Entertainment: The joy of being a director is beyond your imagination

Chapter 1. "She seems to be plotting against you"

This is what a plagiarist is like. The one being plagiarized only needs to devote himself to writing the script, but as a plagiarist, Pei Ran has a lot of things to consider.

For example, after traveling through time, how can one film the copied script and monetize it?

----

An office building on the outskirts of Beijing.

In the office, Pei Ran stood by the window and smoked. He took a deep breath, and the nicotine mixed with the cold air was swept into his lungs. He blew out a smoke ring and immediately sat back in his office chair. "Three months."

Yes.

It has been exactly three months since I traveled to this parallel world.

In his previous life, he was just a social animal who worked overtime all day and all night in the film and television planning department of a media company and finally died suddenly. He closed his eyes and opened them again, and it was dark. He closed his eyes again and opened them again and he appeared in this office.

The time travel that only appeared in novels now happened to Pei Ran, making him a little at a loss.

Just when he was about to insult God and decided to carve the word "miserable" on the root of God's thigh, the standard "system" of online novels appeared.

There were no mission requirements, and no idiotic operation that would turn one into a eunuch if one failed. The appearance of Brother Tongzi was just to introduce Pei Ran's situation, and Brother Tongzi also gave a novice gift package and introduced himself by the way.

The situation is simple.

The original owner was a student of the Acting Department of Beijing Film Academy in 07, but dropped out of school due to family problems.

Dad died and mom ran away.

Being an orphan is already a life of misery, let alone having a lot of debts.

Yes, this cheap dad of his left Pei Ran a media company on the verge of bankruptcy. Not only were all its artists gone, but the dad also signed a gambling agreement with Huayi, the current media leader.

The result is needless to say. If the bet is won, then mom won't have to run away.

The consequence of my mother running away was that all the millions of debts fell on Pei Ran.

Now Pei Ran only has the last six months to pay back the money. If he can't pay it back, he will have to work like a slave and never get back on his feet. He might even have to sell his ditch.

This actually made Pei Ran feel very indignant. Why was it that in the online novels he read, the time travelers either woke up in the bed of a female star, or started out as super-rich people, and used their past life experience to invest madly in movies, making money while also taking advantage of the female stars acting in the films?

How come I'm dressed like this?
But Pei Ran also understood that it was useless to complain about himself.

Think positively.

Although my company is on the verge of bankruptcy, I still have some status, for example:
"Wanqing, pour me a cup of coffee."

"Okay, Mr. Pei."

Liu Wanqing obediently brought a cup of coffee and gently placed it on Pei Ran's desk. She leaned forward slightly, just enough to see the black lace in the woman's shirt. Her oval face drooped slightly, and a strand of hair slid down from the side.

Damn, are you trying to seduce me?!
Liu Wanqing was the secretary hired by Pei Ran. Although due to his father's personal debt, he cashed out his shares and sold all the artists under the company, three-quarters of the employees had been laid off, and other shareholders had also withdrawn their investments, and the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, but Pei Ran felt that the president had to act like a president, so he personally interviewed a secretary.

To Pei Ran's surprise, the secretary he hired to show off was quite capable and could learn many things after just one teaching. This gave Pei Ran bad intentions, so he dismissed some of the employees and let Liu Wanqing take their place.

After all, the company still has some small jobs in small business activities.

However, Pei Ran always felt that Liu Wanqing, who seemed submissive and gentle on the surface, was unsatisfied and wanted to replace more people and get more salary.

As for why Pei Ran thought so... it was because when Pei Ran and Liu Wanqing looked at each other, just by blinking, a message popped up in front of Pei Ran:
[Name: Liu Wanqing

Age: 34 years old

Stamina: 3
Intelligence: 8
Charisma: 8
Current situation: A beautiful woman whose family has fallen on hard times. She is wary of men who covet her. Because her husband's sudden suicide caused her to lose her status as a noble lady, she has to go out to work as she has a daughter in school. She is extremely eager for money and hopes to find someone she can rely on.

Intelligence: She seems to have some plans for you! 】

really!

Looking at Liu Wanqing's personal information on the information panel, Pei Ran couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and understood the ambition of this widow who worked alone outside.

After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Even if this media company is on the verge of bankruptcy, it is still worth some money. What's more, the money lost in the bet was made by his cheap father in his personal name. Damn it, not only was the originally rich family fortune squeezed out of it, but the son also has to pay for his father's debts.

"Boss Pei? Are you feeling unwell?"

Liu Wanqing leaned forward again and bent down, with a few strands of hair hanging down on both sides of her ears onto her big breasts. Another strand of hair disobediently ran into her shirt and fell into the cleavage.

From Pei Ran's perspective, he could even see from the side her two plump buttocks tightly wrapped in her OL hip skirt. The round and full shape made Pei Ran quickly look away after just one glance.

Are you trying to seduce me with your beauty?

If this were a normal situation, Pei Ran would certainly not be able to resist.

But this is not normal, and I still owe a lot of debts.

"It's okay. Men always have those days every month."

"Shouldn't it be a woman?"

"Gender equality." Pei Ran moved his eyes to the table, "You go out first, I still have work to do."

"Okay." Liu Wanqing turned around and was about to leave.

Pei Ran's attention was drawn to her again. After all, her plump buttocks were shaking when she walked.

But the next second, Liu Wanqing suddenly turned around and met Pei Ran's gaze at her butt. Liu Wanqing showed a charming smile.

Pei Ran was a little embarrassed.

"what happened?"

"I forgot to tell you, Mr. Pei, that the skit shooting base has been booked, the rental time and deposit have been confirmed, and we can go there next Monday."

"Understood, let's go out."

"Okay, then if you have any instructions just call me directly." There was a hint of seduction in Liu Wanqing's voice.

Damn Liu Wanqing, seducing me again!

However, after Liu Wanqing closed the door, Pei Ran lay down on the chair, closed his eyes and thought about the system.

The panel that just displayed Liu Wanqing’s personal information is the novice gift package given by Brother Tongzi: "Character Profiler", the function of which is as the name suggests.

And Tongzige's full name is: "Fan Value System"

The introduction is simpler: the more fans you have, the higher your fan value.

The system is divided into two sections, the mall and the lottery.

Things in the mall require fixed fan points, and the amounts vary. For example, something like the "Character Profiler" is priced in the upper middle range in the mall.

However, since this thing has no limit on the number of times it can be used, Pei Ran feels that although Brother Tongzi's name is a bit rustic, it is more useful than a silver spear or candle head, so it is enough.

As for the lottery, it’s purely a matter of luck. A small number of fans are worth a chance to draw, but what you get depends entirely on luck.

Because when Pei Ran's cheap dad was still alive, this entertainment media company was considered to be somewhat well-known. After losing the gambling agreement, the cheap dad died, leaving all the debts to Pei Ran, which caused some waves on Zhalang. Many netizens sympathized with Pei Ran, but were also curious whether Pei Ran could pay off his debts. Therefore, Pei Ran gained some fans as soon as he came here.

But it’s not too much.

After Pei Ran exchanged for the abilities of "Almighty Director" and "Thousand-Faced Movie King", he could no longer exchange for anything else and could only draw a lottery.

Pei Ran decided to take a gamble. He took the gamble and won the prize of "Memory +1".

That's it?

There are no children crying every day, and there are no gamblers losing every day!
Stud!

Finally, there are permanent attribute rewards such as "Memory +1", "Romance Luck +1", "Niu Niu's Weapon Value +2", and some unimportant one-time props.

Grass.

What is the value of Niu Niu’s weapon?
Are you a serious system? Niu Niu's weapon value is done?

But forget it.

After all, fan value is earned, not accumulated.

Thinking of this, Pei Ran opened his eyes and looked at the screen at the short play script he had already written, a low-cost suspense short film with constant twists and turns.

Yes, Pei Ran decided to start by shooting short dramas.

After all, he was an old social animal who worked as a film and television planner in his previous life, and this unfortunate company was of the media type, which was a good match for his profession, so it was convenient to prepare the shooting base, including costumes and props.

It’s not that Pei Ran only has this one way to make money after traveling through time. After all, it’s only 2010. He can wait for the World Cup or Douyin, Tesla, Tencent, etc., and with only the little memory of his previous life, he can find a rich woman to trade stocks or cryptocurrencies.

But there was no choice, Pei Ran needed money urgently.

Moreover, Pei Ran actually wanted to take Brother Tongzi into consideration. The more fan value he has, the more things he can redeem. The more things he can redeem, maybe he will have more channels to make money. After all, a good blacksmith must have strong tools himself.

Filming this tuner short drama is just a key part of Pei Ran's career plan. He wants to become a big director, which will not only make him more famous, but also gain more fans and more fan value.

Simultaneously.

The identity of a great director.

It also helps him to pick up female celebrities and achieve his goal of having unspoken rules.

If a director doesn’t use unspoken rules, can he still be considered a director?
and so.

Pei Ran not only prepared a sound engineer, but also made full use of his ability as an "all-round director" and his memories of his previous life to tinker with several scripts that were very popular in his previous life and had been tested by the market.

It doesn't matter how talented you are, just copy it.

It’s not about how deep you learn, but about how you make changes.

But those scripts... Pei Ran doesn’t have the money to film them now.

Even because of his identity, Pei Ran was unable to attract investment.

Even the initial investment for the sound engineer was funds that Pei Ran prepared after he had completely emptied the media company. Now the problems with the shooting base and costumes and props have been solved.

Next up are the actors.

Because the plot is not complicated:

The frustrated musician pretended to be a blind tuner to make extra money, but he encountered a homicide case. The murderer was a woman. She killed the people in the house but was too late to deal with it because of the arrival of the tuner. The tuner did not resist after seeing the dead body, but continued to play the role of the blind man. The murderer also tried again and again, but because of an oversight, the blind man realized that he might be exposed, but at this moment the murderer had already stopped the nail gun behind him.

So not many actors are needed.

The blind tuner, the murderess, and a tuner boss who appears at the beginning of the skit are enough, and the rest can be extras.

Naturally, Pei Ran is the tuner himself, otherwise how can he gain charm points working behind the scenes?
Pei Ran planned to let his secretary Liu Wanqing play the role of the tuner boss. Anyway, compared with the other two roles, this role was not that important.

As for the actress who will play the female murderer, Pei Ran has already found one, Jing Tian, ​​who is also from the acting department of 07. It’s not that her acting skills are so good now, but Pei Ran had no choice.

He also wanted to choose the Four Dans and Two Bings or Yang Mi and Liu Yifei, but these people are very popular now. Even if he hyped up this short drama, they would not risk offending Huayi to choose him.

In comparison, Jing Tian seems to be very suitable in terms of emotion and reason.

It is said that she has an unfathomable background and is not afraid of offending Huayi. Besides, Huayi will not be so petty as to go against Jing Tian's background just because she played a role.

Moreover, Jing Tian has just entered the entertainment industry.

Female celebrities at this stage are most suitable for training.

Oh, and train your acting skills.

……

Pei Ran, who likes to plan before taking action, reviewed the written script several times and then added the actors' names.

Pei Ran immediately stood up and left the office, just in time to run into Liu Wanqing. "Wanqing, accompany me for a while, you drive."

Liu Wanqing agreed obediently again, but she then asked if she needed to change her clothes, and she was still wearing high heels.

Hearing this, Pei Ran looked at Liu Wanqing, who was wearing a professional outfit, and said casually, "Change your clothes, Wanqing, you look so beautiful in this outfit, I'm afraid someone is going to do something bad to you."

Liu Wanqing narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, "Thank you, Mr. Pei, for your concern."

After Liu Wanqing changed into casual clothes.

Pei Ran was attracted by her mature and charming appearance again. He couldn't help but take a few more glances. Her big breasts, thick buttocks and long legs...

No wonder those big bosses like to hire beautiful secretaries with good figures. Not to mention the secretaries who have work to do and the secretaries who have nothing to do... just looking at them is pleasing to the eye.

After noticing Pei Ran's gaze, Liu Wanqing was a little embarrassed, "Is it because I'm wearing something weird?"

"No, as my secretary, you really make me proud."

Pei Ran praised him, then turned around and left.

Liu Wanqing, who stayed where she was, felt a little happy after hearing Pei Ran's words. Is he praising me for my beauty?

Pei Ran asked Liu Wanqing to drive him to a restaurant.

And the person he wanted to see now was Jing Tian.

the purpose
Pei Ran arrived at the restaurant's private room ahead of time and waited for about ten minutes before Jing Tian also arrived.

Looking at her tightly wrapped up, Pei Ran couldn't help but laugh, "Aren't you hot?"

"I'm still a big singer after all. What if I meet with a media executive like you who's made the headlines and some scandals are spread?"

As he spoke, Jing Tian took off his scarf and hat.

Revealing a beautiful face full of collagen.

And look at this face.

Another information panel popped up in front of Pei Ran:
【Name: Jing Tian

　The specific release time of The Piano Tuner was tampered by me, and the protagonist grabbed it in advance because it was required by the plot, so everyone please understand. As I said, when you are indecisive, quantum mechanics cannot be explained, and there are parallel universes.
