"Hello Director Li, I don't know why you are looking for me..." Peng Hui asked a little strangely, as he is a junior after all. "Well... first of all, I would like to thank Mr. Peng... for taking care of Shanshan."

"I wonder if Shanshan is..." Peng Hui was curious.

"She is my niece."

"Oh..." Peng Hui nodded, but he was still confused.

Is this why Li Lu is looking for him?

Let alone a niece, even a biological daughter is not worthy of having a director come to see her in person, right?

"Director Li..." Peng Hui asked strangely: "Aren't you supposed to be filming "In the Name of the People" now? How..."

"Oh?" Li Lu's eyes lit up and he asked with a smile, "Mr. Peng also knows about this drama?"

"Hey, look at you, you are Shanshan's elder, that is my elder, you can just call me Huizi, yes, I know this drama, but I am too young, so...

"Peng Hui was a little helpless.

Why doesn't he know that this drama is very good?

But the problem is...

He can't act in this drama!

If it were ten years... no, even if it was only five years later, he would accept this drama even if he was scolded, but he couldn't do it now.

He is just a newcomer, and he is still so young. He is too young to play a role like the director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau.

Of course, if it was just because of this, then Peng Hui would definitely overcome all difficulties to act.

However……

What makes him depressed is that he is simply not qualified for this drama!

Yes, accepting a role in the entertainment industry does not mean you can do whatever you want.

For such a high-level TV series, let alone you, a young fresh meat, even an old fresh meat 61 will be beaten in various ways.

The thing about being crushed in your acting skills is really...

But in this drama, the only role that Peng Hui can compete for is the leading actor Hou Liangping.

But given Peng Hui's celebrity status and the fact that he didn't have any company at the time, it was impossible for him to win this drama.

Yes, many people are not optimistic about this drama, but that doesn't mean that a person in his twenties with no background can play the leading role.

So in the end Peng Hui had no choice but to give up with regret.

Later, I signed a contract with Ying Bao's studio, and I didn't even think about this drama anymore.

However, now, the director of this drama has come to visit, and it would be a lie to say that he is not interested.

But he was still a little curious as to why Li Lu came to see him.

Li Lu smiled and changed his title decisively.

"I heard Shanshan call you Peng Peng, so I'll call you that too."

"Okay." Peng Hui nodded.

It's just a title anyway.

"Peng Peng." Li Lu asked with a chuckle: "I heard... you made a lot of money from the movie "Extreme Challenge"?"

With a thought in his heart, Peng Hui nodded.

"How many?" Li Lu asked subconsciously.

Then when he saw Peng Hui frowning, he said with some embarrassment: "That's right. You also know that I am filming "In the Name of the People", but this scene..."

"How much is missing?" Peng Hui asked.

Until now, how can you still not know Li Lu’s plan?

But this was a hugely profitable deal, and Peng Hui was very interested.

"This..." Li Lu was stunned, a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

"You are Shanshan's elder. Since you came to me, you can still get 18 million." Peng Hui said with a smile.

"Here is the script... take a look." Li Lu smiled awkwardly and took out the script and handed it to Peng Hui.

Peng Hui was not polite and picked up the script and started reading it.

Although he could no longer remember the content of the play, Peng Hui was very excited just by having the script in his hands.

In the dream, Peng Hui had not paid attention to this drama because he had to film. He only knew that this drama was the king of dramas throughout the year. Not only did it have high ratings, but it also had a phenomenal reputation and popularity.

But how, why, and why it is good are not clear.

Because he hasn't watched the show.

After all, Peng Hui himself doesn't like this kind of anti-corruption drama.

But just looking at this script, his whole body felt like his scalp was numb.

To this day, Peng Hui has read thousands of scripts, but among them, he was as shocked as when he was filming "The Wandering Earth"!

At this moment, Peng Hui finally understood why he had always felt that something was missing in the movie universe of his previous life.

It turns out that this is the sense of reality!

Of course, this was just what Peng Hui said. If he had said this to anyone else, I'm afraid he would have to be scolded to death.

Does the movie "Peng Baiyi" have no sense of reality?

So where did he get so much box office?

However, only Peng Hui knows that there is indeed a lack of depth in his own movie universe.

After all, he himself is not very old.

When I left the film industry, I was only less than 40 years old.

Being a director at the age of forty is really ordinary.

After closing the script, Peng Hui asked again: "Director Li, can you tell me how much money is missing from this play?"

"Twenty million!" Li Lu said seriously: "Twenty million is enough!"

"I read that there is a young man's role in the script?" Peng Hui asked with a smile.

Seeing Li Lu frowning, Peng Hui said with a smile: "I can invest 50 million."

Li Lu took a deep breath.

I know that Xiaoxianrou is very profitable, but I suddenly spent 50 million yuan...

"Peng Peng..." Li Lu said with a wry smile: "Do you know the total budget of this drama?"

"I don't know about this." Peng Hui shook his head.

"The average episode of this drama is two million, and the total is just over 100 million!"

"Oh..." Peng Hui nodded, but he was not surprised.

Two million per episode, but a lot of big names only have more than one hundred million?

Peng Hui was a little worried.

Seeing Peng Hui frowning, Li Lu asked strangely: "Peng Peng?"

"Director Li..." Peng Hui asked puzzledly: "As far as I know, there are more than 20 veteran actors in this play, right? With a cost of more than 100 million...how much are the actors' remuneration?"

"Uh - this is quite a lot." Li Lu said with some embarrassment: "A total of 48 million."

"In other words... less than two-thirds of the scenes are left for TV series production?" Peng Hui frowned.

In the entertainment industry, there is such a rule.

If the cost of a TV series is less than two-thirds of the total cost, then the show is a bad movie!

"Actually, it's enough." Li Lu explained in a dumbfounded voice.

It turns out that this is a modern drama. Although many scenes are expensive, they do not require any modifications. The main reason is that there are many costumes and personnel, so the funds are more expensive.

But in fact the production level is quite adequate.

Peng Hui nodded and felt relieved.

"Then Peng Peng... do you really want to invest 50 million?"

"Okay." Peng Hui nodded seriously.

Li Lu felt a little embarrassed.

"What? Is there a problem?" Peng Hui asked strangely.
