Chapter 28: Is it hard to be a director?
"Yes"
Nodding calmly, Guan Moyu took off his shoes and entered the house, because his impression of the other party was reduced, so that he directly decided to be polite with him, and he was also mentally prepared for the purpose of this trip.
Looking at Li Jiaming who was walking in front, Zhang Ya complained in a dissatisfied voice: "What kind of attitude do you have?" Don't forget that we're here today. ”
"Asking for someone?" Guan Moyu was stunned for a while, and looked at Zhang Ya in puzzlement.
Looking at Guan Moyu, who was puzzled by her, Zhang Ya only felt a headache, and she didn't know that she was looking forward to it before, why was she so indifferent now? And, what does that look of doubt mean?
"Brother Ming is new. Wave. One of the tide directors, his fame is not small, you pay attention. After mentioning a word, Zhang Ya didn't say more, and walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Li Jiaming in front.
A flash of clarity flashed in his eyes, for the new. Wave. Director Chao, Guan Moyu still knows something, this is talking about a group of directors in the late seventies and early eighties, but in addition to knowing that Tsui Hark is new. Wave. Except for Director Chao, other people don't have the slightest understanding.
"Sit down, tea or coffee?" Li Jiaming asked while beckoning the two to sit down.
"Bring me a cup of coffee." Zhang Ya said with a smile.
"No problem." Nodding in response, Li Jiaming turned his head to look at Guan Moyu.
"Thanks, bring me a cup of coffee too."
"Okay, wait a minute."
Turning his head and looking around, the entire office is located on the third floor of TVB, whether it is the location or size, it reflects that Li Jiaming's status in TVB is not low.
"Coffee." Li Jiaming walked back with coffee, still smiling on his face.
"Thank you."
The two got up with a smile and were polite, and then, Zhang Ya began to chat with Li Jiaming, and after chatting for five minutes, Zhang Ya took the lead in getting to the point.
"Brother Ming, I also mentioned it to you on the phone this time, I don't know what Brother Ming means?" Zhang Ya asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Guan Moyu also put away his somewhat scattered heart and waited for the other party's answer.
"This" Li Jiaming showed hesitation on his face: "Aya, you also know that I am not as good as before, I work in a TV station, and if I want to go out to film, I must have the nod of the sixth uncle, and you have a relationship with the sixth uncle now."
Looking at Li Jiaming, who didn't finish speaking, Zhang Yaxiu frowned slightly, then recovered, and said with a chuckle: "Brother Ming, don't worry, I will tell the sixth uncle about this, and I won't embarrass you." ”
"Aya, it's not that I won't help you, but this movie that is only thirteen minutes can't be in theaters at all, and no director in Hong Kong has ever made it, and I'm now a little famous no matter what, and making this kind of movie is a loss for my fame."
Looking at Li Jiaming, who was hesitant in front of him, Zhang Yazhi didn't frown anymore, sighed secretly, and said with a smile: "Brother Ming, I heard that you have a movie next, I don't know if the heroine will be decided?" ”
"What do you mean?" Li Jiaming's face was first happy, and then he said bitterly: "Aya, this is a small production, I can't afford your salary." ”
"Brother Ming, if you say that, you can see the outside, how can the relationship between the two of us be a friendship price." Zhang Ya said with a smile.
"That's so embarrassing." Li Jiaming's face was a little shy with surprise.
frowned, Guan Moyu hadn't heard anything at first, but the more he listened, the more wrong it became, and in the end, looking at Li Jiaming with a shy face, and then at Zhang Ya with a smile on his face, Guan Moyu finally understood, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching.
Trade!
The two in front of them negotiated a deal in front of Guan Moyu, Li Jiaming directed "The Tuner", Zhang Ya came forward to persuade the sixth uncle, and starred in each other's movies at a friendly price.
After thinking about everything, Guan Moyu couldn't help but laugh angrily, he didn't read the script, he just made a deal, which made him almost not get up and leave directly.
For the director in front of him who has never heard of it, at the beginning, Guan Moyu didn't say anything for the sake of Zhang Ya's face, you must know that the micro-film "Tuner" has won many awards after it was filmed in a year.
For him, letting the director in front of him, who he had never heard of, direct "The Tuner", was already for Zhang Ya's sake, giving the other party a chance to become famous, but he didn't expect that there would be such a funny scene in front of him.
"Huh"
couldn't help it, Guan Moyu chuckled, and attracted the two people who were about to reach an agreement for a while.
Looking at the two of them with puzzled expressions, Guan Moyu smiled and said, "Why don't you read the script first?" ”
"Huh?"
looked at Guan Moyu with a smile on his face, followed by unhappiness, looking at the guy in front of him who was inclined to have a little white face, Li Jiaming's eyes narrowed, he couldn't keep a smile on his face anymore, and said indifferently: "No need." ”
Zhang Ya was about to agree to his proposal, but was disturbed by Guan Moyu, and Li Jiaming's mood would be really strange if he could be better.
"Really?" Guan Moyu grabbed Zhang Ya's hand and stood up freely, "Since that's the case, then we take our leave, thank you for the coffee." ”
"You" Li Jiaming's face changed, and he looked at Guan Moyu with some annoyance.
In response to the other party's ignorance, he asked before, it was Guan Moyu who gave Zhang Ya face, since the other party didn't know what to do, then he naturally wouldn't continue to accompany the smiley face.
"Mo Yu, this" Zhang Ya looked at Guan Moyu hesitantly, opening her mouth to persuade her.
"Alright, let's go home." Guan Moyu glared at Zhang Ya fiercely, took her hand, turned around and left the office, leaving only Li Jiaming, who wanted to speak and stopped.
After leaving the TVB TV station and getting into the car, Guan Moyu breathed a sigh of relief, spit out the anger in his heart, turned his head to look at Zhang Ya with a worried face, and couldn't help but smile bitterly again.
He really didn't know what to say, the woman next to him actually agreed to so many rude conditions for him, which made him angry and helpless, but also moved in his heart.
The current relationship between Zhang Ya and wireless is very tense, not only because she did not sign a contract with wireless, but also because not long ago she filmed "Five Lucky Stars" for her rival Golden Harvest.
Now, Zhang Ya wants to bow to wireless for him, not to mention what kind of blow to her fame will be dealt to her by lowering her salary to appear in an impossible movie.
Looking at Guan Moyu, whose face changed for a while, Zhang Ya asked a little worriedly, "Now, are you angry?" ”
Glaring at Zhang Ya angrily, Guan Moyu rolled his eyes and asked, "What do you say?" ”
"In fact, this kind of thing is very common, no matter what it is, it is negotiated, and now we are begging the other party, naturally we have to suffer a loss, and when the other party begs us in the future, we will just double it and come back." Zhang Ya explained in a low voice.
"Whew"
Sighing, Guan Moyu explained helplessly: "You think I'm begging him? ”
Looking at the puzzled Zhang Ya, Guan Moyu sneered and said: "Asking him to guide "Tuner" is to give him a chance, he begged me, not me begged him." ”
"Amount"
Looking at Guan Moyu with a confident face, Zhang Ya couldn't help but feel surprised, although she was very optimistic about "The Tuanist", but this era is not the future after all, and Hong Kong is not Hollywood, and she doesn't have much confidence in the micro-movies that can't be released.
Turning his head and glancing at Zhang Ya, Guan Moyu secretly shook his head, for a micro-movie, although the actors and screenwriters will be famous, but the most famous is the director, he said that he was giving the other party a chance, and he was not wrong.
After a moment of silence, Zhang Ya asked, "What now?" Do you want me to find another director for you? ”
After pondering for a moment, Guan Moyu's eyes flashed with a hint of sharpness, and he said, "No need, go to the library first, then go back to the café, and wait for Da Ge to come back." ”
"O"
Looking at Guan Moyu, who was thinking with her eyes closed, Zhang Ya opened her mouth, but finally didn't say anything, answered in a low voice, and drove out of the parking lot.
"Give you a chance, don't you, in that case" opened his eyes, a ghostly light flashed in his eyes, "then I want this opportunity." ”
After thinking about it, Guan Moyu took Zhang Ya's eldest brother, quickly made a phone call, and opened his mouth to give a few orders.
By the time I hung up the phone, the car had stopped in front of the bookstore
11:36, Caesar's Cafe.
"Sure enough."
Closing the book about the director in his hand, Guan Moyu thought about it for a while, found that no new cards had been formed, frowned, and then let go.
With the experience of the 'Flying Sword Technique' card, Guan Moyu was already mentally prepared for not being able to form a card.
"Writing", "calligraphy" and "screenwriting" are all related to the pen, so the fame can be shared, but the "director" is the same as the "flying sword technique", and has nothing to do with the pen, so the fame cannot be universal, and naturally the card cannot be formed.
Looking at the thirteen books related to the director in front of him, and then looking at Guan Moyu with a calm and calm face, Zhang Ya's beautiful face couldn't help but show a touch of weirdness, and her face was even more hesitant, and she didn't say anything when she opened her mouth several times.
After a few hours of hard work, Guan Moyu stopped doing useless work, turned his head to look at Zhang Ya beside him, couldn't help but show a smile on his face, and said, "If you have any questions, just ask?" ”
"Amount"
After being stunned for a moment, Zhang Yafang asked hesitantly: "What do you want to do when you buy these director's books?" ”
"Guess?" Guan Moyu joked with a smile.
Stunned for a moment, Zhang Ya didn't have the slightest smile on her face, and asked worriedly: "You won't tell me that you want to be a director, right?" ”
"Can't you?"
"Amount"
Zhang Yaqiao's face showed a hint of anxiety: "The director is not that simple? Moreover, you didn't know anything about the director before. ”
"I know, but" Guan Moyu shrugged his shoulders freely and said with a smile: "I don't think it's difficult to be a director." ”
