Wang Yang looked at Lin Chaoyang sincerely. Lin Chaoyang didn't let him wait too long. After thinking for a few seconds, he said happily: "Okay, ten thousand yuan is ten thousand yuan."

After reaching an agreement with Lin Chaoyang, Wang Yang's face showed joy, but at the same time there was a slight pain in his body.

This is ten thousand yuan!

At this time, Jiang Huaiyan and Chen Huaikai murmured again, "I really followed your words!"

"Lao Wang got enlightened today."

"Eat a pinch and gain wisdom."

Lin Chaoyang saw Wang Yang's thoughts and asked with a smile: "Are you distressed?"

"It's a lie to say you don't feel bad. Ask Huaiyan, how much does the most expensive script in our Yan Film Studio cost?"

Lin Chaoyang looked at Jiang Huaiyan, and Jiang Huaiyan said: "Now everyone's royalties are similar. The highest fee for a feature film is 4,000 yuan."

“You get what you pay for.”

Chen Huaikai interjected at the right time: "That makes sense. Chaoyang's novels have always been popular, and even great directors like Xie Jin and Li Hanxiang value them very much. You can't go wrong with them."

Hearing this, Wang Yang felt a lot better.

"I'll send you another message." Lin Chaoyang said.

Wang Yang cast a curious look at him, "What's the news?"

"Do you know about the Mao Dun Literature Award?"

Wang Yang nodded, "Of course. It's an award established according to Mao Dun's last wish. Ba Jin took the lead and the Literary and Art Association organized it to a very high standard."

"The Chess Master has been shortlisted for the Mao Dun Literature Award."

Lin Chaoyang only said one sentence, but the amount of information was huge.

Wang Yang was not involved in the literary circle and did not understand its meaning, but Jiang Huaiyan was the director of the literary planning department of Yanying Studio, and Chen Huaikai also had contacts with many people in the literary circle. Both of them looked at Lin Chaoyang.

"Chaoyang, have you received the award? Is the news reliable?"

"It's just that I got on the waiting list."

There are many works selected for the Mao Dun Literature Award. A reading class was organized in Xiangshan in March. After half a year of screening, the reading class selected 18 works from more than 100 works.

Some time ago, a pre-selection group composed of Feng Mu, Wei Junyi and others made another selection and selected 8 final candidate works.

According to the evaluation rules of the Mao Dun Literature Award, entering this list means that winning the award is already a sure thing.

Lin Chaoyang did not say whether the news was reliable or not. Jiang Huaiyan and Chen Huaikai immediately understood that such information was definitely correct.

Wang Yang said happily: "It would be a good thing if I could win the award."

"It's just a possibility." Lin Chaoyang said.

"I understand, I understand."

I got the rights to adapt "The Master of Chess" in just one meal. Although it cost a lot of money, it is still something to be happy about.

Now that the adaptation rights have been obtained, Wang Yang immediately thought about the director's issue.

It is true that the script is the basis of a play, but the director also plays a decisive role in a movie. A good horse has a good saddle. The factory spent a lot of money to get the adaptation rights of "The Chess Master", and the director is naturally equipped with it.

Can't be weak anymore.

As he thought about it, Wang Yang couldn't help but feel melancholy again.

It has been more than 30 years since the establishment of Yanying Factory. In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, it can be said that it has strong military strength and abundant talents. In the 1950s, the "Four Commanders of Yanying" Shuihua, Cui Wei, Ling Zifeng, and Chengyin were well-known throughout the country. In the past sixty years, Tieli, Xie

The reputation of "Two Thanks" swept across the film industry.

It is a pity that the four major directors have become old after the 1970s, and the voice of Yan Film Studio in the Chinese film industry has suddenly dropped. The Mesozoic and New Generations are far less elegant than their predecessors.

Wang Yang thought for a while and found that although there were many young and middle-aged directors in the factory, there were only a few who could take on this important task.

The most important thing is that Wang Yang couldn't trust these people. After much deliberation, he finally focused on a few old directors.

Cui Wei passed away in 1979, and Cheng Yin was in poor health and had gone to Yanying to be the dean. Shuihua and Ling Zifeng's styles were not suitable, but Xie Tieli was suitable. Unfortunately, he was filming "Bao and Sons"...

After thinking about it, Wang Yang turned his attention to Chen Huaikai, who was drinking with Lin Chaoyang. This old fox seemed to have nothing to do recently.

Chen Huaikai has always had a good relationship with Lin Chaoyang, so it seems like a good choice for him to be the director.

At the moment, Chen Huaikai is chatting with Lin Chaoyang about family matters. His son Chen Kaige just graduated in July this year and was assigned to the newly established children's film studio.

Chen Kaige and others from the directing department of this generation, only two people stayed in Yanjing, and the other one was Tian Zhuangzhuang.

Tian Zhuangzhuang's father is Tian Fang and his mother is Yu Lan. After graduation, he was assigned to Yanying Film Studio. Chen Huaikai thought that he did not have the influence of Tian Fang and Yu Lan, so he had no obsession with his son not being assigned to Yanying Film Studio. The worst thing he could do was figure out a solution later!

"I will be satisfied if I can stay in Yanjing and be able to pick up a guide tube after the age of forty." Chen Huaikai spoke with emotion about his expectations for his son.

Wang Yang said to him: "Old Chen, how about you filming "The Master of Chess"?"

Chen Huaikai was stunned when he heard this, and asked with some uncertainty: "Shall I take the photo?"

Wang Yang did not answer his question, but turned to Lin Chaoyang and asked him: "Chaoyang, do you think it would be okay for Lao Chen to film "The Master of Chess"?"

Lin Chaoyang laughed, "Okay, of course."

There are many famous directors in Yan Film Studio, but Chen Huaikai has never been particularly outstanding among them. He did not expect that Wang Yang would offer to hand over "The Master of Chess" to him.

After thinking about it, he understood a little. Wang Yang probably did this because he thought he had a good relationship with Lin Chaoyang and would be easy to cooperate with in the future.

The thought flashed past, and Chen Huaikai was even more happy when he heard Lin Chaoyang's affirmative answer again.

But he said modestly, "Can I do it?"

Wang Yang saw him acting like this and said: "Okay, stop being pretentious. After making movies all your life, you don't dare to take on "The Master of Chess"?"

"The main reason is that you have high hopes for "The Master of Chess", and I'm afraid that it will fail."

"Don't be burdened with thoughts. Whoever makes a movie can guarantee that it will be a masterpiece in film history? As long as you have an attitude of striving for excellence, that's enough."

Chen Huaikai is not a young man who has just started working. Naturally, he will not take Wang Yang's words seriously. Wang Yang was able to spend 10,000 yuan to win the adaptation rights of "The Chess" without blinking an eye, which shows that he is optimistic about this movie.

If he really messed up, Wang Yang would probably eat his heart out.

However, Chen Huaikai is still very confident in himself. It is not difficult for him to master themes such as "Chess Master".

Moreover, there is also "An Unfinished Game of Chess" with a similar theme to give him a lesson for the current situation. He boasts that his level is much better than Duan Jishun. This is equivalent to removing all the wrong answers for him in the exam. If he still can't understand the exam

, that is really half a life spent in vain.

"Please rest assured, leader, I, Lao Chen, will do my best!"

Chen Huaikai toasted Wang Yang with a glass of wine and promised firmly.

After he finished drinking, he rolled his eyes again, kicked Jiang Huaiyan with his foot, and made a mouth gesture at Wang Yang when he wasn't paying attention.

Jiang Huaiyan was confused at first, but it took him a few seconds to realize what he meant. He was about to speak, but Lin Chaoyang spoke first.

"Old Chen, I didn't expect that the two of us would have the opportunity to cooperate!"

"Yes, look at this. It turns out that every drink and every peck has its own consequences. Your cooperation with our factory is owed to me." Chen Huaikai said jokingly.

"Good thing, good thing." Lin Chaoyang smiled and nodded, looking very satisfied.

Seeing him behave like this, Wang Yang felt that his decision was very correct.

At this time, I heard Lin Chaoyang say again: "Didn't you tell me before? My eldest nephew said that he would have the opportunity to shoot my works in the future, won't the opportunity come this time?"

Chen Huaikai's expression was startled at first, and then he immediately realized that Lin Chaoyang was telling him something. He must have seen himself winking at Jiang Huaiyan just now.

"That little brat, after just a few days of school, he doesn't know what the world is like. He talks all day long without telling the truth. Now he is at the level of an assistant director at most."

"Assistant directors are enough. This is also an opportunity to learn."

The two of them sang together and put what was in Chen Huaikai's heart on the stage. Chen Huaikai asked Wang Yang a little embarrassedly, "Director, do you think our incompetent boy would be successful if he came over to become an assistant director and learn?"

Wang Yang asked: "I remember that your Kaige majored in directing at Yan Film Studio, right?"

"yes."

"It seems that I have been assigned to the Children's Film Studio."

"yes."

Wang Yang laughed and said, "What's wrong? Send a secondment letter to the Children's Film Studio. If it doesn't work, I'll tell Yu Lan. My eldest nephew is a top student in the directing department, so this is better."

Lin Chaoyang also joked: "Old Chen, fighting brothers, father and son fighting in battle, I think this time's "The Master of Chess" will definitely not be wrong."

He just interrupted because he guessed what Chen Huaikai was thinking.

He did this not only to be a favor to Chen Huaikai, but mainly because he thought that his cheap nephew did have some talent.

The biggest problem with Chen Kaige is not that he has no ability, but that he doesn't know how to exercise restraint and his eyes are higher than his head.

If you draw a circle for him and let him play, it will definitely have better results than letting him do whatever he wants.

"The Master of Chess" is directed by Chen Huaikai, and Chen Kaige is allowed to contribute his young talent that has nowhere to be released. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone?

"Thank you, thank you, thank you for your trust." Chen Huaikai handed over to everyone with a smile on his face.

Talking and laughing, the banquet is over.

Everyone walked out of the hotel happily. Chen Huaikai held Lin Chaoyang's hand tightly in private and expressed his gratitude to him.
