A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 353 Clouds move in all directions

Wang Yidi sat in Chen Jinnian's office and clicked on the trailer on the computer desktop.

As a quick exam bell rang out from the speakers, the trailer officially began. Accompanied by the tense drum-like BGM, Wang Yidi, completely without makeup, appeared on the computer screen, indicating that she was the undisputed protagonist of the movie.

In the compact editing, the plot of the movie is quickly explained, and the audience is told without any delay that this is a story about cheating. Through Wang Yidi's lines, the male protagonist of the movie is introduced. Through a slow-motion shot, Chen Jinnian officially appears in the movie trailer.

Then a high-energy music sounded, and the rhythm of the trailer became more intense. Wang Yidi got goosebumps. It didn't feel like a feature film at all, but more like a suspenseful spy film.

After reading it, Wang Yidi looked at Chen Jinnian behind him in astonishment.

"Well, the efforts spent on post-production of the film were not in vain."

"Is that really me in the movie? Am I that handsome?" Even though the filming had already been completed, Wang Yidi still couldn't believe it.

"Of course it's you. I made you the veneer heroine in the last movie, so I'm definitely going to make up for it in this one. Let's wait and see. There's no problem with the editing techniques I want to ask about."

Chen Jinnian looked at the system and said confidently, "Don't push the editing ability to the maximum level 5."

His prediction was correct. On the day of the finale, millions of people saw the trailer that was directly cut into the end of episode 15.

"Please, please, please, please, please don't leave."

"High-energy warning."

"The king bomb is about to appear."

"Chen Jinnian and Wang Yidi's trio debut."

……

The overwhelming barrage of comments and the completely submerged screen reminded other viewers that the best was yet to come.

Jiang Yao, who hid in the classroom and looked at her mobile phone at noon, was one of them. Since she was promoted from the first year of high school to the second year, her academic pressure increased instantly. All the teachers were rushing to catch up with the progress. They had to finish teaching all the knowledge of the three years of high school before the end of the second semester of the second year, so as to leave one year in the third year for students to review.

Now, every day after school, she has to attend evening self-study in her bedroom under the supervision of her mother. The only free time she has is probably the morning break and the short time after lunch.

"Jiang Yao, haven't you finished reading it yet?" Her best friend came over and asked.

"Shh." Jiang Yao quickly gestured and turned back to look at the classmates who were resting on the table. "Everyone is sleeping. Please keep your voice down."

She handed over the Bluetooth headset on her left ear and said, "Take a look at this. It's our senior's new movie."

After saying that, the two kids gathered together and continued to watch the trailer for "Bad Genius".

Three minutes later, as the ending credits showed "6.8, we have the final say in this world", the two of them quickly looked at each other. They wanted to see it, they wanted it so badly. Cheating was simply the perfect way to excite students.

The only problem is that it will take another three months to see, which makes people a little impatient.

"Don't you know Senior Chen? Why don't you suggest to him that they arrange a preview screening so we can get a sneak peek."

Jiang Yao rolled her eyes and said, "Don't dream. I haven't seen my brother for a long time. He is so busy now, how can he have time?"

As she spoke, she took screenshots and posted them to her fan group and Weibo. She is now a die-hard fan of Chen Jinnian, but Chen Jinnian never shows up. The only variety show he has appeared in is "Longing".

Now that she has started business, and has released two works in a row, she naturally wants to recommend them to everyone.

At the same time, on the day of the finale of "The Beginning", Penguin Video bought the hot search for breaking 15 billion views. They had to vent all the anger they had suffered in the past years today, and they managed to push the opponent's hot search position away.

Almost at the same time, the topic of "Teacher forbids watching" also began to soar. This hot search was not promoted by any company. It was simply the audience who watched the web drama and pushed up the popularity of "Bad Genius".

It’s popular before it’s aired!

Chen Jinnian's movie instantly became the most anticipated dark horse before the summer season. Judging from the effects of the trailer alone, the quality is surprisingly good, the subject matter is novel, and the audience is precise. In addition, Chen Jinnian is a director who got his start in shooting campus-type films, so no one would think this is a bad movie.

The combination of a talented director and a talented shooter has become the focus of all production companies.

The success of "The Beginning" has already made Chen Jinnian's status in the industry soar, proving that the success of the previous films was not luck. If "Bad Genius" can continue its success, then Chen Jinnian will really be promoted to a first-class domestic commercial film director within two years.

It's outrageous to think that a group of senior directors in their forties and fifties are on equal footing with a twenty-year-old student.

In the afternoon, at Huayi Company’s headquarters, Wang Zhongjun, who was having afternoon tea in the office, called his younger brother Wang Zhonglei in.

"Brother, what do you want to talk to me about? I'm busy discussing business."

Wang Zhonglei walked in hurriedly. He didn't understand why his elder brother wanted to see him specifically, and why he wanted to see him in the company. You know, Wang Zhongjun is not a very dedicated boss. He basically just comes to the company for a look and leaves.

"Let's talk about business. If you were really busy with business, our Huayi wouldn't be so far behind Wanda." Wang Zhongjun is a shrewd man, but facing his younger brother who has always been involved in gossip, he rarely looks unhappy.

There is no female celebrity, third-tier actor, or even internet celebrity who is not involved with him.

After being exposed by his elder brother, Wang Zhonglei maintained his nonchalant attitude. He picked up the tea on the tray and began to drink. "Brother, if you want to scold me, there's no need to call me over. We can just do it over the phone."

Faced with his unyielding brother, Wang Zhongjun shook his head. He had no way to deal with him, so he got straight to the point and talked about business.

"Chen Jinnian, you've met this guy before. Do you think there's a chance of acquiring his company?"

"Brother, you haven't given up your fantasy yet." Wang Zhonglei sneered. He didn't forget what happened during the recording of the variety show.

"It's not a fantasy. We have to sign this person. Among the young directors that China Film Group is looking up to, none of them are deeply tied to Huayi. You can't count on Feng Kuazi, a 60-year-old man, to make anything. The film he's about to shoot, 'Youth', is almost his last decent work."

As the helmsman of Huayi, Wang Zhongjun is very clear about the problems the company is facing. If no new directors are supported and high-grossing movies cannot be produced steadily, it will not be long before the company collapses.

"Didn't Tian Yusheng make a name for himself? I think the box office of the Ex-Boyfriend series is pretty good." Wang Zhonglei said.

"Is it possible that you don't know what's going on? Doesn't China Film know what's going on? I can give up Chen Jinnian, so you can hire Chen Sicheng from Wanda, or Ning Hao."

"How can they be compared?"

"They are now in the same echelon. Do you know that Mr. La from China Film Group has already placed his bet?" Wang Zhonglei slammed the table angrily.

There are no secrets in the film industry. It has long been known that China Film Group Corporation wants to help Chen Jinnian's two films pass the review. Light Media, Shanghai Film Group, Xitian Film Group and other companies have already received the news. Only Wang Zhonglei, who has his mind on other things, is still kept in the dark.
