Chapter 114: Debt of Affection
Ding Shuo retracted his mind and continued to talk about the company's development.
As for the development of Bai Lu and Zhang Ruonan, Ding Shuo also had a draft, and directly instructed: "The next step is for the company to spend a lot of money to give the popular copyrights on the Internet." The focus is on romance or youth themes, both men and women buy them, and they would rather miss it. After that, I'll pick a few suitable ones for you to star. ”
"Okay.
……
Ding Shuo sent them all out, and one person went on to perfect the ending of "Twenty Years Old Again" that he had changed by himself: when the heroine who returned to the age of twenty was horrified to find that her pills were running out, then the plot was a big turning point.
All the good youth was lost in an instant...... Career, love, all suddenly woke up like a dream. Becoming an old woman again, she began to be unable to adapt to old age, although she lived a quiet life in old age.
However, after tasting the taste of youth, she could not forget the smell, and she began to go crazy in the streets looking for the person who gave her the medicine bottle, but found nothing......
Since then, she can no longer live in peace, and has become an old lady who mutters to herself and complains every day.
Complaining about family trivialities, complaining that he didn't marry love when he was young, and complaining that he didn't choose his dream when he was young. It brings infinite negative energy to family, friends, and people around you.
In the end, the family couldn't stand it anymore and sent her to a nursing home. When she arrived at the nursing home, she even said that she had a pill for rejuvenation, and she could return to her twenties by taking one, and was finally sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment as a mental illness......
In the isolation room with white walls in the mental hospital, she realized that the bottle of pill was not a gift from God, but a devil's deal......
At this time, with a slightly reminiscent background music, such as "Dream Ann Echo", it is a bit absurd.
In fact, there is another interpretation of the ending, where is there any bizarre situation of a rejuvenating old lady in reality, all of this is just the fantasy of a schizophrenic patient on his deathbed.
After a little polishing of this script, its main purpose is to tell people: to cherish the time of youth, not to wait for old age and then regret wasting time, it also has a certain meaning.
This change has changed from a family-friendly romantic comedy movie to a film with a bit of absurdity. Ding Shuo didn't know how the two compared, but he was quite satisfied with the script after the change. After all, I wrote it myself, so how do I look at it and feel good.
Since ancient times, literati have always felt that they write the best, and what others write is based on defense.
After revising it on the computer, Ding Shuo returned to the front, knocked down the name of the movie "Twenty Years Old Again", and stretched his waist with satisfaction.
……
After finishing the day, Ding Shuo, who was about to get off work, remembered that Zhang Tianai asked him to go to her new house for dinner tonight, and he was really a little excited that he couldn't suppress.
When she followed Zhang Tianai to her house, she waited for Ding Shuo to change her clothes, and talked about the recent gossip in the entertainment industry.
Since Ding Shuo's "Living Together in Time and Space" was a box office hit in May, it became popular with Liu Shishi. In June and the last two months of July, the headlines on the front pages of movies and TV series belonged to Yang Mi.
In June, the box office of "Breakup Master" starring Yang Mi and Deng Chao was 665 million; In July, Yang Mi's "Small Times 3" had a box office of 108 million on the first day of release, and the box office in the last three days was also more than 60 million.
But that's the end of it, from the fifth day onwards, the box office revenue fell to 30 million, 20 million, 10 million, millions.
Although there are endless criticisms of "Little Times" on the Internet, Guo Xiaosi and LeTV who invested in him behind him can be regarded as a win. The first three parts of "Little Times" now have a total box office of 1.5 billion. Look at this posture, counting the fourth finale, there must be a total box office of 2 billion.
Speaking of which, Guo Xiaosi can also be regarded as his 'benefactor' in a sense. If he hadn't tried to play with the gun and fired himself, he might not have gotten the system!
There is also the recently hit TV series "Ancient Sword and Strange Tan", which ranks first in the ratings of TV dramas in the same period in the country. Yang Mi is also the heroine. That's great! ”
can't help but Zhang Tianai envy Yang Mi, she herself is also a fire, but compared to Yang Mi, it is far behind. Two movies were released within a month, with a box office of more than one billion; The TV series is a hit drama on the stars, ranking first in the ratings. She is a female leader in a popular online drama, she becomes popular quickly and is forgotten quickly.
Ding Shuo comforted: "Okay, okay, when the time comes, if you have a suitable film project, I will also stuff you into it." ”
"Really?!"
……
Not to mention, how Zhang Tianai 'rewarded' Ding Shuo last night. Zhang Tianai woke up in the morning and felt that his legs seemed to be broken, and his skin seemed to be crushed.
But the body feels comfortable revealed from the cracks in the bones, which shows that "the solitary yin does not grow, and the solitary yang does not grow, so the heaven and earth are matched with yin and yang" The sentence is not just talking.
When Ding Shuo woke up, he pulled Zhang Tian Aichen to practice again, and then dressed and washed under her service.
After cleaning up, he went back to the company in the morning to improve his script, and originally planned to accompany Nazha to go shopping in the afternoon.
Who would have thought that Shen Teng called in the afternoon, saying that Happy Twist was already preparing to put the stage play "Charlotte's Troubles" on the big screen, and Ding Shuo's face showed a little strange.
Gee~
There is a feeling that I picked up a beautiful girl on the side of the road, but when I asked, I felt that she was pregnant.
But fortunately, Shen Teng immediately said that Happy Twist could give him a part of the investment share, and invited a banquet to invite several producers to sit together and talk.
Damn, I hate this kind of sudden plugging the most!
But Ding Shuo is not only thinking about the play "Charlotte's Troubles", he is interested in all the works of Happy Twist, including several screenwriters and directors.
In the final analysis, it is because his company is in a state of lack of talent and scripts.
So Ding Shuo could only say a word to Nazha, and hurried to the restaurant for a banquet.
When he arrived at the door, because he called Shen Teng in advance, he saw Shen Teng waiting for him in the hall.
Ding Shuo took two quick steps and greeted Shen Teng: "Brother Teng, you told me the room number on the phone, why did you come down and wait for me in person?!" ”
Guy usually has a high emotional intelligence in Shen Teng, and Ding Shuo can get along with him. I admire Shen Teng and his girlfriend for many years, and they never fool around outside, so Ding Shuo's call for Brother Teng is a bit sincere.
"It's out of the way, it's all the bosses sitting on it, and I'm not comfortable there."
Between words, the two entered the elevator side by side.
When Ding Shuo entered the table, the other two production companies Teng Xun and Wanda were managers, and their social status was not as high as Ding Shuo, so Ding Shuo sat at the top of the main position.
Between pushing the glass and changing the lamp, although it didn't take a while, the atmosphere on the wine table was hot.
Several people also discussed the investment ratio of "Charlotte's Troubles": the total plan is to invest more than 20 million, in addition to Happy Twist, each of the three will take out 6 million, and Twist can invest more.
Wanda needs to commit to multiple films, and Teng Xun and Ding Shuo's animations need to promise to promote on software. Twist is out of the script, and Happy Twist has the right to decide on the main creative team. The rest of the companies only have the right to advise and the right to dividends.
Several families were very satisfied with the cake they shared, and after the business was over, several people seemed more enthusiastic.
There are also two managers at the wine table, both of whom have been running business for more than ten years to sit in this position. I don't know anything else, but this means of drinking and praising people, talking to you at the wine table, and talking about brothers seems to have been engraved in the DNA.
So the four of them had two bottles of Moutai in their stomachs, and they were all drunk and prodigal, and they even said a few meat jokes.
The two managers, one holds the right to suggest the number of films scheduled by the theater chain, and the other holds the right to recommend Teng Xun's film purchase, but they have really experienced the pickling of "body for resources" in the entertainment industry.
The description of the heroine is colorful and omitted, and from the smugness that appears between their eyebrows, it is not difficult to guess that the heroine of the transaction is now estimated to be a first- or second-tier star in the circle.
Zhang Chen, the boss of twist, saw the dawn of his career, expressed his years of depression, and took advantage of the excitement to point out the country and scold Fang Xuan, wanting to be in the field of comedy, try to be high!
A few people continued to drink until they were drunk. Ding Shuo originally wanted to say goodbye to Shen Teng and go home, but he dragged him to a beer hall to drink beer.
Shen Teng confided in Ding Shuo about his unsuccessful career in the past few years.
In addition, he also said that he wanted to marry his girlfriend who had been in love for 11 years. It's just that he was afraid that his career would not improve and he would not be able to take on the responsibilities of being a husband and father well, so he didn't dare to propose.
Ding Shuo was greatly moved when he heard this, because he himself was a person who had been among thousands of flowers and did not touch a single leaf, so he gave a thumbs up to Shen Teng, a person who cares about his family's feelings.
Ding Shuo raised his glass to Shen Teng and said, "Brother Teng, don't worry. This drama will be a success! Even if it fails, I'll set up a new project for you to play! ”
Shen Teng listened, touched a glass with Ding Shuo, and then drank it all, and said, "Good brother, don't wait for next time." This time, I have a note, I will definitely guarantee that "Charlotte Troubles" will be successful! ”
Ding Shuo said angrily: "You say, as long as I can help, I don't have a word." ”
Shen Teng was satisfied, and a treacherous smile appeared on his face: "My idea is to let you play the second male lead in "Charlotte's Troubles" - Yuan Hua." You see, you are like a lucky star, where you go and where you succeed. With you joining, this drama will definitely work. ”
Ding Shuo had watched the stage play version of "Charlotte's Troubles" with Nazha before, and knew that this role was played by Chang Yuan, so he wondered: "Isn't it?" When this role was played in a stage play, wasn't it played by Chang Yuan of your twist team? Why did I play the movie version? ”
"Chang Yuan is not handsome enough, do you think, Yuan Hua is the son of the district mayor, a campus male god, and a successful person. He can't play that feeling, if you want to talk about young talents, who can compare to you?! ”
"No, can your boss agree?"
Shen Teng said with a smile: "Actually, this is the task given to me by the boss, he asked me to play the emotional card first, and then make a move." Be sure to convince you to participate. ”
"What's the afterthought?"
Shen Teng said solemnly: "The boss promised to convert your salary into an investment amount, so that you can invest more." If you really have faith in this movie, then you can earn more. Money is a bastard, you can earn as much as you can. ”
"Okay, then I'll try. But you owe me a favor. I'll look for you to act in the future, don't shirk it. ”
Shen Teng immediately patted his chest and promised: "Yes, even if you let me act in a naked scene in the future, I won't say a word, just take it off!" ”
Ding Shuo finally knows why so many celebrities still starred in bad movies after they became popular, maybe it was all kinds of personal debts owed when they were not famous!
