Huayu started as a substitute director

Chapter 9 Jade Rabbit Pictures
Chen Zhixi lowered his head and thought about it. This was indeed true. If he calculated carefully and cut some costs, it might be possible to accomplish it.

If she succeeds, it will be of great benefit to her regardless of whether the film is successful or not, because she has actually made a film and the experience is very valuable to her.

"Okay, I support you. I have 100 million in savings and I will invest it in it." Chen Zhixi decided.

300 million plus her 100 million is 400 million, and the gap is further narrowed.

This woman is quite rich. Fang Hong said, "Okay, I'll give you the profit according to the rules. Don't blame me if I lose money."

Chen Zhixi nodded to show his understanding.

She invested not because of how good the script was. No matter how good the script was, it still needed someone to shoot it. If it wasn't shot well, it would still be a bad movie. She mainly invested because of Fang Hong as a person.

"Now that we have four million, we can get started right away. You pay the one million first, and I'll pay the three million later."

Fang Hong took out a piece of paper and said, "Let's act separately. This is the schedule. You go and determine the filming location. The equipment and props needed are clearly written here. You can contact the rental company according to this."

Chen Zhixi took the piece of paper. The equipment, facilities, props and scenes needed for the film were clearly written down, and the prices and overall budget were also marked.

This makes the man look like a proper producer, and she looks like an assistant.

"What about the remaining shortfall?" she asked.

Four million is never enough. Don’t prepare everything and then run out of money halfway through filming. That would be no fun.

"I'll find a way to solve this." Fang Hong said.

Chen Zhixi didn't say anything then. Now she believed in this man's ability very much. She just wanted him to take the lead. She didn't understand anything anyway.

Now she has been following Fang Hong's footsteps consciously or unconsciously, with Fang Hong as the center.

This was a subtle behavior, and Fang Hong did it on purpose, to let this girl know who the leader was.

There was a subtle shift in the positions of the two!
The next day, Fang Hong asked someone to register a film and television company.

Registering a film company on your own is quite troublesome, as there is a lot of information to prepare and many requirements.

For example: three film and television personnel with film and television industry qualifications are also required to have a legal person, shareholder, supervisor, etc., as well as a lot of other conditions such as a commercial registered address.

So Fang Hong didn't bother with that. He just paid some money to have someone do it for him. Everything could be taken care of. Even if he needed someone else, he could take over temporarily. He could just set up the company and then quit.

He has almost spent all the ten thousand yuan that Liu Tianxian lent him. He still has to rely on the rich woman. If he doesn't have a rich woman to support him, he has to work hard on his own.

Fang Hong named his company: Jade Rabbit Pictures! Or Rabbit Factory for short.

It is as famous as companies like Goose Factory, Pig Factory, Cat Factory, Dog Factory, and Fox Factory. Although it is still very weak now, people still have to have dreams!

To make a movie yourself, you must have a main body, that is, a company. Although individuals are now allowed to invest in film projects, a company is still required for approval and review.

If you want to be on the big screen, you have to do this. If you don’t, no one will care about you, and the content you shoot can be uploaded to the Internet at will.

As long as it is not the kind of content that is harmful to society!
Moreover, in this era, online content censorship is not strict, and a lot of content that is not suitable for children can be seen, such as Qvod.

Even how Quark came from behind and seized the market was due to this.

You can steal small things, but when the big, blatant iron fist comes down, you have to be careful.

After arranging a series of things, Fang Hong returned to Beijing Film Academy. He was still a student, but his grades were not very good.

His poor grades don’t mean that he is not smart or professional, but that the Directing Department is the trump card major of Beijing Film Academy. It is the most difficult to get into, the most competitive, and there are many talented people.

So he doesn't stand out that much. Most people are just ordinary people, and the reborn ones don't have any extra brains.

Apart from the directing department, the trump card of Beijing Film Academy, the other two are photography and animation. Acting can only be ranked at the bottom, even inferior to literature and screenwriting.

The old campus of Beijing Film Academy is near Jimen Bridge in Xitucheng, Haidian District. If we look at it from the perspective of future generations, the place is filled with dirt, the campus is very small, the door lintel is low and it looks a bit shabby, and it is not as big as imagined.

It is said that because they were short of money at that time, they sold half of the already small plot of land to Lao Han, so it looks even smaller. An undergraduate college is not as big as an average high school.

Moreover, the dormitories are extremely simple, but this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that food is extremely expensive. A bowl of egg and tomato rice costs at least ten yuan.

The students are poor, and it was said that some of them rallied for their rights, and it was quite a big fuss. The school reduced the price by one yuan, but the quantity was reduced, and they also charged for takeout.

It was such a fuss, but ended up in vain.

This school has good professional capabilities, but its administrative efficiency is low.

When I entered the Beijing Film Academy, I saw many students and some stars who later became famous along the way. Of course, most of them were unknown and only a few of them could make it.

Take students studying directing for example, the survival rate after entering society is less than 10%, and many of them change their careers.

It is said that there is no threshold to become a director, but in fact the threshold is very high. It requires money and connections.

No threshold is the highest threshold!

He came to the photography department building and found his good friend and partner from his previous life, Yu Xian, in a classroom.

In their previous life, the two had a very close relationship. They started a business together, filmed a web drama together, and washed feet together. It was a revolutionary friendship.

The relationship is average now because it has not been tested by time.

It's the kind of acquaintance, but not particularly familiar.

We met when we were filming a short play for an exam. We had worked together before. The school requires students to submit short plays as assignments every semester, so this is a practical experience.

The two are from the same class, Class of 06, and will graduate this year. They are also facing the dilemma of finding a job, and they are both poor students with no background.

"Old. Classmate Yu."

Fang Hong almost called out the name from his previous life. He sat directly next to the man and moved closer, acting as if he was familiar with him.

Yu Xian is still very young now, not as natural in dealing with people as he was later. He is a little shy now and has some acne on his face.

Yu Xian was reading a book when he saw someone standing next to him. He was standing so close to him. He moved aside a little uncomfortably and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I want you to make a movie, are you willing to do it?" Fang Hong was very direct.

Yu Xian was surprised and asked with eyes wide open: "You haven't even graduated yet, and you're going to make a movie now?"

This guy is so talented. Others started with short films, but he started making movies before he even graduated from school.

For them who are still students, movies are something high-end. Some of their predecessors studied directing but never touched a movie in their entire life.

Only a few people get to watch the movie, most people are just like everyone else.

Just like Fang Hong in his previous life, his career ended with online movies, and the things he filmed were never shown in theaters until his death.

In this life, he wanted to start out by acting in movies, but there was no other way. The market does not allow online dramas now, and the traffic is not high, so he could only make movies.
