Zhou Nan was directly stunned.

Yes?

He never expected that the big boss Yi Yun meant to directly withdraw his investment in Muwen's "Storm" TV series.

And the reason why he withdrew this investment was just because Chu Yunxuan wanted to direct the same anti-crime drama.

In order to clear the obstacles for Chu Yunxuan's play, he even did not hesitate to directly end this cooperation with Mu Wen's "Storm"?

Everyone else is stupid.

He probably knew that this Chu Yunxuan must have a background.

It must have been his background that talked to Yi Yun, and then Yi Yun opened the back door.

But he never expected that Yi Yun would be so decisive!

It seems that he still underestimates.

"That...... Yi Dong, this "Storm" is currently a relatively important cooperation ...... on our side"

Zhou Nan still wants to fight for it.

After all, he wants performance.

Yi Yun looked at Zhou Nan and said: "Originally, I don't think there is any problem, but if you think about it carefully, it is really unnecessary to invest 1.4 billion in a crime drama like this, you can talk to them again, if they are willing to invest less than 1 billion, then continue to invest, if you think it is not possible, then we can't help it." ”

"Understood." Zhou Nan nodded.

Yi Yun looked at Zhou Nan and said, "Well, go ahead." ”

Zhou Nan then left.

Leaving Yi Yun's office, the shock on Zhou Nan's face had not disappeared.

"I'll go."

He couldn't help but still be shocked.

Chu Yunxuan, a layman, a young newcomer.

Never directed a play.

There's no problem with him having this idea, the first one he came up with was a kind of drama that picks out details and is extremely difficult, and at the same time, he will invest six or seven billion yuan.

The key is that his company is really willing to accompany him.

"He really seems to be from an ordinary family, or does Yi Dong really trust this script so much? He trusts this script is really fine, the script does feel good, but the director is Chu Yunxuan. ”

Essentially, it's also gambling.

But the director is Chu Yunxuan, this is playing at home.

Therefore, if you make Zhou Nan feel that Yi Yun has no personal support for this matter, it is impossible.

……

The other side.

Muwen is ready to start preparing for "Storm".

First of all, it must be casting.

He is going to find all the suitable acting schools on the market, all the first-line or something.

There is this capital!

In itself, the majority of the investment in anti-crime dramas is actors and shooting, and there are basically very few special effects or anything.

Since he has this money, he has to make the lineup extremely strong, which is also a big gimmick for publicity at that time.

"Hey, Mr. Zhou, hahaha, hello Mr. Zhou."

Mu Wen received a call from Zhou Nan.

"Director Muwen, hello, have you eaten?"

Mu Wen smiled and said: "Thanks to Mr. Zhou's concern, I just ate it, and now I am preparing to cast for "Storm". ”

Zhou Nan then said: "Director Mu, there is bad news......

Over there, Mu Wen frowned.

"You say."

"Regarding your investment in "Storm", our company held a temporary meeting to decide, and it has been canceled for the time being."

"What?"

Mu Wen was directly stupid.

"It's not...... Mr. Zhou, how... How could it be canceled? It's all negotiated, and the contract has been signed. ”

Zhou Nandao: "The decision from above, you also know, the company pays attention to an income, they think that your investment in this drama is too big, the key to this kind of drama, such a big investment, the income may not be high." ”

Mu Wen: "I am still very confident, although the investment is large, I am confident that the income will also be large, and I even think that this drama may become a big hit launched by the entire Qidian Video this year, so it needs some hard conditions to support." ”

Zhou Nan: "I understand, I understand, what the company means is that if your investment can be reduced to less than one billion, we will continue to cooperate, Director Mu, such a drama, an investment of one billion, is still a particularly big deal." ”

Mu Wen frowned.

The key is that he has already calculated this account before.

Suddenly there are 400 million less, and many of his plans will be disrupted.

Moreover, he has huge ambitions for this show.

He didn't want to compromise.

"Mr. Zhou, can't you talk about it?"

"Hey, I can't help it, what the top means, you also know that the investment of more than 100 million yuan in TV series may not have one a year for our company, and the top has paid attention to it."

Mu Wen nodded: "Understood, then I'll think of a way." ”

"I'm really sorry, you can also think about it again, it's still okay within a billion dollars."

"Okay, okay."

Zhou Nan: "Then I'll send someone to you to invalidate the contract, so I won't bother Director Mu to come in person." ”

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Wen almost threw the phone out in anger.

"Grass!"

He scolded angrily.

"How can there be such a thing, I am a grass mud horse!"

The point is, he can't afford to mess with this company.

He didn't dare to tear his face.

Although the contract clearly stated that before the casting is completely over, or the casting and other aspects are not satisfied, Qidian Group cannot see the benefits that this drama can bring, and there is still the right to terminate the cooperation, which is considered an overlord clause.

There were before.

However, he really didn't expect that his investment would really be terminated.

Generally, in order to protect their own rights and interests, the company gives a way back that can be regretted.

However, the horse fell on his head.

Although your capital is really good, you can't be so disrespectful, right?

Although you really didn't break the contract, or even just willing to give 400 million less investment.

However, Mu Wen just can't accept it!

"Made!!"

Mu Wen is impossible anyway.

Either he won't shoot this drama, but once he does, he is bound to achieve his ambitions!

He is good at filming this kind of drama, and this script is so good, the details are well grasped, the roles are selected well, and the filming is good, it must be better than his last one.

"Isn't it true that Lao Tzu can only pull your investment, and Lao Tzu can't go to someone else?"

Mu Wen was furious.

"Made, when the time comes, you will wait and regret it."

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the middle-aged poor!

……

The other side.

Chu Yunxuan was still very happy.

Now it's time to get started.

He called Qin Yueran.

"Hey, Xiao Xuanxuan, how is the investment talk?" Qin Yueran took the initiative to ask.

"Can that be called a talk? It's just a mouthful, okay? ”

"Hee-hee."

Chu Yunxuan said helplessly: "Eldest sister, your back door is too big, so it's not challenging for me." ”

"What is this? Funding is only the first step, and it doesn't need any challenges, you have to be challenging, and it's a lot, you shoot it, shoot it well, the ratings will explode, and the word of mouth will explode, which is all challenging. ”

Qin Yueran replied.

"Okay, anyway, there's no way I'm going to make your company lose money."

Qin Yueran then said: "Don't take those high-level executives of the company as fools, the big boss of Qidian Group didn't refuse my request, that doesn't mean that he simply gave me this face, then at least he also read this script, he has a certain amount of confidence, even if the director is you." ”

"At least, he thinks that with your popularity and attention, the script is very good, with an investment of 600 million, he has passed the evaluation of some professional departments, at least he knows in his heart whether this drama is a profit or a loss, even if it is a loss, it should not be very big, he can accept it, and sell me and my dad a face, anyway, he must have made all the preparations and statistics."

"In his opinion, whether this drama makes money or not is one thing, for him personally, no matter what it is, it won't lose anyway."

Chu Yunxuan nodded: "Okay, then I'll start casting." ”

"It's up to you, you're in control of everything anyway, Director Chu."

Qin Yueran said with a smile.

"Don't call me that, it's embarrassing."

"Flutter,."

"Hahaha, then I'll hang up."

"Bye-bye."

Chu Yunxuan then stretched.

"Let's go!"

Casting!

After returning to the hotel, Chu Yunxuan began to look for the cast list that Director Lu Sheng had sent him before.

The characters of this drama are very powerful.

So, casting is important.

The two male protagonists are naturally the top priority.

Then there is the casting of several important female characters.

The role of the decent male protagonist An Xin's childhood sweetheart Mengyu.

The role of sister-in-law Chen Shuting.

The role of Gao Qilan of the Gao family.

There are also the roles of Tang Xiaohu, Tang Xiaolong, and Gao Qisheng, including the role of Xu Jiang, the first villain of this drama, all of which are very eye-catching and very important.

Knock Knock Knock –

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Chu Yunxuan opened the door.

"Good afternoon."

Lin Miaomiao waved her hand.

"Finished shooting?" Chu Yunxuan asked.

Chu Yunxuan has no role today.

"Uh-huh."

"Come in."

The two of them walked into the room.

"What are you doing?" Lin Miaomiao asked curiously.

Chu Yunxuan sat in front of the computer and rubbed his temples: "What about casting." ”

"Wow! Are you funded? ”

"Well, it's time to invest." Chu Yunxuan said.

Lin Miaomiao came to Chu Yunxuan's side and asked, "Then do you think I have any suitable roles Director Chu, my friendship price only needs one meal." ”

Chu Yunxuan glanced at Lin Miaomiao, and then patted her head: "Then am I still human?" Do you want to read the script? ”

"Wow!"

"The drawer over there, I printed it out."

"I'll take a look."

Lin Miaomiao then sat on the edge of the bed and read the script intently.

Chu Yunxuan thought that things were actually quite easy, but when it really came to this point, he felt that even the most basic casting was so troublesome.

"An Xin's role, I don't think I can play it."

It's not suitable at all, and the audience will have no sense of substitution.

He scanned the cast, and then fixed his gaze on a man named Zhang Duo.

The actor, an absolute acting school, has a wide range of acting paths, and is even better at some military films and criminal investigation films.

"That's it."

Chu Yunxuan took a fancy to him at a glance.

And it is also very much in line with the image that he is more satisfied with in his impression.

Subsequently, Chu Yunxuan directly sent a script and role invitation to Zhang Duo's agent in his own identity.

The price is 30 million.

It is also a quote from the basis of his above.

The specific price can be discussed in detail, but basically the difference will not be too large.

Three hours had passed, and Chu Yunxuan had already roughly set the invitations for several roles.

But it's hard to make it happen.

First, Chu Yunxuan is the director.

Second, whether they have time and schedule.

Therefore, in fact, except for the role of the male number one An Xin, who is an actor, some other actors are looking for the kind that is not so popular.

But it must be a powerful faction of acting.

"There are still a few old drama bones."

Chu Yunxuan frowned.

Moreover, several important female characters, Mengyu in the play, Gao Qilan and sister-in-law Chen Shuting have not been decided.

The personalities of the three women are still outstanding.

Image is also important.

Lin Miaomiao put down the script and looked at Chu Yunxuan.

In her eyes, there was a little more admiration and admiration for Chu Yunxuan.

It's amazing.

"Chu Yunxuan, I don't feel like there's any female role here that I'm suitable for, I feel like I'll play a certain female Jing at most." Lin Miaomiao said helplessly.

Of the three important female roles, she may only be slightly suitable for the role of Mengyu.

is mainly the role of Gao Qilan in the later stage, who wants to become that kind of intellectual royal sister.

She guessed she couldn't hold this kind of play.

"It's true that several of the more important female roles in this script are not easy to play." Chu Yunxuan said.

"Yes, yes, but in the script, for the role of Chen Shuting, I have a candidate to recommend to you, and I feel quite suitable." Lin Miaomiao said.

"Who?"

"Her name is Li Man, one of my seniors, I have filmed with her before, and I think she can handle Chen Shuting's domineering sister-in-law's temperament in your script."

"I'll see."

Chu Yunxuan then searched for some clips of her acting experience.

"That's really good."

Chu Yunxuan's eyes lit up.

"yes, yes."

Chu Yunxuan really felt that it was very suitable.

"Can you make an appointment for me?"

"Okay, I'll talk about it."

Lin Miaomiao seemed to be very happy to be able to help Chu Yunxuan.

"Thank you."

Lin Miaomiao opened the door and was about to go out, while making an "OK" gesture, and then walked out.

Chu Yunxuan thought about it, and then called Lin Qin.

"Sister Qin, are you busy?"

Lin Qin smiled: "I just returned to Jinghai City, what's wrong?" ”

"I'll show you a script when I'm free."

"Okay, you can send it to me."

Chu Yunxuan: "Okay." ”

In the middle of the night, when Chu Yunxuan was about to fall asleep, Lin Qin called.

"This script is okay, which director's one? You're not going to recommend me to him for one of these female roles, are you? ”

"Yes, how about the role of Mengyu?"

Lin Qin: "......"

"Yes, although I prefer the other Gao Qilan and Chen Shuting, but this is okay, I should be more suitable, quite willing, the main script is really good, which director wants to shoot?"

"Me." Chu Yunxuan said.

Lin Qin: "......"

"Huh?"

She froze.

"You said you wanted to be a director, but that's the emotional drama? Where did you get your script? ”

"I wrote it."

Lin Qin: "......"

Made! Awesome!

"I really don't know what else you will do, okay, I support Director Chu unconditionally."

"No, you have to really like it, you don't agree because you think it's me."

Li Qin said: "I said it originally, I have the urge to act in this play." ”

"Do you believe me, then?"

"How so? It doesn't feel reliable, but I want to bet with you, hahaha. Lin Qin said bluntly.

After all, no one would think that Chu Yunxuan could direct a drama well.

"Hahaha, I won't let you down."

Chu Yunxuan also smiled.

"No problem, then you still have to guide me to act." Lin Qin laughed.

"I'm strict."

"Wow, whip me."

Chu Yunxuan smiled.

"Director Chu, there is a problem."

Lin Qin was suddenly very serious.

"You ask."

"That...... Are you the kind of director who knows the unspoken rules? ”

Chu Yunxuan: "......"
