chapter Ten

After the supper was over, everyone separated, and Qin Ranqiu followed Cheng Yu'an back.

"Why didn't you tell me? Isn't this meal just to attract people to help?"

"The person is right there, let's contact him individually later," Cheng Yu'an said.

"You." Qin Ranqiu understood after a moment's thought, "You are just too soft-hearted. Chen Liang is in the movie. We are just happy for him. We also have our own things to do."

Qin Ranqiu knew that Cheng Yu'an was taking care of Chen Liang's mood.

Chen Liang first said that he would be the executive director for Xu Cainv, while Cheng Yuan said that he was preparing a feature-length theatrical film and wanted his classmates to help.

What would Chen Liang think? He would think that Cheng Yuan deliberately embarrassed himself in front of his classmates.

"Who is the protagonist in this book? He is pretending. Why should we pretend?" Qin Ranqiu said.

Cheng Yuan:???

"I mean, good things have to be shared with everyone."

Cheng Yu'an rolled his eyes, said goodbye to Qin Ranqiu and returned home.

Cheng Lingfeng happened to be there, and I don't know how she got here. She completed the registration of a media company in one day, and also rented two offices in CY District.

Named Distance Media.

Cheng Yu'an told Cheng Lingfeng the result of the discussion at the school, and Cheng Lingfeng muttered: "It's easy to do things at the college."

Cheng Yuan was startled, it was really true.

Let’s not talk about money. I am from a college. If I have an idea and a script, I can invite industry bigwigs like Hou Kening, Tian Zhuangzhuang, and Xie Xiaojing to read the script for me without making an appointment or spending money.

Through their relationship, he was able to get China Film Distribution, borrow the crew of Qingying Film Studio, and even get investment from the academy - a small investment of hundreds of thousands was okay, but a large production worth tens of millions was out of the question.

To form a team, just give a shout in the class, and the classmates around you are all from majors, including screenwriters, assistant directors, producers, and photographers, and they can all be recruited quickly.

These are resources that are difficult for non-academic directors to have.

To put it bluntly, the entertainment industry is still a circle. Colleges may not be able to teach you advanced skills, but the connections in several major colleges are really useful.

We are all brothers and sisters, and we all live in the same circle, so it is normal to help each other.

Therefore, when Cheng Yu'an called his classmates one by one and said that he was preparing for a play and wanted to invite his classmates to come to the crew to help, everyone was surprised.

Guo Fei smiled on the other end of the phone and said, "That's what I'm eating for tonight. I didn't say it out of concern for Chen Liang's face."

"Sister Feifei still understands my little brother's heart best." Cheng Yu'an flattered him.

"In terms of age, you are the youngest in the class, but you are 'very clever'." Guo Fei joked, and happily agreed to join the team as the assistant casting director.

Huang Ke had the same idea and agreed to be the on-site assistant director for Cheng Yuan.

Ge Shan thought for a while and said that he had accepted a script from another company and had no time to cooperate with Cheng Yu'an.

Cheng Yu'an also understood that there was no force. As for Chen Liang, Cheng Yu'an didn't call him because there was no need.

According to the memory of later generations, most of the 98-level directing class did well. Except for a few who dropped out, there were directors, screenwriters, and producers.

For example, Huang Ke later wrote "Before Dawn".

Chen Liang also independently directed a theatrical film, starring the popular Peng Peng.

…

The script was taken by Hou Keming to the Academy for evaluation, and it was put under the name of Qingying Film Studio. With this name, China Film Distribution was not a problem.

The next day, Cheng Yu'an was awakened by a call from Hou Kenming, asking him to go to the Yindu Agency's office in Beijing.

It seems wrong to call it an office. Yindu Agency is a state-owned enterprise with its headquarters in Beijing, but generally people prefer to think of it as a Hong Kong film company.

In this way, it has become the country's only large-scale state-owned film enterprise abroad.

When we arrived at Yindu's Beijing office, the negotiation process was not smooth. With the decline of Hong Kong films, Yindu's strength was also declining day by day. The sun was setting on Yindu in 2002, but he only had one breath left.

Yindu does not have its own theater chain, and most of its distribution channels are cooperation with other theater chains, so Cheng Yu'an's idea of ​​​​taking Yindu was in vain.

However, Yindu sold the school's face. After all, he was Hou Kenming, Tian Zhuangzhuang and Xie Xiaojing's favorite disciple, and finally agreed to invest a small part. In addition, he promised to help find a partner in Hong Kong Island, and Yindu, as the joint issuer, would

Participated in the release of "Sniper Phone Booth".

Cheng Yu'an thanked him and walked out of the office with Hou Kenming.

"What? This little problem stumps you?" Hou Kenming said with a smile.

"That's not true. For a feature-length movie, it would be abnormal if everything went smoothly." Cheng Yu'an had already been mentally prepared.

"That's right. You go back and gather the actors first. The college will also give you some support." Hou Kenming patted Cheng Yu'an on the shoulder. He had high hopes for his student.

Back at the company, Cheng Yuan told Cheng Lingfeng about the silver supervisor, and Cheng Lingfeng was a little depressed.

Cheng Yu'an didn't worry too much about investment and distribution, and asked Guo Fei: "Sister Fei, how is the casting going?"

"According to our preliminary plan, the roles of the police force, the technician, the chicken head, and the delivery boy were handed over to the Hong Kong Island partners to show our sincerity. We are going to find Liu Huohua as the male protagonist Zhao Junyi. The sniper does not need to appear on the scene, but the sound conditions must be good.

We are in contact with Teacher Wang Zhiwen. The two female characters, Zhao Junyi’s lover is played by Lingfeng, and the wife is played by Senior Sister Zeng Li. We contacted Senior Sister Zeng Li yesterday, but there has been no reply yet.”

"What is Senior Sister Zeng Li doing now?" Although we are not from the same school, everyone knows Zeng Li.

This is the most beautiful woman in Chinese dramas for 200 years. Everyone in Beijing's new entertainment circle has heard of this great beauty. How many people want to kiss Fangze but can't.

"I just finished filming CCTV's "Men and Women", cooperating with Lu Yi and Lin Xinru, and it is scheduled to be broadcast in April. Senior sister should return to the art troupe at this time."

"Tomorrow you take the script to the art troupe and ask her what she means."

"good."

"Liu Huohua can't do it. He's too tall and handsome, and has the wrong temperament. I want an actor who's not that good-looking and a bit naughty. Teacher Wang Zhiwen's lines and voice are really good. If he wants, he can be cast. Oh, by the way,

Our budget is limited, and the total remuneration of the actors should not exceed 400,000, otherwise it will affect the production."

After arranging the company's affairs, Cheng Yu'an returned home. Cheng Lingfeng stayed there for a few days and then moved out to live by herself.

I came back late at night and didn’t even have hot food to eat.

Fortunately, he was not hungry, so Cheng Yuan turned on the computer and continued writing the script.

I kept writing until 10 o'clock in the evening when Cheng Yu'an stopped. He was very hungry.

Just about to go out to look for food.

Bang bang bang, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it? It's coming." Cheng Yu'an put on her shoes and went to open the door.

Standing at the door was a tall girl with long hair, wearing a white shirt, a small coat, and flaxen dyed hair.

Weared light makeup.

Gao Lu, is studying in the 00-level performance department of China National Opera.

Why does Cheng Yuan know?

Because she is a creature called an ex-girlfriend.

Gao Lu was holding two big bags of things in her hands: "Hurry up and help me. It's so far, I'm exhausted."

Cheng Yu'an took two bags, which were full of food, including wine, vegetables, rice and soup.

"What are you doing?"

"I knew you hadn't eaten, so I invited you to eat."

"You have nothing to do to show your courtesy, what do you want to do?" Cheng Yu'an glanced at Gao Lu's belly after saying this, "You are not asking me to settle the score because you are pregnant, right? We broke up for more than a year, don't rely on me."

Gao Lu rolled her eyes: "Every time the protective measures are so good, why are you pregnant? Don't be suspicious, I just want to treat you to a meal. Do you want to eat? If you don't eat, I'll throw it away!"

As he was about to pick up the bag and leave, Cheng Yu'an stopped him: "Don't waste things."

"That's it." Gao Lu helped arrange the dishes and chopsticks.

Gao Lu even brought two bottles of Erguotou. Cheng Yuan said, "Did you do it on purpose?"

Anyone who knows Cheng Yuan knows that he can drink beer but not liquor.

How bad is Cheng Yuan's liquor? To put it exaggeratedly, it will be poured if it touches your tongue.

"Isn't this a celebration for you being in the movie? Why don't you have some drinks? Come on, come on, come on, come on." Gao Lu is a big girl in the capital. In terms of drinking, five Cheng Yu'an's combined can't beat her.

That is, when she chased him, she pretended to be drunk so that Cheng Yuan could succeed.

"How did you know I was filming?"

"You, Mr. Hou, have been very busy these days. You will know if you ask around a little bit."
