On the day after the full moon wine, the family did not return to Yanjing, but stayed in Shenmu for another day.

But Xu Xin was not with everyone the next day.

Instead, he rushed to Shanghai to attend the World Expo meeting. This time, he did not contact Xue Haifeng and the others.

It would be enough to contact him twice. It would be too deliberate if we meet him every time he goes there.

After a meeting in Shanghai, he returned to Yanjing. As soon as he got off the plane and said goodbye to Zhang Wu, he got into Cheng Hu's car.

The car started and we walked to the company.

After arriving at the company, Xu Xin walked to Yang Mi's office amid greetings from a group of people.

He has no sense of presence in the company. He is an idle employee outside the establishment. Naturally, he is not worthy of having an office.

Fortunately, he and the landlady have a nepotistic relationship, so it is reasonable to temporarily commandeer the boss's office when meeting guests.

"Mr. Xu, what do you want to drink?"

"Just have a cup of tea. Is anyone here?"

"We're already here, waiting in the reception room."

Hearing the little secretary's words, Xu Xin nodded:

"Just let them come over."

"OK."

Sitting on Yang Mi's large boss chair, he flipped through some documents on the table, and then heard footsteps coming from the door.

When he looked up, Lu Yang, Chen Shu, and Fang Xiu walked in together.

"Ha ha."

Xu Xin stood up with a smile:

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

He skipped the pleasantries and pointed to the sofa enthusiastically:

"sit."

With that said, he sat directly on the single sofa.

"Hello, Director Xu."

Lu Yang took Chen Shu with him to say hello.

Xu Xin nodded and nuzzled at Fang Xiu again, saving him the embarrassment caused by the different names.

After all, both of them call themselves Director Xu, and when Lao Fang says "Lao Xu", they will inevitably have a feeling of intimacy and distance.

After sitting down, Xu Xin asked:

"When did you come?"

"We just arrived. Then when we arrived, Director Fang also arrived."

Lu Yang's words meant that the three people already knew each other, and Xu Xin was spared the trouble of introducing someone.

So he nodded:

"Okay, I'll keep the story short. Have you read the script?"

"Looked at it."

Including Fang Xiu, three people nodded at the same time.

And Chen Shu even directly took out the script of "Deal".

That's right, Xu Xin came to meet three people today with the intention of launching the short film project "Transaction".

But this time he didn't plan to use the "boss" from West Film Studio. There was no need.

After the College Student Image Festival invited him to be the director of the opening short film, they gave him a budget of 100,000 yuan and a commission of 20,000 yuan.

The money is almost negligible.

For such a small amount of money, let alone hire Liu Yifei, any delay in the length of the film and the filming schedule will lead to overspending.

Not to mention the commission of 20,000 yuan.

Asking him to direct, if it were the normal price, it would cost at least two zeros more. This is still on the low side.

But he still took the job.

On the one hand, the platform placement of the short film "Transaction" is helpful to Liu Yifei.

On the other hand, he really wanted to film this story. Whether it was money or not, he didn’t even consider it.

And the reason why we called them here today is also very simple.

When people from Xiying Studio come over to film, they must be using cannons to swat mosquitoes. If nothing else, the cost of the business trip is a huge expense.

So he integrated his "existing" resources.

Fang Xiulai worked as a photographer, and Lu Haibo always wanted his son to have a stable environment to create. Then he would give him face and come over as an assistant director.

With Chen Shu

Together.

"Director Lu, what about the short film "Deal"? Let me first tell you and Director Chen about the situation. First of all, the photographer is Lao Fang, and Lao Fang and we are university students.

We are classmates, and we also produced the movie "Not Drunk" together."

"Uh-huh."

Lu Yang nodded to express his understanding.

"The heroine has been decided. As the opening short film of the College Student Video Festival, the heroine is Liu Yifei. But the role of the child still needs to be found. This is the entire lineup of the entire "Deal" crew now." After hearing his words, Lu Yang took a look.

Out of my own notepad:

"Director: Xu Xin Assistant Director: Lu Yang, Chen Shu Director of Photography: Fang Xiu Starring: Liu Yifei"

"Director Xu, these are the people, and Chen Shu and I will be responsible for the rest?"

"Yes."

Xu Xin nodded:

"In a week, I hope to finalize the location selection and preparations for other crew members. You can discuss this and see if there are any suitable people. For auditions, it should be done without delaying the children's studies. After all,

Isn’t there a holiday yet? So we can conduct a centralized selection on Saturday and Sunday.”

Hearing this, Lu Yang was a little surprised:

"Director Xu, this Saturday is the Golden Horse Awards, have you forgotten?"

"No, I'm not going."

Xu Xin waved his hand and said with a smile:

"If Yang Mi goes, I won't go. The child is too young. It won't work if both of us leave. One person has to be left at home to take care of the baby. So when you audition, I may not be able to go. Then the selected child will be

Just give me the audition footage."

"OK."

Lu Yang nodded to express his understanding:

"Then the three of us will be responsible for assembling the crew. The salary will be paid according to the normal salary. This is a short film, and for commercial purposes it will only be played in film festivals and on the Internet. I just like the story and have not done it."

What other plans are there for it? It's the same as "Not Drunk". The entire budget of the film is 120,000. Liu Yifei and I don't take any money, the rest of the production funds are all here. Oh, yes, the company will support the equipment, and other road guides

Just watch and do it."

With that said, Xu Xin stood up and took out a stack of manuscript paper from the backpack on the boss's desk.

"Give me some shots and a vague image design."

All documents and documents drawn by his own hand were placed in front of the three people.

"Just audition according to this feeling. Let me explain to you a few specially noted places. The first is a snow scene, snowy

Well, we have to look at the sky. What do you mean by God, when can we take pictures? It is divided into before snow and after snow, what I want to take here is."

He began to slowly talk about what he needed to pay attention to in this film in his concept.

The three of them began to take note with their notebooks. They chatted for about an hour.

Most of the time, Xu Xin was talking and the three of them were listening.

And an hour later, they had roughly figured out the director's shooting ideas, and the three of them already had an idea in their minds.

The entire movie is approximately less than half an hour long. The shooting time is about 7 days.

But these 7 days are quite sufficient.

According to Fang Xiu, as long as there are no problems with the young actors and the crew runs faster, it can be completed in two days at most.

He is someone who has seen Xu Xin's shooting style. What he said coincides with Xu Xin's.
