The time for Lu Yan to arrive at the Golden Temple was just right, the car just stopped, and the security guard standing at the door immediately came over and opened the door. After seeing Lu Yan, his smile became more attentive, and his waist became more and more bent, "Lu Yan. Brother, you are here."

Lu Yan didn't come to the Golden Palace too many times, but he came with He Ming a few times. In addition, the incident when he first came to the Golden Palace was a bit big, and it became the Golden Palace for a while. hot topic. Therefore, in the eyes of these old employees of the Golden Palace, their identities are naturally different.

Lu Yan nodded, "I'm looking for Chen Yue and Su Xi, have they arrived?"

The security guard nodded, "Chen Shao, Su Shao, they arrived early. They are at Guibao 2315. I'll find someone to lead you up."

Chen Yue, Su Xi, and the others are old customers of the Golden Temple. As long as they are not newcomers, they can bear them.

"No need, I can find it." Lu Yan said, pointing to Song Hui who was driving to park, "When my assistant comes over, you can find someone to lead him up."

"OK."

When Lu Yan pushed open the door and entered, there were only those young masters in the private room. Whenever Lu Yan was present, they never ordered those Yingying Yanyan. On the one hand, he knew that Lu Yan didn't like those, and on the other hand, he didn't dare to cuckold Boss Su.

Seeing Lu Yan coming in, several people stood up cheerfully and respectfully called out, "Brother Lu."

Lu Yan smiled and greeted them one by one.

Su Xi looked behind Lu Yan and saw no one else, so he was a little disappointed, "Brother Lu, why didn't that kid Su Jue come with you."

"Oh? I thought I was the only one invited today. Why, is Su Jue the real master?" Lu Yan teased.

"Of course not," Su Xi hurriedly said, "Isn't that the kid Su Jue comes with you every time."

"It's just a coincidence." Lu Yan smiled, "But I'm afraid, now the person he doesn't want to appear with is me."

"Haha, that's definitely it." Several people couldn't help laughing when they thought of how embarrassed he was when they met Su Jue last time, "If someone else photographed him and Brother Lu, you appeared in Jinan together. Hall, even if he has ten mouths, he can't tell."

"I only feel now that the power of public opinion is so powerful!" Even though the parties involved were not there, these people definitely didn't mind falling into the trap behind their backs.

"Whoever makes Su Jue's name usually not, it's better to take this opportunity to rectify him. Maybe we can really transform a philanderer into a devoted man, then we have done a great deed."

After laughing at Su Jue, the gossip started again. Someone asked, "By the way, Brother Lu, when did you and Boss Su... um, was that public?"

"Come on." Lu Yan smiled, "I'm waiting for a suitable opportunity."

"Hey, Brother Lu, are you planning to have a wedding?"

"I have this plan." Although he has not discussed this matter with Su Mo, Lu Yan believes that as long as he proposes it, the other party will definitely not refuse.

"Will it be broadcast nationwide? It's cool to think about it. Let's be the bridesmaids and feel happy." Someone suggested.

Others chimed in.

Lu Yan said with a smile, "Okay, all of you will go meet me when the time comes."

Several people immediately chatted excitedly about the details of the wedding, as if they were the ones who were going to hold the wedding soon.

Hearing what they said was getting more and more outrageous, Lu Yan interrupted with a smile, "You invited me here today, aren't you just to say this?"

"Of course not." Chen Yue said, "To invite Brother Lu today, the first thing to do is to celebrate the big sale of the first movie invested by Brother Lu's studio."

"Yeah, Brother Lu, you are too good. The first film invested in has such a good result, many film companies are far behind."

"Brother Lu, I respect you, you are my idol."

"Now that idols are outdated, I should say male gods now. Brother Lu, you are my male god. I'll give you a toast too."

There is no reason to refuse such a toast. Anyway, Song Hui is driving, and it is nothing to drink at all, and Lu Yan will not refuse anyone who comes.

After the round, Lu Yan was still blushing and heartbeat, which made several young people more and more admired.

After a group of people frolicked for a while, a few people who had a light drinker got down on their knees and didn't move.

Lu Yan was still in high spirits, Chen Yue and Su Xi didn't drink much, but they were still in good spirits.

"Tell me, what else is there? It's not as simple as coming to me today to celebrate for me." Lu Yan looked at the two who were hesitating to speak, and cut to the chase.

"Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you, Brother Lu." Chen Yue giggled, "Brother Lu knows that we open a film investment company."

Lu Yan nodded.

"After I did it, I realized that it was really interesting. Although I haven't made any money yet, I feel that the pursuit of the whole person is different. Now our old man sees me and doesn't scold me all day long and praises me for being sensible. Hey, it's all thanks to you, Brother Lu. When I talked to our old man, he didn't agree at first. As soon as I said it was Brother Lu's idea, he immediately agreed. Let me be nice Dry."

Lu Yan smiled, he just said that casually at the time, but he didn't expect that these young masters really had the patience to do it. Afterwards, he also heard Su Jue say that in the past year or so, they invested in three films, and they were indeed invested in those young directors who were just starting out. Lu Yan also went to see it. The movie is really good. These people still have a little vision, but the main creators are too unknown, and the publicity is not strong enough, so it didn't cause much response. Except for one of them to recover the cost, the other two lost a little bit, but fortunately they didn't lose much. To these people, that little money is nothing at all. But their enthusiasm for doing things is even higher, and they really have a bit of a posture of doing practical things.

Su Xi poked Chen Yue and said dissatisfiedly, "Why are you talking so much nonsense, get down to business."

Chen Yue hurriedly stopped the topic and said seriously, "Brother Lu, it's like this. This time we came across a good script, which is really good. Although the director is a little tender, we've seen what he's filmed before, and it's pretty good. There is spirituality. We all feel that this film is worth making well, so we want to find a famous actor to support this film.”

"Okay, I'll talk about spirituality. It seems that you have put in a lot of effort. So, do you want to invite me or let me find someone for you?" Lu Yan understood immediately.

Chen Yue smiled embarrassingly, "It would be great if you, Brother Lu, can act in person. With your participation, the quality of the movie will be improved immediately, and there is no need to worry about the box office."

"It's a good idea, my salary is not low." Lu Yan joked.

"The pay is no problem, it's no problem at all, it must be worthy of your worth, Brother Lu." Chen Yue said quickly.

"Did you bring the script? I'll take a look first." Lu Yan said.

"Bring it." Chen Yue said as he conjured up a script.

Sure enough it was premeditated. Lu Yan smiled and didn't mind. As a result, the script read.

The script in Lu Yan's hand was written for the actors to read. It only had the plot and lines. It was not long, and it was quickly read.

After closing the script, Lu Yan pondered for a while.

"How is it, Brother Lu?" Both Chen Yue and Su Xi stared at him with anticipation.

"It's a good story. If the director is really as spiritual as you said, I guess he might be a dark horse." Lu Yan said directly.

"Then, Brother Lu..."

"It's a pity," Lu Yan sighed, "I just got a play, and it won't be scheduled until at least half a year."

The day before yesterday, Mel called Lu Yan and confirmed that he was the protagonist of "The Great Detective". He will go to Hollywood in half a month, and the shooting time is expected to be six months.

"Half a year is too long, I'm afraid we can't wait." Both Chen Yue and Su Xi looked very disappointed.

Lu Yan also felt a little sorry and regretful.

Lu Yan searched in his mind to see if there were any suitable candidates to recommend, and suddenly a person flashed in his mind. Thinking that person is quite suitable, he thought about it and said, "Actually, this movie does not necessarily need to find many famous actors, because if the director and other actors are too unknown, a single star who is too famous may be the opposite. It will reduce people's attention to the movie itself. I think instead of spending a lot of money on a famous enough star, you might as well use this money to do a good job of publicity, maybe it will be more effective. Speaking of starring, I have it here For a candidate, his acting skills are absolutely sufficient, and he has a certain foundation in terms of fame, but he is not first-tier, so the salary will not be very high. I think he is more suitable for your movie than me. "

"Really? Who is it?" The two eyes lit up again.

Just as Lu Yan was about to say his name, he thought about it, and then said, "But I don't know if he has a schedule. Otherwise, I'll contact him first, and if there's no problem, I'll recommend it to you."

"Okay, then I'll trouble Brother Lu."

When he went back that night, Lu Yan made a phone call. Lu Yan made the call from a landline. After the call was connected, Lu Yan felt that the voice on the other side was not particularly energetic.

"Hello, who is it?"

Lu Yan said directly, "It's me, Lu Yan. Is it Song Lian?"

Hearing him reporting his home, the voice over there suddenly cheered up, "Brother Lu, long time no see. Congratulations on your movie box office sales."

"Thank you." Lu Yan smiled sincerely.

The two usually don't have much interaction, and since the filming of "The Bureau" together, there is no chance for cooperation. However, every time Lu Yan has something to do, Song Lian will express support or congratulations on Weibo. Mixed in the crowd, it is not very drill. However, Lu Yan himself paid more attention to him, so he knew it.

"Brother Lu came to me so late, what's the matter?" Song Lian asked over there.

"Well, it's something. Do you have a schedule now?" Lu Yan didn't like to be roundabout, and asked bluntly.

"Yes, I've been busy recently. It's just... Hey, forget it, Brother Lu, tell me, what's the matter?"

Lu Yan naturally wouldn't ignore his pause, frowning slightly, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

"It's nothing, some small things should be resolved soon."

Lu Yan thought for a while, "Is it related to the brokerage company? If I remember correctly, your contract seems to be about to expire."

When we were filming and chatting together before, Song Lian once mentioned that Lu Yan has a good memory, and he will not forget it if he remembers it carefully.

There was a wry smile, "Brother Lu, you have a good memory, that's all."

"If you have time, why don't we find a place to sit down and talk tomorrow?"

"Row."

The place for the appointment on the second day was a coffee shop. It was not located in the center of the city. The traffic was convenient. It was not a holiday or a weekend, so the traffic was good.

Lu Yan arrived early, sitting in a corner wearing sunglasses and waiting.

Lu Yan didn't think of Song Lian by accident. He didn't pay attention to many people, and Song Lian was one of them.

Although for Song Lian, the first meeting between the two came from the filming of the film "The Bureau", but only Lu Yan knew that the fate of the two began to change when he took over the film "Sniper". intersection.

Lu Yan didn't feel that there was anything wrong with him taking "Sniper", and he didn't feel guilt hypocritically. But in the two lives, if you must find out what you owe, it is only this one thing. Therefore, Lu Yan will pay special attention to Song Lian's development.

Before the filming of "Sniper", Song Lian was just a little-known actor. The acting skills are there, and the appearance cannot be said to be particularly outstanding, but the manly feeling is still quite popular. He has played various supporting roles or villains in many movies, and he has a familiar face, but he has never been very popular.

This reminded Lu Yan of himself at that time. It's just that Song Lian was luckier than him at that time, because he encountered a good opportunity.

In the previous life, after Song Lian won the Cannes Best Actor because of "Sniper", he was very beautiful for a while, and his stardom was much smoother after that. It's just because the brokerage company is not very powerful, and always hovering in front of the front line, it's so close to the door. Before Lu Yan's rebirth, Song Lian was still a male star who was well-recognized for his acting skills but could not get on.

Lu Yan remembered that Song Lian's brokerage company at that time was his current one.

Song Lian arrived ten minutes before the appointed time. After he sat down, he hurriedly apologized, "Sorry for being late."

Lu Yan smiled, "You are not late, I am early. Order something first, and we will talk slowly."

Song Lian simply said to the waiter who came over, "Thank you for a cup of coffee."

"Sir, we have a lot of coffee here. Which one do you want?"

"Blue Mountain." Song Lian said casually.

"Okay, wait a minute."

The coffee was brought up quickly, and the two chatted a little about the current situation. Song Lian once again said congratulations to Lu Yan, and Lu Yan smiled back and thanked him.

After chatting for a while, Lu Yan opened the topic directly, "Song Lian, with all due respect. Do you have any problem with the agency?"

Song Lian's face froze for a moment, and then he smiled bitterly, "There is a problem. We have been unable to agree on the renewal of the contract. So I haven't arranged work recently, and I have been very busy."

Lu Yan understood as soon as he heard it. This is a common method used by some brokerage companies. For artists who are not particularly famous but have some value, if the artist is not satisfied with the renewed contract and does not want to renew the contract, he will use the method of reducing or not arranging work to put pressure on the artist to let They give in. The entertainment industry is a very realistic place. If you are not very famous and don't have a large number of loyal fans, you just disappear in public for a while, and when you come back, it will be completely different. Many well-known artists can't stand such consumption, not to mention that the fame is not particularly big.

At this time in the last life, Song Lian was already the best actor in Cannes, and his net worth naturally rose sharply. Thinking about the contract, the brokerage company must have given a lot of benefits to keep people, and Song Lian must be nostalgic enough. But now Song Lian is still nothing, naturally it is different.

Lu Yan asked, "How long until your current contract expires?"

"There's still half a year." Song Lian confessed.

"Then what are you going to do?" Lu Yan asked.

Song Lian sighed, "What else can I do, if it really doesn't work, I can only sign, it's better than being sentenced out of the game."

Lu Yan was silent for a while, then said, "Song Lian, as you know, I have opened a studio myself, and recently I have plans to sign some artists. Those who are too famous definitely don't like this small temple of mine. It takes too many resources and is not worth it. I think you are very good, you have acting skills, and you have a certain foundation. And I think we get along pretty well. So, if you are willing to come to my studio, I can do it for you Pay the current liquidated damages. In addition, a friend of mine has a great script in his hand, and I would like to recommend you to act."

Lu Yan made such a decision after careful consideration.

First of all, it is true that if the studio wants to expand its development, it is not enough for him to be an artist. It is best to sign a few more potential artists. It does not need too many, but it must be of good quality and promising prospects. After all, studios are no better than big companies, and their resources are still limited, but if you just train a few more, it’s fine.

Lu Yan also understood Song Lian clearly. His acting skills are really good, otherwise he wouldn't have won the Cannes Best Actor so smoothly in his last life, and the actor needs to be able to play a good role, and the jury is not fools. What's even more rare is that Song Lian has a good temperament, nostalgic and knows how to be grateful, which is quite rare in the entertainment industry.

Lu Yan believes that as long as the method is appropriate and sufficient resources are given, Song Lian will definitely shine in time. Although it may not be possible to win another international actor, the actor is only a bargaining chip for extra points. If you want to have a good development, it is not a title that can handle everything. , at least let Song Lian develop better than the previous life, Lu Yan is still confident.

Song Lian widened his eyes and said excitedly, "Brother Lu, aren't you kidding me?"

"I'm serious. Of course, if you don't have the will, just pretend I didn't say it." Lu Yan said.

"No, no, that's not what I meant." Song Lian said, "I'm just, a little surprised. I'd really like to. Brother Lu, I have always admired you. It's my dream to work with you."

Lu Yan joked, "Don't agree so quickly, you can think about it first, maybe my contract is more demanding."

Song Lian laughed, "Don't think about it, I trust Brother Lu. It's just..."

"Just what?"

Song Lian was a little embarrassed, "It's just that this penalty... Anyway, it's only half a year, so let's wait for it to automatically terminate the contract."

Lu Yan smiled and said, "Half a year is not short. You can't afford it, and I can't wait. Don't worry, I can still afford this money, and I believe that as long as you sign a contract with me, you will earn it back for me in the future. It must be much more than that.”

Lu Yan also thought about this. When Song Lian signed the contract with the brokerage company, it was nothing, and there would definitely not be too high liquidated damages. So for Lu Yan, who is now worth over 100 million, it is really nothing.

This matter is settled. Lu Yan quickly helped Song Lian pay the liquidated damages, and let him sign a contract with the studio. After that, he recommended him to Chen Yue and the others. After the director's interview, he was very satisfied, and he said that this was what he had in mind. the male protagonist.

After dealing with these matters, Lu Yan flew to Hollywood to start the filming of "The Great Detective".
