This director is vindictive.

Chapter 14 Congratulations to Mr. Chen for becoming an assistant director

Li Bin didn't say much, just said: "Let's talk about it after you finish filming the drama."

Chen Mo was immediately pleasantly surprised.

Sure enough, it is not easy for people to become teachers at Beijing Film Academy.

"Okay, I'll take this job. By the way, how far have you progressed in preparing for this drama?" Ning Hao asked again.

Now it was Chen Mo's turn to feel embarrassed.

"Well, apart from the funding and script, the director and assistant director, everything else has not been decided yet." Chen Mo said.

Then Ning Hao was dumbfounded.

He looked at Chen Mo and then at Li Bin, feeling like he had been cheated.

"No. So he's waiting for me here?" Ning Hao felt like crying but had no tears.

"Well, Brother Ning, aren't you going to make a movie too? Don't you have to prepare for it then? So, why not just prepare it first? When I'm done with it, you can just take it to shoot your drama. How great is that? You can also use this drama to practice first, right?" Chen Mo said with a sullen face.

"How can they be the same? I'm making a movie, and you're making an idol drama. They're two completely different things, okay?" Ning Hao said a little madly.

"There must be something useful, right?" Chen Mo continued shamelessly.

"Forget it, but let me make this clear first. I'll be your assistant director, and you have to invest at least five million in me after the filming is finished!" Ning Hao said with gritted teeth!

"Is five million enough?" Chen Mo was actually happy when he heard about the money, and asked as well.

"Of course it's not enough, but do you think I've been playing these years?" Ning Hao said unhappily.

"Okay, then it's settled?" Chen Mo stretched out his hand.

"Pa!" Ning Hao helplessly stretched out his hand and high-fived Chen Mo.

"It's settled! I'll go back and get people, hurry up!" Ning Hao said as he prepared to run away.

"Don't be anxious, Brother Ning, as for the actor part..." Chen Mo just took the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

"Fuck you, Chen Mo, Director Chen, you are the director and I am just an assistant director. It's not enough for me to help you set up a filming team, you also want me to do this and that. Be a human being." Ning Hao said madly.

What kind of person is this! If he wasn't eager to make the movie he'd been dreaming of as soon as possible, why the hell would he take such a crappy job?

In the end, Director Ning ran away. He was afraid that if he didn't run away, Chen Mo would almost throw the entire drama to him.

"Tsk tsk, Brother Ning is really impatient." After Ning Hao ran away without even eating, Chen Mo clicked his tongue twice.

Li Bin looked at him with an inexplicable sense of strangeness.

"When did you become so shameless?"

"Well, those who are capable should work harder. It's not like I won't pay you." Chen Mo didn't think it was a big deal at all.

"Okay, stop bothering him. If he really takes over, you'll be the one crying." Li Bin shook his head.

"Brother Ning doesn't like idol dramas, hehe." Chen Mo didn't care.

"That's true! But, have you chosen anyone for the actor?" Li Bin did not continue talking about Ning Hao, but asked.

"What's so difficult about that? The male protagonists for this drama are actually very easy to choose. Just pick four handsome guys with different styles. I don't have too many requirements on their acting skills. But the female lead is a bit difficult." Speaking of the selection of actors and the roles of F4, to be honest, Chen Mo was a little puzzled by the versions of the drama in his previous life.

There are so many handsome actors in the entertainment industry, why choose some unconventional ones?

However, to be honest, the heroine in this drama really needs to be chosen carefully.

After all, it is the role of Cinderella, so she has to have a grassroots flavor, but not be too rustic. She can't be the kind of beauty that catches your eye at first sight, but the kind that is pleasing to the eye. At the same time, when she transforms, she must give people a stunning feeling.

Of the two versions of "Boys Over Flowers," to be honest, the mainland version does have a better choice of female lead. Suddenly, Chen Mo thought of a candidate.

Speaking of which, the other party and the original owner had worked together before, but now the other party should not have become really famous.

Chen Mo took out his cell phone and started searching.

Then I called.

"Chen Mo?" A crisp voice came from the other side.

"Zhao Xiaodao? Are you busy?" Chen Mo asked.

"I'm not as busy as you. You're really awesome. But well done, hehe." Zhao Xiaodao's voice became very low at the end of the phone, probably because he was afraid of being heard.

"It's like this, I have a role here, I wonder if you are interested?" Chen Mo said directly.

In fact, he and Zhao Xiaodao have a pretty good relationship, although they have only worked together once.

"What role? Whose play?" Zhao Xiaodao asked with some joy.

"Heroine, whose role is it? My role!" Chen Mo said.

"Your play? What does it mean?" Zhao Xiaodao was a little confused.

"Literally, I invested, I wrote the script, and I directed! Isn't it my play?" Chen Mo said.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds: "Are you sure?"

"Sure, we have sufficient funds and a script, and it's a remake. Are you interested?" Chen Mo said again.

"Let's make an appointment to meet and talk." Zhao Xiaodao said.

The two agreed on a meeting time and place and then hung up the phone.

In the following period, the preparations for Chen Mo's first drama proceeded in an orderly manner. It must be said that although the great director in his previous life had not yet made a real fortune in this world, he had already demonstrated his organizational abilities.

Starting from scratch, in just less than a week, he organized the behind-the-scenes staff of the crew, including photography, lighting, script supervisors, makeup artists, etc.

The crew gradually began to take shape.

On the other hand, after learning that Chen Mo's play was a remake of the famous "Meteor Garden" and that the assistant director was Ning Hao, who had independently directed award-winning films, he immediately decided to play this role.

Of course, it also has a lot to do with the fact that this character is the heroine.

At this time, although Zhao Xiaodao had acted in many dramas, they were all supporting roles and he had not yet become really famous.

In fact, if it weren’t for the fact that the director of this play was the newcomer Chen Mo, this would definitely be a high-quality project.

As for the other actors, Chen Mo adhered to the principle of high quality and low price and found actors through his alma mater and teacher Li Bin.

Of course, the main plot of "Meteor Garden" actually takes place on campus, which complements the other aspects.

Just like that, after just over half a month of preparation, this idol drama, which was humorously named "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together" by Chen Mo and has only one letter difference from Yu Youde's movie, officially announced that its preliminary preparations have been completed, and everything is ready except for the east wind.

It has to be said that it is good to lean on a big tree for shade. Many of the supporting roles are veteran actors who were invited by Teacher Li Bin.

At the same time, with the help of Ning Hao, an experienced senior who graduated from the directing department, it can be said that Chen Mo really has it easy.

One thing that must be mentioned is the little rich lady. She was definitely the one who helped Chen Mo the most. Not only did she give him money, she also helped Chen Mo borrow several luxury cars for filming, as well as villas for filming, etc.

Just like that, before the first online defamation case even went to trial, the filming of "Let's Watch Meteor Shower Together" officially started.

In order to avoid being exposed in advance, there was no opening ceremony or press conference this time. It was just quietly started.
