Chapter 753: Seizure of Power (2/176)
Xu Jinglei was a little inexplicable, she didn't understand, what was Ye Leiyang going to do?
Just now in the room, Wang Shuo rarely lost his temper with himself, which also made Xu Jinglei understand that Ye Leiyang was not those followers around Wang Shuo, and he was not someone who could point fingers at him. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
In Wang Shuo's words, Ye Leiyang will definitely come, willing to write this script, willing to invest is to give Wang Shuo face, not for the sake of your Xu Jinglei's face.
A first-class screenwriter in the United States, a hot screenwriter and a celebrity in the screenwriting circle, may not be able to find a collaborator?
Although he knew that Ye Leiyang was quite talented for a long time, of course, when Wang Shuo personally said Ye Leiyang's achievements, Xu Jinglei was still surprised and showed a trace of envy and mixed feelings.
But at this moment, hearing Ye Leiyang's words, Xu Jinglei still showed a trace of dissatisfaction.
"Teacher Ye, what do you mean?"
Xu Jinglei looked at Ye Leiyang and asked strangely.
Ye Leiyang laughed, glanced at Wang Shuo, who had not spoken, and said softly: "Two choices." First, I will invest in you, I will come out of the script, I am the producer, you are the director of this movie, but you have no right to speak. ā
"Second, you leave the crew to me, and after two years, I will give you a script, guaranteed to have a box office of over 100 million, and you are fully responsible for everything in the movie."
Wang Shuo was stunned and looked at Ye Leiyang in surprise, he didn't expect him to make such a request.
Not only him, Xu Jinglei was even more surprised and didn't know how to speak, and laughed inexplicably. Because she thinks Ye Leiyang's proposal is really ridiculous, why should this crew belong to him as soon as he comes?
"Teacher Ye, are you kidding me?" Xu Jinglei looked at Ye Leiyang after a while: "I treat you as a friend of Lao Wang, it's not right for you to talk like this." ā
Ye Leiyang laughed and waved his hand: "Old Xu, don't think I'm joking." Think about it, if you make this movie yourself, not to mention the quality of the script, what do you dare to guarantee? ā
Xu Jinglei was stunned for a moment, and before she could answer, Ye Leiyang had already said bluntly: "Do you dare to promise investors that this film will definitely be able to win awards and recover the investment costs?" ā
Hearing Ye Leiyang's words, Xu Jinglei was silent, just as Ye Leiyang said, she didn't dare to guarantee anything. Because making movies has never been a charitable activity, to put it bluntly, a commercial society naturally gives rise to commercialization, and the shooting of a film, unless it is an art film specifically for winning awards, as long as it involves a film with commercial content, the ultimate goal must be the box office.
In short, investors throw a lot of money out, people don't look at what artistic pursuits you express, they want real money in return.
And Xu Jinglei has to admit that in this situation, she doesn't even dare to guarantee whether anyone will watch what she shoots, and as for things like the box office of the movie, she has long been out of vogue expectations.
Seeing that Xu Jinglei didn't speak, Ye Leiyang smiled faintly, looked at her and said, "I'm worth it, you've been comparing yourself with someone." You also love to be a director. Then I can guarantee that within two years, I will give you a script that is no worse than "The Assembly", and the box office will definitely exceed 100 million. Lao Wang is sitting here, you also know the relationship between the two of us, if I say it, it must count. ā
Speaking of which, Ye Leiyang has already done his best, and he has put all his hole cards and requirements here, and the rest is up to Xu Jinglei to choose.
"Xiao Ye, you're not kidding, are you?" Wang Shuo slowly opened his mouth and said to Ye Leiyang at this time.
He admires Ye Leiyang very much, appreciates his talent, and appreciates his personality, otherwise he would not regard Ye Leiyang as his friend and get angry for Ye Leiyang and Xu Jinglei. But now Wang Shuo feels that Ye Leiyang is not too full of words.
Ye Leiyang smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and touched the bridge of his nose, and said to Wang Shuo with a serious face: "You know, I never lie when I speak. ā
Wang Shuo didn't move, he knew that Ye Leiyang didn't deceive people, and he hadn't deceived anyone once after knowing him for so long until now.
He stopped talking, and Xu Jingru also fell into silence, the expression on her face kept changing, obviously hesitating.
Ye Leiyang also understands her thoughts and thoughts, the crew she worked so hard to save used all aspects of relationships, and even paid salaries to the crew out of her own pocket, but now she has been picked with peaches, and if she were herself, it is estimated that she will not be able to accept it.
Although he doesn't like Xu Jinglei very much, Ye Leiyang has to admit that in the movie, Xu Jinglei is the kind of person who loves movies, rather than using movies as a tool to achieve his goals like a certain little swallow.
"Can you tell me, what kind of script is it?"
Xu Jinglei thought about it for a long time before she asked Ye Leiyang, and it was obvious that she was a little moved by Ye Leiyang's proposal. After all, in her heart, she has always had a heartfelt ambition to become the first female director in the Chinese-speaking market with a box office of over 100 million, or to become the best female director in China.
Now that Ye Leiyang suddenly said that there was an opportunity to help her achieve her wish, Xu Jinglei naturally didn't want to miss it.
As long as people have desires, they will definitely have gaps in their hearts, which is the crystallization of the wisdom of our ancestors for thousands of years.
Hearing Xu Jinglei's words, Ye Leiyang nodded with satisfaction, for him, today's harvest is not small, at least Xu Jinglei's proposal to herself should be moved.
"It's mainly about urban working life." In order to strike while the iron is hot, Ye Leiyang simply revealed a little plot to Xu Jinglei, and finally smiled: "In this way, I'm not afraid that you will regret it, if the box office is less than 100 million by then, I will make up for the difference." ā
Xu Jinglei and Wang Shuo looked at each other, they couldn't imagine that Ye Leiyang would be willing to pay such a big cost.
"Yezi, you're not kidding, are you?" Wang Shuo was stunned and asked, was he really taken aback by Ye Leiyang, what was he going to do?
Xu Jinglei was also a little confused, especially after Ye Leiyang said those few words about making up for the box office, she was completely overwhelmed, after all, such a thing had never happened in her cognition, so much so that she didn't even know how to face it now.
After a long time, Xu Jinglei took a deep breath, stood up and looked at Ye Leiyang, gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, just do as you say, I want to see how you make a good movie." ā
ps: I have a splitting headache and feel like I'm about to collapse, but I still try to persevere, because I promised everyone an update at night. In addition, sympathize with the baby, in this world, there are always some people who cannot be forgiven. By the way, the screen is full of the Olympics and the entertainment industry, and a few people remember that today is the anniversary of Japan's surrender, alas. (To be continued.) )
