After eating at noon, Mai Xiaoyu chatted with Xi Xiaoxing and Zhang Xiaoquan for more than two hours about the script. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Love Call Transfer 2" is good to say, the investment cost is still not high, more than 10 million is enough; "Inception" is different, even if the salaries of the actors, directors, screenwriters, and other staff are much lower than the dream one, the shooting and production costs and post-production costs will not be low.

Especially the special effects shots in post-production, absolutely, right, no, can, save, money!

Otherwise, what else is it called a sci-fi blockbuster?

"Inception" is not a soft sci-fi like "This Man is from Earth", and the post-production is very expensive, and it must be burned!

Money is only one aspect, people are another.

With the current level of wheat leaf special effects, it will definitely not reach the level that Mai Xiaoyu wants.

The world's top or first-class special effects companies such as Industrial Light & Magic, Digital Field, Sony Graphics Image, New Zealand's Weta Digital, and the UK's Double Negative, and Moving Images are the best choices, but the price is too expensive.

Even if Mai Xiaoyu gave the production cost budget of "Inception" of 1.2-150 million yuan, it is not enough. If you burn all this money, you can't afford to hire these special effects production companies.

"Boss, although I haven't read the script yet, judging from your description and the degree of money burning in science fiction movies, the special effects production is a hard injury. There is too little money to support the big scenes of science fiction films, and there is too much money...... The risk is too great. ”

Xiao Xing put forward a pertinent opinion.

"From those companies, we invited professionals in relevant fields to guide at a high price, and then found a special effects company from India to cooperate with Wheat Leaf Special Effects."

"India?" Zhang Xiaoquan thought about it, nodded and said, "That's a good idea." India has a well-developed software industry and is also the largest outsourcing base for digital special effects and animation in Hollywood, with very rich experience and technology, and the cost is lower than that of China in all aspects. ”

"Lao Xi, I'll give you the script when I go back, and you gather the screenwriters in your hands to revise them."

"You mean, there's a lot that needs to be changed? This is Ah Zheng's book.。 ”

There's no Ah Zheng's book.,It's Mai Xiaoyu's "copy" based on the American movie in the weird dream.,It must be fully "sinicized", and the amount of work is not small.

I definitely can't tell my two friends about this, Mai Xiaoyu snorted and said with a smile: "Ya, this book, I was going to throw it to Hualong to make a Hollywood blockbuster, but I grabbed it for you." I was unhappy and didn't want to revise it, so I ......"

"Understood, it's still the boss's righteousness, I know what to do."

Mai Xiaoyu patted Xiao Xing's shoulder; "When "Love Apartment" comes to an end, you start to prepare, take some time to go to India to inspect the special effects production over there, and choose a few powerful ones."

"No problem, I'm just going to see the customs of India."

Zhang Xiaoquan stabbed: "It doesn't matter if you see the customs, just don't bring back a few Chinese-Indian mixed-race children......"

……

I had dinner with two friends at noon, went to the company in the afternoon, and when I was about to get off work, Mai Xiaoyu went to Wang Chuhan's fitness club to practice sanda, and was surprised to find that there were many familiar faces in the fitness club.

In the fitness club, in addition to the general members, there are also some young actors who have just debuted, actors who have debuted for several years but are not well-known, and they are the kind of people who look familiar but can't be named.

After the release of "This Man from Earth" in North America, many well-known third, fourth, fifth and sixth-tier actors came to the fitness club to set up members. Mai Xiaoyu looked at the familiar ones, they belonged to this group of people.

In addition to insiders, there are also some handsome guys and beauties who are interested in entering the entertainment industry, because cute people are used to choosing newcomers, and they have applied for membership cards here very early, hoping that one day, they will be favored by luck.

Mai Xiaoyu accidentally saw Tong Liya, who was learning yoga with Wang Chuhan.

Wang Chuhan's yoga level is getting higher and higher, and it has become the second selling point of the fitness club, and the first selling point is naturally the signature of cute people.

Mai Xiaoyu and Wang Chuhan said hello, did not disturb Tong Liya, who was practicing yoga, went to the locker room to change clothes to warm up, and brought protective gear to practice sanda with Ke Haoyi.

At six o'clock in the evening, after finishing the sanda practice, I went to the shower room to take a hot shower, Mai Xiaoyu changed his clothes and sent Ke Haoyi home first, and then called Tong Liya and came to the underground parking lot.

I didn't wait long while sitting in the car, and I saw Tong Liya coming.

"You also got a membership card at the fitness club?"

"Zhao Chupeng told me that all the artists in the company have done it, and I am also an artist in the company."

Looking at Tong Liya's serious appearance, Mai Xiaoyu smiled: "You don't need to emphasize it, you have my secret." ”

"What if not?"

"What's not?"

"I'm asking, if I didn't know your secret, would you still sign me?"

"Would you like to sign a contract with the company?"

Mai Xiaoyu asked with a smile, habitually reaching out and wanting to touch Tong Liya's head.

Tong Liya's delicate body stiffened slightly, and a trace of hesitation flashed on her face, and she didn't dodge.

Mai Xiaoyu finally withdrew his palm and did not touch Tong Liya's head: "You seem to be ...... Changed? ”

Tong Liya opened her mouth, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Let's go eat, I've booked a place." ”

She booked a high-end restaurant, with a two-person seat by the window, separated by greenery, which was quieter and suitable for chatting.

The dish was ordered by Mai Xiaoyu, originally he asked Tong Liya to order, but Tong Liya said that this meal was her own treat, and Mai Xiaoyu was a guest, so she insisted on letting him order it.

The girl from the ethnic minority in Western Xinjiang is very stubborn when she gets serious.

After ordering two meats, two vegetables, four dishes and one soup, Mai Xiaoyu handed the menu back to the waiter and asked Tong Liya: "Why don't you go to Xijiang Restaurant?" ”

"I'm afraid you won't get used to it."

"Ha, you're actually starting to think about me?"

"You haven't answered my question yet. If I didn't know your secret, would you still sign me? ”

"Does it still make sense to ask such a question now?"

"For me, there is."

"Then let me ask you, if I hadn't scared you at the time, would you still sign a contract with the company?"

"You admit you just scared me?"

"I didn't admit it." Mai Xiaoyu lowered his voice, "At that time, you were a lonely man and a widow, and you were so beautiful, maybe I was ...... beastly."

"You're not that kind of person." Tong Liya interrupted him, "Sister Tangtang and Liying have both told me that you always like to scare people, and you have said similar things to them before, but you have never really bullied them. ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Tong Liya took a sip of chrysanthemum tea and muttered softly: "The first thing I learned was dance performance. After graduating from the Xijiang Academy of Arts, I was seconded to the Huaxia Song and Dance Troupe. When I first came to Beijing, there were no performances in the song and dance troupe, and I didn't have any money in my pocket, so I went to the restaurant to dance the Western Xinjiang dance. ”

"At that time, I could earn 200 yuan by dancing three or four dances, and I felt very happy with several Uyghur sisters with me. At that time, I also thought that if I couldn't go to a restaurant and dance, I could make hundreds of dollars a day. ”

"Later, I was admitted to the Central Academy of Drama and studied acting, and I came into contact with more and more people, and my horizons became more and more broad, and it was impossible to go back to dancing. Maybe I was exposed to society too early, and I was a year or two older than my classmates, so I started planning my future in the second semester of my freshman year. ”

"I thought at the time, I worked hard to study acting for three years in college, lay a solid foundation, and started to run crazy to hand over materials in my senior year, even if this crew will definitely not use me, I will go, just to make the other party have an impression ......of me, maybe they will use me in the future."

In Tong Liya's soft narration, the waiters served the dishes one after another.

Tong Liya is still telling about her past, and Mai Xiaoyu is listening quietly while eating vegetables.

“…… That time I went to Daguanyuan with my classmates to participate in the audition for "Dream of Red Mansions", which disrupted my plan for myself and changed my fate. Meng Ren Film and Television, my classmates were surprised when they knew that I signed the contract, I knew that many of them wanted to sign a contract, but they didn't even have the opportunity to interview. ”

Mai Xiaoyu swallowed the food in his mouth: "But you are not happy, and even a little desperate." ”

"Shouldn't I despair? You let people kill me, you defiled me, and threatened me with my family, can I not be afraid? ”

"And now?"

Tong Liya shook her head and glared at Mai Xiaoyu: "I'm not afraid now, because I know that you were scaring me at that time!" ”

"Sugar Candy and Liying told you?"

"Not exactly. And that time Teacher Haiqing woke me up, and in Qingtian, I saw you standing up for Teacher Hu Ji...... You shouldn't be a bad person, although you have deceived many people, but you have been trying to clear your name and compensate them. ”

"Hey, how do I feel like I'm about to be blown into a saint by you. You're inviting me to dinner tonight, just to say that? ”

Tong Liya was silent for a moment, her expression suddenly became extremely serious, and she lowered her voice and said word by word: "I want to tell you that I am not the most unpromising artist in the company." ”

The latter sentence was what Mai Xiaoyu said to Ning Shibin when Tong Liya was held hostage by Ning Shibin, and she always remembered it.

Mai Xiaoyu smiled and also lowered his voice: "The people I signed are all future star blanks." ”

"So, you admit that you didn't sign me because I heard your secret?"

"As for being so happy?"

As for it, of course.

Tong Liya is a senior this year and will graduate in July next year. Most of her classmates are working hard for their future, but in the entertainment industry, it doesn't mean that your hard work will definitely be rewarded, where is the road after graduation and how to go, which makes many acting students anxious.

Tong Liya doesn't need to be anxious about this, because she has already signed a contract with Mengren.

If it is described as a fish leaping dragon gate, a cute person is a dragon gate. As long as the artist can sign a contract with a cute person, the male dragon and the female will become a phoenix, and the cute person is not like other film and television companies, and will never snub any artist.

When she was sure that Mai Xiaoyu was not as bad as she imagined, and saw the hard work of her classmates running around the group, running the drama troupe, running the film and television company, and participating in some circle gatherings......

"I think I'm lucky."

"You signed a deed of sale under my coercion."

"When Senior Sister Tangtang signed a contract with Liying, it didn't seem to be a serious way."

Mai Xiaoyu looked at Tong Liya suspiciously: "Yaya, what zodiac sign are you?" ”

Tong Liya first trembled because of Mai Xiaoyu's "Yaya", and then said: "I used to think you were a bad person, so I was very resistant after signing a contract with the company; Now I find out that you are not as bad as you imagined, so I feel lucky to sign a contract with the company, we people in Xijiang are as simple as that. ”

Most people in Western Xinjiang are very unrestrained and bold, and they don't need to "warm up" when interacting with people, and they have no purpose. When you are a friend, just say hello when you have something, never hide it, and no amount of strength will be used for you; doesn't treat you as a friend, and it rarely makes a false deal with you, just like Tong Liya in the past, and expresses it unabashedly.

"So you don't reject the company now?"

"The day you went to the Skytower, I came to you to talk about this."

"Come, call the boss to listen."

Tong Liya was speechless.

She has heard Tang Yan and Zhao Liying mention more than once that Mai Xiaoyu has a "bad hobby" of flirting with female artists, and now she can feel it personally.

However, with her straightforward personality, she called very happily: "Boss." ”

"Good."

Mai Xiaoyule stretched out his hand and subconsciously wanted to touch Tong Liya's head.

That's his bad habit.

In the past, when Sissi and Shu Chang were young, he was always used to touching their heads, and he was used to touching them. The female artists of the company, except for Liu Tao and Chen Qiaoen, were almost all touched by him.

It doesn't mean anything else, it's just the meaning of the seniors and the juniors, the elder brother and the younger sister.

Reaching over, his hand did not touch Tong Liya's head, Mai Xiaoyu felt that it was not suitable and stopped beside him.

Just as he was about to withdraw his hand, Tong Liya suddenly leaned sideways and took the initiative to put her head over.

"I don't know why you like to do this, but I've heard that you seem to like touching girls' heads, and it seems that this is what you approve of."

"Nonsense, only by doing artificial respiration for me can I get my approval." Mai Xiaoyu withdrew his hand with a smile, "I still think that you have changed too much, and I can't accept it." ”

"I'm this kind of person, I recognize you, I'm a friend, and I greet you with a smile; If you don't approve of you, don't think I'll give you a good face, and I'll never be polite. ”

Mai Xiaoyu: "...... What zodiac sign are you? ”

"Boss!"

A familiar tone suddenly remembered, and then a small man appeared next to the two, and tilted his head to look at Mai Xiaoyu, and in his bright smile, a pair of big white teeth were particularly conspicuous.

Wang Baoqiang!

"You kid wants to die, screaming so loudly."

Wang Baoqiang rolled his eyes, looked at Mai Xiaoyu, and then at Tong Liya, and said, "I understand, I completely understand." ”

"I understand your size. She is Tong Liya, a newly signed artist in the company, don't say you don't know. ”

"Uh...... Knowing is knowing, but it's the first time I've seen what it looks like. ”

"Hello Mr. Wang Baoqiang, I am Tong Liya, an artist who signed a contract with the company some time ago, please take care of me in the future."

Tong Liya stood up, stretched out her hand, and greeted politely.

"Sit down and say sit down, why are you making such a big move?"

"Yes, yes, don't attract other people's attention and disturb other people's meals." Wang Baoqiang sat down next to Mai Xiaoyu, and covered half of his face with his hands.

Mai Xiaoyu asked him, "Why are you here?" ”

"Eating with friends, it's all in a private room, I just went to the bathroom and happened to see you."

"Are you done with the bathroom?"

"It's over."

"When you're done, go back and make some fun with me."

"Okay, I'll go back first. Brother, tomorrow you are not in the company, I have something I want to talk to you about. ”

"Call tomorrow."

Wang Baoqiang cocked his collar and left.

Tong Liya was puzzled: "Mr. Mai, I know that you have always been very low-key, but why is Teacher Baoqiang the same as you?" ”

I don't think it's weird.

Looking at Wang Baoqiang's back, Mai Xiaoyu showed a puzzled gaze.
