Huayu: Everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be an actor?

The next day, Cheng Yuan was summoned to Wang Jinsong's office.

Besides him, there was another person in the office, with a stubble beard and melancholy eyes...

"Teacher Wang! Teacher Tian!"

Cheng Yuan quickly greeted her, calling her Teacher Tian instead of Director Tian, ​​which undoubtedly made them seem closer.

Besides, Cheng Yuan had audited his class a couple of days ago, so there's nothing wrong with calling him that.

"sit!"

Wang Jinsong pointed to the chair next to him and said something, then looked at Tian Zhuangzhuang.

"I've read all your scripts," Tian Zhuangzhuang said. "Let the Bullets Fly definitely has Jiang Wen's style. There's another script that's also very interesting. Are you sure you want Jiang Wen to act in it? Haven't you heard of him?"

"I've heard of him," Cheng Yuan said. "He just wants to do the directing work too. But I'm only paying him his actor's salary; do you think I'd expect him to do the directing work as well?"

"Zhang Yimou almost couldn't control him, do you think you can?" Tian Zhuangzhuang squinted at Cheng Yuan and said, "Do you have other ideas?"

Cheng Yuan meant that if Jiang Wen did the directing job, he wouldn't lose out.

Is this guy trying to use actors' salaries to get Jiang Wen to both act and direct?

However, Jiang Wen is currently banned from directing, and he's probably itching to do something, so there might be an opportunity for him.

"You're going to invest yourself? Aren't you prepared to be a mere prop, saving on director fees?"

Wang Jinsong glanced at Tian Zhuangzhuang, then frowned and said to Cheng Yuan.

If that's the case, then Tian Zhuangzhuang's impression of Cheng Yuan will definitely be very bad.

So he pointed it out.

I never expected that this kid, who didn't stand out in class, was actually a rich kid.

It doesn't look like it at all.

How could someone who isn't a rich second-generation invest in a movie?

"I'm a newbie, who would be willing to invest? I can only do it myself," Cheng Yuan said. "Teacher Tian, ​​could you take a look at the storyboard I drew for this movie and give me some pointers?"

As Cheng Yuan spoke, he took out the storyboard script from his bag and handed it to Tian Zhuangzhuang, and also handed a copy to Wang Jinsong.

As for being a tool?

When he pulled out the storyboard, it said it all.

How could a director who is willing to be a tool draw up the storyboard?

Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't say anything, took the storyboard and started reading. After flipping through two pages, she showed a look of surprise.

However, he didn't say anything and continued watching.

I just read it much more carefully than before.

"It's a good drawing, quite professional. It seems you put your heart into it," Tian Zhuangzhuang said. "However, given Jiang Wen's personality, he probably won't film it exactly as you drew it."

This kid has potential.

I felt like I recognized this guy before, and now I realize he's been skipping classes in the directing department a lot lately.

He did not question whether the two scripts were written by Cheng Yuan, but he certainly had his doubts.

Now there's less doubt.

"If he can convince me, there's no problem filming it according to his wishes," Cheng Yuan said. "Teacher Tian, ​​the reason I cast Jiang Wen is not only to ensure the quality of the film, but also to help me grow quickly by debating with him. He may like to take center stage, but I have to admit that he is a very high-level director."

Is this the reason?

Have.

But there must be other reasons.

That's the key.

Cheng Yuan just didn't say it.

"Compete?" Wang Jinsong said, "What makes you, a newcomer, think you can compete with a big-name director?"

"Why not?" Cheng Yuan said. "I'm the screenwriter, I'm the director, I'm the investor! He either has to convince me, or if he can't, then he has to film it according to my ideas."

My films don't tolerate any ginger flavor!

Of course, Cheng Yuan didn't really care about this.

So what if it's full of ginger flavor? Let's make the movie first and earn our first pot of gold.

How do I earn it?

Jiang Wen is an indispensable part.

"That's ambitious," Tian Zhuangzhuang laughed. "What if he doesn't listen and tries to steal your director's chair?"

"The student has some knowledge of martial arts."

Cheng Yuan said calmly.

This isn't just bragging; he really did study it.

They learned real skills.

That kind of learning started when I was little.

"You think you can beat him up?"

Wang Jinsong said, somewhat speechless.

If Cheng Yuan really beats up Jiang Wen, then things will get really interesting.

"Otherwise what?" Cheng Yuan said, "He's trying to forcibly take my director's chair. Am I supposed to just let him take it and then hide in a corner crying? Or complain to you guys?"

Wang Jinsong's lips twitched, and he subconsciously glanced at the office door.

Nobody heard that, right?

This guy's words were loaded with meaning; he was subtly mocking that person.

That person has a very powerful background.

Tian Zhuangzhuang laughed when she heard this.

"Aren't you afraid of hurting someone?" Tian Zhuangzhuang laughed and said, "But that kid definitely needs to be taught a lesson."

"Even if I get injured, it's alright; I have some medical knowledge. Even if I kill him, it's alright; I have some feng shui knowledge. Even if he's dead and still restless, I have some ghost-catching knowledge..."

"You really arranged his transformation from human to ghost perfectly."

Tian Zhuangzhuang burst into laughter upon hearing this, while Wang Jingsong's lips twitched, but he said nothing.

Cheng Yuan gave an awkward smile; he had misspoke.

"Just kidding, just kidding," Cheng Yuan quickly said. "This is what I'm thinking: I'm planning to find a senior from our school for the cinematographer, and I'm also planning to find seniors from our school for the others. The entire crew is from our Beijing Film Academy. No matter how awesome Jiang Wen is, he's all alone. How can he possibly cause any trouble?"

What if Jiang Wenruo stops acting?

Wang Jinsong said, "Jiang Wen has a temper; he won't put up with this, let alone be treated badly by a new director. He'd lose face."

This new director has only studied acting for less than two years and has never studied directing.

Going to the directing department to audit classes doesn't count.

How could a group of young people possibly keep Jiang Wen in check on set?

Even if you manage to suppress it, what can you do if it gets angry and quits?

"He won't!"

Cheng Yuan and Tian Zhuangzhuang spoke almost simultaneously.

"The script?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Jinsong seemed to realize something and immediately asked.

Cheng Yuan nodded, while Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't say anything, but looked at him, wanting to see his reaction.

This kid is definitely got Jiang Wen by the nose.

That script would be irresistible not only to Jiang Wen, but to many other directors as well.

"Jiang Wen really can't refuse that script," Tian Zhuangzhuang said. "Alright, I'll give him both scripts and also convey your words to him."

Those words?

Which words?

Is it a joke?

Cheng Yuan snapped out of his daze and was about to say something when Tian Zhuangzhuang had already left the office.

"teacher?"

Cheng Yuan looked at Wang Jinsong.

"You're really good at feng shui? You can really catch ghosts?"

Wang Jinsong understood perfectly well what Cheng Yuan meant, but couldn't help but make a joke.

Do you know feng shui?

Does reading a few books on feng shui count?

"Cheng Yuan, Zhou Yang and the others said they're going to visit the set of 'Sissi's' drama. Do you want to come along?"

When Cheng Yuan returned to his dormitory, Zhu Yawen asked him a question.

"I'm not going!"

Cheng Yuan refused without even thinking about it.

The "XiXi" he mentioned was naturally Liu Yifei, the most popular girl in their class.

More than 20 years later, she is still the most popular.

She should be filming "Chinese Paladin" right now.

If I remember correctly, filming will wrap up in May.

"Why?" Zhu Yawen asked. "It would be good for us to go to the film set together and experience it. If I go, you'll be very lonely in the dorm by yourself."

There are four people in their dormitory, but the other two live in rented apartments outside.

"We're broke!" Cheng Yuan said bluntly. "Brother, she's filming in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, not in Huairou. Are you going by plane or train? And how many days off are you planning to take?"

"oh."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yawen was speechless.

He seems to have ignored these issues.

"You're not planning to visit the set, are you?" Cheng Yuan looked at Zhu Yawen and said, "Take my advice, you can't handle that girl."

Should I try to take control of this myself?

In my past life I could only admire from afar, but now that I've been reborn, surely I can still...

After his rebirth, he understood even more the true value of the "white moonlight" (a term of endearment for a woman who is deeply loved).
