Chapter 3: Buying the Script
Backstage at the press conference, Qiu Yi followed Lin Mujin all the way and complained: "My sister Mujin, what's wrong with you today?" Didn't you answer very well at press conferences on weekdays, and there were also dull and outspoken people, but there was no time to stab Lou Zi with such a poisonous tongue as today. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Leo is a newcomer promoted by our company, and he is also the hottest little fresh meat now, how can you say that he is paralyzed. ”
Lin Mujin ignored him, took off his high heels, and ran to the fitting room. She knew that she was wrong, those reporters dug a pit for her to jump, she shouldn't blurt out the words in her heart without brains and impulses, this entertainment industry is not a place where you can tell the truth.
The people in the company are not afraid to blame, at most they are not screenwriters. She doesn't care much about the saliva attacks on the Internet, just don't go online. She was afraid that those entertainment and paparazzi would be entangled, and she was also afraid that Leo's fans would do something irrational. Thinking of a certain host being splashed with boiling water by a crazy fan of a female star a while ago, Lin Mujin couldn't help but shudder. The host just complained about the hair color of the female star on the show, but she said that he was paralyzed today, will she be splashed with sulfuric acid? There are a lot of female fans of little fresh meat male stars.
Lin Mujin came out after changing her clothes and received a call from Xiao Tian'an.
"Mu Jin, what's wrong with you today? Forget it, let's not talk about it for now, Leo's fans on Weibo are crusading against you, saying that they will boycott every drama you will make in the future. ”
Lin Mujin sighed and said lightly: "They can't resist it, I'll terminate the contract tomorrow, I'm not a screenwriter." ”
Xiao Tian'an on the other end of the phone thought he had heard it wrong, was stunned, and asked, "You said you weren't a screenwriter?" Aren't you going to write me a script about a female general, aren't you going to write a lot of martial arts scripts for Senior Brother Zhuang? ”
"These have been written a long time ago, and the company doesn't accept them at all, they only let me write those that have crossed over, palace fights, and fantasy. I figured it out, this entertainment industry is not for me. ”
"Mu Jin, the entertainment industry is like this, especially for newcomers. You've finally become a gold medal screenwriter, and you will definitely have the opportunity to write your favorite script. I remember that a while ago, you handed over a script of martial arts to the company, and Mr. Chen said that it was well written, and maybe the next season will be ready to be filmed. ”
"Xiao An, I never believed what Mr. Chen said. Don't talk about it, you can recover well, and I'll see you in the hospital in a few days. Bye. ”
There was a beeping sound on the phone, Xiao Tianan put the phone aside and shook his head helplessly. She and Lin Mujin have been together since elementary school, and she understands Lin Mujin's character, and deciding is deciding. But Xiao Tianan knows how much Lin Mujin likes the job of a screenwriter, and she doesn't want to regret seeing her in the future.
Xiao Tianan picked up the phone again and sent a text message to Zhuang Zhiyuan: Senior Brother Zhuang, call Mu Jin when you see the text message, she doesn't want to be a screenwriter anymore, you can help me persuade her, tell her not to be so impulsive, she will always listen to what you say.
After Leo returned to the company, he went directly to Mr. Chen's office. The two talked in the office for a while, and Leo came out with a file bag and a smug smile on his face.
Mr. Chen looked at Leo and was puzzled, what is the origin of this rookie actor? Didn't Lin Mujin offend him at the press conference today? Why did he spend so much money to buy Lin Mujin's martial arts drama script with little commercial value?
After Zhuang Zhiyuan, who was at Ji Ran's family banquet, saw the text message, he called Xiao Tianan back under the pretext of going to the bathroom, asking her not to worry, saying that Mu Jin was impulsive, and after she calmed down, he would persuade her. He would greet Mr. Chen and ask him to suppress the termination of the contract.
After Lin Mujin went home, she hid in the room and refused to come out, she looked at the scripts that she had worked so hard to write on the bookshelf, and she was distressed. finally survived until now, did she really give up like this? Isn't it a screenwriter anymore? Did she just give up on her dreams? Would Senior Brother Zhuang be disappointed if he knew?
Lin Mujin fell on the bed, tossed and turned, and scolded in her heart: It's all to blame for that facial paralysis Leo, if it weren't for him, maybe he wouldn't be so impulsive.
Leo took the script to a high-end clubhouse, and when the people in the club saw Leo coming, they respectfully led him into a private room. The people in the box were puzzled when they saw that it was Leo.
Leo didn't wait for them to ask questions, then introduced himself.
"Producer Liu, Li Ou took the liberty of inviting you to come in the name of Mr. Chen, and I hope you will understand. You must be wondering what a newcomer actor who has just debuted is asking you to do. Leo didn't want to go around the bush, so he told you straight to the point, I hope you can help me make a TV series. ”
Producer Liu is a very sleek person, he has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, and he has seen countless things that have happened to people. But today's incident is the first time he has seen it, a fledgling newcomer in the entertainment industry actually took the initiative to find the producer, and said that he would help him make a drama, but I am afraid that this Leo is not small.
Producer Liu stood up and asked politely, "What drama does Mr. Li want to make?" Is Company C going to shoot a new drama? How much sponsorship do you want to pull? ”
Leo smiled, handed the script to Producer Liu, and said, "Just shoot this one." 300 million should be enough to make a 30-episode drama, the male protagonist is played by me, and I don't get paid a penny. Producer Liu doesn't need to ask for sponsorship, after you sign the contract, you can go to the finance department of Company C to get the money at any time, and you will be responsible for finding people and preparing the crew. ”
Producer Liu was quite shocked, although it is now 100 million and 200 million yuan to make a TV series, but those TV series are all more than 40 episodes, and the leading actors are all first-line stars. You must know that the salaries of current first-line stars are about seven or eight hundred thousand yuan per episode, and those who say how much it costs, it is estimated that half of the money is paid to the actors. 300 million to shoot 30 episodes is definitely a big deal, not to mention that Leo also said that he plays the male lead, and he doesn't need a penny, which can save tens of millions.
Producer Liu agreed without hesitation, asking, "Do you have any special requirements from the director and actors?" ”
Li Ou thought about it, and if he wanted to find it, he would find Lin Mujin's favorite and replied: "If the director says, Director Zhang, who is good at filming ancient costumes." As for the actor male second and female protagonist, I will find someone, and other Liu producers can find it, fame is not important, it has to match the character of the character, and the acting skills are better. ”
Producer Liu smiled confidently: "I will definitely not disappoint Mr. Li." ”
Leo stood up, looked at Producer Liu, and said with a serious expression: "The most important thing is not to let others know that I am the behind-the-scenes investor, and for the quality of the drama, I must let the screenwriter who wrote this script follow the team." ”
Leo's aura made Producer Liu feel a little oppressive, and he definitely couldn't underestimate this newcomer, I don't know what the background is, in short, I have to do what he says now.
Producer Liu also stood up and nodded, "I understand what Mr. Li said." ”
Li Ou walked to the door, waved his hand at Producer Liu when he opened the door, and said with a harmless smile: "Then thank you Producer Liu in advance, see you when the crew starts filming." ”
Zhuang Zhiyuan and Ji Ran broke up a year ago, Zhuang Zhiyuan came to Heidelberg to accompany Ji Ran to play this fairy couple scene, just to repay Ji Ran's favor. She begged him to play the play, and he had to do it, because he owed her.
Zhuang Zhiyuan pulled away Ji Ran's hands wrapped around his arms and said, "The family banquet is over, and this scene should be finished." I'm going back to China, so you can do it yourself. ”
Ji Ran sneered: "Is it because of that text message just now?" Are you for Xiao Tian'an or Lin Mujin? ”
"Ji Ran, you are really unreasonable. Once upon a time when we were couples, I never said much when you peeked at my phone. Now we don't have anything to do with each other, and you're still going to peek. ”
"It seems that you broke up with me because of one of them."
"You should know the reason why I broke up with you, I have nothing to do with others, it's all because of myself."
Ji Ran said indifferently: "Zhiyuan, you used to love me so much, if you hadn't changed your mind, how could you break up with me ruthlessly." ”
Zhuang Zhiyuan sneered: "It's my assets that have shrunk, and I can't hold your heart." I wish you to find a rich businessman who can hold your heart as soon as possible. ”
