Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 356: Script [Reset]

In the film and television industry, what is lacking is never an excellent script or an actor of the caliber of an emperor, but rather funding.

After all, this industry is too risky, and even the best script will usually see a company rope in a lot of capital for investment, to prevent a scenario where they lose everything.

Therefore, Chen Yiyang, who is generous and willing to spend money, has become someone everyone in the industry wants to associate with.

"The reason I came over this time is to hope Afternoon Sunshine can help me produce a drama," Chen Yiyang stated his intention to Hou Liang and Kong Sheng.

"Can I take a look at the script? Who do you want for the actors?" Hou Liang immediately asked.

His greatest hope was to get funding from Chen Yiyang to shoot the film they wanted to make themselves.

But since Chen Yiyang made a request, they wanted to first see if the project was reliable.

"There’s no script, nor are there any actors decided," Chen Yiyang shrugged and said decisively, "The theme is the main melody of poverty alleviation in the Northwest, you write the script yourself, and decide on the main actors. At most, I’ll throw in two or three supporting roles."

The artists Chen Yiyang currently has signed, Pan Yuming just finished filming The Longest Day In Chang’an and is now shooting White Night Chasing Killer, no time.

Gao Ye’s face has nothing to do with such main melody dramas at all. Even if the acting skills are up to par, they could play a major role, but it won’t help their future development.

As for Song Xi and Yang Jinlu...

What Chen Yiyang thought was to have them play a small supporting role to brush up their resumes.

If they perform well, they can naturally earn some credit, if not, no one would care.

If these two were to be given important roles and messed it up, it would definitely result in ridicule from the whole internet, which would instead be detrimental to their development.

So now, Chen Yiyang’s demand is that Afternoon Sunshine can film this main melody drama with quality and quantity assured, as for the script and actors, he doesn’t want to interfere at all.

Chen Yiyang’s words left Hou Liang and Kong Sheng stunned.

Well, well.

The golden benefactor of the entertainment circle is true to their reputation.

No script yet, actors undecided, but as much money as needed will be provided.

They’re essentially paying them to practice.

"This main melody drama is a task I received from above, and I have only one requirement: there must be no mistakes in quality. As for the investment, you don’t need to worry, I can cover it all."

"Let’s discuss a little bit." Hou Liang pulled Kong Sheng to have a small meeting outside.

They came back in just a bit over ten minutes.

"We can take on this main melody drama, and to show sincerity, Afternoon Sunshine is also willing to contribute a portion of the investment."

"Then there’s no problem," Chen Yiyang patted the table, "You two really do give me face."

"However, we also have a small request," Hou Liang suddenly spoke.

"Go ahead," Chen Yiyang motioned for Hou Liang to speak his mind.

"As everyone knows, Afternoon Sunshine prefers to shoot serious dramas. But actually, for the company’s future development plan, we don’t only want to shoot serious dramas and not shoot other types of series, it’s just that there has been no good script.

In fact, we want to shoot some series that the younger audience loves. Not long ago we bought the rights to a novel, intending to adapt it into a drama.

But this script has encountered some difficulties in attracting investment, because this is the first time Afternoon Sunshine is venturing into this area, so a lot of investors are not very confident about it."

Hou Liang was not entirely truthful.

As a mature team, Afternoon Sunshine, could easily get investment for youth-favorite series, let alone children’s shows.

But because Afternoon Sunshine’s shows, although generally have good ratings, the profits are very low.

Investors, therefore, hope to exchange by investing, to put their artists into Afternoon Sunshine’s other important TV series.

Which Afternoon Sunshine finds hard to accept, so they hope to find a new investor.

However, Chen Yiyang did not mind this, he was just very curious about the content of the novel Afternoon Sunshine bought the rights to.

After all, a script that captures Afternoon Sunshine’s attention shouldn’t be of bad quality.

Therefore, Chen Yiyang expressed his wish to see the script.

Hou Liang also did not hide, directly handing over all the completed scripts to Chen Yiyang.

Chen Yiyang took the script and started to flip through it.

Next to him, Gong Fan was also very curious, and leaned over beside Chen Yiyang to look as well.

The story in the script wasn’t long, and Chen Yiyang and Gong Fan quickly finished reading it.

This script is indeed quite interesting, titled "Reset", the content tells the story of a male office worker and a female college student trapped in a time loop on a bus.

Every time it reaches a certain point, the bus would explode, killing all passengers and the driver on board.

To prevent this tragedy from happening, the two start to collaborate and try to uncover the hidden truth behind the bus explosion.

"This script is great," After reading, Chen Yiyang really liked it.

Then he asked again, "Have the actors been decided?"

"Not yet, but this script demands very high acting skills from the male and female leads. We hope to find some capable actors," Hou Liang cautiously stated his requirement.

Afternoon Sunshine doesn’t want to randomly insert actors for the capital, resulting in a collapse of reputation.

Capital can recommend actors, but the acting skills must be up to par.

Hearing Hou Liang say this, Chen Yiyang immediately dismissed the idea of recommending actors.

Song Xi and Yang Jinlu are out of the question, their acting skills are certainly not up to standard.

Pan Yuming and Gao Ye do have acting skills, but their age does not fit. These two are in the age range of uncle and aunty, playing a newly graduated office worker and a female college student would indeed insult the audience’s intelligence.

Just then, next to him, Gong Fan suddenly tugged on Chen Yiyang’s sleeve.

"What’s up?" Chen Yiyang looked at Gong Fan.

"I have an actor I could recommend," Gong Fan said in a low voice.

"Please wait a moment, I have something to discuss with Director Gong," Hearing this from Gong Fan, Chen Yiyang knew it might not just be a simple actor recommendation.

He thus asked Hou Liang and Kong Sheng to wait a moment, and he took Gong Fan out of the meeting room, finding a quiet corner to chat.

"Do you remember the little girl from my movie The Wandering Earth 1?"

"Of course, she acted very well." When Chen Yiyang invested in Gong Fan’s The Wandering Earth 1, the film had already been shot, they were just looking for some special effects funding.

Thus, it was only after the film’s release that Chen Yiyang got to know several of the main actors in The Wandering Earth 1.

Wu Jing goes without saying, he was coaxed into it by Gong Fan.

The other two actors, the male actor had formal training and was selected through open auditions.

And there was a female actor, she was just a middle school girl at the time of filming.

"The little girl I want to recommend is her," Gong Fan said, "Her name is Zhao Jinmai, she just turned sixteen recently, and she sent me a message hoping I could wish her a happy sixteenth birthday."
