The price of goods in a small county town is not high, and 2 million is enough to do a lot of things.

Before leaving home, Fang Bo accompanied his parents to see the new house, and chose a finely decorated house of more than 100 square meters, and the selling price was only more than 1 million, which is much cheaper than big cities such as Yanjing and Shanghai.

Then I chose an ordinary car of 200,000 yuan for my parents' daily travel, and the previous van was not sold, so I stayed to transport goods.

There is still some money left, Fang's father and Fang's mother are discussing and preparing to renovate the noodle restaurant, they have been open for so many years, and the layout of the store has long been outdated and old, so it can be adjusted this time.

Because he made an appointment with Shen Zhuo, Fang Bo didn't stay at home for long, and after choosing a new house and a new car, he packed his luggage and said goodbye to his parents and got on the plane to Yanjing.

As for trivial matters such as moving and decorating the noodle restaurant, they can only be left to Fang's parents to deal with slowly in the future.

On August 13, after a month and a half, Fang Bo returned to Yanjing.

When he arrived, it was already afternoon, so he stayed in the hotel overnight with his luggage, and only changed into a formal suit the next morning, took the script and went to Huarui Film and Television.

……

14th, 9 a.m.

Yanjing, outside the office of the president of Huarui Film and Television.

"Knock knock."

"Come in."

The female secretary in professional attire knocked on the door of the office, and only pushed the door open after getting Shen Zhuo's reply, "Mr. Shen, Director Fang Bo has arrived." ”

Hearing this, Shen Zhuo, who was looking through the documents, raised his head and said, "Hurry up and invite Fang Dao in!" ”

As a sign of attention, he stood up as he spoke, and walked towards the door.

"Director Fang, please." The female secretary walked in with Fang Bo.

A few steps away, Shen Zhuo stretched out his right hand and said with a smile on his face: "Director Fang, it's been a long time, but you're still as handsome as ever." ”

Shen Zhuo gave face like this, and took the initiative to greet the door, Fang Bo also politely took two steps quickly, stretched out his hand to shake him, and said politely: "Mr. Shen has won the award." ”

Because of the 2 million incident, the two are not only a cooperative relationship, but also a personal friendship, and they are a lot closer when they meet again.

What's more, Shen Zhuo also intended to befriend Fang Bo, he didn't want to make the scene too serious, and wanted to create an atmosphere of conversation between friends, so he joked: "Eh, Director Fang, you can be modest in everything else, but your appearance is not modest." Seriously, your appearance is not inferior to many idol stars. Isn't it, Secretary Zhang? ”

The female secretary on the side smiled and agreed: "Mr. Shen is right. ”

"Mr. Shen, don't make fun of me." Fang Bo smiled and shook his head.

"Hahaha." Shen Zhuo smiled happily, "Come on, come on, sit here." ”

Fang Bo followed him, and the two of them came to the reception area on the side of the office, and sat down on two sofa chairs opposite each other through a small coffee table.

"Secretary Zhang, you go out first." Shen Zhuo said to the female secretary.

"Okay, Mr. Shen." The secretary turned to leave, leaving a quiet and private environment for the two of them.

Shen Zhuo didn't rush to talk about business, he personally made a pot of tea and poured a cup for Fang Bo, "Director Fang, come and taste the tea I bought a few days ago to see if it suits your taste." ”

Fang Bo picked up the teacup and took a shallow sip.

He didn't know much about tea, so he touched the taste, put down the teacup, and said truthfully: "I just think it's delicious, it's not astringent at all, it smells like tea, and I don't understand the rest." ”

Shen Zhuo smiled: "Haha, I'm just a vassal and elegant, in fact, if I really want to taste it, I can't taste anything good." ”

After the two exchanged a few polite words, Fang Bo took out a script from his backpack, "Mr. Shen, this is the script of the new movie, you can read it first." ”

"Okay, Director Fang, wait a moment, I'll take a look at it carefully." Shen Zhuo took the script and looked down.

Flipping through the cover of the script, the name of the movie is written on the first page.

"A Good Show"

His gaze lingered slightly on the name of the film, then he turned to the next page and carefully read the text of the script.

Although "Night Club" has received a good result of over 100 million at the box office, it is only Fang Bo's first work after all, and no one dares to play this package ticket whether the new movie can maintain its standard.

Now that tens of millions of investments are at stake, Shen Zhuo can't help but be more cautious, so he is extremely careful and serious when he reads the script, and he often has to raise his hand and turn the page after a while.

Seeing that Shen Zhuo was holding the script and reading it intently, Fang Bo didn't bother, and sat in his seat quietly thinking about some things about the movie.

chose "A Good Show" as his second work, and he also had some consideration.

In fact, after filming "Night Club", he also wanted to change and try some different film genres.

But his directorial career has just begun, and the results of "Night Club" are not enough for him to become a big director, and blind transformation is obviously irrational.

So after serious consideration, for the script of the second work, he chose a comedy again.

However, although they are both comedies, there are still differences between the two movies, compared with the simply funny "Night Club", "A Good Show" has more human nature to explore.

Although he doesn't think that purely commercial films are necessarily bad, being able to make some changes somewhat satisfies his desire to try different film genres.

In addition to this, there are many benefits to choosing to shoot "A Good Show".

For example, the difficulty of filming this movie will be more moderate, and the scale of investment is not very large, with a production cost of about 35 million, it will be easier to attract investment.

Of course, if you want to use 35 million to make a complete movie, it is certain to reduce the cost in terms of actors' salaries.

After all, this movie tells a series of stories that happened after the hero's group encountered a tsunami and ended up on a desert island, and there is a particularly important scene in it, which is a large ship stranded on the shore upside down.

There are many plots in the movie that need to be filmed on the island, but the transportation on the island is inconvenient, and there is no way to replicate a big ship at the shooting site, so it is necessary to build a scene in the studio, and in order to avoid goofs, a lot of special effects have to be added.

In this way, the cost of sets, shooting, and special effects alone is not low, and if you want to reduce production costs, the actors' salaries must not be too high.

Even if it is not like "Night Club", the main roles are all played by special actors, but the starring role of "A Good Show" can only be found in the second-tier actors.

During this time, Fang Bo already had some actors for the role, and when he was free at the moment, he thought about the future audition list and pondered which actors to audition for in the future.

In this way, Fang Bo was thinking about the actors, while Shen Zhuo read the script carefully, and the office became silent for a while.
