At a drink shop called "Maihan" on the campus of HKUST, Li Mo met again this director who had been busy all afternoon, not very old but with a beard and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, full of artist's style.

At this moment, the other party was sitting at the bar with another crew member chatting.

Then Li Mo stepped forward to confirm that he took the initiative to greet him, "Director Zhou Fujian? ”

Seeing the stranger who suddenly arrived next to him, Zhou Fujian held the frame of his glasses with one hand, and said with surprise on his face, "Nemo, the ugly fish? ”

"That's a pen name, just call me Li Mo."

"Oops!" After confirming that he was the author of "The Sinking Country", Zhou Fujian stood up suddenly, stretched out his hand and said, "I didn't expect it to be so fateful, I have admired it for a long time." ”

"Hehe, it's over."

After shaking hands with the other party, Li Mo sat on the stool next to him and ordered a glass of juice.

Obviously, the crew next to him also learned about Li Mo's origin through the director's introduction, and directly praised him, "I didn't expect the author of such an excellent work to be a college student, amazing." ”

"There's something wrong with Director Zhou's script, I'm very worried about you."

After a few idle sentences, Li Mo took the initiative to lead the topic to the micro-movie script, after all, in addition to meeting with his alliance leader, he also came for business.

"Hey." Seeing that Li Mo took the initiative to mention this matter, Zhou Fujian sighed helplessly, "What about our script, it was originally purchased by the automobile company with a reward, in addition to the screenwriting fee of 500 words and a later reward, if it is played on the website designated by the investor for every 100,000 times, the author will have another 10,000 yuan bonus." ”

Then I was supposed to follow the process to conduct the script audition, but the planning manager surnamed Qian took the matter over, and I don't know where to get a script to get this reward. Since people swear that there is no problem, I can only shoot it, who knew that something went wrong today, the producer found out that the script was plagiarized, and then the screenwriter in charge also evaporated. The investors are not stupid, so let's say that we have to make a book that satisfies them within a week, otherwise in addition to terminating the cooperation, we will be sued for breach of contract..."

When he said this, Zhou Fujian looked indignant, thinking of this, he could only pick up a drink in his hand and drink it all.

As a director, the most depressing thing is this, there are people, equipment, and venues, but there is no script.

"Oh..."

Li Mo nodded, probably understanding the ins and outs.

Then Zhou Fujian put down the cup and asked, "Brother, you just said in the group that you can help me find a suitable script?" Not kidding, right? ”

Li Mo thought for a while and replied, "The script... I do, and if I really need it, I can do it in two days..."

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Fujian and the crew staff next to him couldn't help but be stunned, one script in two days? Although it's a micro-movie, it's too exaggerated...

"Well, Brother Li Mo, did you write this script yourself, or did you write it through other channels? …”

Zhou Fujian then asked cautiously, he didn't want Qian Weiqiang's matter to happen to him again.

"That's the case, I've also written some similar manuscripts indiscriminately before..."Thinking of the special surnames of these things, Li Mo had to find an excuse to prevaricate temporarily, "As for the quality of the script, it must be guaranteed, but it's a little troublesome..."

seemed to understand what Li Mo meant, and Zhou Fujian, who was a fan of the other party's books, assured, "Don't worry, as long as the manuscript can be passed, I will help you apply for a price increase, 10,000 yuan for the screenwriting fee plus 5,000, I believe that for the sake of the company, the boss of Linda Film and Television will not be entangled in this." What's more, everyone knows this matter at present, and now that the filming is delayed by one day, the crew will have to spend a lot of expenses, and it will definitely not be bad for the 5,000 yuan if it can be solved as soon as possible. ”

Zhou Fujian's achievements in the book "Sinking Country" are also clear, if you want to write a script, it will naturally affect the creation of this book, and you must add some benefits to the author.

But obviously his understanding is a little biased, Li Mo then explained, "Actually, it's not for this reason, I'll just say it directly, you don't have to help me apply for a price increase for the screenwriter's fee, it's enough to have that follow-up reward, but this 10,000 yuan needs to be put into the card before I can take out the book... As for the reason... It's hard to say for the time being..."

Hearing Li Mo's request, director Zhou Fujian and the staff member next to him looked at each other, showing doubts.

"Of course, I also know that such a request is a bit unruly, if the script is not good, I will naturally have to return the money."

The reason why Li Mo made such a request was also very simple - he first needed a sum of money to buy goods in the Plane Mall, and then resell them to the other party.

Even though Li Mo personally has to take a certain amount of risk, he still has a certain degree of confidence when he thinks of the follow-up high-priced rewards, coupled with the sweetness brought by "Sinking Country".

"This money is nothing..."Zhou Fujian smiled awkwardly, out of trust in Li Mo, he planned to advance this fund himself, "I will use mobile banking to transfer it to your account when I go back in a while, do you have any other questions?" ”

"What's more, the female lead of the new script continues to let Han Xiuyin play the role." Li Mo then said his second request, "Do you know this actor?" ”

"Well, no problem, in fact, I am also very optimistic about this girl, and it is also Qian Weiqiang's opinion to let her leave." Zhou Fujian then nodded, "As long as there is a new book, these are easy to say." ”

"In that case, I don't have any other problems, I will print the new script and hand it over to you within two days after receiving the payment."

Seeing that the other party was so bold, Li Mo didn't play with his heart, after all, the other party was also his own reader, not to mention that he hadn't come up with his works yet, and his heart was relatively empty.

After discussing the script, Zhou Fujian, who was originally a little melancholy, also relaxed a lot, he still trusted the strength of this author, otherwise he would not have rewarded him as an alliance leader.

After chatting with the other party about the novel and the crew for a while, Li Mo got up and said goodbye under the pretext that he still had to update.

"The matter of that book will trouble my brother, and the money will hit your account in a while."

Zhou Fujian, who was anxious to pay for the script, did not continue to stay, and was also ready to go back to the hotel he rented.

After saying goodbye to the two crew members, Li Mo walked back to the dormitory and began to browse the products that met the requirements one by one in the plane mall.

Since movie scripts do not bring direct benefits, they need to be invested in filming to show benefits, and there are greater risks, so as in reality, the price of scripts in the plane mall is not too expensive compared to other goods.

Even so, the price of the script is still several grades more expensive than that of online novels, starting at two hundred words per thousand.

Therefore, the starting price of the 20,000-word micro-film script that Zhou Fujian needs is 4,000.

To make such a single business, Li Mo's net income is about five or six thousand yuan.

Of course, what he values more is the reward in the later stage, that is, a reward of 10,000 yuan per 100,000 on-demand views, if this work can be as popular as the novel, the income of tens of thousands of yuan is not a problem.

For Li Mo, who is in the period of capital accumulation, every capital in the early stage may become a leverage fulcrum for leveraging greater wealth.

…

"Ding Ding ~ Ding Ding ~"

As soon as he returned to the dormitory, Li Mo received a message from the bank, "Your account will be transferred to 10,000 yuan at 21:00 on June 1"

Seeing this information, Li Mo couldn't help but be taken aback, he didn't expect the other party to be so fast, and it seemed that he was also disturbed by the script.

Now that the funds have arrived, he did not delay, and immediately entered the plane Taobao Mall, ready to buy new goods.

What Li Mo bought this time was a 20,000-word micro-film script called "Remote Control", which cost 4,000 yuan and contributed two membership points.

It's not that Li Mo is reluctant to buy more expensive and better books, it's just that those scripts with four or five hundred words or even more expensive also have considerable requirements for shooting equipment and shooting standards, at least in Li Mo's opinion, it is difficult for such a small crew to meet the conditions.

Therefore, he still chose the most appropriate low-budget feature film.

"I hope it won't be returned..."

Thinking that he was facing a loss of 4,000 yuan at the same time, Li Mo also prayed secretly in his heart.

After all, the product is different from other goods, and once you look at it, you can't return it, which avoids the possibility of plane buyers exploiting loopholes, and if you can't sell it, you can only smash it in your own hands.
