Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 162 Why is the crew full of ragtag groups?
"Hello, classmate. I'm Chen Cheng, also a director. I think you're very suitable for a role in our play. Can you come for an audition?"

"I'm sorry, I don't like acting."

"Acting is actually not difficult. You can finish it in a month."

"Sorry, I have to take the postgraduate entrance examination."

"..."

Just a pity.

This classmate, who particularly fits the temperament of "Shen Jiayi", didn't seem to be impressed by what Chen Cheng said.

Even though Chen Cheng tried to persuade him several times, this student just shook his head.

"Headache."

no way.

Chen Cheng had no choice but to leave first.

The Department of Literature at Beijing Film Academy is a freak.

Although the Department of Literature belongs to Beijing Film Academy, it does not mean that these students like acting or movies.

Some people may just like literature.

Obviously.

So is this girl.

Although she was in an environment like the Beijing Film Academy, she naturally knew that many of her senior and junior classmates had accidentally soared to fame and become household names.

But for her, nothing is more important than taking the postgraduate entrance examination.

"How about giving her a high enough chip?"

After going back.

Chen Cheng investigated this classmate.

This classmate's name is Wu Qingqing.

I have been a top student since childhood and I still am so at the Beijing Film Academy.

She has published many novels and poems in various domestic literary magazines... She can be considered a talented woman in the Department of Literature of Beijing Film Academy.

"No, film funding is probably useless. Postgraduate entrance exams are more important than anything else. Besides, the investment in Those Years is just enough."

Chen Cheng also knew it.

Not just now, but in the future.

Taking the postgraduate entrance examination is also an important thing in life.

This is the top priority when getting ashore.

even.

In the industry, there are some actors who take their studies very seriously.

For the sake of his studies, he didn't even want to film any movies.

For example, Shu Chang who played the little fox in The Lotus Lantern.

Others were admitted to the Central Academy of Drama when they were in their second year of high school, but she refused and ended up going to BJ University of Foreign Languages.

What do you want Chen Cheng to say about this matter?

Everyone has his own ambitions.

Not everyone wants to be an actor.

Not everyone wants to be famous.

Everyone has their own life.

"Got to think of a way."

Tapping his fingers lightly on the table, Chen Cheng called Dean Wang Song.

"Hello, Dean."

"Chen Cheng, what's going on? You called me so early in the morning. Have you chosen the female lead?"

"No."

"Why is your efficiency so slow? There are so many students in Beijing Film Academy, but there is no one you like?"

"It's not that I didn't find anyone I liked, I found one, but he didn't want to come."

"What."

Wang Song was stunned: "There are still people who don't want to be actors, so why did she apply to Beijing Film Academy?"

"She's in the literature department."

"I said so."

Wang Song said: "The literature department is like this. I often don't understand their thoughts."

The Department of Literature is not better than the Department of Fine Arts or the Department of Photography.

No matter what you say about fine arts and photography, they are both closely related to film and television.

Many of the industries I will be engaged in in the future will be related to film and television.

But the Department of Literature also has a certain relationship with film and television.

However, those who study liberal arts do not necessarily have to pursue a career in film and television.

Many people like literature, like to write, and like to study ancient literary theory and so on.

He doesn't care whether he is filming or not.

"Yes, I tried to persuade him for a long time, but he just wouldn't agree."

"That can't be helped. As the dean, I can't force people to take photos."

"Dean, you misunderstood. That's not what I meant."

After arranging his words, Chen Cheng said, "I heard that this student seems to be preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination."

"Well, our school's postgraduate entrance exams will indeed begin in a few months."

"I mean, um, the dean... ahem..."

"What did you say?"

"Dean, come on, I can't explain it so clearly."

"You little brat, you've got your eyes on me. How can I mess around with something like the postgraduate entrance exam?"

"Dean, let's discuss this. As far as I know, this student is a top student and should be able to pass the postgraduate entrance examination. In my opinion, such an excellent student does not need to take the postgraduate entrance examination. He should be able to pass the postgraduate entrance examination directly. Don't you agree?"

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

"Don't dare, Dean, I was wrong."

"Don't have any bad ideas, little brat. Let me go find out what's going on."

"Ok."

in the afternoon.

Wang Song called Chen Cheng back.

"I just helped you with some work for classmate Wu. She agreed to talk to you. However, I don't think she has any interest in being an actor. You decide for yourself. This is all I can do."

"Thank you, Dean."

……

Fortunately.

With Wang Song's intervention, Wu Qingqing and Chen Cheng met.

Chen Cheng chatted with Wu Qingqing for an hour.

Most of the chats were about high school life.

An hour later.

Chen Cheng confirmed.

Wu Qingqing can definitely play the leading female role in "Those Years", that is, Shen Jiayi.

The reason is certain.

One is that Wu Qingqing's appearance is very similar to Shen Jiayi.

another.

Wu Qingqing and Shen Jiayi's experiences are very similar.

She is also a top female student.

Also has great high school memories.

I am also a little proud of my achievements.

just.

Chen Cheng was sure, but Wu Qingqing didn't think so.

This made Chen Cheng take out the script of "Those Years".

After reading the script, Wu Qingqing said with emotion: "This script is very well written. I think Shen Jiayi will also be a very popular character."

Seeing Wu Qingqing's interest, Chen Cheng said, "That's why I invited you to play Shen Jiayi."

But Wu Qingqing still shook her head: "I'm still sorry, I still have to take the postgraduate entrance examination. Besides... I also have to write a novel."

"what."

Chen Cheng was stunned: "Are you still writing novels?"

"Yes, I applied to the Department of Literature at Beijing Film Academy because I really like writing novels."

"Mr. Wu, what novel did you write? Can I take a look?"

"This can't be said."

Wu Qingqing suddenly felt a little embarrassed and shook her head.

But Chen Cheng was not in a hurry.

Since Wu Qingqing talked to me, it meant there was a breakthrough.

in particular.

After knowing Wu Qingqing's hobby, Chen Cheng felt more confident.

"Mr. Wu, I was wondering if you were writing an online novel."

This was Chen Cheng's guess.

The reason why I guess it’s an online novel.

This is because online novels have begun to rise in the country.

Online novel platforms, led by Qidian, have launched a series of excellent works.

Even though he is not as good as he was in his previous life.

But some top authors have already emerged.

Like Tang Jia San Shao, I Eat Tomatoes, Chen Dong...

Before that, there were some great books like Zhu Xian, Legend of the Little Soldier, and The Journey to the West.

Spread through the Internet.

Online novels have a great influence on modern urban youth.

"Hey, how do you know it's an online novel?"

Wu Qingqing was a little surprised.

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Actually, I also read online novels." "You read them too."

"Of course I do. I not only read online novels oriented toward men, I also read online novels oriented toward women."

"You also know about the female channel?"

"It's not just about women's stuff. I also know about palace fighting, time travel, overbearing female CEOs, and even BL."

"Do you like BL?"

Wu Qingqing couldn't believe it: "I just write about BL."

"puff……"

Chen Cheng almost couldn't hold it in.

did not expect.

This classmate Wu Qingqing actually likes BL, this is really...

"Oh, you write about BL, you are really a talented woman..."

The work "The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation" is simply a god-like existence.

Chen Cheng only spoke for about ten minutes, but Wu Qingqing was completely fascinated.

but.

Just at this time.

Chen Cheng suddenly shut up.

"Why is it gone? Keep going. Keep going."

"What's the plot behind this?"

"Did Wei Wuxian and Lan Wangji meet?"

Wu Qingqing kept talking.

Chen Cheng touched his head and said, "I haven't thought about this yet. I'll tell you when I have thought it through."

"Ah, I haven't thought about it yet."

"Correct."

"When do you want to think about it?"

"Don't worry, if you're interested, I'll write a few chapters every day."

"really?"

"of course it's true."

"Well, I'll wait for your latest story."

talking.

Wu Qingqing stood up and was about to go back.

But looking at Chen Cheng on the side, Wu Qingqing blinked and understood a little.

"Well, Chen Cheng, I want to ask, will filming take up a lot of time?"

"No, it only takes a month. If it's fast, I can finish it in 20 days. It won't affect your postgraduate entrance examination. Besides, I checked and found that you are a top student. There is no problem for you to pass the postgraduate entrance examination."

"The postgraduate entrance exam won't be a big problem, but I still have a novel to write."

At this point, Wu Qingqing sighed: "Forget it, forget it, I won't write that novel anymore. Compared to what you said today, what I wrote is simply rubbish."

"It's okay, we'll communicate more later."

Chen Cheng smiled inwardly.

Think about it a lot.

did not expect.

I actually found a breakthrough in online novels.

But yes.

Chen Cheng was a skit performer in his previous life.

The source of the short play is the online novel.

When it comes to understanding online novels, Chen Cheng’s vision cannot be said to be the best in the world, but it is estimated that there are not many people who can compare with him at this moment.

Dealing with a BL girl who has just entered the industry should be a piece of cake.

……

All done.

After all the roles were confirmed, "Those Years" officially started filming.

Same as the previous drama.

Chen Cheng didn't inform anyone much.

It’s just that Chen Cheng didn’t inform everyone.

But many media in the circle still paid attention to it and arrived early.

"Brothers, you are giving us free publicity."

Seeing a group of reporters, Chen Cheng greeted them.

What do media reporters say about this?

I have a headache even if I say it.

It doesn't cause headaches, and it's okay when used well.

"Director Chen, you are Mr. Billionaire. Even if you don't ask us to come, we have to come."

A group of reporters talked to Chen Cheng from time to time.

Chen Cheng waved his hand and said, "Brothers, we are all in the same circle. Don't tell others about Mr. Billionaire, or you'll get into trouble."

"Yes, yes, Director Chen, you are very low-key. By the way, what is the name of the film we are shooting this time?"

"'Those Years, We Chased the Same Girl'."

"Why is this name a bit colorful?"

"Go away... stop talking nonsense."

"Just kidding, what type?"

"Youth campus type."

"Same as 'Secret'?"

“Some of the same, but still not quite the same.”

"Why do I feel like all the actors in this crew are newcomers?"

"They are indeed all newcomers. Some of them have only acted in a few TV series and are not particularly famous."

"Isn't it too risky? After all, the protagonist of "The Impossible Secret" is still Jie Lun."

"How should I put it? It would be best if there were famous actors, but not having them doesn't mean the show is bad."

"Do you think that the movie "Those Years" can still break 100 million?"

"I don't know anything before it's released. Whether people like it or not, we'll have to wait and see."

"Thank you Director Chen, thank you Director Chen for accepting our interview."

Subsequently.

A group of reporters interviewed other actors in the crew.

For example, the male protagonist.

"Hello everyone, I am actor Zhang Wei."

"Hello Zhang Wei, what role do you play in the play?"

"I play the male lead in the play."

"How did you get selected by Director Chen?"

"I'm his classmate."

"Pfft...Student Zhang, what are you talking about?"

"Indeed, Director Chen asked me to tell the truth."

"Ok."

then.

A group of reporters interviewed Female No. 1.

"Hello everyone, I'm Wu Qingqing."

"Your introduction is weird. Why don't you say you are the actress Wu Qingqing?"

"Because I've never acted in a play before."

"Including TV series?"

"Yes, not only TV dramas, I have never acted in a play."

"Then how did you end up playing the leading female role in Those Years?"

"I can only say that I was tricked by the director."

"Fooling?"

"Can you tell me more specifically?"

"The thing is like this..."

……

After the interview, the reporters were stunned.

What's going on with this crew?

It seems like this crew is made up of a ragtag group of people.

If Chen Cheng wasn't the director who made a billion-dollar movie, they would have left in a minute.

This is not a movie.

Which small workshop company shot this promotional video?

"Director Chen, are some of the actors you hired not very professional?"

The reporters asked about Chen Cheng again.

Chen Cheng replied: "Yes, some are unprofessional. Many actors have not graduated yet, and some are acting for the first time."

"Director Chen, are you planning to have some fun with this film?"

"China Film Group and Hengdian Film and Television invested 1600 million yuan, which is not much, but still good... If I play around, I will be beaten to death by the two producers."

"Director Chen..."

At last.

A group of reporters didn't want to interview anymore.

Chen Cheng invited the reporters to have a meal.

And invite them to witness the first shot of "Those Years".

Several reporters took a look and felt that there was nothing interesting.

In the afternoon, everyone left.
