The two returned to the office one after the other.
Song Yunran sat back on the sofa with a dazed expression, and took a drink from the paper cup on the coffee table for guests.
The producer touched Qin Ke's arm, and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with Mr. Song? He was alone when he went out, but when he came back he looked so bad, did you coax him?"
"..."
Qin Ke suspected that something went wrong with the producer's going around to raise money and hit a wall. Now that there is a little trouble, he is taken aback, lest he will neglect the precious young master opposite.
He looked at Song Yunran's pale face, and replied in a low voice, "It's nothing to do with me, he just went for a self-guided tour in the haunted house."
Producer:"???"
There is such a luxurious amusement facility as a haunted house around their innocuous film set
On the opposite side, Assistant Tang didn't know what kind of trauma the boss had suffered. Seeing Song Yunran's complexion, he asked softly, "Mr. Song, if you still have concerns, would you like to see how they actually filmed?"
When many producers solicit investment, they always like to hype up the crew, and they don't find out that there are problems everywhere until the actual filming starts.
Assistant Tang is very thoughtful. Since the boss is new to film and television investment, and the crew of "Happy Weddings" has already started operation, why not take the opportunity to investigate on the spot.
Song Yunran was still immersed in the aftertaste of being frightened. In fact, he didn't hear what Assistant Tang was saying at all, so he followed a group of people to the studio on the set in a daze.
After leaving the small building where the props room was located, Song Yunran managed to regain his spirit.
He sat on the VIP seat next to the director, quietly observing the scene in the studio.
Due to the shortage of funds, half of the crew has been dismissed, and the rest of them are used as two people, and everyone is too busy to touch the ground. But even so, looking around, it is orderly in chaos, which shows that the producer and director's overall command ability is quite excellent.
Ten minutes later, the director adjusted the lighting and camera, and picked up the intercom to inform the actors to prepare.
Song Yunran looked at Qin Ke who had just finished putting on his makeup, and couldn't help but recall that it was written in the book that Qin Ke showed his innate talent when he was filming "Happy and Happy", and he often showed his innate talent in the hands of demanding directors. Can amaze everyone.
To be honest, Song Yunran was skeptical about this.
Before he was reborn, he had watched "Happy and Happy Events" in the cinema. The role played by Qin Ke was very difficult to perform. Most of the plots described in the original work were exaggerated by the author to flatter Qin Ke.
He didn't know how enthusiastic his eyes were at this moment, so that Qin Ke misunderstood him, and when he passed by him, he stopped and said, "I don't have your mobile phone with me."
"What mobile phone?" Song Yunran didn't react for a moment.
Qin Ke glanced at him and said, "It's the mobile phone that you disliked when it was dropped on the corpse. I picked it up for you and put it in the office. You probably didn't see it just now. Don't forget to take it later."
Song Yunran choked up for a moment, is it necessary to describe it in such detail, are you afraid that I will forget that horrible scene
But wait, the opportunity seems to be here...
He slowly adjusted his sitting posture, raised his head and asked, "If you memorized the lines, you are here to care about your mobile phone. Do you still want to be a good actor?"
Qin Ke was slightly taken aback when he heard this.
Pretty!
Song Yunran applauded himself in his heart, what a natural operation, it can easily make Qin Ke unable to get off the stage!
Looking at Qin Ke's speechless expression, he must have been so ashamed that he wanted to throw himself into the river.
Oh, but that's all.
Song Yunran felt that he played really well, and continued his efforts: "Let me tell you, I will watch this scene from beginning to end. You'd better show your full strength and don't let me down."
Qin Ke was silent for a few seconds, then nodded lightly: "Okay."
Song Yunran said "um" noncommittally, and the tail in his heart almost went up to the sky.
There is no way, the happiness of the rich is so simple, he leaned back in his chair contentedly, and decided to increase the intensity of humiliating Qin Ke in the future.
After watching the confrontation, the director next to him couldn't help but tremble slightly with his hand holding the walkie-talkie, and looked at Song Yunran with a little more reverence.
He hadn't expected that Song Yunran had high hopes for Qin Ke, so he deliberately raised him harshly, and even took precious time to supervise his filming.
You must know that Qin Ke only played some small supporting roles in other crews when he was in school. This is the first male lead drama he took on, and it has already received such attention from investors...
Is this the relationship between investment bosses and actors
No, this is Bole and Maxima at all!
After realizing this, the director was full of energy, and the "action" when the filming started was particularly powerful.
As the shooting progressed, Song Yunran sat up straight unconsciously.
He kept his eyes on the screen of the monitor, and occasionally looked away to see Qin Ke standing in the center of the field.
The plot being filmed now is that after the heroine died, the protagonist who pretended to be her fiancé received a red envelope prepared by her parents for her son-in-law.
He hid in the bathroom, counted the amount in the red envelope with glowing eyes, but slowed down when he wanted to stuff the red envelope into his pocket.
In a scene without moving positions or lines, everyone present could feel his joy and struggle.
In all fairness, Qin Ke portrayed this character with a completely different temperament from him very well, even more exciting than the one Song Yunran once saw in the cinema.
Song Yunran looked at the director with question marks all over his head, hello, are you there, why didn't you put this part in when editing the film? Doesn't this impress the audience more than the effect of the finished film
The director, who was focused on shooting, didn't notice the strange eyes around him. He was rubbing his chin and feeling that Qin Ke had made great progress.
During the first period of starting the machine, although Qin Ke performed well, he often needed his guidance from the side. As a result, since Qin Ke was injured and fainted once on the set last month, when he woke up again, he seemed to have suddenly awakened, every inch of his expression The grasp has reached the point of perfection.
If he hadn't known Qin Ke's resume clearly, he would have doubted that what he invited was not a newcomer who had just graduated from the film school, but a well-known actor who had been on the battlefield for a long time.
After one shot was shot, the director ordered to change the camera position to shoot a few shots from other angles, and the scene was over.
He gave a thumbs up in satisfaction: "Very well, let's take a rest." After speaking, he asked Song Yunran with a smile, "What do you think?"
Song Yunran maintained the calmness of the domineering president, reluctantly nodded, not wanting to admit that he was attracted by Qin Ke's performance for a moment just now, so much so that he wanted to sit here and continue watching.
When he turned his head, he found that the producer next to him was looking at him expectantly, and then he remembered today's business.
He motioned for the producer to come over and asked, "How far is your current funding gap?"
The producer and the director exchanged glances, and stretched out a finger tentatively: "Can you see it?"
"One hundred million?"
The producer quickly shook his head: "It doesn't take that much, ten million is enough."
Song Yunran was silent for a moment, fully aware of how poor the crew was.
The films and TV dramas he filmed before his rebirth were all big investments and big productions. After his rebirth, all the projects he considered investing in were similar projects. He never thought that the funds for "Happy and Happy Events", which almost cost him, were only a mere 10 million.
Thinking that his debut work was defeated by such a low-budget movie, Song Yunran felt even more uncomfortable.
He glared fiercely at Qin Ke who was in the distance, the halo of the protagonist was really irritating.
Seeing that his face was cloudy and uncertain, the producer could only bend one of his fingers slightly downward: "Otherwise eight million is fine."
The chubby director didn't speak, but just rubbed his hands with a sad face, as if he was afraid that the funds he was about to get would fly away again.
This scene fell in Song Yunran's eyes, but it made him feel a lot of emotion.
Although "Happy and Happy" marked the first step of Qin Ke's brilliant stardom, in fact, in the world of the original work, these crew members are just tool people to promote Qin Ke's popularity, and they have done nothing wrong.
Why should tool people embarrass tool people
Song Yunran decided to give full play to the spirit of mutual assistance among tool people, and he replied straightforwardly: "Just 20 million, and the other half will be reserved for you to do the later stage."
He remembers that when "Happy and Happy" was released, the only thing that was criticized was that the post-production special effects were relatively rough because of limited funds.
The producer and director exchanged glances, thanked each other repeatedly, and were delighted that their house was finally saved.
Song Yunran waved his hand, indicating that they don't need to be too moved, and at the same time ordered: "Assistant Tang, remember to draw up the contract tomorrow."
His answer was a piece of air.
Song Yunran looked behind him strangely, only to realize that Assistant Tang, who had left the studio at some time, was walking in hastily.
Assistant Tang frowned, anxious as if Galaxy Entertainment had closed down, and stood in front of Song Yunran and bent down: "Mr. Song, there is something wrong with the company, and I need to go back and deal with it immediately."
Song Yunran: "What's the matter?"
Assistant Tang said sadly, "Someone wants to terminate the contract."
Song Yunran couldn't understand: "Doesn't everyone else in the company work? If the artist wants to terminate the contract, I still need to do it myself?"
Assistant Tang explained patiently: "This time the situation is quite special. The person who proposed to terminate the contract is called Fang Zhou, and he is the most popular artist in the company. He is already waiting in the conference room and said he wants to have an interview with you in person."
Song Yunran is currently busy managing investment matters, and he hasn't had time to care about who is popular among the artistes under the company. He quickly recalled the contents of the book, and vaguely remembered that Fang Zhou should be a second-tier niche student in the future, but his role was very small, and he belonged to the background role of the entertainment circle in the novel.
But this person is Xinghe's current elder brother, so he can't be completely ignored.
Song Yunran thought for a while, and said, "There's no reason for an artist to come to the boss as soon as he's called. You go back to the company instead of me to see what's going on."
Assistant Tang agreed with him, and asked again, "What about you?"
"I don't want to leave yet, you leave the car keys, and I will drive back by myself later."
Song Yunran's competitive spirit was aroused, and he decided to stay to see if Qin Ke was as powerful as in the legend.
Assistant Tang was taken aback for a moment. He clearly remembered that Mr. Song had checked Qin Ke's Weibo for a long time on the day he joined the job. The crew of "Happy Wedding and Happy Birthday" is so dedicated.
Could it be...
Assistant Tang noticed Song Yunran turning his head from time to time, so he followed his gaze, only to see Qin Ke go to the corner of the studio and unscrew a bottle of mineral water.
Very ordinary picture, do not see what is worth paying attention to.
But in Song Yunran's eyes, what he saw was another meaning.
Now Qin Ke has not signed a contract with a brokerage company, and has no money to hire an assistant, so he can only do everything by himself.
"Tsk, there's no one serving tea after filming," Song Yunran shook his head gloatingly, and said sarcastically, "It's really pitiful."
Assistant Tang: "?!"
Relying on his keen assistant's intuition, he thought that Song Yunran's words were not casual, but must be hinting at him.
After a short while, Assistant Tang's lens flashed a ray of wisdom that penetrated the truth.
That's it, he realized.
