Chapter 283: Yin and Yang Weirdness and Catching Ghosts and Actors (6000 Words Big Chapter!
"Yes, how much do you want?"
β1β
Fang Bei went straight back to a number.
100,000...... After thinking for a moment, Ye Tian replied with two words: "Yes." β
Fang Bei was also quite happy.
and another 60,000 yuan of private money!
50,000 plus 10,000 for a price increase, no problem!
"What's so happy?" asked the eldest lady with the scarf on the other side, looking up.
"I just thought of happy things. "Don't smile.
In the past, I was already very unhappy to accept black money with my conscience, but I didn't expect that there would be such a good thing now!
Not only collect money, but also boast about yourself!
To be honest, this is something that Fang Bei didn't expect.
After thinking about it, he had already conceived a complimenting article, and then showed the eldest lady: "How is it?"
The eldest lady had a strange expression: "Isn't it too numb......?"
"This shows that the essence of my Weibo tuba has been seen through, and they all know that I am a paramecium fan of 'Fangbei'. Fang Bei gave a thumbs up, "Isn't that bad? Maybe it's not far from the time when my Weibo will open up for comments." β
Su Murin: "......"
Is that so......
She doesn't think so.
But there is no way, the eldest lady is so reasonable, let's wait until Fang Don't hit the wall.
Maybe you can take the opportunity to comfort him at that time.
After all, in the past two years since the two got along, Fang Bei has mostly appeared in front of her as a mature big brother except for occasional off-line.
The seven-year age difference does make her quite depressed at times.
She occasionally wanted Fang not to be coquettish in her arms.
This might just be an opportunity.
Soon, a certain Weibo was strongly inserted into the hot search, and soared directly into the top ten!
This is the "#θε±₯θ«ε€Έθ΅ζΉε«#" Weibo.
However, the nine articles in front of it are also different news, and they are all those of the Spring Festival Gala.
For example, the dance "Thousand Hands Guanyin", "Peacock Dance", "Close-up Magic", "Chaos Spring and Autumn", "New Song of Fang Bei" and so on.
Don't click into the hot search.
This is a super talk established by Fangbei fans, and the content is the latest Weibo of "Paramecium".
"What is the most important thing in the 21 st century? Talent! And the most outstanding talent in the domestic film industry in the 21 st century is Fang Bei Fang Director!
I often tell people that Director Fang is my idol, but everyone still doesn't believe it!
Let's just say that Fang Dao's achievement, which of you can achieve it?
He didn't do anything until he was twenty-four!
It only took two years! and several movies that exploded at the box office!
I wrote a few great songs, and a few more poems!
Which of you can do it?
And not only did he not stop there, but even went one step further to make new breakthroughs!
That's right, as an insider, I've already seen Director Fang's new movie sample in advance!
The director of this movie was filmed in only one afternoon! There is only one actor with lines in the whole episode! And only one scene is used!
That actor is the former Venice actor Fang Mingyuan, who has become angry!
It is reported that he didn't get a penny of remuneration at all! It was completely a friendship to join! According to his understanding, he made this decision because he was very optimistic about Director Fang and Director Fang's script!
According to the gossip I got, Director Fang's movie has no cost at all! All the equipment is borrowed! The personnel are all old team members! The cost is estimated to be less than 100,000 yuan!
This is probably the lowest-cost movie since Fang Dedao, and it is also his transformation work!
But personally, I'm very optimistic about this movie.
After all, this is a powerful combination of the '10 billion director' and the 'Oscar-winning team' and the 'Venice actor'!
This movie didn't get 100 million box office, and I ran upside down and naked for 3,000 meters!"
This Weibo can be said to be a stone that stirs up a thousand waves!
The comments section below is filled with a jovial atmosphere.
"It's worthy of the great onmyoji - the strongest paramecium! This yin and yang weird kung fu is still so powerful!"
"Well, what do you mean by that? I thought he didn't turn to black square. β
"How is that possible! Legend has it that Director Fang robbed him of his girlfriend! And Director Fang didn't deny it! How big of a heart does he have to say good things to Director Fang? Unless he collects money! And it's a lot of money! He won't agree to such a thing as a few millions?"
"Yes, so this is still yin and yang, see me analyze it for you.
First of all, pure passers-by, do not stand in line.
This Weibo is sneering and sneering from beginning to end!
Everyone knows that paramecium is the first square black in the sky! He actually said that Fang Dao is his idol? This directly sets the tone, which means that his later words are all backwords!
Of course, 'doing nothing' and 'walking shit luck' are probably his sincere words, and there is a sour atmosphere in these few words, so I ate three plates of dumplings without dipping in vinegar with these few words!
And then the wonderful one came!
said that Director Fang made a few movies that exploded at the box office, which means that Director Fang's bad money drives out good money, and the movie only has the box office but has no connotation!
How many great songs have you written? Those are all sung by others!
How many good poems have he written? He doesn't admit that the last program of the Spring Festival Gala is a song!
To make a new breakthrough? That is to rashly transform and kill yourself!
The movie that was shot in one afternoon has only one leading actor who has passed the gas, and there is only one scene, and the cost is less than 100,000 yuan!
What does this mean?
It seems that this is touting Director Fang's words, but doesn't the meaning of the words be that Director Fang's movie is garbage made casually?
He wanted to say that Director Fang was perfunctory to the audience!
The latter words are all yin and yang!
It seems that the online news that Fang Dao robbed his girlfriend can be hammered, otherwise where would he get such a big grievance?"
At first glance, his words seem to make little sense.
But the more netizens watched, the more they felt ......
Indeed, there is one thing to say, he analyzed the content of this Weibo very well.
It seems that this is indeed the case, and it seems to be more in line with the character design of "Great Onmyoji - the strongest paramecium".
Even the color is the same as green.
Are paramecium green?
In short, this Weibo is popular again.
But this time, there were not many people spraying paramecium, but a group of people were "distressed" about him.
It's a pity that he didn't open the comment area, so everyone's "distress" can only stay under the hot search of super talk.
Because most of them are memes, I won't go into too much detail.
In short, they are distressed that he is green and has emojis such as "be strong......
But there are also people who have discovered one thing keenly!
This paramecium said that it was an insider, and at first everyone else thought it was a joke.
But the movie he said ...... It's true that only insiders know!
The publicity to the outside world has not yet begun, how can he paramecium know?
Unless...... He is indeed an insider!
Liu Mang, who also read this Weibo, couldn't sit still, he rushed back to Hengdian overnight, and pulled everyone in the company to a meeting early the next morning.
Except for Wu Kai, he can't come back in North America for the time being.
............
"Among us...... Out of a traitor!"
Liu Mang, who hadn't slept all night, stared at his red and bloodshot eyes, and viciously glanced at the circle of people around him.
It does not include the expressionless face, and the expressionless lady.
It is impossible for Liu Mang to suspect these two, just look at the name of the company outside.
Is it necessary for the two of them to pit themselves?
There must be traitors!
Either that "paramecium" is indeed an insider!
Either someone has sold out a company for profit!
But in the face of Liu Mang's fierce gaze, everyone was there, and even looked at others with suspicious eyes.
Anyway, no one spoke.
After a while, Fang Bei still couldn't stand it: "I said Lao Liu, this is not an important matter, or forget it......"
"Can't count!" Liu Mang said in a deep voice: "Old Fang, the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill, this kind of thing must not be tolerated!"
Farewell: "......"
But that person is me......
Now there are three people in the company who know that Fang Bei is paramecium.
Wu Kai is not here for the time being, and it is impossible for Fang Bei to say it to the eldest lady, it is too embarrassing......
So the atmosphere froze.
Seeing that no one spoke, Liu Mang's gaze moved to the face of the person on his left.
This person is Nie Fang, the boss of the photography department.
Nie Fang sighed: "I know that you are not happy when the news is leaked, but you know me, I am a person who can do that kind of thing? And you also personally pulled me into the company, you don't understand what kind of character I have."
Having said that, even if I'm that kind of person, am I worth it? Fang Dao's company gives so much money, and I can also earn fame, fame and profit can be obtained by following Fang Dao, is it necessary for me to do this kind of thing?"
Liu Mang felt that what he said made sense, so he looked at Luo Wei, the boss of the post-production department.
Luo Wei hung a dead fish eye: "My answer is the same as Nie Fang, and you know me, fat man, if I only thought about making money, I wouldn't have come to the company in the first place, and I wouldn't have been squeezed out of the circle at all!
Liu Mang felt that what he said was also very reasonable, so he looked at Pan Xiao, the boss of the special effects department.
Pan Xiao smiled coquettishly: "Fat man, you know me, if I am really that kind of villain, then is it not good for me to be a dog honestly in Hollywood when I show off my dream special effects?
Liu Mang also felt that what he said was very reasonable.
Then, he looked at Zhao Qiumei, the head of the field affairs department.
But it was quickly skimmed.
Because Zhao Qiumei is the company's housekeeper, she is directly responsible for Miss Su.
If she wants to make trouble, the Su Group will not be able to spare her first.
She is still sitting here now, which naturally proves that it has nothing to do with her.
So, Liu Mang looked at the last person, that is, Li Bo, who was more than 1.9 meters tall, but had no sense of existence.
That is, the person in charge of the company's props team.
Facing his vicious eyes, Li Bo calmly ordered a cigarette: "Fatty, you know me." I'm a person, although I don't have a sense of existence, but I haven't followed any movie with hundreds of thousands of words in the past? I just don't like to talk. Now the money given by Director Fang is enough for me to spend, and even in the capital, I have bought two suites in full, and I am going to get married on National Day this year, I have no regrets, and the only thought left is to chase my dreams, follow Director Fang to make better movies, and strive to increase the number of words in this book to more than two million words. β
Liu Mang nodded.
Although he couldn't understand what Li Bo was saying, Li Bo wouldn't be a traitor anyway.
After sweeping around again, he sighed: "I know that you are all arrogant and arrogant with unique skills, and you will definitely not do such a thing, but is it possible for the people under your hands to do something?"
Nie Fang frowned slightly: "But the filming of this drama that day was also a temporary idea, there were only a few of us who were present, and we didn't tell the people under our hands, how could they know?"
Liu Mang turned his head and asked Fang Bei: "Old Fang, did your two former colleagues tell the story because they were jealous of your achievements?"
"No, they're working overtime to do the final test of the game, how could I possibly tell them about that. "Fang Bei is very sure.
This is of course, because the "prisoner" is someone on the other side himself......
"Then it doesn't make sense......" Liu Mang scratched his head and began to review.
"There were just a few of us on the set that day, if it weren't for us...... The person in charge of the CCTV office, Fang Mingyuan himself, or the two kings?"
But it can't be.
The CCTV brothers had no conflict of interest with them, and watching that scene at the time, who would have thought that such a humble shooting environment would be a movie?
As for the two heavenly kings, it is even more impossible.
If they want to say it, they will also directly say it to help their brother Fang Mingyuan advertise, how can they go to the paramecium of "Fang Bei's mortal enemy" to say it in private?
Could it be Fang Mingyuan?
Liu Manghu glanced at Fang Mingyuan, who was sitting at the end, suspiciously.
The old man's eyes were blank now, and he looked even more confused.
It doesn't seem to be him, unless his acting skills are really good at this point......
Who could that be?
Suddenly, Liu Mang's eyes widened!
After eliminating all the impossibilities, no matter how tortuous the truth is, bizarre, and unreasonable, the final result will only be one!
And all the evidence points to one person!
Liu Mang suddenly became depressed, and his eyebrows and eyes seemed to be more than ten years old.
He suddenly felt a sense of distraction from everything.
That's what it is...... Does it feel like to be betrayed......
Seeing that Liu Mang's whole person changed from color to black and white, don't pull the corners of your mouth: "Fatty, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Mang raised his head and glanced at Fang Bei with his dull eyes: "Old Fang, I'm so tired...... I felt like I had suddenly become a cry-nosed fool...... I didn't expect it to be done by one of the people I trusted the most......"
Fang Bei's heart was abrupt, this fat man wouldn't have guessed, right?
Isn't it a bit too much?
"Liu Mang, in fact, I ......"
"He was there at the time of the shooting!
He knows exactly what was being filmed!
He used to have a problem with you!
He's not in the conference room right now!
Wu Kai!
Farewell: "......"
............
Somewhere in North America, Mr. Wu was following a Disney executive on a tour of a Disney-owned amusement park.
"Ahh
He suddenly sneezed twice.
Facing the foreigner's inquiring gaze, he smiled: "It's okay, Mr. Alex, please continue." β
Who's scolding me?
It can't be Liu Mang's guy.
Forget it, it's more important to do it now.
Alex on the other side didn't think much about it, he crossed his waist with one hand, extremely proud: "This is Disneyland, which is one of the key points of our Disney in the future! We are all ready for Fang's superhero theme, please follow me." β
According to the previous agreement, the company has licensed the superhero copyright to them for the development of Disneyland.
For example, there are many staff members dressed up as movie characters in the park to take pictures with guests, and there are various peripherals and statues of superheroes - today is the first Disneyland to open for a soft opening.
After walking around, Wu Kai was quite satisfied.
The main thing is that he is not satisfied, and he has to negotiate with Fang Bei, and he is here to talk about the Hollywood movie today.
In a Disney cafΓ© that is much more expensive than the outside, Alex took a sip of American bitter coffee without sugar and milk, and then said slowly: "Wu, is Mr. Fang's script ready?"
"Not yet, but the theme is already there, and it's definitely going to be a superhero. Actually, no, these are Wu Kai's perfunctory words, "Actually, I want to come to Disney for help, or I want to hear Disney's opinion." It's the actors, how are you going to choose?"
It's also very important.
But Disney doesn't have any problem for the time being.
Alex smiled: "As long as it is Mr. Fang's request, we can meet it." Even if he wants to find the best big-name actors now, we can't do it if we work hard. β
Wu Kai frowned.
He thinks he knows Fang Bei quite well, so he knows that Fang Bei definitely won't like to use actors who have already become famous.
If you use these people, can you be satisfied?
Apparently not.
He recalled Fang Bei's routine of choosing actors.
First of all, the first point is to be obedient.
The second point is to love acting in movies.
The third is talent.
Because the other party doesn't say anything, no matter what kind of person can be turned into gold by him.
So talent is the least important point.
After he said what he thought, Alex looked a little unsightly.
This movie is the film that Disney intends to use to suppress other companies and challenge the status of "Hollywood tyrant", if they don't find a big star to play it, how can they attract more people?
He got up and finished his coffee and apologized, "I'm sorry, Wu." This is not something I can decide, I need to go back to a meeting with the shareholders to discuss this matter, do you want to send you back to the hotel first?"
"It doesn't matter. Wu Kai also stood up, "I just want to go around the amusement park." β
"Well, I'm sorry. Apologizing again, Alex nodded and turned to leave.
And Wu Kai wandered leisurely in the amusement park.
Walking around, he came to the place where the circus was performing.
Because it was still daytime and there was a soft opening, there was no show at the circus.
But Wu Kai heard someone talking, and a few minutes later, he saw a somewhat lonely figure slowly leaving.
It was a clown actor in a green wig with funny makeup on his face.
Wu Kai's eyes lit up and he chased after him.
Because before he came out, he asked Fang Bei how to choose the role of this movie.
Don't tell him:
"Hmm...... Although the script has not yet been written, the path taken is generally to explore human nature or the dark and deep cruelty of capitalist society. Anyway, let's look for the kind of middle-aged people who look a little down.
It's best to go to a place like a playground and maybe you'll be able to come across it...... Someone who resembles a clown. β
Could it be that Lao Fang is talking about this person? But how did he know that this person existed?
Forget it, now is not the time to think about that, the most important thing now is to catch up with him!
............
Arthur Fleck, a middle-aged man who is neither young nor old.
Well, maybe he was only in his thirties, and he could still be called a young man.
However, his face destroyed by the years makes everyone who sees him think that he is over forty years old.
Of course, the face under the clown's makeup now, others can't see it.
Today, he was once again deducted from his salary.
Just arguing with the supervisor for a few words, he was ruthlessly fired.
Oh, this damn capital world......
But what else could he do?
He has no money and has to take care of an elderly mother.
At the same time, he had to spend a lot of money on drugs because he was mentally ill.
But having a mental illness means that many companies are turning him away.
So he dreamed of becoming a stand-up comedian, so he could only come to the amusement park to find a job as a clown after graduating from acting school.
But today it was just a trial operation, and he was fired by the supervisor.
The reasons are ridiculous.
Because his slightly narrow face will make people feel scary when dressed as a clown?
Obviously he has worked hard......
Forget it.
He's already giving up.
Go back today, send your mother away, and end your life.
"Wait!"
He continued walking.
"I'm sorry, sir! β
Maybe it's someone else, who's going to find a clown that no one needs?, Arthur Fleck continued to walk forward.
"Mr. Clown, please wait!"
Joker?, do you mean me...... Arthur Fleck stopped, turned around, and looked confusedly at the Oriental man who had caught up.
I don't know the Oriental, probably looking for the wrong person.
The young man in the suit and leather shoes pressed his knees and gasped for a few breaths, then took a deep breath and straightened his waist: "Sir, I don't know what to call it?"
"Arthur Fleck. β
He replied blandly.
I guess I'm really looking for the wrong person.
"Oh, Arthur, it's okay for me to call you that, right?" the man smiled very brightly, even making Arthur feel a little dazzling, "My surname is Wu, and I am from China, I wonder if you are interested in changing jobs?"
"Change jobs?" Arthur said, blankly.
The Oriental man stretched out his hand: "Arthur, you know Fang, right? BieFang, the same Fang who filmed the "Superheroes" and "League of Legends" trilogies. β
Arthur nodded: "I've heard of it." β
Of course he had heard of it, but he hadn't seen the man's movie.
After all, he didn't have any money to waste in a movie theater like that.
"Oh, yes. In the face of his coldness, the Oriental man didn't care, his smile was still bright and warm, "He plans to make a new superhero movie in Hollywood, I wonder if you are interested in being an actor?"
"Actor......" Arthur muttered repeated.
He didn't think the other party was a liar, because he really had nothing to be fooled.
"yes, actor. The Oriental man was still smiling, "Can you give me half an hour so that I can treat you to a cup of coffee?" β
"Actor......"
Looking at the enthusiastic Oriental man in front of him, Arthur's originally dead eyes seemed to come alive again.
He hesitated, and took the hand.
Anyway...... There's nothing to be afraid of anymore.
