rewrite life

The three-day college entrance examination is like a watershed in life for all students in the third year of high school. After passing it, it will be a vacation of more than two months. After that, they can wake up at [-] o'clock every morning and stay up at night. There is no need to review textbooks and do homework, so it feels... so cool.

However, when all the students were busy tearing up textbooks and going on a trip, Tang Shi was overwhelmed with inspiration because of the high-pressure life of these three months.Especially after the college entrance examination is over, when everyone goes back to school to evaluate their grades, apply for the exam, get their graduation certificates, and take graduation photos... Looking around at the unfamiliar or familiar classmates who have studied together for three years, it is hard to see them anymore. The teachers who squeezed their classmates to study and showed a kind demeanor looked at the plants and trees on the campus that they knew so well that they could never forget them even if they closed their eyes. Those three years of high school memories in my previous life.

Some people say that the green years will always be the most beautiful memory in life, because of simplicity, because of purity, because time is gone forever.Moved by such sensuality...Tang Shi combined his student life to write a movie script about youth and growth.

Probably because most of the life described in the script was experienced by himself, so Tang Shi's creation went very smoothly.In less than half a month, the nearly 20-word script has been written.

As the winner of the Best Screenplay and Best Picture of the Olek Awards, Tang Shi's book is naturally not worried about no one's investment.In fact, with Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi's current worth, even if they invest in this book by themselves, they can do a job with ease.Anyway, considering the current prices, if Tang Shi wanted to make such a youth-themed movie, even if he did his best to make a big investment and fine-tuned production... it would probably cost him 2000 million yuan.

But there is an old saying that is true, try not to eat alone when you can, lest the benefits are too good to make people jealous.So Tang Shi contacted Emperor Entertainment's Zhou Boyun immediately after the script was completed.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Boyun didn't even ask about the specific details of the movie after receiving Tang Shi's call, and directly told the finance minister that he had invested 1000 million in Tang Shi, and he also promised very proudly on the phone: "If the money is not enough, Just write a report to me, and I will continue to invest more.”

For Zhou Boyun, no matter what Tang Shi wants to make, no matter whether Tang Shi's film can make money, he will not let go of this investment opportunity.Because for the current domestic entertainment industry, the value represented by the name Tang Shi alone is more than 1000 million.

That's why Zhou Boyun was so generous at this moment.Because if the film made makes money, Emperor Entertainment will not lose money.If the movie doesn't make money, then Emperor Entertainment won Tang Shi's goodwill and guilt, and then they will ask Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi to lower their prices to help the company make more movies...it still won't lose money.

Of course, Tang Shi didn't know about Zhou Boyun's calculations, or he didn't bother to pay attention.Because after more than three months of shooting, the movie "Lottery" has been successfully completed.

As investors and producers of this movie, Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi invited all the main creative staff out for a wrap-up banquet after the movie was officially finished.

In order to show that they are not the kind of hard-headed, iron-cock-like bosses, and at the same time, to show how much they value the crew members, Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi set the meal at the very famous Zhangjia private kitchen in Kyoto.It is said that the owner of this restaurant used to be an imperial chef, so he has a lot of secret recipes.Even if it is the same ordinary dish of minced meat and bean sprouts, it has a special flavor when it is cooked by the chef of Zhang's private kitchen.

Thanks to Lu Hengzhi's blessing in his previous life, Tang Shi came here to eat a meal. He was very amazed by the crystal knuckle and sliced ​​suckling pig. The greatest happiness in the world.And when he wanted to invite the crew to dinner in this life, he happened to be greedy for this taste again, so Tang Shi put the wrap-up banquet here without saying a word.

On that day, I don’t know whether it was because of the dining environment or the people who ate, which caused psychological pressure on everyone. The performance of several main creators including the director was somewhat restrained at the dinner table.Originally Tang Shi imagined that everyone was overwhelmed by the food, and the scene of praise did not appear. Except for him and Lu Hengzhi, even though everyone concealed it well, they still showed a sense of nervousness and absent-mindedness.

Tang Shisi thought about it, and attributed this state to the fact that most people are not too open when they have dinner with their bosses—especially when these two bosses are two super famous superstars in the industry.

Tang Shi thought so complacently.

After drinking for three rounds, the two directors and the main actors of the crew relaxed a little.Because everyone has now signed a brokerage contract with Sugar Juice Studio, and with the help of alcohol, everyone invariably asked Tang Shi about their future work.For them, although they have high hopes for the movie "The Lottery", they hope that after the movie is released, they can change their current situation and make their acting career better.But the reality is always cruel. Xu Hao and Zhang Ye, two directors and screenwriters who signed contracts with Sugar Juice Studio, were better off.

But Li Bao and Yan Hai are both family-led—either they are married and have wives and children to support, or even though they are not married, they have to post money home every month to support the elderly.Only Jin Zheng, who is popular on the small screen, is in a better situation. At least Jin Zheng, who has flourished in TV dramas, has no need for money.However, Jin Zheng was very eager to have a place on the big screen, so he also asked Tang Shi what movie he was going to make next in a very coy way.

Looking at the predicament and desperation of these first-line movie stars who entered the multi-billion member club one after another in a few years, making investors waving money to beg for performances, Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi lamented that the feng shui of the times has changed. Behind the success, there is a long sad history covered by flowers and applause.

After understanding the expectations of their actors, Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi told the three of them very understandingly that they would invest in the filming of a 2000 million "huge sum" youth movie "Our Youth", and invited Jin Zheng to play the role of a girl who just An intern teacher who graduated from university and came to the school to report.As for the other two...the local dicks on their bodies really don't fit the image of youth movies, so Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi simply put people into Emperor Entertainment—anyway, Emperor invests in more than a thousand movies every year, so two pairs It's really easy to go in and experience the character with no requirements.

After the wrap-up banquet, Tang Shi sent the film to Emperor Entertainment for post-processing, and then Emperor Entertainment was responsible for submitting it for review, and finally put the film's release date on the National Day golden time.But these are things for later, let's not mention them for now.

Let’s just say that in mid-July, when the college entrance examination scores came down, Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi were admitted to the Department of Chinese Language and Literature and the Department of Business Administration of Capital University with high scores of 670 and 680 respectively.

It just so happens that the movie "Our Youth" also has many scenes in university colleges.Tang Shi simply put forward a request to the Capital University for shooting and framing as a student, and got an affirmative reply.

As for the high school scene, Tang Shi finally chose No. [-] Middle School of X City in order to commemorate his high school life and to promote his alma mater.

As for the director, Tang Shi contacted Dong Jiaqing, a well-known director in the circle who is best at youth-themed movies.The two parties had cooperated once in the big movie "Dancing Miracle" before, and both left a good impression on each other.The last cooperation was very entertaining and the results were not bad.Therefore, after reading Tang Shi's notebook, Dong Jiaqing took the notebook without hesitation.

As for the casting, the male lead is naturally Lu Hengzhi, the supporting male is Tang Shi himself, and the female lead... Considering age and other factors, Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi finally decided to use a newcomer.The heroine does not need to be too beautiful, but she must be pure, sunny, have a student atmosphere, and have the temperament of a school girl. Of course, she must also have certain acting skills.

Regarding Tang Shi's request, Dong Jiaqing expressed that she could not deny it.Anyway, with the current reputation of the sugar juice group, as soon as the news of the audition for the heroine is released, the actresses who want to audition are like fish in a river.

Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, it almost aroused crazy attention across the country.Not to mention those famous or not famous actresses, as well as the female students in the film school, even some girls in the society who are conceited in appearance and dream of becoming famous overnight have sent their resumes to try try your luck.What's more worth mentioning is that the contestants of several talent shows that year also submitted their resumes one after another.In order to create a greater impact, Tang Shi even opened up the official website of "Our Youth" on the Internet, and put the photos of all the girls who submitted their resumes online, and invited all netizens to vote for "the school belle in your mind". ", and then choose the most suitable heroine based on the image of the heroine depicted in the script and the real performance of these girls.

Tang Shi, who is well versed in the hype methods of later generations, also cooperated with Langlang Blog to launch an essay solicitation activity about "our youth". All netizens can write about their youth and first love history in the blog, and netizens will vote Select the ten most popular blog posts, No.1 is the special prize, which can get a bonus of 10 yuan issued by Sugar Juice Studio, No.2 and No.3 are the first prize, and can get a bonus of 8 yuan.The fourth, fifth, and sixth place are the second prizes, and they can get a bonus of 5 yuan. No.7 to No.10 are the third prizes, which can get 2 yuan bonus.And if the article is exciting enough, there is a chance that the copyright will be bought by Sugar Juice Studio and adapted into a film and television work.

After this battle, the movie "Our Youth" has already won the attention and active participation of the general public and the media just like the big movie "Dancing Miracle" before it started shooting.

Finally, after several layers of screening and assessment by Tangjue Studio, a girl named Zhang Chumo, a sophomore at the Capital Film Academy, won the role of the heroine of the film.When this girl with a delicate face, a pure temperament, and a bit of melancholy between her eyebrows and eyes stood in front of him, Tang Shi couldn't help but secretly feel happy——

Because although this girl's reputation is not obvious now, after three years, this girl will play the heroine Gu Wanqiu in the spy film "The Flower of the Past" shot by the famous director Wang Chenghan. The acting skills conquered all the audience and all the judges of the Water City Film Festival, and won the throne of the queen in one fell swoop.

Some people are born to stand on this stage.As long as you give her a chance, she can bloom the most dazzling light.

Looking at the movie contract and brokerage contract he just signed with Zhang Chumo, Tang Shi smiled contentedly and rolled his eyes.

Sure enough, the biggest golden finger of rebirth is "foresight". Only foresight can pull down so many treasures with quick eyesight and quick hands.As long as there are such a group of actors who are more profitable than money printing machines, even if the future Sugar Juice Studio does nothing, it will still be able to make a lot of money, and people will not be able to drool.

But under the bliss there must be a bad heart.Because of the signing of Zhang Chumo to play the heroine by Tangjue Studio, Lin Xia and Lin's mother were also unhappy with Tang Shi.Think Tang Shi and Lu Hengzhi "have no conscience, don't know how to support their own family".He even urged Professor Lin to call over to ask for favors, but after Tang Shi explained over and over again that he should respect his own creation, he wanted new faces to give the audience a new feeling, and the heroine he wanted must not have more than 20 actors. After insisting on their claims, Lin Xia and Lin's mother had to give up the idea of ​​persuading Tang Shi to let Lin Xia be the heroine.

However, Lin Xia and Lin's mother were not reconciled, and finally asked Tang Shi for the role of an intern female teacher, and even wanted to persuade Tang Shi to add drama to this role.However, when Tang Shi rejected Lin Xia's request, Lin Xia was sensible and did not cause any more trouble.

As for some insignificant supporting roles that will appear in the next movie, Tang Shi invited the other top ten contestants of "Dancing Miracle" based on the plan of not letting the money go to outsiders.For some other important roles of teachers and elders, Tangjue Studio has also invited some old actors in the circle to play them.

So with everything in place, the crew of "Our Youth" finally officially started on a sunny and auspicious day in August.
