Chapter 384: Jiang Digui (27/315 Plus Update)
Jiang Digui is the kind of Korean man who is very traditional, or to be precise, even if it is just the first time they meet, Ye Leiyang can feel that this person's desire to control must be very strong, or rather, this is someone who will not allow anyone to question his authority on the set.
"Hello, I'm director Kang Digui." In the first sentence of the opening remarks, Jiang Digui gave Ye Leiyang a surprise.
He didn't expect that Jiang Digui would directly indicate his identity as a director when he came up, and he did not use the identity of the owner of a film production company, which is a statement, indicating that the person who met Ye Leiyang today was a director, not a businessman.
Ye Leiyang laughed, his goal of looking for Lin Changshu first was finally achieved, Jiang Digui should have heard the script from Lin Changshu's mouth, or more accurately, the current Jiang Digui is an artist who is moved by the script, not a businessman, although with his identity and vision as a well-known director, he should be able to distinguish that this will be a movie that will make him fame and fortune.
"Hello Director Jiang, I'm Ye Leiyang, a native of Huaxia." Ye Leiyang didn't go around in circles, smiled and stretched out his hand to Jiang Digui, and politely introduced himself.
As for Lin Changshu, after completing the glorious task of leading the way, he has already withdrawn.
At this moment, Ye Leiyang's location is Jiang Digui's office, except for the two of them, there is no outsider present, and in the middle of the coffee table, there is the movie script that Ye Leiyang brought over.
"The Gift of Room No. 7".
This is the gift that Ye Leiyang prepared for Jiang Digui, and it is also a warm and tragic movie that makes people feel sad and laugh at the same time.
In the history of Ye Leiyang's original memory, "The Gift of Room No. 7" has created a record of nearly 12 million moviegoers in South Korea. It tells the story of the seventh room of the training center, where the most heinous murderers gathered. There are gang bosses, fraudsters, and other inmates who have gone to prison for various crimes. But one day, a strange newcomer was ushered in here - Long Jiu, a middle-aged man with an IQ of only a six-year-old child. Although mentally retarded. But Ryujiu has a lovely daughter, Yisheng, and he is also a good father who loves his daughter with all his heart. At present, one of the most important tasks for the prisoners in Room 7 is how to bring Ryujiu's daughter Yisheng into the training center where outsiders are forbidden to enter.
The most important thing is that compared with other Korean films, Ye Leiyang clearly remembers that the production cost of this film and the publicity cost are less than 5.8 billion won, but the final box office is as high as nearly 80 billion won, which is converted into US dollars. That is, with less than $5 million in production costs, the producer can at least get more than $30 million in reports after deducting taxes and theater accounts. In other words, if Ye Leiyang invests one million dollars, he will get a return of six million dollars.
This kind of thing, Ye Leiyang said that he would not miss anything.
Of course, he didn't think about investing in filming independently, firstly, because he didn't have so much money. The second reason is because Ye Leiyang knows that this movie can only appear at such a high box office in South Korea. Because the film reflects not only the warmth between father and daughter, but also the corruption and incompetence of the Korean judicial system.
To put it bluntly, the sick psychology of Koreans. made this film. They weep over the tragic plight of the little girl and her father in the film, while scolding the incompetence of the police and the judiciary of that era. Then I thought about what happened to me.
Therefore, Ye Leiyang is not in a hurry. just silently watched Jiang Digui read the script there, after all, Lin Changshu's explanation was not comprehensive, and if you want to impress this commercial film director, you still have to look at the persuasiveness of the script.
After a long time, Jiang Digui slowly put down the script, but did not speak immediately, but silently drank the tea, put down the teacup, leaned back slightly, leaned on the sofa, crossed his hands together, and kept tapping the other thumb with one thumb, as if he was thinking about something.
He didn't speak, and Ye Leiyang didn't speak, he also sat there silently, as if he was tasting the tea in his hand.
has the real achievements in his memory as proof, Ye Leiyang is not afraid that Jiang Digui will reject him, if he can't even read such a script, then he Jiang Digui is not worthy of the title of the best director in South Korea.
Sure enough, after a while, Jiang Digui laughed wordlessly, and looked at Ye Leiyang with a hint of appreciation: "I have to admit that just like Changshu said, if I miss this script, I may regret it for the rest of my life." “
Ye Leiyang let out a sigh of relief, it seemed that his goal had been achieved.
Looking at Ye Leiyang seriously, Jiang Digui said sincerely: "Writer Ye, now you can put forward your request, this book, our Jiang Digui Film Production Company, take it!" ”
At this moment, Jiang Digui is no longer the director, but is speaking to Ye Leiyang as the owner of a film production company.
Ye Leiyang shrugged: "My request is very simple, I want to account for 20% of the investment in this film, and as for the filming situation, I ask Director Jiang Digui to host it yourself." Don't say that you are filming "Life and Death", I inquired, you have completed the editing of "Life and Death", and the rest is the publicity after the release. ”
Jiang Digui laughed: "Good guy, Writer Ye seems to have done a lot of homework." ”
He was not surprised that Ye Leiyang knew so much about himself, if he couldn't even do this, people would not come to him with the script, but what he was really surprised was that Ye Leiyang actually wanted to participate in the investment of this movie.
"You have so much confidence in this script?" Jiang Digui looked at Ye Leiyang and asked puzzled. He admitted that it was a good movie, but he really couldn't imagine that Ye Leiyang would be so confident.
Ye Leiyang shrugged his shoulders and asked, "If it weren't for a good book, would you plan to do it next?" ”
Jiang Digui was silent, Ye Leiyang was right, he had an intuition about this movie script, and he would surpass "Taiji Flag Flying" and establish his reputation as the No. 1 director in South Korea.
"Yes, according to what you said, the investment cost of this film is about five million dollars, and if you can raise a million dollars, I will allow you to invest in it." Jiang Digui smiled slightly and said to Ye Leiyang.
Ye Leiyang nodded: "This is not a problem, after we sign the agreement, the investment will be in place immediately." ”
Although he knew that Jiang Digui was using himself, Ye Leiyang was still very happy, a person is not afraid of others taking advantage of him, because this is a real world, others use you, you can also use others, and the so-called friendship is established in this way. And if a person loses the right to be taken advantage of, then that person is truly miserable.
In this world, except for parents to children, there is probably no one who will always pay silently and unpaid.
