Views:

Ye Zhen remembers Ning Yang's movie in the novel. Apart from Meng Jie, the actors are all little-known young actors, and one of the supporting roles is an extra actor picked up by Ning Yang from the entrance of the film and television city. It took more than two months to select actors. Ning Yang couldn't afford to hire actors with good looks and acting skills. Famous stars even dismissed Ning Yang's scripts. Fortunately, the ones Ning Yang found The acting skills of all the actors are online.

Because the film could not find an investor, the filming of the film was repeatedly postponed. As a last resort, Ning Yang invested all his wealth in this film.

But it was just a drop in the bucket, the crew had no money, and the filming was tight, and many scenes that should have been magnificent were reluctantly abandoned by Ning Yang because of lack of money.

After the movie was filmed, Ning Yang ran around, and the review went online. He had no one without a background. The review materials were reviewed for more than half a year, and then dragged on for about two or three years, and the movie was gone.

Ning Yang almost went bankrupt, and finally had to sell it to a certain video site at a low price. The word-of-mouth reviews were pretty good, but it was a pity that there were very few viewers without publicity. At a certain film festival with great weight, the result was a blockbuster and won the best film award.

It has been ten years since a domestic film won the best film award at the film festival last time.

When the news spread back to China, many people in the film and television circles and movie lovers expressed that they had never seen this movie in a movie theater before. When they learned that it was a movie on a certain video website, they clicked to watch the movie on that video website to refresh the website. highest record.

Many people said that it was a pity that they didn't watch Ning Yang's movie in the cinema. If Ning Yang continued to make movies, he would definitely make up for a movie ticket.

But unfortunately, after that, Ning Yang never made any film works again.

Prosperity is bound to decline, Ning Yang's youthful vigor soars to the sky, without background and backing, he pushes too much, is suppressed by jealousy, and finally blocked by others, and has no ambitions all his life.

But these are all the plots in the novel, Ye Zhen forgets about it after reviewing it, now that the Lu family is rich and powerful, she is Ning Yang's backer, this humble and talented new director, she is covered!

Ye Zhen and Ning Yang reached an agreement on the investment. In order to avoid long nights and dreams, Ye Zhen formally signed a contract with Ning Yang on behalf of the Lu family.

The content of the contract includes that Lu is the sole investor of Ning Yang's film and Ye Zhen is the producer of the film. This contract gives Ning Yang the most preferential treatment. Of course, Ning Yang has been an assistant director for seven years. Naturally, he understands that he is not worthy of the various preferential treatments that the Lu family has given him for the time being.

But Ye Zhen repeatedly told Ning Yang that as a director, the most important thing is to shoot, and he should not take care of anything other than shooting.

So, getting sponsorship, looking for investment, setting up a crew, and choosing actors fell on Ye Zhen.

The Lu family is rich and powerful, sponsors and investment are fully covered, Ye Zhen doesn't have to worry about it, Ning Yang has been an assistant director for seven years, and he also has his own people in the crew, Ye Zhen doesn't need to worry about this, the only thing that Ye Zhen has to do is to choose actors check.

At present, the main force in the film market is young and middle-aged people with working ability. People of this age group are not picky about the requirements of movies. The box office won't be too bad.

In the novel, Ning Yang couldn't get the original crew Ma Yezhen together, but there are countless capable actors and stars in the entertainment industry, so can't they get together a crew

Ye Zhen didn't do it herself to contact the actor, so she asked Qin Zhiyin from the public relations department to contact her.

Thinking of Qin Zhiyin, Ye Zhen feels a little ashamed of Lin Zhan. After all, Qin Zhiyin is Lin Zhan's right-hand man. It's not kind to dig someone up without saying a word, but Qin Zhiyin is capable of Ye Zhen. She has seen it before, public relations crisis, there is no industry she can't handle, and the entertainment industry is even easier.

Ye Zhen sat across from Qin Zhiyin and said with a smile: "Miss Qin, I heard that you have been a celebrity manager for a while?"

This experience only lasted for one year, and the celebrity who brought her debut kicked her away one year later to join another famous manager. It was also in that year that Qin Zhiyin saw through all kinds of things in the entertainment industry. Rules, determined not to contact anyone in the entertainment industry directly, and went behind the scenes to deal with the public relations crisis.

"One year of experience."

"I think you should be clear about the company's investment in movies. It's like this. It's not convenient for me to come forward for some things, but I don't feel at ease for others to come forward. So I may need your help on something here."

"Mrs. Lu, just say, as long as I can do it."

Ye Zhen took out a piece of white paper, on which about a dozen names were written from top to bottom.

She handed the blank paper in front of Qin Zhiyin, "These are all actors with superb acting skills. Although many actors have been depressed so far, their strength should not be underestimated. I would like to ask you to contact these actors and hand over our script. To these people, make sure they consider being part of the film."

When Ye Zhen said this, Qin Zhiyin quickly browsed through the list. Ye Zhen is right, in Qin Zhiyin's memory, most of these people are not famous enough, and many of them are struggling to play supporting roles, but the matter of superb acting skills...

"Mrs. Lu, with all due respect, are you sure these people have superb acting skills?" Qin Zhiyin was skeptical.

Ye Zhen: "You will know it after you have contacted it, but before the dust settles, don't let too many people know about it, let alone reveal that I am the producer."

"Why?"

Ye Zhen thought for a while, "You will know this later." Ye Zhen understands the truth of being a big tree, and it is inevitable that her series of operations will not make people think too much. Lu Beichuan trusts her, but what about others

Qin Zhiyin nodded, and then proceeded to do it.

Qin Zhiyin, a young actor in the seventh and eighth ranks, finalized the contract without spending too much effort. The only male lead chosen by Ye Zhen gave Qin Zhiyin a headache.

After all, this appointed male lead has received rave reviews online, cheating with his heart, drinking and beating others to play big names, if he didn't understand the hidden rules of the entertainment industry, Qin Zhiyin might really believe it.

The appointed male lead is Guan Ming, with a handsome appearance. At first glance, he is not an unforgettable handsome guy, but upon closer inspection, he is also a good-looking guy. He has not been acting for ten years, and he seems to have offended someone recently. The whole network is black, the brokerage company had to stop all his work, and now he is idle at home with nothing to do.

Qin Zhiyin contacted his brokerage company, and the brokerage company was also a dubious one. The company with black material on Guan Ming did nothing except issue a clarification statement. When the company learned of Qin Zhiyin's intentions, they immediately contacted Guan Ming. Let him come to the company.

After all, Qin Zhiyin gave a generous reward.

The first time she saw Guan Ming, Qin Zhiyin knew that Ye Zhen's vision was right. The person in front of her didn't lack the qualifications of being popular, what she lacked was just an opportunity.

"You said, you want to invite me to be the lead actor in the movie?" Guan Ming glanced at the script in front of him without opening it, "Director Qin, I think if you understand my current situation, you might not I have this idea."

"Unfortunately, I just learned about your current situation. I know that you are full of negative news and you are at home. If it were me, my first choice would not be you. However, my boss thinks that you are the best male lead in this movie." A good candidate, specifically asked me to come to the company in person and give you the script." Qin Zhiyin said with a smile: "My boss said, if Mr. Guan is still indifferent after reading the script, let me take it back."

Guan Ming's manager was sweating profusely on one side. For a company like Lu's, it would be enough to feed you for a lifetime. Guan Ming is so ignorant of good and bad! If Qin Zhiyin hadn't called for Guan Ming by name, he would definitely not have given up such a script and such a backing to Guan Ming.

"Director Qin, that's not what Guan Ming meant. Don't look at the random rumors on the Internet these days. They're all just chasing rumors. Brother Guan is not a cheating alcoholic. He doesn't drink at all!"

Qin Zhiyin smiled, "I understand."

Guan Ming has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, and he has taken a lot of light on it. He did not reply to Qin Zhiyin directly. After a moment of silence, he asked: "Director Qin said just now that your boss specially asked you to come to contact me, and your boss specially appointed me to do this for you." Male number one, can I ask, who is Director Qin's boss?"

Guan Ming didn't think that Lu Beichuan of the Lu family had such a good leisure and elegance, so he specially asked the director of a department to contact himself, a third- and fourth-tier star, in his busy schedule.

Thinking of Ye Zhen's words, Qin Zhiyin said in a low voice, "If you are willing to take this role in the movie, you will know it in the future."

Guan Ming was silent.

Guan Ming was not optimistic about a director without any independent filming experience and a company that had never set foot in the film and television industry.

"Then I'll contact you after reading the script."

"No problem." Qin Zhiyin didn't say much, chatted a few words and left.

She sees too many people in the entertainment industry, and she knows people like Guan Ming very well. She has long looked down on things in the entertainment industry, and now she is still in the entertainment industry because she has a little love for acting.

She believed that Guan Ming would not let this script go.

Sure enough, she had just returned to Lu's, but within an hour, she received a call from Guan Ming.

What Guan Ming said on the phone was very clear, he wanted to play the role.

"Okay, Mr. Guan, then I am going to sign a contract with you. I will discuss the details of the contract with you."

After speaking, Qin Zhiyin crossed out all the names on the list, and the task Ye Zhen gave her was perfectly completed.

But there is no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world. Just as Lu Corporation was preparing contracts one after another, the news of Lu Corporation's investment in movies spread like wildfire.

According to media reports, they secretly speculated whether Lu's investment in the film industry meant that he wanted to start developing the entertainment industry.

But after that, many marketing accounts got news that Lu's invested 50 million in Ning Yang.

No one knows who Ning Yang is, and his resume is even rarer. The only filming experience of several TV dramas and movies is as an assistant director.

Many people in the circle think that it is unbelievable that the Lu family spends a lot of money on a little-known director. Most of them think that the Lu family has too much money, and they don't know how to spend it, so they are in a panic.

But that's fine if the rumors are true.

During the period when Qin Zhiyin was busy getting in touch with actors, the trend on the Internet was biased at some point, saying that the movies Lu invested in were eye-catching content, and that Lu had contacted many popular florets just to Satisfy your own selfish desires.

What kind of ambiguous attitude, what kind of hotel room, what kind of exorbitant salary, what is being said is groundless.

Many people shouted to Lu Beichuan from the air to let him concentrate on his work.

These rumors were told by Ye Zhen to Lu Beichuan, "Mr. Lu, congratulations, I am happy to mention the title of domineering president."

Before Lu Beichuan could speak, Ye Zhen said very self-aware, "Then I am the little white flower who is being taken care of by the domineering president."

Helplessly, Lu Beichuan shook his head and laughed.

Of course, Lu Beichuan's handling of the rumors flying all over the sky is also very simple, the lawyer's letter.

After all, his eight-figure legal team a year cannot be wasted.

After the lawyer's letter was issued, some marketing accounts were not so happy, and many self-media satirized the professional account of Lu's lawyer's letter openly and secretly.

While many fans rejoiced that their idols were not killed by the Lu family, many celebrities were trying to test out their relationship with Lu's people and try to find out their words.

Outsiders only see that the Lu family has never set foot in the film and television industry, and think that once they do, they will lose their money and lose all their money. But no one who is really sober knows that no matter which industry the Lu family is a newcomer to, they are all developing like the sky.

The Internet industry has never been in contact, but within a year of acquiring the company, it has developed into an Internet industry giant.

The perfume company was on the verge of bankruptcy, but now it has launched a brand in the domestic market.

There are other similar industry companies, which have been rising steadily under the acquisition of the Lu Group, and the market has now doubled many times.

Lu's background is solid, even if he stumbles in the film and television industry, it's nothing more than root wool, nothing serious.

A little-known little director can still have 50 million investment funds, which is enough to show Lu's confidence and determination to enter the entertainment circle.

But to the disappointment of those snoopers, the Lu family didn't seem to have much interest in them. Even if many popular stars expressed their willingness to cooperate with the film they invested in, they only received a polite refusal.

This made many stars mistakenly think that the Lu family is probably going to spend a lot of money to invite famous actors to support the movie. After all, this is the first step for the Lu family to enter the entertainment industry, and no matter what, they can't lose.

Everyone was eagerly looking forward to the list of movie cast members, and after two months, people were surprised.

The list of movie actors leaked out. Except for the hero and heroine who are acquaintances in front of the screen, everyone else is some little-known little actors, and there are even walk-on actors who have never heard of the name

The heroine, Meng Jie, is a product under Lu’s, so it’s only natural for her to praise her. For so many years, most of the actors who played the male lead have been active in the “divine dramas” that have been complained about by the audience. Those who can provoke the leader, and some people roughly calculated the salary of the actors of the entire crew, and it is estimated that it will not exceed seven figures.

People in the circle were in an uproar, and they were not optimistic about Lu's move, and expressed no expectation for the movie.

There are also some people who are not reconciled, thinking that it is a waste to choose these actors for a movie costing 50 million yuan. Rumors spread on the Internet that these actors are fabricated or specious black materials, trying to make the crew consider the candidates again. The black material dug up by the actors is flying all over the sky, and many comments are flooded on the crew's Weibo.

"Let this kind of cheating and playful man be the leading man, it's better to let my XX play the role!"

"Is the Wannian supporting role who can't be popular really suitable? Burning money is not like this!"

"Before I saw the cast list, although I didn't like this movie, I still looked forward to it for Lu's investment of 50 million yuan, but as soon as I saw the cast list, I knew I was wrong. Such actors The lineup is waiting to hit the street."

"What about XX, who has been praised by many directors for his acting skills? It's much better than the male lead you chose, and the salary is not expensive~"

"Meng Jie has been out of the entertainment circle for four years, will she still act now? Passers-by are skeptical."

"Doubt 1, it's better to let XX act. He has good looks and acting skills. He is younger than Aunt Meng and more famous than Aunt Meng. He will definitely be able to carry the box office!"

These words of the navy are combined into two words, which are unworthy.

Facing this right and wrong, Mrs. Lu responded.

"Choose out of thousands, choose one out of a hundred."

Lu's direct behavior made the crew heave a sigh of relief, especially those actors who were invited by Lu's.

Which actor in the entertainment industry doesn't want to be famous, but the right time, place and people are indispensable. Many people have been in the entertainment industry year after year, but they can't see hope.

To them, the Lu family is a pie that fell from the sky.

The script was not rumored. After reading the script, these actors immediately made up their minds to join the filming team. They knew that with Lu's support, this would be an excellent opportunity, but the turmoil on the Internet made these people feel uneasy. They are all telling the truth, they are not well-known, and they will not be able to promote the movie in the future. They are afraid that Lu's side will see the public opinion and replace them.

After all, Lu's is not a poor company.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Lu directly pissed off those people for them and gave them a reassurance.

At the kick-off banquet, Ning Yang was so drunk that he raised his glass and looked at the cast and crew sobbing for a long time. The expensive shooting equipment and the empty shooting location were something he never dared to imagine in his life. If there is no Ye Zhen Investment, it is impossible for him to have this opportunity in his life.

"I am very honored to shoot the first film of my life with you in the next five months. I know that everyone is skeptical about my ability, but I will use the next five months to film my first film. Months will prove to everyone that I will never let down everyone's efforts!" Speaking of this, Ning Yang raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, receiving a round of warm and encouraging applause.

He wobbled and sat down, had a drink with the leading actor Guan Ming, "It's a pleasant cooperation."

Guan Ming smiled and drank it with him, "It's a pleasant cooperation."

"The Qinhuai Riverside" starts here.

Because of the movie, Ye Zhen has been busy for half a year. It's her first time as a producer. She has a lot to learn, so she can't handle it casually. Of course, she has more working hours, so she doesn't stay at home every day like before.

After the movie started, Ye Zhen returned home early from the company. As soon as she got home, she saw the servants coming and going. Seeing Ye Zhen, Aunt Yue whispered: "Madam, you are finally back."

"What's wrong?"

"Porridge is sick, and the doctor is checking upstairs."

Ye Zhen was startled, and hurried upstairs. At this time, the doctor's examination was coming to an end, and while packing up the equipment, she told Mrs. Lu something.

"Mom? What's wrong with porridge?"

For a long period of time, Ye Zhen went out early and came back late, Madam Lu took the porridge with her. Maybe it was because of the cold weather recently. In the morning, when the concubine was breastfeeding, the congee vomited and cried, and the temperature on her body was not normal. When I came to the doctor, it turned out that I had a fever.

The doctor explained patiently, "Mrs. Lu, the weather has become colder in the recent change of seasons. Children's immunity is weak. Colds and fevers are very common. Now there is nothing wrong."

Ye Zhen touched Congee Congee's head and felt that her body temperature was abnormal.

Mrs. Lu was still worried on one side, "Doctor Chen, if this is the case, you don't want to go back tonight. I'll send someone to clean up a guest room and come out. You can stay overnight and wait until the porridge is better tomorrow before you leave. Can you see it?"

Dr. Chen is the Lu family's personal doctor, and it's not uncommon for him to live in the Lu family in the past.

"Good Mrs. Lu."

Mrs. Lu asked Dr. Chen to take a rest in the guest room, turned around and sighed, "Tell me about your husband and wife, each of you doesn't touch the house, and you don't even know when you are sick. Tell me, it's work. Is it important or the child?"

Mrs. Lu has never spoken harshly to Ye Zhen, but recently she has some complaints about Ye Zhen's going out early and returning late.

Ye Zhen knew she was ashamed and did not refute, "I'm sorry mom, I will care more about porridge in the future."

Mrs. Lu sighed, but didn't say much after all.

Maybe it's the nature of mother and child, when Ye Zhen came, Congee woke up, her cheeks were reddish, she was sleepy and out of spirits, she stared at Ye Zhen with a pair of big round eyes.

Maybe it's because of discomfort, or maybe it's because I haven't seen my mother for too long, I feel wronged, my mouth is pursed, and I burst into tears when I saw Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen quickly hugged him distressedly, shaking him carefully.

Congee Congee is almost one year old, and he has grown up a lot compared to when he was just born. Although his face is still chubby, he can see the outline of the face and the facial features. With the shadow of Lu Beichuan, day after day, he looks at Ye Zhen Also more and more dependent.

Once held in Ye Zhen's arms, Congee puffed up on Ye Zhen's shoulder and cried loudly.

"Porridge, good boy, mom is here, stop crying." Ye Zhen stroked his back, trying to comfort him.

Congee gradually stopped crying after hearing this, and only choked up sobbing, carefully rubbing against Ye Zhen's shoulder, shrugging her small body, which made Ye Zhen's heart ache.

Yuesao brought the baby bottle, Ye Zhen held Congee and nursed it, looking at those big eyes staring straight at her, remembering that during this time, Congee went out early and returned late. Already asleep, mother and son really have little communication, and I am indeed a negligent mother.

After drinking the milk, Congee fell asleep in Ye Zhen's arms. Ye Zhen has been taking care of Congee in the room, taking a thermometer to measure the temperature from time to time.

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Lu Beichuan finally came back, and was nagged by Lu's mother downstairs, and immediately went upstairs when he heard that Congee Congee was ill.

Lu Beichuan first glanced at the porridge in the crib, then turned his head to the side and it was obvious that he was fast asleep. He touched his son's forehead to feel the temperature, and then took a thermometer to measure it, which was within normal body temperature. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

On the other side, Ye Zhen was lying on the table, already asleep.

During this period of time, Ye Zhen saw Lu Beichuan's dedication to the film crew. Although she felt distressed, she didn't say much.

What she pursued, he just silently supported it.

Lu Beichuan bowed down, wrapped his arms around Ye Zhen's back and knees, and gently carried her back to the room.
