"I'm going to use new actors and directors, although there may be some discounts on the quality of the film, but this can control the cost of the film to the greatest extent. ”

Hearing Lu Chen's answer, Shi Yin felt a little surprised.

It's okay to use rookie actors, but it's too much to use rookie directors, right?

How can a rookie director make this kind of movie well.

Gambling is not a good thing, in case the time is lost, it is the worst, after all, it is not easy to accumulate 30 million funds.

"How can a rookie actor play well, I think it's better to find someone to invest, there is no need to take this risk. Shi Yin said.

Lu Chen finished eating the bread in a few bites, then took a deep sip of milk, turned his head to look at Shi Yin and said: "The newcomers I am talking about do not refer to people like you who have not acted in the past, but to those who have not played the leading role in a group performance, they also have a certain amount of filming experience, and it is possible to play the leading role well." ”

"What about the director? If the director is not selected well, the film will probably be scrapped. Shi Yin said.

Lu Chen thought for a while and said: "Director is indeed a problem, I'll first find out if there are any well-known directors with relatively low salaries." ”

Shi Yin took out his mobile phone at this time, and while playing with his mobile phone, he said absentmindedly:

"Whatever you want, anyway, you are a major shareholder, and it is your fault if you lose. ”

After Shi Yin turned on his mobile phone, he went to the script network to search for the script of "Journey to the West", and soon, this script was searched, there were only a few scenes in the script, and it was indeed written by a person named Chenlu, this Chenlu also wrote "The Unruly Princess", it seems that this screenwriter is not simple, and I will have the opportunity to meet this screenwriter in the future.

The dialogue of the characters in "Journey to the West" gave Shi Yin a deep shock, so she was very curious about what kind of person Chen Lu, the screenwriter, could write such a script, of course, it was only curiosity.

After Lu Chen made a decision, he began to prepare for making a movie, and Cheng Ming was more experienced in this area and could help him.

After breakfast, Lu Chen made a phone call with Cheng Ming, and on the phone, the two discussed the issue of the director.

Sometimes, no matter how well the script is written, if the director doesn't find a good one, the movie is likely to be directly extinguished, so Lu Chen still attaches more importance to the director's problems.

After Cheng Ming answered the phone, he listed several directors with filming experience to Lu Chen, Cheng Ming had been in contact with many directors in the past, so he knew quite a few directors.

After listing the names of several directors, Cheng Ming asked on the phone:

"How are these directors?"

Lu Chen thought for a moment, and then replied: "None of the directors you listed seem to have made any successful film and television dramas. ”

Cheng Ming said: "It's true, most of the movies they make can't even get back, and because of this, their salaries are not very high, but they all have experience in making movies." ”

Hearing Cheng Ming's words, Lu Chen fell silent.

Can't even recover the cost of the movie you made?

So what are you looking for these people for?

But it's not necessarily the director's problem, it may also be because they don't have a good script.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen said to Cheng Ming on the other end of the phone: "You send me a few movies made by these directors." ”

"Okay, I'll send it to you right away. ”

"So let's do it for now, I'll watch these movies and then call you. ”

"Good. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Chen hung up the phone, and soon Cheng Ming sent Lu Chen the names of the movies made by the directors he said earlier.

Lu Chen sat in front of the computer, quickly searched for these movies, and then prepared to watch them slowly, originally he thought it would take him a lot of time, but it actually took less than half an hour, and he swept through a few movies, and the result was even worse than he imagined.

When he watched the first movie, he didn't see it for ten minutes, and he just walked out, and there were only some inconsequential shots in the movie, and I really didn't know if the director was making a movie or a documentary about animals and plants.

The second movie is even more exaggerated, the actor speaks his lines as if he was reading a textbook, without emotion, although this is the actor's problem, or the voice actor's problem, but it is also the director's fault that he can allow such things to be made.

The third movie Lu Chen turned off directly as soon as he opened it, and after turning it off, he quickly looked at Shiyin not far away, and saw that Shiyin didn't notice him at all, Lu Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and almost made a big mistake, grandma's third movie was actually an adult movie......

The kind of lightning strike that opens the screen......

What the hell is this Cheng Ming doing, and this kind of director is also introduced to him? Can a director who makes a two-person movie use it to make a normal movie?

Lu Chen was a little angry and called Cheng Ming directly.

After Cheng Ming answered the phone, he asked suspiciously, "Lu Chen, have you finished reading it so quickly?"

Lu Chen said angrily: "Look at the ghost, what kind of movies are you sending me?" ”

Seeing that Lu Chen was angry, Cheng Ming hurriedly said: "These directors still have a certain level, but they are limited by the script. ”

Lu Chen immediately said: "No, these directors are definitely not good, think about it again, are there any other candidates." ”

"Then I'll think again. ”

When Cheng Ming's words fell, he fell into a long contemplation, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Lu Chen saw that Cheng Ming hadn't spoken for so long, so he asked directly, "How is it, I didn't think of that?"

Cheng Ming said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "I think of one, but I don't know if you can invite it, and his salary is also based on the script, if he is satisfied with the script, even if he is not paid, he is willing to shoot." ”

Hearing this, Lu Chen asked suspiciously, "Who is it?"

In these years, are there any directors who don't want to be paid? This makes Lu Chen very curious, which kind of good person is he.

Cheng Ming replied, "Chen Chuan, Director Chen." ”

Hearing this name, Lu Chen was stunned.

Chen Chuan is an old drama bone, a bigwig-level director, it is said that when he was in charge of filming "The Savage Princess", the dream country gave him a salary of 11 million, although such a salary is not one-tenth of the salary of some traffic stars, but if Chenyin's 30 million film budget is taken to hire a director, the next steps will not be necessary.

"We're afraid we can't afford it. Lu Chen said helplessly.

Cheng Ming said: "Director Chen still has some images of you, you can show him this script first, it was because I showed him the unruly princess that he persuaded the shareholders of the dream country to shoot this TV series." ”

"Okay, I'll try, so let's do it first. ”

"Okay. ”

Hanging up the phone again, Lu Chen sighed, the director is really a trouble.

At this time, he had to think that if he had the talent of directing, it would be good.

But it's a pity that he's not a god, he doesn't even know what knowledge a director should have, how can he be a director.

No one is omnipotent, even if he is a reborn timer from Earth.

At this time, Shi Yin, who was not far away, said: "What are you sighing at a young age, like an old man!"

Lu Chen was a little speechless, this guy belongs to the kind of person who opens his mouth for food and stretches out his hands for clothes, waiting for others to feed her with resources, she is relaxed, and she doesn't have a backache when she stands and talks.

"Cheng Ming said that we can't find a director, we can try it with Chen Chuan, if the script is better, maybe he won't ask for too much pay. Lu Chen said.

Hearing what Lu Chen said, Shi Yin fell into deep thought, and after a while, she spoke: "This old man said before that if I encounter any difficulties in the entertainment industry in the future, I can find him, why don't I try him?"

Lu Chen asked suspiciously, "He's so good to you, can't he try to uncover you?"

Shi Yin put down the guitar, got up from his seat, and then said disdainfully: "Just him? You still want to subtly rule me? I can abolish him with one kick." ”

"You are like this, I guess even if he doesn't want to uncover the rules, you don't want to help you......" Lu Chen wanted to speak and stopped, Shi Yin, this guy spoke so strongly, he deserved to be from the mountains, the people were simple, it is estimated that just like her, few men dare to provoke her, if it is planted in her hands one day, wouldn't it be a lifetime of happiness to be gone.

Shi Yin continued at this time: "I can ask first, if he wants to come, forget if he doesn't." ”

"I'm also the boss of the film investor now, and no matter how unspoken the rules are, they can't sneak into my head. Shi Yin said confidently.

Part of the reason why she wants to go it alone is because she wants to avoid the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry, she is her own boss, she has resources, and no one can uncover the rules on her.

"Okay, then you try. ”

Lu Chen also wanted to know if Shi Yin could invite Chen Chuan, if he could invite him, it would naturally be the best, if he couldn't invite him, then there was no way, so he continued to look for the director.

Shi Yin immediately took out his mobile phone, then found Chen Chuan's phone and immediately called him.

At this moment, Chen Chuan was enjoying his old age, sitting on the observation deck of the villa at home basking in the sun, and when he saw the mobile phone on the table ringing, he immediately reached over and picked up the mobile phone.

Well?

When he found out that it was Shiyin's call, he was a little surprised, this niece could actually think of him, what was the matter with him?

After connecting the phone, Shi Yin immediately asked, "Director Chen, are you busy now?"

Chen Chuan replied suspiciously: "Not busy, do you have anything to do?"

"That's right, the company I opened invested in a movie, and I want to hire a more experienced director, I wonder if Director Chen is interested?"

Chen Chuan asked rhetorically: "How is the script written?"

Hearing Shiyin say that she opened a company and also invested in movies, which stimulated Chen Chuan's strong interest.

This Shiyin has just become famous, and he actually jumped out of the capital circle directly and played with capital by himself, which is something that many first-line stars can't think of.

Of course, although Shiyin himself is a rich second generation, he did not use his family's resources.

"It's okay to get the script, but the salary may be a little low. Shi Yin said truthfully.

"Then you send me the first part of the script, and I'll read it first. ”

After all, Chen Chuan is a director who pays more attention to the script, and a few words are inseparable from the script.

"You don't need me to send it, you go to the script online to search for Chenlu, he posted the script of Journey to the West. Shi Yin said.

Hearing Shi Yin say the word "morning dew", Chen Chuan's brain was stunned, isn't Chen Lu the screenwriter of "The Unruly Princess", that is, Lu Chen? He has written a new script? And he plans to make a movie?

Because the drama "Unruly Princess" is relatively good, Chen Chuan began to look forward to the movie "Journey to the West" for a while, and he immediately appeared on the script network and searched for Chenlu's script, and sure enough, he found one more.

Subsequently, Chen Chuan quickly glanced at the first few scenes of "Journey to the West", and he quickly judged that this "Journey to the West" is likely to be better than the script of "The Barbarian Princess", of course, this is a movie script, which is different from the TV series script.

After watching the first few scenes of "Journey to the West", Chen Chuan asked, "Shiyin, do you know this screenwriter?"

Shi Yin replied, "I don't know, I want to meet this person when I have the chance." ”

Hearing this, Chen Chuan sighed twice, this Lu Chen is really interesting, he wrote the script without Shi Yin, and then took it to her to shoot, I don't know what he means, in fact, there is no need to hide it at all.

I don't know if this Lu Chen knows Shi Yin's true identity, although Lu Chen seems to like Shi Yin very much and is willing to pay silently for her, but Shi Yin is a rich family after all, I'm afraid that Shi Tian is not easy to pass.

Obviously, Chen Chuan misunderstood Lu Chen.

"So, I'll come to Hwaseong on Tuesday, and you can show me the full script then. "Chen Chuan is thousands of miles away at the moment, and it will take some time to rush over.

"Okay, so be it. ”

After speaking, Chen Chuan hung up the phone.

Lu Chen witnessed the call between Shi Yin and Chen Chuan throughout the whole process, he felt very incredible, Shi Yin, this guy can still talk well, why is he always crazy and immodest in front of him, although she is a little direct when she talks to Chen Chuan, but she is not particularly rude.

But it's okay, after all, Chen Chuan was invited, and now it depends on whether Chen Chuan is interested in "Journey to the West" in the follow-up, and whether the salary can be reduced.

The next day.

Chenyin Company.

When Lu Chen came to the company, it was already half past ten, and he had been preparing for the filming of the movie last night, and he slept very late, so he woke up late this morning.

What made him a little speechless was that since the scripts of the first few scenes of his "Journey to the West" were posted on the script online, the mobile phone messages have basically not been broken, and many companies want to cooperate with him and buy his scripts.

On the way to the company, his mobile phone vibrated almost all the time, and as soon as he entered the company, the mobile phone rang again, and he couldn't bear it, Lu Chen finally turned off his mobile phone.

Just as he took out the gap of turning off his mobile phone, he saw a girl walking past him, this person was very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

Then Lu Chen found Lin Zijie, and then asked, "What position did the woman apply for before?"

"Agent, she said she wanted to be the agent of the current voice. ”
