Just as he returned to the dormitory, Lin Ran's phone rang.
Seeing that it was Wang Haiyi's call, he immediately picked it up.
"Lin Ran, I have good news for you. I just showed your script to Chief Wang.
Chief Wang was also very appreciative. In order to let you film in peace, he specially approved 100,000 yuan for you.”
Before Lin Ran could say anything, Wang Haiyi started talking.
"The department allocated 100,000 yuan to me?"
Lin Ran was stunned for a moment before he was filled with surprise.
Initially, Lin Ran had planned to borrow some money from his classmates and friends if the filming budget was not enough. He would return it after selling the copyright.
He did not expect that the department would directly allocate 100,000 yuan. Now, he did not lack funds.
"Teacher Wang, thank you so much.”
Lin Ran thanked him sincerely.
"Haha, to be able to get Director Wang to specially approve 100,000 yuan, it's because your script is good.
You have to do your best. Don't let Chief Wang down.”
Wang Haiyi didn't take credit for it and laughed.
"Don't worry, Teacher Wang. I'll definitely do a good job.”
Lin Ran promised.
After returning to the dormitory, Lin Ran gave Teacher Li Mingqi a call.
"Xiao Lin, can you send the script to my email and wait for me to read it before making a decision?”
Hearing that Lin Ran was introduced by Cui Xinqin, Li Mingqi spoke more politely.
"Sure, sure. I'll send the script to you immediately.”
Lin Ran nodded repeatedly.
After hanging up, Lin Ran quickly received a text message and sent the script to the email address.
Then, he continued to draw the storyboard.
"Lin Ran, you're drawing a scene script again? The script was written so quickly?"
Li Yuxing asked in surprise when he returned to the dormitory.
"No, the script was written long ago and I was prepared to use it directly.”
Lin Ran said without raising his head.
"I see. I'm also preparing to use the script that I've been working on for months."”
After chatting for a while, everyone went about their own business.
In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.
At eleven o'clock at night, when Lin Ran was lying in bed playing with her phone, someone suddenly added her as a friend on WeChat.
"I'm Chen Kun."
Lin Ran's eyes lit up when he saw the other party's verification information. He quickly passed.
"Are you really Brother Kun?"
Chen Kun: " It's true. I got the script you wrote from Teacher Cui. It's very exciting. I'm willing to act in it for free, so I specially added you on WeChat to chat."”
"Thank you, Brother Kun." Seeing that Chen Kun was willing to act for free, Lin Ran was very happy.
Chen Kun: " No need to thank me. It's not like I'm short of money. A good script is hard to come by."”
Lin Ran nodded secretly.
Chen Kun was right. Actors at their level were not short of money.
There were a lot of projects looking for them, but there were very few exciting scripts.
Therefore, when they came across a good script, if the producer had limited funds, they were willing to lower their pay or even not charge for it.
This kind of situation was especially common in literary films.
For example, when Peng Yuchang was filming "Elephants Sit on the Ground," he was already quite famous, but his salary was only 3000 yuan.
In the end, Peng Yuchang was nominated for Golden Horse because of this movie, and his status was greatly improved.
Chen Kun: " Xiao Lin, I've read the script several times. Was the sound engineer killed in the end?"”
"Brother Kun, this is an open ending. It depends on everyone's own understanding.”
"Hmm…"
The two of them chatted for more than an hour. Chen Kun was indeed a good actor. He explained his understanding of the role and raised many questions.
Fortunately, Lin Ran had studied this short film many times in his previous life. Otherwise, he would have been stumped.
"Phew, I'm still not good enough.”
Lin Ran sighed and prepared to go to the system's classroom to learn.
"Enter the system."
Instantly, Lin Ran's consciousness was immersed in a virtual classroom.
The teacher standing on the podium was the famous Frank Darabonte.
The director of The Shawshank Redemption!
"The system is indeed awesome. Who can invite this old man to be a teacher in real life?”
Lin Ran gave the system a big thumbs up in his heart and then focused on listening to the class.
The next afternoon, Lin Ran received a call from Teacher Li Mingqi.
After reading the script, she was very interested in the role of the old lady and was willing to play it.
When they talked about the remuneration, they agreed to Lin Ran's offer of 5000 yuan.
After the two main actors were decided, Lin Ran was full of energy and only spent a week to draw the script.
Next, Lin Ran began to form a creative team. He had to personally select important positions such as photographer, lighting engineer, prop engineer, and sound engineer.
It turned out that when Lin Ran filmed the short film, she had a few fixed partners, all of whom were students from Nortel Film Academy.
However, their standards were not up to Lin Ran's requirements for The Tuner, so they could only play as assistants.
Therefore, Lin Ran could only choose from the school teachers and the Green Film Studio.
Other than that, he also needed to contact the filming location and apply for filming equipment.
In the blink of an eye, ten days had passed.
All the preparations were in place, and they could finally start filming.
