Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 343 Goodbye Yingbao, Zhao Liying.

It was not only Beijing Film Academy that invited Chen Cheng these days.

Huang Jianxin from the Directors Association also called Chen Cheng.

It was said that some directors in the association wanted to invite Chen Cheng to dinner.

In fact, all the directors in the association had eaten together during the previous meetings.

But at that time the meal was held by the association and was considered a business matter.

What Huang Jianxin meant was that this dinner was private.

Chen Cheng also nodded.

We all hang out in the same circle.

Look down and see you when you look up.

In addition, Chen Cheng is also the vice president of the Directors Association, so he should be able to unite all the members.

The next day.

Chen Cheng gladly agreed.

"Director Chen, long time no see."

"President, it's been about half a year since we last met."

"President, please take a seat here."

This time Chen Cheng was invited alone.

So President Huang Jianxin did not come either.

Some people called Chen Cheng "Director Chen", while others just called him "President".

Chen Cheng didn't mind what people shouted and always greeted them with a smile.

"President, I heard that you took on another TV series?"

"Yes, "The Righteousness of People's Names", but I asked Director Zhang to shoot this drama, so I just put my name on it."

"With your name on it, it will be a golden signboard."

"That's not the case. I'm also worried about messing up the sign. When I have time, I have to go back to the crew to keep an eye on it."

They had some polite chat.

Everyone also toasted each other.

When everyone had almost finished drinking, one of the directors said, "President, actually there is no other reason why we called you here this time. As you know, I and a few others have new dramas recently. However, we are not very confident, and we don't know much about the industry. Therefore, we all want to ask you to be the chief producer of our films."

"This one……"

"Of course, you're called a producer, but you don't actually have to do anything."

A group of directors looked at Chen Cheng, fearing that he would refuse.

Chen Cheng naturally knew what everyone meant.

Over the years, people have always been looking for Chen Cheng to deal with this matter.

Even when Chen Cheng had not yet become a producer and was only a supervisor, many people wanted to ask Chen Cheng to be listed as a supervisor.

Chen Cheng agreed to some films and rejected others.

Until recent years.

Basically, Chen Cheng would never agree to such things.

Seeing everyone's expectant eyes, Chen Cheng also understood what everyone was thinking.

In the circle, it is not easy to become famous.

It is not easy to create a hit product.

Some works are obviously well-made and have good stories, but they just don’t become popular.

What can be done?
Sometimes, Chen Cheng would also feel regretful.

But no way.

For many movies to become a hit, the right time, right place and right people are all essential.

Everyone present was well aware of this, and that’s why they thought of Chen Cheng.

If I could borrow Chen Cheng's help, maybe I would have a chance.

After thinking for a while, Chen Cheng said, "Everyone, forget about the name-dropping thing. If there are too many names, people will feel it's too fake. I can't make so many films at once. Besides, I don't have that much energy."

"This……"

Listen to what Chen Cheng said.

All the directors who had been waiting for this moment sighed.

Chen Cheng still refused.

But they didn't blame Chen Cheng.

this kind of thing.

It would have been impossible to do more.

Don't even mention them together.

Even if they come one by one...it is not certain that Chen Cheng will agree.

Let’s talk about Chen Cheng’s current status.

It's a favor to be able to help you.

If the movie you made is not popular, you can't blame others.

But seeing everyone's discouraged look, Chen Cheng said, "Everyone, don't be discouraged. Although I am not listed as a credit, I still watched some of your films. Overall, I think they are very good. If I have time, I will visit each of your crews to take a look."

"President, really?"

"of course it's true."

"Then President, we are waiting for you on the set."

"OK."

Chen Cheng nodded.

But it seems that everyone is not particularly interested.

Chen Cheng knew.

People may think that they are just saying it casually.

If I have time to go there later...I don't know when I will be able to go.

……

just.

Chen Cheng is really not fooling us.

Chen Cheng always keeps his word.

the next day.

Chen Cheng went to the crew of "Dragon Gate Escort".

When the director of "Dragon Gate Escort" "Wang Junye" saw Chen Cheng appear in their crew, he wiped his eyes and was a little bit unbelieving.

It was not until Chen Cheng came closer that he hugged Chen Cheng.

"President, it's really you."

"Why, you don't believe me? I said I would come yesterday."

"I, I thought... you were talking about that."

"Hahaha."

Wang Junye felt a little embarrassed.

But seeing Chen Cheng so generously coming to their crew in person, he felt extremely excited.

But he understood.

It would be more practical for Chen Cheng to come to their crew in person than just giving them a name as a contributor.

After all, it's hard to say for sure what a name is.

Although many people come for Chen Cheng’s reputation.

But after all, it is not Chen Cheng's work, nor is it a work produced by Chen Cheng, and it is certainly not a work that Chen Cheng is responsible for.

Now the spectators are also very smart.

Chen Cheng is listed as a figurehead and is responsible for the production... He is very clear about this kind of thing.

But Chen Cheng came in person.

With Chen Cheng's professional vision, even a few casual words from the crew would be of great benefit to them.

"Come on, President, let me introduce you to the screenwriter of our play, Ning Caishen."

talking.

Wang Junye brought Chen Cheng into the crew.

And called all the crew members over.

The first person introduced to Chen Cheng was Ning Caishen.

Chen Cheng shook hands with Ning Caishen cordially and said, "Mr. Ning Caishen, I am your fan. Your "Wulin Wai Zhuan" is really well written."

Yes.

Ning Caishen is the screenwriter of "Wulin Waijia".

This drama was really popular all over the country back then.

Even now.

The drama "Wulin Wai Zhuan" has a high on-demand rate on major websites.

From time to time, netizens click on this drama and watch dozens of episodes in a row.

At the same time, this was not the first time Chen Cheng and Ning Caishen met.

Chen Cheng met Ning Caishen when he was filming "The Laughing Man" directed by Chen Xiaodong.

Yes.

The screenwriter of the movie "Big Laugh" is also Ning Caishen.

"Director Chen, I am your fan. You may not know that I have watched each of your movies three times in the cinema, and the most I have watched is seven times."

Ning Caishen was also extremely excited when he saw Chen Cheng.

Then director Wang Junye introduced other actors to Chen Cheng.

Such as the biggest star here, Yuan Yongyi.

She plays the leading female role in the drama.

She is also a famous Hong Kong film queen who has starred in a series of movies.

His representative work is the domestically produced 007 with Stephen Chow.

She plays the female lead in the drama. A well-known actress like her should be very popular in Hong Kong.

but.

With the decline of Hong Kong films.

Even actresses like Anita Yuen have gone to the mainland to act in TV dramas.

Sometimes I can't help but sigh at how fast the world is changing.

However, Chen Cheng strongly supports Hong Kong actors coming to the mainland to shoot films.

Anyone with vision knows it.

The mainland is the trend of the future.

Those who still think that Hong Kong is supreme and that Hong Kong is the most representative... are the most stubborn.

"Sister Yuan, I like your performance as 007."

Chen Cheng took the initiative to greet Yuan Yongyi.

Yuan Yongyi also said: "In this case, Director Chen must remember me if there is any role."

"That's necessary."

Chen Cheng said.

……

Next up is male No. 1 Guo Jinfei.

Guo Jinfei is an actor that Chen Cheng likes very much.

Although he is not particularly famous now.

But Guo Jinfei is more hardworking, and later he starred in "Langya Bang: The Wind Rises in Changlin", "The Darker Side", "All Is Well", "I Am Yu Huanshui", "Young Couple" and so on.

Although he is not a big star, he is doing well in the circle.

"President, what do you think of our film Dragon Gate Escort Agency?"

After the crew, actors and behind-the-scenes production staff had a working lunch, director Wang Junye couldn't help but ask Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng said, "Director Wang, with Teacher Ning Caishen as the screenwriter, I think the work will be fine. I can't guarantee that it will be a big hit, but it will definitely not flop. Of course, I actually think that if you are good at comedy, after filming Dragon Gate Escort, you can switch to the film industry in the future."

"Movie, President...I don't dare."

"Why, are you afraid of losing money?"

"Ah."

Wang Junye nodded: "TV series are safer, but movies are really not. Many of my classmates have suffered horrible losses."

"Haha, that's how movies are, there are gains and losses. But I can tell you something. Domestic audiences have a big love for comedy movies, and they are also more tolerant of these dramas. Give it a try when you have the chance... If you are really ready, I will support you then."

"President, you won't lie to me, will you?"

"Look, I even came to your crew, why would I lie to you?"

"President, I listen to you."

Extremely excited, Wang Junye made up his mind.

……

The second crew Chen Cheng joined was called "Mind Game".

This was a hit in the previous life.

However, for Yang Yang, the current director of "Mind Game", she obviously doesn't know whether this work can become a hit.

When Chen Cheng appeared on the set of "Mind Game".

Although Yang Yang had already received news about Wang Junye in the group, he was still very excited when he saw Chen Cheng coming.

"Director Chen, welcome to our "Mind Game" crew."

The director of "Mind Game", Yang Yang, is also considered a famous director of domestic TV dramas.

Not just a famous director.

Yang Yang is also a beautiful director.

But that's all for the future.

Although Yang Yang is now a beautiful director, the films she directed before were criticized by many people.

Especially the TV series "New Bright Sword" she starred in last year. As soon as the film was released, I don't know how many people scolded it.

This made Yang Yang a little depressed. He finally got a role in a new drama "Mind Game", but he was still unsure.

However, Chen Cheng expressed confidence to Yang Yang that this drama might become a hit.

This sentence shocked Yang Yang.

She knew Chen Cheng's vision, which was truly incomparable to that of ordinary people.

If Chen Cheng says he can become popular, then he can become popular.

Even Yang Yang is a little confused about how popular "Mind Game" will be.
However, when Chen Cheng came to the crew of "Mind Game", he was not just talking about the TV series "Mind Game".

Behind.

Chen Cheng also chatted a lot with Yang Yang.

and.

Chen Cheng also recommended a lot of online articles to Yang Yang.

Yes.

In his previous life, Yang Yang filmed many representative online literary works.

For example, the first and second parts of "Ever Night" were written by her.

There is also "A Mortal's Journey to Immortality", which is also directed by Yang Yang.

……

For several days.

Chen Cheng visited six film crews in a row.

The last crew Chen Cheng went to was the crew of "The Legend of Lu Zhen".

I heard that Chen Cheng is coming.

The chief producer of "Legend of Lu Zhen", Perfect World Company, sent its vice president to personally welcome Chen Cheng.

Yes.

As a well-known domestic game company, Perfect World has also begun to dabble in film and television dramas.

However, before that, most of the works they produced performed mediocrely.

Only one drama, "The Empress of China", is pretty good.

This also puts a lot of pressure on Perfect World's film and television department.

As soon as he saw Chen Cheng, Vice President Lu Xiaoyin took Chen Cheng's hand and said that he must treat Chen Cheng well today.

Chen Cheng was quite polite. He chatted with Lu Xiaoyin about the future direction of domestic film and television dramas, and he agreed with Perfect World's entry into the film and television industry.

At the same time, Chen Cheng also believed.

Games and movies are connected.

and.

Chen Cheng also gave Lu Xiaoyin a very good suggestion, that no matter what the cost, he must sign Zhao Liying, the leading female role in "Legend of Lu Zhen".

For Chen Cheng.

As long as Perfect Film and Television can sign Zhao Liying, then Perfect Film and Television will be almost half successful.

This also made Lu Xiaoyin call Zhao Liying over immediately.

When she saw Chen Cheng coming to their crew, Zhao Liying excitedly called out, "Teacher Chen Cheng."

"Teacher Chen Cheng."

"Teacher Chen Cheng, do you still remember me?"

Zhao Liying called Chen Cheng three times in a row.

It was obvious how excited Zhao Liying was to meet Chen Cheng.

Chen Cheng looked at Zhao Liying with a smile and said, "Of course, how could I not remember you, Yingbao."

That's right.

Zhao Liying participated in the advanced actor training class organized by Chen Cheng in Hengdian.

It was also because Zhao Liying participated in this training class.

This is the end.

Zhao Liying began to gain a foothold in the industry and got good roles step by step.

Until now, she has even won the leading female role in "The Legend of Lu Zhen".

It was also because I went to Chen Cheng’s training class.

Regarding Chen Cheng.

In Zhao Liying's eyes, that is a god-like existence.

……

night.

Lu Xiaoyin invited Chen Cheng to dinner.

Female No. 1 Zhao Liying and male No. 1 Chen Xiao were also invited.

seat.

Chen Cheng said: "In the future, TV dramas will be more and more female-oriented."

This is caused by the market.

This is also the situation caused by the rise of the Internet.

In the future, the largest audience group for domestic TV dramas will inevitably be women.

Men, on the other hand, go online to watch movies.

Since you are a woman.

Then.

In the future, there will be a series of TV dramas with strong female protagonists in the TV drama market.

Zhao Liying is one of the representative actresses who plays the leading female role.

This is also why Chen Cheng said that.

As long as Zhao Liying is signed, Perfect Film and Television will be halfway to success.

Or.

As long as Zhao Liying is signed, Perfect World will be able to become one of the big names in the TV drama industry, just like his status in the gaming industry.
