Chapter 41: Selling Books to Raise Money
Chapter 41: Selling Books to Raise Money
"Is it really not needed?" Zhang Ya sat down next to Guan Moyu and asked worriedly.
"I really don't need to." Turning over and sitting up, Guan Moyu said with a smile: "Even if I ask for money, I can solve it myself, how can I ask for your money." ”
"Solve it yourself?" Zhang Ya's face changed, she grabbed Guan Moyu's shoulder, and asked anxiously: "One million and two million, where can you raise money for such a competition?" With your network, there can be no one."
Speaking of this, Zhang Ya was shocked and looked at Guan Moyu in shock: "You don't want to go back to the old way, right?" ”
Looking at the woman in front of him, Guan Moyu couldn't help but roll his eyes, sighed in his heart that a woman could really associate, and subconsciously glanced at the box on the side, but he really let the other party guess correctly, didn't he do his old job once yesterday?
"Okay, okay, you're really stupid, didn't you realize that I was testing your feelings for me?" Guan Moyu pushed Zhang Ya and said with a smile: "If you continue to be long-winded, the rice will be mushy." ”
glanced at Guan Moyu in disbelief, although she was still suspicious, but the other party didn't say that she had no choice, so she could only shake her head and walk towards the kitchen step by step.
Coaxed Zhang Ya away, Guan Moyu fell into contemplation again, trying to think of the fastest way to make money, but in the end, he thought of some black methods, and finally had to give up helplessly.
After eating, just as he was about to go out, Guan Moyu's heart moved, and he returned to the study to bring all the manuscripts of "Zhu Xian" and "The Legend of Wukong", and then left home and came to the editing room of TVB.
Half an hour later, TVB editing room.
"I'm sorry, I can't go to this shot, and the whole scene will be incoherent if I go to this shot." Looking at the editor in front of him, who was about forty years old, Guan Moyu frowned.
Dissatisfied with the action, the editor spoke: "Mr. Guan, I know that you as a director attach great importance to your own works, but it is impossible for a movie to leave all the shots, and I really can't cut it like you." ”
Hearing this, Zhang Ya on the side hurriedly pulled Mo Yu and persuaded in a low voice: "Mo Yu, this kind of thing should be left to the experts, we might as well go out and find a place to have a cup of coffee." ”
Looking at the two people in front of him, Guan Moyu couldn't help frowning, stretched out his hand to point to the camera in front of him, and asked the editor: "Don't you think the plot will be very incoherent without this shot?" ”
"Mr. Guan, I have been in this business for fifteen years, you have to believe in my ability." The editor said loudly.
After speaking, looking at Guan Moyu, who was still insisting, he couldn't help pouting and whispered: "It's just that I directed a movie for more than ten minutes, and I really think of myself as a director, not to mention, it's really hard to say whether this is a movie or not." ”
His face changed, the two of them were not far away, although the other party deliberately lowered his voice, but Guan Moyu still heard all the words in his ears.
Looking at the man in front of him, Guan Moyu couldn't bear it anymore, this "Tuner" does not have any big scenes, and the conflict is not strong, relying on suspense, non-stop flashbacks, and a lot of montage techniques.
However, the person in front of him came down from an assembly line at all, and he didn't listen to his explanation at all, and his attitude was even more casual.
"Mo Yu" Zhang Ya looked at Guan Moyu worriedly, she also heard the other party's previous words, and she was afraid that she would be impulsive and beat the other party.
"Whew"
With a long sigh of relief, Guan Moyu's face returned to calm, he couldn't bear this breath, he couldn't bear it, the reason why the other party would help him edit this "Tuner" was to see Zhang Ya's face, if he came by himself, the other party would definitely not accept this job.
What makes him even more helpless is that Hong Kong is so big, and the entertainment industry is so small, and he can already cut it out by himself after watching it for a while, but if he gets rid of the other party and does it himself, it means that he has offended the editor in front of him.
In this way, it is guaranteed that within two days, his arrogant and domineering name will resound in the circle, and most people will definitely not take his job again.
If it's just editing, it's just that, but the post-production of a movie is not cut out, and there is still a lot of work in the soundtrack, etc., and he can't play it alone.
In the final analysis, he is still not famous, if it is Tsui Hark standing here now, or even Li Jiaming, this guy in front of him will definitely not dare to have this attitude.
"Patience, I have to endure, as long as I win an award at the Venice Film Festival, next time it will not be me who will endure him, but he will endure me." Guan Moyu gritted his teeth and kept comforting himself.
However, "The Tuner" is his hope, Guan Moyu naturally will not allow the other party to come nonsense, and even if he wants to endure it, he will slap the other party before putting up with it.
Thinking of this, Guan Moyu snatched the other party's tools and quickly edited them according to the original book.
"Hey, what are you doing? I'm not responsible for the broken cuts. ”
"Stop, you have nothing to do with me."
"Humph! It's really arrogant, I don't know how thick the sky is. ”
quickly edited a three-minute shot, Guan Moyu grabbed the editor who kept shouting, and released his cut for the other party to watch.
The three-minute footage flew by.
After watching the footage edited by Guan Moyu, the editor's old face was full of shock, there were several scenes that he had abandoned before, but now they have been re-trimmed by the other party, not only the plot is much smoother, but it also looks more comfortable.
looked at the camera in front of him, and then looked at Guan Moyu with a calm face, the editor couldn't help but blush, and couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, this time it was embarrassing and embarrassing.
After half a ring, the editor smiled dryly and said: "Director Guan is amazing, I admire it." ”
After finishing a sentence, he hurriedly lowered his head to edit, and when Guan Moyu said it again, he would watch it according to the cut, and he didn't dare to take it as a deaf ear anymore.
No matter what line of work he does, if it is Guan Moyu who is messing around today, then he has nothing to do, but if it is the other way around, his craftsmanship is lower than that of the other party, then it will be unhappy, and he will be looked down upon at that time.
It can be said that no matter which industry it is, it follows the eternal potential of the supremacy of strength. Rules.
Zhang Ya, who was standing on the side, looked at the two people in front of her who had a harmonious atmosphere, the worry on her face disappeared, and was replaced by surprise and admiration, and the object was of course not the editor, but Guan Moyu with a calm face.
In post-production, time passes slowly
Three o'clock in the afternoon, Ming Pao.
"Hello, is there anything you can do, sir?"
"Hello, I made an appointment with Mr. Cha, my name is Guan Moyu."
"It turned out to be Mr. Guan, Mr. Cha has already instructed you, just go directly to his office when you come."
"Thank you."
"That Mr. Guan, I'm your book lover, I like your book "Zhu Xian" very much, can you help me sign it?"
"Yes, where is the sign?"
"That's it here, by the way, Mr. Guan, will Baguio be resurrected?"
"I haven't thought about this yet."
Almost ran away from the desert, walking in the busy Ming Pao, Guan Moyu's eyes showed a touch of curiosity, the two lives combined, this is the first time he has stepped into the newspaper office, it is a lie to say that he is not curious.
Although Ming Pao was big, even if Guan Moyu deliberately slowed down, it took three minutes to come to Zha Liangyong's office.
"Bumper"
"Please come in and you are."
Looking at the man in front of him, Guan Moyu showed a hint of curiosity in his eyes, I don't know if the commission in front of him is not like Jin Yong in another world?
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Guan Moyu said with a smile: "Mr. Cha, I am Guan Moyu, and we have an appointment." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Guan." Zha Liangyong hurriedly got up, "I heard that Mr. Guan is very young before, I still don't believe it, but now I see it in person, but Mr. Guan is even younger than the rumors, it's really better to meet than to be famous." ”
To be praised by a generation of martial arts novel grandmasters, there is no need to elaborate on how excited Guan Moyu, who has written online novels for more than two years but still hits the streets.
"Coffee? Or tea? ”
"Whew"
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Guan Moyu nodded and said, "Coffee is good." ”
When Zha Liangyong was making coffee, Guan Moyu also calmed down the agitated emotions.
"Give"
"Thank you."
After taking the coffee, Guan Moyu was no longer polite, and said straight to the point: "I came to Mr. Cha this time for the publication of my novel." ”
While speaking, Guan Moyu took out the manuscripts of the two novels "The Legend of Wukong" and "Zhu Xian", put them in front of Mr. Cha, and said with a smile: "I have revised and polished these two novels, Mr. Cha may wish to take a look." ”
"Then please Mr. Guan wait a minute." With a polite word, Zha Liangyong took the two novels, and first picked up "The Legend of Wukong" and read it.
Because he likes "The Legend of Wukong" very much, he has read the newspaper no less than five times, and he is very familiar with the content of the novel, but now that he has only read one chapter, he has to admit that the one in his hand is one level better than when he was serialized.
didn't finish reading it, so I took the side of "Zhu Xian" and looked at it, and came to the same conclusion as before, which couldn't help but make Zha Liangyong look at Guan Moyu with a calm face in front of him in surprise.
"Both works are enough to be passed on to future generations." Zha Liangyong praised and gave a very high evaluation.
There are many compliments, and it is difficult for Guan Moyu to get excited, and immediately, after the other party finished speaking, he said with a smile: "I have been relatively tight recently, and the publishing rights of the two novels are bought out at one time, I don't know how much your newspaper can give?" ”
was stunned by Guan Moyu's straightforwardness, but fortunately, Cha Liangyong experienced a lot, and soon came back to his senses, pondered for a while, and quoted for the first time: ""The Legend of Wukong" is 300,000, and "Zhu Xian" is 800,000. ”
Hearing this, Guan Moyu didn't answer, just shook his head.
