Rebirth: I'm filming extra scenes on the set

Chapter 82 Go and shock them

"Chen Cheng, tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, Hengdian Love Sea Hotel, please be ready."

After a brief reunion with Yang Mi, Chen Cheng returned to the company.

The next day, Wang Hua took a document to Chen Cheng's office.

"Is this an audition?"

"Why audition? You're not an actor. However, considering the strength of CCTV, it's probably similar to an audition. There are two people in charge of the recruitment of the first assistant director. One is Yu Mingsheng, the chief director of The Lotus Lantern, and the other is the producer Li Jian. At the same time, Li Jian also represents the producer CCTV."

"You have five competitors, namely Huayi, Chengtian, Tangren, Rong Xinda, and several assistant directors from Huace. You are ranked last, but that's okay. The first assistant director hasn't been decided yet, so it's hard to say who will be chosen."

Wang Hua told Chen Cheng a series of information about the Lotus Lantern crew.

Chen Cheng nodded.

It is normal that Chen Cheng ranks sixth.

As for the reason.

That means you don't have enough qualifications.

No matter how talented Chen Cheng is, his seniority is also a reflection of his ability.

Chen Cheng had never been the first assistant director before, and had only been involved in behind-the-scenes production for a relatively short time.

CCTV has already given Hengdian Film and Television a lot of face by allowing Chen Cheng to go.

After thinking for a while, Chen Cheng asked, "Do you have the script for The Lotus Lantern?"

"I don't have the complete script, but I can get you a condensed version."

"no problem."

In fact, Chen Cheng had quite a few impressions of The Lotus Lantern.

However, it has been decades, and Chen Cheng can't remember many of the plots.

Half an hour later.

Wang Hua found a script for Chen Cheng.

"Thanks, Brother Hua."

The script is not complete, but it's okay.

Chen Cheng took a look and found that it was basically the same as the Precious Lotus Lantern from his previous life.

"How's it going? Are you sure?"

"Brother Hua, are you looking forward to me so much?"

"Why don't I look forward to asking you to go? Who knows if you can bring me a miracle. If you can become the deputy director of the Lotus Lantern this time, it will be a pride for our Hengdian Film and Television."

"Brother Hua, what's going on? What's the grudge?"

"There is no grudge. It's just that Hengdian Film and Television was established not long ago. Although the hardware foundation is good, the soft power is average. Many of the behind-the-scenes production staff we signed before were also average, and they were unable to get a decent big production. Therefore, in the circle, we are more or less looked down upon by others."

"understand."

Wang Hua is a man of temperament.

Chen Cheng understood these words very well.

The entertainment industry is a very realistic circle.

If you fail to achieve results, you will always be looked down upon.

Look at the script.

Chen Cheng thought for a moment and said, "It's impossible to completely take over the first assistant director. However, it's not completely hopeless."

"Okay, I feel much more relieved with your words."

Without disturbing Chen Cheng any further, Wang Hua left the office.

Chen Cheng devoted the rest of his time to this script.

and.

I also wrote biographies of several major characters, especially the supporting actors.

……

The next day.

Wang Hua and Chen Cheng came to the Aegean Sea Hotel.

Producer Li Jian and the chief director had not arrived yet, so the staff took them to the lounge to rest.

"Boss Wang, I thought you weren't coming."

Just entered the lounge.

At this time, a voice sounded.

Wang Hua smiled and replied, "It's Mr. Qian. You have so many resources at Huayi, come too."

As they spoke, Wang Hua and Chen Cheng chose two seats to sit down.

Mr. Qian from Huayi replied, "Huayi has a lot of resources, but The Lotus Lantern is a big production of CCTV. Who wouldn't want to have such resources? Who is this?"

Before Wang Hua could introduce him, a voice rang out from the side: "Mr. Qian, let me introduce you. This is Chen Cheng, a famous martial arts instructor and director. He was with me in the Legend of Sword and Fairy crew before."

Chen Cheng was very familiar with this voice, and upon closer look, he found that it was an old acquaintance.

"Boss Wu?"

Chen Cheng was surprised and delighted to find that it was Wu Jingyuan: "Why are you here?"

Wu Jingyuan smiled and said, "Only you can come, I can't come."

"He's also a famous martial arts instructor and director."

Mr. Qian from Huayi hummed, "I wonder what masterpiece Director Chen will have?"

Wu Jingyuan pulled Chen Cheng to the other side and said, "Ignore them. Let's talk on the other side."

As he spoke, Wu Jingyuan also greeted Wang Hua.

Wang Hua nodded with a smile, indicating that they could do whatever they wanted.

"Chen Cheng, sure. I wanted you to sign with Tangren at that time, but I didn't expect you to sign with Hengdian Film and Television."

"Our strength does not allow it, so we can only sign with Hengdian first."

"Just stop talking nonsense."

Wu Jingyuan went on to say: "However, it's good for you to sign with Hengdian Film and Television. Their hardware resources are too terrifying. They are unrivaled in China, and every crew will give them some face."

"That's what I said, but my level is not good enough, so it's useless to come. Besides, the producer this time is CCTV, but I heard that they don't really buy our account."

"What's the big deal? CCTV just doesn't buy our story. Look, they asked us to audition like actors."

"Uh, what's it like normally?"

In his previous life, Chen Cheng had only been an actor and had never been an assistant director.

I didn't know some basic operations, so I asked.

"Sometimes it's a phone call, sometimes we just go for tea...that's it."

"So simple."

"What do you think."

Wu Jingyuan said: "After all, the director also needs to save face."

"Then why do you want to save face and come here?"

"Ahem... CCTV, I can save my face for a moment."

……

Half an hour later, producer Li Jian and chief director Yu Mingsheng arrived.

The first contracted director of Huayi also entered the director's office.

But only for ten minutes.

Huayi came out.

Wang Hua was delighted and gave a thumbs up to Mr. Qian: "Mr. Qian, you Huayi are really quick shooters, you have style."

Mr. Qian glared at Wang Hua and said, "Tsk, you guys are not much better."

talking.

Mr. Qian didn't stay here for long and left directly.

The next person was a director recommended by Chengtian Entertainment, whom Chen Cheng didn’t know.

This person took a little longer to enter, about half an hour.

Then there are Rong Xinda, Huace, and Tangren.

These three.

Wu Jingyuan, who was recommended by Tangren, talked the longest.

We arrived at the hotel in the morning, but Wu Jingyuan's work was not finished yet.

Wang Hua was a little unsure, but he held back and said nothing.

Chen Cheng was relatively calm.

He has a good relationship with Wu Jingyuan and knows his abilities. If The Lotus Lantern chooses Wu Jingyuan as the first assistant director, Chen Cheng will be happy for him.

I had a working lunch at the hotel at noon.

At this time, Wu Jingyuan walked out of the director's office.

Chen Cheng went over to him and said, "Old Wu, how is it?"

"Overall, they're similar, but I feel like you're more suitable than me."

"what?"

Chen Cheng was stunned.

Wu Jingyuan patted Chen Cheng on the shoulder and said, "What? Others may not know your strength, but I, Old Wu, don't know it either. Go ahead and shock them..."
