Chapter 57: This girl is too treacherous
The preparations for the new play are proceeding in an orderly manner.
The preparations were very satisfying to Yang Lin, and Ju Jueliang's command was determined, and the arrangements were orderly, quite like a general. Wei Jiahui is delicate and quick-witted, these two people are "two swords combined", and there is almost nothing to do with Yang Lin. In addition to putting forward some suggestions of "program surname", Yang Lin is improving the script of "People on the Journey".
This "People on the Journey" by Yang Lin is very different from the sensational Singapore TV series in the original history. Whether in the plot or scene, a certain amount of deletion has been made, adding a lot of popular elements of the present or the near future, of course, Yang Lin will never let it out of society. "One step ahead is a genius, and too much ahead is a madman", Yang Lin still understands.
Since the definition of this play is now a "youth idol drama", the emotional entanglement and the shape of the actors are the focus of the whole play. "Idol drama" is to be handsome for men and beautiful for women, you love me, I love him, and love is dead and alive. Filming such a scene is not easy to say, but it is not difficult to say that it is difficult, as long as you can grasp this center, success is inevitable.
In recent days, he and Wei Jiahui have contacted Coca-Cola, Ferrari, Rolex and other famous brands non-stop, except for Rolex's refusal and replacement for Patek Philippe, they have signed "sponsorship" to varying degrees, and the total "sponsorship" fee has been 4.3 million, plus 1 million on TVB, the budget of the entire "People on the Journey" has reached more than 5 million. This is almost comparable to a mid-range investment movie! Take Wang Jing's "Flower Heart" as an example, the investment is only 5 million. Remembering the surprised expression on Shao Tycoon's face when he took the budget to Shao Yifu to sign, Yang Lin laughed for a while. At this time, Shao Tycoon has never seen the world of "burning money".
It can be said that the investment in this "People on the Journey" has been "unprecedented" in the Xiangjiang TV industry, and of course it is impossible to be the last resort, because of the existence of Yang Lin, a big-hearted rebel.
For this reason, the Hong Kong press circles have recently been able to get a gimmick, and through various media such as newspapers, television, and radio, they have launched wanton bombardments throughout Hong Kong, most of which have been bombardment of "People on the Journey".
"Oriental Daily" wrote: "A rookie director in the TV industry has no experience in reading and producing a TV series, not only does he not keep a low profile and learn modestly, but he swaggers through the market and grandstands, which is inevitably lacking in heart and has a worrying future." ”
This is quite polite, and the latest "Sing Tao Yuebao" even openly criticized TVB: "How should a TV series with an investment of more than 4 million be filmed?" Is it like making a movie, buying a building and blowing it up, or dozens of luxury cars crashing into the street? Or did TVB take the so-called 'sponsorship fee' of the investor, falsely report the accounts, and swallow it privately? Could it be that under the aggressive posture of ATV, wireless has run out of skills, and it has to rely on these crooked ways to attract the attention of the audience, or even take the opportunity to make money? ”
Yang Lin has reason to suspect that this article is likely to be written by ATV who paid for a gunman.
Ming Pao's point of view is much more objective, but it also expressed concern about the future of the play: "With such a big production and a fledgling young man in charge, TVB's decision was a bit hasty. And those companies or consortia that have paid a lot of 'sponsorship fees', have they ever thought that the money is likely to be wasted? Of course, Mr. Shao Yifu's vision is second to none in the industry, and he will inevitably think of these aspects, but he still puts this big production in the hands of such a young newcomer, is he optimistic about this drama or this director? We'll see. ”
The magazine "Film Fortnightly", which has always focused on movies, explained its views from different angles: "Whether this drama is successful or not, we have to admit that it has opened up a new idea for all our investors: it can be pulled in this way!" The business method of "People on the Journey" has long been common in the United States, but it is a new topic in Hong Kong. Yang Lin, a young man from the mainland, brought us into this new field with a pioneering and enterprising spirit. The times are progressing, society is developing, and our film and television industry must also keep pace with the times, pioneer and innovate, and be in line with the world. In any case, many years later, in the history of Xiangjiang Film and Television, the drama "People on the Journey" will be remembered, and the director named Yang Lin will be remembered. At that time, we will all say from the bottom of our hearts: thank you! ”
Yang Lin laughed, if "Sing Tao Bao" was hired by ATV to suppress wireless. Then this "Film Biweekly" is his Yang Lin's royal mouthpiece. That's, isn't it? Also written into history?
He was feeling funny, a gust of fragrant wind penetrated his nose, and when he looked up, he saw Jia Yuyao standing in front of him, followed by the "legal counsel" Huang Ziwei.
He is now in an office that The Peninsula has set aside for the show. To say that Jia Yuyao, although this girl is a bit strong and unreasonable, she has one advantage, she counts when she speaks. Since negotiating the "conditions" with Yang Lin, he took the initiative to cooperate with the work of the crew, and even the "working meals" were provided free of charge. This flattered all the crew, and the reputation of Yang Lin, a "rookie" producer, skyrocketed. After all, most of the crew are ordinary income employees, and once or twice a year, dining at a place like the Peninsula Hotel is already a "luxury", and many people have never been there at all. Now the treatment of "People on the Journey" is second to none in the entire TVB, and it is envied, jealous and hated by various departments, which has made a lot of eyes red.
It is said that in the crew of Zhao Zhenqiang's "Lai Buyi's Clever Calculation", some staff complained about the difficult conditions, which made Zhao Zhenqiang angry and rude. Later, he also learned from Yang Lin to look around for "sponsorship", but he was a costume drama, and there was no selling point at all, and the script had already been set and was being filmed, so he didn't get a penny.
Jia Yuyao looked at the cigarette between Yang Lin's fingertips, and then at the ashtray full of cigarette butts, frowned, and stopped talking, just waved her hand, motioned for Huang Ziwei to step forward, and said crisply: "Sign it." ”
In Yang Lin's puzzled eyes, Huang Ziwei took out a document from his briefcase, handed it to Yang Lin, winked at him, and motioned him to see it clearly. Yang Lin took a closer look and almost became angry.
What documents? It's a deed of sale!
At the beginning of that piece of paper, there were three words "contract" written on it, and then there were no less than thirty or forty clauses. The most outrageous thing is that he actually wrote: "Yang Lin's colleagues who enjoy the rights brought by the contract also have due obligations." The following is a list of 20 "obligation" conditions, such as "When I need it, I must accompany my family to dinner, and I must not refuse for any reason", and "As long as I need it, I must arrive within half an hour, and I must not refuse for any reason", pick! You have to come here with whatever you need? Are you really a brother and a cowherd? He pointed to this one and rolled his eyes: "Am I shitting, and I have to put on my pants and run without wiping my ass?" ”
Yang Lin even doubted that the scene he was filming was "My Sassy Girlfriend"?
Jia Yuyao didn't speak, she just smiled sweetly, as if she was admiring a tiger trapped in a cage, and she was so anxious that she couldn't do anything.
"No!" Yang Lin threw away the contract and was neat.
Jia Yuyao was not angry, but smiled crookedly, sighed and said: "That's no way, our Peninsula Hotel is going to be renovated recently, and there is probably no place to film your crew, I'm really embarrassed." ”
! It's a threat! Chiguoguo's coercion! Yang Lin said angrily: "Didn't we all talk about it?" Eat one's word? I always thought you were a gentleman of your word! ”
I don't know how to do it, it seems that Jia Yuyao loves to see Yang Lin holding back her fire, and the more angry Yang Lin is, the happier she is. smiled very gently: "Xiangjiang is a contract society, there is no basis for words, everything is based on what is written on paper, and it cannot be denied in black and white." Besides, I'm not a gentleman, just a weak little woman. ”
Are you a weak little woman? You're a female T-Rex! Yang Lin said angrily: "You are simply an unequal treaty!" "This girl is too poisonous, isn't she? She didn't say it beforehand, but now the crew is all ready, just waiting to start. What's more, the whole Xiangjiang is watching, whether it is a god or a demon, in one move. At this time, if Jia Yuyao regrets and the Peninsula Hotel does not provide a venue, not only will the shooting plan be disrupted and a lot of money will be lost, but it will also become the laughing stock of the whole Xiangjiang! This is pinching his name!
Jia Yuyao was very happy, hum! Call me a "washing board", tell you say that I "sell leftover cane", now you know how powerful Miss Ben is, right?
Looking at Jia Yuyao's expression, Yang Lin knew that it was impossible to compromise without compromise, and it was hard to know that this girl would really kick the crew out. I had no choice but to pick up the pen angrily and sign the contract. When he was about to put down the pen, he paused again, picked up the paper and looked at it carefully, but he didn't see anything wrong. looked at Huang Ziwei again, and whispered, "There are no traps here, right?" "With this girl's surname, give him a little trap or something, it's really uncertain.
Huang Ziwei smiled bitterly, looked at Yang Lin with some "pitiful", and made a helpless expression: "I'm sorry, I'm working for Miss Jia." "Dude, ask for more blessings!
Yang Lin was helpless, a person like Jia Yuyao, the contract drafted must have been instructed by a lawyer who doesn't know how powerful, even if there are any text traps, with his level and familiarity with the laws of Xiangjiang, he can't see it. When the heart is horizontal, the teeth are bitten, and the expression of going to the execution ground is full of anger, and he signs his name with anger, which is called a dragon flying and phoenix dance, and the power penetrates the back of the paper! I almost punctured the paper.
Jia Yuyao put away the contract with a smile and said: "I wish you a smooth shooting, and the ratings are hot!" Just left, leaving only Yang Lin with a graceful back.
Huang Ziwei coughed dryly and said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, I'm embarrassed." ”
This guy is still a kind person, there is no schadenfreude, Yang Lin has a dark face, and waves his hand: "It's none of your business, I know." ”
Huang Ziwei nodded and shook hands with Yang Lin: "If you have time to sit together, I will leave first." ”
Sending Huang Ziwei away, the more Yang Lin thought about it, the more depressed he became, and yelled: "Have a meeting!" He decided to turn his grief and anger into strength, and transformed his endless hatred for Jia Yuyao into the filming of the TV series.
As a result, those cast and crew members were doomed to tragedy.
