Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 237 "Palace Lock Heart Jade", Yang Mi's era of being the heroine begins.

"Director Chen, are you familiar with Director Wu Yusen?"

Although it was the first time we met.

But Boss Jia is a person with very high emotional intelligence.

and.

He was extremely excited when he saw that Chen Cheng seemed to fully understand his ideas.

He often talked with Chen Cheng about dreams and the future.

When the atmosphere was halfway through, Boss Jia suddenly mentioned Wu Yusen.

Chen Cheng said: "I have worked with Wu Yusen before."

"It seems to be Chibi?"

“Yes, I was the producer at that time.”

"Yes, the 6 million RMB investment in Red Cliff actually recovered its cost. Moreover, it sold well abroad, which is a miracle. I would like to work with Wu Yusen, Director Chen, what do you think?"

"I think so."

This kind of question is actually not easy to answer.

They are all people in the circle.

but.

He doesn't have a good relationship with Wu Yusen.

When he was the producer of Red Cliff, he also had conflicts with Wu Yusen.

Also.

The recent collective price increase among Hong Kong directors has made Chen Cheng somewhat disgusted.

of course.

And one more thing.

The Battle of Red Cliff was a great success, but Wu Yusen completely ignored me.

Although Chen Cheng is open-minded.

But Chen Cheng was not very fond of Wu Yusen.

but.

Talking bad about people behind their backs is not Chen Cheng's style.

Chen Cheng suddenly thought of the collective price increase of Hong Kong directors this time.

For a moment, Chen Cheng laughed: "Director Wu is a talented director, and also a very generous director. His vision is not comparable to that of ordinary directors. It is great to be able to work with Director Wu. Mr. Jia, I can only tell you that you have vision."

"I'm a little confused. Director Wu proposed a salary of 3000 million. Is that a bit high?"

"Mr. Jia, how much did you invest in this film?"

"It's about 4 million, divided into two parts."

"I haven't read the script. If it's around 4 million, the pay is not bad."

To destroy a person, you must first make him crazy.

Chen Cheng really didn't expect that so many Hong Kong directors would raise their prices.

Don’t they know?
Is there actually no market in Hong Kong anymore?
The real market is in the mainland.

The best they can do is make some films by relying on their past status.

I really thought there were no directors in the mainland.

There are a lot of directors in the mainland.

Just like a crow, but good.

It's just that they are not famous yet and have not been discovered yet.

Once these directors grow up, there will be no room for these Hong Kong directors to survive.

and so.

Chen Cheng never said anything bad.

Not only did he not say anything bad about them, Chen Cheng also madly praised these Hong Kong directors.

He really wanted to take a look.

The day when the Hong Kong director bubble burst.

……

I had a pretty pleasant chat with Boss Jia.

Although after listening to Boss Jia's words, Chen Cheng vaguely knew that Boss Jia wanted to sign him.

But since it was our first meeting, I didn't mention it.

For this.

Chen Cheng just smiled.

If it were some other actors, they might have been fooled by Boss Jia.

In fact.

In the past, many celebrities, actors, and even Olympic athletes have signed with LeTV.

finally.

Later, with the collapse of LeTV, these stars and actors... repeatedly revealed that LeTV owed them film remuneration.

Have experience from past lives.

Chen Cheng was just bragging to Boss Jia.

Blow to the back.

Boss Jia was a little shocked and felt that Chen Cheng seemed to be even better at talking nonsense than himself.

He even talked to himself about electric cars.

Depend on.

Isn’t this the ultimate product that I have always wanted to make?
……

The next day.

Chen Cheng received a call from Han Sanping.

Han Sanping rarely invited Chen Cheng to his home for a drink.

Although Chen Cheng was a little surprised.

But I still bought a gift and went there.

"Brother Cheng."

Just arrived at Han Sanping's residence.

When he heard the call of Brother Cheng, Chen Cheng turned around and saw that it was his classmate Han Jianu.

This person is also a classmate of Director Chen Cheng in his master's degree.

When Chen Cheng saw Han Jianu looking at him with a smile, he was stunned: "You're not going to tell me that Director Han is your father."

"Haha, you just know it now."

"I'll go, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"My father won't let me tell you."

"Ok."

Chen Cheng nodded.

Given Han Sanping's status in the film industry, it is indeed difficult to reveal the relationship between Han Jianuo and Han Sanping.

"Come in, Cheng-ge, my father has been waiting for you."

With Chen Cheng, the two entered the living room.

Han Sanping obviously knew that Chen Cheng was coming.

Seeing Han Jianu's happy look, he scolded her: "What brother Cheng? Call him Uncle Cheng."

"Uncle Cheng?"

Chen Cheng was also stunned: "Director Han, Jiajia and I are classmates, I can't be your uncle."

"Dad, look, you've made Brother Cheng look old."

"What does it mean to be old? You need to know the rules. Look at you, you are about the same age as Director Chen, but all you do is play."

"Where can I go to have fun? I want to make a movie, too. But, Dad, you won't invest in me."

"Investment, you wish for it. Ask Director Chen what he did before he got his first investment."

"Dad, why do you always preach? I'm leaving now, you guys chat."

Unable to bear Han Sanping's nagging, Han Jianu left angrily.

Han Sanping was a little embarrassed: "I am ashamed to have given birth to such a loser girl."

Chen Cheng said, "Director Han, you are too strict."

"How can we not be strict? If we really let her do whatever she wants, she will really ruin our family."

"With Director Han here, I believe that won't happen."

"Let's not talk about her. Chen Cheng, have a few drinks with me today."

"Alright. Director Han, I'll toast you a glass."

talking.

Chen Cheng picked up the wine glass and drank it first as a show of respect.

Han Sanping was also very happy: "I just like you, kid."

Han Sanping also drank it all in one gulp.

Second cup.

Han Sanping took the initiative to pour wine for Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng held down the cup and said, "Let me do it."

But Han Sanping pushed Chen Cheng's right hand away: "Let's not worry about so much, I'll go first. This cup, I toast to you."

Chen Cheng had no choice but to follow Han Sanping and drink another glass.

"You can't drink on an empty stomach. Come, eat some food, eat some food."

Chen Cheng looked at Han Sanping and said, "Director Han, what happy event happened today?"

"how do you know?"

"You look so happy today. If I didn't know, I would be very tactless."

Chen Cheng picked up some food and said.

of course.

The most important thing is that Han Sanping took the initiative to invite Chen Cheng to his home.

Generally, such social gatherings are not held at home.

"Hahaha, okay, okay, I'll tell you."

Han Sanping laughed: "Didn't the outside world say that I was going to step down?"

"Yeah, what's going on now?"

"Now, the guy who wanted to take my position has been transferred by the higher-ups." "Good, that's good news."

Chen Cheng was also happy for Han Sanping: "It seems that the leaders above also have a good eye and dare not act recklessly."

"Of course. Don't you see how much our movie Founding of a Republic has done at the box office?"

"Come to think of it, Chen Cheng, I have to thank you."

Han Sanping raised his glass again.

Chen Cheng replied, "Director Han, you are being polite. If you hadn't been taking care of me, I wouldn't have had so many resources."

This is a fact.

Although Chen Cheng signed the contract with Hengdian in the name of his studio.

But among them, the one with the best resources is China Film.

If it weren’t for China Film.

Where does Chen Cheng have so many top crews to join?

If it weren’t for China Film.

Chen Cheng is probably still working as an assistant director in some small drama crew.

Although these small crews are also crews.

But these are some small crews.

Even if you stay there for 10 or 20 years, you may not be able to join those top crews.

There doesn't seem to be any obvious distance here.

But true.

The distance between ordinary crews and top crews.

That is a natural chasm.

"No, we are helping each other. If you don't have this talent and strength, who would dare to give you resources? However, one thing is right."

"What's right?"

"That's it. This proves that I have good vision."

"Hahaha."

Chen Cheng laughed: "Yes, yes, Director Han, you have a good eye. That's why you discovered a genius like me."

"I didn't expect you to be so cocky. But sometimes being too low-key isn't a good thing. You're in great shape today. Come on, let's have another drink."

This night.

Han Sanping was drunk.

Fortunately, Han Jianu left angrily.

But she never actually left.

Just hanging out near home.

When the time was almost up, I rushed back.

"Brother Cheng, I'm sorry, my father rarely drinks so much."

"It's okay. Jiajia, from today on, I have to look at you with respect."

"No, don't do that. If my dad knew I told others about this, he would scold me again."

"Director Han is very strict with you?"

"Alas, I was beaten a lot when I was a kid. I just don't strive for excellence and have no skills. Now I can't even make a decent movie."

"When it comes to movies, take your time. There are many opportunities in this market. As long as you grab one of them, you're in the business."

Chatted with Han Jianu for a while in the courtyard.

Seeing that it was getting late, Chen Cheng said goodbye to Han Jianu.

……

"Mi Mi, you seem to be very busy recently."

"No way. Last time, the Four Little Flowers wanted to treat you to a meal after the show, but why did you leave first?"

"I saw so many people surrounding you, and I thought you must be very busy, so I won't disturb you."

Painted Skin 2 was quickly launched after Chen Cheng decided to change the director.

However, there are no auditions yet and the actors are still being finalized.

Although the main characters of Painted Skin 2 are the same as those of Painted Skin 1.

But the plot is different after all.

So Painted Skin 2 has some different characters.

Such as the character of Que'er.

Que'er is a very cute little sparrow, and also a very smart little monster.

Chen Cheng felt that Yang Mi, who had been filming TV dramas for many years, was more suitable for this role.

So he took the initiative to call Yang Mi.

Just a phone call.

But I found out that Yang Mi was preparing to audition for a play.

Chen Cheng asked, "Which drama?"

"palace."

"Oh."

"I auditioned for the No. 1 female role, Luo Qingchuan. However, I heard that this No. 1 female role has been internally selected."

"You're still going even though you've been selected?"

"Take a chance."

"now what?"

"The producer on the other side didn't say anything and told me to wait for a call."

"Then come to my place. I have a movie here. You don't need to audition."

"Really?"

"of course it's true."

"Director Chen, you are finally willing to let me shoot your film."

Yang Mi seemed very excited.

To know.

In the past few years, Yang Mi has seen Chen Cheng take care of his classmates.

Like Zhang Wei, Zhu Xiaohua, and Yuan Shanshan.

It was her instead.

Chen Cheng really found relatively few.

But deep down, Yang Mi didn't know how much she wanted to make a film about Chen Cheng.

But Yang Mi didn't want to add to Chen Cheng's troubles.

of course.

Yang Mi still has some inferiority complex.

Facing Chen Cheng, the gap between the two was so huge that the further they went, the more embarrassed Yang Mi felt.

"Haha, I've been thinking about it."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "I didn't contact you before because I wanted you to film more TV series and practice your acting skills."

"You should have told me earlier. You know, I thought you were ignoring me."

"how come."

Chen Cheng said, "When is the time?"

"at any time."

"So sure?"

"of course."

Chen Cheng smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you after the crew is formed. By the way, what's the name of the TV series you just auditioned for?"

"It seems to be Gong, and the full name is Gong Suo Xin Yu."

“This one.”

Touched his chin.

Chen Cheng said, "I will help you find a solution for the female lead in the drama Palace Lock Heart Jade."

But Yang Mi said, "Chen Cheng, forget it. They have already made the decision, so it doesn't matter whether I want the role or not. Besides, you have already arranged a role for me."

"The role I arranged for you is a supporting actress, and you won't have many scenes. Besides, I think the TV series Gong is pretty good."

of course.

It’s not that Chen Cheng really thinks this drama is good.

Chen Cheng was not very interested in this drama.

but.

This drama, however, is the pioneering work that truly made Yang Mi the heroine of ancient costume dramas.

……

"Old Wu, do you know anyone from Mango TV?"

"what happened?"

"I have a classmate who auditioned for the female lead in a drama on Mango TV, but I heard that the female lead had been internally chosen."

"What's the play called?"

"Palace locks the heart jade."

“This drama is simple.”

Wu Jingyuan made a phone call with a smile.

Just 5 minutes.

Wu Jingyuan said, "Done."

"Oh my god, Old Wu, are you so powerful?"

Chen Cheng was also confused.

When did Wu Jingyuan become so powerful?

Wu Jingyuan said, "It's not that I have any magical powers, I just recently gained a little brother."

"Little brother?"

"Well, it's a coincidence that this guy is the producer of 'Palace'. He was originally going to give the role of the female lead to his mistress. But since I stepped in, he naturally gave up the position of the female lead."

"Awesome...Old Wu, you have mastered the game of circles thoroughly."

Chen Cheng gave a thumbs up.
