Entertainment 2000: Supporting female stars will bring you a hundredfold return

Chapter 24 "Employment" is completed, and the crew of "Eighteen" is preparing (please read and collect)
In the taxi, Tang Wen took out his cell phone, looked at the calendar, and wrote down the date.

The house near the Central Academy of Drama has already been bought.

One of the units is fully furnished and can be moved in after some soft furnishing.

Originally, if everything went well today.

If someone else does it, the key will be left to Tang Wei.

At the Central Academy of Drama, we can start living together.

In the end, it was of no use.

Then this surprise will have to wait until next time.

Early the next morning.

Tang Wen flew from the capital to Hangzhou with the MV crew and the heroine Dong Xuan.

Gangnam MV, no plot.

Tang Wen didn't even plan to leave the country.

Only Dong Xuan, dressed in ancient costume and holding an oil-paper umbrella, strolled through the streets and alleys of the ancient town in the south of the Yangtze River in the mist and rain, and finally boarded the boat and left.

Then, she would wear modern clothes and walk the same route again.

Create a feeling of past life and present life.

The ancient town is now a tourist attraction and can only be photographed in the morning.

Fortunately, there were no complicated shots and the MV was completed in one day. Dong Xuan never got to satisfy his acting addiction.

The time agreed with Shangying is approaching.

Tang Wen sent Dong Xuan and the staff back to the imperial capital, and then he boarded the train to the Magic City.

The next day, we went to the Mei factory.

"Mr. Tang Wen, please come this way. The final film has been completed and is strictly based on your storyboard."

In the screening room, the head of the art department personally accompanied Tang Wen to watch the finished film of "Employed Life".

The short film is exactly seven minutes long.

Tang Wen looked at the pictures and compared them with the memories in his mind one by one.

Finally, he couldn't help but nodded: "No problem, let's go to the American factory. It is worthy of being a well-established factory that has won many awards since the 1950s and 1960s!"

Shanghai Animation Film Studio, "Havoc in Heaven" in 1961.

The Associated Press rated it as surpassing Disney animation.

When the neighboring island country saw it, they praised it highly.

But now, we can only say that the foundation is still there.

Tang Wen took away a copy of the film and headed straight to the Shanghai Film Group headquarters.

Unexpectedly, when we arrived, he hadn't even gotten out of the taxi.

I saw a lot of people gathered at the door, as if the Shanghai Film Group was holding some event.

Tang Wen called Secretary Zhou, who came out and let him in through the side door.

Walk into General Ren’s office.

Tang Wen took out a gift and said, "Mr. Ren, the publisher sent you a sample copy of my novel. I also brought you two of my records."

Mr. Ren does not accept ordinary gifts, but books and music are exceptions, which are elegant items.

He immediately opened "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and read the first page:
"It's a good start. The subject matter is also innovative. I heard from Xiao Zhou that it was serialized online. Young people are really smart after all."

Say a few words.

Both sides got down to business.

Today, I am mainly here to talk about the preparations for "The Sky of Eighteen Years Old".

Although Shanghai Film Group is not doing well recently, a two million investment is still a drop in the bucket for them.

Funding is not a problem, the rest is easy to discuss
Tang Wen first spoke out his request: "To be honest, I have some selfish motives in choosing the second female lead Lan Feilin."

President Ren and Secretary Zhou smiled at each other: "Could it be your confidante?"

“Leader’s Eye.”

"Is it from your Beijing Film Academy?"

"She's from the Central Academy of Drama. In terms of looks, she's also the campus beauty." After saying that, he took out a photo of Tang Wei from the bag he was carrying.

"Yes, sure. Since you are a student of the Central Academy of Drama, no problem."

Tang Wen quickly thanked him.

Mr. Ren joked, "Are there any other students you want to arrange?"

He waved his hands repeatedly, Dong Xuan must not join the group.

As for Zu Feng's minor supporting role, he can just discuss it with the director later and there is no need to tell Mr. Ren.

When talking about the director selection, Ren said: "It is hard to find a good director. I have only found two with schedules. One is Li Guoli, who is from Hong Kong."

This is the mainstay of Tangren Films.

It is not clear what Tang Wen has filmed now, but in a few years, after "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Book and the Sword", he will become famous.

"There is another one, named Kong Sheng, who won the Feitian Award."

Tang Wen was secretly happy, he also knew about Director Kong Sheng.

He later starred in a series of excellent TV series including "Crossing the Guandong" and "Nirvana in Fire".

"I have no objection, leader, you decide."

Both directors have real talents and skills.

No matter which one you learn from, you won’t lose out.

After that, he took out a copy of the short film and said, "Boss, the short film is ready. I would like you to take a look at it and see if it is qualified to be sent to Berlin."

Mr. Ren was also impressed by "Employment Life" and immediately arranged for Secretary Zhou to prepare the internal screening room.

Unexpectedly, after Secretary Zhou came back, he reported:

"Boss, Tangren President Cai Yinong and Director Li Guoli are here."

Mr. Ren paused for a moment and said, "Let's put work aside for now and watch Xiao Tang's "Employed Life" first."

The group walked out of the office door.

Tang Wen saw a relatively young and fashionable woman and a middle-aged man with long hair waiting in the corridor.

Secretary Zhou introduced the two parties.

Tang Wen was fine, as he already had some understanding of the two of them.

Cai Yinong and Li Guoli had no idea of ​​Tang Wen's background, so they were very polite and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

No one asked why I suddenly went to the screening room.

Inside the small screening room.

"Employment Life" is broadcast.

After just half a minute, no one present had any other thoughts.

They stared at the screen without blinking.

Seven minutes passed quickly and the short film ended.

Cai Yinong exclaimed: "Mr. Ren, this short film is amazing! It is creative and profound. I think it can win a big prize!"

Li Guoli also echoed.

Mr. Ren turned around and smiled: "Xiao Tang, it seems that you have to send this film to Berlin. The young are really formidable."

The two of them were stunned.

What does it mean? Such an excellent short film was shot by this young man?
How old is he? Hasn’t he graduated yet?
Mr. Ren didn't explain to them and watched the video again.

He promised on the spot to help send Tang Wen to the exhibition in Berlin.

All the procedures in between will be handled by Shanghai Film Studio.

After the three parties sat down, they began to discuss the cooperation on "The Sky of Eighteen Years Old".

Cai Yinong and Li Guoli were even more surprised. Is the screenwriter and investor so young?
But considering that Tang Wen wrote "Employed Life", it is not unacceptable.

The director was decided to be Li Guoli.

After all, they came to visit him, so Mr. Ren should give them some face.

The crew is controlled by Li Guoli, and Tang Wen is the deputy director, screenwriter and producer.

Mr. Ren is the producer and executive producer.

Cai Yinong also gained something extra from this trip.

I don’t know what kind of deal Tangren and Shanghai Film reached, but the leading female role was given to Tangren actress Sun Li, who later became Huang Sanshi’s wife.

Calculating the time, the two of them are already talking.

It's just that we're still a few years away from getting married.

The investment contract has been signed.

As long as we decide on the male actor, we can start filming.

Tang Wen can also make suggestions for the male lead and the male second role.

"How about Huang Xiaoming or Chen Kun?" He took advantage of his young age and took the initiative to propose.

Cai Yinong looked at him in surprise.

Li Guoli had already read the script and said, "They are all suitable, but I am afraid they may not be willing to come."

After all, this is just a youth campus drama with a small investment.

"These two are my senior brothers. Let me ask them."

As a result, the two of them replied in the evening and their schedules were full.

It’s not that they don’t want to come, it’s that Tang Wen and Shanghai Film Group were in too much of a hurry to start filming.

Tang Wen was eager to support Tang Wei and upgrade the system at the same time.

Shanghai Film Group has been short of funds in recent years, and hopes to see a return on the money invested as soon as possible.

Tangren has connections in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but again, the famous actors don’t have schedules.

Shanghai Film Group was in a hurry and after many twists and turns, they finally found Bao Jianfeng under Huayi Brothers.

As for the second male lead, Nie Yuan, who graduated from the Shanghai Theatre Academy, was chosen after an audition in Shanghai.

Li Guoli was unsure because all the cast members in this drama were newbies!

However, Tang Wen and Shanghai Film Studio had no objection.

It was hard for him to say anything.

In fact, Tang Wen was very confident.

Bao Jianfeng is very suitable for this role, as he became famous because of this drama.

Nie Yuan just finished filming "Marrying the Wrong Man", which will be broadcast in early 01 and will increase the popularity of "The Sky of Eighteen Years Old".

Sun Li is better than the original female lead.

Tang Wei is no worse than Sands.

This drama is solid.

Shanghai Film Group accelerated coordination and preparations and will start filming in half a month.

Tang Wen did not return to the capital, but followed Li Guoli around and started learning from the preparations for the crew.
