Entertainment: Opening confession to all the female students in the class

After about half an hour.

With a smile, Chen Donglai took a bunch of keys from Wu Haitian's hand, and then naturally said the polite words about coming to visit another day.

Naturally, Wu Haitian also nodded with a smile, saying that he can come to him again at any time if there is any difficulty, and the school will definitely fully support the students' career of filming.

Walk out of Luying's school gate.

Zhou Mingru finally couldn't hold back anymore, he looked for Chen Donglai and said, "I don't understand!"

"Can't figure out what?"

Chen Donglai asked back.

"I don't understand that Principal Wu is also the vice-principal of a university college after all, how could he value the things you gave him?"

Zhou Mingru couldn't figure it out.

In his opinion, people who have reached the level of the vice president of the University College must receive countless gifts on weekdays. How could they look at the two ordinary Chinese cigarettes presented by Chen Donglai.

"Old Zhou, I didn't give Principal Wu anything!"

Chen Donglai rolled his eyes and said with a smile.

Zhou Mingru turned his old face away, and said angrily, "There's no need to act in front of me, right?"

"Old Zhou, it seems that you don't understand!"

Chen Donglai looked at Zhou Mingru and shook his head pretending to be disappointed.

"Stinky boy, don't pretend, tell me what's going on?"

Zhou Mingru gradually lost his patience.

Seeing this, Chen Donglai immediately smiled and said, "Old Zhou, this gift is just a small thought. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it is expensive or not. The important thing is that the person who gave the gift is you!"

"So what if it's me?"

Zhou Mingru frowned and said, "I don't know him!"

"I don't know you, but you know me after going around like this. You are a well-known director from Kyoto TV station!"

Chen Donglai said with a full face of resentment.

He didn't expect that Zhou Mingru, who had lived to this age, was still not familiar with the ways of the world.

Zhou Mingru was slightly taken aback when he heard Chen Donglai's words.

After a while, he suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Chen Donglai angrily.

"Are you selling me?"

Yes, Zhou Mingru is not stupid.

Chen Donglai came to this point, and he figured it out after a little brainstorming.

I dare say that Principal Wu had such a good chat with them not because of the little gift from Chen Donglai.

But it was purely for making friends with him.

Chen Donglai also smiled without saying a word.

Zhou Mingru shook his head, secretly lamenting that Chen Donglai really couldn't be judged by his age and appearance.

You know, that principal Wu lent them the entire old campus to be planned, and he hasn't charged a penny yet.

It is estimated that even if he is allowed to talk, this condition will not be met.

"Then when will we start recruiting group actors? There are many medium and large-scale scenes in this movie, and there will be many people who will be used!" Zhou Mingru asked again.

"Let's start tomorrow morning, you can just look at the arrangement for details!"

Chen Donglai really didn't have any experience in recruiting actors for this type of studio.

"Okay, then let's take a look at the old campus first, and we can discuss the rest when we go back!"

"Ok!"

……

A noon time.

Chen Donglai and Zhou Mingru finished shopping around the old campus that President Wu said was waiting to be planned. The old campus was indeed a bit old, but it just met their needs for filming.

They are very satisfied with the venue.

Originally, they planned to go back to discuss the shooting, but since the venue was right in front of them, they also made a rough plan on the venue.

For example, which storyboard to start shooting from, and how many extras to use.

Chen Donglai didn't have any ideas about these things, and basically he listened to Zhou Mingru's opinions.

He only has one requirement, that is, to save as much as possible without affecting the quality of the movie.

Zhou Mingru also had no objection to this request.

And, he also made a suggestion.

"Mr. Chen, you see, only two advertising sponsors of our movies are sold out. Generally, for movies with an investment of more than tens of millions, there will be no less than five advertising sponsors, or even more. If you can't find one who is willing to invest in us We can properly give up the advertising space and solve some shooting problems!"

Zhou Mingru reminded.

Regarding the advertising investment of their movie, he remembered that he also contacted many brand owners when he was in Kyoto, but there was no movement.

In his impression, the advertising investment of a movie should be very important. Most of the movies are even made by relying on the advertising investment. For example, Chen Donglai had such capital as Tianhong from the beginning. There are only a handful of top companies willing to invest.

If there is no shortage of money, then these capital-level investments are enough.

However, the problem now is that their crews and movies are short of money, and they are very short of money.

So at this time, you have to seriously consider the advertising investment again.

When Chen Donglai heard it, his eyes lit up.

This is a good idea. It just so happens that some venues and props are not cheap. If you can get a little advertising sponsorship fee, it will definitely be bloody money!

"Do you have any suitable recommendations?"

Chen Dong looked at Zhou Mingru and asked.

Zhou Mingru seemed to be well prepared, took out his mobile phone and opened an album list, saying: "I have stayed in these hotels when I came to Lujiang last time, and they all meet the requirements of our film shooting, and then there is clothing. A few local Lujiang brands..."

"It seems...all are good!"

Chen Donglai's eyes lit up.

Ever since, this afternoon, they got busy again.

Zhou Mingru was responsible for arranging the detailed shooting plan, contacting the local group leaders in Lujiang, recruiting group performers, and communicating well with the actors and photography team.

And Chen Donglai went to a few hotels that might be sponsored, as well as a dozen local brand owners in Lujiang.

The ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel.

When he visited the first hotel in Wuyuan Water Village, he had just met the so-called manager in charge, and he was decisively rejected.

The manager saw Chen Donglai and heard about his intentions, so he said with a superior face: "Our Wuyuan Water Village is the top hotel in Lujiang, and we have also invited the popular artist Chen Xukun to promote it, and have appeared on several TV shows. , there is no need to sponsor some unknown film to promote it, if you need to rent a location for filming, please make an appointment in advance!"

"Okay, excuse me!"

Regarding this, Chen Donglai could only express his trouble.

As for the Chen Xukun mentioned by the manager, he also knew him.

When he was in Yongxing, this Chen Xukun wanted to transform from a traffic artist to a singer, and asked him to sing a song, but he refused, and even caused a lot of unhappiness.

Under the contemptuous gaze of the manager, Chen Donglai walked out of the hotel.

He didn't explain anything to the manager.

Because the sense of superiority that came from nowhere on his face has already shown that it would be a waste of time to do meaningless things to tell him one more word.

This hotel in Wuyuan Water Town itself is the number one existence on the list of Lujiang hotels.

They refused, which can be regarded as excusable.

Taking chances, Chen Donglai started to visit the remaining six hotels,

However, the cruel reality is that it will not show mercy to you just because you fail once.

According to the principle of the closest distance, Chen Donglai visited five more hotels in a row, and the results were all similar to Wuyuan Water Town.

Yes, it must be mentioned that Lujiang, as a tourist city, has fierce competition from these big hotels.

Among these five hotels, four have been on TV shows, and the cost of publicity and distribution is not much lower than that of Wuyuan Water Town.

When he heard that Chen Donglai was looking for investment sponsorship, he almost refused.

Although Chen Donglai has a reputation, in their opinion, he is obviously not worthy of promoting their hotel.

For this, Chen Donglai was also very helpless.

He looked at the last hotel he hadn't visited yet that was screened out on his phone.

Peony Famous Hotel.

This hotel ranks second on the list of Lujiang hotels.

Not surprisingly, it should still be rejected.

Chen Donglai hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to go there.

If you have hope, you can't give up. This is his principle of doing things.

Walk into the hotel gate of Peony Famous House.

This is a hotel similar in decoration and style to the first Wuyuan Water Town, with high-end luxury and great visual impact.

Chen Donglai explained his purpose to the front desk of the hotel.

Then the little girl at the front desk helped pass a message.

Then, about half an hour passed.

"Mr. Chen, the general manager of our hotel is in a meeting. He asked me to invite you to the VIP room for tea and rest. I will come over to talk to you in about 10 minutes!"

The girl at the front desk looked at Chen Donglai with some surprise in her eyes, and said very politely.

"okay!"

Chen Donglai nodded, feeling a little strange.

Why is this hotel different from the ones I went to before?

Before, the front desk called the manager in charge and asked him to wait in the lobby.

But when he got here, he actually wanted to invite him to the VIP room, and even said he was the general manager.

Chen Donglai thought about it, and immediately asked: "By the way, do you mean that your general manager will come to see me in person later?"

"Yes, that's what it said on the phone!"

The girl at the front desk said very politely.

Chen Donglai nodded thoughtfully.

He felt that this situation was a bit unexpected.

Even if they have the intention of investing in publicity, they shouldn't be so polite, after all, they came here by themselves.
