Chapter 229: A super first-line director with a very low posture

"Director Song and I met when I first became an official actor."

"Actually, the friendship is not very deep, and I don't know what he is looking for you this time."

"But if you feel embarrassed, just refuse, don't worry."

After telling Xu Ji who asked him to meet, he added again.

The reason why I said these words more was because I knew that Xu Ji would meet the other party only because of his own face.

Compared with Song Ideal, Chen Kang must be on Xu Ji's side.

At that time, if Song Ideal made any excessive requests, he didn't want Xu Ji to be unhappy to agree.

Xu Ji nodded.

Chen Kang's words can be regarded as a statement of his position, anyway, he is here, he also wants to see the other party.

Speaking of which, this is the first time Xu Ji has met a super-first-line director.

Although I had a relationship with each other when I participated in some awards before, I also left a lot of contact information for directors.

But it only stayed there, and neither side took the initiative to contact each other in the follow-up.

Xu Ji may be a popular director now, but every other super-first-line director, who is not a member of various honors, and has not been able to ask for Xu Ji, naturally he will not take the initiative to pull down his body to please Xu Ji.

......

stayed at Chen Kang's house until six o'clock in the afternoon, and the two chatted with each other halfway.

Chen Kang also complained to Xu Ji, because he followed Xu Ji to shoot two dramas, which caused his vision to improve a lot now.

A lot of scripts that I thought were good have now become unwatchable.

So don't look at the fact that "Soldier Assault" has gained a lot of popularity, but it is still in a situation where there is no suitable scene to film.

Hearing this, Xu Ji suddenly remembered that Pang Er told himself that the actor of the second male Zhou Xun in "Chasing the Murderer in the White Night" had never found a suitable one.

With Chen Kang's acting skills, maybe you can really try it.

So Xu Ji asked Pang Er, and after making sure that he hadn't found a suitable actor for this role, he gave the script of the play to Chen Kang.

Of course, although Xu Ji is the boss, he said that the decision on casting is handed over to director Pang Er.

So Chen Kang just went to the audition, and as for whether he could pass in the end, it was Pang Er who made the decision.

When Chen Kang saw the script sent to him by Xu Ji, he was inevitably a little moved in his heart, and he urgently wanted to open it and take a good look.

But thinking that Song Ideal had made an appointment with two people tonight, he could only do it temporarily.

......

"This should be it."

The car that Chen Kang drove when he came over this time.

Song Ideal didn't choose some high-end restaurants, but a private kitchen restaurant without a signboard.

But Xu Ji knew that the more private chefs and restaurants like this, the more important the other party was to meet him this time.

This made Xu Ji more and more curious, what did Song Ideal find himself this time.

"This is it!"

"It is said that it takes half a month to make a reservation for dinner in advance."

"It's wicked, but this time I've got your light."

Chen Kang observed the surrounding buildings for a while before speaking.

Obviously, as Xu Ji guessed, this private kitchen restaurant is really not ordinary.

After the two reported Song Ideal's name, the receptionist at the door took them towards the house. ….

When I got to the room, there was a middle-aged man with gray hair waiting in the room.

Xu Ji has seen the other party's photos and knows that Song Ideal is actually not very old, only in his forties, but his gray hair is his signature feature.

"Director Xu!"

After Song Ideal saw Xu Ji, he immediately stood up happily and shook hands with Xu Ji warmly.

"Brother Kang, I really thank you for this incident."

"Otherwise, I really wouldn't have a chance to make an appointment with Director Xu, a busy man."

surname

Ideal beckoned the two to sit down, and then poured them tea.

"I know that Director Xu doesn't like to drink very much, so this time we will replace wine with tea."

Song Ideal put his posture very low, if he didn't say it, no one might believe that the other party was a super first-line director.

Xu Ji hesitated for a moment, but said:

"Director Song, there's no need for this."

"Actually, I'm probably different from everyone else, I don't care about that."

Song Li was stunned for a moment, and then reacted quickly and laughed.

"Where did Director Xu say this, I still understand the most basic things of hospitality."

......

Before coming, Chen Kang actually told Xu Ji a lot of past stories and rumors about Song Ideal.

I have to say that the other party's life is a relatively legendary existence.

When he was in his twenties, he became the official director with the first film and television drama with a rating of 3.

And the official attaches great importance to Song Ideals, allowing him to direct many large-investment film and television dramas.

became famous at a young age, and has been named a genius director by many people inside and outside the circle.

Because of this, Song Ideal always felt that the identity of the official director constrained him.

Making money is one thing, but in fact, it is not the most important thing, the key is that Song Ideal thinks that because of his official status, many of the subjects he wants to shoot cannot be filmed.

So the decision to leave was made.

Even after leaving the official, relying on his own fame, someone soon came to the door to invest.

He also started his own company.

Everything seems to be going very smoothly, exactly as Song Ideal imagined at the beginning.

But this did not last long.

He was pitted by the so-called partner who took a fancy to his talent, and there were different opinions on this matter, anyway, Song Ideal went bankrupt after that, and he was also burdened with huge debts.

In order to repay his debts, although he has filmed a lot of hit dramas over the years, he has also been hit by reality and completely changed as a person.

The arrogant boy has disappeared, his hair has turned gray, and his personality has become much smoother.

In recent years, Song's ideal situation has only been slightly better.

His company is reopened, although the company's revenue has not been good, and he has lost a lot of money, which may only be a drag on him, but Song Ideal still has no intention of giving up.

He even invested all the money he had earned before again.

......

"Director Song, you asked me to meet this time because ......"

Xu Ji asked directly.

Song Ideal was stunned for a moment when he heard Xu Ji's words, and then said with a smile:

"Eat first, eat first."

"Let's talk while we eat." ….

......

I have to say that the taste of this private kitchen restaurant selected by Song Li is quite good.

Xu Ji himself doesn't know much about food appreciation, but in comparison, the similar dishes he has eaten before are indeed not as good as those made by this private kitchen restaurant.

And there is a big gap.

In fact, Xu Ji himself is not so fond of plating.

But the taste is real, and it suits the appetite of Xu Zhi.

And Xu Ji naturally hasn't forgotten the purpose of his coming here.

After eating a little, I put down the fast son.

Song Ideal also directly said the purpose of his appointment to meet this time.

"Director Xu, then I'll be straight to the point."

"Actually, I asked Brother Chen to contact you this time, because I wanted to ask you for a script."

"Don't worry, I know the value of directing your script, and you will be satisfied with the remuneration!"

......

Xu Ji was a little surprised when he heard Song Ideal's words.

He really didn't expect that the other party this time

made such a solemn appointment with himself, but he was looking for himself to buy a script.

Although many people in the entertainment industry want Xu Ji's script, and You Man did receive a lot of invitations.

But it is the first time for a super-first-line director like Song Ideal.

With the identity and status of the other party, it is indeed a little incomprehensible to ask him for a script.

"Director Song, do you mean, want to buy me a script?"

Song Ideal nodded, and once again said his thoughts:

"In addition to being a screenwriter, if I can, I actually want to ask Director Xu to be the crew and producer."

"After all, the screenwriter knows best what the story should be."

"Of course, I know that Director Xu is also a director yourself, and you must be very busy and don't have this time, so the producer won't be reluctant."

......

Xu Ji asked his own question with a puzzled face.

"Director Song, as far as I know, your previous scripts were actually screenwriters you found, and you usually participate in the creation."

"Why did you ...... this time?"

Hearing Xu Ji's words, Song Ideal showed a helpless look on his face.

"Director Xu, there's actually no need to hide it from you."

"At first, I thought I was amazing, but then I realized that I was nothing more than that."

"Especially in the work of screenwriting, sometimes I always want to change it according to my own ideas, but the final result is sometimes good and sometimes bad, and it is simply a matter of luck."

"Moreover, after watching your "Soldier Assault", I also wanted to make a military-themed drama, but I couldn't find the right person in the screenwriter, so I could only find you."

After listening to Song Ideal's words, Xu Ji actually didn't believe it.

If you say "I'm just like that", just listen to it.

If this is the case, then it is unlikely that the other party will become a super-first-line director.

But it should be true that I asked him for a script.

And it's also a military-themed drama?

Whether it was influenced by his own "Soldier Assault", Xu Ji is not sure.

At this time, he was thinking about whether he should agree to come down.

In terms of scripts, Xu Ji is actually not lacking at all.

But he actually doesn't need to sell the script, and his own company can shoot it. ….

Although I can't draw people now, the most I can do is delay the time.

But there are so many scripts in my head, in fact, it doesn't matter if I give some out.

If you really only rely on people from Tongji Entertainment, many dramas really don't have a chance to appear at this time, which is still a pity in the final analysis.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji still said:

"Director Song, do you have any thoughts on the script?"

After Song Ideal heard Xu Ji's words, he was immediately overjoyed.

Knowing that this thing seems to be possible, he hurriedly spoke:

"Nothing!"

"As long as it's Xu Dao, you'll write it!"

"It's the best level to be on the same level as Soldier Assault!"

......

Chen Kang on the side was speechless for a while after hearing Song Ideal's words.

There are no requirements for this t to do?

For a phenomenal drama like "Soldier Assault", it goes without saying how good the script is.

It's about the same level.

Hehe, do you think such a script can be written at will?

Xu Ji: "No problem."

Sure enough, Xu Ji definitely couldn't answer......

Wait, did you hear it wrong?

Chen Kang looked in the direction of Xu Ji with a shocked expression.

Xu Ji himself seemed very determined.

Song Ideal was also stunned for a moment, he actually knew that his request was a bit excessive

In fact, he was very satisfied with being able to have half the level of "Soldier Assault".

But what I didn't expect was that Xu Ji directly said "no problem".

"Director Xu ......"

Song Li opened his mouth to say something, but for a while, some words were choked.

The main thing is that it was a little too smooth.

He was actually ready for Xu Ji to reject him.

If Xu Ji is just a screenwriter, in fact, Song Ideal still has confidence.

But Xu Ji himself is still a director, and he also has his own company.

In the past, except for his own company's dramas, Xu Ji never gave anyone outside a script.

"But before I give you the script, I actually have the conditions."

Xu Ji ignored Song Ideal's words and added.

Song Ideal replied very generously: "Xu Dao, you can mention it!"

"You can afford as much as you want for the script!"

Xu Ji shook his head: "It's not about money."

"Or it has something to do with money, there are some things I need to know from Director Song in advance."

Song Ideal made a gesture to please say.

Xu Ji asked unhurriedly:

"Director Song, I want to know if the director of this drama is you?"

"Also, if you're shooting, who is the investor you're looking for?"

Song Li frowned.

Xu Ji's question is not difficult to answer.

It's that if the other party buys the script, even if it's a screenwriter, there is actually no reason to ask about it.

If it were an ordinary screenwriter, Song Ideal would definitely not bother to pay attention to such a question.

But thinking that it was Xu Ji in front of him, he hesitated for a moment and said:

"Director Xu, your script, if the director is not unexpected, it should be me!"

"As for the investor, it's my own company."

Xu Ji was stunned for a moment, and when he heard such an answer, he instantly understood why Song Ideal would find him this time.

And the posture is so low, just for a script.

If Xu Ji guessed correctly, in fact, what Song Ideal said is interested in the theme of military dramas does not exist at all.

It's just that he simply wants to borrow "Soldier Assault" and his popularity.

He has never understood because he regards Song Ideal as the same director as himself.

But in fact, this time Song Ideal came over, and he said it as a businessman.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji was actually a little dissatisfied in his heart.

"Director Song, I know."

"In addition, I want to ask, how much investment can you put up in this show?"

Hearing Xu Ji's words, Song Ideal replied, "Thirty million!"

Xu Ji frowned.

With such an investment, Xu Ji felt a little nervous.

Thinking of this, Xu Ji simply said directly:

"Director Song, the director is still you, but the investor adds Tongji Entertainment."

"How about we contribute another 30 million, and the script I gave, and half of the copyright share of the two companies?"

.....。.
