"What do you mean? You don't want to poach me, do you?"

"How can I afford to be a big Buddha of yours. Chen Xiao hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Actually, I want to see your decision and see if you can give me a reference." ”

"My decision?" Zhang Yang finally understood something, "You mean that there are many people who come to poach you now, and it is difficult for you to make a decision?"

"Yes. Chen Xiao smiled bitterly, and instead of being happy because of the fame of a play, his face was more sad.

"I'm in a similar situation to you now, I didn't renew my contract with the original company a year ago, and now I'm also free. Because of the popularity of the movie, many companies wanted to take me in. It's just that I was a little overwhelmed by the sudden invitations from such large companies. ”

Zhang Yang said: "What's so overwhelming about this, pick the sign that can give you the most resources." ”

"There are many resources given, and there are many restrictions. I've been in contact with a few companies, and they will ask you to make a few movies within a certain number of years, or how many box office you will make in that time, and you really have to say yes, and there is a lot of pressure. This is a bit far from my own ideals. I'm not a machine person, and I don't want to be reduced to a money-making machine. What I want is actually very simple, just pure filming, and it would be better if I could make some money to support my family by the way during the filming process. However, no other company would give me such freedom. Speaking of this, Chen Xiao sighed lightly, "I've been worried about this matter for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet you so accidentally today, so I pulled you over." ”

Zhang Yang was in awe, and said in his heart that he had met someone who wanted to dedicate his life to art? This is great. He cautiously asked: "To put it simply, don't you make movies for fame and fortune? Do you just want to fight for the film industry for life? Use your meager strength to make a little contribution to the film industry of all mankind? and leave countless spiritual food for our future generations?"

"......" Chen Xiaoda Khan said embarrassedly: "It's not as great as you say, and I don't believe that there is such a great person in this world." I'm also fame and fortune, but I hope the process will make me a little more comfortable and happy. ”

"......" Zhang Yang coughed dryly and hurriedly changed the topic: "So you want to know what choice I made among the olive branches thrown out by so many companies?"

Chen Xiao nodded: "I want to know your choice, or rather, why did you choose it this way." ”

Zhang Yang said: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you, actually...... I didn't say yes to anyone. ”

"What?" Chen Xiao was stunned, "Which one didn't agree?"

"Yes. ”

"Why?" Chen Xiao looked puzzled, "Don't you want to go further? You don't want to go to a bigger platform? You don't want to have a bigger fame and do a bigger business?"

"Yes, of course. Still, like you said, the terms offered by these companies are tempting, but they are also very restrictive. I'm used to being free and don't like to be tied down. So, instead of joining any company, I opened my own studio. ”

"You opened a studio?" Chen Xiao was surprised.

Zhang Yang nodded: "It's just these two days." ”

Chen Xiao looked at him blankly, and it took a while before he came back to his senses, and said in disbelief: "So you rejected those who came to dig your corner?"

Zhang Yang continued to nod.

Chen Xiao stared at him for a while and fell silent.

After a while, he spoke up again: "Are you going to work with Miracle Video all the time?"

"Not necessarily, it will be decided later depending on the situation. Zhang Yang said: "Of course, I will not refuse to cooperate with other big companies, but I will not sign a deed of sale." The most is cooperation, if you are willing to cooperate, you can cooperate, even if you are not willing, it is a big deal to make a little less money. Anyway, I have the content in hand, and I'm not afraid that there will be no broadcast platform. ”

Chen Xiao was thoughtful.

Zhang Yang glanced at him and said curiously: "You said that you had terminated the contract with the original company a year ago?"

"Yes, there is no prospect over there, and if I continue to stay there, I may never have the opportunity to direct, so I came out. Then I found some bosses I had worked with, pulled some money, and made this film that I had been planning for nearly five years. ”

"So you were free when you made this movie?"

"I know what you're asking, but I'm in a different line of work than yours. The film industry is too risky, and I don't have as much confidence and confidence as you. If I don't have good resources, I can't guarantee what the next part will be. Chen Xiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, where is there a popular director, "If the next movie fails, I think the chance of making a third movie will be greatly reduced, and the situation will return to a year ago." Even if I am lucky enough to have the opportunity to make a third movie, what if I fail again? If the third movie fails again, I am afraid that no one will dare to invest in me again in this life, and I will never think about filming again in my life. Moreover, I don't have the capital or the ability to prop up a company of my own. From approval to shooting to screening, there are too many links for a film to go through, and it is simply not something that one person can complete. ”

Zhang Yang's heart moved, and he asked, "What resources are you referring to?"

Chen Xiao replied without thinking about it: "A good script is the most important thing. ”

Zhang Yang's eyes lit up, and a bold plan uncontrolled appeared in his mind.

"You just said that a lot of people come to you with money to make a movie?" he pressed the thought that wanted to rush out of his mind.

"Hmm. ”

"In other words, what you're worried about now is a good script, not money?"

Chen Xiao thought for a moment: "That's pretty much what it means." ”

"And then you want to be free to make movies, that is, you don't want to be restricted by all kinds of rules and regulations, and you don't want to be forced by those capitalists to make movies that you don't want to make?"

"Yes. ”

"What if...... I'm talking about, if, if you had a good script right now, would you still consider offers from those companies?"

Chen Xiao was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't thought about this problem, and then thought about it very seriously and said: "If I really have a good script now, I will finish filming this movie first." In this way, I will have more capital to negotiate terms with those people. If I can make two movies that make a lot of money for investors, I shouldn't have much of a problem with a relatively relaxed working environment. ”

Zhang Yang's mind turned sharply and said, "I have an idea in my head, I think it's pretty good." ”

"Oh?" Chen Xiao's eyes lit up slightly, and then he was a little suspicious, "You can still write scripts?"

Zhang Yang said: "I can write novels, so it's not strange that I can write scripts, right?"

"It seems to be. Chen Xiao said with some expectation: "Tell me about your script, if your script is really good, we may be able to cooperate." ”

"It's just an idea, and it's pretty messy, and you're going to make me say right away that I can't really tell. Zhang Yang looked embarrassed and said, "Otherwise, I'll try to write it out in the next two days, and we'll meet again then?"

Chen Xiao didn't agree immediately, but asked first, "What type is it?"

"Comedy, of course, that's what you're best at, right?"

"What about the cost?"

"I don't know much about the cost, but I think 10 million should be enough. ”

Chen Xiao thought for a while and said, "That's okay, you can write the script as much as you can, and we'll talk about the rest after reading your script." ”

"Okay. Zhang Yang will not have an opinion, and now his heart has become hot.

He seems to have found a door to the film market.

Chen Xiao has already made a very successful movie, and now is the hot time, without worrying about funds or distribution, but there is no good script.

But he just has a script, he has a lot of good scripts.

The point is, he only has a script. He didn't have anything but the script, he couldn't get funds, he couldn't find a release, and he didn't even know what formalities were required to make a movie. He needed someone to take him in, he needed to go through these things. Now is an opportunity, a great opportunity.

He has it, but Chen Xiao doesn't. Chen Xiao has, he doesn't.

If the two of them cooperate, it will almost be a perfect match. After this village, where can you find such complementary people?

However, Chen Xiao was very cautious and did not agree immediately, he was very careful not to boast about Haikou.

Chen Xiao made a movie with a high box office, but he hadn't seen it, and he couldn't be sure of his ability. If he really wants to cooperate, of course he has to see his ability first.

The waiter began to serve the food, and the two did not continue to talk deeply, but found some other topics, and after eating a meal, the two also talked happily.

After the meal, the two separated, and Zhang Yang took a taxi directly to the nearest theater and bought a ticket for "The Road is Uneven".

An hour and a half later, he came out of the theater with a twinkle in his eyes.

This movie tells the story of a little man who has always wanted to learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds and dedicate a little of his strength to all mankind. So, on the way out of a certain trip, I did a lot of things to help each other when I saw injustice, and the result was that it was all a disservice......

He watched the movie very attentively and laughed fruitfully.

In that case, the cooperation can continue.

Back at the rental house, he began to wonder which movie to take.

First of all, it must be a small cost, and secondly, the film will definitely make money.

Although this is not the earth, most of the cultures are still the same, and the works that can make a lot of money on the earth will certainly not lose money here, but it is just a matter of how much. And that's not something he can decide, and it shouldn't be something he should care about.

He didn't think about making money with this script, he just used this script as a stepping stone and used it to pave the way for his future.

Half an hour later, his eyes lit up, and he finally had a goal.

"That's you!"

He turned on his computer and started working on the script for the film.

(Can anyone guess which movie?)
