In the film and television industry, what is lacking is never an excellent script or an actor of the caliber of an emperor, but rather funding.
After all, this industry is too risky, and even the best script will usually see a company rope in a lot of capital for investnt, to prevent a scenario where they lose everything.
Therefore, Chen Yiyang, who is generous and willing to spend money, has beco soone everyone in the industry wants to associate with.
"The reason I ca over this ti is to hope Afternoon Sunshine can help produce a drama," Chen Yiyang stated his intention to Hou Liang and Kong Sheng.
"Can I take a look at the script? Who do you want for the actors?" Hou Liang imdiately asked.
His greatest hope was to get funding from Chen Yiyang to shoot the film they wanted to make themselves.
But since Chen Yiyang made a request, they wanted to first see if the project was reliable.
"There’s no script, nor are there any actors decided," Chen Yiyang shrugged and said decisively, "The the is the main lody of poverty alleviation in the Northwest, you write the script yourself, and decide on the main actors. At most, I’ll throw in two or three supporting roles."
The artists Chen Yiyang currently has signed, Pan Yuming just finished filming The Longest Day In Chang’an and is now shooting White Night Chasing Killer, no ti.
Gao Ye’s face has nothing to do with such main lody dramas at all. Even if the acting skills are up to par, they could play a major role, but it won’t help their future developnt.
As for Song Xi and Yang Jinlu...
What Chen Yiyang thought was to have them play a small supporting role to brush up their resus.
If they perform well, they can naturally earn so credit, if not, no one would care.
If these two were to be given important roles and ssed it up, it would definitely result in ridicule from the whole internet, which would instead be detrintal to their developnt.
So now, Chen Yiyang’s demand is that Afternoon Sunshine can film this main lody drama with quality and quantity assured, as for the script and actors, he doesn’t want to interfere at all.
Chen Yiyang’s words left Hou Liang and Kong Sheng stunned.
Well, well.
The golden benefactor of the entertainnt circle is true to their reputation.
No script yet, actors undecided, but as much money as needed will be provided.
They’re essentially paying them to practice.
"This main lody drama is a task I received from above, and I have only one requirent: there must be no mistakes in quality. As for the investnt, you don’t need to worry, I can cover it all."
"Let’s discuss a little bit." Hou Liang pulled Kong Sheng to have a small eting outside.
They ca back in just a bit over ten minutes.
"We can take on this main lody drama, and to show sincerity, Afternoon Sunshine is also willing to contribute a portion of the investnt."
"Then there’s no problem," Chen Yiyang patted the table, "You two really do give face."
"However, we also have a small request," Hou Liang suddenly spoke.
"Go ahead," Chen Yiyang motioned for Hou Liang to speak his mind.
"As everyone knows, Afternoon Sunshine prefers to shoot serious dramas. But actually, for the company’s future developnt plan, we don’t only want to shoot serious dramas and not shoot other types of series, it’s just that there has been no good script.
In fact, we want to shoot so series that the younger audience loves. Not long ago we bought the rights to a novel, intending to adapt it into a drama.
But this script has encountered so difficulties in attracting investnt, because this is the first ti Afternoon Sunshine is venturing into this area, so a lot of investors are not very confident about it."
Hou Liang was not entirely truthful.
As a mature team, Afternoon Sunshine, could easily get investnt for youth-favorite series, let alone children’s shows.
But because Afternoon Sunshine’s shows, although generally have good ratings, the profits are very low.
Investors, therefore, hope to exchange by investing, to put their artists into Afternoon Sunshine’s other important TV series.
Which Afternoon Sunshine finds hard to accept, so they hope to find a new investor.
However, Chen Yiyang did not mind this, he was just very curious about the content of the novel Afternoon Sunshine bought the rights to.
After all, a script that captures Afternoon Sunshine’s attention shouldn’t be of bad quality.
Therefore, Chen Yiyang expressed his wish to see the script.
Hou Liang also did not hide, directly handing over all the completed scripts to Chen Yiyang.
Chen Yiyang took the script and started to flip through it.
Next to him, Gong Fan was also very curious, and leaned over beside Chen Yiyang to look as well.
The story in the script wasn’t long, and Chen Yiyang and Gong Fan quickly finished reading it.
This script is indeed quite interesting, titled "Reset", the content tells the story of a male office worker and a female college student trapped in a ti loop on a bus.
Every ti it reaches a certain point, the bus would explode, killing all passengers and the driver on board.
To prevent this tragedy from happening, the two start to collaborate and try to uncover the hidden truth behind the bus explosion.
"This script is great," After reading, Chen Yiyang really liked it.
Then he asked again, "Have the actors been decided?"
"Not yet, but this script demands very high acting skills from the male and female leads. We hope to find so capable actors," Hou Liang cautiously stated his requirent.
Afternoon Sunshine doesn’t want to randomly insert actors for the capital, resulting in a collapse of reputation.
Capital can recomnd actors, but the acting skills must be up to par.
Hearing Hou Liang say this, Chen Yiyang imdiately dismissed the idea of recomnding actors.
Song Xi and Yang Jinlu are out of the question, their acting skills are certainly not up to standard.
Pan Yuming and Gao Ye do have acting skills, but their age does not fit. These two are in the age range of uncle and aunty, playing a newly graduated office worker and a female college student would indeed insult the audience’s intelligence.
Just then, next to him, Gong Fan suddenly tugged on Chen Yiyang’s sleeve.
"What’s up?" Chen Yiyang looked at Gong Fan.
"I have an actor I could recomnd," Gong Fan said in a low voice.
"Please wait a mont, I have sothing to discuss with Director Gong," Hearing this from Gong Fan, Chen Yiyang knew it might not just be a simple actor recomndation.
He thus asked Hou Liang and Kong Sheng to wait a mont, and he took Gong Fan out of the eting room, finding a quiet corner to chat.
"Do you rember the little girl from my movie The Wandering Earth 1?"
"Of course, she acted very well." When Chen Yiyang invested in Gong Fan’s The Wandering Earth 1, the film had already been shot, they were just looking for so special effects funding.
Thus, it was only after the film’s release that Chen Yiyang got to know several of the main actors in The Wandering Earth 1.
Wu Jing goes without saying, he was coaxed into it by Gong Fan.
The other two actors, the male actor had formal training and was selected through open auditions.
And there was a female actor, she was just a middle school girl at the ti of filming.
"The little girl I want to recomnd is her," Gong Fan said, "Her na is Zhao Jinmai, she just turned sixteen recently, and she sent a ssage hoping I could wish her a happy sixteenth birthday."
