China Entertainment Mythology 2004

"Why are you all looking at me?"

After Li Mu finished speaking, he saw that his parents and uncle were staring at him, so he asked.

Liu Xiaohui clicked her tongue and said in surprise: "Is this still my son? I almost don't recognize him anymore."

Li Yuansheng said: "You can try it, there is a possibility of success, but what kind of assistant director do you want to be? Do you know what it is like to be a director?"

Liu Xiaowu said: "Come here for a meal, but it makes my blood boil."

Li Mu first replied to his father: "Isn't it easy to be a director? As long as the scenes you shoot match the scenes in your mind."

After saying that, he turned his eyes to the face of his uncle Liu Xiaowu and continued: "Uncle, don't just be so excited. You really have to take action on this matter. I will give you the script in a while, and you go find Yan

Factory Director.”

Liu Xiaowu immediately backed down and said: "Xiao Mu, this matter... you know that I am an honest man, and I am not very sharp-tongued. Don't mess up your matter, or I will take you with me."

Go talk to Factory Director Yan in person? The key is that I am not sure."

Li Mu put down his chopsticks and said earnestly: "Uncle, if you want to make a career, you have to try whether you are sure or not. You are absolutely sure. How can it be so easy? Tsinghua University and Peking University are not as good as

If you are brave, you might as well dare to enter Harvard or Yale on your own."

"Because opportunities are created by breaking out, how can we calculate them? Be bolder, seek wealth and wealth at risk, dare to think, persist, be thick-skinned, and you will definitely succeed. If you give him a billion, we will retire."

Li Yuansheng: "?"

Liu Xiaohui: “??”

Liu Xiaowu: "???"

…

The next morning.

Office of the Director of the Western Film Group Management Committee.

After the establishment of Xi Film Group, the original position of director of Xi Film Factory became history and is now called Director. However, the old employees still used to call Director Yan Director Yan.

Liu Xiaowu knocked on the door of the director's office with the script in his hand.

"Dong dong dong"

"Enter!"

"Director."

"Well, Xiao Liu, what's the matter?"

"My nephew Li Mu wrote an action movie script. Cheng Long happened to be filming at the Terracotta Warriors Museum these days. My brother-in-law showed the script to Cheng Long. Cheng Long really liked it at first sight and said he wanted to use the market

He bought it at the highest price and started filming "The Myth" as soon as it was completed. He himself played the leading role and invested at least 50 million."

Liu Xiaowu was extremely nervous. He had memorized the lines all night, but now he said them all in one breath.

Yan Yiyun then raised his head and his eyes fell on Liu Xiaowu. Liu Xiaowu felt tremendous pressure.

"Keep talking!" Yan Yiyun said.

Liu Xiaowu took the risk.

"Director Yan, what my nephew means is that he is afraid that he cannot control such a big project. For Xijing filmmakers, Xijing Film Factory is their natal family, so he hopes that the factory can come forward to jointly invest in this film with Cheng Long.

.”

"What you're holding in your hand is this script you're talking about?"

"Yep."

"Let me consider."

"Okay, okay."

After receiving the script, Yan Yiyun did not read it directly, but asked: "Cheng Long wants to buy it at the highest price on the market, and also stars in it himself?"

Liu Xiaowu said: "It's absolutely true."

"You sit down first and I'll read the script."

"OK."

Yan Yiyun then opened the script.

He knew Liu Xiaowu, a very honest employee, but what he said was too fantasy.

How about reading the script first.

The plot is not complicated.

The protagonist is a retired agent. He neglected his wife and daughter because of his work, which led to his wife divorcing him. His daughter and him had long-term conflicts. His daughter was rebellious and traveled abroad without authorization with his best friend. As a result, he was caught. According to the past style of this organization,

The protagonist has only 96 hours to get his daughter back or he will lose her forever.

Although the storyline is quite simple, the details are extremely realistic, and the atmosphere is particularly rare.

Especially the scene where the daughter is hiding under the bed makes people's hearts jump into their throats when reading it.

He chased her for thousands of miles just to save his beloved daughter.

On the plane, the protagonist listened over and over again to the words "I wish you good luck" said by the group who kidnapped his daughter before leaving. This made Yan Yiyun extremely moved when he read it.

The protagonist comes to the city where his daughter was arrested, and follows her footsteps, searching for clues starting from the airport, then the hotel, and then the red light district.

As time goes by step by step, and as more and more evidence shows how vicious this group of people is, and as the protagonist follows the clues to the red light district, the well-informed Yan Yiyun cannot help but feel sorry for this person in the script.

I am deeply worried about my daughter's fate.

"call!"

Forty minutes later, Yan Yiyun slowly raised his head.

"What else does your nephew have to say?"

Liu Xiaowu stood up immediately. When he heard the factory director's question, what his nephew said yesterday suddenly flashed in his mind.

"You have to be more courageous. Tsinghua University and Peking University are not as courageous, and Harvard and Yale are not as courageous as trying to enter on your own."

After silently reciting, Liu Xiaowu raised his head resolutely and said: "Director Yan, my nephew said that he wants to be an assistant director and wants me to be an editor, and he has to agree on the final editing rights. I feel that I am an employee of Xiying. Xiying invested and sent me

It’s no problem at all when editing.”

"My nephew also said that he was very optimistic about this movie. Cheng Long said that he would be given 300,000 yuan in screenwriting fees. He hired an assistant director. The assistant director's labor fee was still 200,000 yuan. He would invest all 500,000 yuan in the movie.

, he waited for the money after the movie became a hit."

"As long as the factory can agree to these two conditions and come forward to negotiate with Cheng Long about the assistant director and final editing rights, then he will do his best to promote this cooperation - if Cheng Long is unwilling, he can terminate the cooperation and then

Find a new partner and replace the starring role of Cheng Long!"

After speaking, Liu Xiaowu's heart beat wildly.

"Qingdao University and Peking University are not as bold as Qingdao University. Is my uncle brave enough this time? You only need 300,000, and I will give you another 200,000 yuan. If you say that the worst case is to terminate the cooperation, what I said is that Cheng Long will change if he doesn't agree."

Cheng Long! Is my uncle going to be domineering this time? Is he brave enough?"

"And the implication of replacing Cheng Long is that even Cheng Long can be replaced, let alone the declining Xiying Studio?"

Yan Yiyun laughed after hearing this and said: "Your nephew is quite domineering. If Cheng Long doesn't agree, he will be replaced. What if Xiying Studio doesn't agree? You won't find Xiying Studio?"

Liu Xiaowu immediately became speechless.

Yan Yiyun smiled and said: "Okay, you go back first, I will study it."

Liu Xiaowu nodded and exited the office. When he came out, he realized that he was sweating on his forehead.

In the office, Yan Yiyun pressed the phone on his desk.

"Xiao Wu, notify the senior management of the group to hold a meeting. The time is set at one o'clock in the afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, Yan Yiyun opened the script in his hand again.

"Yes, this script is really good, especially the leading role played by Cheng Long - it's suitable. Cheng Long is indeed the best candidate for the leading role."

West Film Studio once collaborated with Chow Sing-chi on "Westward Journey". That time West Film Studio was able to produce all the best, but unfortunately the final result was not very good and the box office of the movie was not high.

But at that time, the factory leaders originally looked down upon the script of "Westward Journey" and thought it was all nonsense.

I remember that when Zhao Jiping was a staff member of the production company Xi Film Studio, he even refused to enter the recording studio because he was embarrassed. He even said bluntly: "Please, don't reveal my name. I can't afford to embarrass this person!"

At that time, most of the leaders of Xiying Film Studio thought it was nonsense after reading the script.

Many old employees of Xiying Film Studio still feel that the script is too bad and that it is a spoof of the "Four Great Classics".

But that time, considering Zhou Xingchi's prestige in the film industry and money, we finally decided to co-produce.

But this time it’s different. Cheng Long also has a huge influence in the film industry. How else could he film in the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit No. 1? Although he has been complained about box office poison recently, this time the script is really not good at all.

It's not bad, at least it's not as controversial as that time. Last time the box office wasn't high, but this time it's not that bad. Cheng Long is the actor in this film, and he has a good lead.
