    Chapter 695: The Dilemma of the Stage Play

    After Lin Xiansong ended the call with Hu Chenghu, he called Ouyang Meihe first.

    Ouyang Meihe is accompanying Zhou Mengjie. She comes more frequently than Chen Jingwen these days. She comes to Zhou Mengjie's dormitory when there are no classes. If the weather is good, she will accompany her for a walk.

    At this time, Ouyang Meihe was sitting next to Zhou Mengjie, watching her playing with a deck of cards, her eyes full of curiosity and yearning. Compared to things like fate and astrology, girls are much more interested than boys.

    Suddenly receiving a call from Lin Xiansong, Ouyang Meihe was slightly startled at first, and then felt happy in her heart. Lin Xiansong rarely called her, and she saw that at this time, Lin Xiansong's call was very likely  It was about having dinner with her.

    Ouyang Meihe was right. As soon as the call was answered, Lin Xiansong proposed to have dinner together in the evening, and Ouyang Meihe naturally agreed.

    After hearing that Ouyang Meihe was in Zhou Mengjie's dormitory, Lin Xiansong said a few words to Zhou Mengjie and invited her to have dinner with her in the evening.

    After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiansong smiled bitterly. Two days ago, he said that he would take a walk with Zhou Mengjie every day, but now it seems that he spends three days fishing and two days drying nets. Zhou Mengjie has a gentle personality.  Not saying a word about it made him feel even more guilty.

    "I'm still too busy." Lin Xiansong said to himself, but he still felt that this was just an excuse. Isn't there a famous saying that time is just a gap, and there is still some squeeze.  For example, this afternoon, he wandered around the campus for a long time and didn't even think of visiting Zhou Mengjie.

    It felt a bit heartless. Lin Xiansong shook his head and raised his hand to dial Sun Wanliu's cell phone again.

    Sun Wanliu's voice, like Ouyang Meihe's, was also full of surprise. When Lin Xiansong invited her to have dinner together, she agreed without saying a word.

    Ouyang Meihe, Zhou Mengjie, and Sun Wanliu all lived in the campus dormitory, so Lin Xiansong made an appointment with them to meet at the school gate. When the three girls arrived, they walked to the Jinbang Hotel together.

    Jinbang Hotel is right next to Longhua University. It only takes about ten minutes to walk from the gate to Jinbang Hotel.

    On the way, Lin Xiansong talked about his dream of film and television and his intention to invite Ouyang Meihe and Sun Wanliu to play a role in the first movie.

    "I have heard Hu Chenghu mention this." Sun Wanliu said after listening: "There is no problem in having a guest role."

    Ouyang Meihe said with a little hesitation: "But I have never had any experience in this area. I don't know if I can perform well."

    Since Ouyang Meihe said this, she naturally agreed. Lin Xiansong smiled at her and said: "With your performance and progress in the ten school beauty pageants, I don't think it is a guest role, let alone a guest role."  You are fully capable of playing the leading role."

    Hearing Lin Xiansong's compliment, Ouyang Meihe smiled sweetly and said, "Then I'll give it a try."

    Unlike Ouyang Meihe and Sun Wanliu, Zhou Mengjie had no interest in acting in movies, so Lin Xiansong didn't mention it to her at all.

    Instead, Zhou Mengjie chuckled and said to Lin Xiansong, "Xiansong, you have changed tremendously in the past six months. Not only have you become a famous figure in the school, but now you have become the boss of a film company."

    "What kind of boss? He's just a shareholder." Lin Xiansong shook his head and smiled, and said, "Even if I bought a stake in this Dream Film and Television company, it was because of Cheng Hu and Qing Shang, and I don't have much interest in it."

    While the three of them were talking, they arrived at the entrance of Jinbang Hotel.

    Lin Xiansong saw Zhang Zhichao standing at the door at a glance. At the same time, Zhang Zhichao also saw Lin Xiansong and Ouyang Meihe, Sun Wanliu and Zhou Mengjie beside him.

    Zhang Zhichao was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what he was doing. He walked up to Lin Xiansong in a few steps and said respectfully, "Mr. Lin, Director Hu is going to pick up a few people, so he asked me to wait for you at the door."

    Lin Xiansong nodded to Zhang Zhichao, feeling that Zhang Zhichao was a man who could put his face down. The unpleasantness in the afternoon did not seem to affect his mood at all at this time. He did not have the stubborn problem of losing face like some arrogant and arrogant young people.  No wonder Hu Chenghu felt that this person was useful.

    Lin Xiansong and others followed Zhang Zhichao to a large box. There were two tables in the box. One table was occupied by people from Dream Film and Television, and the other table was for those who used to play Jiangnan Eight Arts Stage.  It was prepared by the crew, and there were about seven or eight people sitting at this table. Xia Tong was also sitting at this table at this time.  I didn't see Hu Chenghu, and I didn't know who she was going to pick up.

    Seeing Lin Xiansong and others coming in, people at both tables stood up.

      "Xiansong, Mr. Lin, Brother Million" made Lin Xiansong feel dumbfounded. He came up with three titles at once. Fortunately, no one from the Ancient Business Alliance was here, otherwise he would have to add '  The title of leader'.

    After greeting everyone, Lin Xiansong, Sun Wanliu, Ouyang Meihe, and Zhou Mengjie naturally walked to the table of Jiangnan Eight Arts and sat down.

    They naturally became the focus of the box, and Lin Xiansong received more looks than the three beauties who came with him. These looks included curiosity, envy, and of course a little jealousy.

    There is no way, anyone who shows up with the three girls Sun Wanliu, Ouyang Meihe, and Zhou Mengjie will be treated like this.  Ouyang Meihe is one of the twelve golden beauties of Longhua, and she also won the first prize in the ten-school beauty pageant just now. She can be said to be the most popular beauty in Longhua now. Some people have already claimed that they will add the five beauties of Longhua to the six beauties.

    Although Zhou Mengjie is usually a low-key person, he was named one of the Twelve Golden Hairpins of Longhua when he first entered school last year. It can be seen that gold will always shine, and even beauties will not be buried.

    Although Sun Wanliu has not entered the ranks of Longhua's Twelve Golden Hairpins, her kind of gentle and classic beauty with a hint of Jiangnan women will make people unable to help but pay attention.  She was also one of the most outstanding characters in the Jiangnan Eight Arts stage play last year.

    In short, the boys in Longhua feel that it is a great honor and happiness to have one of these three girls by their side, but Lin Xiansong brings all three of them here at once, which is really awesome.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????: Lin Xiansong spoke and behaved in a very indifferent manner, this gave everyone the illusion that it was commonplace for Lin Xiansong to have three or five beauties around him.

    Xia Tong happened to be sitting opposite Lin Xiansong at this time. She was quite surprised that Lin Xiansong came with Ouyang Meihe, Sun Wanliu, and Zhou Mengjie. She couldn't help but think of some things she had heard about Lin Xian.  The common point among these rumors is that Lin Xiansong is always surrounded by beauties. The difference is that some rumors say that Lin Xiansong is an amorous young man, and some rumors say that Lin Xiansong is an amorous son.

    Although the meanings of these two statements seem to be similar, they express two different attitudes. The first statement is obviously derogatory, while the second sentimental statement is more neutral.

    Now it seems that those rumors are indeed true. Seeing Zhou Mengjie, Ouyang Meihe, and Sun Wanliu chatting with natural expressions, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart: I really don't know how he did it.

    People who participated in the Jiangnan Eight Arts stage play rarely had the opportunity to get together like this, and they were all very talkative, so their table with fewer people was actually much more lively than the table next door.

    "Xiansong, if you have a chance, please help us old comrades." A talented man who played the role of a talented man who was trampled by Lin Xiansong in Jiangnan Eight Arts said to Lin Xiansong: "If I dream of making a film and television project in the future,  , if there is a suitable role, you must take care of us first."

    "That's right, Xiansong, even if it's just a supporting role, I won't take any money and I'll bring my own lunch."

    "That's right, Xiansong, we have a great chemistry together in the Jiangnan Eight Arts stage play. It's better to use an acquaintance than a novice."

    Lin Xiansong waved his hands repeatedly and said: "Everyone, everyone. You have to find Assistant Directors Cheng Hu and Zhang. They are responsible for selecting the actors. I have no way to interfere in this matter."

    "Our crew is now recruiting the leading actor for the first movie. If you are interested, you can sign up." Zhang Zhichao said immediately: "Haha, since Mr. Lin and Director Hu intend to let us all sit together for dinner this time, they will  It means that everyone can communicate well and cooperate more."

    ??

    As soon as these words were spoken, the scene immediately became more lively.

    The door of the box opened, and Hu Chenghu appeared at the door. He said with a smile: "Everyone, I brought someone who you all never expected, but who you really want to see. Guess who it is?"

    Hu Chenghu¡¯s words immediately aroused the curiosity of people in the box, but everyone looked at me and me, but no one made any guesses.

    "Hey, hey. You guys are too uncooperative." Hu Chenghu said unhappily: "If you don't guess wrong a few times, how can you deserve the hard work I put in inviting people and picking them up?"

    "Is it Principal Zheng?" Someone finally guessed.

    Hu Chenghu shook his head and said: "Of course not, let me give you a hint, she is a woman."

    "Could it be Yue Yanting?"

    "Is it Guan Xue?"

    ??"It can't be Lu Youmei."

    A few more people guessed.

    When Lin Xiansong heard Yue Yanting's name, he couldn't help but raise his eyes and look behind Hu Chenghu, only to see Hu Chenghu shaking his head at him, and then said: "No, let me remind you again, she is our teacher at Longhua."

    "Nangong Yan" This time several people said at the same time.

    Hu Chenghu rolled his eyes and said, "I asked you to stop thinking about the five beauties and the twelve golden hairpins in Longhua."

    "Didn't you say you would bring someone we wanted to meet the most but were unexpected? What we said meets your conditions." Someone immediately retorted.

    "It's just that they're not the beauties you think of. Keep guessing." Hu Chenghu waved his hand and said.

    "Who said I'm not a beauty?" a voice came from behind Hu Chenghu.

    Hu Chenghu smiled bitterly and turned around and said: "Director Li, I was picked up by these guys, but no one thought that it was you. They didn't even think about it. Apart from you, there are also people who can make me run to greet you.  Who could it be?"

    As Hu Chenghu stepped aside and gave way, Li Yanran walked into the box.

    "Director Li"

    "Director Li Yanran"

    There was a burst of surprise at the Jiangnan Bayi table, and people at the other table were whispering. People who knew Li Yanran introduced her identity to others. Although Li Yanran was very prestigious in Longhua, because she was  A relatively unknown stage play director, there are many people who don't know her.

    Lin Xiansong stood up, walked to Li Yanran, and said, "Director Li, I really didn't expect that Cheng Hu would invite you."

    Li Yanran patted Lin Xiansong's shoulder naturally and said, "Xiansong, that's good. You've actually started to invest in film and television companies. When will you make a lot of money? Don't forget to sponsor some stage plays."

    Lin Xiansong smiled and said, "Why wait? If Director Li just says a word, I won't hesitate to lose everything."

    Li Yanran shook her head and said with a smile: "What you and Cheng Hu are saying is getting better and better. Now stage plays are a loss-making business. I can't kill the future of future entrepreneurs."

    Although Li Yanran¡¯s words were meant as a joke, they also revealed a hint of helplessness and sadness in the stage director¡¯s heart.

    ¡°As she said this, Li Yanran greeted Sun Wanliu and other members of the Jiangnan Eight Arts Stage Theatre.

    After asking Li Yanran to sit down, Lin Xiansong turned to Hu Chenghu and asked: "Chenghu, how did you know that Director Li is in Songhai now, and you didn't tell me in advance."

    Hu Chenghu glanced at Lin Xiansong angrily and said, "Xiansong, I'm not talking about you, it's the difference between caring and not caring. I didn't know that Director Li was in Songhai. Isn't this what I saw today?"  The old guys from the Jiangnan Eight Arts crew were having a party, so I just wanted to call Director Li, but Director Li said that she happened to be in Songhai right now."

    Li Yanran said: "I just arrived in Songhai yesterday. I originally planned to come to the school tomorrow to visit."

    Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhang Zhichao went out to ask the waiter to start serving the food. However, when he came back, his face was a little ugly. However, at this time, everyone's attention was on Li Yanran, Lin Xiansong, Ouyang Meihe and others.  Discovered his anomaly.

    After the dishes were served, everyone chatted while eating. Ouyang Meihe, Sun Wanliu and several other members of the Jiangnan Eight Arts stage drama agreed on the spot to play guest roles in the first film of Dream Film and Television. Li Yanran also agreed on the spot to promote the film.  You can use the words 'Friendly guest appearances by the original crew of Jiangnan Eight Arts'.

    It can be said that this meal was quite satisfying. Both the people from Dream Film and Television and the former members of the Jiangnan Eight Arts crew felt very satisfied in their stomachs and moods.

    Under this situation, no one would notice anything unusual about Zhang Zhichao, who was forcing a smile.

    After dinner, Lin Xiansong first sent Zhou Mengjie and Ouyang Meihe back to the dormitory, while Hu Chenghu, Sun Wanliu and other members of the Jiangnan Eight Arts crew invited Li Yanran to a teahouse, asked for a private room, and chatted while drinking tea.  Some stage plays and interesting things in life.

    After seeing off Zhou Mengjie and Ouyang Meihe, Lin Xiansong turned back to the teahouse. As soon as he opened the door of the private room, he heard Li Yanran say: "Hey, although the Jiangnan Eight Arts stage play has been a great success, it is  A wave of enthusiasm passes.¡±

    Probably because of Li Yanran¡¯s words, or maybe because Lin Xiansong came in, the entire private room suddenly became silent.

    "Director Li, hasn't the influence of the Jiangnan Eight Arts stage play allowed those businesses to see business opportunities?" Lin Xiansong broke the silence in the private room after sitting down.

    Li Yanran smiled bitterly and shook her head.He nodded and said: "This is not easy. There are many reasons why the Jiangnan Eight Arts stage play has sparked a craze. First of all, Cheng Hu's script is well written, and it has a popular star like Qingshang starring. Of course, the last  The key is to have a generous sponsor."

    "Xiansong, do you know how much ticket revenue is generated from the Jiangnan Eight Arts stage play tour? I won't tell you the specific number, but it's less than one-third of the promotional expenses."

    "How is this possible?" Hu Chenghu, Lin Xiansong, and Sun Wanliu all said softly.

    The touring performances of Jiangnan Eight Arts Stage Plays are very popular. Everywhere they go, they choose the largest theaters, and the venues are full. How can the box office revenue be so low?

    Li Yanran sighed softly and said: "If you purely count the box office revenue, it may not be low, but this box office revenue is obtained through bombardment of publicity, and the rental fees for those large theaters are also very high, so Jiangnan Eight  The art stage play seemed lively and successful, but in fact it was a huge loss."

    Li Yanran's words once again caused the private room to fall into silence. When we were eating just now, because we had just met, there were many people who dreamed of film and television were present, so everyone was talking about happy topics. At this time, when we came to the private room of the tea house, the atmosphere was  After calming down, everyone present was his students and disciples, so Li Yanran couldn't help but say something unpleasant.

    "Is Director Li here looking for sponsorship?" Lin Xiansong asked.

    Li Yanran nodded without hesitation and said, "I have a new notebook in my hand now, but the funds have not yet been secured."

    As the first director of Li Yanran¡¯s stage plays, she has to worry about sponsorship funds for every stage play. This shows the bleakness and decline of stage plays.

    "Actually, it's not difficult to find sponsors." Li Yanran continued: "But after finding sponsors, I have to be responsible for managing the crew's finances and other chores. Alas, it's complicated."

    Lin Xiansong saw Li Yanran¡¯s helpless and troubled face, so he decided to help her as much as possible. Li Yanran was a director he respected very much.  While cooperating in the Jiangnan Eight Arts stage play, he saw her dedication and learned that she was able to give up a lot for her pursuits and dreams.

    "How about this." Lin Xiansong suggested: "If Director Li doesn't mind, Dream Film and Television can set up a special stage crew, and you will be the crew leader. Those chores can be handled by the company's people, and you can concentrate on arranging the stage."  Just drama.¡±

    "That's not good." Li Yanran shook her head and said, "Your company has just started, so I can't put more burden on you."

    "Director Li, your joining will be very beneficial to increasing the visibility of our company." Lin Xiansong said: "In business terms, this is a mutually beneficial relationship."

    Li Yanran looked hesitant, but finally said: "Xiansong, I know your good intentions, but let me think about it."
