Chapter 78 A Ying and A Ying
Lan Jieying is really suitable for the role in "Justice Bao". She has a stubborn personality, and her face is full of collagen, making her look like a domineering princess.
However, he still needs to talk to Xu Xiaoming about this matter. If RTV has already arranged an actor, Liu Hongmin will not take advantage of his power and let Lan Jieying replace him.
He helped Lan Jieying more out of pity for her tragic fate. Not to mention that the two of them met by chance, even if they had a good relationship, he would not do this. This is a matter of principle.
Soon, the sound of a scene change came from the studio.
Zhou Xingxing immediately said, "Mr. Liu, it's my turn soon. I'll go in first. Ah Jin will come out soon. I'll let him know when I see him."
"it is good!"
Lan Jieying saw Zhou Xingxing hurriedly enter the studio, shook his lips, took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it over nervously.
"Mr. Liu, this is my contact information. If you have any news, could you please give me a call?"
Liu Hongmin took the business card and looked at it. It was just a simple business card with only occupation, name and phone number. A glimpse of the whole picture shows that even an extra actor uses a business card, which shows that being an actor has become a dream job for many people. This proves the prosperity of the Hong Kong entertainment industry from the side, and also shows that the Hong Kong entertainment industry is becoming saturated and the competition is more intense.
"no problem."
"Then...Mr. Liu, I'm going in too!"
Lan Jieying greeted Liu Hongmin, suppressed his excitement, and trotted into the studio.
Soon, He Jiajin came out, "Mr. Liu, long time no see."
Liu Hongmin chatted with him for a while, and when He Jiajin went in to shoot the next scene, he went upstairs to find Xu Xiaoming. They talked about the preparations for "Justice Bao" and then talked about casting.
Xu Xiaoming said helplessly: "Other roles are fine, but it's just that Justice Bao is too hard to find. We reviewed all the actors in Hong Kong, but none of them seemed suitable."
Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "It's okay. Brother Qiang is contacting Green Island."
"That's good!" Xu Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief. If there were no other roles, there would be time to find them now. But without Justice Bao, the TV series couldn't start filming!
Liu Hongmin: "Has anyone chosen the princess for "The Case of the Chopping of the Beauty"?"
"Not yet. We have to decide on Zhan Zhao now. We dare not choose other roles before we find Bao Qingtian! If there is a schedule conflict, it will be difficult to arrange."
With the development of the film industry, Hong Kong actors have started to have multiple roles. However, RTV is a TV station and prefers to film around the main character. It is best for the minor roles to coordinate with the main character's schedule, rather than for the main character to coordinate with the minor roles.
"I have a candidate here. If Director Xu thinks he's okay, please give him a chance."
Xu Xiaoming smiled and said, "What are you talking about, Brother Liu! How could the person you recommended be wrong? Bring him here in the next few days and ask Ah Hui to sign the contract."
"Thank you Director Xu!"
"You're too polite, Brother Liu!"
After Liu Hongmin took off the role of the princess, he did not immediately inform Lan Jieying. He first took Zou Shifang for a stroll in the city and told him some precautions. Then he took him to make a few suits. Hong Kong attaches great importance to image, and he was afraid that Zou Shifang would not be able to bear it. Although Zou Shifang is older than him, he is not as thick-skinned as him.
After settling Zou Shifang, Liu Hongmin called Lan Jieying's home. A middle-aged woman answered the phone.
"Hey, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Lan Jieying."
The middle-aged woman's voice became alert, "She went to work. What do you want with her?"
Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "My last name is Liu, and I'm a staff member of RTV. When Lan Jieying comes back, please tell her to come to RTV to sign the actor contract."
The middle-aged woman is Lan Jieying’s mother. She is a little confused. When did RTV have a staff member whose Cantonese is so poor?
Liu Hongmin hung up the phone, saying that he had helped. Whether Lan Jieying could seize this opportunity depended on her fate. Fortunately, Lan Jieying's mother did not hide the matter. The next morning, Lan Jieying came to Liu Hongmin's office and said, "Mr. Liu, thank you so much."
"It's okay, it's just a little effort."
Liu Hongmin stood up and said, "Let's go! I'll take you to sign the contract."
Lan Jieying followed Liu Hongmin excitedly. She didn't expect that the big shot that Ah Xing mentioned was actually real. She signed the contract with great expectations, but after getting the script, she found that there were only a few scenes.
However, she was not disappointed. In her current situation, being able to play a supporting role was already very good. She believed that with her beauty, as long as she performed well, she would definitely have the opportunity to play the leading role in the future.
Looking at the pay, Lan Jieying was delighted, it was 5,000 yuan. This was equivalent to Lan Jieying's monthly salary. He didn't expect that playing a supporting role could make so much money.
Ah Hui said at this time: "Only you and Mr. Liu know the remuneration."
Hearing this, Liu Hongmin frowned slightly, "Did Director Xu arrange this?"
Ah Hui smiled and said, "Yes, Brother Xiaoming told me personally."
Lan Jieying then realized that it was not that the supporting actresses were paid more, but that the crew gave her more on purpose. After figuring it out, she said to Liu Hongmin a little embarrassedly: "Mr. Liu, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Liu Hongmin waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Your family is in a difficult situation. With this money, you can improve your life."
Lan Jieying said gratefully: "Thank you so much! I'll treat you to a meal!"
Liu Hongmin waved his hand and was about to refuse.
Lan Jieying insisted, "We can still have breakfast at this time. Let's just eat something downstairs."
"Fine!"
Liu Hongmin thought it wasn't too far, so he agreed. He didn't have breakfast this morning, so he was a little hungry.
So the two went downstairs and found a breakfast shop.
Lan Jieying ordered some special snacks for Liu Hongmin, but Liu Hongmin didn't care about the taste at all. He couldn't get used to it anyway because it was too light.
While eating, Lan Jieying suddenly saw Liu Hongmin stunned. She couldn't help but look out the window following his gaze, only to see a woman standing outside.
A minute later, the dinner for two turned into a dinner for three.
"When did you come back?"
"It's been a few days!" Cha Jianying said a little unnaturally: "I'm sorry about studying abroad."
"It's okay!" Liu Hongmin waved his hand, "I've let it go."
The look in Cha Jianying's eyes dimmed, "Just let it go."
Liu Hongmin smiled and said, "I didn't think it through at the beginning. We were together just on impulse."
"It's great that you think so." Cha Jianying said, "After a year abroad, I definitely can't go back to my previous life."
"It seems that going abroad has had a great impact on you!"
"Yes!" Cha Jianying glanced at Lan Jieying, "Is this your current girlfriend?"
Liu Hongmin was about to deny it, but Lan Jieying said first: "Yes! My brother and I just started dating."
