Chapter 280: Is It Really That Good?
"What are you doing here?"
"What are you doing here again?"
"Naturally, I knew you were coming, so I came here to arrest you."
"Today, I have a more vivid understanding of the idiom of thieves shouting to be thieves."
In Ning Kaijun's living room, Jin Shangqi and Ye Yuxin stared at each other and turned on the bickering mode.
And Ning Kaijun, who was pouring tea for them on the side, couldn't help but laugh when he saw this scene.
They came to Ning Kaijun's house this time for the same purpose. I want to borrow "The Three-Body Problem" and "Wandering Blue Star" to see. Look at how well these two books are written, so that Ning Kaijun can be publicly praised for such a long speech.
It's just that although Xu Chuan borrowed the book, he didn't explicitly tell Ning Kaijun not to show this book to others.
But Ning Kaijun still smiled and said to the two: "Shang Qi, Yu Xin, I really can't lend you this book, after all, it hasn't been officially released to the outside world, so I can't make my own decisions." ”
As soon as these words came out, Jin Shangqi immediately nodded and said, "Understand, understand Teacher Ning, it is indeed us who are abrupt." ”
As soon as Ye Yuxin wanted to add something, he heard Ning Kaijun take the lead and said, "However, if you really want to know what is written in these two books."
I can introduce you to Xu Chuan, and I'm sure he'll be happy to give you the book. ”
"This ......" Jin Shangqi hesitated for a moment when he heard this. He didn't have much to do with Xu Chuan, so he rashly ran over to find someone to ask for a book, and he always felt that something was not suitable.
Ye Yuxin also had the same idea, so he opened his mouth and said: "Don't bother Mr. Ning, I think, let's wait for Mr. Xu to officially sell these two books, let's go to the bookstore and buy them back to read." ”
"Yes, that's right. Mr. Xu is also a recognized talent in our circle, and we have to support him for publishing books. Jin Shangqi also added a kind word in a timely manner.
Ning Kaijun saw that the two of them were in this state, and immediately laughed, and said while laughing: "You guys, don't think so much, isn't his writing just for people to read?"
In that case, I'll call him now and make an appointment to meet together. You and he are both young leaders in our film and television industry, so we just sit together to exchange experiences. ”
"Oh, don't, we don't know what to do with what you're talking about. Yuxin and I are both in our early forties.
How can you be regarded as a young leader, Mr. Xu is the real young leader. Hearing this, Jin Shangqi immediately waved his hand and smiled.
Having said that, in front of Ning Kaijun, Jin Shangqi and Ye Yuxin are indeed young people, and they are not old people in their early forties in the film and television industry.
At this time, Ning Kaijun saw that Jin Shangqi only refuted the topic of age, and did not refuse his proposal to call Xu Chuan.
The old man estimated that these two were indeed interested in Xu Chuan. So he didn't say more, but smiled and picked up his mobile phone and called Xu Chuan.
A few minutes later, Ning Kaijun, who hung up the phone, said to Jin Shangqi and Ye Yuxin: "Two, Xu Chuan really can't leave the crew all day long.
He thought that it was better to choose a day than to hit the day, and wanted to ask the two of you to sit with the crew now, and guide the work of the crew by the way, you see? ”
"How can we guide Teacher Xu's work?" Jin Shangqi immediately opened his mouth when he heard this.
"Yes, Teacher Ning, don't exalt us too much. If you want to go, you go with the idea of learning. Ye Yuxin echoed.
"Hahaha, whether it's guidance or learning. It just so happens that I also want to go to the crew to have a look, I think, why don't we go together. Ning Kaijun said and got up directly.
Jin Shangqi and Ye Yuxin couldn't help but look at each other when they saw this.
Then, Jin Shangqi asked Ye Yuxin with a hint of self-questioning and self-answering: "Why don't you go and study?" ”
"It's not impossible, as the saying goes, live to learn." Ye Yuxin thought for a while and nodded.
Ning Kaijun next to him almost didn't make a sound when he saw this.
Xu Chuan is a hard-mouthed player, and these two mouths don't look soft.
At the same time, in the crew of "Wandering Blue Star" on the other side, Xu Chuan said to Hu Anze: "There are two cattle here, it depends on you whether you can become our helper." ”
"Who?" Hu Anze was puzzled when he heard this.
"Have Jin Shangqi and Ye Yuxin heard of it?" Xu Chuan said with a smile.
"Really?" Hu Anze was visibly excited when he heard this.
A science fiction movie, a science fiction movie that attaches great importance to special effects, whether the art department is awesome or not is too important.
And Jin Shangqi and Ye Yuxin are top domestic film and television art talents. The two of them have been responsible for the art work of many domestic blockbusters with other themes.
If they join, the visual effects of the crew of "Wandering Blue Star" will definitely go to a higher level.
Moreover, Hu Anze is not at all worried that his current colleagues in the art department will disagree with this. Because now they are shouting that they need the support of the big guys, and they are the ones who shout the most.
Thinking of this, Hu Anze continued: "Okay, how could they come over? Who did you contact? ”
"That's not it, they went to Teacher Ning's house to borrow "The Three-Body Problem" and "Wandering Blue Star" to take a look. Of course, Teacher Ning couldn't give them to them, so he simply contacted me directly. Xu Chuan said with a smile.
"I think Mr. Ning has encountered a talent, so I can focus on bringing it to our crew. Should I say it or not, Mr. Ning is really interested in our project.
I gave myself a 1% discount on the salary that I had negotiated, saying that I wanted to spend the money on the knife and spend more behind the scenes. Mr. Xu, sometimes I really envy your personal charm. Hu Anze couldn't help but sigh as he spoke.
As soon as these words came out, Rao is Xu Chuan's face was as thick as the city wall, and he couldn't stand it.
He waved his hand with a hot face and said, "Don't say this kind of thing to me again in the future." It's not that my personal charm is strong, it's that everyone has a heart to do a good science fiction movie. ”
This time, the salary originally negotiated with Ning Kaijun was 10 million, which was actually a low price for an actor of Ning Kaijun's level, but Ning Kaijun still took the initiative to reduce his salary and only took 1 million.
The reason, as Hu Anze said just now, the old man wants to spend his money on the blade, although he has never made a science fiction movie, he also knows how expensive production is.
And those were originally Li Fei, Wu Yunfei and others who were picked up by Xu Chuan.
After Xu Chuan announced that he had joined the group, he also took the initiative to reduce his salary, and their offer was even lower, and he only got 800,000 yuan.
To be honest, Xu Chuan didn't intend to agree to this approach at first. But after thinking about it carefully, he found that this kind of behavior may have a positive effect on everyone in the crew.
It's not that Xu Chuan plans to use this as an excuse to let the rest of the crew also take a salary cut. Xu Chuan's salary of the production staff will not be pressed, not only will it not be pressed, but it will also be raised.
This positive effect is actually reflected in the psychological effect of "actors who reduce their salaries and act". This must be able to bring some spiritual encouragement to the crew.
Of course, Xu Chuan will definitely not let them suffer in the end. If they earn it at the box office, they will be made popular.
Thinking of this, Xu Chuan smiled and patted Hu Anze's shoulder and said, "In the morning, when Bai Baiyu and Du Wenyu came to play, I happened to see that I was looking forward to a better future for our crew.
Therefore, the guy Bai Baiyu said that I was the king of domestic entertainment cakes, the little emperor of chicken soup, and after drawing him a pop cake, he came to paint a cake for the film and television industry.
I'm sure I'll not admit I'm painting pies. But sometimes, there are skills that I wish you had too. ”
"Hahaha, I try, I try to learn." When Hu Anze heard this, he immediately laughed, "Mr. Xu, I can't hide it, I'm also a member of [Third Brother Cake Shop]." ”
"Hahahahaha." When Xu Chuan heard this, he also laughed.
[Sange Cake Shop], this is one of the names of the sunspots on the Internet to call Xu Chuan's fan group.
Time passed slowly, and about two hours later, Ning Kaijun took Jin Shangqi and Ye Yuxin to the crew.
After another two hours or so, Jin Shangqi and Ye Yuxin left the crew with the two sets of books Xu Chuan gave them, as well as the requirement for confidentiality.
During this period, they didn't communicate much with Xu Chuan.
This is also normal, not everyone will talk about it in depth. They didn't come with the purpose of joining the crew this time. The visit depends on the situation, supplemented by politeness.
However, Hu Anze remembered Xu Chuan's explanation and chatted a lot with the two of them. They are all excellent behind-the-scenes in the industry, and there are a lot of topics to communicate.
After leaving the crew of "Wandering Blue Star", Jin Shangqi and Ye Yuxin did not go home separately.
Instead, they gathered in the office where they watched the video of Xu Chuan's lecture before, and watched the story of "Wandering Blue Star" one by one.
After only watching it for three minutes, when Jin Shangqi finished reading the concept of "Wandering Blue Star" that was thrown out at the beginning.
I couldn't help but shout: "I'm going, good guy, install an engine for Blue Star and take Blue Star to wander?!" ”
Ye Yuxin's state was not much better than his, and he also said with a surprised face: "Is this okay?" ”
After saying this, the two of them didn't say anything more, but continued to watch.
Just look at it, and they can't stop at all.
At this time, Jin Shangqi and Ye Yuxin's feeling of watching "Wandering Blue Star" is no different from the feeling of online literature lovers finding a very favorite online article.
And because the two people are engaged in the industry. When reading books, things like planetary engines and space elevators instinctively build relevant models in my mind. This gives them a greater sense of immersion.
In two days, it only took two people to watch "Wandering Blue Star" and "Three-Body Problem".
At this speed, it is not an exaggeration to say that it has not stopped for a moment.
After watching it, the two people who were at home directly started to communicate with each other on video.
When Jin Shangqi opened the video, the first thing he said was: "Have you finished reading those two books?" ”
Ye Yuxin, who was on the other side of the video, nodded excitedly although he had two panda eyes: "I've finished watching it, have you finished watching it?" ”
"What do you think?" Jin Shangqi didn't answer the topic that he hadn't finished reading, but couldn't wait to start asking Ye Yuxin how he felt.
When Ye Yuxin heard this question, he hurriedly said: ", that's it...... It's just, uh, all of a sudden I don't know where to start. ”
Hearing Ye Yuxin's words, Jin Shangqi was a little speechless when he wanted to discuss it.
After a long time, he spoke: "I finally know now, why Xu Chuan has the confidence to make science fiction movies."
Now I finally know why Mr. Ning can talk so long on the Internet. Damn, this is too good, this story doesn't need to be changed, you can just shoot it.
Fuck, what the hell is his brain? Could it be that there is really a Doraemon buff for him? Why is it that this dog's day is so awesome in writing songs and songs, and writing books is so awesome?! ”
Listening to Jin Shangqi's words, Ye Yuxin was also a little speechless for a while.
As talented people, in the face of a more talented player like Xu Chuan, in addition to a kind of sympathy between talents, there is also some sense of powerlessness.
Thinking of this, Ye Yuxin suddenly sighed: "Fortunately, Xu Chuan is not in the same field as us after all, otherwise it would be really painful...... No, you say, Xu Chuan already has a concept design for those things in his mind? ”
"Aren't you talking nonsense? People can write without a concept in their minds, but it's definitely not a specific concept, it's just that vague feeling. Jin Shangqi said.
It's a pity that Jin Shangqi guessed wrong again, as Xu Chuan, who has watched the movie several times, the concept in his mind is not a vague feeling.
He couldn't draw it, but he knew which direction to design it was right. This can actually save the crew's art from many detours.
"How?" When Ye Yuxin heard this, he suddenly said without a beginning or an end.
"What do you say?" Jin Shangqi said knowingly.
"The last time I went to the crew, I saw that their art department was still lacking."
Jin Shangqi was a little silent when he heard this, and after a while he spoke: "Director Qi's investment over there is also more than 500 million. Moreover, we are all familiar with the style, and we are familiar with it. ”
"But the salaries of the leading actors on Director Qi's side account for more than 200 million." Ye Yu said immediately.
As the top talents in the industry, there must be a lot of big projects looking for them.
They are not sure if other projects can make money easily, but the money of "Wandering Blue Star" must not be easy.
But the attraction of this project is too strong for the two of them at the moment.
Thinking of this, Jin Shangqi gritted his teeth and said: "Buddies have long been not short of money, as long as the treatment of the brothers below can be kept, there is nothing that cannot be done." I'm forty, and I can't fight anymore when I'm older. ”
"Call, call Xu Chuan now, and ask if he is still short of people. Don't, we're planning here for a long time, people don't want us. Ye Yuxin didn't say a word, and urged directly.
As soon as these words came out, Jin Shangqi, who was still thinking about whether to go or not, instantly began to think about whether he could go or not.
All of a sudden, he had some gains and losses.
After hesitating for several minutes, Jin Shangqi finally dialed Xu Chuan's phone.
The phone rang a few times and was connected, and Xu Chuan and Xi's voices came from the receiver: "Teacher Jin? ”
"Well, that, Mr. Xu, hello." Jin Shangqi didn't know how to speak.
"Hello, hello, it's a coincidence that you said, I was thinking about calling you, but I didn't expect you to call first." Xu Chuan smiled and said.
"Really? Are you going to call me? Jin Shangqi immediately asked tentatively when he heard this.
"That's right, the art department of our crew still lacks some strong creators. You and Mr. Ye are recognized as our top practitioners in China.
So, I think you must know a lot of excellent people over there, and I want you to help me introduce them. Xu Chuan's words were tactful, and the face was very good.
As soon as these words came out, Jin Shangqi said without much hesitation: "The introduction may not be able to be introduced for the time being, you see how I and Ye Yuxin are." ”
"Really? That's great, and it would be great if you and Mr. Ye could join in person. Xu Chuan replied in a surprised and surprised voice.
That's actually enough for the day.
Soon, the two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and hung up the phone without even talking about the price.
After hanging up the phone, Jin Shangqi got up from the chair, dialed Ye Yuxin's phone to inform him of the news, and ran to the bathroom to wash up.
After reading the book for two days, he didn't take a shower and didn't eat much.
After finishing it, he ran out on his feet again, and his wife immediately shouted: "Lao Jin, why are you going?" ”
"Go to the studio." Jin Shangqi didn't explain too much, but pushed the door and left with his shoes on.
About half an hour later, Jin Shangqi, who was excited, ran to his studio, stood in the middle of the staff office area and shouted, "Let's put aside the work at hand." ”
When everyone in the studio heard this, they immediately looked at their boss curiously.
"I have good news for you, right now, we're going to participate in a project, a very fun project, more fun than any of our previous projects."
As soon as these words came out, someone immediately asked, "Boss, what project?" ”
"Xu Chuan's "Wandering Blue Star"."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the studio didn't have much reaction, and this scene made Jin Shangqi a little confused.
No, why aren't you all excited at all?
Don't you know how exciting the story of "Wandering Blue Star" is?
Wait, they really don't seem to know.
I'm dancing here for the blind to see.
Thinking of this, Jin Shangqi was just about to say something, when he heard a weak voice from the corner of the studio: "Boss, Mr. Mu's team seems to have joined the crew of "Wandering Blue Star" just now. ”
"Teacher Mu, Mu Zeyan?" Jin Shangqi was puzzled when he heard this. Mu Zeyan in his mouth is one of the strongest prop production teams in China, and he has cooperated with Jin Shangqi many times.
"Right? Mr. Mu Zeyan, someone from their company told me, that Mr. Mu has been happy in the studio for a long time now, as if he had won the lottery jackpot. The man replied.
As soon as these words came out, Jin Shangqi couldn't help but be stunned, and an idea instantly popped up in his mind, that is, Mu Zeyan had also met Xu Chuan and got the book sent by Xu Chuan.
The facts are just as Jin Shangqi guessed.
Xu Chuan has received a lot of people in the past two days.
Ning Kaijun's unprecedented praise of Xu Chuan's story made too many people curious.
Coupled with Xu Chuan's Jingying speech, it did move some people who still have idealism.
In addition to behind the scenes, there are also some well-known actors in front of the stage, who also want to see this book that was praised by Ning Kaijun.
So, I also contacted Xu Chuan, hoping to take it back and take a look.
In two days, it only took two days for Xu Chuan to send "The Three-Body Problem" and "Wandering Blue Star" to more than 100 people.
In addition to behind-the-scenes actors like Jin Shangqi and actors like Ning Kaijun. There are also leaders of some relevant units, as well as the heads of some large film and television related companies.
Of course, there are also some well-known authors. Even, the brand CEOs who have a good relationship with Xu Chuan have called Xu Chuan to ask for books.
But let's be honest, some of them certainly didn't come for the book. Instead, he found a reasonable reason to have a relationship with Xu Chuan.
This is how the network of people was established, and they asked Xu Chuan to "beg" for an autograph. Xu Chuan "begged" them to keep "Wandering Blue Star" secret, and by the way, he helped promote his upcoming "Three-Body Problem".
In the back and forth, everyone reflects their "special value".
Another three days passed.
At this time, those who got the book were basically finished reading what they were willing to read.
It was at this point in time that Xu Chuan's phone began to get busy again.
Several actors called and asked the same questions. That is, if there are still roles to play, cameos are okay, they can be paid or not.
For a moment, Xu Chuan, who answered the phone, felt that he might not be filming "Wandering Blue Star", but "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic".
However, there are not too many characters in "Wandering Blue Star" that need to be cameo, and the main role has already been decided.
Although Xu Chuan can be increased, after all, having more stars is also a selling point.
But he hopes that everyone will watch his movie, or focus on the story, and whether there is a well-known actor making a cameo in a few minutes and seconds.
Therefore, Xu Chuan naturally declined their kindness one by one.
This refusal, and the topic of these people immediately turned to asking when "The Three-Body Problem" will be filmed.
Not a person said that if filming starts, please be sure to notify him to audition. It can be seen that I was really attracted by this story.
It was also at this time that some actors began to spontaneously learn from Ning Kaijun, and wrote at length on their official social media accounts about their feelings after reading these two books.
There are many beautiful words in it.
There are long reviews, and photos of Xu Chuan's autographed books are naturally indispensable.
And other behind-the-scenes people, actors, bosses, and other big people in other fields who received the book also expressed their opinions on the Internet more or less within two days.
Only then did the public find out.
it?
Why is there a lot of talk about "Three-Body Problem" and "Wandering Blue Star" on the Internet?
And everyone is boasting, is this book really so well written?
Don't be embarrassed, right?
Driven by these people, how can netizens who are already curious about these two books still hold back?
A bunch of people ran to Xu Chuan's Weibo and asked him, are you fucking selling this book yet?
In fact, not only netizens are curious, but also many peers are also curious.
Xu Chuan sent more than 100 sets of books, which is a drop in the bucket compared to practitioners in the film and television industry.
Originally, everyone didn't care so much, but now it's like this when you look at the heat. I really plan to see what Xu Chuan's creative ability is in science fiction stories.
In this case, on March 13, Xu Chuan announced that "The Three-Body Problem" was officially launched on the shelves of major online malls and offline bookstores.
