Chapter 19: Cameo Appearance
Chapter 19: Friendship cameo
After Zhang Yi finished speaking, he left, and by the time the fat man came back to his senses, he had already walked away.
"Wait! I'm still in business! Wang Jing shouted.
The box office of "Baby Zhi Duoxing" is booming, and there is naturally no problem with the sequel, the main purpose of the fat man's visit this time is not to sue Zhang Yi for a box office of more than five million, but to ask for the script of the sequel.
Seeing that Zhang Yi didn't mean to stop, he shook his head, and then comforted himself: "Don't be like a little child!" ”
The fat man left, he didn't catch up, in his opinion, the sequel script is not in a hurry, and he also knows that the guy is writing the script with the fat man during this time, even if he says it, I'm afraid there will be no time.
"Baby Zhiduoxing" has too many moviegoers, suitable for all ages, and suitable for a family to watch at the same time, therefore, with the passage of time, not only has it not decreased, but it is gradually increasing, and the attendance rate has averaged down, and it is 90% of the day! That's a terrifying number. On the fourth day of the performance, the box office on Christmas Day was nearly 2 million!
The box office in a week is down, more than 12 million! With a box office of more than 20 million, that's no longer a problem, and no one doubts it. What the whole Xiangjiang knows is whether it can break the record of more than 26 million in "Best Partner" in New Art City! Moreover, it is still quite possible to break this record!
Because with the school holidays, the box office will definitely pick up.
Zhang Yi didn't pay too much attention, because in his opinion, the movie was not his at all. The script, which can be described as copied, has some changes, but not much. And the movie is not made by him. There is no sense of accomplishment!
If before, if I hadn't gotten a lot of manuscript fees for "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", maybe I would really be as excited as a fat man. Because, he's going to send it!
It's a pity that a book brought Zhang Yi nearly two million in income, and Ming Pao is ready to be printed and distributed. And the royalties are definitely not much more than what "Baby Zhiduoxing" earns!
Baohe Company, Hong Jinbao threw down the newspaper, shook his head and sighed, and said to Cen Jianxun with a wry smile: "This time, the Shaw Brothers are proud of their eyebrows. If you break the record of the movie in New Arts City, I don't know if you can reverse the current situation of Shaw Brothers! ”
Cen Jianxun shook his head and said, "Shaw Brothers is no longer able to turn the situation around with one or two movies!" What's more, in recent years, Shao Yifu has focused on TV, even if "Baby Zhiduoxing" breaks the record of "Best Partner", it is impossible for him to put the experience back again! ”
"Boss, there is a student named Zhang Yi looking for you below, saying that he made an appointment with you!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and then I heard a person outside.
When Hong Jinbao heard this, he suddenly opened the door, and then asked with some urgency: "Where is the person?" ”
"Downstairs!"
The staff member was a little surprised and a little puzzled, and hurriedly said. Even Cen Jianxun, who was in the office, was surprised.
Zhang Yi was in the hall downstairs, and as soon as he sat down, he saw Hong Jinbao coming down in a hurry, looked at Zhang Yi and said excitedly: "Haha! Ah Yi, I miss you to death! Go, go, say upstairs! ”
Zhang Yi didn't expect Hong Jinbao to be so enthusiastic, and then he thought about it and understood.
"Brother Sanmao, this is the script! I'm sorry, I've been a bit busy in this short period of time, so I'm just sending it to you now! Zhang Yi smiled, handed over the script, and said.
"Huh! It's okay! It's okay! I haven't congratulated Ah Yi on the box office success of the movie written by Ah Yi! 20 million is no longer a problem, I'm afraid it will break the record of the movie in Xinyi City, pointing to the 3,000 mark! Hong Jinbao took the script with a smile and said.
"Sanmao, who is this?" Listening to the conversation between the two, Cen Jianxun now finally understands that he and Wei Hong Jinbao were so excited and eager just now, and the person who came turned out to be the screenwriter of "Baby Zhiduoxing". He was also shocked at this time, he didn't expect that the screenwriter of the movie was actually a teenager wearing a middle school uniform. "Huh! Jianxun, you can't think of it, this is Zhang Yi, the screenwriter of "Baby Zhiduoxing"! The last time I told you the story, it came from him! Hong Jinbao said with a smile, "Ah Yi, this is Cen Jianxun, who used to be the editor-in-chief of "Outside" magazine, and now he has invited me to Baohe!" ”
"Cen Sheng, hello! Just call me Ah Yi! Zhang Yi stretched out his hand and said. Zhang Yi knows that Cen Jianxun is the elder brother of Honggu in Wufuxing, but he is not a professional actor, but an excellent producer!
"Hello!" Cen Jianxun shook Zhang Yi's hand and said. The look of shock on his face had not yet dissipated. Although he guessed it just now, after confirming it from Hong Jinbao's mouth, he was still shocked.
"Brother Sanmao, in addition to sending the script over this time, I also want to ask you for a favor!" Zhang Yi said.
"Oh? What's up? As long as I can do it, I will definitely help! When Hong Jinbao heard this, he was stunned at first, then rejoiced, and said.
"Huh! Then thank you Brother Sanmao! Zhang Yi smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing, I just want to wait for you to make a movie, can you follow the crew and learn something!" ”
"What do I say! It's simple, you, as a screenwriter, have nothing to blame for following the crew! As for what you want to learn, as long as you ask, it's absolutely fine! When Hong Jinbao heard this, he said, "What do you want to learn?" ”
"Hey, hey!" Zhang Yi smiled and said, "I want to learn to make movies!" I promised someone to make a movie for her to watch next year! ”
"You want to make a movie?" Hong Jinbao looked at Zhang Yi with some surprise. The screenwriter has no regrets about making movies, but the problem is that Zhang Yici is sixteen years old, and he will only be seventeen next year. A sixteen-year-old screenwriter is already surprising, and a seventeen-year-old director, let alone a seventeen-year-old director.
"Huh! Just entertain yourself! Zhang Yi smiled and said.
"Oh! Don't forget me then, I'll show my face in your movie! Hong Jinbao said with a smile.
"Okay, but Brother Sanmao, I'm poor, the budget for this movie is definitely not high, like you, I'm afraid I can't afford it! Let's make a cameo, the salary shouldn't be high, right? Zhang Yi hurriedly responded, but when it came to the back, the taste changed.
When Hong Jinbao and Cen Jianxun heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and then they understood that this little guy was still a layman.
"Friendship cameo, don't get paid!" Hong Jinbao said with a smile and said, "However, if it is a starring role or a supporting role with more scenes, I will give you a very low friendship price!" ”
"Ahh That's still a friendly cameo! It's good to say that if you shoot well, if you don't shoot well, won't it ruin Brother Sanmao's reputation! Zhang Yi said.
He will make a movie next year, although there are some elements of games, but he doesn't want to mess it up, so he has put in some effort, otherwise he won't ask to learn from Hong Jinbao's crew!
But no matter how hard he tried, he didn't have any information at this time to make a good movie that he didn't know about making that movie yet! Of course, there is another important reason, he doesn't want to owe Hong Jinbao a favor. Whether Hong Jinbao is a starring actor or a supporting actor for a friendship price, whether the movie is made well or not, he will owe favors.
The worst thing in this world is human affection!
"Listening to the meaning of Ah Yi's words just now, it seems that you are ready to invest yourself?" Cen Jianxun suddenly asked.
"Huh! I want to be a director, I'm afraid no boss is willing to invest! What's more, the game is a game to entertain yourself! The budget is not high, and I can afford that little money! Zhang Yi smiled and said.
Zhang Yi doesn't have too many expectations for the movie he wants to make. I don't expect much at the box office, let alone any bullshit awards! As for why it was filmed, it may be just the right time to talk to Zhou Huimin. Or maybe it's just fun!
It's just that Zhang Yi thinks that if you want to play, you have to play! Otherwise, wouldn't it be a relive in vain!
"Huh! If those bosses know that Ah Yi is the screenwriter of "Baby Zhiduoxing", I am afraid that many people are rushing to invest! Hong Jinbao said with a smile.
Zhang Yi smiled, naturally knowing that Hong Jinbao was just a compliment. People who can write scripts don't necessarily make movies!
"Ah Yi has thought about making any movies? If you don't mind, let us give you a closer look! Cen Jianxun said.
"I've thought about this! First-time guidance, there are too many deficiencies and limited ability! The scene should be small, and the characters should be few! So to shoot well, the only way to work hard is to work hard from the plot and dialogue! Zhang Yi said.
"Oh? This is very demanding from the script! However, this is not a problem for Ah Yi! Hong Jinbao then said.
"Does Ah Yi have any specific ideas?" Cen Jianxun asked.
When Zhang Yi heard this, a small-budget movie "Crazy Stone" flashed in his mind, but he immediately denied it. Because although this movie is a small cost, it requires a lot of director's skills. Zhang Yi doesn't think he has that ability yet, and he doesn't think that this ability can be achieved quickly and overnight!
Suddenly, Zhang Yi thought of another small-cost, high-grossing and high-reputation movie "Nightclub. Supermarket!
