Chapter 509: Let me show you the power of Stormwind City
Are all young people like this now?
Li Lu was shocked by Xiao Huangmao's shamelessness, he, a person who shoots officials and fights for power, doesn't dare to shoot like this.
And Lin Dong, another young man at the scene, had already picked up the script and read it.
New playbook?
It doesn't sound like the screenwriter changed the script, no wonder Zhou Meilin didn't come, he must be very angry that others changed his script.
"As for Uncle Li, I remember choosing Mr. Lin Dong, didn't I just hope that this drama would be liked by more young people? My role can also take on this function. Water army, Weibo, new media these elements are not in the original book, it is not only a new anti-corruption means, new communication features, but also closer to the lives of young people, Uncle Zhou doesn't understand, I think Uncle Li you should support me. Xiao Huangmao has his own set of rhetoric, and it is estimated that even he believes it.
Li Lu gasped heavily.
"Niu Niu, I remember that you graduated from Nortel's directing department, can't we do a good job as a director and let professional actors act?" Gao Ya Pro persuaded.
"I like acting, I've worked with Uncle Li before, this time I not only directed and starred, but also helped attract investment, Uncle Li, why are you dissatisfied with me, you are my father's friend, I respect you, but now it's a market economy, we can't invest in this drama, okay?"
Que Niuniu has always played a good baby in front of Li Lu before.
This time, he helped to attract investment, and immediately became restless, not only from the assistant director to the executive director of Group B, but also decided to play an important role.
However, the role he chose was too small.
This is a small supporting role, and the number of appearances is only a handful.
In the fifty-four chapters of the original book, only two chapters of this character appear, seventeen and fifty-one, and the whole book has a total of 384 pages, only 17 pages have their figures, and these 17 pages are not all about them.
Almost a small role that can be ignored.
So, he found a screenwriter friend to add drama to the script for himself.
In some episodes, the role of this character has been increased to more than one-third, from a small supporting role to an important supporting role with a heavy role.
However, the screenwriter he invited was limited after all, and he also needed the original author, who is also the official screenwriter Zhou Meilin, to polish it.
After Zhou Meilin read the draft, he scolded directly.
Even the boot ceremony did not show up.
On the one hand, he is a confidant and friend who has a good conversation, and he feels that he bows his head for money, and on the other hand, he is a young man with a premise, and he is treacherous, Li Lu is not a person on both sides of the middle, and his depression can be imagined.
Lin Dong hastily flipped through the script, and it was easy to see a large section of the additional drama.
After all, the changes are marked in bold font.
The original work was ordered to have forty-five to fifty episodes, so with such a plus, it is estimated that fifty episodes will not be able to hold it at all.
Well, from the point of view of selling money, it is really cost-effective.
Whether it is calculated as a salary or sold to a TV station, the money is calculated according to the number of episodes.
However, seeing that Li Lu and Zhou Meilin are so opposed, you can imagine how bad it is to change like this, after all, Li Lu asked Lin Dong to participate in the act, he is also a young actor, and the role is quite heavy, and Zhou Meilin has no objection, right.
"This is ......," Lin Dong asked, closing the script.
"This is Que Niuniu, the director of Group B of our show, an actor, and an investor." Gao Yalin helped Lin Dong explain.
Li Lu was almost angry, and he didn't have the strength to answer at all.
"New investors?" Lin Dong doesn't remember hearing about it before, the investors of this drama should be several state-owned enterprises, as well as the two private enterprises represented by Gao Yalin and Lin Dong.
"Lao Li, you can also dissipate your anger, I will go out with Dongzi to smoke a cigarette." Gao Yalin didn't say anything in front of Xiao Huangmao, and pulled Lin Dong out.
There was no one in the hallway, and the two of them were talking here, and smoking was just an excuse.
Gao Yalin began to explain today's events.
"All of them have withdrawn, those state-owned enterprises, now there are only you, me, and three other private enterprises, two of which are found by Que Niuniu......"
When Lin Dong entered the market, investors came in and out many times, and they were about to break the "Heavenly Game".
At that time, there were only three state-owned enterprises left, plus Gao Yalin, and Lin Dong, who had just entered the market, barely scraped together 120 million.
So it was announced that the project was officially launched and the start-up time was booked.
However, these three state-owned enterprises did not resist the pressure and withdrew one after another, making a TV series initiated by the highest cut a project invested by a private company.
At the worst time, only Lin Dong and Gao Yalin remained.
Lin Dong invested 50 million, Gao Yalin invested 20 million, and then there was no way, he went bankrupt and invested another 10 million.
Gao Yalin also helped find another private enterprise, the kind that has never invested in TV dramas, and people took 10 million.
Ninety million is not enough in any case, everyone is desperately looking for money.
Lin Dong also remembered that not long ago, Gao Yalin also looked for himself and asked if he could chase a little investment, after all, Kleist has a lot of money, and he can easily invest hundreds of millions of dollars in movies.
But Lin Dong refused.
Boss Lin can't help it, the system is a mallet, as long as it has been invested, no matter whether it is making money or losing money, no additional investment is allowed.
It seems that the crew is really desperate.
Que Niuniu was born in an acting family, and the elders in the family are the earliest filmmakers, and the connections are all there.
And this person is very good at fooling, and he was really pulled into two investments.
A sum of 20 million, a sum of 10 million, barely allowed the crew to tide over the difficulties in terms of funds.
He found the money, and the investors only trusted him, so he could do whatever he wanted.
From the original assistant director, he directly became the director of Group B - Li Lu did not plan to find a director of Group B, he was not at ease to hand over any shots to others.
But people have to bow their heads under the eaves, and Group B is Group B, and the big deal is to just give him some unimportant daily scenes to make him enjoyable.
As for the role of Zheng Shengli requested by Que Niuniu, Li Lu did not take it to heart.
He thinks that Que Niuniu's acting is okay, for the sake of Que Niuniu's father's face, he has cooperated with Que Niuniu in three works, and he doesn't think that Que Niuniu can't take on this negligible role.
However, what made him collapse was that Que Niuniu wanted to change the script to add drama to himself.
What made him even more devastated was that Que Niu Niu added too much drama, and Zhou Meilin went straight away, if all the relevant contracts had not been completed, Zhou Meilin might have turned his face directly with him.
"You also read the new script just now, alas, I plan to go back and find Que Niuniu's father and ask his father to persuade him." The high cliff is also in a hurry.
He was pulled into this project by Li Lu.
I thought it was to pick up some leftovers behind a group of state-owned enterprise bigwigs, even if I didn't make money, I would brush my face.
Unexpectedly, the bigwigs left the scene one by one, and now he has become the second largest investor, plus the chief producer.
By the way, he also played a role.
It's just that he didn't ask for more drama for himself like Que Niuniu.
He felt that instead of counting on the salary, it was better to hope that the quality of the show would be good, and it would be easier to make money from investing in this piece when it was sold to the TV station.
Que Niuniu doesn't think so, anyway, he is just pulling investment, even if he makes money, it will not be his turn.
If there are more scenes, it will be popular, and the salary will rise.
"Looking for my dad? Do you want me to dial for you, I'll leave it here today, you have to do it, you have to do it, you have to do it, you had better figure out what the power of capital is. Xiao Huangmao opened the office door and said a cruel word.
It seems that the sound insulation of a small office is really limited.
"Niu Niu~" Gao Ya Linqiang smiled, this comedian who played Liu Xing's father is actually very friendly when he laughs.
Do you want to be so secondary?
Also the power of capital.
Why don't you say, "Let you see the power of Stormwind".
Lin Dong felt that he was watching a play, this is the highest cut film, Xiao Huangmao, do you have brain cramps, or are you barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes.
Actually, I'm really barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes.
The more the department is a fork, the more it must talk about rules and regulations.
Otherwise, those contracts have been signed, and then the companies that have withdrawn for various reasons, why don't they worry about being cut by the highest cut to find trouble.
Aren't you afraid of being remembered in a small notebook?
There is another thing that Lin Dong doesn't understand.
This little yellow hair has added so many scenes to himself, does he think that this will make him popular?
No matter how much there is such a scene, it will be against harmony.
When it is broadcast in the future, netizens will directly scold him to death.
Li Lu also walked out of the office.
The director has always been very silent, as if he was thinking, and like he was protesting silently, but he has really a wide network in the entertainment industry, and a considerable number of old actors and bones participated in TV series, all of which came for him, and they were very face-saving and reduced their salaries.
"Lao Gao, don't say it, let him withdraw his investment, I'll continue to look for money." Li Lu leaned against the door frame and felt a strong cramp in his stomach.
"Hehe, this is not the first time you have said that you will let me withdraw your investment, and in the end you have to beg me to come back, Uncle Li, don't regret it, next time you come back to me, I will continue to add drama." Que Niu Niu is a young man, and he can't hold his breath at all.
This feeling of having chips in his hand really makes him float.
And what he honors, in addition to the care of two capitals in his hands, is also because the probability of finding new investment in "Tianju" is almost zero, and he is now the main creator, and he knows better than anyone how difficult the crew is now.
Li Lu almost fainted.
He is good friends with Que Niuniu's father, and treats Que Niuniu as his own nephew, acting, directing, and he teaches everything by hand.
How did this kid suddenly become like this?
"Thirty million, right, I'm here, let's not change the script, I've memorized the previous script, this revision, don't I have to re-memorize it?" Lin Dong felt that he had to stand up, and at this time, we were the protagonists.
If you don't stand up, it's a sand sculpture.
He doesn't actually have 30 million in his hands now, to be exact, he only has 27.8 million.
Fortunately, film investment is not just a handful of money.
It is possible to make payments in batches.
Generally, it is a ratio of three three three and one for four payments.
The 50 million invested by Kleist is now only 15 million.
2780, he left 300,000 yuan for his pocket money, air tickets and accommodation, so that the gap was only 2.5 million.
For this TV series, his salary is 1.5 million.
At present, I haven't gotten a penny, and this 1.5 million can offset some of it.
This leaves a gap of one million.
The name of the box office of 10 billion is here, and you can earn it casually.
The only pity is that if "Little Wrecking Ball" has a chance, he may not have the money to mix it in.
