415. Crazy stone
Sitting opposite Nie Wei, Ning Hao swallowed nervously. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Because he has never been involved in commercial films, this is the first time he has written a commercial script, speaking of which, it aroused his interest in commercial films, or because of Nie Wei's previous "Speed Scandal".
The class he listened to when he ran back to his alma mater touched his heart a lot, and he who had been taking the literary route gradually became interested in commercial films.
The teacher is right, in terms of influence, literary films can't win commercial films, after all, the crowd base is there, otherwise why a lot of literary film directors call movies not easy to sell, it's because the audience is small.
Looking at the big directors who are now familiar to the public, they are basically becoming famous with their commercial works, so Ning Hao's concept is also slowly changing, and he wants to seek development on this road.
But there is one thing that makes commercial films difficult for him, and that is the filming funding.
This is different from literary films, it's not like you can shoot it with hundreds of thousands, now domestic commercial films have to start with more than one million, just like the script that Nie Wei is holding in his hand at the moment, Ning Hao has been at home for a long time after writing it, no matter how you save it, you can give seven figures for shooting funds.
So after realizing that he couldn't scrape together the shooting funds at all, he could only go to find investment.
And after making up his mind to find investment, the first thing he thought about was Nie Wei.
After all, he made up his mind to take the road of commercial films because he listened to the professor's analysis of Nie Wei's movies that aroused his interest, and for men, no matter what the first time was, it was always more important.
In addition, Nie Wei's graduation work support fund set up in the film academy also made Ning Hao see more hope, although he had already graduated, this fund would definitely not be enjoyable for him, but at least he could see from this fund that Nie Wei was very willing to help new directors.
Finally, and most importantly, Ning Hao used to be mixed in the literary and artistic circles, and he didn't know a few investors at all, and Nie Wei always had some relationship, right?
So after making up his mind, he came to Huayi with the script.
Not to mention, a big company is a big company, even if he broke into the door in a daze and opened his mouth to see Nie Wei, but the front desk didn't drive him out as a psychopath, but after carefully inquiring about the reason, he was willing to help him ask for instructions.
Ning Hao feels that the quality of this front desk is really top-notch, no wonder Huayi can be so good in the circle.
Soon there was a reply, telling the front desk that Nie Wei was in a meeting.
"Our Mr. Nie is in a meeting, it may take about an hour, do you choose to wait or leave a message, I will truthfully convey it to you if you leave a message. β
"An hour, then, I'll just wait. "For Ning Hao, leaving a message is too unreliable, after all, he knows the relationship between himself and Nie Wei best, in fact, it can't be called a relationship at all, he is afraid that the other party will not read the message at all, so he just continues to wait, anyway, it's just an hour.
But this hour was full of torment for Ning Hao, he had lived for almost thirty years, and he didn't think that an hour would be so difficult.
The first fifteen minutes are fine, look at the magazine, drink tea, but patience will wear off with the loss of time, and gradually Ning Hao's eyes are becoming more and more empty when he looks at the magazine, and even looks up at the watch in the back There is more time than looking at the magazine in his hand, and the tea is not drunk, it's not that he doesn't want to drink, the tea water urine, and if he drinks too much, the urge to urinate can't stop appearing in the 'side light' area, making him restless, but if he goes to the toilet, he is afraid of missing the notice, after all, it is an hour, who knows if it will be in advance?
So even if the urine is about to break through the sky, he endures it, and in this state, time naturally feels slower.
Seeing that an hour and ten minutes had passed, Ning Hao also felt that he couldn't help it, and was about to talk to the front desk about finding a toilet, but the phone rang, and then Ning Hao saw a good-looking girl come over, smiled at him and said, "Mr. Ning Hao, Mr. Nie has already finished the meeting, please go to his office." β
"Thank you, thank you. Under the excitement, Ning Hao even temporarily forgot the surging urine in the 'side light' area, but the moment he stood up, his body's instinct still prevailed over the spirit that was excited at the moment.
"That girl, do you have the nearest toilet......
Five minutes later, Ning Hao blushed and followed a girl with a smile on her face to the door of an office.
"Wait a minute. Glancing at Ning Hao with a smile, the girl stopped and knocked on the door, and soon there was a 'Please come in' from inside.
"Please. The girl opened them and welcomed Ning Hao in, and then after entering the door, she bowed respectfully and slightly to the man sitting behind the desk, and reported: "Mr. Nie, this is Ning Hao, what else do you command?"
"Excuse me, thank you. Nie Wei looked up and smiled at the girl, signaling that he was fine.
When the girl left, she didn't forget to look at Ning Hao with a smile, and the latter's face turned red again, so she closed the door.
Nie Wei also discovered the unusual interaction between the two, and glanced at Ning Hao strangely, not that he suspected that there was any relationship between the two, he could see that the girl's laughter was a simple joke Ning Hao, and he didn't know what this kid had done, he could make the girl laugh all the way, and he didn't forget to look at him again before leaving.
Nie Wei didn't know that Ning Hao's title of 'Uncle Holding Pee' had spread at the front desk at this time, after all, a man who looked like he was in his thirties almost held back his pants, in the eyes of the front desk girl who was idle and bored every day, this was definitely a very pitiful and interesting thing worth talking about.
"Sit. Nie Wei quickly retracted his gaze and pointed to the chair opposite.
"Hello Mr. Nie, my name is Ning Hao, I came to you this time to seek investment, I want to make a movie, and the script is here. Ning Hao sat down and introduced the purpose of his visit today, after all, he had the impression that the boss's time was very precious, and if he rubbed it off, he might not be able to finish the introduction.
If he couldn't invest because he couldn't finish the introduction, Ning Hao probably had the heart to cry to death, so he was prepared for a long time and immediately began to introduce his movie after he saw Nie Wei and said hello.
And Nie Wei was holding the script and letting Ning Hao's words froth freely, but his attention seemed to be all on the script.
In fact, when he called from the front desk, Nie Wei thought that this Ning Hao was probably the director in his impression, and when he saw the real person, he was even more sure that Ning Hao at this time was thinner and darker than Nie Wei's impression, but the general outline did not change.
After seeing the script in his hand, Nie Wei was already completely sure that this was the great director in his impression.
It's just that the script that will be created next year has been released ahead of schedule, and Ning Hao didn't participate in the event held by Liu Tianwang, but went to Huayi to run for the movie funds, which really feels a little confused in Nie Wei's opinion.
As for what Ning Hao said, Nie Wei didn't care too much, because he had already seen the final product of this movie, and it can be said that Nie Wei now understands this script more maturely and profoundly than Ning Hao, the creator himself.
After talking for ten minutes, seeing that Nie Wei didn't respond, Ning Hao also dared to be a little apprehensive, but Nie Wei also didn't show impatience, just looked at the script page by page without hurry.
"Ning Hao, is it?" After another ten minutes, Nie Wei was relieved of the script, looked up at Ning Hao and asked.
Hearing Nie Wei's greeting, Ning Hao nodded hurriedly and said, "Mr. Nie, speaking of which, we are still alumni, and I am also a graduate of Jingdian." After speaking, Ning Hao blinked, wanting to see how Nie Wei reacted.
But Nie Wei's face was already flat, and he just reached out and clicked on the script on the table.
"Tell me how you want to make the film, the location, how much to invest, which actors to use, what the expected income is, etc. β
Nie Wei's words choked Ning Hao, and not only did he slander himself for what he had just said in vain, but Mr. Nie spoke, and asked in such detail, Ning Hao naturally answered immediately.
"I hope to integrate dialect into this movie, so in the setting, I chose Shancheng, where people speak in a tone that is naturally humorous, and I also want to put the filming location there, as for which actors to use, the actor I like Guo Tao very much, he has a rich performance amazing, and the image age is very suitable for the actor, in addition, the villain No. 1 I think Liu Hua is very suitable, he is also an old drama bone, and I feel bad when he looks good, I haven't decided on the other candidates, and I hope to have 1.5 million funds to invest in this partβ¦β¦β
When it came to funds, Ning Hao subconsciously glanced at Nie Wei, and when he saw that the other party didn't have much reaction to the numbers he proposed, he suddenly felt a little lost in his heart, did he say less?
"After graduating from Jingdian, you chose all the actors and actresses, so you are not afraid that the senior brothers and junior brothers will trouble you?" Nie Wei suddenly said with a smile.
This sudden joke made Ning Hao stunned, and then he laughed as well.
"Don't be afraid, I'll pick the right actor when I choose the right one, and the acting skills of the people in the Chinese opera are indeed closer to life than those from our school...... I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Mr. Nie, I didn't say that your acting skills are exaggerated, you are a special case. "Ning Hao really wanted to give himself a mouth at the moment, Nie Wei just had a little smile over there, and he got carried away, and as a result, he immediately 'came out of his mouth'.
However, Nie Wei didn't care about his words at all, his acting skills have long been recognized in the circle as a thumbs up, at least at his age, not to mention Chinese opera and Jingdian, even if you add the performing arts schools in the national circle of drama and Beijing, it is difficult to find a person who can compete with Nie Wei's acting skills.
"You don't have to hold me here, I've read the script, it's very interesting, but ......" Nie Wei deliberately elongated his tone when he said this, and Ning Hao's heart was full of trouble, this little junior brother was really anxious to speak, and this just sounded like a bad feeling, wouldn't he really offend him with what he said just now?
"But I think you're investing a little bit less. Nie Wei finally said the next words, but it made Ning Hao a little dumbfounded.
"You mean ......" After coming back to his senses, Ning Hao looked at Nie Wei with some excitement.
"If you make such a movie for 1.5 million, I think it's too tight to remove the actors' salaries, so let's do it, I can double your investment, but there is one condition. Nie Wei said with a smile.
"You say, you say, I will agree to any conditions. As soon as he heard that the investment had doubled, Ning Hao was immediately led by Nie Wei's nose and left, and began to agree without listening to the conditions.
But after all, it's three million, although it is only a small investment in a commercial film, but it is also a huge amount of shooting funds that Ning Hao has never gotten, thinking that three million is in hand, the budget of this movie will be rich all of a sudden, and many of the shots he wants to shoot can also be realized.
"Don't worry, it's not too embarrassing, what you do is a commercial movie, I naturally want to make money when I invest money, three million can be given to you, but you also want me to see the benefits, I don't ask for much, give you three million, I ask you that the box office of this movie should exceed 10 million, as long as it is exceeded, in addition to the director's remuneration, I will give you a big red envelope, if you still want to make a movie, I will also give you another money, but if it does not exceed, sorry, you have to work for nothing to make a movie for me, how about it?" Nie Wei asked.
With a box office of 10 million, Ning Hao suddenly felt pressure in his heart, but the conditions put forward by Nie Wei were good enough, not to mention how many red envelopes there were, just investing in new films in his future was tempting enough, as a director, what he was most afraid of was that he had no funds, and Nie Wei's condition just said that Ning Hao, a commercial rookie director, was in his heart.
As for the fact that failure will work for nothing, Ning Hao thought about it and felt that it was nothing, he was not a big director, he could get a salary of millions for filming a movie, he was such a rookie, even if he worked for a movie for nothing, wouldn't it be a matter of a few months at most, compared with success, this condition is nothing at all.
The most important thing is that after getting three million, Ning Hao will have more confidence to make this movie well.
After thinking about it, Ning Hao immediately promised Nie Wei to agree to this 'gambling contract'.
Although Ning Hao and Nie Wei both wanted to sign the contract immediately, this matter was really not in a hurry, the contract needed to be prepared, and Nie Wei still had to talk to Wang Zhonglei, so the signing of the contract was postponed for tomorrow.
Seeing that Ning Hao left the office, the smile on Nie Wei's face could no longer be hidden, that bet on Nie Wei knew that he would lose, after all, in another time and space, this movie was also an investment of three million, but the harvest was more than twenty million at the box office.
But Nie Wei, who seems to have lost the bet, actually knows that he has won, because Ning Hao's next few works are completely profitable, and Nie Wei just wants to leave an impression on Ning Hao, and it is right to invest in himself.
At this moment, the phone on Nie Wei's desk suddenly rang, and looking at the caller ID, it really said that Cao Cao Cao had arrived, and it was Wang Zhonglei who called. (To be continued.) )
