Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 15 Future Big Shots
Collect money and do things.

Huang Ze started working on this new album with the staff of China Record Corporation.

It was not until eleven o'clock in the evening that Huang Ze finally finished arranging a song, even with the memory of his previous life.

"Excuse!"

"Finally done, see you tomorrow!"

"See you tomorrow night, go back and have a good rest."

Everyone said goodbye to each other and went back home.

Fortunately, the law is now strictly enforced, and Zhongchang is not far from home. Huang Ze is a man, so there is no need to worry about any safety issues. He returned home whistling all the way with the remaining 3,800 yuan in his pocket.

Hearing Huang Ze opening the door, my mother, who was sitting on the sofa, hurriedly picked up the food and went to the kitchen to heat it up.

He muttered while heating up the rice.

"How many days will you be busy? You won't be back until eleven?"

"I don't know either, but it will take about half a month, or no more than a month at most."

"Mom, you should go to bed earlier next time. Just leave the food there. I can heat it up myself when I get back."

"Stop talking about this." My mother's voice, which did not brook rejection, came from the kitchen.

"You just happen to be making a new film, and you have to go out to sing in the evening. You still want me to heat up the meal when you come back? Aren't you tired?"

"Mom will heat it up for you."

"As for you, you will be responsible for getting married and having children as soon as possible."

"Look, Mom, you're here again." Huang Ze felt warm and helpless.

It's really nice to be nice to you.

The nagging is real nagging.

Huang Ze rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "I'm almost a big star, how can I get married casually? What if my fans commit suicide because of my marriage?"

"I am doing this for the sake of my millions of fans."

"You think I'm stupid, don't you?" Mom walked out of the kitchen and rolled her eyes at Huang Ze. "Some people commit suicide for their significant other, some commit suicide because they were wronged, and some people are willing to die for the sake of whether to marry or not for a singer."

"Which fan is so stupid?"

"who do you think You Are?"

After scolding Huang Ze for a few words, my mother went back to the kitchen.

After a while, dinner was heated up.

Rice with shredded pork in fish flavor and a bowl of freshly made seaweed and egg yolk soup.

The food is quite good.

Although food coupons still exist at this time, the supply has also caught up. My family is not short of money. My mother works in the Power Supply Bureau, which is a good unit. In recent years, I have not had a bad time for food.

He finished it in no time. Perhaps because he was really tired today, Huang Ze fell asleep immediately.

……

In the following time, Huang Ze's life was very regular.

I recorded songs at Zhongchang in the evening.

During the day, I wandered around Shanghai with a map with Zhang Jianya, another assistant director in "The Spring of the Underachievers", my classmate from the same school.

Find a school that is suitable as a filming location.

"I don't know if anyone would think that working at the Shanghai Film Studio is so blissful after seeing the two of us. We don't have to go to work, we just wander around the streets every day, and they call it scouting locations."

Then he's going to do this too.

"arrive!"

When they arrived at a school that had several decades of history, the two went in to take a look.

After turning around, Huang Ze just shook his head.

"No! This school is a little too good."

A place for a bunch of naughty kids whose parents have given up on them to go to school is just like the internet addiction schools in later generations. If you make it so good, how much tuition will it cost!

Do parents still pay fees?

And the setting is in the suburbs. This building looks like it was built in the suburbs?

"Look at you. Last time you complained that the school only had one floor, but this time it's too good. It's really not easy to find a suitable one." Zhang Jianya complained.

"There's nothing we can do!" Huang Ze was also helpless.

"If there is only one layer, there is a very important scene that cannot be captured."

"It wasn't just a farewell, but the protagonist thought that no student would see him off. But when he looked up, he saw a bunch of little hands waving goodbye, accompanied by heavenly singing. Can you imagine that scene?"

"Yes!" "That's it." Huang Ze waved his hand, "Let's look for it. If it doesn't work, we can look for it in the suburbs. Find the best one. This thing can't be dealt with!"

Setting off again on his bicycle, Huang Ze began to miss the future life a little.

If it were back then, why would we even bother looking for a school?

Just build a suitable one, make it look old, and then ask someone to tear it down after the filming, without even leaving the foundation.

Wouldn’t it be great if we could build and demolish at the same time?

Even though there was nothing left.

But from the producer to the director to the script supervisor, all of them have benefits.

good for everyone.

But Huang Ze doesn't have the courage now, and no one will cooperate. Some of the old people in the factory do have real ideals.

Huang Ze couldn't let them become corrupt like him.

Besides, the budget for a film can only be controlled at around 500,000.

I don't know how much the film costs.

Are you still doing all this nonsense?

Can you still watch it after taking the photo?
Huang Ze doesn't want to commit a crime against the wind.

I searched for four days in a row.

I found a suitable one in the suburbs.

The only downside is that the yard is not big enough!

Huang Ze took a few photos with the camera issued by the factory and took them back to find Bai Cheng.

"Director Bai, we can give this school a try. It has a history of more than 60 years. It was built during the Beiyang era. There aren't many people in their school, so there are empty classrooms. I talked to the principal, and they are willing to cooperate with us in filming."

"It's just that the yard is a little small, and there are buildings all around it."

"Filming from the outside in can never achieve the effect of only seeing a path and trees, with the surroundings deep and quiet, which makes the audience know at a glance that this school is not simple."

Huang Ze sighed and looked like it was a pity.

The purpose is very simple, which is to let Director Bai propose to find a suitable place to build a school gate.

You can't make all the decisions for the director, right?

"Haha." Bai Cheng's eyelids drooped, and he glanced at Huang Ze, "You're still playing this trick on me? Don't you just want me to build a school gate?" "Okay, you and Xiao Zhang look for it again."

"If there is really nothing suitable, just build a school gate. You can build walls less than two meters wide on both sides and add a big iron gate in the middle. It shouldn't cost much, just the cost of materials."

After saying that, Bai Cheng smiled and stretched out his right hand.

"I only know how to build walls! I didn't expect that after several years, I can still master this skill, hahaha!"

"Okay, then Uncle Bai, you will be the one laying the first bricks."

"Okay, remember, keep looking. If you find a suitable one, don't build the set yourself. The budget for a film is limited. If we spend more, the studio will earn less."

"I know."

Huang Ze searched diligently for another two days, but was still not satisfied.

In the end, Bai Cheng had no choice but to decide to build the scene.

This is none of Huang Ze’s business.

After handing the assignment over to others, Huang Ze immediately started looking for roles.

The singing genius Morang in the film needs to go on a long journey, so he is placed at the end.

For the child who finally follows the protagonist, director Bai Cheng decided to use the child from "Under the Bridge", Fang Chao, a famous child star of this era.

Huang Ze then set his sights on another character that left a deep impression on people.

Meng Dan.

In the movie, he was wrongly accused of stealing money by the principal and was sent to the police station. After he was released, he took the opportunity to burn the children in the school.

Probably between sixteen and eighteen years old.

He looks fierce and doesn't look like a good person.

Moreover, for such a big actor, the audience's patience is rapidly decreasing, so it would be better to find someone with some acting experience.

After discussing it with Zhang Jianya, the two of them came to the Shanghai Middle School Art Troupe and went straight to the drama team!

Those who can act in a drama or a movie are always better than ordinary people.

Huang Ze glanced at the members of the drama troupe and saw a big name in the future.

He is almost 1.8 meters tall, thin, with a long face, narrow eyes, and heavy bags under his eyes. Some people may think that he has a bit of a hipster vibe, but Huang Ze always feels that this face is quite suitable for playing a villain.
