Chapter 555: Charlotte's Troubles
Shen Teng's movements were very fast, and he handed over the script to Ding Xiu early the next morning.
At noon, Ding Xiu received a call from Qin Gang.
"Brother Xiu, there is your script in the office, do you come here to get it or will I send it to you?"
Qin Dynasty Entertainment, Qin Gang called Ding Xiu, and his eyes kept staring at the thick script.
The person who came was still entertained by him, Happy Twist Entertainment Company.
Handed over the script not to find Ding Xiu to star, but to let him invest.
That's a big deal.
When it comes to film and television investment, there is no less than tens of millions.
In film and television production and investment, the company's annual share and money are a certain amount.
Ding Xiu suddenly had one more here, of course he had to ask.
"Come on, I haven't seen you for a long time, let's have a drink together."
Since he asked Shen Teng to send the script to the company, he didn't plan to hide it from Qin Gang, and it was good to discuss it.
He can tell the good from the bad in the script, but he doesn't understand the market.
It just so happens that Qin Gang is an expert.
In less than half an hour, Qin Gang drove to the door of Ding Xiu's courtyard and entered the house with the script in his hand.
"Your yard is getting better and better." Entering the door, Qin Gang looked up and said.
In June, the weather was hot, and it was more than 30 degrees outside.
I can't sleep at home without turning on the air conditioner.
The courtyard is much better, the entrance is much cooler, down-to-earth, warm in winter and cool in summer.
Under the jujube tree, Ding Xiu was making tea, and he didn't raise his head and said, "It's not as good as your big villa." ”
In the past two years, his time in the courtyard has become shorter and shorter.
Without his scourge, the jujube tree has not been pierced for a long time, and those tree holes, skin injuries have all healed.
The branches are getting thicker and thicker.
In summer, it can cover most of the yard, and it is particularly pleasant to enjoy the shade.
No, Ding Xiu moved the stone table and put it under the tree, so that he could make tea and play chess.
"Damn, that's what you're talking about?" Qin Gang sat down in stride, and when he saw that he was drinking tea, he couldn't help but scold: "I thought I was drinking sauce." ”
Ding Xiu rolled his eyes: "Every time I go to your place, don't you always entertain me with tea, I wonder if you have quit drinking." ”
"Quit wool, I'm afraid you'll spoil my good wine."
Ding Xiu drank wine like an animal, gulping and pouring, there was no difference between a dozen yuan a pound and tens of thousands of yuan a bottle, and the drink made Lao Qin Zhi feel distressed.
Later, I simply prepared a few boxes of tea in the office, and when Ding Xiu came over in the future, he would entertain him with tea.
Good wine or something, keep it for yourself.
"It's a waste of this tea for you." Seeing Ding Xiu's cow chewing peony-like drinking, Lao Qin shook his head, rolled up his sleeves and gave Ding Xiu a lesson.
After a small drop of tea leaves in the teacup, he poured the boiling water down, and the lid of the cup was skillfully scraped twice around the mouth of the teacup.
"It's called scraping!"
"It's called frustration tea"
"It's called Shake Incense!"
"It's called going to sea."
After a few angry movements, Qin Gang poured the tea into the small cup in front of Ding Xiu.
Then don't forget to flip the lid and show the tea residues.
"It's called Zhan Ming."
The cup is flipped over and the residue returns to its place.
"It's called unity."
Ding Xiu rolled his eyes at this set of actions, playing this set in front of him, isn't it a trouble.
When he was drinking tea, Qin Gang's ancestors were still wearing open crotch pants.
"Do you know why there are so many bells and whistles?"
Qin Gang said proudly: "Because of culture, we drink tea and drink elegantly." ”
I think back then, he was also a vassal and elegant, and he was a master of the tea ceremony.
Ding Xiu picked up the teacup and drank it all: "Because it's too hot to drink like this." ”
Qin Gang: "......"
"I find it redundant to tell you this."
"Then it's not superfluous." Ding Xiu's chin nodded towards the script on the table: "Have you read it?" ”
"I didn't see it, I'm waiting for you." Qin Gang handed it over to Ding Xiu.
Picking up the script, Ding Xiu untied the file bag and said, "How much do you know about Happy Twist?" ”
After coming back last night, he briefly checked Shen Teng's information.
He is indeed a great person.
graduated from military arts, focusing on sketches, and he was the one who held the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years.
In addition to sketches, he also acted in stage plays, which have been performed for more than ten years and have performed more than 3,000 stage plays.
Ding Xiu, a person in the sketch industry, doesn't know much, just a Jia Ling.
But Jia Ling is much worse than Shen Teng, this will make Jia Ling become a variety show, and the sketches are no longer touched.
From entering the industry to changing careers, Jia Ling actually didn't stick to it for many years.
Shen Teng has been doing it for more than ten years, and he also came to the Spring Festival Gala three times in a row, which shows that it is amazing.
If he hadn't been a little younger, Ding Xiu would have thought that this was something that only an old artist could do.
Qin Gang took out his mobile phone, Ding Xiu thought he was looking through the information, who knows......
"Hey Xiao Zhang, immediately check the information of Happy Twist for me, and send it to my mobile phone after checking."
Ding Xiu didn't bother to ask again: "Shen Teng found me last night and said that he recommended a script for me to invest." ”
"Personally, I don't do comedy, but I'm interested in comedy."
To be precise, he was interested in making money.
In recent years, the box office has been a comedy for the Spring Festival.
That old one doesn't work anymore.
During the Chinese New Year, the common people like to watch festive things, and have fun, who still watches the fighting, killing, and bitterness.
Therefore, it is a great skill to make the audience laugh.
Xu Guangtou's embarrassment, and Xing Ye's Journey to the West are all in this way.
Shen Teng has held three Spring Festival Galas in a row, plus more than ten years of drama experience, which has proven that he has this ability.
"Charlotte troubles?"
The file opened, and the title of the play came into view.
"Charlotte?" Qin Gang was stunned for a moment: "Foreign background movies? ”
The corners of Ding Xiu's mouth twitched: "It's Charlotte, it's very troublesome." ”
The first few pages are the outline, Ding Xiu read ten lines at a glance, and he read it quickly, and I have to say that this story attracted him.
A frustrated middle-aged man traveled back to his high school days because of a classmate's wedding, and became a new generation of kings by singing and writing lyrics.
It's very comedic.
After reading a page, Ding Xiu put a page on the table, and Qin Gang picked it up and followed it.
"Hey, hey!"
"Hahaha!"
"Hey, hey, hey!"
"Hahahaha!"
The two of them were like repeaters, Ding Xiu laughed after Qin Gang laughed, and Gao Yuanyuan in the room almost didn't call the police when she heard this oozing laughter.
"It's kind of interesting." Ding Xiu burst into tears and laughed, temporarily put down the script and took a sip of tea.
In just a few minutes, he had already seen Charlotte finish beating the teacher, finish the review, and confess Qiu Ya.
The funny thing is that Yuan Hua is still yelling that this question is too difficult.
After just reading a few pages, Ding Xiu had already memorized the names of several characters, Xia Luo, Qiu Ya, Ma Dongmei, and Yuan Hua.
The characters are three-dimensional and vivid.
Qin Gang's face flushed with a smile, and he didn't shave any more tea, so he picked up the teacup and drank: "You took away the first kiss of God, this wedding is so interesting, it's all baggage, one after another." ”
"And this Teacher Wang, talent, all the gift-givers remember, obviously so conscienceless, I don't know why I laughed out loud."
After a few sips of tea, Ding Xiu gradually put away his smiling face: "This script is very mature, and almost none of it is nonsense." ”
"The rhythm is very steady, the baggage is all carefully designed, while it is funny, the theme is not broken, it seems to express comedy, think deeply, and there is something else."
Ding Xiu continued to watch, and Xia Luo, who had lost his conscience, abandoned his wife Ma Dongmei in his previous life and chased Qiu Ya into his hands.
Yuan Hua, who was furious, called a few thugs to beat him, Ma Dongmei rescued him alone, and the two were beaten together.
Xia Luo subconsciously protected Ma Dongmei under him......
When Ding Xiu was reading the script, Qin Gang's mobile phone sounded, making the happy twist information of Cha arrive.
Without a hurry to read it, he turned his phone over and put it on the table, and continued to read the script.
The script is no better than the movie screen, and it took two people less than an hour to finish it.
At this time, the warm wind blows, and a few leaves fall from the table.
"Good script, 100% fire." Ding Xiu gave an evaluation.
Qin Gang played with the teacup and said, "Do you think that if this is released, it will have a box office of several hundred million?" ”
"It depends on who will direct and who will shoot."
If a good script is handed over to a garbage actor or garbage director, it will be similar to shit.
A high-grossing movie is indispensable at the right time and place.
Qin Gang picked up his mobile phone: "I will give you the information of Happy Twist, established in 2003, deeply engaged in the field of comedy, and launched the concept of Chinese New Year stage plays." ”
"So far, 86 stage plays have been released, of which 64 are original."
The core figures of the company are Yan Fei, Song Yang, Shen Teng, Ma Li, and Chang Yuan...... The Charlotte Troubles we are watching now is also one of their company's representative comedies. ”
"As of today, there have been more than 600 performances across the country."
"No wonder." Ding Xiu was relieved: "Why are my lines so mature, they can be put on the screen without changing a word." ”
Drama is a delicate job, a good drama can be performed for a hundred years, and two hundred years will not be outdated.
The reason is that the actors are constantly polishing.
Polishing the lines, polishing the performance, polishing the mood.
A role has been played more than 600 times, so you can imagine how profound your understanding of the role and lines are.
The version in my hand now is the final version after the actor has performed 600 shows.
"And the person who plays Xia Luo is the Shen Teng you have seen." Qin Gang threw another piece of news.
Ding Xiu's eyes lit up, it was best to invite the original team to play, after all, they have all acted in more than 600 shows, and their skills and understanding of the role must be profound.
"Brother Xiu, this script has a head, him!" Qin Gang immediately made a decision.
Ding Xiu shook his head: "What I want is to directly copy the bottom and buy their company." ”
"Doesn't our company want to do comedy, it's all ready-made, the team scene, the script is ready-made, the actors are ready-made, the screenwriter is ready-made, and there are so many stage plays."
"A pot is served to them, all of them are packed, and in the future, Shen Teng and them will focus on the Spring Festival stalls."
After a burst of excitement, Qin Gang smiled bitterly: "You really dare to think about it, a pot of serving, how much money does it cost to buy it." ”
"There are more than 600 original dramas, and the copyright alone is a big expense, and there are so many artists."
"You have to know that they are also making a profit, and finding the door is not bankrupt, but there is not enough funds, and there is the first time on the screen, worried about losing money, and looking for someone to take risks."
"Don't worry about it for now, make an appointment for dinner and talk."
Ding Xiu took out a business card from his pocket and slapped it on the table, which was given by Shen Teng last night.
Qin Gang put the business card in his pocket: "Give it to me." ”
The breeze blew across his cheeks, Ding Xiu's long hair was blown up, and he squinted his eyes and said, "The soldiers are fast, hurry up, I suspect that they are looking for more than us." ”
"Understood!"
Qin Gang put away his mobile phone and business card and went out, leaving only the script.
That night, the Happy Twist man had dinner with him, and the two companies started the first round of negotiations.
After the dinner, Qin Gang reported his achievements to Ding Xiu as soon as possible.
"Twist does not sell the company, only accepts the investment of this film, their budget of 50 million, there is still a gap of more than 30 million, I plan to cover it all."
"By the way, in the casting and filming team, they are not allowed to interfere, but let us do the publicity."
Ding Xiu smiled: "It's beautiful to think, all the good things are accounted for." ”
"Brother Xiu, you may not know the situation, now it's not good that we are begging others, as you think, they have found several companies to attract investment."
"The other families are not stupid, they are all willing to invest money, and the reason why it has not yet been decided is that they are occupying shares, and there are differences in casting."
It is an old tradition that the hero and heroine should use the person recommended by the investor's father.
Ordinary small companies have no right to speak, so they can only follow the film and television company's butt to eat, so naturally they don't dare to make demands.
But large companies, after investing money, must have requirements.
More than ten years ago, in the era of coal bosses, those coal bosses were the best to speak, and people also asked to stuff their girlfriends into the group.
Or ask to go to the hotel at night and personally test the acting skills of the heroine.
Tens of millions of votes can neither determine the ownership of the role, nor can it use the designated shooting team, so it is not a big injustice.
"Talk, continue to talk, there should be buffer room."
"In addition, you give me Shen Teng's contact information, and I will invite him to dinner."
Lao Qin is in the management of the company, and operation is his strength, but he is still almost poor in digging corners.
It is the same as digging people and washing feet in a foot bath shop.
It doesn't work to talk well, and the technician doesn't touch it.
