Chapter 5 Don't Expect Too High

In the rental house, Shao Yingying borrowed a table from the landlord's house, and bought cooked food and cold salad very generously.

In fact, Shao Yingying is not a good drinker, but there must be an outlet for long-term depression, not to mention that joy also needs someone to share, and Da Liu is undoubtedly the best choice.

"Wait, I think there's something wrong with this, right? Xiao Shao, are you letting people get a pit? You came up with the script, and the whole idea was yours, but in the end, you only needed a character with a few lines, and you wanted me to say, you are too stupid in this matter, even if you want a main supporting role, it is not too much to even ask for the protagonist, right? ”

Da Liu, whose face was flushed, and he had unknowingly killed four bottles of beer, heard that the whole thing was wrong, and he now believed everything Shao Yingying said, but he felt that what Shao Yingying said was somewhat unreasonable.

Shao Yingying's face became whiter and whiter the more he drank, and after putting down the wine glass, he explained: "Da Liu, you don't know much about this circle, do you think the screenwriter is very mixed in this circle?" Wrong! Screenwriting is the most painful profession in this circle, and if your idea is to be written into a script, it is a painful rhythm, just like giving birth to a child, you have to squeeze it little by little. After writing the book, it has to be handed in for review, and just reviewing the script requires a lot of connections to pave the way. Even if you're lucky, whether you can receive the money or not is another matter. ”

"I have a classmate from the Literature Department of the Beijing Film Academy, with first-class writing and control of the plot, which can be said to be a genius in this regard, but his notebook has not been able to write his name, and he has been attached to a famous screenwriter as a silent gunman. Recently, he wrote a very good book, even he himself thought that it was impossible to write such a perfect thing in his life, and when he was anxious to contact the director and the investor, a famous director asked him to meet, followed by endless changes. ”

"Half a year,The book he thought was perfect was changed for half a year.,When I thought there would be no problem this time anyway.,The book that was handed in for the final review made him wait for half a year.。

Shao Yingying drained the wine in the cup in one gulp, looked at Da Liu and said, "Do you know what the final result is?" ”

Da Liu shook his head, it is impossible for an outsider to imagine the catty here.

Shao Yingying smiled bitterly: "A year later, when my classmate came home, he saw a table of meals cooked by his mother for him, and when the whole family was happy, he was completely stunned by the TV series broadcast on TV, that is, his book, every plot in the book is like the appearance of his own son, and he will never be mistaken." The most poignant thing is that his mother still said in a few words, 'You can't be famous for what you fool around in the entertainment industry, look at the scripts written by others, how touching!' ’。 ”

Sighing, Shao Yingying continued: "My classmate was lying on the dining table and crying, wanting to make him endure obscurity with a blockbuster determination, and the deliberate notebook was like a knife stuck in his heart. Who would have thought that in the name of the TV series screenwriter column, the director would be written instead of him. ”

"When he came back from his hometown, he rushed to the director's company, and he was desperate, holding a lighter and gasoline to die with the director."

"The result?" Da Liu was obviously confused by the story told by Shao Yingying.

"The result?" Shao Yingying drank the last sip of wine in the cup and said: "As a result, he was sentenced to three years for arson, and just went in a few days ago, it is said that his mother received a sum of money and a letter, which is the manuscript fee of a second-rate screenwriter in China, and the letter wrote a few words: 'In a commotion, the fish are dead and the net is broken'." ”

Da Liu looked at Shao Yingying in shock: "Why? Why is that? ”

"It's very simple, because my classmate is too demanding, he wants 10% of the total income of the TV series, instead of the manuscript fee that should belong to him. Brother, I know that being too greedy when you are unable to protect yourself is equivalent to ruining yourself. So, I'd rather not ask for that much, I want to get back on the screen, whether it's the big screen or the small screen, in whatever way. As long as I can go back, let alone a supporting role like a special actor, even if it's an extra, I'm willing. ”

"No one can become famous overnight, no one can get without paying. Do you know why the rich people in the 10,000-dollar household period were highly respected, while the rich people who now have countless banknotes are treated with hatred of the rich? The reason is simple, the price paid is not enough. ”

Shao Yingying held the wine glass, looked at the environment in which he lived, and thoughtfully brought the wine glass to his mouth only to find that the wine in the wine glass had been drunk, and finally, he simply put down the wine glass and said freely: "What I want is a chance, and with this opportunity, I would rather not pay for the manuscript." ”

"You don't mind even if you're fired from the song hall?" Da Liu is from the countryside and cares a lot about a job that can earn a stable salary, but Shao Yingying is completely different, and his long-term leave finally ended up being fired from KTV, which is not a proper job in Da Liu's eyes.

Shao Yingying smiled, he wasn't laughing at Da Liu Yanque's ambition, he just thought Da Liu was cute, for a person who never knew what watermelon tasted like, choosing sesame seeds was not a stupid thing, at most conservative.

Backbite.

At this time, Shao Yingying's phone rang, and now Shao Yingying has two things that are the most important, the first is a computer bought from an Internet café, and the second is a straight mobile phone that he just purchased, these two things have spent all his savings.

"Hey, hello." Shao Yingying saw the call prompt and Gao Qunshu's phone number, but the excitement in his heart was not shown in his voice.

……

Gao Qunshu handed over the notebook, and before handing over the notebook, he himself was fascinated by it.

The script he got is not the director's exclusive 'storyboard script', it is a novel-style script that is completely sorted out according to the story line, such a script can fully show the direction and curve of the story, of course, such a book also needs a certain amount of investment.

Zhao Baogang, chairman of Beijing Xinbaoyuan Film and Television Investment Co., Ltd., is the investor Gao Qunshu is looking for, and the interesting thing is that when Zhao Baogang saw the script, he didn't know who Gao Qunshu was. This is the important role of the relationship in the entertainment industry, actors or scripts need Bole, but if no one is the driving force behind the scenes to send a good script or actor to Bole, Bole may not be able to see it in his life.

At noon, the scorching sun, Zhao Baogang habitually picked up the script during his lunch break in the office, he likes to read novels or scripts, thinking that this thing helps sleep, and looking at things with words before going to bed will quickly attract drowsiness, which is Zhao Baogang's way to ensure health in the entertainment industry with unstable work and rest time.

However, today's script made Zhao Baogang sleepy, because the script that was not a flashback made Zhao Baogang unable to close his eyes at all like a seductive novel, even if his eyes were sour, he was still strong for the sake of a wonderful plot.

He saw Liu Huaqiang negotiating with Song Laohu, and Song Laohu hummed out the sentence with a deep sigh: "Young people, don't be too arrogant. Liu Huaqiang responded passionately: "Don't be angry and call young people!" At that time, Zhao Baogang was shocked.

Seeing that Liu Huaqiang was preparing to fight with Ding Stick for the game hall, he roared: "You call him to try!" Zhao Baogang didn't know why he thought of "Crazy Boy", but Liu Huaqiang was more real than Crazy Boy, as if he was by his side, just like someone he was talking about after dinner.

Seeing that Liu Huaqiang had become a fugitive, he still dared to shout arrogantly in the hiding place: "When the police officer who can catch me has not yet been born." Zhao Baogang naturally sounded that he had watched a certain Hong Kong movie, and even the gangsters in that Hong Kong movie did not give him this feeling.

What impressed Zhao Baogang the most was that Liu Huaqiang put a gun against Feng Biao's head and said: "Give you a chance, you won't be useful!" This sentence was then more like a king who rules heaven and earth: "When you see me and my brother in the future, you have to call me Lord!" The kind of self-respecting recklessness that only belongs to the people of the rivers and lakes is all shown by a few numbers, and the experience is so clear.

"Who got this notebook?"

Zhao Baogang couldn't help it, he wanted to know who wrote this script, and he wanted this book to be filmed into a TV series and broadcast on the small screen.

When I read this book before, Zhao Baogang was still worried about whether he could pass the trial, but now he doesn't have to worry about everything, he saw the final ending, and the final ending is not only that the escaped Liu Huaqiang's gang members were arrested, but also the interviews with the people on the street, as well as the praise of the people to the police.

This is where the director is smarter than the screenwriter, after Gao Qunshu got the book, he added a tribute to the people's praise at the end, and a few simple paragraphs of narration can make a manuscript that can't be reviewed at all become a manuscript that can be reviewed, although it still takes a little time to operate.

When Zhao Baogang pushed the door out of the office, he found that the position of his secretary outside the office was empty, except for the lights in the office, the whole office was empty.

It was dark, and even Zhao Baogang himself couldn't imagine that he didn't know it when he read the script and saw that it was dark.

He stood at the secretary's desk and grabbed the phone to dial the secretary's mobile phone: "I want to know who sent the script of "Conquest". ”

"Who? Gao Qunshu? ”

"Did you leave a call?"

When Zhao Baogang raised his head, he saw a phone number written on the diary on the secretary's desk, and after dialing the phone, he said: "Gao Dao, I am Zhao Baogang, and we want to buy the book "Conquest". ”

"What, you have to shoot it yourself, all you need is investment?"

"We can talk about investment in person, I want to ask, has the male number one, that is, Liu Huaqiang's actor, been found?"

"I didn't find the best, I will introduce you to a person, a very interesting person, during the audition, he actually said to me, 'If you don't use me, you will regret it for the rest of your life', this person has Liu Huaqiang's domineering."

……

"Gao Dao, congratulations, the investment is negotiated, and you can start up." Shao Yingying also asked in the rental house: "What about your "Thirteen Murders"? ”

"Shoot "Conquest" first, and "Thirteen Murders" later? Okay, so my ...... No, I'm not asking about the manuscript fee, I'm asking about the role of Feng Biao...... Thank you, thank you Gao Dao for taking care of ...... No problem, the manuscript fee of 50,000 yuan is already very high...... There is no problem with the group of screenwriters......"

In the rental house, Da Liu was stupid, and when he heard the number 50,000, he felt that he saw the stars in the sky.

Shao Yingying hung up the phone, picked up the wine glass full of wine, and finally said with the gloom on his face: "Da Liu, you have to get drunk with me today, this is my happiest day in more than 400 days." ”
