Martin Groz and the others left, and Mu Ying was taken directly to his hotel room by Xiao Yao. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Mu Ying unceremoniously sat down on the sofa in the room, looked at Xiao Yao with a smile and said, "People are looking for you to be the director, but you write scripts for others, but you really have you." It's a rare opportunity to make a short film for BMW, is your job in China very important?

"I don't have much work these days," Xiao Yao poured two glasses of water and handed one to Mu Ying, then sat down on the sofa opposite him and said, "But in more than a week, a TV series I participated in the screenwriting will be broadcast, and I will have promotional activities to participate in at that time, and I may have to appear on variety shows." BMW's short film project will not be approved until it is approved by their high-level discussions, and with the preliminary preparations, I think it will take at least a week to start. At that time, it probably happened to clash with the time when I was promoting the TV series. ”

Xiao Yao is talking about the "Brightest Star in the Night Sky", the filming and post-production were completed last year, and the broadcast rights were sold at the beginning of the year. At the film viewing meeting at the beginning of the year, the four satellite TV stations jointly purchased the first round of broadcast rights, and after coordinating the schedule, the TV series was scheduled to be broadcast in late March, and the producer and these local satellite TVs will also have a series of promotional activities at that time. took out his notebook and put it on the coffee table in front of the sofa and opened it.

The reason why Ye Jiaying did not accompany Xiao Yao to this film festival, and did not go to Shencheng to participate in Xiao Yao and Yin Xi's brand conference in advance like Xiao Siqi, was because as the person in charge of Qi Jia's studio, she had to negotiate with Winter Sunshine and four local satellite TV stations to confirm the promotion of TV dramas. Although Xiao Yao only made a cameo appearance in one scene, he is not even a supporting actor, but as one of the screenwriters of this show, he is also considered a good publicity point. Ye Jiaying had already mentioned to Xiao Yao that she wanted to arrange for him to participate in promotional activities after the TV series started. When "Lingyunzhi" was broadcast, Xiao Yao participated in promotional activities, and this time it was a TV series in which he had a share of investment, and of course Xiao Yao readily agreed.

"You also wrote the script of a TV series?" Mu Ying asked in surprise, "Write and act yourself?"

"No," Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "That TV series was filmed last year, and there are more than 30 episodes, but I'm not good enough to do that." I'm just one of the two screenwriters, and by the way, I made a cameo in it for a soy sauce character who didn't even have a name. The director of the TV series is director Sun Zhihao, who is very famous in China, not me. ”

"It's just one of the co-screenwriters, so your publicity weight shouldn't be heavy, so I pushed it," Mu Yingdao, "I think the opportunity for this advertising director is much more important than your promotion of the TV series." ”

"It was a TV series that our studio had an investment in, and I promised my mom a long time ago. Xiao Yao shook his head and said, "And the director and protagonist are also very close to me, I can't and don't want to push." ”

"Then you don't have to explicitly refuse now," Mu Ying said, "You said that BMW's short film project will take at least a week, but in my opinion, it is not impossible to start in a month, in case your promotional activities have ended when filming starts, then aren't you idle and have nothing to do, and wasted an opportunity?"

"As long as I want to, I can find something to do. Xiao Yao smiled, "Besides, I'm still a student and I'm still in school." ”

"I'm also a student, so you still recommend me to be the director of short films?" Mu Yingdao.

"Graduate students are not the same as undergraduates... Hmmm..."Xiao Yao was halfway through speaking, seeing Mu Ying's contemptuous eyes, and then smiled bitterly, "Okay, actually, I do think that I may not be able to make BMW's short films now, I'm not sure, so I don't want to make them." ”

"You don't want to shoot, so let me go! Mu Ying rolled her eyes and said.

"Didn't you say that you don't have any directing opportunities in the United States? It's not bad to practice with this," Xiao Yao said with a smile, "Although it's an advertisement, it's actually a short film." With BMW's strength, they should invite a big-name star to play the leading role. The opportunity to direct big-name stars, don't tell me you don't want to. ”

"What's the use of wanting to?" Mu Ying said, "You just recommend it, and BMW may not let me shoot it." And the bigger the actor, the less chance I have of being a director. ”

"That's why I left you behind," Xiao Yao said, "help me improve the script together, so that you have a better chance." ”

"There is such a reasonable reason for people to help," Mu Ying smiled with a thumbs up, "Admire!"

The two were chatting when Xiao Yao's mobile phone suddenly rang again. Xiao Yao took it out and found that it was an unfamiliar phone number.

"You won't come to me to shoot another advertisement, right?" Xiao Yao picked up the phone suspiciously.

This time, it was not that any company wanted to find Xiao Yao to shoot an advertisement, but the person in charge of a well-known video website in Europe called, wanting to ask Xiao Yao to buy the online broadcast rights of the short film "The Tuner".

Xiao Yao was naturally very interested in the things that could be made of money, and immediately expressed his willingness to sell the online broadcast rights of "Tuner". However, Xiao Yao didn't plan to participate in the specific bargaining process in person, this time the party still came over to do this, so after he made an appointment with the other party to meet and negotiate tomorrow, he went to the next door and knocked on Fang Yi's door, notified and asked him to be responsible for the negotiation with the other party tomorrow.

Since there is going to be a negotiation about the sale of the Internet broadcast rights tomorrow, it is definitely impossible to let others fly to Huaxia to negotiate, so the original plan to return to Huaxia tomorrow has to be postponed. Just when Fang was still about to call the airline to change the ticket, Xiao Yao's mobile phone rang again. Xiao Yao answered the phone and found that it was a call from another well-known European video website, the purpose of which was also to buy the online broadcast rights of "The Tuner".

It seems that the title of "Most Popular Audience Award" is starting to work, so that things have to be discussed. Xiao Yao estimated that there might be similar calls today and tomorrow, so he simply set up call forwarding on his mobile phone, forwarded all the incoming calls directly to Fang Yi, asked her to deal with the matter, and then went back to his room.

"Congratulations. After Xiao Yao came back, Mu Ying, who knew what was going on, said with great envy.

"Thank you! When the script is done, please drink!" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

As he was talking, Xiao Yao's mobile phone suddenly sent out a prompt sound of "ding", Xiao Yao checked it and found that the mobile phone showed that the bound mailbox had received a new email.

"BMW sent the information. Xiao Yao opened his laptop, clicked on the email and looked at it. Then he connected the computer to the printer in the room, printed out the information and handed it to Mu Yingdao, "You can take a look at it first, and then we will think about how to show the characteristics of the vehicle in the short film." ”

"Okay, then let's start work!" Mu Ying took over the information and said, "I won't leave tonight, I've got the script done, let's continue to drink and celebrate." ”

The two worked until the early hours of the morning before finally finishing the script. Xiao Yao added Mu Ying's name to the finished script and sent it to Martin Groz. Mu Ying also sent some of his more proud works and some storyboard designs for Xiao Yao's script to Martin Groz's mailbox, striving for the opportunity to direct this short film for himself. After that, the two of them moved all the wine out of the mini wine cabinet in the room, and discussed the scripts of the next few BMW movies while drinking.

When Fang Yi and Pei Minyi knocked on Xiao Yao's door the next day, Xiao Yao, who was woken up by the doorbell, opened his eyes and found that he and Mu Ying were both dressed crookedly on the sofa, and on the coffee table in front of him was a pile of scattered empty wine bottles.

Xiao Yao yawned loudly, rubbed his eyes and opened the door, and after finding that it was Fang Yi and Pei Minyi, he turned his head back to the room and leaned back on the sofa again.

"I took a few more calls last night, in addition to the video sites in Europe, there are also video sites in the United States that have contacted me, all to buy the online broadcast rights of your short film, I made an appointment with them to talk one by one, and changed the ticket to five days later. Fang still followed Xiao Yao into the room, walking as he went.

"Oh, got it!" Xiao Yao said as he leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes.

"How much did you drink last night?" Fang still said as he looked at Mu Ying, who was still asleep on the sofa, and the pile of empty wine bottles on the coffee table.

"That's all!" Xiao Yao pointed to a dozen small empty wine bottles on the coffee table, "The mini wine cabinet is here, but we didn't buy it or ask the hotel to send it, and there are not many in total." ”

"Then can you go and talk to the people on the website about the broadcast rights together in the morning?" Fang still asked again. The mini wine cabinet in the hotel room is full of the kind of wine in small bottles of tens of milliliters, although the dozen or so bottles on the coffee table look scary, it really has to be calculated, in fact, it is about two bottles of ordinary 750 milliliters, and the two of them drink separately, Xiao Yao drank one bottle and didn't get up to the point where he couldn't get up.

"Yes, but I don't want to go. Xiao Yao still closed his eyes and said, "It's better for you to take Minyi with you." I squinted for a while, and when Mu Ying woke up and left, I had to go out to do other things. ”

"Anything else?" Fang still said, "What else do you have?"

"Play. Xiao Yao said, "You have all been playing for four or five days, and I have only played for half a day." I don't care about this bargaining thing, and it's not good to leave you to go back to China alone, of course, to find a place to play. ”

"Where are you going to play?" Pei Minyi said, "Why don't I accompany you, anyway, I don't necessarily need to follow me when I go to that kind of business negotiation." ”

"I'm going to ask Kira to learn how to skydive, will you go too?" Xiao Yao said with a smile.

"Uh..." Pei Minyi thought of the exciting skydiving experience, and immediately hesitated.

"Kira's club is qualified to train and issue skydiving licenses. Xiao Yao said, "After 10 hours of training and completing 25 independent skydives, you can get the most basic skydiving license, and you don't have to be a native, foreigners can also take the test there." Kira said that the fastest student in their club got their skydiving license in a week, and I was going to take it in five days. If you do, you'll have to get your license like me. ”

"Forget it, I'm still with Sister Yi. Pei Minyi said immediately.

It wasn't until about ten o'clock in the morning that Mu Ying woke up from the sofa. After a brief wash, Mu Ying said goodbye to Xiao Yao and left. Unlike Xiao Yao, who still has the right to broadcast online, Mu Ying booked a flight back to the United States at night.

After sending Mu Ying away, Xiao Yao took a shower, called Teacher Cui in China to ask for another five days off, and then contacted Kira Bea and went to her family's skydiving club.

After three days of comparison and negotiation, Fang still successfully sold the online broadcast rights of "The Tuner" to a British video website and an American video website. Inspired by this, Xiao Yao also canceled the original plan to upload the short film to the domestic video website for free, and planned to return to China, so that Fang still sold the domestic online broadcast rights of the short film, and with the award and honor in hand, it should also be able to sell at a good price.

Two days later, Fang and Pei Minyi, who were fine, followed Xiao Yao to the skydiving club. Of course, they will not go to take the parachute diving license like Xiao Yao, but purely go to watch from the sidelines. Watching Xiao Yao practice on the ground for two or three hours a day, and then jumping off the plane six or seven times, both of them felt tired and panicked.

After five days of hard training and practice, Xiao Yao got his D-level skydiving license as he wished, and returned to China with Fang Yi and Pei Minyi with satisfaction.

After returning to Shencheng, Xiao Yaopin took two days off from class, which can be regarded as a two-day rest. Then after receiving Ye Jiaying's notice, he asked for leave from the school again and flew to Xiangnan with Pei Minyi. This time, he is going to Shonan Satellite TV to participate in an interview and game variety show - "Happy Camp".

Like "Everyday Upward", this is also a show with the same name and similar to the previous life, but it just changed a group of hosts who were different from the previous life. It is still one of the two major variety show ace programs of Shonan Satellite TV in the world.

The recording of "Happy Camp" is scheduled to be carried out on Thursday afternoon, although Xiao Yao has no obsession with asking for leave after going to college, but after all, he has taken almost three weeks of leave before, in line with the principle of taking one less day off, Xiao Yao arrived at noon on Thursday in Shonan Long Yarn, was picked up by the program team from the airport to the hotel, put down the luggage, and hastily ate lunch, Xiao Yao and Pei Minyi rushed to the Shonan TV building non-stop.

There are a total of five guests in this episode of the show, saying that in addition to Xiao Yao, the other four guests are the four leading actors in this TV series, Zhao Rui, Zhu Zitong, Xu Fei and Ye Xing.

Xiao Yao was the last of the five to arrive. After entering the guest lounge under the leadership of the program team staff, Xiao Yao also met these friends who had not seen him for a long time.
