Huayu: Start by asking ex-girlfriends for alms

Chapter 247 Senior, can you dig me up?

To be honest, Zhang Mo's looks and figure are indeed pretty good. With some makeup and dressing up, she can be called a beauty.

But that is only for ordinary people.

Can she be compared to Cheng?
Hu Jing, Sun Li, Dabai, Qin Lan. She can't compare to any of them.

Not to mention the vixen Fan Bingbing, even the little Christmas reindeer is far ahead!
Zhen Jiecheng has already seen through it. This is definitely the work of the old man.

But Zhen Jiecheng can also understand.

Perhaps in the eyes of a father, there may be many people who are prettier than his wife, but his daughter is undoubtedly the best in the world.

All the opposite sex who approach his daughter are suspects of "yellow hair".

Thinking of this, Zhen Jiecheng was too lazy to argue any more, otherwise he would have ulterior motives.

He touched his head angrily and muttered,
"Fuck you, old man, you take me for granted!"

"Uncle Zhen, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly."

"No, nothing." Zhen Jiecheng waved his hand, "Let's go, get in the car!"

"Okay, uncle!"

Of course Zhang Mo came here for more than just studying.

In addition to changing the environment and healing the effects of a failed marriage, the next option is... gilding!
"No Return" is destined to go down in film history, and every name on the crew list will be engraved on the monument along with the film.

paving!

Leaving Zhen Jiecheng aside, the old masters in the editing room may not be well-known to the outside world, but their professional abilities, their status in their respective units, and their apprentices have a comprehensive influence that is extraordinary.

If Zhang Moruo wants to work in the film and television industry in the future, these people will be the best connections for her to build a team. At the same time, they will also be a very important voice in award nominations and the distribution of cakes selected by relevant associations.

"I know you are studying for your master's degree at the Film School of Xinxiang University, which is as famous as the Film Schools of USC and UCLA."

"Uncle Zhen, I was recommended by Director Li An. You know how important a letter of recommendation is to a university in America."

"That's not important!" Zhen Jiecheng shook his head. "Since you called me uncle, no matter what the reason is, I have to fulfill my duty of reminding you."

Open the car window, light a cigarette,

"In China, college students from film and television schools who don't have resources often work as extras during their vacations to practice what they've learned and get familiar with the set, but most crews are unwilling to recruit them."

“Even if they are the same price and have better performance capabilities.”

"Do you know the reason?"

"Because it's hard to manage?" Zhang Mo answered tentatively, "Students and college students have teachers and schools behind them. If problems arise, it will be very troublesome?"

"You're right." Zhen Jiecheng nodded, "But there is another important reason!"

“Because these people think they know a lot and have their own ideas.”

After he finished speaking, he shut his mouth.

Zhen Jiecheng drove attentively, leaving Zhang Mo alone to think quietly.

Wait until you arrive at the company and park the car.

"Curb your pride, whether it's your academic qualifications or the confidence given by your father."

"If you want to go down this path, learn how to be a good apprentice first."

"Zhang Mo, I may be a little too polite to say that."

"But who told you to call me uncle?"

"Your father and I not only went to the same school."

My thoughts were drawn to the "battlefield" of preparing for the opening ceremony of the Olympics.
"We are still comrades!"

"Accomplice!"

"Even classmates!"

If the Planning Office has the courage and ability.

Under Zhang Mo's puzzled look, Zhen Jiecheng opened the car door.

"What are you still standing there for? Get out of the car!"

"Ah? Oh!"

Zhang Mo quickly unbuckled his seat belt, got out of the car, and followed Zhen Jiecheng's footsteps.

"Gentlemen!"

"Dear aunties!"

"Dear brothers, sisters and teachers!"

"Considering how hard your work is, I specially found an errand boy!"

Zhen Jiecheng pushed Zhang Mo to the front of the stage.

"Serve tea, pass water, massage shoulders, rub legs. Please give me whatever you want!"

"Zhang Mo? Why are you here?" Zhao Jiping was stunned. "Aren't you in America?"

As his father's old partner, Zhao Jiping recognized him at a glance.

"Uncle Zhao, I'm here to be an editing assistant! Emmm, no, I'm here to be an apprentice." Zhang Mo said with a smile, "My dad and I had a chat, so I came back."

"Uncle Zhen happened to have a project here, so I came over to learn."

"Well! I'm glad you're back. Your dad will be relieved. You made the right decision to study the Jiecheng program! Jie, wait a minute!" Zhao Jiping opened his eyes wide, "What did you call Jiecheng just now?"

"Uncle Zhen!"

"Uncle Zhen?" Zhao Jiping looked at Zhang Mo, then at Zhen Jiecheng.

Motivating everyone to repeat the same actions in unison.

The editing room suddenly became quiet. The stiff faces seemed to be tense, but they could not control the intermittent twitching of their facial muscles.

"Cough cough cough!" Zhen Jiecheng broke the silence.

"Teacher Zhao, I know it very well. You just need to think about it a few times and you will understand it clearly."

“It’s clear who taught and why.”

"So laugh if you want to. I'm thick-skinned anyway, so you don't need to worry about hurting me."

Wave your hands,
"Damn it! Three people can make a tiger, and constant criticism can destroy a person. Rumors can melt gold, and people's words are terrifying!"

"Hahaha!"

The editing room was instantly filled with a happy atmosphere.

The post-production process is very boring.

In order to achieve excellence, the progress is very slow.

Zhang Mo, on the other hand, finished reading the masterpiece that was highly praised by her father while doing odd jobs and observing.

At this moment, Zhang Mo finally understood the admiration and even envy on his father's face when he mentioned it.

But they kept it a secret and kept it a secret, saying that it would be more shocking and surprising if you saw it with your own eyes.

as predicted!

An unexpected surprise, an indescribable shock.

"One shot through the whole thing!"

“This can actually be filmed?”

"A single shot creates a multi-camera look, light, position, composition, angle, technique," Zhang Mo recited like a menu, "too detailed! Even more sophisticated than Uncle Zhen's previous film Parasite, the complexity is on a different level!"

“How many times of trial and error did it take to come up with such a seamless design?”

"It took more than half a year just for the actors to rehearse! The script came with a map, and the positions were precise to the point, and the movements were strict to the line." Zhang Yifan looked up, "I heard from Teacher Cao Jiuping that a scaled-down model of the set was made. The time and energy spent on simulation alone is more than that of an ordinary movie!"

Zhang Yifan's summary only took one sentence, but to Zhang Mo, it was terrifying when he thought about it carefully.

"Uncle Zhen is too strong!"

"Normal," Zhang Yifan nodded, his tone calm, as if he was describing the most ordinary thing, "He is Zhen Jiecheng."

"Okay, calm down and continue to help me. Study hard and ask questions if you have any questions."

"Okay, Brother Fan."

Continue to be busy in an orderly manner.

Not long after, Zhang Mo went to prepare a notebook so that he could take notes at any time.

The impression of the director and editor "quarreling" is completely invisible here. There are only dozens of long shots in total, and the editing points in chronological order are precisely calculated and cannot be cut!
All the conventional "experiences" were completely broken. Zhang Mo not only became an apprentice in mentality, but also behaved like an apprentice.

As if they were on a "pilgrimage", everyone was fully committed, fearing that even the slightest mistake would cause a glaring flaw.

Influenced by such an atmosphere, Zhang Mo also forgot the scars of domestic violence in her failed marriage.

Cheer for the perfect connection of every editing point and applaud for every precise color grading.

Although the celebration of each phased achievement is simple, it has a sense of ritual. Zhang Mo does not think this is an exaggeration at all, and only in this way can it be worthy of this work.

Unconsciously, the post-production progress of "No Return" has gradually extended.

Music mixing, special effects processing, dubbing synthesis
"Wow~"

Amidst the thunderous applause, Zhang Mo's cheeks flushed with excitement.
"Uncle Zhen, please say a few words!"

"Wait, let me record it with my camera!"

In the camera, Zhen Jiecheng stood in the center of the crowd, full of energy and vigor.

“In a few months, the whole world will know our work!”

“In a few months, our colleagues around the world will be amazed at our achievements!”

"In a few months, film and television students all over the world will be annoyed by the extra homework we bring!"

After a pause, his tone suddenly rose.

"One year later, ten years later, one hundred years later!"

"We still live in textbooks and are engraved in film and television monuments!"

"Wow~" The applause became even more enthusiastic and lasted for a long time.

There are no secrets in the circle.

The news that the post-production of "Never Return" was completed quickly spread.

Lao Mouzi, Senior Brother Chen, Jia Zhangke, Gu Changwei... A group of Beijing Film Academy directors asked one after another.

Even Wang Mojing who was far away in Hong Kong called, and everyone wanted to see it first.

Seeing this, Zhen Jiecheng had no choice but to agree, with Beijing Film Academy taking the lead and arranging an internal film screening.

But this specification obviously cannot be summarized as a "film screening", and it would be more appropriate to use the term "exchange meeting".

"Otherwise, how can you say he's your own child?"

"Jiecheng rejected the China Film Academy without a second thought and directly handed it over to the school." Dean Zhang Huijun's wrinkles on his face were all smiling, "Old Tian, do you know? When Old Han called me, his tone was so sour!"

"If you ask me, Old Han is sitting on the wrong side of the wall!"

"You've only been President Han for a few years! Have you forgotten that your alma mater is Beijing Film Academy? He~tui!"

"You're the fucking dean! Can you show some manners?" Tian Zhuangzhuang glared, "I just made some tea and you spit on it!"

"Just soak it again, that's all. It's no big deal!" Zhang Huijun curled his lips. "Besides, how dare you talk about quality? I strongly suspect that you were the one who hung the human figure on the dormitory wall. Otherwise, why were you so excited when the Academic Affairs Office came to inspect? All you talk about is 'art', inciting the masses in various ways, and covering up this matter."

"Bullshit!" Tian Zhuangzhuang stiffened his neck, "I'm not! I didn't!"

"Haha~ You can make excuses all you want! Anyway, I'll make one thing clear: the sexual awareness enlightenment of our 78-level male compatriots is generally recognized as the instigator!"

"I" Tian Zhuangzhuang was speechless.

The former can be refuted, but the latter is really not controversial at all.

There's nothing we can do. There are just too many witnesses.

Seeing that Tian Zhuangzhuang was silent, Zhang Huijun proudly took a sip of tea, savoring the aftertaste of being a winner, and then spoke again.
“To put it simply: through this screening, we can demonstrate the influence of Beijing Film Academy.”

"In addition to our Beijing Film Academy director, there are also Jiang Wen from the Central Academy of Drama, Wang Jiawei from Hong Kong, Li An from Taiwan, and many more!"

"There are great scholars among them, and no unlearned people among them. Pick any one of them at random, and they all have a long list of honors!"

"Those who haven't won an award at the Europa League are too embarrassed to come! For example, Feng Xiaogang was quite tactful and declined the invitation."

"Otherwise, he would be the only 'white man' in the room, and he would stand out too much and feel uncomfortable no matter what he does!"

He took out a cigarette, lit it, and turned serious.

"In a broader sense, this is a cultural exchange between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and Hong Kong and Macau."

"It just so happens that this work by Jie Cheng is based on the Guo army, and it was set as a model by the higher-ups when the project was first launched."

"Instead of directly instilling the concept of 'unity' to the other side, we use film and television art to build a bridge of communication and exert a subtle influence."

"So, Mr. Tian, you must take this seriously. Cooperate with the school to organize this 'film screening' successfully, and then try to keep these people here and give our students more lectures!" "You don't need to remind me!" Director Tian rolled his eyes.

"By the way, it's not just the two sides of the Taiwan Strait or Hong Kong."

"Mr. Mueller called me and he's coming too!"

The Beijing Film Academy campus, which was already cramped and could not be quiet, became even more lively.

Especially the acting department!

Wang Jinsong held several meetings in a row, instructing the class teachers to select suitable students to serve as receptionists and to carry out etiquette training and rehearsals.

It was clearly the directing/photography department's job, but the acting department was extremely busy.

When it comes to "not doing one's job properly", the Department of Performance is the most professional!
The parrot that was scratched by a stray cat finally recovered and "returned as a king". The dean personally came to the reception room to express his condolences:

"Sir, the stray cats in this neighborhood are going to start to overrun the area again in the next few days!"

"I heard there's a guy who's so strong he can pry open a cage!"

"For the safety of our school mascot, do you think it should be allowed to go home and hide for a while? Out of the spotlight?"

"After all, freedom is precious, but performing arts is even more precious. If it's for life, both can be abandoned!"

Faced with Zhang Huijun’s kind reminder, the old man was very moved and left with the bird cage.

The silly bird was also very moved and left a series of "tama" in a clear and loud voice.

"Wow, what kind of movie did you shoot, senior? So many big directors are here!"

"It's a one-shot video! It's all over the place, and you don't even know about it?"

"Of course I know! But how exactly is it done in one shot? Specifically..."

"Don't be so specific! If you want to be specific, make a movie and win an award at the Europa League, then you can get an invitation!"

Everyone was busy with the arrangements and chattering about the matter.

As the photography assistant, director assistant, lighting assistant, stage manager, and rehearsal assistant of "No Return", Jing Tian did not ask for salary but paid for fruits and tea! She smiled and responded to the questions from her classmates with a pair of ignorant eyes.

Then continue to work, floating around like a happy little butterfly.

Looking at Jing Tian's figure, Yang Mi had never been so envious as she was at this moment.

It’s nice to have a background!
You can be unbridled and happy, without any worries.

No need to struggle for resources, no need to be.
"Mimi, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Xiaofei said.

"No, nothing."

"Don't deny it, it's all written on your face! You've had this expression since you came back yesterday." Zhang Xiaofei patted Yang Mi's shoulder, trying to comfort her, "Did you encounter any problems?"

"Emm, yeah."

"Is it troublesome? Is it difficult to solve?"

"Not very," Yang Mi shook her head, "very much!"

"Do you need my help?"

"No, you can't help!" He forced a smile, "Okay, Xiaofei, go ahead and do your work. I'll think of a way myself and I'm sure I can solve it."

Yang Mi tried to comfort herself, but couldn't.

After the project of "Dream of Red Mansions" was launched, Yang Mi heard some rumors, but she didn't take them to heart.

After all, the director of "Dream of Red Mansions" is the boss Li Shaohong. As a contracted artist of Rong Xinda, even if the rumors are true, they will not fall on me.

After returning from the Venice Film Festival, Yang Mi was even less worried.

Among all the actors, I have the biggest status! But I only "married" a supporting role "Qingwen".

I’ve already “sacrificed”, okay?

But when Yang Mi noticed Li Shaohong's tacit attitude, her confidence was immediately reduced.

As more details emerged: billionaire investors were acting as matchmakers, and the mysterious tycoon was said to have connections everywhere.

Money and power, the pressure released when the two are added together instantly wiped out Yang Mi's remaining self-confidence.

"You've been thinking about it for a long time, but you still have nothing to show for it. What's the point of continuing to think about it?" Zhang Xiaofei advised, "Why don't you go ask the senior?"

"Those involved are confused, but those who are watching can see things more clearly. Senior, maybe you have a solution!"

"It's no use bothering the senior." Yang Mi shook her head again, "This matter is not what you think. The senior..."

"You didn't even ask, how can you be sure it's useless?" Zhang Xiaofei interrupted Yang Mi, "Hurry up, don't dilly-dally!"

"Hey, senior, are you in school?"

"I'm at the company. What's wrong, Mimi?"

"Senior, I have something I want to consult you about."

"Okay, tell me."

"Senior, can I go to your company and consult in person?"

"What's going on? Why is it so mysterious?" Zhen Jiecheng said with a smile, "Okay, then come over here."

After hanging up the phone, Zhen Jiecheng continued to work at his desk to reduce the burden on Cheng Hao who was working remotely.

Soon, there was a knock on the door.
"Enter!"

"Hey, why are you so sad?" Zhen Jiecheng looked up and glanced at Yang Mi who came in. "Find a place to sit. If you want to drink tea, go make it yourself."

"If you have something to say, let me say it. Although it's only six o'clock now, it's winter and it's completely dark outside. So it's not good for a man and a woman to be alone at night. If it gets out, it will ruin my reputation."

"Senior, does your reputation really need to be ruined?" Yang Mi forced a stiff smile.

"Nonsense! How old are you? If I have a serious scandal with you, won't my image collapse? What's the difference between image and reputation?" Zhen Jiecheng spat angrily, "Fuck! Now everyone thinks I'm in a relationship."

"I'm going to dye my hair yellow! I'm going to find someone I don't like, and I'm going to dig out the cooked ones and the raw ones! I'm going to take away the pot and the pot!"

"Can you dig me first?" Yang Mi suddenly asked.

"You?" Zhen Jiecheng rolled his eyes. "Why would I dig you? I don't dislike you."

"By the way, don't you have something to say? Tell me."

"Senior, I might be taken advantage of."

"Implicit rules?" Zhen Jiecheng asked doubtfully.

"Yes, I'm on the set of Dream of the Red Chamber."

"Then talk to Senior Sister Li! She is not only the director of A Dream of Red Mansions, but also your boss." Zhen Jiecheng replied subconsciously.

Then he was stunned.
"Dream of Red Mansions" and "unwritten rules" are two key words that lead to a long-fuzzy memory from the previous life, and the word "selecting a concubine" gradually becomes clear.

A female boss named Ding who started out as a coal dealer and a locomotive master.

It is said that except for Granny Liu and Old Lady Shi, almost all the others had their names turned over in turn.

The exact truth is unknown, but one thing is certain: he did visit her quite a few times!

"Senior, Director Li..."

"Tell me, how do you want me to help you?" Zhen Jiecheng interrupted Yang Mi.

"Senior, can you help me?"

"It should work."

"Senior, I haven't told you the details yet."

"No need!" Zhen Jiecheng shook his head, "I don't know anything, and I don't need to know."

"Senior, can you dig me up?"

"Shit! Why are you talking about planing again? Seriously!"

"I'm just being serious!" Yang Mi gritted her teeth, "Dig me out of Congrong Xinda and into your company, senior. I'll pay the penalty myself, and you can help me make up the difference, and I'll pay it back later."

Looked up,
"Senior, I swear, I can definitely create huge economic benefits for the company!"

"I can film, participate in shows and events non-stop"

"Stop, stop, stop! You don't need to make big promises here!" Zhen Jiecheng waved his hand, "Go sit out for a while, I'll call Senior Sister Li. By the way, close the door."

"Okay, senior." Yang Mi nodded.

Walk out of the office quickly and close the door.

I suppressed the urge to put my ear to the door, put on my headphones, listened to music quietly, and waited for the result.

Not in a hurry to make a phone call, Zhen Jiecheng first sorted out his thoughts.

Is it worthwhile to sign Yang Mi?

Of course it’s a good deal!

Zhou Jielun is known as Little Yang Mi, and Yang Mi is a serious little soldier!
The same workaholic, the same “black and red” topic queen.

The reason why he is called "Little Soldier" is not only because he lacks some charm, but also because of his acting skills.

Even though Yang Mi in this life has been influenced by Zhen Jiecheng and her strength has improved compared to the same period in her previous life, she is still much inferior to the vixen.

Will signing Yang Mi offend anyone?

meeting!
But it seems to have no effect!
Putting aside his identity as a famous director, his contribution to the Olympic opening ceremony, and the blessing of his wealth and status, Zhen Jiecheng is confident just by his "golden body" and his close adoptive father.

As for the other party, in just two years, it happened exactly like the sentence quoted by Cao Xueqin from "Peach Blossom Fan": I watched him build a red building, I watched him entertain guests, and I watched his building collapse.

Besides, Yang Mi’s weight is not as high as imagined. For the locomotive, it may just be one of the many cards it wants to turn over.

Isn't Yao Di, who plays Wang Xifeng, attractive? Yao Di is at her peak at this stage, even more so than when she first heard about the chapter!

There is also Li Qin who plays the young Xue Baochai, Bai Bing who plays the adult Baochai, and Zhao Liying who plays a small supporting role.

Oh yes, there is even Lin Miaoke who plays the young Lin Daiyu!
Thinking of this, Zhen Jiecheng picked up his phone.

It’s so heartbreaking to see Bingbing working so hard for her dream alone. It’s just right to find someone to accompany her!
Only when there are two of us can there be competition! Only then can it be rolled up!
You won’t feel tired while rolling, after all, just a glance at each other will immediately boost your fighting spirit!
Oh shit! Just thinking about it makes me excited!
"du~du~du~"

"Hey, Senior Sister, this is Jie Cheng! I want to talk to you about something."

"It's like this, I want to poach your people."

"Senior Sister, you know me. I always say what I think and never hide anything."

"I want to poach Yang Mi! Let's talk business, what price do you think is suitable? I can also exchange some character resources."

"du~du~du~"

The ringing interrupted the music. Yang Mi opened her eyes and looked at the screen. It was Li Shaohong's call.

I quickly answered the call.
"Hello, Director Li."

"Mi Mi, did you take the initiative to find Jie Cheng?"

"Emmmm, yes."

"Come to the company tomorrow to deal with the contract. From now on, you will be an artist of Jiecheng Film and Television Company! In addition, you can continue to act in the play "Dream of Red Mansions". I will adjust the filming plan and finish your part as soon as possible."

"Okay, I understand, Director Li." Yang Mi's tone remained unchanged, still well-behaved, but a smile had already appeared on the corners of her mouth.

"Work hard in the future! Don't let down the price Jiecheng paid for you."

"Director Li, what price did the senior pay?" Yang Mi asked hurriedly.

"You know that the investor of Dream of the Red Chamber is a billionaire, right?"

"Yeah!" Yang Mi nodded.

"Then do you know who the investors' matchmaking services are for?"

Without waiting for Yang Mi to speak, Li Shaohong continued to ask,

"A few years ago, you went to film in another city. How did you get there?"

"Emmm, take the train."

"That's the one in charge of this, the biggest one!"

"du~du~du~"

The phone hangs up.

Yang Mi sat on the sofa in a daze, the corners of her mouth that were raised quickly fell back and then stiffened.
