Egret Island, the sky is dim, and the rain is pouring down.

In the rain, a black sedan came from the east, turned in front of the bee community, and was stopped in front of the façade.

Glancing at the access control pole that he didn't plan to lift, the driver turned to look at the two passengers behind him, and said helplessly: "You two, I can only send you here." This side is very strict, and foreign vehicles are not allowed to enter, unless the owner comes forward. ”

In the back seat, a man and a woman were unbuckling their seat belts, and when they heard the words, they looked at each other and smiled, and the man opened his mouth to catch the conversation, "It is understandable, after all, the richest man lives here on Egret Island, and it is also appropriate to pay attention to safety." But we're not the owners here, so we can't let them go. ”

The driver was a little embarrassed, and today he accidentally received an order to go to the bee community, so he thought that he would just follow in to take a look, see the billionaire's mansion, and brag to relatives and friends in the future, but unfortunately the sky did not fulfill people's wishes. Now that his expectations are disappointed, he can only clean up his mood and complain: "That's right, the richer people are, the more afraid they are of death, so it's better for us to be poor, no one cares." ”

"Driving a car of more than 200,000 yuan, and still saying that you are poor?" secretly complained in his heart, the man put away his mobile phone and pushed the car door, "Then let's do it, let's just go in by ourselves, goodbye master!"

"Wait! There is an umbrella on the back of the chair, scan the code to use, five cents and half an hour, and hang it outside when it is used up, which is quite convenient. ”

The man stopped, looked at the umbrella in the net pocket on the back of the chair, estimated the size, and asked with a smile, "That's right, it's okay for me to take two, right?"

"Of course it's no problem, even if you take it back and don't pay it back, it's no problem, people are actually making advertising money. ”

The man got out of the car with an umbrella first, and then naturally turned to the other side to open the car door for the woman, holding an umbrella in one hand and holding his waist in the other hand and walking towards the entrance control of the community.

Seeing the two leave, the Didi driver restarted the car and left the gate of the community.

He doesn't pay much attention to movie news, but he doesn't know that the lady who just got out of his car is actually a well-known screenwriter, and his first work "33 Days of Broken Love" won 350 million box office, and won the Golden Horse Best Adapted Screenplay Award, and the second work "Waiting for the Wind" also had a box office of 80 million. And the man next to her is her husband, and the new film "Flash Girl" filmed by the two is about to be released, and this visit to Ludao is at the invitation of Tang Jiayi.

If you know these two people, the driver only needs to take a few photos and send them to the paparazzi studio, and you can get a large amount of reporting fees.

Similarly, if those two knew the necessary publicity and hype skills, they should have contacted the paparazzi to ambush them in advance and accurately "capture" the photos of them entering the bee community, and it would have been better if they could have taken photos of the meeting with Tang Jiayi from afar. Of course, doing so will inevitably cause disgust from the bee proprietress and will have some negative effects in the future.

However, they didn't know this, they collected the umbrella under the gate of the community, and the couple swiped their mobile phones through the passage turnstile, and then they were invited by the security guards to get into an unmanned battery car and be sent to the front of a green building.

Creeper vines crawl all over the walls, obscuring the original color of the walls, and the thin rain lines hitting the dense leaves make a rustling sound like cannibalizing mulberries, which has a unique taste.

The woman stopped, tilted her head and admired it for a while, comparing the style of this big house with her own small courtyard in her heart, and then raised her chin contentedly, "Let's go, husband!"

Ascending the steps and entering the porch, a closed door appears in front of you, and there is an access control intercom on the side. Pressing a button, someone soon opened the door and greeted them, ushered them in, and took them to a guest lounge with sofas and refreshments, and motioned for them to trim up slightly.

After washing my face, I simply painted myself with makeup, and after looking at it, I felt that there was no problem, the woman walked out of the attached bathroom and threw herself on the sofa very unvividly, "This time I'm really tired, wait for the movie to draw, I must go out for a wave in the second half of the year, and make up for the lost time!"

Hearing this, the small-eyed man suddenly stopped doing it, and asked rhetorically: "Do you want to compensate for it?" You just left our grandfather and walked outside for a few months, why are you going to wave again?"

Giggling, the woman tilted her head, "No way, this kind of thing is addictive." Besides, there are a lot of attractions that are dying, like Malta's 'Blue Window', which is now gone. ”

The blue window is a rock arch formed by the erosion of limestone by the sea, which eventually collapsed and disappeared some time ago due to the deepening of the erosion.

"Okay, I really can't help you," the man nodded helplessly, "but you must take us this time, you are not allowed to fly solo!"

"No problem, as long as the box office of the movie is 400 million, I will allow you to go out with me. ”

"400 million?

"Why don't you dare?" the woman pointed to herself quite naturally, "The first movie I wrote took 350 million at the box office, counting inflation or something, how can it be 400 million this time." If you work hard, 500 million is not impossible. ”

The man also refused to let go, "But your second movie is less than 80 million." ”

Seeing that his wife was a little speechless, the man continued: "So I think as long as the box office can exceed 80 million, we should be secretly happy, at least we can be regarded as surpassing Director Teng, right?"

"Oh! the goal is so low!" the woman looked her man up and down, "Although you, a rookie director, are a little wet, but we have stories and audiences, and the market has long been tired of watching the four-piece set of youth films of first kiss, cheating, abortion, and love triangle, and then I will give them new things, and there is no reason why they can't sell it." ”

"Wow!" Learning the other party's tone, the man complained: "You are too confident, what is the flash girl? rookie director, rookie actor, new IP, niche theme, and the title of the pit father, if I can pass 100 million, I will change to burn high incense and make a wish." ”

"What's wrong with the name? I think it's a good name, it's very general. ”

The man rolled his eyes, "Don't you think this name looks like a cartoon? Besides, the movie takes such a pink name, there are no breasts, no thighs, no hormones, just wait for the male and elderly audiences to take a detour!"

Hearing this, the woman inhaled and pouted and was about to refute, but she heard a knock on the door behind her.

Looking back, I saw a beautiful lady in a long aqua blue dress standing by the door, but it was the hostess who had arrived.

Seeing the two of them turning their heads to look at themselves in unison, Tang Jiayi smiled, "Sister Jingjing, Brother Wang, let's meet again." Riddled with miscellaneous things, there is a loss of welcome, I really can't stand the two of you!"

"No, no, it's because we're late, so we should apologize to you!"

Shaking her head, Tang Jiayi pointed outside, "It's raining so hard, I almost thought you wouldn't be able to come, but I'm already very happy to be able to get here." ”

"The big boss speaks, do we dare to come?"

Tang Jiayi smiled and waved her hand, correcting: "Sister Jingjing, you are wrong, everyone is equal in this project, and you are also the boss." ”

"Well, so we have to work together to sell a good result," Bao Whale echoed, and looked at her husband teasingly.

"That's right," Madame Ma nodded, "That's why I invited you two over, I just hope you don't blame me for being abrupt." ”

"No, no, it's all for the sake of the movie!" The director and the writer shook their heads together, but they were very disapproving.

The wife is the screenwriter and the husband is the director, "Flash Girl" is like another child of the two, but unfortunately this child does not belong to him completely. The project is said to be jointly invested by its own studio and Bee Pictures, Erzhan Film and Television, GYZ Clothing, and Liang Qiaopeng's Dashen Music, but the middle three are completely one, and Dashen Music is also 70% owned by Jiajing Holdings, four to one, and the right to speak for his husband and wife is actually the smallest.

Regardless of the director-centered system or the producer-centered system, investors with money bags in their hands always have the final right to speak, and those super bad movies and bad dramas that look weird often have traces of intervention by investors from all walks of life, especially layman bosses. Investors stuffed actors, changed scripts wildly, and finally messed up the project but let the director, screenwriter and leading actor be scolded, which can be said to be the scourge of the film industry, but they can't do without these scourges, after all, film and television investment is getting bigger and bigger, and it is too risky to rely on yourself too much.

At that time, the two were still rejoicing, and found a sensible investor, only added a bunch of drones to the actor, transformed him into a pilot and a technical nerd, and then added a bass ruan to the "2.5 Dimensional Band", so they let it go, and did not do much entanglement in the actors and scripts.

However, it turned out that they were still happy too early, and when the film was completed and about to be released, trouble came to the door. After watching the finished film edited by Wang Ran, Tang Jiayi said that she was not very satisfied, and said that she wanted to recut all the materials and let people recut them. The two of them came to the Egret Island Horse House in the rain this time, and they were invited by her to watch the re-edited movie.

The two of them said that they didn't care, but Tang Jiayi knew that it was just a kind word, thought about it, and repeated the previous promise, "Don't worry, this version is still in a state of secrecy, and no one in the outside world knows about it." If you two are not satisfied after watching it, you will still use your version for the public version. ”

In other words, if you are satisfied, you will let go and accept the fact that you have been deprived of the final editing rights.

In fact, the reason why Hollywood commercial films pursue the policy of separating "directing rights" and "editing rights" is also based on science. Let go and let the director edit by himself, it is inevitable that he will not be able to do it because of the "parental complex", and he feels that this scene is very meaningful, and the dialogue is full of deep meaning, and it is easy to talk to himself, exceed the length standard, and loose plot. Allowing producers to control the editing rights can usually effectively avoid these problems, and most of the producers are well-versed in the film industry, and the "other people's children" are not distressed when trimmed, which can well control the final shape of the film and ensure that the commercial value is maximized.

Of course, there are also cases where the knife is too ruthless, and the god film is cut into a bad movie, and the director's cut version can only be relied on to save the scene. But those are only a few after all, Hollywood still believes in the producer system, and some producer films have appeared in the Chinese film industry one after another, and Bee Pictures' works in recent years are among them, and now they want to start with "Flash Girl".

After slightly calming the emotions of the two, Tang Jiayi smiled and stretched out her hand, "The movies are ready, Sister Jingjing and Brother Wang, please come here." By the way, you didn't bring any kids with you this time?"

"What are you doing with children?" Ms. Bao smiled heartily, "I like to separate work and life, work is work, and if I have children around, I can't concentrate on work." ”

Behind her, Wang Ran pursed his lips disapprovingly, and ruthlessly debunked: "In fact, it's inconvenient to go out with children." ”

"It's really inconvenient for children to go out, but it's also good to come out and meet strangers, especially people of other races, so it's not easy to be ......face blind when they grow up."

The screening room was on the first floor, and the three of them chatted while walking, and soon arrived at their destination.

Looking at the professional metal screen covering an entire wall, as well as the cinema-level laser projector behind it, Wang Ran couldn't help but be a little speechless, "It's all professional equipment, you guys are really trenches!"

Tang Jiayi explained with a smile: "It's inconvenient for us to go to the cinema to watch a movie, so we have to get one at home." It's a pity that the floor height of this building is limited, and it can't hang too big a screen. ”

Wang Ran shook his head, "It's already very good, the configuration of the VIP hall of the luxury theater is at this level, no matter how big it is, it's actually a bit of a waste." ”

The robot waiter with the characteristics of the horse house rushed in, bringing drinks and dried fruits and snacks to the three of them, and then the lights went out in turn, and the beams of light shot out from behind them, lighting up the screen.

After the producer's intro, a drone overhead shot of the music school appeared on the screen, showing young people in school uniforms practicing, going to and from class, and playing, showing the whole picture of the Qingqing campus in front of the three people. Immediately afterward, the camera suddenly descended, stopped at the height of the person's face and began to move forward horizontally, looking for targets all over the campus.

At the same time, the list of directors, producers, music directors and other core characters hidden in various parts of the campus has also been revealed.

This aerial long shot was there before, so the crew charged a large amount of implantation fees for the bee drone.

In the end, the picture focuses on the girl with unkempt hair and strange images in glasses, and the annotation [Chen Jing: a student of the Chinese music class of the middle school attached to the music academy, known as "nerve" in the rivers and lakes] appeared next to it.

Next, it was the scene of Chen Jing confessing to the school grass master under the gaze of the drone, but he was ridiculed and humiliated by the Western music class.

Glancing at his wife, Wang Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, the picture and plot have not changed much.

However, he soon discovered a new difference, and the next step should be Chen Jing's search for allies everywhere, forming a "2.5 Dimensional Folk Band", and finally successfully counterattacking the bloody youth story. There are no major changes to the plot of the new version, but the details have changed a lot, the shots have been re-edited, the sense of rhythm has become more obvious, and the degree of cooperation with the background music and interludes has also been enhanced, and many small plots have been deleted and twisted, which looks more smooth and sensitive.

Unconsciously, his slightly wrinkled eyebrows had been loosened, and Wang Ran had to write the word "service" in his heart, and at the same time sighed, it seems that his editing rights cannot be kept after all, and the director's cut DVD does not need to be released - the gap is too big, and it is just asking for trouble when it is released.

He only had one question now, "Who is this mysterious unnamed editor, and will you be able to meet him?"

"I'm afraid I can't," Tang Jiayi shook her head, "That guy is not an insider at all, I promised a lot of conditions to let him make a move, and he is not in Ludao now." ”
