A great director who grew up happily

Chapter 300 Planning and Preparing the Special Effects Department

In the afternoon, Chen Jinnian returned to his parents' home, hurriedly said "I have something important to do", and locked himself in the bedroom and refused to come out.

Such abnormal behavior made Su Ying very worried. She quietly walked to the door of her son's bedroom, wanting to listen for any unusual movement inside.

"Auntie, it's okay." Wang Yidi walked over, took Su Ying's arm, and pulled her back to the living room. "Just sit on the sofa and watch TV. Jinnian will come out naturally after he finishes his work."

Qiao Yingzi, who was teasing Xiao Xuanyue with a toy, took the lead and asked, "Hasn't the issue of secretly filming and spreading rumors been dealt with yet?"

"That matter has been temporarily handled. A clarification announcement was issued immediately, and all necessary actions, such as reporting to the police and sending a lawyer's letter, have been taken. Plus, he doesn't have any endorsements, so there's actually no loss."

"What's going on with Jinnian now?" Su Ying asked anxiously.

"It's actually about the school. We just came back from school. The dean just informed him of two things. One is about his major. He plans to have him take a drama and film directing major in addition to his acting major. The other is to remind him to lean towards official media and take on commissioned films when necessary."

Wang Yidi knew that the dean's reminder was kind, meaning that it would be good to lean against a big tree for shade.

This situation is the most typical example. If Chen Jinnian was an artist under a capital company, he would not have caused such a big public opinion. He could have simply issued a clarification announcement and asked the group leader to lead the charge and it would have passed.

After all, they can even whitewash a bunch of legal experts, so doing this kind of thing is easy for them.

But Chen Jinnian suffers from the fact that he runs his own company and has no roots in the entertainment industry. When problems arise, he has no channels to speak out. Therefore, at the current stage, actively relying on official media is the best option, and the school's resources also have advantages in this regard.

"Oh, your circle is so complicated. You are still a student and you need to consider these things." Qiao Yingzi sighed, feeling that the halo of the star has been shattered. After stripping away the bright and beautiful surface, it is full of intrigues and despicable things inside.

Perhaps seeing that Qiao Yingzi was unhappy, little Xuanyue in the stroller felt her emotions, raised her hands and squeaked, wanting to cry. This made everyone busy, and they had to quickly pick her up and coax her slowly.

Chen Jinnian was hiding in the bedroom, holding the script in his hand and thinking about the shooting plan.

He actually has a politically oriented film in his hands, which is the micro-film "Presence". As next year is the 90th anniversary of the founding of the army, he plans to release it in three months.

The filming is not difficult, and he can even do it at his own expense, but some historical video materials are very troublesome, and he needs to apply for coordination with his superiors.

The most difficult part was the scene in the film where the quartermaster was frozen to death on the snowy mountain. It was impossible to shoot it in real time, so it could only be processed with CG in post-production. However, at this point in time, the little broken ball had not yet started wandering, and there were not many special effects companies in China that could produce the effect.

If it seems too fake, it’s better not to do it.

After deep thought, Chen Jinnian suddenly had an idea and excitedly slammed his desk. "Oh my god, how could I forget that I have a supercomputer? Using it as a foundation, I can set up my own special effects department."

Thinking of this, Chen Jinnian threw aside the unfinished shooting plan in his hand, rushed out of the bedroom excitedly, and wanted to go back to the company to make arrangements and start his grand undertaking.

"Hey, it's time to eat, what are you going to do?"

As soon as he hurriedly ran across the living room, he was stopped by his mother Su Ying.

"Why are we having dinner before four o'clock? I have something to go to the company for." Chen Jinnian was excited and did not fully understand the spirit of Su Ying's speech. Instead, he ran to the shoe cabinet to change his shoes.

Su Ying stood up angrily, walked behind him and grabbed his ear.

"Mom, it hurts, it hurts, what are you doing?"

"Didn't you hear me clearly? We're going to dinner soon. Why are you still running around outside? Going to the company? What company are you going to? If it weren't for your trouble today, would you still be able to go to work? Go back and sit down."

Su Ying held her waist with one hand and carried Chen Jinnian back to the living room with the other. Her son was now independent and didn't want to come home. Now that he had finally come back, she would not let him go easily.

After pressing Chen Jinnian onto the sofa, he put Xiao Xuanyue in his hands.

"Stay with your sister. She's already a few months old. Your brother has been watching her for a few days."

"When she cried the most, I comforted her a lot." Chen Jinnian said aggrievedly, then looked down at his sister sitting on his lap, feeling a little damp.

"Mom, why are Xiaoyue's clothes wet?"

"Wet?" Su Ying, Wang Yidi and Qiao Yingzi looked over at the same time.

"It's broken. The diaper is leaking. I was wondering why she keeps wanting to cry."

Su Ying quickly bent down, picked her up, and ran to the bathroom with Xuanyue.

Chen Jinnian was wearing a pair of light blue pants today, and you could clearly see a stain on his thigh that shouldn't be there.

"Hahaha, you two are indeed siblings." Wang Yidi covered his mouth and laughed.

"No, what do you think of the child?" he said with a depressed look on his face.

"Retribution, who told you to play with her?"

……

The impact of this weekend's online public opinion will obviously not disappear in a short time. When Chen Jinnian returned to school on Monday, he could clearly feel that others were looking at him strangely.

The boys generally look at him with envy. While he has a real girlfriend, he actually has a lover outside. He is really enjoying the best of both worlds.

As for girls, there are so many meanings in their eyes. If they are all recorded, I can only say that the insults are really dirty.

Chen Jinnian also explained this, saying that he had already clarified everything that needed to be clarified, and there was nothing he could do for those who still didn't believe it. It was impossible for him to spend time talking to each of them one by one, after all, his time was really tight.

After finishing two consecutive classes in the morning, he went to the director's office with the shooting plans for the two plays.

"Ask for leave? You're asking for leave after just two classes?"

"Taking leave is only part of it. I also want to borrow some things." Chen Jinnian rubbed his hands with a smile. There are many good things in the college, props, costumes, and scenery, migrant workers from the photography department, and fresh graduates from the animation and digital college. He can borrow what he needs. It is much cheaper than renting (asking for) things from outside.

"No, you think too highly of me. How can I approve your application? If I had that ability, why would I be a counselor?" Teacher Gao shook his head frantically.

Asking for leave alone is easy, as the higher-ups have already given Chen Jinnian the green light, but the other requests are a bit too much, as he wants both things and people.

It was the first time he had seen someone trying to poach students right after starting school.

"Teacher, please take a look. This micro-film of mine was made for the 90th anniversary of the founding of the army. It has no commercial purpose." He pointed to "Presence" and briefly explained the story.

Teacher Gao read the book very carefully. He knew that China Film Corporation was currently filming "The Founding of an Army". All the actors in the movie were acting for almost no pay, and even popular stars were scrambling to get a chance to appear in the movie. Are they stupid? Of course not, they all knew why.

Teacher Gao was naturally very clear about the value of this short film. "Okay, you go back first. I'll go ask the dean right away."
