152 The Studio
After chatting with Guo Miao, Ning Zheng and Su Ying left Yin Ming's house.
Su Ying was also a supporting character in Ning Zheng's movie, and they had been good friends for many years.
Previously, Su Ying's account had helped Yin Ming to promote the shooting range. Ning Zheng had seen the video on Su Ying's account, which was why she had contacted Yin Ming.
I think Guo Miao will agree. Ning Zheng did not know why, but she still had this feeling.
Even if she agrees, Haicheng doesn't have a filming studio. When the time comes, filming will be a problem. Su Ying frowned.
The movie they were shooting this time was set in the Republic of China era, so they needed retro street scenes. However, the studio in Haicheng couldn't meet their requirements.
Ning Zheng frowned. I do have an idea, but we'll need to get some people to help.
Ning Zheng thought of the old street in the Laocheng district of Haicheng. Many of the old buildings from the Republic of China had been preserved there. Someone had shot there before, but it was for a documentary.
However, it was now the property of a real estate agent with the surname Sheng in the capital. The real estate agent was also a famous female entrepreneur, so Ning Zheng believed that she could persuade her.
The letter of intent was soon sent to the Sheng family in the capital.
Sheng Ying looked at the letter from the production company and frowned. We don't have plans to build a film and television studio in that area.
Sheng Xun looked at Ning Zheng's letter and felt a little strange. Yes, and I saw that their request only requires retro-style buildings. The studio under our name in Beijing will do as well.
But Ning Zheng said that she needed a studio near Haicheng. Sheng Ying could not figure it out and decided to ask Ning Zheng out for a chat.
Ning Zheng chose to fly to Beijing on the weekend. The two of them chose to meet at a coffee shop.
The moment they met, Ning Zheng handed her script over.
Miss Noni's part in our movie will be shot at the retro film studio in Haicheng. I hope we can cooperate. Ning Zheng was very sincere.
Sheng Ying roughly read the script and understood Miss Noni's background and story. I really hope to work with you, Director Ning, but our family's studio in the capital also has a set with retro streets. I want to ask why you chose to work with us near Haicheng.
The actress I've chosen for Miss Noni is from Haicheng. She's still a high school student, so she hopes to film in Haicheng, Ning Zheng replied.
Sheng Ying suddenly thought of Guo Miao. Guo Miao was in Haicheng and was in high school. Could the actress Ning Zheng was talking about be Guo Miao?
Then, can I know who this actor is and evaluate the possibility? Sheng Ying couldn't help but ask.
Ning Zheng played the video that Su Ying had posted on social media for Sheng Ying.
Sheng Ying's jaw dropped in surprise when she saw the girl with her eyes covered. If she was not mistaken, this girl was Guo Miao.
Isn't this Guo Miao? Sheng Ying pointed at Guo Miao and asked.
Ning Zheng was also surprised. Do you know Guo Miao?
Yes, Guo Miao is my brother's friend. Sheng Ying did not intend to tell Ning Zheng that Guo Miao had treated Sheng Guang.
That's really fate, Ning Zheng said.
Sheng Ying thought about Miss Noni in the script and then about Guo Miao. She nodded. Indeed, Guo Miao is very suitable for this role. It fits your original intention of writing this character.
Ning Zheng's eyes brightened and she took out the contract. If that's the case, can we proceed with our partnership?
Sheng Ying nodded. I'll ask our company teacher who specializes in retro-style building restoration to repair it. If you need any interior work, you can look for me. I can give you some set-building packages for free.
Ning Zheng did not expect that with Guo Miao's relationship, not only would she be able to find the studio in Haicheng, but she would also be able to save a lot of money on setting up the scene.
Thank you very much for your help. I'll definitely do my best in this film. Ning Zheng looked at Sheng Ying gratefully.
Your script is also very good, and you have a good eye for choosing people. I hope your movie will be a sell-out.
Sheng Ying was willing to agree because of Guo Miao, but she was also moved by the image of Miss Noni in the script. She also wanted to see this character.
After the shooting location and actors were decided, Ning Zheng started to prepare for the shoot.
