Chapter 44 The Active Reba
Dilraba already knew that Chen Jingyuan had arranged a leading role for her.
The only thing I didn't expect was that the female lead in a period drama with a budget of 200 million yuan would be cast right from the start.
Take "Diamond Lover" as an example; it only cost 1.5 million to produce!
A large portion of the money was used to pay the salaries of the main actors, so the actual production costs were definitely reduced.
However, this time it's different; it's a period drama with an investment of 200 million yuan.
She still plays the lead role, which is almost like a meteoric rise for Dilraba.
Previously, even playing a supporting role was a very difficult task.
Dilraba's initial excitement has turned into a calm, somewhat anxious feeling.
Am I capable of playing this role well?
Chen Jingyuan must have felt a lot of pressure choosing himself, a relatively unknown actress, as the female lead.
This is a 200 million investment!
A jumble of thoughts rushed into Reba's mind.
Right now, all she wants to do is rush into that warm embrace.
This is what Dilraba thought, and this is what she chose to do.
Chen Jingyuan chose to wait for Dilraba at a high-end restaurant so they could have lunch together.
I got up at five in the morning to rush to the airport, and my flight at six-thirty didn't land in Yanjing until ten o'clock.
After leaving the airport, I took the subway to the city center and then a taxi to a restaurant in the Jiaxing Yanjing location.
The online reviews seem pretty good, and after Chen Jingyuan arrived, we were waiting for Dilraba.
About half an hour later, Dilraba appeared!
Chen Jingyuan happened to see this person getting off a large car.
"Mr. Chen!"
When Dilraba saw Chen Jingyuan sitting in a corner of the restaurant with a joyful expression, she took two steps forward and hugged him tightly.
They haven't seen each other since they spent New Year's Eve together.
After filming wrapped on "Diamond Lover", Dilraba attended several events with Yang Mi.
The Lunar New Year is just around the corner!
Chen Jingyuan was in a similar situation, and the two fell back into their previous online relationship.
Fortunately, after breaking through that barrier, their relationship continued to steadily improve.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder!
Chen Jingyuan could feel the longing that Reba was feeling in his arms.
This is the first time I've seen Dilraba take the initiative in public.
There are reasons such as the long time since we last saw each other, and it could also be because of the female lead in "Goodbye My Princess".
Several factors have made Dilraba even more enthusiastic about Chen Jingyuan than before.
"Let go of my hands and take a seat, but there are quite a few people watching."
Chen Jingyuan whispered softly in Reba's ear.
This sudden embrace attracted a lot of attention, especially since it was from such a beautiful woman from Xinjiang.
Dilraba blushed upon hearing these words, but quickly released Chen Jingyuan.
Customers in some of the surrounding restaurants turned their attention away!
In their eyes, this should be a college student couple who have been separated for a long time.
After Chen Jingyuan and Dilraba were seated, various dishes began to be served.
"Let's try the dishes at this restaurant first!"
Chen Jingyuan spoke first, and Dilraba naturally wouldn't refuse.
However, while Chen Jingyuan ate quite a lot of food, Dilraba only took a few bites and spent most of her time looking at Chen Jingyuan.
His gaze was fixed on Chen Jingyuan as if he wanted to imprint him into his eyes.
Even Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but feel a little moved when faced with such a gaze.
"You'll stay by my side for the next few days."
"Come with me to meet the director and others, so we can cooperate better during filming."
...
After finishing his meal, Chen Jingyuan started talking about serious business.
"good!"
Dilraba nodded in reply.
Next, Chen Jingyuan took Reba's hand and walked out of the restaurant towards a nearby upscale hotel.
This is the hotel he booked before, but he hasn't checked you in yet.
After entering a standard double room, Dilraba turned around and stared intently at Chen Jingyuan.
A pair of soft arms tightly embraced Chen Jingyuan's waist.
Chen Jingyuan could clearly smell a faint fragrance emanating from Dilraba.
I can't tell if it's the scent of perfume or something else, but it smells really nice.
"Mr. Chen, I miss you!"
Dilraba whispered in Chen Jingyuan's ear.
Since things had already progressed to this point, Chen Jingyuan naturally wouldn't hold back.
Not to mention, Chen Jingyuan was quite provoked and directly picked up Dilraba and walked into the room.
It was dusk!
Chen Jingyuan and Dilraba finally woke up slowly.
After their passionate lovemaking, the two managed to catch up on some sleep.
After waking up, the two didn't rush to get up; instead, they each checked their messages on their phones.
Chen Jingyuan saw in the WeChat group that Liu Yang and others were discussing which editors to invite to adapt the script.
Turning her head, she saw Dilraba on the other side, secretly laughing, seemingly unaware of what she was seeing on her phone.
"Celebrities are actually not much different from ordinary people in private."
Chen Jingyuan couldn't help but think to himself, "Often, being aloof is just an act."
"Today, Sister Honey is holding the company's new year meeting."
"They say the company has secured 300 million in funding!"
"They even specifically asked me about some of your projects, and I answered them truthfully."
...
Suddenly, Reba turned around and started talking about what had happened that morning.
I had forgotten about this because I was so focused on seeing Chen Jingyuan.
"It doesn't matter what the answer is; Tencent Video will announce these projects in a while."
Chen Jingyuan didn't care about this matter; he was aware that telling Dilraba was essentially telling Yang Mi that.
What he was more concerned about was that Yang Mi's bet had already begun.
Jiaxing needs to achieve a net profit of 3.1 million yuan over the next three years, otherwise it will need to repurchase shares at an annualized rate of 15%.
Currently, celebrities' film and television salaries and various endorsements are not low.
However, earning such a net profit in three years is not so easy.
He didn't dwell on it much; that was something Yang Mi should worry about.
Besides, he had already completed it before his rebirth, so there's no reason why he couldn't complete it with Reba's help!
Reba smiled broadly in response to Chen Jingyuan's words.
She knew that Chen Jingyuan wouldn't care about such a small matter.
"Look, these people are really calling me 'sister' just to get resources!"
Dilraba quickly leaned closer and showed Chen Jingyuan the content on her WeChat account, her words clearly tinged with pleasure.
There are many inquiries from the first batch of artists signed by Jaywalk Studio.
They asked quite a few questions, such as when the audition would be held or which director it would be.
Including Zhang Yunlong, with whom I had previous contact!
Chen Jingyuan wasn't surprised to see these people calling Reba "Sister".
Resources represent everything; even if you're younger, you still have to bow your head.
The questions asked didn't seem to be asked randomly!
Knowing the director in advance and being able to visit them beforehand or leverage connections can be advantageous.
For example, if someone is a graduate of the Beijing Film Academy, they can ask their teacher to help make some connections.
We don't necessarily have to start entirely from Dilraba's side!
"It wouldn't be a problem to select more people from Jiaxing this time."
Chen Jingyuan looked at Dilraba's happy expression, thought for a moment, and then slowly spoke.
The meaning is quite clear: to get Dilraba to do some favors.
"East Palace" is a large-scale historical drama, and it has a considerable number of supporting roles.
It doesn't matter who gets the role!
