Entertainment: I can refine my acting skills every day

Chapter 55 054. What if I have money?

Su Chen sighed: "The first time we met, you drank red wine at room temperature. It was June 21st, and now it is August 21st."

"Okay, then I'll go to Shanghai in two days."

"You should be in the safe period."

The relationship between Su Chen and Zhao Qing was already very familiar. The two of them joked about each other, no matter how big or small, and it was just a matter of fun.

"Yes, I remember it very clearly. It's a pity that I just came today."

Zhao Qingren said deliberately.

Su Chen hesitated for a moment: "Then I'll come back in seven days..."

"Hahahahaha."

Zhao Qingren finally couldn't stand it any longer.

After laughing for a while, she got down to business with Su Chen: "Seriously, are you really planning to come to Shanghai?"

"Well, let's go see you and take a walk."

Su Chen said: "Anyway, I don't have much to do these two days."

Zhao Qingren thought for a while: "Okay, if you want to come, you'd better come tomorrow."

Su Chen smiled and teased: "Are you so eager to see me?"

"Pooh!"

"It's business. I've recently been taking over my father's company that was riddled with holes."

"Um?"

"There are a lot of scripts here, many old script project books and so on, which have been sent by various directors or screenwriters over the years, but due to funding problems or time problems, many of them have been idle."

"Over the years, some scripts have been filmed, but many have not yet been filmed."

"I want to find treasures from inside."

"I have to deal with these things tomorrow. I will be very busy in the next week. I will only have time to see you tomorrow."

After Zhao Qingren finished speaking, he held the phone and waited for a reply.

But I found that there was no sound on the other side of the phone.

"Hello?"

She glanced at her phone: "Is the signal bad?"

"Hello? Sister Qingren."

Su Chen's hurried voice came over the phone: "Don't worry, I'll call and ask about the air tickets."

"So powerful?"

Everyone in Zhao Qing was stunned for a moment.

"Sister Qingren, send me your address and I will call you when I arrive tomorrow."

…

After hanging up the phone, Su Chen was inevitably a little excited.

I didn’t expect that just calling Zhao Qingren out of boredom would lead to such a good thing!

He was so interested in retelling this old script.

Su Chen had thought about it seriously before.

You know, it is absolutely extremely difficult to release a classic movie.

There are many movies whose scripts may have been written for five or six years, but they just couldn't find investors who appreciated the script and the filming was shelved.

In the film and television industry, it is difficult to move forward without money.

Even if there are many well-known directors, they will definitely have at least one script in mind that they have wanted to film for at least five or six years but have never had the chance to film.

Money, time, opportunity, nothing can be lacking.

And Zhao Qingren is a film producer who returned from overseas.

This has been said before. China is a director-centered system, but overseas, it is a producer-centered system.

In China, directors take a book and go around looking for people to ask for money, and then after getting the money, they recruit a team they are familiar with to film.

But overseas producers do get the movie script and then find a suitable director to make it.

To put it bluntly, the hard thing about domestic directors is that they not only do the work of directors, but also the work of producers.

Sister Qingren was originally an independent producer and could easily work alone.

But if she takes over her father's former film and television investment company, there will be a lot to do. No wonder she has been so busy recently that she can't be seen.

Su Chen's advantage is that he can pick out the ones that should shine among these neglected film projects.

Again, he was very interested in this matter.

…

The earliest flight from Peking to Shanghai is at 8 am.

In order to catch the plane, Su Chen only slept for three hours before getting up.

After sleeping on the plane for another two hours, we finally arrived at Hongqiao Airport.

After getting off the plane, Su Chen went straight to the location of Zhao Qingren's new company near Huayang Road in CN District.

The streets of Shanghai in August are covered with lush vegetation.

The streets of Shanghai and the streets of Peking are completely different styles.

Whether it is urban greening or the western style of surrounding buildings, the difference is obvious.

An hour later.

The taxi stopped under an office building and went up to the twelfth floor. The signboard of Huayang Pictures appeared in front of Su Chen.

Under the leadership of his assistant, Su Chen finally arrived at Zhao Qingren's office after walking around in a "maze" of scattered work desks.

She was dressed professionally and smartly today.

Zhao Qingren wore her hair tied up, wearing a loose white shirt, a black hip-hugging skirt, and a pair of black high heels. Zhao Qingren's feet were not wide, but relatively narrow, and the curvature of her feet was slightly arched.

So wearing high heels like this is a work of art that every man can't put down.

Especially when standing on the floor, the snow-white feet and the looming gaps between the toes are very foul.

Su Chen didn't wait to take a closer look.

"Huh? How come you haven't seen me for a few days and you came back for nothing?"

Zhao Qingren looked at Su Chen with a smile. There was a pile of documents and various kraft paper briefcases in front of the table.

It feels very busy.

The assistant quietly went out and closed the door.

Su Chen glanced at the cautious expression on the female assistant's face and said with a smile: "Sister Qing Ren, it seems that you are always looking for handsome guys. Your assistant is very used to closing the door."

Zhao Qingren smiled and said: "Fart, like you said, I should always have handsome assistants."

"Come on, help me look through it and see if there are any good projects."

Su Chen didn't take a break. He walked straight to his desk, then picked up a few briefcases and opened them.

Time flies by.

Su Chen couldn't help but yawn.

Zhao Qingren's father has been engaged in the film and television industry in China for more than ten years. Although it is not a famous big company, it has accumulated a lot of film project books.

Some of them had already been filmed, and Su Chen simply ignored them.

Until Su Chen opened a relatively shabby briefcase, he was suddenly startled by the name of this film project document.

Immediately afterwards, the memory in my mind was mobilized.

The project book reads:

"Weicheng in October..."

"Cast: Stephen Chow, Anita Mui, Leslie Cheung, Eric Tsang, Michelle Reis..."

"Time: 1999."

Zhao Qingren also came over.

Anyone who knows the industry knows that a film project document is actually a PPT specifically used by investors to ask for money.

It will include how much it hopes to cost, what are the advantages and highlights of the script, and what the director hopes for in the cast at that time. Everything is written beautifully!

But in fact, as long as investors provide money, directors can indeed invite these stars to star.

But before getting the money, the so-called cast is just a matter of imagination.

Su Chen frowned and glanced at the project book.

Just by looking at the names of the actors in this script, you immediately know that these are the most popular actors in Hong Kong in 1999.

But Su Chen knew that the real release date of this movie was 2009, which is next year.

The script was written ten years ago, but it was actually released ten years later.

Among the actors that the director originally wanted to hire, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui are no longer alive, Sing Yeh has also disappeared from the world, and Michelle Reis has long since married...

"Finally found a treasure."

In 1999, this movie was called "October Siege", and when it was released in 2009, it was called "October Siege".

Zhao Qingren frowned: "Huh? I know this movie."

Su Chen looked at her: "It should be Director Chen Kexin."

"Yes, it started last year. In the SJ District, it is said that it is to restore the original appearance of Central in Hong Kong in 1906. The investment is not small."

Zhao Qingren took the project document from ten years ago and said with emotion: "It takes ten years to sharpen a sword, but there are really such persistent people."

But Su Chen was even more emotional.

Because he knew that the original director of this script was obsessed with restoring Hong Kong Central in 1905 and replicating its original appearance one to one, so in 1999, everyone said he was crazy.

In 1999, he wanted 65 million to make this movie.

However, "The King of Comedy", the most profitable movie in Hong Kong in 1999, only had a total box office of over 20 million!

Because of this incident, after a series of problems, the director had mental problems. It was not until 2009, ten years later, that his wish was finally fulfilled.

…

"Sister Qing Ren, I think this movie is a bit promising. You can use your connections to contact me and see if there is any chance."

Su Chen raised his head and told the truth: "It may not be very profitable, but it won't be a loss either."

Zhao Qingren frowned and said, "Are you so sure?"

"I'm just suggesting, I think it's interesting."

Su Chen said seriously: "I also really want to participate, but director Chen Kexin probably wants an all-star cast for this movie. Unfortunately, I am not a star."

When Su Chen saw this movie, he was very emotional because he knew very well the cast of this movie!

There are definitely a lot of stars and big names.

"If possible, it would be good for your company to have a joint-produced name. At least it can have some masterpieces in the future."

This movie can be used to make Zhao Qingren's company famous, but it is not a movie that Su Chen will definitely participate in.

So far, he is unknown and unpopular.

So when I came back from rebirth and considered the movies I wanted to win, I subconsciously ignored blockbusters like "October Siege" and "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" and only considered "Happy" and "Nightclub" that many people may have never heard of.

of low-budget movies.

Su Chen is self-aware.

With his current fame, even if he is squeezed into a blockbuster movie, he may not even have any lines. In a low-budget movie, at least he will still have a role.

You can climb up step by step.

Zhao Qingren sat on the sofa with her hands folded in front of her chest. She crossed her legs and swayed slightly on her toes.

She was thinking about something, her eyes always fixed on Su Chen.

"You are indeed not a star yet..."

The high heels swayed, swayed, and then her smooth heels were exposed, leaving only her toes dangling casually.

"But what if I have money?"
