The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 28 Tang Xin's Love Investment
After struggling all afternoon, Chen Jingxing finally decided on the final candidate.

It was a boy named Yan Zhihao.

I’m not a child star, but I’ve only shot some print advertisements. Strictly speaking, a child’s clothing model is a very hard job. Children’s clothing modeling is especially hard. I often spend a whole day in a shoot, changing [-] sets of clothes. Of course, the income is not bad. But the golden period is relatively short. Once you become disabled, of course you will bid farewell to the modeling career. If you are over ten years old, you will not be able to get a job.

Yan Zhihao is already 12 years old. Although he has no long-term disability, his workload has also been greatly reduced. At this time, when he meets a movie role on the screen, even if he has no acting experience, he auditioned with his mother and agent.

The reason why Chen Jingxing finally chose Yan Zhihao was not because his smile was the weirdest, terrifying and evil, but because he had a cute appearance and temperament, which made people feel very harmless, and could paralyze the audience, and was more conducive to amplifying the contrast caused by the reversal of the plot. Of course The expressiveness of the camera is also very good. It may be because of his work experience as a child model. Yan Zhihao's expressiveness is better than many child actors who have experience in acting in film and television dramas.

As for acting skills, the role itself doesn't have many scenes, not even many lines, so it's not that important.

The finalization of the last character means that the project of "Fatal Identity" is ready, and the formal production process can be started.

Because this movie is a joint production of Huanshiwang and DreamWorks, the entire crew was also agreed upon by both parties. Xu Wenshen and Zhang Jingyan have already discussed this aspect.

The main members of the crew are still based on DreamWorks, and the art design, modeling design and visual effects are provided by Huanshi.com. Huanshi.com has also participated in the filming of many TV dramas, and there are still talents in this area.

The director is Chen Jingxing.

Huanshi.com will send a producer, and Xu Wenshen will be the executive producer.

In addition, there are two supervisors of Huanshiwang and two supervisors of DreamWorks.

The producer Zhu Yuntao sent by Huanshi.com originally proposed to set up a studio to shoot, but Chen Jingxing rejected it.

Chen Jingxing understood the level of Huaguo's film industry at this time, that is, there was no industry.

If it is on the other side of the ocean, shooting in a studio can definitely complete the production of this movie. The main scene of "Fatal Identity" is a guest house next to the national road. The easiest way is to build a guest house. The scene of heavy snow blocking the road uses a snow machine Increase the size of the fan, post-processing special effects, in fact, this is the conventional way of making movies in the mature film industry.

But it’s not that Huaguo’s film industry is immature. If it’s filmed in this way, Chen Jingxing is very afraid that he won’t get the effect he wants after spending all the money. This is not without precedent. Maybe other directors can accept it and barely pass effect, but he could not accept it.

Chen Jingxing decided to shoot on location, and the shooting location has already been selected. It is at a service station on a certain national road to Tibet in Ninghai Province. There are two guest houses around the service station, and there are both shooting locations and accommodation places.

Although the shooting environment will be more difficult, it is estimated that the shooting time in the guest house will not exceed half a month, so it is okay.

"Brother director, my mother and I would like to invite you to dinner tonight, brother, do you have time?"

Yan Zhihao's words interrupted Chen Jingxing's train of thought, as expected of him who grew up as a child model, he spoke very confidently without stage fright at all.

"No need, my brother has been invited to dinner today, hurry home, let your mother come to sign the contract on Monday tomorrow, and try to take as little leave as possible except for filming. In the future, the art test will also depend on the results of the culture class."

Chen Jingxing sent the little ghost away with a smile. This kid was the only one among all the children who came to audition to call him the director's brother, and the others called him uncle.

He swears that the kid was never chosen for that reason.

……

After Chen Jingxing returned home, he washed his face and changed into a loose T-shirt. The main reason was that the floor heater was a little hot. He went to the door of 1502 next door and knocked lightly a few times.

"The door is unlocked, come in."

As soon as I opened the door, I saw a table of not-so-rich dishes.

Four dishes and one soup.

The dishes are served on large plates, and the portions are not many.

Chen Jingxing sat down with surprise on his face: "Wow! Such a sumptuous meal, good craftsmanship, which restaurant did you order?"

"Hehe." Tang Xin showed a smirk: "The effect of irony is too low-level. You have also seen that in my kitchen, apart from microwave ovens and rice cookers, I don't even have a gas stove or an induction cooker. , do you dare to eat it?"

"...Then why are you wearing an apron?"

"...The sense of ritual is also very important."

Tang Xin took off her apron and brought two bowls of rice to the table.

"Is the rice also ordered?"

"?? May I have a rice cooker?"

Chen Jingxing pointed to the pile of plastic lunch boxes beside the trash can: "What is that?"

The bottom two plastic lunch boxes were clean, with a few grains of rice still stuck to the inner walls.

"...Director Chen, you are here to eat, not to solve a case." Tang Xin had such an unreasonable expression on his face.

"I haven't cooked for a long time, and I put a little too much water... Haha, I'm lying to you, I don't have rice at home, don't worry, the dishes I ordered are what my colleagues and I often eat. They are all home-cooked dishes, salt oil Not too much."

"What you and your colleagues often eat...couldn't be your cafeteria?"

The last time we talked at Chen Jingxing's house, the office building rented by Tang Xin's "Xiang Shi" company has a cafeteria for the company staff in the office building. The rent is high because there is a cafeteria.” Of course, the cafeteria is not free, and the price is slightly cheaper than outside. The main reason is that there are many types of food, and the taste is not too heavy.

"...Director Chen, you are a diner, you should be grateful, understand? When I went to eat at your house, did you complain about your cooking? No! It's just good food, don't ask the bottom line."

"So it's really bad for me to cook?"

"I just made an analogy."

"Huh? Where's Qi Qi? Why haven't I seen you?"

"Oh, isn't today Sunday? I finally found time to have him neutered, and he's still lying in the kennel in the bedroom."

"...the anesthetic hasn't passed yet?"

"It's been a long time ago, maybe he is sad... But it may also be grudges, I told him to ignore me."

"Why do you suddenly want to invite me to dinner today?"

Tang Xin looked indifferent: "Hey, isn't this courtesy? You treated me twice, so I'll pay you back."

"Oh."

... oh what do you mean?Did you see through my intentions?
Tang Xin looked suspiciously at the handsome guy who was eating rice, please, I'm not good at guessing other people's minds, especially men's.

Tang Xin recalled what happened yesterday while distressed by the "needle in the bottom of a man's heart".

Yesterday, her cousin Cheng Sister Yao came to her place to walk the dog. She met Chen Jingxing while walking the dog at night. She ate two meals a thing.

"You mean nothing else happened, he invited you to dinner for no reason?"

Cheng Sister Yao blinked her eyes and asked.

"That's right, I just helped me out with the dog once and then treated me to dinner." Tang Xin skipped his embarrassment of drunkenness.

Sister Cheng murmured: "Then he is interested in you, Old Tang, you are lucky to come to the door."

Serious face: "Old sister, tell me the truth, what are you thinking in your heart?"

Tang Xin's expression was resolute: "I don't think about anything. You also know that I carry several million mortgages. Now is the critical moment of my career. I don't have the energy to devote to my relationship."

"Repaying the mortgage doesn't hinder dating, does it?"

"You haven't left school, you don't understand, career and love still hinder each other for women."

"Okay, I don't understand, so you don't have any thoughts in your mind?"

Tang Xin smiled: "Do you know how old he is?"

Cheng Sister Yao had a serious expression on her face: "...No way? Isn't he the director? How young can he be? Two years younger than you? Three years?"

"Four years!"

"...Age is not a problem either, the female senior holds diamonds."

"...Don't invent idioms. Age means many problems. There is a gap between the age of 26 and the age of 22 in the positioning of a relationship. At my age, regardless of career, even if you have to spare time, energy and money to talk about a relationship , I must have the result, just like you got the equity in the last round of financing, you must want it to go public.”

Tang Xin's serious tone was as if she was explaining a business plan: "The 22-year-old only needs the process. He is an angel investor in the A round of financing. He doesn't need to persist until the listing. The B round and the C round The D round can let go at any time, and a relationship is just a beautiful journey in his life."

"Wow... what a professional explanation."

Tang Xin rolled her eyes: "And he's a director, do you know what a film director is? I saw his first movie, and the actress who played the leading role...is not inferior to me at all, he In the future, I will meet more and more beautiful female stars, and I will definitely not be able to say, 'Anyway, my family is male, so I won't suffer'."

"I rely on my parents to take out the coffin for the pension and pay me the down payment. I have to bear several million debts to buy a house, so that I can be neighbors with him who bought the house with full money. The two of us are not from the same class, and I have no capital. Take my time and energy as a bet. Any possible relationship between me and him will become the experience value for him to cheat other women in the future."

"Wow...what a pessimistic expectation."

"Hmph, anyway, I won't do the kind of thing that takes a can and slaps my butt hard, and finally opens the lid and pours it into someone else's bowl. Your sister is such a utilitarian person, and I have to make sure there are results in everything I do. "

"Wow...what a wonderful metaphor."

Snapped!
"Sister, what are you doing? It hurts!"
