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

Chapter 196 Almost Breaking the Defense
"Maybe you should have guessed when I asked you to come this time."

"We are not stupid. You asked Lu Wei to write the script, and you asked Yao Yao and the others to write the script. When you were filming "Awkward Love", you actually asked Lu Bing to direct it twice, and you also directed him afterwards. This is not like you The past style.

You are planning to let Lu Bing film the script written by Yaoyao and the others, Qingzi, am I right? Yan Dong smiled.

"Yes, you guessed it right."

Then, Wan Qingshan turned back and forth on Yan Dong and Sun Yao, and joked,

"Yan Dong, what's going on with Sun Yao? You actually call her Yao Yao, so intimately. Instead of chasing Chen Chen, you're chasing Sun Yao."

Yan Dong rolled his eyes and said angrily, "What are you talking about? Yaoyao and I are buddies. I can catch up with Chen Chen quickly now, thanks to Yaoyao's advice."

"Hey, how far have you and Chen Chen progressed?"

After saying that, Wan Qingshan thought of something and quickly asked Sun Yao,

"During this period, did Yan Dong go to the company, ask Chen Chen to watch a movie, send flowers, etc."

Yan Dong's expression changed drastically, and he quickly said, "Yao Yao, you can't say that!"

Sun Yao was very curious, and then she replied without thinking, "Yes, these days, whenever it's time to get off work, Yan Dong will pick up Chen Chen from get off work with roses."

"Haha, Yan Dong, remember what I told you back then.

Tomorrow, I will make a banner saying 'In the harsh winter, you have no skin and no face' and hang it on the door of the company. "

"Pfft!"

Sun Yao immediately laughed.

Li Yancheng also smiled dumbly.

Li Yancheng rolled his eyes and did not beg for mercy from Wan Qingshan. He knew that Wan Qingshan only talked about it and would never do it.

If he really did it, he would be embarrassed in front of Chen Chen, and Wan Qingshan would definitely not do this.

After joking, Wan Qingshan continued to talk about business.

"Since you have guessed it, it's easy to tell. This time the company is producing two movies at the same time, my new movie, and "The Richest Man in Xihong City" which was assigned to Lu Bing to shoot.

The investment in my new movie is huge and the risks are also huge. I am prepared to raise most of the funds from outside sources, so don’t even think about my new movie.

This time you all go to Lu Bing's crew to work on "The Richest Man in Xihong City". As before, I will give you a 5% share.

In the harsh winter, after the filming of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is completed, you come to my crew.

Of course, I am a person of equal means. Just because I let you join my crew does not mean that I will give you a share of the investment in my new movie.

I have said before that if you do something in a movie, I will give you a share of the investment.

But for my new movie, Severe Winter, I don’t want you to come to the set because I don’t want you to take the camera.

I plan to ask Zhao Xiaoding to direct my new movie. I asked you to come to the crew after filming "The Richest Man in Xihong City" to continue learning from Zhao Xiaoding.I think "A City Full of Golden Armor" is definitely not enough for you to learn. "

Yan Dong's eyes lit up, "Qingzi, Senior Brother Zhao is in charge of the camera, then I have to study hard.

I learned a lot from "The City of Gold", but when I used it in the previous filming of "A Journey to Love", it gave me a lot of questions, so I had to take a leave of absence from Brother Zhao. "

"Then you should study hard then."

Wan Qingshan smiled and looked at Li Yancheng.

"Brother Cheng, thank you for your hard work. Although the promotion of "Awkward Love" mainly relies on Enlight Pictures, some things still have to rely on you. At the same time, "The Richest Man in Xihong City" also needs you to be a good producer."

Hearing that Wan Qingshan emphasized the word producer, Li Yancheng understood what it meant.

There was a flash of excitement in his eyes. As a producer for Wan Qingshan, he had no rights at all, which made him feel very aggrieved.

This time, he is the complete producer of "The Richest Man in Xihong City"!

"Brother Cheng, let's get things started. As a producer, in addition to keeping an eye on the crew, you also have to keep an eye on Lu Bing. More importantly, you must not mess around in the crew."

Under Wan Qingshan's warning gaze, Li Yancheng's heart trembled, and most of the excitement in his heart suddenly disappeared.

"I understand, don't worry, I will take care of myself. Besides, Yan Dong and Sun Yaoke are both on the crew, and they are investors in "The Richest Man in Xihong City"."

Li Yancheng turned to Sun Yao and Yan Dong and smiled, "If I do something wrong, you will definitely stop me, right?"

Yan Dong said without thinking, "That's for sure. I won't say whether you are an investor or not, but we have been working together for several years. I don't want to see you take the wrong path."

"Stop it, definitely stop it. Bai Wen and Hong Lan are short of money to buy a house. If the movie is messed up, they will have to wait again if they want to buy a house."

"You see, Qingzi, with Yan Dong and Sun Yao here, I can't even go the wrong way."

Wan Qingshan smiled, and then changed the topic, "Brother Cheng, I will be the producer of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", and I plan to use my reputation as a producer to attract investors.

For this movie, I plan to attract at least ten sponsors and use the sponsors’ money to make the movie.

As for the sponsors, I have to trouble you to contact them.If you don't have enough connections, go to Qingshan Media Company and ask Zhang Zhao for help. "

A trace of surprise flashed in Li Yancheng's eyes, and then he nodded immediately, "I am really lacking in sponsorship. I have never dealt with those sponsors before."

""The Richest Man in Xihong City", I will only take care of the initial funds, and I will not take care of the rest. I will leave everything to you."

"Qingzi, don't worry, we are not novices, nothing will go wrong." Yan Dong said confidently.

"Well, since you are so confident, I won't say much more. If you have any questions then, please contact me.

Okay, there's nothing else to do. You go ahead and do your work. I have to go find Lu Bing later. "

When the three of them stood up and were about to walk out in Yandong, Wan Qingshan suddenly remembered that there was something else he had not entrusted.

"By the way, Sun Yao, after you return to the company, ask Chen Chen and Yu Ying to hurry up and come up with the budget for "The Richest Man in Xihong City", the sooner the better.

And Brother Cheng, you will draw up the contract for hiring Lu Bing as director, as well as the contract for your investment in the movie. When the time comes, you will bring it to me to sign before the crew starts filming. "

Sun Yao rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Director Wan, the faster the better, then Chen Chen will have a headache and may have to stay up late and work overtime.

In the harsh winter, this is the time for you to show off. During this period, you can send Chen Chen supper every night. "

"I don't dare. She lives with her cousin Yu Ying, and Yu Ying doesn't have a good impression of me. If I want to deliver supper late at night, Yu Ying will definitely suspect that I am not well-intentioned."

"You're stupid, you don't even understand this." Sun Yao looked at Yan Dong with contempt and walked out quickly.

"Hey, Yaoyao, you are right." Yan Dong quickly chased after Sun Yao.

"Brother Cheng."

Li Yancheng, who was about to leave, stopped and looked at Wanqing Mountain.

"The premiere of "Unfortunate Love" is coming in a few days, so you have to organize people to start hyping it up online now.

The topic of speculation is the new regulations on international civil aviation.

Brother Cheng, how to hype things up? Just look at the guidelines issued by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) in December last year. "

Li Yancheng immediately thought of the scene he had filmed at the airport before, his eyes widened and he looked shocked.

"Qing, Qingzi, how do you know that the International Civil Aviation Organization will issue a ban on bringing liquids on board?"

Li Yancheng was so surprised that he was speechless.

This is really surprising. If Wan Qingshan knew the domestic regulations in advance through connections, it would be normal.But internationally, he knew in advance that,,,

Wan Qingshan frowned slightly and said with a smile, "Brother Cheng, what do you think of me? How could I know in advance? I just guessed.

If you read international news, you will know that several times last year, international terrorists put liquid bombs through drinks and tried to bring them onto the plane.

Knowing this news, of course I would make a guess about the ban on bringing liquids.

I was filming first. If there was no such rule, I would have cut the scene. "

Li Yancheng's surprise suddenly became much smaller.

"Qingzi, that's smart enough. If others would guess it, they wouldn't put it in the movie."

Wan Qingshan smiled and said, "Brother Cheng, the topic has been found, you just want to get excited about it."

"Haha, there is this topic, Qingzi, don't worry, I will definitely make this topic known to the entire Internet before the movie is released."

"By the way, Brother Cheng, you have to make it clear when you are making hype. I guessed it."

A trace of doubt flashed in Li Yancheng's eyes. He didn't understand why Wan Qingshan wanted to say it out. He had guessed it.Li Yancheng was very curious, but didn't ask any more questions.

"Understood, I will pay attention to the wording of hype."

"Well, that's it, call me if you need anything."

Looking at Li Yancheng's leaving figure, Wan Qingshan murmured in his heart, "I can't do such a thing again next time."

Early the next morning, Wan Qingshan contacted Lu Bing and made an appointment at the breakfast restaurant where he first met Lu Bing.

Lu Bing arrived very early this time. When Wan Qingshan arrived, he had already ordered half a table of breakfast.

"Ten thousand,,"

Wan Qingshan quickly whispered, "Shh, don't yell like that here."

Wanqingshan is becoming more and more popular now, and fans are now chasing stars, and they are starting to become crazier than a few years ago.

So when Wan Qingshan eats out now, he usually goes to a private room.

But this roadside breakfast shop doesn’t have private rooms.

"Boss Wan!"

"Ah."

Wan Qingshan responded and sat down to have breakfast.

Lu Bing was very curious as to why Wan Qingshan asked him to come, but Wan Qingshan didn't speak, so he couldn't ask.

After a while, Wan Qingshan, who had finished eating, put down his chopsticks and said,
"Lu Bing, you have been following me for a few years. This time, I will give you a chance. The company will produce a movie and you will be the director."

Lu Bing was so excited that he dropped the chopsticks in his hand.

"Director Wan, Mr. Wan, thank you, thank you, thank you. Mr. Wan, have you eaten well? Can you go somewhere else to eat more?"

Seeing that Lu Bing was a little incoherent with excitement, Wan Qingshan smiled hoarsely and said, "Okay, I've finished eating too. Regarding the crew, please contact Brother Cheng.

This time he is the producer, and I will only be a producer in name. If you need anything from the crew, you can ask Brother Cheng. "

"Oh, Mr. Wan, thank you for giving me the opportunity."

At this time, Lu Bing felt that his future was bright. He thought that he would have to work as an assistant director for Wan Qingshan for several years before he would have the opportunity to become a director. However, he did not expect that Wan Qingshan would become a director right now.

"You should take good care of yourself this time. If it goes well, the company will have a script for you to shoot in the future. But if it doesn't go well, you have to come back and be my assistant director."

"Yes, I will definitely take a good photo."

"Okay, I have to go beforehand."

"Mr. Wan, walk slowly."

After leaving the breakfast shop, Wan Qingshan made a call to Li Xiaoping, and then - he began to go on the TV station with Xia Yu, Yuan Quan and the others to promote "Awkward Love".

Wan Qingshan thought it would be okay when it came to TV station promotions. After all, he had appeared on TV stations several times to promote the movie.

But I didn't expect that Lu Yu's first TV show promotion was almost broken.

"Director Wan, after you graduated in 2003, you started filming "Selection". It has been almost four years since your debut.

In the past four years, you have worked with many actors. Which actor do you think has impressed you the most? "

"Yuan Quan, her acting skills are very good. In some scenes, she produced effects that I didn't expect."

"Director Wan, why did you choose Yuan Quan and Xia Yu to star in your movie?

Is it because of Zeng Li?Yuan Quan and Zeng Li are classmates, so why did you choose to invite Yuan Quan and Xia Yu to star? "

"Of course not. I was auditioning for actors and found that there were really no suitable ones, so I shamelessly went to find Xia Yu and Yuan Quan.

They have high requirements for the script, and I was worried before that they would not be willing to accept my film. "

"Really? I don't believe it?"

Wan Qingshan laughed twice.

"Director Wan, your new movie is called "Unfortunate Love", and one of your commercial films is called "The True Meaning of Love." The theme of both movies is love, and the names are very direct.

You like to make romance films, so what do you think about love? Do you think there is such a thing as loyal love? "

"I don't mean that I like making romantic films very much. I have only made three commercial films, so it happened that two of them just now were just romantic comedies.

As for love, I am still too young and I am not qualified to express any opinions? "

"But you have a rich love history in the eyes of the public. Your complicated relationship with Miss Chen and Zeng Li should give you a deep understanding of love."

"No, no, my love history is very simple. Zeng Li and I are just good friends."

"Really? I don't believe it?"

Wan Qingshan really wants to sew Lu Yu's mouth shut!
After getting angry, Wan Qingshan was not fooled by Lu Yu.

He attended Lu Yu's appointments several times, and when he saw Gao Yuanyuan, Zhang Jin and the others said something they shouldn't have said under Lu Yu's "Really? I don't believe it?" to the left and right.

"If you don't believe it, then I can't help it. Zeng Li and I are good friends, and Yuan Quan and the others all know it."

Then, Lu Yu asked a few more questions. Seeing that Wan Qingshan didn't say anything explosive, she turned the topic to Xia Yu and Yuan Quan.

After the show, Lu Yu said with a smile, "Director Wan, you are such a good-tempered person. I hope I can interview you next time so that I can overcome your difficulties."

"This is not a difficult situation for me. I just hope you can spare me next time."

After leaving the TV station, Wan Qingshan, Yuan Quan, and Xia Yu all became unhappy, especially Yuan Quan and Xia Yu.

Although Wan Qingshan knew that was Lu Yu's interview method, he had been interviewed by Lu Yu several times before when he was promoting movies, and he didn't think anything of it.

But this time, Lu Yu's interview got even more serious, and he actually used his scandal as a breakthrough point.

Yuan Quan and Xia Yu's expressions were even more ugly because, for some unknown reason, Xia Yu and Yuan Quan had a conflict after filming "A Journey to Love".

At the beginning of the year, Wan Qingshan also received a call from Zeng Li saying that Xia Yu and Yuan Quan had broken up.

Then some time ago, a reporter photographed Gao Yuanyuan staying at Xia Yu's house twice.

Wan Qingshan originally thought that Xia Yu and Yuan Quan would not come together to promote the movie due to their current relationship, but they came anyway.

Then, when Lu Yu had an appointment, Lu Yu used the matter of Xia Yu and Gao Yuanyuan as a breakthrough to interview them.

The two of them were so angry that they said some things they shouldn't have said. Yuan Quan said that she and Xia Yu had broken up, while Xia Yu swore.

After getting in the car, Wan Qingshan saw Xia Yu and Yuan Quan turning their heads and looking outside through the left and right windows.

"Why don't you participate in the following interviews and go back to rest."

"Need not!"

"Need not!"

The two turned their heads and replied in unison.

Then, the two looked at each other.

Then Yuan Quan said, "Qingshan, that's no need. I have the obligation to promote it with the remuneration I get."

"I,, I also got paid." Xia Yu said calmly.

Wan Qingshan smiled hoarsely. The two people clearly still loved each other and wanted to see each other, otherwise they wouldn't be talking about it in exchange for pay.

Wan Qingshan didn't want to be the one to explain the attitude of the two people.

His relationship with the two of them is not that good yet, and he is not qualified to say anything about their relationship.

Afterwards, Wan Qingshan and his team continued to promote on TV, but later on, Wan Qingshan specifically asked the host not to talk about Xia Yu and Yuan Quan's relationship.

Before, when Lu Yu had a date, Yuan Quan's eyes were red and he almost cried. Wan Qingshan didn't want Yuan Quan to shed tears on the scene.

After participating in four or five television programs, Wan Qingshan and his group stopped and flew back to the capital. Tomorrow will be the premiere of "Awkward Love".
