Who says Beijing Film Academy has no great directors? (2002)

Chapter 111 Potential Hit Ringtone Trainee

Chen Yan: "Yeah, of course, I heard that your singing is pretty good."

Ning Hao didn't understand these things. "Okay, go find him. He'll be overjoyed if he knows you're looking for him."

Chen Yan suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, what have you been busy with lately?"

I think I heard from a teacher at the Beijing Film Academy that Ning Hao won several awards for "Crazy Stone" and is very popular with investors.

But I've never heard him mention what awards he received.

"My film 'Incense' flopped, didn't it? I...hehe, I want to make a Stone 2.0."

Ning Hao was a little embarrassed when he said this, because Chen Yan had given him the notebook.

Although the second installment, Crazy Racer, made significant changes to the plot, the core system and formula remained the same.

Moreover, he was planning to use the actor who played the stone, and since he was used to it, he was too lazy to change him.

A name instantly flashed through Chen Yan's mind: "Crazy Racer".

"Great! Hope your next film breaks 100 million!" Chen Yan said simply, without any other thoughts.

Because of his intrusion, many awards that should have belonged to Ning Hao were lost.

"Crazy Stone" is the film that made Ning Hao a legend in the original world.

With this film, he won the Golden Horse Award for Best Screenplay, the Huabiao Award for Best New Director, the Media Awards for Best Director and Best Screenplay, and the College Student Film Festival Award for Best Director.

It was thanks to this film that he officially entered the ranks of top-tier directors.

Stone has only won the Best Director award at the College Student Film Festival, while he has only been nominated for other awards without winning.

Chen Yan said he would never steal his script again.

It's definitely not that he forgot about this notebook.

Ning Hao felt a little embarrassed that Chen Yan accepted the situation so quickly, especially since Chen Yan had helped him get the major shareholder, China Film Group.

He hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "Chen Yan, why don't you invest in 'Crazy Racer'?"

Ning Hao has not yet established Bad Monkey Pictures; he is currently collaborating with the outside world through Ning Hao Studio.

He wasn't sure about the car, but Xing Aina encouraged him, saying it shouldn't be too bad, so he invested some money in it, taking a 10% stake.

Because he was unsure, he didn't ask Chen Yan to come and submit his application. But now that things have come to this point, he figured it would be better to ask him himself.

Chen Yan smiled and declined, saying, "No, I don't have time. I have other things to do. But I think your idea is quite good. If you trust me, you can invest more in it yourself."

Chen Yan knew this project was a sure thing, and the sequel, promoted under the name of "Crazy Stone," would definitely attract a large number of fans of the film.

So Chen Yan decided not to take advantage of this opportunity. More importantly, although this was another low-budget film with the potential to achieve big results with small investments, Chen Yan really didn't care about this small share.

They can't squeeze out China Film Group, the major shareholder of the investors; small-scale operations are really meaningless.

After hearing Chen Yan's words, Ning Hao fell into deep thought. Chen Yan's thoughts were exactly the same as Xing Aina's.

However, Ning Hao is still a conservative. If the film doesn't do well at the box office, his investment will definitely go down the drain.

The director's fees might be used up, and in the end, all that trouble could be wasted, which wouldn't be worth it.

"I'll think about it again when I get back," Ning Hao said cautiously.

Chen Yan laughed without holding back: "You're going back to discuss it with Sister Na, right? Hehe."

Ning Hao is known in the industry for his clean-living behavior as a director. Besides his own self-control, the most important reason is that Xing Aina is very tough!

It's not just the screenwriting skills and professional abilities, but also the family's power structure; they have a firm grip on Ning Hao in every aspect.

Ning Hao glared at him: "Hey, are you kidding me?"

However, he did not refute it. He wanted to go back and discuss it with his wife. He felt that Chen Yan was somewhat lucky, and it wouldn't hurt to listen to his words.

"I'm hanging up now, I'm going to call Huang Bo," Chen Yan replied with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, Chen Yan found Huang Bo's phone number, which he had saved before.

However, that phone number was leaked by someone, and countless calls came in as soon as the phone was turned on.

Either he's offering huge sums of money for a script, or some unknown, obscure actor trying to get close to him is asking him to hire them, so he has to ask Ning Hao again.

As soon as the call connected, Huang Bo's signature Qingdao accent came through the receiver.

"Hey~ who's this?"

Chen Yan mimicked his accent and said, "Brother Bo, this is Chen Yan."

Sure enough, the aroma of oysters immediately wafted over.

"Oh my! Director Chen, what brings you to call me? Is there some new film you need to help with?" Huang Bo almost dropped his phone on his face.

He immediately sat up, and very seriously corrected his accent as he asked.

Chen Yan denied it, saying, "No, I heard from a classmate that you sing pretty well, and I wanted to ask you to sing a few songs with me."

"Sing a song?" The song-loving string in Huang Bo's mind suddenly twitched.

He started out as a singer, performing in bars and forming bands for nearly 10 years before switching careers to become an actor.

So he actually has a lot of passion for singing, but the music scene in the 90s was an era that valued looks.

Sha Baoliang, Man Wenjun, and Zhou Xun, who started at the same time, all became famous, but he remained lukewarm.

Huang Bo has a rather ordinary appearance and is often ignored by the audience. There was even a farce where he was pelted with bottles by the audience while performing on stage.

Unexpectedly, he gave up being a singer to become an actor and made a name for himself in the comedy field, eventually becoming a film emperor.

He said: Now that I'm famous, I'm surrounded by good people.

He wasn't mocking the current situation, but rather he had genuinely experienced difficulties, scheming, and being tripped up; that was his past.

Huang Bo immediately replied, "I'm interested! I'm very interested!"

Seeing his enthusiasm, Chen Yan quickly poured cold water on him: "It's just about getting two songs released as ringtones. I can't sign any singers here, and I guess you can't switch back to being a singer."

"9

His performance in "Crazy Stone" was quite good.

Although he didn't become an overnight sensation because of this movie, he did win the Best Supporting Actor award at the Chinese Film Media Awards.

The whole country remembers this actor who isn't particularly good-looking but is very funny.

He has successfully entered the film and television industry, and resources have been flowing in continuously. Ning Hao even booked a second collaboration with him in "Crazy Racer" long ago.

"I'd even do harmonies for Director Chen's songs. If I had the chance to curry favor with you, wouldn't I be a fool?"

Huang Bo speaks in a smooth and tactful way, but he sounds very sincere and not annoying.

Chen Yan replied, "Sure, when are you free? I'll get the other person together and work on the song."

""

Recording ringtones isn't as complicated as releasing an album; you can just tune them in the recording studio.

So Chen Yan planned to call Yao Beina over as well, after hearing from Liu Yifei that her family had been keeping a close eye on her lately, and she was so bored she was practically growing weeds.

"Yes, I'm available anytime!"
