Entertainment: Let you go on stage and sell miserably, but didn't make you laugh

Chapter 392 Director Chu, Do You Know Unspoken Rules?
That Zhou Nan was stunned.

what?
He never expected that the big boss Yi Yun meant to directly cancel the investment in Mu Wen's "Storm" TV series.

And the reason why he withdrew this investment was because Chu Yunxuan wanted to direct a similar anti-crime drama.

In order to clear the way for Chu Yunxuan's drama, he even did not hesitate to end the cooperation with Mu Wen's "Storm" directly?

Everyone else is stupid.

He probably knew that Chu Yunxuan must have a background.

It must be because of his background that he talked to Yi Yun before Yi Yun opened the back door.

But he never expected that Yi Yun would be so decisive!

It seems that he still underestimated it.

"That... Yi Dong, this "Storm" is currently a relatively important cooperation on our side..."

Zhou Nan still wanted to fight for it.

After all, he wants performance.

Yi Yun looked at Zhou Nan and said, "Originally, I don't think there's any problem, but when I think about it carefully, it's really unnecessary to invest [-] billion in an anti-crime drama like this. You can talk to them again. Let’s talk, if they are willing to spend less than [-] billion yuan, then continue to invest, if they think it’s not possible, then there’s nothing we can do to help.”

"Understood." Zhou Nan nodded.

Yi Yun looked at Zhou Nan and said, "Well, let's go."

Zhou Nan then left.

After leaving Yi Yun's office, the shock on Zhou Nan's face hadn't disappeared.

"I go."

He couldn't help but was still shocked.

Chu Yunxuan, an amateur, young rookie.

Never directed a play.

It's no problem for him to have this idea. The first one he came up with was the anti-crime drama, which was extremely difficult to dig out the details. At the same time, it cost six to seven billion yuan to invest.

The key is that his company is really willing to play house with him.

"He does seem to come from an ordinary family, or does Dong Yi really trust the script that much? It's no problem for him to trust the script. The script really feels good, but the director is Chu Yunxuan."

In essence, this is also a gamble.

But the director is Chu Yunxuan, so this is playing house.

Therefore, it is impossible for you to make Zhou Nan feel that Yi Yun has no personal support for this matter.

……

the other side.

Muwen is ready to start preparations for "The Storm".

First of all, it must be casting.

He is going to find all the suitable acting schools in the market, the first-line and so on.

Have this capital!
In itself, most of the investment in anti-crime dramas is actors and filming, and there are basically very few special effects.

Since he has the money, he will make the lineup extremely strong, which is also a big publicity stunt at that time.

"Hello, Mr. Zhou, hahaha, hello, Mr. Zhou."

Mu Wen received a call from Zhou Nan.

"Director Mu Wen, hello, have you eaten yet?"

Mu Wen smiled and said: "Thanks to Mr. Zhou for his concern, I just finished eating, and now I am preparing to cast a role for "Storm"."

Zhou Nan then said: "Director Mu, there is bad news..."

Over there, Mu Wen frowned.

"You say."

"About your investment in "Storm" this time, our company's upper management held a temporary meeting and decided to cancel it for the time being."

"what?"

Mu Wen was immediately dumbfounded.

"No...Mr. Zhou, how...how could it be canceled? It's all negotiated and the contract is signed."

Zhou Nandao: "As you know, the decision made by the superiors is that the company pays attention to a profit. They think that your investment in this drama is too large. The key is this kind of drama, such a large investment, the return may not be high."

Mu Wen: "I am still very confident. Although the investment is large, I am confident that the income will also be large. I even think that this drama may become a big hit for the whole Qidian video this year, so some investment is needed. Hard conditions to support."

Zhou Nan: "Understood, I understand, what the company means is that if your investment can be reduced to less than one billion, we will continue to cooperate, Director Mu, this kind of drama, an investment of one billion is still a very large investment." Handwritten."

Mu Wen frowned.

The key point is that he has already calculated this account.

With a sudden loss of [-] million, many of his plans will be disrupted.

Moreover, his show has huge ambitions.

He doesn't want to settle down.

"Mr. Zhou, can't we talk?"

"Hey, I can't help it. You know the meaning of the higher-ups. With an investment of more than one billion yuan in TV dramas, for our company, there may not be one TV series a year. The higher-ups have noticed it."

Mu Wen nodded: "Understood, then I'll think of a way."

"I'm really sorry, you can think about it again, it's still fine within one billion."

"Okay okay."

Zhou Nan: "Then I'll send someone to find you to annul the contract, so I won't bother Director Mu to come here in person."

"Ok."

After hanging up the phone, Mu Wen was so angry that he almost threw the phone out.

"Grass!"

He cursed angrily.

"How can there be such a thing, I am a mud horse!"

The point is, he can't afford to mess with this company.

He didn't dare to tear his face.

Although, the contract clearly stated that before the casting is completely over, or if you are not satisfied with the casting and other aspects, Qidian Group can't see the benefits that this drama can bring, and still has the right to terminate the cooperation. This can be regarded as an overlord clause.

It was there before.

However, he really didn't expect that his investment would be terminated.

Generally, in order to protect their own rights and interests, it is a way that the company can regret.

However, the one who stepped on the horse fell on his head.

Although your capital is really awesome, you can't be so disrespectful, right?

Although you did not violate the contract, you were even willing to give [-] million less investment.

However, Mu Wen just couldn't accept it!
"Made!!"

Anyway, it is impossible for Mu Wen to settle down.

He either doesn't make this show, or if he does, he will surely realize his ambition!

He is good at making this kind of drama, and the script is so good, the details are well grasped, the characters are well chosen, and the filming is good, it must be better than his last one.

"It's not like I can only get your investment, so why don't I go find someone else?"

Mu Wen was very angry.

"Made, you will regret it when the time comes."

30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the middle-aged and poor!
……

the other side.

Chu Yunxuan was still very happy.

Now it's time to start preparing.

He called Qin Yueran.

"Hey, Xiao Xuanxuan, how is the investment discussion going?" Qin Yueran asked proactively.

"Can that be called a talk? It's just delivered to your mouth, okay?"

"whee."

Chu Yunxuan said helplessly: "Elder sister, you opened the back door too far, making it difficult for me to challenge you."

"What is this? Funding is just the first step, and there is no need for any challenge. You need to be challenging. If you make a film, it will be successful. The ratings will explode, and word-of-mouth will explode. These are all challenges."

Qin Yueran replied.

"Okay, anyway, I can't make your company lose money."

Qin Yueran then said: "Don't treat those high-level executives of the company as fools, the big boss of Qidian Group didn't refuse my request, that doesn't mean he just gave me this face, at least he also read the script, He has a certain confidence, even if the director is you."

"At least, he thinks that with your popularity and attention, the script is very good. With an investment of [-] million, he has passed the evaluation of some professional departments. At least he knows in his heart whether the show is making money or losing money. Even if it is losing money, it should be It’s not too big, he can accept it, and sell me and my dad’s face, anyway, he must have made all the preparations and statistics.”

"In his opinion, whether the show makes money or not is one thing. For him personally, no matter what it is, it's just that it won't lose money."

Chu Yunxuan nodded: "Okay, then I'll start casting."

"It's up to you, anyway, you are in control of everything, Director Chu."

Qin Yueran said with a smile.

"Don't call me that, it's embarrassing."

"Pu Chi, get out."

"Hahaha, then I hang up."

"Bye-Bye."

Chu Yunxuan then stretched.

"Go!"

Casting!

After returning to the hotel, Chu Yunxuan began to look for the actors according to the cast list that director Lu Sheng had sent him before.

The characters in this show are all great.

Therefore, casting is very important.

The two protagonists and villains are naturally the top priority.

Then came the casting of several important female characters.

The role of the upright hero An Xin's childhood sweetheart Meng Yu.

The role of sister-in-law Chen Shuting.

Gao Qilan's role.

There are also the characters of Tang Xiaohu, Tang Xiaolong, and Gao Qisheng, including the role of Xu Jiang, the first villain in this show, all of which are very eye-catching and important.

dong dong dong-

At this time, the door knocked.

Chu Yunxuan opened the door.

"Good afternoon."

Lin Miaomiao waved her hand.

"Finished?" Chu Yunxuan asked.

Today Chu Yunxuan has no role to play.

"alright."

"come in."

The two walked into the room.

"What are you doing?" Lin Miaomiao asked curiously.

Chu Yunxuan sat in front of the computer and rubbed his temples: "It's casting."

"Wow! Are your funds ready?"

"Well, it's time to invest." Chu Yunxuan said.

Lin Miaomiao leaned over to Chu Yunxuan and asked, "Then do you think I have a suitable role? Director Chu, I am friendly, and I only need a meal."

Chu Yunxuan glanced at Lin Miaomiao, then patted her on the head: "Then am I still human? Why don't you read the script?"

"Hurrah!"

"The drawer over there, I printed it out."

"I'll take a look."

Lin Miaomiao then sat on the edge of the bed and concentrated on reading the script.

Chu Yunxuan originally thought that things were actually quite easy, but at this point, he felt that even the most basic casting was troublesome.

"I don't think I can play the role of An Xin."

It is not suitable at all, and the audience will have no sense of substitution.

He scanned the list of actors, and then his eyes fixed on a man named Zhang Duo.

The film king, an absolute acting school, has a wide range of roles, and is especially good at some military films and criminal investigation films.

"Just him."

Chu Yunxuan fell in love with him immediately.

And it also fits the image he was more satisfied with in his impression.

Afterwards, Chu Yunxuan directly sent Zhang Duo's agent a script and role invitation in his own capacity.

The price was 3000 million.

It is also his basic quotation above.

The specific price can be discussed in detail, but basically the price difference will not be too big.

Three hours have passed, and Chu Yunxuan has probably made an invitation for several roles.

But whether it can be true is difficult.

First, Chu Yunxuan is the director.

Second, do they have time and a schedule.

So, in fact, except for the leading actor An Xin's role as the film king, some other actors are looking for those who are not so popular.

But it must be the strength of acting.

"There are still a few old actors missing."

Chu Yunxuan frowned.

Moreover, several important female characters, Meng Yu in the play, Gao Qilan and sister-in-law Chen Shuting are still undecided.

The personalities of the three women are quite outstanding.

Image is also important.

Lin Miaomiao put down the script and looked at Chu Yunxuan.

In her eyes, there was a bit more admiration and admiration for Chu Yunxuan.

It's really amazing.

"Chu Yunxuan, I don't think there are any suitable female roles for me here. I feel that the most I can play is a female actress." Lin Miaomiao said helplessly.

Of the three important female roles, she may only be slightly suitable for the role of Meng Yu.

The main reason is that the role of Gao Qilan in the later period is to become that kind of intellectual royal sister.

She guessed that she couldn't hold on to this kind of play.

"Indeed, the important female characters in this script are not easy to act," Chu Yunxuan said.

"Yes, yes, but in the script, I have someone to recommend to you for the role of Chen Shuting. I think it's quite suitable." Lin Miaomiao said.

"Who?"

"Her name is Riemann, one of my seniors. I have filmed with her before. I think she can handle Chen Shuting's domineering sister-in-law in your script."

"Let me see."

Chu Yunxuan then searched for some clips of her acting experience.

"It's really possible."

Chu Yunxuan's eyes lit up.

"Right, right."

Chu Yunxuan really thought it was very suitable.

"Then can you make an appointment for me?"

"Okay, let me talk about it."

Lin Miaomiao seemed very happy to be able to help Chu Yunxuan.

"Thanks."

As Lin Miaomiao opened the door to go out, she gestured "OK" and walked out.

Chu Yunxuan thought for a while, then called Lin Qin.

"Sister Qin, are you busy?"

Lin Qin smiled and said, "I just returned to Jinghai City, what's the matter?"

"I'll show you a script when I'm free."

"Okay, send me to see."

Chu Yunxuan: "OK."

In the middle of the night, when Chu Yunxuan was about to fall asleep, Lin Qin called.

"This script is okay, which director? You wouldn't recommend me to play one of the female roles, would you?"

"Yes, what about the role of Meng Yu?"

Lin Qin: "..."

"Okay, although I prefer the other Gao Qilan and Chen Shuting, but this one is also fine, I should be more suitable, I am quite willing, the main thing is that the script is really good, which director wants to shoot it?"

"Me." Chu Yunxuan said.

Lin Qin: "..."

"what?"

She was stunned.

"You said that you want to be a director, so the emotional drama is right? Where did you get the script?"

"I wrote it."

Lin Qin: "..."

Made!Awesome!
"I really don't know what else you can do, okay, I support Director Chu unconditionally."

"Don't, you have to really like it. Don't agree just because you see it's me."

Li Qin said: "I already said that, I have the urge to act in this play."

"Then do you believe me?"

"How should I put it? I don't think it's reliable, but I just want to bet with you, hahaha." Lin Qin said straightforwardly.

After all, no one normally thinks that Chu Yunxuan can direct a movie well.

"Hahaha, I won't let you down."

Chu Yunxuan also smiled.

"No problem, then you have to guide me in acting." Lin Qin laughed loudly.

"I'm very strict."

"Okay, whip me."

Chu Yunxuan smiled.

"Director Chu, I have a question."

Lin Qin suddenly became serious.

"You ask."

"Um... are you the kind of director who knows unspoken rules?"

Chu Yunxuan: "..."
