Chapter 499 Three Months Later
The young actors that Mr. Pu requested made several people nod.
Their investment in this film is very high, and judging from the current script, the acting requirements for the actors are also very high, and there are many emotional levels.
From the very beginning when the human elite despised the alien shrimp people, to the panic after being infected and being caught in the laboratory, their emotions went from despair to explosion, and finally escaped from the laboratory and entered the alien restricted area, and were forced to seek help from the shrimp people they had despised before. , then formed a friendship, and finally returned to the mothership to protect the shrimp man, and finally fought with humans who had completely become his enemies. The emotional tension was too great!
Even veteran actors may not be able to grasp it. Isn’t this domestic youngster just waiting to be sprayed?
"Shit! When I think of those stupid fans on Weibo who boasted that Giegie shed a tear during a filming and turned into a great acting talent, my brain hurts!" Liu Ming scratched his head twice.
The other three sighed and shook their heads.
After a moment, Wu Ma tentatively said: "How about we find Liu Hao, who is very popular recently? He has acted in several big-box-office movies. Currently, he is the number one among the young actors in terms of box-office appeal and acting skills. ”
Although Ma Xing has made movies in Hollywood before, he has also been paying attention to the domestic film market, so he naturally has an impression of this current leader of young actors.
After thinking for a moment, he took a sip of tea.
"Tsk~"
"It's barely enough. Don't expect to be able to produce 100% of the effect of our script. If you can achieve 60% of it, even if you and Director Wu are not good at guiding it. Calculating my performance in the two years and the bonus of box office appeal, I can barely give it." Our movie is a deducted actor.”
It can be seen that the two directors are very reluctant.
Zhang Yang also bared his teeth and shook his head. We screenwriters are more picky than directors.
Screenwriters are a group of people who want to tell good stories, and they hope that an actor will ruin the script they have worked so hard to write.
Of course, except if the male lead often comes to the room late at night to talk about the script.
No matter how low your ideals are, they have to make way for Niu Zi.
Zhang Yang thought about it for a moment
"Perhaps you should find someone to help you analyze the problem of Liu Ming in depth."
I picked up the phone and called Daxing.
In Wai, Mingsha Island, under the deck of a milky white boat.
"Oh, you probably understand."
"Actually, they have fallen into a misunderstanding. Does the request given by Liu Ming seem strange on the surface? Is it abrupt? Is it very reasonable?"
"Because that's a typical trap question!"
"Once they fall into the trap given by Liu Ming, it will be difficult to understand Ji Huan's true intention. The first finished product had to be scolded by Liu Ming. If Liu Ming personally explained the elements to them, at this time, Ji Huan would I’m afraid Huan’s evaluation of our production department.”
"Fortunately, he made that call to you!"
"Actually, there is no post-condition in Liu Ming's request: What does it mean to be a great actor?"
"In fact, that word didn't exist only in those few years, and it won't exist in the future. It's just that in recent years, due to the professionalism of some actors, the word has gained a derogatory connotation, but you have to know , since Liu Ming asked you to find a big fresh meat actor, he may be asking you to find a big fresh meat actor with this derogatory term, but a real big fresh meat actor, young, weak in plasticity, dedicated, no acting skills, no appearance value."
"I must be a great actor now. I once gave the audience the impression that an actor can be great, but the grown-up actor is more in line with your requirements."
Shaoyu Production Department, large conference room.
Under the white walnut-colored solid wood conference table, Zhang Yang's mobile phone was placed in the center, and Daxing's calm and confident voice came from outside.
There was a complete silence before I finished speaking.
The expressions of the seven people were shocked, gasping, thoughtful, and stunned, with no sense of hierarchy.
"Listening to one of your words is like listening to several!"
"I understand, I understand! Thank you Daxingju!"
Zhang Yang hung up the phone, beaming.
Wu Ma said directly: "You name one, Pan Yueming! Daxianrou debuted, and that word will be synonymous with me ten years later! I have no looks, no acting skills, but I am generally dedicated! I came here because I am a little young and my body management is in place. , and got married, which led to a sudden drop in the number of fans and damage to my career. In addition, in the past few years, the entertainment industry was impetuous and various traffic stars took off. I have slowly forgotten about it. I have received few roles. But as far as you know, My acting skills have become more refined in those years, and I am at my peak when I am in my 30s.”
Miao Sang: "You don't have any impression of that person. He was indeed Da Xianrou. Your boyfriend generally hated me when I was in school. He came to see my works many times. Now that he talks about it, it has piqued your interest."
Zhang Yang immediately agreed: "Let me audition, if possible. It'll be me!"
"The big fresh meat that has been precipitated is also big fresh meat, and it is stronger. It turns out that Liu Ming means that. He has learned it." Bell was convinced.
Before the few people settled the matter, they went to work on their own affairs.
After leaving, Miao Sang asked firmly: "Well, who is the person that Mr. Zhang called just now? His understanding is really extraordinary."
Hearing this, the corners of Zhang Yang and Ji Huan's mouths tilted together.
"Da Xingju, also known as Ji Huan's Spokesperson in your company, just ask me directly about Liu Ming. The two of them, like Boya and Ziqi, searched for close friends through mountains and rivers. It is a good story in your company. "
"Their boss's way of doing things, whether they have superiors or not, is really elusive, and the corporate culture is boring."
Miao Sang was amazed and left.
Previously, Zhang Yang and Ji Huan continued to revise and improve the script.
The 100 million details added have greatly increased the amount of our text!
While revising it, Zhang Yang suddenly said: "When you finish revising it, show it to Liu Ming for a look, and then finalize it. By then the script will definitely be perfect."
Ji Huan frowned, and I suddenly remembered some words I had while chatting with Niu Zi and Tian Gou from the online literature department.
My imagination is extremely developed. I even thought I had nothing wrong with me and went for a check-up. The doctor also found through the test that my left brain is not as active as a special person, and the area that controls imagination and divergent thinking is obviously prominent.
That also allows me to occasionally think of a series of contents through one thing.
For example, just now, I passed by Shaoyu Animation Company and saw Mr. Liu playing Teamfight Tactics with two golden shovels placed under the equipment bench. Suddenly, he blurted out:
"I want to synthesize the power of nature so that I can give him a population."
Somehow, I seem to think of a possibility that subverts common sense. If I tell it, no one in the entire company will doubt me!
I grabbed Mr. Zhang’s arm and said seriously: “Mr. Zhang, if he believes you, he will let you change the script he gave Liu Ming that time.”
Zhang Yang thought for a moment, then his eyebrows lifted with joy.
"Is that so cool? Give him the pen and let him write. Anyway, you have already completed the most difficult part. He can just watch and control the remaining big details!"
The last moment, I directly opened Teamfight Tactics and found Xiaochun who was fighting.
"Xiaochun, let's get together!"
Bell breathed a sigh of relief before getting the rights to write the script.
"Although there is a small chance that the content you guessed is just wild imagination, it is always wrong to be cautious."
The next script was killed, and I still feel heartbroken when I think about it.
This is also the crystallization of my wisdom, and I have no intuition that if that script is killed again, it will be difficult for me to think of another script of the same quality in a short time.
a week ago.
Ji Huan and Zhang Yang went to Liu Ming with the newly revised script.
Before Liu Ming finished reading, he nodded frequently.
"That's the taste! It's obvious that he is showing off his handiwork! His level is way lower than before!"
"That reminds you of the days when our script was reviewed by director Wang Xiang."
"Okay, okay! Just shoot like that!"
There was a confident expression on Zhang Yang's face: "Okay! Ji Huan will just wait for you to make him some money!"
Liu Ming smiled politely: "Yeah, okay."
It looks a little more detailed than next time, but the details are not written in detail. It still looks overwhelming. Liu Ming is satisfied.
If you can make money by taking pictures, then there is nothing wrong with it!
Investment of 360 million yuan, net loss of 350 million yuan!
"Hiss~ In the mid-term, the money earned by the company may be enough to invest in movies. Then we will have to get some loans and pay them back quickly."
"Harm! These are big problems, and Assistant Qi will handle them anyway."
"Do they think being a boss is a happy place? Laugh~ The boss is so happy. He can't even imagine that!"
If you have nothing to do, just let the secretary do it.
“Then all the above-mentioned matters have been taken care of, and you can worry about catching fish for a few months!”
Ji Huan laughed wildly!
Bell walked out of Liu Ming's office, seemingly certain of something.
When I returned to the office, I took out the script of the "Billion Points of Detail" and gave it to the director.
"The project can be officially launched!"
Casting, location selection, green screen, pre-production guidance, action guidance, models, props, costumes. A small pile of things are waiting for us to operate.
11 months is plenty of time.
We needed to contract out the special effects part of that film to a few companies to ensure that it was completed within the season deadline.
Fortunately, the crew had no money.
at the same time.
Desert island survival programs and Shaoyumanke journals are being pushed back in full swing.
Other departments of Shaoyu Group have made steady progress based on the efforts of a group of struggling people.
Liu Ming focused his main energy on the serialization of "Lord of Fools" and increased the number of updated words while maintaining quality, ensuring that it would be less than 10,000 words per day in preparation for the awards in May next year.
In the blink of an eye, two months passed.
Tuesday, February 13th, the weather was sunny.
Mingsha Island.
A small boat hurriedly docked.
The group of six people, who had been surviving on the desert island for nearly three months, were waiting under the beach.
What came into view were the 6 faces with vicissitudes of life, fair skin, and the clothes underneath were in tatters. They had lost a lot of weight, especially Mr. Pu. After he came, he looked like a standard greasy middle-aged man. The young man worked in HR, so I eat and drink a lot, and now I have a beer belly, the fat in my body is gone, and I feel energetic!
Even without Ma Xing's little survivalist to lead the team, it would still be easy to survive for three months with or without other material help.
Fortunately, the big island has a suitable natural climate, is undeveloped, is rich in materials, has very little food, and is short of water resources.
Wow~
The milky white boat pushed the waves and stopped at the edge of the beach.
Meng Xingkong, Li Kepi, Liang Sepi and Ji Huan all burst into tears.
"Finally, it's time."
"Civilized society. You miss him so much!"
"You swear, you will never eat barbecued food again in your life."
"You feel like your wife will recognize you before you go back. She thinks you've traveled through time 10 years in the future, hahahaha!"
Mr. Pu laughed loudly, I felt that those eight months were all in vain!
After that, I always yelled that I wanted to lose weight, exercise, and be weak, but I didn't do it for various reasons. I charged the gym money month after month, and I went there a few times. The gym coach laughed so hard!
"Thank you Liu Ming!"
Although the others looked very tired, they were very excited inside.
"Hi, hi, hi! Everyone, long time no see!"
Daxing jumped up from the deck wearing a director's hat and hugged everyone one by one.
Ma Xing watched and laughed at the side. For me, the well-prepared desert island survival was just like a big kid playing house, but at best it was just enough to whet my appetite. I have experienced too few thrilling and easy environments.
However, I have a very good impression of the program team. During the whole process, there was only one cameraman full of food following the shooting. The others were fixed positions and manned aircraft that were placed in advance. It almost did not disturb our desert island survival. It was very real!
After that, many European and American program crews asked me to shoot similar ones, but the star's logistics car drove to the island. After performing with me for a day, he went to the RV to have some snacks and drinks, and took care of his skin and slept in the evening, which made me feel very accomplished.
I felt like I was playing with the crew.
The audience thought we were watching the monkeys, but in fact, I was the monkey in the eyes of the program crew.
Yes, making money is not good.
That program made Ma Xing very satisfied. Of course, the most important thing is that the Chinese are really generous.
In those eight months, I was given 300,000 US dollars, 100,000 US dollars a month.
For me, such a big job with almost no safety is already wrong.
Daxing handed Ma Xing a cigarette, and Ma Xing shook his head: "Thank you, but you need to let your physical and mental strength be completely under your control."
I handed it to Meng Xingkong: "Brother Meng, have one."
Meng Xingkong is an old smoker. When he was working in the online writing studio, he smoked 2 packs of cigarettes a day. He became more self-motivated when he came to Shaoyu Company because of the pressure.
I took it, held it outside my hand and looked at it for a moment, then sniffed it under my nose and frowned.
"You want it too"
Daxing was surprised and wanted to say something, but in the last second, he suddenly realized.
"It turns out that Ji Huan has no such intention."
He was very concerned: "How was the filming? Did you record the process? Do you need to make up the shots?"
You are more concerned about what kind of results Liu Ming will get in the end after spending so much money on the layout.
Daxing smiled confidently: "You can only use two words to describe that show: perfect! Very perfect! Pure natural shots, any modification and performance is more realistic than this! That show will definitely be a hit!"
Hearing Daxing's confident tone, the white seven-member group grinned, revealing four rows of small white teeth.
This is what worries us.
"Okay, let's get off the boat together! We've prepared a welcoming banquet for them. The day before yesterday was New Year's Eve, and it's time for Xiaojia to go home for the New Year. Nothing else. Let's talk about it after the New Year!"
"Yes, it's New Year's Day."
"It's New Year's Day again."
Liu Ming and Jiang Yuhan walked hand in hand on the streets of Kyoto, muttering as they looked at the lanterns under the street.
