Chapter 3 What Do You Say? Do you also write screenplays?
The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, and the evening breeze is slightly cool.
The barbecue stall on the side of the road makes this supposed lonely night hot.
Gu Bei originally thought that Hu Lai was a dignified director, so why did he have to go to a place with a strong personality when he was invited to drink.
But I didn't expect that it was just a skewer on the side of the road.
I really don't know if he's slamming the door or down-to-earth.
"Director Hu, I want to ask you, that ...... When can I settle the song usage fee? ”
After three rounds of drinking, Gu Bei felt that it was time to talk about business.
Because before he came out, he had signed a contract with Hulai, but Hulai did not give the money for a long time.
He can't do it without money, now he is penniless, and the rent is due, and if he can't pay the rent today, he won't even have a place to sleep tonight.
"Ah Bei, when you drink, don't talk about work first, come on, keep drinking."
Hu Lai prevaricated, filling Gu Bei's wine glass, and his drunken eyes were a little erratic.
"Hulai, tell me honestly, do you have no money? Still don't want to give? Although he is not an old Jianghu, Gu Bei can still see at a glance that something is wrong.
If you have money to give it directly, it's over, so why shirk it again and again.
"Yes, of course I have money!"
"Then you give it to me."
"Abei, music is art, art is priceless, don't you think that talking about money is tarnishing art? It's so vulgar. ”
"The art of bullshit, talking to people!"
"Okay...... To be honest, I don't have any money right now. ”
"Damn!"
At this moment, there were 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping in Gu Bei's heart.
I thought that my spring was coming, but I never thought about it, but in the cold winter, I stepped on a piece of hot.
Hulai was very calm.
Anyway, the contract has been signed, and Gu Bei has to sing this song if he sings it, and he has to sing it if he doesn't sing it.
In fact, he still has tens of thousands of yuan in his card, but it is reserved for Gu Beilu to record songs.
The investment in "That Year of Youth" is more than one million, which has already been spent, and he even posted some of it himself.
Even if he knows that this movie is rubbish, he may not even be able to go to theaters.
But this is the first and possibly the last of his career, so he's going to have to end it anyway.
"Do you think that's going to work? Give me a little advance first, give me three or five thousand, three or five hundred. Gu Bei finally chose to compromise.
Now I really can't open the pot, I'm penniless, and I don't know where to sleep tonight.
Shit, this fucking rebirth.
If I can do it all over again, I don't want to choose Li Bai, I just want to die suddenly!
"Of course you can make a little advance!" This time, Hulai was very bold and took out a stack of tickets from his pocket.
Gu Beideng's eyes lit up with golden light, and for the first time, he felt that Hu Lai, a dead fat man, was very handsome, especially this action of paying money, which was so handsome that he was scum.
However, when he saw the amount of the ticket, the smile on his face gradually froze......
"Two hundred and fifty yuan, or there are whole pieces, dead fatty, you play with me?"
"Ahem, I...... That's all I have on me now. ”
"I'm going to pay three hundred rent!"
"What rent do you have to pay, go to live with me, you can live as long as you want, don't worry, I don't snore when I sleep."
"I thank you!"
The matter has come to this point, Gu Bei has no choice.
I can only rely on this dead fat man first.
Hu Lai continued to drink wine and skewer as if nothing had happened.
Gu Bei looked at this fat man who was eating and drinking, and cursed countless times in his heart......
"That...... Abei, check out, let's go home. ”
"Checkout? You invite me to dinner and ask me to settle the bill? ”
"Didn't I give you all my money?"
"How much?"
"Two hundred and forty-nine yuan, I know the boss well, you can give two hundred and four."
"Grass!"
It was late at night, the moon was still high in the sky, but the lively streets during the day were deserted.
Just like this, Gu Bei's mood is so cool, wow cool, wow cool.
......
Hulai's residence was very shabby.
said that it was a kennel, and that was to lift him.
The only thing that luckily was that the bed was bunk beds, so Gu Bei didn't have to squeeze with him.
"Abei, you don't have to be restrained, just treat this place as your home." Hu Lai, who was already seven points drunk, said something vaguely, and then fell asleep.
Prim? In your place, do I still need to be restrained?
Gu Bei also drank a lot, but he didn't feel sleepy.
Light a cigarette and sit down in a dusty chair.
Looking out the window at the night sky, I felt a little melancholy.
He has never been a pessimistic person, and he has gritted his teeth and persevered after writing online articles on the street for so many years.
What is rebirth? What's the point of no money?
In just one cigarette, Gu Bei strengthened his heart.
I want to write scripts, I want to make movies, I want to make money, I want to have a deposit of 100 million!
Then find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, get a dog, and continue to write novels.
This is Gu Bei's dream.
After rummaging in Hulai's kennel for a while, finding a pen and paper, Gu Bei began to write the script according to the plot of his memory......
......
The sky is white.
The morning sun is rising.
Gu Bei stretched his waist and looked at the script he had written after staying up late, very satisfied.
", Aobei, you're going to be on fire!"
Suddenly, Hu Lai's howl came from behind Gu Bei, almost causing him to die suddenly.
"Damn, is the Golden Throat Piece endorsed by you? Can you be quieter? ”
"What's that? I said you're going to be popular, your song "You at the Same Table" was posted on the Internet, and it has millions of hits in just one night, take a look. ”
"Oh? And what's going on? ”
Gu Bei took out his mobile phone, opened the webpage, searched for "You at the Same Table", and sure enough, he saw a lot of videos of him singing yesterday.
It was even uploaded to a music platform, although it is not very popular, but the popularity is rising in a straight line.
However, what made Gu Bei speechless was that at the end of the song, the scene of Hu Lai hugging his shoulders and shouting "I want you" was also recorded.
At the end of the video, there is a freeze frame of him holding a guitar and shouting "I'm a straight man".
The panicked, but slightly shy little eyes may be the real reason why the video became popular.
Who made this editing!
"The mouth says no, but the body is very honest, look at the longing little eyes."
"It's a video ...... full of emotion"
"My husband listened to this song, ran away from home and didn't return all night, saying that he wanted to find him at the same table and find his first love, which was so good!!"
"Upstairs, I'm your husband's first love, don't worry, he's fine."
"Who is this man? Could it be that which company is going to start recruiting newcomers? ”
"Who is the one who sings? The video is too blurry, right, was it taken with a landline? ”
"Although it is suspected of hype, the song is good."
"It's powdered, let's release the record, I'll buy it!"
“......”
After casually glancing at the comments, Gu Bei's heart was quite calm, after all, the network was powerful, and he didn't know it today.
And it's just that the video is popular, and you can't give him money.
He just wants to make money now!
Only money can make him happy.
"How about it, Abei, take advantage of this heat, let's go out quickly and find someone to record a song!" Hulay got up from his bed, in high spirits.
If the song is popular, take advantage of the trend to promote your movie, maybe there are really theaters willing to broadcast it.
Hulaime thought to herself.
"Not now, I'm sleepy, I need to sleep for a while."
"You don't think you haven't slept all night, do you? Are you writing songs? ”
"I'm not writing songs, I'm writing scripts."
"Oh, write the script...... Wait, what do you say? Do you also write screenplays? ”
"Is it strange that someone as talented as me can write a screenplay?"
"You let me see!"
......
