0007 【Homesickness】
Speaking of this, Wang Zhonglei shrugged his shoulders, obviously unable to meet Shao Shuaijun's requirements. Huayi Brothers' investment in filming movies has many aspects to consider, and it cannot all be carried out according to the director's intentions, not to mention that Shao Shuaijun is just a pink newcomer. Feng Xiaogang is a big enough name, in terms of casting, except for one or two protagonists, the other roles are not arranged by Huayi Brothers.
"Xiao Shao has a surname, okay, 5 million buy out all the copyrights of "Buried Alive", everyone makes friends. If you figure it out in the future, we Huayi Brothers welcome talented Junjie like Xiao Shao to join us at any time. ”
After shaking hands, Shao Shuaijun nodded and said, "Mr. Wang looks up to me, the next movie is ready, and I will trouble Mr. Wang to help distribute it." ”
"Welcome."
"Buried Alive" was finally sold at a price of 5 million before tax, and after the transfer, 2 million was invoiced, saving more than 100,000 taxes, and getting a total of 4.58 million yuan. Large companies have formed professional tax evasion methods for tax payment, Shao Shuaijun is not stupid enough not to agree, hello, I am good, everyone's good things, just put it in your heart.
got the money and had something to do with Wang Zhonglei, Shao Shuaijun was very satisfied. As for the rest of the submission, copying, distribution, arranging theaters, and even making DVDs and sending them to film festivals, there is no need to care. Of course, when the contract was signed, it was stipulated that once "Buried Alive" won the award, Shao Shuaijun, as the main creator, had to cooperate to attend the event.
Shao Shuaijun hates to appear under the flash now, and he didn't want to agree to this, but think about it, although "Buried Alive" in his previous life was very popular at the Sundance Film Festival and the evaluation was good, he didn't win any awards, so why not sign it.
Putting aside "Buried Alive", Shao Shuaijun refocused his attention on "Crazy Stone". However, before preparing, Shao Shuaijun was ready to go home first.
Hometown timidity.
After getting off the train to change the bus, and then getting off the bus, walking on the cement road in his hometown, Shao Shuaijun suddenly became nervous. Speaking of which, he has not returned home since failing the exam in this life, and in the previous life, he did not return home for more than a year. Since he embarked on the road of the entertainment industry, the relationship with his family has not been very good.
The entertainment industry is very busy, especially for people like him who are not in a high position, he must seize the opportunity every moment, and if he is not careful, he may be robbed of his job by others. During the New Year's holidays, when others are gone, he has to stay and take care of the crew, otherwise he will not be able to keep his position as assistant director.
Filming is hard but can't make money, the boss is not small, and he doesn't even have a target, and his family has always been very opposed to him continuing this road. And he felt that his family was not supportive, so he had anger in his stomach, second, he didn't mix, third, he didn't have time, nearly ten years, he went home no more than ten times, and he didn't stay for two or three days before leaving.
Especially that year, my father's liver cirrhosis, and he was busy filming, so he never went back to take a look. Half a year later, his father was discharged from the hospital, Shao Shuaijun returned home, and his mother threw all the things he bought on the road outside, denied him as a son, and did not give him a bite to eat.
That night, Shao Shuaijun sat outside on the side of the road and sat until midnight, smoking three packs and a half of cigarettes. At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, his skinny father brought him a bowl of noodles.
It is hard for Shao Shuaijun to imagine that no matter how much he was wronged outside, he had never cried, and he couldn't stop crying that night. The next day, he left 70,000 yuan for his family, with an empty pocket, and rushed to Hengdian to film, and when he left, he secretly swore that he would not come back if he didn't mix well in this life.
I went for more than a year, until I had a car accident......
"Whew."
There were a lot of ideas, and his heart was beating fast, and Commander Shao Shuai let out a long breath: "I didn't succeed in my previous life, but I should be considered successful in this life." Dad, Mom, my son will continue to succeed, what I owe you in the previous life, I will make up for it in this life! ”
His hometown is a dilapidated township, and his home is at the fork in the north of the town, a two-story building, which can be regarded as a well-off home. I made a phone call before, and soon Shao Shuaijun walked to the door of the house, his mother was wearing an apron, standing at the door and waving, smiling very brightly. This is the smile that Shao Shuaijun almost forgot in his previous life.
His steps quickened, and his eyes had the benefit of warm liquid, and Shao Shuaijun threw himself into his mother's arms.
"What is this kid doing, trying to strangle his mother to death!"
"Huh."
Shao Shuaijun's tears of laughter flowed out.
It's the weekend, my parents, who are elementary school teachers, don't have to go to class, and my sister is not at home when she is in college. At noon, a table of dishes was gathered, and three people ate around the small table.
"Junzi, how are you doing in Hengdian? Has a director taken a fancy to you? My mother asked, at this time, although the family was dissatisfied with Shao Shuaijun not going to college and went to Hengdian to be an actor, they were not completely disappointed and angry. After all, actors can get ahead if they are successful.
"I changed careers."
Dad was a little unhappy: "Why did you change careers, and what are you going to do?" No matter what you do, you have to start and finish. When you were going to Hengdian, you couldn't stop it, but now it's ......"
"Dad, I've changed careers to become a director."
"What? Director? ”
In the disbelieving eyes of his parents, Shao Shuaijun told the story that he made a small-budget movie and sold it for 5 million, and also took out the signing documents with Huayi Brothers, as well as the bank account stub. After talking for half an hour, the two came back to their senses and understood that their son had made a lot of money.
For their son's success, the two were naturally happy, and the previous dissatisfaction was all gone. The family was happy, Shao Shuaijun stayed at home for a week, rushing to do housework every day, and then visiting relatives and friends. In the previous life, he almost became a lonely person, and he should cherish it in this life.
This week, Shao Shuaijun also conceived and perfected the actor's script, director's script and planning book of "Crazy Stone", and his parents saw that Shao Shuaijun was in a hurry to make a movie and "drove out" him. Before going out, Shao Shuaijun wanted to leave 1 million to his parents, and his parents knew that making a movie cost a lot of money, so they didn't want to excuse themselves, but in the end, they couldn't help it, and left 500,000 yuan.
Then I went to the provincial capital and met my sister.
The elder sister is studying at the University of Finance and is about to graduate, and she is worried about finding a job. Shao Shuaijun is still very afraid of this old lady, and he was beaten by the old sister when he was a child. The old lady's name is Shao Xiaoling, she studied accounting, and she opened an accounting firm by herself in the future, which is very shrewd.
In addition to wanting to contact his sister and brother, Shao Shuaijun also hopes to pull his sister into his crew and manage accounts. The total cost of "Buried Alive" is so much, Shao Shuaijun can manage it, and "Crazy Stone" involves millions of dollars, which must be managed by professional financial personnel.
"The little brother has a future, they are all big directors." In the Western restaurant, Shao Shuaijun invited guests, Shao Xiaoling looked left and right at him, and was surprised, "When will you arrange a role for the elder sister and make the elder sister famous?" ”
"Heh, sister, if you want to act, then come into my crew and help me. I am ready to start filming a new movie, with a total investment of 3 million, which requires professional accounting, but there is a shortage of manpower, and I am not at ease with others. ”
