Chen Shuo turned his head to look and saw Ning Hao coming out of the dormitory building with a group of people.

Busy and Liu Yifei greeted him and greeted: "Senior brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, why did you come back to school?" ”

"Senior brother, long time no see." Liu Yifei also greeted.

The three of them met when they were filming the first MV for Chen Shuo, and although they haven't seen each other much since then, they are not strangers.

"It's been a long time, I came to the school to find someone." Ning Hao pointed to the person next to him and said: "Huang Bo, you may not be familiar with each other, don't look old and old-fashioned, but you are in the same class, dubbing class." ”

"Hello!" Huang Bo greeted the two with a smile.

Chen Shuo looked at him and felt familiar, and in an instant, he remembered where he had seen it before.

smiled and said: "I remember, we met before, at the National Day Gala of the freshman year." ”

Huang Bo said with some surprise: "Do you still remember? ”

The two of them had only seen that side, but he didn't expect Chen Shuo to really remember.

Relatively speaking, the first meeting was very impressive for him.

After all, the two were radiant at a young age, and he worked hard for so long to just take a dubbing class.

The gap between the two has always been in his mind.

Not to mention that the development of the two of them was thriving after that, and he was unknown in the school.

"Do you know each other?" Ning Hao looked at the two of them, pointed and asked.

"Yes." Chen Shuo told him what happened at that time, and Ning Hao smiled and sighed when he heard it: "That's really fate." ”

Immediately looked at Chen Shuo's eyes a little different, if this kind of thing had been left on him, it would have been forgotten long ago.

Unexpectedly, Chen Shuo still remembers it, and his posture is kind, and he remembers it in his heart just because of one side, which makes people feel good.

Moreover, looking at Huang Bo's attitude, I was really moved.

"Aren't you guys filming? How do you have time to go back to school? As soon as Ning Hao asked, he patted his head and said, "I forgot, "Condor" is finished. ”

Chen Shuo nodded and said, "Yes, it was just finished two days ago, so why don't you go back to the school and take a look." ”

He looked at the group of people around Ning Hao and asked, "What are you going to do here?" ”

Ning Hao replied, "We were just looking for a place to talk." Do you have time right now? Let's find a place to talk? ”

Chen Shuo glanced at a few more people, thoughtful in his heart, nodded and said, "We were about to go to Teacher Wang to report, but we didn't say hello to her in advance, so we weren't in a hurry." ”

"Let's go to the Four Seasons Hall and have a chat." Ning Hao said to take the lead and walk towards Building A.

The Beiying campus is not big, and it doesn't take long to turn around, and a few people walked through the pyramid of the small garden to the teaching building, and found a place to sit in the Four Seasons Hall on the first floor.

"What to drink, today I please." Ning Hao asked the two.

Chen Shuo was not polite, and said directly: "A cup of lemon tea." ”

"Two glasses." Liu Yifei followed.

Ning Hao didn't ask, the two people around him wrote down what everyone wanted to drink and bought it at the window.

He pointed to the few people sitting down and introduced: "Yue Xiaojun, the charter, the Department of Chinese Opera Literature; Du Jie, from the Department of Photography, my classmate; and Huang Bo, who is a dubbing actor.

Aina Xing, my girlfriend, is now a screenwriter. ”

Chen Shuo listened to the introductions of several people, and the thoughts in his heart were more certain, and he greeted several people one by one.

Several people also greeted Chen Shuo and Liu Yifei with a smile.

At this time, the person who bought the drink came back and took the lead in handing two cups of lemon tea to the two of them.

Chen Shuo inserted a cup of straw and handed it to Liu Yifei, only then did he take a sip of his own, and said, "Senior brother, this is a project?" ”

Ning Hao took a sip of coffee and said calmly: "Yes, now I am looking for directors everywhere and attracting investment."

Isn't the Imperial Capital Film Festival being held at this time, so I thought I could find someone to invest in it, and if someone was willing to participate, it would be great.

I just found Bozi and asked him to play a role, and I met the two of you as soon as I went out. ”

Then he hesitated for a moment and laughed, "I don't know if you would like to make a cameo role?"

If you don't have time, you can introduce an investor, and we'll talk about it ourselves. ”

When filming the MV before, the two jokingly said that after Ning Hao prepared the movie, they would ask him to play a role, and Chen Shuo also agreed.

But at the time, it was said that this time is different from the past, and now Chen Shuo has won the Hundred Flowers Award for Outstanding Actor for his participation in "Ambush on All Sides", and he can't afford this drama at all.

Therefore, he felt hopeless, so he didn't think of taking the initiative to find Chen Shuo.

It's just that I happened to meet today, and I remembered Huang Bo after seeing Chen Shuo's only one-sided relationship, and he was unwilling not to try him, so I wanted to invite Chen Shuo and the two to come here to talk.

If it doesn't work, he's done his best anyway.

If he doesn't succeed, he plans to find his good friend Lu Chuan, and ask him to see if there is a way.

When Chen Shuo heard this, he said, "Does Senior Brother have a script?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Ning Hao was overjoyed when he heard this, and did not refuse on the spot, which means that Chen Shuo is willing to give him a chance.

Whether it can be done next depends on how you ignore it...... No, how do you know how to be emotional and reasonable.

Yue Xiaojun hurriedly took out a small stack of scripts from his bag, handed them to Chen Shuo with both hands, and said: "This is the latest script, you can take a look, if there is anything you think is inappropriate, you can tell me, and I will change it immediately." ”

Don't look at Chen Shuo younger than them, but he is famous and rich.

For them, as long as Chen Shuo is willing to appear or is willing to invest some money, they are willing to agree to anything.

It's just that how to shoot it when the time comes is their own business.

Chen Shuo nodded and didn't say much, holding up the script so that Liu Yifei could also see it.

The title of the play is "Crazy Diamond".

At the beginning of the story, a craft factory on the verge of closure dug up a priceless diamond.

In order to alleviate the economic crisis in the factory, Director Xie planned to hold a diamond exhibition, and wanted to save the benefits of the field by charging tickets.

For this diamond, the factory's security team, the real estate developer who wants to get the factory land and the international thieves he hires, the three gangs who steal everywhere, and the factory director's son start a ridiculous battle.

The story is not new, there are many story boxes of this kind of treasure hunting, and what is fresh is the elaboration of the movie.

At the beginning, I used a montage technique of time rewind, and connected all the people together through a can of Coke, which made people look amazing.

Every character in the play is also portrayed very well, the righteous and persistent security section chief Bao Shihong, the unlucky but goal-oriented Brother Dao, the simple and reckless black skin, the ruthless and vicious real estate businessman Feng Dong, the cunning manager Qin, and the pretentious but unlucky thief Mike......

Each one has a distinct personality.

After reading it, Liu Yifei saw Chen Shuo looking at the script there again, and asked, "Senior brother, you don't seem to have any female characters in this play?" ”

When Ning Hao heard this, he said decisively: "Plus, what kind of role do you want to tell my senior brother, I'll add it right away." ”

Xing Aina smiled sincerely: "I heard that your nickname is Sissi, so I will call you Sissi."

If you have any ideas, just tell your sister, and she will help you design the characters. ”

"It's not." Liu Yifei suddenly looked at Chen Shuo at a loss.

She really didn't expect that the two of them would be able to do this for her words.

Xing Aina is okay to say that except for Zhou Yi, the screenwriter basically does not have much say in the domestic crew.

Her attitude is understandable.

Ning Hao, the director, was so decisive, which she didn't expect.

The directors she met basically had the right ideas, there was no valid reason, and there was basically no possibility of changing the play.

Chen Shuo was able to understand Ning Hao's thoughts, smiled, put down the script, and asked, "Senior brother, what do you think of this book?" ”

Ning Hao perked up, sat up straight and introduced: "This script was originally available in 2000, but I didn't have any fame at that time, so I couldn't find anyone to invest in it and shelved it first."

In the past two years, I have made a few movies, and gradually I have become a little famous, so I want to make this film.

The pre-investment is six million, which can barely be auctioned, but six million is not a small amount, and I can't save so much money if I sell it, so I can only find someone to invest.

I've read the script to a lot of people, and many of them say it's good, and I feel good about it.

But there are still few investments.

And, to be honest, I don't have the slightest confidence in whether this drama can make money.

If you and Yifei are willing to act, with your fame, I can still attract some investment, and when it is released, I can also gain some fame and pull some box office.

But the most I can do is guarantee a few points. ”

He also knew that Chen Shuo was famous and rich now, and his words of deception and bluff were useless, so it was better to treat people with sincerity.

As he said, he is confident in the script he has been polishing for four years, but he has no confidence in whether he can make money.

Just see if sincerity can impress Chen Shuo.

Even if you can't borrow their fame, let Chen Shuo take the initiative to invest.

As long as you can impress him, whether it is a cameo role, or an investor, and give him three melons and two dates, he will be grateful to Dade.

It's better than scurrying around like a fly without a head.

"Six million." Chen Shuo pondered for a while, then raised his head and said, "In this way, to be honest, I am also very optimistic about this book of my senior brother."

But correspondingly, no one dares to say that movies will make money except for those big directors and big stars.

Therefore, we won't talk about whether she can make money or not, just whether she is a good movie or not.

If this drama is filmed, do you have the confidence to win the award, senior brother? ”

Because of the preparation of "Sword Rain and Rivers and Lakes" and his participation in "Ambush on All Sides", Chen Shuo also has a certain understanding of the production and distribution of films.

On whether a movie makes money or not, it is not necessarily calculated according to the box office.

Of course, there is no doubt that the box office is the most important criterion for measuring the commercial value of a film.

But it doesn't mean that if the box office is not good, or even a movie that can't be released, it can't make money.

If you can win awards, especially some foreign awards, then selling copyrights is the main income of a movie.

This is like some underground films, which are not eligible for release, but as long as they can win some awards abroad, they can also make money.

And works like "Hero" and "Ambush on All Sides" that win both box office and honor, the benefits obtained by selling copyrights are no worse than box office revenues.

Now, the same is true of "Sword Rain Jianghu" that Zhou Yi is producing, with Zhang Yimou's name, there is no need to worry about copyright at all.

Zhou Ping, Zhang Weiping and others have calculated that even if the box office is not ideal, they can earn it back through copyright.

This is the main reason why people are willing to invest so much money.
