Chapter 9: Dead Chickens Support Their Feet (Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Tong Qing is not too top-notch among the 90s generation of new artists, but her audience popularity is excellent, and unlike Dong Qiu, a popular artist who is only famous in college, Tong Qing is a child star debut, and when she was 6 years old, she participated in the first TV series "Young Hero" and made her debut!
The current 23-year-old Tong Qing is also an old man in the entertainment industry, but unfortunately she has never had the opportunity to take the lead!
On acting?
Tong Qing is the most powerful person in the hearts of the teachers of Jinghua Film Academy!
On singing?
Tong Qing's singing skills are not weak, although she did not apply for the music department, but her innate singing skills are innate!
It can only be said that her appearance is a little baby-faced, and she is only suitable for playing some youthful and beautiful images, it is difficult to be the female number one in a film and television drama, and even Tong Qing's agent wants her to use a knife to change this face shape!
After all, big directors like delicate melon seed faces, but Tong Qing refused, she always insisted on her body hair and skin, and her parents were accepted, of course, the most important reason was that she was afraid of ...... Hurt!
Because of this, Tong Qing's acting career is not smooth sailing, she wants to go further, for this reason, last year there was a drama that said that she was the number one female at the beginning, and she prepared for 2 months, fitness, weight loss, and watching materials, but at the end of the day, she was temporarily replaced!
This incident hit Tong Qing very hard, and even in the first half of the year, Tong Qing wanted to give up acting, because she had almost no drama to take over at that time, and at the age of 22, she was in a very embarrassing situation!
I can't take the children's play, but she can't compete for the role of the protagonist of youth and urban dramas, after all, a 35-year-old woman still plays a 18.19 girl, and she won't be given a chance at all!
When she was confused, Tong Qing was almost depressed, and it was at that time that she met Lin Chen by chance, and she had also heard of Tong Qing, the ghost screenwriter of Jinghua Film Academy, but she had never been in contact!
"Being an actor is a profession, and the fight is not for a while, it is for a lifetime, no one can always go on smoothly, take advantage of the time when there is no filming to study your acting skills, and improve yourself is the most important thing, so that you can grasp the opportunity when it comes!"
It was Lin Chen's words that made Tong Qing suddenly brightened, and on New Year's Day, she auditioned for Yao Furong, the heroine of the TV series "Three Lives", because of her amazing acting skills, she passed all the way and won it smoothly!
Therefore, for Lin Chen, Tong Qing is grateful and admired!
I have seen so many people, this Lin Chen is the only boy who can endure fame and fortune, loneliness and look so handsome!
"You really know how to write songs!"
Tong Qing, who thinks she knows Lin Chen very well, was also surprised when she looked at the lyrics of "Cool and Cool", especially the lyrics of this song are very, very bleak!
What's even more rare is that this song is very well matched with the theme song of "Three Lives"!
'Liang Liang Sansheng III is suddenly like a dream' doesn't express the helplessness and emotion of the long years!
This is simply too well matched?
Lin Chen said with a smile: "Don't say so much, what do you think of this song?"
Tong Qing raised her head and said, "It's very good, and the lyrics are very beautiful, Lin Chen, let's go to the 'Dream' recording studio to record this song!"
"But ......"
Before Lin Chen could finish speaking, Tong Qing had already pulled Lin Chen out of the café and went straight to the 'Dream' recording studio next to the school!
In two hours, the new version of "Cool and Cool" was officially released!
Fortunately, in the recording studio, although Lin Chen sang averagely, he was perfectly made up for by the recording engineer through the processing of the equipment!
No wonder someone said that in the recording studio, as long as there is a good recording engineer, it doesn't matter if you can't sing, as long as you are not dumb, he can make you a professional singer!
No way, the sound engineer is so awesome!
Otherwise, why do many singers dare not sing live at all?
Because when they sing, they will be timid!
"Thank you, Brother Liu, thank you so much!"
After listening to the song "Cool and Cool", Tong Qing also sighed with a sigh of relief and thanked Da Liu, the owner of the recording studio!
"Haha, it should be me thank you, the songs that are usually recorded are all kinds of scum, and it is rare to have a good song today. ”
Da Liu laughed and said: "If there is any good song in the future, come to me to record it, and you can do it without charging money!"
"No problem!"
Tong Qing and Lin Chen also said with a smile, in the four years of college, everyone knows Da Liu, the owner of the 'Dream Recording Studio'!
This is a 40-year-old man who still has a dream...... Greasy middle-aged man!
Admirable!
Out of the recording studio, Tong Qing called the director directly: "Director Gao, do you remember what I told you? Yes, it's Lin Chen, don't, don't be in a hurry to refuse, I recorded the song, you listen to it first, I'll send you an email!"
After hanging up the phone, Tong Qing also hurriedly sent the song "Cool Cool" to Gao Chunlei!
"That's it!"
Tong Qing said to Lin Chen in a good mood: "Don't worry, if Director Gao agrees, the honorarium of 100,000 yuan will definitely be indispensable!"
"That's good!"
Lin Chen nodded lightly: "It just so happens that I've been short of money recently!"
"Huh?"
Tong Qing said: "Is something wrong? If you really need money urgently, I have it here!"
"It's not a big deal, I wrote a script and wanted to write and direct it myself!"
Lin Chen waved his hand slightly and said.
"Oh, I wrote a script, I wrote it myself...... Wait!!"
Tong Qing suddenly exclaimed: "You are the director yourself??"
Lin Chen was already used to the three roommates of the little fat man, so he was not surprised by Tong Qing's exclamation, he said with a smile: "Yes!"
"Are you sure you're not kidding?"
Tong Qing felt a little dizzy, last year, the person in front of him who still swore lightly told himself, "Young people, don't be too presumptuous, don't be ambitious, be down-to-earth, I am ready to spend 4 years in the screenwriter industry to accumulate, the director does not exist, it is stupid to be a director rashly!'!"
How did you become a director in the blink of an eye?
What has been experienced?
Looking at Lin Chen's appearance, Tong Qing was in a trance: "It's all caused by love!"
Back to the 'Cape' Cafe!
Tong Qing is not in a hurry to go back, she must persuade Lin Chen to dispel this dangerous year, because the rise of short films in the past two years can be said to be directors everywhere, almost the same as the music world, all shallow Wang Bashen!
Problem: Lin Chen is just shooting a short film for fun, but she actually wants to shoot a TV series, and it is a 20-episode TV series!
"I'll take a look at this script!"
After sitting down, Tong Qing was going to read the script first, and this time Tong Qing was also a little surprised like other review editors!
Lin Chen's storyboard script is too professional!
After a long time, Tong Qing finished reading the script, but she shook her head and said, "What is your expected investment cost for this drama?"
"Roughly 3 million!"
Lin Chen thought for a while and said, "It should be okay to save some shooting!"
"3 million ???"
Tong Qing smiled a little bitterly: "Is this enough? I'm afraid that there are more than 3 million actors alone!"
"No, I'll just invite some new people. ”
Lin Chen explained with a smile that most of the actors in "Soul Ferry" in another time and space are amateurs, not even group performances, it is completely the employees of the video website who come to join in the fun!
Thinking about their careful calculations, Lin Chen also had his own ideas in his heart!
However, there is one point of view, Lin Chen thinks that what Tong Qing said is very correct!
"Soul Ferry" is an excellent script, and even watching these two episodes alone is exciting enough, but the problem is that the four major film and television companies can buy the script, but they can't rest assured that Lin Chen will be the director!
Many well-known directors often can't get investment with scripts, why do you, a freshman who graduated from Jinghua Film Academy, trust you with film and television companies?
Lin Chen also prepared for the worst, but he still wanted to fight!
As it turned out, he didn't get it right!
In the two hours of chatting with Tong Qing, Lin Chen successively received calls from Bohan Film and Television Company and Wanya Film and Television, and the other party was very interested in buying the script, but when he heard that Lin Chen wanted to be his own director, he instantly dispelled the idea!
"I don't know how thick the sky is!"
This is the voice of the editors of the two major film and television companies!
Tong Qing also spread his hands: "Look, I'm right, Lin Chen, you should know Xue Ping, he also changed from screenwriter to director, but his first script is still no one willing to invest, at that time he was already a well-known screenwriter in the industry, but it was useless, unless you prove yourself, he sold his car and house to shoot the popular movie "Little Soldier Killer".
As a result, investors immediately approached him for the second movie, saying that as long as it does not exceed 30 million, he can find a script to shoot!"
Speaking of this, Tong Qing looked at Lin Chen and said, "You understand what I mean!"
Of course, Lin Chen understands that although he doesn't know this Xue Ping, it is almost the same reason that Ning Hao went from no one to the outbreak of "Crazy Stone" in his previous life, and then was approached by investors with money!
Capital is the most realistic!
The third company to contact Lin Chen was Jingchao Film and Television, and the other party was very sincere, and the editor Wu Zhen actually came to interview Lin Chen with his team!
The other party wanted to persuade Lin Chen to give up the position of director, and even Wu Zhen said: "Lin Chen, we can let you be an assistant director, so that you can also learn how to shoot experience, after all, directors are not like that!"
If Lin Chen is just a screenwriter, there is nothing wrong with this!
But he had been a director for several years in his previous life, so Lin Chen also shook his head and said, "Thank you, Wu Zhen, but I think we may not be able to cooperate!"
"It's a shame indeed!"
Wu Zhen's hole cards had already been revealed, but when he was leaving, Wu Zhen said in a low voice: "Lin Chen, I personally like this work very much, I hope you can shoot it well." ”
"Hehe, thank you!"
Lin Chen chuckled!
If the transaction is not benevolent, these three major film and television companies will inevitably cooperate in the future, Lin Chen can't always set up a strong flag and say: "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi?"
If that's the case, he's not brain-dead, he's stupid!
"Isn't it very frustrating?"
Tong Qing also walked over after watching Wu Zhen and the others leave, and said, "Let me tell you a good news, the theme song Gao Dao agreed, you give me a bank account number, and I will call you the money later." ”
"Done!"
Lin Chen nodded and said.
"What are you going to do next?"
Tong Qing looked at Lin Chen and said, "Do you want to be a director?"
"Yes, I don't think there's much drama in the fourth company. ”
Lin Chen shook his head slightly at this time and said, "Since this is the case, then the dead chicken will hold on to its hard feet." ”
Tong Qing sighed, "What do you mean?"
......
