Chapter 307: Yu Feng's debut novel (asking for a monthly ticket at the beginning of the month)
Ning Xiu is indeed not short of money.
Gu Yi II is a person, and until now, the combined property of the two lives is not as much as Ning Xiu's house.
So Ning Xiu was very confident when she said this, because since she started her business for so long, Gu Yi was the only one who came out of his hands, and then Gu Yi suddenly seemed to be a different person, not only did people start to be positive, but even they were much more tactful.
Now Ning Xiu really regards Gu Yi as her son, she is 44 years old, and she does not plan to get married in the future, because Ning Xiu thinks that it is good to be alone.
In addition, she is not the only one in the family, there are two brothers alone, and the task of inheriting the family naturally does not fall on her head.
So even if Gu Yi was blocked by this director, Ning Xiu didn't panic at all, the entertainment industry relies on capital and background, if everyone really falls out, it really can't be done by a director who wants to ban Gu Yi.
Although Starlight is indeed a lot shabby compared to those big film and television companies now, as long as the money is smashed, how can there be an absolute enemy?
Besides, Gu Yi's ability is obvious to all, and he has been in the entertainment industry for two or three years, and he also has a lot of contacts, first Huang Dong from the academy, and now he is an actor at the National Theater, not to mention the vice president of the acting academy, who is even more heavyweight.
There are also new generation directors like Liao Facun and Ding Liang outside, although the fields are different, but they have cooperated so many times, as long as they can let more people watch their film and television works and variety shows, they have no reason not to use it.
"Okay, okay, then I'll ask one last time, are you sure you won't shoot this scene?"
"Can't shoot, we can't understand your so-called art, if you want to go through the legal process to issue a summons, then we will continue."
After hanging up the phone, Ning Xiu raised her head, Song Fuxing and Gu Yi had already shown admiration, and sure enough, the person who was the boss had the confidence to speak.
"Xiao Yi, Fuxing, then let's follow what we discussed before, Wang Da is not Liao Facun, this person is even more difficult than Liao Facun, but you don't have to worry, I will take care of the rest of the matter, he can't ban you."
Hearing this, Gu Yi nodded: "Sister Ning, in fact, I've always been a little curious, Sister Ning, what are you doing at home?" ”
Because Gu Yi knows that it is difficult to start a company if he doesn't have a little money, let alone buy houses everywhere in the country, and he can live in his own home wherever he goes.
Not to mention, these houses alone add up to one or two hundred million?
Ning Xiu has said every day that the company is almost unable to do it, but she has not seen that the company really can't do it, but in the past half a year, she has recruited a lot of people to come in.
Starlight is completely controlled by Ning Xiu alone, and no other shareholders exist.
"What is not at home, I can have today's wealth, it is all by my own hard work, my family is actually an ordinary family."
Ning Xiu said with a smile.
But Gu Yi didn't believe a word.
But since Ning Xiu didn't want to say it, Gu Yi didn't ask again.
Next, Gu Yi had to stay in Hangzhou City for two days first, and then return to Yanjing after two days, because he had to solve this problem in advance.
In the evening, Gu Yi started the live broadcast.
After the broadcast, the audience congratulated Gu Yi on his success in obtaining a master's degree in Jingying, and some people gave Gu Yi a bad idea to let Gu Yi give up this place, and then go to the Central Opera postgraduate examination, the whole big job.
"You guys want me to die, I told my mentor before, people are very good to me, if I kill them for the sake of life, wouldn't it become a wolf's heart and dog's lungs?"
But soon someone found out that Gu Yi's background had changed, because Gu Yi's background was in a hotel some time ago, and now it is in Gu Yi's dormitory during the live broadcast before.
"Gu Yi, why did you run back to your dormitory? Aren't you filming? Are you playing? ”
Rolling drama is to run to shoot another film in the middle of filming, some artists who are busy with business often do this, carrying two or three roles at the same time, but only famous people dare to do this, after all, if you go from here to shoot other people's scenes, it means that the progress of this side of the drama will be delayed.
For example, if Li Xi plays under some less well-known directors, although those directors will also scold behind their backs, they will never dare to say anything in person, and even if they want to say it, they can only communicate in a consultative tone.
"What kind of drama am I playing? I'm not that kind of person, it's just that I don't shoot that scene anymore, so I just came back, and after two days in Hangzhou, I went back to Yanjing again.
"Ah, why don't you shoot? Isn't Wang Da very powerful? Did he fire you, so in order not to be embarrassed in front of us, so you specifically said this, it doesn't matter, we are all your fans, even if it is returned by the crew, we still like you. ”
Gu Yi smiled: "I'm not the kind of person with a good face, when have you ever seen me reckless?" It's true that I don't plan to shoot it this time, because that scene really can't be filmed. ”
At this moment, many people entered the live broadcast room.
"Gu Yi, how do you play a big name? Wang Da just posted on Weibo, saying that you played a big name and asked to revise the script, and then the crew was unwilling to revise it, so you ran away. ”
"That's it, that's it, Erdan, although you have a little fame now, you can't float, you are the person I have ever seen who is not easy to collapse, you have to stand up."
"Ah, what's going on? Why change the script? ”
Gu Yi looked at these barrages and thought to himself that it was finally here, and the reason why he started the live broadcast at this time was for this reason.
You must not fall into a too passive state to do this kind of thing, so Gu Yi directly opened the live broadcast to talk about it first.
"Friends, I know what you're worried about, but you don't have to worry at all, I don't think I'm at fault for this, it's just that I can't accept the script.
So don't worry, I am measured in my heart, I will definitely not collapse the house, but if I offend Wang Da, he will definitely mess with me, and maybe I will not be able to show up outside for a while. ”
At the same time, Song Fuxing, who was standing outside the room, saw that Gu Yi was almost talking, so he knocked on the door: "Gu Yi, don't broadcast live yet, come over with me for a meeting." ”
"Okay, Brother Song."
After Gu Yi finished speaking, he looked at the camera again: "Everyone go to bed early today, I have to go to a meeting, the live broadcast will be here first, and if there is any situation later, I will tell you as soon as possible." ”
After speaking, Gu Yi turned off the live broadcast.
It's just that Gu Yi didn't leave, because there was nothing to have a meeting to do at all.
Song Fuxing entered the house, and then Gu Yi glanced at Wang Da's Weibo.
"An actor can't even do his job well, and he doesn't respect the staff with a high salary, so it's better for such a person to get out of the way as soon as possible."
Immediately afterwards, Wang Da issued another official statement with an official seal.
The content is to the effect that Gu Yi did not respect the main creator, played a big name in the crew, and ran away without saying a word while filming, so now the crew of "Under the Clouds" has decided to stop cooperating with Gu Yi.
But in view of the losses caused to the crew by Gu Yi's bad behavior, they will also seek compensation through legal channels.
Seeing this statement, Gu Yi smiled instead.
Now he feels that a lawsuit is not a terrible thing, as if he has been fighting a lawsuit for more than three years.
It just so happens that the case of lawyer Tang suing netizens is almost over, the evidence in this kind of civil case is conclusive, and lawyer Tang's execution is very strong, even if the hundreds of defendants are defendants, no one has spent money to hire a lawyer.
It's just that the cases were merged and legal aid was found.
So it's impossible to lose this kind of case.
Besides, the in-house counsel in the company are not dry meals, and there will naturally be a way to do it when the time comes.
Now Gu Yi still has a decisive evidence in his hand, but he doesn't plan to release it so early.
Gu Yi got the script in the crew at the beginning, including when he left later, Gu Yi didn't put down the script, but kept bringing it out.
There are director's writings and drawings on it.
So at this stage, Gu Yi will definitely not release this thing.
Otherwise, what if Wang Da changed the script overnight?
But in the face of the other party's accusations, Gu Yi definitely couldn't help but respond.
Then Song Fuxing released a recording of the phone call between director Wang Da and the producer who were threatened.
"You are Gu Yi's agent, then you can tell Gu Yi, and at the same time, you also listen to this, if Gu Yi doesn't come back to finish filming this scene, then he won't be in the circle in the future."
"One word from me can get him out of this circle forever."
"Gu Yi's current fame is nothing to me, as long as I want to make him like Gu Yi even if it is a cat or a dog."
In the face of these, Song Fuxing only said one word.
"Always by side."
The recording that is playing now is just one of the phone calls, and the rest is slowly playing out.
So the purpose now is just to start first, after all, people's opinions are very subjective, and Wang Da is like an underworld on the phone, which will naturally cause many people to be dissatisfied.
"Is this really a well-known director in our country? I see that when he is interviewed, he always smiles and gives people a very serious look.
But on the phone, it sounds like a triad, and it always feels like a bad person. ”
"Because Gu Yi ran away suddenly, which brought so much economic loss to the crew, you can't scold two sentences, right? What's the matter, do you really think Gu Yi is a character? ”
"You deserve it, it's not been on fire for long, it's going to float, if you give him a few more years of fire, wouldn't it be going to heaven?"
"I am indeed a fan of Gu Yi, but it is difficult to say who is right and who is wrong in this matter, because we don't know what happened behind it, so it's better to wait and see."
In the end, there are still many people who feel that Gu Yi really shouldn't do this.
Wang Da posted a Weibo again, announcing that Li Xi will be the protagonist of his film next, and the two sides have reached a cooperation.
Gu Yi looked at the statement made by Wang Da, and sighed in his heart that the cooperation between the two was "strong alliance", so that the stinky meat rotted into the same pot.
But he really didn't think that Li Xi would dare to make this film.
Originally, among those who scolded him, there were Li Xi's fans, because the reason why Li Xi is fighting a lawsuit with Liao Facun now is also because of the boycott at that time, although there were intermediaries on both sides later, but no one refused to give a step, so naturally he went to court.
Now it seems to them that this matter is actually similar to the incident of Li Xi, and belongs to the same nature.
So now they were angry.
"Yo yo yo, Gu Yi hasn't seen him for a few days and started to play big names? It's still very arrogant, now just a first-line artist dares to play a big name, which is much better than our Li Xi. ”
Those fans were also dumbfounded one by one, because now this matter is to be reasoned with facts.
In addition, Gu Yi had already admitted to leaving halfway, so now they couldn't explain it even if they wanted to.
It's just that adults are like this, if they can talk about it, they will take advantage of the victory to chase it, and if they can't talk about it, they will shrink up and not respond.
It's just that many people still believe in Gu Yi.
Because Gu Yi has never played a big name since his debut, he has to be more polite and polite when he sees his elders and peers.
But just as Gu Yi was about to take the next step, he suddenly answered a phone call.
"Hey, fourth, I've heard everything about you on the Internet, are you in Yanjing now?"
The call was made by Yu Feng.
"Without Brother Feng, I'm in Hangzhou now."
"Hangzhou? Why are you in Hangzhou, yes, your company is over there, I almost forgot, so you are in your company now? ”
"Yes, what's wrong with Brother Feng?"
"It's okay, it's just that I've finished the script here, and I want you and your agent to see it, but if you're in Hangzhou, then I'll just go over for a trip, and let your boss see it too, if it doesn't feel like a problem, I still want to ask you to make my movie."
Hearing this, Gu Yi smiled: "Brother Feng, haven't you seen those on the Internet?" Dare to ask me to make a movie? Everybody is going to ban me. ”
"I'll him, what kind of thing is he, and he is still banned? I've known you for so long, and I know that you're not that kind of person, you must have a reason to do this, in short, as long as it's not at the national level that you won't be allowed to come out to take over the show, then I should look for it, I don't care who he is, what does it have to do with me if he Wang Da is famous in the circle? ”
Hearing this, Gu Yi was very moved in his heart.
"Okay, then Brother Feng, come here, and let's read the script together when the time comes."
In fact, Gu Yi had already thought about it when Yu Feng said it at the time, if the script written by Yu Feng was not satisfactory, it didn't matter, it was a big deal to ask Liao Facun for help and see if he could revise it.
Although this is Yu Feng's graduation project, it is not a big deal to find someone to help revise it, now elementary school students can write papers that can be published on SCI, college students let acquaintances change the script, it is too normal, and Yu Feng's class also has a second generation of directors, Gu Yi doesn't believe that they won't ask their dad for help.
Besides, it's just a matter of changing the script, even if Gu Yi doesn't look for Liao Facun, when the teacher sees that the script is not working, he will also propose some revisions.
Anyway, I have to let Yu Feng's first film work in his life be filmed smoothly, and then take it to theaters for release.
Even if you can't make money, you must at least ensure that you can't lose money.
Otherwise, if he loses money this time, it is difficult to say whether Yu Feng can continue to develop in the directing industry in the future.
Then Gu Yi talked to Song Fuxing and Ning Xiu about this matter, and also gave an extra sentence of advice If the script is well written, then praise it more, and if the script is not satisfactory, it is also a little more euphemistic.
The two naturally said that there was no problem.
It's just that Yu Feng completed the script with this result, Gu Yi thought about it, and slightly modified his plan to deal with Wang Da.
Wait until the next day, Yu Feng came to Starlight with the script.
Gu Yi first took Yu Feng around the company, and then took Yu Feng to see his dormitory.
"Your dormitory isn't big, but it's good that your boss can keep this room for you all the time, what are you going to do in the future?"
"Brother Feng, I definitely won't sit still, I'm not wrong about this, but the time is not ripe yet."
Then Gu Yi said the whole thing roughly, and Yu Feng slapped his thigh after hearing this: "Hey, this old dog, I found out that this ass was crooked when I was pulling his film before, and now I want to do it again, okay, don't say anything, if you need my help at that time, I will definitely be obliged, I will scold him fiercely." ”
"Hahaha, Brother Feng, I knew you would say that, but this is not in a hurry in advance, let's go and read the script first."
Then they came to the conference room, and Yu Feng gave the other three scripts that had been printed long ago to Gu Yi, Song Fuxing, and Ning Xiu.
After the three of them got the script, they read it carefully.
It's just that after reading the script, Gu Yi unexpectedly found that this script was indeed written, and it could be seen that Yu Feng had put a lot of thought into this script.
Including Song Fuxing and Ning Xiu, they also nodded while watching.
After seeing everyone watch it, Yu Feng also talked again: "The main tone of this movie is black humor, that is, comedy, because it costs to make a movie, but I don't have much money myself, even if I can get it from home, I can get a few million at most, so the cost of comedy is relatively small."
The fuse of the whole story is a pair of brothers and sisters who live very poorly, and find a priceless jade from the inheritance left by their parents.
Then there are two forces that want to snatch this piece of jadeite, one is the rich uncle on the parents' side, and the other is the rich boss who owns another piece of identical jadeite.
There are two pieces of the same jadeite, each worth $10 million if separated, but when put together, it is $40 million.
From the early stage to the middle and late stages, the story revolves around this jadeite, although the goal of the three lines is the same, but each has its own development route, until the last three lines are together. ”
The estimated shooting period on my side is three months, and as for the sponsor, it's my dad, and if the money is not enough, I'll talk about it and see if I can pull some from other places.
It's just that I don't have much money right now, so I might be paid at that time."
After saying this, Yu Feng also became nervous.
After all, his story was written based on Gu Yi and Yu Xue.
As long as Gu Yi can be won, Yu Xue can also come over and star together.
Then the rest of the cast is easy to say.
Gu Yi looked at this script and felt that the overall structure was somewhat familiar.
Listening to Yu Feng's words, Gu Yi exchanged glances with Ning Xiu and Song Fuxing.
Because Song Fuxing already had Gu Yi's instructions, he put down the script and smiled: "Director Yu, to be honest, after reading this script, I feel that the script itself is still very good, but I feel that some of it can be modified and modified to become better, of course, I am just Gu Yi's agent, not a professional director or screenwriter, I am just an audience."
Secondly, I also know your relationship, after all, Gu Yi's studio is in Yanjing, and I have often heard him talk about you, it doesn't matter about the salary, you can give as much as you want, just mean it, after all, it's not easy to have a real friend. ”
After finishing speaking, it was Ning Xiu's turn again, because even if it was cooperation, there were still many things to be clarified in advance, but this was more suitable for Ning Xiu, the boss.
Because in a way, Ning Xiu is the decision-maker.
"Director Yu, my thoughts are similar to Fuxing, that is, this movie can be made, if you don't have enough funds here, I can also fill the gap for you, but before I agree, I still want to ask you one thing.
"Mr. Ning, Director Yu doesn't have to, just call me Xiao Yu, what can you talk about first?"
"I won't ask much about the construction of the crew, since you plan to make your own movie, you must have an idea in this regard, as Fuxing said just now, I think there is still a lot of room for optimization in this movie, so I want to ask you if the movie script needs to be optimized, can you accept it here?"
Yu Feng thought for a while: "Brother Song, Mr. Ning, this script was designed by me from beginning to end, but I also know that I still have a lot to learn and improve as a director now, and if it makes sense to revise it at that time, then I will definitely not refuse." ”
Yu Feng also didn't say anything, but all the people present were human spirits, and they also heard the meaning of Yu Feng's words, that is, if the revision proposal was reasonable, then he would not be stubborn in making a statement, but if the revision could not convince him, then he would stick to his own ideas.
Actually, this is also normal.
waited until the end before it was Gu Yi's turn to speak.
"Brother Feng, I took this movie, but who else are you going to find for other roles?"
"For my sister's role, I want to find Yu Xue, and for other roles, I want to find a teacher from our school to play it, and then I'll see if I can contact some of the other young actors who are not famous, after all, the acting skills are guaranteed, and the price is cheap, but you can also have the right people here."
"That's okay, I'll help ask Xiaoxue, and then I'll ask the teacher of the acting department too, and how much do you expect to invest here, Brother Feng?" It includes the cost of filming and post-production. ”
"My budget here is 3 million, I have 500,000 on hand, and I plan to ask my dad for the remaining 2.5 million."
"Are you sure about the money?"
"This. I'll call again. ”
"Okay, Brother Feng, you confirm this in advance."
Then Yu Feng went out to make a phone call, and he fought for a total of ten minutes, but when he came back, Yu Feng's face was not very good.
"Alas, I called my dad just now, and just now he said that he could only give 1.5 million, and let me figure out the rest by myself" Yu Feng was also a little embarrassed when he said this, after all, he swore that he could get 3.5 million from his family, but now it is less than half, "My dad's reason is that since I want to be a director, it is definitely impossible to rely on my family for everything, and the rest of the money is for me to find a way to train me, but don't worry, I will definitely be able to borrow this money, and I will go to my friends to borrow some." ”
However, Ning Xiu smiled after hearing this, thinking that she was a student after reading it, but she felt that it was indeed quite interesting after reading the script, and she looked at Gu Yi's expression just now, and felt that Gu Yi really wanted to shoot this drama.
"Okay, you don't have to go to other people, I'll pay half of the remaining 2 million, and then Gu Yi will pay half, but if the box office has to be split at that time"
"It must be proportional!"
Yu Feng's face was happy when he heard this, he didn't expect things to go so smoothly, not to mention that the script passed here very smoothly, Gu Yi also agreed to play the leading role just now, and Gu Yi also said that he could help contact the teachers and Yu Xue at the acting academy.
Now Ning Xiu said that the remaining 2 million will be paid by them, which means that he can start filming this movie.
As for the box office account, he didn't think about how much to deduct, now he just wants to fulfill his dream and make this movie, even if he doesn't earn a penny at that time, let Ning Xiu, Gu Yi and his father earn it.
"Okay, then we'll settle this matter first."
Then Song Fuxing and Gu Yi left the conference room, leaving Yu Feng and Ning Xiu to continue to talk about the salary and account sharing inside.
But outside, Song Fuxing also talked to Gu Yi about it.
"Gu Yi, although it is said that this is a drama made by your friend, but I think the salary can still be a little more, and now the price of your movie is about 500~8 million, but Yu Feng is your buddy after all, so I have two suggestions here, either just get together a whole and get 1 million, or take a symbolic 18,000.
1 million is more advantageous for your worth, but the latter plan can also earn some fame. ”
"Brother Song, Brother Feng really doesn't have much money now, I think it's better to take the second plan, and don't be eight thousand, when the time comes, I will directly ask for a dollar symbolically."
"It's okay, but don't blame us and Yu Feng for what they just said, because after all, it's cooperation, so the money must be explained, otherwise when the movie really makes money, you will not get along with each other in the future because of the money, then it will not be cost-effective."
After chatting for a while, Song Fuxing and Gu Yi entered the conference room again and talked about the one-dollar salary.
Yu Feng was still moved in his heart after hearing this, because he knew how much Gu Yi was worth now.
