Chapter 18: Give you a billion yuan

In the next nearly twenty days, He Yilong became more and more restrained and contemptuous of arrogance, more and more doubts in his heart, and more and more admired Chen Fei.

You say that Chen Fei is an expert, but too often, this guy doesn't even have some basic common sense to make movies. You say that Chen Fei doesn't understand, and he can always point out the shortcomings in the details.

This young man, who has always been wearing a hooded sweatshirt, a mask and sunglasses, does not allow Han Yan to call his name, and carefully hides himself, acts like a domineering president: Don't tell me about messy majors, listen to me, just shoot like this! The camera, swing to the right, let you pose, don't talk nonsense! You, you can't catch the emotional point, right, be simple, take the first few steps, say which line, just follow what I say......

He Yilong felt that Chen Fei was the sweeping monk of Shaolin Temple, the real master did not show his face, and his rank was too high, so he didn't bother to communicate with him as an assistant director at all, I am afraid that before making this movie, this movie had already been presented in his heart.

This is the ability of a real palace-level master.

He Yilong studied modestly, and even bought a small notebook, wrote down some of what Chen Fei said, as well as his feelings, and watched it over and over again at night. Money is not money...... Well, of course, money is still very important, and more importantly, He Yilong feels that after more than ten years, he has not learned wool, and when he met Chen Fei during this time, it was like meeting the godfather in his life!

He cooperated very well with Chen Fei's work, so that the filming progress was even faster than expected.

In fact, it is also understandable that this is not making a movie, this is copying a movie. Chen Fei recalled the original version in his mind and described the requirements. He didn't bother to care which shooting technique was better and which presentation was better, he just wanted the original.

On July 18, the filming of "An Empty City" entered the final stage. A movie that took three months to shoot in the previous life can now be completed in less than a month. This results in a large investment budget that is not spent.

Chen Fei looked at the rest of the money, and there were still more than four million, which made him a little dark.

No, the budget for post-production submissions and other budgets are kept, and the rest must be spent.

At the end of the day, the heads of various actors and departments breathed a sigh of relief, it was too tiring to cooperate with this "masked man", every day was high-intensity, everyone dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, but there were many complaints behind their backs.

There were even a few actors who looked at Chen Fei and rolled their eyes and spit.

He Yilong took the megaphone and got on the stool: "All the staff, please stay, I have a few words to speak for the wise and great director......

There was a lot of booing.

He Yilong: "Everyone's hard work during this time, the director sees it in his eyes and remembers it in his heart, first of all, I want to thank all my work partners, without you, there would be no great movie that is about to become a monument in film history, thank you!"

The boos were louder, and even a voice sounded: "Monument fart, I wish this movie hit the streets." ”

Who? Who the hell is really talented, and he speaks so well, he will have to be rewarded later!

Chen Fei looked for prestige and found that it was the "housekeeper" Liu Shanhe, this person is old, has been making movies for more than 20 years, and is not very famous, but he is really an old actor. So in the past 20 days, Chen Fei has not left any affection, and he has been scolding back and forth, making his violent temper unbearable for a long time.

He Yilong continued: "The director said that this is everyone's credit. In these days, everyone should have an understanding of the director's character, he speaks little, he can not speak, he will never speak, he will not appear, he will never appear. But the director is an extremely efficient person, every second he appears, he is doing practical things, and every word he says is to the point. So, I won't talk nonsense, listen to the director's orders, and give out red envelopes!"

Chen Fei pointed at Liu Shanhe: "Give him 100,000." ”

He Yilong stumbled and almost fell off the chair: "More...... How much?"

Chen Fei: "One hundred thousand." ”

He Yilong: "I'm ...... Director, everyone listen, this joke can't be messed around. ”

Chen Fei recruited finance, and he was really concise: "Send money!"

The transfer was made on the spot, and 100,000 yuan was in place, Liu Shanhe stood there dumbfounded, unable to react.

Chen Fei looked at the "old mother" who often rolled her eyes at him, this old mother is also an old actor, and she has a lot of scenes in the movie: "Give her 100,000!"

"That, give fifty thousand. ”

"This, give 30,000. ”

"The stills master gives 20,000. ”

"Props, costumes, makeup, 20,000 per person. ”

"One person in the group will give five thousand!"

......

I have seen the crew give out red envelopes after the finale, but they give money before they finish it, it is really rare, and the one who gives 150,000 yuan at every turn is the rarity of the rare.

But this was a good thing for everyone, and everyone rejoiced and shouted in unison: "Long live the director......"

Chen Fei was very distressed, and sent it around, but there were still more than a million that hadn't been sent out, forget it, let's send it again.

"Transfer another 100,000 to Teacher Liu Shanhe!"

"Teacher He Xiuhua will also transfer another 100,000!"

"Add another 10,000 ...... each of the others"

The crowd cheered again. Liu Shanhe walked up and held Chen Fei's hand, his old eyes were a little red: "Young man, repay grievances with virtue, and your strength is extraordinary." I am optimistic about you! Soon, I think you will definitely become a dark horse in the film industry, and I wish you to become a 10 billion director as soon as possible!"

Oh......

Are you praising you for your nice words, and then you turn your head and come to irritate me? You bad old man is really bad. The ghost wants to become a dark horse in the film industry, and the ghost wants to become a 10 billion director, don't you see that my fingers are about to be wrapped? After filming this movie, I will go to sell clothes, who will play with you.

Han Yan ran over to join in the fun: "Director, director, where's my red envelope?"

When Chen Fei saw her, he was angry: "Get out of here and play." ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

Han Yan: "Why do others have it, but I don't?"

Chen Fei was impatient: "I'll give you a billion yuan?"

He Yilong made up for it with a wicked smile: "Hehe, I understand, a big business of one billion yuan, leave the door for the director at night......"

The crowd burst into laughter again.

Han Yan was not angry, pursed his lips, and went to the side.

Where there was no one, Sister Ying looked Han Yan up and down, a little panicked in her heart, really a little panicked, and said in a low voice: "My eldest lady, don't scare me." You don't release albums, you come to make movies, how ridiculous it is, I can support it. But now, you little blush...... We must not have any scandals with this neurotic. Your career is now in a critical period, Xiaoyan, don't mess around, don't mess around!"

......

"An Empty City" was successfully completed, it is not a science fiction film, the only big scene is an explosion, and there are still two million post-production reserves, which is enough, but the effort is right, and if you don't spend it, you will continue to find a perfect excuse and remake it.

Samples are out. The soldiers are divided into two ways, one is taken by Sister Ying to contact the theater, and all the way to the major film festivals for selection.

In terms of cooperation with theaters, there is a problem. The first thing people saw when they saw that the female number one was Han Yan, and they chuckled in their hearts. The contradiction between Han Yan and the "godfather" is very clear to these theater owners. The godfather controls the largest entertainment company, has countless artists and directors, and is the largest content exporter of film and television works every year.

The selection went very well.

That night, Ren Yi lay on the bed, glanced at the sleeping girl next to him, and his heart was empty. He has obviously made successful works, which shows that his strength is no problem. He still has a very strong network, and he shouldn't be like now, with long legs today and a thin waist tomorrow...... Gentle Township, Hero Mound, he's a little tired of this life. He wants to stand up again, no longer like in previous years, as long as there is money to make, "Chrysanthemum Monster vs. Peach Blossom Man" dares to shoot. He decided to find a good book and make a serious one.

But I can't help but admit that even if I find a good book, it's useless. He has been abandoned by capital and has become box office poison, and everyone is hiding from him.

There is only one way to solve this situation, and to get back on fire!

Theoretically, there is no investor, and it is the same for Ren Yi to pay for it himself. The crux of the problem is that over the years, the money has long been spent in the pile of young molds.

Ren Yi rubbed his face, worried.

Did he really answer his uncle's words? It's just mud that can't hold up the wall!

The mobile phone rang suddenly, an unfamiliar number, Ren Yi frowned, but it was still connected.

"Hello Director Ren, congratulations, your work "An Empty City" has been shortlisted for our Golden Donkey Award, the judges have seen it, and the evaluation is very high, if there is no special change, it is very likely to win the Best Director Award for Literary Films, the New Best Actress Award, congratulations to Director Ren in advance......"

As soon as I hung up the phone with a blanket face, another call came in: "Is it Director Ren Yi? I am a staff member of the Asia Film Festival, and I would like to invite you to participate in this year's film festival." Your "An Empty City" is highly rated and is expected to win the Best Director award......"

After hanging up the phone, Ren Yi cried.

Sitting on the bed, wiping his nose and tears from his eyes, crying like a fat child of 200 pounds.

Happiness came too suddenly.

He almost forgot about this movie, but he never expected that this movie would become a turning point in his life.

Before going to bed, he still hated Chen Fei for blackmailing him, and felt that that kid should find a chance to kill him, but now when he thinks of Chen Fei's appearance, he feels so cute, he is simply the cutest person in the world.

He found Chen Fei's phone number and called: "Chen Fei, thank you for your kindness, has the movie schedule been set?"

Chen Fei: "It's set for August 18. ”

Ren Yi: "It's already been negotiated?

Chen Fei: "No, people don't give it to the theater." None of them will be given. ”

"......" Ren Yi: "Damn, dare you set the schedule yourself? You don't care about this matter, I'll take care of it, other theaters don't dare to say it, the boss of Qingkong Cinema is my old brother-in-law." Otherwise, you think I made 12 garbage films in seven years, how do you make each garbage see people?"
