Darkwalker of the Sky World

"Young Master Jin wants to make a movie?"

Zhou Zhen nodded and said with a smile: "Many of today's movies are shoddy, there is no movie to watch, and I feel anxious, so I want to make it myself. This is my personal hobby, if it weren't for making movies, I wouldn't come here specifically. Magic capital."

Huang Jinrong smiled and said: "Finding boss Huang for a movie is like finding the right person. Whether it's people, venue, or equipment, including the screening, he can get everything covered here."

Zhou Zhen laughed and said, “Since it’s a personal hobby, of course it’s fun to do it yourself. I will shoot the movie by myself, and I will ask Boss Huang for help during the screenings. However, I have another plan. I want to talk to Boss Huang. cooperate."

Huang Chujiu laughed and said, "Young Master Jin has orders, and he will do his best."

Jinrong's wife came over and said with a smile: "Mrs. Jin wants to go to the theater after dinner, why don't we serve food now?"

The two glanced at Zhou Zhen, and Zhou Zhen smiled and said: "Naturally, it is based on the opinions of ladies. We men can do anything."

Huang Jinrong laughed and said, "Have never thought that Young Master Jin would also be afraid of him?"

Zhou Zhen said: "This is not fear, but love. Wife, isn't it just for pets..."

The golden velvet slapped. "Well said, this is love, not fear!"

Huang Chujiu immediately ordered the service staff on the side. "Tell me to go down and serve quickly."

After the arrangements were made, Zhou Zhen reached out to An Changquan and said, "Uncle An, give it to me."

An Changquan handed Zhou Zhen's purse, Zhou Zhen opened it, took out the plan he had written, and handed it to Huang Chujiu. "I want to host a Miss Magic City beauty pageant and form a charity contest. This is a plan."

Huang Chujiu accepted the handwritten plan and looked at it carefully.

Jinrong asked with interest: "Beauty pageant? How to choose? Will you choose the oiran as usual? How can it become charity?"

Beauty pageants have a long history. In ancient times, oiran was chosen every year in brothels.

Magic City has also had beauty pageants over the years, but the targets are all selected from brothels, theaters, celebrities, and celebrities.

Parents of decent people will not show up with their daughters.

Zhou Zhen said: "The purpose of Miss Magic City's beauty pageant is to discover truth, goodness and beauty. All objects must be not only beautiful, but also talented.

We can use the ticket sales system for the preliminary rounds, preliminary rounds, and finals, and half of the ticket money collected will be used to give back to the society.

Moreover, we can sign the contract for the top few selected. Whether you want to sing, act in a movie, or receive bonuses, we can support it. "

Jinrong groaned for a while and smiled: "Young Master Jin wants to choose the harem..."

Zhou Zhen smiled and shook his head, and sighed: "If it's just to find a woman for herself, does it need such a big fanfare? Since we are to do it, we have to make an exit monument. This can be a long time!"

Huang Chujiu had already seen the first one and placed it on the table, picking up the golden velvet and looking at it.

At this look, the smirk on his face faded.

Zhou Zhen's plan is almost the same as the rules of the beauty contest in later generations, except that there is no TV broadcast, in this era, it is a very complete plan.

Both of them are old worlds, and when you look inside, you can know that this plan is not just for picking up girls, but for creating new stars.

From the initial publicity, to the competition process, to the later brand building, there is a sound plan.

I have to say that this is a very complete plan.

Following this rule, the more influential oiran can definitely be selected, and in the later stage, good women can also be attracted to the competition.

Huang Chujiu suspected that this plan was not produced by Zhou Zhen. How could a teenager have such a forward and careful thinking?

The food came, Zhou Zhen and a few women were eating and chatting. Huang Jinrong’s wife was his nobleman, supporting him all the way from a gangster to a tycoon.

The woman's communicative skills were quite good, and she soon coaxed a few women into a smile.

However, Huang Chujiu and Huang Jinrong, the two of them were unwilling to eat, and kept staring at Zhou Zhen's manuscript.

After the meal, several women went to see the performance together, Zhou Zhen and the others also moved to the acrobatics field to see the performance.

But apart from Zhou Zhen, the other two people are not interested in the show and have been studying Zhou Zhen's plan.

Both of them are full of interest in this plan. Perhaps they are not interested in this plan, but in him, the prime minister.

But Zhou Zhen didn't care, as long as they could use it for themselves.

The three discussed for a whole night, and it was not until ten o'clock when the acrobatics field ended, that another appointment was made for the discussion.

On the evening of the fourth day after arriving in the magic city, Zhou Zhen held a small but absolutely high-level dance party in the name of his father in the largest western restaurant in the world.

People from all walks of life in the magic city published news of Zhou Zhen in the newspaper.

Although Zhou Zhen used his father's name, in this era, everyone is accustomed to such things.

The news about Zhou Zhen's opening a film company was also spread by Jinrong. From the next day, many dancers volunteered and found the film company.

Zhou Zhen also wants to find a heroine for the Angel of the Road. His previous lover Qiu Xizhen, although beautiful, but brighter, does not fit the image of the movie heroine, and can only be a supporting role.

The three people negotiated and determined the rights and interests of the beauty contest.

Zhou Zhen made a plan to occupy the name of the chairman.

Huang Chujiu came out of the venue, handed out manpower, and occupied the position of vice chairman.

Jinrong is responsible for the payment and security, and also occupies the position of vice chairman.

This organizing committee will become a fixed organization, and the beauty pageant will be held once a year, and half of the proceeds will be used to pay various expenses and pay bonuses.

The other half of the expenses will be donated after public expenditures, and none of the three will make a cent from it.

All three are for fame, not for wealth.

The two Huang bosses are even more for the prime minister, Zhou Zhen, to give up the village, at least a few years ago, they will not break the contract.

Although there are not many sponsors in this era, there is also a lack of media coverage.

However, the organizers of the previous Oiran Contests can also make a lot of money.

This is mainly because in addition to the ticket money, there is also a big part of the field of flower offerings. In previous Oiran contests, a flower is two silver dollars. In order to support their good friends, those who are rich have offered hundreds or even thousands of flowers. .

This income is much higher than the ticket price.

In addition to agreeing on the procedures for the beauty contest, Zhou Zhen also lost a big benefit, that is, Huang Chujiu sold his Big World Film Company half and half free, and sold it to Zhou Zhen.

Although his film company is not very large, it is a mature and normally operating film company.

There are more than 20 people in the company, including cameras, directors, and assistants.

There are many dancers under his hand, and the profitability of the film company has always been good. This time, a great favor has been left in front of Zhou Zhen.

A week after arriving in the magic capital, Jin Rong accompanied Ouyang mother and son to the magic capital.

An Changquan bought a small building for Ouyang's mother and son not far from his residence. This small building is naturally much smaller, but it is also a single family in the French Concession.

Not only Ouyang's mother and son, but even the comrades he brought can also live.

Zhou Zhen also arranged a servant for them, and took the initiative to bear the cost of this servant.

He didn't know how much Jinquan had compensated them, but since he wanted to make a revolution, no amount of money would be too much.

Zhou Zhen didn't have much affection for Mrs. Jin Quan Jin's parents. He went to the Demon City mainly to avoid them and other brothers and sisters.

For this underground brother, he has no feelings anymore.

He is just a test subject of himself.

Anyway, Zhou Zhen is to create a good environment for them. As for how far they can develop, it depends on them.

After busying for more than half a month, Zhou Zhen was able to entertain all aspects of socializing, and he was happy and ready to make a movie.

After contacting the cameras of this era, Zhou Zhen realized that today's cameras are really too backward, not because some technologies are not available, but conditions do not allow it.

Today's cameras only have the simplest shooting and capturing function, not to mention pushing and pulling the lens, even a horizontal movement will cause the captured images to be spent.

So when shooting, the camera can't move at all and can only adopt a fixed shooting mode.

However, Zhou Zhen also has a solution, which is to find a carpenter with superb craftsmanship to make a telescopic and rotating support frame.

When shooting, the camera does not move, turning the wooden frame, it can also be shot horizontally.

As for the push-pull lens, it is best to make a track, but it has not been successful yet.

From the formation of the crew, Zhou Zhen adopted the model of later generations. He personally served as a producer and adopted a budget system.

From the beginning, each expenditure was determined, and from the beginning, a full-time team of Fuhuadao was formed, with a clear division of labor.

The makeup is an experienced dancer from the New World Song and Dance Hall, and the costume is from a tailor shop. As for the props, there is no such condition and can only handle it.

Then it's recruiting actors...

Many people came to apply, and dozens of beautiful dancers from the New World came all at once.

However, most of them, like Qiu Xizhen, do not fit the protagonist image of a weak woman.

As for the original heroine Zhou Xuan, Zhou Zhen remembers that she was born 20 years ago and is only one year old this year...

After three days of auditions, Liu Zhishen, who played the male lead, introduced a 17-year-old girl in their theatrical troupe to Zhou Zhen.

The girl named Sun Cimei has a soft and sturdy appearance, and she has a standard screen face.

Moreover, she has been practicing basic skills in theatrical troupe since she was a child. Whether it is lines, images, or movements, they all meet the requirements.

Zhou Zhen helped her change her name to Sun Cimei, and gave the theater troupe two hundred silver dollars, bought her contract, and signed a five-year contract with her.

During the contract period, she earns 20 silver dollars a month, and she has an extra bonus for every movie she participates in.

This income is a high salary among ordinary people, but it is not high for actors. After all, Zhou Zhen also spent two hundred silver dollars on her.

Moreover, the five-year contract is very low. Many actors have a contract for 20 years.

She used to work in theatrical troupe, suffering every day, and only five silver dollars a month.

The heroine was in place, and the film soon began shooting.
