When he arrived at Xiangjiang Hotel, it was already past 10 p. m. He had an appointment with the crew tomorrow, so Lin Fei was not in a hurry to audition.
The next day, Lin Fei got up early. After breakfast, he packed up and prepared to go for the audition.
The breakfast in Xiangjiang had a different flavor. Lin Fei ate some shrimp dumplings and barbecued pork buns, and they were not bad.
Then, at nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Fei arrived at Emperor Film and Television on time.
Emperor Film and Television was one of the largest and most influential entertainment media investment companies in Xiangjiang. Many of its films had good results and had a lot of good reviews.
For example, Red Sea Operation, Peerless, and so on.
Lin Fei got out of the car and looked up at the towering and domineering company building. He sighed in his heart.
Then, Lin Fei and Ge Liang walked straight into the company.
When the receptionist saw Lin Fei appear, she instantly recognized him and went forward to say,"Hello, Mr. Lin. Director Chen has already informed me. He's waiting for you on the top floor. I'll bring you there now.”
The receptionist was polite and made a gesture of invitation.
"Sorry for the trouble." Lin Fei nodded.
The receptionist walked in front and turned to look at Lin Fei from time to time. There was a hint of joy in her eyes.
The atmosphere here was slightly more open than in the mainland. The receptionist was used to seeing veteran actors in Xiangjiang. When a handsome young actor suddenly appeared, she naturally couldn't help but take a few more glances.
In the past two years, Xiangjiang had not produced any outstanding young stars. The young people were all acting in a moderate way, and the ones who took the lead were the older generation.
However, it also meant that at least the Xiangjiang entertainment industry would not be so impetuous.
The receptionist led the way. They took the elevator and went straight to an office on the top floor. Director Chen Mushen and the investors of Emperor Entertainment were there.
In fact, Lin Fei was also a little nervous at this time. After all, the contract had not been finalized and everything was unknown.
The receptionist knocked on the door, and a vigorous voice sounded from inside."Please come in."
Then, Lin Fei and Ge Liang went in.
The office was very luxurious. Chen Mushen sat on the sofa in the guest area, and a middle-aged man in a suit sat in front of the desk.
He was the biggest investor in the movie, and he was a senior executive of Emperor Entertainment, Yu Sen.
"Welcome, welcome. You've finally come.”As soon as Lin Fei entered, Yu Sen said with a smile.
Lin Fei said apologetically,"I'm sorry for coming a little late. My schedule did clash. Thank you, President Yu, for giving me this opportunity."”
"We didn't give you this opportunity. Zheng Rui strongly recommended you to participate in the film. We can see your strength.”Yu Sen looked very kind.
Yu Sen was a businessman. As long as he could make money in Xiangjiang City, he would be friends with everyone.
Therefore, Yu Sen was very polite to Lin Fei.
Director Chen Mushen had a deep impression of Lin Fei because of his excellent performance in Killer Wolf 2. He really hoped that he could play the role of the villain Guan Zu in New Police Story.
"Thank you for your praise, President Yu." Lin Fei replied with a smile.
Yu Sen and Chen Mushen were both big shots in the port circle. There was no harm in making friends with them.
"If it's possible, let's discuss the contract today. Tomorrow, we'll gather the crew and start work!”Yu Sen laughed.
"President Yu, don't you need to audition?" Lin Fei asked with a smile.”
At this moment, Director Chen Mushen spoke.
"Your overall image is in line with my expectations, and your acting skills and movements are obvious to all, so you can skip the audition.”Chen Mushen explained.
"That's great." Lin Fei also smiled.
Then, Ge Liang started to discuss the contract with the production team.
The price offered by the production team was very good. It was 15 million Chinese dollars and the filming would last for three months.
Both parties finalized the contract.
15 million for a movie. Lin Fei's current status had already reached the standard of a B-list actor in the film industry.
Actually, Chen Mushen wanted to save the Hong Kong film market, so he had high expectations for this movie.
Not only did they contact the international martial arts superstar, Cheng Long, but they also invited Xie Tingfeng and other big stars of the middle generation.
For Lin Fei, on the one hand, it was because Lin Fei's image was indeed in line with the image of the villain in this movie. On the other hand, it was also to open up the mainland market.
The mainland market was the real big market, and Emperor was certainly not willing to let go of this piece of cake.
After the contract was signed, the few of them were quite happy. They drank tea and chatted for a while.
"Lin Fei, what do you think of Xiangjiang City?”Yu Sen asked during the chat.
"Not bad. It's a good place with good feng shui and beautiful rivers and mountains.”Lin Fei praised.
"Hahaha, then do you have any plans to develop here in the long run?”Yu Sen took a sip of tea and asked casually.
Hearing his words, Lin Fei realized something and just smiled."I wish. I'm afraid it won't be very popular with the audience.”
Hearing this, Yu Sen put down his teacup and said,""Xiangjiang City is lacking the young generation as the backbone. If we want to regain the glory of the past, we must have new blood.”
"So, I want to ask, do you have any plans to join Emperor?”
Seeing Lin Fei's surprised expression, Yu Sen said,"I've seen your action scenes in 'Killer Wolf 2'. Your movements are very standard, and you dare to fight and fight. There aren't many artistes like you. If you come to Emperor Entertainment, I promise to support you.”
Lin Fei calmed down and said,"President Yu, you're flattering me. I just opened my own studio, so it's not good for me to sign another contract.”
He could see that Yu Sen wanted to mold him into a new generation of star players and continue the old path of Hong Kong films.
If Lin Fei agreed, he would walk the same path as Zhen Zidan and Zhao Wenzhuo.
Of course, this was only a successful example. It was very difficult to kill a martial arts star.
Lin Fei wanted to challenge a wider acting path, so he rejected Yu Sen's proposal.
Yu Sen wasn't angry when he saw Lin Fei reject him. He laughed and said,""Alright, it's my fault. I love you so much. I hope you don't mind.”
Yu Sen was a businessman. It was good to talk business during the chat. If it didn't work out, they would still be friends.
"It's okay. I have to thank President Yu for your appreciation.”Lin Fei said politely.
"Haha, you've just arrived in Xiangjiang City. Old Chen, doesn't your niece like to travel? It's good to let her bring Lin Fei around.”Yu Senhe said in a friendly tone.
"That girl is probably still playing in the mainland.”Chen Mushen said helplessly.
After that, Yu Sen found an excuse and left.
Lin Fei discussed the script with Director Chen Mushen.
Before coming here, Lin Fei had received the script for " New Police Story."
This script was indeed very exciting. The plot was intense and exciting, which was in line with the style of Hong Kong films.
"Tomorrow is the opening ceremony of the production team. The time has already been set. Remember to come over when the time comes. On the first day, he got to know everyone in the production team.”Chen Mushen said.
" Alright, don't worry, Director." Lin Fei nodded and said.
