Chen Ming was about to hang up the phone and move his chopsticks. Sun Qingxuan's voice suddenly appeared in Chen Ming's ears, making Chen Ming a little at a loss.
"what chance?"
"Are you interested in making this year's New Year's film?"
Sun Qingxuan asked bluntly.
New Year film?
Chen Ming glanced at the date.
Sister!
Today is January 2nd!
There are only forty-three days until the New Year is over. Is it a little late to think of making a New Year film now?
Chen Ming didn't even know how to answer.
Sun Qingxuan suddenly lost his ability to deal with Chen Ming.
After hesitating, Chen Ming smiled awkwardly and said, "It's too late."
To make a movie, you need to write a script, recruit actors, audition, arrange a schedule, and after shooting, you need to edit, dub, add special effects, and submit it for review.
With this set up, more than forty days is too hasty.
Moreover, Chen Ming didn't really want to film before the Chinese New Year. The old dean passed away and he wanted to go back to Su's house to spend time with his family.
"My idea is to make a family-friendly New Year's film. You should think about it again. If you really feel that you are in a hurry and don't have time, then wait until the end of next year."
Sun Qingxuan said frankly.
The night of New Year's Eve is a time for family reunion.
Sun Qingxuan's idea is very simple.
To make a heartwarming family movie, it does not require high quality, as long as it can highlight the theme of warmth.
You can even make a short film.
Chen Ming has just become the best actor, and the most important thing he needs to do is to take advantage of the hottest period of time to stabilize his position, and the New Year film is a good opportunity.
Chen Ming originally wanted to refuse, but when he heard the word "family affection", he fell silent.
After a long time, Chen Ming said softly: "Okay, I will think about the script in the next few days and go to Kyoto in about three days."
Hearing this, Sun Qingxuan did not disturb Chen Ming again.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Ming asked Guan Zi to eat, but he seemed a little absent-minded.
Guan Zi didn't ask any questions, just ate quietly, and then followed Chen Ming back to the hotel.
At night, Chen Ming was lying on the bed, and it was snowing outside.
It snows almost all year round in Qiqibeihar. Sometimes, after one night, the snow can cover half of the windows.
Lying on the bed, Chen Ming was tossing and turning.
Maybe it's because of my longing in my heart that I want him to make a family-type movie.
The next day.
Chen Ming began to seriously think about the plot of the New Year film.
There are many movies about family love, such as "Hello, Li Huanying" and the classic "Yangtze River No. 7" when we were young.
But the vast majority are about mothers and fathers.
There are not many movies between grandfathers and grandchildren.
Fortunately, Chen Ming happened to have one in his mind.
"Heaven Replies".
This movie has a rating of 9.1 on Douban. It is a very classic domestic tear-jerking movie.
The story told is between a grandfather who retired from the post office and his grandson Chenchen. At the end of the movie, the grandfather passed away, and Chenchen sent the greeting card to his grandfather to heaven with a kite.
Many people may not have seen this movie, or even heard of it.
Just because it was released too early.
1992!
This year, "Heaven Replies" was released.
Maybe you haven't been born yet at this time, maybe you have just landed at this time, but this movie is really worth watching.
Chen Ming wants to move this film to China's Lunar New Year film.
Thinking of this, Chen Ming began to recall the plot of "Reply from Heaven".
It only took half a day for Chen Ming to write the script. Some of the words in it related to going abroad, but Chen Ming changed them to go on a business trip to a far away place.
After all, there is only one Chinese country in the entire Blue Star.
Chinese people don’t know what it means to go abroad.
Of course, if you replace the word "going abroad" with "chuzhou", it will become easier to understand.
Chen Ming basically spent the rest of the time chatting with Guan Zi.
At first, Guan Zi was very shy.
But once the relationship becomes familiar, she will become very talkative.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
Chen Ming and Guan Zi packed their things and headed to the airport in Beihar, Qiqi.
the other side,
After Sun Qingxuan learned of Chen Ming's idea, she immediately began to inform Li Youwei about preparing a New Year's film. Before Chen Ming came to Kyoto, all the preliminary preparations must be completed.
As soon as the script was released, actors were recruited and auditioned, and then filming officially started.
It will be very compact in the middle!
No time can be lost.
If it weren't for Sun Qingxuan's call, the tickets Chen Ming and Guan Zi bought were to fly back to Yuncheng, but now they were changed to go to Kyoto.
In desperation, Chen Ming could only call Su Rou and said that he was going to Kyoto for a while and needed to deal with some things.
After a day and night of flying, the plane landed at the Kyoto airport.
Get off the plane,
Guan Zi acted nervous and curious, carefully looking at everything around her.
This is Kyoto.
At this time, it was also snowing in Kyoto.
It's winter now, and it's normal for it to snow from time to time.
However, Kyoto is much warmer than Beizhou. Even on snowy days, it is warmer here than in Qiqibeihar when the temperature is the highest.
For a moment, Guan Zi felt uncomfortable.
My face started to feel hot and sweaty.
Chen Ming asked Guan Zi to take off a few pieces of clothing. There was no need to wear too bulky clothes in Kyoto, just a simple down jacket would be enough.
Subsequently,
Chen Ming took Guan Zi and went straight to the headquarters of Xingyu Entertainment.
After receiving the news, Sun Qingxuan, Zheng Rong and Li Youwei were waiting at the entrance of the headquarters early.
When Chen Ming arrived at the headquarters, a timid little girl followed behind him.
Sun Qingxuan was stunned by this.
"Where did you abduct it from?"
Sun Qingxuan stepped forward and wanted to see Guan Zi's face, but the little girl was shy and huddled behind Chen Ming.
Chen Ming scratched his head in embarrassment: "He was not kidnapped. Mr. Cai Yiqing asked me to help take care of him. This child has talent in painting and is a good youngster."
After hearing the words Cai Yiqing, Sun Qingxuan didn't ask any more questions.
Chen Ming patted Guan Zi's little head, greeted the other two, and walked into the company.
ten minutes later,
Chen Ming and Guan Zi sat down in the chairman's office.
Guan Zi was tugging at Chen Ming's clothes the whole time, not daring to look around.
"Chen Ming, if the time is too tight, let's do it next year."
The chairman personally poured a glass of water for Chen Ming.
Even Sun Qingxuan has never been treated like this.
Chen Ming stood up quickly and took the water: "The script has been written."
for a moment,
Everyone in the office was shocked.
In three days, a movie script was created...
see the situation,
Chen Ming took out the script from his bag and handed it to everyone.
A few minutes later,
Li Youwei was the first to speak out: "This movie..."
"Where's your part?"
The script of "Reply from Heaven" is very touching. Li Youwei must admit this.
But the problem is,
Judging from the script, it seems that there are no roles for young male actors.
We can't let Chen Ming play the role of grandpa.
Chen Ming said bluntly: "I don't plan to appear in this New Year's film. I will just be the screenwriter and set manager."
Li Youwei was a little embarrassed.
Their original intention in making the New Year's film was to create popularity and fame for Chen Ming, but if Chen Ming didn't appear, it would be meaningless.
But Chen Ming's ideas are different from theirs. Chen Ming just wants to make a good movie, nothing more.
