I really don't want to make bad movies!

Ye Heng, a business specialist at the QuanQuan secondhand platform, returned home after a busy day, took off his coat and tossed it aside, then turned on his computer.

Even though he's off work, he still habitually stares at computer data every day.

He is not only ambitious, but also burdened with mortgage and car loan payments.

Unlike other salespeople who just coast along.

He is a top salesperson. Every time he receives the company's promotional budget, he carefully calculates the costs, finds bloggers with high-quality data, and discusses prices in detail to balance the rate of return.

With her dedication and hard work, she didn't know if the bonus she earned would be enough to cover her future medical expenses.

As Ye Heng took out his phone to clear the messages in the work group, he saw a message from an unexpected person.

"Explanation of the sun and moon?"

The name is preceded by a note that reads "High-quality blogger, price per post is 10,000".

I saw a message from the other party: "Hello, I have a high-quality project that is looking for sponsorship. Is your platform interested?"

Ye Heng couldn't help but sit up straight, while muttering to himself.

Why would a movie commentator need sponsorship?

Are we going to use a Tianhe-1 supercomputer for video editing?

Although he had some reservations in his heart, Ye Heng was deeply impressed by Riyue's commentary and was a fan of Riyue's commentary, so he continued the conversation.

What kind of sponsorship do you need for your commentary videos?

[However, the data for the last video was quite good, and my return on investment was good. How about we continue our collaboration for the next video?]

The commentator didn't answer him, but instead asked, "Have you watched my videos?"

Ye Heng: [I've seen it, it's very well done]

Sun and Moon's Commentary: [I actually work in the film and television industry.]

Ye Heng was a little surprised, his fingers flying across the keyboard: [You said you were looking for sponsorships, does that mean you're going to make a movie yourself?]

While I admire Riyue's sharp commentary and really enjoy his video content, who would invest in a small content creator to make a movie?

Sun and Moon Commentary replied quickly: [It's not about making a movie, it's about making a web series.]

[Web series?]

Ye Heng lost even more interest.

I'm not interested in that right now; you should look for someone else.

I turned off my phone, but when I looked up, I saw a message pop up on WeChat on my computer, announcing the Sun and Moon Interpretation.

Actually, compared to movies, web series are more suitable for customized product placements. The immersive experience isn't as strong, so viewers are more tolerant and accepting of product placements.

Moreover, the main audience for online dramas is women, who consume online more frequently and thus generate a higher return on investment.

Ye Heng nodded repeatedly as he read, finding his points to be reasonable and well-founded.

But he still doesn't plan to invest any money.

The investment required for product placement in a TV show and for inserting it into a video is worlds apart.

Find a YouTuber with millions of followers to insert the GG (Girl's Name), and you can get it done for 500,000.

However, getting product placement in a TV series often starts at a million.

He only had a budget of five million for advertising, so he didn't dare to throw it all into a web series.

If the production team of "Chinese Paladin 4" approached him for investment, Ye Heng would go all in without hesitation.

After all, the Legend of Sword and Fairy 4 IP is big enough and has a large following; even a fool would know that investing in it would be profitable.

But he doesn't have that connection!

As the final project of iQiyi, "Chinese Paladin 4" was locked in by major investors as soon as the project was announced. How could he, as a specialist, get involved?

However, Ye Heng did have a good impression of Riyue's commentary and believed in the other party's strength.

After a moment's internal deliberation, he typed: "Have you filmed any sample footage of the first few episodes, or a script outline?"

I'll consider it based on the quality of the film.

After waiting for a while, I still didn't see a reply from Sun and Moon Commentary.

Ye Heng thought to himself: Is this guy trying to scam me?

Trying to get something for nothing without preparing anything at all?

Just as I was debating whether to blacklist Sun and Moon Commentator, a message finally popped up in the chat box.

[I can't reveal the details of the series, but I can tell you about the cast and crew.]

Ye Heng frowned, already somewhat unwilling to continue the conversation.

Why would a blogger with only 80,000 followers talk about the cast and crew of a TV series?

[The lead actor is Chen Kun]

"Who?"

Ye Heng was taken aback and copied the name into the search engine.

Seeing that angular face on the webpage awakened memories deep within his mind.

Isn't this Chen Kun, who played the role in "The Story of a Noble Family"?

Are you fucking kidding me?

He sent the screenshot along with the comment: "[This Chen Kun?]"

【Um】

The commentator casually replied with a single word, then sent another message: "Our production manager is Jiang Wen, and he personally reviewed this script. I can send you the outline if you'd like to see it."

Upon seeing this sentence, Ye Heng's brain went blank again.

Jiang Wen?

No need to search this time.

He is a fan of Jiang Wen!

The photography was done by Jiang Wen's go-to director of photography, along with a professional team from Beijing Film Studio.

Zhao Fei?

Ye Heng was unfamiliar with the name, but he came to a conclusion after searching.

Professor at Beijing Film Academy, an industry leader with numerous honors!

What is the origin of this explanation of the sun and moon?

Could they possibly persuade these powerful figures to come?!

Ye Heng was not blinded by these impressive titles.

As a top salesperson, he wouldn't easily fall for the sweet talk of fundraisers.

After calming down, he slowly typed three words: "[A bit fake]"

There was silence on the other end for a long time.

After a long pause, he sent another message: "I know language isn't enough to convince you, so why don't you come to the Jinghai Art and Cultural Creative Film Studio next to Beijing Film Studio the day after tomorrow to see how our crew is filming on location?"

That concludes our chat.

Ye Heng felt a surge of turmoil in his heart.

Looking at his personal data in the company's software, the subtle increases indicated that his work was progressing steadily.

That's it.

To soar to great heights, you need an investment return rate that breaks through the sky.

Is this explanation of the sun and moon true or false?

……

mountain city.

After filming wrapped on "Let the Bullets Fly", Chen Kun returned home to rest.

Thinking about his superb performance on set, Chen Kun felt refreshed and happy.

He wasn't originally cast as the character Hu Wan.

In order to improve his acting image and shed the label of "young idol".

At the dinner table, Chen Kun deliberately used reverse psychology on Jiang Wen: "A director like you definitely wouldn't dare to use a young, handsome actor like me!"

As it turned out, Jiang Wen actually fell for the trap and gave him the role of Hu Wan.

Although the pay wasn't high, Chen Kun was very satisfied.

Constantly being labeled a "traffic idol" will only narrow his acting roles.

Occasionally, one also needs to showcase their acting skills to the audience.

After finishing his work, Chen Kun's phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, his brows furrowed slightly.

Xia Ming?

That very talented photographer?

What do you want from me?

"Brother Kun, I'm so sorry to bother you so late."

Chen Kun sat on the balcony enjoying the breeze, his phone on speakerphone beside him. He replied absentmindedly, "It's nothing, I went to bed late."

"What do you need me for?" Chen Kun didn't think he was familiar with Xia Ming, so he didn't bother with small talk.

Xia Ming got straight to the point: "Well, the filming of 'Let the Bullets Fly' has wrapped up, right? Director Jiang thinks I have potential, so he's planning to support me in making a web series."

"Would you be supported in making web series?"

Chen Kun had witnessed Xia Ming's abilities, and he also knew that Jiang Wen favored Xia Ming greatly.

"Yes, he reviewed the script and was very satisfied."

Chen Kun narrowed his eyes, stood up from the rattan chair, picked up his phone, turned off the speakerphone, and held it to his ear.

"You want to recruit me into the crew?"

"Yes! There's a role in the script that's perfect for you. In fact, your acting in Let the Bullets Fly really impressed Director Jiang, so he thinks this role is suitable for you."

Can I have it?

Chen Kun became interested and pressed further, "What's the budget?"

Xia Ming's confident voice came through the phone: "Producer Ma has already invested money in me, and we've also secured other sponsorships, totaling around ten million, depending on our filming schedule."

"Did Producer Ma also invest?"

"Of course! The photography is still done by Teacher Zhao and his team, you could say it's the original team from Let the Bullets Fly."

Zhao Fei is also there?

He knew perfectly well what level the original cast and crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" were at.

Chen Kun strode back inside, turned off the noisy television, and sat on the sofa.

"What kind of character is it?"

"The character's name is Shao Zhuang, and the term 'semi-divine' can be used to describe him. He's incredibly shrewd, meticulous, and cunning—quite charming!"

These few words greatly piqued Chen Kun's interest.

He's looking to broaden his acting range and take on more challenging roles.

"Brother Kun, but you might be disappointed about the pay. I'm just a poor student and can't find any more investment. I can only offer you 1.5 million for three episodes."

"If reshoots are needed, the remuneration will be discussed later."

These words had barely left the receiver when they drifted out of Chen Kun's other ear.

As long as the script is good and the production team is capable, what does a low salary matter?

"Send me the script first."

"Okay."

Chen Kun hung up the phone and soon received a detailed script from Xia Ming.

He opened the notebook on his computer and scanned it, and immediately noticed that something was wrong with it!

Although there is a clear element of restraint, the dialogue and language style are clearly the work of Jiang Wen!

Is Director Jiang really that deeply involved?

Producer and screenwriter at the same time?

He turned the script to the next page and saw the scene featuring the central character, Shao Zhuang.

Looking at the intellectual battles and plot twists in the script, and the superb lines, Chen Kun's eyes couldn't help but shine.

wonderful!

As a veteran actor, he knew that such a character was bound to be liked by the audience.

Don't even mention giving him 1.5 million; I'd do it even if I had to pay him to!

Chen Kun immediately sent Xia Ming a message: 【When will the filming start?】

Xia Ming immediately replied: "I've taken the entire vacation to film this time, so I don't have much time left, only two months. After filming, I still need to go back and catch up on my academic credits."

[The schedule is very tight. Filming starts the day after tomorrow at the Jinghai Art and Cultural Creative Center. Will you be able to make it in time?]

If that doesn't work, I'll have to discuss with Director Jiang about replacing the actor.

Cannot be exchanged!

Chen Kun became anxious.

He knew that if it weren't for the connection with the "Let the Bullets Fly" crew, Xia Ming probably wouldn't have approached him.

It's okay, I can come!

【Thank you for your hard work, Brother Kun.】

Chen Kun was overjoyed and immediately called his agent.

"Sister Li, aside from Director Jiang's publicity work, please postpone any schedules you can get away with for the next two months!"
