A popular producer like Chen Zhixi is so easy to talk to, Liu Yifei feels incredible.

"I was ready for a while, and before I could finish my words, she agreed to cooperate with me." That night, Zhang Yuanjun went home after the performance, and when the two had dinner, Liu Yifei said.

"You didn't hear her say that she's a fan of yours. People like you and want to work with you. Zhang Yuanjun said.

"I don't have such a big face, after all, millions of real money, my name is not so valuable." Liu Yifei said.

"Everyone has agreed to cooperate, don't be presumptuous here, who will think that your money is too easy." Zhang Yuanjun said, "Talk to her later, work hard for your own, don't be frightened by her name as a 1 billion producer." ”

"I know that I found the screenwriter and the director, and she can't do anything to me." How can a person like Liu Yifei who is stubborn and refuses to admit defeat let others seize his power, even if the other party is a 1 billion producer.

27 movies were squeezed in January, especially after mid-term, schools were closed one after another, and animated films were released in a pile.

However, in the mainstream market, there are only two films worth paying attention to, "007: Quantum of Solace" and "Cloud Atlas".

But neither Zhang Yuanjun nor Liu Yifei had time to go to the movies.

On the 20th, Zhang Yuanjun completed the last performance of the theater's opening performance "Camel Xiangzi", and all the work of the previous year was completed.

Wang Shuping also sent the first draft of the full version of the script of "Miss Bai" to Liu Yifei's mailbox at 11 o'clock that night.

Liu Yifei typed out overnight to look at it.

But the next night, Zhang Yuanjun told Liu Yifei: "I don't like you two characters." ”

"Why, isn't this good, I hate them so much that their teeth itch." Liu Yifei said.

"The problem is here, the villain couple is face-painted, the bad is simply bad, and the emotions that these two output to the audience are too direct and strong." Wang Shuping wrote the two villains of the two males and the second female in this draft of the script too simply, which Zhang Yuanjun didn't like, "Let's say it selfishly, if you want to act in a literary film and win awards to prove your acting skills, ......"

"Who wants to win the prize." Liu Yifei denied it.

"You touch your conscience, forget it, let me touch it." Zhang Yuanjun really got started, Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and smiled and didn't slap his hand away, "You don't want to win an award for making this film?" After saying that, he pinched it.

"Well, I actually thought about it secretly." Liu Yifei laughed, and then slapped her husband's salty pig hand.

"That's it, the judges are not blind, the villain is so thin, it will definitely affect the characterization of your protagonist. I believe that if you give such a role to Sun Li, Sun Li will not like it in her heart. You have to make this person bad for a reason, and the character has to be plump. ”

Liu Yifei thought about it, what Zhang Yuanjun said did make sense: "Okay, I'll discuss it with Teacher Shuping again." ”

"He must have been aware of this problem, but he would give it to you because he was going to publish a draft a year ago so that you could explain it to investors."

"Then how do you say to change it?" Liu Yifei asked.

Zhang Yuanjun smiled: "You don't give me the screenwriting fee, why should I help you change it." ”

"Why are you so stingy?" Liu Yifei said.

"This is not in line with the rules, even if you are the producer and starring, you can't adapt the script of the drama like this, you first discuss with Mr. Shuping, come up with an opinion, you change it first. This is only the first draft, and when it comes up, I put aside the screenwriter and change it myself. Zhang Yuanjun said.

Liu Yifei used to make commercial romance films like "Time and Space Traveler", it doesn't matter if the characters are thin, but the thin characters in literary films are very fatal, especially movies with realistic themes.

Liu Yifei has never encountered this situation, and it is inevitable that she will not deal with it, Zhang Yuanjun reminded her: "Chen Zhixi is very likely to invite a producer to supervise the crew, you should be mentally prepared." ”

Liu Yifei didn't take it to heart: "This is her power, let's see who will supervise the production." ”

"In fact, it's good to have a producer who knows how to create to watch the crew, the theme of domestic violence and child abuse is more sensitive, and with the producer to check it, you can avoid a lot of detours."

After the script of "Miss Bai" came out, Liu Yifei became busier at work.

On the other hand, Wanda is also actively promoting the cooperation of "Hypnosis Master", and Zhang Yuanjun is now focusing a large part of his energy on "Hypnosis Master".

At the end of the month, when Wanda knew that Zhang Yuanjun's studio was about to go on vacation, she gave an opinion, Zhang Yuanjun fixed the salary of 33 million, and if you want, you can also choose another way of remuneration: 10 million + 17.22% of the film's box office share.

According to the latter's share, a new director like "Hypnosis Master" needs to produce a box office of 400 million at a small cost in order for Zhang Yuanjun's share salary to be higher than the fixed salary.

There are risks, but there are also opportunities.

Can Zhang Yuanjun + Liu Yifei's husband and wife take off a rare domestic brain-burning suspense film?

Liu Yifei's team did not choose the sharing model, but took its own fixed salary of 12.4 million.

The reason is that the husband and wife must always have a foundation.

The team prefers to also get a fixed salary, but when it was reported to Zhang Yuanjun, Boss Zhang chose to share: "This book is good, give it a go." ”

The reason is so capricious.

Wanda was very happy, not to mention the underpayment, and also pulled someone on board to share the risk.

After Zhang Yuanjun chose to share, Wanda's production budget also came out, less than 40 million.

40 million and 400 million, 10 times the income, it's not that Wanda is not confident, it's that few people will believe this set of numbers, Wanda Pictures is naturally happy to play with Zhang Yuanjun like this.

The crew of "Hypnosis Master" blossomed, but I didn't expect Wanda to be so powerful, and invited Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei over.

But director Chen Zhengdao is happy and has a faint worry in his heart, he has rich directing experience, but his reputation is not obvious, he is very worried that he will not be able to control this big coffee couple in the crew.

Although the two are well-known in the industry for their tempers and willingness to cooperate, he is still worried that he will be overshadowed by big actors, what if the creative ideas of the two conflict with him?

Chen Zhengdao has no doubt that Wanda will definitely stand on the side of Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei, he knows too well what a big coffee, especially a big coffee who can sell at the box office, means to a crew, and such a big coffee will come and go.

Therefore, he decided to visit the two while there was still time to exchange creative ideas, talk about the details of the cooperation, and talk about the style by the way.

For Chen Zhengdao's invitation, the couple was more surprised, they thought that the two sides would not be able to meet until at least the next year, but they didn't expect the director to be in such a hurry.

The two happily went to the appointment, and during the dinner, Chen Zhengdao kept asking the two about their suggestions on the script and story, and explained his creative ideas, and also showed the two his storyboard manuscript.

The more they looked at it, the more they felt that it was wrong, and the director's posture was a little too humble.

Liu Yifei said politely when she was about to leave at the end: "We don't have any opinions, you are the director, we will try to cooperate with you." ”

"Thank you, two teachers, then we'll see you next year."

"Okay, thank you, Director."

Both parties broke up and went back separately. (End of chapter)
