Chapter 239 A small witch meets a big witch

After hanging up the phone with Zhang Ziyi, Liu Yifei asked casually out of curiosity.

"Who?"

Li Chen stood up and sat beside her, placing her fair and round calves on his legs.

He smiled and said, "Your senior sister!"

"Senior Sister?" Liu Yifei muttered.

Suddenly reacted: "Zhang Ziyi?"

Li Chen nodded, and Liu Yifei said with a smile: "What senior sister!"

"She's asking for a role too? Director Li will be in a difficult position."

"Her fiancé is a major shareholder of Warner, are you afraid?"

Liu Yifei sat up mischievously with a funny look on her face.

Li Chen laughed: "Don't be afraid!"

"My fiancée is a fairy sister, why would she be afraid of a mortal like him?"

Liu Yifei blushed and asked excitedly, "Who is your fiancée?"

The two were flirting when Li Chen's phone rang.

Liu Yifei glanced at the caller ID and sat up straight: "Answer it. Mr. Han probably has something to talk to you about again."

Li Chen picked up the phone, and Han Sanping said straight to the point: "Come to China Film Academy in no time, I have something to tell you."

Li Chen sighed helplessly, their rare time together as a couple was disturbed again.

But he happened to have something to ask Han Saping.

When Li Chen arrived at Han Saping's office, Han Saping was still answering the phone.

The secretary poured Li Chen a cup of tea and left.

Li Chen listened and it seemed to be Chen Kaige.

After Han Sanping hung up the phone, Li Chen asked casually with a smile: "Boss Han, what's the good news?"

I just heard Han Sanping say, "One at most."

It sounded like Chen Kaige was asking Han Saping for help.

Han Sanping stood up and walked around the desk, saying with a smile, "Of course it's a good thing, so you're the first person I thought of."

"I just didn't expect these guys to have super hearing. You just heard it. Old Chen also had his eye on it and wanted two roles."

Li Chen was a little surprised: "Who is Director Chen asking for the role?"

Han Sanping sat down slowly and took a sip of tea before saying, "He himself and Chen Hong."

Now Li Chen was a little surprised. What good project did Han Sanping have that made the couple interested?

Could it be The Founding of a Republic? Li Chen suddenly thought of this movie. It seemed that only this movie could attract Chen Kaige.

As expected, Han Sanping laughed and said, "Not only Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Chenglong and other good and evil committee members are like cats smelling blood."

Han Sanping glanced at Li Chen and said, "This is the benefit of joining an organization. People like you who work alone are isolated from the news and will be late to realize it."

Li Chen smiled nonchalantly: "Don't you, Mr. Han, have you here? Even if we are late to the party, we can still be the first to arrive."

Han Sanping laughed out loud: "You are really good at talking."

"Okay, let's get down to business. I asked you to come here so that you can choose first."

"I gave two roles to Feng Xiaogang and Lao Chen, and I'll give you three. I hope I'm not treating you unfairly."

"This is a tribute film for next year. It has extraordinary significance. I'm sure you will understand."

Li Chen already understood in his heart and nodded: "Thank you, Mr. Han."

"There are too few roles. I want seven."

Han Sanping was stunned. He didn't expect Li Chen to ask for such a huge amount of money.

After a long while, he said unhappily, "Should I find you another Snow White? Do you think this is a fairy tale?"

"If this news gets out, let alone seven, it's normal for celebrities to fight for one role. I gave you three, and you're still asking for more."

Li Chen laughed and said, "Why are you so anxious, Mr. Han? Just listen to me." Han Saping glared at Li Chen and thought that this guy was a bastard who would not let go once he bit someone.

"On the surface, you give me three, and let them audition for the remaining four. Whether they pass or not is up to you."

"You and I both know this very well, and no one can say anything. Don't worry, I have already thought of the four people who will audition."

"Zhou Xun, Zhu Yawen, Deng Chao, Zhang Yi."

"None of these four rely on their looks to make a living, so they won't make things difficult for you."

Han Saping was about to refute.

Li Chen added: "As for me, I guess your script is not yet complete, right?"

"I am the top screenwriter in the country. I will help you with the polishing. You just need to sign your name in the screenwriter column when the time comes."

Han Sanping was a little confused. He counted on his fingers and found that there were a total of seven artists under the banner of Rongchen Pictures, including Liu Yifei.

Han Sanping was so angry that he laughed. Looking at this shameless man, he really wanted to give him a big slap in the face.

"So you're not satisfied with the seven characters, and you want to add another screenwriter, ha, ha, ha."

Li Chen was not embarrassed when Han Sanping pointed out his intentions. Instead, he smiled and said, "Boss Han, I'm the screenwriter. Are you still unsure?"

"If you're not satisfied, I'll just have three roles as you said. Is that okay?"

Han Sanping didn't say anything, but looked at Li Chen with narrowed eyes.

Li Chen took a sip of tea and ignored it.

After a while, Li Chen changed the subject and said, "President Han and I are very close friends. I asked you to come here today because I have something good in mind for you."

Han Sanping snorted twice: "Just don't set a trap for me with your good deeds."

Li Chen laughed and said, "What are you thinking? When have I, Li Chen, ever set a trap for you?"

"What's the matter? Tell me."

Li Chen leaned forward, approached Han Sanping and said, "There is also a role suitable for you in our co-production. I want you to play it."

Han Sanping sneered: "How is it possible? I am the chairman of China Film Group, how could I do that?"

Before Han Sanping could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Chen: "2000 million!"

Han Sanping was stunned: "What do you mean 2000 million?"

Li Chen smiled and said, "2000 million yuan for the film? I think this salary is not unfair to your status?"

Han Sanping chuckled at first, then pointed at Li Chen and laughed out loud: "You kid, you really dare to think, even if you dare to give, do I dare to accept it?"

Li Chen also laughed and said, "Who said I would give it to you?"

Han Sanping was stunned again: "What do you mean?"

Li Chen said seriously: "Your pay is what it should be. I will make up the rest later."

"By the way, Mr. Han, I'm afraid your daughter will have to follow this path in the future."

Han Saping really started to look at this kid Li Chen with new eyes.

Having said that, it really feels like a small witch compared to a big witch.

Even if I give him three roles, the pay is still not as high as the pay he gives me for one role.

Han Sanping was a little tempted, but when he thought about the fact that this Sino-US co-production might have to be shot abroad, he realized he couldn't spare the time.

"I appreciate your kindness, but forget it."

Li Chen nodded, not forcing it: "It's okay, Mr. Han, there's a long way to go."

"Your pay will never be lower than this level with me."

Han Sanping snorted and laughed: "You are really shameless to use this to test the cadres!"

When Li Chen left China Film Group, he was holding a draft of "The Founding of a Republic" in his arms.

This was too easy for him. He could finish the script of "The Founding of a Republic" in a week at most.

But to be on the safe side, let's pretend for a whole month.
