Chapter 372 - 372: New Movie
Lu Zhen had never doubted Ye Xuan’s professionalism. Moreover, she was an artist of the company. Ye Xuan’s decision must have been approved by the company, so she had no reason to object.
“After I informed the production team, they were overjoyed. They said that they could arrange for the contract to be signed tomorrow. They were probably afraid that you would not sign the contract again if you were unhappy. Moreover, they said that the remuneration can be discussed again.” Ye Xuan’s tone carried a hint of a smile. She had probably never seen such a lowly production team.
“Alright, I’ll listen to your arrangements,” Lu Zhen said.
Seeing how obedient Lu Zhen was, the dissatisfaction in Ye Xuan’s heart disappeared for a moment.
At first, she minded that Lu Zhen did not tell her about Jiang Fei. But now that she thought about it, everyone had their own little secrets. At least at work, Lu Zhen had never made her worry and trusted her 100%. That was enough.
After saying this, Ye Xuan reminded him, “The third episode of ‘Celebrity
Performance Class 2’ has to be recorded in advance. Which director are you going to choose?”
As the third episode of “Celebrity Performance Class 2” would be filmed for a long time, the production team adjusted the broadcast method. It was estimated that they would arrange for the actors to film the scripts of the various directors three days in advance. After filming, they would edit and produce them before broadcasting them on the day of the live-stream.
At the thought that the filming was going to start the day after tomorrow and she had to sign a contract with the producer of “Phoenix Totem” tomorrow, work matters came one after another. She didn’t know when she would be able to look for Jiang Fei, and Song Jia didn’t reply to her.
Lu Zhen was a little anxious, but she did not want to delay her work. She could only keep her private matters to herself for the time being.
Hearing Ye Xuan’s question, Lu Zhen thought for a moment and said, “l might choose Director Bai Ge t s script.”
Lu Zhen still had a good impression of Director Bai Ge. Moreover, because she was a member of the Bai Ge team, she was the most familiar with Director Bai
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment before saying, “l suggest you choose Wei Ji t s script. ”
Lu Zhen was stunned. “Why?”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment and explained, “I’ve watched a few episodes of the show and realized that it’s very unreasonable for Wei Ji to participate in this show. He usually doesn’t even like to talk to people. Why does he have to participate in such a show? He’s not the kind of person who would do something he doesn’t like for money.”
Lu Zhen nodded and felt that Ye Xuan’s analysis made sense.
Ye Xuan continued, “l guess he’s going to film a new movie. Because his movie’s reputation hasn’t been good in recent years, it’s difficult to even find actors, let alone investors. On one hand, he might be participating in this show to rebuild his image in front of the public—of course, he’s already failed.
On the other hand, he should be looking for suitable actors for his new movie.”
Lu Zhen understood a little. Ye Xuan wanted her to fight for an important role in Wei Ji t s new movie? But she was still a little puzzled. “But how do you know that his new movie is a good movie?”
Lu Zhen recalled carefully. In her previous life, she had never heard of any strong reactions to Wei Ji’s movies before she died.
“Of course 1 don’t know. I’m just gambling. 1 went to find out more about Wei
Ji. I realized that he’s been filming those lousy movies for the past few years to raise money. Why do you think he’s raising money?”
“To film a new movie?” Lu Zhen guessed.
“That’s right! Moreover, I’m guessing that he raised the money to film a movie to avoid the involvement of the capitalists. From this, it can be seen that he cares a lot about his new movie and takes it very seriously. I’m willing to bet that his movie has a lot of potential.” Although Ye Xuan was only speculating, her tone carried a hint of certainty.
Lu Zhen immediately understood. She said as if she had understood something, “Director Wei Ji has been preparing for this movie for a long time. This movie can be said to be his work that has been honed for ten years. He wants to rely on this work to turn things around and return to the peak, so he will definitely do everything.”
Seeing that Lu Zhen immediately understood what she meant, Ye Xuan felt very gratified. “That’s right. The other directors are all successful directors. There’s a high chance that they don’t need to make any breakthroughs. Even if they want to prepare to film a new movie, it must be a standard script. It’s the same if you film one or ten of those movies..”
