I'm the man behind the big stars

Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Director Chen Chuan
Chen Chuan wanted to talk to him personally, and Lu Chen was very happy. After all, Chen Chuan is a well-known director in the entertainment industry. If he directs this movie, it will save a lot of effort in promoting the movie. Of course, Lu Chen would be even happier if the salary could be much lower.

Lu Chen and Chen Chuan came to a coffee shop, and then they ordered a cup of coffee each.

"I can't tell, you are more ambitious than I imagined." Chen Chuan said to Lu Chen with a smile.

Three months ago, Chen Chuan thought that Lu Chen was just a new screenwriter who could only write scripts, but he didn't expect that now Lu Chen had already started a company and planned to invest in making movies by himself. Yin is also in his company.

Lu Chen also smiled, and said humbly, "It's not about ambition, it's just a living."

Chen Chuan said: "You don't look like you're just making a living, okay, show me the script."

"okay."

Lu Chen immediately passed the script in his hand to Chen Chuan. After Chen Chuan took the script, he read it seriously.

Soon, Chen Chuan's calm expression was broken, and he became extremely excited, even unable to suppress it.

What kind of fairy script is this, it's written so well!
Is this Lu Chen really not a professional screenwriter?
Chen Chuan looked at Lu Chen suspiciously, and said, "Are you really an amateur screenwriter?"

Lu Chen replied, "It's an amateur."

"Your script is better than professional screenwriters. If you tell me that you are an amateur, I don't believe it."

"Honestly speaking, I have been in the entertainment industry for decades, and I can basically know the level of a screenwriter after I glance at a script."

"When I saw the script of the unruly princess before you, I suspected that you were the apprentice of a well-known screenwriter, but you said you were an amateur, so I didn't ask, but seeing your script, I am more convinced of your script. The teacher must be a very good screenwriter."

Lu Chen said a little speechlessly: "Uh... Director Chen, I'm really an amateur."

Chen Chuan shook his head and said, "Young man, it's not okay to be too modest. Being too modest is another kind of pride, which will make others think you're pretending."

Hearing Chen Chuan's words, Lu Chen really didn't know what to say. He is an amateur, but he just knows how to copy. In fact, he is not the original author of these scripts.

To put it in an appropriate sentence: he does not create scripts, he is just a carrier of entertainment content on the earth.

At this time, Chen Chuan looked away from the script, then put the script on the table, and asked, "I'll accept this script, but how much is my salary?"

Lu Chen thought for a while and said, "How about 50?"

"Five... 50... It's a bit..." Chen Chuan hesitated to speak.

Hearing the salary quoted by Lu Chen, Chen Chuan was dumbfounded. Since he became famous, he has never heard anyone offer him a salary of 50 yuan.

Lu Chen sighed and said, "Oh, our company has just been established and we don't have much money. We need to control the cost of the movie."

Chen Chuan asked: "Then how much money are you planning to invest in this movie?"

"3000 million." Lu Chen replied.

"3000?"

Chen Chuan frowned, what can 3000 million yuan do, some actors are paid more than 3000 million yuan.

"3000 million is too little. You must have a mature actor to play the male lead in your play, otherwise it is very likely that the acting will be nondescript."

"How about this, find someone else to invest, if I help you to attract investment, it's easier."

Chen Chuan has a certain reputation and prestige in the film and television industry. If he wants to make a movie, even if those investors are not optimistic, they will invest more or less. Everyone knows that Chen Chuan is a person who can’t make a movie if the script is not good. Man, the movies he makes must only be made if they look good, and his vision is relatively accurate. Even if he doesn't make much money sometimes, he won't lose money.

Lu Chen didn't answer, he fell into deep thought, so many people said that the cost is a bit low, it means that the cost is really low, whether this bet should be taken or not.

Seeing that Lu Chen seemed a little unwilling, Chen Chuan continued: "Then why don't I bring money into the team?"

Chen Chuan has also made many films in the past that were not cost-effective. In many cases, he brought money into the team and finished the film first.

Lu Chen shook his head and said, "It still won't work. I still want to take a gamble. Even if I lose the bet, the price won't be too high."

Seeing that Lu Chen was so determined, Chen Chuan couldn't say anything, but he still felt that his salary was too low.

"By the way, is Shiyin also a shareholder of Chenyin Company?" Chen Chuan asked.

Lu Chen replied, "Yes, she holds [-] shares."

Hearing this answer, Chen Chuan didn't worry about the pay anymore, and just regarded him as helping the daughter of an old classmate.

When he was in Huaying, he and Shitian were brothers who slept on bunk beds. After graduating later, he also received a lot of help from Shitian, which made him achieve what he is today. It's just that Shitian's company has grown bigger and he can't be too busy. Come on, the two have their own affairs, so they have almost lost contact.

Chen Chuan took another sip of coffee, then got up from his seat and said, "Okay, I'll accept this film, but the cost of your film is too low, so I may have to use newcomers. Not sure."

Hearing this, Lu Chen said happily, "Thank you Director Chen."

Afterwards, Chen Chuan signed a contract with Chenyin Company. As soon as the contract was signed, Lu Chen immediately prepared to form a crew and contacted the filming base. He was so busy that he didn't even eat lunch.

At around one o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Yin came to the company. She carried a box of lunch and put it in front of Lu Chen. At the moment, Lu Chen was on the phone. After the phone call, Lu Chen realized that it was already one o'clock.

Looking at the boxed lunch in front of him, Lu Chen said in surprise, "It's so good, why did you even bring me a meal?"

Shi Yin slumped on the chair and said, "That is, I am kind by nature."

Lu Chen opened the lunch box and looked at it. It was full of meat, but not any vegetables.

Lu Chen was tired of eating meat, but since others brought him food, he couldn't say anything about not eating it.

Shi Yin asked at this time: "I heard that you found me an agent?"

After Lin Zijie completed the entry procedures for Tong Huan, he called Shi Yin and told her about his manager.

Lu Chen stopped what he was doing, pointed to the person outside who was peeking at the office, and said, "That's it."

Seeing Lu Chen looking at him, Tong Huan quickly turned his gaze back and pretended not to see it.

Shi Yin pinched her chin, and said thoughtfully, "Why does this little sister look so tender? You can't find a lover in the name of finding an agent for me, right?"

Tong Huan herself belongs to that kind of pure girl. She is very suitable to be an idol, but because of her relatively introverted personality, she has not been selected. However, girls like her are very popular with men. In other words, as long as she takes the initiative a little bit, basically most men will not be able to resist her.

Lu Chen looked at Tong Huan outside, and said, "Hey, don't tell me, this little girl is quite pretty, just right, I don't have a girlfriend, so I can consider it."
