Chapter 72 Chapter 72 Release

Seeing that he had convinced the other party, Wen Yu added, "Believe me, after losing weight and having plastic surgery, you won't have the chance to regret it."

That's the truth.

Xia Qingyi weighed the options quickly in her mind, and then she nodded.

"You, are you the great master of the film and television city?"

“…”

Wen Yu thought, is he already so famous now? If only he were this famous as an actor.

In life, it is true that if you plant willows by accident, they will grow into a shade, but if you plant flowers intentionally, they may not bloom.

In one word: pit.

Wen Yu returned to the team quietly. After that, he would occasionally search the Internet for information about Xia Qingyi.

There wasn't much news, so I don't know what choice the girl made in the end.

After having fun at the beach for a few days, Wenyu and his group finally returned.

After having enough fun and feeling tired, I went home to rest for a few days, and finally my mind returned to work again.

Although filming a drama is enough for them to live for several years, several of them have experienced being unemployed and barely able to eat, and they feel uneasy if they don't work.

A few people got together and started discussing the content of the next movie.

Ying Tianrui said: "Teacher Mi, I have read the script of The Invisible Man 2, and I think it is very good. Based on the first part, the second part can be said to be no less good, or even more exciting. My idea is that we can ignore the first part which has not been released yet and start filming the second part first."

There is naturally no problem with Mi Hong as the screenwriter.

The same goes for Wen Yu and the others. It has been several months since the last film was wrapped, and they have almost had enough rest and want to work again.

Wen Yu said: "We have no problem, now we just need to get the investment in place."

Their current financial backer is Gao Ren, Mr. Gao, and they have to ask him if he agrees.

Gao Ren's is a small company with limited funds. It may be difficult to invest in the second part when the previous investment has not yet paid off.

Ying Tianrui was a little excited and didn't think about this problem at once.

Ever since he got hold of Gao Ren's support, he has been a little dazzled by his good luck.

When did he start to feel that money was no longer a problem?

Ying Tianrui thought that he was really getting too proud.

However, the result of this short meeting was extremely unanimous, that is, everyone had no problem with filming "The Invisible Man 2" as the next drama.

All that’s left is to ask Gao Ren for money.

Gao Ren has been very busy recently. Now that matters related to the release of "The Invisible Man 1" have been almost completed, he can be said to have breathed a sigh of relief.

It happened again and again, and this time he was much more familiar with the process than when the first movie was released.

I also got to know more people in this circle.

When Ying Tianrui went to find him, there happened to be two people who were also investors in the same circle.

As soon as Gao Ren saw Ying Tianrui, he immediately introduced him: "This is Director Ying, my best friend and high school classmate. Without him, there would be no company for me."

Gao Ren introduced the two people opposite to Ying Tianrui.

One is Luo Chengjie, an investor with a net worth of over 100 million yuan, and the other is Shi Lu, who just switched careers and became a director.

The two were friends and had worked together before, so they were very familiar with each other.

Ying Tianrui greeted the people, but when he saw there were outsiders present, he naturally didn't want to mention the new movie, so he just sat together and chatted.

After listening for a while, Ying Tianrui realized that these two people were actually introduced by Director Shen.

Sitting together, several people talked about Liu Yang.

Luo Chengjie said: "I don't know if you have heard, Director Liu Yang got married."

Gao Ren was not familiar with Liu Yang, but Ying Tianrui was familiar with him. Because of this person, he and Li Chaoyan even acted out a love scene.

"Is he married?"

When Ying Tianrui heard the news, his first reaction was, dogs have changed to eating shit?

He thought that such a man would have to wait until he was at least 40 or 50 to get married. After all, once married, he would not have the freedom to play as a single man now.

Shi Lu nodded and said, "He got married last week. They got the marriage certificate very low-key and didn't even have a wedding. We knew about it because the woman he married is an actress we've worked with before. She's not a big star, but she's a third or fourth-tier actress in the industry. She posted it on WeChat Moments and we all saw it."

Ying Tianrui digested the news and then thought that some people who can survive and get by have their strengths, and that is that they really know what’s appropriate.

The immortal watched him for a few days, and he really changed his ways completely.

Sure enough, Luo Chengjie and Shi Lu then started talking about some gossip about Liu Yang. They also kept sighing that after living for decades, this was the first time they saw a prodigal son return.

Liu Yang should live another ten or eight years to set an example of a man who loves his wife and family.

Finally, Ying Tianrui came back from Gao Ren, feeling dizzy and even forgot about the new movie.

Halfway through the walk, he had to turn back to look for someone.

Gao Ren had just seen off two guests when he saw Ying Tianrui looking back and asked him what was the matter.

Gao Ren got straight to the point and said, "Let's talk about the new movie in detail?"

After the two of them talked in detail, Gao Ren said yes without hesitation.

Ying Tianrui was a little curious: "Brother Ren, you are so rich now? Did I underestimate you?"

Gao Ren pointed in the direction where Luo Chengjie had just left and said, "I don't have money, but others do. Director Shen introduced me to them, so they came to me because they wanted to invest and make money together. I don't mind sharing a piece of the pie with others. It's impossible for me to make all the money in the world by myself, right?"

Ying Tianrui looked at him as if he were looking at a familiar stranger.

Gao Ren looked puzzled: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Ying Tianrui reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Ren, you have grown up and become more and more like an adult!"

Gao Ren: “…Get lost!”

He is already in his twenties and almost thirty. How can he still be a little kid?

Ying Tianrui probably didn't see himself on the set. He was becoming more and more mature, and after devoting himself to the work, he became a director.

With new investors, funding is no longer a problem.

Luo Chengjie is indeed a mature investor. As he said, he has invested in many projects. The entire cooperation, contract signing and payment process were all very smooth.

When they heard that the other party was worth over 100 million, Wen Yu and the others were envious.

"Hundreds! I didn't have that many Happy Beans even when I was playing Landlord. How can anyone be so rich?"

"I don't even need 100 million. I can just lay down and live with 10 million. With that much money, why should I work? I can just retire right now!"

"Look at how promising you are. I don't even need 10 million. A deposit of 3 million will do."

"…Where's your face?"

…

While bickering, a few people began to prepare for joining the crew and starting filming.

With money, time, and the confidence of works to be broadcast, Ying Tianrui and Mi Hong planned to spend half a year training the actors after studying the script.

For example, Li Chaoyan, in "The Invisible Man 1", managed to shoot the last two fighting scenes, but it was done with fear. This time, Ying Tianrui decided to find someone to train in advance.

We will also arrange more exciting fighting scenes for her. Since we are one of our own, we will make sure she is filmed in a way that impresses the audience!

Of course, Ding Ci, the male lead, will definitely not fall behind and will practice hard.

There are also several supporting roles, Min Xuanguang, Xu Xian, and even Xu Chen and Sun Xifei, who are extras and both on-site workers and extras, all of whom need to practice.

If I don't change my career to become a full-time actor in the future, it would be nice to be a gold medal supporting actor in their crew.

In Ying Tianrui's words, they are just a small workshop anyway, they are all family members, they can do whatever they want, and there is no such thing as praising "outsiders" too much and then having them run away, which would be of no benefit to them.

It’s even better if those who became famous in his crew can get out!

Nowadays, audiences and fans all like archaeology, and isn’t this also a form of free publicity for them?

Ying Tianrui is open-minded and is willing to give supporting roles and highlights.

Xu Chen and the others had simple thoughts. They just shot whatever they were told to do. At the same time, they could see clearly that people like them would just play supporting roles in Ying Tianrui's crew.

After they go out, who will care about them?

They have ordinary looks, and there are a lot of extras in the cast. As for their acting skills, there is nothing to say, there are many who are better than them.

What’s more, there is a great immortal in charge, so who would be so stupid as to cause trouble?

Finally, when half a year of training was about to end, "The Invisible Man 1" was released.

The film was not released in any popular period, but at the tail end of the summer vacation.

Anyway, for a low-budget movie like theirs, they don't intend to compete for the annual box office champion or anything like that.

In addition, the filming cost is not high and there is no box office pressure.

The weather was still very hot, and Wenyu and his friends bought the latest midnight show.

It’s been more than a year since the last movie was released, and this time, they were the ones who made an appointment to watch a movie late at night.

Jiang Ying and Ding Ci came together. Last time they were a young couple just beginning to fall in love, but now they already feel like an old married couple.

A few people greeted each other and sat together.

It was late at night and there was no one else in the hall where they were, so everyone spoke freely without worrying about disturbing others.

Jiang Ying: "Director Ying, when will you start filming? I have time recently, can I go and make a cameo appearance for you?"

Ying Tianrui said, "Soon, maybe next month... Of course it would be great if you could come and make a cameo appearance. Let's adjust our schedules. How many days can you come to shoot?"

Jiang Ying didn't even have to think: "It depends on what role Director Ying gives me. If you want to give me a supporting role, I can join the group directly."

Ying Tianrui: "You are such a big female star, and you want me to play a supporting role. I don't dare to do it even if I want to."

Just kidding, a cameo can be explained as a good relationship between everyone and fans won't mind it. If someone really plays a supporting role, then the movie will be unwatchable and fans will scold them to death.

Jiang Ying also knew it, and she was helpless.

She said: "Then I will get married, have a baby, and cool down. Then I can make a comeback and transform myself."

Ying Tianrui: “…”

Ding Ci: “…”

Everyone else present: "..."

Everyone's gaze was focused on Jiang Ying first, then on Ding Ci.

What I mean is, you're getting married, but you didn't even say a word!

Ding Ci’s face suddenly turned red.

"Child?"

He stuttered, looking towards Jiang Ying's belly.

Jiang Ying reached out and slapped his arm: "You're not pregnant, don't get excited."

Ding Ci said "Oh" and suddenly felt a little disappointed... He would be very willing to get married, have children, and start a family if it was with Jiang Ying!

The conversation between the few people was soon forced to stop and the movie began.
