Chapter 11 Making Movies
The experience of the previous life made Song Zheng look a little suspicious of these people under the banner of the entertainment industry, when he was in Hengdian in his previous life, the first time he was deceived was that there was a bearded person who claimed to be a director, saying that he was looking for him to make a movie, Song Zheng was a hairy boy at that time, and like many of his peers, he felt that he had a strange potential waiting for others to discover, and then the money he earned was deceived by the bearded man.

At that time, Song Zheng didn't really believe it, but there were no friends around him at that time, and a fat man who was very good at playing suddenly appeared, so he naturally couldn't ask for it, and the two of them ate nonsense for more than a month, and finally ended in the disappearance of the fat man.
Before being reborn, Song Zheng also met the guy who claimed to be the producer of the show, but unfortunately, Song Zheng has no chance to verify whether that person is a liar now.
The two in front of him, one is a future famous actress that Song Zheng knows, and the other is known as the director, hippie and smiling, full of ruffians, Song Zheng feels that the credibility is extremely low.
The two of them explained for a long time before Song Zheng believed that Zhang Yuan was really a director, and they really wanted to make a movie when they found themselves.
Of course, this is the excuse that Song Zheng made for himself, and the reason that really made him believe in these two people was that his current situation seemed to have no value to deceive.
Not to mention, in order to deceive him, Zhang Yuan set up such a big bureau, and specially hired professional actors to make cameos, which is completely unnecessary.
But even if he believed it, Song Zheng didn't feel excited, this big fat man with a curly head was not Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, he really couldn't be excited.
"Let's talk while eating!"
After Song Zheng finished speaking, he walked in with Song Ning, his current idea is that even if the final movie can't be made, having a meal can be regarded as thanking Yuan Quan for his help that day, of course, if Zhang Yuan takes the initiative to settle the bill, it will be more perfect, because he can save money for a meal, and he is one step closer to sending Song Ning to kindergarten.
Song Zheng's reaction made Zhang Yuan and Yuan Quan feel a little surprised, according to their ideas, a young man suddenly got the opportunity to make a movie, he would definitely cheer and get carried away, but Song Zheng was ~~~~~~ too calm!
"Eggplant pot, home-style tofu!" Song Zheng sat down, ordered two dishes, and then handed the menu to Zhang Yuan, "What to eat, order it yourself!"
"Oh!" Zhang Yuan replied stupidly, took it, and watched it for a long time before remembering that he didn't come here to eat, "What, I'm not hungry! Let's talk about the movie first!"
Zhang Yuan is very depressed, he is also a well-known director in the circle, and he has won international awards, how can he be so cowardly in front of this young man!
If it was someone else, Zhang Yuan would have let the girl get out of here, but with Song Zheng in front of him, he had a different kind of thought, and he always wanted to see what else Song Zheng could do next that would make him jaw-dropping.
Probably this is the common problem of the sixth generation of Chinese directors, a bit of poet neuroticism.
The description of literature and art is that the spring and white snow, the song is high and low, and it is unattainable in the eyes of the world, but in the face of the world, he has a little bit of the unfathomable profundity of everyone who is drunk and I am awake, and finally met someone who did not want to see him, but gave birth to a sense of bosom friend.
In the end, it's an inexplicable.
Yuan Quan looked at it, couldn't help laughing, grabbed the menu, ordered a sea rice rape, and ordered a pot of meat: "Do you want to drink?"
Zhang Yuan shook his head, he was now full of inexplicability, he couldn't drink the elixir and jade liquid, Song Zheng also shook his head, he still had to sing in the afternoon, and after drinking, it was not good for his throat.
After ordering, no one spoke, Song Zheng counted the money he earned in the morning, more than eighty yuan, not less, Zhang Yuan was looking at Song Zheng, as if he wanted to see the inner turmoil from Song Zheng's calm appearance, of course, he was in vain.
Soon, the dishes were served, Song Zheng picked up the bowl, gave Song Ning a few chopsticks and dishes, and then ate it with a sullen head, a bowl of rice quickly bottomed out, and seeing that Zhang Yuan didn't move, he reached out and picked up his bowl and filled it into his stomach.
After eating, Song Zheng wiped his mouth: "Let's talk about it now! But declare in advance, I haven't made a movie, and I don't know how." ”
Zhang Yuan came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "Oh! It's okay! You take a look at this first!"
Zhang Yuan said, took out a wad of paper from his bag, and handed it to Song Zheng, Song Zheng took it, took a look, and there were four big characters written on the cover, "Hai.Nan, Hai.Nan", and he almost saw it as "Jinling, Jinling".
Since people even took out the script, it proves that this matter is reliable, Song Zheng opened it and read it seriously, the script is not long, only a dozen pages, and after reading it once, he felt very painful.
"How is it?" Zhang Yuan looked at Song Zheng expectantly, eager to convince this kid of a wonderful fantasy.
Song Zheng frowned, groaned for a while, and looked up at Zhang Yuan: "What is this story about?"
Boom!
Zhang Yuan smashed his head on the table, looked at Song Zheng with a dry smile, and said, "Haven't you read all the scripts?"
Nonsense, of course I read it, if I don't read it, I can still ask you!
Song Zheng's heart was scolded, what kind of script is this, when he was in Hengdian before, he hadn't seen the script, but he had never seen it written so lazy.
A man lives with a woman, and then suspects that the woman has cuckolded him, and then he has a dream, so he resigns stupidly, breaks up with his girlfriend, runs away to Hainan alone, and then is robbed in Hainan, and then returns to Yanjing, and it is over.
Anyway, Song Zheng was in a fog, and he didn't understand what this broken script was about, and as for the artistry that the sixth generation of directors generally pursued, he didn't see it at all.
If these pieces of broken paper were scripts, the used butt wiping paper would have more connotation than this thing.
Of course, Song Zheng didn't say this, he is not two hundred and five, I heard Yuan Quan just say that this fat man has also won an international award, that is, there is a great hope that this broken script will be made into a movie, Song Zheng didn't expect to start a new chapter in his life with a broken movie, what he cared about was that since he was looking for him to make a movie, it was natural that he should give money.
It's not that Song Zheng is vulgar, he only looks at money in his eyes, people who say this kind of thing, try to fall into his position, if he can still be artistic, Song Zheng will take a knife and carve the word "service" on his face.
Seeing that Song Zheng didn't speak, Zhang Yuan inspired: "That, Xiao Song! You can feel it well, is the male protagonist Xiao Ding in this story very similar to your generation." ”
Song Zheng pursed his lips, he didn't feel it at all, he felt that their generation was very pragmatic, and he didn't want the neurotic male protagonist to run on the street and ask the big girl, "Are you naked?"
It's not about looking for what the draw is!
"Can I ask a question? Why are you looking for me!? I don't seem to know you, and I'm not from your circle!" Song Zheng finally had a chance to ask his biggest doubt.
Zhang Yuan glanced at Yuan Quan and motioned for her to explain, Yuan Quan didn't hide it, and directly said the truth, this movie can't be considered a movie, because it wasn't a film studio that asked Zhang Yuan to shoot this, but a small music movie shot for the channelv music station.
The actor was originally Pu Shu, and he had filmed a third of the time, but Pu Shu suddenly stopped doing it, saying that he couldn't adapt to it, so why did he go earlier.
The actor ran away, Zhang Yuan, as the director, was directly dumbfounded, seeing that he couldn't persuade him to come back, he could only change people, before Song Zheng, he also found Gao Qi and Huang Zheng, but they all felt inappropriate.
Then, Yuan Quan, who played a cameo role as a passerby in the film, suddenly thought of Song Zheng and thought of his song "Zebra, Zebra", and recommended it to Zhang Yuan.
Before today, they had been looking for several days, but they went to all the places where grassroots singers gathered, but they couldn't find them, and they were going to give up, but they happened to meet them today.
Song Zheng doesn't care about these twists and turns, what he cares about is whether this job is really given to him, and how much money he can earn if he does this job.
That's right, for Song Zheng, making this broken movie is a job, a job to make money.
Song Zheng didn't cover it up hypocritically, and directly threw out the two questions he was most concerned about, and then saw Zhang Yuan dumbfounded, Yuan Quan lowered his head, looked at her expression, and couldn't wait to gouge out his eyeballs to pay for his sin of not knowing anyone.
"Questions?"
Zhang Yuan came back to his senses and laughed: "No! No problem, I just like to be cheerful, it's boring to go around, if there is anything, just put it on the table and say!"
For Song Zheng's first question, Zhang Yuan gave a positive answer, he had already calculated it just now, he was very satisfied with Song Zheng's image, and he was even more satisfied with Song Zheng's temperament of being indifferent to anything, as for acting experience or something, this movie doesn't need it at all, truth is king.
But the second question ~~~~~~~~
"Xiao Song, we don't have much investment in this movie, and there is no way to release it, so we basically can't get back the capital!"
Song Zheng listened and said, "Then what? I don't have the money to take it, or I can't get much money!?"
In fact, all the actors in this small musical movie are friendly cameos, except for a box lunch, there is not a dime, but looking at Song Zheng's current situation, it is obviously very bad, and he has a child, and finally Zhang Yuan gritted his teeth and said: "Give you two thousand!"
Song Zheng didn't answer, but asked again: "How many days do you want to shoot?"
"It's okay for three or four days! On the last day, I'm going to Hainan to shoot exterior locations!"
Song Zheng thought about it in his heart and felt that he could do it, but he still fought for it: "Three thousand!"
"Okay!
I don't know why, Zhang Yuan just felt that Song Zheng had a good temper, even if this young man almost beat him up as soon as they met.
