Chapter 033: Change
"Xiao Jiao, this matter really has nothing to do with me, I'll ask, don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation. ”
Hearing Gu Xiaojiao's mocking words, Zhang Xuyang was stunned, and walked out of the dressing room after throwing down this sentence.
He is not an idiot, how could he do such a stupid thing, there must be another reason for this.
Gu Xiaojiao looked at Zhang Xuyang, who left angrily, and was also puzzled.
Although Zhang Xuyang stalks her, he still pays attention to proportion, and he is usually very mature in doing things, and this time such a shoddy thing is indeed a little different from his style.
But it is also possible that he is acting as a bitter trick, no matter what, it must have something to do with him.
Gu Xiaojiao didn't bother to think about this anymore, took out the script and read it silently, and prepared for the next shooting.
Half an hour passed quickly, not far from the start of filming, Gu Xiaojiao got up and picked up the script and walked outside the dressing room.
The assistant assigned to her by the crew has not seen anyone today, and eighty percent is because of the argument between her and the director just now.
Looking at those belongings, she simply picked up her big satchel, stuffed the script, makeup case and other things into it, and carried it to the shooting site by herself.
The more others bully you, the stronger you have to show them, otherwise you will only let others see jokes.
"Xiao Jiao, I'm sorry, I talked to the director just now, although this matter was not done by me, but it does have something to do with me. ”
As soon as he walked out of the dressing room, Zhang Xuyang, who was in a hurry, came over and explained in a low voice.
Gu Xiaojiao looked at each other with an idiot on his face.
Zhang Xuyang couldn't bear it: "Really, it's my mother who knows that I pursue you and lets the director take care of me, so Director Jia Jun made his own opinion, in short, I'm sorry, when we shoot later, the director won't say anything more, just shoot according to the original script." ”
"Oh, well. Gu Xiaojiao nodded flatly, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Xuyang, who looked apologetic, but he couldn't tell whether what he said was true or acting.
"What I said is true, don't worry, when I return to the imperial capital, I will definitely ask my mother to apologize to you. Zhang Xuyang said seriously again.
"There's no need, I have a boyfriend, this will only make people more misunderstood, no matter what, I still want to persuade you, you are so good, your family is good, there are so many people who like you, you still use your mind on others, I think senior sister Li Wei likes you a lot. ”
Gu Xiaojiao saw that the other party was very sincere, and his mood improved a lot, so he persuaded lightly.
"I won't force you to do anything, but it's my right to like someone, and even you don't have the right to ask me to give it up. Zhang Xuyang immediately said firmly.
"......" Gu Xiaojiao was too lazy to say anything, and strode forward.
This person grew up in the West, and his brain circuits are indeed different from those in China.
But there will be no trouble in filming later, which is a good thing no matter how you say it.
When she arrived at the filming site, director Jia Jun looked like she was fine, and continued to greet her warmly to prepare for filming.
Gu Xiaojiao didn't expect things to change so quickly, but he also looked calm, so he could only act as if it was nothing, walked to the front, and prepared to play with Zhang Xuyang first.
"Xiao Jiao, I'll take the bag for you, I'll lose it here, I ate it in the morning, and I've been in the toilet just now, I'm sorry. Don't worry, I'll show you something. ”
Gu Xiaojiao was just about to put the satchel on the props box next to her, when Xiaoling, the assistant arranged by the crew, ran over with a gust of wind and snatched her bag.
"Oh, it's okay, you better go get some medicine if you're upset. Gu Xiaojiao smiled faintly.
"Well, I just took two tablets of Haloperic Acid Buddha and it's fine. ”
“…… All right. Gu Xiaojiao didn't say anything more and walked to the camera.
She just wants to be an actress, but there are many people who are born to be actors.
Hehe, in order to survive, it is really not easy for everyone.
I don't know if Zhou Chen went to the United States to make a movie, I don't know how it is now?
………………
On Hollywood Avenue in Los Angeles, Zhou Chen and Zhang Kejia walked out of a building.
In addition to disappointment, the expressions of the two were also a little angry.
In the blink of an eye, 40 days have passed since Zhou Chen came to the United States, his work visa application was extended for a month, and after ten busy days and nights, he finally completed the post-production of "Witch Elisa".
"I obviously said that I would cooperate in the distribution of our films, but I really didn't expect the people of 'Witch Film Company' to change their minds and want to buy out our films for 300,000 yuan, they want to eat alone so much, and they are not afraid of choking to death. ”
As soon as Zhang Kejia walked out of the mountain, he couldn't help but scold angrily.
He was wearing glasses, and his delicate face looked deformed, which showed that he was really disgusted.
"They just saw us as two Asian faces and bullied us, it's okay, it's good that we didn't disclose the promotion plan of the film to each other, what we need to do now is to talk to other companies. ”
Zhou Chen took a long breath to calm down his mood and comfort his good friend.
Previously, he took the script and reached a cooperation intention with the 'Witch Film Company', and the other party promised that the movie would be made, and if he was satisfied, his movie would be released, and Zhou Chen started filming with confidence, but he didn't expect to complete the post-production of the film, and after showing it to the other party, people just wanted to sell it out, not cooperate in distribution.
They are now spending 200,000 US dollars on filming and marketing, and the price of 300,000 US dollars does allow them to earn some money, but Zhou Chen came all the way to the United States, but he did not work for others.
An extra $100,000 dollar barely meant anything to what he wanted to do.
"Okay, let's try other independent film companies, just find a genre film company similar to "Witch Films", I don't believe it, we are afraid that no one will know such a good movie? There are so many horror movies released in the North American market every year, and many people want to pressure us. ”
Zhang Kejia's mood calmed down and ignited his fighting spirit again.
"Well, let's get started now. ”
Zhou Chen looked at the building next to him, there were many small Hollywood studios on this street.
"Well, wait, I'll make a phone call and get Elken and Sendley to negotiate for us, you're right, we're really going to be discriminated against by those guys. ”
"Well, okay, let's go to the café over there and sit down. Zhou Chen nodded.
Elken was a Mexican student and was their set setman, while Sendeli was a sound engineer and a Jewish-American.
They have already collaborated on two films, so they are familiar and have a good relationship.
In the blink of an eye, another four days passed.
At half past two p.m. on August 20, the small screening room of the directing department at USCLA.
Zhou Chen, Zhang Kejia and others are preparing for the movie
This time, they didn't take the movie to watch the film one by one and then talk about cooperation, but went to dozens of film companies to introduce their movies and invited those from those film companies to watch the film.
They believe that people who come like this will be more sincere, and if they watch their movies and compete with each other, it will also be beneficial for them to negotiate cooperation in the future.
But now, seeing that it was three o'clock in the afternoon, the 15 film companies in the screening hall had made appointments, but now only nine came, which made Zhou Chen's heart rise again.
"Zhou Chen, look, that's someone from Lionsgate, right?" Zhou Chen was worried when Elken's voice sounded next to him.
"It seems that it is, I remember that the last time Professor Ram invited him to come to the school to watch "This Man is from Earth", he was the one who came, but I didn't expect them to come uninvited. ”
Before Zhou Chen could speak, Zhang Kejia couldn't help but say happily.
