Chapter 146: Bad News Comes
There was emotion in his heart, but Peng Hui easily agreed.
Anyway, Xiao Ju is for his good.
When filming, time often flies quickly.
It's different from directing.
The director needs to have full authority to schedule everything, and filming only needs to do his own job.
But the latter is often too engaged, resulting in the concept of time becoming very blurred.
So unconsciously, Peng Hui was stunned to find that "The Elephant Sits on the Ground" is almost finished!
On the one hand, he lamented that time passed so fast, and on the other hand, Peng Hui was also a little happy.
After all, the feeling of acting this time is still very good.
It's just that as the end of the finale approached, Hu Bo inexplicably became extremely anxious.
Peng Hui was a little curious, but emotional intelligence told him that there were some things that he didn't know before it was necessary.
It's just obvious that the director's anxious mood gradually affected the shooting.
Many times, it was clear that he couldn't do it, but Hu Bo didn't say anything.
This made Peng Hui a little unacceptable.
Since he starred in this play, he naturally hopes that this play can become one of his personal actors' masterpieces.
Of course, this statement is somewhat false, so let's put it another way.
Now that he has starred in this play, Peng Hui, who is very serious about his work, really can't tolerate any flaws!
Maybe it's because he's a director himself, and his obsessive-compulsive disorder makes him unable to accept such a fool at all!
So after getting out of the play, Peng Hui went directly to Hu Bo.
"Director Hu, what happened?" asked Peng Hui with a serious face.
Hu Bo was stunned for a moment, and then smiled bitterly.
After hesitating for a moment, he motioned for Peng Hui to follow.
The two of them went to the side of the rest room.
When there were only two people left in the room, Hu Bo smiled bitterly and explained the reason.
In fact, the root cause is very simple.
Even simply ridiculous.
Money.
Yes, it's money.
A film that is obviously a literary film is faced with this extremely commercial thing.
But you really can't blame people for this, after all, the original intention of any movie is to be able to return to its roots!
Unfortunately, although "The Elephant Sits on the Ground" is a good movie.
Even Hu Bo deliberately turned the originally dark ending into a hopeful ending for the sake of commercialization.
But it doesn't help.
As an investor and one of the producers, Wang Xiaoshuai is extremely dissatisfied with the recent film.
In his opinion, this drama was filmed by Hu Bo very badly, not to mention, it is full of obscure things, such a movie, let alone the box office, I am afraid it will become a bad movie!
Although there are very few literary films that can return to their original costs, and people have long been prepared, it does not mean that Wang Xiaoshuai can tolerate Hu Bo's "messing around".
Director Wang...... How do you say that?" asked Peng Hui quietly.
"Three million!" Hu Bo said with a wry smile: "Three million, I can take all the copyrights of this play." ”
Peng Hui was silent.
Three million is actually not much, and Wang Xiaoshuai didn't ask for much.
Actually, the price is reasonable.
But......
If Hu Bo could come up with such a sum of money, would he still be so irritable?
He is just a newcomer, and he is the first movie, and these three million really stumped him.
The person who can write such a work as "The Elephant Sits on the Ground" is a gloomy life in itself.
In layman's terms, it's depression.
And this situation, along with the filming of the whole play, is getting more and more serious.
It's no wonder that Wang Xiaoshuai would say something like that in a WeChat chat.
But......
After learning this news, Peng Hui smiled a little bitterly.
Three million is not a small number.
Although he thinks he is rich, so far, the copyright of the song has brought him about 500,000 yuan, plus the dividends of the two movies, he now has more than 1 million in his hands.
Originally, Peng Hui thought that he already had a lot of money in his hands.
Can be compared to three million......
Undoubtedly, it is a drop in the bucket.
Peng Hui was a little frustrated, and he couldn't help much.
Considering that he will have to write songs for Xiaoju next, and he will have to film and other factors, he will be able to come up with a maximum of one million.
Thinking of this, Peng Hui said: "I have a million ...... in my hand"
"I can't ask for your money!" Hu Bo refused with a wry smile, and when he saw what Peng Hui was going to say, Hu Bo said: "You have already helped me a lot, and...... To be honest, it's too much of a difference now. ”
"...... in your hand" Peng Hui was a little curious.
"I only have 200,000 in my hands. Hu Bo said with a wry smile.
Peng Hui stopped talking for a while.
After thinking about it, Peng Hui asked tentatively, "Why don't I go find ......?"
"Don't!" Hu Bo didn't listen to Peng Hui's opinion, and directly shook his head and refused, "I'm going to sell the house......"
"Eh, you sold the house, what about your sister-in-law and children?" Peng Hui had learned about Hu Bo's home, so he was more and more surprised.
"Let's get it together. Hu Bo said with a wry smile.
Peng Hui thought for a while and said seriously: "The one million I have here has always been effective. ”
"Thank you. Hu Bo solemnly thanked him.
Knowing the reason, the shooting continued.
But this time, Hu Bo's mood was much better, and the shooting returned to its original rhythm.
Of course, the previous scenes were also re-filmed, although it was cumbersome, but fortunately, it didn't cost too much.
Soon, "The Elephant Sits on the Ground" was completed.
However, Peng Hui knows that the war about "Elephant Sits on the Ground" has just begun.
I want to make up 3 million in a short period of time......
Anyway, Peng Hui is not optimistic about Hu Bo.
The time also came to August of the 17th year.
After the filming of "Elephant Sits on the Ground", Peng Hui suddenly became idle.
It was summer vacation, and I couldn't go to class, so Xiao Ju recently went out to travel with the members of the latest general election, and he was not in the country.
So for a while, Peng Hui didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, it's summer vacation recently, and there are quite a lot of new movies.
Peng Hui also simply started pulling the tab.
The meaning of pulling a film is very simple, it is to watch a large number of movies in a short period of time.
This is a compulsory course for any film school student.
Whether it is a director or an actor, this is a basic skill.
It can be said that a qualified student is bound to watch a lot of movies.
Of course, the focus of the two is different.
The former is to find the filming techniques in the film, and the latter is to delve into acting.
But it takes a lot of time.
It's just that today's traffic has long since lost this time.
Because he was not in a hurry, Peng Hui watched very slowly.
Soon, school opened.
After the start of school, Peng Hui returned to the daily life of classes, dormitories, and libraries.
Life is simple and monotonous, but unexpectedly fulfilling.
However, just when Peng Hui was busy filling in his experience and improving his knowledge, a bad news suddenly came.
So much so that when Peng Hui heard the news, he was stunned.
