"Jin Gongzi actually wants to make a movie?"

Zhou Zhen nodded and said with a smile: "Many movies nowadays are shoddy, and there are no movies to watch, so I am in a hurry, so I want to shoot them myself." This is my personal hobby, and if it weren't for the sake of making movies, I wouldn't have come to the magic capital. ”

Huang Jinrong said with a smile: "Filming a movie and looking for Boss Huang is the right person, whether it is people, venues, or equipment, including screenings, he can have it all here." ”

Zhou Zhen smiled: "Since it is a personal hobby, of course, it is fun to do it yourself." I came to shoot the movie myself, and I came to Boss Huang for help when it was screened. However, I have another plan and want to cooperate with Boss Huang. ”

Huang Chujiu said with a smile: "Jin Gongzi has orders, and the old man will do his best." ”

Golden Velvet's wife came over and said with a smile: "Mrs. Jin wants to go to the theater after eating, why don't you serve the food now?" ”

The two glanced at Zhou Zhen, and Zhou Zhen smiled: "Naturally, it is mainly based on the opinions of ladies, and we men can do anything." ”

Golden Velvet laughed and said, "Didn't you think that Jin Gongzi was also afraid of guilt? ”

Zhou Zhen said: "It's not fear, it's love." Wife, isn't it just a pet ......"

Golden velvet slapped the face. "Well said, this is love, not fear!"

Huang Chujiu immediately ordered the service personnel who were guarding the side. "Tell me to go down and serve the food quickly."

After arranging it, Zhou Zhen stretched out his hand and said to An Changquan: "Uncle An, give it to me." ”

An Changquan handed over Zhou Zhen's leather bag, Zhou Zhen opened it, took out the plan he had written, and handed it to Huang Chujiu. "I want to hold a Miss Magic City beauty contest and form a charity contest, this is the plan."

Huang Chujiu took the handwritten plan and read it carefully.

Golden Velvet was very interested and asked, "Beauty pageant?" How to choose? Do you choose an Oiran as usual? How can it become charity? ”

Beauty contests have a long history, and in ancient times, the Oiran would be chosen every year in the Qinglou.

There have also been beauty contests in the magic capital over the years, but the targets of the selection are all in the green building, the theater, and the selection from famous prostitutes and artists.

Parents of decent families will not let their daughters come out and show their heads.

Zhou Zhen said: "The purpose of Miss Modu's beauty pageant is to explore truth, goodness and beauty, and all objects must not only be beautiful, but also talented.

We can adopt a ticketing system for the preliminaries, preliminaries, and finals, and give back half of the ticket money collected to the society.

Moreover, the top few selected, we can sign contracts. Whether you want to sing, act in a movie, or receive a bonus, we can support it. ”

Golden Velvet groaned for a while, hehe smiled: "Jin Gongzi, this is a harem, right......?"

Zhou Zhen shook his head with a smile and sighed, "If it's just to find a woman for yourself, can you use such fanfare?" Since you want to do it, you have to make a reputation, which can be a long stream! ”

Huang Chujiu had already seen the first one, put it on the table, and picked it up and looked at it.

At this glance, the sneer on his face faded.

Zhou Zhen's plan is similar to the rules of beauty pageants in later generations, except that there is no TV broadcast, in this era, it is a very complete plan.

Both of them are old rivers and lakes, and as soon as they look inside, they can know that this plan is not just for pickling girls, but for creating new stars.

From the initial publicity, to the competition process, to the later branding, there is a perfect plan.

I have to say, it's a very well-developed plan.

If you follow this rule, you will definitely be able to choose a more influential Oiran, and in the later stage, you will also be able to attract women from good families to compete.

Huang Chujiu suspected that this plan was not taken out by Zhou Zhen, how could a young man in his teens have such advanced and meticulous thinking?

When the dishes came up, Zhou Zhen chatted with several women while eating, and Golden Velvet's wife was his nobleman, supporting him all the way from a gangster to a generation of tycoons.

This woman's communication skills are quite good, and she quickly coaxed several women into laughing.

As for Huang Chujiu and Huang Jinrong, the two of them were unwilling to eat, and kept staring at Zhou Zhen's manuscript.

After the meal, several women went to the show together, and Zhou Zhen and they also moved to the acrobatic field to watch the performance.

However, except for Zhou Zhen, the other two people are not interested in the show and have been studying Zhou Zhen's plan.

Both of them were full of interest in this plan, perhaps they were not interested in this plan, but only interested in him, the prime minister's son.

But Zhou Zhen didn't care, as long as they could use it for themselves.

The three of them discussed for a night, and it was not until ten o'clock that the acrobatic field ended, and then they made another appointment for the negotiation.

On the evening of the fourth day after arriving in the magic capital, in the largest western restaurant in the big world, Zhou Zhen held a dance party in the name of his father, which was not large-scale, but absolutely high-level.

People from all walks of life in the magic capital published Zhou Zhen's news in the newspaper.

Although Zhou Zhen used his father's name, in this era, everyone is accustomed to this kind of thing.

The news that Zhou Zhen was going to start a film company was also spread by Golden Velvet, and from the next day, many dancers recommended themselves and found the film company.

Zhou Zhen also wants to find a heroine for the road angel, his former lover Qiu Xizhen, although beautiful, is relatively bright, not in line with the image of the heroine of the movie, and can only be a supporting role.

After discussion, the three of them determined the rights and interests of the beauty pageant.

Zhou Zhen planned and occupied the name of the president.

Huang Chujiu went out of the venue and took up the position of vice president.

Golden Velvet is responsible for the money, security, and also occupies the position of vice president.

This organizing committee will become a fixed body, and the beauty contest will be held once a year, and half of the proceeds will be used to pay various expenses and pay bonuses.

The other half of the expenses will be donated after the expenses are made public, and none of the three will make a penny from it.

All three are seeking fame, not wealth.

The two Huang bosses are even more in order to carry the village for Zhou Zhen, the prime minister's son, at least in the first few years, they will not break the contract.

In this era, there were not many sponsors and there was a lack of media broadcasts.

However, in previous Oiran competitions, the organizers have also been able to make a lot of money.

This is mainly because in addition to the ticket money, there is also a big part of the on-site flowers, the previous Oiran Contest, a flower two silver dollars, those rich people in order to support their good friends, are hundreds, or even thousands of flowers.

This income is much higher than the ticket price.

In addition to agreeing on the procedure of the beauty contest, Zhou Zhen also landed a big benefit, that is, Huang Chujiu sold his Big World Film Company half sold and half gave away to Zhou Zhen.

His film company, although not very large, is a full-fledged, well-functioning film company.

There are more than 20 people in the company, cameramen, directors, and assistants.

There are many dancers under him, and the profit of the film company has always been good, but this time, he fell into a big favor in front of Zhou Zhen.

A week after arriving in the magic capital, Jin Rong accompanied Ouyang's mother and son to the magic capital.

An Changquan bought a small building for Ouyang's mother and son not far from his residence, this small building is naturally much smaller, but it is also in the French Concession, and it is still a single family.

Not only Ouyang's mother and son, but even a few comrades he brought with him could live there.

Zhou Zhen also arranged a maid for them, and took the initiative to bear the cost of this maid.

He didn't know how much Jin Quan had compensated them, but since he wanted to make a revolution, no amount of money was too much.

Zhou Zhen didn't have much affection for Mrs. Jin Quan's parents, and ran to the magic capital, mainly to avoid them and other siblings.

has no feelings for this underground brother.

He's just a test piece for himself.

Anyway, Zhou Zhen is to create a good environment for them, and as for how far they can develop, it depends on themselves.

After being busy for more than half a month, Zhou Zhen was able to socialize all aspects in place, and he was happy to prepare for filming.

After coming into contact with the cameras of this era, Zhou Zhen knew that today's cameras are really too backward, not that some technologies are not usable, but the conditions are really not allowed.

Today's cameras only have the simplest shooting and capture functions, let alone pushing and pulling the lens, and even a horizontal movement will cause the captured image to be spent.

So when shooting, the camera can't move at all, so you have to take a fixed shooting mode.

However, Zhou Zhen also has a solution, which is to find a skilled carpenter to make a support frame that can be telescopic and rotate.

When shooting, the camera does not move, and the wooden frame is rotated, and the shooting can be moved horizontally.

As for the push-pull shot, it would be best to make a track, but it hasn't been made yet.

From the formation of the crew, Zhou Zhen adopted the model of later generations, he personally served as a producer and adopted a budget system.

From the very beginning, each expense was determined, and a full-time team was formed from the beginning to clarify the division of labor.

The makeup is an experienced dancer from the Shinsegae Cabaret, the costume is a tailor shop, and as for the props, there is no such condition at the moment, so I can only cope with it.

Then it's time to recruit actors......

There were a lot of applicants who came to apply, and dozens of beautiful dancers from the new world came at once.

However, most of them, like Qiu Xizhen, do not quite fit the protagonist image of a weak woman.

As for the original heroine Zhou Xuan, Zhou Zhen remembered that she was born in 20 years and is only one year old this year......

After three days of audition, Liu Zhishen, who played the male lead, introduced a seventeen-year-old girl in their troupe who was favored by Zhou Zhen.

This girl named Sun Cimei has a soft and rigid appearance, a delicate appearance, and a standard screen face.

And she has been practicing basic skills in the drama troupe since she was a child, whether it is lines, image, or action, they all meet the requirements.

Zhou Zhen helped her change her name to Sun Cimei, and gave the owner of the troupe two hundred silver dollars, bought her contract, and signed a five-year contract with her.

During the contract, she earned 20 silver dollars a month, and there was an additional bonus for each movie she participated in.

This income is a high salary among ordinary people, but it is not high for an actor, after all, Zhou Zhen also spent two hundred silver dollars to buy her.

And the five-year contract is very low, and many actors are signed for 20 years.

She used to be in the drama troupe, and she suffered hardships every day, only five silver dollars a month.

The heroine was in place, and the movie soon began shooting.
