Chapter 156: Talking

It is not uncommon for producers and investors to stuff actors into the crew and introduce some outsourced work to acquaintances. Some producers are even more open-minded and directly appoint their favorite young actors to play the leading roles, just to get along with them more.

Peng Hai has done stuff like stuffing people in before, but most of the time it is due to pressure from personal relationships. This time he chose Xu Rui to satisfy his personal preferences, but he believes that the audience will definitely like his selfishness this time.

As expected, Xu Rui's song is very suitable for the TV series "Dang Jiuzhou" in his ears. It has both majestic grandeur and desolate loneliness.

The long journey of pursuing immortality and the long-term disputes between humans, immortals, and monsters are what he feels like.

"Why don't you say anything? Do you accept it?" Peng Hai asked.

"It's not you who wrote it, why are you showing off!" Tang Xi said unhappily.

"Haha, if you don't answer directly, then you are convinced." Peng Hai held the phone, "I'll contact him and arrange the recording. Did I tell you that he wanted to come to visit?"

"Visit?" Tang Xi was slightly stunned.

"That means he didn't say it." Peng Hai explained, "Xu Rui wanted to bring Yan Ran here to observe and learn, and I agreed."

"Yan Ran..." Tang Xi heard the name a little familiar.

Peng Hai reminded him, "She directed "The Night the Comet Came", which is very popular and rated. She said she likes you very much."

Tang Xi suddenly realized, and then laughed, "I remembered, I watched the movie, it's pretty great, liking me or something, it should be just polite, but it's not bad to get to know each other."

"If it's just polite, he won't come to visit. After all, you are still famous in the domestic fairy drama circle." Peng Hai said while replying to Lu Ziliang, indicating that the song was decided.

After learning that the other party was satisfied, Xu Rui discussed the recording time with the other party and finally decided on it three days later. One was to polish the arrangement carefully, and the other was to give Yan Ran more time to stay at home with her parents.

…

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Xu Rui notified Yan Ran in advance and took the nanny car to pick her up in the morning.

Yan Ran and Lu Ziliang didn't meet often. It was the first time for her to take Xu Rui's nanny car. After getting in the car, she greeted Lu Ziliang and the driver and smiled at Xu Rui: "It's quite spacious."

Xu Rui didn't follow her topic to talk about the car, but asked directly: "Do our parents have anything for you to convey?"

"Convey? What?" Yan Ran was a little confused.

"Tsk." Xu Rui reminded her, "It's just to take good care of you in the future, and ask me to take care of your daughter. Don't say no, I don't believe it!"

"No, no!" Yan Ran rolled her eyes at him. With outsiders around, she couldn't play or interact intimately with Xu Rui.

But even so, Lu Ziliang still lowered his head and looked at the tablet in his hand carefully, making sure that he would neither disturb them nor be stimulated.

First, he went to the studio to record the song. Xu Rui was very efficient. In addition, he was the producer this time, so he had to control the voice and emotions by himself. After three recordings, he was done. Then he and Yan Ran went to meet Peng Hai and Tang Xi.

When they met, Peng Hai wore a newsboy cap. The reason was that he couldn't withstand the pressure in middle age and lost a lot of hair, which was a bit Mediterranean.

Of course, with Peng Hai's financial resources, wearing a wig or hair transplant is not a problem, and choosing to wear a hat is understandable.

Peng Hai is 1.75 meters tall, and Tang Xi next to him is only as tall as his shoulders.

Tang Xi wore a professional suit and flat shoes. Although she was a little short, her figure and skin were well maintained. She didn't look like a 40-year-old, and she looked like a female literary and artistic worker.

When they met, they greeted each other.

Yan Ran said she liked director Tang Xi, and it was not just a casual remark. She knew all of Tang Xi's works. Of course, with her emotional intelligence, she would not mention the work with a score of 3.9.

And her purpose of coming this time was also very clear, that is, she wanted to see the post-production of the fairy-tale theme and discuss with Tang Xi.

Yan Ran was talking to Tang Xi, while Peng Hai was talking to him: "I love the song "Sha Po Lang" so much, did you really finish it in one day?"

Xu Rui smiled and said: "The play is good. When I saw the outline of the script, I got inspiration in my mind, and the melody and lyrics jumped out of the paper."

Peng Hai was surprised: "Oh, you can talk."

Xu Rui said seriously: "Brother Peng, I'm serious."

Peng Hai was very pleased and laughed: "I believe it, okay, I regret that I asked someone else for the interlude and ending song, I should have asked you to do it."

"There will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future." Xu Rui was polite, but he refused in his heart. He hadn't finished recording his own album, and he didn't have so much time for interludes and ending songs.

"Yes, yes, there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future." Peng Hai was very happy.

When they were being polite, Tang Xi and Yan Ran's communication was much more sincere.

It can be seen that Yan Ran is really seeking advice, and Tang Xi is willing to share her experience. She showed Yan Ran a few shots that have not yet started post-production: "The scenes with wires are difficult to shoot. Most actors don't like wires. It's uncomfortable and risky. It's hard to maintain a good performance state after hanging for a long time.

And now there are very few real-life scenes. Almost all of them are shot in green-screen studios. For actors, it is a performance without physical objects, which is a great test of acting skills, but also a test of the ability to talk about and direct the play.

For example, this scene..."

Seeing the two people communicating harmoniously, Xu Rui was very happy. His girlfriend was so likable. He was a little worried before coming. After all, some people are willing to share, while others are too precious. Asking for advice may sometimes become covetous and offensive in the eyes of others.

When watching the shooting camera, an actor who appeared surprised Xu Rui a little. He turned his head to look at Peng Hai: "He is..."

Peng Hai was even more surprised: "Do you know him?"

Xu Rui said: "I loved watching his dramas when I was a child."

"That was quite young." Peng Hai was quite emotional, "The entertainment industry is like this, the back waves push the front waves, and the front waves die on the beach."

The actor they talked about was named Wen Zhaodong. More than ten years ago, he was considered a high-quality young actor of that era. At that time, a drama called "Confused Detective" he starred in was quite popular. Xu Rui's childhood memory left a deep impression on him.

Later, Wen Zhaodong disappeared. There were many rumors. Some said that he was raised by a rich woman. After becoming popular, he became arrogant and wanted to distance himself from the other party, but was tricked. Some said that he went abroad for further studies, and some said that he made enough money and retired at the peak of his career.

Seeing him suddenly play the role of male No. 7 or No. 8 in "Dang Jiuzhou", Xu Rui was quite uncomfortable: "Is he making a comeback?"

Peng Hai nodded: "I guess so."

Xu Rui asked tentatively: "What about the beginning?"

Peng Hai shook his head: "I don't know either."

As for whether he really didn't know or pretended not to know, Xu Rui didn't know.
