Chapter 45: Xiangjiang Trip, Saving the Crew

Seeing Lu Kuan only received Li Dawei's call after getting off the plane the next day.

This young director in his early thirties first notified him of the news that he had passed the audition and became the actor of Ouyang Yujian, and then stammered to inquire about his relationship with Jiang Qinqin.

After learning from Boss Lu that Jiang Qinqin took care of him like a sister, this infatuated director excitedly expressed his welcome, vowing that he would definitely take good care of him in the crew.

Seeing Lu Kuan hung up the phone quite speechlessly; he wasn't shameless enough to mock and amuse this infatuated director, just felt quite awkward...

Awkward is awkward, the salary plus selling the theme song totaled 200,000, and Boss Lu was one step closer to his film dream.

"Lu Sheng! Here!" Wang Minhui jumped and cheered in the crowd, her chest curves in short sleeves were proud.

The average temperature in Xiangjiang in April is basically above 24 degrees, and the fire umbrella was high at noon, and there was already some slight summer heat.

Wang Minhui drove him to the luxury house in Heng'an Pavilion, and kept looking for topics along the way.

"Lu Sheng, Mei Jie and I both watched your rock scene, so majestic!"

"Really? I broke my voice, probably Mei Jie would laugh until she couldn't straighten her waist!"

Wang Minhui pursed her lips and smiled: "No, the lyrics are very touching to her; she watched it several times on the Internet."

"By the way, how are those three mother and son in Mei Jie's house now?"

Not long after the last departure from Xiangjiang, Mei Yanfang's second brother Mei Deming was diagnosed with throat cancer.

He landed on his boots, actively cooperating with treatment on one hand, and practicing self-cultivation according to Seeing Lu Kuan's instructions on the other, renting a house to practice near the famous Taoist temple Penglai Immortal Hall in the New Territories, and was very honest.

This diagnosis really scared the eldest brother Mei Qiming, who had a high fever for several days before he recovered; now he is more kind-hearted than anyone else.

Including the old demon woman Qin Meijin, she begged Mei Yanfang to contact Seeing Lu Kuan to save her two sons, scared out of her wits, and had no leisure to make trouble anymore.

Mentioning this, Wang Minhui was even more excited: "Very good, now the family is kind to mother and filial to son; thanks to your idea, Lu Sheng."

"Ding ding ding ding~" Wang Minhui's mobile phone rang again. The female driver didn't even look at it and hung up directly.

She glanced at Seeing Lu Kuan in the passenger seat on the left and tentatively said: "Lu Sheng, can you calculate my feelings?"

"Oh?" Seeing Lu Kuan curiously turned his head and looked carefully at this beautiful young woman of twenty-four or twenty-five: "Does this still need to be calculated? Look at your eyebrows and eyes full of spring."

"The one who just hung up is Xie Tingfeng's call, right."

Wang Minhui was shocked: "Heaven! Can you really calculate it?!"

Seeing Lu Kuan smiled: "Guessed, I heard your gossip from the flight attendant on the plane; it's enviable."

Wang Minhui blushed and didn't speak, and arrived at the destination after a turn.

Mei Yanfang was already looking forward to it on the second-floor terrace.

"Little brother, is Xiangjiang hot?"

Seeing Lu Kuan looked up; Mei Yanfang's hair was cut shorter, but her face was ruddy and her spirit was full, not like a middle-aged woman suffering from a serious illness.

"Sister, good complexion."

The two hugged lightly with a smile; Seeing Lu Kuan clearly felt that her body was not as thin as before; the so-called heart-wide body fat, good mood is the most nourishing.

"So busy in the mainland, haven't come to see your sister for two months." Mei Yanfang looked at Seeing Lu Kuan drinking sugar water to relieve the heat and pretended to be angry.

"Look, I'll count for you." Seeing Lu Kuan broke his fingers: "Participated in the art exam, wrote a movie script, wrote two songs, and auditioned for a CCTV TV series, which will start filming next month."

Wang Minhui took the opportunity to flatter: "Lu Sheng is very enterprising; Mei Jie, you watch his rock video every day, don't you know?"

"Don't talk too much!" Mei Yanfang scolded with a smile.

"No matter how busy you are at work, you have to rest; look at your sister and you will know, so many years of illness."

Seeing Lu Kuan smiled: "Don't worry, by the way, sister, have you read the script I sent over?"

"*Whiplash*, it's written very well; I now suspect that you are a fake Daoist priest; are you possessed by some great director?"

That's right, I am a demon from outside the domain who took over.

Mei Yanfang talked about business: "Say it, what can I help you with?"

Seeing Lu Kuan said solemnly: "The teacher image in this movie is too dark, it's very difficult to pass the review in the mainland; I want to take the path of a co-production, and the male lead and several male supporting roles are invited from Xiangjiang actors."

"Which ones?"

"Xie Tingfeng, Chen Guanxi, and Yu Wenle will do, and in terms of salary..."

Mei Yanfang smiled: "I can invest if you lack money."

"No need, the preliminary budget is 6 million; I have 4 million cash now; with Xie Tingfeng and them as protagonists, the planting advertisements for jazz drums and coffee shops in the film can collect at least 1.5 million, basically no big gap."

Wang Minhui asked: "What is your psychological price for their salary?"

"Xie Tingfeng 1 million, Chen Guanxi 600,000, Yu Wenle 400,000." (Note 1)

Mei Yanfang and Wang Minhui looked at each other; this salary estimate was very accurate; based on the market price, it was a discount, and the friendship price was basically this number.

Seeing Lu Kuan was naturally prepared; Xie Tingfeng is currently the well-deserved first student in Hong Kong, started with music, and has certain acting skills.

From image to age, for the protagonist who needs certain music literacy, he is the most suitable.

From the box office appeal of co-productions, he is also the first choice.

The reason why Seeing Lu Kuan delayed until now to come to Xiangjiang to invite Mei Yanfang to come forward was to grasp this awkward timing for Xie Tingfeng.

This involves his recent scandal.

This incident directly led to his real-time value falling; the advertising price of the same period fell from 2 million to 1 million.

The thick-black Boss Lu just stepped on this wind and waves where Xie Tingfeng was very passive in Xiangjiang, invited him to film in the mainland, and could also suppress his salary, why not do it.

"Minhui, you come forward to invite Xie Tingfeng, let Little Lu talk to him face to face tomorrow."

Chen Guanxi's status in this period is average; first settle Xie Tingfeng, the rest are additions, not worth worrying about.

"Yes, Mei Jie."

Mei Yanfang's mood is quite contradictory now; she appreciates his progress and worries about whether a 20-year-old young man can afford the heavy responsibility of a 6 million film production.

After all, this is just a student who has been in the world for less than half a year since entering the deep mountains, and even the directing department is still taking the exam.

"Little brother, why don't I find you a producer, Jiang Zhiqiang, is it okay?"

Seeing Lu Kuan pondered for a few seconds: "You can meet and chat about distribution; the producer is not necessary."

Note 1: The salary refers to their advertising salary in the same period (because film salary and accounting will be falsely high). Because the two were entangled in scandals, they both plummeted. And the advertising salary of entertainment stars in various industries is generally greater than the work treatment or salary.

For example, when Yao Ming's annual salary was 15 million knives, the endorsement fee given by Toyota was 300 million yuan, but he didn't take it.
