"Hey, Xie Mingyuan, I went to Wang Jing and tried it, but it didn't work. I said, answering the phone.

Xie Mingyuan's voice came from the other end of the phone, "That's right, you come to Jinjiang International at 6 pm tomorrow, we are in the 'Sea and Sky' box on the second floor, bring Liu Ruoxi with you." ”

......

The next day, I took Liu Ruoxi into the box, and there were five people sitting in it, in addition to Xie Mingyuan, Bai Jie, and Lu Chengfeng, the three I knew, there were also two men in their early thirties. One has a flat head and dresses plainly, like a migrant worker, and the other is polite and wears a pair of glasses, looks very handsome, and looks like a cultured person.

Xie Mingyuan stood up and introduced: "This is Yi Chongtian and his girlfriend Liu Ruoxi. ”

"Yi Chongtian has made a lot of headlines, and I have long admired his name. This is the first time we have met. The handsome guy with glasses stood up and said with a smile.

Xie Mingyuan smiled and introduced me to the flat-headed migrant worker and the handsome guy with glasses, "These two are the young director Fan Xiaogang and the famous screenwriter Mr. Yan Fuji. ”

"The word famous is too much, to be precise, it should be unknown. Yan Buji smiled, "None of you here should be outsiders, so we don't need to praise and praise each other." "This guy looks pretty realistic, and my first impression is pretty good. Since he is a famous screenwriter in Xie Mingyuan's mouth, then another flat-headed migrant worker who doesn't talk much is the young director Fan Xiaogang, who is really unseemly......

I took Liu Ruoxi to shake hands with Fan Xiaogang and Yan Buji, and sat in the empty seat between Xie Mingyuan and Bai Jie. Xie Mingyuan instructed the waiter to serve the food, and no one else should have come.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Xie Mingyuan began to get down to business, "All of you here today are my friends, so let's talk straight." He raised his glass and gestured, "To put it mildly, we are all very unsatisfactory people in the film industry, how can you say it in a fashionable word?"

"Hit the streets. Yan Buji added.

"Yes, we are all on the street!" Xie Mingyuan stood up and toasted: "Cheers to the street!"

"Cheers!" everyone gulped down.

"If you want to talk about hitting the street, Bai Jie and I are afraid that we will fall down my grandmother's house. I asked Liu Ruoxi with a smile, "What nickname did people give me?"

Liu Ruoxi glanced at Bai Jie embarrassedly and said, "Black wind and double evil, box office poison." ”

Lu Chengfeng hurriedly comforted: "Don't worry about those rumors on the Internet. ”

Bai Jie glanced at him, "Except for you, none of us cares." ”

"That's right! If you take those crazy words to heart, then you don't have to mix in the entertainment industry. Xie Mingyuan said: "We are gathered together today, not for self-deprecation and bitterness for each other, but for ......."

"Counterattack!"

"That's right!" Xie Mingyuan slapped the table, "Counterattack! Isn't it popular to counterattack now? ”

"How to counterattack?" Fan Xiaogang finally spoke up, "Pay for independent films?"

Independent Films: Films that are financed, filmed, and distributed outside the traditional film system, and that are independent of the system, are called "independent films".

"That's right!" Xie Mingyuan was very excited today, he stretched out his hand to solemnly push Lu Chengfeng, "I'm ashamed to say it, this idea was first put forward by Lu Chengfeng, an outsider." ”

Lu Chengfeng seemed to be a little uncomfortable being regarded as the focus of attention, and said: "Actually, I don't know that much, I just want to help Bai Jie find an opportunity to remake the movie and make a name for herself as soon as possible." If others don't give you a chance, then create your own chance. "Lu Chengfeng is really soft on the outside and strong on the inside, very tough, otherwise he would not be able to persist in the long-distance love run for ten years, and he will not change through wind and rain.

"That's a good point!" I also stood up and said, "If others don't give you a chance, then create your own chance!" I was the first to agree. ”

"You're the third. Bai Jie pointed at herself and Xie Mingyuan, and asked, "Director Fan, Mr. Yan, and Ruoxi, what do you think?"

"I think it's okay. In the face of important things, Fan Xiaogang made a quick decision. Yan Buji also nodded, Liu Ruoxi naturally did not have any objections.

"Very good!" Xie Mingyuan raised his glass again, "Since we all agree, then let's work together to counterattack well!

I dried my wine and put down my glass, "Thank you, for your amount of wine, let's drink it slowly, let's get down to business." ”

"Okay, drink more of your drinks, I'll save a glass of reunion wine for the end. Xie Mingyuan stretched out his chopsticks, "Come on, come on, let's talk while eating." The army has not moved the grain and grass first, let's discuss the matter of raising funds first, Lu Chengfeng told me, he and Bai Jie can come up with a million. ”

I can't see that Lu Chengfeng is quite rich, I revolve around Bai Jie all day long, and I don't see him go to any class, is he a rich second generation? I sandwiched a piece of shredded chicken to Liu Ruoxi and said, "I also give 1 million." ”

"I'm not as good as you movie stars, I'm penniless. He spread his hands. Fan Xiaogang doesn't have much money, let alone Liu Ruoxi, she still robbed me of the bed she slept in.

"It's okay, I'm not a poor bastard. Xie Mingyuan smiled self-deprecatingly, "Those who have money will pay, and they will make a strong contribution." Three million is more than enough for a small-budget independent film. The next key is to choose the script, which depends on what you say. ”

I think the script accounts for at least half of the success or failure of a movie. The director can be decent, the actor can be famous, the special effects are just the icing on the cake, and a wonderful good story is the core of the core.

"I happen to have a script that I have just completed, a modern life drama film, there are not many actors, and I don't need a lot of investment, so you can see if it's suitable. He sent a plot summary to our phones.

This plot summary, titled "The Blind City", is only two or three hundred words, and I read it quickly. I remember that at that time, "Snail House" set off a ratings frenzy across the country, and "Snail House" was being discussed on the Internet on the streets and alleys, and "Blind City" was a tragedy, and the final ending was even more sadistic and shocking.

I feel that this script is absolutely a masterpiece, but I can't figure out the way of the Chinese world, and it hasn't been long since the painful lesson of the failure of copying books and songs before, and whether the things that can be popular in China have a head in China? With such questions, I am not in a hurry to express my opinion, let's listen to what they have to say first.

Bai Jie was the first to question.
