Behind the scenes of the entertainment industry

"Cleaning here?"

The two came to the family area of ​​Yanjing Film Academy. Gu Xintong looked at the two-story red brick building in the style of the former Soviet Union and asked Zhou Cheng doubtfully.

"This is it." Zhou Cheng took out the key from his bag and led Gu Xintong to open a room on the second floor near the innermost room.

This building and the other two buildings across the road are classrooms and offices that were built when Nortel founded the school. Although it looks unprepossessing, it has trained many students such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Tian Zhuangzhuang, which are enough to influence

The great master of the Chinese film industry has witnessed the history and glory of Nortel.

In the 1990s, the country began to pay attention to the construction of colleges and universities, and Nortel continued to expand. Several brand-new teaching buildings, dormitories, small theaters, and sports venues were built one after another. The new teaching environment not only provided students with more superior learning

The environment also caused these old buildings to lose their original meaning. The school even prepared to demolish them and build a new teaching building at one time. However, it was worried that it would damage the greening in front of and behind the small building and affect the lighting in the family area behind it.

Void.

Later, a group of hard-working people emerged from Nortel who claimed to be the sixth-generation directors. They wanted to make movies and set up their own studios and film and television companies. However, in Yanjing, where prices were rising day by day, hard-working people were still working hard.

The school expressed its support for student entrepreneurship, so it cleared out several small buildings here and rented them free of charge to Nortel graduates for office use. Each person can rent up to two rooms for a period of five years, and the school charges 2,000 yuan per year.

Water, electricity and management fees.

Over the past ten years or so, the tenants here have changed several times. Directors such as Jia Zhangke, Lou Ye, Wu Shixian, and Ning Hao, who are already well-known, have moved out of here after their success.

Choose newer and larger office buildings to start your own new business. Of course, there are also many who sadly left here after experiencing several failures and worked in other film and television companies, or simply left the industry and engaged in other careers.

Zhou Cheng also applied for two rooms with the school last year as registered business addresses. These two rooms were originally the studio of a senior from the photography department. Later, after this senior worked hard in Yanjing for several years, his career has not improved. Last year

Returned to my hometown and prepared to engage in wedding photography.

It’s just that Zhou Cheng never came here again, and the two offices have been idle. In fact, there are not many people in these buildings who actually work here every day. Due to professional reasons, most people still hang out in various production crews.

Or take the script and seek investment from major film and television companies.

Recently, not only did he receive a 100,000 yuan copyright fee from Renyi, but he also received a 100,000 yuan bonus from the Youth Film Festival, so he finally decided to use these two offices to serve as a script writing studio for Li Yan and others.

use.

This room had not been cleaned for nearly two years. The moment he opened the door, Gu Xintong felt as if he had been cheated again. In addition to being filled with dust, the two rooms were also full of piles. This was completely a shabby place.

storehouse.

Maybe it had been idle for a while from the time this senior brother checked out until Zhou Cheng rented the house, so a lot of useless furniture, tables, chairs, benches, newspapers, periodicals and documents were all piled up here.

"Brother Cheng, although I study judo, I am not a strongman." Gu Xintong stretched out his slender arm and gestured to Zhou Cheng: "I'm afraid I won't be able to bear these few meals of yours. I really can't.

Please ask Gao Ming."

"Don't worry, I'll just call and shake people off." Zhou Cheng had only taken a few glances through the window before, knowing that it was messy inside, but he didn't expect there to be so many things.

"That's pretty much it." When Gu Xintong saw Zhou Cheng starting to make a phone call, he gave up the idea of ​​escaping for the time being.

"Brother Cheng..."

"Brother Cheng..."

"Senior brother..."

Zhou Cheng made a phone call and called a total of six people. In addition to Tao Ze, there were three men and two women. The three boys were all 04-level literature students. They should have stayed in school during the holidays to take orders to earn some extra money. Two

Zhou Cheng was a little surprised by the girls. They were Tang Wan and Zhang Xiaofei from the 2005 acting department.

"Didn't I ask you and Xiaotian to come over to help? What's going on?" Zhou Cheng pointed at a few people and asked in surprise.

"Xiaotian has something to do back in Jinmen and won't be back until tomorrow. So I went to the dormitory to shout. I didn't expect so many people to come." While answering Zhou Cheng's question, Tao Ze glanced at the person who was helping Zhou Cheng greet people there.

Gu Xintong: "Brother Cheng, who is this girl? Is she married yet? Please introduce her to me."

"Just you?" Zhou Cheng glanced at him disdainfully: "Two of you are not enough to beat her. This girl used to practice judo."

Among the four people in Zhou Cheng's dormitory, Tao Ze, who came from Guangdong Province, had obvious Lingnan characteristics. He was lean and lean. He was not even 170cm tall and was not taller than Gu Xintong.

"I'm not pursuing her, I just feel cool looking at her short hair style."

In fact, not only Tao Ze thought Gu Xintong was cool, but Tang Wan and Zhang Xiaofei were also amazed when they saw Gu Xintong. Zhang Xiaofei, with Gu Xintong's permission, not only touched her short hair with her hands, but also held her own long hair.

Imagine how you would look with short hair.

"Brothers and sisters, thank you. I'm treating you to a treat at noon today. You can have whatever you like at the Goat Village opposite the school." Zhou Cheng ignored Tao Ze who was thinking about rising to the challenge and came to the group of people to express his gratitude.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Cheng."

Youdao has more people and more strength. Several boys are responsible for carrying tables, benches and other relatively heavy items, while Gu Xintong and two girls are responsible for cleaning up some scattered items.

"Hello, Senior Brother Zhou, I am Zhang Xiaofei from level 05." During his free time, Zhang Xiaofei saw that there was no one around Zhou Cheng, so he came over.

"Xiao Fei, thank you today."

There is no change between Zhang Xiaofei and the other world. She has an average appearance and is not very outstanding in level 05. The other world also improved because of a movie.

"Brother, are you planning to start a company?" Another girl, Tang Wan, looked at Zhou Cheng curiously. Her question made several other busy boys also look over.

"Xiao Wan, Brother Cheng originally registered his company here." Tao Ze compared Gu Xintong and Tang Wan, and after some consideration decided to keep his original intention. Today, Tang Wan and Zhang Xiaofei took the homework assigned by the teacher and found

Tao Ze asked for advice on how to annotate some of the biographies. He happened to meet Zhou Cheng on the phone, so he came with him.

"My company here is a studio. After a while, Li Yan, Tao Ze, and Xiaotian will complete a script together." Zhou Cheng said to the other three boys: "Yang Guang, Liu Wei, and Yi Ning

, you guys can come over and help if you have time, I won’t treat you badly.”

"Thank you Brother Cheng..." Several people were overjoyed when they heard Zhou Cheng's words. They did not expect that there would be other gains from this help.

Zhou Cheng has completed the outlines of five more TV series during this period, but it is still difficult for Li Yan and others to perfect the plots of the subsequent scripts. Moreover, Zhou Cheng is afraid of damaging Li Yan and his team's self-confidence if they come up with so many scripts at once.

So Zhou Cheng decided that when Li Yan and the others were writing scripts, he would come up with one or two outlines and ask the juniors at the school to act as shooters and recruit talents for his company.

Zhou Cheng and several people spent a day cleaning the two offices here. Although there was no labor cost, a meal in Goat Village cost Zhou Cheng more than 600 yuan.

"What a big loss. I only planned to treat you alone, but I didn't expect it would cost so much." After returning home, Zhou Cheng looked at Gu Xintong who was snickering and complained.

"Brother Cheng, thank you." Gu Xintong gained a lot today. Although Tang Wan and Zhang Xiaofei did not sign a contract to be her artists, they left their contact information and reached a verbal commitment.

Gu Xintong was their temporary agent before the two formally signed a contract with the agency. Gu Xintong also promised to introduce Chengtian's film and television resources to them, and if other resources contacted them, they would also let Gu Xintong serve as their temporary agent.

Help with signing the contract.

Gu Xintong is not opposed to this kind of cooperation. After all, it was through this method more than ten years ago that Sister Hua gradually became the number one film and television agent in China.

"If you really want to thank me, come with me to Panjiayuan tomorrow."

"Pan Jiayuan? Do you want to buy antiques?"

"Go shopping for office furniture."
