Chapter 66: The Christmas Party

"Ye Tian, my parents take special care of me, when you come, go over and say hello to them!" Xia Meng personally took Ye Tian through the corridor and went to Xia Wenming's study.

Xia Wenming was writing an article in front of the computer, and when he saw Ye Tian, he quickly got up to greet him and shook hands warmly: "Ye Tian, I am writing a paper on cultural ecology, last time you said some opinions, which inspired me very much, after today's party, stay a little longer and let's talk." In addition, Xia Meng has recently encountered some confusion in the film and television of novels, maybe you can also give her some guidance. ”

Ye Tian shook his head humbly: "Uncle Xia, you are too awarded, Xia Meng has a father like you, and others have no way to put their beaks." ”

Xia Wenming laughed: "Ye Tian, there is no need to be so hypocritical and polite between us, there is still a generation gap between me, a university professor, and you young people." For some new cultures, I don't have a comprehensive grasp, especially when Xia Meng's novels are facing film and television, and many places hit a wall, I am also very confusedβ€”β€”"

As soon as she talked about this, Sun Mei came down from upstairs, noble and elegant, smiling.

In fact, now in Xia Meng's family, everyone likes Ye Tian, thinking that he is splendid, humble and low-key, and is definitely a rare talent among young people at present.

Ye Tian's gratitude to Sun Mei is not only manifested in those things in the hospital, but more importantly, he feels that Sun Mei has set an example in front of him and made him have a goal to strive for. Now, he hopes that he can become like Sun Mei and enter the circle of high society.

"Ye Tian, Director Pei and Director Xu, they have praised you in front of me many times, the two of them are the young backbones of the hospital, and it is beyond my expectations to appreciate you so much. It can be seen that your EQ, IQ, and social skills are too outstanding. ”

Sun Mei has always admired Ye Tian, and from the first time they met, she had already planted a good impression.

Xia Meng went out to greet other classmates, and Xia Wenming and Sun Mei accompanied Ye Tian to chat in the study.

Both of them were a little depressed, it turned out that Xia Meng's works were filmed and encountered difficulties.

After signing the contract, the film and television company put forward a lot of change requirements, such as adding female No. 2 and No. 3, expanding their roles and tailor-made lines for them.

If they don't change it according to the requirements of the film and television company, it will be impossible for the film to start, the investor will withdraw immediately, and the crew will be disbanded on the spot.

Encountering this situation, Xia Meng was devastated, thinking that this was against his original intention, and was considering revising the script.

"According to my point of view, there is no need to modify it at all, if you can cooperate, you will cooperate, if you don't cooperate, you will pull down, terminate the contract, and find another partner." Xia Wenming's point of view is simple and clear, and there is no room for turn.

Ye Tian immediately understood that Sun Mei and Xia Wenming's views were very different, so they invited themselves over and asked them to be a referee.

"Ye Tian, if you encounter such a problem, how will you deal with it?" Sun Mei threw the topic to Ye Tian.

"Uncle and aunt, my social experience is relatively shallow, say some of your superficial thoughts, you two don't laugh. I think that investors must achieve their goals by spending tens of millions to make a movie. Whether they are to promote positive energy, make money to make their stars popular, or to gain fame in exchange for the box office, all in all, they must achieve their goals and maximize their benefits when they take money. From this point of view, there is no doubt that the script will definitely be revised. ”

Ye Tian's point of view, to put it simply, who takes the money has the final say.

Sun Mei nodded frequently, seemingly agreeing with Ye Tian's point of view.

Xia Wenming sank his face: "Ye Tian, a movie script must always pay attention to its artistry, if it is just a piece of capital, it has no vitality and no market, and if it is filmed, it is equivalent to not filming, and it will ruin Xia Meng's novel in vain." ”

Ye Tian accompanied the smiling face: "Uncle, I'm just talking about my own opinions, and the starting point of all is to let the author of the novel sell his work and make it into a TV series or movie to meet the audience, instead of ruining this novel." If Xia Meng's novel can't be made into a movie, and its influence is always limited, those investors don't make this one, they can make another one, some screenwriters are definitely different from Xia Meng, and they are willing to follow the investor's baton to modify it at will, and finally get their own screenwriting fees, and don't care about anything else. ”

Xia Wenming frowned and nodded slowly: "That's right, the film and television market is full of all kinds of vulgar things, just because some unscrupulous screenwriters and unscrupulous writers, in accordance with the requirements of investors, arbitrarily revise and don't pay attention to literature at all." ”

Xia Meng brought another girl in and introduced to Ye Tian with a smile: "Ye Tian, this is Milan, the planner of the film and television company, is my good friend, we hit it off at first sight and have similar interests." This is Ye Tian, my good classmate. ”

Ye Tian stood up and shook hands with Milan.

Milan has short hair, shrewd and capable, sharp eyes, although he is about the same age as Xia Meng, but at a glance, he knows that he is a business elite who has been in society for several years.

Seeing Ye Tian, Milan's eyes lit up suddenly: "This good classmate of yours has a good appearance and temperament, can you come over and play a cameo role in the next film?" I feel that if he comes to act in film and television dramas, he will definitely be popular, and maybe he will be the next Hu Ge in the future! ”

Everyone laughed together, Hu Ge is currently a hot male star, and ordinary people can't compare at all.

Milan compared Ye Tian to Hook, which is already extremely exalted to him.

She spoke so wittily that she immediately blended into their circle.

"I think that when a project is formed, there must be an absolute leader, and the investor is the leader of the crew, they have absolute command over the future direction of the film and television drama, and anyone who is disobedient will be fired out, which is understandable." Sun Mei's views are always the same as Ye Tian's, and the two people's views on a certain matter are almost the same.

"However, the investor asked me to add two female characters, one female second and one female third, both of whom have a love relationship with the male protagonist, and they have a lot of scenes, even more than the female one. In this case, the whole script will become bloated, and the plot will become extremely protracted, and I would rather give up such a script. Moreover, there are not so many girls in my original book! ”

When it came to the script, Xia Meng's face was full of grievances.

Milan said with a smile: "Everyone is right, as the planning of a film and television company, I have some opinions, which are more realistic, and I will tell you about them for your reference." In a crew, money is the most important thing, and for every day of shooting, hundreds of thousands of dollars will be spent, and the same is true for post-editing. With so much money, it is spent like running water, if the film is not in line with social values, once the money is lost, the investor will lose all his money, who will dare to vote for such a crew next time? ”

This is also Ye Tian's point of view, investment is to make money, if you invest in vain, there is no output, and you will eventually lose money. Then, the investment loses its meaning.
