Chapter 332 Jing Tian asks for a show
One day, Zhang Chen was filming when the phone suddenly rang.
Picking it up, I found it was Lu Zheng.
When the call was connected, Lu Zheng on the other end said immediately: "Director Zhang, is it convenient for us to visit the class?"
As soon as the other end finished speaking, the airport flight notification sounded in the background of the phone.
Zhang Chen was stunned, and then asked uncertainly: "Are you at the airport?"
"Well, I just landed in Los Angeles."
Zhang Chen curled his lips: "Then it's inconvenient to ask why, just come directly."
He also didn't expect that the first people to visit the class would be Jing Tian and Lu Zheng.
There was a high probability that he could guess a little bit about the arrival of these two people, but the filming of the movie had already started, and it was impossible to add roles, no matter how much money was given.
After asking for the location of the crew, the two of them drove there and showed up at the crew about an hour later.
"Director Zhang, I'm so sorry for coming here without prior notice~"
Lu Zheng apologized as soon as they met. Zhang Chen couldn't say anything to him even if he didn't hit the smiling person.
"Hello, Director Zhang~" Behind Lu Zheng, Jing Tian greeted with a smile.
What can I say about this girl? She is really nice, polite, well-educated, and hard-working.
There is nothing objectionable about him except that he likes to throw money at people.
Even throwing money at people is not a disadvantage, it is even an advantage.
Zhang Chen had a very good impression of Jing Tian.
"Have you not been filming recently?"
"It's filmed. "The Great Sage" directed by Liu Zhenwei will be released next month."
"Huh? "The Great Sage"? Who did you play?"
Zhang Chen was curious. He had watched "The Great Sage of Love" in his previous life, but he didn't remember that Jing Tian was in it.
"I play the princess in it~" Jing Tian felt a little embarrassed.
It actually shocked Zhang Chen.
He remembered that the original princess was played by Fan Xiaopang, and her appearance in this drama was very stunning. At that time, she was wandering around Hong Kong and hooked up with Fatty Hong, who was probably the resource that Fatty Hong found for her.
I just didn't expect that since Fan Binbin never entered the Hong Kong industry, this role would fall into the hands of Jing Tian.
No need to guess, he must have used his money ability again.
"Director Zhang, the reason why I brought Tiantian here this time is actually to let her learn more and see how other actors act~"
Jing Tian also said next to him: "Yes, Director Zhang, can I watch from the side? It's right at the back and it won't affect the shooting."
"Mr. Lu is very polite. Of course I have no objection to coming to study, but my shooting schedule is quite tight. I'm afraid I won't be able to greet you if I get busy."
"Director Zhang doesn't need to worry about us, we can take care of ourselves."
Of course what they said was polite. It was definitely impossible for Jing Tian to travel thousands of miles to learn acting. It was not like there was no crew in the country.
But it is true that Zhang Chen is busy here.
We had dinner together at noon, and Zhang Chen specially introduced Jing Tian and Fan Binbin to each other.
I have been busy shooting in the afternoon, and I really didn’t pay much attention to the two of them.
When resting at night, Lu Zheng finally explained his intention.
"The premiere of "The Great Sage"? Sorry, I don't have time for this. As you can see, the filming schedule for "A Quiet Place" is very tight. I want to complete the filming before the year, so I can't waste any time... …”
Hearing that Zhang Chen could not attend, Jing Tian's eyes welled up with disappointment.
But Zhang Chen also had to say the same thing.
The main reason why he refused to return to China was because he wanted to avoid the premiere of "The Promise".
Poet Chen attended the premiere of "Manslaughter" before.
He will definitely be invited to the premiere of "The Promise".
People are coming to your premiere, so you have to support them too.
Being in the entertainment industry is all about courtesy and worldliness.
But Zhang Chen really didn’t want to go. If you went to the media and asked him what he thought after watching it, what would he say?
I couldn't understand it, but I was shocked?
Come on, Zhang Chen doesn’t even want to say this.
Simply stay away.
So you definitely can't go to the premiere of "The Great Sage", not only "The Great Sage", but also the other "If Love".
Logically speaking, Chen Kexin would definitely send him an invitation letter, but he couldn't go. He definitely couldn't go.
Or go to none of them.
If one goes, they all have to go.
"Understand, understand, everything is about the movie~"
Lu Zheng seemed to have expected such a result, and was not surprised at all.
But he immediately said: "I wonder how Director Zhang is thinking about what I mentioned last time?"
What happened last time?
What happened last time?
Lu Zheng had obviously thought of this, and reminded him softly: "Last time, I said that we, Starlight, can invest in a movie. We don't want any profits or copyrights. We only hope that Director Zhang can use Tiantian as the heroine..."
When Lu Zheng said this, Zhang Chen remembered.
How generous!
Speaking of which, Lu Zheng really spared no effort to support Tiantian.
"How much are you prepared to invest?"
"50 million, if it's not enough, I'll find a way~"
Hiss~
Zhang Chen took a breath of cold air.
50 million is certainly not much to make a movie, but it is a lot just to support a female star.
Moreover, Lu Zheng said that he doesn’t want any of the copyrights or profits, so wouldn’t it just be given to Zhang Chen for nothing~
It would be a lie to say that you are not moved.
Money moves people's hearts.
The key is that Zhang Chen has a ready-made script in his hand.
Not to mention that with Xingchen Entertainment's current investment ability, if a movie is made for 50 million, the cost may be recouped in advertising fees alone. In other words, even if the movie is not released, he can still make a net profit of 50 million.
And will his movies lose money? It's impossible.
With his current celebrity status, even if he makes a bad movie comparable to "The Promise", he won't be able to lose money.
Ten million or twenty million, Zhang Chen doesn't care.
Fifty to sixty million or even more, he has to think about it~
But then another problem arises. He now has too many films to shoot.
Cheng Long's "Violent Street" hasn't been finalized yet. This is another one and I don't have time at all.
In this case, he could only tell the truth: "I'll be honest with you two, I do have a suitable script for Jing Tian, and it's a heroine type, but I don't have time to shoot it, and I won't have time to shoot it for at least the next two years." Movie~"
Lu Zheng was shocked. What shocked him was not that Zhang Chen didn't have time, but that Zhang Chen actually said that he had a suitable script now.
He and Jing Tian looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.
"I wonder if it would be convenient for Director Zhang to reveal what type of film it is?"
It's not that he doesn't believe it, there are too few movies with female protagonists in the industry. So far, only Zhang Chen has filmed one.
Zhang Chen didn't hide it either: "It's a story similar to "Shark Beach", it can be regarded as her sister chapter."
Jing Tian almost jumped up with excitement.
What is "Shark Beach"? It was the work that single-handedly made Fan Binbin famous, and it was also Zhang Chen's first film that exceeded 100 million yuan.
Director Zhang's new story is a companion piece to "Shark Beach", so wouldn't he be the second Fan Binbin?
Holding back the joy in her heart, Jing Tian looked at Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng knew what this aunt meant and immediately said: "No problem, Director Zhang, it doesn't matter if you can't direct. You can recommend a director or we can find a director ourselves. As long as it is the script you provided, the conditions I just mentioned remain the same." Unchanged.”
It’s really atmospheric!
"Okay, in a few days, I'll write the script when I'm not so busy. Then we'll see which director is suitable. But my suggestion is that it's best not to shoot right away. Jing Tian still needs to improve his acting skills. , otherwise the good book will be wasted~"
The script Zhang Chen was talking about was "Crocodile". Initially, "Shark Beach" and "Crocodile" were personal stories he prepared for Zeng Li and Che Xiao. Later, they were shelved because Che Xiao got married. At that time, Lu Zhengyi said that he just remembered.
