The candidates for the hero and heroine of the movie are finalized, and Mingmei is not in a hurry, and the supporting roles are slowly selected.

Yu Dongqing didn't care about this matter anymore, after all, the director is bright, and he can't interfere in everything.

As for the official start of filming, it's still very early, so I'll help take a look when the time comes.

Of course, the most important thing is the issue of funds, Li Wan recently revealed that it has now reached an investment of 21 million, the largest of which is Yu Dongqing's investment, but it is still more than half of their latest budget of 53 million.

This is certainly a headache, but it is not urgent.

With more than 20 million, the preliminary work can be carried out.

At noon that day, it was cold and windy outside, and Yu Dongqing was drinking hot tea and reading the ancient songs created by Zhao Yawen herself.

Luo Yun said this on the day Zhao Yawen started the live broadcast, and then Zhao Yawen sent the original eight songs to Yu Dongqing's mailbox, and he didn't care about it.

In fact, it is lazy.

I'm in a good mood today, so I opened my mailbox when I thought of it, and downloaded it one by one and looked at it carefully.

"Words Between Flowers", "Not Seeing Chang'an", "Lixia". The names are all good.

Yu Dongqing hummed the tune while reading the lyrics, the girl has made great progress after a year of study, of course, some places have to be modified, and she was busy with the mobile phone ringing, and when she saw that it was Li Wan calling, she took it.

"What, you've got an investment?" Yu Dongqing asked half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"It's a huge investment, but Mingmei doesn't agree, so I want to talk to you."

"Oh, you say?"

It turned out that Li Wan also spent a lot of brains in order to raise funds for this movie, not only making ideas on film and television investment companies, but also setting his sights on coal bosses and real estate tycoons.

These people are rich, and they are much more generous than those investment companies.

In the end, I really found a coal boss who was willing to invest.

"Holly, from the northern part of your Jin Province, people are willing to invest 30 million, but there is a prerequisite: the heroine of this movie must be his goddaughter!"

Goddaughter again!

Yu Dongqing has long turned a blind eye to the relationship between godfather and godmother in the entertainment industry.

"Does Mingmei disagree?"

"Yes, she said that the heroine Chen Nian has been played by her alumnus Qin Xiao, and this matter is so stuck. Actually, I think the girl recommended by the coal boss is also good, and she is also a student of Yenching Film Academy. ”

Also from a professional background?

"Holly, I mean everyone meet and communicate with each other again, how about it?" Li Wan finally said.

"Okay, let's arrange it."

Yu Dongqing agreed.

"Mingmei, you convince over there, I can't convince this girl with a stubborn temper." Li Wan said on the phone again.

"Okay, I'll call her."

Hanging up the phone, Yu Dongqing remembered the film and television investment in that time and space.

Coal bosses investing in the entertainment industry is nothing new, especially after the millennium.

Coal boss X entertainment industry, can always rub out the spark of passion, they never lack hidden stories.

Their stories are often like this: showing off their wealth and gambling on "second wives", flying private planes, and driving Hummer off-road vehicles......

Perhaps since then, it has become an open secret that female celebrities have brought money into the group. For screenwriters and directors, the glamorous female star is actually the link between the coal boss and the entertainment industry.

It is precisely with these female stars that the coal bosses who are "stupid and have a lot of money" are willing to invest in film and television dramas, and the film and television industry is booming.

No wonder screenwriter Wang Hailin said: "I miss the coal boss, they never interfere with our creation, except for asking for an actress, there is no other requirement." ”

And the relationship between the female star and the coal boss is probably two, one is that the coal boss holds his girlfriend as the heroine, and the other is that the coal boss finds the heroine to be his girlfriend.

And this time I want to invest in "Young You", the relationship between the coal boss and the female star seems to be the "former"?

Forget it, don't think about it.

Maybe it's really a godfather and daughter, but that's not the point anyway.

The point is how to get the money out of the coal boss's pocket and not change the actress, this is the key.

Yu Dongqing thought about this problem, and suddenly thought that he almost forgot to call Mingmei, and took out his mobile phone to dial Mingmei's phone number.

The phone was quickly connected, and before Yu Dongqing could speak, he heard Mingmei on the other end of the phone say, "Brother-in-law, did Li Wan call to see the media boss?" I don't have time. ”

"So busy? Not really, right? ”

"Actually, brother-in-law, I absolutely disagree with changing the heroine, Qin Xiao is very in line with the role of Chen Nian in terms of image and temperament, so why waste time?"

"I didn't say that you want to change the heroine, it's okay to see each other, right? Besides, you didn't know that you only made this one movie? These are all big financiers, don't be easily offended as a director, and the business is not in people's favors. ”

The other end of the phone smiled brightly: "Brother-in-law, how do I feel that you are a pure businessman at this moment." ”

"In this movie, I was originally an investor and said okay, I will definitely go when the time comes!"

"Uh-huh."

The meal time was set for noon the next day, and it was still in a very high-end restaurant - Yanjing Liang.

The other party is the father of the gold master, of course, you have to focus on it.

Yu Dongqing met Zhang Longwen, the owner of the big benefactor Longmei Mining Company, and his goddaughter Ye Xiaomin.

Zhang Longwen is about forty years old, wearing a black leather jacket and a scarf around his neck, so he can't see the golden necklace, but the knots on his short and thick fingers are still very conspicuous.

Ye Xiaomin sat next to Zhang Longwen and introduced each other to know that she graduated from Yandian last year. The appearance is very delicate and bookish.

Yu Dongqing thinks that it is not inconsistent to let her play a college student or even a middle school student, of course, the acting skills are not very clear, but if she graduated from Yenching Film Academy, it won't be too bad, right?

After everyone sat down, they quickly got to the point while eating and chatting.

When Zhang Longwen learned that Yu Dongqing was not only the screenwriter and investor of this movie, but also the director's brother-in-law, he immediately shifted the target to him.

"Mr. Yu, I listened to Mr. Li explain that the script you wrote, isn't it just about high school students, do you think my goddaughter plays a high school student?"

"Like!"

Yu Dongqing nodded.

Not to mention Yu Dongqing's admit, even Mingmei admitted that this girl named Ye Xiaomin can definitely play a high school student.

"As for her acting skills Xiaomin, what movies did you tell Mr. Yu?" Zhang Longwen looked at Ye Xiaomin after speaking.

"I have acted in "Martial Arts Heroes" directed by Director Lu Yongru, and I have also acted in an urban drama "Yanjing Beauty". Ye Xiaomin explained.

"Have you played "Martial Arts Heroes"?" Yu Dongqing was a little surprised when he heard this.

Last year, he was dragged to be the martial artist of "Martial Arts Heroes", why didn't he pay attention to this girl after staying in the crew for more than ten days?
