Chapter 8 Script
"The dispute between the crew of "Dragon" has resumed. Zhang Jizhong and Yu Min are suspected of being at odds! The crew has suspended filming!"
"Zhang Jizhong fired the deputy director of the crew and said: 'It is absolutely not allowed to use the back door to build relationships!'"
"Our reporter immediately interviewed the deputy director involved, but the other party has not responded yet."
"Revealing the personnel changes in the crew of "Dragon", it is suspected that the assistant director took it upon himself to change the actor's appearance!"
"Zhang Jizhong responded; 'The crew of "Dragon Movie" is open to the public. As long as the filming opinions are reasonable and valid, they will be adopted. This dismissal has nothing to do with the actor's change of appearance."
Yes, Cheng Yuan was fired by Zhang Jizhong.
The reason was that I joined the crew without going through the formal recruitment process, and I got two extra boxes of chicken legs, which was a waste of the crew's funds.
At the end of October, the weather had turned cooler, and Cheng Yu'an, Qin Ranqiu and Cheng Lingfeng returned to the capital.
Zhang Jizhong did not fire Qin Ranqiu, but he still quit in anger. As for Cheng Lingfeng, she was an extra who was just a one-man gang and she could leave whenever she wanted.
The three of them got off the train, Qin Ranqiu returned to his rented house, and Cheng Yu'an took Cheng Lingfeng to live in his rented house temporarily.
There was already a thin layer of dust in the room, and Dong Xuan had already taken away his belongings.
"Okay, I'm the one who got fired. I haven't done anything yet, so don't cry in despair."
Cheng Yu'an knew that Cheng Lingfeng had always been unfair to him, and it was obvious that he was too big a beard to tolerate others, and he suffered disaster as a result.
"This is what the industry is like. If you look at it from another angle, you have worked hard to make a movie, but an unknown boy has changed the look and even the script. Are you popular?" Cheng Yu'an spent more than ten years in the film and television industry in his previous life.
, this thing has long been commonplace.
"He fired you, and you still spoke for him!" Cheng Lingfeng shouted.
"I've been kicked out. What else can I do? Let's take it easy. Okay, stop standing and help me clean up. It's been unoccupied for two months and it's become a pig's nest." Cheng Yu'an started to pour water and clean it.
health.
Cheng Lingfeng rolled up her sleeves: "I don't even do any work at home, and yet you boss me around when I come here."
"Then you can be a rich lady at home, why do you have to come out to play a small role." Cheng Yuan said with a smile, "Hurry up and do it, I will show you something good after you do it."
The aunt and nephew worked for a long time before cleaning the house from the inside out. Cheng Lingfeng couldn't wait to ask: "What good things are there?"
"Wait a minute." Cheng Yu'an said as he took out his computer from the room, "You think I've been just hanging out on the set for the past two months. This is my big baby."
Cheng Yu'an patted his precious computer and opened a document.
"Let's see."
Cheng Lingfeng came over and saw on the screen:
"Phone Booth" script.
This movie was very famous in its previous life. It had few characters and simple scenes, but the rhythm was tense and exciting.
The important thing is that this movie has a low cost and a high box office.
It is the best choice for Cheng Yuan to make his debut.
Of course, Cheng Yuan made some localization modifications.
Half an hour later, Cheng Lingfeng finished reading the script.
Although she is a novice, her vision and aesthetics are very good. After watching it, she knew that the drama would be good as long as it was performed properly.
"Who should I play?" Cheng Lingfeng was already eager to try, "Zhao Junyi (the protagonist)'s wife or lover?"
"Be a lover, my wife, you are not suitable."
"Okay, when will the filming start?" Cheng Lingfeng couldn't wait.
"It's not that fast. I have to attract investment, find a distribution company, and recruit people to form a team. It will take half a month at the fastest."
"What kind of investment are you looking for? Our business will be settled by the two of us." The little rich woman patted her chest, looking like she was not short of money.
"Don't worry about money. I've done the calculations for this movie. I'll try to keep the production cost at 3 million. We'll pay 1.5 million and split the rest. Otherwise, who will show you the fun."
The two of them discussed the investment share, and Cheng Yuan sent her away:
"Hurry up and register a company."
"I know, I know." Cheng Lingfeng waved her hand.
After Cheng Lingfeng left, Cheng Yuan went back to school with the script. He was going to find his teacher to see if he could get distribution and investment.
Cheng Yuan's teacher is Professor Hou Kenming, and the teacher likes him very much.
Hou Keming saw the artistic side and the commercial side in Cheng Yu'an.
This mixture of contradictions naturally attracts artists.
Cheng Yu'an's current directing class has a lot of people, including the graduate class, there are 40 people. However, after graduation, they went their separate ways to film and film crews. So far, I have not heard of anyone who has mature ideas and mature scripts that can make a feature.
Hou Keming and other directing teachers sometimes really wish that their students would be shameless enough to come to them and say, "Teacher, I have a script I want to shoot, please take a look."
Teachers in the directing department sometimes think: "Our relationship is for you to leave, why don't you come?"
So Hou Kenming was extremely happy when he saw Cheng Yu'an coming to him with the script.
"Why did you offend Zhang Jizhong?" The person who spoke was Tian Zhuangzhuang from the same office.
There are no secrets in this circle, especially for these teachers, you can find out with just a little inquiry.
Xie Xiaojing, director of the directing department, laughed and said: "I heard that your kid was jumping up and down on the set, getting along well with people in all departments, and even changed the character styling finalized by Zhang Jizhong."
Cheng Yu'an was one of two seniors at this time. These teachers loved to make fun of him when he was in school, but he didn't expect that he would still be teased by them after graduation.
"You've brought a script? Come and take a look." Tian Zhuangzhuang saw Cheng Yu'an holding a stack of paper in his hand.
Hou Kenming waved his hand: "The child came to see me. If you need anything, go ahead." After saying that, he took the script.
Cheng Yu'an was very discerning. He had long expected that other teachers would be in the office and had already printed out the script. Each teacher had a copy, so no one was left behind.
After Hou Kenming read the script, he was very satisfied, but said: "It's a bit difficult to shoot your film in the mainland."
"I know, that's why I set the story in Hong Kong Island. I plan to go to film festivals first to see if I can sell the rights first, and then show it in Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia."
Hou Kerming looked at his students with an intimidating look, thinking very carefully.
"How much money is left?"
"The cost of this film will not be high. 3 million is enough for the full movie. I can raise 1.5 million myself. I think all the teachers can help." Cheng Yu'an chuckled.
When Hou Kerming heard this, he made a face: "I don't have 1.5 million to give you."
Of course Cheng Yuan knew that his teacher had no money, but that was not his intention, so he licked his face and said with a smile: "Qingying Factory is not..."
Qingying Film Studio was a studio affiliated with Beijing Film Academy, and Hou Keming was the director of Qingying Film Studio at that time.
"Okay, you have already made up your mind to come to school."
"Hey, there's nothing I can do about it. You will be the producer of this film and it will be posted under the Qingying Film Studio. All you need is a symbolic contribution of 4 to 50 million. Isn't it also to support the students' creation?"
Hou Kenming nodded. Qingying Film Studio could still come up with the four to five million yuan share, and then continued: "Let's talk about any other evil ideas."
