After many days of work, Xiao Yunhai finally finished writing the script for Yongzheng Dynasty.
At this time, Water Margin had officially started shooting. The famous director Cheng Song took over from Chen Qingqing and became the new director of Water Margin.
Xiao Yunhai went online to look up Cheng Song and found that he was 42 years old this year. He entered the industry at 18 years old and had filmed many movies and TV series with historical themes. His resume was not bad, but of course, it was far from Chen Qingqing.
Xiao Yunhai did not think highly of him because the online introduction said that Cheng Song had a soft personality. He treated people politely and spoke kindly. He was not a director who could control the situation. In "Water Margin," there was a Best Actor, Best Actress, veteran actors, A-list celebrities, and two assistant directors. If Cheng Song couldn't get a erection when the time came, he was afraid that filming this movie would be very difficult.
Of course, this had nothing to do with Xiao Yunhai. After he finished writing the script for Yongzheng Dynasty, he called Chen Qingqing directly.
Recently, Chen Qingqing's mood had been very irritable. His wife kept mumbling in his ear all day long, which annoyed him to death. The reason was because of "Water Margin".
It turned out that Chen Qingqing and his wife had a son named Chen Xiangyang. He had just returned from studying in the United States this year and was majoring in acting. He looked like his mother and was very handsome. He was much better looking than Chen Qingqing.
As a father, Chen Qingqing naturally wanted to pave the way for his son. Coincidentally, he was invited by the Ministry of Culture to direct Water Margin. So, Chen Qingqing gave the role of Yan Qing, one of the 108 generals, to Chen Xiangyang.
Chen Xiangyang did put in a lot of effort. Not only did he watch Water Margin from beginning to end several times, he also signed up for an acting training class and asked the teacher to do special training for him every day.
In just a few days, Chen Xiangyang grasped the essence of the role of Yan Qing. After acting a few scenes in front of Chen Qingqing, Chen Qingqing was very satisfied.
Just when Chen Xiangyang had great ambitions and wanted to use the role of Yan Qing to become famous, unexpectedly, his father, Chen Qingqing, suddenly resigned from his position as director. Chen Xiangyang was also implicated and lost the role of Yan Qing.
Although Chen Xiangyang was very upset, he was a filial child and did not show any dissatisfaction in front of his father.
However, Chen Qingqing's wife couldn't take it anymore. She knew that her son had put in a lot of effort for this role. She didn't expect that in the end, it was all because of Chen Qingqing.
Therefore, for the next few days, no matter how she looked at Chen Qingqing, she was not pleasing to the eye. Every day, she would pick on him and scold him for a while. Of course, Xiao Yunhai was also blamed. This made Chen Qingqing very angry, but there was nothing he could do.
Anyway, it was impossible for him to be thick-skinned and beg Tian Jishang to return the role of Yan Qing to his son. He would never do it even if he was beaten to death.
When Xiao Yunhai called him, Chen Qingqing was quarreling with his wife. The phone rang several times, but he didn't hear it. In the end, it was Chen Xiangyang, who had just entered the door, who reminded him and picked up the phone.
When Chen Qingqing saw that it was Xiao Yunhai calling, he slightly frowned and said to his wife, "This is Yunhai's call. You shut up. If he hears you complaining about others, I won't be able to face him. Do you hear me? "
His wife naturally knew about Xiao Yunhai's status in the entertainment industry. She snorted and turned her head away.
"Hello, Yunhai, what's the matter?"
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Director Chen, I want to ask if you're free recently? I want to ask you to direct a drama. "
Chen Qingqing's eyes lit up and said, "What drama?"
Xiao Yunhai said, "Of course, it's the historical drama that you're best at. Didn't I get banned? I had nothing to do, so I wrote a script for 'Yongzheng Dynasty' at home. I think it's very suitable for you. As soon as I finished writing, I called you. "
Hearing Xiao Yunhai's words, Chen Qingqing paused for a while before saying, "You wrote it for me because of 'Water Margin', right?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I don't deny that it's because of this. Director Chen, to be honest, I'm really not optimistic about you taking on 'Water Margin'. The relationship in it is too complicated. Although you're the director, it's obvious that this drama is not entirely up to you. "
Chen Qingqing laughed at himself and said, "The reason why I took the initiative to withdraw from this drama, in addition to feeling a little sorry for you, is that in this crew, I can't even make the decision. Even the right to cast was taken away by Tian Junhao, the assistant director. You can imagine how much power I will have when it comes to the actual shooting. Yunhai, I'm really sorry. If I hadn't called you to go, you wouldn't have been banned by the Ministry of Culture for half a year. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "You've said this more than a hundred times since I was banned. Tian Jishang deliberately made me go. Even if you didn't call me, someone else would have called me, and the result would have been the same. What's more, this wasn't a big deal. After a while, I'll shoot two low-budget domestic comedic movies in a row. After the ban is over, I'll let them be released one after another and occupy the entire summer. I estimate that the box office will be at least eight billion yuan. "
Chen Qingqing laughed and said, "In the entire entertainment industry, only you, Xiao Yunhai, can speak in such a tone. It's not bad for others to have a box office of 800 million yuan. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Don't put me on a pedestal. Director Chen, I'll send the script of 'Yongzheng Dynasty' to your email now. It's not too late to answer me after you've read it. Don't worry, as long as you agree to direct this drama, the funding, casting, and shooting will all be up to you. I won't restrict you in any way. "
Chen Qingqing said, "I heard from Old Wu and Old Du about your style as an investor. Okay, send the script to me. I'll give you a heads-up in advance. If the script isn't good, I won't accept it. "
Xiao Yunhai said confidently, "This drama won't be worse than your 'Kangxi the Great'. If it's done well, the average ratings will definitely exceed 10."
Chen Qingqing said happily, "Then what are you waiting for? Send it to me quickly. "
Chen Qingqing hung up and said to Chen Xiangyang, who was pleasantly surprised, "Xiangyang, go get your laptop. I need to use it."
Chen Xiangyang quickly nodded and said, "I'll go now."
His wife, who had been eavesdropping, asked, "Old Chen, did Mr. Xiao write a drama for you?"
"Mr. Xiao?" Chen Qingqing snorted and said, "Haven't you always called him Xiao Yunhai? When did you become so polite? "
His wife, Zhang Cuiping, blushed and said, "Okay, okay, okay. I was wrong, okay?"
Chen Qingqing sighed and said, "Yunhai tailor-made a historical drama 'Yongzheng Dynasty' for me. As long as I agree, the whole drama will be completely up to me. Compared to the crew of 'Water Margin', it's many times better. Even if we don't talk about feelings and only talk about benefits, ten Tian Jishang and his son can't compare to one Xiao Yunhai. In terms of character, the father and son are even worse. Yunhai is only 24 years old this year, but he has already become an internationally famous director and a world-famous tycoon. If Xiangyang could become friends with him, it would definitely be beneficial for his development. Didn't you see that all the artists who have a good relationship with Xiao Yunhai have become big stars? "
Zhang Cuiping nodded and said, "Old man, you're right. From the fact that he wrote a script for you, we can see that his character is indeed good. "
