Volume 1 Chapter 16 I took the movie
Today's day off, I forgot to upload it regularly, 6 o'clock and 12 o'clock together! ——
"What do you want, sir?"
The waiter walked over.
"Take a look!"
Lin Xiaozhi picked up the menu and looked at it, "Bring me a latte!" ”
"Would you like a cup or a pot?"
"A pot!"
"Italian pot or Belgian pot?"
"Italian pot!"
"Okay, please wait, the coffee will be delivered to you soon, do you need anything else?"
Lin Xiaozhi raised his head, looked at the delicate rose opposite, and asked, "Mengna, have you had lunch?" ”
"It's already used!"
"Alright then, bring me a plate of Orleans wings, a black pepper beef pie, a big portion, and a fruit salad!"
"Okay, please wait!"
The waiter quickly wrote down what he ordered and left, Lin Xiaozhi touched his shriveled belly, shrugged his shoulders and said, "I've been out all morning, I'm almost hungry, don't mind if I order something to eat!" ”
"Poof!"
Ye Yuqing smiled when she heard this, took off her eyes, looked directly at his face with a pair of beautiful eyes flooded with autumn waves, and her red lips squirmed: "Lin Shao, I haven't seen you for a few days, but it has changed a lot?" ”
Lin Xiaozhi glanced at her and waved his hand: "Don't mention it, it's not all for you!" The last time you said you wanted to make a movie, I went to ask the old man for investment, but I was scolded. My dad almost didn't even give me pocket money these days, if I hadn't cleverly dyed back the blonde hair that the old man hated the most, and took off the earrings, how could I find scripts and contact investment outside? Maybe I'll be locked up for a few more days! ”
Ye Yuqing's white fingers were crossed together, and she held up her chin and smiled at him charmingly. The tongue stretched out on the sexy red lips and licked it gently, threw a wink at him, and asked angrily, "...... So, what kind of reward does Lin Shao want? ”
As the words fell, a hand left her chin and writhed like a set of snow-white snakes, a little closer to his arm on the table.
Seeing that there was a bargain, Lin Xiaozhi was not a vegetarian, so he grabbed the soft wattle and looked directly into her eyes, "Little goblin, I want to eat you now!" ”
Yu Guang swept over the document bag he put in his hand, Ye Yuqing's eyes lit up, and the soft hand she held tightly kept drawing circles in the palm of his hand, and quietly turned the topic to the file bag: "...... Mona gave you everything, whenever you wanted. By the way, Lin Shao, this is the script you said? ”
"Huh?"
Lin Xiaozhi is naturally not such a anxious person, seeing that she began to change the topic, he let go of her hand, picked up the file bag containing the freshly copied script, and pushed it in front of her.
"I just got it from a friend, a script cost me nearly 100,000 yuan, but it's worth the money, even for people like me who don't know much about movies, after reading it, I think this movie will definitely be popular. However, I'm now starting to worry about whether you will pick up this movie or not......"
His fingers lightly tapped on the table, but his eyes were always fixed on Ye Yuqing, "Yes, I have no doubt that the movie shot according to this script will be successful." But...... Because of the particularity of the genre, the male and female lead actors have to make some sacrifices......"
"I'm crazy for you!" Fingers gently brushed over the file bag, and Ye Yuqing's eyes were full of brilliance. She may be no stranger to scripts as she has filmed several TV series for ATV, but this should be her first time getting close to a movie script, especially since the heroine of this script may be her.
Hearing this, Ye Yuqing slowly raised her head, her beautiful eyes were rippling, and her red lips spit lightly: "What does Lin Shao mean by this?" Do you think Mona's acting skills are not enough and she is not worthy of the role of the heroine? ”
After that, the water ripples in his eyes were flooding, and the look of hanging his head and tears made the waiter who came to deliver what they ordered look at Lin Xiaozhi with an undisguised disdain in his eyes, which made the corners of his mouth twitch!
"I didn't say that!" He took the coffee cup, took half a cup of hot espresso for himself, picked up the big pot with hot milk next to him, poured half a cup of milk into the coffee cup, and scooped two spoonfuls of sugar, Lin Xiaozhi lowered his voice while stirring the latte, "I think you haven't understood what I mean, how can this script say, there are a lot of dew points and scenes in it, I think you may not be able to accept it." ”
Dew point, out of the show?
As these two words came out of his mouth, Ye Yuqing's willow eyebrows immediately furrowed. Her face moved, revealing the change in her master's heart. Ye Yuqing forcibly suppressed the urge to slap him, although she wanted to be famous, no woman is born arrogant, and Ye Yuqing is the same. She can be charming, amorous, and seductive, but those are the means she uses to climb up for herself, which does not mean that she can accept that she is stripped naked and stands on the screen and watches unscrupulously.
It can be seen that she is very angry, but after all, she did not express her dissatisfaction with Lin Xiaozhi, she took a deep breath, it took her about a minute to calm down her turbulent mood like a storm, and said: "Lin Shao, I want to read the script first, is it okay?" ”
"Please, I'm hungry, eat something!"
Ye Yuqing smiled, even Lin Xiaozhi couldn't see anything from her face full of smiles. Yingyingyu quickly untied the file bag, and she took out the script with only more than 50,000 words from the bag, and just read it.
Picking up a piece of black pepper beef pizza, Lin Xiaozhi took a bite of it, and he was not very worried about whether Ye Yuqing would accept the draft.
Although she has only known Ye Yuqing for a few days, Lin Xiaozhi has fully felt what kind of woman she is during this time.
Ye Yuqing was born in a poor family, but she has hardly had any hard times in her entire childhood since she can remember.
After her father's early death, her eldest brother Ye Zhiming shouldered the responsibility of his father, and the whole family's 11 brothers and sisters were raised by him. Poverty and hard life did not defeat Ye Zhiming, but forced him to work hard to make money. By the mid-70s, with the help of Hong Kong's rapid economic development, Ye Zhiming had built a billion-dollar empire, with his own villas, companies and even luxury cruise ships, known as the 'billionaire'. Ye Yuqing was favored by him when he urinated, so when he was a child, he almost lived a princess-like life and enjoyed all the wealth and glory.
While other families are still excited about going out to eat a meal or the whole family going to the beach for a day, she is playing with her eldest brother Ye Zhiming's former most luxurious yacht at sea party in Hong Kong, eating delicious dishes made by Ye Zhiming's best chef in Hong Kong specially for her.
This is a woman who has seen real wealth, before Ye Zhiming went bankrupt in 86, she never suffered a little like a princess. Therefore, she can participate in the Miss Asia selection because of the instigation of her friends, or she can directly sign a five-year long-term contract with ATV to become an artist because of fun, and she can even pull the frame of Miss Fujia to pick and choose when ASTV arranges for her to take over the play.
It's just that everything she has is based on her brother, who is known as the 'billionaire', and when he was at the height of his power, even ATV boss Qiu Degen had to give him some face and ordered the subordinates to take care of her. And when Ye Zhiming went bankrupt, those ATV executives who were offended by her in the past, and artists who couldn't get used to her pride, stood up and fell into the ground, in the past few years, Ye Yuqing's life has been very hard, and she has paid enough for her past coquettishness and arrogance.
Pulling out a napkin and wiping the greasy on his hands, Lin Xiaozhi picked up the latte and took a sip, but his eyes fell on the charming and delicate face opposite from time to time. It is said that people will show their true selves unintentionally, Ye Yuqing is obviously engrossed in reading the script at the moment, so that when Lin Xiaozhi was carefully observing her, he saw something that he couldn't usually see from her at this moment. Her two frowning eyebrows are full of heroism, and people can't help but wonder what kind of hardships she has endured in the past few years to have such stubbornness of 'desperately climbing up by any means'.
Now is the time when Ye Yuqing is the most depressed, Lin Xiaozhi inquired, because she was too arrogant in the past, her reputation on ATV was not good, and the good TV drama crew would not find her at all, there are so many beauties in the film industry, but it is not beautiful to be successful. Otherwise, she would not have spent so much effort to catch Lin Xiaozhi and tempt him to pay for a movie to make her popular.
This is an opportunity, and Lin Xiaozhi also promised that the role of the heroine would be given to her, as long as she crossed the psychological threshold......
Lin Xiaozhi's meal was much larger than he imagined, a large portion of the black pepper beef pizza was all eaten, and even a plate of Orleans roast wings was also wiped out by him, he still felt a little dissatisfied with his stomach, and when he was thinking about whether to order a few more servings, Ye Yuqing, who had been looking down at the manuscript for a long time, rubbed his eyes and complained: "The words printed in the script are so small, my eyes are sour!" ”
Lin Xiaozhi smiled, glanced at the manuscript that had been turned over in her hand, and the soup spoon kept stirring the freshly poured coffee, "If you think it's inappropriate, I won't force you." Mona, you are in the circle, you should know better than me how rare a good script is. I've been in contact with a lot of well-known screenwriters lately, but unfortunately they either haven't written any scripts lately, or they've been bought out by the big studios at a high price. There are some shoddy scripts, but I don't think that kind of movie can make money and become popular. I promised you to invest in a movie to make you the protagonist, this promise still works, if you are not satisfied with "I'm Crazy for You", give me some more time, there are still a lot of prolific screenwriters in Hong Kong, give me a few months, you should be able to find other scripts! ”
"I haven't finished the script yet, but it's interesting!" Ye Yuqing smiled, "When is Lin Shao going to start filming?" ”
"Half a month at most, I will contact the crew and funds within half a month!" He replied categorically, if there was no ATV position for the old man to help him ask Lin Baixin for the position, it would probably take him another month or two to contact the funds and crew. But maybe he will go to ATV's subordinate film company to report in the next few days, "I'm Crazy for Qing" has such a good script, Lin Xiaozhi is confident that he will persuade the film company to invest in filming.
"Can I take the script with me?"
"What is your answer?"
"I took the ...... movie"
