I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 168: Performance is a bit worse

On the road, the nanny car drove toward the courtyard at a slow pace!
There was silence in the car. Duan Tong adhered to the characteristics of a full-time driver and acted like a mute!
Wan Qingshan was meditating, while Chen Yumo looked at Wan Qingshan quietly with slightly worried eyes!
Suddenly, the expression on Wan Qingshan's face suddenly changed, from contemplation to shock!
Just now he recalled the development of Zhao Feite in his original life and discovered that Zhao Feite's acting career had actually stopped in 2006.

Then, not long after, her career suddenly took a big turn. She was admitted to Nortel's master's degree program in directing, studied with Tian Zhuangzhuang, and entered the directing circle.

On the other side, there are endless film resources, such as "Red Cliff", "Painted Skin", "Mulan",,,
These were all big-budget movies at the time. Even Wang Yu couldn't get this kind of resource. How did she get it when there was no one behind her?

Wan Qingshan thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure it out.

So, he began to think about those gossipy rumors about Zhao Feite in his original life!
Then he immediately thought of the high-ranking official with the slogan—Xu Zongheng.

It is rumored that Zhao Feite was kept by Xu Zongheng and often went to Hong Kong Island to work for Xu Zongheng!

As for Feit Zhao's husband Huang Youlong, his experience of making a fortune has never been confirmed. We only know that he became a billionaire in Singapore as soon as he appeared.

There are rumors that Huang Youlong was originally Xu Zongheng's driver. After Xu Zongheng was dismissed, 20 billion was not found. These 20 billion were swallowed up by Huang Youlong and Zhao Feite together.

Thinking of this, Wan Qingshan felt that this was probably true. Otherwise, after Zhao Feite was dumped by Wang Yu, why would the film resources become better?

Then, Wan Qingshan thought about yesterday's General Administration of Film and Television Health Development Meeting, and he was even more convinced that the rumors were true!

Now, Zhao Feite should have relied on Xu Zongheng.

Otherwise, why would the General Administration name and criticize him, and also use the promotional method of "Loyal Liver, Righteous and Brave" which was released almost a year ago? Such an outrageous reason.

With Xu Zongheng's help, the General Administration would criticize him by name, and then news of Zhao Feite's whitewashing would appear on the Internet.

After Wan Qingshan was shocked for a moment, another question popped up in his mind!

He had nothing to lose when the General Administration criticized him by name, and it wasn't like he was banned from directing. Could it be that Xu Zongheng just asked the General Administration to criticize him and ignore it.

Or, because he is so famous, Xu Zongheng cannot ban him, he can only name and criticize him.

It was because of Grandpa Yumo and Feng that Xu Zongheng was unable to ban him!

"No! Although I don't know how senior Yumo's Grandpa Feng is, the emergency that Ye Nuan encountered in Yuzhou could be resolved within an hour. This energy should be much greater than that of Xu Zongheng." Wan Qingshan said. I murmured in my heart.

Just after muttering in his heart, Wan Qingshan felt something was wrong again!
"That's not right. Since Xu Zongheng's energy is not as powerful as Yumo's Grandpa Feng, then why do the people from the General Administration criticize me by name? Even if the rest of the people don't know that I rely on Yumo's Grandpa Feng, Tian Jin knows, The General Administration is going to criticize me by name, there’s no way he won’t stop me!”

Then——Wan Qingshan really couldn’t figure it out, so he turned to ask Chen Yumo.

"Yu Mo, during the recent period, has your Grandpa Feng called you and said anything?"

Chen Yumo was stunned for a moment before replying, "Two days ago, Grandpa Feng called me yesterday, but he didn't say anything. He was still as concerned about how I was doing as before!"

Wan Qingshan frowned immediately. Grandpa Yumo Feng didn't hint anything. So what was going on with the General Administration's criticism of him? Didn't Grandpa Yumo Feng know?
"By the way, Grandpa Feng asked me when I planned to get married. Grandpa Feng didn't ask me when I was going to get married before!"

What Chen Yumo added made Wan Qingshan suddenly have an idea in his mind!
Xu Zongheng asked the General Administration to find a way to deal with him, but was blocked by Grandpa Yumo Feng.

But because he and Yu Mo had no plans to get married at that time, Grandpa Yu Mo Feng was a little dissatisfied, so he specifically asked people from the General Administration to criticize him!
"Qingshan, what happened?"

When Wan Qingshan came back to his senses and saw Chen Yumo's worried expression, he quickly said,
"Nothing, I just thought about the meeting held by the General Administration yesterday about the promotion of movies and TV shows online.

I'm wondering if the higher authorities are planning to formulate something to strengthen the standards for online promotion of film and television.

So I thought that if the above did this, Grandpa Feng would remind me through you.

Since Grandpa Feng didn’t tell you, it means I’m overthinking it. "

After finishing speaking, seeing Chen Yumo's eyes full of doubt, Wanqingshan smiled and said,
"Yu Mo, you, if something happens to me, reporters will definitely report it. Look at the recent news about me, which is that "Ip Man" has been completed!"

Chen Yumo didn't believe Wan Qingshan's words. If it was really for such a small thing, Wan Qingshan wouldn't have thought about it for so long!
It must be related to Zhao Feite. Wan Qingshan's expression changed after she heard Li Yancheng talking about Zhao Feite on the phone just now.

But Wan Qingshan didn't want to say it, and she wouldn't force him to ask. Anyway, she would just call Grandpa Feng in two days and ask him!
So, Chen Yumo changed the topic and asked curiously, "Qingshan, why do you want to hack "The Night Banquet"? You don't have a movie to release now. Has Wang Zhongjun offended you?"

Wan Qingshan didn't want Chen Yumo to worry about the grievances between Beijing Circle and Wan Qingshan, so he didn't tell her about it.In addition, no media dug up and reported it, so Chen Yumo had no idea about Wanqingshan and Beijing Circle's grievances.

Although the original incident was over and Jingquan could not do anything to him, Wan Qingshan still did not want to tell Chen Yumo about his grudges with Jingquan.

Otherwise, with Chen Yumo's temper, she would definitely blame him for not telling her in the first place and actually hiding it from her.

Wan Qingshan rolled his eyes and smiled, "I have no grudges with Wang Zhongjun, I have grudges with Feng Xiaogang.

When "The True Meaning of Love" was released, he told the media that "The True Meaning of Love" had no content or depth and should not be released. Do you think I should vent my anger? "

Chen Yumo thought this reason was normal, but for a moment he felt something was wrong.

Then she thought about it and found nothing wrong. With Wan Qingshan's temperament, this tone was normal.

Therefore, Chen Yumo just assumed that he had an illusion and stopped thinking about it.

In the next two days, Wan Qingshan played around with Chen Yumo for two days, and then sent Chen Yumo to board the plane to Shenzhen, and he also boarded the plane to Shanghai.

After staying in Shanghai for a few days, I watched the first cuts of the two versions of "Ip Man" and discussed with the editor my requirements for fine editing.

There are no special requirements for the foreign version of "Ip Man". When it comes to action scenes, pay attention not to make the abruptness caused by the camera changes too obvious. Then, don't cut any of the shots describing Fan Bayi's figure!
For the domestic version of "Ip Man", Wan Qingshan had some special requirements. He wanted to slightly slow down the shots of Qian Xiaohao and Zhang Jin's fighting moves, and slow down the speed a little, so that it would have the beauty of an ancient martial arts conception.

But when the fists and kicks hit the opponent's body, there is no need to skip frames, and the normal speed of 24 frames is used. The picture is smooth and natural, and the intense collision feeling is retained.

Then, after Wan Qingshan finished talking to the dubbing artist, color corrector and synthesis staff about his requirements, and then turned around and told Jiang Zhiqiang to arrange for the people who stayed to keep an eye on him, Wan Qingshan immediately flew back to the capital to prepare for "Awkward Love"!
After previously cooperating with Wang Changtian to buy the shares of Jiahe from Wrinkle Huai and his daughter, Wan Qingshan became less anxious about filming "Love in the Road".

Later, he served as a judge at the Berlin Film Festival and won the rights to adapt the old American film "Planes, Trains and Automobiles" through Koreva, and he became even less anxious.

He has the right to adapt it, and it's a magically adapted version of "People on the Road," so even if Tian Hansheng comes up with the script for "People on the Road," he won't worry.

Now Wan Qingshan is a little anxious. After Jiahe's year-end meeting, he has to give money to buy Jiahe Cinema Line.

During this period of time, he only earned 500 million in directing fees by directing "Ip Man".

But he transferred money to Ye Xuan twice, which totaled more than 5000 million. When Qingshan Media Company first opened, he transferred 500 million to it, so now he only has 2000 million in liquidity.

And in a while, after the project led by Qingshan Media Company is established, he will definitely have to invest money again.

If he doesn't seize the time now to film and release "A Love Story" to make money, he won't have the money to buy Golden Harvest Cinemas by then.

After landing in the capital, Wan Qingshan was greeted by Duan Tong and got into the car. He told Duan Tong to go to the company, and then took out his mobile phone to call Li Yancheng and Yan Dong.

When Wan Qingshan arrived at the company, Li Yancheng and Yan Dong had already arrived.

Wan Qingshan called the two of them, waved to Sun Yao, and entered the office.

"Before, I went to film "Ip Man", which caused "A Love Is Away" to be delayed. Now I am ready to shoot "A Love Is Away".

I said before that before the filming of the next movie starts, I will let you decide your respective proportions. Have you decided? "

The three of them looked at each other, and then Li Yancheng stepped forward and said, "Qingzi, we discussed it together before, cut it in half!
Together we account for 5%, and I still account for half, 2.5%, because there are more people below me, and each of them accounts for 1.25%. "

Wan Qingshan thought for a while, nodded, and said, "I have no objection to this share. However, have you talked to the people below about the change in the share? Do they have any objections?"

When Wan Qingshan spoke, he had been observing the expressions of the three people!
Wan Qingshan is very relieved about the three people in Yandong, and they will not be dissatisfied with the reduction in their share.

After all, it was the three of them who initially proposed reducing the share.

But Wan Qingshan is not sure about the people below them.

His relationship with the people below him was just like that, even the people like Zhao Shufeng.

Although he and Zhao Shufeng were classmates before and had a very good relationship.

But in the past few years, except for meeting on the same crew during filming, we rarely met each other during the rest of the time, and the relationship naturally weakened a lot.

You could share so much money before, but you can share less than half the money in the future, and then the relationship will be like this. Normal people will definitely have thoughts in their hearts.

Even if they knew that Wanqingshan had given them more money, they would still have thoughts in their hearts, and they would only think about why it was half the amount.

As soon as Wan Qingshan finished speaking, he saw the expression on Yan Dong's face was a bit unnatural.

"Yandong, Zhao Shufeng and the others have any objections?"

Yan Dong hesitated for a moment and replied, "I have a few opinions, but don't worry Qingzi, I will control them!"

Wan Qingshan didn't believe Yan Dong's words. If he really had only a few opinions, Yan Dong wouldn't look like this.

Yan Dong probably remembered the feelings between him and Zhao Shufeng and didn't want to talk about it or make things worse.

Wan Qingshan's eyes changed slightly, and his sharp gaze stared into Yan Dong's eyes.

"In the cold winter, I don't care so much. If you can't control them, just let them go. I don't want them to affect the filming when the movie starts."

Yan Dong's expression suddenly changed, and he quickly promised, "Don't worry, Qingzi, I will definitely be able to control them!"

Wan Qingshan looked deeply at Yan Dong, then turned slightly and looked at Li Yancheng.

"The same goes for you. If anyone has an opinion, let them in."

Wan Qingshan moved his eyes and looked at Sun Yao, "If there are some people you can't decide, then tell me and I will let them go!"

"I got it, Director Wan!" Sun Yao replied immediately.

"Qingzi, don't worry, I won't let them delay the filming." Li Yancheng replied.

Wan Qingshan nodded slightly, then looked at Yandong, "Yandong, this shooting is urgent, Brother Cheng has to help me with other tasks, and it's up to you to find the shooting location.

I'll take you a copy of the script of "A Journey to Love" later. After you go back and read it, you'll quickly find a filming location. You can help me with the initial expenses!

After the budget is made, I will deduct the portion you should contribute! "

Yan Dong was stunned for a moment and asked in surprise, "Qingzi, don't you have any other requirements for the shooting location? For example, like the previous "Selection", you need a sense of space!"

"'A Love Story' is a pure comedy. It doesn't need the surrounding environment to set off anything. You just follow the scenes that will appear in the script and look for them normally."

Then, Wan Qingshan smiled teasingly and said, "Besides, you have been a photographer for three years, and you studied with Brother Zhao for a period of time before. You should have your own opinions on shooting locations. This time I will hand in Decide for you."

"Haha, Qingzi, if you say that, then I will follow my own ideas." Yan Dong said with a smile.

Wan Qingshan smiled and turned to look at Li Yancheng, "Brother Cheng, because I haven't had time to consider actors before, I don't have a suitable candidate for the role in my mind. This time I have to interview externally." Character Relationships in "Awkward Love" It’s very simple, basically all the scenes are for the male lead and the female lead, so this interview is just for the male and female leads.

For other roles, except for the role of the secretary, which I will leave to Enlight Pictures, for the rest, Brother Cheng, just look at the characters according to the script and find them. You also know my preferences in hiring people, so I won’t say more.

Let me talk about the requirements for male and female leads. Brother Cheng, please follow the requirements and send interview invitations to artists in the industry.

For the female lead role, she should not be too old, should be 22 years old, be pretty, carefree, and have decent acting skills.

The male lead should look about 26 years old, his appearance and temperament should look smart and capable, and his appearance and acting skills should be acceptable. "

Li Yancheng nodded, "Qingzi, when will the interview be?"

"Well, well, in a week, the budget should be ready by then! Time is a little tight, Brother Cheng, please prepare as soon as possible!"

"Then I'll prepare tomorrow." Li Yancheng nodded and replied.

Immediately, Wan Qingshan looked at Sun Yao, "As for you, there is nothing to do in the early stage without screenwriting, but don't be idle.

Time is running out. Please help Chen Chen to calculate the budget quickly. "

"I know, Director Wan!" Sun Yao replied with a smile.

"Okay, there's nothing else to do. You go and do your work. By the way, Sun Yao, please copy the script and give it to Yan Dong and Brother Cheng!"

As soon as Wan Qingshan finished speaking, he suddenly thought of what he had seen before and immediately shouted, "Yandong, wait!"

The severe winter that had just turned around was stunned for a moment, then turned around again!

After Li Yancheng and Sun Yao walked out, Yan Dong immediately said, "Qingzi, Madman and the others just complained a few words and didn't have much thought in their hearts. I'll just go back and talk to them again."

"If they really didn't have much idea, then you should have talked it through to them long ago. I don't believe you didn't communicate with them after they had their opinions."

Seeing Yan Dong's expression stiffen, and then letting out a long sigh, Wan Qingshan couldn't help but sigh as well.

When he was studying at Nortel, besides Chen Yumo, he and Zhao Shufeng also played very well!

It can be said that in Nortel, when it comes to friendship, Zhao Shufeng, Yan Dong, and Yu Bo are regarded as true friends by Wan Qingshan!
Wan Qingshan just felt sad for a moment, then said calmly,

"Yandong, I know you don't want to make things worse so that your classmates won't have to do anything in the future.

But you have to understand that some people can't keep a relationship forever.

Let’s just say you have a good relationship with a good friend or brother who you went to high school with or was a child with. How is your relationship now?

I think our relationship is only average, and we don’t even have much contact now! "

After Yan Dong was silent for a moment, he rubbed his face with his hands, cheered up and said, "I understand, I'll go back and talk to them again. If they still have objections, I'll replace them!"

"Well, if you have any objections, change them as soon as possible, so as not to delay the filming later. If you change them, it will not be difficult to find someone. Let's not talk about finding other people. Just people like Shi Hao. I think they will definitely be eager to help you!"

Yan Dong suddenly smiled when he talked about his former classmates Shi Hao and his gang.

"Haha, Shi Hao and the others contacted me some time ago and asked if I was lacking anyone and wanted to come with me.

It has been three years since graduation, and most of the people in the class have changed careers.

People like Shi Hao, who haven't changed careers yet, are still working as coolies on the crew carrying equipment!
Some time ago, listening to the tone of their voices, it seemed that they could hardly hold on any longer! "

"Isn't that all? Look, Shi Hao and the others are still working as coolies.

As for Zhao Shufeng and the others, they have been helping you since graduation. Although they are not the chief cameraman, at least their names are on the subtitle list of the people behind the movie.

When they first graduated, Shi Hao and Zhao Shufeng had similar skills, but now, their statuses are completely different!
Yan Dong, let me tell you, we are good enough to people like Zhao Shufeng. If they are still not satisfied, they still have objections.

It would be better to change it as soon as possible, lest they have other ideas later on, which would be bad for you and me! "

Yan Dong nodded and said, "Understood, I will tell them as soon as I get back that this is the last time I will communicate with them about this matter.

If it still doesn't work, don't worry, I'll let them go immediately, and then contact Shi Hao and the others! "

When Wan Qingshan saw Yan Dong finish speaking, he turned around and prepared to leave.

"Hey, don't leave in a hurry. I asked you to stay, and I didn't mean to tell you about Zhao Shufeng and the others!"

Yan Dong immediately retracted the leg he just lifted, turned around and said in surprise, "Then what do you want to say by asking me to stay?"

Yan Donggang always thought that Wan Qingshan asked him to stay just to talk about Zhao Shufeng and the others.

That's why he didn't wait for Wan Qingshan to speak before he spoke first, just because he didn't want Wan Qingshan to say too harshly at once!
Wan Qingshan's face immediately filled with a smile, and he joked, "Hey, I want to ask you, what is your current relationship with Chen Chen!"

When he entered Qingshan Film and Television Company just now, Wan Qingshan noticed that Yan Dong and Chen Chen were chatting and laughing there. Coupled with Yan Dong's flattering and sweet smile, he looked like a licking dog. Wan Qingshan thought, is Yan Dong here? Chasing Chen Chen?

Yan Dong's expression froze, and then his eyes rolled around!
"Me, Chen Chen and I are just friends, what else can we have to do with each other?" Yan Dong replied with a very unnatural look on his face.

"Yandong, why don't you even have the courage? If you like it, you just like it. This is not a shameful behavior!"

Wan Qingshan's contemptuous expression aroused Yan Dong, and he immediately changed his words.

"Who said I don't have the courage? I like Chen Chen and I'm just chasing her. What's wrong!"

Seeing Yan Dong being so aroused by him and reacting so violently, Wan Qingshan laughed.

"Haha, it's nothing, but if you make your voice louder, I think everything will become something."

Only then did Yan Dong realize that he was so excited just now that his voice was raised several degrees when he spoke.

At the same time, he also realized that he was deceived by Wan Qingshan's expression!
"Qingzi, it belongs to your uncle!"

Yan Dong cursed in embarrassment, walked a few steps quickly, and put his ear to the door anxiously!

"No, Yan Dong, what's wrong with you? Wouldn't it be better to be heard by Chen Chen and let her know what you think? You have to be bolder when chasing girls. You can't hide it!"

As soon as Wan Qingshan finished speaking, Yandong, who didn't hear the sound from outside, let out a long breath.

Then, Yan Dong complained angrily, "You think everyone is like you, shameless and shameless.

When you were chasing Chen Yumo, you pestered them every day and even went to the acting department to attend classes. What you did made me ashamed! "

Wan Qingshan raised his eyebrows, "Hey, Yan Dong, let me tell you, if you take the initiative to pester Chen Chen later, come to my company every day, send flowers to Chen Chen, ask her out to play, etc., then don't It’s my fault for laughing at you!”

"Don't worry, I won't do anything like that!" Yan Dong replied with certainty.

"Okay, remember, if you let me know what you did, I will go to the company door and put up a banner that says, you have no skin and no face in the cold winter!" Wan Qingshan replied with a smile on his face.

Yan Dong rolled his eyes and was too lazy to reply!

Then, Wan Qingshan gradually stopped smiling and asked very seriously, "Yandong, do you really like Chen Chen, or are you just having fun!
If you just want to play for a while, I advise you to find someone else. I don’t want you to play for a while and I will have to find another assistant later! "

"No, who do you think I am! If I want to play, I can just go to the bar. When I go to the bar, as soon as I put my car keys, someone will come looking for me. Why should I bother chasing people?" Yan Dong didn't He replied angrily.

"I also know that you are not that kind of person, but I am not worried.

Chen Chen has been my assistant for a long time, and I am used to it. If I change someone, I will not be used to it, and I will even be a little cautious. "

After Wan Qingshan finished speaking, he murmured in his heart, "I knew who you were before, but now that you are rich, who knows if your sexual courage has become much greater!"

Yandong rolled his eyes again, "Qingzi, you are really worrying so blindly, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't know what's important!"

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, okay!"

"There's nothing else. I have to go back and talk to Zhao Shufeng and the others. I don't have time to deal with your nonsense!"

"No more, no more, let's go!"

As soon as Wan Qingshan finished speaking, Yan Dong quickly took a few steps, opened the office door and walked out.

Yan Dong looked around at everyone's faces and saw that everyone's expressions were the same as usual, so he put his mind back.

Then when Yan Dong took a copy of the script of "Love Is Away" and walked out of Qingshan Film and Television Company - 'Haha! ''whee! ',,,,

There was loud laughter in the company!

"Chenchen, haha, have you ever felt that Yan Dong's head is a little unclear?

Haha, he didn’t even think about it. He was so loud inside, how could we not hear him!
Also, haha, when he first came out, he had that sinister look on his face. I thought he was so stupid!Ha ha. "Sun Yao laughed and teased Chen Chen!

Chen Chen, whose face instantly turned red, became a little anxious and immediately retorted, "That's not a sly look, it's the most cautious thing!"

After saying that, Chen Chen couldn't help but think of Yan Dong's appearance when he came out just now, 'Pfft! 'Laughed!
"Wow, Chenchen, you are standing with Yan Dong now and actually speaking for him. You are not together yet. If you are together, it will be even more incredible!" Sun Yao shouted with a smile on his face.

Wan Qingshan, who had just left the office, heard this and saw that except for Chen Chen's red cheeks, everyone else was smiling, and he immediately understood what happened.

Then, Wan Qingshan smiled and said, "Okay, stop joking. Yan Dong has never been in love in school, so it's normal for her to be almost unlucky when pursuing someone for the first time!"

"Chenchen, Chenchen, did you hear that this is Yan Dong's first time falling in love, you've made a profit!" Sun Yao winked and joked at Chen Chen.

Chen Chen, whose face was red, gave Sun Yao a dirty look, ignored Sun Yao, lowered his head and continued to calculate the budget.

"Sun Yao, stop teasing. You are thick-skinned, but Chen Chen is different!" Wan Qingshan said with a smile.

"Director Wan, Chenchen is not thin-skinned. Director Wan, let me tell you, um,"

Before Sun Yao could finish his words, the shy Chen Chen covered his mouth.

Wan Qingshan smiled upon seeing this, picked up a script from Sun Yao and left Qingshan Film and Television Company.

Wan Qingshan led the two bodyguards who had been waiting outside the company, got into the car, and said to Duan Tong, "Send me to Enlight Pictures!"

On the way, Wan Qingshan made a phone call to Li Xiaoping, the new president of Enlight Pictures.

After arriving at Enlight Pictures, Wan Qingshan met the very ordinary-looking Li Xiaoping under the guidance of the staff of Enlight Pictures.
