Fan Dongping was a little surprised when Chen Feng said that Li Manyu had signed with Summit Entertainment. Anyway, Li Manyu was also a first-line female star who had won 5 Best Actress crowns back then, and she was so popular.
Although Summit Entertainment is well-known because of the great director Chen Feng, its foundation is too weak after all. It has not been established for more than a year. It is really unexpected that Li Manyu signed a contract with Summit Entertainment. However, this does mean that Summit Entertainment
Entertainment is recruiting troops and is very ambitious.
For Fan Dongping, joining Summit Entertainment at this time was not only because the benefits offered by the other party were very attractive, but also because Summit Entertainment might really develop and grow into the scale of one of the top ten domestic entertainment companies in the future.
At that time, if you own incentive stocks in such a large company, you will not have to worry about it in your life. Because as long as you own the incentive stocks of a general company, you can continue to hold them even after retirement and enjoy the dividends of the shares. Of course, the company
You can also redeem it with money. Then it will definitely be a large pension.
"Since Mr. Chen invites me so sincerely, I will no longer be pretentious. I am willing to join your Summit Entertainment."
Fan Dongping was almost half a hundred years old. In addition, he was wasting his life during this period, making no money, and being frustrated at home. He really was not qualified to take Qiao, and he didn't want to take Qiao. Therefore, he directly agreed to Chen Feng's solicitation.
, and stood up, bent slightly and took the initiative to reach out to Chen Feng.
"Very good." Chen Feng stood up with a smile, and immediately stretched out his hand to shake Fan Dongping's hand firmly, "Welcome to join us. With you joining our company, I believe it will be even more powerful. At least, what I will shoot next will
There won’t be much of a problem with the movie Sweet Honey. I went to win an award for this movie, and I hope you can also win a photography award with it."
Chen Feng attaches great importance to Fan Dongping and believes in his abilities, otherwise he would not personally recruit him this time and offer him such a generous salary. Now that he is really willing to join his company, Chen Feng
Of course I am very happy.
The two chatted for more than ten minutes in the coffee shop, mainly about professional knowledge in photography and videography. After such in-depth questioning, Chen Feng found that Fan Dongping was very capable. You must know that Chen Feng is also proficient in directing.
Of course, Chen Feng was very professional in his skills and the use of some lenses during filming. By chatting with him, Chen Feng could naturally verify his skills as a photography master back then. The result did not disappoint Chen Feng.
The two of them finished eating egg tarts and coffee at Youyuan Cafe before leaving, and agreed that he would come to Summit Entertainment in the afternoon to sign a contract, go to work, start working, and help assemble the crew.
Fan Dongping has been in the film industry for 20 to 30 years. Because "Butterfly Fairy" was also a hit back then, he has a wide network and knows many people. Not even Liu Gan can compare with him in this regard. Chen Feng entrusted him with it.
When it comes to recruiting the professional talents needed by the crew, such as lighting technicians, props artists, makeup artists, etc., it is best to hire top-notch talents in the industry. It is best to hire them directly.
When Chen Feng returned to the company, the first thing he told Li Manyu was the good news. Fan Dongping was someone Chen Feng wanted to recruit early on. Later he chatted with Li Manyu, and it turned out that Li Manyu also knew him and spoke highly of him. He tried his best to
Agree with Chen Feng to recruit him.
Therefore, Chen Feng was not wrong when he said that Li Manyu recommended Fan Dongping to him.
After knowing that Chen Feng successfully recruited Fan Dongping, Li Manyu was of course very happy. For a time, she became more confident in the movie "Sweet Honey".
At the same time, Li Manyu also told him that the score of "Sweet Honey" that Chen Feng gave her yesterday had been handed over to Teacher Deng Xiaoli and Deng through her classmates, but there was no reply yet. If there was a reply, she would notify Chen Feng immediately.
At almost one o'clock in the afternoon, Fan Dongping came to the company, and he didn't come alone. He also brought two people. One was his apprentice, and he was also a photographer in his thirties. This time he brought him over as a photographer.
His assistant, but he has already signed a contract with another company, so he can only sign a temporary contract this time. The other one is a lighting engineer, in his forties, and is his old partner Lao Gu. Photography and lighting complement each other.
He hasn't signed a contract with another company yet and is a free agent. This time Fan Dongping directly brought him over, which can be regarded as recommending talents to Chen Feng.
Fan Dongping and Lao Gu have been working together for several years, and Lao Gu's ability is definitely not bad. Therefore, Chen Feng directly agreed to sign him, and the treatment was very good. Lao Gu was also very happy.
After signing the contract with them, Chen Feng asked Su Qian to take charge of the formation of the "Sweet Honey" crew.
Five days later, the "Sweet Honey" crew was officially formed and divided into two groups to head to Shenzhen.
During these five days, Chen Feng was of course not idle, drawing shots and designing director scripts. Even if the director proficiency skills given to him by the system were gone, as long as he had these two things and his original director level 3,
I can barely cope with it.
In addition, it is necessary to determine the other actors for the film. This time their company has recruited 8 more actresses, but they are not suitable for them to play some important roles in it. However, in order to increase their experience and participation in the company
At the same time, it was also to let them experience the atmosphere of the crew firsthand, so Chen Feng took them with him when he went south to film this time. In addition to the two male and female protagonists, Chen Feng and Li Manyu, the other important supporting roles in this movie are
Chen Feng asked Li Binbin to play the hero's childhood sweetheart girlfriend Fang Xiaoting; Leopard Brother Chen Feng invited Zhang Zhiwei, a first-line actor from their company through Feihua Entertainment's Xia Binghui. Originally, Zhang Zhiwei had a schedule conflict, but after Xia Binghui's intervention
Next, plus Chen Feng is now well-known, Zhang Zhiwei was intercepted and took the initiative to participate in the film at a low price. Chen Feng only gave 3 million, which is very cheap. After all, he is a first-line actor.
He is an actor with outstanding acting skills. He even won the Best Actor title at a domestic film festival a few years ago. Even though his popularity has not increased, it has remained pretty good in the past few years.
The reason why Xia Binghui works so hard is, of course, because Chen Feng still has something in his hands that can put him in jail. Of course, the other party's arrangement is not a loss. Because this "Sweet Honey" will definitely be a very good one.
It is his luck that Zhang Zhiwei can participate in this classic movie.
Another important supporting role was the English teacher, so Chen Feng asked Jonas, a contracted actor from the Beauty Company, to play the role.
The remaining supporting role that still has some importance is the male protagonist's aunt, so Chen Feng invited Cai Yunlin, who has worked with her twice, to play the role. She is now considered to be the queen of the Chen family, even though she is not a contracted artist of Summit Entertainment.
In addition, Chen Feng also asked Jia Yong to take Li Dazhi to Shenzhen City to select filming locations for the movie early, and asked them to take photos every day, and then send them to him through the Internet for him to screen.
In five days, Chen Feng has initially determined several shooting spots, and he can only make the final decision after visiting them in person.
There were nearly fifty people in the entire crew. Chen Feng took Wenxiu to Shencheng by plane first, while Su Qian led the first group of twenty-five people and chartered a tour bus to Shencheng, which included some of the crew's filming equipment.
, props and the like.
The second batch will wait for the technical staff of the first batch of crew to set up camp there and follow them. This batch will mainly be actors.
Over in Shenzhen, Jia Yong and Li Dazhi had already rented a small hotel as a place for their crew to stay.
After Chen Feng arrived, he took the first step to conduct an on-the-spot inspection of the filming locations he had selected through photos. Several of the filming locations were roughly the same as the photos. After Chen Feng's on-site inspection, he changed two of the filming locations.
It's been officially decided.
Jia Yong and Li Dazhi hurriedly went to the relevant local departments to go through the formalities, obtain filming permits at several filming locations, and seek assistance from the local police when necessary.
In addition, several of the scenic spots have to be rented, which requires Jia Yong and Li Dazhi to communicate with the residents inside and discuss this in detail.
The first batch of crew members arrived in the afternoon of the next day and began to set up equipment.
On this day, Li Manyu called Chen Feng and told him happily that Deng Xiaoli and Teacher Deng agreed to sing the song "Sweet Honey" and also lend her voice to the movie "Sweet Honey".
Chen Feng was overjoyed when he heard that, and immediately said that he would go back to Beijing to see Teacher Deng immediately. As a result, Li Manyu told him that Teacher Deng Xiaoli had been living in Guangcheng. Because she was originally from Guangcheng, and she later became famous even though she had been living in Guangcheng.
Beijing, but since she retired, she has been living in her hometown of Guangcheng.
Shenzhen and Guangcheng are in the same province, and they are only half an hour's drive from each other. I made an appointment with Li Manyu to visit Teacher Deng Xiaoli at three o'clock in the afternoon.
Before that, Li Manyu had to fly from Beijing to Guangcheng, and Chen Feng had to go to the square airport to meet her first.
Chen Feng took Wenxiu and Liu Jianguo, wearing masks, and waited at Guangcheng Airport for almost half an hour before picking up Li Manyu.
Manyu Li also wears a big mask. There is flu at this time of year and there are many people wearing masks at the airport. In addition, Manyu Li has been out of the public eye for two years, so no one at the airport recognizes him. Not even Chen Feng.
After all, Guangcheng is not a place where paparazzi gather.
After the two met, they didn't say anything else at the airport. They got into the nanny car rented by Chen Feng and set off directly to Guangcheng.
Li Manyu didn't come alone this time. She was accompanied by a fat female assistant named Xiaoyue, who was a relative from her hometown and had been with her for many years. After she came back this time, she was the first one.
He called her to his side again.
After getting into the nanny car, Chen Feng asked her about Deng Xiaoli's specific singing audition.
Li Manyu then said with a smile: "At the beginning, after your classmate asked my classmate to hand over your music score to Teacher Deng, she happened to have something to do and didn't take care of it at the time. Then she was forgetful and forgot about it for a while, so she kept it for so long.
I know that last night, when the maid next to Teacher Deng was cleaning, she found your song sheet on the piano in the piano room and handed it to her. She took it over and looked at it. Then she liked it as soon as she tried to sing it, and then she remembered it.
She remembered that her granddaughter had sent her this sheet of music. So, she hurriedly contacted her granddaughter, who was also my classmate, and then contacted me."
When Chen Feng heard that there was such a story, after so many days, Chen Feng thought that Teacher Deng Xiaoli and Deng didn't like the song "Sweet Honey" very much, but it turned out not to be the case.
"Is that classmate also in Guangcheng now?"
Li Manyu nodded and said: "Yes. She is now working as a dance teacher at Guangcheng Art College."
"She studied dance?" Chen Feng was a little surprised. After all, they were classmates.
Li Manyu smiled and said: "Yes. She and I were both students at the Kyoto Dance Academy. I originally wanted to be a ballet dancer. But by accident, I ended up acting."
Although Chen Feng had checked her information before, he didn't notice that she studied dance in college.
"I see. This shows that your talent is still in acting."
Li Manyu smiled and shook her head and said: "Maybe. But I think maybe it would have been good if I had continued my studies and tried hard to dance ballet."
Chen Feng also smiled and shook his head: "There are not so many possibilities in life. Now that you have made a choice, don't regret it."
Li Manyu nodded solemnly: "Yes, you are right. People face many choices in their lives, and they have no regrets. Since they have chosen, there is no need to regret it. Just like when I chose to get married and have children, from now on, I
I made a mistake, but there is nothing to regret. After all, my little girl is very cute. For her, I am willing to do anything now. With her, I now feel that I have become very strong."
"Do you have a photo of your daughter? Can you show it to me?" Chen Feng was a little curious. In fact, he liked his daughter quite a bit, even though he had never been a father in his two lifetimes.
After Li Manyu was stunned for a moment, she took out her mobile phone and said with a smile: "What? Do you want my daughter to be a child star? I won't allow it. As someone who has been there, I don't want my daughter to be an actor like me in the future.
.”
Chen Feng smiled and said: "It's not up to you. Some things are just innate. Just like you, you originally wanted to be a ballet dancer, but in the end you became an actor."
Li Manyu shook her head helplessly. Then she opened her phone and found some photos of her daughter, and handed them to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng took the phone and looked at it. The pixels of mobile phones in this time and space are not high, and they are not beautiful. The photos are very real. And her daughter is indeed very cute. She is now three years old, and she is a standard.
A beautiful little beauty. If she is allowed to shoot commercials, she will definitely become the darling of those advertisements for maternal and infant products.
"It's really cute! It would actually be good if she could become a child star. Unfortunately, I don't have any suitable children's movies on hand at the moment."
Li Manyu rolled her eyes and said, "Thank you. I will not let my daughter become a child star."
Chen Feng spread his hands and said: "Okay, I respect you. However, I think you missed a very good opportunity. Maybe your daughter is happy to be a child star."
