Chapter 468 Is it reasonable to ask for sick leave?(3/3)

Purely in terms of income, Lin Chaoyang's income is enough to dwarf most writers in Hong Kong.

After returning to Yanjing from Xiangjiang, Zhang Guiqin did not recognize the unfamiliar face of A Di as soon as she entered the house. Lin Chaoyang explained that she was a hired nanny.

I heard that Adi's monthly salary was 2,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to 700 to 800 yuan. Zhang Guiqin's face was filled with pain.

He pulled Lin Chaoyang and whispered:

"I'll just go and take care of the kids for you. Why are you spending this wasted money?"

"Mom, you should spend the money you make. If you are willing to stay with your grandchildren, you don't have to worry about having a nanny.

With Adi here, you can feel more relaxed."

As a child, Zhang Guiqin knew that she could not convince Lin Chaoyang, so she could only say a few words to herself to reduce her inner reluctance to give up money.

After settling in, Tao Yushu ran to the west courtyard first.

During this time, Zhang Yimou has been living here to study the script, and with him are Mo Yan and Chen Jianyu.

After arriving at the West Campus, Tao Yushu also saw an acquaintance, her old colleague from "People's Literature" Zhu Wei.

After chatting for a while, Tao Yushu learned that Zhu Wei had come to a party last month and had a good chat with Zhang Yimou.

He was also pulled into the screenwriting team.

After all, there are already three people on the screenwriting team of "Red Sorghum".

When there are more people, there are more ideas. The more ideas there are, the more likely it is that problems will arise.

It was Zhang Yimou's first time as a director, and Tao Yushu was really afraid that they would mess up the script.

After she talked with Zhang Yimou, Tao Yushu felt relieved. Zhang Yimou's thinking was still very clear.

Later, Tao Yushu called Chen Kaige home again. During the time when the couple returned to Hong Kong, Chen Kaige had already rewritten the script for "King of Children" and was waiting for Lin Chaoyang's decision.

When Lin Chaoyang was reading the script, Chen Kaige watched his expression from time to time, feeling a little nervous, fearing that Lin Chaoyang would feel bad again.

"It's very well written. Let this be the final version."

Lin Chaoyang's words made Chen Kaige breathe a sigh of relief, and he immediately became happy again.

"Son, can the crew get ready?" Chen Kaige asked Tao Yushu expectantly.

Tao Yushu smiled and said, "Okay."

"Then you and I will audition the actors for the next two days?"

"good."

The investment in "The King of Children" is 1.2 million yuan, with Yindu Institution investing 240,000 yuan, Li Hanxiang's New Kunlun Pictures investing 360,000 yuan, and Lin's Pictures providing the remaining funds.

This investment would be considered a low-budget film in Hong Kong, but in today's China it is a considerable investment. Today, China Film's buyout price for each film of the studio is only 900,000 yuan.

With the funds in place, Chen Kaige was full of high spirits. In just three days, the crew had completed preparations, and even the actors had been finalized.

The reason why it happened so quickly is that Chen Kaige planned to use non-professional actors in the entire film except for the male protagonist.

The male protagonist is his college classmate Xie Yuan, and the rest of the people have to wait until they arrive at the filming location to find him.

The filming location of "King of Children" is set in Yunnan, which is where Ah Cheng went to the countryside and where "King of Children" was filmed.

The initial inspiration was born.

After the crew gathered together, Chen Kaige couldn't wait to leave for Xishuangbanna, Yunnan.

Lin Chaoyang said that he wanted his film to participate in the Berlin Film Festival. There are still five months until next year's Berlin Film Festival, so time is tight and every second counts.

The filming of "The King of Children" was about to start, and Tao Yushu originally planned to go to Yunnan to stay for a few days. After the crew stabilized, he would send someone from the company to supervise Chen Kaige.

In the end, Lin Chaoyang made a damaging move.

, "You hire Lao Chen to come over."

"Old Chen?"

Tao Yushu didn't understand what Lin Chaoyang meant for a while.

My son is making a movie and I am asked to be a supervisor?

They are all members of the same family, so aren't you afraid that father and son will do whatever they want?

Then Tao Yushu thought about it and seemed to understand Lin Chaoyang's intention of doing this.

It is true that Lao Chen is an old fox, but his character is still good.

The most important thing is that this old guy hopes his son will succeed!

Chen Kaige makes a movie. If he is asked to be a producer, would he dare not give his best?

I’m afraid he will also wear many hats, including producer, art consultant, and supreme director————

With a high-level military advisor like Chen Huaikai here, are you still worried that "The King of Children" will not be filmed well?

Tao Yushu thought for a long time and found that Lin Chaoyang's move was indeed a perfect one.

So she happily went to Chen Huaikai's house and proposed to hire him as the producer of "Kid King".

Chen Huaikai was stunned. He thought for a moment and asked Tao Yushu: "Yushu, tell me the truth, whose idea was this?"

"It's my idea!" Tao Yushu said with a determined expression.

Chen Huaikai didn't believe it, "Don't lie to me. No one else except your family can come up with such a harmful idea."

Tao Yushu laughed, and seeing that he couldn't hide it from Chen Huaikai, he admitted that it was Lin Chaoyang's idea, and joked: "No wonder you two are good friends."

No matter what he heard, Chen Huaikai felt that what she said was not a good thing, but these were not important. He was still thinking about Tao Yushu's quotation just now.

5,000 yuan.

Chen Huaikai is a meritorious director of Yan Film Studio, and his salary and benefits have always been high, but when faced with the sky-high price of 5,000 yuan, it was still difficult for him to refuse.

What's more, is this his son's new film?

"What should I do about the work in the factory?" Chen Huaikai asked in a difficult tone.

Chen Huaikai is retired, but he still has a job at Yan Film Factory, but he just doesn't work.

Tao Yushu said easily: "Chaoyang said you would figure it out yourself."

Chen Huaikai cursed secretly, this guy really plotted against him!

It seems that the only option is to take 'sick leave'.

It's almost winter, and my lungs are not feeling well.
Chapter completed!
