The next morning, Deng Yong arrived in Shanghai. Lin Chudong and Liang Yin went to pick him up at the station. Deng Yong was very polite when he saw them.
"Hello, Brother Fei, hello, General Manager Liang."
"Hello. Let's go to the company for a tour first, and then we'll try out the scenes later."
Deng Yong was young, handsome, and refined, and his acting skills were good.
He was at ease when he tried out several scenes at the company.
After the contract was signed, the filming start date was tentatively set for five days later.
After Deng Yong left, everyone had a meeting at the company.
Lin Chudong said, "The company will be getting into the film and television industry recently. Although you are all musicians, you are also the company's first core employees. There's no reason for you to be idle. Everyone will be extras and stagehands."
"Wang Zhi will follow the boss lady to handle business, and Old Chen will help with the meals. The rest of you will follow my instructions. We will start filming in five days."
"We will strive to finish filming at a rate of one episode per day. With five days for post-production and a week for review, our series can be online in a month at the earliest."
Although the series isn't filmed one episode at a time, it's no problem to proceed at a rate of one episode per day.
Liang Yin was a little excited, "We're going to film a series! I never dreamed of this. Da Fei, can I get a cameo?"
Lin Chudong said, "Of course."
The landlady's talented, and she's quite eye-catching as an extra.
"What about the female lead? Our script seems to depend on her, right?"
Lin Chudong nodded. "I just contacted her. She's a college student at the Film Academy."
Back when Lin Chudong was cursing Li Zhilin on set, he borrowed an electronic keyboard to sing "Partiality." That girl, Li Xiaomai, had a great look and temperament. Lin Chudong took an instant liking to her.
He contacted her this morning, and she agreed to a pay of 20,000 per episode.
When she was filming Swordsman Love, she only got 5,000 per episode. Upon hearing this price, Li Xiaomai readily agreed.
With the male and female leads confirmed, the rest depended on Lin Chudong's directing skills.
Just after the meeting ended, his phone suddenly rang. Lin Chudong looked at the caller ID and quickly answered.
"Sun Ge?"
"Da Fei, I have good news! I've officially joined the 2027 Spring Festival Gala's review committee, and I'm also a director in the song and dance group. Your program is practically a done deal. When are you free to come to Jingcheng?"
