285 I took it!
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door.
The Filipino maid walked over and helped open the door.
"Uncle. ”
Wang Fei walked in.
"Ah Fei, what is the matter with you looking for me so late?"
Zhou Yaomin stood up,
After waiting for Wang Fei to come over, the two of them sat on the sofa.
"I was just drinking with a friend on Temple Street and he told me an offer that I thought I should talk to you about. ”
"What a proposal. ”
"Let's suspend the filming of [The Wandering Earth] and change to other genres. ”
"No way!"
didn't want to think about it, Wang Yaomin refused.
Aside from the screenwriter of "The Wandering Earth", it is Meng Ke,
Their plan to enter the entertainment industry over the years has been stuck in place, and this filming is the first step of their plan.
Give up now?
How could it be!
"No, uncle, listen to me, that's what Lao Meng told me,
He said that the filming of [The Wandering Earth] requires a lot of investment, and if we don't shoot well, we will actually lose money.
It's better to change your thinking, use low-cost movies to raise capital, and finally shoot "The Wandering Earth". ”
After a pause, Wang Fei said all of Meng Ke's thoughts.
"So, Meng Ke gave you the plan?"
Wang Yaomin's eyes lit up,
Meng Ke just won the Best Screenplay Award at the Academy Awards.
Now he is in the limelight in the industry, although there is a little unpleasantness in the middle, but there are many people who want to cooperate with him.
It's just that in the investment community, this kind of robbery is still carried out secretly.
After all, the face of the Yu family also has to be taken into account.
Only if Du Zewen has water in his head will he want to anger the people of the Yu family,
Do you really think that there is a big guy like Guo Ruifeng behind him?
Don't look at what era it is, just those resources in his hands can compete with the Yu family?
After the Academy Awards, the Yu family has hinted a lot in the circle, one of which is that they will never cooperate with Du Zewen.
Now I don't know how many investors will walk around when they see Du Zewen,
As for those celebrities who have turned into bosses, they don't need to care too much about it at all.
The capital of these people is not enough in the eyes of these capitalists.
That's what he said. ”
"So what did he say he was going to shoot?"
"It's said to be an old boy. ”
"Crazy Boy?"
Zhou Yaomin put his hands on his cheeks, "This theme is not a good theme, our current Hong Kong film and television are all on the side of justice,
And...... Crazy boy, what's there to shoot?"
Wang Fei laughed, "I told him the same way, but, Lao Meng said to me,
The theme of the old boy is because no one has filmed it, so he can give it a try, and this time he wrote the script himself,
Raising dramas with dramas, in addition to the cost investment, all the income is used as the investment of [The Wandering Earth], and he can even take out 200 million yuan to support these dramas. ”
Zhou Yaomin looked at Wang Fei, pursed his lips and didn't speak.
The theme of the old boy is too tricky,
Hong Kong used to have the existence of the old boy, but that was before the handover,
After the return, these groups almost non-existent, and it is not that no one in the market has excavated this subject.
But what is there to write about a bunch of thugs?
So in the end, the theme of the old boy was finally shelved and shelved, pressing the bottom of the box.
Now, Meng Ke has actually proposed this theme again......
"I heard that Yu Entai and they have gone back, didn't they continue to cooperate?"
"I don't think I have heard of this yet.
Maybe you want to take a break. “
Wang Fei replied with some puzzlement.
"You let me think about it. “
Zhou Yaomin's tone was flat and did not show anything.
However, Wang Fei can also see that his uncle is still struggling with whether to cooperate or not.
The question just now is actually very clear.
That is, since Meng Ke's creativity is so powerful, why did Yu Entai, who has worked with him many times, not make a move, is it because Meng Ke just won the award and wants to pit himself.
"Uncle, in this way, how about I borrow the later stage of the company?
It's our investment, as for this movie, I've been in the late stage for so long,
Give it a try, I am the director of this film, in this way, our later stage is equivalent to investment, I don't want a penny, if it's good, we can still shoot [The Wandering Earth],
Oh no, the company has nothing to lose. “
Seeing Zhou Yaomin's thoughts, Wang Fei simply took out all the things in his heart.
Although he doesn't know much about the theme of the old boy, according to his understanding of Meng Ke, this wave must be earned, invest as soon as possible and make a fortune as soon as possible.
He didn't have much money in his hand, but he could still take out one or two hundred million, and it was not very expensive in the later stage, and for Zhou Yaomin's company, his proposal did not have any loss.
However, Zhou Yaomin still shook his head, "Ah Fei, don't be too anxious,
Let's talk about this tomorrow, and go back today and rest early. “
"Okay, then I'll go first. ”
It didn't make sense, Wang Fei was not reluctant, stood up, and he walked out of Zhou Yaomin's villa.
……
Hotel.
Meng Ke is still writing the script.
After returning from Temple Street, he never stopped,
This time, the content of the script is more than the usual word count,
Writing more than 100,000 words a week, he has to have 20,000 or 30,000 tasks a day.
Cracking sound.
Until eleven o'clock,
After writing nearly 10,000 words, Meng Ke closed the computer and went to sleep.
As for Wang Fei's side, he is not in a hurry, he communicates slowly, it's okay, if it's okay, he can't do it himself.
……
The next day.
Early in the morning, my mother's call came.
"Hey, Mom. ”
"Son, when will you come back?"
"In two days. ”
"I see on the Internet, you're in trouble in Hong Kong?"
Mom and Dad are not always online, so after two days at the Academy Awards, I only knew about the situation on Meng Ke's side.
So I hurriedly called.
"It's all over, it's okay, it's just one or two clowns jumping off the beam, don't worry about you and my dad, I'll go back in two days." ”
Meng Ke comforted his mother.
"Remember to call if you have anything, come back early, and remember to take care of yourself over there. ”
"Well, good. ”
Hanging up the phone, Meng Ke began to code.
After writing nearly 10,000 words in front of the computer,
Only then did he start to help Yu Hong and them buy things.
One person definitely can't handle it, so Meng Ke directly called Wang Fei.
Kowloon.
Mong Kok.
Causeway bay.
Two big men ran around these things,
At noon, Wang Fei and Meng Ke were tired and almost lay down and sat in a milk tea shop to drink.
"Old Meng, is there anything else?"
"And a list. ”
Meng Ke took out the second list,
Half a morning plus a noon, he has already spent nearly half a million,
Money is secondary, and the most important thing is that I am too tired to run from place to place,
Fortunately, Yu Hong, Song Lang, Chi Ze, and Shen Jiajia all listed these lists are a single model of the brand.
Therefore, when you get to the place, you can just get the goods.
"And a list? These people are crazy, aren't they?
It's estimated that it will cost more than two million to buy it back. ”
Wang Fei was speechless, especially when he saw Yu Hong's list, he was even more embarrassed.
This eldest lady is simply a shopaholic, just her things are not less today, two or three hundred thousand is enough to go out, but that's it, and!
"Okay, don't complain, let's get it easy and buy it quickly. ”
Meng Ke patted Wang Fei's shoulder,
The two big men simply took a sip of milk tea and continued to shop.
After buying everything in one day and mailing it back, Meng Ke and Wang Fei found a special snack bar and began to rest.
"Old Meng, how many days do you want to stay in Hong Kong?"
Before the meal came up, Wang Fei asked.
"I don't know, maybe a week, maybe a few days, just finish the script and leave. ”
Now, he has nothing to do in Hong Kong.
You can go back at any time, but once you move the place, the things of the script will be delayed.
In order to save time, he simply wrote the script first and then returned to the mainland.
"Script?
Isn't it, Lao Meng, you started writing the script so quickly?"
Wang Fei's eyes widened, and he underestimated with some worry in his heart, "My uncle hasn't agreed yet!"
Seeing Wang Fei's thoughts, Meng Ke smiled, "It's not yesterday's theme, it's something new, Old Yu, they will go back to prepare first, and I will go after writing the script." ”
"Do you want to cooperate with Yu Lao again? What is the theme this time?"
"I said the theme of Journey to the West, do you believe it?"
Raising the corners of his mouth, Meng Ke looked at Wang Fei with a smile.
And after he said this, the latter was directly stunned in place, and the whole person seemed to be stupid.
In his brain, Wang Fei only heard two words: Journey to the West, Journey to the West, Journey to the West, Journey to the West, Journey to the West, Journey to the West......
……
Five o'clock.
Meng Ke returned to the hotel.
Just after writing a few words, Wang Fei's call came.
"What's the matter. ”
"Lao Meng, your old boy, I filmed it!"
Rarely, Wang Fei did not drag mud and water, and went straight to the point.
"Hehehe, okay, but the script will have to wait for two or three days, and I'm still writing this drama. ”
"Good. ”
Happily hung up the phone, Meng Ke continued to write the script.
One day.
Two days.
Three days.
For the next week, Meng Ke didn't even get out of the door of his room.
April 20th.
The script is finally complete!
Pack.
Send.
Not long after, Meng Ke's > [Wang Wen]: Journey to the West?
[Lu Xing]: Journey to the West, this name is good!
[Chen Shan]: Hehe, Mr. Meng is really funny, talking about Journey to the West, the name is good.
[Li Jiecheng]: Received the script.
[Li Jiecheng]: ??? talk about Journey to the West? Mr. Meng, isn't this time filming according to the rules and regulations of Journey to the West?
[Zhang Qing]: Roger!
[Zhang Chuchu]: Teacher Meng, who can I play?
Looking at the message sent by Zhang Qing, Meng Ke showed an aunt-like smile,
That's right.
This time, he chose one of Stephen Chow's most classic comedies "Journey to the West"!
As the originator of comedy, Stephen Chow has too many representative works, the "Saint of Gambling" series, the costume series, and too many classics.
But with "Journey to the West" as the boundary,
Although the early comedies were also sold well and sold well, in general, the form of comedy was exaggerated and funny, which was quite comic.
To put it bluntly, comedy is comedy,
can't say it's bad, but compared with "Journey to the West", it lacks the core,
Since "Journey to the West", Stephen Chow's comedy road has embarked on the advanced road of expressing tragedy with comedy.
Since then, such advanced forms of expression can be seen in comedies such as "Kung Fu", "Journey to the West", "Mermaid", etc.,
It's obviously a comedy, it's obviously exaggerated and nonsensical, but it just makes people cry when they watch it, and sometimes they are silent and reflective.
If there is no SCC's "My Sassy Girlfriend" this time,
Maybe he will also choose Stephen Chow's early comedy to quickly seize the market,
But now the situation is not so relaxed,
In the front, there is the contempt of Hong Kong drug elements like Du Zewen, and there is the threat of SCC's "my savage girlfriend" in the back.
Coupled with the differences mentioned earlier, he can't help but fight a battle that he is not sure of.
Therefore, this time he chose "Journey to the West"!
Bite!
> [Yu Entai]: Xiao Meng, your script is so well written,
You just talk about the idea of the shooting venue, I will prepare, you don't have to worry about the post-production, actors, and production, my old man will do it for you for free!
"Thank you, Mr. Yu. ”
[Yu Entai]: You kid...... I really don't know what I want me to say about you, thank me? It should be that I thank you, this time the finished product comes out, and my old man is estimated to get the prize.
You can feel Yu Entai's excitement at the moment through the screen,
However, Meng Ke didn't dare to slack off, this time since he promised Wang Fei to use the drama to raise the drama, then he had to write the script!
I had a brief chat with Yu Entai again,
Meng Ke put down his phone and talked to Shen Jiajia about a video,
I haven't been back for a while, and I don't know how this chick is training.
soon
The video is on.
Shen Jiajia wiped the sweat on her head over there, "Eh, are you done?"
"Done, how is your training lately?"
"I'm still training, I'm exhausted,"
Shen Jiajia said breathlessly, and then switched the camera to the rear lens,
In the big martial arts training ground, a group of people in white practice uniforms are fighting each other.
There are also people who practice Tai Chi piles,
"I've been so busy these days, I don't have time to talk to you on video,"
The camera cut back again, and Shen Jiajia said with a smile, "How are you over there?"
"I just finished writing a drama and I'm going to write a second one. ”
"When will you be back?"
"Two or three more days. ”
The script of "Crazy Boy" is only a hundred thousand words.
Two or three days is enough.
"Well, then I'll wait for you, I guess when you come back, I'm going to take the big test, hehe, I'll be the grandmaster by then." ”
Speaking of grandmasters, Shen Jiajia's eyes were bright,
She is only 26 this year, but looking at Huaxia, there are very few people who have rushed to the grandmaster level at her age.
This incident definitely made her proud to death!
Moreover, after becoming a grandmaster,
It is equivalent to becoming a civil servant, with a lifelong income guarantee, and there is no need to worry about pension in the future.
Come to think of it, the gap between her and Meng Ke seems to be getting smaller and smaller!
The smile on Shen Jiajia's face also became sweet, and with the sweat on her face, the contrast felt a kind of stunning beauty.
"Stupid. ”
Meng Ke was amused.
"Hmph, aren't you stupid?"
"I'm not stupid, I'm smart. ”
"If you think too much, you don't! You're a big idiot!"
