Chapter 306: Successfully completed
Holding the notebook in his hand, Lao Mouzi looked at it more carefully than last time, and it took more time.
More often than not, he watched and suddenly closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about how the plot inside should be filmed. Sometimes, when he encounters something he doesn't understand, he will ask Liu Yufan what is going on in this place, or what kind of effect it should be.
Obviously, this time he was serious. If he looked at this book at noon, he just appreciated, liked, and had the idea of making it into a movie, but after seeing the complete thing this time, he had already made a decision in his heart. This movie, he has to make it.
Moreover, he vaguely felt that this film was likely to be a major turning point in his life.
Because of this, he did not let go of any detail. After all, Liu Yufan is not a professional screenwriter, and he still writes some details very standardly, and he still needs to further verify them.
Faced with these questions raised by Lao Mouzi, Liu Yufan felt a little embarrassed. Lao Mouzi doesn't have many questions, but every question almost points directly to those unclear and problematic places, which makes him feel the other party's professionalism and ashamed of his carelessness.
The two of them just looked at it like this, and one said that it took more than an hour to read through the book. In this hour's time, Lao Mouzi's pen has already made many supplementary annotations densely on it.
"Yu Fan, you are definitely a genius! An unborn genius! After finishing the book, Lao Mouzi held it in his hand like a treasure, and then looked at Liu Yufan solemnly.
Li Yi, who had been accompanying him all the time, saw that the two of them had just focused on each other, so he was embarrassed to bother, and at this moment, he saw that Lao Mouzi had finished reading the book and chatted with Liu Yufan, so he couldn't help but interject: "Director Zhang, you really plan to make this book into a movie." ”
"Shoot! Of course you have to shoot! Why not shoot? Such a good book is not made into a movie. God will not forgive you! Lao Mouzi said seriously, then looked at Liu Yufan and said: "Yufan, I want this book, how much can you make a price!" ”
Listening to Lao Mouzi's words, Liu Yufan felt speechless for a while, this guy came too fast, and he didn't have anything to do, he talked about buying and selling.
"Huh. Director Zhang, I don't know much about this, so let's do what you want. Liu Yufan didn't know how much money he was supposed to make, although he knew that it was a big-budget and high-grossing movie. But he doesn't know anything about the film screenwriting industry, and he doesn't know how much a script like this should cost.
"Forget it, that's what to do first. Brother Yufan, if you can trust me, you will hand over this book to me, let's not talk about money now, but don't worry, I definitely can't let you suffer, how about it? Lao Mouzi looked at Liu Yufan's reaction. also knew that he really didn't know what was going on, and said with a smile.
"Okay, no problem." Yu Fan readily agreed. The other party is a well-known director in the country, and after getting along for so many days, Yu Fan also recognizes his character, knowing what he said, it will definitely be no worse. I didn't have to worry about him hacking himself, so I happily agreed.
"Well, happy! Haha, I'll be the east tonight, invite the whole crew to eat and eat seafood, haha! "got a good script, Lao Mouzi is in a good mood. With a wave of his hand, he said boldly.
"Hehe, no problem, it's a rare thing to be able to beat Director Zhang and a local tyrant." Li Yi said humorously on the side, which immediately caused the three of them to laugh again.
Six o'clock in the evening. The most luxurious hotel in the Pigeon Swing Scenic Area, the sea viewing hall on the first floor of the Wanghai Building, is resplendent and full of people. On the dining table covered with white cloth for more than 20 meters, a set of delicate silver tableware is shining, 40 or 50 people sit around each other, either bowing their heads and smiling and talking, or tasting fragrant wine, and waiters wearing red cheongsam shuttle between them, serving seasonal special seafood, lobster, sea crab, bird's nest for the guests...... Exquisite food and wine make the hall full of luxurious atmosphere. …,
At the end of the dining table, Lao Mouzi sat in it, looking very excited, on both sides of him, one left and one right sat Li Yi and Liu Yufan, the three of them had just drunk a lot of wine, at this moment Lao Mouzi was very interested, and frequently raised his glass and chatted warmly with the two of them.
"Come, I propose, let's have a toast together. This glass of wine has two meanings, one is to celebrate the successful completion of our crew's film, and the other is to thank Yufan for providing me with such a good book, let's salute China's youngest and most talented screenwriter together! Lao Mouzi said, raised his wine glass and raised it towards Liu Yufan.
"Don't, Director Zhang, I can drink wine, I can't afford what you say, the whole of China has a sea of talents, I don't dare to call it the most talented, hehe." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Yufan, you forgot what I told you again." Lao Mouzi stared at Liu Yufan, shook his head and said, his eyes were already a little drunk.
"Hehe, I haven't forgotten, I can't be presumptuous." Liu Yufan said to him with a smile.
"Yes, Yu Fan, brother will tell you, what is your most precious thing, that is, your head, your mind! Millions, can't be vulgar, you know? Lao Mouzi's hand holding the wine glass was already a little shaky, and after saying this, he didn't care what Liu Yufan did, he drank it first.
Seeing Director Zhang give Liu Yufan such a high evaluation, the eyes of those actors showed envy. Who is Director Zhang? That's the most well-known director in the whole of China. There are not a hundred but dozens of famous celebrities under his hands, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are all over the world. Even those big stars who are red and purple have to bow their heads obediently to say hello when they see him. When did you see him take the initiative to show such closeness to a young man, and still have such a high opinion of him?
Thinking of the phrase "China's most talented screenwriter" that Director Zhang and Liu Yufan said before, those thoughtful actors have probably guessed what is going on, and they are a little more eager when they look at Liu Yufan.
If you want to say who an actor is most afraid of, it is of course the director, but if you want to say who the actor wants to talk to the most, I'm afraid the director is not in the first place, and this screenwriter is definitely the character that the actor has to work hardest to stutter.
Why? Because the screenwriter has your share in your hands. If his hand is crooked, you may be able to show a few more faces in front of the camera, and he may become an instant hit, and if he wants to make you bad, he only needs to crook his hand, and you may not be able to shadow most of the scenes. For such a person, do you say that an actor can not stutter?
At present, many people have guessed that Liu Yufan probably wrote a book, and this director Zhang Da still appreciates and values it very much, maybe he will be ready to make a movie. This information made many people's hearts come alive, and they wondered if they could get close to this Liu Yufan and get a role or something.
Lao Mouzi was obviously too excited, and took the red wine as a drink, drinking it cup after cup, and after a while, he was too drunk to move. Liu Yufan was no better, he was dragged by him to pour wine, and he fell down after a while. When I woke up again, I was already sleeping on the bed in the hotel, and when I looked at the bedside table next to me, it was already more than eight o'clock in the morning.
"Yes, I'm drinking too much again." Liu Yufan sat up from the bed, rubbed his slightly swollen temples, and said with a wry smile.
This wine is really a harmful thing, not to mention delaying things, and hurting the body, but when it comes to the occasion, it really can't be done without him, it really makes people love and hate.
After getting up and pouring a glass of water to drink, and taking a hot shower, Liu Yufan felt a lot more energetic.
The MV has been completed, and the crew has officially disbanded today. Lao Mouzi was busy preparing for the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and before Liu Yufan woke up, he only said hello to Li Yi and flew back to Beijing. …,
Liu Yufan met Li Yi when he was having breakfast downstairs, and when the other party talked to him about it, Liu Yufan couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. It seems that this director Zhang Da is really a movie maniac, just do what he says, and he really has a bit of vigorous and resolute energy.
It's just that with such a big-scale movie, Liu Yufan doesn't know if Lao Mouzi has the strength to make it. You must know that although this is a blockbuster with a box office of more than one billion, it was shot in Hollywood, and it seems that the investment alone is nearly 200 million US dollars, and the actor's salary alone is nearly 80 million.
But these things are not something you should worry about. Everything that should be done on my side has been done, and then I just have to wait for the MV to be officially made and cooperate with Times Records to carry out publicity. As for the filming of the movie, let Lao Mouzi worry about it.
By the way, I almost forgot to tell him about the actor. Others Liu Yufan can not care, but as the soul of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Captain Jack, Liu Yufan doesn't want Lao Mouzi to use other people when filming. In that case, he would indirectly ruin the movie.
Thinking of this, Liu Yufan hurriedly called Lao Mouzi, the other party was still in the car at the moment, received a call from Liu Yufan, and after listening to his matter, the other party laughed.
"Yufan, do you still need you to remind me about this? During the filming in the past two days, I was with that Captain Jack every day, to be honest, this guy was born to play Captain Jack, don't worry, I've already given him down. Lao Mouzi said proudly on the other end of the phone.
"Hehe, Director Zhang is wise." Knowing that the other party had already settled down on someone, Liu Yufan breathed a sigh of relief.
In the meantime, Li Yi was busy returning to the company to prepare for publicity, and Liu Yufan was still a few days away from going to Chai Yuan for exchange. I've been busy enough these days, and I haven't had time to go home to take a look, and now the matter at hand is almost over, Liu Yufan wants to go home and have a look.
Driving the car, along the picturesque coastal road, Liu Yufan drove to his home in a happy mood.
