I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 61 "The True Meaning of Love"

After walking out of China Film and Television, Wan Qingshan returned home and took three house books to the bank for mortgage.

He invested more than 200 million in Ning Hua, and he wanted to pay more than 700 million for "The True Meaning of Love." He didn't have that much cash, so he could only use two courtyard houses and the company's shop as collateral.

As soon as he left the bank, he received a call from Ning Hua.

"Hey, Brother Hu!"

"Big Thief Mike!" Wan Qingshan exclaimed in shock.

I have been so busy during this period that I forgot to find an actor for Ning Hua to guest star as Mike the Robber.

On the other end of the phone, Ning Hua heard Wan Qingshan's surprised voice and an idea immediately came to his mind.

This made him anxiously ask, "Senior, you won't forget, right?"

Wan Qingshan smiled and said, "Sorry, I'm a little busy during this time. But don't worry, I will find it for you right away."

"Senior, please hurry up, I've already turned on the computer." On the other end, the helpless Ning Hua could only say this.

"well."

After hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan immediately dialed Yu Bo's number.

"Bogo!"

"It's nothing serious, I just want to ask you to help me make a guest appearance."

"You have already joined the group, then I will find someone else."

"it's okay no problem."

After Wan Qingshan hung up the phone and was about to call again, he thought of a situation, which made him hesitate.

"I'm going to invite actors to audition soon. At this time, I can't owe you any favors."

Immediately, Wan Qingshan thought for a while, found a phone number at the end of his phone's address book, and called it.

"Hey, Yawen."

"I want you to play a small role."

"It's not my movie, it's Ning Hua's movie. You should have heard of Ning Hua, he's also from our school."

"Okay, I'll send you his phone number later, and you can contact him yourself."

"Okay, that's it."

After hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan called Ning Hua again.

Ning Hua was a little dissatisfied with Wan Qingshan finding a new person for him, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only hold his nose and agree.

After waiting for two days, I received a call from Han Sanping, saying that the script of "The True Meaning of Love" had passed the review.

A few days later, in a hotel near China Film Group, Wan Qingshan asked Li Yancheng,

"Brother Cheng, if you don't care about the actor's audition, you and Yan Dong can go find the filming location."

Normally, when an actor auditions, the producer should be present.

However, in Wan Qingshan's crew, there is only one voice: Wan Qingshan, whatever he says is what he says.

Li Yancheng nodded and said, "Tomorrow morning, Yan Dong and I will go find a venue."

Wan Qingshan turned his eyes and looked at Zhang Zong, "Brother Zhang, the job of inviting auditions will be left to you."

"Director Wan, there is no need to invite you for your new movie. As long as I spread the word in the circle, they will recommend themselves." Zhang Zong replied with a smile.

"Brother Zhang, I'll leave all the trouble to you. I'll come back when the audition comes."

"Don't worry, Director Wan."

After Wan Qingshan left the hotel, he immediately drove to the airport.

Wan Qingshan hugged Chen Yumo, who was rushing toward him, and smelled the familiar smell emanating from Chen Yumo's body.

"Yu Mo, didn't you say you would stay at home for two months? Why did you come out early?"

Chen Yumo stood up slightly, blinked with gleaming eyes, and asked with a smile, "Wouldn't it be better if I came back early?"

"Okay, of course it will be good if you come back."

Wan Qingshan replied with a smile, then took a few quick steps and pulled up the suitcase left by Chen Yumo.

"If I'm not around, you won't be cooking. It's not hygienic outside."

After returning home, Chen Yumo immediately ran to the kitchen to take a look.

Then, like an old woman, she chanted towards Wanqing Mountain. "It's too troublesome for me to cook alone."

Wan Qingshan had just finished speaking when the cell phone placed on the coffee table rang.

Wan Qingshan took two quick steps, picked up the phone and saw that it was Wang Jinghua, and he immediately frowned.

"Hey, Sister Hua!"

"Yes, that's right, audition for a new film."

"It all depends on the audition results."

"Okay, okay, no problem."

After hanging up the phone, Wan Qingshan had just taken two steps when his cell phone rang again, and he saw it was Chang Jihong.

Wan Qingshan sighed, answered the phone and talked perfunctorily again.

China Film's release of auditions for Wan Qingshan's new film is like dropping a bomb into the mainland film and television industry.

Wan Qingshan's new film is also his first commercial film.

Unexpectedly, he did not appear in the role, nor did he decide to use his classmates, and began to audition externally.

This makes people in the circle a little unbelievable.

As a result, everyone who knew Wan Qingshan called to inquire, and those who did not know him also inquired through various connections.

The day after news of Wan Qingshan's new film broke, the Venice Film Festival announced its shortlist.

Among them, there are two semi-Chinese films shortlisted for the main competition, Wan Qingshan's "Heart" and Jia Zhangke's "The World".

Half of the film is "Coffee Time" directed by Hou Xiaoxian. Because it was co-produced by Wanwan and the island country, it is half of the film.

There have long been rumors in the industry that Wan Qingshan's new film has been nominated by Marco Muller for the Venice Film Festival.

But Wan Qingshan did not come forward to admit it, nor did Marco Muller, so most people just believed it.

Now that the list is announced at this time, Wanqingshan's popularity in the circle has suddenly become even higher.

"Director Wan, we are in a meeting now. If you have anything, I can convey it to you."

"Uh, uh, bye."

"Hello."

"Director Wan is in a meeting."

"See you."

Watching Chen Chen keep picking up calls on his cell phone, Wan Qingshan shouted that he was lucky. Fortunately, he was smart and handed the phone to Chen Chen immediately after knowing that the Venice list was announced.

"Hello."

"Director Wan, he is in a meeting."

"If you're being bullied, give him your phone."

A familiar roar came from the phone, which made Wan Qingshan stunned for a moment. Then, he quickly asked in a low voice, "Chen Chen, who is it?"

"Director Wan, your phone didn't save his number, so it didn't show who it was, and he didn't say who he was." Chen Chen covered his phone and whispered.

Wan Qingshan thought for a moment, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me your phone."

Just as Chen Chen let go of his hand covering the phone, another loud roar came from the phone, "Wan Qingshan, speak to me."

At this time, Wan Qingshan recognized whose voice it was. He quickly stood up and took the phone, smiling and saying, "Uncle, I'm really sorry. The assistant was just ignorant and didn't know it was you."

"Don't talk nonsense to me. I've done all these tricks of yours before. Okay, let's get down to business. Are you going to make a new movie?" Chen Yanfeng asked on the other end of the phone.

Wan Qingshan was very surprised. How did Chen Yanfeng know about his new film and even called him specifically to ask him.

Wan Qingshan's thoughts turned quickly, "Uncle, my new film is being prepared. What can I do for you?"

"I'm fine. I'm just passing on a message to someone. He wants to use 300 million to send someone to your place to make a movie."

Immediately, Chen Yanfeng's voice on the phone became much lower, "I just can't save face and send a message to my friend. You don't need to consider me."

Wan Qingshan's eyes widened and he wondered in his heart, "Didn't the coal boss's invasion of the film and television industry start after the financial crisis?"

"Uncle, I have no objection to this matter. However, I have to ask another investor." Wan Qingshan thought for a moment and replied quickly.

"You have to ask the partners for their opinions on this matter. Once you have discussed it, call me and let me know. Again, you don't have to look down on me, I'm just helping to spread the word."

"Hey, I understand. Uncle, I'll call you as soon as the results come out."
