Chapter Eighty-Nine: Preparations Before the Knockout Round

Jia Nanren's efficiency is very high, and he actually completed the company's decoration before the Lantern Festival.

In the end, it is the eldest young master of the real estate company, and it is really difficult to decorate this little thing.

And Qin Yan finally didn't have to nest in a corner of the studio, he had his own office again, and it was several times more spacious and luxurious than before.

Xiao Hong has also recruited a lot of people from outside during this time, from the front desk to management, but there are no artists.

Come to think of it, it's just a newly established entertainment company, even graduates of film and television schools will most likely not choose it.

However, Xiao Hong is still trying to find it, after all, artists are the foundation of an entertainment company, and many jobs cannot be carried out without artists.

Yu Fei was also a lot busier.

Because of the explosion of the two songs, her popularity has increased recently, and all kinds of announcements and endorsements have come to her door at once, and Yu Fei, who has been very short of money recently, has not refused to come, and basically has a full schedule.

Qin Yan, the script of the magic revision of "Big Fish and Begonia", has been written, and the animation film and television department transformed by the studio is stepping up production.

Since Qin Yan's rewritten script took into account the previous CG picture of "The Legend of the Mermaid" as much as possible, the amount of modification in the preliminary work was not large, and basically you could continue to shoot after replacing the character modeling.

In the next few days, Qin Yan's "Polluted World" participating in the "Young Director Competition" is still very good, and the number of votes has exceeded 2 million.

However, although the results were good, they fell to second place.

A work called "Blue Star of Doom" has sprung up and occupied the first position by a narrow margin.

Qin Yan clicked on this film and found that it was really good, far from being comparable to other shoddy works.

What's more, there are several third-tier stars in the cast of this "Doomsday Blue Star", and it seems that this director is also not short of money.

After looking at the director's name again, Qin Yan suddenly smiled.

The director's name is Mu Jie, and he is also a student of Jingying, but one year lower than Qin Yan. When he was in school, Mu Jie once participated in the National College Student Short Video Contest with him, but his results were beaten by Qin Yan all the way.

Mu Jie, who was not convinced, tried to compete with Qin Yan on other occasions a few times, but still did not win once, so Mu Jie always looked at Qin Yan unpleasantly.

Of course, there is another reason why Mu Jie hates Qin Yan so much, that is, Mu Jie likes Xiao Muyu, and Qin Yan was very close to Xiao Muyu at that time, so he regarded Qin Yan as a rival.

This time, Mu Jie won Qin Yan in the qualifiers, and he should be very excited now.

The two have fought openly and secretly so many times, and this is the first time that Mu Jie has gained the upper hand.

……

It's another week in the blink of an eye, and the results of the first phase of the Young Director Competition are finally out.

Qin Yan still failed to overtake, and finally advanced to the knockout round with a second place.

But this achievement is already very satisfying for him, after all, it is just an animated short film that has been improvised pieced together.

At the same time as the qualifiers are over, the topic of the knockout round has also come out, called "Memories of Youth".

Qin Yan had plenty of time to prepare this time, he planned to fight for the first place, and at the same time told Mu Jie, as long as I get serious, I can still easily beat you.

The matter of the script naturally couldn't help Qin Yan, he only took half a day to write it, a youth nostalgia theme with a duration of less than 50 minutes.

After the script is completed, the next step is to prepare the crew.

The newly established Magic Shadow Media is still seriously short of people in this regard, but fortunately, it is also a film and television company, and there are people to undertake all aspects of work.

Qin Yan himself is the director, responsible for the filming of film and television dramas, and the actors can let Xiao Hong help find them, as for the other departments of the crew, such as photography, props, art, dubbing, etc., then leave it to Jia Nanren to handle it.

Just like when he shot a short video at school, Qin Yan was also in charge of shooting, and all the logistics were handed over to the fat man.

At noon, the three of them met and discussed specific matters.

Xiao Hong looked at the script handed over by Qin Yan seriously, and said: "Recently, I am preparing to sign a few young actors, and when the time comes, I can let them show their faces in your movie, you see that there are suitable roles and try to arrange your own people." However, I can't find a suitable candidate for these two male protagonists for a while, in his thirties, and he still has acting skills, which has a lot of candidates in the circle, but most of them are actors who have been famous for many years, and people don't look down on you for a short movie with an investment of only hundreds of thousands and can't be released in the cinema. And you have a few scenes here that require big-name celebrities to make guest appearances, and this is not easy to find......"

Listening to Xiao Hong's difficulties, Qin Yan also began to have a headache.

Making a movie is easy to say, but it's all a problem.

"I'm looking for the actor myself, but I can't do it, so I can only pick it up in the group performance. Fatty, you also ask your group leader friend to help out and see if there is a suitable one. Qin Yan said.

Jia Nanren nodded and agreed: "Okay, I'll call him later, and Brother Yan, you also use a lot of group performances in this film, and my friend can also help with this." As for the shooting location, it's simple, find a high school around, sponsor a 180,000 stipend, and want to come to the school and be willing to cooperate with us. ”

"You can take care of all this mess, a week of preparation time is enough, right?"

"Enough, I promise that it won't be delayed."

"Okay, if nothing else, the movie will start in a week."

Finalize the matter, and the three of them leave.

Qin Yan drove home on the way, but his face was sad.

It's just a short film for competitions, and he can't invest too much money, so many of his favorite artists can't use it.

And he himself is now unknown, and he will not be like a well-known director, and there are many artists who don't need money to play in his plays, so it is undoubtedly difficult to find a satisfactory actor without spending money.

Entering the community, Qin Yan suddenly saw a familiar figure when he passed by the community square.

Isn't this Liu Feng who I haven't seen for a long time!

Qin Yan stopped, got out of the car and walked over.

At this moment, Liu Feng was arguing with a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, and the two seemed to be obviously unable to convince anyone.

"Brother Liu, how do you live here?" Qin Yan got out of the car and asked.

Liu Feng was overjoyed when he saw Qin Yan and gave him a hug excitedly.

"Haha, Brother Qin hasn't seen you for a long time. I'll live here, could it be that you are too? Liu Feng said happily.

"Coincidentally, I live in B2."

"I live in G3, but I didn't expect us to be neighbors, you said this is a trouble. But we haven't seen each other for a long time, and you kid said to go, but it's very chic, but I didn't know about it for a long time. Liu Feng scolded with a smile.

He was a little disheartened after losing the Golden Rooster Award and didn't go to the company for a long time. Later, when he went back, Qin Yan had already left the company.

Qin Yan also smiled and said: "Cut, I heard that Jiang Yan's bastard has posted all the notices of expulsion from me all over the company, and there is anyone else in Shengtian who doesn't know about my resignation?" ”

"You, ......, don't talk about these spoilers. Come, let me introduce you, I am my daughter Liu Yan. Yanyan, come over and say hello to your uncle. Liu Feng pulled the little girl behind him and said.

It's just that as soon as he said this, Qin Yan and the little girl named Liu Yan were stunned.

Uncle?
