At eleven o'clock the next morning, when Chen Yongren set foot on the land of Beijing again, he couldn't help but sigh that creation made people, in his previous life, he finally hung up on New Year's Eve in Beijing.

When I got out of the airport, I called Li Hui: "Hey Huizi, I'm here, where are you", "Boss, I just arrived in the parking lot, where are you waiting first, I'll pick you up now"

After a while, I saw Li Hui, who was still dressed as usual and angry, driving a Ferrari over, "It's okay, you kid, this beauty changes every day, and the car changes every day."

"Low-key and low-key, walking the rivers and lakes always has to be a little noodle, hehe, first get in the car and have a meal for you, by the way, introduce a film and television company boss to you, and then go to the hotel.

After arriving at the hotel private room, Chen Yongren found that a middle-aged man with an extraordinary temperament was already waiting in the private room, only to hear Li Hui say, "The boss will introduce you, this is Mr. Chen Daqi, the chairman of Beijing Film and Television Co., Ltd., Uncle Chen and my father are good friends, and they happen to run a film and television company, don't you say that you have written a good book, so I will introduce you to each other."

"Chen Donghao, my name is Chen Yongren, it's a pleasure to meet you, and you are still my family," Chen Yongren said

"No need to introduce, your name has long been heard from Ah Hui, this kid told me, I will call you Yongren, you can call me Uncle Chen like Ah Hui. This kid called me in the past two days and said that you wrote a good script for me to come over and check it, I didn't take it seriously, but I can't help this kid keeps talking, so I'm looking forward to your script."

"Uncle Chen laughed, the script has just been written and he hasn't seen it, so it's just nonsense, but I still have some confidence in the script I wrote, so I'll give you some advice" After speaking, Chen Yongren took out the script from his bag and handed it to Chen Daqi

Chen Daqi took the script and read it, the more he looked at it, the more surprised he became, just this storyboard script can be used as a model in the film school, the plot is so good, it was very enjoyable to watch, and he said, "Yongren, you really wrote this script?" Don't get me wrong, I'm just a little surprised, I didn't take Ah Hui's words seriously, I just couldn't help him grinding his mouth in his ears every day, so I accompanied him to take a look, after reading the script, I found out that I was wrong, your script is not only good, just the skill of this storyboard script is something that ordinary people can have, I have a hunch that once this film is filmed, it will definitely explode, and it will be a big hit" After all, Chen Daqi is an expert who has been engaged in the film and television industry for many years, and he knows that there is a head when he looks at the script.

"Thank you Uncle Chen for your praise, in fact, the script has been conceived for a long time, but these days, the creation of the script has been completed, and I didn't just fly to Beijing to attract investment, I don't know if Uncle Chen is interested in investing"

Keiko looked at him chatting happily and said, "Hey, I said, can you two eat first and then chat, if you don't eat, the food will be cold."

Hahaha Chen Yongren and Chen Daqi looked at each other and smiled, Chen Daqi said, "Yongren, I voted for this movie, and I told me how much money I lacked, but let's finish eating first, and then talk back to my office after eating."

After eating, Chen Yongren and Chen Daqi returned to his company, sitting in Chen Daqi's office, Chen Daqi said, "Yongren, what is the budget for this movie, and you have no choice for the actors and directors"

"The initial budget for the investment amount of this film is about 60 million, and the actors haven't thought about it yet, the director is me, I learned this, and I have been preparing for so long, I believe in my own ability, and this movie will definitely succeed," Chen Yongren replied

Listening to Chen Yongren's investment budget, Chen Daqi gasped, you must know that the highest production cost of Huayu Film is only 180 million plus the publicity and distribution cost is about 20 or 30 million, this is already a blockbuster production, this is still Zhang Yimou's movie. As soon as Chen Yongren opened his mouth, it was still a preliminary budget of 60 million, and he directly quadrupled the production fee of Chinese films. So he said: "Yongren, it's good for young people to have self-confidence, but have you ever understood how much my country's film production costs are at present? Your opening is 60 million, which is not low, it's not that I can't believe you, for Ah Hui's sake, even if I lose it, I will vote, but I want to know where your confidence comes from, you must know that if you fail, you will be difficult to mix in this industry, you are betting on your future."

Chen Yongren thought about it, although he knew that this movie would be a hit, but no one believed it, so he could only say, "Uncle Chen, you also read the script, some special effects of the movie are still very expensive, and this movie will be a work of excellence, I hope to make an influential work, so that the world can see that our Chinese films can also make excellent commercial blockbusters." Personally, I am very optimistic about this movie, after all, it is my first work, and this work is also a project that I have worked out in the past few years. As for the amount of investment, now Hollywood's production costs have exceeded this figure as early as the last century, and our Chinese entertainment films are always making a small fuss, how to catch up with and surpass Hollywood?

After listening to Chen Yongren's passionate words, Chen Daqi, who was infected by Chen Yongren's pride and ambition, said, "Yongren, I didn't expect you to have such ideals at such a young age, so energetic for you, you Uncle Chen, I will accompany you to let go and do a big job, for so many years, our Chinese movies have always been inferior in front of Hollywood movies, this time we also want to impress them, I voted for this movie for 60 million." Although he was infected by Chen Yongren's ambition, it was more based on the fact that the script was good enough, plus he himself was a film practitioner and had long wanted to see the rise of Chinese films.

"I'm out of the 60 million for the film production cost, and we'll make 73 cents of the movie profit, what do you think?" Chen Daqi continued.

Chen Yongren didn't say a word, so he said, "Okay, Uncle Chen, you are applying for a movie shooting permit, by the way, prepare the crew, and the staff will find it, I'll go back here to see which actors are suitable and then contact you, let's divide into two ways, and start the film when the actors are found." After all, for him, a newcomer director who has just graduated, it is already very good to get a film share, and this is only the first movie, the most important thing now is to accumulate capital and fame, money is not a problem to consider at present, so Chen Yongren immediately signed a contract with Chen Daqi.

"The most important thing in my company is people, you have found the actors, and then tell me, everything is ready to start filming immediately, I can't wait to see this movie released now, as for the rest of the crew, I will help you get it done" Chen Daqi's company is a film production company, and he hasn't signed many artists, so he doesn't have any ideas about the actors, so let Chen Yongren find it first.

Listening to Chen Daqi's words, Chen Yongren sighed that there were really people who were easy to do, and said, "That's okay, then I'll go back to the hotel first, and strive to confirm the actor as soon as possible, and then contact you when I'm done."

Having said that, Li Hui originally asked Chen Yongren to stay with him, but Chen Yongren felt inconvenient, so he stayed in the hotel here. When he returned to the hotel, Chen Yongren began to think about who to play the role in the play, whether it was the original team or a new one.

After thinking about it for a long time, he decided that the first part should be stable or according to the original actors, so he called Chen Daqi and asked him to send audition invitations to these actors. Although the current mainland film market is still very small, people with vision can see the huge potential of this market in the future. So within a few days, those who received the invitation to audition for the main roles have all come to Beijing.

……

Toot toot, Chen Yongren, who had been busy sleeping for several days, heard the phone ringing, and looked at it was Chen Daqi calling, so he answered, "Uncle Chen, is there something wrong?"

"Yongin is still early, it's almost noon and I haven't gotten up yet, don't all the actors you asked me to find have arrived, just waiting for you, the director, to come"

When Chen Yongren heard this, he instantly became much more energetic, "I've been too busy these days, just make up for sleep, where are you Uncle Chen, I'll go over now"

"Don't be in a hurry, we just arrived at the hotel, it's the hotel that Ah Hui brought you to last time, I just finished ordering, you can eat when you come"

After Chen Yongren finished washing, he rushed over, and when he arrived at the private room, he was still a little excited to see several superstars who were untouchable in his previous life.

Chen Daqi said, "Let me introduce to you, this is our director Chen Yongren, come to Yongren to sit on my side, just after the meal was served"

After Chen Yongren sat down, he said, "Brother Hua, Super Viagra, Sister Bingbing, Brother Zhiwen, Brother Hong Lei, let everyone wait for a long time, I will punish myself for three cups." I am very much looking forward to cooperating with all of you, and I hope that we will work together to make this "Infernal Affairs" a classic that will be passed down to the world."

Hong Lei was the first to speak, "I didn't expect Director Chen to be so young and promising, I didn't believe it when I heard Chen Dong say at first, but after seeing the real person, I knew that there was really a genius in this world, and this script is the best I have seen so far, but the director, you are a little unparticular about the role arranged for me is the boss of the underworld, I think I am more suitable to play the decent"

Chen Yongren smiled and said, "Thank you Brother Hong Lei for your praise, the script is good and the actors are good to interpret it perfectly, Han Chen's role is difficult to perform, so Brother Hong Lei came to challenge, how can the ordinary small role be taken" That's right, Han Chen's actor is Sun Honglei, after all, the public is very impressed by Liu Huaqiang, and others also smiled.

Chen Yongren's version of "Infernal Affairs" is similar to the original version, but some actors have changed, such as Han Chen played by Sun Honglei, Huang Zhicheng played by Wang Zhiwen, psychiatrist Li Xiner played by Li Bingbing, and the teenager Chen Yongren made a cameo by himself, and the other role players and the original version are basically unchanged.

Everyone chatted about the script while eating, after all, only by being familiar with the script and understanding the characters can they be perfectly interpreted, and some small problems in the script were also improved in the process of chatting.

After a full meal, the movie was almost discussed, and finally the start-up conference was scheduled for September 1st.
