Chapter 199: Hurry up and get a movie
Wang Bao didn't pay much attention to this "Nightclub" movie script, to be honest. Because he thinks that now is the era of blockbuster movies, and this kind of low-budget comedy does not necessarily work.
Another reason is that Wang Bao doesn't know if people in this world can accept this comedy structure in his previous life. Although when he told this story at the time, the people couldn't laugh. But who knows if there are more people cheering or more people laughing?
Regarding Wang Bao's character, although he is a very gentleman and decisive person most of the time, he seems to be a little hesitant in some things.
On this day, Wang Bao came back from recording a song from Lao Yang, and sang all day, feeling as if his throat was on fire. He drank tea to moisten his throat, and sat on his sofa tiredly, swiping the screen with his mobile phone in his hand.
Recently, he has been busy recording songs, and he hasn't paid much attention to the news from the outside world, so he simply came back early today, so he just watched the news.
As a star, in the entertainment industry, if you can't grasp these entertainment news in time, you will definitely be unqualified. Although there is usually a small assistant to help sort out some important news, Wang Bao still likes to watch the news by swiping his mobile phone.
After flipping through the news of the past two days, there was nothing particularly noteworthy, and just as he was about to turn off his mobile phone and wash and rest, the phone suddenly rang.
When I took it over, it turned out to be a call from Lei Lei.
"Brother Lei, aren't you busy today?"
"Xiaobao, what's the matter with your voice?
Lei Lei listened to Wang Bao on the phone and felt that his voice was a little hoarse, as if he had moved after catching a cold. So he asked Wang Bao with concern, because he knew that Wang Bao was recording a new album now, and he had to use his voice.
"It's not a big deal, I recorded a song for a day today, and my voice is a little tired. I finally finished recording this song today, and I can take a day off tomorrow and rest my throat. Wang Bao listened to Lei Lei's question, but he didn't take it seriously, so he said casually.
"Then you should also pay attention to the fact that you, the person who sings, still have a good voice. I remember who it was, oh, by the way, Marriott, how hot it was back then! Later, I didn't pay attention, my throat was ruined, and now I live by selling some feelings, and it's a miserable mix. So you have to be careful, unless you don't want to sing anymore. ”
Lei Lei muttered a lot silently, but Wang Bao didn't feel annoyed at all, he knew that this brother really cared about him, so he was still grateful.
"Thank you, Brother Lei! I remember, I must pay attention in the future, I still want to sing for the rest of my life, but I can't ruin my voice. Wang Bao said very gratefully, and then made a small joke.
"Okay, you're an expert yourself, I'm just worrying. Lei Lei saw that Wang Bao listened to it, and he ended the conversation. But when it came to another topic, he asked directly: "Well, last time we had a party, how did you write the script of the supermarket you said?"
Lei Lei's reminder, Wang Baocai reacted, although he smoothed out the outline and simply made the framework arrangement, but the rest was really not written. But he certainly couldn't say that, so he lied and said, "It's almost over, I guess I'll be done in three or two days." The main reason is that the recording of songs has not been smooth these days, and one song has been stuck, and it has not been recorded well. So I put off writing the script, but it's okay, the song was recorded today, and I was resting tomorrow, so I wrote the script at home. ”
After Wang Bao said this, he felt empty. But he estimated that it would not be a problem to write it in two days, after all, he knew the detailed plot of the movie.
"Don't worry! I'm just inquiring, you know, Xiao Luo is in a hurry, he has been dangling in front of him for the past two days, but he doesn't dare to say anything. But you say, can I guess his thoughts? You just have a letter, and I'll answer him tomorrow to calm his heart. Listening to Lei Lei's tone on the phone, he should be very helpless.
What do you say you can do? They are all good friends, and he can't watch and not help, so he can only contact him in the middle.
"Okay, Brother Lei, you tell Brother Luo, I'm almost done, I'll send it to you when I'm done, and then you ask him to find someone to polish it again." After all, I don't talk about professional screenwriters, and this book is a bit rushed in time. "Wang Bao knows his own level, if he works slowly, he will make me a good book. But if you work like this, then the book will inevitably be a little rough.
Therefore, you must find a professional to polish one or two, and then say that there are some things that are not suitable for this world, and they should be changed.
"Okay, this must be no problem, Xiao Luo knows a lot of screenwriters. They can't save the book themselves, change the book, polish it, and they can still do it. Hearing Wang Bao say this, Lei Lei was completely relieved, because he knew that what Wang Bao said was true, and he didn't fool him.
"Then Brother Lei, this is what you are doing, is there anything else?" Wang Bao didn't mean anything else when he asked, because he knew that Lei Lei was more verbose and had a bit of potential for chattering, so he wanted to hang up the phone quickly, but he didn't want to talk to him on the phone.
"Oh, yes! That's it!"
Lei Lei didn't expect Wang Bao to ask him this, so he was still a little stumbling for a while, and he said it a little unneatly.
"Oh, by the way! Xiaobao has another thing, I want to talk to you about it. It's that Xiao Luo has found a supermarket, and we can shoot in the chain store of that supermarket. Of course, it's not a big supermarket, it's a small supermarket that's open 24 hours a day. ”
Wang Bao didn't expect Luo Lian to be so happy, Xiaopang was really anxious.
"Who sponsors this supermarket?" Wang Bao asked curiously, but he regretted it a little after asking.
As he expected, as soon as Lei Lei heard this topic, he immediately came to his senses, and he said: "Xiaobao, let me tell you, this supermarket is a national chain. Recently, I want to open a new store in the suburbs, and it has just been renovated, but it has not yet opened, so it can be used as a shooting location. And then I'll tell you......"
A mistake in one sentence, as a result, Wang Bao accompanied Lei Lei to chat for another hour, and Wang Bao still hung up the phone when he was still unsatisfied.
Wang Bao has really worked hard in the past two days, and in order to get the script out, he also deliberately took an extra day off with Lao Yang. Lao Yang knew that his throat was tired, so he let him rest for two more days, rest his throat, and talk less.
This just met Wang Bao's intentions, and he wrote the script at home for two days. The whole script has a 95% degree of restoration, which is very good. After all, Wang Bao didn't bring the system with him, only his own memory remained, and he was a very powerful golden finger.
Then Wang Bao sent the written script to Lei Lei, and then he forwarded it to Luo Lian. After reading the script, Luo Lian said that it was very good, and then found someone to polish and change the book.
Three days later, Luo Lian and Lei Lei found Wang Bao and said that the matter was settled. Now I ask Wang Bao if he wants to invest, a total of about 5 million production costs, including the remuneration of their actors.
Although the cost of this matter is small, Wang Bao knows that their salaries are not cheap, so he asks why there are so few? Is it a DV film? Or are the actors all lowering their salaries?
In the end, after Luo Li'an's explanation, Wang Bao learned that Luo Fatzi had brought a lot of advertising sponsorships. It can be said that the five million budget offer is all overcalculated, and in the end, all the sponsorship is in place, and the cost of the movie can be recovered before it is released.
When Wang Bao saw such a good thing, of course he couldn't let it go, so he waved his hand: "Vote! And it's all voted!"
Then he contacted Song Jia, told him about it, and told him to get it right.
When Song Jia first received the call, he was a little confused. Why don't you make a movie without saying a word?
But anyway, it's a good thing, so he's very motivated to do it.
In this way, in less than half a month, Wang Bao and the others got a movie. From saving books, to attracting investment, finding sponsorships and filming venues, and actors, they are all already alive.
Now I'm waiting for a few of their actors to run out of time and start filming.
In the middle of the night, ask for a ticket!
