Choose a day to become famous

Lu Yanhe, Chen Bige and Wang Zhong made an appointment to have dinner together.

Regarding this short script, Lu Yanhe said: "Director, have you wanted to shoot this story for a long time? It shouldn't have just been written, right?"

"Well, I wrote a script before, but that script couldn't be filmed, so I took a short paragraph from that script and changed it." Wang Zhong said.

The reason why Lu Yanhe had such an idea was that when Lu Yanhe read this script, he felt that many lines in it did not seem to be written in just a few days. Many places seemed to have been polished at first glance.

"Why can't that script be filmed?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Wang Zhong said: "Now I can do it even if I want to, but at that time it was because I couldn't find investment."

"Isn't it a pity to take it out and make a short film now?" Lu Yanhe asked.

Wang Zhong: "It's such a pity. It's good to be able to make it into a short film now."

Lu Yanhe asked: "Director, can you let me see your script?"

"do you want to see?"

"Yeah." Lu Yanhe said, "I liked your short film script very much after I read it."

Wang Zhong nodded, "Then I will send it to you when I get back."

Chen Bige turned to look at Lu Yanhe and asked, "You don't want to make Director Wang's script into a movie, do you?"

"No, no." Lu Yanhe shook his head quickly and said, "I just want to learn. The director's script is very good. I know that the director has written another script, so I want to read it."

Chen Bige smiled and said, "I thought you were going to add a new item to your huge plan to be shot."

Lu Yanhe immediately said: "Sister Bi Ge, in my huge waiting list, there are two movies starring you."

Chen Bige: "It's only now that I realized how laborious it is to prepare a movie from scratch. In the past, I just received the script and only prepared for the performance. When the time came, I would join the set and leave after filming. Acting thing.”

Wang Zhong smiled, raised his hand and nodded at Chen Bige, "Yan He is such a thief. After using a script to get you on board, he ran away and asked you to take the helm."

Lu Yanhe quickly excused himself and said, "Director, I didn't mean that. It's just that Sister Bi Ge knows many more people in this industry than me. It's easier for her to find people with the script than it is for me."

Chen Bige chuckled lightly and said, "Let's just talk about it privately. I know how many people outside are jealous of me. Just tailor-make a script for me and give me full power. This kind of trust is rare, little one." Lu, aren’t you afraid that I will mess up your script?”

"You are Chen Bige, how could you let the project you starred in be messed up." Lu Yanhe said calmly, "Your name is more precious than mine."

Chen Bige sighed three times in a row.

"I don't accept this kind of unreasonable flattery." Chen Bige glanced sideways at Lu Yanhe, "I just debuted a few years longer than you. When I'm your age, I don't know what I'm doing."

Lu Yanhe asked: "As for the warlord in this short film, do you have a director?"

"I haven't thought of it yet. Do you have any recommendations?"

"I would like to recommend Teacher Jiang Jun." Lu Yanhe said frankly, "With his acting skills, there is definitely no problem in playing this kind of role. Because of his previous surgery, many producers were afraid to use him. This time, "Seventeen" "Layer" has become popular. I heard that some people still have concerns. I want everyone to see that the surgery has not affected him. "

Chen Bige, who has also worked with Jiang Jun, heard this and said helpfully: "Jiang Jun's acting skills really have no problem handling this kind of role."

Seeing that both of them had said this, Wang Zhong nodded and said, "Then ask him to come."

-

Jiang Jun had a very eye-catching performance in the drama "Seventeen Floors" and was highly discussed. However, in terms of the degree of eye-catching role of the character, it was still occupied by Chen Bige and the others.

This drama is very popular now, and the teams of various companies are not idle.

Before, I was worried that this drama was not popular enough and marketing would be useless. Now I am trying every means to gain greater benefits from this popular drama.

Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige have the best character highlights and scenes, and they are "recommended" by the platform, so the investment in this aspect is relatively small.

For Li Yuefeng, Shen Yue, and Lin Chan, this can be said to be their most important battlefield this year.

If they can rely on this drama to come up with a few topics that really break the circle, then they can reap more dividends.

This is true whether it is to further improve your status or other aspects.

Given Jiang Jun's age, the role he plays is not an "idol-type" character that attracts fans, and the agency doesn't think he is worthy of a large investment in exchange for greater commercial value.

Therefore, although the audience who watched this drama knew him and liked his performance, they were not effectively converted into his fans.

Of course, because this drama is indeed very popular, even if he doesn't attract fans, he can still get some dividends from the drama "Seventeen Floors". At least, there are many more programs to invite him.

Jiang Jun pushed a lot.

When Lu Yanhe heard about this, he felt strange.

Although Teacher Jiang Jun is not that short of money, this is not a matter of lack of money, but the exposure opportunity that he finally got. If Teacher Jiang Jun can seize this publicity window, maybe his popularity will increase significantly. It is also very helpful for him to pick up the scenes later.

Lu Yanhe went to ask Teacher Jiang Jun why he didn't accept those programs?

He thought Jiang Jun was a bit aloof as an actor.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Jun said: "The Seventeenth Floor has not been broadcast yet, but the programs that came to me all hope that I can appear in the role of the character in the Seventeenth Floor and record the program as the character in the Seventeenth Floor, so I refused. This is not good and will affect the audience's feeling of watching the Seventeenth Floor later."

After listening to Jiang Jun's explanation, Lu Yanhe had only one feeling in his heart, awe.

The program team made such a request to Jiang Jun because Jiang Jun himself was not famous enough, and wanted to use the popularity of the Seventeenth Floor to increase the topic and traffic of the program.

Jiang Jun refused to record the program with this image in order to protect his character image in the Seventeenth Floor.

Lu Yanhe said: "Okay, Mr. Jiang, I understand what you said, and I will learn from you."

Jiang Jun smiled bitterly and said: "I am not worth learning from."

Lu Yanhe: "I have learned a lot from you, Mr. Jiang, I called you today because there is another thing, I want to ask you to help me play a role."

Jiang Jun: "Okay, I will take over your "Squid Game" and "Wulin Wai Zhuan" later, there is no other play, I always have time, just call me."

Jiang Jun agreed without asking a question.

"Teacher Jiang, it's a short film, not a TV series." Lu Yanhe said, "Director Wang Zhong and I and Sister Bi Ge have a movie to shoot. Before that, we want to shoot a short film to see how it feels. There is a warlord role in it. There are not many scenes, but the requirements for the actors are very high, so we want to ask you to help play it."

"Oh, such a big cast." Jiang Jun said with a smile, "I'm taking advantage of you again."

"What do you mean by taking advantage?" Lu Yanhe said, "I'm relieved that you can help."

Jiang Jun smiled and said nothing more.

Of course, he knew exactly what was going on.

-

Although it was a short film, it would cost a lot of money to shoot it with this crew.

Xin Zixing specifically discussed cooperation with several brands. They had nothing else to do, just hoping that their own brands could show up in the film.

But this short film is a film with a background in the Republic of China, how could it show up?

Xin Zixing read the script for a long time, and kept communicating with director Wang Zhong's team. Finally, she got a sponsorship from a camera brand.

The premise of the sponsorship is that the film's camera equipment must use products of this brand, and after the short film is released, it must be specially named with the name of this brand, indicating that the whole film was shot with this brand of camera.

But this sponsorship is not enough, Xin Zixing went to report to her leader and strive to get the rest of the filming funds.

She said: "Although this is a short film, it will definitely attract a lot of attention and can bring a lot of traffic to our Yemai.com."

In order to convince the senior management, she made three reports, and finally relied on her reputation in the past few years to get such a fund approved.

There are ways to shoot a short film with hundreds of thousands of dollars, and there are ways to shoot with millions of dollars. Of course, there are ways to shoot with tens of millions of dollars.

For this short film, Wang Zhong is the director, Lu Yanhe and Chen Bige are the leading actors, and the remuneration of the three people cannot be low.

It is unknown how much economic return such a short film can bring.

Unlike feature films, short films do not have a mature sales channel.

In fact, short films rely on certain funds or advertising sponsorship to survive to a large extent.

However, on the other hand, short films are the "must-go" for many directors when they first enter this industry.

It is rare for a director to be able to shoot a feature film right from the start.

Especially author-type directors or film festival-type directors, they all start with short films.

Xin Zixing feels that "City Travel Notes" is a stable program, but what else can be done besides this?

Xin Zixing thought of this short film plan.

She combined her own advantages and strengths, and accumulated a lot of artist resources, advertiser resources and local government resources in the past few years. That combination, in fact, the "short film plan" is the most suitable place for her to go next.

For example, some local governments want to shoot local promotional videos, and some advertisers want to customize advertising videos for their products, and so on. These are all people who have come to her and talked about cooperation, but she didn't take it because of her work arrangements at the time.

Now Xin Zixing wants to do this.

On the one hand, she can discover some talented and capable directors and help the industry see them through such short films. On the other hand, she can also expand her career, not just limited to the field of a city documentary.

Huang Kairen has already made a plan to make his relationship public and is ready to announce it on the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Xin Zixing thought, then she can stand beside Huang Kairen in a serious manner.

She doesn't want others to think that she is a dodder that must rely on Huang Kairen to exist.

She can also provide help to Huang Kairen.

She has her own strength.

It happened that at this time she knew that Lu Yanhe and Wang Zhong wanted to try shooting a short film.

Xin Zixing keenly realized that this was a good incision for her to start the "short film plan".

So, she contacted Lu Yanhe as soon as possible.

-

"The down payment must be paid before this Friday, Sister Miao. It's not a matter of two days early or two days late. They are just waiting for our money to come." Xin Zixing urged the financial department to pay the money while getting out of the car and walking into the studio in front of her in high heels.

Lu Yanhe and the others are trying makeup here today.

She came here specially to see.

"Hello, director." Xin Zixing smiled and stretched out her hand to shake hands with Wang Zhong when she saw Wang Zhong. "Are they putting on makeup?"

"Yes, they are still putting on makeup." Wang Zhong looked at the girl with exquisite makeup in front of him. He had been in contact with her these days. He had seen the girl's execution ability and even thought about digging her to his place.

But after knowing her position in Yemai.com, Wang Zhong gave up this idea.

There was no way she would give up everything in Yemai.com and come to work for him.

Xin Zixing asked, "Director, when are we going to shoot this short film?"

Wang Zhong said, "We have to wait until Xiao Lu finishes filming "The River of Silence", which will probably be in October. After he finishes filming "The River of Silence", he will have to record the third season of "Young Days."

Wang Zhong was very clear about Lu Yanhe's future arrangements.

Xin Zixing nodded, "Okay, then we have relatively ample time and are not so nervous."

At this time, Lu Yanhe and his friends came out.

In addition to them, there were several other characters who only had one or two lines or one or two shots, but they all came here to do their styling today.

Wang Zhong looked at them one by one, and he did not lower his requirements for details or other aspects because it was just a short film.

Lu Yanhe, Chen Bige and Jiang Jun talked about some things during the filming of "Seventeenth Floor". I don't know what they talked about, but they suddenly burst into laughter.

Everyone looked at them in surprise.

Xin Zixing noticed that the little actors looked at Lu Yanhe and his friends with more or less envy and yearning.

Especially when they looked at Lu Yanhe.

Compared with Lu Yanhe's age, they were only slightly older, but his current status was far beyond their reach.

Xin Zixing smiled slightly and said nothing.

She understood their feelings.

At this time, she heard Wang Zhong say to them: "Everyone, think about it more, don't wait for me to tell you, although there are not many scenes, but if you act well, you will still get good shots, don't waste any shots." (End of this chapter)
