"I'm going to shoot?"

Chen Jie looked at the script called "In the Name of the People" in his hand in surprise, and then looked up at the agent that Yindu had arranged for him.

"You come and shoot. ”

The agent smiled bitterly: "After all, the contract with the company has not expired, they let you take it, and you really have no room to refuse." ”

Chen Jie nodded, his expression a little complicated.

After his dream of entering the film industry was shattered, he hadn't taken on a new film for a long time, not that he couldn't get investment, and with Chen Jie's industry qualifications, he would not be reduced to the point where there was no drama to film.

It's just that there are no good projects!

Those projects with high investment and excellent scripts are no longer the turn of their own first-line directors, who are outdated, and the projects that they want to invest in themselves are all works of money, if Chen Jie takes it, he is really willing to fall, and it will become extremely difficult to return to the center of the circle in the future.

"I'll look at the script. ”

Chen Jie said that he is naturally clear about the script collection activity of the screenwriters union, and he still has some expectations in his heart, not seeking ratings, just asking for the script not to be too bad, just to regard it as his farewell work for many years in Yindu......

He has no plans to renew his contract with Yindu.

As one of the Big Seven, Yindu Media's practice of not talking about favors and only talking about achievements has chilled his heart, and when the contract expires, he will switch to other companies, and he will not enter any of the Big Seven anyway.

"I know what you think. ”

The agent got up and said: "But for the sake of our cooperation for so many years, I can help you stand on the last post, if you need help, just tell me, and ...... other."

"What else?"

"In addition, the meaning of the screenwriters' union is that you can also discuss with Luo Yuan how to shoot this drama, at least that's what the screenwriters' union said, I sent you Luo Yuan's contact information. ”

"Got it. ”

Chen Jie was silent in his heart, Luo Yuan's current status, would he really take care of himself, this kind of thing......

"I'll go first. ”

The broker said goodbye and left.

Chen Jie sighed, got rid of the messy thoughts, and looked at the script in his hand-

Then he was fascinated!

With the twists and turns of the plot, Chen Jie's whole person was immersed in the script, so that he didn't notice it when it was dark.

Grunt.

I'm a little hungry.

Chen Jie was stunned, and then his spirit was shocked, he took out his mobile phone, and dialed the number sent to him by the agent with some trepidation.

"Hey, hello ......"

On the other end of the phone, it was a young man's voice, Chen Jie took a deep breath: "Hello Director Luo, I'm Chen Jie, the company just sent me your script, I read it for an afternoon, I like it very much, can we talk about the script?"

After speaking, Chen Jie was a little apprehensive.

However, the voice on the other end of the phone carried a smile: "No problem, let's make an appointment tomorrow to meet ......"

"So be it!"

Chen Jie was overjoyed: "I'll go to your company tomorrow, if you have time......

"Then you'll come over tomorrow. ”

The other end of the phone added: "I have time at any time, you can call me when you arrive." ”

————————

Crimson, in an office somewhere.

Luo Yuan is in a good mood, although he refused to direct and shoot "In the Name of the People", but he is still more interested in this drama, as long as the director is selected appropriately, Luo Yuan believes that the results of this drama will not be bad-

Chen Jie is a suitable candidate.

Although he is no longer in the TV circle, Luo Yuan still knows directors in the TV industry, including Chen Jie, who once filmed a TV series "Guns and Roses" with very good results.

Luo Yuan appreciated it very much.

This is a capable director, and at the same time, Luo Yuan also knew that Chen Jie had tried to enter the film industry, but unfortunately the transformation failed, and he gradually declined in the past few years when he returned to the TV circle......

It doesn't matter.

Luo Yuan is interested in Chen Jie's strength.

He believes that Chen Jie can direct "In the Name of the People", so he doesn't mind giving Chen Jie some help, although the latter's situation Luo Yuan is not very clear, it should not be easy.

The next day.

Seven o'clock in the morning.

Luo Yuan had just gone to work, and Chen Jie came to the company to look for him, this is a man about forty years old, with an ordinary appearance and a somewhat haggard face.

"Hello Luo Dao!"

Chen Jie was very polite to Luo Yuan: "I have read half of the script last night, and my dreams are all stories of the script, and I can't wait to shoot it!"

Luo Yuan quipped: "Aren't you afraid of ratings?"

Chen Jie waved his hand: "Hey, ratings are not the only pursuit, even if some scripts are destined not to be the mainstream of the market, I believe that as long as the quality itself is okay, there will be audiences who like it!"

"That's good. ”

Luo knows the weight of this script far better than anyone else, so ratings are the last thing he worries about.

"Just ......"

Chen Jie hesitated for a while: "Director Luo may not know my situation very well, only 30 million yuan of investment has been allocated, I don't think it's enough to shoot this drama, and there is also the problem of actors, if you want to shoot this drama, you must invite some excellent actors, and it is difficult for me to invite it now, because my contract with Yindu is about to expire......"

Luo Yuan smiled faintly.

He understands Chen Jie's purpose, and there are two problems in front of the other party, one is that the investment is not enough, and the other is that it is difficult to find actors.

"Before I do that, I have a question. ”

Luo Yuan looked at Chen Jie: "How long will it take for the contract between Director Chen and Yindu to expire?"

"Luo Dao wants to ......"

"I don't sell Guanzi anymore, Scarlet wants to invite Director Chen to join, this company has not been established for a long time, and I am the only director at present. ”

Chen Jie hesitated.

It's not that he doesn't want to join Crimson, Luo Yuan is now in full swing, and it is not impossible to join his company, but the conditions have not been explained clearly, and he doesn't know Luo Yuan's personality......

Luo Yuan saw Chen Jie's worry.

If it was changed, it would be impossible for him to follow someone else because of someone else's wooing, and he would follow someone as soon as his brain was hot.

"Director Chen can think about this slowly. ”

Luo Yuan said with a smile: "In this drama, I can make additional investment, and someone will talk to someone from Yindu Media afterwards, and I can also come forward to persuade the actors." ”

"Is Director Luo very confident in this drama......

Chen Jie didn't expect Luo Yuan to be so refreshing, so refreshing that the rhetoric he had prepared was useless.

"I've always had a lot of faith in my script. ”

Luo Yuan smiled and said: "The specific matters can be discussed again, Director Chen just needs to shoot this drama well." ”

Chen Jie was stunned.

Probably two years ago, others would trust him so much, and after experiencing too much warmth and coldness, Chen Jie didn't expect that Luo Yuan, who was unknown and masked, would be willing to give such support......

"Thank you, Director Luo!"

Standing up, Chen Jie said very solemnly.

Luo Yuan waved his hand: "Although we met for the first time, I have seen your work, this is the basis of trust, and I believe that our future cooperation is not just this TV series." ”

"Good!"

Chen Jie was so excited for a while that he almost couldn't help blurting out that I wanted to join Crimson, but in the end he held back.
