Chapter 56: Breaking the Door and Opening the Window
After the people from Weibo and Guinness left, Jiang Lei from Huanrui also had a rare exchange of words with Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, congratulations, I knew you would succeed, you have good looks, good acting skills and you are so humble and low-key,
But to be honest, I really didn't expect you to be so popular. You don't know how many calls I get from entertainment companies every day about working with you.
And because of your popularity, our Huanrui Company has become the preferred agency for many artists, especially some young actors who consider our Huanrui Company first!
If you have any questions, just tell Zhang Jing directly. If you really have problems, you can call me directly, or even call Mr. Zhong directly.
President Zhong has already said that anything concerning you must be handled immediately and done well. "
Now Huanrui has really got Lin Feng in its hands.
At work, Lin Feng was allowed to get whatever film and television resources he wanted, but it seemed that Lin Feng was not interested in his own stuff;
In terms of life, the stars have a complete logistics team, assistants, stylists, etc., and RVs and apartments are also indispensable.
Because Lin Feng hadn't bought a house yet, they rented him a luxury apartment in BJ, which was also equipped with a professional nutritionist.
"Mr. Jiang, thank you too. If you hadn't invited me to join Huanrui, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today."
Lin Feng is indeed very grateful to Jiang Lei. If it weren't for Jiang Lei, he might not have had the opportunity to star in "Gu Jian Qi Tan", let alone become so popular later, so Lin Feng is very grateful to him.
"By the way, Mr. Jiang, I haven't congratulated you on your promotion to vice president yet. Congratulations!" Lin Feng gave his sincere blessing.
"Haha, I also took advantage of you. If it weren't for "Gu Jian Qi Tan", I wouldn't have been so fast. You are really my lucky star!" Jiang Lei was also full of energy at this time.
The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and then Jiang Lei started talking about business.
"Lin Feng, actually I came here this time for another thing. I want to tell you that our company is making a movie called "Fall in Love with You" specifically for you.
The story is very simple. It is about a young actor and a young assistant who met by chance and then separated. Five years later, the two successful people met again. This time, the young assistant became the star's agent.
The two developed feelings for each other while working and living together, but because of their celebrity status, they could not make their relationship public. Their relationship went through all kinds of hardships, but they finally got married.
The project has been approved now. The male and female protagonists in the play are you and Yang Mi. Yang Mi has already accepted the role after hearing that you are the male lead. We can start filming anytime now."
Lin Feng understood immediately after hearing this. This was Huanrui's plan to hype up the popularity of "Gu Jian Qi Tan" and use the two main actors, Lin Feng and Yang Mi, to get some money from fans.
But Lin Feng doesn't care about this little money. He always values long-term interests. Moreover, this is an insult to Lin Feng who wants to take the "boutique route".
More importantly, hasn’t Lin Feng already asked his agent Zhang Jing to make his attitude clear? Why does Jiang Lei continue to come to him?
However, because he was Jiang Lei, a person who had done him a favor, Lin Feng said in a more sincere manner: "Mr. Jiang, didn't I make it clear before that I didn't want to act in this movie?
And I don’t have any schedule now. I finished filming “The Journey of Flower” this month, and I have to record a few episodes of “Running Man” next month.
Next up are "Mr. Six", "Charlotte's Troubles" and "Detective Chinatown", but I don't have time for that either!"
"Well, this is mainly arranged by President Zhong. It is a movie specially made for you. She hopes you can take it.
Moreover, the shooting time of this movie is very short, 40 days at most. If you focus on shooting your part and compress the time, you only need to free up 20 days of schedule.
"Mr. Six" will not start until December. Apart from recording variety shows, you did not have any other important announcements between October and November, so you had plenty of time to shoot this movie."
Good man, this has all been planned out, and he came directly to me, not giving me the chance to refuse.
"Mr. Jiang, tell me the truth, is this your idea or the company's?" Lin Feng also directly brought up the topic.
"Lin Feng, I understand your concerns. I know you value your reputation, but you also need to understand one thing.
The company trained you to make money. Now you don't accept any roles in the company. Mr. Zhong is already dissatisfied with you.
Moreover, the script of this movie was also carefully crafted. With the support of the original crew of "Gu Jian Qi Tan", the box office will definitely be good.
Don't worry about whether it's my idea or the company's. I advise you to take this movie. After all, it's just a movie. Who hasn't acted in a bad movie? And our film production team is not bad. We invited the director of "Love in the City"!
If you are not satisfied with the script, you can discuss it with the director and ask him to change it according to your wishes. After all, this is our company's own play!"
I don't know how to change such a bad movie. The only thing I can do is not to shoot it.
Moreover, it is no longer a simple script issue like "Fall in Love with You", but a matter of route selection between Lin Feng and Huanrui.
What's more, Huanrui has not mentioned "Descendants of the Sun" yet, but instead wants me to take over "Fall in Love Like a Star". The meaning is obvious.
If Lin Feng makes concessions the first time, he will only give in step by step in the future, so he must make his attitude clear at the first time.
Moreover, when Lin Feng first signed the contract with Huanrui, he thought that after he became popular, there would be such a confrontation day.
Huanrui would let him take on some bad dramas that were meant to make quick money and support newcomers, so he was prepared.
Lin Feng said directly: "Boss Jiang, I have always been grateful to you, and I have absolutely no intention of targeting you.
And you also know my temper. I hate it most when others force me to do things I don’t like.
I don't like the script of "Love in the Stars", I don't want to shoot it, and I won't take it.
And I remember when I signed the contract with Huanrui, it specifically stated that 'I have absolute autonomy' and can choose the script I like."
I really didn't pay attention to this at the time. Jiang Lei even regretted it a little. Who would have thought that he would push resources out?
When Lin Feng turned down "In Fragrance" and "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" some time ago, he was scolded a lot by the chairman Zhong Junyan!
Lin Feng continued to speak forcefully: "Boss Jiang, Huanrui won't want to breach the contract, will it? If that's the case, I'll really have to consider whether or not to continue cooperating with Huanrui!"
What the hell, what does that mean!
It's just a movie script, and you're planning to terminate the contract!
Are you serious? You just want to “break the door and open the window”!
Jiang Lei was so frightened that his face turned pale and he didn't speak for a long time.
But things have already come to this, and it would be inappropriate to talk about anything else. This is no longer something I can control, and the person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it.
"Um... Lin Feng is not that serious yet. Huanrui will definitely not breach the contract. Don't worry about that. We are having a pleasant cooperation now.
I see. In two days, at the celebration party for "Gu Jian Qi Tan", Mr. Zhong will talk to you personally. You should be prepared."
