1990: Starting from Baojia Street

Although Chen Kaige said it was not easy for him, Zhou Yan didn't take it seriously. This guy has never seen real difficulty. Let alone the distance, in this Yanjing Studio, Li Hong and others who have no background and no backing It’s not easy to record small events.

However, Zhou Yan could feel that Chen Kaige's attitude seemed to have changed somewhat.

Chen Kaige had asked Zhou Yan before if he was familiar with Teng Wenji. Chen Kaige must have attended the director exchange meeting at that time and heard Teng Wenji say some bad things about Zhou Yan.

Chen Kaige didn't say anything at that time, but this time he reminded Zhou Yan to be careful with Teng Wenji. It can be seen that Chen Kaige's relationship between them has changed during this time.

Either Chen Kaige feels that his relationship with Zhou Yan is better, or his relationship with Teng Wenji has deteriorated, or both.

Zhou Yan was actually not very honest with Chen Kaige. He didn't say much about his situation with Teng Wenji. Chen Kaige and Wang Junzheng were still different after all.

Do you have any plans for a new movie recently? Zhou Yan asked.

Chen Kaige took a bite of his rice, shook his head and said, No, my mind is still on Farewell My Concubine. I'm going to see if there are any good scripts in the second half of the year. After you finish filming The Sixth Sense, I'll talk to Tang I have another film appointment, right?

Well, there's another one, what about you?

Chen Kaige smiled and said, Liubu, so I will have to work long-term in the future.

Tsk, tsk, so many.

When Xu Feng signed a contract with Zhou Yan, he also mentioned that Zhou Yan should sign four films with Tomson. However, Zhou Yan felt that four films were too many, so he only signed two films. Unexpectedly, Chen Kaige actually had six more films with Tomson.

According to the contract, Chen Kaige can only make movies for Tomson in the future. If other companies want to make movies with him, they can only go through Tomson.

However, a film contract is a film contract, and in the end, everyone may not fulfill the contract. With Xu Feng's personality, it is impossible to use this to hinder them.

If you hadn't given Tree Hole to Wu Ziniu, I would have really wanted to film this. Chen Kaige is still thinking about Tree Hole.

Zhou Yan also didn't expect that Tree Hole would be so attractive to Chen Kaige. He was still reciting it even now.

You can't blame me, you read the novel very early at that time. Zhou Yan said with a smile.

Hey, I didn't expect it to happen so soon. I thought I'd wait until the Farewell My Concubine incident is over before we talk about this matter.

“Let’s work together again if we have the opportunity in the future.”

Chen Kaige nodded, put the last mouthful of rice into his mouth, took another sip of soup, and then lit a cigarette to himself, I heard that The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly had a very high box office at Neon. Their sales there Audiences quite like this type of movie, and it will be released in Korea soon, right?

It's probably going to take a while for Korea to reach an agreement, but we haven't reached an agreement yet in several European countries.

I don't know how this movie will do at the box office in Europe.

We don't know yet. We'll find out in a few days.

As soon as Zhou Yan finished speaking, the bp machine in his pocket rang. He took it out and looked at it. It was Wu Ziniu calling.

Director Wu called me as soon as we talked about Tree Hole. Zhou Yan said with a smile.

Looking at the BP machine in Zhou Yan's hand, Chen Kaige smiled and said, Many people have bought Mobile Phones now. Why don't you buy one? That thing is nothing to your current net worth, right?

Zhou Yan has made a lot of money in the past two years, and Chen Kaige knows a little bit about it. I heard that Zhou Yan made hundreds of thousands when he took over the filming of Green Snake.

Zhou Yan didn't get much money from the movie box office, but he got a high share of the two music albums Piano Boy and Mysterious Country.

Zhou Yan is not too fond of Big Brother, That thing is too big, I'm not used to carrying it in my pocket.

Not only is it big, but the signal is poor, the battery life is not good, and it is not as stable as a bp machine.

But it's convenient.

The pager is also very convenient. Zhou Yan finished the last few bites of his meal, I'll go to your office to use the phone.

You go ahead, I'm going back.

After separated from Chen Kaige in the cafeteria, Zhou Yan went to the director's office. As soon as he entered, he saw Teng Wenji and another director Sun Xu in the office.

Since they met, Zhou Yan said hello generously, The two directors are still busy at this late hour. Aren't you going to eat?

Sun Xu was about thirty years old and had a good personality. He smiled and said, We have eaten. Director Teng has something to say. We will come back and work overtime for a while. Director Zhou, what are you doing?

Zhou Yan pointed to the phone and said, Let me borrow a phone.

When Zhou Yan borrowed the phone, Teng Wenji said calmly, Director Zhou really knows how to live a good life. He has to come to the factory to eat and make phone calls.

Zhou Yan said with a smile, There is no way. We young people are under great pressure now. If we don't save some money, it will be difficult to find a wife.

Then Zhou Yan ignored him and ran to the phone, picked up the phone and dialed Wu Ziniu.

After the call was connected, Wu Ziniu briefly exchanged greetings, and then sighed, Director Zhou, there is something wrong with the filming now.

what is the problem?

Chen Xiaoyi is injured.

Are you injured? What kind of injury will it take a long time?

Chen Xiaoyi is the heroine of Tree Hole, but she doesn't have many roles. If it's just an ordinary injury, just put her scenes back first, and it won't delay the progress much.

With a fracture, it will take at least two or three months before we can continue filming. And as you know, our drama is already in the middle and late stages of filming, and we don't have much time to wait for her.

Zhou Yan nodded, because Chen Xiaoyi didn't have many roles, so she joined the group relatively late. Now that this situation suddenly appeared, she definitely couldn't wait.

Where did the fracture occur and how did you get injured?

The forearm fell from the tree and fell.

In the movie, when the male protagonist Yao Xiang was stuck in a tree hole, he imagined that the female protagonist would rescue her.

Although the movie is a fantasy, it must have been shot. It must have been the injury I suffered during the filming of this part.

When such a problem occurs, Wu Ziniu and others bear a great responsibility. If the on-site safety measures are taken well, there will be no such low-level mistakes.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yan sighed, I'm lucky, it's just a broken arm.

Their prop tree is quite tall, and anyone who is unlucky enough to fall from it will fall to death. If there are serious casualties, they will no longer be able to film the scene.

Have you told Mr. Xu about this? Zhou Yan asked again.

Well, after sending Chen Xiaoyi to the hospital, I immediately contacted Mr. Xu to report the situation on the scene. Mr. Xu meant that now Chen Xiaoyi can't film, and the actor must be changed. I contacted you to discuss this with you. matter.

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, Didn't there be an alternative Gong Lijun before?

Gong Lijun and Chen Xiaoyi were classmates, but during the casting process, Chen Xiaoyi was ultimately chosen among Gong Lijun and Chen Xiaoyi.

Wu Ziniu sighed again, Gong Lijun was in a car accident and is still recuperating at home.

Isn't she on the set of Three Kingdoms? I saw her at the beginning of the year.

Gong Lijun played Da Qiao in Three Kingdoms. Zhou Yan met her last time when he went to Xicheng. Gong Lijun was still fine at that time.

It just happened a few days ago.

Zhou Yan twitched his lips, what is this?

Although Tree Hole is written in a rather mysterious way, the reality cannot be so mysterious. The heroine suffered a fracture and the alternate heroine had a car accident.

Director Wu, what are you thinking now?

My idea is that the two of us will discuss a list, and then ask Tomson to help contact us and do an urgent temporary audition, so as to determine the heroine as soon as possible.

Zhou Yan nodded: That's all we can do for the time being.

Who do you have in mind? Let's discuss it.

Zhou Yan glanced at Teng Wenji and the others and said, I have some things at hand right now. I'll call you back later. Director Wu, don't be too anxious. The heroine's role is not particularly important.

Don't worry about this. These days, I will shoot the other parts without the heroine first.

After all, Wu Ziniu is an experienced director, so he is relatively calm in the face of such emergencies.

Well, I'll call you back later.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan was about to say hello to Sun Xu and leave, but he heard Teng Wenji say with a smile, Director Zhou, if you are afraid of us eavesdropping, we can go to other places and leave the office to you.

Zhou Yan smiled, feeling confused again, but Teng Wenji's words also proved that he had indeed focused on the phone just now.

Director Sun, you're leaving.

Zhou Yan ignored Teng Wenji, said hello to Sun Xu and left.

After returning home, Zhou Yan called Wu Ziniu again.

After the call was connected, the two briefly chatted about the choice of the heroine. Wu Ziniu had two candidates in mind, one was Jin Lili and the other was Wu Yujuan.

These two are classmates with Gong Li. They are beautiful and have rich acting experience.

Zhou Yan thought for a while and said, Director Wu, what do you think of Chen Hong?

Chen Hong? I don't know her very well.

She played Diao Chan in Three Kingdoms.

Well, then add her to the candidate list and let Tomson contact her for the audition. Chen Hong, Wu Yujuan and Jin Lili are just the three people. Once contacted, the audition will be arranged.

Okay, let's just say this first.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yan looked at his watch. Seeing that it was still early, he went to the piano room to practice the piano for a while.

The reason why Zhou Yan thought of Chen Hong was actually because of Teng Wenji. If that guy knew that Chen Hong came to act in his drama, he would definitely not be happy.

Of course, Zhou Yan didn't exactly want to make Teng Wenji uncomfortable. He did think that Chen Hong was quite suitable for the role of the heroine in Tree Hole.

The heroine and the hero in Tree Hole only got married after the hero became a village girl. Before that, the hero had unrequited love because the heroine was a well-known village beauty.

When the male protagonist was trapped in a tree hole, he also imagined the female protagonist's face.

So from the appearance point of view, Chen Hong is even more suitable for the heroine than Chen Xiaoyi, because she is pretty enough.

…

In the morning, as soon as Chen Hong arrived at the troupe, the director called her to the office.

When they arrived at the office, Chen Hong asked with a smile, Captain, do you have any orders from me?

The Bayi Studio called and asked if you are willing to audition.

What mirror are you trying on?

The Bayi Film Company and Tomson Film Company collaborated on a movie called Tree Hole, directed by Wu Ziniu.

A tree hole? Chen Hong asked unexpectedly.

Team leader Liu Qinghe looked at Chen Hong, Do you know this movie?

I think I've heard of this novel.

You are still paying attention to this. Tree Hole seems to be adapted from a novel. If you are interested, just call them yourself. I have the phone numbers of Bayi Factory and Tomson Company here. You can call either one. .”

With that said, Liu Qinghe handed Chen Hong a note.

Chen Hong took the note and nodded with a smile, Thank you, leader.

You're welcome. Just remember to do good things about our group when you go out next time.

sure.

Okay, let's go out.

When Chen Hong left the office, Liu Qinghe sighed slightly. In fact, he didn't want the people in his group to borrow money every day, but he also knew that with the current market situation, it would be impossible not to borrow money.

Right now, it's just a secondment based on the play. In the future, some departments might just lend Chen Hong and not return it. There are too many such situations. Anyway, Chen Hong is destined not to stay in their Qingyi Troupe for too long.

Chen Hong took the note and went out, found a phone and dialed the number of Tomson Film Company.

The person who answered the phone was a girl.

Hello.

Hello, I am Chen Hong from Qingyi Theater Company. Is this the Tomson Film Company?

The other party obviously knew Chen Hong, and the girl smiled and said, It's Chen Hong. We and Bayi Film Studio are making a movie called Tree Hole. Are you interested in participating?

Of course I'm interested.

Since you are interested, there will be an audition at the Bayi Factory the day after tomorrow. You can just go there then.

Do I need to prepare anything? Chen Hong asked.

No, just go directly and give Director Wu Ziniu's name.

Chen Hong nodded, Okay.

…

Zhou Yan did not attend the audition for the heroine of Tree Hole because there was some delay at school.

In fact, it doesn't matter whether he goes or not. The main thing is to see Wu Ziniu.

Tomson invited a total of three people, Jin Lili, Wu Yujuan and Chen Hong. However, Jin Lili has been busy recently and was unable to join the group immediately, so only Wu Yujuan and Chen Hong participated in the audition. The final result was that Chen Hong was selected to take over Chen Xiaoyi's role in The heroine of Tree Hole.

This matter was done very quickly, only a few days passed.

After the matter was settled, Wu Ziniu called Zhou Yan.

Chen Hong performed very well during the audition. Your recommendation is really good.

Zhou Yan smiled and said, As long as it doesn't delay the filming process, everything will be fine.

There was basically no delay. I asked Chen Hong to come to the crew for a period of time to get used to it. After a while, I started to officially shoot her scenes. When will you come to the scene to visit the crew? You are the author of the original work, the screenwriter and the soundtrack director, so you don't have to worry about me filming. Is the stuff not as good as you like?

Zhou Yan said with a smile, Well, now it's all up to you. Even if you don't follow the script, I can't do anything to you. But I will definitely go to the crew. Next week, I will go there sometime. trip.

Then I will wait for your arrival.

…

Not long after Zhou Yan and Wu Ziniu talked on the phone, they received another call from Xu Feng.

As soon as the call was connected, Xu Feng said, There is good news and there is bad news. Which one do you choose to listen to first?

Zhou Yan asked with a smile, Are your two pieces of news related to Tree Hole?

Of course it doesn't matter. Hasn't the matter of the heroine in Tree Hole been resolved?

Well, then I choose to hear the bad news first.

The bad news is that the box office performance of The Piano Boy in France and Germany is mediocre. In France, the number of admissions per week is less than 50,000... Actually, it is not that bad news. After all, the cost is only a few hundred thousand. Just U.S. dollars.”

Zhou Yan is not surprised that The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly did not become as popular as Neon. Nowadays, if Chinese movies want to be popular in Europe and the United States, they must do something special, such as martial arts and opera. Many European and American audiences will bring a Enter the cinema with a curious mentality.

The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly lacks such characteristics.

In fact, around 50,000 visitors a week is not bad, and if there are more than 100,000 visitors later, it is considered a good achievement.

Where's the good news? Zhou Yan asked.

Xu Feng laughed and said, The good news is that this movie has been spotted by a French director and he hopes to adapt it.

Zhou Yan said unexpectedly, It has only been released in France for a week, and a director wants to adapt it?

Well, I'm surprised too. I've never seen it go so fast before.

What's the name of this director? Zhou Yan asked.

Let me see...his name is Olivier Dahan.

Zhou Yan thought for a while and didn't think of this name, but it wasn't surprising since he didn't know much about French directors.

And this director is definitely not famous now, otherwise Xu Feng wouldn't be able to name it and still have to look it up.

Has he made any movies before?

Unfortunately, he has not made any movies before. If you agree to give him the adaptation of The Piano Boy Who Wants to Fly, it will also be his first movie.

Hearing this, Zhou Yan was very puzzled. Which serious director's debut film would be adapted from another movie?

Apart from other things, the cost of adapting a movie is not comparable to that of an original movie. No matter how bad a movie is, the adaptation fee will still cost a lot of money.

And ordinary directors don’t want their first work to have the shadow of others. The first time is always precious. In addition, the movie was released for such a short time that it can be said that this person basically made his decision after watching the movie without even considering the subsequent response to the movie.

Sister Feng, haven't we met a liar?

Xu Feng smiled and said, I just heard about this, and I had the same idea as you, so I called and asked about this person. Not to mention, the director actually knows him. He is a dream chaser in his twenties with a professional background. .”

Why do I still feel unreliable? Hasn't he even made a short film before?

No.

Then I feel...

But his bid is quite high. The adaptation fee is US$150,000. According to the contract we signed, you can get the majority of the money.

Well, I feel that young people should be more supportive. I am also a young man myself, about the same age as him. If it hadn't been for your support before, Sister Feng, it would have been difficult for me to take the first step.

Hearing Zhou Yan's change of subject, Xu Feng laughed and said, Do you think we can talk?

We can talk about it. Zhou Yan smiled, But we still have to check. Although 150,000 US dollars is quite a lot, I still hope that the movie won't be ruined by others.

Don't worry about this. I'm not going to Cannes next month. I'll make an appointment with him then and have an in-depth chat. I'll know after we talk about whether he has the ability to make a movie. If this guy is not bad, I I think this is also a good opportunity.”

Zhou Yan nodded, It is indeed a good opportunity.

Okay, let's just say this for now. I won't say anything else until I talk to him next month.

I wish you success in Cannes.

Victory, victory.

…

At Yanjing Studio, Li Honggang walked around the office and was about to go to the crew office of The Sixth Sense when Sun Xu from the director's office came over and called him, Li Hong, Director Teng asked you to do something.

Director Teng? Li Hong looked confused.

Teng Wenji had just arrived at Yanjing Factory not long ago, and he had not made a movie. He had no contact with their scriptwriters, and neither of them had spoken.

What does Director Teng have to do with me, Brother Sun?

Sun Xu shook his head, I don't know about that, I'm just an errand boy.

All right.

Li Hong nodded and went to the director's office with a puzzled look on his face.

When Teng Wenji saw Li Hong coming, he smiled kindly and said, You must be Li Hong.

Seeing Teng Wenji's smile, Li Hong felt a little more relaxed and said, Hello, Director Teng.

Are you busy now? Go and help me pick up something from the set of Song of Fire.

Li Hong wondered, Director Teng, I'm afraid I can't help you with this. The crew of Song of Fire is too far away from the factory. Most of the day has passed after this time. I have other things to do today.

What else do you want?

Director Teng, you have just arrived. You may not know yet, but I am currently on the crew of The Sixth Sense. The crew is having a small meeting today and I must be there.

The Sixth Sense? Why didn't I know there was such a movie in our factory?

It was co-produced by Tomson Company and us. You may not have heard of it when you first came here.

The smile on Teng Wenji's face was gone at this moment, You mean, you don't want to do our own work in the factory, but you want to go and work for others?

Director Teng, I don't mean that. The Sixth Sense is a co-production, but it is also our factory's own project...

Before Li Hong finished speaking, Teng Wenji said again, Or do you think it's hard for me to speak well when I'm new here?

Seeing Teng Wenji's behavior, Li Hong also felt that something was wrong. He was smart and understood that Teng Wenji was definitely not targeting him. The two of them had no grudges in the past and have no grudges in recent times. Moreover, there was a huge disparity in status. There was no need for Teng Wenji to cause trouble for him.

But Li Hong didn't think that Teng Wenji had a problem with Zhou Yan. He thought that Teng Wenji had a conflict with Director Chen and the others. After all, The Sixth Sense was the job Director Chen named him to do, and he himself was assigned to Zhou Yan by Director Chen. .

Li Hong certainly didn't want to get involved in a power struggle. He smiled and said, Director Teng, I really don't mean that. I really can't help you with this matter. And it's not within the scope of our department's responsibilities to pick up things. Of course, if I have time, I am very willing to help you with this. If you are not in a hurry, how about I pick it up for you tomorrow morning?

Teng Wenji looked at Li Hong up and down and said, Young people still need to keep their eyes open and see clearly the road ahead. Who is worthy of trust and who is not worthy of trust? If you don't understand this clearly, you will definitely fall into trouble in the future. How many months will it take to film The Sixth Sense? Two months, three months? Or half a year? Even if it takes half a year to film, will you still have to come back in the end?

Li Hong frowned. When he heard Teng Wenji's words, why did he feel that he was not targeting Director Chen, but the crew of The Sixth Sense?

Does Teng Wenji have any opinions on the crew of The Sixth Sense?

He asked tentatively, Director Teng, do you mean to tell me not to go to the set of The Sixth Sense?

Teng Wenji smiled and said, You are quite sensible.

Why? Li Hong asked.

Teng Wenji narrowed his eyes, I just complimented you, but I started to act stupid again. Don't ask about some things that you shouldn't ask about.

After confirming that Teng Wenji had objections to The Sixth Sense, the smile on Li Hong's face disappeared.

If Teng Wenji just had a conflict with Factory Director Chen, then he should handle it carefully and ensure that neither party gets offended.

But Teng Wenji actually wanted to join the crew of The Sixth Sense, and Li Hong was the first to disagree. He has just been promoted to assistant director, and his future is bright.

During this period, Li Hong felt a little more motivated when he got up every morning than before. Every day he would go around the factory first, and then immediately run to the crew of The Sixth Sense. Even if he didn't do anything, he would just He felt happy even when he was in the crew's office, because there he was the director's assistant, while in the factory he was just an ordinary recorder.

In his spare time, Li Hong was also thinking wildly. He worked as a director's assistant to Zhou Yan and Wang Xiaoshuai in the movie The Sixth Sense. Is there any hope of becoming an assistant director or executive director in the next movie?

After working as an executive director for a few years, do you also hope to become a director yourself and direct films independently?

He doesn't have high demands. As long as he can make a small-budget movie in six or seven years, he will be satisfied.

And all his plans and fantasies are based on The Sixth Sense. If there is a problem with The Sixth Sense, then there will be problems with his life.

Therefore, when he learned that Teng Wenji had opinions about The Sixth Sense, his tone became sharp.

Director Teng, I don't know what your opinion is on The Sixth Sense, but since I'm on the crew of The Sixth Sense now, I must put my mind on the crew. If you are really in a hurry to get something , you can ask others, if there is nothing else, I have to leave first.

After speaking, Li Hong turned around and left without waiting for Teng Wenji's response.

Looking at Li Hong's back, Teng Wenji's face was uncertain and his expression was very ugly.

Fortunately, there was no one in the office at the moment, otherwise he would have lost face. He did not expect that this guy Li Hong was so tough.

After thinking for a while in his seat, Teng Wenji got up and walked to the factory director's office.

Chen Zhigu was reading the samples of the new issue of Film Creation. When he saw Teng Wenji, he said with a smile, Director Teng, do you have anything to do with me? Come, sit down and chat.

Teng Wenji waved his hand, Just tell me something and I won't sit down anymore. I'm here to ask for someone, Director Chen.

You want someone? Who do you want? Chen Zhigu asked doubtfully.

Teng Wenji smiled and said, I am currently preparing for the movie Xiangxiang Naoyoufang and I need an assistant.

Oh, I'm short of assistants. That's easy to handle. How about Sun Xu? He has strong professional skills, and the young man is also quite lively. And I think you get along well.

Teng Wenji shook his head, Sun Xu has something to do himself, and I don't have much work in the early stage. It would be a waste to use him.

Chen Zhigu asked doubtfully, Then you are...

I think the young man named Li Hong is good. Teng Wenji said.

Hearing him mention Li Hong, Chen Zhigu smiled and said, Well, Li Hong is indeed a good young man. He is cheerful and has good communication skills. Moreover, the young man is motivated and enthusiastic. It's just...

What's wrong? Teng Wenji asked.

It's just that you came a step late. Li Hong has already been sent away by Zhou Yan, and now Li Hong has joined the crew of The Sixth Sense to do scene work.

Teng Wenji laughed and said, He is just a field manager in The Sixth Sense, how can he get any promotion? Isn't this a waste of talent? I think so, assign a new field manager to their crew and replace Li Hong.

This... Chen Zhigu was a little embarrassed. After all, Zhou Yan asked Li Hong by name, so it would not be good to come back suddenly.

Teng Wenji sighed, Well, I just came here and it's difficult to carry out many tasks... Director Chen, if you find it difficult, just forget about it and I'll look for it myself to see if there are any suitable candidates.

Hearing the connotation in Teng Wenji's words, Chen Zhigu also sighed secretly.

Teng Wenji is different from ordinary directors. This guy has wide connections and seniority in the film industry. He is also the vice president of the Film Directors Association. He has just been transferred from Chang'an Factory. If this small requirement is not met, he, the director of the factory, said You may end up with a reputation of being jealous of talents.

Okay, no problem, I'll tell Zhou Yan about this.

Teng Wenji smiled and nodded, Thank you very much, director. I will take good care of Li Hong.

Hey, this Li Hong is also very lucky to be chosen by you.

After Teng Wenji left, Chen Zhigu called Zhou Yan and briefly told him about the substitution.

Zhou Yan was drawing the storyboard for The Sixth Sense at home. When he heard Chen Zhigu say that Li Hong was going to be replaced, he frowned, Director Chen, why do we need to replace people like this? Is there something wrong with our crew? , or is there something wrong with Li Hong?

Chen Zhigu smiled and said, There are no problems, everything is fine. Moreover, Li Hong performed so well that Director Teng took notice of him. Director Teng is preparing for a new movie now. If he wants an assistant, he wants Li Hong. Be his assistant. This is also a good thing. Li Hong can train behind Director Teng, which is definitely beneficial to him.

Zhou Yan knew there was a problem as soon as he heard that it was Teng Wenji's important person.

How many days has Teng Wenji been in Yanjing Factory? There were so many people in Yanjing Studio, how could he know Li Hong?

Even if you know that there is a person like Li Hong, how long will it take before you can understand Li Hong's abilities?

He wanted to make a new movie and needed an assistant. There were so many people in the director's office and the screenwriter's office, but he didn't want to find one. He had to find a scene recorder?

No matter what, Teng Wenji was also targeting him.

This Teng Wenji is really a villain. Like his student Li Jiehan, he likes to play tricks outside the game.

After pondering for a moment, Zhou Yan said, Director Chen, it's not that I won't let him go. Li Hong has been in the crew recently and has been involved in many things. You suddenly have to replace someone, and a lot of work has to be done again. This is not a delay. Is it something? Our investment in this movie is 16 million, and the shooting time is calculated as 90 days. If we are delayed by one day, the loss will be close to 20,000.

Chen Zhigu was also a little surprised. Although he knew that it was not good to make a temporary substitution, Zhou Yan's reaction was a bit too big. He even raised the idea of ​​losing 20,000 yuan in one day.

Chen Zhigu originally thought it was a simple matter, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult. At this time, Chen Zhigu also felt that something was wrong. Is there any conflict between Teng Wenji and Zhou Yan?

Zhou Yan, I also know that it is not good to replace people temporarily, but after all, Director Teng has just come to our factory, so it is not good for me to refuse the first request. How about this, you two can talk?

Zhou Yan didn't want to argue with Teng Wenji. He smiled and said, Director Chen, do we also have to respect Li Hong's wishes? The so-called forceful melon is not sweet, if Li Hong doesn't want to stay on our crew , then I’ll just let him go without saying anything.”

Chen Zhigu rolled his eyes, don't guess at this matter, the result is clear at a glance.

Not only Li Hong, when the factory allocated manpower to the crew of The Sixth Sense, everyone was very active and willing to go there, and a lot of people volunteered.

The reason is simple. It's fun to be on Zhou Yan's crew. Zhou Yan is not only a nice person, but also the treatment of the crew is very good. It's much better than going out to make movies with other directors in the factory. (End of chapter)
