Yang Chen walked into Lu Xinling's office.
"Hello, CEO Lu. You were looking for me?" Yang Chen sat opposite Lu Xinling.
"You don't have to be so polite. CEO Lu is too bureaucratic-minded. There are only a few people in the company. I'm only three years older than you.”Lu Xinling laughed at herself.
"Alright, I'll call you Sister Lu." Yang Chen said.”
The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while before Lu Xinling said seriously,""I've already read your script. To be honest, I'm shocked by your capabilities. But there are a few questions."
Yang Chen didn't seem surprised.”
Lu Xinling nodded and said," The biggest question is about the cost. Eight million is impossible, right?" The actors 'salaries alone were more than that.”
Yang Chen explained," It's like this, Sister Lu. When I was planning this film, I planned to use all the newcomers to shoot it. This can effectively save costs."”
"Secondly, the reason why the movie is so cheap is because there aren't many special effects scenes. I used sci-fi concepts to replace those sci-fi visuals. Sci-fi movies weren't just limited to images.”
Seeing that Lu Xinling nodded in understanding, Yang Chen continued.
"Also, Sister Lu didn't realize that this 'Source Code' only has two main scenes, and it keeps repeating between these two scenes. So we spent all our money on these two scenarios.”
"Furthermore, I'm confident that I can finish filming this movie within a month. This will greatly reduce the cost.”
The more Lu Xinling listened, the more shocked she became. She didn't expect Yang Chen's control over costs to be so meticulous.
Although she had only been in the company for a year, she had many years of experience in this industry.
It was entirely possible to operate with a budget of 8 million. Lu Xinling could tell.
Lu Xinling immediately said," Alright, Yang Chen. I'll tell you the truth. I wanted you to film other films. I've already prepared the script." But after watching Source Code, I decided to give it a try. I'll give you a budget of 10 million for this movie.”
Yang Chen said hesitantly,""Is this 10 million the company's money or the investor's money?”
Lu Xinling was a smart person, so she immediately understood what Yang Chen meant. She explained,"Don't worry, this 10 million is the company's money. This movie didn't find an investor. After all, it's the company's first film. We have to ensure the quality. I don't want to be judged by the investors.”
Yang Chen heaved a sigh of relief." Don't worry, Sister Lu. This movie will definitely sold well!"”
Lu Xinling rolled her eyes at him.”
Lu Xinling was a beautiful woman with pearly white teeth, and this eye-roll was so charming that Yang Chen couldn't help but be stunned.
"Puchi!" Lu Xinling couldn't help but laugh when she saw Yang Chen's dumbfounded expression.
……
The production team for Source Code had been established.
Yang Chen was the director, and Li Ran, the other intern director, was the assistant director.
The remaining set designers, lighting, photography, and other staff companies were also available.
Although the sparrow was small, it had all the internal organs.
Yang Chen handed over the work of setting the scene to the assistant director and the stage supervisor.
The lead actor had also been confirmed, and the company had a new actor, Li Jing.
Her appearance was not bad. Although her acting skills were a little immature, there was room for training.
There were four main actors in the movie 'Source Code'.
The other supporting actor, Yang Chen, planned to make a cameo. After all, he didn't have many scenes.
Yang Chen went to Shanghai with Lu Xinling and a photographer.
The three of them were currently gathering actors at Shanghai Film Academy.
Shanghai Film Academy. Many film crews were recruiting actors here.
As one of the top film academies in the country, if they could choose outstanding actors here, they would be able to become famous.
It could greatly control the cost of the movie.
As for the students of the Film Academy, their basic acting skills were pretty good.
Before the two of them came, they had already notified the school to release the recruitment information for actors.
Yang Chen's crew was not famous.
However, for young actors like Yue.
It was still very attractive.
These young people had not been baptized by the entertainment industry. They all had the dream of being an actor.
He would not let go of any opportunity.
In a rented classroom at Shanghai Film Academy.
"Next." Yang Chen felt a headache coming on. He had already seen more than a dozen people in the morning.
Among them, there were some young actors with good acting skills, but they did not quite match Yang Chen's ideal image.
Lu Xinling could tell that Yang Chen had high expectations for actors.
"Hello, teachers. My name is Chen Shu, and I'm a fourth-year student at the Film Academy.”A pure and beautiful woman walked into the classroom.
Yang Chen's eyes lit up.
She was beautiful with a hint of temptation, giving people a very charming feeling.
It was very suitable for the image of the female lead.
Chen Shu's acting score was also revealed when Yang Chen used his probing skill.
"67 points."
