Section 33: Night Talk

In the boxy living room, the wall is painted with a layer of putty, which looks quite clean, and there are newspapers pasted in a few places on the wall.

I guess I had been painting for too long, and there was a place where it had peeled off, revealing the black wall underneath.

Shu Yu came over with a newspaper and pasted it in this place, Duane pulled the scotch tape on the edge of the newspaper, glued it, and bit the tape off with his teeth. Shu Yu let go, and he continued to apply tape to the other three sides of the newspaper, and the putty hole that had fallen off was finally gone.

After making up the place, the two of them walked over to the sofa and sat down, with a square table in front of them.

There is a square table in front of the sofa, how awkward it looks, but the living room is too small, and there is really no place to put this table, so it can only be placed like this.

"And the sofa? ”

Duane patted the couch under him and said.

The sofa is a fabric spring sofa, and the quilt surface is not very thick, so you can clearly feel the spring under the buttocks when you sit.

"I bought it from the second-hand market. ”

Duane nodded: he said, where would the landlord of such a private house leave a sofa for the tenant? It would be nice to give you a bed, a table and a few stools, and if you give you a wardrobe, it would be a big philanthropist.

"Have you figured out what to shoot?"

Shu Yu went straight to the point as always.

"My dividends are being paid one after another, and in the end there should be nearly nine million, and if you count the money spent before, you have to leave some capital for the company, and there will be almost seven million for you to squander. ”

Instead of answering, Duane asked, "There's a question I can't figure out, why did Rising do this?

This is also a question he has been holding in his heart for the past month: Ruixing fell out with him naked like this, just because he didn't want to pay more than 3 million dividends?

"This is not scientific, with Fang Liyong's methods, he is not such a brainless person. ”

This question will not be clear for a while, so Shu Yu got up first, went to the kitchen and brought a hot water bottle over, took two cups on the square table, turned them over, and poured two glasses of water.

Because after a day, the water in the thermos was warm, and there was no steaming on the cup.

"It's because he's so smart. ”

Shu Yu held the cup in both hands and warmed his hands with warm water through the glass, so he said.

"In addition, there is one more thing that you also think wrong, not more than three million, but more than ten million. ”

"According to the company's analysis at the time, "Chainsaw" was able to break 1. 600 million, in this case, they need to pay you 3.3 million, but this is only the domestic situation. ”

"Actually, in the third week, Rising had already released "Chainsaw" overseas, and at that time, your false testimony was reported in China, so you shouldn't know that the overseas market of "Chainsaw" is much hotter than that in China. According to the analysis of the number of masters, according to the momentum at that time, there was no problem in receiving 300 million. Although it is said that going overseas is a little more exploited, but it is still okay for Rising to take 100 million, in this case, they will have to pay you another 5 million, a total of 8.3 million, this number may be more, and this number is indeed more - after the false testimony incident, the domestic market of "Chainsaw" rebounded, and not only broke 1 when it was finally lowered. 600 million, and even rushed to 1. 9.6 billion. ”

Shu Yu took a sip of water, held the cup in both hands again and put it in front of his lower abdomen, and continued: "According to the situation of "Chainsaw" at the time, making a sequel is already a sure thing, and you just sold "Chainsaw", and the sequel copyright is still in your hands, so if they want to make a sequel, they will have to pay you the copyright fee, according to the momentum of "Chainsaw" at that time, the copyright fee of a sequel will not be less than three million. This is just a sequel, if the sequel continues to be good, then they will be ready to shoot the third part, the fourth part, and then they will continue to pay you royalties, which is to be expected, so that if it adds up, even if it is only the second part, they are ready to pay you 11.3 million at that time. ”

Duane listened in a trance: it turns out that he was only one step away from being a multimillionaire at that time?

But just like this, Fang Liyong still wouldn't do so absolutely - more than 10 million can be accepted for seeing it. For the 600 million Ruixing, although it hurts a little, it will not hurt the muscles and bones, and in Fang Liyong's eyes, he will not do this. And the key reason why he did this is because the influence of "Chainsaw" is too great. ”

Because the influence of "Saw Horror" is too great?

When Du An heard Shu Yu say this, he suddenly guessed something in his heart.

Shu Yu continued: "Chainsaw has now become a gold mine, and according to the situation at that time, this gold mine has a gold production capacity of more than 100 million per year. Among them, "Saw 1" is the gold that has been mined, and there are many more gold in this gold mine that have not been dug up, but the owner of this gold mine is not them, which makes them uneasy. Because even if they are willing to abide by the rules of the game and pay rent, it is difficult to guarantee that they will be able to lease this gold mine and obtain the subsequent mining rights of the gold mine, after all, they are not the only ones who are willing to pay rent, not to mention that now that the mine owner has money, he may plan to mine himself. So, the best thing to do is to snatch this gold mine from the owner. ”

"It just so happened that the false testimony broke out, and they finally had a way to grab the gold mine, so the gold mine changed owners, and they no longer had to worry about not getting the follow-up mining rights. ”

"It's a bargain for a company like Rising that has just entered the film field and needs a foothold for good works. Fang Liyong did indeed avoid all risks, be decisive and ruthless, and firmly control the whole situation, as he has done in the past. ”

It can be heard that even if it is an enemy, Shu Yu still admires Fang Liyong's vision and ability.

Shu Yu's words broke through Du Anliang's confusion that he couldn't think about for a long time, and suddenly became enlightened, and then thought of an ancient saying: The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty.

But he still couldn't figure it out, and asked, "Then aren't they afraid of making enemies with me?"

Shu Yu looked at him with strange eyes, and he was a little embarrassed before he heard Shu Yu say, "You take yourself too seriously." ”

This sentence made Du An's fidget, but fortunately Shu Yu did not continue to ridicule, but took Du An's question and said: "Even if there is no false testimony incident, even if you can win the sequel copyright smoothly, they will not let me be the producer, and they will not let you continue to be the director." In fact, at the end of the second week, they thought of making a sequel, but the director was not you, the person they contacted was Li Shaohong. ”

"You're only 22 years old, and you're only 23 after the New Year, you're too young, and even I found out that you graduated from the Department of Management of Medical College, and you haven't worked as a director before. Say a thousand things and ten thousand, at the end of the day, they still don't have confidence in you. "Saw Horror" can be so successful, they think it's just that the idea itself is good, and the marketing is good, not a reflection of your director's ability - on the contrary, they think that any new director, with such story ideas and marketing, can do much better than you. ”

Du An was praised by Shu Yu two days ago, and all the "kings of the world" came out, but today he was immediately beaten to the ground by Shu Yu, and he was degraded to worthless, and he couldn't help but sigh for a while that women are really capricious.

Shu Yu refused to give up and continued: "Think again, before the perjury incident, when you were called 'the next Zhang Yi', did anyone contact you to let you make a movie?"

Duane thought back, and the result was frustrating: there really wasn't.

"So, it's not just people in Rising who think you're incompetent, people in other companies think the same way. ”

"Unlike newspapers, newspapers are meant to be sold, so for the sake of sales, they can write whatever they like, and they will write whatever the audience likes to watch, regardless of whether the reality is realistic or not, just gimmicks, but film companies are profitable and rational, and making movies is an investment, not a gamble. ”

"You are at age, you are too young, you can shoot some short dramas, just shoot some niche emotional literary films, but you are still making a big commercial movie, they have never seen such a young commercial director, just because there was no before, so everyone can't believe your ability, they are all waiting to see who jumps out and eats crabs first. ”

"In fact, if the forgery incident does not break out, if you wait, you should be able to wait until millions of investors come to test the waters, want to make some money in your name, by the way to see how your level is, if you do well, maybe the investment will get bigger and bigger, but the fact is that you don't have this opportunity. ”

"So, why should they be afraid of making enemies with you? Could it be that you, the lucky person whose reputation is already stinking and who is just a liar, can make any waves? Especially when you have a conflict of interest with them, everyone can clearly distinguish how to make trade-offs, and who will give up 100 million yuan of profits a year for a person who doesn't know if he can become a big director?"

Du An's return to Nanyang from Lishui was originally full of ambition, thinking that he could turn the film and television industry upside down with his toes, and finally crowned what kind of bullshit "king of the world", but after being analyzed by Shu Yu, he suddenly found that he was just a lucky person?

This made him can't help but ask, "Then why are you looking for me?"

Shu Yu talked for a long time, his mouth was dry, and after slowly drinking the water in the cup, he put it on the table, and finally blinked, "We are in the same boat, if I don't believe you anymore, who else will believe you?"

Duane shook his head.

Trust, trust, he didn't know why Shu Yu trusted him so much.

Shu Yu stood up, stretched out his hand to carry the hot water bottle and poured water into the empty cup he had drunk, and said as he poured, "No problem, right? Then you answer my question, have you thought about what to shoot?"

"I've thought about it. ”

Du An leaned on the sofa, looked at Shu Yu's slender figure, thought of Shu Yu desperately handing him the bank card on the hospital bed, thought of filming "Chainsaw" while reading a book, thought of how he beat Shu Yu on the phone to encourage her to go to Shanghai when he couldn't be released, thought of racking his brains to market "Chainsaw", and finally thought of the "nearly nine million" that Shu Yu said to him just now, and the situation when Shu Yu yelled at him at his sister's house that night.

"What's the story?"

Duane laughed and said, "The story of a man who saved a woman and was finally saved by this woman." ”
