"Do you know what it feels like to be alone? I sent him a message, I woke up a dozen times in one night, I looked at my phone when I woke up, I looked at my phone when I woke up, I just wanted to know if you replied to me, have you experienced it? It's the kind of half-dreaming and half-awake hazy state, dreaming to see if you look at your phone......"

Tao Ze read the lines he wrote affectionately, and then showed off to Zhou Cheng and Chu Ran next to him: "How about it, my writing is very good, just a few lines, Shen Bing's psychological state towards Cheng Feng is described." ”

"Pap ......" Wu Xiaotian took the lead in applauding, and then sneered at Chu Ran: "Chu Ran, I have always said that Tao Ze is the best at writing emotional dramas in our group, and you still raise the bar with me, you look at Tao Ze's lines, how much you feel when you write." ”

"It's a bit out of line with the character's design." Chu Ran said disdainfully.

"Doesn't fit the character?" Tao Ze, who was beaming proudly, showed a surprised expression.

Chu Ran pursed his lips and lashed out at him mercilessly: "This line of yours is too weak, Shen Bing will not say such unambitious words, you must know that it is Cheng Feng who took the initiative to pursue her, and she is the one who is victorious and arrogant." ”

"You also don't want to hit Tao Ze, he just started writing this script today, and he hasn't fully understood the entire story structure, if he really understands it thoroughly, he will play well." As the general person in charge of this script, Li Yan, who was talking to Zhou Cheng, took the initiative to stretch out his head to help Tao Ze relieve the siege.

Tao Ze also knew that his flirtatious act just now was a little frivolous, and then looked at Zhou Cheng and Chu Ran and asked, "Haven't you been looking for actors in Renyi for the past two days, why did you come here?" ”

Zhou Cheng explained: "Let's choose the actors. ”

After confirming Yuan Quan and Liu Yijun, several people began to divide labor. Chen Li went to visit several old actors. As the director of this play, Chen Li's personal visit can make these old actors feel that the crew attaches importance to them.

Zhou Cheng and Chu Ran went to two schools to select actors, and when choosing schools, the two of them still came to Nortel first.

"The school is on summer vacation, and even the students who don't go home are mostly interning in various crews, how many can come for interviews?" Wu Xiaotian asked in some surprise.

Chu Ran smiled proudly: "The students are on vacation, and the teacher is still there." We told Mr. Huang Lei about the request, but he didn't come over immediately. ”

"If you two have resources, you can think about school, and we will come here, otherwise we won't bother to pay attention to your work." Before Chu Ran's words fell, Huang Lei's voice came from the door of the studio.

"Director Cui, Teacher Huang, please come in. Chu Ran, make tea, use the one in my cabinet. Zhou Cheng turned his head and saw the two people coming, and hurriedly got up to greet him.

The two people standing at the door are both teachers from Nortel's performance department. With a smile on his face is Huang Lei, a teacher in the 05-level performance department. Xu Xiaodan, the head teacher of the 05 level form, was not at school for something, so he troubled Huang Lei to recommend students on her behalf. Another slightly more serious is Cui Xinqin, the star class teacher of Nortel, who once brought out the 96-level star class, in addition to the position of the head of the performance department, she also served as the head teacher of the 06-level acting undergraduate class.

Their students start their sophomore and junior year respectively, and it's time to practice their acting skills. Knowing that Zhou Cheng had the opportunity to perform in a human drama, he immediately rushed over.

"Tao Ze, Wu Xiaotian, you are also here, you are not looking for a place to play games."

"Director Cui, look at what you said. We're here to help Zhou Cheng write the script. Wu Xiaotian hurriedly distinguished.

"Writing a screenplay? Do you have a new creation? Cui Xinqin looked at Zhou Cheng and asked.

"Yes, Tao Ze and Xiaotian are creating a TV series." Zhou Cheng explained: "We have been mainly busy with dramas and movies recently, and the TV series has troubled them to help, and we just used the summer vacation time to let them exercise. ”

"Looks like you have a lot of projects." Cui Xinqin looked around at Zhou Cheng's office and praised: "At present, it seems that there is a good appearance, I hope you can grow up from this place, and also set an example for your junior brothers and sisters." ”

Zhou Cheng let the two of them on the sofa and served the tea made by Chu Ran: "It's just that the place is smaller, and Mr. Huang will help apply for two more." ”

Hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Huang Lei couldn't help but smile and said: "Director, you see how much this kid has improved, he was a boring donkey at school at the beginning, but now he climbs the pole as soon as you talk." ”

"Teacher Huang, this little space is really not enough." Zhou Cheng pointed to the two offices and said: "We only have a creation studio now, and the artists don't dare to sign it, because they are afraid that there will be no place for others." ”

"Don't cry to us about poverty." Huang Lei hurriedly waved his hand: "You still have resources in the hands of Director Zhang, and with the relationship between your father and Director Zhang, it is not easy to get two houses." ”

"Don't do it, I'm still trying to figure out a way, let my dad know that I play his banner, and don't clean me up."

Huang Lei is one of the few people in the school who understands Zhou Cheng's background, and he is worried that Cui Xinqin will put Zhou Cheng on the shelf of the head of the department, and he will take the lead in showing his affection for Zhou Cheng, and briefly reveal Zhou Cheng's background. After all, he and Cui Xinqin came to help students ask for resources today, and they should communicate with Zhou Cheng on an equal footing.

Cui Xinqin understood and knew that these students had all graduated, and they couldn't communicate as teachers and students, so she followed Huang Lei's words and said, "If you really want to apply for an office, I can also help you communicate with Director Zhang?" ”

"Thank you, Director Cui." Zhou Cheng was very satisfied with their attitude and expressed his gratitude to Cui Xinqin: "The two teachers, they only know the hardships of starting a business when they leave the school, and they still owe our school support, otherwise we are afraid that we will not even be able to rent an office..."

"Don't sell miserably, I have an inside line in Renyi." Huang Lei interrupted Zhou Cheng's miserable sale: "As far as I know, Renyi spent 100,000 yuan to buy the copyright of the drama. The budget for film production has reached 10 million, and Renyi alone is ready to invest 3 million, which is a large amount of money that Nortel has never had in these graduates. ”

"I can't hide anything from Mr. Huang." Zhou Cheng nodded, acknowledging this fact.

"Ten million?" Cui Xinqin, who was on the side, couldn't help but be speechless when she heard it.

It's not that Cui Xinqin hasn't seen big projects, but her students have even made films with an investment of hundreds of millions, but she was surprised that Zhou Cheng and their first project received such a big investment.

Although many domestic film investments often exceed 100 million yuan, there are only a few people who can get that investment. Most of these people have proven themselves through many movies and have been successful directors.

Ninety percent of domestic directors, including many sixth-generation directors who have become famous, are mostly shooting small-budget films with an investment of only a few million. Even Ning Hao, who shined with "Crazy Stone" last year, looked for investment in his latest film "Crazy Racing", and finally got an investment of 10 million yuan from the newly established China Film Hengdian Warner Film and Television Company.

And Zhou Cheng's first project was more than 10 million, and now Renyi not only bought the copyright of the drama, but also invested 3 million in film production, which made a good start for their follow-up financing.

According to Cui Xinqin's understanding of human arts, being able to have such support is enough to show how wonderful this play is, which is definitely a good opportunity for Cui Xinqin's students.

Cui Xinqin, who had sorted out the relationship, looked at Zhou Cheng and Chu Ran and said enthusiastically: "Zhou Cheng, there are several students in our class who are in Yanjing, you need a few actors, I will notify them to come over for the audition." ”

"We need four actors, two men and two women." Chu Ran took over the topic and told the two teachers what they needed.

"Only four of them?" Cui Xinqin was slightly disappointed when she heard this number.

Zhou Cheng helped explain: "These four characters are all main characters, not just one or two lines. ”

"Really?" Cui Xinqin asked in surprise.

Chu Ran nodded: "Two teachers, there are only ten main actors in our play, and several of the characters are older actors, and the students in our school are not suitable." The remaining leaders of the actors suggested that we choose between two schools, and we came to Nortel as the first stop. ”

"It's worthy of the school to train you, and Teacher Huang and I will definitely help you choose the right actors."

"Teacher Cui, their requirements are not low. According to Yuan Zheng told me, these boys are very ambitious, and they are all old actors. Not only Mr. Huang Teng, Mr. Da Li but also Mr. Fang Zige are their alternatives. There are also Liu Yijun from our school and Zhang Zhijian from Nanyi, each of whom has superb acting skills. After speaking, Huang Lei paused: "I also heard that you are going to invite Yuan Quan to be the heroine, do you need my help, just give two more roles." ”

Zhou Cheng and Chu Ran looked at each other and showed a smug smile: "Hehe, Sister Yuan has already taken over this drama." ”

Huang Lei pointed at the two of them and scolded with a smile: "Look at your appearance, why didn't you think of sending me an invitation, you must know that I am also a drama actor." ”

"Isn't this afraid that you won't look down on our play?" Zhou Cheng explained.

Chu Ran dismantled the stage: "You don't say that we need acting schools, idols like Mr. Huang are not in our consideration." ”
