Chapter 353 Investing in Movies
"Vote!"

"Just before you came, I invested 20 million."

Gao Yuan heard Wang Sichao asking about the movie and said casually.

Wang Sichao glanced at Su Ming sitting next to Gao Yuan and smiled.

"Why did you invest 20 million? I remember that Dapeng didn't ask for 60 million in investment. You just invested all of it and arranged a good role for Su Ming."

Wang Sichao probably understood why Gao Yuan invested, but he didn't expect that Gao Yuan only invested 20 million.

"The character is not suitable, but the script is okay."

Gao Yuan said something, but he did not tell anyone that Dapeng had cooperated with others.

"Oh, I see!"

Wang Sichao nodded thoughtfully.

This is no longer the Qingming Shanghe Garden Scenic Area, but another place.

After sitting in the car for more than 20 minutes, the three of them arrived at a costume shooting location.

The situation of this movie is just too grand.

"Okay, let's go and take a look. If we participate in the show, it may not work."

If this person is here, it seems likely that he wants to talk to Director Zhang about something.

of course,

As soon as the three people arrived, someone immediately came to greet them.

Zhang Yimou's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sichao, you're here just in time. I'm filming an important scene here and I need some extras. Are your friends interested in participating?"

"By the way, Brother Yuan, when I came here I heard that Zhang Yimou was filming here. Do you want to go and see it together?"

The most important thing is the investors.

He had a hunch when he heard that Wang Sichao was coming. After this person came, he would become more interesting in Hengdian.

After a while, the phone was connected.

Wang Sichao didn't think about Dapeng Movies anymore. That investment was just a small amount of money for both Gao Yuan and him.

Especially the queen played by Gong Li, her acting skills are so explosive.

Wang Sichao took out his cell phone and started dialing.

He thought that when he came here, he heard from his friends that Zhang Yimou was filming a movie here. Gao Yuan happened to want to enter the entertainment industry, so why not take Gao Yuan to get to know him.

Since Director Zhang agreed, the three of them started to go out.

What Gao Yuan saw was not the acting skills, but the costumes.

Gao Yuan said to Wang Sichao.

"Hey, Director Zhang? I'm Sichao. I'm in Hengdian now. I heard you're filming here. I'll bring a friend over to have a look. Is that convenient?"

"Young Master Wang, Mr. Gao, Director Zhang arranged for me to pick you up."

"Okay, I'll call Director Zhang right away."

There is no need to invest a little to have fun.

Gao Yuan was slightly surprised.

He is very aware of Gao Yuan's strength. Logically speaking, if Gao Yuan invests in Dapeng's movie, he must have invested all of it.

"Okay, then it's inconvenient for you to ask."

Gao Yuan saw the staff sign hanging on the other person's body and found that he was actually an assistant director.

Wang Sichao put away his cynicism and asked politely.

Among these movies, Gao Yuan's favorite is "The City of Golden Armor".

The assistant director always had a smile on his face, and he knew exactly who was coming this time.

Wang Sichao turned to look at Gao Yuan, but he did not agree directly.

"Director Zhang?"

He has watched many of his movies, from "Hero" to "A City of Golden Armor". Some time ago, I heard that he was filming a movie called "Twenty Articles".

Maybe the investor in Director Zhang's next movie will be Mr. Gao.

Not only did he know Wang Sichao, he also knew Gao Yuan at a glance.

And the acting skills of the actors in the play are also very strong.

It still depends on whether Gao Yuan is interested in this.

This aroused a lot of interest in Gao Yuan.

I didn't expect that Wang Sichao would be able to visit Director Zhang's crew just after he arrived.

When it comes to what is most important in a movie, it is not a good script, nor good actors, nor even the director.

It is very beautiful and has the style of the ancient Tang Dynasty.

after all,

Without money, nothing can be done.

But for Director Zhang, it will be different.

With Director Zhang's reputation, if he wants to make a movie, he will have a lot of investors.

Director Zhang also had absolute say during the entire filming process of the film.

"Director Zhang is busy filming at the moment, so he specially asked me to show you two first."

"In addition, there are still some roles in Director Zhang's play, and you two can also participate in them if you are interested."

The assistant director named Ding Hong led the three of them inside while talking to them. He also showed Gao Yuan and Wang Sichao a brief introduction to several characters.

"You're welcome!"

Gao Yuan said politely and took the paper handed over by Ding Hong.

It wasn't that he wanted to participate in the role himself, but he wanted to see if there was a role suitable for Su Ming.

After all, Su Ming couldn't participate in Dapeng's movie.

It would also be great if I could participate in director Zhang's movie.

Even if it is a small role, the effect may be much stronger than the fourth female lead in the Dapeng movie.

Gao Yuan quickly flipped through the character introductions, his eyes gradually becoming focused.

Suddenly, his eyes stopped on a character named "Snow White".

"This role seems to suit Su Ming very well."

Gao Yuan looked at Bai Xue's introduction and couldn't help but think about it.

The character itself is a school girl, she just needs to cooperate with the police officer to do some things.

It was not difficult for Su Ming to perform the innocent state of students.

"Director Ding, is there any vacancy for the role of 'Snow White'?"

Gao Yuan asked Ding Hong.

Ding Hong glanced at Su Ming who was following Gao Yuan, thought for a moment, and replied: "The actor has not been confirmed yet. If the friends you brought are interested, they can try it out."

For this kind of small role without too many lines, he didn't need to tell Director Zhang, he could decide it himself.

Since Gao Yuan wanted to win over the girl around him, he would just do it as a favor. =
Gao Yuan and Su Ming looked at each other, and the excitement in Su Ming's eyes could not be concealed.

She didn't expect that instead of having the role in Dapeng's movie, she would have the opportunity to play a role in Director Zhang's movie.

Although this character doesn't have many lines, it's pretty good.

Even if there are no lines in Director Zhang's film, countless people are vying to participate in it.

Su Ming's eyes glowed again when she looked at Gao Yuan.

Is this the benefit of knowing a big boss?
"Thank you, Director Ding. I can let my friend try acting later."

Gao Yuan thanked Ding Hong.

He understood very well that this was all to give face to the other party.

If this is the case, then he will also give face to the other party.

Once you become more familiar with each other, a relationship will be established.

Several people were walking around in the crew, and Gao Yuan saw a few actors in ancient costumes performing not far away, with several cameras set up next to them.

There was a middle-aged man wearing a peaked cap sitting under a shed, staring at the scene.

"Card!"

As he shouted, the entire crew instantly relaxed a lot.

The actors also quickly came to his side.

"pass."

As Director Zhang said these words, these actors also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's true that this person's requirements for acting are too high, and he will have to start over if he is even slightly dissatisfied.

At this time, Ding Hong also ran to Director Zhang and whispered a few words in his ear. Zhang glanced in the direction of Gao Yuan and others, put down the walkie-talkie and stood up.

He said a few words to Ding Hong and walked toward Gao Yuan and others with long strides.

"Sichao, Mr. Gao, hello!"

"There happens to be a show today, but the reception is not good enough! Please be patient."

Director Zhang was very enthusiastic about them.

"Hello, Director Zhang! My name is Gao Yuan and I like your films very much!"

"This time I also take the liberty to pay tribute to Director Zhang's style."

Gao Yuan originally just wanted to take a look.

But now because of Su Ming, he has become more demanding and more demanding.

Although Ding Hong had already agreed just now, he felt that he still had to mention it to Director Zhang.

Otherwise it would be a bit rude.

"Mr. Gao, welcome!"

Zhang Yimou smiled heartily.

"I'm not busy now. Let's sit and chat for a while."

"There happen to be a few roles. You guys, take a look. If you want to participate, you can give it a try."

Gao Yuan smiled and nodded.

The four of them walked towards the crew's office together.

After a few people sat down, Director Zhang got a bottle of water for all three of them, "The conditions are limited, so I can only let you drink mineral water."

"Director Zhang, you're welcome."

"Director Ding just showed me a list of roles, and it just so happens that my friend wants to try out one of the roles. Director Zhang, can you take a look?"

Gao Yuan took the mineral water and talked about Su Ming.

"No problem, let the little girl go try it out first and join the group later."

Director Zhang glanced at Su Ming next to Gao Yuan. He couldn't tell the relationship between this little girl and Gao Yuan.

It's just a small role, so why wouldn't he do it as a favor?

He turned to Su Ming and asked, "Su Ming, are you interested in acting?"

Su Ming nodded nervously: "Yes, I have always dreamed of entering the entertainment industry and playing different roles."

Director Zhang smiled and said: "Very good, what acting requires is passion and perseverance for performance. Since you are interested, I will give you a chance to try and see how good your performance is."

Su Ming's mood suddenly became excited, and she looked at Director Zhang gratefully: "Thank you, Director Zhang, I will work hard!"

With that said, Director Zhang called Ding Hong over and explained everything in front of Gao Yuan.

Then Ding Hong took Su Ming and left.

Su Ming needs to put on makeup, understand some lines, and do an audition.

After Su Ming left, the three of them were chatting, and the topic somehow got to Liu Yifei.

"Mr. Gao, who are Liu Yifei and you?"

Director Zhang asked tentatively.

"Friends, right?"

Gao Yuan looked at Director Zhang and said lightly.

Director Zhang said oh, thoughtfully.

During this time, he also heard that Liu Yifei was filming a movie. Although she was the starring role, she found the director herself.

She is actually equivalent to the role of assistant director.

It's just that both of their movies are martial arts-related, and they are probably scheduled to be in the same period.

He also heard that the investor behind Liu Yifei was Gao Yuan, so he asked.

Gao Yuan noticed Director Zhang's thinking and couldn't help but smile: "Director Zhang, you also know that Liu Yifei is my friend. I just provided her with some help."

Director Zhang nodded, seeing that Gao Yuan was not willing to say more.

Director Zhang smiled, then turned to Wang Sichao and said, "Sichao, what are you doing here?"

Wang Sichao drank water and said with a smile: "Actually, there is nothing special. I just want to bring Gao Yuan to see the scenes you filmed."

"Brother Yuan wants to invest in some movies, so I'll bring him to your place to have a look first."

Director Zhang's eyes lit up after hearing this.

He happened to have a script in hand.

Originally, it was planned to start filming the film completely.

Since Gao Yuan also wants to play movies, why not show this movie and talk about it.

By deciding it in advance, he can also save a lot of things.

"Mr. Gao, when it comes to investing in movies, I happen to have a script in hand."

"After this movie is over, I will most likely start filming."

"Moreover, it will be released in the form of a Lunar New Year film."

Director Zhang directly told Gao Yuan what was on his mind.

"Oh, a New Year's film?"

Gao Yuan became interested after hearing what Director Zhang said.

He knew Director Zhang's reputation, he was rigorous in filming, and he was a person with a strong desire for control.

Success for such people is inevitable.

Therefore,
Gao Yuan still trusts each other when it comes to filming movies.

Since the other party thinks it’s a good script and plans to shoot it and release it as a New Year’s film, it’s obvious that the movie has enough selling points.

The possibility of losing money is extremely low and the possibility of making money is very high.

"I don't know what type of movie this is?"

Gao Yuan asked curiously.

"Romance movie."

"I bought the script from Qidian Chinese website."

Director Zhang said with a smile.

"Adapted from a web novel?"

Gao Yuan suddenly became more interested when he heard Director Zhang mentioned the Qidian Chinese website.

"Yes."

"It is adapted from another book called "Shenhao Cultivation Manual"."

Next, Director Zhang gave Gao Yuan a brief introduction to the script.

This novel "Shenhao Cultivation Manual" has multiple female protagonists, so I adapted it, or took the emotional line between the male protagonist and a female protagonist to form this script.

The reason why Director Zhang wanted to make this movie was because he wanted to change the current social atmosphere through movies.

Let women care more about men, and at the same time tell women that good men are like cabbage in the vegetable market. If you go late, there will be no more.

Don't hold it all day long, being arrogant and cowardly, thinking that no one can live well without her.

Gao Yuan did not expect that Director Zhang would adapt the script from this novel.

Unfortunately, he was also reading this novel.

He felt that many of the emotional lines in it could be used to make movies.

"Director Zhang, are you still short of investors?"

Gao Yuan also got straight to the point.

He came to Hengdian this time to have fun in the entertainment industry.

Spend money, that's for sure.

Now that I have met Director Zhang, I will feel more at ease if he spends his money here.

"Hahaha!"

"This movie is not in preparation yet, and I haven't contacted investors yet."

"If Mr. Gao is interested, we can chat first."
