I have nothing to do

Weng Chi was leaning on the bathroom table and focused on sending messages to Yan Yu, completely ignoring the people who came in and out. He didn't put his phone away until there was no news from Yan Yu, and then pretended to start washing his hands.

At this moment, Cheng Xinyuan also walked in. He saw Weng Chi pulling a piece of paper slowly wiping his fingers, and strangled him around his neck.

"Good boy, they all thought you fell into a pit, and sent me to pick you up."

"Almost, but my butt got stuck." Weng Chi said with a smile, "How about it, do you have any new ideas?"

"Have a little bit, isn't it waiting for the boss to go back and check it for us?" Cheng Xinyuan walked inside as he spoke. He opened his trousers and started to drain the water, but he didn't stop talking, "Anyway, get the license first, little one." Fan, the screenwriter, is quite reliable, and then you go back later... Hey, what are you going to do?"

Weng Chibai glanced at Cheng Xinyuan with the door wide open in front of him, and said that he went back to the private room first, his eyes were hot.

"You wear a scarf when you go to the toilet, you don't hurt your eyes!"

Cheng Xinyuan was actually very annoyed.

Although making a movie this time seemed to be his idea on a whim, in fact he had considered the transformation as early as a year ago.

In the past few years, he was keen on making literary films and some experimental films. On the one hand, he really liked it. On the other hand, he had no money. He was just a poor student studying in a foreign film school. If he hadn’t met Weng Chi, he might have When he was filming the first film, he was already heavily in debt. It was Lao Wang. His senior introduced Weng Chi to him. At that time, Weng Chi listened to him and chatted all night. After looking at the things he photographed in front of him, he decided to invest money.

Now it seems that the money was just pocket money for Weng Chi, but it was indeed the greatest support for me at the time. The film lived up to expectations and won a small award. Since then, Weng Chi has also started the cooperation model of investing money in his films. .

Weng Chi would sometimes joke that Cheng Xinyuan was a harvester of various film festival awards. Cheng Xinyuan always laughed, but he felt a little regretful in his heart, because although his films often won awards, like all literary films, his films , Applause or not.

He is the director who lives in every literary and youth film list on the Internet platform, but this is not his original intention.

Literary films are good, but to Cheng Xinyuan they are like desserts. Desserts are good-looking and delicious, but not satisfying. What Cheng Xinyuan wants to cook is a big meal, full of color, flavor and taste.

Moreover, he earned some fame for himself, but gave Weng Chi nothing in return. Weng Chi is not so much an investment as a charity.

After returning to China, Cheng Xinyuan was eager to prove himself, but his last film just won a silver award at a well-known film festival at this time, and the different interpretations of the film by various forces pushed him to the forefront at that time. A double-edged sword.

Don't give Cheng Xinyuan a sigh of relief. He doesn't understand the domestic film market or the environment. Fortunately, Lao Wang and Weng Chi take care of him, as well as Yan Yu.

If Old Wang is Cheng Xinyuan's guide, then Weng Chi is Cheng Xinyuan's pillar, and Yan Yu is more like Cheng Xinyuan's Xieyuhua.

He can understand every shot of himself and every crevice in his mind, he is like another self in the movie world.

Of course, these thoughts were all Cheng Xinyuan's wishful thinking, Yan Yu shouldn't be anyone, he should be himself.

Hey, Cheng Xinyuan originally thought that he could make a blockbuster movie smoothly, and then smoothly promote it, release it to the public, and get good word-of-mouth and box office results. In the end, he became a well-known director in the domestic film industry, a real director.

But now the script is stuck, and the film's various procedures also give Cheng Xinyuan a headache.

Because the previous cooperation between him and Weng Chi was a privately-owned film, and to put it bluntly, there were seven or eight guns with a dozen people. Even at the beginning, there were no ten of them.However, although the shooting was a bit hard, the whole process is much simpler and there are few restrictions. Sometimes Cheng Xinyuan will shoot a lot of shots and then filter and edit them in post-production to achieve the effect he wants. This is more a personal matter. The creative process is the expression of personal desires.

But the film to be shot now requires a lot of manpower and material resources as well as coordinating the working hours of various departments. In short, there are many and complicated things. Although there are traces to follow, Cheng Xinyuan's mind is full of muddleheadedness.

Although the domestic environment is still a director-centered system, at the beginning Cheng Xinyuan hoped to master the whole process by himself, and then find a producer in name, but after practice, he found that he could not do the job of a producer. He now needs a reliable producer, a producer who hits it off right away, a producer with connections and connections.

There is only one person suitable for this job, and that is Weng Chi.

Mingze also said that if he wants to pay, he can ask Weng Chi to talk.

But Cheng Xinyuan hadn't figured out how to tell Weng Chi that Weng Chi had just acquired his own company, and his relationship with Ming Ze was neither salty nor dull. Originally, the gathering tonight was for the whole script and to talk about Weng Chi. Chi tone.

But seeing Weng Chi, Cheng Xinyuan couldn't open his mouth, he decided to ask his brother Lao Wang for his opinion.

Old Wang is Director Wang, a senior who is two years older than him. Although the age difference is not too much, but Old Wang came out to study late, and Lao Wang's hair is pitifully short, so he looks much older, he and Cheng Xinyuan There are two ways to make a film, it can be said that they are completely different, but they can talk well. After returning to China, Lao Wang fought a few beautiful battles through several low-cost sweet water romance films, but the most recent film was temporarily suppressed because of the relationship between the heroine. , but Lao Wang has always been calm, and started a new journey without saying a word.

A project of Mingze Company asked Lao Wang to shoot, it was regarded as compensation to Lao Wang, now that Lao Wang has started the operation at the film and television city, Cheng Xinyuan decided to go to Lao Wang, tell Lao Wang about this matter and listen to him By the way, he also took a look at the filming scene of the blockbuster to familiarize himself with the domestic working environment.

I just want to meet Yan Yu before I leave. It’s best to turn Yan Yu there for two days. Anyway, Huanshan Film and Television City is not far from Jiangzhou, and it’s only about three hours by car. follow him.

So Cheng Xinyuan contacted Yan Yu the next day, and it turned out that Yan Yu happened to be on annual leave, and he didn't have any special arrangements. After Cheng Xinyuan proposed to go to Huanshan Film and Television City together, Yan Yu agreed after only a few seconds of consideration. Cheng Xinyuan was pleasantly surprised , I think this is the happiest thing in the recent period.

Weng Chi also knew about going to see Lao Wang. He didn't say he was going or not. He's also an actor, but Weng Chi didn't say whether it's a man or a woman, and Cheng Xinyuan didn't ask. Anyway, in their circle, everyone is familiar with sexual orientation. Cheng Xinyuan even thought, if Weng Chi asked him to assign a role for this person , he should agree.

Anyway, this is a horror movie, with many people and ghosts.
