Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 802: Sharp Eyes
The matter was settled smoothly.
Liu Taofang signed Sheng Tang and secured sixty million in funding, providing ample capital for pre-production and immediately kickstarting the project.
Although he was the producer and should be at the helm, Sheng Tang held him in high regard and had utmost confidence in him, so he was willing to listen to Sheng Tang’s opinions.
Therefore, from the selection of the director to other main and supporting characters, he sought Sheng Tang’s input.
"How about Chen Zhi?" Liu Taofang asked Sheng Tang. "He’s directed several biographical films that didn’t lose money. Last year, he directed a commercial film which performed well."
"I’ll take a look at his films first," Sheng Tang said.
She watched Chen Zhi’s biographical and commercial films together with Liu Taofang for an hour and felt very satisfied.
"Pretty good, his style is indeed warm and bright, Brother Liu, you have a good eye," Sheng Tang said.
Liu Taofang became completely radiant.
Honestly, although he was quite conceited, he had indeed been downcast recently. His confidence was already overflowing, and with Sheng Tang’s support, he felt even more full of himself.
A confident producer can maximize his strength.
Choosing a good director is the first step.
Sheng Tang soon met Director Chen Zhi.
Chen Zhi admired her quite a bit, nodding with a smile and said, "I know Mr. Sheng’s acting is superb, even newly debuted it was already praised by everyone. However, Yan Zi is a girl with polio which causes inconvenience to her legs and feet. Has Mr. Sheng researched this kind of character?"
The original name of the female lead in "The Genius Girl" was "Yan Ruyu," a very tacky name which she herself minded a lot.
Her parents changed her name to Yan Zi when she was in high school to show their compassion.
The name change here reflects the warmth of her family.
"I’ve done a bit of research," Sheng Tang replied. "Yan Zi’s legs and feet are very inconvenient, her left leg is five centimeters shorter than her right. To better balance her walk, her right leg also needs to bend."
She tried walking a few steps.
After observing, the director found her portrayal quite authentic and felt satisfied.
After passing the director’s test, the selection of other roles followed.
Besides the female lead, there were four main characters, all teammates of the female lead, also Yan Zi’s classmates.
During the actor selection, Sheng Tang actively avoided interference.
She didn’t want to be annoying by involving herself in everything.
In Sheng Tang’s view, with a qualified screenplay and an excellent director, she had already won the bet on this film.
As for other actors, she trusted the director’s judgment.
Half a month later, the crew of "The Genius Girl" was well-prepared.
The director and producer together hired two biology professors and two biology graduate students from S University at high salaries to make the final revisions to their screenplay.
The dialogues related to biology were revised.
"Autophagy" is also a direction of their research, and since they are the best experts nationwide, it’s very convincing.
The revised screenplay was also shown to Sheng Tang.
Sheng Tang had read this film before and remembered the dialogues vividly; her memory itself was astonishing.
She also recalled that the online reviews had pointed out several errors in their dialogues. However, when those errors were corrected, she had only skimmed through them casually and didn’t remember much.
She also planned to mention this matter to Liu Taofang once the crew preparation was over. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Unexpectedly, Liu Taofang had already handled it.
The modifications made were exactly where the dialogues in the movie from Sheng Tang’s past life went wrong.
She nodded with satisfaction, "Very professional!"
Once everything was prepared, the actors and the director began the screenplay seminar.
Busy until mid-November, all preparations were completed, and the movie officially began filming.
Until the filming day, many people only knew that Sheng Tang’s new film was this one.
Ke Fei helped Sheng Tang secure the company’s promotional funds and issued a press release; Liu Taofang was also widely promoting the film.
This incident immediately drew attention from the media, industry, and fans, causing Sheng Tang’s private phone to suddenly be overwhelmed with calls.
She was somewhat at a loss, not knowing which nerve of hers had been touched.
The first call she received was from Zheng Weiwei.
