On Saturday night, Xiang Nan drove to Yanjing Hotel, entered the box, and saw Zhu Lin already waiting there.
"Miss Zhu, I'm so sorry, I'm late." Xiang Nan apologized quickly when he saw her.
"You're welcome, I just arrived." Zhu Lin waved his hand with a cold attitude.
Xiang Nan was keenly aware of this and felt something in his heart. Then he smiled and said, "Then let's order food first, okay?"
"Okay." Zhu Lin nodded.
"What does Miss Zhu like to eat?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.
"Whatever." Zhu Lin said calmly.
Xiang Nan nodded and ordered a few hard dishes and a pot of freshly squeezed lotus root juice.
After a while, the food and wine were served.
Xiang Nan personally poured Zhu Lin a drink, "Miss Zhu, please~"
"Thank you." Zhu Lin said, his attitude still cold.
"How is it? Did the filming go well?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile, "I heard that the crew is going to southern Xinjiang for filming?"
"Yes, the art center has a total investment of 400,000 yuan. If we don't go to southern Xinjiang, we won't be able to shoot big scenes with this little money." Zhu Lin nodded. When it came to filming TV series, she obviously talked a lot.
Xiang Nan nodded. As the saying goes, once the gun goes off, there is ten thousand taels of gold.
Although the TV series is anti-counterfeiting, to shoot big scenes requires a large number of extras, guns, tanks, and explosions to make them realistic.
And every second of this is burning money. 400,000 yuan, it is estimated that all of it will be burned after filming a battle. If you go to southern Xinjiang, you will save a lot of money with the cooperation of the army.
"Then you have to be careful. Southern Xinjiang is not peaceful yet, so be sure nothing happens." Xiang Nan warned.
There are still sporadic artillery fires in southern Xinjiang, which lasted until ** before the war completely ended.
"It doesn't matter. We are filming in the rear area and not close to the front line. It should be fine." Zhu Lin waved his hand.
"That's good." Xiang Nan nodded.
…
Afterwards, the two chatted while eating, mainly about filming.
Xiang Nan inherited Fang Yifan's acting skills and is no stranger to filming, so the conversation was very in tune.
Zhu Lin's attitude also gradually softened, from being cold and guarded to being gentle and approachable, and finally he was chatting and laughing with Xiang Nan.
After finishing the meal, Xiang Nan suggested taking Zhu Lin home, "Miss Zhu, I have a car, so I'll give you a ride."
"Professor Cheng, I want to make it clear to you that I am not a casual woman. I am only willing to come today because I owe Feng Xiaogang a favor." Zhu Lin waved his hand.
"Ms. Zhu, don't get me wrong. I just like the character you played, and I just want to treat you to a meal. I have absolutely no other unreasonable thoughts." Xiang Nan waved his hand and smiled, "But I am very curious, what exactly does Feng Xiaogang do? How did you do it to convince you to come?"
Hearing his question, Zhu Lin smiled bitterly and told what Feng Xiaogang had done.
It turns out that Feng Xiaogang has been hanging around Zhu Lin these days in order to let Zhu Lin owe him a favor.
Not mentioning the daily greetings and asking questions, or serving tea and water. I heard that my parents were old and couldn't move the cabbage and briquettes stored in the winter, so I went to work as a migrant worker and spent a whole day moving them.
Zhu Lin felt really sorry, so he finally agreed to come over and have a meal with Xiang Nan.
When Xiang Nan heard this, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
Feng Xiaogang was thin and withered, with only a few ounces of flesh. Carrying hundreds of kilograms of cabbage and hundreds of kilograms of briquettes was indeed enough for him.
"I see." Xiang Nan nodded, "Okay, thank you, Miss Zhu, for coming today. It's really too presumptuous. I solemnly apologize to you. In fact, I just told Xiaogang that I like to watch your acting. But he misunderstood and did so many things, I'm really sorry."
"Oh, it doesn't matter. Since it is a misunderstanding, it will be fine if it is resolved." Zhu Lin waved his hand, "To be honest, if this matter is excluded, I am still very happy tonight."
"Thank you." Xiang Nan nodded, "Then let me take a taxi for you."
"Okay." Zhu Lin nodded.
…
On the way back, Xiang Nan was not too disappointed.
Judging from today's interaction, Zhu Lin obviously doesn't hate him.
This is the first step to success, and with a good start, the rest will be much easier.
He had seen many reserved and conservative beauties like Zhu Lin before. Compared with those girls who show off, beauties like her are actually easier to pursue.
Because their emotional experiences are usually relatively simple and they are easily deceived. Moreover, they have a relatively high sense of morality, strong self-discipline, and have certain norms and guidelines for life.
Therefore, as long as you understand their habits and prescribe the right medicine, you can hit them with one hit.
On the contrary, the most difficult to pursue are often those women who wander around in love and are uninhibited. They have rich emotional experiences, are well-informed, and rarely get emotional. When I'm with them, I don't know whether I'm playing with them or being played by them.
…
Suddenly, Xiang Nan called Feng Xiaogang and asked him to help find out Zhu Lin's information.
Family information, personality hobbies, emotional experiences, etc.
Feng Xiaogang agreed wholeheartedly.
In less than a week, Feng Xiaogang organized the collected information and handed it to Xiang Nan.
After Xiang Nan saw it, he admired his hard work.
This information is detailed and true. It is not dry information in a personal file, but full of details and fireworks.
"You asked about it from Zhu Lin's colleagues and neighbors, right?" Xiang Nan said with a smile.
"Oh, you are really amazing. That's right, I went to Sister Lin's colleagues and neighbors to inquire about the news, and I was almost caught by the neighborhood committee aunt as a bad guy." Feng Xiaogang scratched his head and said.
Xiang Nan smiled and nodded, "Xiaogang, thank you for your hard work. Just in time, I wrote a script for the Television Art Center. You can help polish it, and you can be credited as a screenwriter later."
"Oh, thank you~" Feng Xiaogang almost saluted after hearing this.
Xiang Nan is now a top writer in China, and every one of his works is well-known. After writing someone else's script, do you still need to polish it?
Moreover, it is such a blessing for him to have his name on someone else's script. It is no exaggeration to say that as soon as the filming of this script started, he jumped over the dragon gate and became worth a hundred times.
From then on, he was a great screenwriter, no longer a bullshit art assistant. He could direct everything he directed as a person.
"Okay, you don't have to be so polite." Xiang Nan waved his hand, "That's how I am. You help me and I help you. I am definitely worthy of my friends."
"Yes, when people in the circle hear your name, they all give thumbs up to you." Feng Xiaogang said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will definitely take care of Sister Lin for you. If there is any big or small matter, I will report it to you as soon as possible. You report to ensure you get first-hand information.”
"Okay, let's go." Xiang Nan nodded, and then threw the script to Feng Xiaogang.
When Feng Xiaogang took a look, he saw two big characters "Desire" written on the script.
