Chapter 322: Director's Heart
"Little boss, your new look is really ...... Handsome. β
After a moment of consternation, Yan's mother finally spoke.
And probably felt that his turn was too blunt, Yan's mother immediately introduced the middle-aged handsome guy next to him to Chen Mo: "Little boss, this is director Jiang Shibin, Director Jiang is good at shooting costume film and television dramas, such as the "Dahan Lingyan Pavilion" five years ago, which satisfied both professionals and ordinary audiences, and "White Robe", which successfully created a global box office of 1.3 billion last year, and the chief director is Director Jiang. β
Although Chen Mo actually has no idea what the content of the two film and television dramas "Dahan Lingyan Pavilion" and "White Robe" is, the director of the film that can create a box office of 1.3 billion should have some ability.
What's more, Yan Ma also emphasized this Jiang Shibin and Jiang Dao, and met the needs of professionals and ordinary audiences at the same time.
The so-called professionals are also insiders, and this part of the people is basically unlikely to be confused by the appearance of bells and whistles when looking at things in the industry, and they are placed on historical film and television works, and the main concern in this part is whether the lines, allusions, props, words and deeds, etc. of the work have been crossed.
Ordinary audiences, it's mainly to watch a lively scene, everyone works hard during the day and pretends to be grandchildren for life, so most people watch a film in their spare time, mainly to empathize with the cool - at least the purpose of most audiences watching film and television works is definitely for leisure and entertainment, not to find abuse.
"Hello Director Jiang, it's an honor to meet you."
Because he felt that Jiang Shibin should be worthy of his name, Chen Mo took the initiative to greet the other party first.
"Actually, I should be the one who is honored. Xiao Hei, your name has long been like thunder to me, and my family's unsuccessful dog mini fan can't do it. So my photos in my house now don't have as many posters as you areβ"
Facing Chen Mo's initiative to greet him. Jiang Shibin, who was originally not smiling, stood up and responded with a smile like Maitreya Buddha.
"Director Jiang, in fact, I don't want this kind of thing."
Chen Mo was a little embarrassed to be said.
"It's okay! Young people have an idol to worship, which is actually a good thing in my opinion, of course, I mean an idol with a positive image like Xiao Hei you, so what is that...... Blackie, can you write me an autograph? I'll take it back and educate my dog. β
Jiang Shibin hurriedly waved his hand, and then he took out a notebook and a signature pen.
With such a gesture, Chen Mo would not refuse, and after asking the name of Jiang Shibin's son. He wrote a message to himself.
Chen Mo wrote - "Young man, work hard, because your future journey will be the stars and the sea." β
"I didn't expect you to be funny, thank you!"
Jiang Shibin blew Chen Mo's handwritten message, which had not yet dried, and then solemnly put it back into the briefcase he was carrying.
Seeing that the first meeting and exchange between the two was almost completed, Yan's mother introduced Ji Yanran and Jiang Shibin to know each other.
"Is that this little girl?"
After listening to Yan's mother's introduction to Ji Yanran, Jiang Shibin turned his head to look at her.
"Yes, that's her."
Yan's mother nodded.
Jiang Shibin, who received an affirmative answer, didn't even say a word of polite greetings. looked directly at Chen Mo again: "Xiao Hei, can you let me see your detailed script first?" β
This requirement will naturally be satisfied, since the other party is likely to become the director of this "Garan Rain", then let the other party read the script before cooperating. It's a matter of course.
Even Chen Mo had taken this into account, and before rushing over, he made a special detour back to his home to pick up the adjusted script of "Jia Lan Rain" that was only updated at noon.
Jiang Shibin read the script very quickly. It only took less than an hour to read the entire script.
"Follow the settings in the script. If this little girl plays the heroine, then it should be quite suitable in terms of basic image. But other aspects...... Well, why don't we test it a little bit? β
After finally putting down the script, Jiang Shibin looked Ji Yanran up and down, and finally said such a thing.
"Test it? Test it right here? β
Yan's mother was caught off guard.
"What to measure?"
Chen Mo didn't understand it.
"What else can be measured, of course, is to measure this little girl's voice table."
Jiang Shibin replied as a matter of course.
However, although he claimed to test Ji Yanran's voice table, after Ji Yanran eagerly said that he could test it casually, Jiang Shibin only extracted a small plot from the script of "Jia Lan Rain" provided by Chen Mo and asked Ji Yanran to complete the interpretation of the plot as the heroine.
That short plot is about the first encounter between the hero and heroine.
In the plot setting, although the male protagonist is a member of the royal family and has the status of a Praetorian Guard officer, because he is small and weak and reads poetry and books, his hand-to-hand combat ability is slightly stronger than that of an unrestrained chicken.
And the heroine, although she looks pitiful, is actually a female thief with martial arts and a very romantic behavior of robbing the rich and helping the poor.
So, a female thief failed to steal and was chased and beaten, and was regarded by the idle male protagonist as an insult to a woman under the blue sky and bright daylight, and this young man who had read too much was indignant and killed the hero to save the beauty.
It's a pity that the kung fu is not good, and he was beaten into a pig's head in an instant, and if it wasn't for the female thief to rescue him, he might have been beaten to death.
So if you don't fight, you don't know each other, and the hero and heroine know each other like this, and they secretly have feelings for each other.
This subverts the plot of a normal hero saving beauty, at least Jiang Shibin thinks the design is quite good, but he doesn't think it's strange, after all, the person who wrote this script himself is Chen Molai.
As an insider, how could Jiang Shibin not know that Chen Mo has achieved great achievements and fame in screenwriting now?
"But I can't play this scene alone."
After confirming the question given to him by Jiang Shibin, Ji Yanran raised an objection.
"I want a male protagonist and two evil slaves who fight with people...... Mmmm, at least four people together. can be acted! β
Ji Yanran, who counted the heads with her fingers, finally made such a request.
"Yo-heh. The requirements are still detailed. Jiang Shibin probably met an audition actor who dared to make such a condition to him for the first time, so he was amused by Ji Yanran's cute finger wrenching: "It's good." There are four people in our room, and you can assign them. β
"Then I'll be assigned!"
Ji Yanran, who has never auditioned, shows that the appearance she shows must be said that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers.
"You're welcome, you can share it."
Jiang Shibin said half jokingly, half encouragingly.
Chen Mo couldn't stand it a little, and then he was a little ashamed - Chen Mo felt that Ji Yanran, a girl, was almost already cultivated by him to be completely unsophisticated.
"Then trouble Director Jiang and Yan's mother, you two, make a little cameo appearance to hunt down the heroine's evil slave. Fake uncle. The good role of the actor belongs to you! β
Ji Yanran didn't care about the rest, since Jiang Shibin had already told her to be polite, how could this girl still be polite?
"Hey, this is too blatant, if I were twenty years younger, little girl, I'll let me go home now and wait for you to be informed, believe it or not?"
Jiang Shibin was amused on the spot again.
"Oh, Director Jiang, you are so old, and it is normal for you to occasionally sacrifice for art. And. It is very happy to bring up the younger generations, even at the age of the fake uncle, he wrote poems saying that it is not a ruthless thing to be red, and it is more protective of flowers when turned into spring mud! Director Jiang, you are so easy to speak. At first glance, it's not you, it's definitely not a ruthless thing! β
Ji Yanran grimaced at Jiang Shibin, and the little smugness in her heart was almost overflowing.
"Hey !!"
Jiang Shibin was about to laugh angrily.
"Alright, that's it. Little girl, you don't have to perform. β
After all, Jiang Shibin, who didn't hold back and was happy, did not turn into a cameo slave in Chunni. He ruthlessly stopped Ji Yanran.
"Director Jiang, why don't I have to perform? Don't...... Do you want to play the unspoken rules too?! Ji Yanran immediately hid behind Chen Mo's back. After hiding it, she poked out half of her head again and said, "Director Jiang, I misjudged you!" But don't try to succeed, the fake uncle will protect me! β
"What kind of nonsense, do you think I look like someone who can play some unspoken rules?"
Jiang Shibin was speechless.
"Well......" Ji Yanran still poked half of her head, and after she carefully went up and down to Jiang Shibin, she said with great certainty: "Super similar!" β
"Poofβ"
Originally, Chen Mo, who was just listening quietly, but resolutely did not speak, finally couldn't collapse.
The same is true of Yan's mother next to her, she really didn't know that Ji Yanran could be so cute.
"Well, I'll just emphasize two points. First, I am very decent and never have unspoken rules; Second, I won't let you perform, it's not that I don't want to be a spring mud, but because you have passed my assessment. In other words, to put it simply and directly, that is-little girl, the heroine of this play, it's yours! β
Jiang Shibin's expression became capitalized helplessness, so he could only decisively give up being funny with Ji Yanran, but became very formal.
"Yay!!"
Ji Yanran immediately cheered, after all, Chen Mo had already told her before coming here, and she also knew very well that if she couldn't satisfy the director, then she would only be able to play a role other than the heroine.
"Xiao Hei, I'm very interested in this book, and I'm sure no one will be able to shoot this book with the effect you want except me, so ...... Please leave it to me to shoot! β
After confirming the position of Ji Yanran's heroine, Jiang Shibin moved his gaze to Chen Mo again.
Jiang Shibin, who said this, showed almost infinite strong self-confidence.
"The fake uncle said he was going to participate in the show too!"
Ji Yanran, who was sure of the heroine, said anxiously before Chen Mo made a confirmation.
If Chen Mo can't participate, then Ji Yanran will have to fulfill the "threat" and quit the filming of this movie.
"It couldn't be better! It saves me from talking nonsense! β
Jiang Shibin was overjoyed when he heard this.
It can be seen that Jiang Shibin seems to have planned to invite Chen Mo to participate in the movie, but because he has not yet finalized whether to direct it, he has not had time to say this.
"Director Jiang, please."
Chen Mo glanced at Yan's mother, and after seeing Yan's mother's almost imperceptible nodding movement, he made a final decision and stretched out his right hand to Jiang Shibin on behalf of the happy cooperation.
The two hands were clasped together.
So the ownership of the director of the big movie "Jia Lan Rain" was determined very smoothly.
Now that he has been confirmed to be the film director, Jiang Shibin has no intention of eating at all, and after asking Chen Mo to take away the script of "Jia Lan Rain" to study, and getting Chen Mo's nod and agreement, he hurriedly said goodbye and left.
Three days later, Jiang Shibin called Chen Mo's mobile phone, and when the phone was connected, he went straight to the topic and made a request-
"Xiao Hei, I have carefully studied the book, I think the investment in this movie needs to be at least 200 million to be enough, and when the funds are in place, we will go to Luoyang to build a film and television base, and at the same time complete the recruitment and closed basic training of the characters in the play, in addition, we also need to build a location in Liaodong......"
An investment of 200 million?
This number is a bit scary, so Chen Mo did not immediately agree, but called Yan's mother before making a decision.
There is still a month before the end of the year, and Chen Mo still doesn't know how much money Storm Audio-Visual Company has to use.
"200 million investment? Need to build two film and television bases? Little boss, there is no problem with investment, there is no problem with the 200 million company, but since it needs to spend a lot of money to build two film and television bases, why don't our company take more money out and build the two film and television bases on a larger scale, and simply make them into film and television cities? As far as I know, running a film and television city is actually quite profitable. β
After listening to Chen Mo's inquiry, Yan's mother gave Chen Mo such an answer.
Chen Mo, who makes money or not, doesn't really care, so he contacted Feng Zhinan, another major shareholder of Storm Audio-Visual Company.
For a problem like this in business decision-making, it's right to leave it to Miss Feng.
"Do a film and television city? Isn't this kind of new business supposed to be started sooner or later? And the most important thing is that Chen Mo has the absolute right to decide on the big and small affairs of Storm Audio-Visual Company, why do you still want to ask me? β
Feng Zhinan threw this question back to Chen Mo, she didn't want to bother with this idle matter, and she was not a superwoman with endless energy.
In that case, then ...... Hello.
With this thought, Chen Mo gave affirmative answers to Yan Ma and Jiang Shibin respectively.
"Xiao Hei, with your level of support, I dare to give you a military warrant - if I can't shoot the book "Jia Lan Rain", I will quit the directorial world!" (To be continued.) )
