The project of "Midsummer That Year" was approved, and the investment amount was also in place.

Three million RMB.

3 million yuan to make a movie is really difficult for Ke Zhanyi.

His debut novel "Youth is in the Right Year" has not been so picky.

But it can't be ......

"Midsummer That Year" is wholly owned by [Starlight Future], and now [Starlight Future] is in turmoil, and the blood loss is close to one billion......

In such an environment, although the company attaches great importance to this film, it is impossible to come up with much budget to make this.

But......

The investment in the youth-themed movie itself is not high, it is in the category of literary and artistic freshness, and it can win awards if it is filmed, for Ke Zhanyi, this movie is the beginning of his re-take-off, even if there are many difficulties, he can find a way to overcome them.

"It's time for the movie to be cast and started......"

Ke Zhanyi set his eyes on a notebook.

There are a lot of photos in that notebook.,It's all girls who have participated in [School Flower].

Youth Cinema ......

The casting must be to choose handsome guys and beautiful women, the original setting is on the one hand, and the key is eye-catching on the other hand.

If you choose an ordinary-looking bucktooth as the protagonist, the audience will lack a sense of substitution......

Lacking a sense of substitution, how can you immerse yourself in the plot of the movie?

"These are quite suitable for being a female classmate in a class, but not for being a heroine......"

Ke Zhanyi looked at the photos on the notebook, and after looking at it for a long time, he suddenly thought of another girl who became popular because of the [School Flower] activity, but did not sign a contract with [NC Studio] in the end......

After that turmoil, he watched the live video of [School Flower], and Song Yufei's appearance made his eyes light up!

She is beautiful, tall, cold, her voice is like a heavenly sound, and her voice in reality is also very pleasant, for a moment, Ke Zhanyi felt that Song Yufei was like a fairy coming down from the sky.

Such a girl dresses up a little and becomes the heroine of a movie, which will definitely amaze the audience.

But......

It seems like a pity.

Song Yufei did not sign [NC Studio], not only did she not sign [NC Studio], it seems that other entertainment companies did not sign either.

Although, some time ago, many entertainment companies approached her......

Ke Zhanyi searched for information for a while, and found that there was no contact information for Song Yufei.

After being speechless for a long time, he called [NC Studio], but unfortunately, no one answered the phone.

………………………………

Night.

Quiet.

Tomorrow is Saturday.

In [NC Studio], Chen Mengting gave a red envelope of 1,000 yuan to every student who participated in the production of the [Southern California International Film Awards].

A thousand yuan in red envelopes is not much, but for these students, an extra income in addition to their salary is definitely a great joy to be happier.

After distributing the red envelopes, Chen Mengting asked these students to rest.

In the office next door.

Zhang Sheng happened to talk to Lacey and Tom about good things, and before leaving, Zhang Sheng patted Lacey on the shoulder, and under Tom's shock, he said a very standard "Portuguese" goodbye.

"Mr. Zhang, I did what you asked, next, what should we do with the "Dog on the Other Side of the Mountain" filmed by Yanying seniors?" Chen Mengting's title to Zhang Sheng, I don't know when, it became Mr. Zhang.

"Three thousand dollars, set up a platform in Brazil, buy some screens, and the movie projection equipment is almost enough." Zhang Sheng looked at Chen Mengting with a smile: "It's a pity, I can't go abroad, otherwise I ......"

"Otherwise, what's wrong?"

"Otherwise, I can get some support from that village, after all, we can't help them build a platform for ordinary people to watch movies for free, right? I was a little uneasy about leaving this to Tom. Zhang Sheng looked at the direction in which Tom and Lacey had left, and said lightly.

"Don't worry Tom?"

"This person can be used for the time being, but he will be a little clever, he can't be a pure tool man, being smart is not a bad thing, if he is strong enough, the road will go far, but unfortunately, people are relatively weak, and this weakness will sooner or later be a bad thing...... Instead, it's that Lacey, a little more suitable. ”

Zhang Sheng did not hide anything in front of Chen Mengting, but patiently continued to teach Chen Mengting: "Senior sister, you have to remember that at this stage, we need some low-level, depressed people, because they are considered to be panning for gold in the sand, but in the next stage, after the platform is done, we will continue to screen these people......"

"Knock them out?" Chen Mengting asked subconsciously.

"No, put them in the right place, as for what is the right place, senior sister, you are a smart person, you don't understand now, but you will definitely understand in the future."

"Oh, the movie "The Dog on the Other Side of the Mountain", are we really going to show it in Brazil?"

"Senior sister, I said, we are not fraudsters, before the broadcast, you find the two classmates "Nangong Nan" and "Paramecium" to write a film review, try to be as true as possible, blow it if you have to, if you really don't have to blow it, don't blow it, anyway, if he pays the money, we will let him be shortlisted for the preliminary review, as for the Brazilian side will also show a screening, as for how the audience reacts, whether they can give him an award, just say ......" Zhang Sheng looked at Chen Mengting.

[Nangong Nan] and [Paramecium] These two accounts once brought Lin Xia to fire, and the owners of the two accounts are named Zhou Qiang and Cao Li, who are students of the two senior student unions of Yan Shijiazhuang, although they have not been classified into the [NC Studio], but Chen Mengting has always maintained a good cooperative relationship with them, and she also wrote some posts during the period, and each post is given money, according to the traffic and influence, dozens of yuan and hundreds of yuan......

This is the prototype of the future "self-media".

So far, Zhang Sheng's "small company" basically has everything it should have.

"Okay." Chen Mengting nodded.

Just when the two were chatting, a visitor tone sounded in the background of the official website of the [Southern California International Film Awards], and not long after, the call received on the landline next to Zhang Sheng.

Zhang Sheng picked up his mobile phone and answered the phone in fluent English under Chen Mengting's shock and insect catch.

Chen Mengting couldn't understand what was on the other side of the phone......

But standing next to him and listening to the tone of Zhang Sheng's words, the tone of frustration and ups and downs......

He!

If you want to engage in phone scams, you can find out if you want to do it!

Such a ridiculous idea appeared in Chen Mengting's heart.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Sheng came to the computer, watched the movie called "Superstar in Progress", and after reading some introductions, he subconsciously felt that this was a big bad movie.

It is estimated that it has a fight with the original world's "Dream Show*".

He pondered, then sighed.

"Mr. Zhang, what does this movie say?"

"You don't have to waste much time evaluating this movie, cut some leeks...... Collect 1,000 yuan for mental damages...... It's not going to be released in Brazil. ”

"Ah, why?" Chen Mengting looked at Zhang Sheng, a little dazed.

"I just watched the introduction of "The Dog on the Other Side of the Mountain", and I also watched some clips, although it is a small-budget literary film, but maybe, I said that it may be in the eyes of some small people, and it can still be watched, but the introduction of the movie "Superstar in Progress" was discouraged, although we have very low requirements for shortlisting, but it is really not a blind movie that can be released......"

“……”

"We want to give our film festival a positioning, the positioning is temporarily an authoritative literary and artistic leek film festival, some leeks can be cut well, maybe the people over there can still watch it, so as not to fall the brand, and some leeks, just cut a wave, after all, look at this posture, there are still a lot of directors who have signed up for our film festival......"

“……”

Chen Mengting pondered what Zhang Sheng said.

Zhang Sheng stood up, glanced at the time, and then turned around and left the office: "I'll go to [Starlight Future] to talk about cooperation." ”

"What cooperation?"

"Several of her artists are registering on Weibo, see if she is willing, let a few of their artists introduce the information, by the way, hang our [Southern California International Film Awards] actor, or actress, best director, guests and other information, if you want, our more than 30 invitations, just send them ......"

"Mr. Zhang, are we really doing this?"

"Do you think I'm really going to cut a wave of leeks and end it?"

"That ......"

"I said, we really don't engage in fraud, we are really holding movie awards! We've got invitations, we've got certificates, we've got trophies, we've got ...... for that."

"What trophy?"

"Isn't Berlin's top award the Golden Bear? Our highest award, also a Golden Hero Award...... By the way, next, I will invite a wave of merchants to come over ......"

"What merchant?"

"[Oubang Integrated Ceiling] is doing so well now, and the turnover is so high, we [Southern California International Film Awards] give him a chance to sponsor, let the icing on the cake, go international, he won't refuse, right?"

"Yes." Chen Mengting nodded.

"On that street, can the owners of those businesses not be greedy?"

"It seems that it will, these days, I have vaguely heard the news that some merchants want to cooperate with us......"

"I've been laying the foundation for so long, and now that I have the credibility, the success stories, and the platform, what do you think we should do?" Zhang Sheng looked at Chen Mengting again and subconsciously guided.

"Let's get them to sponsor our film festival, and then, another wave of leeks?"

"No, we are not cutting leeks, we are popularizing the concept with them, leading them to success together, helping their products to be internationalized, making them more authoritative and brand conscious......"

"......" Chen Mengting stared and nodded subconsciously.

It seems that this is the truth.

"Remember, this time, even if many brands will come to us or contact me through you, these are fine, but there must not be a "ceiling" brand, and you can't have several different brands selling the same product to work together, if there are many of them, let them also bid! ”

"Will they believe us at the [Southern California International Film Awards] film festival?"

"Remember, we only serve prospective customers who believe in us! If you don't believe it, it's good if we just eliminate it, we don't regret ......"

"Mr. Zhang, I think we are a bit like phone scams screening foolish customers......"

When Chen Mengting figured out the key point, her eyes suddenly widened, as if she had opened her mind.

"Senior sister! I don't know how many times I have to remind you that we are good law-abiding citizens, and we are not the kind of low-level scammers! ”

"Oh, oh......" Chen Mengting nodded subconsciously.

She felt that her head had been blown up by Zhang Shengshuo again......
