China Entertainment's My Artistic Career

Chapter 225 Don't Worry

"Come on, come on, Teacher Xu, sit down, you're welcome."

After letting go of his hand, He Hua motioned to Xu Zheng to sit down and talk slowly, and Xiao Xu also ran to pour tea with great discernment.

"Actually, I have wanted to meet Teacher Xu for a long time. I like the series "Li Wei as an Official" that you and Teacher Liu Heping collaborated on very much."

He Hua praised Xu Zheng so much that Xu Zheng was a little dizzy. Hearing He Hua say "you" and "you", he quickly interrupted:

"Director He, Mr. He, can you please stop using the word 'you'? If you continue to use it, I will have no shame in staying here."

He Hua also became happy when he heard this: "Okay, okay, it's mainly you... You asked Baoqiang before you came here. I have to be polite. In this case, let's not make any nonsense. Script?" "

Xu Zheng quickly took out the script from the briefcase beside him and handed it to He Hua.

He Hua took it and started reading it. Xiao Xu also came over with the freshly poured tea: "Teacher Xu, you have tea."

Xu Zheng stood up slightly and supported him gently: "Thank you, thank you."

He Hua had watched the original movie before coming here, but now that I read the script, it feels very rough, as if it just came out not long ago.

Xu Zheng's heart was also raised. He Hua frowned after reading this comedy book. There must be something wrong with it.

Although he had always called He Hua "Director He" before, he also knew that He Hua's best thing was his screenwriting talent.

As a top screenwriter in the film and television industry, he doesn't like the script. Could it be that he really overestimates his talent?Xu Zheng suddenly felt a little self-doubt.

He Hua read the [-]-word script for about half an hour. Anyway, Xiao Xu had to refill it several times.

Watching He Hua turn to the last page, Xu Zheng's heart suddenly beat very fast: What will he say, perfunctory with me or reject directly?
After overthinking, how could He Hua refuse? It was too late for him to be happy with such a neat road comedy script.

After closing the script, He Hua looked at Xu Zheng. He really didn't expect that this guy was a comprehensive talent. He could write his own scripts, be a director, and act so well. Cheng Yong in "I'm Not the God of Medicine" deserves an award. Trophy.

"Coming, coming." Xu Zheng's right fist hidden under his left hand was clenched tightly, and he couldn't help but show disappointment on his face.

He Hua looked at it and smiled and said: "The script is good, what's your expression?"

Xu Zheng was a little disbelieving when he heard He Hua's words: "What about you just now?"

"Let's not talk about it for now. If you bring the script over, I don't think it's just to attract investment. I believe that as long as you are a qualified producer, you can see the value in it. Tell me what you think."

Xu Zheng looked at He Hua's expression carefully and felt that he didn't seem to be playing tricks on him. He was mostly relieved, and then he began to tentatively put forward his conditions:
"I've shown it to several bosses before, and there were two main problems."

He Hua didn't say anything, just made a gesture of listening.

"One is investment. Many bosses prefer low-cost production. They think the script is worth a few million, but I think the amount of investment determines the quality of the movie."

"This script was inspired by my trip to Thailand some time ago. I feel that if I want to ensure the quality of the film, it is best to shoot in Thailand."

At this stage, shooting abroad means high investment costs. What Xu Zheng wants to express is very clear.

He Hua nodded, noncommittal: "Is there any more? Continue." After saying that, he picked up the tea and drank it. The warm tea didn't taste good.

There was some sweat on Xu Zheng's forehead. He was sweating in this season. You can imagine his nervousness:

"Also, I think I am qualified for the position of director. The entire movie is in my mind. No one is more familiar with this project than me." Damn, I don't believe it. How about we compare?

"Where are the actors? Who do you want to find?"

"."

Although he had already acquiesced in Xu Zheng's role as the director of the film, He Hua couldn't let him feel that he was easy to talk to, so he chose to ask a few more questions, even in a somewhat embarrassing way:
"What about team building? Do you have a suitable team?"

"What will you do if the crew doesn't listen to you?"

It's like an interview.

Xu Zheng racked his brains to answer He Hua's questions, but the expression on his face became more and more relaxed.

The two chatted for about an hour and a half, not including the time spent reading the script before, so it was already noon after the chat. He Hua happily took Xu Zheng and Huang Lan out to eat.

"Then it's settled. You don't have to worry about investments. Huang will help you with budgeting and other matters. If you have any questions, you can also come to me."

"Your most important task now is to polish this script. It's a bit rough. Let me tell you, I found a lot of problems when I read it."

Xu Zheng giggled.

After Xu Zheng left, Huang Lan questioned He Hua:
"According to the shooting method he said, I'm afraid it won't cost tens of millions. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to hand over such a large project to a newcomer?"

This is the reason why other companies dare not invest. High investment + new director. In addition, there may be copyright disputes. Just thinking about it makes me scratch my head.

Only He Hua could agree so readily.

"It's okay. The investment in "Jingjue Ancient City" is more than this. Why don't we still find new people? The results are quite good. Don't underestimate these people."

How can it be the same? We are in charge of TV dramas, and the level of the production team is there. As long as the director is not too bad, it will basically be fine. But the same cannot be said for movies. How many big directors will overturn when they say they will, how can we reassure people? .Huang Lan cursed in her heart.

He Hua noticed Huang Lan's expression and explained: "Actually, comedians like Xu Zheng are better at grasping the rhythm and knowing where to bury the burden and where to soothe the audience's mood. I think this is what they do as directors. Advantage."

"As long as they can control their desire for expression within a certain range, I believe the movie shouldn't be too bad."

Seeing that Huang Lan was still a little hesitant, He Hua waved his hand:
"Okay, okay, it's settled. You control the budget and production, and I'll fix the script. It'll be no problem."

When Huang Lan saw this, she stopped saying anything. After all, He Hua's vision was obvious to all.

He Hua has gained something here, and Liu Yifei is not idle either.

Liu Yifei, who served as a producer and producer for the first time, has achieved such good results. The media praised her again and again, especially the Sixth Princess, who held a special dialogue with her on the "China Film Report" program. It is really true. Make other actresses envious.

On the show, Liu Yifei did not forget to advertise herself and her boyfriend: "We hope to be listeners and collectors of stories."

"As long as you have a good story, we will never let you down."

These two sentences caused Liu Yifei to receive a lot of praise and trouble.
