Chapter 179: Getting Involved in Film and Television
Ning Xin is rich, but if her friend is going to shoot such a script, Zhang Yu is not optimistic, "How are you going to help her, invest, such a script, if it is all such a script, it will be a dismal result at the box office in the end." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Looking at Zhang Yu's affirmative look, Ning Xin was a little angry, "When can you stop being so tricky with your mouth." ”
"I'm talking about the facts, making a movie is the same as writing a novel, and it can even be said that a novel is a script, what the audience wants to see is a clear main line, violent conflict, watching a movie is like eating, the taste buds that can be eaten at the Manchu and Han banquets are wide open, but if it is boiled noodles in white water, the taste is the same as chewing wax. ”
Ning Xin rolled her eyes and kicked Zhang Yu with her foot, "Then you write a good script." ”
Zhang Yu picked up the computer and created a new document on the desktop, "Okay, I'll write you a similar type right away." ”
At the top of the document, Zhang Yu typed a few big words "People in Embarrassment".
And then there's the synopsis:
The Spring Festival is approaching, Li Chenggong, the boss of the toy group, is ready to go back to his hometown Changsha for the New Year, and his lover Mannie also forced him to divorce his wife, and she was with her, but he met a senior milkman who went to collect debts at the airport......
Session 1: Private rooms in luxury hotels
In a luxurious private room, Li Chenggong sat on the main seat of the table, and several employees of the company sat opposite, putting the cut meat in the innermost part and chewing gently, Li Chenggong's expression was indifferent, and after eating, he glanced at the young man sitting on the far right with long hair and a slightly larger face, "Knowing you makes me believe that everything is arranged by fate......
……
People are embarrassed, Zhang Yu has watched it many times, so most of the content can be remembered, Xu Zhen's Li Chenggong is scathing, Wang Huahua's Niu Genghan is stupid, everyone's image and personality are emerging in Zhang Yu's mind, Zhang Yu wrote like a god, and quickly wrote the first part of the script.
Stopped tapping his fingers on the keyboard, and put the computer to Ning Xin, who was already looking at the screen with his neck stretched, "Let's see, how is it, is it higher than the grade of this script in your hand." ”
Looking at Zhang Yu's script that he didn't forget to ridicule his friend, Ning Xin unceremoniously pinched Zhang Yu's thigh, and then looked at the script written by Zhang Yu on the screen, although the format is simpler than that of Chunyi, but the content is really much better than Chunyu as Zhang Yu said.
patted Zhang Yu's head gently, Ning Xin praised like a child, "It is worthy of being the top god author of the singularity, I have decided, and I will use you as the first movie I have invested in." Closing the computer, Ning Xin grabbed it with one hand and put it on the coffee table, but her center of gravity was unstable and she leaned forward.
Zhang Yu grabbed Ning Xin, who almost fell off the sofa, "How much money are you going to invest in your friend's company?"
Ning Xin exhaled and wiped the sweat on her head, "I discussed it with my friends, I bought the company for four million, but the general manager still did it." ”
In the following years, the scale of the film market is growing rapidly every year, there are not a few movies with a box office of more than 100 million in 2008, in 2015 before Zhang Yu's rebirth, it is not uncommon for the box office to exceed 100 million, and the one billion box office is not an unbridgeable gap, and even the box office of a movie has exceeded 2 billion, such a large market, how can Zhang Yu let go "In this way, count me one, I will also give two million, and share half of my shares." ”
Ning Xin squinted her eyes and smiled at Zhang Yuyanran, "Okay, since you are willing to share the risk, I have no opinion, but don't think about being a shopkeeper, this script will be written for me." ”
Zhang Yu happily agreed, "No problem, I won't have trouble with money." ”
Involved in film and television, Zhang Yu has had this idea for a long time, born in the filming process of the return of the great sage, as an excellent high-quality animation, the return of the great sage will definitely shoot a live-action version of the big movie, the box office of the animation can't be compared with the movie after all, the return of the great sage is so well-made, and a large number of tap water care, but it only got 900 million box office, and Monster Hunt, Hong Kong, Charlotte's troubles easily won the box office of more than a billion, because the movie has an advantage over animation after all.
Under Ning Xin's persecution, Zhang Yu continued to sit in front of the computer and finished writing the script, and Ning Xin took the phone to call her friend to report the situation here.
Hanging up the phone, Ning Xin sat on the sofa and looked sideways at Zhang Yu, who was engrossed in writing the script, "Okay, everything is decided, I'll go through the formalities this week." ”
Zhang Yu leaned on the elated Ning Xin and raised a question, "Sister Xin, have you ever considered leaving a part of the shares for your friend, you must know that this is the company founded by your friend, your own children, there will always be some feelings, it is difficult to give up, if your friend regrets it later, then the estrangement will arise, and the operation of the company will be affected, so my opinion is to leave ten percent of the shares for your friend." ”
"People are small and big, and they think of others so badly, but your research on human nature is really profound, so do as you say. Although she complained about Zhang Yu, Ning Xin still agreed with Zhang Yu's opinion, she is not a little girl who doesn't understand anything, what Zhang Yu said is not an uncommon thing, this society is a world dominated by interests after all, and there are many examples of major consequences caused by uneven distribution of interests.
"I'm a person who has written novels of thousands of words, and if I don't study human nature thoroughly, how can I portray the characters in the novels thoroughly. Zhang Yu added a sentence in his heart that he had also experienced two lives, and he had seen a lot of mutual betrayal.
Ning Xin knocked on Zhang Yu's head, "Write your script, go to my friend tomorrow to handle the equity transfer, and you will write the script for me within three days." ”
Zhang Yu looked at Ning Xin with a smile: "We know how to be most sympathetic to employees, when did Boss Ning become an unscrupulous boss who sucks people's blood." ”
Pulling Zhang Yu's ears, Ning Xin was like an angry female tiger, "Unscrupulous boss who sucks human blood, you stinky boy, you can tell the truth when you write a script, you shouldn't learn economic management, you should learn speech." ”
Under the threat of Ning Xin's force, Zhang Yu finally obediently typed on the keyboard.
Empty house, only a table is placed in the middle, this is the current situation of Ning Xin's friend's company, the table is also covered with a slightly thick layer of dust, and after a glance at this so-called company, Zhang Yu and her friend found a café nearby to sit down.
Ning Xin's friend is called Cao Lan, a woman who looks about thirty years old, with short hair, and her spirit doesn't look very good, with two big dark circles under her eyes.
Hearing Ning Xin's equity distribution plan, Cao Lan was not a little happy, and said to Ning Xin with a wry smile, "Ning Xin, I thank you in advance, but as a boss, I don't want to, you should buy all the shares, and I will be a part-time worker." ”
Cao Lan had already been hit by the previous failure, and even the shares that Zhang Yu and the others gave her for free did not want it.
After ordering a drink, Zhang Yu handed the menu to Ning Xin, "Sister Cao, there is a saying that where you fall and where you get up, although the last movie failed, it doesn't mean that every movie in the future will fail, and besides, this company was founded by you yourself, don't you want to watch it stand up again?"
Ning Xin took out the script written by Zhang Yu and handed it to Cao Lan, "Cao Lan, take a look at the script written by Zhang Yu, I believe you will definitely change your mind after reading it." ”
took over the script, Cao Lan looked at it one by one, Zhang Yu's script was not finished, and what Ning Xin brought could only be regarded as the first half, but it had already made this woman who didn't have much spirit interested in it, "People are embarrassed, people are embarrassed, and compared with it, it's scum, your movie will definitely be popular." ”
Zhang Yu tapped his fingers on the table, "Whether it's hot or not, it doesn't matter if we say it, but what the audience says...... If you want the audience to buy a movie, you have to do it with your heart, whether it is the script, or the director, the choice of actors, you can't be fooled, I have seen the movie you made before, it is a confused movie that fools the audience, the actors' performances are not in place, their expressions are stereotypical, and they do not really enter the role. Zhang Yu did not hesitate to criticize Cao Lan's previous film, leaving no mercy.
Facing the criticism of Zhang Yu, a boy younger than him, Cao Lan listened very seriously, "You are right, I used to think that making movies was too simple, and in order to save money, I didn't do everything seriously enough. ”
Looking at Cao Lan's obvious self-repentance, Zhang Yu smiled, being able to regret himself, indicating that Cao Lan is still a qualified manager, "Sister Lan, if you can have this attitude, I am relieved." ”
Cao Lan looked at Zhang Yu's smiling eyes, "It seems that you are also examining me." ”
Zhang Yu not only signed the equity transfer agreement today, but also observed this Cao Lan, after all, all the information he got was Ning Xin's description, only when he saw this person and looked at her words and deeds, could he have a deeper understanding of whether this person was suitable for this position.
If Cao Lan is responsible for shifting the responsibility to the director and actors and limited funds, then Zhang Yu will not hesitate to refuse to let Cao Lan continue to serve as the general manager of the company, but he wants to build a huge film and television empire, if he sits in the position of general manager is a person who does not know how to take his own responsibility, then no matter how good his ideas and scripts are, there will be only one result, failure.
Failure is not terrible, what is terrible is to cover up and steal the bell, knowing that you are wrong, but you have been covering it up and never admitting it.
