Chapter 040: The Old Lady Is Going to Block You

Huang Bo let out a loud shout, attracting all the eyes in the coffee shop.

Agent Huang turned his head away, looked at Chen Yuan, and asked bluntly: "Mr. Chen, we Xinghai Records are willing to bid 200,000 yuan to buy these two works of yours." I wonder what Mr. Chen thinks? ”

Before Chen Yuan could speak, Huang Bo had already preemptively said: "Don't be delusional!" ”

"Mr. Chen?" Agent Huang frowned, waiting for Chen Yuan's reply.

Chen Yuan smiled faintly and said, "Lyrics and music arrangements are just my hobbies, and I don't plan to sell them for money." ”

Agent Huang nodded, feeling very uncomfortable, and she looked at Li Bing again, hoping to have other gains.

"I'm just a young actor, and I don't plan to be a singer yet." Li Bing said with a smile.

Agent Huang took out two business cards from the lady's bag she was carrying, put them on the table, she tried to squeeze out a smile, and said, "If you two change your mind, you can come to me at any time!" ”

After speaking, Agent Huang got up and left directly. But she didn't want to stay any longer. Zheng Yuan followed, he saw Huang Bo's fierce and vicious appearance, and he was a little scared in his heart.

As soon as she walked out of the door of the coffee shop, Agent Huang could no longer suppress the anger in her chest, and only heard her say hatefully: "Bastard, you don't know how to lift, the old lady wants to ban you!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Huang Bo's voice came, "Who are you stinky girls going to ban?" ”

Agent Huang glared at him fiercely and walked away.

Huang Bo came to the seat where Agent Huang had sit, grinned, and said, "I don't know who that stinky girl is going to block!" ”

Li Bing chuckled and said, "Who else can there be?" It's you, of course! ”

"That's not necessarily," Huang Bo waved his hand and ordered a cup of milk tea, and then continued: "Before today, she must have said this against me." But now it's different, you two also offended that stinky, she said that she wanted to ban it, and she must mean the three of us. Chen Yuan, what do you say? ”

Chen Yuan smiled, but he didn't care, and said easily: "If she wants to block it, she will block it, I'm afraid she doesn't have the ability......"

Huang Bo came here by some coincidences this time, he had something to tell Chen Yuan.

It turned out that since the two of them fought back and forth from Tenglong Pictures, Huang Bo understood Chen Yuan's thoughts, and he also paid special attention. He has always been a good person to him, and he has been good to people. Chen Yuan did not ask for anything in return, and handed him a classic original song "Father". Although he didn't succeed in releasing a record and caused some trouble, it was his own problem.

Chen Yuan's kindness was remembered by him, and he always wanted to find an opportunity to repay the other party.

Huang Bo has been in Kyoto for a long time, has a wide range of contacts, and has a lot of gossip. During this time, he spent countless energy and finally found a way to help Chen Yuan.

"Every year, the Youth Film Studio dedicates most of the funds to the production of films and TV series by outstanding graduates. We can use this channel to make a movie of your script. What do you think? Huang Bo said.

Chen Yuan's heart moved, and there were vague memories in his mind, but they were too vague to remember. Now that he was reminded by Huang Boyi, he suddenly thought about it. He asked Li Bing next to him and said, "I remember that you mentioned this youth film studio to me before you came, do you know what is going on?" ”

Li Bing said with some embarrassment: "Have you forgotten? Didn't we also vote the script to Qingying Studio some time ago? They replied that although they are optimistic about our script, they will not be able to spare the money to make this script this year and next......"

Huang Bo couldn't imagine that he had been tossing for several days, and the method he had finally found was rejected like this, and he couldn't help but sigh. Suddenly, his heart moved, and he said with a little excitement: "If we raise money ourselves and use the relationship of Qingying Studio, what do you think?" ”

Chen Yuan and Li Bing were silent for a while. Li Bing has been in the circle for a longer time and has a little understanding of the film industry. Chen Yuan is different, he only knows the general process of the movie from filming to release, and he is completely a layman for specific things.

"Maybe it will!" Li Bing said with an affirmative tone.

Chen Yuan looked at her, wanting to hear her thoughts.

Li Bing said what he thought.

There are three most difficult aspects of making a movie, one of which is to have a good script. The script is the foundation of the movie, and you can't make a good movie without a good script. Second, there must be investment. With investment, you can find directors, actors, and rental shooting equipment. Without investment, it is pure nonsense to say that making a movie is nonsense. Third, there must be distribution channels. The movie is ready to be released. Without a good distribution channel, release is a problem. If you can't get on the screen, what's the point of making a movie? See for yourself?

The script is there, but what is missing is investment and distribution channels. And Qingying Studio can solve the distribution problem very well.

"The reason why Qingying Studio rejected us is not because we can't like the script, but because we don't have money!" Li Bing said softly, "As long as we can get investment, we can cooperate with Qingying Studio." If all goes well, maybe we can get the movie out next year! ”

Chen Yuan banged on the table, his mind spinning rapidly. He gradually perfected the idea, and after a long time, he finally spoke: "We'll get together with the director tonight to see what he thinks." ”

It's still the same hotel, and it's still the five people you know. Chen Yuan, Li Bing, Huang Bo, Gao Hu, Guan Hu.

The eight dishes have been served, but everyone has no intention of moving chopsticks.

After listening to the ideas of the three people, Guan Hu felt pretty good, but it didn't mean that the movie would start filming smoothly. He sat at the dinner table, the cigarette in his mouth never stopped. Suddenly, he sighed and said, "I've been preparing to shoot a movie recently, and everyone knows about it. To be honest, this script was chosen three years ago, and the reason why it was delayed from filming was because of one word - money! ”

"I'm not afraid of your jokes, the investment that I finally got three months ago was withdrawn two days ago. I don't know when I have to stop when I am preparing to start filming next time. The amount of money spent on making a movie is not a small amount. Not to mention those big investments and big productions, even ordinary small productions, which need hundreds of thousands of dollars after careful calculation! This still means that you don't invite first- and second-tier stars, otherwise the cost will be greater. Without a good investor, without a good investment company, if you want to make a movie, it's difficult! ”

Guan Hu's words made the atmosphere at the dinner table even heavier.

Huang Bo smiled and said: "The problem of money is indeed a big problem, I have earned a lot of money over the years, how can I earn two or three thousand after a performance, but I have a problem of spending money." After so many years, there is only a deposit of more than 30,000 yuan. If Chen Yuan wants to make a movie, I will take out all this money! ”

Li Bing took his words and said, "Chen Yuan, my sister doesn't have a lot of money. You can only come up with 50,000 at most! ”

Chen Yuan nodded, his eyes were a little strange. He knew that these two would become big stars in the future, and they would definitely not be short of money to spend at that time. But now it's different, one is an actress who is not very famous yet, and the other is a singer who is still singing in a bar, how much money can they have? In this case, the two were willing to spend most of their savings to support him to make a movie, which somewhat moved him.

Guan Hu and Gao Hu did not have such a good relationship with Chen Yuan, so they naturally had no love to share the money to fund him. Neither of them spoke about it. In fact, Gao Hu had the heart to help Chen Yuan. But the embarrassing thing is that his mother has not been well since he was sick and hospitalized, and all the money he has earned over the years has been spent on this, and he has no savings at all!

Chen Yuan smiled and said, "You don't have to worry too much about the funding, I'll figure it out myself." If this script can really start filming smoothly, I hope that the director and Gao Hu can give some help at that time. Now in addition to the script, the director and actors are all vacant! ”

"It's easy to say," Guan Hu nodded, "My film can't attract investment for the time being, and I'm also an idler." On-call is guaranteed. ”

"I'm fine," Gao Amber said next.

The matter is settled. After supper, the crowd dispersed.

In the depths of winter, it is the time when the weather is cold and the ground is freezing. Chen Yuan and Li Bing walked side by side, and they both vaguely felt cold. Li Bing's face was even redder, this was frozen.

Li Bing asked with a smile: "You won't leave tomorrow, right?" ”

"If you don't leave for the time being, you have to get the movie done," Chen Yuan said softly, "If you want to cooperate with Qingying Studio, it is definitely not suitable to be an individual." Do you think I should apply for a business license and start a film and television company? ”

Li Bing thought about it for a moment and said, "Don't you want to enter this circle?" Starting a company is naturally the best. But there's something troublesome about it. Film and television companies are different from other corporate companies, they need some special qualifications. If we really want to open a company, we had better find a few more people and discuss it together. ”

Chen Yuan moved the idea of starting a company, but he was not in a hurry. Whether it's starting a company or making a movie, it requires a lot of investment. Now he only has more than 100,000 yuan in his bank card, and the time has obviously not yet come.

After sending Li Bing to the gate of the college, Chen Yuan ran to the Internet café again, sent several emails in a row, and then returned to the hotel to rest.

The book "Sealing the Demon" has become completely popular in the Taiwan market. During this time, the printing press of Lin Bai Publishing House did not stop, from black to day, from day to dark, day and night. But it still can't meet the market demand, and the Taiwan market doesn't seem to be saturated at all.

A lot of banknotes went into Gu Shunfeng's pocket. This makes him wake up laughing every day when he dreams!

But in the past few days, Gu Shunfeng has insomnia. The reason is that "The Sealed Demon" has been published to the 9th episode, and the 10th episode has also reached the date of publication. The rest, but there are none!

The previously signed contract is only limited to episode 10. The latter ones will have to be repriced.

Gu Shunfeng sent more than a dozen emails to Chen Yuan in a row, and the price was raised to 48,000 per episode, which was 10 times the previous price! But apparently, Chen Yuan was still not satisfied. Because Gu Shunfeng has not received his reply yet.

The bell on the wall rang, and it was already 11 o'clock in the evening, but Gu Shunfeng still did not feel the slightest sleepiness. He was a little distracted, and this state lasted for a long time, until the "Didi" prompt on the computer sounded, and he woke up.

Got a new email?
