Chapter 449: Fight
Song Zheng made a straight face and looked at the cramped and restless middle-aged man sitting opposite him, if he wasn't sure that the person in front of him was Li Yang, who filmed "Blind Well" and "Blind Mountain" in his previous life, he would probably let people throw this guy out.

Li Yang really regrets it now, in order to make the movie "Blind Mountain", in order to complete one of his dreams, he forgot how long he worked hard, the script has been completed a long time ago, but because there is no funding, the filming plan of the movie has been stranded.
During this period, Li Yang found a lot of financiers, and some people did express their liking for his script, but because of the subject matter involved in the script, few people were willing to invest.
There are often friends who recommend investors to him, and every time they meet, they have to accompany others to drink, and for more than a year, the wine he drinks has to be calculated according to tons, but the investment has not been drawn.
From the very beginning of the big production, to now resigned to fate, the shooting plan has been compressed into a small cost, but this is the case, as soon as those people hear the content of the movie he wants to make, they slip faster than rabbits one by one.
Today, Li Yang went to meet a big boss who is said to be particularly rich, and that person came up with how much he loves film art, and he will not hesitate to go bankrupt for the sake of film art.
Li Yang was also excited, but in the end of the conversation, the big boss found a beautiful woman in scantily clad clothes and took two photos with him, and then he was upset.
Li Yang held back his anger, just at this time, Song Zheng called, and he immediately regarded Song Zheng as one of the liars he had seen before, and scolded him.
As a result, he almost scolded Song Zheng, the God of Wealth, but fortunately, Song Zheng made up his mind to film this scene, so he held back his anger and called again, this time after Wang Baoqiang's explanation, Li Yang knew that he had scolded the wrong person, and hurriedly came to apologize.
For this drama, Li Yang can be said to have suffered an old sin, and he finally looked at it with a little hope, even if he had to bite the bullet!
"Song ~~~~ total!"
Regarding the title of Song Zheng, Li Yang pondered for a long time, it is said that Song Zheng is also a director, and it is no problem to call Director Song, but Song Zheng is now in his eyes, and the only identity is the big money owner, and it seems more appropriate to call Mr. Song.
"I ~~~~~ that just now~~~~ I'm sorry!"
Song Zheng waved his hand and interrupted Li Yang's words, he met Li Yang today, not to listen to him apologize, although he liked Li Yang's works very much, but he still felt a little awkward about some of this person's practices during the filming of the movie.
In his previous life, the actors who participated in the filming of "Blind Well", Wang Baoqiang, Li Yixiang, and Li Shuangbao, who had cooperated with Song Zheng in "Balzac and the Little Tailor", all disclosed that Li Yang had never told them before the filming of the movie that the location they were going to shoot was a black coal kiln.
But after that time passed, the contract had been signed, part of the salary was taken, and the black coal kiln hired a group of thugs, so it was easy not to let people go out, they just couldn't leave if they wanted to, and they really liked the story, so they forced themselves to finish the filming.
Of course, Song Zheng can also understand Li Yang's approach, after all, he finally brought in investment, found all the actors, and finally made the movie, if it was because of these reasons, the movie was yellow, and his hard work for so long would be in vain.
Later, Wang Baoqiang said that at the crew's finale banquet, Li Yang carried a bottle of liquor, followed the actors one by one, the staff apologized, drank to the end, and went directly to the hospital because of stomach bleeding.
But even so, Song Zheng still feels that some of this person's practices are too inauthentic, the crew and the actors themselves are in an employment relationship, and before signing the contract, the actual situation should be explained clearly.
However, this movie has to be made by Li Yang, if it were someone else, even Jia Zhangke, who is the best at this kind of realistic theme, I am afraid that he will not be able to make the feeling that is so depressed that it can drive people crazy.
After sorting out his mood, Song Zheng opened his mouth and said: "Director Li! What happened before, it was all a misunderstanding, I don't care, please come over today, it's mainly about the movie!"
Li Yang could hear a little unfriendliness from Song Zheng's tone, if it had been in the past, he would definitely get up and leave directly, others are arrogant, he Li Yang's arrogance is even stronger, but now it can't be done, for this movie, he has been pretending to be a grandson for others these days.
"Mr. Song, you say, I'll listen!"
Song Zheng was stunned for a moment, Li Yang's low posture really surprised him: "Oh! Okay! That's it, I'm very interested in this script, I heard Baoqiang say just now, you haven't won the investment yet." ”
Li Yangku's face was bitter, and he laughed at himself: "Mr. Song, I won't tell you, I have been writing this script for more than a year, but until now, I haven't even got a single dollar of investment, you said that you are interested in this story and plan to invest, you say it, I believe it, but you don't think about it, what will happen after this movie is made!?"
After Li Yang finished speaking, even he himself was stunned, he couldn't understand why he said these words, these days, he was about to drive himself crazy in order to attract investment, and now that someone is willing to invest money, he is worried about the other party.
Song Zheng was stunned for a moment, then reacted and smiled: "What will happen after the filming, Director Li! Your script has not passed the review, and it should be unlikely to get a shooting permit, right?"
Li Yang's expression was stunned, he wanted to explain, but he also knew that no matter how he explained, it was useless, from the day this book was written, he knew that he was counting on the grace of the above to let this book pass the review, and it was no fun at all.
What I hope to see above is a movie that reflects the new era, the new look, the prosperity and strength of the motherland, and the happiness and well-being of the people.
However, Li Yang just wanted to make this story, and since he saw the real incident in the newspaper, he decided that he must make a movie about that incident, so that people know that there are still many dark things in this society, and many aspects are still unsound.
Now that Song Zheng was directly pointed out, although Li Yang was helpless, he didn't feel panicked, but smiled: "Mr. Song, you are an expert, I can't hide it from you, and I don't plan to hide it, indeed, this book has not been submitted for trial, and from the beginning, I didn't plan to submit it for trial at all!"
Li Yang's answer, Song Zheng was not surprised, but very pleased, if Li Yang was talking nonsense to him, what to say, looking for someone, looking for a relationship, and making this book pass the review and other nonsense, even if it was to delay Wang Baoqiang for the best newcomer of the Golden Horse Award on Treasure Island, he would have to find someone to throw Li Yang out.
Now that Li Yang can tell the truth, Song Zheng is down-to-earth, at least this can prove that Li Yang's character is fine, although he is not above board and honest enough in some aspects, but there is no way to force it out.
"That's good!
Li Yang also let go completely, and then asked: "Mr. Song, since you know everything, why do you still plan to invest in this movie!?"
When Song Zheng heard this, he smiled and said: "It's nothing strange, I just think it's a pity if this story is not filmed, and I don't think this movie will make me lose all my money, how to take this film to recover the cost and even make money, that's my business!"
Li Yang nodded, he could guess how Song Zheng planned to operate, but as Song Zheng said, it was Song Zheng's own business, and he couldn't control it.
"Understood!" Li Yang said and raised his head and looked at Song Zheng, "Mr. Song! No matter what, I thank you, for this film, my leg is going to be broken, and I can't remember how much I drank after the repeated drinking games, I don't want to make this story out of money, nor to become famous, I just want to shoot this story so that more people can see it, since it has come to this, as long as you are willing to invest, the director, screenwriter's money, I don't want a penny!"
Song Zheng said with a smile: "Director Li, I understand your kindness, but those are two different things, I made this movie because I like it, you are the director, the script is published, I invest in shooting, this is business, how much should I give you, I don't have a bad point, I have a request!"
Li Yang listened to Song Zheng's words, and was extremely excited, and suddenly had a feeling of meeting a bosom friend: "Mr. Song!
Song Zheng raised a finger: "Safety!"
Li Yang was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect Song Zheng to suddenly talk about this, but he was relieved to think about it, the script was written by him, and he was ready to be the director himself, every scene and every shot of the whole story had already been in his mind countless times, he naturally knew that it was really not easy to make this movie well, especially in the underground scene, it was not something that could be filmed by just finding a studio and setting up a set, in order to shoot the kind of depression he wanted, many scenes had to go down the mine, and what was the situation under the coal kiln, when he wrote this script, he also went down in person, didn't go back, and came up again, he felt like he had passed through a ghost gate.
Song Zheng ignored Li Yang's reaction, and then said: "I just have such a request, how many people you pull out, you have to bring back a lot of people who are all virtual and full of shadows for me, if you can agree, I will vote for this play, you go back and make a budget, and then we can sign the contract." ”
When the two were talking, Wang Baoqiang kept sitting on the side and watching, listening, he couldn't understand, just making a movie, was it really as dangerous as Song Zheng said?
Li Yang pondered for a while, nodded vigorously, and said, "Okay, Mr. Song, I promise to bring you a lot!"
