Entertainment: I can refine my acting skills every day

Chapter 55 054. What if I had money?

Su Chen sighed: "The first time we met, you drank red wine at room temperature, that was June 6st, and now it is August 21st."

"That's fine, then I will arrive in Shanghai in two days."

"You should just be safe."

The relationship between Su Chen and Zhao Qingren is already very familiar, and the two of them joked about each other in a moderate way, which was just a kind of fun.

"Yeah, I remember it very clearly, but it's a pity I just came here 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 hold back anymore.

After laughing for a while, she talked to Su Chen about something serious: "Seriously, are you really planning to come to Shanghai?"

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

Su Chen said, "Anyway, there's nothing to do these two days."

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

Su Chen joked with a smile: "You can't wait to see me so much?"

"Pooh!"

"It's business. I've been taking over my father's company which is full of holes."

"Ok?"

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

"In the past few years, some scripts have been filmed, but many have not yet been filmed."

"I want to shop for Taobao from inside."

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

After Zhao Qingren finished speaking, he held the phone and waited for an answer.

Only to find that the phone was silent.

"Hey?"

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

"Hello? Miss Qing."

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

"So powerful?"

Zhao Qing was stunned for a moment.

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

……

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

I didn't expect such a good thing to happen to Zhao Qingren when I was bored!

He was very interested in flipping through such old scripts.

Su Chen had thought about it seriously before.

It is absolutely extremely difficult to know that a classic movie is released.

There are many movies whose scripts may have been written for five or six years, but the filming was put on hold because no investors who appreciated the scripts could be found.

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

Even if it is a lot of well-known big directors, they will definitely have at least one script in their hearts that they have wanted to shoot for at least five or six years but have never had the chance to shoot.

Money, time, opportunities, none of them can be bad.

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

As I said before, the domestic system is a director-centered system, but abroad, it is a producer-centered system.

In China, directors go around asking people for money with their notebooks, and after getting the money, they hire a team they are familiar with to shoot.

But in foreign countries, it is true that the producer gets the script of the movie, and then finds a suitable director to shoot it.

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

Sister Qing was originally an independent producer, so she was relaxed by herself.

But if she takes over the film and television investment company that her father used to have, there will be many things. No wonder she has been so busy recently that no one is seen.

And Su Chen's advantage lies in being able to pick out the book that should have shined out of this group of neglected film projects.

Then again, he was too interested in it.

……

The earliest flight from Peking to Shanghai is at [-]:[-] in the morning.

In order to catch the plane, Su Chen woke up after only three hours of sleep.

After sleeping for two hours on the plane, I 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, CN District.

The streets of Shanghai in August are lush with vegetation.

The streets of Shanghai and the streets of Beiping are completely different in style.

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

an hour later.

The taxi stopped under an office building, and when they went up to the [-]th floor, the signboard of Huayang Films appeared in front of Su Chen.

Led by the assistant, Su Chen finally came to Zhao Qingren's office after wandering around in a "maze" of scattered work desks.

She is dressed professionally and smartly today.

Zhao Qingren's hair is tied up, she wears a loose white shirt, black hip-covering skirt, and a pair of black high-heeled shoes. Zhao Qingren's feet are not wide, but rather narrow, and the arc of the feet is slightly arched.

So wearing high heels on this kind of feet is a work of art that every man can't put it down.

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

Before Su Chen took a closer look.

"Huh? Why didn't see you for a few days and came back for nothing?"

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

Feeling very hectic.

The assistant quietly went out and closed the door.

Su Chen glanced at the female assistant's cautious expression, and he said with a smile: "Sister Qing, it seems that you usually look for handsome guys, and your assistant is very used to closing the door."

Zhao Qingren said with a smile: "Fart, like you said, I should change handsome assistants often."

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

Su Chen didn't rest, he went straight to the desk, picked up a few briefcases and opened them.

Time flies by.

Su Chen watched and yawned.

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 well-known big company, it has accumulated a lot of film project books.

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

Until Su Chen opened a relatively shabby briefcase, the name of the movie project book made him suddenly startled.

Immediately afterwards, the memory in my mind was mobilized.

The project book reads:

"October Victoria City..."

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

"Time: 1999."

Zhao Qingren also came over.

Anyone who knows the business knows that the movie project book is actually a PPT for investors to ask for money.

In it, how much money is expected, what are the advantages and highlights of this script, and what is the cast that the director hoped for at that time, all are beautifully written!
But in fact, as long as the investors give money, the director can indeed invite these stars to play.

But when the money was not paid, the so-called cast was pure imagination.

Su Chen frowned, and glanced at the project book.

Just looking at the names of the actors on this script, I immediately know that these people are the most popular actors in Xiangjiang in 99.

But Su Chen knew that the real release date of this movie was in 09, that is, next year.

The script ten years ago was actually released ten years later.

Among the actors that the director wanted to invite, Leslie Cheung and Anita Mui are no longer alive, the star master is also hidden in the world, and Li Jiaxin has long been married as a woman...

"Finally found the treasure."

In 99, the movie was called "October Victoria", and when it was released in 09, it was called "October Siege".

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

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

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

Zhao Qingren took over the ten-year-old project letter and said with emotion: "Ten years of hard work, there are really such persistent people."

But Su Chen felt even more emotional.

Because he knew that the original director of this script was obsessed with restoring the Xiangjiang Central in 1905, replicating the original appearance one by one, so in 99, everyone said he was crazy.

In 99, he wanted 500 million to make this movie.

But in 99, Xiangjiang's most profitable "The King of Comedy" had a total box office of just over 2000 million!
Because of this incident, after a series of problems, the director's spirit had problems, and it was not until 09, ten years later, that his wish was finally fulfilled.

……

"Sister Qing, I think this movie is a bit of a joke, you can use your relationship to get in touch and see if there is a chance."

Su Chen raised her head and said honestly, "It may not make a lot of money, but it won't lose money 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 be able to participate in the role, but director Chen Kexin should want an all-star cast for this film, but unfortunately I am not a star."

When Su Chen saw this movie, he felt very emotional, because he knew the cast of this movie very well!
That is definitely a crowd of stars and piles of big names.

"If possible, it would be good for your company to have a name of joint production, at least some of them can be called masterpieces in the future."

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

He has no name or popularity so far.

That's why when I came back to think about the movies I wanted to win, I subconsciously ignored such blockbusters as "October Siege" and "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", and only considered "Happy", "Nightclub", which many people may have never heard of. low-budget movie.

Su Chen is self-aware.

With his current fame, even if he gets into a blockbuster movie, he may not even have a line. In a low-budget movie, at least there are scenes.

You can climb up step by step.

Zhao Qingren was sitting on the sofa with her arms folded in front of her chest. Her legs were crossed and her toes were shaking slightly.

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

"You really aren't a star yet..."

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

"But what if I have money?"
