After the two women left, Jia Yong asked curiously: "Brother, can I ask how much you invested in this drama?"
"800,000." Chen Feng gave the answer directly. Fat Brother was very kind to him, and he also planned to recruit Fat Brother to join the crew to help. Therefore, there was nothing to hide.
"With this money... it's okay to make a small-budget movie, but have you raised all this money?"
The two have known each other for a while, and each knew something about the other. He knew that Chen Feng himself would not be able to come up with so much money at once.
"I found an investor and raised half a million."
"who?"
"Liu Qinfei."
"What!? How could she invest in you? And also make a movie?" Jia Yong looked in disbelief.
"I don't know. But she really invested money, and the money has been transferred to my bank account."
"...Then how did you pull her?"
"I went over and talked to her directly, then showed her the script, and then she agreed to invest."
"...Is it because you are her fan? Moreover, you have confessed to her before?" Jia Yong was even more confused. Although half a million is not a lot for Liu Qinfei, she should not be so hasty.
"Maybe it's the script." Chen Feng was also unsure.
"Can I read the script?" Jia Yong was curious.
"Okay. Take a look." Chen Feng simply took out a copy of the printed script and handed it to Jia Yong.
The script is not long, only a dozen pages of printed paper.
Jia Yong took a rough look at it, and he really couldn't see what was good about this script. Of course, he was not a professional after all. It can only be said that his level was not enough. However, he could see that Chen
Feng's movie is really a low-budget indoor drama. At most, it only has a few shots outside the gate. There is no second scene in the whole movie. When the time comes, all you have to do is rent a house, which won't cost much. 800,000 is needed to shoot such a scene.
It's more than enough for an independent film.
"As a rough guy like me, my skills are limited. I can't tell how good this script is at first glance. However, if Miss Liu can invest money for you, it must mean it's good. After it's filmed, it might be able to sell for a good price."
"Since you are so optimistic about it, fat brother, then come and help me. I will give you 30,000 yuan. It will not exceed a month. Just as I said before, if you join my crew, you guys won't be able to do it for the time being."
"Okay. I said before that if you make a movie, I will help you. Whether it's money or not is secondary. The main thing is that I am also interested in making movies and working with the crew. I used to play a supporting role.
As a group leader, I really don’t have the opportunity to directly participate in the crew. You are giving me an opportunity to gain experience, which I can’t ask for.”
"Then it's settled. Some of the trivial matters of this crew will be left to you in the future. Including contacting the filming location, coordinating the crew members, and also helping me register a company, etc., is that okay?"
"No problem. I know all these things. After all, I have been in this industry for more than ten years." "Then I'll trouble you."
"You are my boss now. You are the one who pays me my salary. No need to worry about anything. Haha, I will call you boss from now on."
"Don't! If others don't know, don't you know my details? I'm just a poor person?"
"What? What is poor diaosi?"
"Oh, it just means being poor and frustrated."
"Boss, you are not poor. At least you still have 800,000 in hand now."
"800,000 is a lot in the eyes of poor people, but it's really nothing in the eyes of rich people." "We don't need to compare with those rich people."
"It's no better than nothing. People always have to aim high and look forward to Shu. What if it comes true? Don't you think so?"
"...You must be talking about dreams, right?"
"A meaning."
"..."
After the two chatted for a while, the photographer finally arrived.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I could have come a long time ago, but the crew added a scene at last minute, so I was delayed. I'm sorry, you two."
The photographer's name is Liu Gan, ******, who is in his thirties. According to Jia Yong's introduction, he graduated from the Beijing Film Academy and has been working in the film and television photography industry for several years. Although he is still He has not gained any fame, but there is always no shortage of work in the film and television city, which shows that his photography skills are quite solid. More importantly, this person pays fairly, and he does what he pays, and he is not picky. Yes, and very serious when working.
To put it simply, his reputation is very good, otherwise there would not be so many film crews looking for him to work.
Of course, basically the people who work for him are small film crews.
Judging from the first impression, this person treats others very well. He took the initiative to sincerely apologize for being a little late, and he did not have a contemptuous or arrogant attitude after seeing Chen Feng. This is very rare.
"It's okay, it's not too late. Brother Fat should have told you about my affairs. If you are willing to join my crew, the shooting period will not exceed one month. It may be completed within half a month. How about a reward of 50,000 ?”
Liu Gan thought for a while and said: "In this way, if 50,000 yuan is no problem within half a month, it will have to be 80,000 yuan within a month."
"Okay. No problem. Just sign the contract."
Chen Feng was so straightforward that Liu Qian was stunned for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Why do I feel like I'm at a loss?"
Jia Yong smiled and said: "Liu Gan, if others don't know, don't I know? What you just gave is almost the market price, so what are you losing? Besides, this is an indoor drama, and you don't need to carry a camera around."
"That's good. I agree." Liu Gan smiled and nodded.
"Then sign the contract and take a look." Chen Feng took out the contract he had drawn up and handed it to him.
Liu Gan was an expert in this area. After taking the contract and looking at it carefully, he said: "There is nothing wrong with this contract. As for the additional 30,000 yuan for half a month's overdue, I don't ask you to add it. I trust Brother Fat and I also trust you."
Chen Feng smiled and said: "If you say so, then I must add this clause. In this way, I will redo the contract when I go back, and I'll trouble you to come back tomorrow."
Jia Yong said: "Don't bother me. I have a computer printer here. Just modify it and print it out. Anyway, you have to wait for someone."
Liu Gan just smiled and did not refuse.
When Chen Feng heard this, he certainly didn't want to be polite to Jia Yong. The computer was on one side against the wall.
In the past, he turned on the computer and used it skillfully to modify the contract and print it out. After reading it again this time, Liu Qian signed it directly. He also said that the work he was doing now could be completed in five or six days at most, and he would be ready at that time. The news arrived. Of course Chen Feng had no objection to this.
He is completely empty-handed now, and with the help of a local coward like Jia Yong, it will take at least a few days to build up the airs.
After Liu Gan left, Jia Yong called and urged the other two male actors who had made an appointment. They were a bit far away, and they waited for almost half an hour before they arrived.
The two of them came together, the younger one is in his forties, and the other is in his fifties. They are both authentic Yeluzi "veteran actors" who have played small roles in many film and television dramas, and their acting skills are absolutely top-notch. They act for fun, and to make extra money, and they still have their own jobs. They are colleagues, and they work for a long time, so they usually have a lot of free time.
Chen Feng took the initiative to try out their scenes this time, and the results were quite satisfactory. His ability to memorize lines was not as good as those of the two girls before, but his acting skills were obviously better than theirs, which is very rare. More importantly, Yes, these two people are bookish and more in line with the role of cultural figures in the play.
Chen Feng also successfully signed contracts with them. Both of them received a salary of 20,000 yuan.
In this way, this crew only needs one veteran female actor with cultural temperament.
