Chapter 187: What if it can be sold for a few million?
"What, you asked me to play this monk?"
When Ning Hao replied shyly and finally said what he meant, He Xin couldn't help but be stunned, and shook his head again and again: "No, no, it's not that I don't want to help, but I don't have that time at all!"
Now the start time of several dramas has been set, starting on November 1, and the filming period will be 90 days, basically until the end of January next year, because February 1 next year is the Spring Festival. Then on February 4th, the filming will be started, and on March 14th, it will also be started in Dongshan, Suzhou, fortunately, Tian Shouxin played by him does not have a role in Dongshan, and he will join the group in early April, so as to leave time for filming.
In addition, Jiang Wenli's husband Gu Changwei's debut film will also start in March next year, during which he will set aside a week to make a cameo.
After filming, he has to rush back to take the college entrance exam at the end of June next year.
That's right, this was arranged by Hao Rong for him, and his girlfriend also tried his best to approve of it, after all, to complete the role transformation from a wild road to a professional actor, a college degree is obviously a grade lower than a bachelor's degree.
What's more, it is easier to upgrade to a college entrance examination than the college entrance examination, especially for art colleges like Chinese opera, which pay more attention to professional results, and He Xin is still very reliable in this regard.
If nothing else, next year he will be an honorable member of the 01 undergraduate class of the Chinese Opera Performance Department, and he will become a classmate with Xiao Zhang.
Therefore, from November this year to next summer, he will not be able to squeeze in time at all.
He told Ning Hao about his situation, and he looked helpless.
Ning Hao frowned after hearing this, he came to the door with a cheeky face, and he was fully mentally prepared.
He has his own little Jiujiu, through a period of deliberate friendship, he feels that he has been able to talk to He Xin, if his new book can say that He Xin will act, on the one hand, he is not afraid of the other party's contribution to the exhibition in the future, and more importantly, he still wants to take advantage of the other party's popularity overseas, Hong Kong and Taiwan, and then maybe he can win an award or something, it will be popular, and it will be sold at a good price.
Ning Hao is different from the so-called sixth-generation directors at the beginning, and many of those sixth-generation directors were purely for art.
For example, Wang Xiaoshuai, when he just graduated from film school, he was very angry, they thought that the so-called filming, it was necessary to lay dozens of meters of tracks, pave elevators, and then have to keep up with dozens of people behind him, and they also had to shoot the confusion of the urban night scene.
It is in this mentality that one of their classmates will make a joke when he is shooting his graduation project, asking the photographer to completely brighten an overpass.
Often the ideal is very plump, and the reality is very skinny. Wang Xiaoshuai was assigned to Hu Jian Film Studio that year, and the leader ordered him to be an assistant director for others, but he didn't do it, and ran to the capital alone to look for opportunities.
But film is a luxury art, and when he was young, he was very confident, and he was bent on finding a sister so that he could make money, but of course this idea did not succeed.
In the end, with the help of a few classmates, he found some black and white film that no one wanted, and spent half a year every weekend to shoot the real life of his two classmates who used to be in the middle school attached to the Central Academy of Fine Arts, and now they have just graduated from college and just stayed on to teach, and thus his debut film was bornββγ
At that time, Wang Xiaoshuai spent all his money and owed a large amount of foreign debts to make this movie, but what should he do after the filming?
In the end, Lou Ye, who has a wide range of roads, helped him send the film overseas to participate in a series of film festivals, including the Vancouver International Film Festival in Canada, the Rotterdam International Film Festival in the Netherlands, and the Berlin Film Festival Youth Forum, which became famous in one fell swoop.
Of course, Ning Hao also advocates art, but he has a more clear purpose in doing things, he just wants to follow the successful examples of Wang Xiaoshuai, Lou Ye, and Section Chief Jia, and he wants to become famous. In his words, it is only when you become famous that you will have more opportunities in the future.
The reason why he was in a hurry to come to the door today was that on the one hand, he was worried about Hexin's schedule and wanted to finalize it first, but he didn't expect that people still didn't have time.
He Xin has the impression that Ning Hao became famous after shooting, and this book looks a little nonsense. And even if he had the time, would he be able to afford it? And listening to him just now, it seemed that he wanted to let himself help him.
Thinking of this, He Xin felt a little unhappy in his heart, even if you Ning Hao are a great director in the future, you can't take yourself as a big wrongdoer. And with the current relationship between the two, it doesn't seem to be to the extent that they can help for free.
"Haozi, I'm really embarrassed......"
As soon as he picked up his wine glass and wanted to comfort the other party, he saw Ning Hao's big head like a tarpon poking over, and said with a smile: "If you have time, would you like to help me with this?"
"Uh......"
Before he could speak, Ning Hao said: "I think so, now you don't have too many scenes in our TV series, if you adjust it, two months is enough, so you can spare one month." β
"What about you, you are the assistant director of the crew!" He Xin said stunned.
"That's no problem, I told Brother Shen about this, he is still very supportive, and can help me contact some resources. Besides, even if I'm not there, the crew won't have anything to do, and it won't affect the shooting. β
I have to say that Ning Hao is very cunning, and he is also very good at taking advantage of opportunities, and he can mobilize some shooting resources while he is shooting. At the same time, he is also hinting to He Xin, you see that Director Shen Yan supports me so much, can't you do me a favor?
To say more, the Xiao He in Ning Hao's mouth is a graduate of the Shanghai Opera Directing Department and a director of the Shanghai Drama Center, named He Twist, who is from the same unit as Xu Guangtou, who raised the file without authorization during the Spring Festival. He and Ning Hao are both little brothers who shoot commercials with Shen Yan.
This also reflects from the side that although Shen Yan tried to direct a feature film for the first time, as a director, he still wanted to control the crew independently, otherwise he could find some very experienced assistant directors.
It's a pity that the actors are too big, and Director Shen Yan is very helpless!
Hearing Ning Hao's little abacus, He Xin was still very reluctant in his heart, he was a little disgusted with Ning Hao's forcible kidnapping, but to be honest, he was relatively thin-skinned, and he couldn't say the kind of words that tore his face and made a decision, so he had to find a reason and said tactfully: "But I still don't think I'm very suitable, you see that the monk in your book wants to speak Shanxi dialect, I won't!"
Ning Hao was also out of the box today, shameless to the end, and hurriedly said: "It's okay with this, I can teach you! We still have two months in the crew, it's enough." Let's talk about this Shanxi dialect, that is, it means, with a little accent, the films of Section Chief Jia, Wang Hongwei and the Shandong dialect spoken by Henan people are weird!"
Looking at Ning Hao's eager expectant gaze, He Xin didn't know what to say for a while, so he had to say vaguely perfunctorily: "This...... Let's talk about it then, I don't know if I can finish filming in two hours?"
"Sure!"
Ning Hao patted his thigh, gritted his teeth and said, "Xiaohe, let me tell you the truth, I definitely can't afford your salary, and of course I can't let you help in vain." In this way, after my film is filmed, if it can be sold, the future income will be half of the two of us, what do you think?"
"Huh? Not really...... Well, I'll have to discuss this with my agent, what do you think?"
"Okay, then I'll wait for your reply. β
Although He Xin didn't agree directly, he didn't refuse in person to make Ning Hao very happy, he hurriedly picked up the cup and said, "Come, Xiao He, I toast you." β
Let's talk about it, this wine is really delicious when you drink it, and it is said that the roast mutton of the old Feng family is not only delicious, but also the haggis is quite good, such as the plate of white-cut lamb tripe, which tastes crispy and chewy.
Ning Hao is a person, he speaks humorously, drinks arrogantly, if he hadn't scolded himself for being stupid behind his back, He Xin really thinks he is a very good person.
He Xin also heard him complain about the crew, which was nothing more than the grievances of Shen Yan, the director, and Wang Jinghua's ugly appearance.
He Xin tried his best to recall, as if there really were no actors signed under Wang Jinghua in Ning Hao's movies in the future, probably this cause may be planted now.
However, he also learned from Ning Hao's mouth that Shen Yan actually had a relationship with Uncle Daoming, and the advertisement for Uncle Daoming's Lilang clothing was directed by Shen Yan.
In fact, He Xin was very curious about something, and couldn't help asking: "Did anyone invest in you while filming?"
"How could there be, otherwise I wouldn't have dared to give you half of the income just now. Ning Hao couldn't help laughing.
"Didn't you already win the best director at the Beijing University Student Film Festival?"
"It's useless. β
Ning Hao shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I don't deliberately drill the camp anyway, it's better to ponder the script if you have this time." I can't help it this time, thinking about the Hong Kong International Film Festival Asian DV Film Competition Unit you mentioned to me last time, it's a pity if I missed it. β
Saying that, he also smiled happily and said, "This time I am fortunate that my father gave me a sum of money to buy a house, otherwise I would not dare to think of this idea." β
"You just use the money to buy a house to make a movie?" He Xin was surprised.
"I didn't take it all out, or my girlfriend wouldn't have agreed. Originally, I planned to pay in full, but now I can only take out a loan, and I will pay it back slowly every month in the future!"
Although Ning Hao is very purposeful, He Xin still admires his courage and courage.
Being able to be open-minded is probably the quality that a successful person should have!
......
"What, you're going to make a DV movie with that assistant director?" Chang Jihong said incredulously.
Maybe he was moved by Ning Hao's persistent attitude, but he didn't take the so-called half of the future income promised by Ning Hao to heart, thinking that if he could really spare a month's schedule at that time, then it would be okay to help Ning Hao, after all, he would be a great director in the future, even if it was a good fate.
And it's just a good relationship, he doesn't think that he will be able to play any role in Ning Hao's movies in the future, because he never thinks that he can act in comedy.
And this one is at most a marginal film with a bit of black humor, so it's okay to try it.
"People have come to my house, what can I do? But that book is good, so let's play with it!"
Since the last time He Xin rejected the Haiyan drama directed by Da Gangzi and tossed Uncle Gao Qun, Sister Hong knew that this product was a strange thing and did not play cards according to common sense. At the same time, he also knew that as long as he made up his mind, he would definitely not be able to pull it back.
After all, Ning Hao can be regarded as the best director of the Beijing University Student Film Festival, he has worked before, and now he is still an assistant director.
Speaking of which, Sister Hong still attaches more importance to the title at the end.
She had to say: "What's the trick on this, tell me the specific situation!"
He Xin told Chang Jihong the general situation, and it was not until Ning Hao was willing to give half of the income as He Xin's salary that Sister Hong's expression was slightly moved.
She muttered, "You give me his phone number and go back and sign a contract with him." β
"Do you still have to sign a contract?" He Xin thought he was doing a favor.
Sister Hong sighed: "Although I am not very optimistic that this film will be sold in the future, since the other party has promised, it is necessary to fix it with a contract." β
Saying that, Sister Hong couldn't help laughing and said, "What if you are lucky, this film can not only win awards, but also sell for millions?"
"Uh......"
