The bright sunshine seemed to indicate Tian Xingjian's good mood for the day. After getting up from bed in the morning, he saw that Han Jiaren was still curled up on the bed like a kitten. After quietly leaving the bedroom, he began to move a little more. He went to the study room and started to tidy up the scripts that he had not finished yesterday. Even though he had been busy for two days, he still had not finished copying all the scripts. Of course, Han Jiaren wasn't in a good mood last night because of the various reports on the Internet. She kept chatting with her and watching TV.
However, at least he could teach Shen Lie with this document. It was not like he had to hand in all the scripts today. The main thing was to look at the creativity and the general direction of the script. The big shots in the review department or the company did not have the time to look at all the details of the script. As long as he settled Shen Lie's side, the rest was none of his business. He would leave it to Shen Lie to fool CJ's executives.
After leaving a note, Tian Xingjian tiptoed out of Han Jiaren's apartment. As for whether Yan Zhengxun would still be at the door, he didn't have to worry. If he could still be in the mood to wait at the door with the photos and videos on the internet over the weekend, then Tian Xingjian had to be brave.
However, Tian Xingjian still paid attention when he left the neighborhood. Everyone knew that Han Jiaren and Yan Zhengxun were about to get married, but with such a big incident, it would be strange if the media didn't look for Han Jiaren everywhere. Therefore, this neighborhood was definitely safe. Who knew if the paparazzi knew about this place? It was better to be careful.
To the people in the entertainment industry, as long as it was not related to them, everyone would treat it as a joke or remind them to be careful in the future. When Tian Xingjian arrived at the company, he was not in a hurry to find Shen Lie. The company did not discuss too much about the video of Yan Zhengxun. First of all, he was a CJ artist, and he was not their relative. Who cared if he lived or died?
Shen Lie called Tian Xingjian to his office at about 10 pm.”
"It's almost done. There's still some finishing work. I'm not very familiar with the Han country in the 80s and 90s, so I need to do some investigation on the details.”Tian Xingjian handed Shen Lie a cigarette. Han Jiaren had bought it for him.
"Yes, I'm sure you've heard about the company's new director support plan. This time, the company's cooperation with Hong Kong is mainly to look at the filming teams in other Asian countries. I just had a meeting and went to make a report. The company has decided to start this project ahead of time.”Shen Lie said as he walked to the tea table to make tea.
Tian Xingjian felt gratified. This old man had finally revealed his intentions today. However, he couldn't let Shen Lie make tea at this time. He was the one who did all the work." Thank you for your promotion, Brother Shen Lie. My script is about…"
Shen Lie was quite confident in Tian Xingjian's script. As for the effect of the script, he was completely uncertain. Confidence was, of course, a little blind. Or rather, there weren't many famous screenwriters in their team. Quan Chengwu could do it, but he couldn't stand the script that was submitted.
Shen Lie didn't put all his hopes on Tian Xingjian. Apart from Director Quan Chengwu who gave him a script outline, Assistant Director Che also gave him a copy. He also asked his scriptwriter team to write a copy. However, after comparing the four parties, it seemed that only Tian Xingjian and the scriptwriter team's work was worth it.
In addition to Tian Xingjian's narration from the beginning to the end, he had already made all the preparations. Compared to the scriptwriter team, which was just a big framework, Tian Xingjian had definitely given it a good job this time.
After reporting the script to Shen Lie, Tian Xingjian went back to his office and continued to write the rest of the script. Fortunately, everyone in the office was busy with their own things. He was the youngest and sat in the corner without worrying about others looking at his computer screen.
It wasn't that Tian Xingjian didn't want to give Shen Lie a budget. The script hadn't been finalized yet, so it wasn't time for this segment yet. They could only start to make a budget after the approval from the higher-ups. After the budget was done, they could start to decide on some actors. Otherwise, if they directly found a bunch of big name celebrities, then what kind of movie could they make with the remaining money?
This matter could not be rushed. As long as Shen Lie passed, he would wait for the next notice. However, he believed that Shen Lie would definitely speed up this matter. Their team did not have much work at the moment. Everyone was bored to death. Although they had accepted a China-Korea cooperation project, they did not have to do the post-production or budget. They did not have to care about anything.
If an independent film crew was so free, Shen Lie would not have agreed to it first. CJ wanted to recruit him to make money. Therefore, Tian Xingjian believed that in half a month or this week, the entire department would be back in operation again, whether it was Tian Xingjian's own script being selected or pulling them to do some filming tasks.
" OP PA, I'm going to work. I won't be home for the next two days. You can go back by yourself. Remember to miss me!'In the afternoon, Tian Xingjian, who was busy writing his script, suddenly received a text message from Han Jiaren. After reading it, he naturally understood that he was busy with the Yan Zhengxun incident that continued to brew today.
He was really impressed by his " third brother " for being able to take every step without leaving a trace. He had released all the things he had filmed, and in the end, he had even made the mysterious identity of a married woman famous. This had caused the entire Han nation's media to boil. Hitting middle school students and forcing college students to abort their babies could only prove that Yan Zhengxun was a scumbag. However, the matter of seducing another man's wife in the end was something that people could only imagine.
Everyone knew that the Han nation was a nation dominated by financial magnates, so those wealthy ladies were very attractive. The media wanted to know which wealthy man's wife Yan Zhengxun was hooking up with. If it was the Li family, then it would be a big joke.
As for Han Jiaren's news, Tian Xingjian had been busy the whole day and didn't read it. He planned to go back and pay attention to it at night. All his focus now was on his current script. The winner was king and the loser was the enemy. Otherwise, he might continue to mingle in CJ and look forward to the next opportunity.
Tian Xingjian, who had no power or influence, didn't have that much capital to start his own movie. He couldn't find any actors for his movie alone. Although everyone usually laughed and drank together, if they really worked for him for free, who would be willing to do so? Unless it was those super fans and newbies. But could these people really make Tian Xingjian's movie?
He was prepared to become famous overnight. Those high-quality films could not be controlled by these people without a certain level of acting skills. He did not want to block a good film with a group of newcomers, especially when the films he filmed would definitely be of a different generation. Even if he found the original cast, would these people really be able to film their acting skills in a few years or ten years without the accumulation of years?
After work, Tian Xingjian went straight back to his apartment in Jiangbei. Since Han Jiaren wasn't around, he didn't want to make trouble. What if he saw her assistant coming to the apartment to get something or the paparazzi? For the time being, he just had to do his job.
The media had been in a mess for the past few days, as if they had taken an aphrodisiac. It seemed that the incident with Yeon Zheng-hoon was the trigger. A report titled " Report on the In-depth Investigation of Professional Experts on the Future Speculations of Advertising Models and Celebrities " had actually exploded. However, it was nicknamed the X-Files by netizens on the Internet. Now, not only Han, but the entire Asia was paying attention to Han, a small country.
'F * ck, I definitely didn't do this!'When Tian Xingjian saw this news, he felt a little guilty. He had only wanted to mess with Yan Zhengxun, but he didn't expect it to cause such a big news. Now, everyone in the entertainment industry in Han was afraid of being on this list.
In fact, this list was actually a very normal evaluation report in Han. However, the media and the public only paid attention to the negative news, and most of the evaluations of the newcomers were very positive. In the future, the company would use this evaluation report to invest in some actors and singers.
But who asked everyone to pay attention to the negative news, even Tian Xingjian was no exception. He began to pay attention to the privacy of some super big shots. There were many things that people in his circle did not know, such as Lee Byung Hyun being a pervert, Bae Yong Jun being violent, Lee Young being addicted to drugs.
However, Tian Xingjian also felt that these people were making a mountain out of a molehill. If these things were in the United States, it would not be a big deal at all. It was just an ordinary report. Who asked this to be Asia? In addition, the entertainment industry was a relatively glamorous group. Everyone wanted to know what kind of state these people were in. This contrast became the topic of the entire Asian fishing boat.
" Tsk, this is also called X-files. The future Photographer Chen will be the one to blow up Asia!'Tian Xingjian couldn't be bothered to pay attention to these things that had nothing to do with him. Although this matter had a huge impact on the entire entertainment industry and had already risen to the level of the investigation of the Blue House, a small fry like him still did what he had to do.
A week later, Tian Xingjian was finally called over by Shen Lie." Your script has been approved. Prepare the budget and report it to the company later. You're lucky this time. The theme of this movie is very good. It's completely in line with the company's interests to shoot it at this time."”
"What about the director?" Tian Xingjian didn't want to work for nothing anymore. If he couldn't become a director this time, he would rather not film it. Damn, if he gave such a high-rated movie to someone else, he would really suffer a huge loss. He was lucky enough to buy this script because of an inexplicable large price reduction. It was a delusion to give it to someone else to produce.
"You will set up the entire production team. Report the budget to me as soon as possible, and we will start planning for this case.”Shen Lie rubbed his temples. He had been having a hard time lately. It was all because of that lousy file. The people in the film industry had the biggest impact on the entire entertainment industry. On the other hand, the music industry was considered a light-hit area. It had even risen a lot because of this. The main reason was that most of the people there were just normal evaluation reports. How could they be more eye-catching than the privacy of the hard-hit areas here?
Tian Xingjian walked out of the office feeling extremely excited. He could finally make his own movie. After three years of hard work, he had finally made his mark. Furthermore, he was lucky enough to buy such a movie script this time. He was already looking forward to countless olive branches reaching out to him after the movie was released next year.
After returning to his desk, Tian Xingjian calmed down a little and prepared to start making the budget. The budget on his side was naturally the selection of actors, and the other budget was handled by Shen Lie. However, the actors were bothering him now. No matter what, this movie would be produced five or six years later. The specific time was definitely not recent. Moreover, according to the laws of this parallel world, he did not know when this movie would appear, or even if it would not appear at all.
Or perhaps someone had already started preparing. After all, he did not see the 'Unique' attribute of this movie. This was also what he was most anxious about. If he collided with someone else, his joke would be blown out of proportion.
The original cast would definitely be able to act, so how would the other actors be chosen? Firstly, he definitely couldn't use this bunch of people who were on the X Files rankings. Choosing this bunch of people was definitely courting death. Although these people's net worth had definitely plummeted, he really didn't dare to use them. Later on, he would be drowned in the spit of the fishing boat. After all, there were all kinds of promotional plans after the film started filming.
Tian Xingjian opened the movie again and started watching it again. He naturally understood why his script had passed the test this time. It was because his movie was mainly about the actresses, and the men were basically the supporting characters among the supporting characters. This way, he avoided the romance movie and didn't want to provoke the media to dig into the crew.
" There's no problem with Han Jiaren being the main character. No matter what, she's the investor. So who's going to play the big sister? Who would play the other five princesses? Was he acting when he was young or when he was middle-aged? Fourteen actresses! Tian Xingjian also realized that he had been a little careless. After making such a movie, the salary of these actresses alone was already a huge figure, not to mention the other budget that Shen Lie had reported.
Tian Xingjian was a little depressed. When the time came, the quality of his actors would definitely be extremely low. He estimated that he could only slowly find actors. He had watched this movie countless times recently, and he even installed the idiot installation package.
This did not affect the quality of the movie. Instead, he had to click on the switch himself. After clicking on it, the movie instantly turned into an educational mode. For example, every scene would be marked with long-range, close-up, close-up, what kind of camera was used, and what kind of lighting was used. This was really a silly teaching method. If they took a laptop to the scene and followed the instructions, anyone could shoot the film.
However, Tian Xingjian couldn't write out the list of actors for the time being. Seeing that it was almost lunchtime, he ran to Shen Lie and said goodbye to him. Shen Lie didn't mind, and he wasn't in a hurry to work. He would officially let the whole crew start preparing for this movie next week.
"Fourteen princesses!" Tian Xingjian scratched his head. Of course, there were only a few main actors, so he didn't need to provide the entire list of actors. Since the company had decided to invest in this movie, the company's artists would definitely have to participate. In addition, there would be some artists who got in through the back door. All of these had to be left open. Therefore, in order to ensure the quality of the movie, Tian Xingjian only needed to choose the important characters in the movie. As for whether they would really invite actors according to the list he gave, he did not have that much power.
It was completely up to fate.
"Are you busy? Do you have time to come out?" Tian Xingjian thought about it and sent a text message to Han Jiaren. The two of them hadn't seen each other for almost two weeks. Since the film was confirmed this time, Tian Xingjian also thought about whether he should ask her for help and advice on the role.
[Then I want to eat squirrel fish tonight!] Han Jiaren's reply was quite fast, ignoring the fact that Tian Xingjian was happy when he saw this.
" Let's talk about work, okay? You can call your manager!'Tian Xingjian's mouth twitched as he smiled.
"No, come to my place tonight!" Han Jiaren replied again.
" Stop fooling around. It's really serious business. The company has decided to shoot my movie. I need to choose the cast list first. Help me make some suggestions. It'll also be good for you after you make an appearance.'Tian Xingjian wasn't a young man. The entire Han Country was on tenterhooks. If Han Jiaren came out at this time, although she was also on the X Files this time, most of the comments were positive. Therefore, there were definitely more benefits than disadvantages for her to come out at this time.
" No way. Everything between you and me is private. Private matters should be discussed at home.'
Tian Xingjian didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw Han Jiaren's reply. At this moment, he had even helped Han Jiaren plan how to help her hype up. Now, she didn't care at all. He had better think about it himself.
" OP`PA, I forgot to tell you. Don't go home today. We've moved. The company has found me a new dormitory. The address is here, and the password hasn't changed!'
Just as he was about to put his phone in his pocket, he received another message from Han Jiaren. After reading it, he thought about it and realized that it made sense. This time, the entertainment industry was in a huge earthquake. No company would not arrange a dormitory for an artiste to avoid being caught by the media.
'Han Jiaren is playing the lead role? Do you want to make it big? Tian Xingjian walked on the asphalt road and looked at the surrounding shops from time to time. Suddenly, he noticed an evil thought on a billboard.
Since they wanted to make a classic movie, why not make it more classic? When people saw the movie ten years later, they would find that it had a bigger gimmick?
" F * ck, I'll do it. Anyway, I'll just provide the name list. Whether it succeeds or not depends on the company. If it succeeds, then he'll be creating a classic on top of a classic.'Tian Xingjian looked at the billboard in front of him and smiled proudly. He had a general idea of the direction in his mind. He turned into a small market and prepared to have lunch there. He would write a list when he returned to the company in the afternoon.
As for the fact that he had wanted to look for Han Jiaren to refer to the cast list, there was no need for that now. He would just go over tonight and tell her that he was looking for him to be the lead. Later, he would get her manager to cooperate with the publicity.
After returning to the company, Tian Xingjian turned on his computer again. This time, he was looking at the official internal actor information website. He looked for the names that he remembered and began to record them in the notebook beside him. It didn't take long for Tian Xingjian to settle the main actors. Then, he began to rearrange the document.
"Brother Shen Lie, this is the list of the main actors. See if there's anything that needs to be changed!”Tian Xingjian handed the A4 paper to Shen Lie.
"Han Jiaren?" Shen Lie lowered his head and muttered before continuing to watch,"You're going to let each of them play two roles?"”
"Almost, but some actors can choose two actors. Brother, what do you think?”Tian Xingjian said with a smile.
" Alright, leave the name list with me. When the budget is done, I'll submit it to the higher-ups for a decision. I think it'll take a while. This time, we're not the only team with scripts. The other production teams also have scripts that have passed. If nothing goes wrong, it will be finalized at the meeting next Monday. So, you have to inform the production team now. Don't let them be delayed by other things." Shen Lie was very attentive this time. The people on the name list were not bad. At least he had some impression of a few of the names. They were considered actresses who had risen to fame relatively quickly in the past two years. Basically, he agreed to the list provided by Tian Xingjian and was prepared to make changes. As for the remaining actors, he would see if the company had any decisions.
After all, this was his first major case since he came to CJ. Everyone in the company knew that the previous case was just a case of giving away benefits. As for why he managed to get it, it was partly because he managed it well, and partly because the company valued him after poaching him.
After Tian Xingjian had settled the list of actors, Shen Lie sent him to instruct the crew. Ever since the last shoot of The Myths, these people had nothing to do. They had been doing odd jobs recently. Shen Lie also said that CJ had not only arranged filming tasks for them, but also for other teams.
If they did not confirm the identity of their crew members earlier, they would suffer a huge loss if they were taken away by others later.
Although cell phones were already very common in this era, they were still a luxury in the eyes of many ordinary people. They had not yet reached the level of necessities in the future. Therefore, calling to inform them about these things could not solve everything. They needed to meet and communicate. Moreover, this group of people could not stay at home at this time. They were all working outside.
The first person Tian Xingjian looked for was Xu Mingbo, who had the best relationship with him. He was the real boss of the crew. Although he was the lighting engineer, sometimes the assistant director and cameraman did not dare to shout at him. In addition to the lighting team, Tian Xingjian also had to contact the bosses of the other teams.
This was his first time directing a movie. If these people cooperated, he would be the one who would be cheated. Therefore, he bought two packs of cigarettes before he went over. He was prepared to leave when he went over. As for the big BOSS, Xu Mingbo, he would definitely have to pay tribute to him alone later.
"Hello, Senior! Hello, Senior!"
After arriving at Xu Mingbo's side, he kept bowing and greeting people he didn't know along the way. After finding his own people, he didn't immediately tell them why he was here. After all, they were working at the moment.
