Bro, you handle the camera work, I'll take care of the female lead.

Today is the weekend.

After finishing her audition and parting ways with Chen Fei, Jiao Junyan did not immediately return to her dormitory. Instead, she pulled her two friends and walked out of the school together.

"Come on, to celebrate getting the role, I'll treat you to dinner."

Zhang Xiaofei covered her mouth and chuckled, "How much is the pay? So generous."

Jiao Junyan held up five fingers.

"Fifty thousand?!" Yang Mi was somewhat surprised.

"Five thousand!" Jiao Junyan rolled her eyes at Yang Mi. "The total cost was less than three hundred thousand, and you're saying I'm only making fifty thousand a month?!"

Now it was Zhang Xiaofei and Yang Mi's turn to be surprised.

"So little?! Only five thousand?!"

Jiao Junyan defended herself: "It's not a small amount, and my role isn't very big, but it was very memorable in the end."

Yang Mi complained: "Extras are getting over a hundred yuan a day now, and they even provide lunch."

Zhang Xiaofei retorted, "Do you really think so highly of junior Chen Fei and senior Guo Fan?!"

"Didn't you two both read the script?!" Jiao Junyan retorted.

Yang Mi nodded and reminded him, "However, these kinds of short films usually only try their luck at college film festivals; they don't really gain much fame."

Like Ning Hao's short film "Incense," which is of very good quality, but not many people have seen it now.

The success of a film depends too much on the director's reputation and skill.

Not to mention Guo Fan, a graduate student in management, Chen Fei is just a freshman in performing arts.

Even Ning Hao, a senior from the photography department, had to beg and plead with people to invest in his film and television career before he became famous.

Anyway, she didn't think highly of Chen Fei's short film.

Jiao Junyan was too lazy to argue with Yang Mi.

"I'll treat you to a meal, are you in or not?"

"Eat up!" Yang Mi and Zhang Xiaofei laughed in unison.

...

403 Dormitory.

Chu Yuxun pushed open the door and went in with a cold face.

The three people in the dormitory who were eating snacks all turned their heads away at the same time.

Chai Biyun asked with a smile, "How is it?!"

Lu Shan walked up to Chu Yuxun and said, "We've given you all the chance."

Jing Tian covered her mouth and chuckled: "You two, please stop! It's clearly because you two were too hungry to get up on the weekend, yet you dare to say you're giving the opportunity to someone else."

Chu Yuxun looked dejected: "I wasn't selected."

"Huh?! Kan Qingzi was selected?!" Chai Biyun exclaimed in surprise.

"She wasn't selected either." Chu Yuxun felt a little comforted.

Jing Tian smiled and comforted Chu Yuxun: "Then it must be that the senior student was chosen, Yuxun, don't be discouraged."

If I were the director, I would definitely choose a third-year student with acting experience, since she's had two more years of university experience than us.

Chu Yuxun looked at Jing Tian with a resentful expression and pouted, "But she even asked you to be the female lead before."

Jing Tian was a little embarrassed.

Why do I look like a bad person who ruins other people's relationships?

You two aren't dating!

Lu Shan laughed and said, "Little Qianqian, you can't compare to our little rich lady. I think Chen Fei has no desire to work hard at all."

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Jing Tian glared at Lu Shan reproachfully.

Chai Biyun leaned her upper body on Jing Tian's fragrant shoulder, looked down at Jing Tian, ​​and said with a mischievous smile, "Tian Tian is the oldest among us. Don't men all like big ones?"

"Chai Biyun, are you trying to get yourself killed? You shameless bastard!" Jing Tian pushed Chai Biyun away in embarrassment and anger.

"I'm talking about age!" Chai Biyun said seriously.

Lu Shan laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight.

Chu Yuxun bit her lower lip tightly to suppress her laughter, her face turning red from holding it in.

Jing Tian gritted her teeth, suppressing her embarrassment and anger, and said, "I was talking about age too."

The big white rabbit hopped and skipped.

...

502 Dormitory.

The afternoon sunlight streamed through the window, creating dappled light and shadow on the dormitory desk, like the glow of a film camera.

Chen Fei pushed open the door and went inside.

He put his things down and plopped down in his seat.

"Hey, Producer Chen is back?!" Zhang Ruoyun, who was playing a game, turned around and laughed.

Guo Kai smiled and handed Chen Fei a drink: "How did it go? Was it all right?!"

Chen Fei smiled and accepted the drink, nodding slightly: "It went quite smoothly; the preliminary preparations are almost complete."

With the final female lead, Jiao Junyan, confirmed, all the main characters for "Old Boys" are now in place.

He himself plays the lead singer Chen Dabao.

Wang Taili plays Wang Xiaoshuai, Han Qiuchi plays Bao Xiaobai, and Jiao Junyan plays the school beauty.

One of the female leads, Hao Fang, was played by an extra found by Chen Fei.

This matter was quickly found by a group leader in Beijing who met his requirements.

site.

props.

clothing.

light.

photography.

All the behind-the-scenes staff who needed to be coordinated were also in place.

Everything is ready now, except for the final push!

Zhang Ruoyun reminded her, "Is your 200,000 yuan enough?! It would be embarrassing if we ran out of money halfway through filming."

Chen Fei took a sip of his drink: "It's enough to finish filming the movie, but we have to be careful with every penny. It would be even better if we could ask the school for some support funds."

Guo Kai shook his head repeatedly after hearing this: "Our school's film support fund is prepared for senior directing students who are about to graduate."

"Don't even mention a performing arts student like you, you have no chance even in the photography department."

Zhang Ruoyun also cursed, "The school's film support fund has been squandered by those bastards in the directing department. After all these years, they haven't produced a single director."

The key issue is that those already famous but scoundrel senior students don't care about these Beijing Film Academy actors; they only know how to go to the Central Academy of Drama to select actors.

Chen Fei laughed and said, "I'll go try talking to Teacher Wang. What if it works out?"

"Let me invest in you instead. I still have 150,000 yuan left," Zhang Ruoyun said generously.

"Didn't you say you didn't have any money before?!" Chen Fei narrowed his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his face.

Zhang Ruoyun said guiltily, "Well, this is New Year's money from my dad and relatives. It's for keeping safe at the bottom of my drawer. Weren't we worried that this might not work out?"

"Brother, does Dad need another son?!" Guo Kai knelt down.

Chen Fei also felt a little envious of Zhang Ruoyun.

At least before the father and son became enemies, Old Zhang was really good to Young Zhang.

Zhang Ruoyun hurriedly explained, "This is New Year's money, which I keep at the bottom of my drawer. My family is actually just an ordinary family, and our monthly living expenses are only eight thousand yuan."

"Go to hell!"

Chen Fei and Guo Kai laughed and joked.

They have about three thousand yuan a month for living expenses.

Better than most wage earners.

But if you want to pick up girls and live a life of luxury, that's definitely not enough.

I laughed.

Chen Fei shook his head and refused, saying, "Forget it, I'll try my luck with my teacher first. If I can get a film support fund, it will be a big boost to this project."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruoyun immediately stopped talking and said, "I'll keep this 150,000 for you. Come to me anytime if you need money."

"I also have some money saved up there, 30,000 yuan," Guo Kai said.

Chen Fei was deeply moved.

Friendships are so pure and simple these days.

next second.

The two said in unison, "Let's set the interest at ten percent, that's all we ask for."

"roll!"

Chen Fei laughed and scolded.
