A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 386 It’s over

The crew finally had two days off over the weekend, but when Wang Yidi got up, he found Chen Jinnian still lying on the sofa flipping through the script.

"You don't have to work today, so why are you up so early?"

"Brother Meng is after my money. I have to find a job that can pay me quickly." Chen Jinnian said with his head down.

Seeing that his attention was all on the crew, Wang Yidi jumped onto the sofa in dissatisfaction, took the script from him, flipped through it, and found a line of words printed on the cover:

It's Over! I'm Surrounded by Beauties

He was immediately furious and asked hurriedly, "You went to the company every day recently just to write these things."

"I didn't write it, I received it." Chen Jinnian didn't dare to admit it.

He had received this script from the system a long time ago, but it had been sitting in the warehouse gathering dust. It wasn't until last night when Fang Yifan called on them to play PUBG in the group that he realized that Steam had become popular.

"You want to shoot this kind of thing? No, I don't agree. If you dare to act, I will destroy you." Wang Yidi said jealously. Just by looking at the name of the script, you can tell that it is not a serious TV series. It must be the kind of one that is about constant love.

"Actually, this is a real-life interactive video game, and the protagonist is the camera."

Chen Jinnian explained awkwardly, and at the same time reached out to help Wang Yidi turn two pages to show him the character introduction of the script.

Wang Yidi frowned as he read through the video, barely suppressing his inner jealousy. However, he still had some questions: "Why do I think your game violates the rules? You can get a license if you film it, and who would play this kind of game?"

"It's indeed against the rules, so I don't plan to put it on the domestic shelves. Didn't Fang Yifan invite us to play games yesterday? I'm going to sell it on that platform."

Buying games on Steam is actually overseas shopping, so his games are purely exported games and can naturally bypass the domestic version number review. As long as Chen Jinnian does not want to launch the game in China, it doesn't matter whether it is locked in the domestic area or not.

The only thing that needs to be done is to control the scale. The content is pure love, and the final ending is 1V1. If the player chooses to have a harem, it will only trigger a bad ending.

Wang Yidi quickly flipped through the plot. "So, do you want to shoot it yourself, or hire someone to do it for you? You have to think carefully. If you don't do it right, it will be a black mark on your record."

"Well, I have to shoot it myself. It's even more risky to hire someone else. What if they mix in some illicit material and I don't notice it during inspection? That would be a huge problem." Chen Jinnian scratched his head in frustration. "Besides, all the ambitious and capable directors are shooting art films, so I don't like the ones left."

His company does have contracted directors, but they are all very ordinary. They can shoot commercials, but they cannot operate independent projects. After all, Zhou Jiahang, the most outstanding one among them, is only his deputy.

If you want to train new directors, the best way is to do the same as Ning Hao, and implement a young director support program to recruit talents.

But Chen Jinnian's age is not right. When he is 30 years old, the young directors he has trained will all retire, which will be a reverse succession.

Therefore, Chen Jinnian’s company is not only short of a director now, but will also be like this for a long time in the future, and he will have to lead the team to do it himself.

"If you want to shoot, then go ahead, but I have two conditions. First, I want to check on you, and second, I won't act in it." Wang Yidi said with a pout.

"I'm reluctant to let you act in the role even though you want to." Chen Jinnian said, hugging his girlfriend's slender waist.

Wang Yidi's temper got the better of her and she twisted her body proudly, not wanting Chen Jin to touch her. However, under his persistence, she finally gave in and lay in his arms, allowing him to caress her.

"Oh, by the way, Yingzi asked me a few days ago if I wanted to buy the house next door. If I didn't, she would buy it."

"You want to buy another house?" Chen Jinnian asked in surprise. He felt that Wang Yidi had purchased several properties recently.

"Did I buy a lot? The one in Shenzhen is for us to live in when we return home, and the shop is for opening a store. The one we want to buy now is the one we live in now. We just need to open a door in the living room and the two houses will be connected." Wang Yidi said, pointing to the side wall.

Now the room is already full with her things. If they didn’t have a bedroom, there wouldn’t even be enough space for their clothes. So Wang Yidi urgently needs a bigger house.

Chen Jinnian wasn't particularly interested in Beijing's housing. He nodded and said, "If you still want to live in Shuxiang Yayuan, I have no objection." Then he asked with a hint of confusion, "Why would Yingzi want to buy a house?"

"I don't want to live with my parents anymore."

"Could it be that Qiao Weidong and Song Qian remarried? When did this happen?" Chen Jinnian was shocked by Wang Yidi's news. In just half a month, things had developed to such an incredible degree.

"Of course not, Yingzi just made plans early." Wang Yidi pried the big hand from his waist, got up and went to the bathroom to wash up, while urging: "Hurry up, you still have to help Mai Mai with the tutoring class today, you will be late."

Chen Jinnian woke up as if from a dream, quickly stuffed the script into the safe in the bedroom, and rushed to the bathroom to compete with Wang Yidi for a place to wash.

Half an hour later, the two men appeared at the door of Nengcheng Education wearing masks. Nengcheng Education has junior high school and high school departments, and the tuition fees for the junior high school department are not cheaper than those for the high school department.

Because not all students can be admitted to key high schools. If their grades are not good enough, wealthy parents will arrange for their children to enter international middle schools in advance and go abroad for further studies.

However, there are too many unfinished programs and overseas students now, and the international route is not easy to take, and many parents want to go back to the old path of public schools.

When they arrived, Zhao Jinmai and her assistant were already waiting on the roadside. Zhao Jinmai's parents are both teachers and it was impossible for them to accompany her to film, so Chen Jinnian specially arranged an assistant for her.

"Maimai, sorry to have kept you waiting." Wang Yidi hurried over.

"Sister Didi, we just arrived too." Zhao Jinmai took Wang Yidi's hand and looked at the building in front of them. "Is this a school? It's Saturday and there are still so many people in class."

"This isn't a school, this is a cram school," Chen Jinnian explained. "Your sister is a long-time client here. She's been taking cram classes here every week since her second year of high school, for two whole years."

"Aren't you the same?"

"Mine was just an interest class at best. I studied art for two months, but I haven't used it yet. Oh, I should have found out more before the exam." Chen Jinnian shook his head.

It was a matter of fate. I didn't have time to finish the directing exam at that time. Maybe it was just a coincidence.

"Brother, what exam did you take?" Zhao Jinmai asked curiously.

"Haha, stop asking questions and go in quickly to enroll you in a class." Chen Jinnian took the lead and walked in front.

But Wang Yidi quietly debunked her plan, "What other exam could it be? A failed student from the directing department of the Beijing Film Academy."

Chen Jinnian's mouth twitched involuntarily when he heard this. It was over. He couldn't take off this hat.
