Chapter 60 This is Wang Zhongjun
PS: I recommend a very good movie "Walking to the End", you can watch it.
The moment Wang Zhongjun nodded, the rest of the things became very simple, Feng Xiaogang led his team to win the sub-shot script as quickly as possible, and set the schedule with the major stars who came to the show, in fact, one of the main purposes of their plan in advance is the schedule problem, a temporary book wants to network so many stars to its own, even if it is just a string, it is very difficult, but the time of the Chinese New Year is not the same, and the stars also need to rest, if they are stuck in their rest time to take a favor, they want to schedule, With the names of Feng Xiaogang and Shao Yingying, they will definitely not be rejected.
Shao Yingying was completely idle during this time, he got rid of the busy Wang Shuo, and mixed with Shi Kang every day, he told Shi Kang a story, a story about youth, and hired Shi Kang to write a script in the name of the studio, the name of the script is "Struggle".
Shao Yingying, the TV series "Struggle", will not participate in person, and when the script comes out, this will become a tool for Shao Yingxing to hang the name of 'producer' for black money. The urban craze driven by "I want to be famous" and the humor of the language of "Struggle" itself can definitely connect a very popular era of urban emotional dramas, whether you call it an idol drama or anything, this money-grabbing TV series is not in his own hands, Shao Yingying will definitely be unhappy. Didn't a very wealthy person in our country say such a sentence when he entered the online game circle, he said, he doesn't understand online games, but he is very good at robbing money. The current Shao Yingying is this mentality, while preparing for the role wholeheartedly. A little distraction can make a TV series with good profits, so why not?
At the same time, Shao Yingying also watched the script in the studio. None of these scripts were written by him, they were created by a group of screenwriters he hired, and the studio can't always keep a group of idle people, right?
When the script was placed on the desk, Shao Yingying finally understood the difficulties of Hua Yi's editors who reviewed the script, some people obviously didn't eat this bowl of rice but mixed it in this circle, not to mention that he read such a book, even if the people in the studio read it, they wouldn't let it. Because these books are either gorgeously written, there is not a single line of dialogue in the thousands of words of scenery description; Either it's a pure poverty with no plot connection at all, and poverty makes people's heads hurt. When Wang Shuo saw him, he had to call his master; The most annoying thing is that there is a book called "Please Don't Let Me Talk", in which the protagonist doesn't say a word, and looks at the whole world with a group of mocking eyes like a dumb person. The whole text mocks everyone with the hand of description. Shao Yingying wants to give this screenwriter the title of the king of complaints!
"A bunch of bastards who take money and don't do anything."
After scolding, Shao Yingying decided not to embarrass Duliang, and people hung Hua Yi's job to review the script for his studio, which is simply the harshest criminal law in the world.
Hey!
When I opened one of the scripts, Shao Yingying finally found a book that I could read, this book is very interesting, about a black policeman who left the police station and went back to preside over his mother's funeral, but the family was too urgent, and the black police corruption incident was exposed. He actually hit and killed a man on the road in a hurry!
Everything started from this incident, and the black police did not intend to confess. He also put the person who was killed in the collision into the trunk, and he thought about burying the body forever with his mother, who was about to be buried.
Wrong.
Shao Yingying felt that this book was very familiar to him, and he seemed to have seen it but couldn't remember the name.
Turning the script back to the homepage and looking at the name, Shao Yingying saw at a glance that it was almost the same name as in his impression, the name of this script was "The Fish Died and the Net Broke", at this time, he finally remembered the movie in his mind, the movie was called "Walking to the End/Cornered".
It was a stick movie, but it caused a frenzy of 2.8 million moviegoers in such a small country!
Shao Yingying carefully read the script from beginning to end in the studio, and he found that the very unreasonable places in "Walking to the End" were completely missing, such as the black policeman who competed with the male protagonist obviously had a brother outside, but when he was almost not killed by the protagonist, he killed alone and went to the protagonist's house to take revenge; For another example, the money embezzled by the protagonist was turned out of the desk drawer by the integrity department, and it was done with some money; There is also a protagonist stealing evidence 'bombs' from the police station, just like the police station is unattended by dangerous goods, and you can take it if you want, and there is no difficulty at all...... These have all been revised in the script in Shao Yingying's hands.
The screenwriter who wrote the script for the studio put the era of the story in the most chaotic period of Xiangjiang, when Lu Le was in full swing, no one dared to enter the Kowloon Walled City, and Xiangjiang was full of black police, and as long as he did business, he had to pay money to the black police. In this context, it is not a big deal that the money in the protagonist's desk was turned over by the anti-corruption department, and the smartest thing is that the screenwriter even added a reason to this matter, on the grounds that the protagonist offended someone in the anti-corruption department, and someone punished him for the whole thing. After such a change, coupled with some people saying peace, the plot in the movie seems to be smoothed out, and it has become normal that the protagonist has not been arrested for corruption.
There are also those two bombs, which in the script were bought by the protagonist in the black market of the Kowloon Walled City, in order to kill the haunting opponent, and have nothing to do with the police station; As for the last point, the villain has a brother but kills the protagonist alone at the house and fights him alone, it doesn't happen at all, it's the protagonist who thinks the villain is dead, and when he goes back to the police station to check the situation, he is found by the villain. This is much more ingenious, after all, the villain is also a policeman, or a policeman who specializes in stealing evidence from the drug investigation bureau and selling it, and the two policemen fight in the police station, no matter how many subordinates the villain has, they can't get involved, and the two of them can only fight alone.
Seeing this, Shao Yingying really found a very special talent, this talent is very skilled in controlling the rhythm of the script, but this person seems to have a bit of a problem with his brain, he can write a very good script, but he invested this script in a studio in the mainland, and also used a special period in Xiangjiang as the background, which would definitely be a dead end if it was in another company. can be placed in Shao Yingying's place, but it is with his mind.
When Shao Yingying, who twisted his neck and felt some soreness in his cervical spine, wanted to call the screenwriter over, he found that it was already dark. At this time, it seems that everyone in the studio should be off work.
Shao Yingying picked up the phone and dialed Zhang Wan's phone number and said, "Brother Zhang, I'm Shao Yingying, tomorrow you come to the company to buy the script of "Fish Die and the Net Breaks". ”
"According to the standard price of the studio, give eighty thousand."
This is the sadness of the screenwriter.,A screenwriter who is not a little famous, no matter how good the book is, don't want to ask for money according to the episode.,It's already a great fortune in misfortune that someone is willing to buy it out.。
The moment you hang up the phone. Shao Yingying has forgotten his feelings, it is not easy to mix any industry with a low threshold in this world, such as temporary acting, such as screenwriters, such as salesmen. However, people who can mix well in these industries with very low thresholds can still drive famous cars and live in luxury houses.
Drive home! Shao Yingying, who was tired all day, wanted to go back to enjoy the warmth of home, and he suddenly found that he was a little homesick, because there was a wife at home who would even have socks ready when he got up.
Back home. After having dinner with Gao Yuanyuan in a sweet and greasy atmosphere. The two leaned on the sofa and ate fruit together, and before they could eat two bites of the oranges in their hands, Wang Zhongjun appeared in the entertainment news on TV.
"That's right, our company is really ready for a big project! But it's not the movie you say, Mr. Shao of our company's TV drama department plans to join forces with Mr. Feng Xiaogang to create a TV series that can trigger a ratings frenzy, and the total investment of this TV series will reach more than 40 million. There could be more. ”
Seeing Wang Zhongjun's high-spirited appearance, Shao Yingying wanted to laugh, and the corners of his mouth grinned. Gao Yuanyuan asked, "What are you stupid about?" ”
"Laugh at our Mr. Wang." Shao Yingying hugged Gao Yuanyuan's waist on the sofa and said: "Do you know, when Feng Dacang and I entered his office to ask for a shooting fee of one million per episode, Mr. Wang's face turned green, it was called forty-two episodes of TV series, and he was asked to take out 42 million and smash it into the TV series, he really didn't know the bottom in his heart, if he lost the bottom, it was estimated that Hua Yi would be like having a serious illness." ”
Gao Yuanyuan became interested and turned her head to listen.
"When Mr. Wang knew that Feng Xiaogang had already run out of 25 million sponsorship expenses, and it was very likely to run out of 30 million, Mr. Wang was a heroic and righteous person, and when he heard that the investment from more than 40 million yuan had changed to more than 10 million yuan, the whole person was refreshed." Shao Yingying said with a smile: "Then we went to an insurance company in the afternoon to ask for sponsorship, and Mr. Wang personally asked for 20 million sponsorship fees when he opened his mouth, and at the moment when people didn't even agree, I could see that the corners of Wang Zhongjun's eyes were squinting." On the day I came back from the company, the drama had already made a profit of nearly five million before filming started! ”
Gao Yuanyuan was shocked, she has been with Shao Yingying for so long, she basically understands everything in the circle, and she makes a profit before filming starts, which is a rare situation in the TV drama industry, and "Mansion Gate" can't achieve this effect: "Then why don't you shoot this scene in our studio!" ”
She said reproachfully like a little money fan.
"Silly daughter-in-law, the money in this world is inexhaustible, but if you plan to put all the money in your pocket, then there will really be a day when you will finish earning, and then no one else will take you to play." Shao Yingying was not very satisfied with this answer, and said in a different way: "The main thing is that this drama is too risky, and if you are not careful, you may be 'clicked' by radio and television, even if the book is over, the plot filmed in this drama also belongs to the category that people can press you to death with crooked mouths." In case we throw in so much money at once, and finally make a 'banned' result, the studio can't afford to bear such a big thunder. ”
Gao Yuanyuan smiled, and she knew that Shao Yingying didn't hold back any good farts when she let "I Want to Be Famous" out.
Shao Yingying didn't say a specific conclusion, if this drama was not banned and appeared on the huge stage of CCTV, as long as Wang Zhongjun is not an idiot, he will negotiate a good contract next time...... Then this drama is likely to set a profit record in the circle, and it may even exceed 100 million!
TV series revenue exceeds 100 million!!!
This is called high risk, high reward.
But after this conclusion, Shao Yingying found that he was a little timid, and when he didn't have much money, he could smash all the money earned from "Conquest" into the crew of "Blade 1937" to earn connections, and now he is worth a lot of money, and he is a little trembling, and he is cautious about the future that he can't grasp.
Is this human nature? Only when you win will you bet your entire net worth, and if anything goes out of your control, it will ......
"What do you think?"
Gao Yuanyuan asked.
Shao Yingying shook his head and didn't speak.
Tick, tick, tick.
Shao Yingying's phone rang, and when he grabbed the phone from the coffee table, he saw Feng Xiaogang's name: "Hey? ”
"Xiao Shao, the sponsorship is all done, and without changing the plot as much as possible, we have almost pulled 60 million."
"Brother-in-law." Shao Yingying groaned a little and said, "Is this appropriate?" If something really goes wrong and eventually leads to the ban of this film, shouldn't Hua Yi be scolded to death? ”
"Curse to death?" Feng Xiaogang sneered and said: "I'll tell you the truth, if this drama really can't be played, Hua Yi doesn't plan to get a sponsorship fee in the future, understand?" ”
This matter is indeed very serious, so serious that you can only win and not lose!
"Do you think Wang Zhongjun can't think of this? He had already thought of it, did he know what he told me? He told me to shoot boldly and lose his! ”
Heroic dry clouds!
This is the confidence of a boss, if Wang Zhongjun doesn't even have this confidence, it is impossible for so many people under his hands to follow him, and Feng Xiaogang cannot rather retire in Huayi, and he does not dare to say on the stage of "Let's Talk" 'As an investor, it is not awesome to invest in making movies for a director like Feng Xiaogang, as long as Feng Xiaogang appears in the director's position, someone will invest in him. The awesome thing is to invest in directors who are not yet famous, and to make money in such a movie can prove the vision of the boss. This is Wang Zhongjun.

"Come, go inside, light, it's full of equipment, don't touch it."
Da Liu was busy sweating, and the workers on the truck were carrying the boxes with black and white edges used by the crew to the rented office.
"Brother Liu, is this okay? Our boss found out and fired me! ”
There was a man standing next to Da Liu, black and tall, who was Da Liu's fellow countryman.
Da Liu took out a thousand yuan from his pocket and said: "Don't worry, your brother Liu will definitely not cheat you, you take this money, if you don't believe me, you are watching here, where should you pull these things when you are done, I will cover all the expenses?" ”
In the distance, a Zhen Jie appeared wearing a small down jacket, and the LV bag she had just changed in her hand was still so dazzling.
"Mr. Liu, I'm here to sign the contract." Her demeanor when she saw Da Liu changed, at least she was not as disgusted as she was at the beginning.
Da Liu smiled: "Zhen Jie, it's too unfortunate, the crew just got the equipment back, I'm a little busy, do you think it's okay tomorrow?" Or maybe you do. After saying this, Da Liu turned around and said, "Be careful, a machine is hundreds of thousands!" ”
Zhen Jie has no doubts at all this time, if Da Liu is fake, there is no need to move these machines to the office, she knows very well the tricks of those so-called scam companies, it is nothing more than to ask you to pay some fees and cheat some small money: "I'm fine, it's okay to wait." ”
Da Liu glanced at Zhen Jie with a smile, didn't speak, and already had a score in his heart. (To be continued......)
