Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 160 In order to film the movie, I went back to high school to repeat my studies for 15 days.

It's called creation.

In fact, after so many years, Chen Cheng has almost forgotten many of the plots in "You Are the Apple of My Eye".

I only remember the names of some of the main characters.

But that doesn't matter.

When Chen Cheng wrote this script, he absorbed more of the core of the drama.

As for some specific plots, with Chen Cheng's 80-point writing attribute, he can completely play out his own ideas.

not to mention.

This drama was previously a Taiwan drama, and many of its contents and scenes needed to be modified.

Therefore, Chen Cheng was quite adept at creation.

But no matter how it is modified, the essence remains unchanged.

The most sincere feelings in everyone's heart on campus have not changed.

"Teacher Zeng, I'm Chen Cheng."

I'm halfway through writing the book.

Chen Cheng stopped.

It’s not that I don’t know how to write it, but Chen Cheng feels that something is missing.

This is also normal.

After all, this book was not originally written by Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng just moved it over.

Although Chen Cheng does understand the core of this work.

But when Chen Cheng actually wrote it, it still lacked a little flavor.

But Chen Cheng was not troubled.

After filming for a long time, Chen Cheng has plenty of ways to solve the problem.

Since it’s missing a little flavor, why not just make up for it?
Chen Cheng called his high school class teacher, Zeng Chongrong.

Zeng Chongrong was surprised to receive Chen Cheng's call:

"Chen Cheng, why did you think of calling me?"

"Teacher Zeng, I miss you."

"Go away, you will miss me. You are one of the naughty ones in the class. If you were not an art student, I would have kicked you out long ago."

"Teacher Zeng, I didn't expect that I was like this in your eyes."

"Haha... now that you've graduated, I'll tell you the truth."

"Thank you, Mr. Zeng, for not killing me back then."

"Don't give me this, what's the matter?"

"Um, are you still teaching senior year?"

"Yeah, what?"

"I would like to study for a few more days, please."

"How many more days will you study?"

Zeng Chongrong was stunned: "What's your situation? Are you repeating a grade? Is there anyone who repeats a grade like you? You are already a junior."

"No, I just want to study for a few days. You know, I'm studying acting. There was a school-themed movie recently, but I couldn't find the feeling right away, so I wanted to take a few days of classes at school to find the feeling."

"Does filming have to be this hard?"

“It’s not easy to film now.”

"Okay, I'll talk to the principal. When will you come?"

"at any time."

have to say.

Although our class teacher Zeng Chongrong is indeed strict, he is still a very nice person.

After Chen Cheng’s phone call, Zeng Chongrong called Chen Cheng the next day.

During the call, Zeng Chongrong reminded Chen Cheng: "You have graduated for almost three years, and you are definitely different from a high school student. When you get to school, first get a student haircut, then buy some student clothes, and then come to me to get a set of school uniforms."

Chen Cheng sighed that Teacher Zeng was so thoughtful.

……

A few days later.

Chen Cheng returned to his alma mater, Xinfeng No. 2 Middle School.

Receive school uniform, meal card, books, etc. from Teacher Zeng.

"Be quiet for a moment. I'm introducing a new classmate to you, Chen Cheng."

Zeng Chongrong introduced Chen Cheng to everyone in the class.

Although a group of students discovered how Chen Cheng arrived in the class halfway.

But there are too many things like this, so it's not too rare.

"Chen Cheng, how much did you score last year?"

"300 points."

"You're coming to repeat the year with 300 points?"

"It's hard to say, maybe I can get 500 points this year."

"Nonsense, you can increase the score by 100 points, God bless you."

There were many repeaters in the class, and when they heard that Chen Cheng was also a repeater, they all spoke out of curiosity.

"Then why did you come to our class halfway?"

"You don't believe me if I tell you?"

"Why, tell me."

"Don't you find that our class study committee member is very beautiful?"

"Fuck, you're setting your sights on our class beauty."

"how?"

"You can't like her."

"why?"

"Because she is my goddess."

"She's also my goddess."

Several other male classmates also said: "If you have any unreasonable thoughts, we will duel with you."

"come."

Chen Cheng struck a pose.

One punch.

Chen Cheng was beaten so badly by that classmate that his eyes turned black.

of course.

That classmate wasn't having a good time either.

Of course, this was asked by Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng has 80 points of physical fitness, and has learned so many martial arts routines.

Not to mention one, even if there are 10, Chen Cheng is no problem.

natural.

The two of them fought, and Chen Cheng was called to the office one by one by the class teacher.

Staring at Chen Cheng, Zeng Chongrong angrily asked, "Chen Cheng, why did you say you wanted to come to school a few days ago?"

“Find the feeling you had in high school.”

"Well, you're just looking for a feeling. You came back to fight."

"You know what, Mr. Zeng, I found the feeling right away after this fight."

"Believe it or not, I will whip you."

“No, no, no, Mr. Zeng, it was a mistake, a mistake… I didn’t expect to fight. It’s just that I got punched by that guy, so I had to fight back.”

"You're still looking for excuses. Go back to Beijing Film Academy."

"I was wrong, Teacher Zeng. I won't dare to do it again next time."

"Not bad, you've done well in acting at Beijing Film Academy, and now you can act with me."

"Teacher Zeng, I was really wrong."

Chen Cheng swore countless oaths to Zeng Chongrong.

finally.

Zeng Chongrong saw that Chen Cheng seemed sincere in admitting his mistake, so he let him go.

……

"How's it going? The head teacher didn't spank you, did he?"

"Who am I? How dare the head teacher hit me?"

"Oh, you're still talking tough. But, damn, your punch is really powerful."

"I'm letting you."

"Ha, you're still giving in to me. Do you want us to do it again?"

"Come again, come again."

All of a sudden.

Both of them burst into laughter.

"Let me introduce myself again. My name is Qiu Quanlong."

"Chen Cheng."

Chen Cheng stretched out his right hand.

The two of them got to know each other through fighting.

Although they had a fight, their relationship instantly reached its peak.

"Hey, man, you really came here for our study committee member."

"if not."

"I'll support you, but I won't give up."

"It doesn't matter, let's chase together and see who succeeds."

"Okay."

The two made a gentleman's agreement.

But it's a pity.

Chen Cheng didn't stay in the class for long.

Only half a month later, Chen Cheng left.

I feel like I've found it, and there's no point staying in school.

Although many classmates in the class found it strange.

What does this guy do.

How come he suddenly came in and how come he suddenly left?

But for them.

The appearance of Chen Cheng was just an episode.

The most important thing for high school now is the college entrance examination.

Maybe some of the things happening right now are interesting.

But it will take several years for them to understand how precious those years were.

……

After returning from Xinfeng No. 2 Middle School, Chen Cheng wrote his notebook very quickly.

At this time, Chen Cheng not only had a feeling, but also felt divinely assisted in writing the plot.

When he wrote something happy, Chen Cheng would jump up and laugh out loud.

It was such a pleasant experience.

This experience reminded Chen Cheng of many things that happened in high school.

Those years, those people, those girls.

of course.

As a youth campus film.

His plots not only revolve around love, the stories set in youth campus are also very charming.

Like climbing over the wall to go to an Internet cafe to surf the Internet.

I discussed educational films with many classmates in the Internet cafe.

These are all wonderful memories.

In fact, Chen Cheng has many more stories about youth on campus in his mind.

In the previous life, there were also a series of classic youth campus plots, such as pregnancy, alcoholism, gangsterism, etc.

Although these plots are not very good, they were also very attractive in the previous life.

But Chen Cheng did not add these seemingly attractive contents into the book.

As for the reason.

That's it.

The style of the drama "Those Years".

This is a very pure youth campus film.

There is no pregnancy, no alcoholism, and no school violence.

Although each student has his or her own shortcomings, they also have countless advantages.

Every student here is cute.

No matter if it's the male lead or the male supporting role.

It doesn't matter if she is the female lead or the supporting female role.

It takes seven days.

In one breath, Chen Cheng finished writing "Those Years, We Chased the Same Girl".

……

"Director Han, the script is ready, take a look."

Although Han Sanping has already agreed to invest.

but.

Chen Cheng was not so proud that he didn't even show his manuscript to investors.

The next day, Chen Cheng sent the notebook to Han Sanping's email.

A few hours later.

Han Sanping returned a call.

"Director Han, have you finished reading the script so quickly?"

"I really value your book. However, I don't understand some of it."

"What don't you understand?"

"Isn't it too simple? The whole story revolves around a girl, and there isn't much of a plot conflict."

"What's the point of having so many conflicts? It's too complicated and people may not understand it."

Movies are a strange thing.

Even now, Chen Cheng believes that he only has a superficial understanding of movies.

But it's just the surface.

But Chen Cheng never thought that simplicity and straightforwardness were boring.

"Okay, as long as you like your movie, it's yours to make anyway. How much investment do you want?"

"1500."

"Is it a little less? Do you want more?"

"That's not necessary. I can't keep all the extra. I'll have to return it later."

The domestic film mechanism is actually very sound.

Even though Chen Cheng was a director, he did not dare to spend money carelessly, let alone move the money to other places.

In addition to the director, there are also producers, supervisors, and finance...etc. who are always keeping an eye on you.

But when he said no, Chen Cheng remembered, “Oh, 1600 million.”

"How come there is another 100 million increase?"

"100 million is for the script. I can't be both the director and the screenwriter. I'll just take one."

The last time Chen Cheng filmed was "Love Call Transfer".

Chen Cheng didn't get much money.

The main reason is that the investment is only more than 1000 million, and everyone gets so little, so Chen Cheng cannot make an exception.

This time.

Although the investment amount is only more than 1000 million.

But for this film, Chen Cheng planned not to use any stars, so there was still sufficient funds to shoot it.

"Isn't 100 million a bit expensive for a script?"

Han Sanping began to bargain with Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng said, "Is there any? Then I'll ask Guangguang for the price."

"Good boy, the light has been connected."

"It wasn't me who contacted him, it was him who contacted me, and I also agreed to Director Han and rejected them."

Of course, it’s not just traditional light.

Before, Chen Cheng missed the coal boss.

did not expect.

This time, a coal boss really came to see Chen Cheng.

But Chen Cheng still refused.

It’s not that this coal boss doesn’t have much money.

The main reason is that Chen Cheng now has a lot of investors and does not need the coal bosses to come.

What’s more, coal bosses only have money but no other resources.

This is not good for Chen Cheng.

Like China Film.

Not only does he have money, he also has resources and connections.

Don't say anything else.

Take auditing, for example.

Chen Cheng couldn't handle it himself, but if China Film Corporation took it, even if it wasn't completely approved, the efficiency of the work would be greatly improved.

"Okay, okay, one million is one million."

Although Han Sanping still thinks 100 million is a bit expensive.

But now and then.

Chen Cheng's current status is different from before.

"Thank you, Director Han."

Han Sanping agreed, and Chen Cheng was delighted.

He didn't force Han Sanping to accept this price.

The truth is that Chen Cheng knows his own situation.

Compared to capital like theirs, Chen Cheng was extremely poor.

In the past, Chen Cheng was poor and didn’t have many opportunities to make money.

Even if you are a director, although the salary is high, it is not as high as that of a star. It is hard-earned money.

This sum of money will naturally allow my whole family to live a worry-free life.

But when it comes to movies, it pales in comparison.

In a word.

Chen Cheng can’t keep asking them for investment when he makes films in the future.

Even if I'm looking for it.

If there is an opportunity and you have the funds, why not invest some yourself?

……

"Where are you, little bandit?"

"Retreat."

"Pfft...what level have you reached in seclusion?"

"It's about to ascend in broad daylight."

"Why do I feel like you're joking?"

"You know what? I recently joined the school's skit and crosstalk club, and I became the vice president."

"so smart?"

"That means you don't even know who I am?"

Everything went smoothly.

Soon after the script was sent to Han Sanping, Chen Cheng received 1600 million yuan in funding from China Film Group and Hengdian Film and Television.

As for how the 1600 million was divided between the two parties, Chen Cheng did not care too much.

As long as the money arrives, it's fine.

Also.

Chen Cheng also immediately pulled over all the behind-the-scenes producers of the crew.

It’s still the old partners, Wu Jingyuan, Lao Liu, and Zhang Lu.

of course.

Xiao Wu is still the boss of the dressing room.

This is the advantage of having a team, the efficiency is very high.

Although this team is not a formal team yet.

But with just one word from Chen Cheng, all the people came to kill him.

the other side.

Chen Cheng thought for a while and then went to Beijing Film Academy.

He is preparing to cast at the Beijing Film Academy.

The reason why the casting was chosen at Beijing Film Academy.

This is because Chen Cheng wanted to select amateurs.

of course.

It’s not completely vegetarian either.

It's okay if you have acted in one or two dramas occasionally.

Chen Cheng's standards.

That is.

You may have acted in movies, but you are not particularly famous and people don’t have much impression of you.

Then.

It would be most appropriate to look for it in school at this time.

"Hey, Chen Cheng, why are you calling me? Is there a new movie?"

"How come you are so smart? Do you have time to try out the camera?"

"What movie?"

"You'll know when you arrive."

"Forget it, Hengdian is too far, I won't go there."

"What a coincidence! I'm at school."

"You're back to school too?"

"Yes. Come quickly, I'm at the Alumni House, come and audition for the female lead."

Zhang Xiaofei couldn't help laughing: "I was asked to audition for the female lead, why do I feel like it's a scam?"

"Pfft... Xiaofei, your skit skills have improved dramatically recently. Come quickly, long time no see, let's chat..."

"Okay."

hang up the phone.

Although Zhang Xiaofei doesn't care whether the girl is the heroine or not.

But Chen Cheng still needs to be met.

of course.

Chen Cheng asked Zhang Xiaofei to audition, but he didn't really want her to play the leading female role.

Really let her play the heroine.

Others may not feel anything for the time being.

But Chen Cheng couldn't help but want to laugh.

What if during filming, whenever I see Zhang Xiaofei, I always burst into laughter...how can we continue filming?
Even more.

If Zhang Xiaofei had been the heroine of "Those Years", Chen Cheng would have doubted whether he was still filming "Those Years".
