Lin Chen went from a singer to an actor, and from an actor to a behind-the-scenes director, he encountered all kinds of troubles in his previous life, especially when he was a director, not to mention that a certain financier suddenly agreed to not give the investment, and the actor suddenly refused to cooperate, not to mention the open and secret battles in the crew, so this also developed his principle of doing things!

Whatever happens, prepare for the worst first, this is one of the director's golden rules!

The contribution of the four major film and television companies is just Lin Chen's temptation, what he believes is the professionalism of the eight major film and television groups in this time and space, if he can get the investment, it will be better, so that Lin Chen can shoot easily, and he can control the quality more!

But if all the four refuse, Lin Chen will not panic!

It's nothing more than a dead chicken holding up a hard foot, simply put, a dead support!

Tong Qing really felt that Lin Chen in front of him was a little strange today, if the previous Lin Chen was a young man and an old man, and he liked to act steadily, then Lin Chen in front of him showed another side everywhere.

Adventurous, aggressive!

Originally, Tong Qing thought that the refusal of the three film and television companies would make Lin Chen retreat, but who knew that Lin Chen would shoot by himself!

"Lin Chen, how much money do you have in total?"

Tong Qing frowned slightly: "Besides, you are a screenwriter and don't understand the director, can you shoot it yourself?"

Lin Chen said with a smile: "At present, I have a total of 400,000 yuan in my hand, all of which have been saved by these four families, plus the 100,000 yuan remuneration for the theme song of the song "Cool Cool", which is 500,000 yuan!"

"You don't have a fever!"

Tong Qing stretched out her hand and touched Lin Chen's head and said, "How can you talk nonsense, you still want to shoot a TV series for 500,000 yuan?" I think it's difficult for you to even form a crew!"

"It's up to man!"

Lin Chen has several sets of plans in his heart, 500,000 is definitely not enough, but if he adds another 500,000, it will not be a big problem!

This 500,000 can pull sponsorship!

For ordinary people, 500,000 may not be saved in a lifetime, but for enterprises, this money is a drizzle!

Therefore, if you want companies to sponsor it, you must have strong features...... Flickers!

Seeing that Lin Chen was the king of the scales, Tong Qing also suddenly said: "Lin Chen, hasn't the heroine of this drama found anyone yet?"

"Ah, no. ”

Lin Chen shook his head slightly, the heroine in "Soul Ferry" is Wang Xiaoya, in the first episode, she came to the convenience store No. 444 as a ghost in a "soulless" state, Holly helped her return to her body, and then she became a frequent customer of the convenience store, and formed a trio with the male protagonist Xia Dongqing and Zhao Yan.

However, in Lin Chen's view, the core of "Soul Ferry" is the plot, and Wang Xiaoya's selection does not need to be very good at acting skills, and the acting skills of the actors in "Soul Ferry" at that time were just like that!

"Lin Chen, I want this heroine!"

Tong Qing said suddenly: "I will bring 500,000 yuan of investment into the group, so that the heroine of "Soul Ferry" is decided, and I can also try the unspoken rules!"

"Tong Qing, I ......"

"Okay, that's it, you have my phone, wait for my phone when the filming starts, I'll leave first, and the agent urged me. ”

Saying that, Tong Qing seemed to be afraid that Lin Chen would regret it, so she picked up her things and slipped away!

Looking at Tong Qing's departing figure, Lin Chen was a little moved!

According to Lin Chen's original plan, a large number of students in the acting department of Jinghua Film Academy have no scenes to film, and these people Hugh said that they will be paid, as long as they are in charge of the boxed lunch friendship starring!

There's no way, don't look at the acting department, there are not many people, but there is no name and no resources, so you can only take on an advertisement, and the salary is only a thousand yuan!

Dong Qiu's first advertising salary at that time was only 2,000 yuan, but then it soared into the sky, although it has fallen again, but this is also an example for most people in Jinghua Film Academy!

Give me a chance and I'll pry the whole planet!

This is the inner thoughts of many students in the acting department of Jinghua Film Academy!

30,000 yuan to find actors, art, equipment, props, cameras, tape recorders, venue rentals, etc., add up to 500,000 yuan, and the rest of the electricity, special effects, catering, accommodation, post-production, etc. cost 470,000 yuan!

1 million!

Lin Chen wants to finish filming "Soul Ferry"!

Although it is a little more compact, if he overspends, Lin Chen can still apply for a fund from the school, after all, he is a talented screenwriter of Jinghua Film Academy, and the school will still give this support!

It's easy to say, but Lin Chen's brain is like a huge database and calculates back and forth, and he thinks it's feasible!

The worst thing, I put all the money on the first few episodes, and then sell them and then shoot the ones later!

Can a living person be suffocated by urine?

As long as there is no impotence and premature ejaculation, then there is definitely hope!

But who would have thought that Tong Qing would be the heroine, and she would bring money into the group!

In the entertainment industry, such a situation is not uncommon, in the previous life, many actors who wanted to participate in the movies of big directors brought money into the group to get roles, and it was also common in this time and space!

But this is all a big production and a big director, what kind of joke is he Lin Chen making about such a small-cost online drama?

30,000 yuan wants to find all the actors, this condition can't even be looked down on by ordinary actors!

Not to mention that Tong Qing belongs to the new generation of artists born in the 90s, although she does not have many opportunities to play the leading role, but the salary of some supporting roles is 4 to 100,000 yuan per episode, and the heroine of "Soul Ferry" is rare by virtue of Mao?

Also bring capital into the group!!

Fools can see it, Tong Qing is worried that Lin Chen's funds are not enough, scratch his head and scratch his head, and help himself!

Well, there is no shame in relying on the righteous support that you really rely on your own ability!

Even if you are told to eat soft rice, what's the matter?

You can do it, you can go eat!

In the next few days, Lin Chen finally sent the fat man a serious task, although this guy has not played a few roles, but he has also met a wave of people in various crews, and the most important thing is that these people are all mixed!

Again, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes!

The crew is a river and lake, and all kinds of positions in it are a radish and a pit, everyone wants to be on the top, and the actors, like photography, video, makeup, lighting and other departments, there are also many recruits who have the ability but lack the opportunity!

These are the people Lin Chen is looking for!

He made a strict form!

Producer: Lin Chen!

Screenwriter: Lin Chen!

Director: Lin Chen!

Production Director: Lin Chen!

......

Low-cost movies naturally require capable people to work harder, and then Lin Chen asked the fat man to mainly find art directors, directors of photography, scene notes, makeup, hairstyles and other members, which the little fat man can still do!

"Fatty, you just remember one thing, we will definitely set up our own creative team in the future, so you can find these people from various studios, and you can also find our classmates from the film school, but first you need them to be responsible, and at the same time, they need to have the same values as us. ”

Lin Chen looked at Xiao Ming and said, "This is the request I gave you, you arrest people according to the order!"

Xiao Ming said confidently: "Lao Lin, don't worry, I have already reached the full value of this skill, and I will definitely fool you into a professional team!"

"I'm not worried about your sister, what kind of cheating? We are making movies, and we are trying to help some people with little future but real material realize their dreams, understand?"

Lin Chen said angrily: "Your thinking is very dangerous!"

MMP's!

Lao Lin's ability to run trains and draw flatbread with his mouth is too strong!

Sure enough, it's not a ghost!

So Xiao Ming said seriously: "Lao Lin, I understand, I must learn from you!"

"Alright, get out of here!"

Lin Chen saw through the little fat man's mind at a glance: "Jokes are jokes, the preparation of the crew can't be careless!"

Soldiers are divided into two ways!

Most of the first season of "Soul Ferry" was directed and filmed around 'No. 444 convenience store', and it happened that there were two such supermarkets in the north and south corners of Jinghua Film Academy, but one was called '24-hour convenience store' and the other was called 'non-closing convenience store'!

Lin Chen was going to talk to the owner of the '24-hour convenience store' first, because he usually likes to come here to eat!

As a result, the boss refused!

"Hehe, we feel that the business is very good, so we don't need it. ”

The boss was a 40-year-old middle-aged man, and he smiled at Lin Chen and said, "But if you need to shoot our supermarket, you can do whatever it takes, I won't charge you!"

Yes, everyone has said this, and Lin Chen has no choice but to leave!

The waiter said on the side: "Boss, this Lin Chen seems to be very famous in the Jinghua Film Academy." ”

"What's the use of being famous?"

The boss shook his head slightly: "The doll is too young, he treats me as a big wrongdoer, 500,000 yuan sponsors him to shoot, and he thinks of it, do you think I look like a stupid?"

......

The 'non-closing convenience store' is a little smaller, but it's still a lot of space!

But what surprised Lin Chen a little was that the boss was replaced by a young man!

"I remember ...... before"

Before Lin Chen finished speaking, the young man interrupted: "My father passed away a few days ago, let me introduce myself, my name is Kong Hai, what is the investment you are talking about?"

When Kong Hai finished listening to Lin Chen, his expression was a little desolate, and he muttered to himself: "Do you say that people really have souls after death?"

"In a man's life, he dies three times. For the first time, when your heart stops beating and your breath dies, you're biologically declared dead!"

"The second time, when you are buried, people come to your funeral dressed in black, and they declare that you no longer exist in this society, that you have disappeared from the network, that you have quietly left"

And the third death is the last person in this world who remembers you, forgets you, and then, you really die. The whole universe will no longer be about you. ”

Lin Chen said the words of "Dream Travel", and then said: "Death is not goodbye, forgetting is!!"

One sentence made Kong Hai suddenly freeze!

This is the first time he has heard this remark, for a long time, he said: "I can agree to your request, I can also sponsor you 500,000 yuan, but I only have one request, I don't want you to bring me much benefit, I just hope you can let everyone remember that there was a boss named Kong Erleng in the former 'non-closing convenience store', please don't forget him!"

"No problem!"

Lin Chen nodded lightly!

In the next week, Lin Chen was choosing a filming location, and at the same time, in order to save money, he applied for an office from the school as a temporary office for the crew!

I have to say that Lin Chen's face is indeed quite big!

When the crew's preliminary preparations were almost complete, Lin Chen, about the casting of actors, was also ready to start Lin's style!
