Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 236 Next Zhou Zhangguo, Boss Jia

Chapter 236 Returning to China Next Week, Boss Jia
"Chen Cheng, I'm afraid this trick won't work."

After leaving.

Pang Hong said to Chen Cheng: "It seems that they have signed a contract to advance and retreat together."

“What a solidarity.”

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Who cares? I really plan to change."

"Really?"

"Correct."

"This……"

Pang Hong said: "Changing the director is a big deal. If it is changed, it will have a huge impact on us."

"That's not necessarily the case."

Chen Cheng shook his head.

In the circle.

Changing directors, changing actors...things like that.

Sometimes he won't change unless it's absolutely necessary.

The actors were replaced.

The audience noticed it at a glance.

The director was changed.

Although it seems that the audience cannot notice it immediately, the impact is greater.

Because different directors have different styles.

If it is changed suddenly, he will no longer be able to inherit the original taste.

of course.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Cheng would not change.

But in this case, Chen Cheng really has to be replaced.

"Boss Pang, if we compromise, we will have more compromises in the future. Since they want to raise the price, then they can raise it. But I really don't want this director anymore."

"You've disrupted my plans all of a sudden. Changing the director is a big deal... Hey, how about you direct it?"

Pang Hong's eyes lit up.

If Chen Jiashang is gone, then he is gone. But if Chen Cheng is still here, then that’s fine.

Chen Cheng shook his head: "Boss Pang, forget it. I'm a little tired for the time being. But I can recommend someone."

"Who?"

"It's kept secret for now. But I think this director's talent is not inferior to Chen Jia's."

……

"Lao Liu, do you know any friends in the circle?"

"In the circle, you mean?"

"The directors, producers, and film companies."

"Lao Wu, you really want to make a movie."

a city.

Two good friends got together to drink.

One of them was called Wu Ershan.

He was once admitted to the Oil Painting Department of the Chinese Academy of Drama.

Later, he had different ideas from his teacher, so he repeated his studies and took the Beijing Film Academy directing exam again.

I graduated from Beijing Film Academy as a graduate student.

pity.

Even though he didn’t graduate from the directing department of Beijing Film Academy, he can be a director.

Ok.

Wu Ershan actually became a director.

But he was not a TV series director, nor a movie director, nor an animation director, but an advertising director.

Although the advertising director is also a director.

But if you talk to outsiders, just say: I’m shooting a commercial.

Of course there is nothing shameful about shooting commercials.

But compared to making movies, shooting commercials is much lower.

Wu Ershan always wanted to make a movie.

Even if the movie doesn't work.

TV series are fine too.

pity.

One didn't stand a chance.

Nowadays.

Under the influence of alcohol, Wu Ershan said that he wanted to make a movie.

His friend advised him, "Lao Wu, forget it. Don't think about movies anymore. Movies are not something that everyone can touch. Many people have lost money by making movies."

"I know, but I still want to shoot it. I won't be satisfied if I don't shoot one."

"Didn't you make a movie before, 'Soap Opera'? It won an award, but did it make any money?"

“You can’t just make a movie and make money.”

"So, making a movie is really not that simple. How about this, when you make money from making commercials, you can invest and direct it yourself..."

"If I want to invest myself, I really don't know how long I will have to wait."

Drunk, Wu Ershan returned home.

Although when I go home.

He vaguely felt as if he had received a call from a big director, asking him to make a movie.

But Wu Ershan ignored him.

In addition, I was drunk and fell asleep as soon as I got home.

Wait until you wake up the next day.

Wu Ershan remembered the phone call.

“Could this be a scam?”

"Chen Cheng?"

"Such a big director, would he look for me?"

Although it's a bit hard to believe.

But Wu Ershan still went back and made a phone call.

"Director Chen?"

"Brother, were you drunk last night?"

Seeing Wu Ershan’s call, Chen Cheng smiled.

It was he who called Wu Ershan yesterday.

The director Chen Cheng was looking for was Wu Ershan.

Simultaneously.

Wu Ershan is Chen Cheng’s senior, and he also graduated from the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy.

But at this time he was still shooting commercials.

"Brother? Are you really Director Chen?"

"Of course, otherwise why would you ask your senior brother to come to BJ?"

"This, you still don't believe it. Otherwise, I'll book a plane ticket for you first."

"I believe you."

It still feels incredible though.

But Wu Ershan still bought a ticket to BJ.

Chen Cheng was very polite.

He personally went to the airport to meet Wu Ershan.

When I saw Chen Cheng.

Wu Ershan was finally convinced.

"Director Chen, it's really you."

"You don't believe it until now?"

"Yes."

"Then come again?"

"I thought, even if I was cheated, it would only be the price of a plane ticket. What if it's true? I'll be rich."

"Hahaha."

Chen Cheng took Wu Ershan into the car.

And brought Wu Ershan back to Beijing Film Academy.

"I am currently studying for a master's degree in directing at Beijing Film Academy. I have an office here."

"Come on, go to my office first."

Wu Ershan was also very moved to return to Beijing Film Academy.

As soon as he entered the office, Wu Ershan said, "I have brought shame to my alma mater."

"What shame?"

"I also graduated from the Beijing Film Academy's directing department, but I'm only shooting commercials now."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Shooting commercials is the same as shooting movies. Who says that graduates from Beijing Film Academy have to shoot movies? I have quite a few classmates who left the industry after graduating from college. Is it shameful for those who leave the industry?"

Chen Cheng made tea for Wu Ershan.

He took out a piece of paper and a pen and asked, "Brother, did you study art before?"

"Yes."

Wu Ershan nodded: "Before that, I studied in the Oil Painting Department of the Central Academy of Drama for two years, and later transferred to our Beijing Film Academy."

"A top student."

Chen Cheng smiled.

The kind of person who can get into the Central Academy of Drama if he wants to, or get into the Beijing Film Academy if he wants to, is definitely a top student.

“What genres are you good at?”

"I've learned a little bit of both. If I have to say which one I prefer, I prefer the oriental classical style."

"Oh, I'm also interested in the oriental classical style. Have you seen my previous film Painted Skin?"

"I've seen it, it's very classic, especially the pictures inside, they are very beautiful."

Wu Ershan praised.

"Come on, draw a female character, Xiao Wei."

Chen Cheng handed over the paper and pen.

Wu Ershan also knew it.

Chen Cheng was testing him.

He knows better.

This incident today may determine his entire future life.

His hands were agitated.

Looking at Chen Cheng, Wu Ershan said, "Director Chen, I'm sorry, I can't calm down."

"It's okay, you draw first, I'll go out and do something."

Chen Cheng understood Wu Ershan.

When you are penniless and have nothing.

Suddenly, a noble person appears by your side who can change your destiny.

Everyone will be excited. …

An hour later.

Chen Cheng returned to the office again.

at this time.

Wu Ershan has finished his creation.

Looking at the painting of a classical woman wearing a mask on the rice paper, Chen Cheng was very shocked.

This mask is different from the one in Painted Skin 1.

This mask.

Or.

This is not a mask, but half a mask.

The half mask is not complete, but rather incomplete.

When such a half mask covers the face of the woman in the painting, an extremely mysterious atmosphere emerges.

She looked very beautiful.

But because of this half mask, she looked extremely weird.

This is another style of painted skin.

"very nice."

Chen Cheng kept nodding as he watched.

Sure enough it is.

That's what a talented director does.

Although he doesn't seem to be making many movies now.

But that kind of talent has already been revealed.

"Do you have any idea to make a movie?"

Putting down the classical woman created by Wu Ershan, Chen Cheng asked.

Wu Ershan suppressed his excitement but still said, "If I didn't want to make a movie, I wouldn't be here."

"Haha, sure. I recently took on a movie, Painted Skin 2. Are you interested?"

“Is Painted Skin going to have a sequel?”

"Correct."

"You want me to be an art assistant?"

Wu Ershan made a weak guess.

"If you're looking for art, I won't call you."

"Then me?"

"The director of Painted Skin 2."

"what……"

His hand shook, and the teacup in Wu Ershan's hand fell to the ground.

Chen Cheng smiled and helped Wu Ershan pick up the teacup: "Don't be nervous."

"Director Chen, stop joking."

"Why, you don't want to be one?"

"No, I, I...I've hardly made any movies before. You want me to be a director?"

"I looked up your information and it seems that you have filmed a movie called "Soap Opera"."

"That's all for self-entertainment, what a loss."

"Every filmmaker has lost money. Come on, I'll take you to meet the executive producer. Also, I'll assign you an assistant director. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask him."

Without further ado, Chen Cheng took Wu Ershan to meet Pang Hong.

Seeing that Chen Cheng brought a newcomer over, Pang Hong actually didn't want to agree.

but.

However, Chen Cheng said that if he had time, he would go on stage himself.

See this.

Only then did Pang Hong agree.

……

"Yes, two more satellite TV stations have been added."

After inviting Wu Ershan to be the director of Painted Skin 2, Chen Cheng looked at the previous TV drama trading platform.

At this time.

The trading parties of the new three countries have increased from the original three satellite TV stations to five.

They are Sujiang Satellite TV, Anhui Satellite TV, Shuangqing TV, Tianjin TV, and Oriental TV.

There are 5 in total.

In fact, they are not considering purchasing the last two, namely Tianjin TV and Oriental TV.

After the three TV stations purchased it, they have started broadcasting the New Three Kingdoms.

But they didn't expect it.

The effect of the New Three Kingdoms was so good after it was broadcast.

However, many netizens also said that due to time constraints, they did not watch some other episodes.

in this way.

Tianjin TV and Oriental TV chose to enter.

6000 million for copyright is not a lot.

Although not exclusive.

But with 100 episodes, the advertising and other revenues he generates can make up for it.

And the audience is also very familiar with the plot of the Three Kingdoms.

Sometimes, no matter which episode you play, everyone will watch it with great interest.

"Okay, I've recovered my costs."

Five companies purchased it.

Chen Cheng removed the TV series transaction information.

If the copyright of a company is worth 6000 million, it would be 3 million now.

The first round of premiere rights not only recovered the cost, but also made 5000 million.

Even if it stays for a while, if I'm lucky, I can make another 6000 million.

But think about it.

Chen Cheng still gave up.

We can't be so stingy. We have to leave some profits for those TV stations.

Besides, he still has the second round of copyright.

Even if the sales in the second round are not very good, it is still possible to get another 5000 million back.

Think about it this way.

Chen Cheng became more interested in TV dramas.

A TV series with such a large investment like "The New Three Kingdoms" can recover its costs and make money.

Not to mention others.

……

Everything went smoothly with Painted Skin 2.

After Chen Cheng confirmed Wuershan, Painted Skin 2 was officially launched.

the other side.

Li Ming, the person in charge of Xiaoma Benteng, who had previously cooperated with "The New Three Kingdoms", invited Chen Cheng to a dinner party.

At the dinner, Chen Cheng met an acquaintance.

Or.

It’s just that Chen Cheng is very familiar with him.

This acquaintance is called Jia Yueting, nicknamed Boss Jia.

This Boss Jia is the Boss Jia who will return to China next week.

However, Boss Jia is still very successful now. The LeTV, which they founded, is thriving in the video field.

Boss Jia used a very clever trick.

He first purchased the electronic copyrights of film and television dramas from major film and television companies at extremely low prices.

As for your question, why would major companies sell it to him at such a low price.

It's actually quite normal.

Because at that time, there was still a lot of piracy.

Even if the major film and television companies have various electronic copyrights, they won't make much money if everyone watches pirated copies.

At this time, a company came out to buy it.

Although the price of each film is very low, when the quantity is added up, it is still a considerable amount of money.

finally.

Major film and television companies agreed to cooperate with Boss Jia and sold the copyright.

After Boss Jia obtained a number of electronic copyrights.

He started to crack down on piracy as soon as possible.

result.

A number of pirated websites were forced to close down by Boss Jia, and in the end, LeTV was the only one that owned the most complete electronic copyrights.

However, LeTV does not want to be just a simple video playback platform.

He began to expand into the film and television industry.

to this end.

They established LeTV Pictures this year and signed contracts with many stars, actors, and directors.

Li Ming invited Chen Cheng to dinner in order to connect him with Boss Jia and sign Chen Cheng.

of course.

When they met for the first time, Boss Jia did not mention this matter.

Boss Jia spent more time talking about movies with Chen Cheng.

and.

Before meeting Chen Cheng, Boss Jia had obviously done a lot of homework.

basically.

Boss Jia has watched all the films shot by Chen Cheng, even those he produced.
