Chapter 5 Be bold
"What are you all looking at me for?"
After Li Mu finished speaking, he saw that his parents and uncle were staring at him directly, so he asked.
Liu Xiaohui was amazed: "Is this still my son?" I don't even know each other anymore. ”
Li Yuansheng said: "You can try, there is a possibility of success, but what kind of assistant director are you, do you know what the director is all about?" ”
Liu Xiaowu said: "Come and have a meal, and the result will make my blood boil." ”
Li Mu first replied to his father: "It's not easy to be a director? As long as the picture you shoot and the picture you think in your heart can match. ”
After speaking, he turned his gaze to his uncle Liu Xiaowu's face, and continued: "Uncle, don't patronize the blood boiling, you really have to come out of this matter, I will give you the script in a while, and you go to Director Yan." ”
Liu Xiaowu immediately retreated and said, "Xiao Mu, this is ...... You know that Uncle I am a sincere person, and my mouth is not too neat, don't mess up your affairs, or I will take you to talk to Director Yan in person? The point is that my uncle is not sure. ”
Li Mu put down his chopsticks and said earnestly: "Uncle, if you want to make a career, you have to try it if you are sure or not, you are absolutely sure, how can it be so easy?" What Qing University and Peking University are not as bold as they are, and what Harvard and Yale are not as good as daring to break through. ”
"Because the opportunity is broken, how can it be calculated? Be bold, seek wealth and danger, dare to think, persevere, be cheeky, and will definitely succeed, and we will retire if you do him for 100 million. ”
Li Yuansheng: "? ”
Liu Xiaohui: "?? ”
Liu Xiaowu: "??? ”
……
The next morning.
The Office of the Director of the Management Committee of Western Film Group.
After the establishment of the Western Film Group, the original position of director of the Western Film Studio has become history, and now it has been renamed director, but the old employees are still used to calling Director Yan Director Yan.
Liu Xiaowu knocked on the door of the director's office with the script in his hand.
"Knock Knock"
"Enter!"
"Factory Director."
"Well, Xiao Liu, what's wrong?"
"My nephew Li Mu wrote a script for an action movie, Cheng Long happened to be filming at the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Museum these days, my brother-in-law showed Cheng Long the script, Cheng Long really fell in love with it at first sight, saying that he would buy it at the highest price in the market, and the filming of "Myth" would start after it was completed, and he would be the protagonist himself, with an investment of at least 50 million."
Liu Xiaowu was so nervous that he memorized the lines he had memorized all night, and now he said them all in one go.
Yan Yiyun raised his head at this time, his eyes fell on Liu Xiaowu, and Liu Xiaowu felt a huge pressure.
"Go on!" Yan Yiyun said.
Liu Xiaowu went out.
"Director Yan, what my nephew means, he is afraid that he will not be able to grasp such a big project, for Xijing filmmakers, Xijing Film Factory is his mother's home, so he hopes that the factory can come forward to invest in this film with Cheng Long."
"You're holding this script in your hand?"
"yes, yes."
"I'll take a look first."
"Okay, okay."
Yan Yiyun didn't read the script directly after taking it, but asked: "Cheng Long wants to buy it at the highest price in the market, and he still has to star in it?" ”
Liu Xiaowu said: "It's true. ”
"You sit down first, I'll read the script."
"Okay."
Yan Yiyun opened the script at this time.
He understands Liu Xiaowu, a very honest employee, but what he said is too mysterious.
Let's read the script first.
The plot is not complicated.
The protagonist is a retired agent who neglects his wife and daughter because of his work, which leads to his divorce from him, and his daughter and him have long-term conflicts. The daughter is rebellious, and she travels abroad with her best friend without permission, but she is caught, and according to the previous style of this organization, the protagonist only has 96 hours to find his daughter, otherwise he will lose her forever.
Although the storyline is quite simple, the details are portrayed very realistically, and it is especially rare that the atmosphere is rendered excellently.
Especially the scene where the daughter is hiding under the bed, reading it makes people's hearts beat to their throats.
Thousands of miles of pursuit, just to save his beloved daughter.
On the plane, the protagonist listened to the sentence "Good luck" said by the group who captured his daughter over and over again, which made Yan Yiyun extremely moved when he read it.
The protagonist comes to the city where his daughter was arrested, follows her daughter's footsteps, and starts searching for clues from the airport, then the hotel, and then the red light district.
As time passes step by step, and with more and more evidence showing how vicious this group of people is, and as the protagonist follows the clues to the red light district, the well-informed Yan Yiyun can't help but feel deeply worried about the fate of the daughter in the script.
"Whew!"
Forty minutes later, Yan Yiyun slowly raised his head.
"What else does your nephew say?"
Liu Xiaowu immediately stood up, and when he heard the factory director's question, what his nephew said yesterday suddenly flashed in his mind.
"Be bold, no Qing University or Peking University is as bold as you, and no Harvard or Yale is as bold as you dare to break through."
After meditating, Liu Xiaowu resolutely raised his head and said: "Director Yan, my nephew said that he wants to be an assistant director, wants me to be an editor, and wants to agree on the right to cut the end." I think I am an employee of Western Film, and Western Film has invested, so it's no problem to send me as an editor. ”
"My nephew also said that he is very optimistic about this movie, Cheng Long said that he would give him 300,000 screenwriter fees, he hung an assistant director, how can the assistant director's labor fee be 200,000, he will put all the 500,000 into the movie when the time comes, and he will wait for the money after the movie hits."
"As long as the factory can agree to these two conditions and come forward to negotiate with Cheng Long for the assistant director and the right to final cut, then he will do his best to promote this cooperation - if Cheng Longfang is unwilling, he can also terminate the cooperation, find a new partner, and replace Cheng Long's starring role!"
After speaking, Liu Xiaowu's heart beat wildly.
"Qingda and Peking University are not as bold as they are? Uncle is bold enough this time, right? You only need 300,000, and my uncle will add 200,000 to you, you said that it was a big deal to terminate the cooperation, but what my uncle said was that Cheng Long did not agree and changed Cheng Long! Uncle is not domineering this time, is he bold enough? ”
"And the implication of replacing Cheng Long is that even Cheng Long can be replaced, let alone the declining Western Film Studio?"
Yan Yiyun smiled after hearing this, and said: "Your nephew is domineering enough, Cheng Long will replace Cheng Long if he doesn't agree, so what if the West Film Studio doesn't agree?" You're not looking for the West Film Studio? ”
Liu Xiaowu was immediately dumbfounded.
Yan Yiyun smiled and said, "Okay, you go back first, I'll study and study." ”
Liu Xiaowu nodded and then exited the office, only to find that he was sweating after coming out.
And in the office, Yan Yiyun pressed the phone on the desk.
"Xiao Wu, notify the group's senior management to hold a meeting, and the time will be set at one o'clock in the afternoon."
Hanging up the phone, Yan Yiyun opened the script in his hand again.
"Yes, this script is really good, especially the protagonist is played by Cheng Long - suitable, Cheng Long is indeed the best candidate for the leading role."
Western Film Studio once cooperated with Zhou Xingzhi to shoot "Journey to the West", which can be regarded as elite, but unfortunately the final result is not too good, and the box office of the movie is not high.
But at that time, the leaders of the factory couldn't look down on the script of "Journey to the West", and thought it was complete nonsense.
remembers that Zhao Jiping, as a staff member of the producer West Film Studio, even refused to enter the recording studio because of the shame, and even bluntly said: "Please, don't reveal my name, I can't afford to lose this person!"
At that time, most of the leaders of the Western Film Studio felt that it was just nonsense after reading the script, what a thing.
Many old employees of Western Film Studio still think that the script is too bad, and they have spoofed the "Four Masterpieces".
But that time, considering Zhou Xing's prestige in the film industry and for the sake of money, he finally decided to co-produce.
But this time it's different, Cheng Long also has a huge influence in the film industry, otherwise how could he go to the No. 1 pit of the Terracotta Warriors to shoot? Although it has also been complained about box office poison recently, this time this script is really not bad at all, at least it is not as controversial as that time, the box office was not high last time, and it is not good to say this time, this film is played by Cheng Long, and there is a head.
