Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 180 "Love Call Transfer" is released.

"Boss Cai, you are the boss of the company, and you are the producer yourself?"

Hengdian.

The crew of Xian 3.

After looking at the project information of Xian 3, Chen Cheng said to Cai Yinong.

Cai Yinong poured Chen Cheng a glass of water and said, "The Tang people are not the same as they were before. As the boss, I have no choice but to do it myself."

"Is the director still Li Guoli?"

"Well, I want to fight a comeback for Xian 3, but I am not too sure about the others."

"Hey, where is Wu Jingyuan?"

"He... Ever since he started hanging out with you, a lot of film production companies have asked him to be an assistant director. He is now the busiest director at Tangren. Now we ask him to come back to film TV series, but he won't come back."

"Haha, movies are more popular than TV series."

"Yes, so I am very grateful to Director Chen for being the producer of our Immortal 3."

"You don't need to say thank you. Where's Hugo?"

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

I haven't filmed for several months, so it feels more homely to be back in Hengdian.

Cai Yinong brought Chen Cheng to the actors' rest area.

At this time, Hu Ge was chatting with several artists signed by Tangren.

Seeing Cai Yinong coming, Hu Ge and several artists hurried to greet her.

"Hugo, look, who's here."

Needless to say.

Hu Ge had already seen Chen Cheng, and said excitedly: "Brother Cheng, am I dazzled?"

"Hahaha, Hugo, long time no see."

The two hug.

When Chen Cheng was in the crew of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", he had a very good relationship with Hu Ge.

It's just that life changes so much.

Although Hu Ge became famous for his Sword of Immortal, he encountered an extremely serious car accident.

And Chen Cheng.

He is no longer the deputy martial arts instructor of the Chinese Paladin crew.

"how are things?"

"Fortunately, I can't die."

"Not bad, your attitude is good. I told Mr. Cai that no matter what you become, you are still the number one brother of Tangren."

"I have to thank Brother Cheng for always taking care of me. By the way, Brother Cheng, let me introduce you, this is Shisi, and this is Tang Yan, both of them are my two junior sisters."

"Hello."

Chen Cheng stretched out his right hand.

The two newly signed actors of Tangren responded excitedly: "Director Chen, we have heard about your legendary experience for a long time. We hope you will take care of us in the future."

Met with Hu Ge and had lunch together at noon.

in the afternoon.

Chen Cheng and Cai Yinong came to the office alone: ​​"Mr. Cai, Hu Ge seems to be in good condition."

"It's indeed OK. Although there are still some injuries on the face, they are not that obvious. In addition, the actors are also very excited that you can come to our Xian 3 as the producer. Their confidence has increased a lot."

"Look at what you said. I don't have that much energy."

"This is true. You don't know. I just revealed that you will be the producer of our Xian 3, and a number of TV stations have already discussed with us about the issue of satellite broadcasting. I have to thank you very much, otherwise, I would still be a little worried."

"It's not me. Xian 3 has the bonus of Xian 1. Xian 1 was so phenomenal, so Xian 3 can't be much worse. So a lot of TV stations want to sign a contract with you. However, it's agreed that I'm just a name on the show, and I may not have much time to join the crew."

Xian 3 is good though.

But Chen Cheng really didn't have time to join the crew.

Or you can’t say you don’t have time.

There is still some time if you squeeze it.

mainly.

During this period, Chen Cheng was thinking more about his own film.

Before his film is released, Chen Cheng will not take any major action for the time being.

"It's great that you can be listed as a name. How dare we let you really come to the crew to supervise everyone?"

Cai Yinong shook her head helplessly.

She also understood.

Chen Cheng is different now than before.

Never mind the TV series.

Ordinary movies may not be able to invite Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng had done a favor for the Tang people by agreeing to be listed in the list.

"By the way, Chen Cheng, what do you think of our Xian 3?"

"I think Xian 3 will be a comeback for you Tangren."

"How does it compare to Xian 1?"

"It's probably a little bit worse than the phenomenal level of Xian 1, but probably not that far behind."

At this point, Cai Yinong asked again: "Do you have any actors you like? Can you recommend them?"

"Haven't you decided on the actors?"

"It's not finalized yet, but we've confirmed Hu Ge, Shi Si, and Tang Yan, all of whom are our own actors. There are many other main roles that we haven't confirmed yet."

"This."

After thinking for a while, Chen Cheng said, "Then I will ask Mr. Cai for a favor in private and invite Yang Mi to play Tang Xuejian in the play."

"Yang Mi, the one who played the new version of Guo Xiang before?"

"Yes, he is also my classmate."

"This is not a favor. We owe you a favor. I'm also following this actor. He's a very talented actor."

"Since you agree, then you can contact Yang Mi and I won't say anything."

"no problem."

……

"Chen Cheng, I have good news for you?"

"What good news?"

"Xian 3 actually invited me to audition for the female lead."

"Ah... That's amazing. Congratulations, congratulations."

"No acting skills at all. Did you know that a long time ago?"

After meeting with Cai Yinong in Hengdian, Chen Cheng returned to Beijing Film Academy.

As soon as he arrived at school, Chen Cheng received a call from Yang Mi.

"Well, I did know in advance. I went to the crew of Xian 3 a few days ago and saw the list they had drawn up. Your name was on it."

"You weren't the one who recommended me."

"How could that be? I'm not in the crew of Xian 3."

"But you are the producer of Xian 3."

"It's just a name. Look, I'm back to school."

"Okay, then I'll go to Hengdian."

"Go ahead, good luck, play well, don't get eliminated and embarrass me."

"Tsk, my acting skills have improved a lot recently, okay."

"That's best."

Chatted with Yang Mi for a few words.

The next day.

Yang Mi went to Hengdian for the audition.

of course.

In fact, Yang Mi didn't need to audition.

One word from Chen Cheng was enough.

But you still have to go through the audition stage.

otherwise.

Cai Yinong also found it difficult to explain to other partners.

"Hello Director Li, hello everyone. I am actress Yang Mi. I previously played Guo Xiang in the new version of The Return of the Condor Heroes. Not long ago, I played Qingwen in the Red Mansion directed by teacher Li Shaohong, but the Red Mansion has not been broadcast yet. In addition, I have also acted in a few movies, but my performances in those movies were average and not particularly popular."

Yang Mi introduced herself to several directors in a very graceful manner.

For Yang Mi.

Li Guoli, the chief director in charge of this audition, already knew about it.

Nodding, Li Guoli said, "Yang Mi, you have gained a certain reputation in the circle. Have you read the script of our Chinese Paladin 3?"

"Looked."

"Here is a line, read it to me."

"Ok."

Yang Mi took over the lines.

Prepared in 5 minutes.

As soon as Li Guoli started, Yang Mi began to read.

how to say.

Maybe there was not enough time for preparation, or Yang Mi has not yet fully integrated into the role.

Yang Mi’s performance in this section was not very good.

The assistant director frowned.

Yang Mi was also a little embarrassed.

She could also feel that her performance just now was very ordinary.

Although I secretly cursed myself in my heart.

How come he failed at the critical moment?

But the more anxious he was, the worse Yang Mi's performance became.

A few minutes later, the assistant director was about to speak.

Li Guoli on the side said: "Yang Mi, you just read the lines very well, very emotionally, and very devotedly."

This made the assistant director confused.

What's going on?
Li Guoli glared at the assistant director and said in a low voice, "Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."

The assistant director shut his mouth obediently.

"Thank you, Director Li."

Yang Mi was also somewhat frightened by Li Guoli's comments.

Did you perform so well just now?
Have it?

After the audition.

Yang Mi called Chen Cheng again.

"Chen Cheng, did you find a connection for me?"

"Ah, what kind of relationship?"

"I went to the audition today, and the director asked me to read a line. I felt that I performed very poorly. However, the director said that I performed very well."

"Isn't this normal? You just feel it yourself, and your feelings are not always accurate. You have to trust the director's vision."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. I also encountered this situation when I was a director. Some actors didn't have much confidence. They performed very well, but they were not satisfied. What do you think should be done?"

"Ok."

Yang Mi nodded and quickly said, "I believed your lies. Now I understand that I am a relative."

"Cough cough..."

Chen Cheng was a little choked: "Silly girl, I thought I had fooled you."

"Admit it now."

"Why is it so hard to admit it? Everyone in the industry has connections. Can an amateur be picked by a production company? Even if they are picked, they have to sign with the company first."

"It seems right."

"That's it, I still have classes to go to."

"Hey...don't hang up so quickly."

"Is there anything else? If you want to say thank you, then forget it. What is our relationship?"

"Well, you've said all I had to say. But thank you anyway."

"Look, I said it again."

"Don't you even say thank you? Otherwise, I'll just be taken advantage of by you."

"I go……"

Chen Cheng didn't react for a moment, and after a while he said, "You're out of your mind. No one else mentioned the unspoken rules, but you still mentioned them."

"Oh my, Director Chen, you don't dare?"

"Who said that."

"Okay, I'll wait for you in Hengdian."

“I just left Hengdian.”

"What else is there?"

"Just act your role and don't think too much."

"coward."

Some people were so angry at Chen Cheng that Yang Mi hung up the phone.

……

"Director Chen, our movie 'Love Call Transfer' will probably be released ahead of schedule."

A few days later.

Chen Cheng received a call from the producer of Love Call Transfer, Sun Jianjun.

This Mr. Sun Jian.

He has a friend who likes to use unspoken rules.

"Oh……"

Chen Cheng was a little surprised: "Why is it released in advance?"

"It is said that 3G licenses will be issued this year. The situation at China Mobile is a bit dangerous. They are planning to launch a wave of publicity first."

“So that’s it.”

Chen Cheng understood.

08 is a very special year.

Many great things happened this year.

Such as the Olympic Games which will begin in August.

Another example is the issuance of 3G licenses this year.

According to the previous life.

When China Mobile issued 3G licenses, it only got the one with the worst technology.

On the contrary, China Unicom, which had previously performed mediocrely, obtained the WCDMA license with the best technology.

This is also the reason why China Mobile wants to develop customized dramas.

"Director Chen, what do you think?"

"I don't have any opinion. It's just that the release date is not particularly good now, and the box office may not be too good."

"It's OK. We don't have any idea about the box office performance in terms of mobile."

"In that case, I have no objection."

Although Chen Cheng is the director.

The director is generally responsible for the box office.

But the big sponsors had no objection to the box office, so how could Chen Cheng have any objection?

……

Friday.

There were a dozen or so students who stayed in school and knew that Chen Cheng's latest movie was about to be released, and they all clamored to go to the movies together.

Chen Cheng couldn't refuse, so he followed everyone into the cinema.

"Chen Cheng, it seems like you are the male lead in this movie?"

"Yes."

Chen Cheng nodded. "It was a low-budget production. We couldn't find a suitable lead actor at the time, and we didn't have much budget. So the producer said, why don't I do it? This way, we can save the cost of the male lead."

of course.

No savings either.

Chen Cheng still received a fee for playing the leading actor, but it was pitifully small.

"Isn't this film invested by China Mobile? China Mobile is so stingy, how much did it invest?"

"Six million to ten thousand."

"so little."

"Yes."

"So how much do you think this movie will make?"

"I don't know... 2000 million would be good."

It’s not that Chen Cheng doesn’t want to move up.

Although Chen Cheng became famous in one battle before.

The words "produced by Chen Cheng" and the reputation of Mr. 2 Million... have become a golden signboard.

But a golden signboard doesn't always work.

Even a golden signboard needs to be promoted.

Otherwise, who would know that you are a golden signboard?

The biggest factor that determines whether a movie is a box office success, besides its content, is its publicity costs.

The higher the publicity costs, the higher the box office.

The lower the publicity costs, the lower the box office.

Mobile doesn't have much in mind for the big screen, they just want to go offline.

They didn't invest much in publicity.

This also means that many people don’t know that there is such a movie.

But having said that.

But after the movie started, the whole cinema was filled with cheers.

"Chen Cheng, I didn't expect you to look so handsome with a shaved head."

"Hahaha, this is so funny. I've never seen such a good movie before."

"No, stop for a minute. My stomach hurts from laughing so hard."

No matter what the mobile side considers regarding "Love Call Transfer".

have to say.

The genre of "Love Call Transfer" is quite novel.

He contacted dozens of blind date candidates at once through a phone call from China Mobile.

then.

A series of wonderful and extremely joyful things happened.

Chen Cheng: "Let's get a divorce."

Female Character 1: "Then give me a reason."

Chen Cheng: "You've been wearing the same purple sweater for several years, and you make noises when you eat noodles every day."

Female Character 1: "That's the reason. How am I going to explain it to my parents, relatives and friends?"

Chen Cheng: "How about we not get divorced?"

Female Character 1: "If you don't want to leave me, you have to give me a reason..."

Yes.

Enter the cinema.

Almost all the actors never stopped laughing.

Even after walking out of the cinema, countless viewers were still there giggling.
