Huayu 1999: Starting with nothing but getting something for nothing

Yang Che thus began his life of "Monday, Wednesday, Friday" and "Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday," or more accurately, for a long time it was Monday and Wednesday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Well, that makes sense, Yuanyuan was going home for the holidays.

Later, regarding the matter of "Wrong Carriage, Right Groom," Wang Jinhua contacted Anhui Province, but they didn't agree so readily and were quite disrespectful. If it weren't for Fan Bingbing's insistence, Wang Jinhua wouldn't have sent Anhui Province the clip of Xiao Pang's performance in "My Sassy Girl."

Yes, Huang Jiazhuo, the person in charge of this project, and director Zhang Zien decided to cast Fan Bingbing as Li Yuhu, and solemnly expressed their gratitude to Wang Jinhua.

Then Huang Yi and Nie Yuan, the couple, both felt a chill run down their spines, as if their luck had been stolen.

Yes, Huang Yi adores Nie Yuan.

In another timeline, after Zhang Zien selected Huang Yi to play Li Yuhu, Huang Yi recommended her boyfriend Nie Yuan.

Zhang Zien agreed, mainly because Nie Yuan's appearance and acting skills were quite good, aside from his slightly large masseter muscles.

Then, Nie Yuan was spotted by Gong Ruofei, who came to visit the set, and played Bianji in "The Love Story of the Tang Dynasty". In the play, he had an affair with Princess Gaoyang, and in real life, he also got involved with Shen Aojun, who played Princess Gaoyang.

Nie Yuan dated both of them at the same time until 2003, when Huang Yi finally broke up with him.

Then Liu Yun continued her relationship for two years before marrying Zheng Jun.

Then there's Hu Ke, the one who later married Sha Yi.

Yes, and there's also Gillian Chung. And supposedly there's Xie La, who just broke up with Liu Ye.

Note that during this period, this guy's official girlfriend was always Shen Aojun; all the others were kept secret, as Liu Yun revealed on a TV show...

Shen Aojun was also deeply in love with Nie Yuan. They dated for eight years. How could she not know about all the women during that time? She even took out her bank card and asked Nie Yuan to marry her when she was 30 years old. Then she saw her boyfriend trying on wedding dresses with another woman in a bridal shop.

She is Wang Hui, Nie Yuan's current wife; they had a whirlwind marriage.

The bad boy is tired of playing around.

Okay, this is someone even more awesome than the reborn ones.

It's not that having multiple partners is impressive; what's impressive is that all those partners know about each other.

.................

Let's get back to the main topic.

Time passed day by day.

Yang Che, who had already decided to take the entrance exam for the directing program at Beijing Film Academy, went to the academy again to complete the necessary procedures. He needed to get a refund for the tuition fee of the advanced training course, and then transferred that fee to a pre-exam tutoring class that would start in December and last for a month, so he couldn't get a refund. Registration is on November 10th in person.

Yang Che has been mainly studying political theory and English lately...

The storyboard for "Not One Less" was given to Jiang Wei on October 13th. On October 18th, he received a call from Hou Keming, who said that the film was invested in by the Youth Film Studio with a budget of 30,000 yuan and needed to be filmed as soon as possible.

Yang Che was at the Shanghai Film Studio when he received the call.

Not only him, but also Cheng Er, Liu Chang, Xiao Ke, Fan Bingbing, and Huang Haibo are doing voice-over work and post-production.

So Yang Che did everything he was supposed to do overnight, gave some instructions, and returned to Beijing with Liu Chang on October 20th.

After getting into the Grand Cherokee driven by Li Xiangdong, Yang Che said, "Old Liu, you should take a leave of absence without pay and become Doubao's second employee."

"Oh, if Brother Che has spoken, then I'll resign."

"No way, the end of the universe is where we make our own plans."

"Wait, why is it employee number two? Oh right, you're number one."

Yang Che leaned back tactically: "I'm the boss, and Lao Li is number one."

Li Xiangdong glanced at the rearview mirror and smiled.

"Hello, Director Liu."

Liu Chang grinned, revealing his teeth: "How much salary do you pay?"

"800".

"The boss is generous."

Li Xiangdong thought he had misheard. How could someone earn 700 less than him, a mere driver? He quickly realized that the other person was a production manager, earning a film salary, and the 800 was for living expenses, a subsidy.

"So my first task after officially joining the company was to organize the team for 'Not One Less'."

"Yes, the lead actor is Zu Feng, the cinematographer is Song Xiaofei and Zeng Jian, and we'll bring Wang Baoqiang in to do odd jobs. The rest of the cast will all be from the Beijing Film Academy."

As Yang Che spoke, he pulled a piece of paper from his handbag. It contained several names that had already been written down, as well as a scene arrangement drawn.

There are three locations in total: the auditorium/rehearsal room set up as a small screening room at Beijing Film Academy, the security room at Beijing Film Academy, and the home in Courtyard No. 8.

"Zu Feng?"

"The class monitor of the class of '96, I met him once before, he had a scholarly air about him."

"Oh, wait, you're directing?"

"What? I don't look like a director? I can't be a director?"

"I think you're better suited to being a boss, which is the most promising career path."

"Enough with the nonsense. Contact someone now. Meet at the Beijing Film Academy in an hour."

"it is good."

So the two of them contacted each other. Yang Che naturally contacted Hou Keming, asking for money and land.

Hou Keming was not at the academy, so he asked Yang Che to attend the meeting first, and he would arrive shortly.

An hour later.

In an office in the director's building, apart from Yang Che and Liu Chang, everyone else was a student at the Beijing Film Academy.

Besides Zu Feng, there are seven or eight other actors...

Well... okay, it's all from the class of '96. They're rehearsing their graduation play, "Thunderstorm," with Zu Feng playing the second young master, Zhou Ping. As soon as they heard there was a project at Qingying Film Studio, they all showed up, hoping to snag a role.

Liu Chang naturally didn't refuse. Being in the same class would definitely lead to better teamwork, since neither of them had much screen time anyway.

At this moment, they looked at Yang Che with a bit of confusion. Wasn't this the rich second-generation producer who drove a Grand Cherokee a month ago?

Among them was Kong Wei, whom she had approached. At this moment, she felt a little awkward and didn't know whether to stay or leave. Of course, she didn't have a Grand Cherokee when she approached her.

However, when Yang Che looked at her, he gave her a kind smile, and she smiled back, which made her relax.

"Everyone, what a coincidence! Let me introduce myself. My name is Yang Che, and I'm from the directing training program, so I'm not an outsider. Please don't be hostile towards me."

People smiled knowingly; after all, this was Qingying Film Studio, which was the experimental film studio of Beijing Film Academy...

Just like last time, Huang Xiaoming looked at Yang Che, who was smiling in the center of the crowd, with admiration. The first time he saw Yang Che, he felt that this was exactly what the talented young men described in books should be like. Then he consciously started to imitate him, and then his good friend Chen Kun said that he'd become even better at showing off lately…

After looking around at everyone, Yang Che made up his mind.

"Thank you all for your support. In that case, please introduce yourselves. Um... after the acting students have finished introducing themselves, I will tell you what role each of you will play and what makeup and makeup you will need. The crew will take notes and you will all prepare your things so that we can start filming tomorrow."

The crowd was in an uproar. Was it in such a hurry?

Yang Che coughed lightly and glanced at Zeng Jian beside him.

"Hello everyone, my name is Zeng Jian, and I'm from the Photography Department, class of '96."

"Song Xiaofei, Class of '96, Photography Department"

Lu Wei, Class of '97, Fine Arts Department

"Hao Yi, Class of '97, Fine Arts Department"

"Ma Niu, Class of '96 Recording Class".

"....."

"Hello everyone, my name is Zu Feng, and I graduated from the Performance Department in 96."
