Chapter 388 Who Is Whose Father-in-Law? Don't Talk Nonsense!

Chen Shuren's worries at this time were also Sun Wen's worries.

Although he felt that a box office of over 100 million was enough, since Chen Shuren had other ideas, he naturally had to think from Chen Shuren's perspective.

He is different from Li Linfeng, so he cannot be like Li Linfeng, whose first reaction is to refute Chen Shuren when he proposes an idea.

But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't figure out how to make the first big movie he directed enter the top three in the Spring Festival.

He is just a new director. Even if he sells his looks, no one will want him.

Sighing in his heart, Sun Wen suddenly wanted to smoke.

While Sun Wen was silent and Li Linfeng was waiting for Chen Shuren's decision, Zeng Juan's voice rang out.

"I can contact some people, which should be able to increase the theater scheduling rate."

Zeng Juan's words made everyone else look over.

Li Linfeng was also a little surprised and asked: "Director Zeng, your relationship is..."

He didn't know what Zeng Juan's relationship was, but after living in Yangzhou for so long, he could only talk to the directors of a few theaters, but compared to one theater chain, the difference between several theaters was huge. Anything more is just a drop in the bucket.

"I know people from Qincheng Pictures, and they should be able to get some film schedules, but even so, the most we can do is increase the film schedule from 1% to 1.5%. If we want to enter the top three in the Spring Festival, it is still not enough, but... …”

"But what?"

Sun Wen asked.

Zeng Juan looked at Chen Shuren.

"But Xiaoshu, you may get more films."

Chen Shuren was originally listening to Zeng Juan's plan, but suddenly he was a little confused when he heard that he could ask for the film.

"I?"

"right."

Zeng Juan nodded and showed a smile.

"Qincheng Pictures currently occupies about 20% of the cinema market share in Qingzhou and Yangzhou. If you can handle Qincheng Pictures, at least in terms of film schedule, there won't be much of a problem."

Chen Shuren was stunned, then smiled bitterly and said: "Sister Zeng, you can only get 0.5% of the share if you come forward. I don't know the people in Qincheng Pictures, how can I ask them to help me... Could it be that the person in charge of Qincheng Pictures Are you my fan?"

"No, even my fans wouldn't do this."

Chen Shuren shook his head and dismissed this ridiculous idea.

"Or maybe Sister Zeng, you mean that someone at Qincheng Pictures needs new songs? Want me to write songs for the schedule? How many songs do I have to write?"

Chen Shuren really couldn't imagine that besides his influence in the music scene and variety shows, what else could impress Qincheng Pictures.

Seeing Chen Shuren making random guesses, Zeng Juan smiled and shook her head.

"no."

"what is that?"

Not to mention Chen Shuren, Sun Wen and Li Linfeng were both curious about what Zeng Juan was selling.

"Xiaoshu, do you know who the boss of Qincheng Pictures is?"

Chen Shuren shook his head, and Li Linfeng answered.

"Qin Chenglin."

"Yes, it's Qin Chenglin."

Zeng Juan nodded.

Chen Shuren frowned. When he heard the name Qin Chenglin, he felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

"Qin Chenglin..."

Sun Wen also chanted.

Seeing that Chen Shuren seemed to have no impression, Zeng Juan finally stopped playing riddles.

"If you don't know Qin Chenglin, then do you know Qin Baobao?"

"ah?"

"ah?"

Zeng Juan's words not only surprised Chen Shuren, but also Sun Wen's eyes widened.

Qin Baobao, he knows, the actor in "The Tuner"! That beautiful girl who has an affair with Brother Shu!

Wait, Qin Chenglin, Qin Baobao! ?

"Is this... Qin Baobao related to Qin Chenglin?"

Sun Wen spoke in surprise.

Zeng Juan nodded.

"Qin Chenglin is Qin Baobao's father, a single father!"

As soon as Zeng Juan's words came out of his mouth, Sun Wen said "fuck you".

With Li Linfeng's "What are you talking about" expression on his face, Sun Wen suddenly turned his head and looked at Chen Shuren.

"Brother Shu, the boss of Qincheng Pictures is your future father-in-law's property! Why are you hesitating? Ask him for help!"

Li Linfeng suddenly heard the news, and his heart stopped for a beat.

Who is Qin Chenglin? Every time he attends an event in the film and television industry, he sits in the corner, and that person will definitely have a seat in the most conspicuous chair.

The cinema directors he knew could only say one thing at most in front of Qin Chenglin, and that was "Hello, Director Qin."

But what did he just hear? Qin Chenglin is Chen Shuren's future father-in-law?

What is the relationship? What were you struggling with just now?

"What are you talking about? Qin Baobao's father is my father-in-law!"

Chen Shuren glared at Sun Wen.

He has a good relationship with Qin Baobao, but he has no relationship with Qin Chenglin!

The last time he met Qin Chenglin by chance, he met Qin Chenglin at Director Gao's premiere.

But at that time, it seemed that Qin Chenglin didn't have a good attitude toward him.

Judging from the situation at that time, if he approached Qin Chenglin, not to mention increasing the number of films, but not reducing the number of films, it would be considered good.

"What is your relationship with Qin Baobao called father-in-law?"

Sun Wen looked unbelieving, but as soon as he said the words, he saw Chen Shuren staring at him blankly.

After swallowing, Sun Wen didn't dare to tease him anymore.

"What about that? Since he is Qin Baobao's father, it should be okay for you to ask Qin Baobao to talk to you, right?"

Speaking of Qin Baobao, Chen Shuren has not seen each other for a long time. The chat information between the two on WeChat also stopped at the time after the performance of "Chi Ling".

I don’t know what this girl did.

"No, I don't know what she did. She seems to be away from Yangzhou and Qingzhou. She hasn't been contacted for a long time."

Chen Shuren shook his head.

Hearing Chen Shuren's words, Sun Wen sighed sadly.

But then, Zeng Juan's voice rang again.

"I said Qin Chenglin, one reason is that you know his daughter, and the other reason is because I heard that he had a good impression of your previous two short films."

"If you really want to rush into the Spring Festival stalls, you might as well show him "Crazy Stone", maybe you'll have a chance."

"Well... I heard that director Gao Nanhua has no films to be released during the Spring Festival. You can ask him to connect you and strike up a conversation."

After Zeng Juan finished speaking, she looked at Chen Shuren quietly.

She had already told Chen Shuren all the ways she could think of. It was up to Chen Shuren himself whether he wanted to do it or not.

Chen Shuren was silent for a while, then nodded.

"Okay, I'll contact Director Gao and ask him to convey my message."

Chen Shuren thought for a while and decided to give it a try.

If you don’t try, there is no chance at all. If you try, you will have no regrets whether it works or not.

So Chen Shuren made a call to Gao Nanhua in front of several people.

After a few minutes, the phone hung up.

"How to say?"

Sun Wen asked.

"Director Gao said it's okay, but..." Chen Shuren couldn't laugh or cry, "But Director Gao wants to see our film in advance. This should be okay, right?"

"What's the problem? Are you worried that Director Gao will leak your film?"

Sun Wen rolled his eyes.

It is really rare for a person like Gao Nanhua to be willing to watch other directors' movies first. What's more, with Gao Nanhua's status, how could he do such a thing!

"Okay, I'll go find Director Gao tomorrow. Brother Tom, you can ask Sun Wen to make a copy of the film. We'll go and use it tomorrow."

"OK."

Tang Yingcheng, who had been silent all this time, took out his notes.

After hearing about Chen Shuren's relationship with Qin Chenglin, Li Linfeng looked envious.

I'm afraid no one here can understand his mood.

After working in the Yangzhou film and television industry for so long, he was able to get in touch with directors in the billion-dollar club.

He can only look up to directors like Zhang Guofeng and Gao Nanhua who are worth one billion or two billion.

But what about the person in front of me?

He is obviously just from the music industry, but he has more powerful connections than someone from the film and television industry.

Although he knows a lot of people, if he were given the opportunity to trade his connections with Chen Shuren, he would not hesitate!

After watching the movie in the villa, only Chen Shuren and Tang Yingcheng were left.

"Are you okay? I'll go back to the room if you're okay?"

Tang Yingcheng asked.

"It's okay, just take a good rest. This period of time is quite tiring."

Chen Shuren said.

"Okay, then I'm going back to my room, by the way..."

As soon as Tang Yingcheng took two steps, he turned to look at Chen Shuren again.

"Sometimes you can't always wait for other girls to contact you, you have to take the initiative, right?"

After Tang Yingcheng finished speaking, he left quickly.

Chen Shuren asked from behind: "Hey! What do you mean? Don't leave. Please make it clear!"

Bang!

Seeing Tang Yingcheng closing the door, Chen Shucai walked to his room angrily.

Back in the room, sitting on the lazy sofa on the balcony, Chen Shuren thought for a while, took out his mobile phone, and opened Qin Baobao's WeChat.

After hesitating for a moment, he sent a message.

"What are you doing recently? I just finished filming a movie."

One minute, two minutes, five minutes...

Chen Shuren sat on the balcony for an hour and did not wait for a reply.

"I wouldn't have posted it if I had known it earlier. Now it's better. It's not going to be better or worse..."

Noon the next day.

Chen Shuren and Gao Nanhua met in the private room of the retro-style hotel they had met once before.

"Long time no see, Xiao Chen."

Gao Nanhua smiled and invited Chen Shuren to take a seat.

"Long time no see, Director Gao."

After Chen Shuren sat down and saw the empty seat next to Gao Nanhua, he suddenly remembered something.

"Why don't you see Director Zhang this time?"

Not only Chen Shuren knows about the strong relationship between Zhang Guofeng and Gao Nanhua, but everyone in the film and television industry does not know about it.

"He, he's too embarrassed to come, haha."

Later, Gao Nanhua told Chen Shuren the reason why Zhang Guofeng did not arrive.

It turns out that Zhang Guofeng will also release his own movie during the Spring Festival, so I heard that Chen Shuren was also going to be there, and Gao Nanhua had to watch the movie in advance. Even if he wanted to join in the fun, he was too embarrassed to come. After all, he still had to avoid suspicion.

"Director Zhang... there's no need to avoid suspicion like this. Our small production doesn't have so many rules."

Chen Shuren was a little dumbfounded.

"Hey! The small production is also your hard work. At this point, Lao Zhang still has professional ethics. If I didn't have a movie to release during the Spring Festival, I wouldn't have asked to watch the movie in advance."

Gao Nanhua smiled.

After the two chatted for a while, Chen Shuren asked Tang Yingcheng to show a movie.

Upon seeing this, Gao Nanhua's assistant had already pressed the switch to close the curtains to create a suitable environment for watching movies in the room.

"Crazy Stone?"

Gao Nanhua glanced at the name, muttered something, and then entered the main film.

At the beginning, Gao Nanhua had a smile on his face.

He is still very optimistic about Chen Shuren's ability to write notebooks.

But there is a difference between big movies and micro movies. Being able to grasp the rhythm of a 40-minute film may not necessarily be able to grasp the rhythm of a 90-minute film.

So Gao Nanhua came to see it with the intention of giving guidance.

But as the video plays bit by bit, the story gradually emerges.

Multiple clues, multiple perspectives, repeated narratives...

It is obviously a simple story, but it uses an interlocking narrative form to gradually push the story to a climax in the flashes and crossovers of plots.

This is the highlight of Gao Nanhua’s shooting techniques.

But this movie is more than just that.

Almost every character with an important role left a deep impression on him, and the social identity they represented made him think deeply.

The entire film is less than 100 minutes, but during the entire process, except for the laughter of Assistant Gao Nanhua, no sound can be heard.

The screening ended and Gao Nanhua closed his eyes.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, then looked at Chen Shuren and said, "It's right that Lao Zhang didn't come. If he sees this, I'm afraid he won't be able to sleep well before the Spring Festival."

After finishing speaking, Gao Nanhua continued: "Do you want Qincheng Pictures to increase your movie scheduling rate?"

Chen Shuren nodded.

Gao Nanhua picked up a cigarette, lit it, and took a few puffs.

"Originally, I was thinking of just handing the movie tray to Director Qin, but after watching it, I thought I'd better help you with it. It would be a pity if this movie only had a few minor touches."

Chen Shuren's eyes lit up when he heard Gao Nanhua say this.

"Thank you very much, Director Gao."

Chen Shuren was not polite. Gao Nanhua helped him. He just had to remember it. There would always be a chance to return the favor in the future.

"Don't be happy yet. I'll go and be with you. At most, it will only make Director Qin pay more attention to it. As for whether the film arrangement can be improved and how much it can be improved, it still depends on Director Qin's wishes."

Chen Shuren nodded.

"I understand, no matter what happens with Director Qin, I will keep this favor from Director Gao in mind."

Hearing what Chen Shuren said, Gao Nanhua smiled.

"You, okay, then I'll call and ask now."

After taking the phone from the assistant, Gao Nanhua called Qin Chenglin.

After a while of greetings, Gao Nanhua hung up the phone with a strange expression.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Shuren asked curiously when he saw Gao Nanhua's expression.

"Do you know Director Qin?"

"Uh... we know each other, we met once."

Chen Shuren thought for a while and said.

"That's strange." Gao Nanhua murmured, "Director Qin asked you to go with me."

"I am coming too?"

Chen Shuren pointed at himself, and suddenly thought of Qin Chenglin's sharp eyes when he saw him last time.

After a moment of silence, Chen Shuren nodded and said, "Then let's go together."

Although he didn't know what was waiting for him, he had already reached this point, how could he back down?

…

A high-end villa area in Yangzhou.

Qin Chenglin put down the phone.

Thinking of what Gao Nanhua said just now, a smile appeared on his face.

"It's delivered to my door. Well, I want to see what you will choose!"
