Chapter 108 Seoul and "Sunflowers"

On the night Cheng Yu'an returned to the capital, all his friends in Beijing hosted a banquet to welcome him.

Except for Qin Hailu who couldn't come for filming in Hong Kong Island, all good friends who could have fun came.

It sounds like Cheng Yu'an has made friends all over the world, but in fact, there are only 10 people in the house.

"Sister Xun, congratulations for being shortlisted in Venice!" Cheng Yu'an joked to Mr. Zhou when he met Cheng Yu'an.

"If Love" is the closing film of this year's Venice Film Festival.

Mr. Zhou rolled his eyes: "There is no nomination again, so what's the congratulations?"

"Let's say this in private, don't say it outside." Yuan Quan pulled her by the side.

"Brother Yu, is "Waiting Alone" going to be released?" Cheng Yu'an asked Xia Yu.

"Well, it will be served on September 9." Xia Yu replied while eating.

"I watched that movie at the film studio, and it's pretty good. If it's not complete, I can get two prizes back." Cheng Yu'an said.

"It doesn't matter whether the award is awarded or not. I like the film and it's fun to act."

"Of course you don't care, you have the Venice Best Actor, you have the Golden Horse Best Actor, you also have the Golden Rooster Best Actor, what do you want!" Mr. Zhou stabbed the knife aside.

"I still lack a golden actor." Xia Yu laughed.

Yuan Quan punched him from the side: "You are teasing her for fun, aren't you?"

"Hey, sister, what is Huang Bo doing now when we ate at your house last time?" Cheng Yu'an asked Mr. Zhou.

"I don't know. I haven't seen him for a long time. I heard that he is still on the set. What, you have a show to find him?" Mr. Zhou asked.

"I don't have a movie to shoot. It's Ning Hao's movie. He has worked on a comedy, and it will start in two months. I'm looking for actors for him now. I think Huang Bo is quite suitable."

"Okay, I'll give you his phone number later. Are you still going to play this year?" Mr. Zhou asked.

Cheng Yu'an shook her head: "I won't shoot anymore, I'm too tired from "Clues to Time and Space", take a break."

"Hey, tell us," Xia Yu moved her buttocks over, "Who is behind the scenes? Don't say no."

Cheng Yu'an looked around and found that everyone was looking at him with curious eyes, even Yuan Quan, who was always dignified, showed curiosity.

"Really want to know?"

"Mmmmmmm!"

Cheng Yu'an licked his chopsticks and said with a smile, "The mastermind behind the scenes is..."

Everyone moved closer.

"You can't say it, you can't say it." Cheng Yuan shook his head and pretended to be deep.

"Cut! It's so boring."

"I really can't say it. I was shocked when I first found out. I didn't expect it to be him, but the upper part is ventilated, and I want to rot this matter in my stomach."

Yes, Cheng Yu'an was interviewed by the head of the General Administration, and asked him to take care of cross-strait relations and not to make this matter too big.

After dinner, Cheng Yuan went home to rest.In the following time, Cheng Yu'an devoted himself to the later stage of "Clues to Time and Space", trying to catch up with the Lunar New Year file as much as possible.

On the other side, Ning Hao approached Cheng Lingfeng and put forward his idea:
"Mr. Cheng, can you see if my script can participate in the 'Rising Star Director Project'?"

Cheng Lingfeng read the script: "The name "Big Diamond" doesn't sound good, why don't we change it?"

"Change to what?"

"How about "Crazy Diamond"?" Cheng Lingfeng explained to Ning Hao, "Look, whether it's Brother Dao's gang of thieves, or real estate developer Feng Dong, plus the chief of the security department, Bao, and Mike, an international thief, they All the crazy behavior is around this diamond."

Ning Hao thought for a while and said, "Why don't you call it "Crazy Stone". I changed the diamond to emerald."

"This name is more ironic, so let's use it." Cheng Lingfeng made a decision immediately, "You should stop participating in the 'Rising Star Director Project'. This movie doesn't cost much, and the company made it for you. Is 500 million enough for you?"

"It doesn't need to be so much, 400 million will do." Ning Hao roughly calculated the accounts before he came.

"400 million is 400 million." Cheng Lingfeng didn't intend to settle accounts with Ning Hao, "Yu'an has already found actors for you, you should finalize the script first, and I will set up a crew for you here. It will be no problem to start filming in two months' time ?”

"No problem." Ning Hao said.

The story of "Crazy Stone" has been conceived by Ning Hao for a long time. The specific script has been polished since the beginning of the year, and I don't know how many drafts have been changed.

Cheng Lingfeng gave it another two months, which was plenty of time.

After Ning Hao left, Cheng Lingfeng took out another script outline from the cabinet.When she was in Hong Kong Island, Cheng Yuan gave her two scripts, one "The Old Thousand", which had already been finished in Hong Kong Island, and the one in her hand was originally intended to be placed in Hong Kong Island, but after the wiretapping incident, the aunt and nephew were very concerned about Hong Kong Island. My impression was so bad that I gave up the idea of ​​filming on Hong Kong Island.

"sunflower".

It tells the story of a small leader of a club who reformed after he was released from prison.

Cheng Yu'an does not plan to direct this script himself, but wants to find a new director to participate in the "Asian Rising Star Director Project".

"Who do you want?" Cheng Lingfeng asked.

Cheng Yu'an searched for directors he knew in his mind:

"I have a senior at level 95. I don't have much contact with him, but I know him. I'll ask him if he has time. If not, I'm looking for someone else." Cheng Yu'an said.

At the level of 95, only Lu Chuan is in the early stage. The rest of them have stayed in school to teach, and some have retired and don't know where to hang out. If they are better, they can make some movies.

Cheng Er was one of those people who didn't know where to hang out.

After graduating in 99, I made a short film and started to go to foreign film festivals. Six years have passed, and I still only have that graduation short film.

The graduation short film "Criminal" accompanied him for 4 years, until 03, Cheng Er was still running the film festival with this film.

Cheng Yu'an found him after going around the academy. Cheng Er described him as thin and sallow, and those who didn't know thought he had some kind of disease, but only those who knew him knew that he was like this.

Cheng Er rented a house with three bedrooms and one living room, where he ate, drank, slept and worked.

It's not too dirty to walk down, but it's also too messy for people to see.

"I said you are not so poor." Cheng Yu'an said as soon as he entered the door.

Cheng Er was able to bring short films to film festivals in the past four years, so he was definitely rich.

But just lazy.

Cheng Er looked up at the door, and didn't recognize Cheng Yu'an for a while, after all, the two of them were nodding acquaintances at school, having had two meals of friendship.

"you are?"

"Me! Cheng Yu'an! The smallest one at level 98."

Cheng Er thought about it, and there was such a junior in his impression: "Oh, it's you. I haven't congratulated you for winning the best director in Venice yet!"

Cheng Er stood up from behind the table, beckoned Cheng Yuan to sit down, and offered to pour water for him.

"Is director Cheng Da coming to see me for something?" Cheng Er asked.

"Brother, do you have any new movies to film recently?"

Cheng Er shook his head: "I have some ideas, but I don't have a clue yet."

"No hurry," Cheng Yu'an knew that Cheng Er was not a prolific director, "I have a script here, I don't know if you are interested."

"I don't shoot scenes written by others." Before Cheng Yu'an could speak, Cheng Er directly refused.

"Look at it first." Cheng Yu'an finished speaking and handed the script outline of "Sunflower" to Cheng Er.

"You have to be interested. Complete the outline. The screenwriter will name you. If you are not interested after reading it, I will turn around and leave." Cheng Yu'an left the time for Cheng Er after finishing speaking.
