Chapter 25: It's hard to find a confidant in life
This is the first time Zhou Yi has lost his temper since his rebirth.
is really angry, he is thinking about everyone throughout the whole process, using the film adaptation right as a bargaining chip, fighting for the right to speak, and safeguarding everyone's rights and interests and potential performance opportunities.
Or is it that sentence, what kind of cooperation does not have the right to speak? Unequal cooperation can only be reduced to the oppressed, neglected, and plundered side in the end, and there is no one to complain about.
I'm fighting for your rights, and you're still going to blame me? Is there a conscience?
As the saying goes, there are no eternal partners, only eternal interests. At present, nothing can be relied on.
……
In the early morning, on the quiet and lonely street, Zhou Yi strode with a long down jacket open, and occasionally a lone car was wrapped in a cold wind, which blew over Zhou Yi's cheeks like a knife, tearing his clothes.
He struggled to adjust his mood.
The bitch is ruthless, the drama is meaningless, and there is no difference between a drama actor and a dramatist. High hopes should not be placed on them. Even the happy twist of the previous life can't escape the competition for fame and fortune, right?
Thinking like this, the irritability was gradually carried away by the cold wind.
"Zip it up, how cold is it?" Meng Xiyang hurriedly chased after Zhou Yi from behind, reminding him gently.
Zhou Yi ignored it and continued to stride forward.
"Don't be angry, it's almost the New Year, be happy." Meng Xiyang simply grabbed Zhou Yi's arm and shook it, coquettishly coaxing Zhou Yi to be happy. Then he suddenly grabbed Zhou Yi and said domineeringly: "Stop!" ”
Zhou Yi looked at her and was indifferent.
"Zip it up!" Meng Xiyang simply squatted down and helped Zhou Yi pull the zipper.
It was cold, her little hands were numb from the cold, she didn't pull them well after pulling them several times, and the satchel on her shoulder slipped to the ground.
Zhou Yi's heart warmed and touched her head. Meng Xiyang raised his head and smiled, "Don't you get angry?" ”
"Don't be angry, but you'd better be quick, what do you think we're doing on the street when people see it?"
"Nasty!"
Meng Xiyang finally helped Zhou Yi pull the zipper, picked up the slippery bag and put it on his shoulder again, took Zhou Yi's arm on his shoulder, and asked intimately as he walked:
"What did you talk about in the room? Why are they all angry and gone? ”
Zhou Yi told the story. Finally, it was analyzed:
"The more I think about today's events, the more wrong they become, it's very strange. According to my speculation, Huang Xiaoxin and Wang Xiaomin did not come to see us at all, nor did they come to discuss cooperation, they wanted to take advantage of us.
"When they saw the popularity of the drama "Charlotte's Troubles", they wanted to buy out the script and keep it for themselves. Then one sang red face, the other sang white face, and acted with me. As for whether to shoot a movie and when to shoot it, there is no rush at all, and there is no planning and arrangement at all.
"It's like a developer acquiring and storing land, hoarding it first, not in a hurry to develop it, and putting it there will appreciate in value. As soon as you sell it, you can make a lot of money.
"Can I be wronged? simply opened his mouth and directly offered 10 million, wanting to scare them away.
"They saw that I was not fooled, so they took the opportunity to say that they would cooperate in making a movie, let me be a screenwriter and assistant director, and let Lao Mi invest as a producer.
"On the surface, it's an opportunity, but it's actually a pitfall. We are just a small drama club, they are big directors and producers of big film companies, they have a large number of high-quality screenwriters, excellent actors, and abundant funds around them, and there is a huge disparity in status, can we cooperate on an equal footing?
"For example, you let Carrefour reach a 'strategic agreement' and 'win-win cooperation' with the store at the entrance of the community, and you still expect the owner of the store to go to Carrefour to be a vice president? How is that possible?
"So, they only asked us to cooperate for one purpose, or to grab the script.
"These fools in the drama club are still counting on the role of the movie version as a matter of course, soaring and changing their fate. , can people use our people?
"Huang Xiaoxin said in person, his original words were, 'You can also pick a few actors from the drama club to play a few small roles in the movie version of "Charlotte".'"
"Listen, 'yes,' with a tsundere attitude, like a gift and a handout. Say it to your face, can we still interject after we get on the set?
That's why I made further harsh requirements, saying that I want to be the director, I will decide the actors, and I have the final say on who to use and who not to use, and it must be made clear in the agreement.
"In the final analysis, I am responsible for everyone in the drama club, and only by letting me have the right to speak, can I let everyone play their own roles.
As a result, as soon as I said this, Huang Xiaoxin and Wang Xiaomin were annoyed, they couldn't get the screenwriting rights, they didn't have the directing rights, and they couldn't use their actors, could they be willing? Naturally, the talk collapsed. ”
Meng Xiyang nodded empathetically: "I see!" No wonder you're angry? You have been thinking about everyone from beginning to end, but they in turn blame you for blocking everyone's way and delaying their future for money, and I am more angry than you for me! We should all thank you for thinking of us. Don't worry, I'll send you a short message later, explaining the real situation. ”
"It doesn't matter," Zhou Yi said, "I don't care what they think." The iron-clad drama club, the flowing water actors, as long as I am here, the drama club can leave anyone.
"I'll give you another explanation, most of the existing actors in the drama club are not what the characters in my mind look like, and they can be completely replaced. When the time comes, I even want to take the initiative to replace them. Today's events have strengthened my thoughts. ”
"Then am I what you think 'Ma Dongmei' looks like?" Meng Xiyang asked in surprise.
"Want to hear the truth?"
"Of course, listen to the truth."
"No", Zhou Yi shook his head and said, "The Ma Dongmei in my mind is better than you, more tigerthan you, much stronger than you, and much more aggressive." But you are an acting school, obviously a gentle and bright little girl, and you were stunned to let you perform the kind of energy that Ma Dongmei didn't call.
"The only thing that makes people love and hate is that you are so beautiful, and you pursue Charlotte so much in the play, is Charlotte a blind man, but he doesn't like you?"
Meng Xiyang sneered, revealing a little smugness: "I'll just treat you as a compliment to me." But what I'm concerned about is, when you find a more suitable one, will you replace me? ”
"I think so." Zhou Yi said.
"Unload the mill and kill the donkey? Pull the ladder up behind you? ”
"Don't say it so ugly, in fact, you are more suitable to play Qiu Ya, whether it is your appearance or figure, it is like the first love of the people. If you have the chance, I'll let you play Qiu Ya and experience the feeling of being chased by me. ”
"Really? When? ”
"The next time Ma Dongmei replaces you."
"Actually, chasing me doesn't have to be in a drama."
"What?"
"It's nothing, it's home."
"What did you just say?"
"Didn't say anything...... Night, good night. Meng Xiyang pushed open the door of the small courtyard and waved his hand. The street lamp shone obliquely down and hit her face, which was not charming.
"Hehe, good night." Zhou Yi had no choice but to wave his hand.
"Wait." Meng Xiyang suddenly stopped Zhou Yi again......
