"Pretty girl, how about I invite you to watch a play after work?" The fat boy asked with a smile.

"Cut, didn't you say that last time, and I didn't see anyone in the end." The reception girl gave him a hygienic eye and continued to sort out the documents in his hand.

The fat boy shrugged his shoulders and explained, "Last time I was in a hurry, I couldn't help it. ”

"That's what you say every time." The reception little sister snorted and stopped paying attention to the fat boy.

At the right time, Pan Yingzi slapped him on the shoulder and shouted, "Fat Chip." The fat boy was startled, and his feet were weak and he almost fell to his knees.

It's just that after seeing the person who came, let alone how exaggerated the expression was. raised eyebrows and blinked, until people had the urge to go up and kick his feet. The fat boy asked, "Sister Zi, are you so free?" Do you want to talk to me about your heart? ”

"You dead fat boy, you dare to take advantage of Sister's advantage." Pan Yingzi is not as easy to deal with as the little girl at the front desk, so she pinched the fat on the side of the fat boy, and the other party grinned in pain. He pointed at Ye Jingcheng and said, "It's not me who has something to look for you this time, it's him." ”

The fat boy raised his hand, pinched the orchid finger and circled around Ye Jingcheng, and then said in a sissy tone: "Cut, I have nothing to say to the man." ”

Ye Jingcheng smiled at him, and he said, "Really? I want to talk to you though. Come, let's go into the toilet and talk? ”

After speaking, he directly wrapped his arms around the fat boy's neck from behind, and then pulled it in the direction of the toilet. Huang Jing shouted repeatedly: "Hey, big guy." Don't pull it, can't I go by myself? ”

When he came to the toilet, Ye Jingcheng first began to have a large number of this fat boy, with a four- or five-month-old belly, and a pair of gold-wire glasses on his chubby face, especially the classic smile that looked a little cheap.

Ye Jingcheng didn't expect Pan Yingzi to introduce him to this dead fat boy, he didn't need the other party to introduce himself, he knew the details of the fat man, wasn't it Huang Jing, the great director of the Chasing Girl series and the, Pee and Fart series in later generations?

"Big guy, can you stop looking at me like that, I'm not going to do it." Ye Jingcheng's weird smile made Huang Jing feel a gust of wind blowing behind him, and the Jube area couldn't help but shrink.

"Don't worry, I'm not doing Ji, I'm going to do you... Phew, I'm just here to make a movie for you. Ye Jingcheng patted Huang Jing on the shoulder.

Huang Jing was almost scared to death when he heard the first half of the sentence, but fortunately the second half of the sentence made him breathe a sigh of relief. It's just that he didn't expect the other party to only have such a purpose, so Huang Jing's eyes were full of excitement and joy and said, "Say it earlier, it scares me." Are you looking for me to be a director? ”

Ye Jingcheng nodded, who knew that this fat boy changed his face faster than a woman, and said very stinkily: "It's not impossible, but I need at least 100,000 yuan to be a director." ”

"Huh?"

Lakh? The dead fat boy can really afford the price. As far as you are a screenwriter now, I'm afraid you won't be able to get 3,000 a month, right? I think you're Pikachu's brother, and I can't talk to you in a slightly nicer tone.

was glanced at by Ye Jingcheng, Huang Jing was completely unconfident, he dreamed that he would become a director one day, how could he miss such a good opportunity, and said with a smile: "Joke, laugh." Don't say where to laugh, right? ”

Next, the two officially discussed filming-related issues, first of all, Ye Jingcheng decided to make a movie called "Human Meat Roast Shop".

In fact, this so-called "Human Meat Roast Shop" is the second part of "Human Meat Barbecued Pork Bun". Since there is no first part as a foil, the title of "Human Meat Barbecued Pork Bun" cannot be used.

Because the second part has nothing to do with barbecued pork buns from beginning to end, but tells about making dead people into various cured meat, and then using the original title, which is tantamount to selling dog meat on a sheep's head.

As for why you chose the second part instead of the first part, the most critical point is - money.

The first part doesn't say anything else, there are at least hundreds of dragon sets alone. I also have to go to hospitals, police stations, prisons and other places to shoot, Ye Jingcheng's money may be enough to operate, but don't ignore the fact that there are also photography tools.

On the contrary, the scenes and personnel required for the second part are very small, and most of the scenes are located in a few places, such as roast shops, houses, and back alleys of shops.

The number of characters in the film is not much, mainly one male and female protagonist, one supporting actor and one supporting actor, and a few more tricks. The film is relatively niche, but the low investment is a highlight.

"Huh? This theme is quite innovative, a bloody horror movie, right? Huang Jing said this, and the interest on her face was obviously reduced.

In his opinion, this kind of film is not easy to make, and the film that blindly focuses on bloody scenes is not in line with the audience's taste, and secondly, the scene created with current props is too false, even a three-year-old child may not be disgusting.

"Don't be disappointed yet, listen to me finish the plot first."

Indeed, the selling point of this movie is blood and horror, but it can be classified into another genre in later generations, that is, crime films.

"Human Meat Barbecued Pork Bun" itself is based on a real case, so in the whole film, the criminal psychology of the criminal is first exposed, and then the criminal motive is further analyzed in the process, which is more realistic than the script produced by the screenwriter.

The proprietress of the roast meat shop is coquettish by nature, but her husband Chang can't satisfy her in terms of sex, so that she often yells at her. Juan's cousin Ya Fung came to Hong Kong Island from the mainland to visit relatives, and Ah Fung was stimulated to the point of mental problems when she was a child, and she was very vindictive, so she launched a series of revenge ......"

Ye Jingcheng began to recall the plot of the whole movie, and Huang Jing's interest was rekindled as the plot unfolded.

After listening to the whole story, Huang Jingden patted his thigh and praised: "Okay! It's so good. A completely subversive gore film, but with a lot of black humor injected under the bloody gimmick. The most important thing is that this drama is absolutely low-cost, and I estimate that about 200,000 yuan can shoot the whole drama. ”

Ye Jingcheng had an urge to roll his eyes at this fat boy, but this film was a classic in the eyes of later generations, and the box office at that time was as high as five million.

The most important point is this profit ratio, the cost of 200,000 yuan in exchange for 5 million box office, a full 25 times the difference, even robbing a bank is not so easy.

Five million doesn't seem like much, but in 1998, when it was released, it was already at the upstream level, and there were more than 80 movies released that year, half of which only had a box office of one or two million, and more than 20 had a box office of less than 500,000.

Because pirated CDs were already sold very cheaply at that time, and it coincided with the wave of the financial crisis, no one chose to enter the cinema at all. The most popular movie only has a box office of more than 100,000 yuan, and it is estimated that I don't want to make it too ugly.

"Fat Chip, first of all, let me ask you a question, can you get a complete set of photographic equipment and manpower?" Ye Jingcheng asked.

This question is not difficult for Huang Jing at all, although he himself does not have this ability. However, he has a good father who is a big director, so there is absolutely no problem with the purchase of equipment.

So Huang Jing patted his chest and promised: "It's absolutely no problem, but if you want a complete set of photographic equipment, the price will be about thirty." ”

Thirty? Ye Jingcheng knew that the other party was referring to 300,000, this fat boy counted his pocket, right?

Ye Jingcheng has earned a total of 420,000 yuan in the past few months, of which 40,000 yuan was taken out and distributed to Chen Hu and the others, and now the funds in his hand are less than 380,000.

300,000 yuan is used to buy photography equipment, and the remaining 80,000 may be enough to invite actors, but labor, lunches, venues, and lala miscellaneous all need money, at least he has to come up with another 100,000 yuan to fill the hole.

In the end, Ye Jingcheng paid attention to Huang Jing and asked, "Fat boy, are you interested in investing in movies?" ”

"You mean... Let me take a stake in this movie? Huang Jing was a little incredulous, although he had thought about making his own movie, but the little money on hand was not enough to prepare.

Ye Jingcheng nodded, and Huang Jing had a new question: "However, I can only take out 108,000 at most in my hands." ”

Although he said this, he could already see from his expression that Huang Jing was eager to try. Let's not talk about whether this movie can sell high box office, but the cost and routine of this drama are worth investing in.

200,000 yuan is a lot for an individual, but according to the normal routine of shooting a movie, the cost has to be at least several times.

"100,000, I'll give you 30% of the shares."

Ye Jingcheng did not simply find the other party to fill in the hole. It's about planning for your future. After all, he himself is new to the city, and many things need an executor, and he originally planned to slowly get in touch with some actors and crew.

Now as long as he can persuade Huang Jing to contribute to a joint venture, the preliminary preparation of "Human Meat Roast Shop" can save a lot of time, and the interpersonal shortcomings Huang Jing can also be solved, and it can save a lot of unnecessary trouble.

And Huang Jing grew up on the set with Huang Tianlin since he was a child, and all kinds of people will come into contact with him, which he does not have.

Coupled with Huang Jing's title of a sharpshooter in later generations, in fact, no matter how fast the film is made, there is a time limit, mainly because interpersonal relationships play a big role in this, for example, before each shooting, the efficiency of the whole film will naturally be improved.

"Deal!" One hundred thousand was enough to empty all of Citrine's savings, but he was extremely excited.

It's not that he doesn't want to ask for more benefits, but is there a comparison between a blockbuster movie with a 30% interest and a garbage movie with 90% interest? If it weren't for Pan Yingzi as an intermediary, he would rather believe that Ye Jingcheng was a liar.

This interest seems to be taken advantage of by Ye Jingcheng, but in fact, he is definitely the one who suffers.

The 80,000 yuan invested does not include the photographic equipment, but the photographic equipment will be worn out every time it is used, and the maintenance fee will be 10,000 yuan, and if you rent it from others, it will cost at least two or three thousand yuan a day.

In addition, Ye Jingcheng dedicated the most important thing of a movie - the script. No matter how good a director is, if he doesn't have a good script, it is also difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.
