Weijiang is a small city, not as prosperous as Jiangdu, but the city is very dynamic, and there are many young people who work tirelessly for their dreams.

The passer-by casting center has been able to undertake the role announcements of many crews, of course, Chen Youzhou's threading in the middle is indispensable.

After several days of rain, the whole Weijiang River is sunny.

"Xiao Li, close the door, let's eat shabu-shabu." Tao Fushu cooked a hot pot and filled the table with vegetables, "You don't have to go to work this afternoon, let's rest today." ”

"Oh yes." There was a noise in the store, who wouldn't be happy to have a holiday.

The passer-by A casting center recruited a total of three people, and they were originally running the show for three months, but they were recruited by Mr. Tao to work in the store, and relatively speaking, their wages were much higher than those in the local area.

can work in the passer-by casting center, there must be nothing to talk about the benefits, and what is even happier is that the boss Chen Youzhou and the boss Tao Fushu are really good, and they treat everyone like their own children.

"The boss hasn't come back yet." Xiao Zhang said.

"Don't wait for him, maybe he won't come back today, this guy met a director and went to the crew to play." Tao Fushu smiled, "Come, eat, eat." ”

“……”

On the other hand, Chen Youzhou is chatting with the director and assistant director in the crew of the TV series "Red Star Shining", the director of this crew is called Gao Hu, who is about the same age as Chen Youzhou, and the two of them can talk about a lot of things.

This is a movie about resisting the station, what is to be filmed, it is the female medical soldiers led by the heroine who hurriedly arrived, and the male protagonist Chen Tuan Commander has been fighting with the enemy all night, and the whole position is in shambles.

"Chen Gongxun." The heroine yelled at the scene.

Chen Youzhou doesn't understand the filming of film and television dramas, but it is very fresh to watch the real shooting in a small shed with everyone, especially when he saw the director shouting in the intercom and the heroine repeating it over and over again according to what he said, he suddenly had an idea in his head.

Chen Youzhou has always wanted to pass on the story of himself and Mr. Tao, and originally wanted to let everyone understand the power of love through the success of two people in old age and entrepreneurship, but now, he feels that he can use movies.

That's right, it's making movies.

Since he is in Weijiang, a place with perfect infrastructure and can find many good actors, why can't he make a movie of his own?

Chen Youzhou's blood was boiling.

It would be a meaningful event if the story of him and Mr. Tao could be made into a movie.

"Brother Hu, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." Chen Youzhou stood up suddenly, chatting well, but he didn't expect to leave suddenly.

"Don't you stay to eat?" Gao Hu retained, "The food of our crew is really good. ”

Whether a crew is good or not can be distinguished through logistics support, especially in an anti-Japanese war drama like this, which requires a lot of group performances, and the crew's box lunches are not very delicious.

But Gao Hu's crew is different, their crew is a cook hired by themselves, and they cook it in the kitchen in advance and then load the food to the crew, and the food is very good.

"No need." Chen Youzhou patted Gao Hu on the shoulder, and the long-lost passion for entrepreneurship returned.

Making a movie is a very expensive thing, not only the investment of money, but also the mental investment and dedication.

However, Chen Youzhou doesn't find it difficult, because there are too many people who make movies across borders, and if you sing well, you can make a movie, and if you write well, you can make a movie, so why can't he?

Chen Youzhou even thought of the name of the movie.

It's called "Cohabitation Life from the Beginning of Separate Rooms"

This reminds Chen Youzhou of a popular youth movie "The Girl We Chased in Those Years" many years ago, everyone has a Shen Jiayi in their hearts, but not everyone can make their own stories into movies like nine knives.

The first thing you need to make a movie is to get funding.

Chen Youzhou and Tao Fushu said that the start-up capital of coming to this city is only 500,000 yuan, renting a house in the early stage and engaging in a façade, although it has begun to make money now, it is difficult to maintain the output of a movie.

In the passer-by casting center, everyone was eating hot pot and eating coolly, an uninvited guest pushed open the glass door, and Chen Youzhou took a pair of fast shots to announce a good news to everyone.

"Guys, you may not see me for a long time." Chen Youzhou sandwiched a meat sausage, put the meat sausage in his mouth and chewed, "I'm going to do a vigorous thing." ”

"What's the big deal?" Tao Fushu asked.

"I want to make a love movie, I want to tell young people what love is, I want to tell young people to persevere in chasing their love when they are young."

Several other clerks looked at each other and reasoned, this store has today's achievements, and the proprietress has made great contributions, after all, it is the proprietress who guards the store every day.

As for their boss, except for doing some serious things when he opened the store, he either ate and drank with the group leaders at other times, or chatted and drank tea with the crew directors who had just arrived.

Although most of the notices were obtained by Chen Youzhou through social networking, everyone knew that as long as the store was here, there would be no shortage of notices at all.

Chen Youzhou's upward socialization is just the icing on the cake.

Tao Fushu suddenly reached over his hand, put it on Chen Youzhou's forehead, touched it, touched his forehead, and whispered, "I don't have a fever." ”

"Of course not, I'm serious." Chen Youzhou put down the bowl and talked to Chen Youzhou seriously, "The movie I want to make is the story of me and you, and I have chosen the name, it will be called "Cohabitation Life from the Beginning of Separate Rooms"

What Chen Youzhou looked like when he was serious, Tao Fushu couldn't be clearer.

But Tao Fushu had to pour cold water, "Don't you need money to make a movie?" ”

"Yes." Chen Youzhou nodded.

"Actors and actresses, let's not talk about inviting stars, let's just say that we invite those with a little better acting skills and better looks, these two people will be at least ten or two hundred thousand, right?"

"Almost." Chen Youzhou nodded and said, "If you talk about the price a little, it can be lower." ”

"Okay, then there's the equipment, you can't shoot with your mobile phone when you make a movie, do you have professional equipment?"

"This ......" Chen Youzhou thought for a while, and suddenly thought of the director of a crew that had just been completed, "I know the directors well, I can rent it, it may take two months to finish filming, and the budget is up to 400,000 yuan." ”

"Four hundred thousand!" Tao Fushu gritted his teeth, stood up, and said to Chen Youzhou, "You and I come here." ”

Chen Youzhou followed, and Tao Fushu talked to him about the over-budgeting.

"So, you're planning to use other funds?" Tao Fushu and Chen Youzhou whispered in a corner, "If you really want to shoot, I can transfer 50 million to come out." ”

"Don't." Chen Youzhou immediately denied it, "Let's say that the start-up capital of coming to this city will be 500,000, otherwise it will not be challenging at all, how much money do we have in the account in the store?" ”

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

"Our store has just been on the right track, with a turnover of more than 2 million in the past six months, a gross profit of only more than 500,000, and more than 800,000 on the books."

"That's enough." Chen Youzhou looked at Tao Fushu seriously, "Teacher Tao, I want to make our story into a movie, believe me." ”

It's been this year, it's hard for Tao Fushu not to agree with Chen Youzhou, the current passerby A casting center has a total of more than 80 months, it doesn't matter how much he loses, let him rest assured and boldly do it.

"Okay." Tao Fushu agreed, "But I want to be a producer." ”

The producer is the investor, which means that Tao Fushu wants to control the financial problems during the entire filming of the movie, which is just the right time for Chen Youzhou to solve problems.

Determined to make a movie, Chen Youzhou's mind was full of whimsical ideas, as if he had found the inspiration when he created the game.

Whether it's making games or making movies, it's essentially about creation, creating this thing, it's hard to say what a youth drama is, no matter how Chen Youzhou understands creation, he is a person with creative ability.

In the following time, Chen Youzhou began to write a plan.

If you want to make a movie, of course, it's not a one-person thing, and there are too many people in the industry involved.

The plan of the movie, like writing one, is now determined to be urban love, and it is time to start writing the outline, and when the outline is done, the character design will be written, and then the detailed outline, which is particularly cumbersome.

From the day the movie was going to be made.

Chen Youzhou didn't go to the store.

He locked himself up and wrote a plan on his computer in a rented house, and it was already a month after he had written the plan.

During this period, the Passerby A Casting Center has grown steadily, ushering in the most prosperous time of the year.

Summer is here.

The weather is getting hotter.

Every summer, there will be a lot of people in Weijiang, whether it is tourists or people from all over the country filming, they will usher in a peak.

Chen Youzhou, who successfully wrote the plan, also started the next plan, which is to select the hero and heroine.

The script "Cohabitation Life Starting from Separate Rooms" is basically the daily life of Chen Youzhou and Tao Fushu, and there are not many characters in it.

"Mr. Tao, you can start casting." Chen Youzhou showed the script to Tao Fushu, "The most important thing is the choice of the male and female protagonists, if the price is too low, it is estimated that no one will come, I want to buy out 200,000 yuan per person at one time." ”

Chen Youzhou wants to shoot a small movie, so naturally he can't spend a big salary like a big movie, so he can only pick out two good ones from the existing crowd to be the hero and heroine.

"I've already helped you find a candidate." Tao Fushu took out ten Mochas, "These are the ten people I picked from the database, it should be said that they are all good in appearance and acting skills among ordinary people, what they lack is just opportunities." ”

In Weijiang, countless men and women come every year to pursue their dreams, and finally leave the city with disappointment.

But there are really a lot of handsome guys and beauties in this city, and those who can be called handsome guys and beauties in Weijiang can be regarded as Internet celebrities on the Internet.

Among the ten people selected by Tao Fu, Chen Youzhou has seen them all, but he always feels that these girls are okay on the surface, but they are always lacking some bookishness.

Yes.

Lack of bookish air.

If you want to find someone like Teacher Tao, the girls on the market who are okay are definitely not good, at least Chen Youzhou feels that it is not as good as Tao Fushu in his mind.

"The smell of wind and dust is too strong." Chen Youzhou put down the photos of these people, "I think you still need to go to the school to find it, the hero and heroine don't need you to worry about it, I'll go to Sujiang University to find it." ”

"Okay." Tao Fushu was also prepared in his heart, because the actors in their system library are really not very good, and if they really want to find good seedlings, they have to go to college.

Chen Youzhou went to Sujiang University with a mission.

At this time, Sujiang University is almost out of vacation, and many men and women are ready to go back to their hometowns or go on a trip, of course, many people choose to work part-time.

Chen Youzhou came to Sujiang University with his tail, and he hired many female students to start distributing flyers, and the leaflets were distributed to the entire school, which was to recruit good-looking boys and girls as actors.

The kung fu of a summer vacation actually gave 200,000.

The female college students are all crazy.

You know, the best place to go in the summer vacation is to work in the factory, and it is good to get more than 10,000 yuan in two months, but this is 200,000 yuan.

As soon as the news spread, this matter reached the ears of the leaders of the School of Communication and Communication of Sujiang University.

They are welcome to have a small director casting at Sujiang University, but if this little director is cheating money and sex, wouldn't it be harmful.

In order to verify the authenticity of Chen Youzhou, the leaders of the School of Communication of Sujiang University immediately invited Chen Youzhou to the office for tea.

Chatting and chatting, the leaders of Sujiang University actually found that Chen Youzhou's cognition, knowledge, and bearing were particularly extraordinary, and they inquired a little in Weijiang, this person has a local casting center, and he knows many directors in the circle.

After verifying the authenticity of Chen Youzhou, the leaders of Sujiang University immediately organized a draft to give the venue and resources to Chen Youzhou to pick the male and female protagonists.

The college strongly recommended that the female students of the School of Communication cherish this opportunity of the draft very much.

To tell the truth, the students who came out of the School of Communication have a good background, and they don't go looking at the salary, but looking at the opportunity to get filming, thinking about the idea of going in case it becomes popular.

These days, when you talk to your students about becoming a scientist, a writer, or a sociologist, they accuse you of having a brain disease.

However, if you change to Internet celebrities and anchors, people will be happy, and there are too many people who want to be popular these days.

I don't know if it's because of the natural water reversal, among the people who come to the draft, there is really no shortage of particularly good-looking ones, but they can pick and choose, and they always lack some bookish atmosphere.

These girls who are art majors have always lost some of Tao Fushu's charm of "poetry and books".

In the end, Chen Youzhou only identified a male student named Zhang Yang.

As for the choice of the heroine, he felt that he still had to take the initiative, the girls who came to participate in the draft always had a utilitarian atmosphere, and every time they came, the powder on their faces was too much, and Chen Youzhou didn't like it.

So, in one afternoon.

Chen Youzhou went to the library of Sujiang University, and he had a lot of experience in how to tell if a girl really likes to read.

After looking for a few books, Chen Youzhou stayed in a corner and started reading.

There are not many girls in the library, but what caught Chen Youzhou's attention was a girl in a long white dress who was close to him and liked to read quietly in the corner.

"Classmate, what kind of book is yours?" Chen Youzhou said hello.

"Sociology of Humanity." The girl glanced at the cover to Chen Youzhou and smiled, "Hesenburg's book is called "Attack on Homo sapiens". ”
