The man of scumbag Gulnazar
Chapter 26 Visiting the Mountain Eagle
Extremely depressed, Qin Tian returned home with heavy steps. Not long after, Nazha also returned home.
Seeing Qin Tian's gloomy face, Naza asked with concern, "Little Tian! What's wrong? You look unhappy. Did something bother you at school?"
Looking at Nazana's worried expression, Qin Tian became even more certain that she was practically raising a son! The thought made his chest ache.
"Miss, what would you do if someone pursued me?" Qin Tian asked tentatively.
"Pursuing you? That just proves I have excellent taste!" Naza replied with a smile.
"I'm serious, sister," Qin Tian said with a solemn expression.
“I’m serious, Xiaotian. You’re so outstanding, you must have a lot of admirers, and there will be even more in the future. I believe in you. Even if you’re just playing around sometimes, you still love me the most. A man should have a career, and I’ll be your supportive wife, I’ll never hold you back.” Naza said earnestly, but inwardly she cursed, “You little vixen, don’t let me find out who you are, or you’ll be sorry!”
On the other hand, Qin Tian was even more depressed at this moment, thinking: Being outstanding is also a sin!
The welcome party quickly came to a close, with the songs receiving rave reviews and the skit winning thunderous applause. During rehearsals, Qin Tian spent every day with Meng, and there weren't any major problems. However, she didn't have any particularly outstanding qualities either, except for her sincerity. This sincerity touched Qin Tian somewhat, to the point that he often wondered if he was a jerk.
Actually, after several tests and entanglements, Meng Ziyi already knew that Qin Tian and Nazha were a couple. "Hmph, you bitch, I can't handle you!" Meng Ziyi thought to herself.
Before long, a month had passed, and nothing major had happened. Naza started frequently looking for Qin Tian, and Meng also often came to see him; the two even bumped into each other a few times.
"Brother Qin Tian, oh my, Sister Nazha, you're here too!" Meng Ziyi said, feigning surprise.
"Oh, this must be Ziyi, right? I've heard Xiaomu mention you before. Xiaotian is really something, getting to know such a pretty girl right after starting school." Naza responded politely on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking: I've known Qin Tian for a long time, so you little brat shouldn't bother with this.
"No one is as pretty as you, sister. Your skin is so good. I really envy Brother Qin Tian. He met a senior girl as soon as he entered university." Meng Ziyi retorted, not to be outdone, but secretly she was thinking: Old woman, you're about to graduate, what are you arguing with a young girl like me for?
Qin Tian, who was listening from the side, was dumbfounded and thought to himself: Are female Onmyoji skills innate? How can they learn them without a teacher?
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, and the confrontation between the two was about to erupt.
However, the students in the literature department were very envious of Qin Tian, as he could see beautiful girls of school beauty caliber every day, which was truly a feast for the eyes.
After returning home, Naza said to Qin Tian, "Little Tian, you're really quite popular at school."
"Sister, please stop joking. I can't control my charm either," Qin Tian replied helplessly.
"Hmph, I won't make a fuss. She's just a little brat, nothing to be afraid of. I'm going to start filming soon, so you have to think about me every day and call me every day. Xiao Tian, I like you more and more." Naza said coquettishly.
Forget it, I'm not going to explain anymore. The more I explain, the more confusing it becomes.
Two days later, Nazha had already joined the cast of "The Breakup Guru." Meanwhile, Qin Tian took the script for "Goodbye Mr. Loser" to actor He Liang.
"Teacher He, could you please take a look at this script I just finished working on? Could you give me some pointers? This script is adapted from a Happy Twist stage play I watched," Qin Tian said expectantly.
Teacher He is very knowledgeable about comedy. After reading it, he said, "Your script has great potential, but the subject matter has a small problem. It's a bit too chauvinistic and might get criticized, especially by some women." Teacher He really hit the nail on the head.
In her past life, Charlotte's troubles stemmed from this very flaw. However, in the early stages, no one paid attention to him, and no one made a move against him. But when people started to pay attention later on, the word-of-mouth publicity became unstoppable.
"Teacher He, I've also noticed this problem, but it's difficult to fix. If I change it, it loses its drama. I was thinking, could you help me revise it, and then find two big companies to back us up? Wouldn't that make things easier to handle in terms of public opinion?"
"You're just using Xiang Zhuang's sword dance as a pretext to attack Liu Bang. Come, come, I'll take you to find Director Su."
Director Su is the head of the Literature Department, which has produced many big names and behind-the-scenes figures. They are often seen on the judging panels of award ceremonies held by various national institutions, and even in the often-criticized censorship departments of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. Therefore, as long as Qin Tian maintains good relationships with the professors in the department, his network of connections is practically guaranteed.
Upon hearing Qin Tianlai's question, Director Su asked, "How much is the estimated investment for this drama?"
Qin Tian answered truthfully: "It's about 20 million. I'll invest half of it myself, and Happy Twist will also invest some. That's what we agreed on when we signed the contract."
"You're going to invest it yourself?" Teacher He and Director Su were both quite surprised. Although they knew Qin Tian was rich, they didn't expect him to have this idea.
"Director Su, I not only want to invest, but I also want to learn how to be a producer. The reason I approached China Film Group is twofold: first, I want them to help with distribution, and second, I want them to find me a producer so I can work as an assistant producer and learn from them," Qin Tian said.
"Good lad, I agree to this. Get your documents ready, and I'll take you to see Chairman Han tomorrow." Director Su slapped his thigh, and the matter was settled.
Qin Tian felt like a roc soaring into the sky, riding the wind for ninety thousand miles. He laughed so hard he almost lifted the roof off.
Back home, Qin Tian contacted Nazar and told her that the movie was all settled, and not to forget the release date set for 14. Qin Tian kept thinking about what big thing might happen in 14, but he just couldn't remember.
The next morning, Qin Tian prepared the materials and waited at China Film Group for Director Su to introduce him.
Upon meeting Chairman Han, Qin Tian briefly explained the situation and then handed the documents to Chairman Han.
Chairman Han glanced at the thickness of the documents and asked, "So much?"
"Chairman Han, one is the script, and the other is the camera movement sketch."
"There's also a storyboard?" Chairman Han's interest was immediately piqued. After all, storyboarding was the director's job.
After reading the script and storyboard, Chairman Han was quite impressed with Qin Tian. He truly was a creative genius; even his foray into screenwriting was incredibly successful (if Qin Tian knew what Chairman Han thought, he'd definitely retort: "My profession is screenwriting now, what kind of foray is this!").
Then, Chairman Han looked at Qin Tian and asked, "Are you preparing all this so you can direct it yourself? This story isn't difficult; you can try filming it."
"No, Mr. Han. I've never studied directing; I'm still a freshman in college. I don't have that skill. I want to be a producer and produce my own shows."
Then, Qin Tian continued, "This story is adapted from a Happy Twist stage play, which has been running for a year and has received widespread acclaim from audiences. Moreover, the time-travel element is very popular in the online novel community, coupled with the underdog-to-hero trope. With these elements combined, the audience will definitely be very broad. Add to that the interludes and theme song I wrote, and it'll be simply unbeatable!"
"Regarding the actors, I promised Happy Twist that I would give them priority in casting. I plan to cast Shen Teng for the role of Xia Luo. His performances on the Spring Festival Gala over the past few years have earned him a lot of fame. This way, the cost is low, the filming difficulty is low, there are few actors and scenes, there are still gimmicks, it is deeply moving, and the audience is dense, which is convenient for promotion."
"Our show is sure to be profitable!" Qin Tian finally said.
"You seem quite confident in your song. Good, I agree with all the points you made. I've known Lao Su for so many years, and since he brought his junior here, I have to lend a hand no matter what. I see your budget is around 20 million, so how about this: bring the cost to 30 million. I've heard about your situation from Lao Su. You'll be the screenwriter and producer, taking 10 million for half the shares; Happy Twist will take 10 million for a quarter; and China Film Group will take 5 million plus distribution for a quarter. If Happy Twist doesn't agree to their share, I'll take it!"
"Thank you, senior!" Qin Tian quickly expressed his gratitude. Chairman Han was definitely taking good care of him; what new producer and screenwriter could be worth five million?!
"You'll be the producer, just think of yourself as a co-producer. I'll find you a reliable producer to help you."
After thanking Chairman Han and Director Su profusely, Qin Tian left to contact Happy Twist. After communicating with them, their boss immediately agreed. The hardest part of this industry is getting started; with Qin Tian guiding them, they were practically halfway there. Now, even getting in requires a premium!
This demonstrates the strength of professional educational institutions! Otherwise, even if you beg and plead for investors, you won't find anyone. Even if you have the money to issue a product, it's still a problem! You'll have to pay protection money!
The director was still the stage director, Yan Feipeng Damu. Shen Teng and Ma Li came to thank Qin Tian specifically after learning that he had recommended them for the lead roles. Wang Ning played Xia Luo in the stage play, but Shen Teng was cast in the film, a decision Qin Tian had made. So they came to thank this younger man who was so much younger than them. How can the difference between people be so vast!
The second female lead, Qin Tian, initially didn't say it was Naza, wanting to ask the director if he had any recommendations. "President Lin, I think Yang Mi would be very suitable."
"Goodbye!" Qin Tian muttered to himself: I don't even know if she's suitable! The key question is, can you even get her? Where would we get the budget to have Yang Xiaohu supporting Shen Teng and Ma Li? It's hard to say what will happen in the future, but at least it's impossible now.
In the end, Qin Tian directly mentioned Nazha's name. Yan Fei wasn't actually very optimistic about Nazha, mainly because her figure was a bit lacking. However, it wasn't important and wouldn't have much impact; he'd listen to the investors.
The script and storyboard were given to the director so he could prepare for location scouting and other related work. Furthermore, Qin Tian had to invite all the judges and actors from "The Voice of China"; otherwise, Happy Twist would never be able to invite a single person. Qin Tian himself would play the role of Zhou Yinchai (Zhou's milk tea). Filming was scheduled for the second half of 14.
As for directing? Qin Tian had never even considered it. He didn't have the ability, so he'd rather not embarrass himself. Besides, a director could only make two or three movies a year at most, and that would require working non-stop all year. A producer could make three movies simultaneously, and even nine a year if they worked themselves to the bone! Why bother? He could just become famous by singing! He could promote his own woman!
