Chapter 95 You Are Like a Scumbag Who Cheats for Money and Sex! (Additional Chapter for the Helmsman of "The Leaves Fall as the Wind Passes")
It will be recommended in two days, so Pu Jie still has time to check if he has done it well.
For example, control the comments.
Now go to Wang Xiang's home, which is in Hongxing Heyuan Community, which is opposite the back door of Beijing University of the Arts.
Wang Xiang bought it here for the convenience of teaching.
"Tsk tsk~ Buying a house in Kyoto, although I have saved a lot of royalties, if I buy a house in Kyoto, it will be gone directly."
The housing prices in Kyoto in this world are also very high.
He is not in a hurry to buy a house in Kyoto. There are still 3 years before graduation, so he can think about where he will go in the future.
If you write novels and scripts, anywhere is fine. Although Kyoto is prosperous, it is not a livable place.
"Maybe it will be nice to buy a house by the sea in Sanya in the future, facing the sea, with flowers blooming in spring."
"It would be even better to have a girlfriend. At dusk, we can watch the tides rise and fall together, and the sun rises and sets."
"Well, the glass must be one-sided and transparent."
Thinking of this, he came to Wang Xiang's house.
He lives on the top floor.
"Are you here? Come in!"
Wang Xiang took Pu Jie's hand and went to the balcony on the second floor of his house.
The house was a loft with a small attic. When he opened the window, he saw a spacious roof outside, which he had transformed into a small garden. There was also a small pavilion, which was covered with creepers. He placed a bottle of Wuliangye and some side dishes on the pavilion.
It looked very artistic.
"Teacher Wang, your house is really well decorated."
"Oh, these are all useless. I just stay here for comfort. Come, sit down and take a look at this script I made. It has reached 90% of my peak strength."
Pu Jie picked up the script and started reading it.
After reading it, he showed an amazed look in his eyes.
"The old ones are still the best. The level of the script has been improved by your change. Wow~ It's just like what you said. With this script, I can tie a dog to direct it!"
"Then you don't even look at what level we are at!"
Wang Xiang looked proud. He opened his fan and fanned it a few times. There were four big words on it: Gold Medal Screenwriter.
"Come, let's celebrate the successful completion of our script "The Man from Earth" today!"
"Okay! I toast to Teacher Wang!"
The master and apprentice drank a few cups of wine, and then Wang Xiang said: "Although our script is very good and the shooting difficulty is not high, we still need to find a good director to shoot it carefully. It doesn't matter how much money this movie makes, but we have to aim for awards. I have a few old friends who make art films here, and they are all very interested in our script."
Pu Jie was helpless.
You have made so much money, you must not be interested in money.
But I am interested!
I am so short of money!
You may not believe it, but I am a best-selling author who earns 2 million a month, and I am going to be poor!
The largest sum of money on hand was given as a screenwriter, and I got the benefit of Teacher Wang's manuscript revision.
But he felt it was not appropriate for this film to be shot by several directors who made art films.
The three words "art film" are like "money-losing goods".
Pu Jie thought for a while and said, "Teacher Wang, I don't think making money and winning awards conflict. I just happen to know a director who is good at making low-budget movies, and I'm going to let him give it a try."
Wang Xiang hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something, but didn't say it.
"Okay, you are the first screenwriter, who to sell to and how to shoot are all up to you."
This is the rule of the screenwriter industry. The first screenwriter has all the rights to handle the script, and the second screenwriter only has suggestions and dividends.
As an old screenwriter, Wang Xiang knows that there are some things he can't say, otherwise the teacher-student relationship and the identities of the first and second screenwriters will make it difficult for Pu Jie to do it.
Since the two are working on the script together, they should follow the rules of screenwriters.
'Haha~ If it doesn't work, I'll deal with you in class! '
After sitting at Wang Xiang's house for a while, the two uploaded the latest version of the script to the film and television creator website.
It can be seen that 3 directors have expressed interest in the script and chatted with Pu Jie privately.
Pu Jie will not consider them for the time being, mainly for two reasons.
The first is that they are not familiar with each other.
The second is also that they are not familiar with each other.
He called Bi Gan, who had already seen the previous versions of the script of "The Man from Earth" on the website and was very satisfied!
He immediately set off to Kyoto to sign a contract with Pu Jie.
The next day.
The two sat in the milk tea shop in front of the Beijing Art School, looking at each other.
Pu Jie: "You don't have money to buy the script?"
Bi Gan: "Yeah"
"But you still want to shoot this script?"
"Yeah"
"So, you are planning to get something for nothing?"
"Yeah, ahem! No, you can invest in me, I don't want more for this film, give me 1 million, I promise to get it for you!"
Pu Jie thought for a moment.
"I understand!"
"You not only want to take my script for free, but also take 1 million from my pocket. You look like a scumbag who cheats for sex and money!"
Bi Gan: "."
"You can get a share. You are an investor, producer, and screenwriter. The big share will be yours. I just want a hard work fee."
Pu Jie thought for a moment. He was not sure whether "The Man from Earth", which he had modified and Wang Xiang had refined, would sell well in this world.
He didn't remember how the film sold on Earth, but he knew that the ratings were very high.
Although it was highly likely that he would not lose money, he only had 240,000 in savings, and he couldn't afford it.
After weighing the pros and cons, Pu Jie said: "How about this, I can't afford to invest, I will invest in this script and ask for 10% of your box office share, how about it?"
Bi Gan was a little puzzled: "I think the quality of this script is sure to make money if it is filmed, and there is even a chance to win an award. This 1 million is not a problem for you as a best-selling author. Why not invest?"
This is really a problem!
Wait for me to take out the 6.4 million, and invest at will.
"Ahem. Anyway, I only give the script, it's up to you whether you want to shoot it or not."
"Shoot!"
Both of them got a satisfactory answer.
After Bi Gan left, he went to form his crew, but the shooting difficulty of this movie was lower than that of "Country Love". The only difficulty was to find an actor suitable for the protagonist Wang Wen/Mang, who had to act out the energy of living for 14,000 years.
He has been a primitive man, an emperor, and a history professor in modern society. He really can't handle this role without some acting skills.
"Alas, the crews of "Country Love" and "That Man From Earth" are casting, but it's a pity that we can't send my Yu Han there."
"Country Love" is full of rural roles, sister-in-law, widow, wife. The roles are not suitable for Jiang Yu Han's pure youth style.
And the crew of "That Man From Earth" only has one old lady role and a 30-year-old female history teacher role.
It's not suitable for her either.
Her face is too distinctive, which will also limit her acting range.
"Forget it, they are all small roles anyway."
Pu Jie doesn't plan to stuff roles into the two crews. When the casting is done, he will take a look and try to restore the feeling he has seen before.
Suddenly, he thought of something and called Fu Weng.
"Hello, Director Fu, when you are casting, you can pay attention to the amateur actors from the rural Errenzhuan troupe. Find someone who is not good at speaking but funny, and find someone who is good at dancing awkwardly."
After a while. No more!
I will add one more chapter today. Please read and vote. It is very important from today to next Thursday. Thank you everyone!
