, Chen Derong and his aunt Chen Leyao had already arrived.

Seeing Jin Li and Director Chu came half an hour early, didn't expect them to arrive earlier.

Director Chu said smoothly: "Sorry, late, I will punish myself with six cups first, and drink Seeing Jin Li's share too!"

Chen Leyao said lightly: "Not late, no need to drink, there is no wine on the table today."

She looked at Seeing Jin Li, looking very seriously, and nodded slightly.

"You look much healthier than before."

Seeing Jin Li's eyes were puzzled: "Mr. Chen, have we met before?"

Chen Leyao: "It was many years ago. When your Pink Girls were just popular, Hao Zhongyi Entertainment held a year-end party, and I attended for a while."

She recalled: "At that time, you were very thin and small, and your face was very pale. Although you looked good on camera, I was always worried that you would faint at any time. You were the weakest one in your group."

She walked out of the memory: "Didn't expect that after many years, you are the most popular, and your body looks good."

Seeing Jin Li smiled shallowly: "Good luck, God pities, didn't take my life."

Chen Leyao also smiled very lightly: "Let's eat first."

So everyone ate according to the rules.

Director Chu originally wanted to make friends with Chen Derong this time, but found that in front of his aunt, Chen Derong was incomparably honest and didn't take his words much.

But fortunately, he exchanged WeChat with Chen Derong, adding a contact channel, and there will be opportunities to communicate in the future.

After eating, Chen Leyao took the initiative to say: "You want to ask about the copyright contract of Pink Girls' songs, what happened?"

Seeing Jin Li hesitated and said: "There is something, don't you know? Hao Zhongyi used the copyright contract to threaten my former teammate, let her return to Hao Zhongyi Entertainment, and also put pressure on Chenxi Entertainment..."

Chen Leyao frowned: "Is there such a thing?"

Chen Derong hurriedly said: "It is Chen Peixian's own claim."

He also explained to Seeing Jin Li: "My aunt has been abroad all year round and doesn't read domestic news."

Chen Leyao pondered: "Back then, Hao Zhongyi Entertainment was a property distribution item. The elders originally wanted me to take over, but I was unwilling, so all the artists' copyright contracts were given to me, and I could have dividends in the future."

"But before I went abroad, more than half of the copyright contracts had been scattered by me. Because you were not in Hong Kong at the time and the contact was inconvenient, I simply brought them abroad."

She said frankly: "I have other investment channels. The artist's copyright fee is dispensable to me. I will return this contract to you, and you can dispose of it at will."

Seeing Jin Li and Director Chu looked at each other.

What this means, Chen Leyao not only doesn't want the copyright fees missed over the years, but also wants to take out the contract for free?

?? I am stupid, it turns out that the monthly ticket sprint activity was not completed, and the remaining starting coins will not be returned. If I knew it, I would have asked the operations officer to set the time at the end of the month (laughing and crying), it's okay, I will have experience next month~ ===== CHAPTER 681 =====
