Before leaving for the United States, Bai Lu persuaded Yuan Long that Bai Lu played the most dangerous role. But Yuanlong went to the United States to toss for a while, probably because he was frightened by his own script and didn't dare to let Bai Lu take risks.

The two discussed and quarreled, and Yuan Zi sat quietly and listened. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and when the door was opened, it was raining.

Bai Lu asked casually: "How is today?"

The purpose of Yang Ling and bringing people to the film festival is to do publicity, and at noon he took a group of people to the exhibition hall to go around, attracting the attention of many reporters. Ding Ding, He Xiaohuan, and Mingchen were taken away by Yang Ling like small workers, and the other three newcomers were Bai Yu.

This year's film festival is miserable, today is the second day, and there are still no big-name stars coming, but many unknown companies occupy most of the exhibition hall with unknown films, and many unknown young actors are doing the hardest performances, and they want to find reporters for interviews. But when the reporter came to the booth to take a look, he quickly left.

Therefore, after Mingchen and others appeared, they immediately attracted the attention of big media, but it was not as lively as yesterday.

Yang Ling is not nothing to take people around, that will seem particularly worthless. The reason for their appearance was that there was a press conference in the afternoon, and the films participating in this year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award answered questions from reporters.

The time started at two o'clock in the afternoon, and Yang Ling and others came over at one o'clock, and asked the reporters to surround for more than half an hour before entering the press conference.

The venue is very large, similar to the form of a tea party, with a main seat in the middle, surrounded by some scattered seats, and then outside are more scattered seats for reporters. The role of the press conference is to build momentum for the awards party, and by the way, to promote the participating crews and actors.

This film festival was indeed a failure. Not to mention the opening ceremony, nor the exhibition hall, just to talk about this press conference, many film crews that may win awards, but not many people came.

Some directors came, some producers came, and some film companies sent people, but only a few stars were seen, so there is no need to talk about the seriousness and dedication of Mingchen and others. Nature is the focus again. Although it's only a cameo role.

"Stray Fish" is very good. There are actually six nominations, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Feature Film. Best Director. Best Music. Best Original Screenplay. Any of these six nominations is very awesome!

When the nomination was announced, many insiders looked at it with skepticism. The director is a newcomer, the starring actor is a newcomer, and the music is also a newcomer, and the whole movie is all newcomers except for Yuan Long, and it is unimaginable that he won six nominations at once.

But if you think about it from another angle, you will feel that it is much more reasonable, they are the box office champions! This year's box office champions! All domestic films have been box office champions for more than 20 years. Although the ticket price is slightly more expensive, the total box office is really good.

With such a box office, it is not surprising that it can receive so many nominations.

So at the press conference that afternoon, "Stray Fish" was the protagonist. Bai Yu, as a guest actor, was also noticed by reporters.

Hearing Bai Lu's question at this time, Bai Yu replied, "It's quite interesting." Then he asked, "Are you busy at night?"

"Something?" asked Bai Lu.

Bai Yu said: "There is a music salon at night, Yi Dan and I want to go to see it, will you go?"

The so-called music salon is a group of people who like music get together to drink and brag and play music by the way.

Bai Lu replied: "I'm not a musician, so I won't go." ”

Bai Yu said: "They invited you, saying that the soundtrack and theme song of "Stray Fish" are very good, and I hope you can talk about creative inspiration." ”

Bai Lu said seriously with a straight face: "They are still more discerning. ”

"Then are you going?" Bai Yu asked.

The initiator of this music salon is a local musician who is well-known in China. Taking the opportunity of the film festival, some signed musicians in the province were invited to come over to join in the fun, and by the way, several famous musicians in China were invited to play together.

The music salon has nothing to do with the film festival, but is hung on the introduction of the festival's activities. Two activities that do not match each other want to take advantage of each other's east wind to give themselves more influence, which is a typical realistic portrayal of one plus one is greater than two.

For such a thing to happen, it is really a bit bad that this film festival is being held, and I am not willing to spend money or speculate, so I can only find a sense of existence from other places.

The organizers of the music salon have the same purpose, and they have a rare opportunity to meet musicians from all over the world, which is nothing more than the venue fee.

Before Bai Lu could speak, the door was pushed open, and Mingchen walked in, and he was a little surprised to see a room of people, and said to Bai Lu: "Come out and go down." ”

Bai Lu smiled: "Mr. Mingda actually has a secret to tell me?" and walked out of the room, and the two of them stood in the corridor and talked.

Mingchen said: "The agent called me and said that there was a merchant who invited you to dinner, did you say you would go?"

"What do you mean?" Bai Lu didn't understand, what did this ask me to do?

Mingchen briefly explained the situation: "There is a rich man who wants to invest in me to make a movie, and he invests in the whole amount, and my company finds me, saying that it is okay to shoot anything, and it doesn't matter how much money it spends, the agent asked me to go to dinner and have a good chat, but I don't feel right, how can I invest in movies like this?"

Bai Lu thought for a moment: "I still don't understand, let's talk about the point." ”

What is the point? The point is that it is not related to the family, and why are investors willing to spend so much money to support Mingchen?

Under normal circumstances, investors think that this film has a future and will cooperate with the film company. Even if it is wholly owned, it is necessary to read the script, the director, and the starring, and then contact the distributor.

Like on the phone, just for Mingchen alone, you have to invest in filming, which mostly happens in two situations, one is a woman, whether she is being fostered or sleeping with, anyway, she is exchanging her body for a film. The other is a big star, like Yuan Long, whose name is a box office guarantee, so that it is possible for investors to invest in full, and similarly, they must have a good relationship with the distributor.

Mingchen is not Yuanlong, nor is he a woman, why did this happen?

As an old man in the entertainment industry, he intuitively felt that this matter was wrong, so he came to Bai Lu for help.

Listening to Bai Lu's question, Mingchen thought about it and said: "The agent said that he only invited me to eat alone, and I was afraid that I would have an accident if I drank too much." ”

"Oh, you get the idea. Bai Lu said, "If you're afraid of drinking too much, then don't go." ”

Mingchen was just about to speak, the phone rang, after connecting, he said a few words, hung up and said to Bai Lu: "The agent said that I had better go, if I can bring back 100 million, I can make any movie." ”

Bai Lu tilted his head and thought, "What do you think?"

"I think there's a problem, but I don't want to miss this opportunity. ”

"Idiot. Bai Lu scolded: "Isn't it possible to make any films here with me? As long as you want to shoot, I will throw money." ”

The grace of dripping water is reciprocated by springs. As long as you don't play tricks with Bai Lu, if you treat him well, Bai Lu will be better for that person.

Mingchen shook his head: "I can't spend your money like this, business doesn't do this, movies don't make movies like this." ”

Bai Lu smiled, yes, it's Zheng Yanzi again, why are there all this kind of personality talents around me?

Mingchen was silent for a moment and said: "I think the opportunity is more important, I can't miss it, I'll go to dinner, if there is something, I'll call you, okay?"

Bai Lu took a closer look at Mingchen's face comparable to a woman, remembered a past incident, and nodded and said yes.

"Thank you. Mingchen looked at the time: "I'll go first." ”

Seeing Mingchen leave, Bai Lu smiled, he had a very strange feeling, thinking that tonight, Mingchen would definitely have an accident.

When he returned to the room, he asked Yuanlong: "The surname Yuan, just got up with something, last time you organized someone to pour Ding Ding wine, let's talk about it, what are you going to do." ”

Yuan Long asked, "When did I pour Ding Ding wine?"

"Just last time, in Shangri-La, there was a guy named what, ah, surnamed Yue, and a guy surnamed Liu, and a few more people, you all together poured Ding Ding wine, you big villain. ”

Yuanlong thought for a while and said, "You mean last year, I had dinner with Liu Wangtian?"

"Yes, that time, there were a few men and women. Yuan Long said: "I really despise you, relying on your seniority, you are a bully." ”

Yuanlong coughed: "What's wrong with Mingchen?"

"Don't change the topic, you said let Ding Ding play the heroine, why didn't the movie be filmed?"

"The movie is yellow, anyway, for various reasons. Yuanlong asked again: "What's wrong with Mingchen?"

"Someone invited to dinner. Bai Lu replied casually and asked Bai Yu: "What time are you at night?"

"It started at half-past six, and it was about ten or eleven o'clock. Bai Yu replied.

Bai Lu nodded: "Got it." ”

Bai Yu reluctantly asked again: "Then do you go or not?"

"It depends. Bai Lu blasted people out: "Let's go, I want to sleep." ”

A moment later, he was left alone in the room, stretching out and sleeping in a large shape.

Not long after, Zhou Yidan came over and knocked on the door: "Let's go, Mr. Bai Da." ”

Bai Lu was reluctant: "Sleeping is a big deal......"

Zhou Yidan interrupted him: "Ding Ding will also go, Sister Xiaohuan will also go, Sister Ling will also go, we five women need bodyguards." ”

Well, as a bodyguard, Bai Lu casually washed his face and went to a music salon with a group of women.

After all, it's a place you don't know well, so it's always right to be careful.

The venue of the music salon is a Qing bar, which is a remote location, half an hour by car.

The tables and chairs in the hall were re-arranged, as close to the stage as possible, forming a large semicircle.

After checking the identity and entering, the room is brightly lit, and there are about eight or nine tables and about 40 seats. At this time, there were some people sitting in whispers.

There was soft music playing in the hall, and the sound was so small that it did not interfere with speech.

A waiter came to receive the seat, and Bai Lu found the farthest table to sit down, exactly six people.

Seeing them come in, the people in the venue turned their heads to see a man and a woman standing among them, the man was about forty years old, with long hair tied in a ponytail, and walked over quickly: "Welcome, welcome, thank you for coming." The woman, who was about thirty years old, followed and said welcome.

Bai Lu and He Xiaohuan are big stars, and the ponytail man wants to invite them to sit in the center. Bai Lu refused, saying that it was very good. The pony-tailed man didn't force it, and beckoned the waiter to serve tea and drinks. (To be continued......)
