Chapter 158: Optimistic

was suddenly asked by Meng Shi such a sentence, Yi Qing didn't react for a while, they came to hand in the script today to see if they could apply for funds for the support plan, but Meng Shi finished reading the script, not saying whether it was good or bad, but asked him if he was willing to work in Beijing Film Studio.

What does that mean?

"Director Meng, you are ~~~~~~~ I didn't understand what you mean!"

Meng Shi smiled: "It doesn't mean anything else, it's literal, you young man, I'm quite optimistic, if you want to dig the corner of your unit, it depends on whether you, the golden corner, are willing to let me dig it!"

Now Yi Qing is no matter how sluggish he is, he also understands what Meng Shi means, obviously after reading the script, he is very optimistic, so he thought of the person who wrote the script again, and wanted to take it down with the script.

Is Yi Qing excited?

There is no doubt about it, on the one hand, there is the Beijing Film Studio, and on the other hand, there is the TV drama production center under the Beijing Television, which side is heavy, even a fool knows.

For a moment, Yi Qing almost agreed, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated again, although it was said that people go to high places and water flows to low places, but people can't be too practical, they should still be emotional.

Director Li on the other side of the center is very good to Yi Qing, and it can even be said that he is a little indulgent, otherwise, with Yi Qing's qualifications, how can he be the producer of "I Love My Family", but Li Hong let him be.

Now if he leaves the center and goes to Beijing Film Studio in order to climb high branches, even if Li Hong doesn't say anything on the surface, he will definitely have some mustard in his heart.

Besides, Fu Yiwei's work problem was solved by Li Hong.

You can't be a man without a conscience!

"Director Meng, I understand your kindness, but over there in the unit, I really can't leave, and the leaders of the unit are also very helpful to me, if I pat my ass and leave, I will be so sorry!"

When Meng Shi heard this, he just smiled and nodded, just now he also felt that he was a little reckless, and he didn't think about it clearly, so he directly opened his mouth to dig people.

It's all a system, although there is no direct contact, but this kind of thing in the industry is good to say, if Yi Qing really agrees, he will not be able to handle it.

"Since that's the case, then I won't be reluctant, but, Xiao Yi, if you have a good book in the future, you can come to me directly, even if you don't work in Beijing Film Studio, we can still cooperate!"

Yi Qing hurriedly said: "Don't worry, if I have a good script, I will be the first to send it to you!"

Meng Shi smiled sincerely this time: "Okay! ”

He is really optimistic about Yi Qing, a young man who looks like he is only twenty years old, can have such skills, although the content of the script of "Two Sons Open a Shop" is a little shallow, but a comedy movie, what do you want to do so profoundly.

What really makes him optimistic is the narrative technique of the whole story, the plot is compact from beginning to end, there is no superfluous part, not even a superfluous line, every scene, every line is flat and straightforward, you should be made to laugh when you should laugh, you should be nostalgic when you should be nostalgic, all the designs, give Meng Shi the feeling that one word is accurate one by one!

As the leader of Beijing Film Studio, Meng Shi has read too many scripts, but he has never seen such a script, so to speak, there is no need to modify at all, not a word needs to be added or deleted, and he can just take it and shoot it.

can have such skills, it's no wonder that Meng Shi is not moved!

Now there is a lack of good scripts in the TV drama market, how can this be the case with movies, there is no good script, all the people and equipment can only be idle, last year, such a large unit as Beijing Film Studio only made two movies, as the director, Meng Shi couldn't explain it to the top and bottom.

In order to alleviate this dilemma, he thought of adapting and filming a tome like "Dream of Red Mansions", and he was ingenious enough to divide the whole story into six parts.

The above stage of the Taiwan Young Director Support Program, in fact, is also to be able to absorb more talents and absorb good scripts, the idea is good, but Meng Shi is not optimistic.

Unexpectedly, Yi Qing gave him a surprise, although "Two Sons Open a Shop" is still a little smaller in general, it is undoubtedly a good story.

Chen Xiaoer watched from the side, and saw that Meng Shi actually poached Yi Qing in person, in addition to envy, he couldn't help but be secretly anxious, and after waiting for a long time, he finally couldn't help but ask: "Director Meng, do you ~~~~~~~ you read this script?"

Meng Shi was interrupted by Chen Xiaoer, and then he remembered the matter, and said with a busy smile: "I don't think there is much of a problem with the script, but I still have to go through the procedure, after all, there is still a review team for this support plan, and the anti-nausea drug review can be passed, and then I can approve the funds for you!"

Although he didn't get the results immediately, Meng Shidu said so, and it should be no problem to pass the audit, and he couldn't help but be happy: "Director Meng, there is one more thing, can I ask, if the audit is passed, how much money can be approved for us?"

Yi Qing also looked at Meng Shi, this is the most important thing, the script must be a good script, the actors are ready-made, but money is crucial, how much money is used to do how much things, if this support plan is approved for tens of thousands of yuan, it will be really in vain.

When Yi Qing was writing the script yesterday, he had already roughly estimated the funds, and counting the actors' salaries, the movie would have to take at least 800,000 yuan to win.

It took 500,000 to shoot "I Love My Home"?

That's a TV series, there are few characters, the scenes are small, and the used film can still be reused, can the movie work?

Meng Shi also thought about it and said, "I can probably give you about 500,000." ”

500,000!

Yi Qing's heart suddenly sank, the budget of 800,000 yuan, he was already the result of repeated compression, if it was only 500,000, it would definitely not be enough, unless all the actors and staff didn't want money and worked in vain.

Yi Qing is naturally no problem, but what about others?

Don't say anything about taking a share, it's all about thinking, this is socialist New China, and you still want to get a share after you get a salary?

What do you want?

Who gave you the courage and who gave you such a big face?

After filming this drama, Yi Qing will also be able to get a screenwriter's fee, according to the market, 1,000 yuan is capped, as for Chen Xiaoer, taking the salary of the director and actors, divided into something, there is no such thing at all.

At best, after the movie is released, the box office is good, and a few hundred yuan bonus will be given at that time.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Meng Shi smiled and said, "What's wrong?

Leader, this joke is not funny at all!

"Don't, Director Meng, if you reduce it a little more, don't shoot this scene. Chen Xiaoer made a bitter face and said, "Let's tell you the truth, before we came, we had already roughly estimated, after filming this scene, if we shoot it well, it will cost 1 million to say the least, you directly cut it in half, we really don't know what to do!"

Chen Xiaoer said, and gave Yi Qing a look, Yi Qing understood, and then said: "Director Meng, what the little second brother said is also the truth, although this story tells the story of ordinary people, there are a lot of scenes that need to be used, just the scenery needs a lot of money, and there is a video studio, when the time comes, we will have to rent outside, which is also a lot of money, 500,000 words, it is indeed a little less, even if we don't take the salary for nothing, we can't shoot it!"

Meng Shi saw that the two of them were talking, and it didn't look like it was fake, so he picked up the script and read it for a while, and said: "The studio directly uses the manuscript fees of the factory, actors and staff, and the factory is responsible for it, you just need to shoot the film for me, just shoot it well, what do you think?"

When Yi Qing heard this, he quickly calculated in his heart, the studio doesn't need money, and if the salaries of the actors and staff are calculated separately, 500,000 yuan will be about the same, and then it will not be enough.

Yi Qing thought and nodded to Chen Xiaoer.

Chen Xiaoer understood and said: "Director Meng, let's just say it, 500,000, it can't be reduced anymore!"

When Meng Shi heard this, he laughed and said: "Teacher Chen, your young master really looks like a businessman, okay, let's just say it first, but we still have to go through the procedure first, and when the review is passed, I will let people contact you!"

Having said that, the audit in Meng Shi's mouth is obviously a formality, since Radio and Television handed over this project to Beijing Film Studio to preside, then the decision-making power is all in Meng Shi's hands.

Yi Qing got up and thanked him busily: "Director Meng, thank you so much! Don't worry, we will work hard to shoot this scene well." ”

Meng Shi said with a smile: "With the famous Chen Xiaoer as the leading actor, and Teacher Chen Wall in charge of art control, I don't worry about this scene at all, but, Xiaoyi, don't forget what we said about good things, if you have a good book, you have to send it to me as soon as possible!"

Now there is a shortage of good scripts, for this matter, Meng Shi also scratched his head all day long, although he didn't expect Yi Qing's ability to turn the tide, but with the help of multiple people, it is better than not having this person.

Coming out of Beijing Film Studio, Chen Xiaoer let himself go, and jumped happily, he wanted to be a director and complete a work independently, this idea was not a day or two, but I didn't expect it to come true today.

"Xiao Yi, you are really my nobleman!"

Yi Qing hurriedly pulled Chen Xiaoer, who pounced on him, away, and said: "Don't be too happy too early, you didn't listen to what Director Meng said, you still have to review, even if the review is passed, the next thing is the most difficult, have you found the actors? Have you inspected the location? There are all aspects of the crew, big and small, you just wait for a headache!"

Chen Xiaoer didn't take it seriously at all: "I don't have a headache, Xiao Yi, do you see, from here on, a director star will rise, and the future will belong to us!"

Yi Qing looked at Chen Xiaoer's neurosis there, and quickly moved a few steps, the director's star didn't see it, but the bald head was indeed bright enough!
