Chapter 4: Good News, Bad News
As for "This Man from Earth", although it was only released in 2007, it is actually an adapted movie.
The author of the novel completed the posthumous work in April 1998 and handed it over to his son, who is a screenwriter.
Now Chen Hao doesn't have the money to buy the adaptation rights, and there are so many movies in his mind, so he doesn't have to stare at this movie.
"What do you think, so engrossed?"
The sudden sound startled Chen Hao, and then Chen Hao felt that he was being hugged tightly by a man.
Smelling the smell of wine and sweat, Chen Hao couldn't help frowning, how long had he not been touched by a man?
Immediately, Chen Hao broke free, turned his head and saw that it was Ning Hao, who didn't have a good airway, "Hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face, there is a smell." ”
"What kind of smell??" Ning Hao squeezed his eyebrows and smiled, and went into the house to get a basin to wash up as he spoke.
Chen Hao raised his eyebrows when he heard this, I didn't expect you to be such a Ning Hao, and a sullen man!
Shaking his head, Chen Hao continued to think about his debut!
"Hey, what do you want?" Ning Hao finished washing, returned to his table, picked up the bun and nibbled on it.
"I think about my first movie. Chen Lin replied.
"You want to shoot your own debut?" Ning Hao came to his senses when he heard this.
"It's early, I'm working on a script. Chen Hao said and glanced at Ning Hao, "Besides, I don't have any money!"
Ning Hao laughed when he heard this, Chen Hao had been busy for a year, but in the end, half of the money he had saved was fooled by Ning Hao to shoot his debut film "Thursday, Wednesday".
Chen Hao doesn't take money from his family, and he has to pay tuition and rent, so he really only has food money left.
"Why don't I write a script for you?" Ning Hao smiled awkwardly.
"No, I've got some inspiration. Chen Lin shook his head.
Ning Hao shrugged when he heard this, he was used to getting along for more than a year, and he didn't know where Chen Hao got the confidence to write the script by himself.
But these scripts don't talk about school, even Ning Hao doesn't think it's good, this is still merciful, obviously Chen Hao has no talent in screenwriting.
However, Chen Hao's directing ability is good, and he is also righteous, and he is often pitted, which is worthy of deep friendship!
Ning Hao really thinks that Chen Hao is wasting time, so it is better to find someone to write a script, "Do you want me to introduce you to a screenwriter, she is working with me to create my new script." ”
Hearing this, Chen Hao asked, "That "Big Diamond"?"
"Did you see that?" Ning Hao asked with a smile, "But no, it's another script, called "Incense". ”
It turned out to be this movie, and it seems that "Crazy Stone" has waited.
"Otherwise, I've written a script too, and you tell me what you think and see if I can help you finish it together. Ning Hao decided to try hard again, hit Chen Hao, and make him give up the idea of continuing to write the script.
Chen Hao smiled when he heard this, "It's okay, you can refer to it in detail! This is a story about a parallel world." ”
"Parallel worlds?" Ning Hao was stunned when he heard this, and then asked uncertainly, "Sci-fi?"
You kid wanted to make a sci-fi film the first time you became a director? Crazy? You have the ability? Can you get investment?
Chen Hao knew what he was thinking when he saw Ning Hao's eyes, and explained with a smile, "It's okay, but it's not hardcore sci-fi, it can only be regarded as soft sci-fi, and the investment is very small." ”
"Soft sci-fi?" Ning Hao nodded slowly when he heard this, and then he also had a hint of sexual interest.
After all, limited by the level of the film industry, the market, investment, and even the script, it is rare to see science fiction films in China.
Although I don't have much hope, I still have some admiration for Chen Hao for daring to make a sci-fi film, this is an ignorant and fearless youth!
It's just that with Chen Hao's narration, Ning Hao, who originally wanted to find faults, was dumbfounded, because he found that he didn't understand this story.
But looking at Chen Hao's head is the Tao, and although the story is a little complicated, it is indeed very attractive.
"This, well, how many parallel worlds are there in your story?" Ning Hao couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, theoretically more than 5 million parallel worlds can be generated. Chen Lin looked at the stunned Ning Hao and said with a smile.
"More than 5 million?" Ning Hao couldn't help but exclaim, "You're too complicated, who can understand it?"
"It's just theoretical, but there are a few that really involve the plot, and don't you think the more brain-burning it is, the more attractive it is?" Chen Lin asked with a smile.
"It's really interesting, it's very gripping. Ning Hao nodded, "No, you tell me again, I didn't understand, you explain it to me." ”
"I've got to hurry up and write the script, and you'll see it for yourself when I'm done." Chen Hao directly refused.
"Hey, if you don't bring this, you kid doesn't care if you arouse people's sexual interest?" Ning Hao couldn't help but shout.
"What kind of sexual interest?" Hao Yi's voice came faintly.
I saw Hao Yi standing at the door, prostituting the two suspiciously, "Should I go away quietly?"
"Get out. Chen Hao said angrily, "Why did you come back so soon?
"How's it going?" Ning Hao also hurriedly asked.
Because after filming "Thursday, Wednesday", not only Chen Hao had no money, but Ning Hao also had no money.
He is now writing the script of "Incense", and he is in a state of saving money, he can't work, and he has no money and is a fart!
"One bad news, one good news. Hao Yi sat down and said, "You want to ......"
"Bad news!" Chen Hao interrupted directly.
"Say it quickly!" Ning Hao said equally simply.
Hao Yi had no choice but to swallow the words that came to his mouth, and said slowly, "The bad news is that the MV that was negotiated before is yellow." ”
"What's going on?" Ning Hao asked.
"I was robbed. Hao Yi said helplessly, "This bastard is not authentic, he backtracks, and it is said that he has already been filmed." ”
Chen Hao shook his head when he heard this, and he also verbally promised not to sign the contract at that time, so you can't do anything about it.
It's just that I don't have much money left in my hand now, no matter how low the cost of the movie is, it is not enough, I still have to make money quickly, otherwise how can I embark on the road of Hao?
"What about the good news?" Chen Hao asked.
"It's not good news, it's news at best. Hao Yi said, "Nongfu Spring is preparing to launch natural water, and it will not hesitate to spend millions to shoot advertisements for this purpose." ”
"Millions, so many?" Ning Hao said in surprise.
Because this is enough for him to make a few films, you must know that the budget of "Incense" is only 50,000 yuan!
"There is no way, Yangshengtang said that pure water is not beneficial to people's bodies, and only natural water is the most suitable for people to drink, so he offended the entire pure water industry, and he had to make a desperate bet, and millions are not much for people. Hao Yi explained.
Chen Hao nodded when he heard this, he had really never filmed MVs, TV series, movies, and commercials in his previous life.
However, there is a million remuneration, and I have also filmed some commercials in my predecessor, which is really suitable for my current situation.
"Then we'll take the million. Chen Hao said.
Ning Hao frowned slightly, and Hao Yi also said, "Now many companies are eyeing this advertisement, I'm afraid that our hope is slim!"
"There is little hope, so there is still hope, isn't it?" Chen Hao smiled, "And there is nothing to lose by trying, at most it is just a waste of time." ”
"That's right, a man can't say no. Ning Hao glanced at Chen Hao when he heard this, and nodded.
"Okay, anyway, you two are in charge, and I'll just take care of the work. Hao Yi also smiled.
