Director, please respect yourself

"Yang Hao..."

"Um?"

"Can I ask you a question?"

"explain!"

"What is your relationship with Liu Yifei? Why does she help you every now and then? First, she helped you promote pig trotters on her personal Weibo, and then you crowdfunded a movie, and she was the first to respond."

Chang Jihong, who was running with Yang Hao on the Beiying playground, spoke first.

Um…

Yang Hao couldn't answer this question because even he was a little confused.

[Former Yang Hao] How did you meet Liu Yifei? And the relationship was so good that Liu Yifei had a drink with him more than once, and she even allowed him to call her by her original name - An Feng!

Chang Jihong is a smart man.

Having been in the industry for 20 years, she naturally knows that everyone has their own privacy, especially celebrities. Therefore, when Yang Hao didn't answer, he quickly changed the topic.

"Yang Hao, crowdfunding to make a movie is a pioneering work all over the world, but if you look at the newspapers published today or go to several major domestic portals, basically no media is paying attention to this. Thing, do you know why?"

"Know!"

This time, Yang Hao replied.

"Tell me?"

"Someone is holding me down!"

"Do you know why?"

"Because I touched some people's cheese." Yang Hao, a runner, chatted easily.

"Making a movie is originally a high-profile matter. Investors invest heavily, hire famous directors, screenwriters, and well-known domestic stars, and then everyone gets together to complete a masterpiece.

This kind of behavior has always been an unattainable dream for ordinary people.

But now, I have appeared. Not only do I want to crowdfund the movie, but I also want to publish every process of shooting the movie on the Internet...

For the film and television industry, this is more or less a decryption.

Oh, so this is what making a movie is all about?

From this point of view, the idol I have admired for many years is actually an ordinary person! "

"Since you know, why do you do it like this?" Chang Jihong was puzzled.

However, after saying that, before Yang Hao could speak, Chang Jihong added:

"Yang Hao, you are so smart, but don't tell me that you don't understand the consequences of this matter. If the movie fails, then everyone will be well. At most, you can add a little laughter to the mainland film and television industry, a boy who doesn't know how high the sky is. That’s all!

But if you successfully shoot a movie, believe it or not, within three to five years, you will be unable to move forward in the mainland film and television industry and even the entertainment industry. "

At this time, Yang Hao smiled.

"Mr. Chang..."

"Um?"

"What do you think I have in the mainland film and television industry now?"

"Nothing!"

Chang Jihong spread his hands and didn't know why Yang Hao asked this question.

But as soon as the words came out of her mouth, she realized it clearly.

yes!

In the mainland film and television industry, Yang Hao had nothing to worry about. If others suppressed him, the worst he could do was go home and sell pig trotters with his father.

Around the 800-meter track, the two ran and chatted. They ran five laps in total before stopping, and then walked slowly along the playground.

"Yang Hao, are you here to take care of me?"

Chang Jihong asked breathlessly.

"Of course, I usually start my running at ten laps." Yang Hao, who was not blushing or out of breath, took out a key from the pocket of his sportswear and shook it in his hand.

"Mr. Chang, after all, you are the one who lent me a house to live in. I don't dare to tire you out."

"Yang Hao, since you have taken over the house I rented, don't you worry that I will use this as a blackmail to let you continue to sign a contract with me?" Chang Jihong asked with a smile, looking at the key.

"Mr. Chang, we don't tell secrets. I knew what you were thinking when you threw the key to me."

"Oh, tell me what I think?"

"Mr. Chang, your idea is very simple, that is [advance to attack, retreat to defend]!

Give me your house to live in. If I succeed, you will not only get a favor, but also get some credit. The rent of this house is 30,000 yuan per year. I, Yang Hao, can't let you spend this money in vain, can I?

But if you fail, you will only lose three or four months of rent at most. Because if the movie becomes obsolete, if I don't sign the contract, you will immediately ask the landlord to take over the house. "

"Ha ha…"

Chang Jihong was a little embarrassed when Yang Hao revealed her thoughts, but she returned to normal in an instant.

"Yang Hao, you are so straightforward! Of course, you are right. If you succeed, I do want to cooperate with you. Remember, this is cooperation..."

However, before Chang Jihong finished speaking, Yang Hao laughed.

"Mr. Chang, you are wrong.

I can't live in this house for free. Instead, I will convert these three years' rent into your investment in "People on the Road".

The one-year rent is 30,000 yuan, and the three-year rent is 90,000 yuan. Well... I will promote it in the video today. Chang Jihong, a famous domestic entertainment agent, also joined the film crowdfunding, and she personally subscribed to raise 90,000 shares. "

"Well…"

After hearing this, Chang Jihong, who was walking on the runway, suddenly stopped.

Damn it...this man is really a grandson!

I just wanted to take advantage of him, but he dared to kidnap me?

……………

It's not that Yang Hao doesn't have the idea or the courage to tie the famous domestic entertainment agent Chang Jihong onto his pirate ship and ask her to help carry the thunder at the critical moment, but it's not necessary at the moment!

The most important task at the moment is to shoot the movie well. If the movie turns out to be terrible in the end, I believe the big guys in the mainland film and television industry won't even take a look at me.

And if you want to make a good movie, you must have good actors.

It doesn't matter how famous the actor is, because he has already made the movie "Unfortunately" known to everyone. Now, even if a big-name actor comes, it will be the icing on the cake.

Therefore, the most critical point is that the actors must be suitable!

Zhang Songwen is a representative of late bloomers in his previous life, and his acting skills can be either sweet or salty. You know, this guy's debut work in 2004, "Cheng Long Kuai Hui", is actually a comedy movie.

Therefore, there is no problem at all in giving him the role of Li Chenggong, the male lead in "The Lost Road".

When it came to the role of the second male lead Niu Geng, Yang Hao was a little worried, because he sat blankly on the chair and thought for a long time, but he didn't find any domestic actor more suitable for this role than Wang Baoqiang.

So, after leaving the Beijing Film Academy playground with Chang Jihong, they had a simple breakfast at home and made preparations at a restaurant in front of the community. Yang Hao, photographer Zhang Jiarui, and lighting engineer Wang Yu took the camera He headed straight to Liangmaqiao, where the headquarters of Huayi Film and Television Media Company is located.

…

The Huayi Film and Television Headquarters Office Building is located to the west of Kunlun Hotel. It is one of the most prosperous areas in Beijing. It is surrounded by high-rise buildings and complete supporting facilities. It is very convenient for public transportation or self-driving parking.

The first floor of the building is an external cinema. Although the screening hall is not large, it is treated like a VIP hall. It is said that watching movies inside is definitely an excellent experience.

Of course, the rest area on the first floor of the headquarters building is also very nice. It is also very good to go in and have a couple of drinks while the audience is waiting for the movie to start.

When Yang Hao arrived, he, Zhang Jiarui and Wang Yu came to the rest area of ​​Huayi headquarters building.

But Yang Hao and others each ordered a drink. As soon as they sat down, someone greeted them.

"Hey... aren't you the Yang Hao who has been quite popular on the Internet these past two days?"
