Chapter 66: Eating Alone

The filming of a movie is a complex process.

With the advancement of technology, the time required to shoot a movie may become shorter and shorter, but the cost is getting higher and higher.

For example, a few years ago, the investment of tens of millions in one step of the movie was already too much.

But if you look at the movies now, there are hundreds of millions.

Of course, the high cost is matched by a gradually climbing box office.

In the past, the box office exceeded 100 million yuan, which was reported by the central media, but now? Is it just that over 100 million people pay attention to you?

But even so, the investment in the film industry is still a loss of seven and a profit of three!

A money-making project is as difficult as panning for gold in.

Now that there is finally an Internet figure like Zhou Chen as a guarantee, these investors are not going crazy and rushing in.

It's a pity that this Huanyu Group is really a chicken thief, and took all the investment shares when they withdrew their capital, and now they are even more reluctant to release it at all.

Isn't this a clear statement of eating alone?

For this reason, various investors have been arguing with Huanyu Group, which has been going on for several months, and there has been no result.

Zhou Xuanlan asked Zhou Chen not to worry, anyway, no one is in a hurry.

Instead of caring about "Big Man", let's pay attention to the movie in your hand.

Because the script needs to be revised, the start time of filming cannot be set for the time being.

So for the past two days, Zhou Xuanlan has been going out shopping with Jiang Yirui, and Zhou Chen can only take it in the room because he is afraid of the intrusion of the paparazzi.

A big rich woman, a little rich woman showed super spending power at this time.

Every day Zhou Chen could see them coming back with a lot of things.

The relationship between the two has also changed visibly.

Facts have proved that as long as there is no Zhou Chen, the relationship between women can become very harmonious because of shopping.

Zhou Chen sometimes asks Zhou Xuanlan.

"Aren't you the CEO of the company? Aren't you going back to doing things? ”

Zhou Xuanlan replied to Zhou Chen with a meaningful smile.

"Am I still your agent? As a look agent, what's wrong with staring at you? ”

The official level crushed people to death, anyway, what she said is justified!

Fortunately, the waiting time was not long, and three days later, Zhou Chen received the news that the crew had started work.

In the morning, it was the opening ceremony.

The start-up ceremony is very simple, it is nothing more than opening a few sticks of incense on the altar.

But what really caught Zhou Chen's attention was the few stars present, Liu Qingyun, and Wan Qiwen!

Wan Qiwen is also a person in her seventies, and although she is in her forties now, she is still in good shape and still maintains her legs.

This is really Zhou Chen's childhood goddess!

As soon as he saw Wan Qiwen, Zhou Chen remembered when he was a child and watched "I Have a Date with a Zombie" in front of the TV.

That's childhood!

As for Liu Qingyun, he is also a well-known actor-level figure, and his acting skills in Xiangjiang in the eighties and nineties can be regarded as the existence of Tougou.

But when you actually see someone, you think he's a very quiet person.

There is an honest mobile phone hanging from his chest.

Before the ceremony began, he sat there with the script in his hand and watched.

Concentration and quietness, these two points made Zhou Chen particularly admired.

"Decrepit! What are you doing standing here! Don't you see that work is about to start? ”

Just as Zhou Chen was observing his surroundings, there was a scolding voice behind him.

When he turned around, he saw several staff members carrying props standing behind him.

Several people looked at Zhou Chen impatiently, seeing that he had no intention of leaving, the person in front of him looked a little impatient.

"Hit the streets! Look at what you see! Don't get out of the way yet! ”

"Ahh Fuck off! Mainland Aberdeen! ”

"Look, watch out for me popping your eyes!"

Although they are all filmmakers, there is also a chain of discrimination within them, for example, these crew members in Xiangjiang look down on the mainland because they feel that they are more professional.

Of course, it's not a movie, and the people of Xiangjiang are somewhat arrogant.

Zhou Chen didn't care, but chose to get out of the way.

Seeing him like this, several staff members of the props team were quite proud.

"Look, I'll just say that this big circle boy is a soft persimmon!"

"Whatever he does, move things! There's a lot more! ”

"Chasing the Murderer" is a suspense film, and Peng Fa has borrowed too many plots from the Seven Deadly Sins before and designed a lot of mechanisms, which is the embarrassing props team.

For each scene, they need to prepare a lot of things.

Fortunately today, it's just filming the police station, and they don't carry a lot of things.

Zhou Chen took the script and watched the people from the props team go away.

Then another voice rang out.

"Don't mind, they're the stinky temper! ~”

Zhou Chen looked to the side and saw a man with yellowish hair and glasses standing not far away.

The man walked over, stretched out his hand enthusiastically, and said:

"Hello, Situ Jingyuan!"

As the saying goes, reaching out and not hitting smiling people, besides, this Situ Jingyuan is not simple.

He has worked with Du Qifeng for a long time, and is Wei Jiahui's apprentice, and has been nominated for Best Screenwriter many times.

He is also the screenwriter of the film.

As soon as Zhou Chen saw Situ Jingyuan, he knew what the other party was coming for, and he responded:

"Hello, Zhou Chen!"

"I know!"

Situ Jingyuan nodded, walked up and explained to the prop masters just now:

"I hope you understand that although Xiangjiang is an international city, there are still many people who have never been out, and their knowledge is inevitably limited."

"In fact, not only them, but also many people in Xiangjiang are immersed in the prosperity of decades ago, but they don't know that the world has quietly put them behind."

Even if it is an international city, this name does not mean that the information is developed.

This name is more like a burden for many Xiangjiang people, making them unwilling to see the reality clearly.

Situ Jingyuan did not want the surrounding Xiangjiang people to be immersed in this illusory prosperity.

Zhou Chen saw him like this and comforted:

"You don't have to be pessimistic, after all, Xiangjiang is still very prosperous."

Situ Jingyuan glanced at Zhou Chen strangely, and then smiled.

"Huh? Are you because I haven't been to the mainland? Xiangjiang can't even compare with the second- and third-tier cities in the mainland! ”

What the Asian Tigers!

In Huaxia, this true dragon is here, and the other four little dragons are the same as earthworms.

Situ Jingyuan waved his hand to stop Zhou Chen's continued comforting movements, and he said:

"We can talk about these things later, I'm here to talk to you about movies!"

"Have you read the script? What do you think? This is something that Director Peng and I revised for two days and two nights according to your opinions! ”

Situ Jingyuan's mood changed relatively quickly, and he was still sighing at the Xiangjiang people around him just now, but now he left and returned to the script.

Facing his expectant gaze, Zhou Chen thought for a while and said:

"No problem for the time being!"
